It’s Time to Talk about a Bespectacled Elephant in the Room

I’ve been in the Beatles fandom for 8 and a half years. I have had a Beatles blog for the entirety of those 8 and a half years, and I have watched as discourse about these four men evolve. The discourse inside and outside the fandom has become so toxic that I don’t think I can engage with it in the same way that I could before. Let me explain.

When I entered this fandom 8 and a half years ago, it was in 2012, quite an infamous year in tumblr history. That was the pique of “”cringey”” fandom culture. The Beatles fandom was as steeped in fandom culture as any other fandom. I know this because I was part of two of the top of fandoms at the time, Doctor Who and Sherlock. Believe me, I have seen cringe.

The fandom at the time was totally aware of the John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s flaws as individuals, but most fans tended to simply enjoy Beatles fandom as if it were the 60s. Some might call it ignorant bliss. If you asked me at the time, I’d have said it was self-aware ignorant bliss--if that even makes sense. At the time, there wasn’t a person with a Beatles icon who hadn’t heard the line “John Lennon beat his wife.” Everyone knew it, but everyone also knew the real story, and so everyone just made peace with it. As a result, people didn’t think about every bad thing the Beatles ever did on a daily basis. It was more like a once-a-month kind of thing. Otherwise, fandom discourse was quite fun and relaxed. There were no shipping wars, no one fought over who was the best Beatle, everyone gushed over the Beatles wives, and we all just had fun with fics and fan art.

Of course, in this period, people engaged in conversations about one bespectacled Beatles problematic behavior. These conversations usually came from outside of the fandom. It was usually randos coming into the tags or into someone’s ask box and ranting about John Lennon’s violent behavior. Some of it came from within the fandom. Some people really didn’t like John and gave others shit if they listed John as their favorite Beatle. A lot of the discourse boiled down to: ‘hey, I see you like John Lennon. You should know that he beat his wife. And now that you know that, you should feel bad about ever liking him in the first place.’ And the response was often, ‘Actually, John Lennon didn’t beat his wife. They weren’t even married at the time. And also he didn’t beat her, he slapped her once in the face, and then never did it again.’ No one’s minds were changed. The fans had made their peace, and the antis came off as cynical and pretentious.

When Dashcon happened, and Tumblr took a hard look at its cringey fandom culture, the Beatles fandom evolved as well. The fandom became, frankly, less fun. It no longer felt like a group of people who found the Beatles decades after the 60s and were fangirling like it was 1965. There was still some of that left, but a lot of it kind of faded. So, most fandom interactions were reblogging pictures of the Beatles from the 60s and various interview clips and quotes. But the barrage of antis never really went away, and the response didn’t evolve.

Then, the advent of cancel culture came on. I always waited for the Beatles to get, like, officially canceled, but I also felt they were uncancel-able at the same time. Let me explain. I have been a Beatles fan primarily in an online space, rarely engaging with fans in real life. But I have met fans who are life-long Beatles fans, people who are a lot older than us and who’s fandom isn’t tied to the internet. They don’t give a shit about any of our discourse. They may or may not have heard it before, but they seem totally indifferent to all of it. I’m sure most of them have never heard ‘Mclennon’ before. These are the people that flock to see Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in concert (and pay astronomical prices for it). These are the people who go to record shops and buy vinyl. These are the people I run into at flea markets who buy up all the Beatles merch before I can even arrive (true story). So, the Beatles will never be canceled because there will always be people who love the Beatles and don’t engage with online discourse. Rarely said, but thank god for Gen-X.

As cancel culture took over the internet, fandoms changed. It’s not as noticeable in fandoms without problematic favs. For instance, I’m also steeped in the Tom Holland fandom, and that boy is a little angel who has done no wrong. No one has discourse about the unproblematic boy who plays an equally unproblematic character. But in fandoms with ‘problematic favs’ the mood has shifted. I’m also in the Taron Egerton fandom. Taron Egerton, for those who only follow me for my Beatles stuff, is a genuinely sweet and kind person who has had zero scandals in his six year career. There were some rumblings when he was cast as Elton John, and some people took issue with the fact that he’s a straight man playing a gay man. This discourse seemed to die quickly as a whole lot of straight people played gay people in that same year (Olivia Coleman as queer Queen Anne, Emma Stone as her queer lover, Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury). Why jump on this boy who at the time was still technically on the rise. He’s not exactly the same target as someone like Scarlett Johansson who has her pick of roles. Taron doesn’t have quite that some power in Hollywood, and I think most people made peace with the fact that this was a big role for him, and it’s not really fair to take that away from him. So, all in all, the closest thing to a scandal was something that died pretty much on arrival.

That was until this summer when everything changed. When George Floyd was murdered, celebrities flocked to social media to mourn his loss. Taron’s social media account was silent. For weeks, Taron said nothing about Black Lives Matter or Floyd’s death. This caused outrage in the fandom. Many raced to defend him, starting a hashtage #IstandwithTaron. Others sought to tear him down and anyone who supported him. The kind of mania this one incident caused tore through an otherwise peaceful fandom. What I saw was two sides in a total panic. The antis were people who once had faith that Taron was a good person and were now questioning that. Andthe defenders were people who desperately wanted him to be a good person and were afraid that he wasn’t. In essence, both sides could feel Taron about to get canceled. The defenders wanted to stop it, the antis wanted to ride that wave.

