hey there ;)

[nostalgicmiscellaneous]

Lol as someone who actually works in the industry: you guys are very, very naive if you believe a tumblr blog would tell you secrets about the behind the scenes of Bridgerton for a bubble of specific fans, and even less that someone who actually have access to executives would be around telling so many incorrect stuff that can be proven wrong with some clicks. And would tell you about the actors that way, while working for Netflix. It's hilarious because production is segmented, there are different crews as well, and it simply wouldn't have production/executive inside information if it worked close enough to the actors day by day to know them, and they wouldn't work with all of them to know them personally, repeatedly in the way it says, as the teams are the same for a long time and they all have made their opinions on actors very clear. It's so stupid that it made the mistake of telling you all it doesn't work with crew. They really don't know how a production of a show works and it's funny to see anyone believing it. Then again, only Kanthony and Benophy fans do.

Not only that, contradicting not simply Netflix's news of profitability and success of Season 3, but in fact, actual market news and data releases, Investments prospects, and investors reports, plus licensing, that anyone with any inside information would know it's done publicly and show the actual success and profit delivered by Season 3. To even try to say it lost money, Lol. The data is there, if you worked in a exec. position, even management position, you wouldn't say something so ignorant.

Critically, official certified critics, and audience numbers averaged above Season 2 and on par with Season 1, and you can also check the aggregate of that on RT, IMDB, sites that reunited and average the score. Audience is measured not only by Netflix, but Luminate and Nielsen. Data that is ALSO PUBLIC. And that showed the successful amount of views, specially recovering audience that Season 2 had lost. It was also superior to QC. Netflix also ranks #6 ( above Season 2, again) as their most viewed seasons. Another public information.

It becomes evident you're dealing with a fan of Anthony and Kate and Sophie and Benedict when it spills target hate for particular actors, with nonsense that is so painfully clear from a fandom member, a mere angry fan trying with a insane agenda.

That's the problem when someone has an agenda against some actors and some fictional characters, a TV show, specifically a season. They throw away logic and believe anyone.

There is no insider, you have actual market information and investors/ experts that are not even Netflix connected telling you the success of season 3. Anyone who works for the industry would know that. Lol

There is no inside information of actors from that person. All cast and crew, and connected workers, and adjacents from media, PR and more, have their words and testaments to the cast and crew openly at their socials, dismantling their obsessive nonsense, contradicting them. I contradict them, lol, as i've actually met some of them and know their work ethics and behavior.

And most importantly, the so-called ''insider'' is not even from or in the UK…yes, i know exactly what i am talking about. But for now, i wont publish. For now.

Just be aware of bullshit and propaganda with fanwar nonsense. You're dealing with someone who is simply a discontent Kanthony & Benophy fan, and a Simone fan and hater of other actors in the show ( VERY OBVIOUS THE TARGETED HATE), connected ( lol very much connected) to a blog who has adopted the name of "Anti" since the start, who hates Polin. Some people just want to create a narrative, and while they say that Benedict is the most popular and wanted character for the GA, try to justify an eventual less number say it would be S3 fault, when S3 actually revamped the numbers from S2 and had incredible profitability ( again, public data).

But be aware that we know with 100% certainty, people like that do not work for Netflix. They don't even have a clue what a netflix contract is and how it works.

Also, a warning: People should have their faces and real names on when they say things, responsibility is a must, don't you all agree? Sometimes people think they are protected under the anonymity of a tumblr url to lie their hearts out and become desperate later when they have to own personally, with their actual faces and real names, and social reputation, the stupidity of their words.

And in a more fundamental sense, grow up. Tomorrow, someone else can simply create a blog telling the opposite about your favorites, their work, their seasons, it's a game nobody wins when fans act that desperate and stupid, lying and manipulating.

Or worse: perhaps someone with actual information can start posting, and you wouldn't like what they have to say…reflect on that.

[bluerose5]

I'm writing this because a) it's my blog, I can do whatever the hell I want and b) I've been seeing such an increase of these types of posts on my dash and for the website/app that preaches that they're about "community", some of y'all are pretentious as fuck when it comes to fandom.

Why am I seeing all these damn posts lowkey belittling people, whether it be in a "joking" sense or otherwise, about how they do fandom? Then the OPs wanna cry in the replies about how they didn't mean it that way when people address it, and some of these posts go completely unchallenged as well. And the fact that so many people are reblogging these posts is so discouraging! Y'all, I hate to tell you but just because you headcanon things for this reason over another, just because you stick to a certain amount of canon compared to others, or you characterize so and so character based off of these specific bits of canon, oooo it's so "in-character"... Say it with me now, THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A BETTER FAN IN ANY INHERENT SENSE.

These posts have been veiling these sentiments under joking tones or by specifically trying to make it a preference thing, but there is often an air of superiority to them that is so easy to see, especially as a writer. I cannot stress this enough. STOP ALIENATING YOUR FAN CREATORS BY SUGGESTING ONE METHOD OF FANDOM IS INFERIOR TO OTHERS. If it's not hurting anyone, then be supportive. Now, of all times, is not when we should be tearing others down with these slick ass remarks, thinking y'all actually did something with those posts. And if anyone reading this feels guilty or defensive about what I said for some reason or another, then evaluate why that is and how you can do better to support your fandom creators better.

