#friendly anon hater

[missr3n3]

for making me laugh i present to you:

ftii god (he's gon be mentioned and/or implied here and there during the story)

god has no comprehensible form for mortals, so he uses someone or something else's appearance (for example, Joshua) to communicate.

he technically doesn't need to talk with anyone, cuz he could just. make ppl do or say the stuff he wants them to. but it's more boring like that. god's voice is more of a feel or something you'd hear in your mind, and god's voice is also silent.. in a weird way.

mfer also does things that make no sense and doesn't elaborate further (tis why michael end up in the nightmare sand pit in the first place). hekamah hates every time god goes silent during big events, though it's not like he cares about its opinion. boo hoo ig.

(Your friendly anon hater was here!)

god rolling up to someone looking like a scrawny emo boy is the absolute funniest mental image dfhdskfhdsl

[pluralhottakes]

hot take. I can date my factive of my crush even if I end up being rejected by the source. Although there's been no source-separation yet, they are not the exact same person and therefore one does not speak for the other. (this is me trying to give myself permission because something inside of me says that I'm not allowed to do that and I'm trying to figure out why)

Re: TROLLS 🧌

Ok, this is my last post about these accounts. The reason I'm actually doing this is to show how this can follow the same route as a PR misdirection. Always always be skeptical!!!

It's the same 'ole same 'ole. Here are the tip offs:

• Two new "Lukola" accounts came up in the last 24 hrs. They have no other posts before yesterday & today. (See posts below)

• Every single post mentions me and how awful I am; It's been a slew of manic posts mainly from 2 accounts, one right after the other within less than 24 hrs. and the accounts like/ comment on each other's posts.

• They've created other fake accounts to comment and respond. It's not 2, 3 or 4 different people, it's not a new wave of haters - it's the same person, smdh, trying to create social proof. (Hey, at least when A does it, she has L make his friends & family do it for real. 🤦‍♀️)

•Their own verbiage outs them. "Fia just blocked another account". How would they know who I blocked unless they created all these accounts? And they've allegedly been on my Discord server but I've never had a Discord server. IF I've chatted one on one in Discord dms (doubtful) they obviously created another fake account.

• This reiterates what we've all been seeing when it comes to Lukola misdirections and/ or Jakola trolls - Accounts pop up out of nowhere, have a singular agenda and masquerade as friendly but are really SUS AF.

NOTE: I do actually pity this person and do encourage people to take care of their mental health in all sincerity. The world is tough and self care is never more important, as is empathy.

Lastly, I don't respond to trolls. I block them and move on. I guess me ignoring them got too much, seeing as some of the other Lukola bloggers will occasionally reply w/ a get the F off my blog or bitch, please. Lol. They can tell you it goes in waves and trust, it's never respectful!!!

I don't post the outrageous, hateful Asks I've had from the start of my blog. I know @frantastical remembers one in particular who would pretend she was a Lukola follower and then proceed to submit a hateful Anon Ask, or 10. And I know many of you remember the troll from Suffer's discord who is beyond hateful.

So I apologize if some of you have been blocked if I thought you were a fake account/ troll but when it's 50-50, I err on the side of caution and block. When it's a misunderstanding, most of you will write to me and explain, so I appreciate that!!! I will always respond to someone sincerely reaching out. Again, this just tells you how much Lukolas are correct, how they know we are and how they'd love a piece of our confidence & faith in Lukola, knowing that all in time, time will reveal...

(This was all but a soft launch)

Oh, and one last thing - I'll never ask you to block anyone or hate on anyone. We are all free to make our own decisions and conduct ourselves as we wish!

The posts - all w/ in the last 24 hrs and all geared at hate toward me/ Lukolas ⏬️

Basically the Smiling Critters, but with muted color pallettes and mental illnesses/disorders! I changed their names, too, along with their pendants!