What this long drawn out Taron example is meant to convey: is that cancel culture has put fandoms on edge. One’s fav has to be perfect, otherwise it can jeopardize the existence of the entire fandom. I’ll admit, I was afraid that I’d be some kind of pariah for standing by Taron through all of this. My actions were to basically reason with the antis but still defend Taron. I defend him mostly because I felt that his silence was the result of a needed social media absence and that trying to shame him back onto social media was an invasion of privacy. But I was genuinely afraid that he would get canceled, and the fun of the Taron fandom would be lost.

In the Beatles fandom, it often feels like the Beatles, mainly John, have already been canceled. I see this coming from two different sources: antis from outside of the fandom and antis within the fandom. The outside antis are just the same as the ones from 2012. These are people who like to drop in that John Lennon beat his wife, posting this in the tag (which violates an ancient tumblr real by the way--no hate in the tags).

The antis outside the fandom speak to a larger anti-John Lennon sentiment online. I see references to John Lennon ‘beating his wife’ on Tiktok and twitter. The tone of anti-John Lennon posts has shifted. Before, it felt like the antis were being smug but also argumentative. They wanted to have a conversation about this bit of info they read on Reddit with no context. Now, “John Lennon beating his wife” is practically a meme. It’s a running joke online that John Lennon was a wife beater. I can’t look on my instagram explore page because every so often a John Lennon beats his wife meme will pop up amongst the other, normal, memes.

This change in discourse suggests that the internet has just accepted this as fact now. I should note that back in 2012, it seemed as if few people knew this fact. The fandom knew it, and these random antis knew it, but few others did. Now, because of how common these memes are, it seems to be widespread knowledge.

Consequently, the Beatles fandom, who used to ward off attacks from antis, seems to have given in. I recently saw a post from a Beatles blog (had the URL and icon and everything) that confessed they felt guilty for listening to the Beatles, and I’ve seen similar sentiments expressed in the fandom. People tend to put disclaimers in posts about John or even all four that John is an ‘awful man.’ It seems like the self-aware ignorant bliss has completely gone away. Occasionally, I still see posts joyously talking about Mclennon or reblogs of old photos from the 60s. But the culture has shifted.

Online, it no longer feels comfortable to be a Beatles fan. It feels like you have to own up to 8 decades of mistakes by four men you’ve never met. And, I should note, this is kind of how it feels to be a fan of anything right now. Taron is not canceled today, but he could be tomorrow. It’s this pervasive feeling of guilt that the person you’re supporting may or definitely has or is doing something wrong.

I’ll admit this uncomfortable feeling has expanded into other parts of my fandom life. I listen to their music, and I feel elated--the way I always have. Then, I get these intrusive thoughts which sound like all the worst parts of Twitter combined. It wasn’t always like this. Back in 2012, when I knew almost nothing about them, I saw them as four young men who were full of happiness, love for another, and talent. Back then, listening to their music was exciting and joyous. Sometimes, I fear that I can never feel that way again. Next year, when I finally go to Liverpool, will I be filled with excitement or guilt?

I say all this for a few reasons. One, I love John Lennon. I appreciate all the good he did for the world not just as a musician and an artist but also his advocacy and charity work. I love him, and a part of me will always love him, but observing the change in discourse has enlightened me as a historian. Part of my job is to observe people’s legacies, and John’s is perhaps the most interesting legacy I’ve ever observed. When he died, he was hailed as a saint. But tall poppy syndrome set in, and the antis started. This culture grew and grew to the point where it seems to, at least among the younger generation, taken over the sainthood.

But as a historian and a fan, I have never seen the saint or the devil. I’ve only seen the man, the incredibly flawed man. The thing that these antis never understand is that John Lennon was painfully aware of his own flaws to the point where it made him all the more self-destructive. In essence, his past mistakes caused him to make additional mistakes. But John, aware of his own flaws, always tried to change and was often successful. I’ve talked about this before, but John demonstrated that he was capable of being a good person, like properly so, again and again. After he struck Cynthia, he never hit her again. His shortcomings as a father to Julian weren’t repeated with Sean. He worked on his drinking, his drug addiction, and his anger, trying to overcome those demons till the day he died. By all accounts, the John Lennon that died in 1980 is not the John Lennon who struck Cynthia Powell at school. That John Lennon was living a cleaner, healthier life. He was a better father to both his sons by that point, and was trying to repair his relationship with Julian. He was a good husband to Yoko and saw himself living a long and happy life.

John Lennon cannot and should not be boiled down to just his flaws. It’s one thing as a fan to acknowledge that John is a flawed human being (news flash: they all are), but he is also much bigger than that.

So once again, why am I writing this long, rambling post, once again talking about John Lennon’s virtues? Because if I can’t engage with healthy discourse about the Beatles and John Lennon, then I can’t engage with discourse on the topic at all. So, I probably will post less Beatles stuff because I find it hard to go through the tags or even my dash (well, I can’t really go through my dash anymore for other reasons I’m not going to get into right now). If any of my followers have noticed a lot of Taron posts lately, it’s not just because I love Taron, it’s because Taron’s tag is pretty much the only location on tumblr I feel 100% comfortable in. Any foray into John or the Beatles tags becomes uncomfortable and guilt-ridden quickly.

So, I probably will post less about the Beatles until I can find a blog or a tag that doesn’t give me bad vibes. My fandom will likely outgrow tumblr and the internet. I have a ton of Beatles books; maybe I’ll rely on those. I am doing official scholarly research on them now. Maybe that will be my outlet. I’m sorry if I post less about them now, but it’s really for my own well-being.

