unpopular opinion but those white eye symbol whatevers (they DESPERATELY need a redesign. it so ugly) honestly have kind of a point. apparently the council just made that weird human horse girl part of the nobility—part of a totally new program? so we’re just trusting our world to a group of kids? they’re doing that publicly?

every single explanation for why mikey wasn't decrepit but was covered in blood is insane like

he's a vampire and is draining the other three of youth

it was for his own safety. if he went on stage in all his 2005 scene queen half of jersey all of warped tour glory the seismic shockwave of two dozen nostalgia bait emo bandman dissolving their marriages for a chance with that sopping wet twink would have levelled nevada

bad ending where instead of the band breaking up and mikey getting help they drag the band's shambling corpse around until mikey dies young. pulling back the curtains on how unhappy and unhealthy they all were during the era that wwwyf is trying to capitalize off. you want us to keeping going back to 2005 for the sake of your nostalgia? okay mikey's fucking dead now (makes me unbelievably upset to consider but exactly the kind of shit they'd pull)

he died in normandy

Representation vs. Appropriation

When I made a tumblr blog post pointing out that the character creator in Baldur’s Gate 3 included culturally appropriative face tattoos, lot of people decided to bend over backwards to defend this. Excuses I have found while giving my blocking finger a routine work-out thus far have ranged from “Larian Studios is European so they don’t know any better”, to a classic “it’s just a fantasy game, stop being so oversensitive”. But by far the most common poor reaction was, “what if it’s representation?”

Now, two Māori people were quick to jump into this post and say themselves, clear as day, that this is not representation, it is appropriation. That should be enough right there—settlers do not get to decide what is and isn’t representation for us Indigenous folks. But white people not listening to Indigenous voices is nothing new. I’ve been forced to learn that if you want to be taken seriously by settlers, your best chance is to coddle and appease their poor little delicate feelings. So, let’s pretend for a second that these “what if it’s representation?” questions are actually asked in good, albeit ignorant faith, and not just a pathetic gut-reaction to avoid having to critically think about a beloved game. (Which, by the way, I still overall adore myself, mind you.) Let’s pretend they actually want an answer, and give it to them.

It’s very easy to list the examples of positive Indigenous representation I’ve personally experienced in video games, not made by Indigenous folks ourselves, because there’s only one game that comes to mind: Assassin’s Creed 3. The protagonist of AC3 is Ratonhnhaké:ton of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka people. Ubisoft is a terrible company for other reasons, but they did one thing right in the development of this game: They hired a cultural consultant, Thomas Deer. Deer was able to guide them through avoiding offensiveness and stereotypes, and include proper cultural touchstones that Indigenous players, especially Mohawk players, would want to see. For example, Ubisoft originally wanted to include sacred ceremonial masks in the game, but Deer told them that depictions of these masks would be taboo. He also helped them choose what clothing and jewellery was authentic to the Nation. This, among much more, helped create a truly representative experience. What makes it representation is that it features an Indigenous character in a positive way, without crossing lines into what should not be touched by outsiders. But had Ubisoft decided to ignore Deer’s consultation and go ahead with using those sacred masks… that would have been cultural appropriation.

Cultural appropriation is taking a closed cultural practice and using it yourself, despite not belonging to the culture it comes from. The key word there is closed, as in, something not for outsiders to touch. Eating frybread is not cultural appropriation, because it’s something freely shared by Natives to others. But wearing a fake headdress to your local musical festival is cultural appropriation, because headdresses are sacred regalia not freely shared by Natives to others. It really is that simple: just listen to boundaries set by the People.

“But my fake headdress is just clothing.” “But a fake kakiniit is just ink.” “But my fake totem pole is just decoration.” Except not, and the very fact that you have no respect for the history and meaning behind these things is the perfect example as to why they are not for you. But being told something isn’t for them has always been a hard a pill for settlers to swallow.

The phrase “nothing about us without us” is often used when advocating for rights and respect of minorities. It was first brought into English vocabulary by South Africa’s disability activism in the 1990’s, and has since been adapted across the world as a slogan to mean uplifting voices of the people you claim to want to help, instead of speaking over them. I personally first heard it through EDIRA work (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Reconciliation and Accessibility) at my job, and I feel like it can be applied in many different ways, this being one of them. The best representation comes from listening to the people you want to represent. Had Larian done that, they would have known that imitating those tattoos was off limits. But since they didn’t, they took what wasn’t theirs to take. And that’s appropriation.