To any creators who need to hear this, write that crackfic, write that ship with no interaction, write that crossover. Get silly with it, and just write it, no matter what the haters say! I remember when I was younger and just started reading fanfiction, some of my favorite indulgent fics were those where the cast of characters would read the book/watch the movie/interact with their chosen media they were from. Those fics got me through hard times, and I loved the author's notes where the writers spoke with the characters. Point is, don't let anyone take your fun, magic, and joy out of fandom. Don't let them convince you that what you do is somehow lesser or "cringe" because you're having a good time. Somewhere, someone out there is your target audience and they're more than grateful for what you do! 💙

[wolsalwastaken]

Friendly reminder that reblogging my posts with hate for what I’m doing not only gives me free engagement but promotes me. Whatever irks you so much about me hosting a fun community event, I’m not sure, especially since I’m working within canon limitations! If you’re the type of person who feels the need to personally share my content to make fun of it or tell me to stop, thanks for the sentiment, but I’ll pass.

While I’m sorry your stellar sense of humor didn’t appreciate a funny joke, it wasn’t targeting your audience! Anyways, wanna be clear on the fact that I am not upset or angry or hurt or whatever by these replies. They just give me something to laugh at, and free engagement. Keep it up if you want, because I don’t care, but I really think you should take a moment to reflect on yourself on why you feel personally attacked at someone drawing the cat devil in short shorts. Here, accept my YouTube apology video!

Regardless of whether you despise or love my work, any engagement helps me in the algorithm and spreads my art. So, I give my thanks to all of those supporting my art, intentional or not.

…

Ok ok, jokes aside, seriously thank you guys for all the support on the FHN event! Really didn’t actually think anyone would participate, but lo and behold, here we are! I’ve genuinely really enjoyed looking at all of your amazing art (you guys are so talented btw wtf???). Wanted to acknowledge all the talented participants, and I hope to see more! Thank you all for your artwork, I’ve gotten lots of giggles, because you guys are as funny as you are talented artists.

Now, wanna clarify, my above statement on haters isn’t vague posting any 1 person, I’ve had a few people do this, but wanted to mention it because it’s honestly hilarious. If you see anyone doing it don’t harass them obviously, but don’t harass or shame others for drawing this stuff either! Kindness goes both ways.

I also wanna say, just in general, wow you guys are so nice. Like genuinely. The amount of amazingly kind people I’ve had reblog + comment on my art who genuinely enjoyed it is like… crazy. I’m not used to getting much positive feedback on my art, and like I wanna sincerely say I really appreciate it. It makes my day, like really. You guys are so accepting and nice to newcomers and it’s just really nice to see! Ending the sappiness here, I hope you continue to enjoy my art!

Leaving on that note, here’s a compilation of the wonderful people who have submitted their art thus far (in order of submission time), be sure to give them some love because they deserve it! (Imo the posts aren’t getting even half the attention they deserve- really there are some incredibly artists)

More to come soon, as this challenge is never ending!

[carouselunique]

Is it true that there's no animosity between you and... you know, you know who. You never talk about her in any way. I guess I'm curious. You guys seemed like really close friends and then just weren't friends at all. And there was some stuff she said that seemed very targeted at you...

I don't know if she feels any animosity toward me or not any more. Our mutual friends have said she doesn't and I take them on their word in that regard, assuming that if they have an answer for me it's because they're aware how she feels. I wouldn't know and it's not my place to put words in her mouth.

I haven't spoken to her/about her in a long time and the only time she even crosses my mind is when people bring her up to me. As for me feeling any animosity? I'll admit my feelings on her these days are complicated and way too nuance-core for people who aren't my friends to hear about but I wouldn't call them animosity in any way. I inherently want people my friends care about to live well because I care about my friends, and anyone my friends care about by proxy and I still share friends with her. I would never wish ill on people my friends care about so animosity doesn't fit into that by definition. I'd say I'm hurt more than anything and even then I've worked through a lot of it with trusted friends who have helped me deal with my emotions in a healthy way.

(Besides, my own life struggles keep me from even being able to invest time into animosity. I have to expend that energy loving my family, doing my best to support them during our struggles. And I've never been a hateful person it isn't in me. I would rather play 'Hot To Go' by Chappell Roan and teach my dad how to do the hand gestures to help him strengthen his muscles again than focus on hating anyone...)

I try not to think about her because it hurts. I often think that people forget that I'm a real person outside of her sphere, and that I wouldn't want to talk about what happened because I truly did consider her a friend for a long time. And when someone I consider a friend appears to not regard me with care any more suddenly and I don't even have closure on that... well... it hurts... A lot. Of course I never talk about it.

And I'm not stupid, I have seen some stuff she's said that I've gathered was about me. I remind myself that she has a right to vent in her own spaces and I truly mean that... it's just a shame that her own spaces have people who then have taken these things to me to show me (after all, I wouldn't have even seen these things myself if not for third-party anons going 'this u?') saying it is my own fault because I was a terribly cruel friend or my own fault for not listening to warnings about her when I had the chance and that makes me a stupid gullible bitch. You lot haven't seen some of the awful shit about me from some of her more ravenous fans and haters I've seen over the years that I've had to let roll off my back in the fear it would bring backlash - not even to me, to her. I don't want to be the cause of any hatred going to anyone.

Also I'm just not going to ever talk about the details of our fallen friendship or our fallen relationship. That's private. She might be a public person to some extent but I never was, even if I do gain some measure of small fandom for my work one day I'm just private about personal matters especially raw ones. I almost deleted this ask entirely but Idk I never stated that it bothers me when people talk to me about her from my own mouth, so I guess that's what this ramble is.