The is the official blog for a random Smiling Critters AU I thought of! What's their backstory? Why do they have these mental challenges? That's for you to find out!

I do allow suggestive jokes or smth like that

No racists, homophobics, haters, etc

Ship art is allowed! (In fact I'm a multishipper, you might find me making ship art of them

Magic anons are also allowed, please just don't overdo it

You can harm them, just not severely (exp: you can't kill them, rip their arm off, stab their chest, etc)! I'd like it if it was just a silly slap or smth (for just silly content)

If you'd like to make an OC in my AU, tag me in it!! I wanna see!! :D

If you have anymore questions, ask!!

Warnings! This blog could contain:

Blood/gore (idk how to draw gore do most likely not gore 😔)

Angst/lore

Suggestive jokes and stuff

Swearing

Maybe stuff related to fear?

I am originally an sfw tickle blog, though I don't rly post sfw tickle stuff often

My OG blog:

PolarDay

Behold, the leader of this mentally unstable friendgroup! PolarDay is always there to help his friends in tough situations. In fact, he never takes a break in being the leader! He claims he has never cracked under the pressure.

Mental illness/disorder(s): bipolar, smiling depression (moderate)

Pronouns: he/they

Pendant: cloudy sun

Scent: fruity sherbert

MewMoon

MewMoon is your grumpy, sleepy kitty. Though he is normally calm and friendly, due to not getting enough sleep, he's especially grumpy.

Mental illness/disorder(s): every sleeping thing you can think of. (Exp: insomnia, restless leg syndrome, sleep paralysis, ETC)

Pronouns: he/him

Pendant: new moon

Scent: grape

ChickVain

The narcissist of the friend group. While always being cocky and overly confident, ChickVain does have a soft spot, yet he doesn't have it for anyone. It'd have to be a really special person for him to show his soft side.

Mental illness/disorder(s): narcissistic personality disorder, depression (mild), trust issues (not rly a mental illness/disorder but eh)

Pronouns: he/him

Pendant: shooting star

Scent: lemon

Anxi AnxiePhant

Always overthinking and overreacting, Anxi AnxiePhant is a troubled encounter. That's not his fault, though! He's just constantly in panic. In fact, his pupils are just scribbles from his constant distress. It'd be pretty rare to see him speak to anyone at all, so don't expect to hear anything from him. For some reason, he has thought his friends were replaced with imposters a few times before.

Mental illness/disorder(s): anxiety (severe), PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), depression (severe), derealization/depersonalization

Pronouns: he/him

Pendant: candle (it's lit if his anxiety is spiked. The bigger the flame, the higher the anxiety levels)

Scent: blackberry

EroBear ClingBug

This bear may be sweet and cuddly, but she's very...clingy. Don't expect her to leave the others alone. She's the kind to make any excuse for hanging out. Her love language is physical affection, so watch out! Her hugs are tight!!

Mental illness/disorder(s): erotomania (thinking someone of a higher social class is in love w/ you), BPD (borderline personality disorder), obsessive love disorder

Pronouns: she/her

Pendant: cracked heart

Scent: cherry

Nervosa Boara

She has a habit of eating questionable things, especially when stressed. However, she's started to make these questionable things the only stuff she eats. Nervosa Boara, while caring and willing to be there for her friends, is a little distant, and tries hard to tolerate jerks.

Mental illness/disorder(s): pica, anorexia, bad self-esteem, depression (moderate)

Pronouns: she/they

Pendant: corn starch

Scent: dragon fruit

CynesCorn

CynesCorn, while being very quiet, isn't as quiet as Bubba. Though, she is shy and nervous, always making excuses to not visit social and huge events. She's always willing to draw something for her friends, though it's sometimes difficult for her.