Tumblr in the Star Trek universe: part 6

@fake-post-archive

Was dissapointed by the lack of 23rd-24th century contemporary media shown in Star Trek so I made my own for these characters to get invested in.

the "crimedirective" account is my OC, Tenfold Pollux. My OC content is archived at @uss-sonder. Their post is based on a meme I drew.

saltnsugarbear's 200 follower banquet!

omg hello! hi hello!

we've made it to 200!! this is very, very exciting and I'm a bit more organized this time! below you will find the details of the celebration and rules and some more thanks!

Some rules before we begin!

-- This event will take place between November 14th all the way to November 22nd!

-- Meaning! From 12am November 14th to 1159pm November 22nd you can send anything from the list below!

-- I ask that you include a prompt paired with a character from my x reader list, if no character or prompt are paired your ask will deleted for maximum organization on my end!

-- try as I might, I looked over the lists and attempted to pick some that didn't have stuff I'm not into. However, if I managed to miss one, I will communicate that it's not something I vibe with and will ask for you to submit a new prompt!

-- I think this is everything?

-- Like everything else, I ask for some patience!

Here are the prompt lists!

You can pick from the family friendly lists; fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, new relationship or secret pining!

Or you can choose from the smut selection; inexperienced, "just like that", guided, list 1 or list 2!

Don't want to do a prompt? That's okay! I've got two games going on!

-- the fruit game where you ask me about writing!

or

-- the emoji game where you can learn more about me!

Don't want to play a game or send a prompt? That's okay! here's some other options for you:

-- send a 📸 and a character from the x reader list or my dynamic list and I can make you up a moodboard!

-- send a 🎧 and I'll tell you what I'm listening to/listened to last!

-- send one of these 📻, and i will give you a song i think suits you or your blog!

(moodboard idea from Mouse <3)

And now, for the thank you part of the post! (you guys already saw this and don't need to read it but I'm keeping it here)

-- Once again, just the biggest thank you to Olive, who continues to be,,, honestly just my biggest supporter and I could not ask for a better person to have in my corner of bearblr. I love sending sneak peeks to you and my posts wouldn't be half of what they are without you inspiring me. You are the original babygirl and I love you soso much

-- To Maggie who is just,,,, rah you're the coolest I love you and I love talking about writing and not writing and silly things. i fear i would repeat so much of what i've already said. first person to nurture my lip ideas and one of the main introductions i had to actively participating in the content i consumed and created and allowing me to continue to share my ideas with a delightful community

-- Moon!!! iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyou, Moon you are so beloved by me. I freaking love talking to you and being sillys together we are literally iconinc duo Snoopy and Woodstock and I freaking adore you soso much

-- tumblr daughter Sonia!!! tumblr daughter sonia i love you dearly. our shared brainchild of vampire Lip is so dear to me and I love chatting with you you're my tumblr baby my tumblr daughter i adore you

-- my mouse the mouse in my pocket if you give a mouse a blog she is going to want friends to go with it mouse i love you so bad

-- my handful collection of mutuals I don't talk to enough; worm, capri, ruby, cass and the beloved l4l! you guys are so fucking cool I love you all and rahhh I'm so glad to share a space with you guys <3

-- all of these are starting to sound the same to me but all 200+ little freaks I love you so bad!!

[aftgficrec]

ah I'm so excited you're open!!! thank you for the ridiculous amount of work you all do 🙏ok, this might be too specific but any fics with an alternate take on Andrew and Neil's post-trk reunion? Andrew gets out of easthaven early, Neil leaves the Nest later, AU's, etc.? i think it's a really interesting point in their dynamic, and I'm a sucker for sober Andrew realizing someone was watching his back for once

Feeling a bit like a Bernie Sanders’ meme – ‘I am once again asking myself why I spent so much time on an ask,’ 😅 but it's because this is such an iconic and beloved scene for our fandom. For a super fun ‘live’ first-time reader reaction to this high drama, check out ‘The King’s Men, Chapter 1 – Hello Foxhole, My Old Friend’ by @nickireadstfc here. -A

Andrew thought coming off drugs will get rid of all side-effects, so why is Neil still here? AKA the scene where Neil picks up the cigarette from the ground and smokes it, but from Andrew’s POV

reckless/i like it by Willow_bird [Rated M, 27259 Words, Complete, AFTG Mixtape Exchange 2022]

