What do you think of the Goodrow trade? How does this factor into the Sharks' future plans, and who do you think he'll play with next season?
yay for the fans who liked him and are glad to see him back here. I'm happy that they're happy! I didn't know him whilst he was a Shark, I hope he grows on me like a barnacle <3
I don't think about lines enough to speculate confidently on what this means for the Sharks in the future, so I can't really answer that part of your ask, sorry!
my unserious answer is i hope one of our prospects gets stapled to him goonwag-style - maybe the plan here was to give kunin to macklin and goodrow to smith? giggling. our beautiful leg weights <3
okay okay time to break character <3 sorry i DO have a Serious take on this one. Per this article (and serveral others) there are reports that Goodrow isn't happy because the Sharks were on his no-trade list. We are not a contender, we arenât even looking to be one for a hot minute, he wants to keep playing and winning cups, so that makes sense! I donât know if you made a mistake using the phrase âtradeâ but⊠it might not be far from the truth. The going sentiment, per the same linked article, is that there was a quid pro quo situation between Mike Grier and Chris Drury that the Sharks would pick Goodrow up off waivers. This is unconfirmed by official sources. All we have here is looking to the future for any transactions between the two in the wake of this trade. If there was some under the table handshake situation going on... I don't like it at all.
The rest of this answer is going off the assumption that what is being said in that article is true.
The spirit of a no-trade list, of signing any contract, is the reasonable expectation that your wishes will be respected. Players have waived their clauses in the past, but that's on them. To have two GMs collude to basically trade a player to a team they did not want to go to is scummy as HELL, and to me it is a worker's rights issue. If my boss and I agreed to terms on a contract, I would be pissed off if they found some legal loophole around it, and I would feel screwed over. If I found out my new employer was a part of that? I wouldn't feel too good about those guys either.
I have and will make jokes about Goodrow trying to escape. they're funny! but in the end I don't think it's good for the culture to have someone here who possibly doesn't want to be here and isn't committed to the team due to resentment. someone who isn't committed because there are no playoffs aspirations. I'm not saying he would actually behave this way, I don't know him! I'm sure he's a good fella in the end. but I think leaving that up to chance by circumventing the terms of his contract is a stupid move. and skeevy. did I mention skeevy?
More broadly, contracts need to mean something. If two GMs can just shake hands in some backroom deal and ignore the player's explicit wishes about where they want to play, what's the fucking point in signing ANY ntc/nmc? where's the certainty then, if this loophole is open? whats the vibe here? has this happened in the past? will it happen again? I hope the CBA addresses this whenever it's time to negotiate again. and I super don't care about the whole "life isn't fair, players get exploited all the time, shady dealings happen all the time" angle, I don't want devil's advocates answers - my point is that it shouldn't happen, it's wrong, and I hope the player's union they got going on fights to make sure it doesn't happen again.
in a less structured conclusion..,,, the narratives are funny BUT i do be living in the real world lmao!! fuck all bosses forever fuck all gms forever yes even the 'good' ones!! all bosses are bastards and their interests will often run counter to the interests of the worker !!!! players are people with families and long-term plans of their own and presumably when they sign contracts they plan around those contracts accordingly assuming the terms will be honoured!!!!!!!!! their kids and spouses are also people whose education/careers/relationships will all be affected by trades !!!! players are NOT simply assets !!! nor are they simply characters in stories!! i do lean in to the narratives but again this is the REAL WORLD and a worker is being screwed by a boss and thats bullshit .
thank you for listening and im sorry if this wasn't the type of answer you were looking for </3

There is so many things I want to start as hobbies and what not, but they are way too expensive to truly dive into.. SO INSTEAD IM GONNA LIST EM + go on random side rants
TLDR: Take care of ferrets, skateboard, biker, art, vtuber, open sticker shop, collect manga and figures, scriptwriter, and learn Russian.
I definitely want ferrets in the far future. There has been hours on hours of research and planning to make it happen (ááŁá) This is something that does have to wait a few years when Iâm financially stable and sticking to things in the house.
Skateboarding.. I have a board, but itâs a very DOOKIE one so around this month Iâm gonna stop by a shop for a new one. The main problem here is that I live in a city so there is really no places to skate around and I already feel judged just being outside.. Imagine me on a skateboard??? Iâm dying??
