I'm (finally) finishing the enstars!! Main story part 1.
Just found out Hiirobaru/SubaHiiro is my comfort ship.
Bonus: Trickstar somehow managing to sneak on Hiiro "I can sense presences" Amagi.
HOW?!
#they're cute together#âdon't hug me every timeâ#âit's not that i don't like it thoughâ#they're an overexcited mischievous puppy playing with an overexcited well behaved puppy#enstars#ensemble stars#subahiiro#hiirobaru#hiiro amagi#subaru akehoshi#i can't explain why i like them so much#maybe because i woke up too early and need sleep#I've been awake since 4:30 am for no reason at all

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing theâ DPxDC Prompt
âWoah. You look like shit."
Granted, thatâs probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; heâs not running on 100% right now either.
The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.
"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."
And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.
The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.
If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.
"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.
"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.
"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.
The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.
He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."
There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.
"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."
Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"
"Daniel? Is that you?"
His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

After months of research and development and market testing and perfecting the first item I feel confident selling online, I have realized... that it is an incredibly niche item that only a specific subset of absolute nerds would want to buy, and I will have to do a ton of explaining the basic idea over and over again before people generally get what it is I'm even selling. RIP me
#this is like the time I spraypainted a bunch of screw heads gold#because I was putting up gold spraypainted shelf brackets and wanted these black screws to not stand out#and to make it easier I took a piece of thin cardboard and cut a series of Xes in it#then pushed the screws in a little bit and positioned it over the gap between boards on the back deck#and used my hammer to just plonk those screws into place so I could spraypaint them!#i felt so clever I posted a video of it#(gold spraypaint makes me feel giddy and childlike)#and everyone was like#âGIRL NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT DON'T TRY TO *HAMMER* YOUR *SCREWS* INTO A DECK!â#it took like. so much work to try to explain to people why this was a problem I wanted to solve#much less the mechanism by which i solved it#my brain is just. HIGHLY WEIRD SOMETIMES

RealAgeAU Drabble - Crush Gossip
*slides in with a grin* I am here and we are here for a special installment. @spotaus get in here friend!
Blue centered drabble :D
Just as promised :3
First Drabble Prev Drabble Next Drabble
*-------------------------*
Blue moves the cleaned plates towards the cabinet before returning to the sink. He puts the whiskey glasses in and starts washing them carefully. He really enjoyed the night and their little gyftmas celebration.
Even if some aspects could have gone better. Or not happened at all.
Blue loves Dream. He really loves his best friend. But Dream needs to stop trying to help him by getting Ink to notice him.
It is fine.
A yawn and Blue doesnât look away from the water âYou are up early.â
His brother yawns as he joins his side âYou are up early.â He sounds grumpy âYou are already finished cleaning?â
Blue nods as he takes care to wash the smaller glasses âOf course. I know how to handle my liquor.â And he shoots Stretch a grin before frowning âDonât you want to sleep in? Alphys will oversleep today so not notice you skipping work for a bit and Chara isnât meant to arrive until a few days.â
Stretch huffs unhappily âYeah yeah I know.â he yawns again as he leans against the counter as he ignores what Blue said to ask his own question âDream and Ink out already?â
Blue shrugs âYeah. Dream had to go again or Core would locate him again⌠and Ink⌠Well I am pretty sure Ink left midway through the party.â Blue saw how ink had checked his phone before quickly tugging his phone away and packing his things and leaving.
It stung a little.
Stretch nods as he takes the towel before waiting for Blue to finish the first glass so he can dry âIt was nice to have them over.â
Blue laughs and nods âIt was great!â he smiles.
Stretch chuckles before toying with the first glass âsorry it didnât⌠work with Ink.â
Blue pauses before shrugging âIt is fine. It isnât like it is a surprise.â Blue had already known there was no interest anyway.
Stretch frowns at him âBlue⌠I know you⌠I know you were excited to have Ink over. You are allowed to feel disappointed.â
Blue sighs as he gives the next glass over âIt isnât a big dealâ he rushes to wash the other glasses.