One thing didn’t seem to have changed since getting off the drugs. One thing almost seemed to have gotten worse. ”The next time someone comes for you, stand down and let me deal with it. Do you understand?” “If it means losing you, then no.” --- 5 times Andrew realized this something he had for Neil was, well, treacherous + 1 time he admitted (at least to himself) that he liked it

his solace by orphan_account [Rated M, 2292 Words, Complete, 2016]

Andrew’s first thought of Neil Josten was ‘fake’. He was a boy who was clearly lying, clearly pretending to be something he wasn’t; or at least, something he didn’t want to be. Andrew’s next thought of Neil Josten was ‘dangerous’. He was too attractive for Andrew to ignore, whilst single-handedly being the biggest flight risk he’d ever met. Neil looked for exits everywhere he went, and Andrew hated him for it.

Chapter 2: Colors [T] Andrew hates color. It’s part of the reason why he’s always in black. It’s just easier. The color doesn’t make his eyes hurt. He doesn’t have to think about shit matching. It deters people, a lot of times.

When You Were Young by SpookyMiscreant [Rated T, 1831 Words, Complete, 2017]

Next to Kevin sat a man who was roughly Neil-shaped, but that was where the similarities ended. Because Neil was brown hair, wide eyes, and a skittish demeanor. Neil was hidden smiles and questions and questions, so many goddamn questions, and- No. This wasn’t Neil. This man was a collage of bandages and bruises, hair bathed in flame. This man was a slack jaw and blue eyes, blue like ice, like an ocean, like drowning, too much like freedom for Andrew’s comfort. ... Or, The King's Men from Andrew's POV

He only wants to jump off the roof half the time. He supposes that’s progress too. The other half he’s only thinking about it in theory. How many bones would he break? Would he die on impact, like his mother did, or would it take some time? Would he feel the pain, or would it be just pure shock? Would he laugh as he fell? -or- Andrew's life told in snippets

After Andrew comes back from Easthaven, Neil is missing, and Andrew is the only one who remembers who he is. But Neil never left Edgar Allen. *** This takes place during TKM, a what-if? fic where Andrew returns and finds that Neil was like a figment of his imagination, but now he has to save the runaway.

Good Omens, staying skeptical, and the mystery and the lie at the heart of Gravity Falls

-Neil Gaiman, 29 June 2023

I recently came across this post by @apathetic-revenant, which goes into extensive detail about a whole secret meta lie generated by Alex Hirsch, creator and head writer of Gravity Falls, midway through the show.

It went like this: the show was very focused on mysteries, codes, ciphers, etc, and early on a character discovered a mysterious journal with an unknown author, and this drove the plot. There were clues placed in the show so that people could solve the journal author's identity, or more probably so that it would all make sense in hindsight after the big reveal. However, the show ended up with a larger-than-expected fandom who started organizing online in a way the creators hadn't expected or planned for, and they were worried everyone would collectively solve the mystery too easily, too soon, and the suspense and appeal of the story gradually unfolding would be lost.

So they took a fake BTS photo that appeared to reveal the journal's author and "leaked" it online. To give it credibility, the show's creator posted "Fuming right now" and then deleted the post soon after, once they were certain it had been seen and screenshots taken. The Gravity Falls fandom then stopped trying to solve the mystery, as they believed the answer had already been revealed. It was a solution "targeted toward delaying that group problem-solving, without actually affecting the experience of any individual person watching the show."

Ok, Good Omens fandom. Are we Gravity Falls all over again? Are we also experiencing meta lies?

Is it possible that Amazon's marketing department has just released a new promotional video about Aziraphale & Crowley's "timeline of interconnectedness" (discussions here and here ) where they honestly:

got several of those timeline dates wrong, including labeling the entirety of seasons 1 and 2 as belonging to the same year?

mixed all the season 1 and 2 clips together so they're completely interconnected and out of the order they were presented to us so far?

didn't consult with Neil Gaiman for even a moment to be sure they had their facts straight? (Or literally anyone else who's spent years working on it? Or even someone who has just watched it once while paying attention?)

didn't understand the way most series tell a story by moving through time in a realistic linear fashion?