If you send me anything about Lily Orchard it will not be addressed. I am not a part of her life not even through our mutual friends. I do not know or care what's going on with her public/personal life. I haven't kept up. I will never keep up. Don't treat me as an extension of the situation because I am not in the situation. In the most plainly stated sense of the word: Leave me the Hell alone. (...pretty please.)

All I've wanted this entire time was to be left alone to process everything in a healthy, peaceful way. I'm workin' on it.

[charles-leclerc-official]

no joke was about to ask about Charles and the Villeneuves when I saw your reblog lol. Why do they hate him? Is it truly just because he didn’t ask for permission to do the helmet? Or was there a problem before that. It seemed so weird at the time that it was such an issue

Jacques Villeneuve disliked Charles well before the helmet thing. He has been criticizing him excessively since he became a Ferrari driver. The reason is unclear, Jacques is just kind of a professional hater, Charles is but one of his favorite subjects. I think it's the links with Ferrari and the fact that Charles has been compared to his father on occasion. Charles does get compared to Gilles Villeneuve sometimes, and maybe Jacques doesn't like that.

It's mostly out of pettiness, the core reason has never revealed itself. He may just dislike Charles with no good, reason, I suspect it has something to do with him being a Ferrari driver and being talented, but idk.

Maybe it's as simple as the fact that Charles is a talented driver at Ferrari and Jacques never did? It's weird because he didn't do this with Seb or Kimi as much(again he's a professional hater so I am not sure anyone on the grid is safe)

The helmet thing last year was the latest in years of weirdly targeted haterism.

Bracing myself for whatever nonsense he's going to cook up for this weekend.

Spider Modern AU cause I can't help myself

I've seen so many people doing this and I love so much so I shall be participating as well. I'll also be doing other characters but this post is dedicated to Spider rn. I should really be working on my finals rn but here I am.

Spider is 100% a theater kid. Like no question about it. This kid can sing, he can dance, he can do gymnastics. He's the theatre troupe's pride and joy honestly, he's always pulling big stunts that wow the audience. This also ties into his love of storytelling in general so of course he's a theatre kid. Which ALSO means a lot of his playlist is musical songs cause.. ya know, obviously. I'd imagine Kiri actually secretly gave him access to her Spotify so he'd got access to premium (secret meaning everybody but Neytiri knows tbh). 

I think Spider actually does pretty well academically. He's a fast learner and his brain absorbs things like a sponge so once he understands a concept, it's all A's for him. It kind of pisses Kiri off how smart he is without trying sometimes, but she's also super proud of him for proving his haters (and her mom) wrong. 

This kid is the Anti-Bully of the school. He sees anyone bullying anyone and he's already aiming a punch at their face. Because of that, he's kind of seen as the protector of underclassmen and targets in general so he's pretty well liked generally, except for by the traditionally popular kids. Also not super popular with parents cause all that really sticks in their heads is violent Tarzan kid. He kind of stops with the physical violence once Kiri expresses her worry for him and how she doesn't want him to just blindly resort to violence all the time. But then he starts making comments to bullies that piss them off equally so there's no real winning for him here lol.

I think Spider likes working with his hands a lot so on top of acting in theatre, he also comes up with and constructs a lot of things for set and they always look incredible. 

Also, inspired by @be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie 's latest post, he joins the cheer team in solidarity with Lo'ak because he wants to get close to Tsireya. Refer to her post for more detail on that, I reblogged it if that helps. 

Despite being a year older than both Neteyam and Kiri, Spider and Neteyam actually share a lot of classes because Neteyam is a star student and skipped a grade. Kiri could probably also skip a grade if she wanted to, but her head's a little too in the clouds during classtime for any of her teachers to recommend it, even if she does get good grades. 

Spider still has his hair long, though I'm not sure if he would let it just endlessly keep growing or he would trim it here and there to his shoulders just to manage the curls a bit. I imagine his hair grows pretty fast so maybe once a year he chops it back to his shoulders and in like three months it's already almost to his elbows. He's gotten pretty good at braiding though, so when he can't be bothered to put effort into maintaining his curls, he just brushes his hair violently and braids it all in like dutch braids or other complicated hairstyles. The girls' soccer team probably starts recruiting him to braid their hair before games (based on my own experience lmao).

On a more serious note with his home situation... I think as a kid he was probably passed through multiple foster homes and all of them kind of said that he's too much for them. Then he ends up with the McCoskers and while they're not ideal they never say anything like that or try to get rid of him (yes they neglect him but seeing how he was treated before and they're not kicking him out, he's okay with them just giving him a place to stay). At least I'd imagine until maybe something big happens like he overworks himself or something and who notices other than the new family in town? The Tonowari family. And then they swoop in and are like 'mine now' and Spider's just like what? Unconditional love? A home where they notice I'm gone? Where I don't have to find my own food? What is this?

BUT IF TRUDY LIVED: so I imagine as a kid he'd still maybe be passed through the foster system a little, but Trudy is invested in his well-being, she's just still convinced there's some couple out there who'd be better for Spider overall until she sees all of them rejecting this perfect kid and she's like screw it and screw my own problems, I'll work through them for this kid but I'm taking him. And he's a happy boy thank you very much, loves his mama to death. 

I'll probably have stuff to add eventually but take this for now.

