[my-castles-crumbling]

hey cas hope youre having a good holiday season

im kind of struggling with how my life is going and i just need to tell someone and you genuinely are like a big sibling to me

so to start im 17 and homeschooled in a conservative christian household im also genderfluid and either pan or omni im not sure on that part yet

i have two brothers and both parents. my parents have made it very clear that if youre trans your faking it and if you are gay its a choice.

i found out that my older brother is both homophobic and racist while discusing the live action how to train your dragon movie he said and i quote " i just dont see why they have to insert their lgbtois agenda" the subject of queer people was never mentoned so i asked him what that had to do with the actresses skin color and he responded with "the b in lgbtq stands for black" i said no it stands for bisexual and he responded with "how do you know?" i said it was common knowledge and he still went on about character designs and how a character looks reflects who they are

i really want to tell my family that im part of the community they think is so wrong but i dont know what will happen

conversion therapy has been my bigest fear ever since i figured out who i was its illegal in my state but its not in the state next to mine and that state is within driving distance and i know that if my parents really thing it will be best for me they wont hesitate to send me

my dad said he wants me to always be honest with him about what i believe even if he doesnt agree but i really dont know if thats true and i feel stuck because im surrounded by christians who all preach no judgement but then i watch as they ruthlessly judge others without knowing anything about that person

sorry if this was too long but i needed to tell somebody before i burst

Hi!

I'm so sorry your family is like this. It's an awful thing to deal with <3

I think if there's any fear for your safety (I.e. conversion camp) you should wait to tell them until you're of legal age. I know it's absolutely horrible to think about hiding a huge part of you, but when your safety is an issue, it's much better to wait. Instead, could you find a support system outside of them? Maybe some supportive friends or adults at school?

I know it's hard to deal with bigoted family, but focus on your safety until you're 18. Then you can start to try to express yourself more <3

My wife has named you eggshell anon

hiya ! not sure if you do rarepairs, but can i please request a wallter x pest doodle? it can be platonic or romantic, ill literally be happy with anything of them . . (not forcing, of course!)

puddy i'll do anything in terms of ships. there are no rules..... muahahaha..... this ship is actually pretty cute they're quite silly. look at pest... happy... moisturized.. in his lane..... cozy... stealing... wallter gets it all back at the end of the day anyway, but pest makes it seem like a gift x3c

[vanmarkus]

Ohhh I'm sorry, I had no idea! I thought I remembered you talking about a things happening bingo but maybe you were kidding lol I do like a little bit of spec but not in a "this will 100% happen" kind of way because it's impossible to guess at this point

mm i did make a s7 bingo for funsies — that i didn't end up posting cuz it was more fun making it than actually thinking/talking about it lmao

like, sure, i have my ideas about what's gonna happen and i do shitpost on occasion but like serious spec yk? when people genuinely believe there is a shot in hell and write up elaborate posts about what's gonna happen (sometimes in very certain terms)

i just saw too many people become bitter when they ended up being wrong, even if the theories initially started out as spoofs and in the current climate of this fandom... feels a bit like fuel to the fire tbh

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

Honestly, I never meant to you to feel this way. I just wanna say sorry for ever hurting you ♥️ (/genuine)

you’re a liar and i hate you

your comment about making me feel physically ill was sarcastic as fuck, you specifically keep evading my attempts to block you, and you have shown to be keeping track of this, as shown by your previous ask questioning me on if i am going to block every new follower i get

if you were sorry, i wouldn’t be responding to you again, and you would’ve fucked off after the first few asks

this is the last response i’m giving you

[raven]

this is a screenshot so i can block this person. basically shut up. I think this can a problem in trans spaces (mostly among white anime fans) but it's not confined to them like anon is saying, and speaking like this is frankly disgusting. and it makes it hard to confront the actual problem, which is of women participating in their own sexualization, bc anon doesnt see trans women as women. and you also need to factor in race and note that east asian women, especially trans women are more affected by this. anon is ignoring larger implications and issues in order to hate on trans women. and all this being said, i have more sympathy for a trans woman who hasnt deeply investigated misogyny yet for whatever reason, than a person like this anon who talks about lesbians as if theyre mutually exclusive from trans women. just take your mask off and say "real lesbians", we all know that's what you mean

[which-item-poll]

I have a question! And I am so sorry if this comes off as sounding rude at all, I'm just asking out of curiosity. How do we know if we get chosen for being a mod?