When Neil said today that "time is fine" in response to questions about the timeline of interconnectedness video, was he trying to misdirect the fandom away from the mystery that's clearly hidden throughout both seasons (and especially season 2)?

The Good Place seems suddenly more relevant than I'd imagined:

Neil has told us that his Tumblr posts aren't canon. He's also said:

"Never trust the storyteller. Only trust the story."

"Writers are liars, my dear, surely you know that by now? And yet, things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." -Both quotes are from The Sandman [link]

So here's my plea to whichever part of the fandom might read this: Stay Skeptical. It's wonderful to talk to Neil about his characters, the worlds he's created, his writing process, his views on world events, his sense of humor, his kindness, his compassion and empathy, and his good advice & encouragement for the entire range of the human experience. I respect him very much, and I'm thrilled he's here on social media talking to all of us. (Except he doesn't have social media, obviously. He's like Schrödinger's Social Media Neil-cat.)

I'm looking forward to all the surprises I'm certain are in store for us (and Aziraphale and Crowley) in Good Omens season 3. I trust Neil (and Terry!) to deliver our beloved characters to a very satisfying ending. But I don't trust Neil to honestly answer all of our questions on social media - and neither should you.

Especially not when he's already blamed obvious season 2 changes to the Bentley on the "lighting" (as just one example).

With lots of thanks to the members of the @ineffable-detective-agency - including @bbbitchvibbbez, @kimberleyjean, @maufungi, @noneorother, @theastrophysicistnextdoor, and @thebluestgreen for all their excellent fact-checking, ideas, and discussions!

Interested in diving further into all the Good Omens mysteries? I have more posts plus Clues and metas from all over the fandom, here.

[munsonology]

Officially got my first hate anon! I like that I’m a safe place for many people here, and known for being kind because I am, but that doesn’t mean I can’t take you to the library! And guess what you dumb bitch, I was doing laundry and I HAVE TIME

First of all you fucking loser ya mama must’ve been cleaning with bleach and ammonia because of how stupid you sound, and if you’re this fuckin dumb she should’ve aborted your cretin ass.

The fact that you sent the same shit to multiple people just proves you know how to copy and paste. You’re a pussy. You say this shit on anon like it gives you some power when the gag is you’re a fucking loser who has nothing else going on than tumblr bullshit and since you have nothing going on on there too you wanna start bullshit. Newsflash! I’m not the fuckin 1 or the 2. I reported you to tumblr for perpetuating hate of protected categories ya dumb fuck.

Now let’s unpack some of these ‘claims’ you think you made.

1. I’ve never stolen shit. Everything I’ve posted has been an original thought from MY mind, something you seem to lack. I don’t need to steal shit from anybody.

2. Obviously you must be a fan since you’re able to identify such ‘claims’ (fake news btw)

3. I’m not gay, if you hadn’t noticed how much I talk about DICK AND BALLS. Shout out to all the lesbians and those who do refer to themselves as dykes! You make the world go round ❤️

4. Ugly I am not, in fact it must make your blood boil at how I’m NOT fucking ugly. I have big titties and a fat ass, I don’t need to offer Joesph Quinn $1 million to look my way because he’d look my way for free

5. I’m not confused about my sexuality, I like dick

6. Everybody you named are just a handful of the sweetest people I’ve met online, who have all been burned by bigger writers for one reason or another. Nobody has made a clique, it’s called friendships of which you have none. I’m friends with many people here, many who to my surprise hate each other, but I manage to safely and lovingly interact with most, and you will NOT destroy the bubble I’ve built, especially when it comes to my beautiful and lovely anons (of which you are not and never will be)

7. This wasn’t in your manifesto but I’m going to assume you’re another writer as well because let’s face it, there’s no way you’re not, not with being this chronically online.

8. Idk who tf you’re mad at but it ain’t us beloved

9. Fuck you

10. You gonna end up eating cement running your mouth like this, because if you do this shit irl…idk get ya casket ready or somethin

Dumb cunt 💀

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

Ok I'm super slow to respond to this, as per usual, but I never take the time to sit down with tumblr on my computer, which is very much needed for me when doing these type of asks 😂💖

Thank you for the tag my dearest! These are always fun! I write too damn much for this to be easy though 😂

1.Dead I live, easily the longest, darkest and hardest thing I written! It took 3 years, start to finish, before it was finally done, 2. Bruises, where Jaskier finally stands up for himself after s.2 and the painful fallout of being unwanted. Wrote this in one go, it has a hopeful/happy ending, I promise! 3. How I would kiss you, based on this drabble of mine! Never posted on Tumbl because I try to keep the explicit stuff on Ao3 ;) But the pining in this one, the tension, was a looot of fun, even if it took time to finish!