Targaryen haters are maddening

Can people stop with labeling the Targaryen's as colonizer's and Nazis? People really do have no reading comprehension whatsoever towards the world of asoiaf, specifically the Targs in general, by mislabeling them and hating on them for supposedly 'colonizing' Westeros. How can they label the Targ's as colonizers, yet ignore the fact that House Stark's ancestors literally did the same exact thing?

Aegon the Conqueror united Westeros with his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys. But when he and his sisters conquered over the Seven Kingdoms and united them together, they did not erase any part of the Seven Kingdoms' ways. They did not force the people of the Seven Kingdoms to follow in their ways, nor did they force the people to abandon the gods they followed for the gods of Valyria, where the Targ's were originally from. They allowed the people to keep their traditions, beliefs, and customs even when united under Aegon's rule. Nor did they force the people into practicing close-related incestuous relations, and they definitely did not force any of the people to replace their banners, items of value, and ways of living for their own.

The Targaryen's are NOT 'Nazis' for utilizing their dragons. Targaryen's did not commit specific acts of genocide against a race, culture, or people such as Nazi's have done. I myself am Jewish. Nowhere in asoiaf, GoT, or HOTD does it show or say that the Targaryen's eradicated or went after a specific race, people, or culture that wasn't theirs. Did they use their dragons in war, and burned people that didn't swear fealty to them? Yes. But they did NOT target those people because of their specific race, nor did they try to eradicate race/cultures just because the Targaryen's were different from them. In asoiaf and GoT, we have one character that actually does the opposite, Dany. Daenerys conforms to other cultures and keeps an open mind about their traditions, ways of living, and conforms to those ways because they are her people. She learns about her peoples livelihoods, what they value, and does not judge other people for those things, nor does she attempt to kill anyone or eradicate their culture or race just because they are different from her and what her House used to do, or believe in. There is also the fact that during their reign, the Targaryen's conformed and kept the religion of the Faith of the Seven, rather than attempting at pushing for their own gods onto others, and eradicating those that had belief said Faith. The Targaryen's do not commit genocide towards a specific race or culture. They are NOT Nazi's in any form of way, just because they have dragons and utilize said dragons. Perhaps people should spend time on studying their history, and what specific terms actually mean, instead of throwing around labels towards fictional characters, who committed around the same acts of violence every other House did in the series (or are we just ignoring the fact that Westeros warred within itself before Aegon united the lands, or the fact that the First Men first came to Westeros' shores, and decided to eradicate the Children of the Forest?)

It is entirely ridiculous to hate on the Targaryen's for conquering Westeros, and labeling them as 'colonizers', compared to the First Men, and ancestors of the Stark's. When they arrived to Westeros- they had chopped down Weirwoods, which were sacred to the gods and Children of the Forest. They warred against the Children, took their lands, and diminished them. Though a pact of peace was created between them, it does not change the fact that the First Men enacted horrible things to the Children of the Forest, and took lands that the Children once inhabited as theirs to chop down the forests and build settlements and roads for their own people, considering they were outsiders to the land.

I also see people calling the Targ's slavers. Slavery was practiced in Old Valyria, by many other Houses that weren't just Targaryen. Essos continued its slavery, but when the Targ's went to Westeros before the Doom, slavery was outlawed and they did not continue its practices. Not to mention, Daenerys, is fighting against slavery. She is attempting to dismantle the practice, and considers everyone as equal, being the first Targaryen to fight against slavery- considering she herself was once a slave. Daenerys is NOT a slaver. She does not want to own others, make them do her bidding, and treat them as lower than her. She herself was once a slave, and does not want to see it continued in others. Daenerys' arc centers around her compassion, empathy, and her drive to end the suffering for those others see as 'lowly' or 'property'. She is the voice speaking for those who have suffered, who gives them strength and courage to not be owned by others. She is the driving force that enables the people to free themselves from the masters.

A comment I saw on Tik Tok inspired this little rant... I just beg for people to gain some reading comprehension every once in a while. For my sanity.

[lilac-hecox]

When I saw that new discord created just for "rarepairs" I definitely got the vibe that its targeted towards the ianthony fandom in disguise. It's a shame that this fandom felt already so divided with one part of the fandom not giving smosh main channel or sketches a chance on smosh reddit and now same bad vibes are being bought on smoshblr. honestly it's giving "Oh I am not like others, I'm different" syndrome. It's completely alright to not connect with something, but to actively talk shit about it in fandom spaces and putting other creatives down who produce fan-content related to that is next level of weird. If you don't like something why are you even engaging with that piece of content? it's like those high school bullies. I'm sorry for this rant but it's really sad to see people dragging others down over *checks notes* fanfiction. like it's supposed to be something lighthearted and way of expression. And to these people acting holier than thou over a fanfic, while themselves dabbling with rpf which is itself a polarizing thing doesn't make sense. creating a whole server just to be a hater is crazy.

I think you're right and the server was born from a hate of the 'main' ship in our fandom and not created to celebrate the rare pairings in the fandom. Even so, to devote a whole channel so shitting on a pairing seems like too much to me, but again, if people don't like Ianthony, it is their prerogative and I was told by several members that the ianthony bashing was in good fun and for the most part I believe that. I think that the creator had some bad vibes and motives behind the server and kind of used it to further their own agenda.

I think a rare pair server is a really good idea but just less toxic. I was talking to @punk-gremlin about potentially making one (but tbh I do not have time to be a moderator so I would need a trusted moderator).

