I've really grown to like the Cham model style, although... I gotta say, I've grown partial to Moyonote's stylized edit shape-wise. The only thing that bothered me was the hands, really. I wanted regular Cham hands but the body proportions of Moyonote's edit. So, finally, I decided to do it. I decided to make the base- ....edit? ....merger? One of those is the right word lmao.

I have the hand size comparison to the right side of the image, and you can see the front and back of the full body view of the base to the left. Pose by Snorlaxin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Model Rules:■ Distribution on a finished model: Yes ■ Distribution for swimsuit or base of a character such as Hatsune Miku: Yes, while still referring to the rule above. ■ Re-distribution of unedited base/model: No ■ Commercial Work (Making money out of it): No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------■  Edits of this model are allowed so long as she remains the same character.

■  Make sure to check that other models' parts can be used before editing.

■  R-18 content is allowed so long as a mature content warning is in place.

■  Under no circumstances may this model be used for VRChat or sold for profit on other modeling websites. Should you find this model being sold or improperly used as an avatar for anything other than MikuMikuDance, I ask that you report the account responsible and get it taken down. If in the circumstance it becomes a repeated issue, the model will be permanently taken down and no longer for public usage.

■  Link back to the original download location, do not redistribute this model data to other websites such as Mediafire, MEGA, etc.

■  Crediting Cham is <b>required</b>. Crediting Moyonote is <b>required</b>. Creditting myself (be it as RainwaterPearls or CaffeinatedChaosBean) is <b>required</b>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ■ Do NOT put this on any other 3d modeling website. As of late, LyraLaney and other like-minded individuals have been stealing and reuploading other creators' content, be it free to download or commissions. This is an ongoing issue that has caused many creators to stop doing commissions for the time being, especially those were who financially hurt by the illegal behavior. However, as a precaution, if I find ANY of my models to be stolen with illegal downloads made, I WILL get those reported and taken down. On top of this, the original downloads will also be taken down PERMINANTLY to avoid further theft. I work hard on what I make, and should I find someone deleting my readme files and taking credit for all my work is both frustrating and disheartening.

its nothing too interesting honestly, like i said first time ever doin this kinda thing and its based off that one post i made that i cant find but read it :P

[the-ultimate-muses]

Just like all the other emotions that had flickered across the mechanic's face these last few minutes, the worry was quickly settled once having Gundham reassurance, even if Kaz could understand even less than usual. "Yay!! I like the hamsters." That much was rather obvious, Kazuichi...

It took a shout of his name to take that silly little grin off Kaz's face, his head turning to spot Ibuki standing on her coffee table waving her arms. Instead of shouting again, she instead twisted and turned her hands in a series of signs, of which Kaz responded in kind, the words spoken aloud presumably matching his hands. "But I'm talking to Gunnieeee." The return sign from her was enough to sober the mechanic, whatever it was, a rather funny noise getting caught in his throat as his face flushed so red it made him dizzy. "Grk- Shut up shut up shut up!!" Rapid fire movents only earned a laugh from Ibuki, the same motion as before signed back with just as much fervor.

Hands covering his face to muffle a frustraed groan, Kaz was no less red as he latched onto Gundham's sleeve and started to tug him along. "I need a smoke, we're going outside." Did he need Gundham to come with him? No. Did Gundham want to come with him? Maybe. Did Kaz want Gundham to tag along? Absolutely. He didn't think the guy knew sign language, but if Ibuki got a hold of him and told him what she said--

Shaking his head, it sending him a bit off kilter with how fuzzy his mind still was, Kaz didn't stop until they were at a quiet spot in the yard on its far side. Cigarette placed between his lips, it wasn't until he had flicked the flame of his lighter to life that he'd rememberd Gundham was right next to him. "Um...sorry. Do you, like...I don't have to smoke, I just wanted out. Or uh, you don't have to stick around if there's something else you wanna do or whatever...."

The compliment had Kazuichi giggling as he rocked from heel to toe, the motion giving a gentle tug at the breeder's coat where fingers were still curled into the fabric. "Yeah! I learned th' drums in middle school, thought it would make me cooler 'n stuff. Shoulda seen 'buki when I told 'er, had t' turn my ears off she was so excited! Hey, isn't that cool??? I can turn them off and on all I want!!" He didn't think he'd ever get over that, no matter buzzed or not. "'buk almost yelled as loud 's when she caught me singin' 'n dancin' 'n stuff in my garage that one time. I di'n know I 's good, I was just havin' fun, y' know?"