4. Shipwreck, Jaskel where Eskel is a Mer rescuing human Jaskier from a storm. I really enjoyed writing that one, I love underwater things, as you might have noticed hehe! 5. Leave your mark, because fake dating (fake marrige more like) and pining my beloved! Sometimes three sentences is reason enough to write 10k, you know!

So yeah, and I have a lot that I'm excited about that is in the wip pile .... so those I can't say anything about yet 😂 Thank you for the ask, love!

Every month of 2023!

I tagged myself (shamelessly) on my sideblog b/c I was more active on my main and it looked like fun so :)

JANUARY: my most popular set is WaanTul from Between US and probably one of my faves but also this set from Jung Da Eun in The Witch Part 1 The Subversion

FEBRUARY: popular set is Yak from My School President but my fave would be Ken from Chains of Heart

MARCH: my most popular and also my fave is HinPayu from Chains of Heart

APRIL: popular set is Zorzo as Ae in Step by Step and fave is Thomas' famous drawing from Missing: The other Side

MAY: my most popular set is Be Loved in House: I do but my fave is probably Ms Min's savage moment in The Love you give Me

JUNE: popular set is Home School the Series + Tumblr text post but since I only giffed two sets I'll include View Benyapa in the Home School Special

JULY: most popular set and my fave is Louis Thanawin in Hidden Agenda

AUGUST: goes the same as july most popular and fave is my set about Sing my Crush

SEPTEMBER: three times in a row I only giffed once for this month which means my most popular and fave is a quoteset of Sandray in Only Friends

OCTOBER: was the month of my little obsession with 'Kimi to Nara Koi wo shite mite mo', my beloved <3. let's start with my most popular is where Amane confesses to Ryuji and it's so hard to choose but it's probably the ice cream scene

NOVEMBER: most popular set is Nam Joo Hyuk in Vigilante and my fave is this beautiful Toptap set (what a fake fan I am)

DECEMBER: another month with a new obsession and this time with 'The Sign' so my most popular is the hugging scene between Phaya and Tharn and go judge but going to include two for my faves. One is this single gif of Tharn where he just looks pretty and the other one is my recent about again Tharn's beautiful and pretty face with his mole

I had fun doing this and feel free to ignore and idk who'd already done it but: @itsallaboutbl @raypakorn @i-got-the-feels @wanderlust-in-my-soul @sparklyeyedhimbo @khaotunqs @pondsphuwin @morkofday @loveisactivated

[serpentineshine]

Letters A, K, J, and P?

Yippee! Thank you tumblr mutual starredforlife <3 Oh boy, D&D NPC time, this post might be a bit of a long one… I may not be the best explanatory writer right now, but I tried. :’)

Alba Elûmoine (World Setting: Trita, Deltarra, Other)

A is pretty easy since Alba is a beloved recurring NPC of mine. Alba Elûmoine, or stage name “Alba Alabaster”, is a Tiefling with Ice Devil heritage. He’s a cleric, usually of a setting’s moon goddess (Selûne, Deonora, etc.), and is legally blind. He’s typically soft-spoken, polite, and pleasant to talk to, but can be stubborn and brazen if the situation calls for it. Born to be sassy, forced to be classy.😔 It depends on what setting he appears in, but he typically works as a courtesan and often attracts clients wishing to keep their identity a secret(in his early life he makes a lot of extra money blackmailing clients who think he is more blind than he actually is). In settings where he is older and more wealthy he’s an avid collector of magical and historical artifacts and will often hire adventurers to fetch things for him. Love this guy, he’s so fun, I think I’ve had him as a character since maybe like 2018, maybe 2017? Thankfully he’s been very beloved, so I was not short on finding art of him. <3

My most recent sketch of him is with a werewolf, I thought you’d appreciate that info :)

Khovid Va Otsukimi (World Setting: Deltarra)