I will say though I saw others who also thought the server was for celebrating rare pairs and not tearing down the popular ones. When I addressed the issues with the creator I was told, "Well, you're an ianthony person i didn't think you would join the server." but the server isn't marketed as an anti-ianthony server, its a rare pairs server and I enjoy rare pairs like Amanda/Ian, Amanda/Shayne, etc.

Anyways, yes, tl;dr its okay to like and celebrate rare pairs, its okay to not like or be tired of the main pairing in the fandom, not okay to bully others in public spaces though.

Would anyone be interested in being a mod for a rare pair server that is made and not toxic?

[stoptaking-the-good-names]

Listen. I am not a hater. I never wish ill upon anyone. I truly want everyone in the world to be happy and healthy. I love cheering people on and watching people succeed, even people who I don’t know. I love when good things happen.

I am in love with Glen Powell, I am a complete girls girl and was therefore cheering for Sydney Sweeney (even though I’ve never actually watched anything with her in it), and I ADORE romcoms

That being said, I am actively rooting against that ‘Anyone But You’ movie

In part because of the whole PR thing. WHY did they think spreading rumors of an affair would look good for them or the production? Poor choice. I know that some people have the idea that there’s no such thing as bad press, but I disagree. That affair thing may have worked well in the early 2000s but I think that Gen Z is different and that just made us annoyed or even stop liking them. I don’t think they were expecting that, this is one of the first times that an adult romcom is being targeted for a Gen Z audience. They had to learn that the PR tactics that worked on older generations won’t work on us. It was an extremely poor choice.

And in part because that trailer looks so bad. The stiff acting, they have no chemistry, Sydney Sweeney over acting (I’m so sorry girl you are still amazing and wonderful and talented!!), why are they trying to make it look like a 50 shades thing - it’s making me cringe. Who the FUCK was in charge of casting?? They do not remotely look like they were in college together. Did they even have a chemistry test? I feel like they just picked two hot people that Gen Z/millennials liked and casted them. Literally, everything that I’ve been seeing being pushed by the film has been about how hot Glen Powell (and Sydney too, but less so) is and that’s why you should see it. ALSO OMG GLENS COSTUMES? The scene with the balloons where he was wearing headphones around his neck gave me the ick because I could tell they were trying to make him look younger. What age are they saying these characters are? Is Sydney’s character supposed to be 35 (glens age), is Glen supposed to be 25 (Sydney’s age while filming), are they meeting in the middle and saying they’re 30???

When Glens character said “how are we supposed to convince people that we like each other” I thought the exact same thing because I wanted to turn off the trailer by that point.

Also…. WHY are they fake dating? What’s the point?

I’m almost embarrassed FOR everyone involved. Also, please please please don’t come after me I’m just ranting! Everyone can have their own opinions and you are totally right to love the trailer and be excited for the movie! Maybe I’m wrong and the movie will be wonderful and a masterpiece! (I won’t watch it though so I’ll take someone’s word for it) I just wanted to rant! :)💗

[rockanroller]

fans trying to say people are mad about CNC are reaching so hard. CNC implies there’s consent you can still say “no” and you’re in a safe controlled environment with someone you trust. Are they trying to say that poison scene was just CNC? Just admit you have fetishes and kinks and put them in your show and apologize if it upset and harmed SA survivors instead of arguing with SA survivors. I’m 100% positive the only reason she defending Ralph is because he lets viv to steal his ideas without crediting him, beside Ralph has no self and just adopted a shitty Angel dust persona and it backfired on him heavily because he sexually harassed a minor and doesn’t want to face repercussions

that's all correct about CNC for sure. and it does come off like people are mis-judging the situation at hand. and--tbf--people misjudging and misunderstanding the nuances of sexual scenarios and sexualities and trauma etc. is very common. but i am also concerned it's partially to do with the execution of poison and angel dust.

sex sells but it's kind of counter-productive to use sex appeal while trying to show a character is traumatized or to make a bold statement about abuse or hypersexuality or trauma or what have you. it's kind of like that saying about satire, that it...

"requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize."

that's how i feel about poison/viv's general approach to sex & abuse. but, at the same time, i feel like it's really unclear *what* she's trying to make a statement about *exactly*. and i don't know if i've seen a clear answer from her on that (if anyone has feel free to toss it in my ask box) she seems to flip-flop between her defenses and i have no idea what her goal is. sometimes it's about trauma sometimes it's about empowerment sometimes it's just the haters hating, & so on.

idk about all that you said about raph having no self and adopting angel as his persona--but i've seen the same sentiment about viv using raph (and the trauma she claims he has but he's publicly stated he doesn't in the past) to defend/justify her fixation on mlm abuse. and raph's comment towards that minor was heinous, even if the age wasn't initially in the minor's bio it's still an awful mindset to have that you can say shit like that to anyone, and would still be sexual harassment were they an adult.

Can we all agree to say that there's a mean girls group on the fandom (especially on twitter) and that one of them is forcing the other to act like mean girls?? I don't wanna say any names, hope she'll understand by herself that I'm talking about her, but a mean girls group is the last thing this fandom need, especially not a mean girl who have a Zionist as one of her fav and think she's being cyber bullied on Tumblr cause from what I saw, this is NOT cyber bullying.

You can't make someone be mean if they don't want to be mean, though (in general). I don't think this person is to blame for others' choice. This person might instigate? Sure. But at the end of the day, it's an individual choice to be good, bad, nice, mean etc. Especially if you are in your 20s. I would not step on my values for anyone just to be friends with them. Conditional friendship is not a friendship. And why would I want to be validated by a bunch of people who don't like me for who I am?