If you get accepted I will message you on my main account @moonlightaugust!

I haven't accepted any new mods recently because I've been losing motivation for this blog a little hhhhh

[kenzan-kiwami]

same anon as before here. i find it refreshing that other people out there are willing to say out loud that all the kazumaji gets super tiresome. i enjoy majima a lot but find kazumaji totally overrated and so it is not fun out here lol. especially because the way fandom portrays the ship is almost never true to the characters at all (gaa gaa eyes, as you say). replaying the games is a good idea tho. i did that and my enjoyment for majima (and my other favorite side characters!) came back once i remembered what he was really like outside of fandom.

oh no yeah i totally get you 😭 i feel blessed to have known people from when i first got into the series who are as Over It as i am, but it still gets so lonely out here sometimes. i have some doodles and video projects i'd like to at least try to do at some point but i'm definitely going to replay y0 soonish (after gaiden maybe?) because it's been FOREVER and i'd like to have it fresher in my mind haha

dead souls is also a brilliant game for majima, people cry for a majima game all the time but i'm like dude we already have dead souls? he's in his fucking element throughout his entire gameplay segment, don't just ignore it because it has objectively terrible gameplay for the sole reason of "they tried to make a third-person shooter inside a brawler game"

[shinozaki-ayumi]

i love the block button

[real-reulbbr-band]

Tuggoffelees or mistocavity for the ship meme?

content warning for the ships stated apply here.

I'll hold your hand through this because I know people on the Cats Tumblr can be very strict about shipping Mac with anyone other than Bomb or Dem. I just want to share my thoughts on the ship, nothing more. Okay?

(Also, sorry if I come across as harsh; I'm just very opinionated about this.)

Tuggoffelees

They could never make me hate you!!!

I enjoy most interpretations of their relationship and am not particularly picky about them. Sometimes, I like to see them as exes, other times as playful friends, but my favorite version is always the revival and how much they care about each other.

about not highlighting the fanon discussion, I feel like I see more complaints about "fanon" (which hasn't been a major issue since 2016) than the actual bad fanon itself. That's just my perspective. I'm not saying we need a new topic, but it does feel a bit repetitive. Also, people seem a bit too comfortable hating on Tuggoff when discussing their ships and it does annoy me a little.

Mistocavity

I know some people might dislike me for even considering this, but I want to clarify that I don't really "ship" them. I remember being curious about their tag earlier in the fandom, and honestly, I really enjoyed the content I found.

I think I like the idea of an AU where Misto is a double agent working for Macavity, and Macavity somewhat respects him. As unlikely as that is, given Macavity's toxic and jealous nature, it's an interesting concept to explore.

My main interest is in seeing them interact, maybe before Macavity left the Jellicles, just to see what they would talk about. That's all I'm interested in saying though.

I think you should be made aware that theres a minidrama on twitter claiming Shiver fans to be racist. Which...some might be. My mutual in law got DOGGED recently and i saw all of it (all they did was make a lil joke i think

so i’ve heard… :( the entire situation is terrible , honestly. i’m not big into splatoon but i am a brown person, and seeing the infighting between fans about the racism and colorism in the fanbase is. stressful, to put it VERY lightly

i’m very sorry to hear what happened to your mutual-in-law. the recent splatfest has a LOT of people agitated. thankfully nobody has been rude to me yet, but knowing the internet (and how things are going right now) who knows how long that’ll last

[definitelynotshouting]