Mental illness/disorder(s): social anxiety moderate), synesthesia (not a mental thingymabob but 🤷‍), depression (mild), PTSD (moderate), Walking Corpse Syndrome

Pronouns: she/he/they

Pendant: wilted flower

Scent: blueberry

Hyper Hare

While being an energetic rabbit, Hyper Hare may be a little too energetic. She doesn't really have any self control, talks and runs a lot, and never really pays attention. She also doesn't seem to get how some things she says are kinda rude. Exp: "Ugh! You are so boring! Can't you be a little more useful?"

Mental illness/disorder(s): high-functioning autism (not necessarily a disorder/illness), ADHD, depression (mild)

Pronouns: she/her

Pendant: thundercloud

Scent: lime

Have fun interacting with them!

(Ignore all the tags, this is how I manage to get noticed 😞)

[summerlinenss]

Do you have any suggestions for Taika friendly twitters and tumblrs that don't act like they're one second away from turning on him because someone dumped a bunch of easily disproven misinfo about I/P, Hamas, zionism, and Taika himself in their replies? Every time I think I find someone sane about it they suddenly pivot into hate because of some bad faith actor dumping reams of misinfo on them that they can't be bothered to look into themselves and I'm getting very sick of it.

hi, anon! i get how hard it is, believe me. it can be really frustrating to think someone is at the very least normal about him and then see them buying into all of the misinformation and gossip.

i don’t think it’s used as often on tumblr, but one tip i do have is to browse through the TaikaTuesday hashtag on twitter and look for regulars in there. there can be some trolls who use it to spread hate, but for the most part it’s only love and good vibes.

on here, people i know for sure at the very least aren’t taika haters are: @allysr00m @bizarrelittlemew @batsarebetterthanpeople @blakbonnet @celluloidbroomcloset @edscuntyeyeshadow @follovver @gentlebeardsbarngrill @jaskierx @meluli @ourflagmeansgayrights @ourflagmeanslove @scarrletmoon @viagnc @youwrotemealovelyletter111 (i’m sure i’m forgetting others and i’m so sorry if i am but please feel free to reblog/reply if you’re part of this group!)

on twitter, the first people to come to mind are: @/aj_in_moonlight @/beabonnet29 @/cremeishere @/frombrunanburh @/Gonzo_vs_Taika (also on ig!) @/heyhayley @/IBrokeCharacter @/InNeedofDonuts @/laszloscursdhat @/orchid_explosion @/regg_official @/sirencalll @/ThatllBeMyBrand @/therevengeboys @/waititicoded @/YulYY4

oh, and i 100% recommend following @fuckyeahworldoftaika (and @/TaikaArchives on twitter) if you haven’t already for great updates and positivity.

my other final tip would be: mute and block liberally. i know people always say that but i cannot tell you how much of an improvement it’s been to my mental health to just block people instead of giving them the attention they want.

hopefully this helps, anon! 🥰

Headcanons for automatic?

SINCE YOU ASKED SO NICELY!!! i love automatic sm, it truly is a crime they didn’t make him more relevant in the main series bc i think he’s super funny. here are an assortment of automatic hcs for you anon. i wish i could make the banner for it too but im honestly half asleep rn

the kind of guy that will try to convince you that he doesn’t care. but he does. he cares A WHOLE LOT!! his flop era with supa strikas took a massive hit on his confidence and it did show during his initial transition with IU

is actually not a mean guy at all, he’s just insecure— hence the bullying children in rookie season. but he’s off with a better team now and he’s never been more fulfilled than ever

his love language is teasing, he especially finds the most joy in teasing skarra because that guy gets pissed SO easily and auto finds it entertaining

its a shame we dont see auto as often bc i think his dynamic w skarra is hilarious. its just the constant “i can see why supa strikas rejected you” “look who’s talking” LMAOOO???

bookworm!! you know auto is reading a really good book/series if he has not replied to any texts or calls for the past few days. nobody can come between this man and his kindle

not necessarily a loner but he does find comfort in being alone most days. you know the lounge that skarra, dingaan, and dooma always hangs out at? he’s been there a couple of times but got irritated and then never came back

that’s it really. he just gets real irritated real fast!!!