I know what you mean by double standards... in general, many people in fandoms refuse to call out zionist, racist, homophobic etc behaviour when it comes to certain people but not when it comes to others.

(In this case, as an example: if Ale liked a very controversial post or tagged a zionist company multiple times, they would have a different reaction. That doesn't mean I encourage people to have this reaction when it comes to AW. Not at all!!! Just to be clear.)

BUT calling someone out, your favorite or not, is healthy and good for your moral compass. I call my favorites out and if that's what makes me a hater in their opinion, let me be seen as a hater.

And I do not allow any type of cyber bullying here but again, they are all free to think ehatever they want since they already feel free to make up things/lies about me and this blog, to take things out of context and encourage others to bully me and make me a target, send me multiple de*th threats, su*cide encouragements, call me names, take screenshots and cry about me just existing and so on.

I still struggle with being a people pleaser (I've always been one), but I draw the line when it comes to my beliefs and values.

I just hope they will realize that constructive criticism and having different RESPECTFUL opinions = normal and healthy!

Here's my advice

Stop being sexist against your own sex, and go get some therapy for several things

No rational human being wants you dead

But you do really like to be terrible and make yourself the victim

But I don't condone people telling you to off yourself

Grow a spine and realize when you're insulting people like me that have to deal with mental dissorders too. You're not the only one

Or perhaps simply move communities so you don't have to deal with people that have proper media literacy and a want to respect people with mental disorders. Either works

Again, obviously no rational human being wants you to die and no one should ever tell you to. But we don't want to deal with your shit if you're being sexist and ableist. Stop being an absolute hypocrite

Jeez, put your hate boner away, I can feel it from another continent

First of all, just because I don't wanna excuse female character's terrible behavior doesn't suddenly make me a "women hater" like you want to see me as, I don't care what gender Uzi is and still would've thought she's annoying brat. For the "ableistic" shit, as again, mental problems doesn't excuse terrible behavior, acting out only makes situation worse and people around either annoyed or creeped out (like Uzi's classmates but I guess their feelings don't matter near your gothic waifu) and for your "she's heavily implied to have BPD, PTSD, autism, etc." I have one small question - did Liam or Glitch officially state that Uzi has any of those? No? Then shut up about your headcannons, or rather delusions and projections, that has no ground to be used as argument.

Playing the victim, huh? Oh sorry, how dare I be openly upset about getting dogpiled and hated for my opinion that others, you as well, could've easily ignore. That people got butthurt I wasn't backing down and destroyed my reputation in return, blocking me, spreading how terrible I am, how wrong and toxic I am, encouraged others to do the same. You didn't need to do this, but you did and encouraged it anyway, not carring that I have problems, that I may not be doing great irl, that I actually might've had something to do with myself, only because you couldn't just move on. Just because fictional character and ship getting shitted on was more important in your eyes, compared to me who didn't harrass or insult anyone directly, you have fucked up priorities.

I had every right to get you all to fuck off, when you didn't wanna listen to any of my points AND ignored Lizard literally wishing me to die, or even someone close to me to die. You just want to have some kind of "enemy" of the fandom, target those who's vocal about their negative opinion about MD and make fandom bring them down and tier them apart, to feel better that you "defeated" them and saved the fandom from such "toxic" individual.

And who the hell are you to tell me or anyone else if they should leave the fandom? That "you" don’t wanna deal with my shit, when it's not even directed at anyone directly? Or is it more like "we accept you the way you are, cringe and free! ...until you have different opinion than we do"? Like the same thing with VanityMoth, with people like you invalidating his opinion that happened to be the one you don't agree with and making him this big asshole who's terrible and should just shut up for good. (I use him as example for how this isn't one time accident with me, I may not agree with every point he makes or his behavior, which might as well got worse because of huge hate he got, I speak here only for myself and how this kind of situation was towards me) It's not that people think you can't handle criticism, it's that you clearly show you can't.

AND...

Why I should ask anything from this person, who was all to happy to add fuel to the situation and clearly doesn't like me either? Heck no, they're in my block where they belong.

And therapy is expensive btw and with your creepy ass obsession towards me you need it more, perhaps in good place like Mount Massive Asylum OR perhaps listen to your own advice and leave me alone

[asher-agere]

I just read through your part five of bsd agere headcanons and omg SHIRASE IS FINALLY TALKED ABOUT BY SOMEONE WITHOUT INSULTING HIM!!!! I am even less normal about Shirase than I am about Fyodor. I’m his no.1 defender nobody gets him like I do.

So uhm. Request time!! Can you do headcanons for Adam being Shirase’s caregiver? I love their dynamic a lot and since Shirase is in Europe he probably does encounter Adam occasionally you know… I just love anything to do with Shirase honestly, he’s my silly thing!!!

Also if this wasn’t obvious by me saying I’m less normal about Shirase than I am about Fyodor, I’m the same anon who sent the Fyodor request. This isnt important or anything I just like being able to be recognized and stuff you know… maybe I’ll make a proper anon sign off soon idk.

Hi Anon! I’m so glad that I’ve found another Shirase supporter! :0 It’s unfairly hard to find us. I firmly believe that Shirase haters haven’t read Stormbringer and therefore can’t possibly fully understand his character, I like to see the best I suppose! I’m so happy to hear that someone likes what I do enough to make multiple requests! That’s such a crazy thing to me- Thank you so much!!