Glad you like the art! It was between hungerAU and watermelon scene… I just really didn’t want to draw more hands and food lol

I’ll admit to being the eggshell anon from some time ago. No, not a bird. Yes, I was absolutely shitting around- I don’t even enjoy eggs by themselves XD

I love the art king holy shit its gorgeous, im so obsessed with how much emotion you conveyed with the curve of his back, im SO,,, [insert floorbang emoji here] this shit has me eating CONCRETE i am gently chewing on your art style its so lovely

ALSO HELLO THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED..... i was legit so torn between "there is NO WAY this can be real" and "OKAY BUT IF IT IS. I GOTTA KNOW MORE" WKDNWNDNJWNSNS 😂😂😂😂😂 that was truly such an insane-feeling night i loved every minute of it

[sakura-code]

For the Dual Swords AU I remember on your 2nd post on the Dual Swords AU tag was that there would be a UNDERGROUND CITY OMG because of the absolute corruption running deeper than in the original. And that peacekeepers go down there— down where? Where would the entrance be to the underground city.... and probably, most definitely "keep the bad out" KILL I MEAN

And regarding their uniform... does that mean Yuma is boyish kinda guy with those shorts and stockings? Because Makoto changed his to trousers so it's clear they have a choice on what they want to wear in their uniform or not— does that mean Yuma is for that boyish style?!?!? 🫣 also hello! I'm back again after months Probs :3

Oh yeah, the corruption is far worse than in-game. As Shinigami has stated in Chapter 5, “if Yomi was the CEO, the city would be in much worse shape.” And I actually had a discussion with one of the Rain Code community members during their Chapter 5 second playthrough that if Yomi was in charge of Kanai Ward, there would be more Mystery Labyrinths than in-game. Which means more criminals and murderers out and about in the city. Basically making Kanai Ward more Gotham City than a dystopian London-Cyberpunk hybrid city (basing off the inspirations Kodaka has mentioned when he made Kanai Ward). Good for Yomi since he can use the many dead bodies to benefit his connection with the Unified Government, and make the Peacekeepers look like Kanai Ward’s protectors. Though he has to try to manage the criminal activities and murders, or otherwise he would be out of citizens to rule over.

To answer your questions, the first one is that it would technically be more of a mix between living in the Riverbank, the sewers, and the Dohya District (it’s not a large area, but it’s something at least for them). The term “underground city” can kind of be referred to more as both a literal and a figurative term used.

For your second question, yeah, the Peacekeepers would go down to the Underground City to make sure none of the criminals or rebels try to taint their city, as Yomi would put it. The scenes that would play out would kind of be like a book I read where a group of police force/heroes would go down to the slums and harass the people there to keep them in their places (and being arrogant about it because they have the power to do so without consequences and still be looked at as the heroes). It’s why Shachi leans even more into not using violence because it’s clear it would give Amaterasu the reason to attack the entire Slums, but also much more cautious.

As for the last question, yes that’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw Makoto’s designs back then. I thought he was wearing trousers as well (kind of similar to his suit) so I thought it would be a good way to differentiate the two and give them personal touches. Since I imagine Makoto would absolutely want to make sure there is differences between the two brothers.

[bookofmirth]

I agree with your post on Az and Mor. I think the way Sarah will spin it is that he was in love with her before but at some point he just started using her as an emotional crutch. And if neither of them addresses the situation, then he can just keep hoping for a bond and not actually have to face rejection.

Thanks friend! It just makes sense. The alternative is that he's a complete moron, and that could be the route sjm is going, but I have more faith in her than that. She plays fast and loose with a lot of things, but emotions/characterization I'd say are a strength of hers.

And I totally agree that he was using his attraction to her as an excuse to not go for anyone and get rejected - and in fact, that theory only works if he knows, on some level, that Mor is never going to say yes. But if he doesn't move on, he doesn't have to put himself out there for anyone else and face rejection with them, too.