Let Me Make Some Things Clear About My Talk About Pepe Le Pew

in case there was any form of misunderstandings, let me make this very clear as best as I can...

first of all if by some miracle Pepe does get uncancelled and rebooted,

maybe making him have a father who is from the USA, and his mother was from France, and Pepe picked up his accent from his mother and learned how to speak both English and French from both his parents.

but no matter where Pepe would suppose to be from, it doesn’t matter.

no matter where a person is from, they can either be good, bad or neutral.

yeah I get that there are some misunderstandings that involve Pepe, as well as Speedy.

both deserve to not be the target of humans who believe them to be 100% bad.

plus I really think those who didn’t think there was any true change in the characters like Speedy and Pepe, should at least check out the Looney Tunes Show from a few years back,

that is the same show that introduced Daffy’s love interest Tina.

plus there is that other new cartoon that is on boomerang,

that has Pepe in it, and he seems to be wearing a suit and flirts with that fox lady.

let’s say that Pepe was never portrayed as someone who was from france,

but instead was a skunk name Peter, and he was made to be a flirty guy acting the same as he was in his older cartoons, and he acted this way all over the USA, and none of which took place in Paris.

and then years later in the year we live now, those who live in America

start to call Peter The Skunk (who in alternate timeline was created by a man who was from Paris.) a insult to Americans and call it a “R” word culture.

but not all people would feel that way, at least I don’t believe that all people around the world and who live in different places in the said world would view Pepe or that metaphorical Peter The Skunk.

yeah it seems that it turns out that not only Pepe’s aggressive flirting is the problem, but it doesn’t matter where someone is from, they can be that way and it wouldn’t have to do with where they are from.

I didn’t want anyone to misunderstand my words from the other day,

so I wanted to sign back in to try to clear up somethings as best as I can.

Pepe could go from his aggressive advances to a friendly flirting and takes a No when given it once or twice, but could do a friendly wink or blow a kiss, but no longer do the aggressive flirting that comes off as what most humans do in real life.

Pepe and Johnny Bravo might be many things, but they wouldn’t do the disgusting filth some humans would do.

I want Pepe, Speedy and Johnny to be saved from the humans who want to hurt them, I have a dislike for humans, but at the same time I still like the good side of humans....but what humans are doing to Pepe and Speedy (and might go after Johnny Bravo too.)

is added to my dislike of humans, even if I am still human myself,

I am still disgusted by what is happening to Pepe and even Speedy,

who could be given the chance to be less misunderstood,

if rebooted and keep some of their personalities but at the same time

add something to their personalities too.

like Pepe understanding aggressive advances to the gals he becomes smitten with, will come off as uncomfortable and if he isn’t careful, some people,

like the humans in real life, will mistake his only wanting to kiss and cuddle,

as something more dangerous.

and yeah I have a mix heritage, but my heritage wouldn’t have to do with my being a bit weird or my sensitivity or whatever the other parts of myself.

I am still not happy about what I went through a few days ago, which I guess has been a week now, and it makes me wish those who worked on the updates, did a test on a test type computer, before sending it out to everyone.

Pepe is a bit of gal crazy, but no matter where he was suppose to come from, which was thought up in his creation or development...

he would still be that way, even if he wasn’t “Pepe Le Pew”

and went by a different name and lived in Brooklyn.

plus Fifi chases boys too, and Amy Rose was known to chase after Sonic.

so tell me this, what makes it so different...?

sure Amy in Sonic Boom was shown to have mature and doesn’t chase Sonic the same way as she did before, but she may still hold feelings of love for Sonic.

I can only hope that Fifi will still be in the reboot of Tiny Toons, and I do not want humans to ruin it for me and other humans.

Elmyra Duff should at least be given a chance, and get in the reboot too.

if it wasn’t for the good parts of humans, like friends and family....and other people in this world that live all over the world, that give some hope for humanity...

I believe that if it wasn’t for that, I would 100% hate humanity and be full misanthrope, and if Ainz Ooal Gown was real and wanted to take over the world, well I might just side with the Overlord skeleton and the rest of nazarick.

even if I am suppose to be a Earth Angel, which my pendulum gave a Yes to,

and is one of the times I don’t think it is playing a prank on me.

but no matter if I was that or not, one can have a dark side that we all try to suppress, and it being from how the world is around us.

like having a dad that ups and left before ya were born,

or have suppress memories that you don’t remember until years later,

and when you try to tell your family about it, they don’t believe that your older cousin would do such a thing, and it makes you question if it was real and if it really did happen or if it was just a warning dream that you had when you were just a little girl, and yet even when you tried to talk to your family about that sicko, at some point, a few years later, you find out that.....older cousin you tried to tell your family about, had did something really bad to someone, that they “hurt” someone....

my remembering might of been for the reason, and if I was listen to, maybe it wouldn’t of happen....at least they are locked up.

I still love my family, but I don’t care much for the one that is still family but

I knew deep down was a monster, I just didn’t know how far it was.

I think it is possible what happen when I was little was a warning dream,

warning me to stay away from them, but at the same time I can’t help but wonder if it really did happen.

I mean before I heard about the Slenderman, I remembered I had this one dream once that had a faceless man in it, and the dream was in the woods

and it had a basket ball court, and I know that I felt hands on my shoulders and me being turned around to face what appeared to be a faceless man.

and I’m pretty sure I woke up scared after that, I guess I am questioning more about if Slenderman existed way before he ended up in the Slender Games.

