being a part of both team stan and team craig include

|Reader is GN, characters are about 14 years old here so freshman year of HS, Platonic!Team Stan/Craig x GN!Reader|

❥ Absolute chaos, I don't know what you expected.

❥ Having known both groups since preschool has been both beneficial and horrific. On one hand, if you got someone who won’t leave you alone and/or harassing you, consider they ass dead, all you will see if the person messing with you get dragged by the arms or hair by Craig and Cartman as the rest of the boys follow and you never hear or see that person again.

❥ The only one who can really harass you and get away with it is Cartman, the others, mostly everyone else but Kyle, Tolkien, Butters and Tweek, more so just pick on you for stupid shit. Unless it’s something they really find fucking stupid and want to give you shit for it cuz it’s funny to them cuz teenage boys.

❥ On the other hand, the second you mention that you have a crush or are just in a vulnerable state of mind or emotion, you are absolutely getting shitted on, again mostly by Cartman, but the others will give you shit too about things unless it’s something super serious cuz you’ve stated and proved many times before you will absolutely rock their shit if they say one word.

❥ You made one comment about how you missed your gran who just passed and Jimmy and Kenny felt the need to make one stupid “joke” about it. The whole school didn’t see either of them for a week after that. (Kenny prob died and Jimmy nearly saw the pearly gates, that taught him that some jokes aren’t necessary)

❥ Sleepovers with both gangs are a must considering you’re a part of both groups.

❥ One weekend you spend at Stan’s house or sometimes Kyle’s or Cartman’s with him, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Butters. Those weekends usually consist of a lot of bullying Butters (not that you partake unless it’s something really stupid), Kyle and Cartman arguing and/or Kyle beating the shit out of him while you and Stan just kinda watch him get what he deserves as Kenny laughs his ass off (Butters attempts to stop Kyle but ultimately lets it happen anyway, Eric’s an asshole to him so he had it coming), and lots of video games per Stan and Kyle and takeout because of Cartman’s fatass, not that Kenny is complaining about it.It’s a bit of a stressful and chaotic weekend so when you return home Sunday night, you hideaway in your room to recover from their shenanigans before you see them at school.

❥ I’d say the following weekend when you spend it with Craig and those guys is better but let’s be honest..it’s not, it’s probably just as bad. Some weekends when you get dropped off at Tolkien’s, you’re half minded to just get back in your parents car and go home. These weekends usually consist of lots of chatter and/or outbursts (Tweek) from pretty much everyone but Tolkien, Craig’s probably yapping about red racer or stripe or Tweek, Clyde’s blabbering on about something probably stupid or his relationship with Bebe, Tweek is well…tweaking and/or is clinging to you or Craig, and Jimmy’s probably making repeated stupid jokes if he can get them out that is. You and Tolkien often look at each other like this:

❥ If no one is yapping, y’all are probably screaming as you race in Mario Kart or raging in Mario Party. Clyde’s most likely crying, Jimmy’s in shock, Tolkien and Craig are probably sweating and focused attempting to make a comeback, Tweek is almost losing his mind and you’re just standing or sitting with a shit eating grin on your face as the first place music plays while the rest are still racing or watching whoever is playing or your sitting in first with 9 stars and over 100 coins whilst everyone else is in dead last with one to none since you stole everything else.

❥ Safe to say, you’ve been banned from both games at the sleepovers. You’re okay with that though cuz while everyone else is focused on the games, you’re eating away at the snacks Mrs.Black has brought for y’all, well more so for you considering she seems to favor you over the boys. They’re not too pleased about this lol

❥ Okay so maybe not as bad as sleepovers at Stan’s but still chaotic.

❥ Both groups may be assholes but they have their good sides too. It’s to be expected that you’ll get shit on for something as does everyone in both groups but that doesn’t mean they don’t care about you, you are one of their best friends after all.

❥ Kyle, Tolkien and Butters are always good to go to for someone who’ll listen while you rant and give you advice about something, Kenny, Clyde and Jimmy are good to go to when you could use a hug or some form of affection (Ofc Jimmy can’t do a lot but that won’t stop him from at least using one of his arms to wrap around you and give you a squeeze), Stan and Tweek are unexpectedly good to go to to for a quick but genuine laugh since they can be unintentionally funny, and Cartman and Craig are good to go to when you need to just scream, shout, curse or just rage since they’ll have little reaction or give you a justified reaction to your anger.

❥ Movie nights are constantly a thing as well, like the sleepovers you do one weekend with Stan’s group and the next with Craig’s, you told them from the beginning that you wouldn't ever do the whole “spend a majority of time with one group and very little with the other.” You were friends with both groups and would spend an even amount of time with both. Some of the boys complained about it in the beginning but eventually came around after seeing how well it worked.

❥ You had seen how jealousy worked within both groups and decided it was best to avoid anyone getting jealous because someone else’s group got more time while the other group didn’t.

❥ But one weekend, you had tried getting both groups together to do one big movie night all together since it was so rare for both groups to get along enough to do something together and thought it would be easier to gather at yours. Yeah you never did that again after that weekend, it was more than you had bargained for and after only 2 hours of everyone being at yours, you snapped at them all and sent them all away and back home because no one could agree on anything or get along (Stan and Tolkien nearly got physical cuz Stan was instigating, Craig was threatening to choke Kenny out because he wouldn’t shut up, Clyde and Kyle were almost screaming at each other over movie choices, Cartman was calling Jimmy derogatory names, and Butters and Tweek were honestly just hiding in the other room to avoid the fighting but you coulda swore Tweek had to have bitten or hit Butters when you heard Butters scream ow).

❥ In the end, you ended up calling Wendy and the girls over to watch movies with you instead because the boys had been so much that they nearly pushed you to tears with their fighting.

❥ By the end of the first movie alone, your phone had been blowing up with calls, texts, and even emails from the guys all trying to apologize for ruining the night you worked so hard for just for them to ruin it all.

❥ Safe to say, it took at least 2 months for you to even acknowledge any of them as your friends after that so lesson learned.

❥ Overall, you love your friend groups but jesus christ they have some problems but nonetheless they’re special to you, even if some days you want to just kill them all.

I will say that for Donnie’s characterization, I think it comes from a place of not knowing how to identify the line between his autism and his personality, and a difficulty with portraying the balance between those things influencing each other.

“Donnie is autistic, but this isn’t all he is” and “Donnie’s autism influences the way he views the world, and thus influences his character” aren’t mutually exclusive. In the case of flattening his character into the apathetic, flat “bad boy” persona, I think this one is actually from a bit of ableism—albeit unintentional.

Donnie is low empathy; this is something that is related to his autism. However, despite this being TRUE, he’s not LIMITED to this. Donnie is low empathy, but Donnie’s personality is someone who is deeply loyal to his loved ones, someone who loves to show his affection through his work (and the intertwining of his special interest and how he shows affection to his family is another example of this intersection!!). By assigning all of his actions to just a quirk of personality, you’ve left yourself with contradictory pieces of character—and some parts of it that are just easier to leave out entirely.

And on the other side, Donnie being rude and sarcastic isn’t necessarily because of his low empathy, either. Because Leo is also these things—and it’s… his personality. Donnie is rude and sarcastic because it’s a bit, and it’s funny, and he plays the straight man in his family dynamic. He loves playing around with his family as much as they like messing with him! By doing this, we’ve gone the other extreme of assigning all his traits to his autism, and leaving out the potential of him being a person with his own sense of humor and personality.