That would also explain why he has never made a move. All this talk about why doesn't Mor put him out of his misery blah blah blah - idk, why doesn't he ever put on his big boy pants and tell her how he actually feels, since he's just as capable and it's his feelings on the line, not hers? If he knows she's not interested, he knows it's pointless, and that's why he hasn't bothered. But like I said before, emotions don't listen to reason.

Listen. If he never tries, he never has to hear "no". If she never says "no", she never has to have that uncomfortable conversation. It's messy, but so are feelings!

And tbh the main thing that needs to happen is that Azriel needs to work through his sense of inferiority and stop taking it out on the people around him. If all your friends are walking on eggshells with you, that's a bad, bad sign.

yeah most bi women i know are nice/kind and fun to hang out with but not even one of them takes relztives with women seriously. they all act lile ut’s a reprieve from exbfs and they’re not willing to put zd mich effort in. like they will do anything for z guy but women get their mow effort hugh expectations version.

i couldn’t date most bi women because i don’t wznt to like hear about all the wild shit she did with some guy before she settled for me as a sade option basically because that’s how all the bi women i know have talked about their gfs.

it's the truth. they don't as a majority really value, appreciate or see women as romantic partners or respect them as they do men. it has to do with the homophobia and misogyny they will never unpack or be accountable for yet still will feel entitled to lesbians body, time, attention, and effort. or proceed to pretend they were serious or could have been with women for attention and validation after they find that perfect bare minimum male when they treated women like crap or as temp. and yup they always never shut up about men they date or have sex with in detail even when you tell them to stop imo. and imo some don't think cheating on women is even cheating bc they're with a woman and not a man :/

[cerosin-bis]

Not the same anon but i don't really think people should read into his "statement" or whatever too deeply, if i recall he just expressed his opinion on when he was asked what Ghost and Soap's ideal date would be like hence his reply. Also fr Ghost being married would make no sense and everything his character stands for both in OG and reboot so idk where this is coming from lol it's simply not what CoD is about at the end of the day and i don't think his opinion has any hidden meaning behind it, just pretty straight forward is all anyways sorry to bring this into your ask Cero, it's prolly not what you are on about lol

no it is mostly what I meant too! I just took a random example with saying ghost being married, which was effectively """contradictory""" to Samuel's statement (which is purposefully vague) and my own headcanon.

but like my point on the subject is that people should feel free to headcanon whatever they want whether it aligns with canon or not. eat what you like and don't shit in other people's plates even if it seems out of character or whatever. they're pixels in a screen. Create things that bring you joy. the end

[dustofthedailylife]

in regards to your shipping question:

i’ve always seen it as a mix of both — people who love to ship in general and are very for shipping characters, but that also includes problematic ships. like they’ll ship anyone and everyone whether it’s problematic or not

Okay going by that I definitely would not be pro-ship.

Because, I have a really "whatever" attitude towards shipping as long it's not problematic.

Like just as an example: some people may like Cynonari others may like Haino. And I'm just here like... yeah whatever, if it makes you happy you do you, it's two adult characters. No matter if that would align with my personal ship, because they're fictional so why would I care about something like a "relationship" between two fictional characters as if my life depended on it that everyone likes them, too?? 💀🤷🏻‍♀️

In general just don't care if people ship or not. I have a very select few genshin characters I'd like the idea of but I would not obsess over details. Whether there are "hints" or "canon" stuff you could read into it, idc. It's also always adult characters.

In general, I'm just not hardcore into shipping because I'm very indifferent about it. I may like the idea of two characters but at the end of the day, I don't care what other people ship these characters with (again... as long as it's not problematic). Because of that, I'm actually not sure I'd even call myself a shipper because I have maybe... two ships I ever liked.

I always kind of preferred the self-ship/reader-insert side more because it's way less toxic and we can all simp together without fighting 😎😂

So overall my TLDR: Shipping is complicated and confusing. I'm staying in my cushy corner of the internet.
