11.

your use of the period at the end frightened me a little i cannot lie 😂

11. number of fandom-related words you've filtered

oh gosh, too many too count. if i'm not interested in something and it keeps cropping up on my dash, i filter it just as i would something i deeply dislike. so there are tons and tons of tags that i have filtered. within the 911 fandom, the only tags i have filtered are all the ones pertaining to BT, though

🤩 - Should Karlnapity be endgame?

... [explodes, sets everything on fire, throws glitter in your eyes]

that's your answer

[flamedoesart]

🚀

🚀 - which characters should wrap up their story soon?

Saying "all of them" is kinda dumb bc there are characters who technically still need to do lore (like Karl and Quackity for example.)

so i'll say Tommy, Wilbur (although he's already planning on it), Tubbo, Jack, Niki, Phil, and (if he's not gonna do anything w his character) than also Ranboo.

omg hiiii 🗡 and 💜 and also 🛸 smile

🗡 - are the eggpire responsible for their actions under the egg’s control? No?????????? Is this a genuine thing people think????? Like. Okay so the people that they hurt are allowed to be angry at them, that's the first thing that I want to address. Them not being responsible for their actions does not mean that they cannot be despised for what they did under the egg's influence. However, and this is a BIG however! When we put the obvious victims aside, the members of the eggpire were still very much victims as well!!!! Like, it's unknown how much of their actions were mind control, but even on the extremely conservative scale they were still being heavily manipulated if not downright controlled. And so while people like Foolish and Puffy are justified if they want to hold a grudge, it does not mean that people like Ponk and Hannah weren't also hurt. 💜 - is c!purpled inherently bad, or just a product of his environment? GGGGG OKAY I COULD GO ON ABOUT THIS FOR DAYS ON END BUT! So the question obviously is referring to the environment of the dream smp, which I don't think I feel like is responsible for purpled being how he is? He very much was Like That from the first day he arrived on the server. HOWEVER, if you know anything about me you will know that I take Count the People as my holy gospel - it's incredible, if you haven't read it you NEED to go do that, etc. But, so, in the way that this question is intending to ask? No, Purpled is NOT the product of his environment if we say that environment is the Dream SMP. However if we expand that environment to include Hypixel? Then he is just a product of his environment. Also standard disclaimer that I'm aware that headcanons don't equal canon, it's just that if it wasn't hypixel I highly believe that Some kind of big traumatizing event happened to make Purpled Like That because he's not an inherently harsh person, we see that with dogchamp and we see that with his (admittedly brief) friendships with other people on the SMP. 🛸 - should c!purpled have kept things between himself and c!quackity, and not involved c!slime? So if you read my previous answer, it's obvious that I love cpurpled. However, murder is uh. Not justified. Granted neither was blowing up the UFO peace and love. But yeah no Purpled was definitely in the wrong for killing an innocent third party.

gonna take the sexy big brain route and discourse About your ask game: "was techno justified in executing tubbo?" is a bad question because it implies that it was something he planned for and intended to do. a better question would be "did techno make the right moral choice at tubbo's execution?" or "did techno make the right tactical choice?" he made the right tactical choice for pogtopia, so it's no wonder he regrets it now. he could not have fought his way out and i can explain in new ask

Not to be like you've activated my trap card but... yeah the phrasing is entirely intentional. I tried to word the questions as devisively and non nuanced as possible as a way to get people thinking I guess? Because you're right, there were extenuating circumstances, which makes this question hard to answer in a yes or no format. If you're forced to pick a harsh side, it's way easier to see the pros the other side has to offer ya know? I think the current discourse environment it divisive and that causes people to draw harsh lines and dig in their heels, which oin all honesty isn't a productive way to communicate ideas. So, I'm trying to like reverse psychology people into having nuance in a way, no idea if it'll be effective but that's the goal 😆 Good job on spotting that so quickly though! I'm glad in a weird way that means I succeeded at my goal lol

dream has a pretty decent range from what we've heard of him (including his little bits singing on streams), and i think if he was interested in doing vocal training, he would be able to be like a proper musician. he doesn't know a lot about music though, which probably contributes to why his songs are kind of like that (pretty original, but also clearly youtuber music)

wilbur doesn't have the biggest range, but for a non-formally educated musician, he knows a lot about music. you can sort of hear him strain his voice when he tries to sing higher or lower, but he plays guitar and knows about music theory. he can write music pretty well, but it has a very specific area that it goes in, and you can definitely see the inspirations that he takes pretty clearly

ah okay! to be honest I. dont know that much about music, but yeah this makes sense!