Hear me out on this one.. BIKER.. I recently have been really looking into motorcycles and when I do move out of the city (x_x) Iâd truly rather be on a bike then in a car for reasons I will NOT explain. Cost wise itâs pricey, will have to be long term, and 100% is being my whole personality
I have been drawing on and off for a few years but with that I canât trust myself to turn it into something serious as I have already quick multiple times for months to years at a time. I already own a drawing tablet, you not catching me on paper, and I already have a start. With art I feel forced to start commissions because itâs already so pressured to make money off it and that ruined the fun for me.
I want to stream as a vtuber soo badd!!! I already have a model now and plan to stream on my own time, but Iâd love to be in an actual agency. Ofc I probably wonât be good enough for any because IM BLACK and itâs impossible to even get into any big names with that factor without being forced under a white and/or japanese persona⊠but itâs worth a shot yk?? Half throwing shade at the main vtuber agencies bc holy the racism in the community alone is horrible D:
Very sadly I got all the boring hyperfixations so I weirdly wish I could start a little sticker shop (-_-) Just for very cute random sticker sheets.. I collect stickers because itâs fun even though I havenât use them because I donât like to decorate my items with colors. Weirdly ties into how Iâm a minimalist and I should never have kids because they would be the iconic âsad beige babyâ GOD FOR BID I HAVE A GIRL oh my god they will never see the color pink ever (helps the color stereotypes ig)
Reallyyy REALLY want to collect manga. There are a few series I really just want to own and read SO IMA LISTEN EM HEHHE.. Banana Fish (own 1-9), Goodnight PunPun, Vagabond, A Girl on the Shore, Blood on the Tracks, Doomsday With My Dog, Chainsaw Man, Dandadan, Doubt, A Man and His Cat, and other names Iâm not abt to remember..
Along with collecting manga I would love to collect figures, just a good few anime and game ones. Then just a whole bunch of Miku, but Iâm stopping the blue aesthetic for my area and changing it to GREEN.. Really want the Banana Fish and Little Nightmares figured soo badd!!!!3!:?:!(:&36:
I cant drop too many details but.. scriptwriter.. I just think I could sit down and do that. NOT DROPPING SPECIFICS BC ITS EMBARRASSING SOO NEXTTT
Not sure if I can count this here, but I really want to talk time to learn Russian..? Show Iâm fixated on and have been for years is in Russian and holy it made me wanna learn so baddd RAAAHHHHH
Just dropped 10 because no one is reading allat NOT EVEN I.. so if yew did read everything then helloo :))) Iâm not gonna reread through nothing so sorry if it had bad spelling or grammar.. Rants donât got time for allat
time to add a bunch of tags in relation to EVERYTHING update: not doin allat
#random rants#hyperfixation#I just wanna start hobbies man..#ermmm awkward#hobbies#raaahhh#cyanrants#CyYapOfTheCentury

This isnât THE tommyinnit villain essay but it sure is one of them
Ok ok so 4 those of u who aren't on discord with me: i have two main essays that have been in the works for MONTHS, these being my Complete Dream character analysis essay going in-depth for nearly all of his canon interactions and finding his character traits and motivations through the story, and my Tommyinnit (and Wilbur Soot) were Always The Villains on the server essay talking about how the only reason so many people view them as the good guys or heroes is because we see the story from their perspective mainly. This essay? Is not either of those. BUT, it does go through a lot of my thoughts on Tommy and Dreamâs characters so I figured Iâd post it. maybe itll help me organize my thoughts 4 my Mega Projects lol
@ranboocore bc u helped me pop off on this so hard LMAO
Warning, itâs VERY Tommy Critical, what a suprise. I do not like Tommy as a character lol. idk what triggers yall might need me to tag but if u need one in particular pls lmn!
My biggest issue with tommy's character is that he SAYS hes learned but he never does he is exactly the same person he was at the start of the server just More Sad and with Trauma, when out of all the characters he's had the most push to change. c!Tommy is a very tell-don't-show character which can make it hard for some people to connect to him, especially those who donât directly share his trauma or see themselves in his character. Of course, there is still a MASSIVE amount of people who relate to his struggles and thus love him regardless of his writing, but those who can't relate to him will always feel some kind of barrier until the things they've talked about are actually shown to the viewer instead of being spoon-fed to them.