TLDR; it’s hard to dive into the intricacies of characters, especially ones who have disabilities. You have to balance the extent of the influence the disability has on the personality of the character. A lot of times it’s easier to flatten someone into one end or the other, and that’s partly why we have an Emotionless Donnie pandemic.

^^^^^^ yeah i agree with this as well!! i mostly hesitate to accuse it of being ableism because i dont want to accuse a lot of well-intentioned people, especially those who are neurodivergent because fandom is a very nd-heavy space, of doing something like that, i just think its a folly of getting caught into fandom archetypes and then either staying there or overcorrecting in a way that is similarly exhausting, implicit bias is just a difficult thing to understand and call out in yourself even if youre the afflicted group youre applying this behavior to, and i really dont want to just be hostile to people who mean well

but GOD it pisses me off more than it probably should. the weird donnie sidelining in the fandom has actually destroyed a lot of my enjoyment of leo to an extent im a little embarrassed to admit, i cannot IMAGINE how raph and mikey stans must feel

Thoughts combining two of three of my biggest interests rn

Isat x Gravity falls (note I’m role swapping, but if the roles had romance between them please note that it’s platonic now. Like the people in the Isa and Sif roles aren’t being shipped. Likewise, if I put someone in the gravity falls roles and they are being shipped I don’t ship those GF characters necessarily.)

Anyway, GF characters in isat roles

Siffrin -> Mabel. Her whole thing is that she doesn’t want to lose the people she loves and she tries to hold onto them, accidentally causing the apocalypse. Sounds VERY similar to Sif’s whole deal tbh. Mabel is also someone who acts as the ‘funny jokes person’ in her group, similarly to Siffrin, and controversy i’d say it’s a bit of a protective layer for both of them. Also the way Siffrin’s loops works and how he almost seems to crave them near the end and how Mabel was in the bubble can be parallels. Do you see the vision???

Odile-> Dipper. OK HEAR ME OUT!!! I know you’re going ‘no Ford would be Odile!!!’ WRONG! First of all, no Dipper is scrappy in a way Odile is and Ford isn’t (Ford is badass and kinda unhinged but he’s not ‘scrappy’ even when going insane). Also Dipper is generally more pessimistic and less gullible than Ford. Dipper and Odile are both people with a thirst for knowledge who don’t like not knowing things. Both these characters have a clear ambition, but are similarly grounded in how much they CARE. Also Ford could never pull off the sus quest, but I think Dipper could 100%. Also also Dipper and Odile are doing the same type of shenanigans to me (-awkward teen boy things).

Isabeau-> Stan. Hmmmmmmmmm…. Changing everything about yourself until the old you is dead because you hate yourself? Being too much of a coward to communicate with the people you love despite them meaning everything to you? Refusing to acknowledge how smart you are and acting dumb (well ok this one is a stretch because Stan actually thinks he’s stupid, but he TAUGHT HIMSLEF TO REBUILD THE PORTAL???? FORD needed BILLS help for that! Ofc Stan had some of Fords notes, but like…. He taught himslef complex physics to PUNCH A HOLE IN REALITY. I think it applies.)? Yeah Isa and Stan are weirdly good parallels.

Mirabelle-> Ford. I’m mostly relating him to Mira becaus Sif the way he felt like he was solely responsible for killing Bill weighed on him. This isn’t the most 1-1, but Mira is someone who is different from her peers. She follows a belief of change while being the most aroace autistic invidual ever who wants to stay the same execpt she gets to be a scholar and learn everything. OK FORD. Also I think if the Change God pulled a Bill Cipher on her she would also become a Sci-Fi hero and go try to fucking kill it, Ty <3

Bonnie-> Pacifica? Sorry the pines family is four members and none of them except maybe Mabel fit into the Bonnie slot, and Maybel is better as Sif to me. They could theoretically be Soos or Wendy who sometimes get added but none of them give Bonnue vibes and also if you have one you need the other.

Loop-> I so BADLY want to say Dippy Fresh…. so I will. Loop is Dippy fresh, fuck you. (Created from a wish of an alternate Mabel wishing that somewhere she had company while going isane? For a Dipper that understood the Loops? Idk.) OR MAYBE!!!! Anti-Mabel????? Alternatively she’s ‘Shooting Star’ (Mabel in a loop situation)

King-> Bill. Do I need to explain this? Pathetic horrible guys who have sympathetic backstories but are sopping wet assholes

Change-> axolotl

Ships from Shows I Like That I Support/Do Not Support and Why! :33

Ramshackle

I SUPPORT: "Skipp x Stone" (Skipping Stone)

Because Skipp and Stone seem like a really cute duo, and it kind of reminds me of the "Squidward x SpongeBob" ship.

And given the headcanon sexualities I have, Skipp is very affectionate, while Stone doesn't have half of it, which I find kind of funny!

I DON'T SUPPORT: "Vinnie x Ditch"

I don't do a whole lot of digging into "Ramshackle" lore for now, but based on "The Other Side" animatic from a few years ago, Ditch just seems toxic and manipulative, and I'm not a huge fan of it sort of trope.

Plus, I find Vinnie wanting to be single for awhile. I don't think she's really desperate to be in a relationship.

Heartstopper

I SUPPORT: "Nick x Charlie" (Narlie), "Tara x Darcy" and "Tao x Elle"

For "Nick x Charlie"... well, it should be pretty obvious. They care for each other, they're affectionate, healthy, and very active during long-distance.

For the two other ships, they're both just really cute and healthy, I don't care if it's unrealistic for all the ships to be healthy, but I couldn't give less of a fuck.

I DON'T SUPPORT: "Imogen x Sahar"

I know a lot of supporters of this ship are gonna attack me for this opinion, but if you actually pay attention to the show, it seems kind of toxic. Like, Imogen stopped talking to Sahar for basically a YEAR because Imgoen was 'in love' with a boy, and still seems pretty mad at her from the end of S2 to mid-S3, and if you actually look at the times when they kiss and whatnot, something always goes wrong, and it's mostly Imogen's popular-ass fault (I'm not a Imogen hater, I promise), and I just like them better as friends.

Plus, it showcases more queer people in the friend group to be single, and that it's okay to be that. (In which the opposite is basically a huge rule in the show that I don't really enjoy :p)

South Park

I SUPPORT: "Stan x Kyle" (Style) and "Kenny x Butters" (Bunny)

For "Stan x Kyle", from the clips I've seen online, Stan seems to be really nice to Kyle in more ways than one, and they seem really friendly to be each other most of the time, and it feels more than a friendship, and I kind of headcanon that it'll grow more into a romantic relationship by late High School.

For "Kenny x Butters", from what I've heard people say, they seem to be really good friends, and based on that oen clip where Butters calls out everyone's shitty personalities, and says "The only one with the sense of diginity around here is KENNY"... I rest my case.

I DON'T SUPPORT: "Kyle x Cartman" (Kyman)

I feel like the people who support this ship haven't actually seen the show. Cartman is literally racist, sexist, homophobic, disrepectful, dirty, vulgar, and evil in very way possible 99.9% of the time, while Kyle literally beats Cartman's ass because of these traits. Plus, Cartman literally makes fun of Kyle's religon (Jewish) and hair color (Ginger) in some episodes with little to no remorse.

And while I like some of the fanart, I really, REALLY don't support this ship.