Stretch frowns at him âI disagree⌠Blue you-â
Blue pushes the last glass into his hands âThere! All clean! If you can finish that up I will go to quickly fix our puzzles!â
Stretch doesnât make a move to dry the glasses âYou just said Alphys will sleep in anyway and not notice.â
Blue nods as he puffs his chest âDoesnât mean I have to skip too! You enjoy your morning! Make sure to drink a lot of water and you know where the medicine is and-â and Blue gets stopped by magic by the front door.
Damnit he is blue now.
Stretch speaks calmly âBlue. I want to talk about this. Now.â
Blue sighs but doesnât fight the magic and let it guide him to the couch. Stretch puts the glasse son the drying rack and joins him.
Stretch leans back against the couch âSo⌠the mistletoe⌠Did Dream tell you he was planning that?â
Blue groans and shakes his skull âNo⌠I didnât even realise Dream added that with decorating⌠I found out when he pushed us under it and pointed it out.â he rubs his cheek âIf I had known I would have removed it.â
Stretch nods as he leans back âWhy? I thought you like Ink?â
Blue sighs as he waves his hands âI do! But it is more complicated than it just being a matter of me liking him!â
Stretch nods along and waits as he looks at him expectingly.
Blue stares at him before crossing his arms âInk blocked my number⌠I donât know why.â
Stretch looks shocked âBut I thought you two were friends?â
Blue rolls up more âWe are⌠I donât understand why⌠I wasnât even asking anything out of the ordinary or weird. Just asked him how he was doing and if he wanted to hang out with Dream and me⌠When I didnât get a reply for a few hours I send him another message to ask if he was busy. Only to get an automated message back stating the number I was trying to reach had me blocked.â It was a thing they all agreed on with the multiverse phones. That if you blocked someone they should be able to know. Mostly because if it is an emergency so you donât waste your time with messaging someone who wonât ever see your messages.
Stretch frowns âYet⌠he came to the party?â
Blue shrugs âJust because Dream askedâŚâ Dream had asked for Blue but Blue wouldnât be surprised if Ink just wanted to come because of Dream. Blue canât really blame him for that either. Dream is a god like Ink. And Blue is⌠well very mortal.
Stretch leans back âhuh⌠strange.â
Blue sighs âNot that strange. Dream can be very convincing when he wants to be.â Which is putting it mildly.
Stretch laughs and nods âI noticed⌠No the strange thing is that if Ink really didnât want to be near you he wouldnât have gone to a private Gyftmas party in your universe.â Stretch raises a brow âSure he has a bad memory but he should know that at least.â
Blue frowns and shrugs âI guess⌠I just think he wanted to be near Dream.â Which he honestly isnât mad about. Disappointed maybe but not mad. It isnât like it is Dreamâs fault and Dream is really trying to get Ink and him to hang out. It isnât Dreamâs fault if Ink prefers to be near him over Blue.
Stretch hums âI guess.â He shoots him a curious look âWhy do you even like him?â
Blue groans as he searches for the words âIt is hard to explain? I donât even know when I started to feel like this. At first I just admired him I guess? He was a protector. Of the multiverse at that. It was just⌠He was what I wanted to be. Someone who did good and protect people. And then I learned he didnât just protect others but also made more worlds? He was just⌠He was just the coolest person and I admired him and then I got the chance to travel with him and Dream and I just⌠those feelings got so much more when I got to know him.â
Stretch snorts âHow? He almost destroyed our world⌠Why like him still?â
Blue frowns as he rubs his arm âI guess⌠I guess it made him look like just any other person⌠someone who can make mistakes. He felt more real to me after that. It also helps he helped clean up that mess and made sure our world came back the way it was meant to be.â Blue sighs as he rubs his hands âHim and Dream⌠After you they were the only ones who believed I could do this thing. That I could protect people and everything.â Blue doesnât know when exactly he started to feel what he feels for Ink.
Stretch hums before groaning âIt is just⌠You are so out of his league!â
Blue blinks and stares at Stretch âWhat do you mean? He is a god! I am me.â
Stretch nods âExactly! He needed all those godly powers and stuff to do what he does. You donât. You are amazing all on your own Blue. You always believe the best in people and believe everyone deserves another chance. You are willing to look past mistakes, the situation with Ink even proves that. You are always willing to help others. You donât believe in killing anyone but will protect those who need it. Blue you are an amazing person. And I just canât see how you could like Ink and why you are afraid you arenât good enough for him.â
Blue feels so embarrassed. It isnât as if Stretch never compliments him. Hell he always says he is the most amazing every other day. But that felt more like⌠brothers just being supportive. This feels like more. Maybe just because it is about Ink?