I guess I want to keep to the whole him being fictional, but at the same time agree with the possibility that he could be real.

so I guess I can admit I’m in between.

and yeah I’m still not happy about what happen some week ago,

I am doing okay so far, so long as I don’t think too much about it I guess.

but I still think humans should at least try a different way to change Speedy and Pepe, and instead of try to cancel them.

still should try to watch the Looney Tunes Show that came on a few years ago,

that has Lola being different from her Space Jam self, and even has Tina in it,

which Tina should show up in other Looney Tunes Shows as well,

not just that one.

also I wanted to wait to say this, but I think I did get permission to go live with the Divine Mother and her handmaidens/Lucifer’s Daughters, well you know like a someday thing.

I asked for the sign for Yes be that it rained, which I think it was March 25th when I asked for that sign.

even if some might take it as a coincidence, I’m taking it as a Yes and Permission, which is good, because even if I did end up going to Heaven,

I would still try to find that edge and jump off of it by my own free will,

even if I am not a big fan of heights, I could just close my eyes...

I did use that whole jumping off of heaven idea on a fan fic.

and well I asked permission through prayer, plus there was a bit more to that prayer too, but ya don’t need to know all of it currently.

plus I am starting to believe that the True Year is 3021, and what we know as “2021″ is some form of a fake year or like a “Neo-Year” that humans from long ago made so to possibly hide some secret.

I mean for all we know, my pendulum could of been truthful about the whole Non-Humans in the video game of Mass Effect, being Real In Real Life.

well my pendulum does pull pranks...

and I still wish to go back in time to March 11 before the incident of the stupid update so I can stop myself from pressing that stupid update again, and I am still gonna hope for that to happen.

well maybe me not really going back in time, more like hoping for some changes during that time to happen, and I don’t want to give up in that happening.

anyway back to the whole Pepe, he could be changed to be less aggressive flirt so he doesn’t get misinterpreted as the type

that most humans are known to be.

he could be changed to be a friendly flirt, and who does take no for answer, but could just do friendly flirting without doing the past actions he is known for.

Speedy Gonzales could have a change as well, but could make it so that his character is no longer misinterpreted either.

and yeah Johnny Bravo, if he ever gets a reboot, he could be a bit flirting still, but not be as aggressive either.

but at least Johnny and Pepe aren’t the type that would “hurt” women in the way some humans do in real life, and that what makes them worth saving.

plus it isn’t like it is just the male characters that do that whole chasing and aggressive flirting too, Fifi La Fume and Amy Rose were that way too.

and I want those two girls to be protected from humans who would try to do the same thing to them as what they are trying to do to Speedy and Pepe.

I hope some of you understand my feelings, sure even if there are still good people in the world, some do insensitive things and will at times cross the line.

plus it really doesn’t matter where a person is from, how they act and what they do, can be from who they are by their very soul, and sometimes when ya get reborn, you might not end up being reborn in the same country or speak the same language that you did in one of your past lives.

some might not fully get what I’m trying to say or go with this.

anyone can be a good or bad person, or even a neutral,

it wouldn’t necessary have to do with them being like from well,

from either America or even any other place.

ya don’t place blame on toon, just being human, and acting out on his own personality and even having the said Pepe become scared when the girl ends up chasing him instead.

which has happen in one of those old cartoons.

do any humans even try to think that no matter where Pepe could come from,

he could still end up being flirty, but could still have room to grow as a character and become just friendly flirting and no longer be aggressive flirty?

both Pepe, Speedy and Johnny and any characters like them, deserve the chance to grow as characters and to be given a fair chance and to prove they aren’t like the monster men and women that are in real life.

I am still counting the women, because it isn’t just the men that do that disgusting stuff that I don’t want to say what it is.

I’m going to keep hoping that things get better and Pepe ends up back in Space Jam 2, and if Speedy is going through the same thing, then I hope Speedy will still be in Space Jam 2 as well.

I’m just gonna try to hope for the best for those characters,

and humans start to see the truth.

I’m listening to Lily Allen’s song F**k You.

after I finish listening to it, I will go and play a video game.

I want to try to keep my mind off of what happen a week ago,

as well as the fact some stuff I had saved before might be lost and possibly on the the abomination dark web, which I still hope that my and everyone else’s stuff returns to where they were before that stupid incident.

another way to try to keep my mind off of that day that really upset me,

is that whole taking a nice nap, to sleep it away and try to not let it enter my mind.

I’m also going to hope that my pendulum is just pulling a prank

and just reading on my worries/fears and using it to prank me,

and no one truly wished for me to have such a experience a week ago.

cause if it turn out to be true, then I will be really mad and would want to try to have a lot of time to myself to try to do the things I like to calm me down.

well and try to do mediation or like sleep it off.

and try to hope that some events from that week will have a timeline change,

and it will give me hope that everything I had saved before, will return.

especially the cute baby kitten pictures I had taken of my second cat.

and if someone truly did wish for me to lose the new work or even the stuff I had saved on to the computer, well let’s hope that it isn’t true and my pendulum is just pulling a prank on me.

but if it turn out to be true, then the one who hoped such bad luck would happen to me, could get a itchy feeling on a part of their body for the whole day and even to the next day.

but since that can’t possibly be true, and my pendulum could be pulling one of it’s pranks, I will try to think of it as bad luck on my part and I shouldn’t of trusted that update.

I want to believe that Pepe and Speedy will be saved from the humans that wish to hurt them, and they will get rebooted for their own sake because of the misunderstandings that they unintentionally bring about.

even if some of my stuff still ended up still being on the computer,

the much newer stuff was well ya know....

and I truly treasured them, even the pictures of my cute second cat,

which I regret not posting or even saving on a flash drive.

like most of my other stuff, that I don’t want to believe I might never see again.