All that joy was swept away in an instant, however, when he learned the Devas weren't with the breeder like usual. "Awww, but I wanted t' pet 'em!!! They let me now, 'n everything! Th' would jus' bite me before, even Chunky-P!"

Aaand then his smile was back, the mechanic giggling at his own nickname for the fuzzy thing. "Pfft, he looks like, kinda like a fuckin'...like a chicken nugget. Hey, why is he so fat? Th' others are so fuckin' small, so why is he fat? You take good care 'f 'em, 's he sick or somethin'?" And now worry took over Kaz's face, fingers gripping tighter at Gundham's coat where he gave it a sligtht tug, as if to get the breeder to answer him faster. "Gunnieee is the fat hamster siiick??"

[turbotaxevasion]

Trying my hand at writing a little drabble:

Robin is honestly quite glad that he has Cassie's number when the guy he got half a date with becomes possessed.

Based on this post by @chamiryokuroi , thank you Cham for answering my ask :) this was fun. 10/10 will ask again

The flash of a knife as it plunged deep into a tan chest. Shocked gasps and held breaths. Then…

The thrum of drums. The whistle of panpipes. Thick purple fog rolled through the crumbling remains of the warehouse.

Robin watched as the body on the stone altar rose, the distorted laughter of two voices in the singular body echoing in his ears. He watched as Bernard, the young man he had been on a date with not even 24 hours ago, opened his eyes to reveal glowing orange.

“Oh, how I missed having a body,” he drawled, the two voices distorting his words. “It has been a while since I’ve been given a proper sacrifice.” He chuckles darkly. “Ooh! This will be fun!”

Robin sighed before reaching into his utility belt and pulling out his phone. The blonde tilted his head as he watched the hero dial a number and put the device up to his ear.

“What are you doing?” the distorted voices asked.

The dial tone ended as the other side picked up with a click.

“Hey Cassie,” he began.

Orange eyes widened, black sclera on full display. “Wait. Wait!”

“What’s up, Rob? You rarely call from this number.”

Robin glanced over at Bernard, the current vessel of Dionysus, as he waved his borrowed hands.

“I’ll leave, promise! Just, please. Pick anybody else!” he begged.

Robin sighed again and rolled his eyes. “We’ve got a situation. Can you get to Gotham? Fast? Your uncle is in my b– uh, friend’s body.”

Cassie groans. “Damn, which one?”

“Dionysus.”

The man in Bernard’s body shrieks. “Don’t tell her that!”

“Can you help?” Robin asked.

“Yep, be over in two.”

“Minutes?”

A gust of wind blew past him as Cassie landed.

She smirked. “Seconds.”

Across the stone room, there was a groan and a flash as Bernard’s body split, separating him from the new consciousness invading his mind. Bernard stumbled to his knees. Robin ran over, helping the disoriented young man up. When he looked up, Bernard’s arm slung over his shoulder, Cassie was shouting at a young man with orange fringe and pointed teeth.

“I can’t believe you!” she screamed, dragging him away by the ear. “Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is having to drag your ass back to Olympus!?”

“Ow. Ow. OW! Lighten up on the ear!” the young man screeched.

Cassie growled as he whined. “You better hope that grandfather is nicer than I am.”

“No, wait–”

Cassie disappeared in a flash, taking Dionysus with her. Robin and Bernard watched, one much more aware than the other. Robin sighed, his back slouching. He looked at Bernard, who was looking around with confusion. He smiled lightly, face softening as the blonde tried to find… something. Robin wasn’t quite sure.

“Let’s get you home,” Robin told him.

“Wait wait!” Bernard cried, flailing in Robin’s hold.

Robin slumped as Bernard writhed. “Woah! What? What is it?”

“I just… Can you tell Tim… Tim Drake… that I wish we could’ve finished our date?”

Robin hoped he wasn’t blushing, feeling his throat tighten and his cheeks warm. “Uhm… Y-yeah. Of course. Though, you’ll probably get the opportunity to do it yourself…”

Bernard grinned. There was a glint in his eyes that Robin couldn’t quite place.”