The Amazing Digital Circus

I SUPPORT: "Pomni x Ragatha" and "Ponmi x Gummigoo"

While I support the "Pomni x Ragatha" ship on the more cuddling and affection side, I still think this ship sounds like a good idea, considering how nice Ragatha is towards Pomni while she adjusts to life in the Circus, and Pomni being somewhat stable about everything that goes on around her.

For "Pomni x Gummigoo"... I can really see it. Although it's more of a friendship in the beginning, the vibe the two gave off to each other in E4 is what kind of sold me for the ship (Plus a lot of other people supporting it)

I DON'T SUPPORT: "Zooble x Gangle", "Pomni x Jax" and "Ragatha x Jax"

For "Zoobie x Gangle", while the vibe that they gave off during E4 did hint some romantic shipping for me, I mostly just see it as a caring friendship rather than a romantic. For "Pomni x Jax", I just don't ship it, cause I don't see them being a healthy couple, and some the content farming ruined it even more.

For "Ragatha x Jax", it's basically the same reasons as for "Kyman". They hate each other.

(I'm not trying to attack anyone who's a fan of these ships, this is just my personal opinion so please don't attack me)

[pineappleciders]

Can you do sp main 4 with a reader who is trans mtf?? I really like your ftm one and since my sister is trans mtf she would love to read this x

sp main 4 finding out reader is trans mtf

A/N: i am so glad you liked it and i hope your sister likes this too!!!! i know this is really similar to the ftm one mainly because i dont think they'd react too differently! link to ftm vers here

also i wanted to add that i usually write with a fem reader differently than a g/n or masc reader!! mostly because they're like 4th graders and the whole girls vs boys thing. so i'm sorry if they're... colder??? idk how to describe it😭

stan marsh

he's just like "oh" in a surprised voice

doesn't really care but might ask a few,,, personal questions. he's genuinely curious and he doesn't mean harm. asks about what it means and why you transitioned

"how did you find out? like what does it feel like?"

he might encourage you to talk to wendy and the girls if you haven't become friends with them already! he says this because he knows it'd probably be nice for you to hang out with other girls so they can dress you up and help you feel like you fit in

also puts in a good word to wendy for you and u two become friends :)

again you coming out might make him question his own gender. he just gets really confused because he's never had the chance to explore himself and having a trans friend makes him more comfortable to do so!!

might ask you questions at first about how you found out, but other than that he just treats you like how he normally does; probably forgets that you're trans if anything

kyle broflovski

kyle never really hangs out with girls in the first place, the closest girl friends he has being you and sometimes wendy. he is very awkward around girls .

so you don't have to worry about him treating you like more of a bro after you come out, because he doesn't. if he were to treat you any differently he would treat you like more of a girl if anything if that makes sense

like he doesn't mean to exclude you but he figures it'd make you feel better to not be grouped with the boys??

"yeah, i get that. sometimes i feel like i was made to be a tall black man. it's really hard to play basketball as a 4'3" jewish white boy."

mostly, he doesn't really care, and he probably actually would prefer not to hear you talk about it. like i mean he prefers to not hear about 'assigned genders' because it makes him think of genitalia and honestly he does not like to think about that

so yeah, he's a little confused but he tries his best to understand, and he might be appreciative that you opened up about it, but for the most part he's just like "good for you" and moves on

eric cartman

similar to the ftm one, since he's known you as a girl all this time that no matter how hard he wants to misgender you he never truly sees you as anything other than a girl

he'll call you names and tease you for it but at the end of the day he still sees you as a cootie-ridden girl

he kicks you out of games because 'girls can't play games' and the others say you can play and he gets all pissy

he shoos you away at lunch not because you're trans but because you're a girl. he would rather be caught dead than hanging out with a chick. so in a way he's kind of accidentally an ally LOL

he gets uncomfortable when the topic gets brought up and would prefer not to think about it. he genuinely wants to stay out of it because he does NOT want to know what people have down under. absolutely hates thinking about it

"dude, i already live in a hot dog. i don't need to have any more wieners in my face."

kenny mccormick

he looks at you funny all confused.

"mph, nmph? mphph? (wait, what? really?)"

"mmphmph, mph mphph mmf mmphh.. (jesus, dude, i never would've guessed.)"

he's genuinely really confused because all the stereotypes of trans girls he's seen on tv and they all depict them looking super masculine and stuff. he's never really met a trans person so he's confused when you're just some normal kid

he's supportive, but he doesn't really care. he pats you on the back and says cool and then goes back to like. playing mario kart or whatever you guys were doing

he doesn't know anything about what it means so he might ask some questions about what dysphoria is and transitioning and all that. he will listen genuinely but he might fall asleep. he actually does care though!!!

thinks it's interesting but never brings it up again or talks about it and treats you like normal. honestly he would be very happy to play princesses with you as princess kenny

you have sleepovers and he acts all girly. like you do his hair and nails and dress him up and he kicks his feet having the time of his life

[sugarushwriting]

Hello! Introduction Q&A:

I am a new STAY, part of the stray kids fandom! I used to write fanfictions when I was younger (back in 2012-2013 until 2018), and those fanfictions were about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez (Jelena). Once they ended, I stopped writing all together. 

Q: When did you first start writing?

A: Honestly, third grade. I wrote a short story about my stuffed animals going to school. Since then, I’ve always loved writing and English, but it wasn’t until sometime in high school I realized I really liked to write!

Q: When did you become a STAY?

A: Early May 2024, so yes, I am a BABY stay. I am still learning about the boys everyday!

Q: What made you become a STAY?

A: Honestly, their personalities! I’ve heard their songs before, and recognized their talent. I was first introduced (heavily) to K-Pop from XG (although not K-Pop), and LeSserafim is really the reason I stayed to like K-pop. Since, it’s always been girl groups that I was captivated by and I would listen to guy groups here and there. Jungkook really was the first male artists of K-pop that I really enjoyed thoroughly with his Golden Album. When I saw SK at the Met Gala, something in me changed and I went down a rabbit hole! I first watched funny compilations of them before diving into their music and (un)helpful guides.

Q: Who is your bias and bias wrecker?

A: Each of the 8 members wreck me all the time. But ultimately, it’s Bangchan and LeeKnow because they are closer to me in age (I am 6 months older than Bangchan). LeeKnow has 3 cats and loves them, which instantly connected with me as I have 2 cats and am a cat lover myself. Although any can be my bias wrecker at any given moment, lately it’s been Han and Seugmin the most. 

Q: Which Stray Kids songs are your favorite?

A: Drive, Easy, Surfin, Taste, LALALA, Red Lights, FAM

Q: What type of content will you be writing? 

A: Short stories (I will try to keep them 5-15 chapters), one shots (maybe), random thoughts I have. Mostly romance, I have some mystery/horror type plans too.

Q: How old are you? 

A: 27!

Q: Tell us a little more about you?

A: My MBTI is INFJ, I have 2 cats, I love working with children, I am currently a practicing Social Worker, and I am from Kentucky!

Q: What girl groups do you stan?

A: XG, Itzy, LeSserafim, Twice, Aespa, NewJeans, Blackpink, G(Idle), Soon to be - NMIXX, Babymonster, BIBI (solo), Kiss of LIfe, and Badvillian.

Q: Biases in each of those GG groups?