Blue mutters âIt doesnât matter⌠He hasnât wanted to hang out with me alone for ages nowâŚâ he sighs as he crosses his arms and lays them on his legs to try and relax.
Stretch frowns as he thinks âMaybe he⌠remembered what he did and feels guilty?â
Blue huffs as he looks to the side âHe would have to choice to feel that. He needs his paints to feel⌠Look I knew from the start this crush was hopeless okay?â he hugs his legs closer âAnd it isnât his fault he canât feel like normal monsters can⌠or that he lacks a soul⌠I donât blame him for any of that. That would be stupid. I know he has no interest in me like thatâŚâ it is why Blue feels so bad about Dream trying to help set them up.
Blue laughs as he rubs his socket as he feels the itch âIf he likes anyone it would be Dream as Dream used to be able to make him feel things at least a little⌠Now however? I donât know.â he lays his cheek on his leg.
Stretch frowns before nudging their shoulders together âWell⌠We canât know either way. They are gods. Hell if we know what their reasoning is.â He smiles âMaybe he is just busy or distracted? And he accidentally blocked your number?â
Blue shrugs but lets himself lean against his taller younger brother âI guess.â
Stretch hums as he leans his skull on top of his âMy point still stands. You are allowed to be disappointed.â
Blue shrinks in on himself âIt is just stupid. I knew it was never going to work⌠Even if he felt anything for me it wouldnât work as he is a god and I am not.â And he doesnât want to be an outcode. He canât give up his world and brother. He already almost lost both once before and he canât deal with that. âIt is justâŚâ he feels sad âI just thought maybe he wanted to send some time with me⌠that we could just enjoy some time together as friends. But I guess even that isnât that important to him anymore. Maybe it never was.â
Stretch leans heavily on top of him âYou donât know what he is thinking Blue. Maybe he really is just very busy with god stuff. Donât you always say that you canât assume what other people are thinking?â
Blue feels embarrassed but nods âI do⌠It is just⌠hard sometimesâŚâ It just makes him feel worse for not being able to follow his own advice.
Stretch hums âWhy not tell Dream? That you appreciate his help but know it isnât going anywhere?â
Blue sighs and mutters âBecause I did but Dream doesnât believe in anything being impossible.â Stupid gods and their meddling.
Stretch laughs âI can imagine. Why not tell him it bothers bothers you?â
Blue shrugs and mutters âI donât want to worry him. He is already dealing with a lot and well⌠It isnât like a stupid hopeless crush is that bad of a situationâŚâ
Stretch hums âI guessâŚâ He thinks for a moment before grinning âWanne see if we can meet up with the others? Just the six of us to explore some unsuspecting universe?â
Blue blinks and grins at Stretch âSeriously?â
Stretch grins and shrugs âPaps and I havenât bothered Edge into relaxing for a while. It will be good for that stick in the mud.â He grins.
Blue blinks before nodding âYes.â
Stretch grins as he pulls out his phone and starts texting âYou get dressed. I will start up the machine.â And he blinks out of view.
Blue goes to his room and gets dressed. His hands pausing on which bandana to wear. His hand hovers over the grey one with beautiful blue details. He had gotten that in a present the year before and Blue never figured out who gave it to him. He had hoped that⌠well it doesnât matter now. Blue quickly grabs his normal blue bandana and rushes down to meet up with his brother.
Stretch grins as he holds up his phone âI got confirmation from everyone that everyone is down. Sans is setting up the coordinates for us already and Edge is bringing snacks.â
Blue smiles as he wiggles in place. It will be nice to just enjoy some time with his dear friends. Just to take his mind of his hopeless love life.
Hell maybe he, Edge and Paps can go clubbing! That has been a while and will be nice to relax and let go a bit.
The machine starts up and a beautiful green portal opens. Stretch and him step through to enjoy a day out.