“I sure hope so.”

[antianakin]

So someone just left some tags on a post I reblogged about Kanera stating that if Kanan and Hera had been able to get together in a world that still had a Jedi Order and a Republic in it, that their relationship would've been considered a political scandal. Why, though? What would MAKE it a political scandal?

Of the two genuine romantic relationships between a Jedi and a non-Jedi that we know of in high canon, BOTH involve someone who is actively a political leader of their planet or system (Satine as Duchess of Mandalore and Padme as Senator for Naboo's system). The part that makes it a political scandal is the POLITICIAN part, not necessarily the Jedi part. And even that is not necessarily that big of a deal on the Jedi's end since clearly Mace and Yoda, two very veteran Council members, are very much aware that Anakin is at least sleeping with Padme if not in a romantic relationship with her and make zero attempt at trying to talk him out of it or even force him to admit to it. Obi-Wan is the singular person to do something like that and he only does so when he can tell Anakin is literally starting to fly off the handle with rage.

All Obi-Wan ever says is that the feelings are natural and we know via Lucas that the Jedi are not celibate, so it seems as though the Jedi ARE allowed to act on their feelings to some degree so long as the relationship remains somewhat casual. The Jedi can't really commit fully to any romantic relationship and the person they're in that relationship with would have to be willing to accept whatever that ended up looking like for them. I imagine the reason the Jedi DON'T end up in relationships very often, especially with people outside of the Order, is because most people who are looking for romantic relationships are simultaneously looking for a commitment that the Jedi just aren't offering. So it's easier to just bow out of the entire relationship and let it remain completely platonic than to try to work something out that isn't really meeting the other person's needs and guaranteed to go badly down the line.

Which leads us to Kanan and Hera. There's no real reason Kanan COULDN'T act on his feelings for Hera so long as they kept it relatively casual so that Kanan wasn't breaking any vows. And Hera's not a politician or a leader of any kind. Even Cham doesn't appear to be a real political leader, he's chosen to lead a small local rebellion, sure, but he explicitly never actually runs for any kind of political office the way Orn Free Taa seems terrified of. We never hear him given any title but General to my knowledge, so even though the Syndullas are clearly WEALTHY just based on their house, I'm not sure if he's actually considered a local political leader, a mayor or a governor of some kind. There's certainly no discussion of Hera taking over that responsibility within Rebels, a responsibility she would've abandoned when she left Ryloth. So I don't see that there would be any actual political scandal within their relationship since Hera's family just isn't politically important enough for there to BE a scandal.

Jedi having relationships isn't a political scandal in and of itself, it just isn't. Nobody in the Republic gives enough of a shit for that to be true.

Fossil Novembirb 1: The Chosen Ones

Neornithes, aka "Modern Birds" (whatever that means), encompasses every living dinosaur today

Not a single other kind of dinosaur managed to make it out of the Mesozoic Era

When you think of the sheer diversity of dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous, this is just bizarre - there were almost no Neornithes present whatsoever in the fossil record, but other dinosaurs - from Enantiornithes to Titanosaurs - were actually doing quite well, all things considered. They were everywhere!

So what even were Neornithes back in the Mesozoic?

A handful of extremely rare weirdos, is what they were!

Vegavis, by @thewoodparable

We have four confirmed Neornithes from the Maastrichtian, the last age of the Cretaceous: three duck-like things (Vegavis, Teviornis, "Styginetta") and one chicken-like thing (Asteriornis). Everything else is too fragmentary at this time to determine if they are truly a Neornithine, or just closely related.

Now, the family tree of Neornithes, at least at the base, is very well defined: We know that ratites and tinamou diverged from all other birds first (forming the Palaeognathae group), leaving the rest in Neognathae. We know that Chickens and Ducks ("Fowl") diverged from the rest of birds next, in a group called Galloanserae, leaving the rest of birds in Neoaves.

Which means, theoretically, if there were duck-like and chicken-like things at the very end of the Cretaceous, there should also be:

early Palaeognaths (because if Neognathae exists, so do they)

early Neoavians (because of Galloanserae exists, so do they)

And we've got.... nothing. Nada. Zip.

Asteriornis by @otussketching

And, let's face it: three possible ducks and one possible chicken is not exactly great turn out from the Galloanserans either

This is what we call a "gap" in the Fossil Record - things we know should be there, but just... aren't.