A: XG (Juria + Maya), Itzy (Lia + Yeji + Chaeryeong), LeSserafim (Sakura + Kazuha + Eunchae), Twice (MISAMO + Nayeon), Aespa (Ningning), NewJeans (Hanni + Haerin), Blackpink (Jisoo + Rose), G-idle (Miyeon + Soyeon).

Soon to Be - NMIXX (Sullyoon + Lily), Babymonster (ASA + Ruka), Kiss of Life (Haneul + Julie), Badvillian (Kelly + Vin).

Q: Any other boy groups you are close to stanning?

A: TXT, RIIZE

Q: Do you watch K-DRAMA?

A: YES! My Demon and Destined with You are my top favorites. 

[catnatch]

i am asking about YOUR souyo aus... as many or as little but i want to know

i do have many evil machinations.... many of my aus can be found here, so i'll mostly just talk about ones i haven't posted about much (if at all) and i will start off my post similarly to yours.....

>idol au the unique selling point of MY idol au is just that they're in kpop and not jpop (since i know a lot more about the former LMAO) but also cos i love the thought of them being isolated from the rest of the group (even though they get along), getting homesick but they have each other and maybe that's home enough... also stans would go CRAZY for j-line. the moodmaker master of aegyo with killer dance moves? the brainy center who looks icy cool but is actually extremely dorky?? it's no surprise they're so popular 🤩

>dnd au very simple au where souji is dungeon master of a campaign yosuke is doing. this would be in college and i think the most interesting angle would be that the events of p4 didn't happen and they met for the first time at college- maybe friendly-ish acquaintances before yosuke got roped into the campaign. i have put no further thought into what the campaign entails or how the rest of the gang is involved; all i know is that yosuke's character starts off a side story that introduces an npc that reoccurs, souji fleshing out the character as the semester goes on. yosuke gets REALLY invested in their storyline and relationship and (he's a very sensitive boy) falls in love with souji via his character falling in love with the npc

i also have an in-universe dnd au but that thought has not gone further than yosuke the satyr sorcerer and yu the human paladin lol

>angel? au this one i actually haven't thought about much cos the germ of it only appeared the other day but.... i had the thought of oh good omens souyo au. but then i was like, i love yosuke as just a normal ass guy so it changed to angel!souji coming down to earth to learn about these funny lil creatures called humans and yosuke (accidently) shows him the beauty in the mundane and ofc souji falls in love....

>third semester au this one is more background souyo- yosuke's feelings about souji driving the events. anyway. so yosuke and souji are kinda? (they didn't properly talk about it) aware that they have feelings for each other but they've.... stalled. maybe it's the long distance maybe something else but they are Not together. but now yosuke is aware that yeah, i'm into dudes (in my yosuke extended universe he also approaches the fact he's been chasing a boy's attention several times in his life) OKAY THAT'S THE SETUP- the plot is that yosuke is still doing part time at Junes and there's this new part timer (a guy a couple years older than yosuke) who is just. really cool. really really cool. cut to the chase they do end up sleeping together and it's all super casual- and this guy isn't taking advantage of yosuke, he's genuinely into him- but yosuke is still having a dilemma about what it means for/about him (and maybe souji visits during all this heheh)

>future aus i've posted about these here before but I don't think i've posted my summary of the three branches of possibilities on tumblr before so

i've put the most thought into the middle branch (aka my indie darling au), but if we were to see yosuke and yu again I'd like it to be close to the first one 🙏

>shadow re(union) au nothing new but i think this one would be the best candidate to be an actual fic..... i would like to read it.........

[httaod]

Yeah, I just pointed to all of you

I rambled too much in the other one, time to get serious!

First of all, the star of the show, the man himself, the goober, raw vikingsness contained in just one- Oh wait that last part was Astrid-

Anyway, Hiccup. We stan an uncomfy king.

Autism. Not extremely super much is gonna change, but due to incredibly self-indulgent reasons, my mans is gonna get another scoop of the tism ice creme. I really wanna dig into the alienation and isolation that's going to linger in his bones still, really shovel into that sense of self, how he fears he'll return to who he used to be without Toothless, coming to accept and embrace that version of himself, that his deeds don't determine his worth. The fear of not being useful enough after only getting praise after doing something grand, learning how to just be and finding out who he really wants to be, how to carve his own space somewhere

Leading Berk, look, mans loves Berk and he does a very good job, but in this version we're gonna let him explore what it is he actually wants to do, having Hiccup make space for himself as the scrunkly dragon boy or the genuis engineer instead of just Hiccup the Son of the Chief and Future Chief himself. Lots of finding yourself, trying things and noticing maybe they're not right for you or maybe they are and you just needed to look at other things to be sure. (I'm fairly certain he does a lot of finding himself in RttE, but we're currently only at Season 1 and I need that series to shovel coal into my hyperfixation train when the fuel gets low ok, so we're just gonna have to deal)

This is getting too long again, this was supposed to be a list of bullet points, frigglesnaggle, ok Hiccup centric post and cut and dry bullet points next and I'll just slowly elaborate over time

People are gonna be a bit nicer..? Talking about Movie 3 specifically. I mean we're gonna try and dig into those relationships a bit more anyway, though mostly the series I've seen so far have done a pretty funky job of making the characters bond and I'd like to have that reflected in the story. Gimme group hug friends who geniuenly like each other and work together like a well oiled machine heck yeee

How do we handle dragons? That's a topic I find really interesting for Hiccup, especially faced with Drago and Grimmel. There's definitely gonna be some 'trust vs control', and I really want us to dig into the topic of dragon trappers. Mans has his work cut out for him. But looking at how he could attempt to mediate and educate others and how to deal with those refusing to play nice is gonna be interesting to look at at more than surface level

I'm starting to lose sight of what I actually wanted to talk about, so here's some funny Hiccups to distract you, while I comply to the whims of fate my brain and write a cut and dry bullet point list

Ah yes. And he gets ear piercings because I'm a hoe, k bye

It's the 12th of October which means that today the birthday letters by your one and only are coming back 😌

Today, we're going to celebrate a hare. He's, you read it correctly, it's a hare's day today. An artic hare one, to be exact.

Happy birthday Ivan 🥳

As always, here's the collage I made for him today 🥺

Ah please, look at how adorable and cute he is 😭

Even with the memes he's a cutie patootie 🥺

The only thing that maybe I should explain is why I choose the pics with Dann instead of others but the reason is mostly that I loved these two pics in general 😅

They've been made during the first era I "witnessed" as a fan and seeing both my biases like this made me weak a little 😭

I don't need to explain any further, it's time for the letter now.

Ok, starting a letter for Ivan is not that simple to me. Actually every letter for every member is hard to write for me, because I'm always scared to write the same things other fans wrote but it's not the time to speak about this.

Ivan is the first Kingdom member who got my eye. Yes, I'm blunt this time. If I got into The Kingdom and I became so invested about them (even though I don't post that often about them right now but I SWEAR I'm still invested in them, trust me) it's because of Ivan. And also their music but Ivan is the final button, you know? The one who made me stan them.

Now, if I should explain how it happened, as always, the answer will be very complicated. If we're talking about his own album during HOK, I must say that his album has always been pretty high on my own top, although it's not in the top 3 (there are three other albums that just rotate and change their positions depending on my mood, before Ivan's. I'm a very complicated person), and Black Crown has been one of those epic songs that perfectly made what I wanted and craved for the group.