remember when i said he isn’t mean… yeah he ISN’T but he’s not necessarily the nicest either. this guy can and will curse you and your family out if you try him. not very pg friendly 🥀

knows at least a couple of vince’s credit card info… and have used it. which also caused a whole commotion in the locker room bc vince was not happy to see transactions that were not his own

but to be fair it wasn’t like he bought anything crazy, he probably got takeout but didnt bother using his own money LOL like chill out vince it was only $10 🙄🙄

EL MATADOR’S BIGGEST HATER!!! when “last action figure” was going down, oh this man was enjoying every second of it

lives alone and probably plans on keeping it that way. he’s not a relationship kind of guy but he will consider adopting fur babies to keep him company

and for that same reason he prefers cats over dogs, he grew up with cats in his old family home and think they strike the perfect balance of being lovable without being too hyper (he just can’t handle dogs, he can barely handle himself)

cryptic texts to the group chat because free will >>>

sends his own posts in the group and everyone’s like “what’s this?” and he goes “i don’t see any of you liking my posts” “(skarra) yeah that’s because nobody wants to see your blurry gym pics, weirdo”

him and skarra are roommates in this scenario. they’re in their hotel room and skarra starts complaining a bit too much about shakes for a bit too long. this is automatic:

C0M3 0UT, C0M3 0UT, WH3R3V3R Y0U 4R3! B3C4U53 1'M G0NN4 G3T'CH4, H3H3H3!!

[Hello! This is a c00lkidd's blog! Where you can talk or ask questions towards the one and only, c00lkidd himself! This c00lkidd is inspired by one of the skin in the Forsaken game with my own headcanon aswell!]

"WhY d0 th3y 4lw4y5 runn1ng 4w4y fr0m m3? 3v3n my 0wn d4d... n0 m4tt3r, 1 w1ll t4gg3d th3m 4nd wh3n th1s g4m3 f1n1sh th3n m3 4nd d4d c4n f1n4lly g0n3 b4ck h0m3!"

What is Forsaken? Forsaken is a Roblox game made by user souldrivenlove. Set as a Survival Horror, the gameplay loop sees the survivors, all based around different roles, trying to run away and stay alive, while a monster hunts them down.

Who is c00lkidd? c00lkidd is an exploiter with a childlike personality who treats his situation very playfully and game-like, often laughing while active.

Well, well, seems like you wander into this blog, dear lurker, haha! Welcome to a c00lkidd blog, the one and only young killer in the game called Forsaken from Roblox. Having a heavy hyperfixation towards this game and adored the character c00lkidd, especially the angst have made me decided to made this blog! This blog will be contains a bunch of angst, dark-theme and even horror!

But before we're moving on, let's start with the classic rules, shall we? Let's gooo!

The Rules

Please do not send an NSFW (lusty) ask, remember that c00lkidd is a minor and probably too young for that (even though he's the killer in the game) so for this sake, don't.

Truthfully, this blog is runned by my c00lkidd fictive (yes, mod ghost is a system) just a silly but chaotic lil guy but please be respectful.

Do not spam my inbox, please! I want all of you to be patience with the reply as i have a life on my own outside internet, i am not a robot that always needed to 'satisfy' you.

If i suddenly got uninterested with the roleplay, please respect it and don't force me to roleplay it, if i say stop and don't want to continue then please respect it.

Anon Magic is allowed but don't be too crazy.

You cannot kill them but you can harm them a little, just don't kill them.

No OP character, please- this isn't anime or some crap like that.

Don't be a hater or rude people here, be friendly (talking about me and others that's having fun)

Now that is finish, time for headcanon!