This is my warning and reminder to all GMs and OC creators to say your characters names out loud, or mid D&D game you might accidentally end up with a character named Covid, even though it’s not spelled the same way... Khovid Va is Elven and a shopkeeper in the city of Ebon'rana. His shop is called “Glasshopper” and he specializes in selling magical weapons. He’s mute and has a large horizontal scar across the front of his neck, as well as a scar across his left cheek by his mouth and right eyebrow. He can do that cool thing where he can write upside down and does that at his counter to communicate with guests (and show off). His fun trivia and secret lore is that he faked his own death and ran away from his noble family in the Feywild because they wanted him to basically become the next leader of the Autumn Court and he couldn’t take the responsibility. Khovid Va is his full first name! He just has a two-part first name. Yes, I created him in 2020, no I did not realize at the time that I named him Covid until it was too late… I don’t have many drawings of him, but here’s a very small old sketch of him.

Jortly (World Setting: Deltarra)

I actually have very few NPCs who have names starting with J so this took me a sec, but then I was reminded of Jortly (thank you hedgie). Jortly is a Tortle monk and a son of one of my player’s characters. Think about combining a turtle with one of those stretchy blue sticky hand toys and that’s basically Jortly. He talks like he’s so worried all the time and his catchphrase is “Oh gosh”.

Phonoko Silverscribe (World Setting: Trita)

Archivist Phonoko Silverscribe is one of the three head mages of the Harmonic Circle Mage’s Association, and right-hand to the High Mage. He’s an older Aarakocra gentleman with a bit of a nervous demeanor. He and his team are in charge of magical archival information for the association as well as he basically keeps everything in order for the other two top archmages. There’s more to him as well, but I have a couple of my players following me here who are playing in this setting right now, so I can’t reveal too much at the moment, he might be a more relevant character at a later time. :)) this drawing and design of him is by @hedgehogofspades!

Oof ok wow that took a while, thank you for the ask!

[siege-thewitch]

I will only be addressing this anon as to help other people identify when someone is posting inflammatory, transmisogynistic bullshit. Lets make it a little fun though, shall we?

I have a wonderful volunteer clown for today's lesson! They were so eager to wear a mask, I thought I'd give them something a bit more colorful.

Here we have a clear classification of Baitax Indo Silentium - Bait into Silence. A real and not at all humorous latin term that I just made up to illustrate a point. This asks serves to be Bait, Harassment to both me and Avery (though largely Avery), and to shut down my own voice on what happened to her. Here are the main elements to the clown's bait. 1 - Framing. This is more circumstantial, but the clown used whatever name would paint Avery in the worst light. Literally shortening her old blog title 'Predstrogen' to 'Pred' to make her sound. Well. More predatory. It immediately soured the taste of the seltzer this sad little comedian sprayed in my face.

2 - Misgendering. Plain and simple. Dehumanizing trans women is a common tactic for terfs and bigots everywhere. Our clown was not very subtle in hiding the true colors painted boldly on their tiny car.

3 - Callout Culture. Tries to make the conversation about a list of 'crimes' to accuse Avery of. This is a particularly popular tool in the ongoing harassment campaign against Avery and trans women online at large. 'She's a sexual deviant', the clown honks. This is made to put the targeted woman and anyone who stands with her on the defensive, and to isolate her by punishing anyone who would try to stand up for her.

If you see accusations like this and find yourself reflexively assuming guilt, or even that there is something to defend, that's the little clown in your ear whispering to you. Swat it off your shoulder. Callout culture has done so much to target and wipe trans women off the internet.

4 - Puritan Behavior. Not only is our beloved clown clumsy, unfunny, and tells some horribly bigoted jokes, they also want to add sex work to the callout post. I make this its own specific point because our fool clearly stole their material from terfs/swerfs. Demonizing Avery for her sex work is nothing new. It never has been- not for any woman.

5- Appeal to Authority. I am woefully underread on logical fallacies, but this one sticks out brighter than the fake flower on their suit. 'If she broke the TOS, she deserves whatever happens to her'.

Not only does this attempt to make okay the previous and ongoing sexual harassment Avery endured, it also tries to limit the conversation by what tumblr does or doesn't think is okay. Don't let people box you in like this! Especially not Mx. Banana Cream Pie over here.

That's about all I really feel I have to teach about our volunteer today. They are a terf and a swerf- if not in name then certainly in action. I doubt I will be answering or addressing any other hate mail I get.