But it's not what caught my eye no. What caught my eye was how Ivan was acting on the MV. Seeing that young boy, looking even more younger than the others, with an almost ethereal look, staring in front of the camera with eyes full of rage and even hate, if you squint a little, was what caught me. Ivan was born to play the villain, the fascinating one, the one who has the same if not more fans than the protagonist. Sure, later we discovered that his character is more like an anti-hero but gosh, the goosebumps I got from Black Crown will never leave me when I see the MV again.

And his voice...oh my gosh his voice, don't let me speak about it or I'll cry. I know that he has been insecure at first, hence why he got few lines in the first songs, but MY GOSH now when he uses it I'm feeling a lot of emotions. You have no idea how I felt when he manages to publish his first cover ever. I was so proud and feeling emotional, both for the song's choice but also because he made it. He finally made it, he showcased his voice in the best way he could and I approved it with my entire heart.

But wait, I know you're wondering if I like his personality off stage too, hehe. But the answer will be obvious: yes. Sometimes I wonder if I have a magnet or something because some of my biases always end up being the ones who say the most unhinged and funny things ever. And Ivan is one of them. Every time The Kingdom does a variety show content, there's a high percentage that Ivan will say something so unhinged that I'll end up smiling like an idiot. Or laughing like an idiot, it depends, haha.

But what I love the most is how he goes at parks. Whether it's an amusement park, a botanic garden or something else, Ivan always shows his best side. He's always excited, he always wants to try new things, even the scariest ones, he's always happy and, even when he doesn't get what he wants like the plushies in the claw machine, he always lets that rage off of him quickly. He always shows his true happiness through his smiles and sometimes I notice how he's incredibly gentle, whether in manners or how he speaks with Kingmakers through the camera. All of this is something that I truly love.

Dear Ivan, I think you noticed by this letter that I really wish the best for you. If I became a Kingmaker it's especially for you, I wouldn't be in this fandom if your way to interpret a character never caught my eyes (or maybe yes but probably I wouldn't have been this invested, hahaha). There have been moments where I rooted for you as if you were part of my family and, sometimes, I saw you as a little brother doing his best for finding his place in the world. Maybe it's my big sister side talking right now, but, even if I'm far away, I'm always cheering for you and hoping for the best for you.

My birthday wish for you is that this year you'll always find new places to explore and find excitement while visiting them. I hope you'll go to many amusement parks with the others and you'll have fun. I hope I can see that wonderful and beautiful smile of yours, truly one of a kind. And that you'll keep being a kind and gentle soul, like I know you are.

Happy birthday, my arctic hare 🐇❄️

I think BTS are gonna get trotted out for a world tour the moment they're all discharged. That's probably one major step of their master plan for paying off their debts along with the hundred different merch they're selling.

Also I have no idea for sure but everyday I feel more sure that JK's contract with Hybe is less advantageous than Jimin's which is why they will invest a lot more on him compared to Jimin but JK probably thinks it's better for him in the long term if he explodes as a so-called global pop star. It's the same way these music labels (incl but not limited to Hybe) spend tons of money promoting their nugu groups and neglect their veteran groups because groups with > 7 years under their belt tend to have way more lucrative contracts for it's members so the label is more focused on phasing them out than carrying on with them. Armys used to complain at length about this when new jeans used to release too. The parallels in the arguments between pjms and jjks and those between armys and kpop stans about the difference in privileges like playlisting is almost funny. Especially considering pjms are usually former armys and jjks are mostly kpop stans

This is an older ask. Sorry for the delay. I'm trying to catch up.

The big question is, can HYBE stay liquid until the members return from military service and have time to rehearse for their world tour? Assuming they do stay afloat that long, what are the terms of BTS' contract? If the members played their cards right, let's hope they get at least 50/50. Will the proceeds from a concert tour be enough to keep the company in the black? And what's the plan for the tour? Will HYBE work them to the bone they way they do with other boy groups? Will the members even tolerate a long tour? So many questions, so few answers.

As much as I dislike TMIKpop, this tweet explains so much about why Korean record labels are constantly debuting one new group after another, rather than investing in and nurturing the careers of more established groups.

And I totally agree with you about JK's solo contract. How is he making any money off of Seven/Golden when he has no writing or producing credits? Is he expected to pay off the marketing costs like most artists? If so, he'll be in debt forever. Doesn't it seem he's made a Faustian bargain where Bang PD and Scooter are the devil(s)?

Chapter 2 has been so eye opening. Jungkook is definitely not the musical genius the company, and sadly the members, have pumped him up to be. As you said, his association with Scooter and BSH probably feels like his best option if he wants to be a huge global pop star (barf). I'm sorry, but he's got a long road ahead because he's a very average singer by American standards, plus he brings nothing to the table in terms of creativity or artistic direction. It's like his solo career was underwritten by the Make-a-Wish Foundation (no offense to the kids who benefit from that organization).

Jimin is smart! Slow and steady wins the race. Between his endorsement deals and his writing/producing credits, I hope he's making some serious money. I'll never understand why he didn't get writing credits on WHO, though. Jon Bellion wouldn't have written that song on his own - Jimin was the brains behind the concept. Perhaps Jimin not having writing credits was part of the deal with JB? I could see BSH pushing for Jimin to give up writing credit in order to suck up to the major players in the western music industry.

Some people don’t like 2Doc because it hits too close to home in terms of abuse they’ve suffered from and they’ve seen too many stans defend or downplay the abuse, much like people have in their own lives, which is valid, although it’s worth thinking about how the early depictions of it were meant to be slapstick and funny, not something that would slide by today. However, others still are guilty of seeing 2D as nothing but a sweet, innocent boy who is nothing but a victim, not helped by recent canon depictions…in reality, I think you can point to character flaws and traits that have nothing to do with Murdoc, especially before D-Day. Not that that excuses Murdoc, of course! And not helping matters is a lack of a consistent trajectory for Murdoc, even after he claims to have changed…

And it should go without saying that your portrayal of 2Doc is absolutely marvellous. I enjoy seeing more of your writing, when you’re able to, of course!

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'll start by saying thank you! I think I underestimated my ability to juggle multiple projects at once. But I'm happy with my current pace.

As to you previous paragraph, yeah. There are many valid reasons for someone to dislike and scrutinize 2Doc. I blame the slapstick point on Gorillaz, honestly, because they've never done a good job at making a distinction between what's slapstick and what's meant to be taken seriously. I might even argue that one shouldn't depict any slapstick when one of the characters is an abuser and the other character is the person they're abusing, but I also think most situations can be depicted effectively when the writer is competent. And Gorillaz isn't.

And you're right, some fans can go from one extreme to another. There are people who completely downplay the concerns other fans have about the unhealthy elements of 2Doc. Then there are other fans who have trouble depicting or acknowledging any flaws in 2D's character because they worry that doing so might make others think they're excusing Murdoc which is... kind of myopic. 2D can be a flawed person while also being an abuse victim. Murdoc can also be a flawed person while also being an abuse victim. Their layers are what make them so interesting.

IMO there are two major elements at play - the shift towards more watered down, people-pleasing media and to a lesser extent, Gorillaz' shitty writing that's also trying to be as palatable as possible. The former worsens the latter. Gorillaz writing has always been mostly shitty, but since companies realized that they could profit off of really familiar, formulaic stories (I'm thinking Marvel, all the re-boots, etc). It's become what a significant number of people are used to and want, and it worsens people's ability to consider nuance. And this is the group that Gorillaz writing tries to appeal to these days despite their history.