actually i'm still thinking about the moral orel finale.
he has a cross on his wall. do you know how much i think about that bc it's a lot.
a lot of stories ((auto)biographical or fictional) centering escape from abusive/fundamentalist christianity result in the lead characters leaving behind christianity entirely. and that makes complete sense! people often grow disillusioned with the associated systems and beliefs, and when it was something used to hurt them or something so inseparable from their abuse that they can't engage with it without hurting, it makes total sense that they would disengage entirely. and sometimes they just figure out that they don't really believe in god/a christian god/etc. a healthy deconstruction process can sometimes look like becoming an atheist or converting to another religion. it's all case by case. (note: i'm sure this happens with other religions as well, i'm just most familiar with christian versions of this phenomenon).
but in orel's case, his faith was one of the few things that actually brought him comfort and joy. he loved god, y'know? genuinely. and he felt loved by god and supported by him when he had no one else. and the abuses he faced were in how the people in his life twisted religion to control others, to run away from themselves, to shield them from others, etc. and often, orel's conflicts with how they acted out christianity come as a direct result of his purer understanding of god/jesus/whatever ("aren't we supposed to be like this/do that?" met with an adult's excuse for their own behavior or the fastest way they could think of to get orel to leave them alone (i.e. orel saying i thought we weren't supposed to lie? and clay saying uhhh it doesn't count if you're lying to yourself)). the little guy played catch with god instead of his dad, like.. his faith was real, and his love was real. and i think it's a good choice to have orel maintain something that was so important to him and such a grounding, comforting force in the midst of. All That Stuff Moralton Was Up To/Put Him Through. being all about jesus was not the problem, in orel's case.
and i know i'm mostly assuming that orel ended up in a healthier, less rigid version of christianity, but i feel like that's something that was hinted at a lot through the series, that that's the direction he'd go. when he meditates during the prayer bee and accepts stephanie's different way to communicate, incorporating elements of buddhism into his faith; when he has his I AM A CHURCH breakdown (removing himself from the institution and realizing he can be like,, the center of his own faith? taking a more individualistic approach? but Truly Going Through It at the same time), his acceptance (...sometimes) of those who are different from him and condemned by the adults of moralton (stephanie (lesbian icon stephanie my beloved), christina (who's like. just a slightly different form of fundie protestant from him), dr chosenberg (the jewish doctor from otherton in holy visage)). his track record on this isn't perfect, but it gets better as orel starts maturing and picking up on what an absolute shitfest moralton is. it's all ways of questioning the things he's been taught, and it makes sense that it would lead to a bigger questioning as he puts those pieces together more. anyway i think part of his growth is weeding out all the lost commandments of his upbringing and focusing on what faith means to him, and what he thinks it should mean. how he wants to see the world and how he wants to treat people and what he thinks is okay and right, and looking to religion for guidance in that, not as like. a way to justify hurting those he's afraid or resentful of, as his role models did.
he's coming to his own conclusions rather than obediently, unquestioningly taking in what others say. but he's still listening to pick out the parts that make sense to him. (edit/note: and it's his compassion and his faith that are the primary motivations for this questioning and revisal process, both of individual cases and, eventually, the final boss that is christianity.) it makes perfect sense as the conclusion to his character arc and it fits the overall approach of the show far better. it's good is what i'm saying.