I want my stuff back, and I can’t stand that they aren’t back.

I want to try to believe that by some miracle they will return.

and who ever came up with that stupid update from the start,

should at least not make it so that they don’t make it seem not very trust worthy, and it could be misinterpreted, I still regret pressing that stupid update again.

I hate the humans that didn’t try to keep that stupid update from coming out,

if that never happen I wouldn’t of let such mistakes happen trying to get my stuff back....like the new drawings, the stuff I wrote and saved on the computer, even the pictures, like one of them being of my second cat.

it would mean the world to me that everything returned how it was before.

but no matter how much I keep wishing for it, it doesn’t seem it will happen right away....and I don’t want to believe it will not happen at all.

that dark thought of it, I want to try to detract my mind from.

about a hour or so ago, I was watching the crossover

that has to do with Shadow and Rouge ending up in Equestria Girls

and Shadow ending up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with Rainbow Dash,

it is still interesting, and if I had to do a ship that has to do with that crossover.

I would ship Sunset Shimmer with Scourge, as much as I like Fiona and can understand why she went with Scourge, because of how her so called former team of freedom fighters were, and still believe she could never change.

but Fiona and Scourge’s relationship in canon, could be seen as toxic,

even if there could be some form of attraction between the two, they might not truly be together because they are in love with each other, and their feelings might be only attraction of going for someone that was their type of “hot”

in a fanon crossover, Scourge and Sunset might end up in a non-toxic relationship and show a more positive relationship.

Sunset getting through to Scourge, and making him open up a bit more about his feelings, and how he became who he is in the first place.

I’m not sure if Sunset will ever appear in that crossover of Shadow Meets Equestria Girls.

even if some villains do deserve what came to them.

I don’t believe that Bradford Buzzard, Cozy Glow, Tirek, Chrysalis,

Hekapoo, Omnitraxus Prime, Rhombulus or even Chara from Undertale,

deserve to be made scapegoats.

Bradford still had some good in him, and if he became a Monster,

it was because of how people kept misinterpreting and hurting him emotionally.

because of his childhood, it is possible he suffers from PTS.

even if Hekapoo, Omnitraxus and Rhombulus had some form of Anti-Monster feelings, there could of been a story behind it, and they could of all changed their minds about it, not just Hekapoo who turned out was seeing a monster, by the name of Quirky, who ended up being killed all thanks to Moon.

because of Moon’s actions and using Rhombulus, Star and Rhombulus’s friendship was broken, and if Star had figured out it wasn’t Rhombuls who was the mastermind but her own mother, maybe she could of kept her Mother from crossing the line of misusing the magic, and keep magic from being the scapegoat.

some fans can clearly see that what Discord did was wrong, even if he was reformed by the kindness and love of Fluttershy, without the misuse of the elements of harmony.

he still ended up having his plans backfire on him, but at the same time he ended up having those three has his scapegoat.

Chara is only truly seen in the Genocide Route of Undertale,

but they never truly say that the Player or Frisk, has to kill any monster in the underground.

that is the players misinterpretation.

Chara is Not Evil in the canon, that is what I and other fans have come to realize and believe, and I am sticking to that belief.

in the Fanon, yeah I will believe that some versions of Chara are evil in some timelines and AU. but in the canon, no they are not.

we know that Kris (in fanon it could be short for Kristopher or Kristine.)

is suppose to be mix of Frisk and Chara.

from what fans can see of Kris’s room, or their shared room with their older brother....it is possible that Kris has some form of neglect, and doesn’t fix up their room to be as great looking as their brother’s side of the room.

plus Kris might have some form of lack of confidence

because of how much everyone praises Asriel, and hardly do so with them.

perhaps when Asriel does appear in Deltarune, maybe in Chapter 2.

we can learn more about what their brother/sibling relationship is like.

I am gonna hope that my theory about Asriel being a mean big brother and him using to beat up on Kris, and that is one of the reasons they hid under Noelle’s bed, like Kris hiding under that bed could of been to hide from Asriel.

but when their parents separated, Asriel could of changed and started to be a better big brother to Kris, but even if Kris did start to feel more safe and love Asriel, the hurt feelings could still be deep down in Kris’s heart.

like their feelings for Asriel, could still be sibling love, but could also be hate

because of how they were treated, and how Asriel would seem to get special treatment by everyone.

at least Kris has Susie, and possibly Noelle, and even Lancer and Ralsei.

and maybe even Sans’s little brother, not sure it will be Papyrus.

but we will have to wait to see who Sans’s little brother in Deltarune is.

I am gonna try to hope that some of the theories of Kris are non-canon.

but we will have to wait and see what happens in the next chapter of Deltarune.

I’m gonna try not to think too much about what happen this month....

I want to try to keep hoping and wishing everything returns back on how it was before, that some form of timeline change will happen that has to do with this year’s March.

yeah some of the stuff before and after that hurtful incident, can still be around.

all but the mistake of how to fix that problem that happen....

I want to try not to let it get to me too much, or the stuff that is happening with Pepe, Speedy and or if possible Johnny Bravo if he really truly will be next.

and if I have to make another thing clear,

it is this, I hate Toxic-Feminism, it is good to try to fight for rights for gals,

but I just don’t like the toxic side of it.

I know it is possible that one of the reasons for my semi-misanthrope,

also has to do with some jerks who thought what they were doing was for laughs and fun, and couldn’t see how much it was hurting me.

there can be different reasons for different people, to form a semi-misanthrope or full misanthrope and maybe only like the company of animals.