Spends over an hour talking to my buddy about comics once he finished Loki finally and sent me a meme to fucking talk shit on the poetry boys LMFAO

Casually writes a novel on comic blorbos.......

Jer brought up a really neat point and we kinda went off on like... both our experiences with Marvel comics and how they have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot with their fucking retcons and shit. Mostly like, in terms of it weirdly kinda... detracts from characters and maybe bits and pieces people related to? For me it was what drew me INTO dynamics of characters at times?

Now, I haven't touched a comic in almost 10 years so... anything that happened from the Marvel NOW! launch and forward is a mystery to me, and I'm ignorant on [to preface this long ass post...] Also my memory is spotty.

Also possibly spoilers for the new season if you haven't caught up on Loki :v so yaknow. IF YOU READ THIS AND CARE...

Jer and I were talking about the basis of the show really kinda became like how can we take this fan favorite character, let him have some emotional depth, maybe have some friends and do some fucky stuff with it. LETS GET WEIRD WITH IT??

It kinda harkens back to themes that made me ultimately fall in love with Deadpool comics, and reminds me of why I dropped reading his stuff too. I'll circle back to this lol.

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a huge sucker for a found family, and I'm a bigger sucker for characters defeating fate or the narrative. I'm big on the best friend/possible romantic option of a character that sees what an absolute dumpster fire next to a textile factory someone is, and still thinks there's something good in there.

I find it funny how much I couldn't STAND the hype of Loki as a character as long as he's been in the MCU because my experience with him has always been comics/cartoons and him being a little HOO HOO HEE HEE gremlin of a bastard. Just HATED him. Excellent MCU costume designs though.

The movies he's just a little weasel of a backstabbing bastard, and I find him annoying. Like yes, I see there's emotional trauma in EVERYTHING that makes his background aside from his mother, and yes I get the narrative of him as a villain etc - but I don't feel compelled by it, personally. That's just me though - I'm FASCINATED by people that are civil minded stans and can argue for why he's fascinating. But also, how much of that is personal projection too?

When I was getting into comics, the Siege event was going on so Loki's face was everywhere in like...2010?? So many teeth... And he was KILLED, and they started doing the Kid Loki stuff and I read a little bit of that because two of my RP friends in the Avenger's group I was in - and it was neat! Then in like 2014 they started doing... what was it, Agent of Asgard? That was....something. I never read it but it was interesting to see them make a workaround for them to kinda...breathe new life into a character people were getting into again!

NEAT STUFF, THAT'S NEAT TO ME!! I LOVE A REVAMP LIKE THAT!! I like the Marvel theme of escaping your reputation. I love that theme. It's like what they did with Evan, the uh Kid Apocalypse. I adore the whole aftermath of Uncanny X-Force for that - Evan just...fucking destined to be Apocalypse and fucking he's so DETERMINED NOT TO BE, and to learn his powers etc. I'm pretty sure he became... Genesis? And died fighting... ;; big sigh... at least he proved his worth, right?

But Jer and I talking about all this kinda made me sad too because we were discussing sort of the way Marvel can take an unlikeable bastard, and with the right handling, they can get something REALLY interesting with it!!

When I first got into Deadpool like...2011 or something I did it because I was annoyed seeing him everywhere and thought 'Surely there's more to him than fart and ass jokes?' and I was right, thankfully.

But I'd also spend a lot of time slogging through a lot of shit, and seeing him kind of BECOME only fart and ass jokes... Like, the movies are fun and stuff, I guess but... I honestly can't stand them very much. But that's me, if people enjoy them? Okay, tight. But also like Daniel Way just, OOF.

Interesting parallel - kinda made it click in place WHY I think I've been enjoying the Loki show. Like, when I picked up Deadpool I SLOGGED through the Joe Kelly run, which is just Wade being a little self-depreciating soggy, abusive and shitheaded person really. Hiding behind his paper bag over his face, excusing his actions because shit sucks - like just kind of a shitty awful and exhausting person overall. WOE!!! A piece of shit! And I get some of the shit that happens to him outside the OBVIOUS is fucky - but I don't know, it was kinda relentless. I feel like even when life deals you all lemons, there's still something in there to tell storywise to curb just the ONSLAUGHT of oh wow poor me... Can you tell I don't enjoy this run of comics? LMAO

But as you get through that, you start to get side comics that kinda do a bit more to polish him up. He's a jerk, and he's sensitive to how fucked up his face looks, but he isn't a wet feral animal ALL the time? He's just rude. Really rude. Random. We start to grasp OOOH IT'S AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE TO COVER SHIT WITH JOKES... man, I can relate to that haha HAHAHHA....

I got into reading Cable & Deadpool because my friend Johnly was HUGE into Xmen and it seemed inevitable to get into it... but it was well written and drawn and like... I'm married to it as my favorite comic. Those are my boys. Those are my besties. That's the comic ship I didn't ask for and I got it. That's the bromance/romance I go up to bat for. Any capacity - those are the BOYS. MY SONS.

It's my favorite trope; I've seen your worst, and I still think there's good in you. You just need someone in your corner.

FUCKING SCREAMS. Even still, in a non-shipping way that's my fucking duo DYNAMIC. You will sell me so often on ANYTHING with that.

When Cable and Deadpool came around, it rolled in after the Agent X comic, which gave us like a 'Clone' of Deadpool who had a WHOLE ENTOURAGE OF FRIENDS like a rag tag bunch of misfits who were a very unconventional FOUND FAMILY. Wade was still a fucking dick, a bastard a lot of times - but his friends saw value in him and stuck around still. Even ones he was recently a demon to, like...man.

And even more so; when Nate pulls the dick move of sacrificing himself, he had that support network of friends there for him to process that, because it hurts no matter how you see their relationship. That was his best friend. It hit hard.

It hits hard especially because Nate and him start out moral enemies. Wade hates him because he's holier than thou, and Nate hates him because he's a nuisance, he's a mercenary - there's a laundry list tbh. Untrustworthy. He's scum! The closer they keep rotating around one another - or into eachother even jfc - they start to tolerate one another, and start to talk more, and Nate starts to really talk about how Wade could do better and be better. Wade starts to see value in himself more, he's still sharp tongued with Nate, but he starts to also be a bit softer with him, joke around and sees value in HIM and what he's trying to accomplish with Providence and stuff. He sees the vision - but he also sees the danger of that vision in regards to Nate's LIFE.... So there's a lot of selfish shit on both sides of the fence that's interesting.

They don't always agree, but Wade starts to come around, and Nate does this thing where people will be like YO DEADPOOL BE CRAZY WHY YOU ROLLIN' WITH HIM? And he is in his corner to be like hey, that's my boy Wade like give him a chance? HE'S DIFFERENT NOW. But yaknow they also emotionally manipulate one another in weird ways. :)) SIGH.

GIVE AND TAKE I GUESS. But it's interesting to see the evolution of trust and openness?? They're best friends, you can't argue that.

AND YAKNOW...we were discussing the response to this actually!! In Loki it was interesting to see Mobius say shit like that to him [how he can BE BETTER, he can be whatever he wants to be!!] and he just kinda.... I don't know, he's a villain by definition and yet he's whipped 'round into this anti-hero kinda position that becomes curious. But he doesn't lash out when he's told this shit, because the fight has mostly left by that point. He doesn't know what to do with those words?? Like yeah, okay.