and i think it's important to show that kind of ending, because that's a pretty common and equally valid result of deconstruction. and i think it cements the show's treatment of christianity as something that's often (and maybe even easily) exploited, but not something inherently bad. something that can be very positive, even. guys he even has a dog he's not afraid of loving anymore. he's not afraid of loving anyone more than jesus and i don't think it's because he loves this dog less than bartholomew (though he was probably far more desperate for healthy affection and companionship when he was younger). i think it's because he figures god would want him to love that dog. he's choosing to believe that god would want him to love and to be happy and to be kind. he's not afraid of loving in the wrong way do you know how cool that is he's taking back control he's taking back something he loves from his abusers im so normal
#i had a really big fundie snark phase a year or two ago so that's part of like. this. but im still not used to actually talking about#religious stuff so if it reads kinda awkwardly uhh forgive me orz idk#maybe it sounds dumb but i like that the message isn't 'religion is evil'. it easily could have been. but i think the show's points about#how fundie wasp culture in particular treats christianity and itself and others would be less poignant if they were like. and jesus sucks#btw >:] like. this feels more nuanced to me. i guess there's probably a way to maintain that nuance with an ultimately anti-christian#piece of media but i think it'd be like. wayy harder and it's difficult for me to imagine that bc i think a lot of it would bleed out into#the tone. + why focus on only These christians when They're All also bad? so you'd get jokes about them in general#and i think that's kinda less funny than orel and doughy screaming and running from catholics lsdkjfldksj#i think the specificity makes it more unique and compelling as comedy and as commentary. but that's just me#like moralton represents a very particular kind of christian community (namely a middle class fundie wasp nest)#you're not gonna be able to get in the weeds as much if you're laughing at/criticizing all christians. but they accomplish it so thoroughly#and WELL in morel and i think that's because it chose a smaller target it can get to dissect more intimately. anyway#moral orel#orel puppington#(OH also when i say wasp here i mean WASP the acronym. as in white anglo-saxon protestsant. in case the term's new to anyone <3)#maybe it's also relevant to say that i'm kindaaaaaaaa loosely vaguely nonspecifically christian. so there's my bias revealed#i was never raised like orel but i like to think i get some of what's going on in there y'know. in that big autistic head of his#but it's not like i can't handle anti-christian/anti-religious media/takes. i'm a big boy and also i v much get why it's out there yknow#christianity in specific has a lot of blood on its hands from its own members and from outsiders and people have a right to hate it for tha#but religion in all its forms can be positive and i appreciate the nuance. like i've said around 20 times. yeah :) <3#(<- fighting for my life to explain things even though my one job is to be the explainer)

Guys.
So the other day I thought it would be fun (??) to go through Sleep Token's twitter (yeah yeah, I know, evil site) and I had to share this here.
Listen, I LOVE the way they talk so Cryptic⢠and Eloquent⢠- for some reason this one just made me laugh so, so much.
Man's really said VORE with his full chest, I love it.
#it reminded me of the âgo piss girlâ meme but like#âgo drink girlâ instead#ngl i wish we could have this little interactions back but as per ~recent events~ they're so much better off that way#(why we can't have nice things)#this is what happens when you have insomnia at 5am#their old tweets are so funny to me i can't explain#i'm fully picturing Vessel sipping his own coffee going BET at that#anyways. i'm very normal about them#sleep token#sleep token worship

(they'll never understand) How could I ever understand? No, I don't have to understand. I don't wanna understand. So I will never understand. (we could have everything)
#Danny Phantom#art#sketches#i do not feel like colouring this. you'll have to use your imagination#also i highly recommend listening to Nick Lutsko's Swords album because it is so Jack & Maddie it's not even funny#i've been listening to Superior on repeat for like 2 days which is why i whipped this comic up#but also Sideshow is how i was introduced to the album & is also very very very much Maddie & Jack coded#i want to write a fic about it. alas i'm already writing like 10 fics about everything right now so it'll have to wait#i just have this idea in my head of it actually being pretty obvious to Maddie & Jack who Phantom is#he's wearing their hazmat. using their inventions. can open their biometric locks. has their son's face. his voice.#Danny Fenton has an extremely high level of ectoplasm. he even has an ectosignature. the same ectosig as Phantom in fact.#but they're so in denial. so obsessed with their work up til then not being a waste of time & resources. that they just keep ignoring it#keep burying their heads in the sand#& things just keep getting worse. & they keep having a harder time committing to attacking Phantom#have a harder time believing in what they're doing. have a harder time explaining away the truth#but they can't face it. they have to keep refusing to see it#because the truth will never set them free. it will only confirm all the terrible things they've done.#they're good people. everything they do is good. there is no other side to this story. of course

I hate when people are like "I already didn't like xyz so it's not difficult for me to boycott it unlike those loser customers that actually Liked the thing which I could never understand bc I was never a customer uwu" bc like. That literally isn't boycotting lmao. That is just Never Being A Customer In The First Place, which means nothing actually.
Boycotts are primarily about applying pressure (or completely making it impossible to operate) via financial/commercial/economic impact. AKA it's about money and capital.
