The daily planet runs a front page article calling superman the light of mankind

Cue the batfam launching a counter campaign in support of Signal,  the real Light of Mankind.

It starts as a joke but quickly derails into an all out war.

Appreciate the heads up re: tone.

When i say taking fanon into canon, im talking about how fanon content e.g. fanart and fanfic have an unspoken layer of protection around them as a celebration of something and thus criticism of fanon is more petty than anything else. Obviously that happens anyway all the time but fanon is very personal and someone saying they disliked your fic or art Is personal.

Taking those fanon creators and putting them into the series is what I was referring to when I mentioned taking them into canon. The work is still coming from a place of love, but it is a part of the series now and people are naturally going to judge it as that first and foremost. You're taking these fandom people and spotlighting them for the judgments of not only the fandom but also the audience outside of it. That's a massive jump in the amount of eyes on you and your work, and alot more opinions that come flooding in.

TLDR it has nothing to do with the c/cc divide or lore stuff, maybe there were better or less confusing terms I could've used there but the language around this is kinda difficult to navigate since there's really very little stuff out there that's comparable. I didn't have an issue with the gimmick or the specific questions themselves I actually thought it was really fun.

The "meta" comment was also in reference to fandom meta, not life series meta. I talk about discourse alot on this blog but usually only in the context of the CCs, hence sharing my thoughts on my fellow fandom people is "too meta" for me.

As for specific examples of the "on edge" comment I'm referring to what I talked about in the replies. It's a very niche "on edge" but it certainly is "on edge". I could also provide the specific examples of that but again that feels. Too meta lol and I don't feel right publicly shaming them for posting out of emotion for what is again a situation I can't blame them for.

As for the actual confusion re: roleplay and the life series I think that's more or less irrelevant to what I'm talking about here and I can really offer my own thoughts on the matter but the rundown is: people like to take the events in the videos and interact with them as a narrative anyway regardless of CC intent. And sometimes the CCs do have more of a roleplay-orientated mindset than it appears (Pearl is a really good example and probably one of the more forward ones about her "character" being a different entity to herself). It's more or less just a fandom thing because writing with the mindset that THIS IS A REAL DEATH GAME THEY ARE ALL TRAPPED IN AAAAA is fun.

Thats the way I interact with it anyway and theres definitely some fun armchair psychology you could play with in figuring out how people approach things like the character and cc divide. But anyway it's not like you really have to think about any of it if it's a headache it's just fandom being fandom and I've been surprised in the past many times learning how many oomfs absolutely despise that system of thought lol.

In the end the feedback towards the gimmick was, as you said, overwhelmingly positive (which only makes the intense anti-crit agenda more annoying to me) so it's not like any of this will seriously impact the artimators or the series as a whole -- the series especially has gone through WAY worse hurdles. Hell one of them was like two episodes ago lmao

I wasn't the biggest fan of the gimmick tbh, but it wasn't too intrusive and I liked how it gave objects or curses instead of giving and taking lives, so it was not too bad I guess, but a bit too meta for my taste. Still worth it for Martyn fucking Littlewood going around, gaslighting everyone about the awnsers and the curses and also casually killing 4 people, he's such a weirdo and I aspire to be him actually

Oh yeah I have mixed feelings on this one cus on one hand. Good fun! Well designed! Funny! Gave us a lot of good moments and introspection on how the characters look back on specific events!

On the other hand it's 1. very much not my thang and 2. idk something deeper in here about this being probably the biggest involvement of fandom in the series itself and blurring the lines of "being nice to your fellow fandom members" and "people should be able to express how they feel about the series openly" a bit too much for me to feel totally at ease.

I've already seen some very. bad-faith responses to people just venting about disliking the gimmick and at least one person involved who seemed to have taken a negative reaction more personally. Not to mention the forums version of the quiz ending with "did you like our trivia" (and "'no" being an incorrect answer) and the ongoing already on-edge fandom within fandom relationship the artimator guys have with the masses.

I want to clarify and reiterate that I did have fun and liked the gimmick and don't fault the artimators at all for their reactions and certainly not for the direction the series has gone as a whole but I just think catapulting a group of fans from being well-known contributors to fanon to contributors to canon who may not be completely ready for that sort of transition is. Maybe not the greatest thing in the world is all. Like it's just yet another level of muddying the waters in terms of the "they're just having fun why are you so mad about people having fun" stuff that keeps popping up. Toxic positivity so on and so forth.

ANYWAY that aside yes I'm glad we all love Martyn what a fucking freak.

Ughhhh😫😣 tummy bulging from the amount of piss they poured in us

★.

"oh you can take it, can't you?" he said softly when his bladder was finally released, inside your soft walls, starting to fill you up little by little as the flow increased. "you can take everything..."

you tried to catch your breath even though your throat only let out moans, your face red and his warm body against yours, your legs trembled against his hands no matter how tightly he held them. it turns out he'd been drinking all day, he'd held it in all day so he could fill you up properly.

but it was too much, too much, and now his cock wouldn't stop spurting warm piss inside you, incessant and strong, soaking your walls, making it leak down your folds even if you tried to hold it in.