But, conversely, with Nate and Wade... Nate is very heavy handed with it, and Wade is INSANELY volatile with his emotions because of how his brain is always in flux. And...he gets to a point he starts lashing out about it, about how Nate is trying to change him and he's FINE AS HE IS, AND HE'S TIRED OF HIS SHIT. They lash out a lot, but Nate also is kind of a controlling shit. He wants to play god, where as yaknow... Mobius has ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD FOR THE SHITHEAD TO UNDERSTAND IF HE DIDN'T WANNA LISTEN.

Honestly hilarious, the similarities...

But Jer and I were talking about how it's interesting to us that the show really focused on WHO is Loki without his magic. He's a con-man, he's a fast talker, he's a violent little feral cat. He doesn't know what trust and care is honestly, because even in his own family there were so many lies and hostility. So they pit him with this partner who has seen every trick and BULLSHIT THING he's ever said and done, and is like "Yeah yeah big scary God, wow. ANYWAY-" He is both fascinated, complimentary, and utterly flippant about Loki and that's interesting. We meet someone, a whole organization, that isn't phased by the existence of Gods.

It's interesting to see tunnel vision character exploration - small cast exploration - on characters that are deemed bad, but have a weird thing about them that doesn't necessarily mean they're REDEEMABLE, but that they have something that is inherently BROKEN in their past that can be nursed? Latent potential to be good.

They're not hardwired to be good guys, they can be good people, but it's harder and more exhaustive. But sometimes - it's nice.

But uh yeah - SO ANYWAY, moves down the line some more here -

WEIRD SIMILARITIES. But they're there and maybe that's what I liked about the show. You present me with a character I already don't like, you mock him and kinda kick him when he's down and then have this guy show up who is like... not really a fanboy but - HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. He doesn't appear phased at all the shit he can throw at him, and he plants the seed that he can be better.

And I love that the show is two seasons. It's short, it's sweet, it does a lot of really interesting things I'm obsessed with visually and narratively you can fiddle with. It has a very bittersweet ending, but it's not 100% sad for me. I love that they got this irredeemable broken bastard, and they gave him a win - and yet it's still, in Loki's nature, a loss. But he has all the time in the universe to figure things out. If he can ascend like that in just a few centuries - what's to say he can't free himself from his coffin of his own making.

We're given a consequential win, and I've already see fans making fix-its that are PHENOMENAL. My FAVORITE things to see and read for fanfic topics is people playing with the sandbox. I hate that people ALWAYS assume you know, sexual shit when you say you read fanfic - I am OBSESSED with people playing with the sandbox and fixing issues. Continuing the story. Developing insane head canons, coming up with the most INTERESTING INTRICATE IDEAS and still leaving me on a cliff hanger.

You've taken a bastard, redeemed him, and influenced CREATIVE MINDS to play with it in a positive way. I've seen most people express APPROVAL but sadness with the ending and that's I think the best thing to happen! It's how I still feel about the Mass Effect 3 ending :))

Conversely it all really highlighted my sadness of how with comics, we can so easily run a good idea into the ground, and how ya'know... you can see your character MAKE that 180 or you can see them do like a 320 and come out a little worse....

For Deadpool, C&DP ends on a VERY bitter note of Nate sacrificing himself, he is depressed about it, I think they have a big talk with him about it with the Agent X fam? My timeline is fucky with the 3 'ending' points of C&DP - full transparency lol. But... after this comic comes the numerous team ups - like him trying to find his place in the world, and then in like 2008 [which I'd been working towards, and was excited for because the art was really CRISP...] you hit Daniel Way.

Way's Deadpool introduces the ANNOYING yellow box and white box almost as if he was split personalities, where as it was really just like...thought boxes, just colored uniquely... As far as I've read, this has been retconned in recent comics. But it's the big staple in all things Deadpool - but.... Way's Deadpool is very disjointed, he's trying to date and marry death, he's suicidal because he wants to be with her forever, he is a lot of dick and fart jokes that just don't hit for me - he has funny moments but I can't think of a single serious moment I got emotional over?? You gotta give us reasons to connect with our character, or things that hit us to stick with us? I felt like I was just reading low punches a lot?

But it did this weird thing, that I'm trying to find any of the wikis talk about and coming up blank, but there's this point in the comics where in Way's... he basically gets hunted down by his whole support net? It's like a big thing? Like everyone hates him and shit? But somehow EVERY WRITER AFTER THIS ACTS LIKE THINGS WERE FINE~

Like they hunted this man for SPORT it was WEIRD. It was so.... weird?? Going through my own tag I didn't even blog about it... weird??

But I dunno, it left a bad taste in my mouth to like reduce Wade down to like... what they did. C&DP works really hard to kinda get people to see some value in Wade, and then Way's DP just kinda tears that structure down and all he has is Bob left whom he really is AWFUL AS HELL TO....

It's sad to me. The new comics started, and I left shortly after, in like...what...2012? I was really excited for the team, the writers and artists involved and he looked GNARLY but interesting and I loved the colors and - it was gonna be WEIRD and funny... but they kinda kept leaning into the like...

You know when you don't wanna talk to someone, or be seen by someone and you shield your face and walk the other way? I feel like we were back to that with Deadpool. Like it was EMBARRASSING to be seen with him, even though in the aftermath of C&DP we did all those team-ups and had some great cross overs and EVEN HAD A SPIDERMAN COMIC THAT WE SAW THEY COULD BE CIVIL [we all know I hate how Peter treats Wade and I have bad blood with those shippers still :)) never forgive, never forget! But boy howdy he was an ass to him WHICH IS FAIR BECAUSE MORAL DIFFERENCES...] but like?? We were back to HAHA WOW HE'S CRINGE... which is a bummer.

I dunno.

Jer just kinda really hit a nerve in my brain when he pointed out how the show kinda did a thing we don't see the pay off for as often as we should. Turning over a new leaf, and truly discovering what it means to do a selfless action?

And it just kinda reminded me how I love Wade being a SNARKY piece of shit, and how bad he is at trying to be a good person - he's just a weird little guy, he knows he's not a hero and he doesn't really try to be. He just tries to be real with people? But he IS a good ally, and he HAS the capacity to be loyal, and he -

Man like. ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE ARC? UNCANNY X-FORCE.

FUCKING ANGEL FROM XMEN HAS A SMALL TEAM AND THEY HAVE A JOB TO DO AND THEY HIRE FUCKING WADE TO COME WITH, AND EVERYONE IS ANNOYED BECAUSE HE'S ANNOYING and he's ya'know DEADPOOL.... and when they get to the fucking end of the mission and it's like hey, you gotta kill this kid Apocalypse? Fucking he DRAWS THE LINE. No women, no kids! He makes a STINK about it. Logan and Fantomex are like yo, what the FUCK you're being paid for this you bastard - and it's Angel or Betsy who points out that Wade never cashed any of the checks.

Like Wade half the time would go along on an Xmen mission just for the benefit of being INCLUDED honestly. Some of the writers use to really GET THAT. He use to hold them with a lot of reverence. And I feel like that was a big thing I was sad about with the movies was removing that kinda "WOOOOW IT'S THE GANG" vibes... he's just kinda... jaded? Hm. Huffs. ME TOO THOUGH LMAO.

