Hi there - I really hope this isn’t overstepping but I noticed your posted recently about how putting ‘not bait :)’ at the end of obvious baits isn’t convincing. I submitted an ask about Latula recently because I was kind of curious and I haven’t seen all that much discussion of her character - particularly negatively - and I honestly would love some more character critiques for the ancestors. I really hope you didn’t think that was meant to be some kind of trap - I struggle with tone sometimes and I’m autistic so I might’ve just phrased it badly but I hope it didn’t upset you!! I’d come off anon but I Am. Anxious. Sorry. Either way, I just wanted to make it clear that that particular ask was in good faith, I’m really sorry if it wasn’t written right. I like your blog but I rarely interact with strangers, and I don’t think I’m great at it. Anyway, sorry, have a good day :)

dw, that wasn’t about you! it was about a different ask i got (i think your original ask actually got eaten by tumblr bc i can’t find it in my inbox…very functional website we have here :/)

anyways, to answer your question…i guess it’s not really so much about latula as a character as it is about the insane mischaracterization of mituna that tends to crop up in latula-centric fan content

a lot of times people (not everyone obviously) will have her basically act as mituna’s mom and treat him as if he’s completely incapable of doing anything himself which is yknow. pretty fucking ableist

again, not everyone does this but it happens frequently enough that i’ve just sort of developed an instinctual negative response to her and especially to the mituna x latula ship

hope this explanation makes sense and sorry for not responding sooner, i’m pretty tired atm

hot take, genklint (and genklintville) sucks as ships and does their characters a HUGE disservice and actively makes them less interesting, especially since both men are defined by their families rather than their friendship. genshin did kill klint out of honor, but both mens families impact the game and story more than that one single moment. that moment wouldnt have been so impactful if they had no families, thats what makes it so horribly tragic. lbr, people dont care about lady baskerville like they do genshin and klint— she's just an afterthought of "oh shes here too i guess". cowards...

Strongly agree | Agree | Neutral | Disagree | Strongly disagree

So I will admit that I'm not much of a Genk/int girlie, and I'm even less a Genk/intvi//e girlie (censoring these so they don't show up in the tags), so I do hope that this won't come off as super salty/mean. I do try to keep myself from saying that certain ships suck bc I know what it's like to be on the other side of that. That being said, I definitely see why Genk/int is so popular, it's very homoerotic to duel to the death to save your bff's honor, and tbh, Lady B really is kind of a lamp in this story (she doesn't even have a name!). If there's anything I'm still really salty about in the games is that Lady B really is treated like an afterthought to the point where she doesn't even have a name, despite being one of the main characters' mother! This could easily be explained as part of the sort of rushed nature of production since DGS 1 wasn't as big a success as it could have been, and the fact that Takushu had to cut the games down significantly, but that's a rant for another day. I do think that as a ship Genk/int could easily provide another layer of tragedy and angst, this sort of illicit affair that could prove disastrous should their loved ones find out, these paragons of honor and loyalty proving that they are human after all, flaws and imperfections and all that comes with it. I guess that's one aspect that makes the ship interesting to me, that telenovela shit XD As for your Genk/intvi//e analysis, I definitely agree there, she really does feel kind of like a third wheel and is sort of tacked on at the last minute. And I do say this as someone who really likes making ocs and filling in the blanks, but at the end of the day, there is only so much you can do with a character that is just a lamp before you just get to straight up oc territory (not that that's a bad thing, it's always really fun to see different interpretations on Lady B!)

I think ppl who genuinely defend Sam do a lil bit too much. "Stop demonizing him he has mental issues" or smth like no he stabbed his best friend

I'm sorry, but there was never a time when Healy was a good or likeable person. He was a bigoted misogynist with a savior complex who controlled and took advantage of women in a worse position than himself. Even with his wife, he went out of his way to find someone who would need him. Who he felt owed him.