If you already weren't spending money on a product/franchise/company, then you were already never part of their sales data, and you just doing nothing & making absolutely no change to your daily life and just continuing to not be part of their sales data as normal, has literally no material impact. You were already never a factor. The people who WERE customers & WERE part of the sales data & ARE withdrawing their money from those sales figures actually ARE making a material impact.
"Supporting" something isn't about vibes or thoughts or feelings or you telling your best friend how much you like a thing, "support" in a meaningful sense is specifically material. It is financial. Refusing to continue supporting something means taking the money you were previously spending on it & putting it elsewhere. If you were never spending money, you were never supporting it, and therefore it doesn't make any difference if you continue to not support it. Boycotting is something CUSTOMERS and CONSUMERS do.
SO STOP FUCKING BRAGGING ABOUT IT & STOP MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE BOYCOTTING FOR "EVER LIKING XYZ TO BEGIN WITH" & STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE IDEA OF HOW BOYCOTTING WORKS LMAO sorry for capslocking I remembered I was annoyed
I just hate this low-morale mean-spirited bullshit some people do in the notifs on boycotting info posts where they arbitrarily moralize about something they just don't understand so they can pat themselves on the back for doing literally literally nothing AND inadvertently spreading misinfo in the process. Be quiet. Go do something that matters. There are plenty of posts going around, including from Palestinians themselves, with lists of references for how to help Palestine & other similar causes for people currently in crisis, please please do something For Real instead of boasting online about your fandom superiority complex as if it means anything.
#txt#It's annoying but more than that it shows that you have no desire to understand how meaningful action actually WORKS#You are not DOING anything you literally have no right to try to demean ANYONE who actually IS.#anyway just saw a comment on a post that annoyed me. I'm normal again sorries.#Like I'm a comics fan but I HATE the MCU so I was never going out and watching MCU movies anyway#I can't âboycottâ CA4 bc I was never a customer to begin with. That's just me not watching another movie like it's a regular day.#But I CAN spread information about the boycott in hopes that people who might be actual consumers will see it & decide to boycott#& I can do that without insulting them bc if they're boycotting then they are engaging with more material action than I am on that issue.#But like it's not even really the insulting I care about so much as the âbragging about doing nothing (& spreading an incorrect idea of how#boycotting works in the process)â that actually bothers me most#BE WARNED THIS IS NOT A WELL-THOUGHT OUT INFORMATIONAL POST OR ANYTHING#so I may have worded things dumb/awkwardly bc I'm frustrated and I didn't like Plan Out this post#I made it on the fly in 5 minutes after getting annoyed about something I have seen enough times to be frustrated about it#coincidentally this whole post also doubles as me explaining why piracy isn't a real crime#it's a fake crime made up by people who care about Theoretical Money They Could Maybe Have but has no basis in material reality

okay so agatha all along episode 5 spoilers and all that but are we ignoring the fact that evanora set up that entire scenario to FORCE someone into attacking Agatha to "prove" that she was evil?????? and also the like. severely heavily implied abusive relationship between agatha and her mother??? because im not
#agatha all along#agatha harkness#evanora harkness#the fact that rio was SO MAD at evanora speaks volumes to how bad agathas relationship with her was#and also recontextualises the scene where agatha kills her like murder is still bad but agatha almost seems relieved after she kills her mu#was discussing this with my housemate and we're both of the opinion that ummmm. agathas powers could be a defense mechanism#like. witch mother and implied abusive dymamic and the ability to TAKE magic SPECIFICALLY when she's attacked with it?????????#also BEGGING her coven pleading with them. 'please i can be good' i genuinely feel sick. what a throwback to wandavision#it's so obvious that all she's ever tried to do is prove she can be good and yet never been given the chance to do so#and it doesn't excuse that she's so awful but it explains why she's so horrible. because nobody believes she can be good#and it hurts less if they're right so she'd rather ignore her morals than realise that everyone was wrong abt her#and villainised her over an ability she can't even control#there's sooooo much nuance because she can't control the power but she can control goading people into using them#so witches around her assume that absorbing their magic is intentional when it's not. she just baits people into attacking her and it works

Lrb dear god, this reminded me of that time when Alfred-chan got sooooo mad at my post explaining why fans should respect bisexual headcanons for Maria and Malenia instead of pretending like they're canonically lesbians and that they get oppressed and erased by mxf ships with them. They kept vagueing that post for like a MONTH in their blog including in tags under reblogs of Maria fanart, passively-aggressively changed their url to character+sexuality to "spite" me and then even made a sockpuppet account to start shit with me in the comments.