Uncanny X-Force is so delightful... and even still too a lot of people...really don't paint him in a loyal light or care about his connections to people and it's sad. In the Messiah War arc like Cable specifically calls on Deadpool to have his back and fight with him while he's transporting baby Hope, and he gets so UPSET when he has to leave. It's not good bye~ and Wade is so sad because he thought they were a team again. AND I WANTED IT SO BADLY, I wanted him to have that stability he deserved, a friend. THE GUY WHO SAW WHAT HE WAS CAPABLE OF.

There's random good moments in random comics, and of course they meet again in a Deadpool & Cable comic, which is good and done by some of the older team. Idk. I wish...

I wish I could still read comics in confidence they wouldn't scrub whole segments of a character.

It's like a post Dazz reblogged the other day about how characters have less weight these days because we're scrubbing lime line events from them in desires to make them TIMELESS and it's detrimental because there's no proportional trauma or event to really add that weight now and then, ya'know?

Me talking for too long.

Loki ended in a way I was pleased with, and I was surprised to end up liking that incarnation of him, and being excited if they expand on him ever again - conversely if they don't wow, EMOTIONAL and amazing regardless. But, uh, they really uh... they really kinda coded that ending as eternal pining with those two. I didn't think much about it until a few weeks later someone posted something and it hit me sideways like a brick. How dare?

And I'm still mourning the fact there was a lot of hard work to get people to take Deadpool seriously as a character in universe, and to get him on teams, and they kinda took everything away from him, just to give him weird new things, only to take that away and rebuild him again. But at least he's FRIENDS with Cable I GUESS. But who knows the fuck is going on with him anymore. He's probably DEAD AGAIN... He sure died and came back wrong in my book :)

But I think that's just the thing with Marvel. You gotta pick your battles, and pick your story arcs to commit to. It's like when people are into a specific writer for Batman or something. SHRUGS.

Me casually being mad my friends can call my favorites, and why so easily and proceed to talk to me about it's narrative themes and character arcs so easily... I'm a predictable fucking pile of shit, I swear to god....

Me rereading this post: IS THIS ANYTHING? IT'S NOTHING. IT'S ALL NOTHING.

i love how the 4th gen idols u know are skz txt and 'an assortment of the ateez men' it's so funny to me because i literally backslid from being a 4th gen stan to finding all this 2nd/3rd gen music

i'm a 2nd/3rd gen stan through and through but also a lesbian through and through, so i've always been worse at knowing boy groups but the 4th gen boy groups in particular have just not been doing it for me. like the 4th gen girl groups are all slaying so hard, they're constantly charting and their music is phenomenal but the men... like every now and again they'll have a hit but aside from skz and txt they're mostly one hit wonders. and the only reason i really know skz and txt is because they debuted in early 4th gen and back then i was still hopeful about the new generation of boy groups so i paid attention. i even watched the skz survival show as it aired! but no 4th gen bg has caught my attention like le sserafim or billlie or stayc and even the early ones don't measure up to loona or everglow

Not much of a blackpink stan but I do look up for their content that shows up on tiktok or twitter (or x, wtv we’re calling it now). I think the group is mid in terms of discography but they have good money going in marketing to make their songs popular. I’ve listened to some of their b-side that weren’t as much known to gp & felt they were good. Or until I happened to know many of these were rejects from some pop singers and yg took them for bp. I don’t bother engaging in fan wars too coz it’s mostly a joke on blinks side as they can’t come up with any quick comeback at army’s except for dragging the boys for their appearance or youtube achievements. Although I have one confession to make, which is lil silly so pls forgive. I think I’ve grown to be a Lisa sympathiser smh in some of these months as I watch their tour clips? There are thousands of clip on Tiktok showing how unsyncronise the group is, mostly jennie slacking as per usual and even other two members looking disinterested in group performances or stiff. Lisa is better than the other 3 from all clips I looked at, which is being used as a defence slander against bts. Defending one entire group’s downfall by one member it’s funny to think about LOL. But just sometime ago I saw one tiktok on feed where they captioned lisa was sick but still performed throughout and blinks in replies were gross saying that ‘she only got fever everyone has it not a big deal’ it was upsetting to read. Like if somebody as an army says something like this to a member they’re surely getting kicked out from army fandom coz this is legit anti behaviour but in blink city they celebrate this? Meanwhile if Jen is leaving stages due to sickness they’re pitying her. IG this internalised sympathy over one member is so dense that members got more solos than whole group stans and blinks know that they’ve failed as a fandom so they nitpick fights with armys instead. Also normalise blaming yg for their favouritism to polarise the group, I think nobody can save them from the downfall when this group disbands. Serves the company right.

Lisa is a hard worker who genuinely seems to like her job and she’s rlly good at it, I hope she will always be successful and happy xx

Don Henley boys of Summer is on and he turned it up and you can't really hear it outside but a lot of people can hear it and they're saying that I had a deadhead and stuff like that then they say that he doesn't think so and they don't understand what love is and stuff they don't really it was a fun act and we said there's something going on with my brain image and people are messing around with electronics to say there was something different when people weren't and so on and that's what was happening then we use it so they came up with a song to try and ruin it that way in the faild LOL I was mad at it and him too. You can laugh a little now back then it wasn't funny. There's more happening. Used to figuring out they're fighting Tommy f and Stan is figuring out Tommy f is bothering them and it's a lot of times and bja figured out terminators weren't bored the tall ships and that Tommy F was running them and having people do stuff but for us and they saw it they're doing it by force and they had guns on them and they saw it because all these people came to try and take over the ships and they were forced to fight them off and they escaped now Lily and Jason don't really know what happened is suspected but they're going to go out to four points to try and find it and they end up finding it and then they start their first movie but right now they're huge ant eating the wood and they're eating up chips and they're killing off everybody trying to get here no matter what they are mostly morlock. And there's a lot of it okay tons and tons and tons of people are dying trying to get here because they're evacuating clones are evacuating too and they're still down below working for Tommy f. It's a huge job. And there's an idiot cop who works for the fisheries and he thinks he's proving something when he's getting his people arrested and there's a moronic b**** trying to cause my son more injury so we're attacking them and they will be out and gone shortly and we are going after Tommy as well now these people are fools they're mean and they don't have to be the ruin things that don't have to they didn't get anything out of it and they're going to lose everything now. Right now we are proceeding in court against them and it is too sue them until they stop their aggressive stance with my husband. We are going to lay into them overseas more and force them to leave and destroy them at sea before they reach halfway. Huge numbers of them are pouring out because they're hearing that they're just being killed and it's true all across Europe and Russia the Middle East the North country the caucuses Africa Egypt Pakistan Indian and Asia the word is then if you don't leave you're going to be killed and they heard it all over the place and they can see it happening and they're flowing into the cities in adjacent to the cities and waiting for ships and some ships are coming and they wait patiently some with a hopeful look some expected and others are full of dread. You think it was just another day and a cruise ship. But it's not they are in serious danger and Jeopardy and they will most likely perish and I'm sick of them. They don't do anything that's useful can't believe how hard it was to convince them of anything. There's a massive drive to get rid of them and it's overseas and it's catching it's growing and when the evacuate they say stuff it's making it bigger and bigger and their group is getting smaller and smaller right now they're percent of the general populace is 0.8% and that's less than it was earlier it's more or less 8 out of 10,000 it's going to keep going down. There are several battles going on they're going to reduce their number much faster. News in Mexico where they just simply don't want to admit them from the south at all and they're blocking the way now the idiots see this and they realize you're going to go after the money they won't be able to I close with that for now.

When were the caution this last paragraph is very important to us publishing now

Hera I said all the above