It is a very beginner writing thing, and I'm hoping that Tommy is figuring out how to fix this, maybe with support from the many other writers on the server. There's the 3 you mentioned, plus fundy, niki, and maybe tubbo who also play dnd, plus Dream who said he would've been an English major and does a lot of personal writing for fun. I think the biggest issue in the writing lies in the individual ccs being inexperienced in the medium, particularly with planning out their own character growth.Â
Another glaring issue I have with c!Tommy is how he's framed to be sympathetic and he goes through all these horrible things without acknowledging his role in any of them. The things that have happened to him are a direct result of his actions, but the thing is HE won't acknowledge and so it falls flat. This isnât to say that being abused is his fault, because itâs NEVER the vicitmâs fault, but being exiled? His multiple fights with c!Dream? His friendships falling apart? Losing the disks in the first place? Theyâre the direct consequences of HIS OWN actions, but he never acknowledges this and constantly just... brushes off any accountability by either saying that itâs Dream fault or simply SAYING he feels bad without properly showing it through redemption and GROWTH.
Denial is useful in storytelling sometimes, but Tommy's character has been in denial since the very beginning of the server and at this point it's just exhausting. He only ever switches between denial and depression, not really going through all 5 stages of grief properly. His violent/upset reactions would be more powerful if they were any different from how tommy usually acts, but this is always how he is. When he âlashes outâ because heâs reached the end of his patience, it doesnât SEEM like the snap it is because thatâs just... itâs seriously just his standard reaction to everything. It hold no WEIGHT to see c!Tommy yell at someone violently or threaten to fight them because he does that anyways!
Static characters can be a good thing, and can be interesting if done correctly, but not every character SHOULD or CAN be static in a story.
Static characters need to have their position or behavior challenged and question, where they look into if the way they see and interact with the world is really the 'correct' one or just evaluated to see if they truly believe in them. This questioning period is CRUCIAL! and NEEDS to be well done in a way that ACTIVELY SHOWS the conflict between the two ideals. If they decide to hold onto their beliefs/continue their behavior then, it feels deserved, because rather than just being a flat "they do thing its who they are" they have defined WHY. WHY is a very important question to think of when telling the difference between dynamic and static characters. The why of a character is ESSENTIAL to developing them as a relatable, sympathetic person rather than a flat story telling device. It makes them a human rather than a puppet. When a character's motives aren't well defined or discussed, they're doomed to fall flat in everything else, because the WHY is the foundation of what makes them who they are.
c!Tommy has an underdeveloped "why", his motivations are weak, rarely properly discussed and when they are it doesn't particularly stick with him. His motivations change without showing us the internal struggle that should come from literally shifting your driving principles. There are some good MOMENTS of him reevaluating the importance of certain things, but they're so spread out and contradictory and immediately spat one that they're hard to piece together. He TELLS us what his motivations are as well, which is another big flaw when it comes to all that but we don't have time to unpack all THAT Anyways, the key to static story telling is reaffirmation. The character goes through a complete journey and ends with the same beliefs because they've looked into why they have them and determined that they still matter to them. A great example of static writing in my eyes is c!Techno, who since the beginning has believed that governments are bad. c!Techno enters the server to destroy a government, and still ends up doing that because he sees and we see him experience that the reasons he didn't like government before still hold true and he has no reason to support them any more than before, and so his anarchist beliefs are REAFFIRMED, proving to him that they way he handles things is the right one for him.
c!Tommyâs attachments are all just... they're all so weird. like he LITERALLY SACRIFICES HIS LIFE MULTIPLE TIMES for L'manburg. By action of sacrifice it seems like it should be the most important thing to him, but then he throws it away for some disks that mattered less to him just a minute ago. But then it's all about how c!Tubbo is worth more than Anything and maybe he's found something more important! but then he shoves THAT out the window for the discs again ig!!! but then it's about lâmanburg again? Make it make sense.... pls....
Here's smth that really irks me about Tommy's character, and is kind of weird but give me a second to explain: Tommy has never actually permanently lost much of anything on the server. Every punishment he's ever received he's tried to find some way around. And like... I'm not expecting him to be HAPPY to face the consequences of his actions but seeing him constantly have his cake and eat it too is very irritating, especially when there are characters who DO have to deal with actual permanent sacrifices. The whole thing with the disks. where he WILLINGLY OFFERED THEM UP AND GAVE THEM AWAY THEN SPENT FOREVER TRYING TO STEAL THEM BACK WHILE CLAIMING DREAM STOLE THEM FROM HIM, is the biggest example of this, but it's generally his characters way of dealing with things. He's very backhanded and conniving, constantly calling himself "big man" except for when he wants things from people and he plays up the "iM a MiNoR" card to try and get them to give him things or feel bad. He's not just some sweet innocent kid like people paint him, he knows damn well he's messed up and while he SAYS he feels bad about it, he has never once really shown, with his ACTIONS, regret for what he's done except for the stuff with c!Sapnap, which could it could be argued he did because he thought it would help get c!Sapnap on his side to fight Dream and he knew c!Sapnap was a skilled warrior and could possibly be persuaded to fight with dream.