"look how beautiful your needy hole looks soaked in my piss... leaking so much." he moved closer to continue pushing slowly and deep against you, smirking as he heard you whimper his name.

and you swear you tried, even though you failed miserably, not enough for him, who growled low and thrusted harder with eyebrows tensed. because if you couldn't, he would help you, even if you squirmed beneath him and whimpered loudly.

"see, love? so deep." he smiled at you as he watched his cock lift your belly slightly. "can you feel it too? s' good uhm?" your lips pressed together when he let go of one of your legs, running it over your skin on the way to your belly, caressing it lightly. "i'll fill you up so much..."

he already was, because even if the piss was still leaking out and you could feel the heat invading your insides, filling you to the brim, you could see your belly bulging more now not just because of his cock that was burying itself in you as deep as it could go. he was really filling you.

"t-too much-! " you whined softly, clutching the sheets while he kept looking at you as if he could devour you whole. he pressed lightly just for fun, watching the piss pour out of your pussy, hearing you whimper loudly.

"too much? oh, i haven't even reached the end yet..."

i had such a hard time writing that, what a pain, thats why is so short amd kinda bad btw, sorry. =( anyway, i'm off today, so i was trying to do something at least.

but dw, i'll do it justice later, cuz this ask was so hot-- lord.

sick pony hcs and people taking care of him because i think some FUCK ASS MF got me sick (sore throat and racing heart survivor rn) and i can not DEAL

we all sick rn, i was sick yesterday, my sister sick, we all just strugglin😭😭

•pony sneezes so damn loudly, he gets 2 sneezes of bless u’s before steve tells him to shut his mouth

•in this family, sprite IS ginger ale and thats what ponys been drinking that and gatorade (thats darrys idea)

•johnny just,,,,stares at pony, its to watch out for anything wrong, but i promise u if someone was staring at u like “⚫️-⚫️” u would feel uncomfortable n scared no matter what too

•pony could be struggling to breath and he still wants go look good, and thats where soda comes in, sodas always fixing up his hair and telling him he looks tuff (he dont but its ok ponys needs the emotional support)

•do u think pony takes showers not exactly bc he stinks but bc he can sneeze in there without covering his mouth n stuff and just b sick then clean himself after,,,,i think he does

•ponys like, the exact opposite of the kid who fakes being sick, darry has to force pony to not go to school and go lay down and get rest 😭

•two bit goes “here comes the airplane” to pony when its time for him to eat his soup and ponys never felt so humiliated in his life

•pony def mix drinked benadryl and nyquil and hoped he didnt die in his sleep, before, he didnt die, but the 10 minutes after he did???? he def felt like he saw his parents

•there was always this small poem his mom made and she would always say it when someone was sick, and none of the curtis bros rlly remember it, nobody from the gang either, however pony of course remembers most of it, and soda likes being #silly and making it a fun lil joke where he says a line thats CLOSE to the actual poem or just like, not close at all to what it was, to see pony smile

•at some point in time pony had a kitten sneeze and everyone would call it cute or tease him for it, pony never likes when ppl (darry, curly, soda, and two) bring it up

•pony kinda likes when his throat is sore bc it makes his voice sound more gritty, if u listen closely u can prolly hear him saying lines from wild west movies in the mirror

Time and Time Again comes back tonight!

Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know it was a long hiatus.

My health was struggling, my arm was (is) hurting, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'd rather be slow!

So thank you for giving me that grace, and I hope you'll be there with me for the rest of the series.

mark hears your giggling before he ever sees you. it felt weird being at this party without you, but now that he hears you, so satisfied with whatever plans you'd strung together with his friends... he finds himself giddy with excitement. donghyuck tells him to stop looking for you quickly, acting as though you hadn't given yourself away.

he hears your voice before anyone else joins in: "haaaappy birthday to you..."

and then he sees you, carrying a cake with lit candles. the rest joins in, and mark's smiling harder than before. he sees the way the light reflects in your eyes as you make your way forward, leading the charge. he knows the cake in your hands is homemade, too, because you'd been casually asking him little questions for weeks now. what flavor he'd want, the colors, any decorations...

you could have literally bought him a crummy store-bought cupcake and he'd love you as much as he does now.

you set the cake down in front of him, and for a moment, he just wants to quickly kiss you before going back to the party. but he feels the way you lean in for a second, giving him a lingering kiss on the cheek.

"happy birthday, cutie," you giggle, "i love you."

he doesn't say it back--not now. not unless he wants to get teased by his friends for how in love with you he really is. when he says it to you later, you just smile and give him this cheeky "i know."

"all i have to do is look at you to know," you tease, stealing a kiss from him during this quiet moment the two of you have together. you giggle, leaning against him when he curls an arm around you. "no wonder your friends tease you so much."

(and his subsequent giggles say it loud and proud, too: he adores you with everything he is.)