yeah, i think i agree w you here. dream definitely has a v good voice- and you can hear it really well in change my clothes. that song works rlly well cause hes working w alec on it! wilbur definitely sticks to a certain area in his music! theyre both good in their own ways :]

Etta and Elsie discourse? 👀👀👀

yesssssssss you’re so good to me, thank you! hope these are good 

etta: (I already did her but not to fear, I’m always down for spilling more of this piping hot tea lol)

Carlisle and Esme being casual platonic/romantic partners is just a cheap excuse for Etta to not be a homewrecker. there’s absolutely no worth in the idea that vampires would have different values and feelings in relationships

the moment Etta proved she knew their secrets the Cullens would’ve killed her, them not doing that is flimsy plot armor 

she’s just a boring OP mess

knowing she would drink human blood if she were a vampire makes her an irredeemable monster

Etta not appreciating Renee and knowing she’s a flake makes her an ungrateful bitch

Etta went to that party and worried Charlie even though she’s really an adult in mind and that makes her cruel and means she doesn’t care about Charlie

elsie:

if she just kept her nose out of buffy’s business she wouldn’t have died, she should’ve known better (despite the fact she didn’t know anything to know better about)

liking/respecting cordelia in season 1 means elsie is just a vapid bitch

the fact that elsie didn’t know about the slayer stuff at all means she’s an idiot because she didn’t pick up on it

the master planning to use elsie to hurt buffy is an unnecessarily convoluted plan and just makes elsie a mary sue

the plot with her soul and the vampire demon is complete nonsense, tying back to the mary sue thing

the fact that elsie changes and loses her conscience and drinks human blood on a regular basis makes her irredeemable, buffy should have staked her

giles feeling guilty about elsie being turned is just unfair giles-whump

the fact that elsie has her own focus/subplots away from buffy and the scoobies means she’s selfish

elsie is a completely useless character and does nothing to advance buffy’s growth

SEND ME ONE OF MY OCS AND I’LL TELL YOU WHAT THE FANDOM WANK/DISCOURSE WOULD BE IF THEY WERE CANON

[ask-the-tiger-cub]

Discourse over what her religion is and what that means for her character and all that jazz

ISKJDB ANON I’D FUKIN DIE!! Quartz’s relationship with religion has been already fully planned out and i can already say, it’s not that Deep. not to mention, it’s also loosely based on my own experiences so if Discourse would really go down about that it’d be personal like Yikes!

1 and 16!

i'll try to answer this about the rookie since ik you don't watch 911! also how do you even continue to follow me with my continuous spam of 911 posts i'm so sorry

the character everyone gets wrong

i haven't read a lot of chenford fics but quite a few of them seem to get lucy wrong so that's something i raise an eyebrow at. then again, she's my favorite so maybe i'm just sensitive in that regard lol

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

this is so silly but i've seen a lot of chenford fics where tim is more dominant in the bedroom i'm sorry but no, you can't convince me that lucy isn't bossy af in bed 😂 tim totally loves it when she takes control and i stand by that

[theartofslime]

👻 for the discourse thingy?

👻 - should c!schlatt be revived?

On the one hand yes it'd be funny

On the other hand no there's no point fr

[flamedoesart]

💥

💥 - should c!niki apologize to c!clingyduo?

Yep, she definitely should.

If not to c!tubbo than Definitely to c!tommy.

On top of trying to kill c!tommy, she also enabled and aided in c!dream's escape. Her conflicted feelings is irrelevant, she still helped.

She could've openly protested this at any time, but didn't. and it's not like she and c!dream are on neutral terms either, she was a member of OG L'manburg, she knows damn well how dangerous he is, even Without the knowledge of Exile.

she owes c!tommy a lot, is what I am tryna say.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

i already answered this, but here's another one: the common opinion that eddie is terrible with his words/expressing himself through words is...just not true. he's literally dropped some of the most exquisite and heartfelt quotes on the show. there's no one in this world i trust with my son more than you. you act like you're expendable, but you're wrong. you're not like any other kid, you're my kid. i love you more than anything in the world. give the man credit!