c!Tommy is in NO way some sweet innocent child, he knows what he's doing. He KNEW l'manburg was a drug empire, and wanted to turn his hotel into the same He was FULLY prepared to just murder c!Schlatt for legally winning an election that he KNEW was rigged AND INTENDED TO HELP RIG HE LITERALLY TEAMED UP WITH c!TECHNOBLADE KNOWING THAT HE INTENDED TO BLOW UP L'MANBURG AND ONLY LEFT WHEN HE REALIZED IT WASN'T GOING TO ACTUALLY HELP HIM--
The line of c!Wilbur saying "Tommy, are we the bad guys?" wasn't him mentally going batshit it was him realizing that the entire time they've been doing terrible things. c!Wilbur was literally ALWAYS Vilbur but the time people CALL Vilbur is when c!Will himself realized he was a villain.
#like. VERY critical#i do not like the child can you tell?#im sorry tommy fans but i am not one of you#and before you ask: Yes I have and do watch his perspective of the SMP just so i can try to understand his thought process#dream smp#dsmp#dream smp analysis#dsmp analysis#critical analysis#prince/pea and i pop off about this so much LOL#this is the first of MANY essays/collective analysis bits ive written about Tommy#lets see how many ill have by the time i finish going through the discord#tommyinnitcritical#discourse#ig. i saw a lot of ppl asking 4 this tag on similar posts so i thought id add it?

1 i think its hard for a lot of ppl to talk about racism in fandom when it comes to fanworks bc ppl constantly have to juggle the fact that while yes everyone is allowed their preferences and to stick to their tastes its also clear that there is bias in a lot of cases and ppl should be allowed to have those conversations too bc its all indicative of a bigger picture even if the people making fancontent dont intend it that way even when you know why you have a certain bias its still hard to
2 suddenly stop having a bias or preference simply because you found out why its a thing and i think the rise of antis being the equivalent of fighting fire with fuel and a flamethrower has made it even more difficult for people to engage in such discussion honestly than it was before everyone is so defensive and assumes these convos are automatically personal attacks labeling them as bigots and its just a mess i wish it were different
Yeah. Thatâs exactly the issue.
Part of the problem is that the discussions usually take the form of âWhy isnât my fave the fandomâs fave?â and even if the shippers of the rival ship agree thereâs a problem, and even if theyâre willing to try to change their own tastes, at best, that will happen in their next fandom, not in this one. But the people starting the discussion really want more fic of their fave in this fandom.
The focus on relative fic numbers between rival ships is also not great.
Neither is the focus on fic writers. Focusing on improving reccing patterns or changing which fics one is willing to try reading would be vastly more productive. Thatâs a smaller step that can be accomplished more rapidly, and an enthusiastic audience does, over time, make content production more attractive.
Focusing on reccing canons would also help. If what I want is the protagonist woobie who cries one single perfect tear, I am not going to switch to preferring the supportive best friend in that canon, but I might go for a protagonist woobie in another canon. (Though here one runs into the problem that casting patterns are remarkably racist.)
Iâm also pretty weary (and also wary--tumblr, please learn that these are different words) of âconsciousness raisingâ efforts in fandom because they usually just involve a lot of guilt and hopelessness about an issue I already know exists and have already thought a lot about. Weâre all pretty stressed and burnt out. Being constantly asked to âjust considerâ stressy things is not actually neutral and good and unobjectionable after a certain point.
I think people would be less defensive if more of this stuff were couched in terms of actionable suggestions.
So with that in mind, I challenge everyone to:
go watch one awesome vid about a character of color right now
leave some love for the vidder
then rec it somewhere.
Search youtube. Or AO3. (The main tag is âfanvidsâ.)