There are many reasons for this - Neornithes have exceptionally delicate bones and don't fossilize well in general (hence the fun we have in the Cenozoic with all the scrappy material); they probably were quite rare as other forms of birdie dinosaurs were having their heyday; and they may have lived in locations where we have not sampled the fossils present particularly well (ie, the "global south")

Which means, yes, the missing fossils may be out there... or maybe not.

What we do know is:

at least one Palaeognath made it through

several duck-like things made it through

at least one chicken-like thing made it through

at least one Neoavian made it through

Teviornis, by @thewoodparable

In fact, "Styginetta" and Teviornis are, possibly, early members of the weird Presbyornithid group - a group of duck-like birds that lived as waders, leading to them being affectionately named "Flamingo-Ducks". This group was exceptionally common in the early Cenozoic, and lasted through the Miocene - and it first appeared in the Cretaceous!

Ducks are true apocalypse survivors - multiple groups of them crawled through to the other side!

These animals were, in every way, "modern-type" birds - no teeth in the beak, shortened tail bones, powerful wings for flight. But they were far removed from modern ducks and chickens, lacking many of their key features.

Such a small, seemingly insignificant group... and only they managed to survive. Wild stuff!

[southeastasianists]

Mỹ Sơn (pronounced Mee Sahn) Sanctuary showcases the remains of a now-extinct Indian-Hindu Kingdom of the Cham people, which settled southern and central Vietnam between the 4th and 13th centuries. This site was the former religious and political capital of the civilization for most of its existence. Despite being lesser known, Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary offers historical and cultural knowledge on par with Angkor Wat.

Mỹ Sơn is home to 71 temple towers, built for the Hindu divinities such as Krishna and Vishnu, but above all Shiva. The tower temples were constructed over ten centuries of continuous development. The skill of the bricklayers is still marveled to this day, as the exact techniques used are still unknown. The original bricks are remarkably well preserved, despite being ravaged by war and 15 centuries of time. 

A Linga and Yoni lay at the center of many of the oldest temples, symbolizing the balance between male and female. The linga church is the oldest example of a ruling theocratic power in Southeast Asia. 

French archeologists found the site in the 20th century and began conservation efforts, although it's worth mentioning that a number of statue heads were stolen and brought back to France. During the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong used My Son as a military base, and were subsequently bombed by American soldiers, where the site suffered the most significant damage due to combat. 

Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary has been recognized by UNESCO since 1999.

[showrunnerihardlyknowher]

girl yeeeesssss spill the fucking tea 😫 don't go hiding that drama in the tags

Okay, so originally I wasn’t going to say anything because I did not have the energy or desire to rehash all of this to a community that I hardly interact with besides post-dumping every ~4 months. But then, ironically, two people DM’d me about this this week and now I’m feeling spiteful again, so let me regale you with the cringe tales of the Tumblr g/t community and why it gives me a headache to think about. And you know what? This bitch is being a pinned post, too, because I’m not going to let it be swept under the rug anymore. I’m rocking the boat, I’m naming names, I’ll be a little goblin starting dumpster fires.

Now, I will say there are definitely further issues in the community that I can’t personally speak on – rampant racism, transphobia, etc. That’s not to say these things aren’t happening or aren’t important to bring attention to, but I am not someone who witnessed it firsthand or experienced it. In my handful of years being active in this community, they are topics that have been brought up a fair few times, which is enough of a sign that it’s an ongoing issue. However, I also have not looked at any g/t related tags in almost a year, so whether or not these discussions are still happening or have been relatively resolved, I don’t know. It’s not my place to talk about them in depth when I would have no idea what I’m talking about or what to reference, in which case I implore others who have unfortunately dealt with this to please speak out about it. There’s other drama I am able to talk about because I went through it myself or by proxy, and so that’s only what I’m going to be relaying in this post. 

I feel like the most infamous implosion was the GTMS/Chamomile-g-tea debacle from half a year or so back, but at the same time based on the messages and DM’s I’ve received, it seems like…a lot of people have forgotten about that, or at least weren’t around/invested enough to know what happened. The quick recap is that @unicornofgt created a written series about giant mech suits that were actually powered by giant humans in a post-apocalyptic setting, inspired by a post made by our shared friend bolshoycorvid about Pacific Rim. It grew into a fairly well known series in the community, and while I had only read the first chapter, I still at least recognized it from my mutuals and some of the tags. 