He wears an oversized red hoodie with "team c00lkidd join today!" plastered across the chest, along with dark red baggy pants patched with a lollipop and burger design. His signature rainbow propeller hat spins lazily atop his head, clashing with his monstrous form, while a blue bandana wraps loosely around his neck. A brown bandaid sits on his nose, and more are hidden beneath his hoodie sleeves—souvenirs from frequent trips and scrapes.

c00lkidd's appeareances

C00lkidd is a solid red Robloxian with a grotesque, fleshy body, dinosaur-like claws, feet, and a long tail. His face is dominated by beady black eyes and a wide, unsettling grin, filled with sharp teeth, sometimes playful, sometimes unnervingly sinister. Two demon-like horns jut from his head, adding to his eerie presence.

In one clawed hand, he wields a giant lollipop, sometimes used to smack survivors, other times simply to lick and chomp on. Mischievous yet menacing, C00lkidd is a chaotic force of playful destruction, blending childish fun with a nightmarish presence, always grinning as he spreads mayhem.

Headcanons

c00lkidd's is 10 years old.

c00lkidd's have a problem to grasp what is reality and what is isn't, having thinking he was playing with the survivors but in reality, is not.

c00lkidd's still adored his father, 007n7 but never understand why his father always runned away from him or tries to ignored him, it always ached his heart.

c00lkidd's relationship with the other killers are normal enough, mostly getting along with Jason as he sees him like an older brother figure and he admired him at the same time.

c00lkidd's is afraid of John Doe, mostly because his dad used to tell him story about him, mostly when it was time for bedtime. Would tries to runs or hide away from John.

c00lkidd's like dirt cake! (Not an actual dirt but a cake filled with pudding and oreos.)

c00lkidd's prefer using his lollipop but sometime used his 'toy' sword when playing but rarely.

c00lkidd's used to causes havoc in Elliot's work whenever his dad would be busy with something else, mostly because he wanted those delicious pizza.

c00lkidd's have a rivalry relationship with Bluudud, thinking bluudud is a loser.

c00lkidd's owned a burger hat just so he can matches with his dad.

c00lkidd's would acted like a chaotic cat or a sleepy cat, between both and depending situation.

c00lkidd's would, no, definitely goes towards his dad whenever someone bullied him. He's a kid, what did you expect-

An ankle biters and a gremlin.

Have a black bunny that he called as Mafio.

And that's all about it! Have fun in talking with this little guy. Ghost out *jumps out of window*

i noticed a decrease of LexZex art on twitter in the last couple months (there’s only a handful of artists and i take every crumb i can get haha) so i wandered into the tag and saw so many people dragging the ship, it was disheartening 😔😔 i saw your name mentioned or at least vague tweeted a couple times and i just wanna say even if the antis make online spaces uncomfortable for “bad ship” artists, there are always people supporting your art from the sidelines! don’t let the haters stop you from doing what you love, you’re doing god’s work with this ship! ˚‧º·(′̥̥̥ o ‵̥̥̥)‧º·˚

Hi anon! First up, I know how you feel-- to my knowledge I only know of like two other artists for this ship (both JP; people I'm friendly with) so when one goes missing, it certainly feels like a Void.

As far as people in the tags go; there's a very good reason why I never venture Into the tags, even at the start of my venture into KH. I don't even check my own Username tag because I saw something, once, and went "yknow what, nah". Some people are rancid for just the reason of having a squick towards a pairing with age gap-- despite most of their claims (Zexion being a minor; he's not, by an interview that lists all the Org minus Rox as 20+) (Aeleus being his 'father figure'; he's not. Ienzo has never listed Aeleus as a Father figure, when he lists his parental/mentors [They are listed as AtW, with a mocking commentary about Even's behavior towards him.]) just being headcanon. They spread this like it's canon, and use it as ammo to hurt strangers because they saw something they don't like and threw a fit, like a child being introduced to bitter vegetables. I never understood why they didn't just block, mute, move on. Rather, they'll openly vaguetweet, spread hate, and even screencap and go after users who don't use English as a first language leading to fear and hiding, with "is it safer if I just delete?" worries for their bullying behavior. [<- real situation! I had to speak a friend down from a metaphorical cliff over this!]