They deactivated when me and Val completely obliterated their "you cultivate lesbiphobic following by telling people why they should respect all sexuality headcanons instead of acting cultish or assuming their experiences and stereotypes equal canon confirmation" garbage with actual facts and logic tho but I screenshotted everything fjthfgfj (I learned to document everything the hard way after they've changed the she/they pronouns to they/they pronouns ONLY to accuse me of misgendering, so thank you for making me wiser I guess đ). Even more vile, as they, a white person, larped as an Arab in that sockpuppet to hold even MORE "privilege" against me in discussion gjtjfh Because for them race, gender or sexuality are just badges of honor and dishonor, they don't see these as traits of actual human beings. And Dr Eugene X, who worked with them and weaponized her race to accuse everyone who disagreed with her of racism, didn't bat an eye at such a terrible act too?? As usual, rules are not for their friends, lol
It is not even the worst thing Alfred did, and yet all of this just, just, JUST because I wrote a point on why bisexual headcanon people did nothing wrong and there is no ground to claim something is canon when it isn't. đ¤Śââď¸ Like, they were soooo convinced that I hated lesbian headcanons and that I'd feel angry if they called Lady Maria a lesbian, when what I was angry at is this exact toxic behavior in the fandom. No matter how much you like a headcanon, don't be a bitch about it. Maria doesn't """belong""" to any gender or sexuality, she belongs to anyone who likes her and is invested in her complexity as a character!!!
Yet, apparently, common Malenia simps / Finlay shippers are no better than common Maria simps / Mariadeline shippers. Just, wild how after shit like this, many people have the guts to claim that it is "sexist redditbros" who are the biggest problem of creators in the fandom. đ¤Śââď¸ They'd actually blush if they encountered what such self-proclaimed "feminists" do to their own (!!!) over headcanons. đ¤Śââď¸đ¤Śââď¸đ¤Śââď¸
#also fuck anna for thinking shit like this and way worse things alfred did is not as evil and toxic as#as me snapping at her for DEFENDING alfred#wiki: I can excuse stalking harassment cultish shunning bullying fantomette lying slander weaponizing identity but-#-I draw the line at katy getting too emotional when I admit as much uwu#granted she did admit that the reason for this is because alfred didnt concern her personally#she is probably the person I'll forgive last in this situation if ever#as much as I hate alfred they clearly have no empathy and compassion and lie for medical reasons#it isn't my assumptions they often reblogged this shit#I know mental illness is not an excuse for so much harassment for variety of reasons but-#-why would someone want to change if they medically can't feel guilt for their actions?#I feel bad for them and they hopefully will get help#as for Eugene idk... they seem to be a typical brainwashed youth#such people either change with age or get strongly bitten in the ass and get reality check#granted people who still follow her did admit she goes head hunting and then plays victim#as well as they only keep in touch because they worry they'll be dragged down if they are not at her good side#rather than because they like her posts (which are so untrue to BB that she can just make OCs anyways)#choir boy is literally just mindless sheep that didnt even have dignity to make it personal#hence is the name#I am sure he is lovely in his own circle it just doesn't concern me or my friend#but anna?#she knew what she was doing and has no excuse#fandomry rambles#it is also funny how they are four cringe failures and us are four based people#best AND worst groups come in four lol#also I know you all are dying to know how I can still hold grudges year later right?#it is hard to explain#I live normally and recover and not think of it but then scar starts to hurt#like you know how physical scars can react to weather or shit? mental can too

The Hero of Chaos doesn't do Meetings...
Okay, so we did this on stream! So we talked a LOT about our thoughts on this piece! (I'll make a time laps later!) ANYWAYS-
THE HERO OF CHAOS- So that's a title in the Zelda Timeline that is just sitting there???? We came to a head canon that the Hero of Chaos was who the Fierce Deity USED to be!
Basically, this is set before Hyrule Kingdom was established, so Zelda here is actually Sonia's Grandmother!