And then Cham found it and became utterly obsessed with it, pumping out fanart left and right and opening the floodgates for its popularity. And that’s so cool! That’s great that such a talented artist with a large following genuinely enjoys someone else’s work that much, and is introducing it further to the fanbase for people to read! It’s amazing to get that kind of feedback to know people want to make art of your handcrafted characters because they adore them that much, it’s one of the best compliments a writer can get!

Except Cham really started getting into it. Like, helping-create-two-Discord-servers-without-permission, kind of into it. Like, posting-fanart-on-multiple-platforms-without-source-credit, kind of into it. Like, repeatedly-responding-to-messages-about-the-characters-without-consulting, kind of into it. And when I tell you her art for the main characters were everywhere, I mean they were everywhere, not just in the Tumblr g/t community. Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, they were posted, and they were never credited back to unicornofgt. I had friends send me her animatics of it, gushing about how amazing it was, totally unaware that it was a storyboard to the first chapter of GTMS (which I recognized and told them, at least).

And was unicornofgt mentioned in any of these posts, was their fic linked, was it even noted that these weren’t her original creations she was spamming to every platform? Nope. Not a word. They actually had to repeatedly ask Cham to credit them as she continued to drop the ball, and even so it was too little too late, finally coming in the few weeks before unicornofgt put a stop to it altogether. Some platforms would only allow an additional note to be added via comment, which was often missed or drowned out by the sea of other messages. Other places like Tumblr could allow a full body edit, however that did nothing for the hundreds of reblogs that were already circulating without a link back to unicornofgt, and are still out there, even if unicornofgt had Cham delete her GTMS posts. 

And naturally, if you’re not in the already niche Tumblr community, and even if you’re new to said community, you would have no idea! You would see her post these characters, answer questions about details for these characters, maybe even be invited by Cham to one or both of the two Discord servers for these characters (of which unicornofgt was a member of, but more often than not still not addressed for their story as Cham would take over and talk about GTMS when they were not online to agree/disagree) – Of course you’d naturally assume these are her characters and her story, and even if you knew different, you might become one of the many people swept up in the fandom environment created by Cham, which treated her as the forefront of it.

And please, don’t think I’m taking this out of context. Understand that unicornofgt DM’d me about all of this before they eventually abandoned their Tumblr a while ago due to this situation and the rampant bigotry in the community , and you can read their farewell post here. They told me about the growing anxiety and morphing disdain they felt when it came to their series, because it felt like that creative freedom had been robbed, pressured to morph their original vision to appease Cham, even  at the expense of their own passion for GTMS. They felt unheard, ignored, and pushed aside while Cham got to reap the benefits of their own hard work to bring it into existence in the first place. No matter how much they spoke about it in private with Cham or openly on the two Discord servers (they had never wanted in the first place), it didn’t matter. 

They told me about the instances in which they had multiple talks with Cham about this crossing boundaries, but ultimately not feeling  they could enforce them because as a meager content creator, they should feel grateful that someone so popular was giving their work as much attention as it was getting. Friends and followers agreed with that sentiment because more and more people were becoming unaware who the true creator was, and it seemed on the surface unicornofgt consented. They told me about how Cham had to be repeatedly told to stop and redirect any questions relating to GTMS to unicornofgt, instead of taking it upon herself to answer them, as a majority of the time whatever she said was at best a bad rehashing of unicornofgt’s own explainations that watered down unicornofgt’s characters to “silly stupid little incompenant man” and “big badass woman who loves him sooo much”, and completely ignored bolshoycorvid’s characters altogether. Sure, to Cham’s benefit, she would back down…for a little while, and then start those habits all over again and ignore what was previously requested, especially during the mini internet breaks unicornofgt would have to take since the pressure  gave them further fatigue, contributing to their pre-existing chronic health problems.