This kind of atmosphere does tend to kill a creative drive when someone is just enjoying a Kingdom Hearts fan-ship. I've never personally let these people get to me, but I'll admit I 'fell victim' to drawing for other fandoms and getting kinder commentary and reactions. (That's where I've been! Other fandoms crawled in and took over my mental space since it was kinder to engage in them.) (this also killed my urge to draw for KH at all. Not just the pairing I still love a lot and think of often, but in closed spaces with friends.)

So thank you for this message! It was nice to hear. I don't have any advice for anyone who wants to see more art from artists they love beyond "Support them", even if it's scary. If you support something and want to see more of it, openly support it.

Anyway that's my soapbox adulting for the evening. Thank you for giving me a reason to dust off my shaky skillset for them and draw them again.

[lestappenforever]

My ask is maybe a bit silly, and would probably go in 'sanity check' category. It is about Max, and how he is perceived. If I understand correctly, it is said he is mad max, bad guy, aggressive… and similar. Now, I know teenagers are sometimes a bit crazy, and from what I read he was actually very badly treated by freaking adults, fellow drivers, when he first joined F1, so maybe then he was a bit aggressive, and it would be even understandable… but still it is difficult to even imagine that. Because Max I see (I am only following racing since last year) is nice, soft, funny, polite guy, still more looking like an innocent kid than an adult, even appearing naïve (unlike the sweet, adorable devil that is Charles!), and obviously so nice towards rookies (Oliver and Liam-who himself said it). So am I delusional and see what is not there or for some reason he is so vilified (I guess most coming probably from jealousy and Netflix crap…). Oh and one additional observation, he always looks so much softer and somehow cuddlier and cuter on photos from his streaming at home… What do you think? One final observation, then I will shut up  Sometimes it seems to me that all the Lestappen moments and specila connection maybe come from the fact that when Charles came to F1 Max finally had kinda his person there. Because he went form father abuse to fellow drivers abuse, but when Charles came to F1, he had someone he could have a real relationship with, even if they fought and were a bit sulky almost teenagers still in the beginning, they got over it as they grow up. But Charles is his genuinely healthy, good, fun, friendly relationship. Having spent time as kids growing up of course also deepens the bond and friendship, but also mutual respect and understanding each other’s qualities. I don’t know if explained it well enough… P.S. I LOVE your fics!!!!

Hi anon, and thank you so much for this ask! I don't think it's a silly ask at all.

All these "Mad Max", being too aggressive, being mean claims etc. stem from two things:

1. When Max made it into F1 almost 10(!) years ago, he was 17(!!) years old. He was a kid — a literal child. And he was a cocky, arrogant little shit at that, as any kid would be making their debut in such a prestigious sport at such a young age.

2. Max haters who will hate him forever, no matter what, no matter why. They don't even need a reason; they're just determined to hate him and will do so forever.

But the thing is, and his haters especially seem to love to ignore this fact, Max was seventeen years old when he made his F1 debut. He was, for all intents and purposes, a child. I watched Max make his F1 debut, and I watched and read the way he was viewed and the reception he received from his fellow drivers, the media, and fans alike. And I watched these grown-ass men already on the grid when Max joined welcome him by treating him like shit. These adults were so threatened by this kid who came into the sport without having to go through the same ranks almost every other F1 driver has to go through to get there, such as several years in F3 and F2 (Max only spent a year in F3 and skipped F2 altogether), that they did virtually nothing to make him feel welcome. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was so fucking sad and infuriating, and I lost a lot of respect for many drivers because of it. And if I'm being honest, anon, that's what made me decide Max would be my favorite driver. I can be incredibly spiteful when I want to be, and watching Max get slammed and slandered from so many directions from the very beginning made me want to be very spiteful. That's what made me decide that I was going to support that kid like hell. And I haven’t looked back or regretted it since.