I know I love my cat, and if Slenderman ever tried to hurt my baby....

well if he were real that is, I would show him the real meaning of heck.

I can be protective...plus I think it is best for me to try to do some relaxing me time to try to get the mad or sad out, like either watch a movie or read, play video games or maybe try to lay down in bed and try to relax that way too.

after I do post this up, I’m going to just go back to playing video games.

and try not to think about the stuff that makes me not happy.

one of them being what happen some days ago this month,

that I still wish that timeline will hurry up and change and give me my missing stuff back.

as well as what some humans are doing that is added to my list....

I just need to try to look forward to upcoming fan series of Zim,

like Irken Outcast next episode, though I haven’t seen anything new yet, but things things take time.

and I’m waiting for the Invader Zim A Very Tall Problem.

I’m just guessing, but I think Purple and Gaz might form the friendship type ship.

not all ships are romantic, some are platonic type of love that of course will at times be like romantic but not like the type that will always have the kissing or other type of romance in it.

but I think Purple and Gaz’s future current relationship, might be the forming bond of friendship.

we can’t keep thinking that a ship will be the “romance” type that will have someone say “I ship it.”

if it is a ship that isn’t that, and those in it is like a family found, or buddies or sibling type love.

then it should be “I Fam It” or “I Bud It” or “I Sib It”

if it is just two or more guys who are just friends and aren’t in that romance type of ship.

it should be “I Bro It”, I just feel that the other side of ships need more love,

and one shouldn’t assume that the romance shipping is all there is.

which I think many know this already.

I might sign back on later, or maybe tomorrow or whenever I can.

I still don’t like Pepe or Speedy or even the possibility of Johnny Bravo,

being misinterpreted.

but if rebooting and revamping Pepe and Speedy saves them from the humans that wish to do them harm, because of how they are viewed, well it might be best to reboot/revamp them for their own safety.

Pepe going from his original type of flirting to a friendly flirt that takes a No,

but will still do a passive flirt from time to time, might be the best for his character if it keeps him from being misjudged.

I still think if Pepe had a alternate version of himself, who was given the name Peter and he was created by someone who made him be a flirty American skunk.

but his creation didn’t originate from America, the shoe might end up on the other foot. but it wouldn’t mean that everyone would agree that Peter or even Pepe were bad, just that they get misinterpreted as certain men and women in real life.

yes being a aggressive is bad, which to save Pepe, that will need to change to a friendly passive type flirt, so people will stop calling him the “R” word.

in other words the two types of it....

and like I said before, in one of the older cartoons, when the female ends up chasing Pepe, Pepe is the one who ends up scared and starts to run.

I can only try to hope that everything works out, I’m just gonna try to relax for the rest of the day.

also when you are waiting for a new episode or movie to finally come out,

it is best to be patient, and try to understand these things take time.

either if it’s canon or fan-canon.

at least I had favorite/hearted some stuff on here today on March 28, 2021.

or as it might be 3021.

I could count it being both, even if it might turn out that the true year is 3021.

I still see it as 2021 as well.

I still don’t like misunderstandings where it crosses the line,

I mean some misunderstandings can be okay, because it can be worked out.

but even if Pepe had a different origin, he could still end up being mistreated and viewed by those who believe him to be a monster.

the sooner Warner Bros reboot/revamp him and Speedy, the better.

I just really don’t like whats going on, and I’m going to hope everything gets better soon.

anyway it really doesn’t matter if Pepe was French or not,

I think he would be that way if he did end up being given a different backstory,

and if he was given a different backstory, and was made like how most people view people where I live at....

then some might still share that view but not many.

I want to believe that not everyone sees Pepe like that, and can see that just because he took the wrong way of flirting in his past, he can grow and go from a aggressive flirt to a friendly flirt.

plus ya can’t blame everything on Pepe, even before he was born/created,

and before cartoons and movies, there was sickos in the ancient times who had hurt women.

so yeah Pepe can’t truly be blamed for what happen before he was born/created.

like I said before, I’m gonna try to take my mind off the stuff that has started to bother me this month....and hope some of it will be fixed soon.

when I do update on here again, I might talk about my favorite ships.

like Professor Membrane x Utonium.

I think I am back on the fence with Dexter x Blossom.

yes re-reading the Powerpuff Girls D crossover comic series,

did make me start to love the ship again.

but who knows if that ship will last in the canon of the comic.

Blossom might just get her heart broken, Dexter clearly might have true feelings for the other girl.

also when it comes to the Grim Tales From Down Below Comic Series,

I can’t help but have the weird theory that Minimandy might really be Adult/Future-Bubbles’s daughter.

and Chi might be a fragment from Adult/Future-Blossom’s soul,

and Aku mixed some of his own essence onto the fragment, making Chi be born as the daughter of Aku, but still being technically Blossom’s daughter as well....

another theory I have is that Adult/Future-Buttercup is Chi’s Mother.

well not all fan theories have to be correct.

anyway I really should go now, I still want to play a little bit of video games.

and maybe do some reading later, but not before watching some shows or movies I like first.

I’m gonna try to hope things get back to how they were before that mess about a week ago....and try to make sure to keep my mind off of it, and not let it get to me too much like had been during the first days.

but it doesn’t mean I wont try to hope it will change....

I do not want to go through a third depression, so gonna try to look on bright side and hope that it NEVER comes to that.

so yeah, see ya later, stay safe, and if you do a Geno-Run in Undertale,

don’t blame Chara, and remember reality is illusion, Gaster implants the ideas of the games inside the mind of it’s human creator, Steven Quartz Universe’s name spells out “Sans” if you take out the “S” from Steven, the “A” from Quartz, and the “N” and “S” from Universe.