 Let’s not forget the free for all fandom that was created as well. Anyone with questions/comments/concerns all went straight to Cham and rarely to unicornofgt. Art requests, ideas or what-ifs, AUs – all to Cham. Her friends and mutuals straight up telling bolshoycorvid that they’ve never read their GTMS fics despite them being a fair chunk of the overarching universe, simply because they were hardly acknowledged in Cham’s art and frequent posting. The influx of underaged users coming in to join the fun and the Discord servers, which unicornofgt had already said they were uncomfortable with and had wanted the main server to at least be 18+ (a request that was, once again, ignored by Cham, who irresposibily never checked the ages of new users to the point any and all of her mod privileges were revoked and all invites were turned off). So many problems came from having those kids in an 18+ space, essentially taken over by Cham, that unicornofgt decided to pull the plug on the entire server and cut finally Cham off a week later.

From my understanding, this fandom behavior was even worse on Twitter to the point the GTMS characters were selected to be used in a roleplay tournament. The host reached out to Cham for her opinion of character authenticity during the rounds, while others were asking if they could use her art/comics for voice acting. Meanwhile Cham sent all of these to unicornogft because she thought it was funny, but  didn’t reiterate to any of these people that these were NOT her characters and if they wanted permission from the creator, they needed to reach out to unicornofgt. Even when unicornofgt tried to pass on this message, it was ignored by Cham’s little fandom, who continued to view her as the creative authority. 

But even worse than Twitter was the Tiktok, where many of Cham’s GTMS videos went semi-viral, still leaving her sitting pretty at 18k followers while neither unicornofgt or bolshoycorvid saw any of it. Hundreds of comments gushed about the art, meanwhile both the true creators were lost in it. Eventually Cham didn’t even ask permission before posting, not bothering to check if it was true to the characters, but why stop to think when those videos are getting views up to 250k, with all the comments telling you they adore you and your work? It is your work, right? 

What’s so insane to me is that you would think for such a talented artist, she would know the value of being properly credited for your work, especially fanwork across multiple platforms. But no, it had to be explained to her the importance of crediting the real creators of these characters in her posts, and the highly contrasting way people consume art, quick and easy to appreciate, vs writing, which takes more time to consume and appreciate. This isn’t some multi-billion dollar international franchise that’s universally recognized at a glance like DC/Marvel. This was a fun little series created between friends and shared with a small community as something new to enjoy for a little while. It’s not a licensed IP, it’s someone’s personal pet project that they enjoy. It’s completely unreasonable to assume a rando on Twitter is going to look at a badass pose of a giant woman and know that it at least came from an obscure series from an obscure fandom by a single person who was just trying to have fun on the internet. Hell, even 4chan users on the hentai board ask for sources all the time, to know who created these characters they’re jacking off to so that they can go check out their other work!! 

Instead, you try to get the source for a GTMS fanart, you likely get Cham, and from Cham you get…no one. Because she failed over and over to  make reference that it belonged to anyone else, via tags or in the text body, until long after it was too late with an edit. And there’s no sense in trying to beat around the bush, that’s borderline art theft. You took a character word for word, design for design, setting for setting, and sold it off as your own. It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t your intention, that you were ignorant of the consequences – it’s what happened and it needs to be owned up to. This isn’t a petty squabble between two teens on fanfic.net about a demonsona OC for Sonic Underground, this is an adult making a conscious decision to post content of something that doesn’t belong to her and not give an ounce of credit. Not only that, it just furthers the divide between artists and writers in a creative space, with the latter hardly ever getting their dues for putting in their effort for a written piece that an artist can doodle in 15 min.

 It was like creating a spectacle out of smoke, a flimsy foundation that was bearing its full weight down on the mental and emotional health of the person who actually created it. In a matter of months unicornofgt had gone from a simple writer of funny size difference things to being forced to watch their vision be watered down for the sake of uwu soft giantess wholesomeness, none of it being done by their hand.

And I think the worst part about all of this, after this whole mess finally came to light thanks to unicornofgt finally finding the courage to put their foot down and cut Cham off completely (both as a friend and for having permission to make anything GTMS related in the future), is that it was unicornofgt who had to leave this platform. It was bolshoycorvid who had to leave, in part for other reasons, but because they were also snuffed during this fiasco as well as both a co-creator and someone who had their own canon OCs/fics in the GTMS world. It was other friends and mutuals who left because they couldn’t stand the toxicity of this fandom anymore, the hypocrisy, the sheer lack of critical thinking and the inability to hold people accountable for their actions. GTMS was essentially abandoned after the dumpster fire was put out and that was it. The series that everyone seemed to fawn over and adore was forgotten at the drop of a hat. 