Maerossa Appreciation

*This is the one I posted on Twitter before. I believe I did want to post this here at some point but then completely forgot about it haha. So let's do it*

Preface

It has been a while ago since I set up my “Maestarossa appreciation” page on my tumblr blog but I really don’t have a chance to finish it… One of the main reason is that I feel sometimes people argued with me a lot in the past regard to the interpretation and understanding of the character arc etc. so I just stop writing such things at some point. But maybe I should speak up more about my own opinion…

I know that it’s hard to persuade people, so this will more serve as a reminder for me to always read the manga again and appreciate the ship

---

As I always rant on my twitter, I have a feeling that people absolutely love to emphasize how different Mael and Estarossa are, and this is what I hate the most haha. People have the right to say they are different because they do in some way, but really I feel like in the fandom there is a lack of the voice to appreciate how they share the same personalities and feelings in the end. This similarity is a bless and a curse that both cannot escape.

But how? I will explain in detail below.

---

1. A hypocritical love

Since back then, Ludociel has taught Mael that to kill a demon is to save the soul from the foul. To him, killing is a way to show the mercy and love, even a hypocritical one. 

The Commandment of Love sounds definitely sarcastic in my opinion. In the original Japanese, the commandment is specifically referring to the love that has a merciful side. Even though Estarossa seems to kill people to fulfill the order from Demon King or even just for fun, he does show his hypocritical love side and kill people as a mercy.

2. A lonely heart

From Bonus: Awake from a Black Dream

Mael has said that he hates wars and killing people; nevertheless he follows his brother and becomes the Angle of the Death and the strongest Four Archangel. Why he would do so?

In my mind, he is a child who always eager for the recognition from his beloved. Mael values his brother and choose to kill demons even though he is not willing to do so. He also hopes his beloved Elizabeth could toss him a glance as a nod; however, this is almost impossible due to the conflict nature of Elizabeth and Ludociel’s stands:

He constantly devalues himself as he tries to fulfill the expectation from others. In the end, he becomes a lonely child who never truly grows up and always sit on the lawn of the sky islands.

This self-devaluation and loneliness also plays an important role in Estarossa’s personality.

Imitation is a form of self-devaluation.

And always be alone.

3. Reconcile

The tragedy is never solely a coincidence. Besides Gowther’s plan, the fall of the great archangel is majorly caused by Mael’s ignorance and the lack of true self-recognition.

Mael (or Estarossa) looking at the opposite side to Elizabeth, implying the loss of the true self.

Thus the true remedy for the trauma is to reconcile with the lost self. It seems like “Estarossa” is dead for everyone else, as people around Mael will naturally use the real name to call him and celebrate his return.

However, Mael specifically refer his “fake” name when he looks back into the past. Estarossa never dies nor disappears, but lives with him forever. There is no way for him to escape from himself.

And Estarossa will simply accept the truth then smiles back.

[firespirited]

Confession time. After destiel went canon and broke tumblr, I read the entire wiki for the main characters before watching the final episodes and felt the finale was so out of character that I mentally wrote a fix it fic.

Here is me writing it down in honour of the third anniversary. A show that to me: consists of 3 episodes, a lot of meta posts that trended over the years, jokes about loving your car, some manic wiki reading and that odd dude who inexplicably did iffy prolapse photomanip fanart.

I have made no attempts to polish this. The voices probably aren't right but I tried to write an open ending that stays true to characterisation (aka as tumblr presented these three beloved characters which may be the opposite of what the writers of manly male, rock loving, hunters with guns in a muscle car and dead girlfriends had in mind) .

We follow the final episode as it began except after the pie festival and the vamp mime first murder, they're off to hunt but a flaming meteor falls from the sky and they follow it in the car. It hits a field, they see a human figure, run and use their coats and feet to put out the flames. It's Cas. They put him in the car, they're all very shaken no answers to Sam's many questions, awkward glances in the mirror from Dean then Cas breaks his silence and asks for his slice of pie... the one in the glove box. Sam is confused, Dean looks like he's going to vomit.

We restart the episode from a different point of view: After Castiel got sent to the empty, Dean began praying to whomever, whatever would hear (silently or under his breath but constantly.) he thinks he might be insane from grief but after all he's seen he has the smallest hope) . Jack as God can't technically rewrite all the laws of the universe but he's receiving these "prayers". He smirks when he finds a bylaw that he can make a saint of Castiel so that prayers to him are redirected straight to him and cannot be diverted (heaven's bureaucracy is complex).