Underswap Sans, Gir from Invader Zim and Sonata Dusk from MLPFim/Equestria Girls, are the Taco Buddy Squad.

cause you know, all three of them apparently love tacos.

of course there are different versions of the original tacos.

but would be a dream come true, would be the taco pizza...

where you have pizza, but then you put some taco seasoning in it.

it wouldn’t really be a taco, but homemade pizza that is made like that is the best....well I think it is, but not everyone has to agree with me on that.

Bill Cipher Could Be Starco Child, made from their love and from the leftover magic......or not.

I’m weird and that could be non-canon.

but seriously do not misunderstand my talk about Pepe or any other character, like in my last post before this one.

I am just trying to say that no matter what Pepe’s origin,

he could still be that way but can grow as a character later on and go from the aggressive flirt to a friendly flirt that learns to take a no before his actions cause a misunderstanding.

also I can’t help but view Rarity from MLPFIM,

being part of the Pie family, like her real name being Rhinestone Pie

and her nickname is just “Rarity” and her “Mom” isn’t her real mom

and her real mother being Pinkie, Limestone, Maud and Marble’s Mother. (Cloudy Quartz Pie’s Mother could of been a Unicorn.)

Sweetie Belle could still be biologically Rhinestone “Rarity” Pie’s sister.

but her real name could be rock or gem based.

Bon-Bon’s real name was Sweetie Drops.

so Sweetie Belle and Rarity really being part of the Pie Family,

is my theory and fan head-canon, but it is fine that not many agree about it.

Crystal Pie could be seen as a possible birth name of Sweetie Belle.

I mean if that theory were true, but not all theories have to be true.

anyway I’m just gonna go now, I can talk more about the theory about Rarity and her sister truly being part of the Pie Family another time.

so yeah, once again see ya later and hope that no one misunderstood what I was trying to point out about Pepe, and I hope both he, Speedy and even Johnny Bravo if he ends up next....

get saved and if rebooting/revamping them keeps them from being misunderstood, then I really hope it helps.

Timeless Cancelled

Ok wow this is really not how I thought today was going to go. I didn’t expect to wake up and find out that Timeless has been cancelled. Words cannot even describe the emotions I am feeling right now, despair, anger, but also gratitude. I am so thankful that I even discovered Timeless in the first place. I was just driving down the road one October day in 2016 listening to the radio. As I was flipping through the channels I heard “from the creators of Supernatural” and I thought well I like Supernatural so I turned it up, “Timeless tonight at 9” so I thought I’ll give it a try. When I got home I recorded it and waited until 9 o’clock and as the end credits played I’m like holy shit this show is going to take over my entire life I NEED the next episode. It took one ‘ma’am’ and a smirk for me to be hooked. I watched season 1 all by myself and it wasn’t until after we got cancelled and then saved did I find out one of my friends also watched the show. I eventually convinced my mom to watch it and then she was hooked. We watched the show live together every sunday night (this is the only show she watches live she HATES sitting through commercials) with our glass of wine and snacks. It wasn’t until after the finale that I first made my tumblr and I just happened to suggest a fic prompt to @jiyamarrii and that changed my life. She introduced me to the goats and I made 24 new friends that I could rant about Timeless to whenever I wanted and they wouldn’t get sick of it. They helped me come out of my shell and write fanfics and they helped me grow my blog. I know my blog isn’t huge but I want to say thank you to all of you guys! Huge thank you to the goats! Thank you to the people who like and reblog my posts! Thank you to the people who leave wonderful reviews on my fics, it means more than you know! This isn’t over clockblockers, I’m not sure what is going to happen next. Whether we get saved by another network/streaming device or by some miracle NBC uncancels us again or if we get that movie but we have to keep fighting! Tweet up a storm, make some noise. In the worlds of our beloved hot-headed, reckless, blue-eyed solider “I don’t know, I just know I’m not really ready to say goodbye yet”.

#timeless #save timeless #this is not the end #i love you guys

Okay I tried to pick just some questions but they are all so good so like,, can you answer all of them?? (Unless you don't want to answer some jsjdksldk)