No i don't want to follow the Burgerpants tag I want to push Burgerpants down the stairs

[how2spell-sandwhich]

Give us your Burgerpants takes

i don’t like him very much :( the way he talks about bratty, catty, mettaton (it’s very valid to dislike or hate your employer, a lot of employers are oppressive and horrible people, but all the other employees think mettaton is he best ever so it’s kind of odd for him to be this upset about it since mettaton does not have a track record for abusing employees and is very well known for treating them very, very well) pretty people in general, women… the world? rubs me the wrong way

[genlossranbooautism]

You use "arospec people can still date and feel romantic attraction " as an excuse to ship cannon aro characters , I use it as justification to headcannon characters who canonically feel romantic attraction as arospec , we are not the same

[cringefaecompilation]

me when i have to block the laudna tag because the delilah stannies that unironically think she had "wasted potential in canon" are going to be fucking obnoxious about how much delilah "loved" laudna when her book drops

[phantomrose96]

She’s cooking

[etoilesbienne]

It’s so crazy like. This man took care of your kids and made sure they didn’t die for months on end solely out of love and you want your kids to die just to spite him 😭

id say something douchey back about how maybe he doesn't deserve those kids but knowing the damn fandom war going on rn i feel like people are going to take it as me being a whiny blue team fan ... sorry ive had to watch bbh of all people talk about wanting to quit the event every day this week im just tired. literally like this isn't fun these aren't like... fun character spirals... its just people being miserable assholes in a boring ass way

[ask-codeearasure]

Don't you hide these from me....

Okay no but Wick deadass the LVL. 20 Cross and Dream spectacle once again applies to my earlier point on heteronormative standards being pushed onto queer shipping. The "woman" of the relationship (being Dream in this case) is the weaker, subservient caretaker and fucktoy of the stronger, dominant, aggressive male "protector" (LVL. 20 Cross) of their entire relationship.

Once again, people in this fandom can't stand to not be homophobic for five minutes, especially with their big dick Cross fantasies with a twisted perception of how trauma works.

Like oh yes. His trauma from merking his entire family off the census made him a feral hypersexual animal at least twice the size he was originally. This totally isn't an unspoken theory of thought on trauma survivors who just so happened to develop aggression and hypersexuality following intense abuse.

And perhaps that last part was unintentional. If anything I hope that was. I doubt messages like that written into characters are ever intentional unless the author is fucking J. K. Rowling. But either way it's a genuinely fucking disgusting message to send to one's following and I hope this theory of mine is wrong. I would like to be incorrect in this instance.

The characterization isn't even Cross himself anymore. I'm convinced he's like if a fusion of Bojack Horseman and the fandom's several years of slander about Underlust cosplayed his likeness for way too long.

And poor Dream too. He's never fucking treated as an actual person in most, if not all of his ships (particularly on ao3). He's treated as a side-piece at best and an object stripped of all autonomy at worst. Whatever strength and possibility of pulling the story he actually has is blatantly ignored in favor of raising up the people he's shoved into a relationship with.

lvl20 cross is my no.1 enemy btw. if i see him there will be an unspecified lethal weapon in my paws and it will be pointed in his general location

For that Choose Violence ask game: 4, 7, and 25

4- what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

Honestly, if I ever see someone say anything about "kill yourself" or "x should Kill themselves" it's an immediate block, even if we've been friends for years. That's a line no one should ever cross 7- what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

I've already said Kazuma, so I won't cheat again. Hugh O'Connor. I just think the people who are obsessed with him are exhausting, idk why, I just was annoyed by him and then was soured because there was this annoying bot on twitter that was Hugh O'Connor that always posted "I hope aatwt doesn't see me without my glasses" that was a huge spam thing 25- common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

"anyone who ships x is delusional!!!" "I can't believe I have to tag don't tag as X" "People seriously ship x??" yes, yes they do, it's the internet, people will ship something, you might find it gross and distasteful, but it exists, you cannot control other people. block tags and if people won't tag, block them, it's not that hard
