(⚠️ nonsense ramble incoming /vent¿ ⚠️)

I remember seeing someone post a TikTok slideshow with two images, one saying a reference to the dsmp with another person replying "what is the dsmp?" and the second image said "the world is healing" with a cute dolphin.

I never felt more angry in my entire life. We must forget to be better?. We must exist like it was never known?, as if the people didn't put their soul into this project (from both audience and creator)?.

No, I wont really, to be healed is to be ignorant of the great and the horrible, i'd better rot on my living flesh.

Atleast I will know something, than to "heal" and pretend that there isn't a lot to learn put there in the forgotten, and yes, even from the stupid silly Minecraft streaming series.

It was a lesson on parasocial relationships, the last challenged attention span, respect and love for the craft. And most importantly, connections between the people in terrible times like the pandemic.

I didn't really know or think much about what I just said here, but I had to put this somewhere. And this seemed like a free space.

everyone on this app yaps about bad media being better for fandoms but dsmp’s untapped and forever unexplored or poorly explored potential and general themes of attachment, grief and childhood and the fact that so much of it was accidental or improvised and the tight knit community that fell apart in less than two years makes it, in my humble and objective opinion, the single most haunting fandom i’ve ever been in. if you even care. clings to everyone like cobwebs i mean just look at all the sleeper agents and old urls that are posting about tonight lol YOU CAN’T ESCAPE

obi-wan's devotion to Anakin's son is immediate and eternal and insane. he really set that man on fire and then looked at his son like "ok this is what i'm doing until i die now thanks," and then did exactly that.

you really dont see any red flags about the "cheese pizza" for child porn thing? that started on 4chan over pizzagate. "good faith" doesnt mean you take an obvious fascist painting a (possibly fake) trans woman as a predator at their word.

That sure is a lot of assumptions that have nothing to do with anything I've said! I don't believe I've expressed any direct opinion of my own (out loud on here--my DMs with friends have been FULL of extremely opinionated commentary on that post, both today and when it originally hit my inbox). That is my normal way on this blog--I don't state my own opinions because I don't matter, it's the comments section that gets to matter.

But since you've asked, just to be clear, I think the submitter of that post is a thoroughly unpleasant person, has slanted that story in every possible way, and is painting a picture that may have very little in common with reality. I think they are a transmisogynist who took someone's actions and read them willfully in the wildest, worst faith way possible. Like the pool thing? I genuinely do not understand how they got from "she wants to throw a pool party for the neighborhood kids" to...whatever the hell they were implying there. I genuinely do not. And overwhelmingly, the comments agree! They are rightfully calling the submitter the asshole. Which is what this blog is here for. The system works!

That is not, and has never been, what I mean by "good faith" on this blog. I have been VERY clear (today even! in so many words!) that you are perfectly welcome to question anyone's portrayal of events. What you're not welcome to do is call the post wholesale fake and bait. As has always been the case.

Every other three threads or comments in the comment section on reddit are now about "WhEn Will cEleboRn APpEAR???"

Celeborn isn't this cool, badass character like Glorfindel or Anárion. Tolkien invented him to be Galadriel's husband and the father to her daughter, so she could be Arwen's grandmother and Eldarion's great-grandmother. It is telling that this cis white hetero man born in 1892 already recognized that Galadriel was much more interesting than her husband.

Reddit's obsession with Celeborn is part of a much bigger, cultural problem, namely that Galadriel isn't allowed to be a strong female character with agency without the "guidance" of her husband. It stems from their hatred towards Galadriel acting "traditionally masculine" and needing to be "more feminine, therefore tamed". It's symptomatic of their disdain towards women in general.

(I need to point out that I am not against Celeborn as a character and him appearing somewhere toward the end of the series, but this obsession rooted in misogyny is fucking disgusting actually).

TINY PEOPLE (part 7)

[missingthemantaray]

when straight couples in media pine for each other or act particularly repressed as they deny themselves of romance or pleasure, the involuntary taunt, “gaaay” leaves my mouth. i don’t know how this started or how to stop it, but, worst of all, i don’t know if i’m ever wrong.

Frankly, I think Bungie should give Osiris hair, he's not in the forest anymore he has access to brushes. Please, he'd look so daddy with salt and pepper hair. Guys I swear I tried to make him look as like Osiris as possible, I studied that motherfucker like a scholar.

Me: scrolling through Disney app

My 2-year-old: “daddy?”

Me: “yes, bug?”

My 2-year-old, pointing at the tv: “daddy.”

Me: “was there something you wanted to watch?”

(We often let him pick what we watch. He doesn’t have all his words yet, so he has shortened names for things: Turning Red is “Panda” and Encanto is “Bruno” and the Mario movie is “Bowser,” for example. I have no idea what “Daddy” is, though. Yet.)

My 2-year-old, insistent now: “Daddy!”

Me: “could you show me, bug?”

My 2-year-old, trotting over to the tv, pointing at the tile for Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir, and tapping on Chat Noir: “Daddy!”

My Wife: *cackling*

Me: “first of all-”

My Wife: “that’s totally you, babe.”

Me: “just because I wanted to be Tuxedo Mask when I was a kid-”

My Wife, who has never watched a single episode of a single Magical Girl Anime in her life: “who?”

Me, who watched several growing up, realizing that I have Played Myself: “harrumph”

My 2-year-old, insistent now, slapping the picture of Chat Noir hard enough to shake the tv: “DADDY!”

My Wife: “you wanna watch Daddy on the tv?”

My 2-year-old: “YES!”

Me: “FINE I GUESS”

I don't think "shipper" really captures the reality of the situation. I'm a Lukercy truther. These two characters were connected by faith, doomed by the narrative, living in another Greek tragedy, and the greatest tragedy is Rick Riordan declaring Percy Jackson canonical straight via Twitter (Rick's been acting very JK Riordan lately anyway so he's been death of the authored by defult. boycott Disney. you know why.)

Lemmi be clear, you don't need to actively like the ship to be a Lukercy Truther (you can, it helps) but you do need to see how cannon heavily implies that there dynamic is anything but a surface level friends to enemies plot line. Could also be platonic. Could also be queer platonic. It's not about them being a good couple. They can also be toxic, but they're soulmates, and as a Lukercy truther, my job is to share that truth with the world. To be clear, this has evolved past a standard obsession into religion like devotion. Do I advise following my path? No, but if you do, I wish you luck as a fellow humble servant of the good word.