(I’m not gonna answer ones I don’t have an answer to if that’s okay dndjdjjd)1. If you got the chance to hang out with any famous person for a day, who would it be?Tbh? Probably Sean McCloughin (or jacksepticeye for anyone that doesn’t know also I hope I spelled his last name right hhhh) because he just seems so,,,down to earth??? Like I’m not saying other ppl I’m a fan of are egotistical or anything it’s just that?? He’s always interacting with fans, he knows he’s not a perfect person, and he’s super non-judgmental and optimistic and accepting and he just seems so approachable. (I’m gonna make a post about why I have a lotta respect and appreciation for this dude actually, bc I’ve been binge watching his videos and I’m being reminded of why he’s my favorite YouTuber, such an awesome dude.) Not only that but he has a lotta the same interests as me and stuff and he actually has a really thoughtful mind when it comes to a lot of things and I’d feel a lot less nervous around him than any other famous person.2. If there were 4 things you could get rid of, what would they be?* Mistranslated religious scriptures bc hooh boy they’ve created a lot of misunderstanding and controversy * pedophiles* TERFS* nazis 3. If you could uncancel any cancelled video game, what would it be?Silent Hills,,,so much potential, Thrown out the window by a greedy company. It’s such a shame the game got cancelled, I was super pumped for it.4. Is there any celebrity you used to be a fan of but now aren’t?Pewdiepie, he gives me a really bad feeling now.6. Time travel: cool or a horrible idea?HORRIBLE IDEA 7. Are you a creationist or evolutionist?Definitely creationist, but I do believe there are quite a few animals that have common ancestors and stuff like that.8. Worst song(s) you’ve ever heard?Can’t think of the absolute worst one I’ve ever heard in my life, but recently? Despacito and Shape Of You hhhh.9. Have you ever astral projected?Nope. I can’t even imagine what that would be like.10. Have you ever had any experiences with the paranormal?I think maybe...I’m not sure though. Even though I 100% believe in the paranormal I don’t assume something odd is automatically of the nature, evidence is important.11. What’s the last song you listened to?Papua New Guinea- The Future Sound Of London 12. Would you rather take 3 pills that would each make you forget an embarrassing memory, or take 3 pills that would each get rid of a bad habit?3 pills that get rid of a bad habit, yeah I’ve done a lot of cringey stuff but I think those would help me more in the long run.13. What is the worst fandom in your opinion?I used to think it was the Skeleton Clique, but nah, the KPop fandom looks like hell on earth (and I’m going nowhere near it, especially after hearing about the abuse and torment the KPop stars face. I will NEVER support KPop even if there was a gun to my head. Those people don’t deserve this hell.) 14. Do you still have stuffed animals?Buddy I’ll still have stuffed animals when I’m 50.15. Do you have any fears that other people might find weird? Is fear of time weird? 16. Which of your parents are you closer to?Probably my dad.18. Thoughts on roleplaying?There’s nothing wrong with it if it ain’t hurting anyone!19. Does the world scare you?Yeah, but it doesn’t discourage me, we CAN make it less scary.20. Any good advice you have?A priest that used to work at my church (he moved tho and I miss him bc he was the sweetest guy) once told me that people tend to view the world in black and white, when in reality it’s multiple shades of gray (not 50 shades of gray this is a church goodness.) That’s something that’s always stuck with me. I think that’s a mindset more people should have.21. Thoughts on this site? What’s good about it? What’s bad about it? What can be fixed?The good things about this site is that it can give people opportunities to share their art, interests, views, and build communities. It’s a shame that instead people use it for hate speech, hypocrisy, this gross hive mind, extremism, etc. Oh, and a staff that ignores all the crap.22. Ever gotten anon hate?Not directly.23. What’s the weirdest dream you’ve ever had?All of my dreams are freakin bizarre, I can’t choose the weirdest of them all. Like last night I had a dream that a rat turned into a worm and that’s one of the more “tame” dreams.24. What do you think heaven and hell look like/would look like?I don’t believe in the fiery hell a lot of people believe in. I believe in Sheol tho, you know, the depths, a v v cold lonely sucky place. Heaven...idk exactly what heaven would look like, but I know it’s beautiful and otherworldly in the bed way possible.25. If you had to have an encounter with any famous horror movie character (examples: Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Mike Myers, a Xenomorph, etc.) who would it be?Okay I haven’t seen any of these kinds of movies, but wasn’t there a movie where this girl ended up kinda-befriending Xenomorphs?? Bc in that case I’d go with a Xenomorph.26. Do you think science is flawed?To an extent. I’m gonna make an entire post about this subject, because I my views are different based on different situations.27. The age old question: what came first, the chicken or the egg?I mean,,,chickens are the closest relatives to dinosaurs, and dinosaurs laid eggs, so obviously the egg.28. Any book recommendations?The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams (the same man that wrote Watership Down!) It’s my favorite book, I will warn that it has gore, both human and animal death, animal abuse, and even mental illness?? (There’s a character that experiences delusions and hallucinations and stuff like that but he’s not demonized at all. There are outdated terms to describe him at times though, the book was written in the 1970s so there’s another warning.)29. Ever go through an “embarrassing” fandom phase? (You know the ones.)Anime and Vocaloid (even though I will always low-key love Vocaloid with my entire being.)30. Favorite superhero?Used to be Batman, but now it’s Black Panther. One movie was more powerful than years of attachment and nostalgia regarding another character. I really hope I get buy a lot of the comics soon, I need money.31. If there was any outdated meme you could bring back, what would it be?Any memes from the past that were focused on just having good fun. Stuff like the “Just Do It” and John Cena prank call, you know those kinda memes. Less “cringe compilations” and more of those please. 32. If there was one holiday you could get rid of, what would it be?Columbus Day, I don’t even have to think twice about that. Replace it with Indigenous People’s Day. Genocide should never be celebrated, I can’t believe we live in a world where that’s a controversial statement.33. Thoughts on the education system where you live?It’s a flaming heap of garbage.34. What would you do for a Klondike bar?Buy one at the store or something if I want one, duh.35. What’s a question you hate being asked?“How can you be ____ if you’re Christian?” Ugh.36. What’s the worst nightmare you’ve ever had?I don’t feel comfortable talking about it openly, because a lot of them are REALLY bad ones and I only feel comfortable talking about a few with friends though personal messaging.37. Worst villain you can think of? They can be from anything.Scourge from Warrior Cats HOLY FRICK HHH38. A reverse of the last question, the worst hero you can think of?There’s definitely a worse hero that’s not coming to mind but the worst one I can think of is Beck from Mighty No. 9.39. Look left to you. The first thing you see is what you use to fight the devil. What is it?A gigantic blanket. Welp.40. Does rainy weather make you happy or sad?Happy, probably bc rain is fairly common where I live and I associate it with home.Whew! That took a while but it was fun. Thank you so much love 💜💙💜💙💜💙 I hope you’re doing well!