If you donât know what character to search for, hereâs a vid playlist I made in February with a focus on black characters. These canons are well worth checking out. (Except for Slash. That movie totally sucks aside from the 3 minutes of footage in this vid.) Several of the vidders have lots of other vids focusing on characters of color, female characters, or femslash. And 100% of these vids were chosen for how they are filled with fannish love and joy.

How did you discover the show?
I saw it on tumblr a lot, naturally, after s1 dropped it really took off and i was super curious about it because i was a HUGE fan of atla! but i was also like ârobot... cats...â and so i didnt watch it right away lmao, ive posted about this before but i ended up watching this amv shortly after it came out and after that i was like âi HAVE to watch thisâ (just watched the amv again and its still rly good, damn it reminds me how good s1 was........)
Was it love at first sight or did it take you a while to get into the show?
it was completely love at first site!!! u know lance won my heart the second he opened his mouth, and i was impressed right away by how lovely it was, how creative and scifi fun it was, i loved the music and the updated designs and i was in it for the diversity tbh. i knew starting this show could never be undone with âgirl, youve already activated my particle ba--â âLANCE.â how poetic is it that a shance moment brought me hereÂ
Do you have a favorite Paladin?
wonder who that could be............ Lance............. my son........ he is so excited and open-hearted, but so capable and smart in so many ways. he has Been There for the team in so many ways, from hugely significant emotional support to skilled tactical coverage, all the way up until he literally died saving a team mate, and this wasnt even his first close call. he can be petty and short-tempered cos hes young and working stuff out, but he is so gotdang selfless and beautiful and charming and i LOVE...
Do you have a favorite Lion? (If itâs different from your fav paladin, why?)
*looks down at the blue slippers on my feet, looks up at the blue lion toy on my desk shelf* yea i got a fav.... tbh blue is so sweet and smart and i love her, and black is growing on me in a MAJOR way, mysterious and wise and full of Love for shiro, much like i hope to be
Do you have a favorite Villain?
HAGGAR!!! BITCH!!!!!!!!! my bias was skewed from day 1 the second she opened her mouth and cree summers voice came out, and when she started showing concern for zarkon i knew it was over for me, i knew they were gonna cut me deep w her history. ive said since the beginning that haggar was gonna be the main villain, and i believe it more than ever now that voltron kinda killed her husband and lost her son in a void. her backstory reveal rocked me to my core, and i care very much about honerva and haggar!! ive always felt like the final conflict is gonna come down to haggar and allura tbh
Do you have a favorite Alien Race? (recurring and/or minor)
i rly like alteans, i know theyre just pretty hyper advanced space elves, but WHATEVER. also loved the mermaid aliens and whatever blaytz is, and my love of the biibohbiis is eternal. i hope we see more cool aliens! also shout out to that hot rebel lady that died in pidges arms, i forget what theyre called... also, can we meet whatever mixed w a galra to make antok t b h?
Favorite side / other character(s)- Rebels, General, Blade of Mamora, Garrison, etc?
rolo, nyma, and beezor hold a rly special place in my heart. i was so excited when they came back!! the blades are very much my Aesthetic (TM), and those mermaid freedom fighters were great, also those married gay rebels posted in that ice cave that helped shiro.... i like a lot of the side characters tbh.Â
lbr though, the real favs are the biibohbiis
How/Why did you join the fandom?
i came in initially to consume the shallura content tbh (this was before it got âââcancelledâââ by antis, and i was very excited to see a black woman in a popular ship for gotdamn once. yea im bitter). i started rping p quick after watching it all, i just really wanted to write lance, then i got into an rp with a keith and the ship was unlocked in my heart for All Time. this was around the time that i stopped drawing, i held on for as long as i could and used to post fanart, but it didnt last long. kept me inspired to keep writing tho, and thats good cos i need to be making something!! now its getting me back into drawing and im thankful for that, big ups to shance fandom within the fandom for being da bes!!
Care to share a favorite headcanon?
shit... i wasnt ready for this... i dont really have any relevant hcs that i can think of right now! ummmm i think that the garrison knows more than we think, and that there are going to be some Interesting revelations when the team goes home. im suspicious of how quick they were to jump on and contain shiro at the beginning without so much as letting him speak, how close the base was to the blue lion, and the fact that tex kogane saw the lion and was immediately like âshould we call the garrison?â (realistically he could be saying that cos, i mean, who else nearby would know about bizarre aircraft than a piloting academy, but still!)