Onto the request though- I can absolutely do that! I adore ALL the dynamics from Stormbringer! That book has such a hold on my heart

Caregiver Adam + Little Shirase

✮⋆˙ I think that Adam would check in on Shirase a whole bunch as a sort of parting gift to Chuuya. He needs to do what’s best for Chuuya, and Chuuya wants his friends to be safe! Once Adam checks in on Shirase and finds a baby… Well he starts checking in on him a whole lot more!

✮⋆˙ As Adam starts taking care of Shirase I think Shirase would be pretty closed off. He doesn’t need help! And seeing Adam reminds him of Chuuya. Which leads to missing Chuuya. Which leads to crying. In the end Adam takes care of a crying baby a lot. But he doesn’t mind of course! He’ll gently give Shirase updates on how Chuuya is doing while he rocks the baby gently to calm him down enough to fall asleep

✮⋆˙ As they grow closer though and Shirase grows more comfortable he can be a super happy baby! In babyspace Shirase is just a clingy little guy. He’ll cling to Adam, all he wants is to be carried around! He doesn’t wanna play or talk, just wants to be held. Adam will just give him a pacifier and easily walk around. He’ll gently talk about things as he moves around, narrate what he’s doing, talk about his day, he knows Shirazu isn’t really listening, but if Shirase can hear his voice it’s a reminder he’s still there!

✮⋆˙ When Shirase’s in a bigger headspace he loves playing! He has a couple toys and he’ll force Adam to sit down and play with him! Adam doesn’t really understand playing pretend at first, but he gets the hang of it! Shirazu will always catch him off guard. For example Shirase can say there’s monsters coming in from the left! Then 5 minutes later you hear Adam “Have the monsters attacked us yet?” Shirazu will look up very confused (He totally didn’t forget), then he’ll just respond “Saw ice cream an’ wen’ away… Can I has ice cream?” Adam sometimes struggles to keep up

✮⋆˙ Shirase doesn’t always consider his surroundings, he breaks things a lot. But it’s never his fault! He’ll blame it on an imaginary friend, or a plushy! Adam is never quite fooled… Shirase is forced to admit he did it and the puppy dog eyes come out, hoping to avoid being yelled at. Unfortunately for him, robots are immune to puppy dog eyes! Adam would never yell at him anyway though. He just gets a small talk to about being careful! Shirazu thinks he’s won, Adam lets him think that

✮⋆˙ Shirase is a victim of ALL the android jokes. Adam will test them on anyone he can find, baby Shirase is the perfect target! Unfortunately most of them Shirase doesn’t get, but Adam has found that if he does funny sound effects or voice changers it gets the little one to laugh! He counts that as a funny joke. Shirase is just pleased with his new source of entertainment

✮⋆˙ Shirase gets upset very easily, any spills or lost toys and he’s bawling. Adam to the rescue though! Adam will scoop him up into his arms, let Shirase cry it out into his neck. Once Shirase has calmed down enough to listen Adam will explain how everything will be alright, carefully solve the problem as he talks, keeping Shirase distracted… Then he’ll show off the solution! Whether that’s finding the lost toy or making a new bottle of milk, Adam can do it!

✮⋆˙ Shirase also throws tantrums when he’s told no. But Adam stands his ground! If he’d saying no it’s with good reason. He’ll explain exactly that, and offer alternatives! Shirase wants more sweets? How about some sweet fruit instead? Shirase wants a new toy? Why not clean up an old one so it looks brand new? Adam just wants what’s best for the little one! Unfortunately not always does the little one know what’s best for himself

I hope you enjoyed my thoughts on this duo! Thank you so much again for the request, I’m always happy to hear from people that enjoy what I write enough that they want to see more. Have a wonderful day Anon and anyone else reading this!

great glad i could be part of the problem for once. let’s wrap it up gang. in all reality i refuse to do a full rant and waste my time on such a stupid fucking issue but like i am tired. is anyone else tired. i and the people you’re pretty directly talking to (online lesbians, unless i’m really misunderstanding the target audience here, but regardless now i am just gonna rant abt the current online culture lmfao) never said u should be ashamed. i’m sure there are assholes u run into that try to gatekeep pride (maybe? lmfao but seems less and less likely given the majority of the community is bi) but can we talk abt how online bisexuals have created this idea that gay people (and again it’s usually lesbians that bear the brunt of these accusations) are like oppressing them when they engage with their hetero attraction (don’t start with me. i am not saying what some people are dying to say i am and it’s a stupid pedantic argument) when that simply isn’t the case. yeah your dyke friends might be honest with you if your boyfriend is acting like an asshole but that doesn’t mean we think your attraction to men is like aw no invalid yucky gross. and if a young lesbian is saying that stuff like i’m sorry but it’s probably on account of she’s like 15 and trying to work past years of comphet and that’s not about you. and more often than not. as in roughly 100% of the time. it’s bi girls that have gone Ohhhh ew ugh sorry i wish i was just attracted to women women r so hot omg i want them to step on me etc. and i’m just like. Girl ok… now keep swiping on ur entirely guy filled tinder like whatever… and i swear it’s just the presence of a lesbian that brings that on like i can swear i try to be a good sport when y’all r going on about dating men im not incapable of like doing that. now on here yeah im a hater bitch bc it’s my little safe space and i don’t feel like talking about men most of the time. but genuinely. GENUINELY. i am shaking you by the fucking shoulders rn. do you think this is the most important issue re gender that we’re facing rn? i don’t think we’ll ever move forward with progressing trans rights and just like feminism 101 womens rights if you people insist we constantly talk about your feelings about your attraction. go to therapy and get a fucking grip