I cannot stress this enough, and I know I've said it so many times before already, but: Max Verstappen was a child when he made it into the world of F1. But he's not a child anymore, which a concerning amount of people seem to be blissfully and willfully ignorant to. Max has grown and matured so much in the years he's been in F1. And, like most other people, Max Verstappen the adult is not the same person as Max Verstappen the teenager, or Max Verstappen the child. And he hasn’t been anything like his 17-year old self in a long, long time. But this, of course, is something his haters will never accept or acknowledge.

I truly believe, from the very bottom of my heart, that Max is always so nice and welcoming towards rookies, always willing to lend a hand or giving them advice, always going out of his way to praise and support them, because practically no one ever did that for him when he was a rookie. And that speaks volumes about his character and the kind of man he has grown into since making his debut.

You're not delusional at all, anon, and having only followed F1 since last year means it's not surprising that you don't see the very outdated and frankly incredibly incorrect persona the people who dislike Max will always keep trying to convince themselves and others is still him. Because it isn’t — not even close. Practically every single person who has worked with or been around Max in the past few years all say the same thing: that he's funny, easy-going, and one of the genuinely kindest people on the grid. And that means a hell of a lot more than the opinions of people who have never and will never know him, and have made it their personal, sad mission to hate him. So you keep holding on to the impression you have of him, anon, because that is a far more accurate representation than the image some people are so hellbent of painting of him. (He’s definitely not naïve, though, not even close.)

And I absolutely agree: he looks even softer and cuddlier when he's streaming at home! I love streamer!Max so much.

"When Charles came to F1 Max finally had kinda his person there". <- You are spot on with this, anon! I've talked about the special bond I think these two share in the past, like in this post, and so have many others. (@tsarinablogs @valyrfia @thearchercore to name a few - highly recommend checking out their blogs if you haven’t already!) It truly seems like they have never, and will never, see any other driver as a big a rival as the other, and the numerous accounts of their karting days from people who got to watch them battle first-hand from such a young age definitely backs up that claim. And I think that's so beautiful, and it's one of the many, many reasons why these two are so dear to me, and why other F1 ships will never be able to come close.

P.S. That makes me so happy to hear, anon, thank you so, so much. 🥹❤️

I ship one of my fav chara (a brown skinned pretty boy) as a top in a ship with a smaller twinkier guy that comes from an imperialist country. Apparently that makes me racist because I'm over masculinizing a brown man. By making him top. I need to clarify that I don't draw, meaning thay all the haters had to go off of was my writing. So was it the "fluffy dark curls," the "piercing blue eyes," or the "small grin that felt more honest than his friendly smiles" that made you think he's overly masculine, hm, anon? Or was it the positions? Would it be better if I reversed it? Probably not, since that would be promoting imperialist domination, right?

>Suddenly remembers that hate anon telling me to shut up about Kokichi haters and their inherit ableism

Haha what a world we live in! Anyway friendly reminder that Kokichi didn't trick Gonta into doing a murder and saying otherwise is very ableist towards Gonta!!!

the insurmountable hate Griffith gets is honestly kinda scary like I absolutely do not have the guts to voice any kind of admiration for him outside of tumblr. have you ever argued with a typical Griffith hater?

Idk, I've gotten into a few contentious discussions over the years and responded to occasional anon hate, but I try to avoid arguments when I can. I'm more about preaching to the choir than trying to change people's minds about a story. It just seems silly to me to argue about fiction (in a heated way, not in a friendly discussion way ofc), and if someone's actively being an asshole because of their take on a fictional story then I'd rather avoid them than talk to them.

And yeah I know what you mean, I'd never want to hang out on reddit or skullknight or any other Berserk fandom hub that isn't right here lol. The typical Berserk fan is so obnoxious and aggressive and who wants to deal with that?