What do you think is the best part of the show?
honestly there is a lot i love about the show, but i guess the Best part is the characters and the bonds we see growing between them as the series progresses! the show has gone into much more engaging, interpersonal depth than i ever hoped for, and the bottom line is that love and compassion are the things that make life worth fighting for.
ive also talked before, i think rambling in the tags of a post lol, about how i love the fresh, fun, creative take on fantasy scifi that i have missed in recent media, and the optimism that runs as an undercurrent to it all.Â
Any hopes and wishes for future episodes / seasons?
i obviously just want lances personal arc to come to a head already!! his character has been quietly and steadily growing in the background of all of this, and his growth is just so human and heartfelt in the midst of all of this intergalactic drama. he is just a boy from cuba who is so good and selfless that he has literally died defending the universe, and he deserves a real, genuine time to shine!
Do you think youâll stick it out until the end of the show?
ABSOLUTELY, this show means so much to me and has ferried me thru a hard time in my life, on top of just being generally phenomenal and everything that i hope modern cartoons can become now that people are genuinely starting to realize that it is an art form!
Tag your friends or someone you want to get to know better
im way behind on my dash so idk who has and hasnt done this, also no pressure to do this if u dont want to but
@ifellfromtheskies @rainyfeet @kitausu @rigb0ner annnnd idk whoever else wants to do it! tons of ppl i could tag bc all my mutuals are da bes and i wanna get to know them better, but have at it!

(part 1) ur gonna roast me for this but im legit curious why mafia AUs are so bad? im asking in a non confrontational way, i get it romanticizing mafia is wrong, but i also believe that 1)most mafia AUs are a really toned down type of mafia;2)they do make for some interesting kinds of dynamics with fanart and with fics; 3)in a fic specifically u can create your own world and call something mafia and still make it so they don't kill innocent people but only idk members of other gangs or sth
(part 2) plus theyre a way to put ur charas in a completely diff context and see what theyll do. i mean i dont believe that writing ships in a certain context (like mafia) equals romanticizing that context. mafia AUs arent even my fav things to read (in fact i almost never do), im sure many ppl romanticize it and i obvs dont agree with that but im just trying to udnerstand bc i believe fandoms are a way to explore things that we normally wouldnt.
Iâm not gonna roast you donât worry xD okay wait let me check if I replied to this already if yes Iâm gonna c/p because itâs half past midnight otherwise Iâll just go at it again wait *checks tags* fff obviously I donât have a general post but anyway pls read this after youâve done with my post and then this which is also choke-full of links. plus for a (not nice) laugh: here. AH WAIT I FOUND THE POST.
okay, so, letâs have it out of the way: I have nothing against mob aus or crime aus. I have a problem against calling them mafia AUs because in the US mafia = organized crime at large, in Italy mafia = ACTUAL EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ACTIVELY HARMFUL. now that I introduced the topic Iâll c/p you the reply I gave to another anon who while discussing the issue pointed out that most writers donât even know Italian mafia is a thing, which is pretty much on the same discourse so...
*The thing is - in the US it might not be enough of a deal anymore and I honestly do get why people make the mafia = regular mobsters, since the mafia was the first foreign organized crime being exported to the US via italian immigrants (sorry if this sounds horrible in English but I just woke up and I still didnât have coffee) so I understand that mafia became the umbrella term.But the thing is that - as you said, these people donât even know that thereâs a mafia in Italy anymore or where the word comes from.
 Iâm going to link to italiansreclaimingitalyâs tag about the mafia and its perception outside Italy because they posted about this extensively and itâs an excellent resource, but meanwhile Iâm gonna do a very short bullet point list and about the topic:
Mafia might not be a big deal in the US, but it still is here. We have the beauty of four different mafias (Cosa Nostra - the Sicilian one, camorra which is the one in Campania but has tendrils spread everywhere, the 'ndrangheta which is in Calabria and the Sacra Corona Unita in Puglia) which are all active [especially camorra and 'ndrangheta] and whose actions have direct impact (negative) on our economy and on our society. Actually mafias are one of the main reasons weâre currently economically fucked up, and if I start talking about how mafia culture keeps some areas literally backwards I could talk about it for three months.
There are still people who are killed for standing up against them. These days the most prominent personality is Roberto Saviano who is a writer who dared to put together a book documenting minutely the way camorra works and heâs been living under protection for years by this point. Like, they want him dead because he wrote a book. And Iâm sorta sure that he was talking about leaving Italy and going to the US after years of sticking with it here because he canât take it anymore but I donât know if it was a taken decision or if itâs still debating it.