[seth-burroughs]

the fucking kokohead

I am in so much pain right now my flesh is melting tbh anyway miss Kokohead you got. A Lot. No tierlist we're doing this the hard way of our ancestors but mostly mine, on a scale from 1/10, descending order, counting only those I either saw or thought up myself at some point

Kokogami (Yuma x Shinigami): 10/10 perfect I could just end it there, what the hell do you want me to say, you played the game. You saw them. I love being an annoying kokogami fan, seriously fuck you if you don't like kokogami I hope kokogami haters feel so oppressed and targeted by this statement especially you, you may have deleted your reblog and turned on anon but you will never delete your sins nor be granted anonymity before the judgment of god aka Yomi Hellsmile. Sorry I am very passionate about kokogami I can't help it. Also I'm revisiting MDARC and seeing their first interactions again so I'll probably won't be normal for quite a while. They make me so sad and happy and horny and cathartic I'm not okay. Nothing will ever be okay after the MDARC ending also they're pretty much canon at this point like I'm pretty sure they had sex on screen several times

Kokohell (Yuma x Yomi): 10/10 If I wasn't so sad and miserable and tired all the time nowadays I would have drawn them so often alas. Anyway what do I even say. One of the most Yuma ships that ever shipped. Don't mess with kokohell fans there's 4 of us 5 if you count that other japanese person from pixiv/twitter that has stopped making kokohell fanart like months ago. I like bonking the main protags and antags together in nearly all fandoms, aesthetically they slay, their dynamic is already glorious even discounting all the shit I just made up in my head and would be improved 10000x times if we locked them in the Utena Yuri Jail until they finally fuck, it'd actually be so fucked and I'm trying my fucking best to prevent myself from just chewing on my arm right now because arrrrghhrhrh grrr grrrr. Anyway not quite on the level of kokogami but I'm not fucking okay thinking about this either. How could I be . When these freaks exist.

Kokoford (Yuma x Fubuki): 9/10 excellent vibes in a way chapter 3 was the best chapter because it had Fubuki in it and she literally has the power to make any dynamic better. You can imagine Fubuki with literally every single character and it's actually really good because she just has this thing about her that makes everything worth it. Sometimes I remember that one fucking post that said Kodaka normalizes the grooming of little boys because Predator Fubuki wanted Minor-coded Yuma to date her and I get so ma- wait actually I just fucking remembered that scene????? she really literally asked him to consider being her boyfriend in their gumshoe gabs oh my god I am in fucking heaven I'm making it higher than kokofurio actually

Kokofurio (Yuma x Yakou): 9/10 perfect I actually didn't expect to like this one that much. I don't agree with the popular headcanon of him being a "father figure" to Yuma mainly because 1) these are grown ass men 2) i hate the found family trope 3) sure Yuma might call him daddy a few times but father just sounds too formal you know,

Makoyuma (Yuma x Makoto): 7/10 and points removed only because I literally think about it like, once in a year. Like on paper they are mega compelling but unfortunately I cannot bring myself to care or maybe just forgot if I did earlier. Maybe when I get to all the makoyuma scenes on my revisit it'll awaken something I literally have nothing to say right now. For now I'll just say their dates are NOT fucking normal

Kokoxander (Yuma x Fake/Hitman Zilch): 6/10 I saw it quite a few times actually and it's interesting I'd say!! Though it's pretty much impossible (or just weird, lmao) for me to imagine Aide having feelings for, let alone pursue, anyone other than Yomi I mean if I squint there is something there that makes me want to start biting and shaking it around in my teeth. The 2-minute long yaoi they must have had on the train was bizarre and unnerving. In less angst-packed scenarios, like a kokohell au I can 100% see Yomi just introducing his new chewstick boyfriend to Aide and him having to tolerate him which pretty much progresses like. Aide says he doesn't want a new pet guy, Yomi gets one anyway, two weeks later Aide and Yuma found moaning sexually while lighting each other's cigarettes looking into each others eyes in a non-bro way locked in tender embrace anyway I don't know what they're typically called cause like 3 entire people including myself ship it so I made up one on the spot and kinda sounds like some hard drug name. Also Yomi makes them fuck while he watches and sits upon the Fudanshi Throne in front of them. This is the kind of fucked up twisted shit that happens when he acquires a polycule

Kokowendy (Yuma x Kurumi): 5/10 I like their dynamic fine actually and I don't really know if that's a common opinion here? I just don't know if I'll really prefer it as romantic instead of just what it was in the game. I love Kurumi what a funky little lad I don't trust people who don't like Kurumi. I want to put that boy (tmasc beam activate) in so much wacky situations and many of them don't even involve Yuma

Kokomare (Yuma x Halara): 3/10 I like their dynamic but there's not an ounce of love within Halara's body that's not exclusively reserved for adorable little kitties. Not a single romantic or sexual or platonic or familial thought in them. They view Yuma as like, kind of like a wet stray kitten they are graciously taking in they'll never admit it but he's kinda cute with those prey animal eyes

Kokobolt (Yuma x Desuhiko): 1/10 sorry not for me + I don't like Desuhiko

Kokolight (Yuma x Vivia): 1/10 sorry not for me + I don't like Vivia