Why? Because it wasn’t the written fics or unicornofgt that everyone was attached to; it was Cham’s art and her version of an OOC story she was pushing they loved. And once she stopped posting it, that was it. Dead in the water. Absolutely tainted. Can you blame unicornofgt for not wanting to touch their own creation that they had made from the ground up and put so much thought and energy into, all because it had been essentially stolen and ruined by someone with a much larger following? A following that hit over 20K during Cham’s GTMS reign across multiple platforms , might I add, while unicornofgt was lucky to see a fraction of that for the same concept. 

I also want to note again that these are retellings told directly to me from the persons involved, including unicornofgt prior to their leaving, former fans, and Discord members, that I am airing with their permission. I’m also not someone who has a lot of social media or who followed GTMS at all, this is almost entirely coming from the creator (the REAL creator) in the time before they left, their experience dealing with the fallout, and the sentiment that even still they don’t hate Cham, but just wish there was even a single legitimate consequence on Cham’s part (and that non stop self bashing at the rescue of yes-men does not count). And it hurts to see a fellow g/t content creator be so scarred from this, to lose all interest in the things they cared about most and only wanted to share with their friends, due to one person’s inability to stop and think about their actions. And sure, maybe this is old drama, maybe it’s small and petty to still bring up, but it doesn’t seem like anyone else is going to pull back the rug that this was swept under, so it might as well be the local menace to the community to make a long ass post about it. Chamomile-g-tea killed an entire series and drove the creator, the co-creator, several fans and several more friends who also made g/t content off of an entire website because she couldn’t be bothered to not feel entitled to other people’s toys.

I lost a lot of good friends as a result of this, and the g/t community lost a lot of good content creators as well, to the point this really was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me to say fuck it. To sit here and watch my mutuals abandon their Tumblr’s and all their works in favor of avoiding Cham and her followers who keep pretending  she did nothing wrong, acting like her excitement justified her “promotion” of the story, never holding her accountable and accepting at face value her claims  that she had no idea the distress she was creating, letting her act as if she’s the victim of this whole ordeal – nah, chief. It didn’t matter if it was on purpose or not, it still happened, and she was allowed to get away with it scot-free, so I will continually throw this in everyone’s face so that the g/t community never forgets its track record . 

Because I really don’t understand how this entire community can go through the same run around of “is fearplay/petplay morally wrong to create in a place full of minors” (which is another debate I am NOT getting into right now) and cause several blogs to abandon ship over the backlash they received…but a well known artist forces a popular series to be discontinued and runs off the original creator and their friends after she stole their concept, and everyone is just like “damn, that sucks, she just got too excited /:” and pretends it’s nothing? There have been plenty of former blogs that were called out for less and were forced to be accountable for whatever fuckery they were doing. Besides, I thought we were supposed to be thinking about the poor children here, the sweet minors, which was what her wholesome SFW blog catered to. Last I heard from one of her followers she started posting softcore GTS (I wouldn’t know, I have literally 0 desire to scout her blog), which sure, go ham bestie with your titties and light crushing, we all know I’m an 18+ blog. 

But then she continues to interact and mass reblog from minors and bring them into her inner circle, sooo…which is it? Are we worried about corrupting the kids or not? Do minors have the ability to use critical thinking about what concepts are right or wrong, or not? Are people accountable for what they post or is it the responsibility of the viewers who need to heed the tags? Y’all don’t get to have it both ways. Not to mention, I will reiterate again, she never verified anyone’s ages and let them in freely to what was intended to be an 18+ space on the GTMS servers, which created PROBLEMS to the point the servers had to be shut down.

Everyone else can sit around thinking she got off scot-free and never needing to address the fact she destroyed an entire series beyond a meaningless sorry, but I’m not going to forget, even if I’m still the only one left from that era and friend group to be able to tell this side of the story. That hurt my friends just as much as it hurt the community to lose such incredible writers and their beloved content, and that’s inexcusable to me. Writers in general are already treated awful, especially in the g/t community, to the point people have the audacity to complain there’s no new content to enjoy after all the good writers got fed up with the lack of recognition. Art and writing are two different mediums and they both require an insane amount of talent to pull off beautifully – just because you can enjoy a pretty picture in 15 seconds versus a plot-rich fic in twenty-five minutes does not make one superior to the other. But if those fics are continually pushed aside, then why would any creator waste their hours and days and weeks and months making a story for no one to see? 