It wasnât even thirty years ago that we had the stragi di mafia - in english itâd be something like the mafia slaughters, basically around the beginning of the nineties there were a number of bombs planted by the mafia targeting people who were trying to oppose it including judges Falcone and Borsellino, actually the anniversary of Falconeâs death is like... tomorrow. And theyâve killed people for way longer than that. Here is a list of only Cosa Nostra victims including the ones from the eighties/nineties. And people are still dying because of it. The slaughters Iâm referring to are just the ones in the nineties which are enough of a number.
They also perpetuate a culture where if you testify against your mafia-employed relatives youâll be shunned forever. There are women who testified against their families and couldnât see their children anymore never mind that they werenât automatically considered a relative anymore the moment they sided against the mafia. Some people have committed suicide after becoming witnesses also because our police force/justice system can be terribly non-supportive in this kind of situation so they got left on their own. Never mind that back in the day - it was the beginning of the nineties? - I recall at least a particular story of - I think, correct me if I remember wrong but I canât remember the names for the life of me - where this guy testified against the local mafia when he either used to work for them or was forced to pay them the pizzo and in retaliation his six-year old (or five? Anyway he had a son younger than ten for sure) got kidnapped, killed and thrown into acid to dispose of the body. That happened in what, 1993? 1994? Itâs pretty much yesterday. And now the camorra is doing the same - thereâs a list here of camorra victims among which accidental passerbys that got killed because they were in the way which I can tell just by glancing is not complete. And Iâm not even going into the 'ndrangheta. That is to say, here mafia still kills people and cripples our country.
Now, I get that itâs a word, but the point was: letâs say that instead of the Italians the Japanese came to the US first and the umbrella word for organized crime was yakuza rather than mafia and letâs say yakuza was still what it was originally in Japan while in the US it stopped being a big deal and people write yakuza!AU instead of mafia AU. Letâs say someone Japanese gets angry at that and goes like 'listen the yakuza is a real deal it does this this this and that and itâs a plague in our country so can you please at least look it up before writing your fanficâ, which is what had happened way back then when this whole mafia and fanfic thing blew up. A bunch of people told us to get over it because itâs just a word and if itâs a problem in Italy itâs not in the US so why should they care? Now, if we had been Japanese (or Chinese or Russian or Mexican) would they have said the same thing? Considering the general tumblr attitude Iâm pretty sure they would have received either an apology or 'this is an important deal letâs keep that in mindâ with signal boost reblogs and stuff.Â
Itâs the fact that we should get over people not knowing that itâs still a real problem for us and that they canât take five seconds to google it that is the problem imo. Especially when instead of mafia au you can just say mobsters au or tag it as organized crime and everyone is a lot happier, mostly because as the tag above explains romanticising the mafia is a good thing for them because it means they can act outside Italy with less stigma because everyone thinks that the mafia is dead or not relevant anymore, if Iâm explaining myself. (And itâs active outside Italy - like, there was a mafia kill in Germany in 2007 where six people died (sorry the link is in Italian but there isnât an English wiki page, if you look the city up youâll find something probably) and it was because of the 'ndrangheta.
Iâd really like to not get worked over it because it meant it was a thing of the past y'know, but the problem is that it isnât and Iâd rather spread some awareness in hope some of these writers look it up (because itâs a good thing that people know what mafia is since as stated they have tendrils everywhere - if you read Savianoâs book the entire first chapter is about how camorra regularly deals with Chinese import/export in Italy for one) than shrug and figure that since theyâll think everything is good for fanfic then itâs not even worth my time.*
Now, ^^^ that was the c/p-ed reply that should answer most of your doubts. What I didnât address was:
im sure many ppl romanticize it and i obvs dont agree with that but im just trying to udnerstand bc i believe fandoms are a way to explore things that we normally wouldnt.
aaaand as we say here in Italy, this is where the donkey falls (sorry we have weird sayings), because in theory thereâs nothing wrong with that... except that in 99% of the mafia aus Iâve seen around the thing is that theyâre supposed to be cute.