The empty has known no peace for six months. Dean's internal monologue of prayer has been echoing around and amplified the more the empty tried to create silence. The empty has tried to kill Dean so many times but he's got a protective barrier on his hand that looks like a scratch (placed by a grateful angel) so he's been dodging these deaths like it's looney tunes, completely unaware. (insert scenes of echoey overlapping narration of longing and yearning over near misses of murder by multiple means. For angst broken up by comedy)

Back to now, to the car. The brothers staring at Cas, Dean gets out of the car to hyperventilate and try to hold it together. We focus in on the ringing and rushing blood sound in his ears as Sam seems to be asking questions again and Cas seems to be talking. Sam gets out of the car, asks his brother if he's OK, he obviously lies and says Yes.

Sam sighs and says "Yeah clearly, you look fantastic. So uh Cas says he wants in on the vampire mimes and is eager to do more hunting evil... and I know it's not the time but damnit when is ever the right time? ... Look, when I talked about a more normal life, I meant it. We write our own stories and maybe it's time for you to go try something, anything else really. How about you take a vacation? Cas and I will handle things."

"I've, well, I've given normal life a lot of thought, I've never truly fit in and I could try but I can only fake it for so long. Funny, but when I allowed myself to daydream of a different life, I imagined careers that led me back to the road and back to making things right, you know? I think at the core, that's who I am... And, hey, since you brought it up, I never asked you if this life is the 'normal' you want....To be honest: I know it's not. and I didn't want to be alone, at least not these past few months, I know I've seemed fine but"

"Oh no no, you did not seem 'fine' but I wasn't going to go out of my way to point it out. You didn't even wash for days at your worst. You mumble under your breath sometimes. Those guns are cleaned down to the last speck of dust. I wasn't going to leave you alone, not ever."

"Okay - Ok.ay! Since we're here having the 'talk', aside from your duty as my brother, have YOU let yourself imagine what you'd want normal to be, for you?"

He blurts out "Eileen... It's Eileen. I know she's out there somewhere, I felt a strange pang and it was relief." he's speaking so fast "She's back. My mind races at the possibilities, I haven't dared to let myself start. I'm not sure how I want to live but I know it has to be with Eileen"

"I'm calling a taxi. You have a serious phone call and some travel ahead. Older brother's orders. I'll do the blood suckers"

"Work again. Will you ever open up about what's been going on with you? You wouldn't even tell me how Cas summoned the Empty."

"I, uh, these things take time, more of an actions over words kinda guy. *stares at phone* Oh your taxi is two minutes out."

"I don't know what to say"

"You don't have to say anything, you already told me through all you've done. Text me when you arrive safely, or don't, if you're otherwise occupied"

"You're the worst. And the best." They hug

A car pulls up, Sam yells at Cas though the window that they'll talk soon and to keep Dean out of trouble. Cas gives him a thumbs up.

Dean gets back into the car after watching the taxi drive away until it's completely out of view. He hands the vamp case notes to Cas to read, instead Cas puts them aside on the seat. "It could be the six months, it could be the new body: this appears to be an empty copy, my host was spared the empty thankfully. Yes it could be the new body but you were right this pie is exactly to my taste"

"I don't want to know do I?"

"Indeed, you'd be mortified, it's a word you used a lot about your inner conflicts but, you've faced hell, I promise that voicing your thoughts isn't as terrible."

"Uh your coat and top are burned and falling apart, here have my jacket."

"I mean, voicing your feelings can get you sent to the empty but that's the worst case scenario"

"Nice. Reassuring." *goes quiet*

A phone dings, Cas pulls it out of the jacket. "You have a new message from Sam: "Eileen fine and well, two exclamation marks" aww, he's going to Eileen? She's wonderful isn't she? "meeting at station at 3am. Capital T, A L K and get answers from Cas you idiot skull emoji skull emoji laugh crying emoji"

"Vamps first... then I need a drink" Dean looks out of the window with a mixture of apprehension and giddiness, there's a small smile creeping across his lips that fades into seriousness, there's a flash of fear, then the smile returns with a tremor as if despite himself.

Various old friends are sat around in heaven: they reminisce, they can't know the boys future but they know it's nothing they can't handle, the senseless cruelty is over.