Writing out concepts and ideas are a labor of love that are graciously shared to YOU to also enjoy. Trust me, I have no problem keeping an idea to myself or to be tossed back and forth to my friends for fun, it’s far less effort to still ‘see’ whatever story I would have jotted down for 20K words. If the community is going to continue treating writers like shit, as demonstrated through this hot mess, then of course no one is going to stick around to deal with it. A talented writer lost the world they built, the characters they developed, the story they were trying to tell, to one single artist, yet they were the one who had to pack it up and call it quits after getting hit with hate, while the other gets to roll in the second hand clout from un-credited posts across various platforms to further their own artistic career.

And frankly, I don’t really care about what kind of reception this post has; if it’s only seen by 5 people or if it’s seen by Cham herself, if people agree or disagree vehemently with it. This blog is also more or less dead aside from the few times a year I drop a new fic or art, so feel free to scream into its void as much as you want lmao

A feeling in the force

Kanan didn’t need the force to feel something off about Hera lately.She wouldn’t say anything about it but she didn’t need too…she felt so tired? Empty? Like he could taste the bitter tears coming off her though it wasn’t visible on her face.Finally He couldn’t talk it any longer.He didn’t want to push her but it felt like the unshed tears where stinging him.So as she was heading to the cockpit ladder.He took her arm.

“Hera spill what’s going on.” Hera wasn’t the pity type so he needed a different approach.

“Nothing.” She responded.

“Thats a load of bantha fodder and we both know it.”

“Oh really how could you tell? Is it Jedi powers?” She replied more as a challenge.

“I don’t need the force to tell something is wrong now please talk to me.”

“Nothing…” she said with a pause this time

Im not going to get anything from her am I?He thought to himself.

“Nothing, except for the fact that we still haven’t found a base! lothal is still under siege and I just got word from fulcrum that ry-!” Her tone was rising as she spoke ending her rant with a growl as soon as she said ry- cutting herself off.He has never really heard her mention anything about her her home or her past if that was even relevant.

“This galaxy has gone to the wolves.Im going to bed.”she was about to head up the cockpit ladder when Kanan gently took her arm and rubbed his thumb over it.

“That never stopped you before, it never stopped us before.”

“Kanan thats sweet but not now I-“ and suddenly she was transported back to ryloth.Her father Cham had gotten badly injured in a battle, so much so that they weren’t sure if he would recover.Hera couldn’t even bear to visit him in the medwing, that is until Elani said those magical words. “Nothing can stop us Hera nothing , and you shouldn’t let anything keep you from your family.Your father needs you right now.” And suddenly she was little Hera again.Little Hera who was afraid.Who missed her loving mother and father and her eyes starting to mist and as she broke into a sob and fell into her jedi’s arms.

“Shh.” He rubbed her back softly.

“Today w-was the anniversary of my moms death!It was the day everything went wrong! And my father.I keep getting news of Ryloth! My people are enslaved and the war takes more and more from us! And Im watching my father spiral and I can’t go back-I don’t want to but ugh!” She shouts with angry tears,she starts tugging at her montrails.Kanan squeezes her tighter.

“Hera I don’t know what to say.” He rubs her back again quietly.

“This was the one day where we could patch things up.The anniversary of her death.We argued but we came together and thats all gone.I miss my mother.I miss my father.” Her Twi’lek accent was peaking.

“Hera we will get through this.” He responded now with a smile.

“Sometimes Im not so sure.” She responds with a grim chuckle.

“You taught me the power hope when I forgot it.When I was trapped in the drunk darkness, and because I feel it.

“In the force?” Hera asked.

“In you.” He said kissing her forehead gently.

Thank you guys so much for the support it gave me so much motivation to continue writing and slowly I will reveal more of the backstory.🥰.Don’t worry my OC backstory is plenty tragic and if anyone hasn’t seen it yet check it out in still tweaking it and looking for feedback.I decided to do something a little but different since Kanera is the current winner and I lack patience. (There is some Rebel Captain art in the works.) anyway I wrote this myself and I hope you like it.