like, I see a lot of shit with TINY MAFIA BOSS STEVE ROGERS with RUSSIAN ENFORCER BUCKY (????? bucky isnât even russian???) and the yoi thing I saw before had the japanese character being the leader of a russian mafia gang which is... like... guys it doesnât happen it really doesnât, and a lot of them re-use wrongly terminology taken from the godfather without context or knowing what the hell it means, and itâs always from the criminalsâ pov and theyâre somehow seen as criminals doing justice where the police canât (???) and like... no. mafia bosses/enforcers/employees are bad people period, and at least here if you try to leave or repent they kill your family in retribution. like, not even ten years ago thereâs been a woman who used to belong to a mafia family (or one colluded with the mafia) who testified and her entire town/family shunned her and she couldnât take it anymore and... killed herself drinking acid if I donât recall wrong. itâs not even special cases. this shit is not funny, itâs not cute, itâs not adorable and itâs not good fodder for your imagine your otp scenario (srsly I saw one like.. let me find it,
LIKE. just look at this shit. in a regular context, the enforcer goes to the show owner to force them to pay a monthly sum to their boss lest they destroy their shop and their lives and their familyâs life never mind that mafia culture is deeply homophobic so the mafia enforcer flirting with the shopkeeper is like completely fucking out of the question. I mean, people here like to shit on the sopranos but that show was actually excellent representation of Horrid Criminals Who Were Never Supposed To Be Good People and the small arc that happened when one of tonyâs friends turned out to be gay (closeted) was REALLY well done. btw, it ended that when they found out he was gay most of the crowd rejected him and thought badly of him until I think they killed him also for other reasons, but that spiraled from finding out he liked dick. and thatâs american mafia that they actually based on well-done research of the culture in Italy it came from, I assure you that here it doesnât work that differently. like. the shit above is so inaccurate and frankly offensive, itâs like... I get people romanticizing problematic stuff but the thing is that when you tell them that itâs actually offensive you get brushed off as âah well youâre being too sensitive itâs just a word u__uâ. now, Iâm all for exploring shit we wouldnât be into, but not like THAT, because thatâs like mafia romantic comedy and thatâs not how it works. now, you wanna do a fic where the mafia characters are deeply flawed and bad people and the police tries to catch them? fine, great, go ahead. you wanna do a fic where the enforcer above deals with dunno an entire life of internalized homophobia when he finds the shopkeeper attractive and feels conflicted over having to con money out of him and doing horrible shit for a living and maybe understanding that crime isnât worth it and then he actually collaborates with the police and gets shit from about everyone he knows and loves for that? okay, awesome, go ahead. nothing bad in that.
but the shit above is not exploring things we wouldnât/writing darkfic, itâs THINKING THAT A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION WHICH IS STILL A THING IN OUR PART OF THE WORLD IS CUTE AND ADORABLE. and that only plays in their favor because it takes the bad aura out of the word and we really should not let that happen. like. that is what is bad about mafia aus and mafia discourse, that people donât realize the mafia is alive and well and thriving and not a thing that doesnât exist or a generic word for organized crime.
you wanna write the shit above? okay, CALL IT CRIME AU or mob au, not mafia au.
btw, add-on: idk if I mentioned it in the above post or not, but in case I didnât, I said that people would balk at the idea of a mexican cartel au. sadly since then Iâve found out a fandom where not only there is one but itâs also extra cutesy and people apparently love it and it has a bunch of kudos/comments and idek Iâm not even touching that with a ten foot pole but like... Iâve avoided it and everything that author wrote because to me itâs just... nope. like, nope. if you do mafia aus donât make them fucking cute. (also: in the same fandom I had to mute a v. famous fanartist whose art I actually liked but did cutesy mafia aus and.. like... haahahhaahahahahaha nah sorry. canât go there. nope.)

My AP art teacher because our class was super tiny, 12 kids, and it really felt like a family?? She was a-okay with letting us all goof around and say weird shit, she was really chill and funny and like. part teacher, part friend, which was always nice. As for my AP gov teacher, he was SO. FUCKING. FUNNY. OH MAN. NOT EVEN ON PURPOSE he just like? put up with SO MUCH? we had some real character kids in that class and my teacherâs reactions were HILARIOUS. he had a sarcastic streak too so his responses were equally as funny when someone did something weird.

Aside from the humor that class was really interesting, and heâs a really good, invested teacher - he wanted us to learn, heâs super passionate about government and history, and he always started off each class with 2 current events which was really nice and helped me learn more about things happening in the world too!!! overall that was like my fav non-art class Iâve ever taken!!!!