The City of Hylia is having trouble with some bandits, Zelda is the leader because (Blood of the Goddess) and her Captain likes to call war meetings. Link here is just a woodworker, who was dragged into this. He was friends with Zelda (And maybe the happy mask salesmen??) and decides to help out the best he can.
Throughout the story, Link has to take on more and more Chaotic energy to be able to stand up to the Demon Majora, in the end, Link was able to seal the Demon into a mask, but was corrupted to the point of no return, so Zelda was forced to seal him into the Fierce Deities mask.
No text version below.
#legend of zelda#zelda#my art#art#link#hero of chaos#he doesn't get it#they are trying to explain war strategy or something#He's also like âWhy can't we just set it on fire!?â#We want to give him a âBomb Rodâ where you shoot bombs out of it#they make him take his armor off and hand over his equipment so he doesn't just leave during an important meeting#HE WOULD#THEY HAD TO LEARN#They also let him carve wood so he can stay focused#We nicknamed him âChaosâ and Zelda âOrderâ#She has OCD and He has ADHD#Match made in hell#I love them so much#Zelda is so pretty#Link is so confused#I combined Skywards Sword Zelda's goddess outfit with Sonia to make this Zelda#I love her

Pov: You ask your dad to make a toy for you with his weird drawing powers and you accidentally get a new sibling because your dad is also cursed for whatever reason.
Ok, but like if Alan accidentally made Hangman like that with the intention of them being a plush, Hangman could have like plush physics like their body is generally more limp and ragdoll-like due to being made as a plushie rather than a regular stickfigure. [Sorry any mention of Hangman makes me go insane, they appeared in one short and now I need to see them explored as a character-]
(don't mind the coloring, i just wanted a way to color code it so i don't get confused by it later........ i'll probably find a better color for hangman later)
that's such a funny idea...... also they'd be extremely small since they're made for the kids but i think it'd be really funny if they were more around Chosen/Dark's initial age actually (which i hc at like. something like 10 or 11.)
their name also almost definitely wouldn't be hangman obv but. yk sklfgslkfjlksg
#tommy's foolery#sc is very confused as to why they're moving and alan has to explain that this is not a plushie this is a person#well. they are a plushie but they're a person. and that means you shouldn't play with them like a plushie#selkie!alan has to explain the concept of morality to his kid and is VERY STRESSED ABOUT IT#sc does not understand why he's stressing this so much. it's not that hard to understand#(they Don't Know)#tommy's stickmen tag#tommy's aus#tommy's stick!alan#selkie sticks au#anyway i can't exactly like. make hangman grey since that's vic's color and i don't want it to be too close to black either#because i will inevitably get confused when i look at my doodles#i guess i could make them white? idk#we'll see

I've come to the conclusion that loving young royals doesn't mean I can't be critical about it, maybe especially bc I love the show so much I have such strong feelings about it, good and bad and I can love parts of canon and agree with it and appreciate it but I don't have to love it all. I have accepted that it's okay if I don't accept the ending and I don't have to force myself to support it. It's okay to not agree with all of canon and it's okay to not side with all of the creators' intentions/views. Loving a show doesn't mean you have to take everything the writers say on face value and that's the only version that is allowed to exist. Canon isn't everything and fandom is about curating your own experience that makes you happy and not miserable. You don't have to dismiss canon in every aspect and ignore it entirely, that's certainly not what I want but there is a fine line between being canon respectful, allowing some parts to exist and sometimes, yes, you just have to say "fuck canon" and move on for your own sanity and wellbeing
#yrtalk#young royals#personal#especically in the first two weeks of a new release everyone is feelings lots of intense emotions ranging from ecstatic to angry#everything in between is a part of it and i know i'm also feeling very strongly about it right now#i always try to stay levelheaded and rational and see things from an objective pov and be diplomatic about discourse#i don't want any of what i say drift off too much into meaningless hate instead of the constructive criticism it's supposed to be#but when you feel so strongly about something and sometimes you really just wanna say yeah i fucking hate it lol#but i always try to explain why and give understandable arguments and not just blindly hate on something#for example - I'm aware there are fans who have some problems with s2 and don't love the season whereas i do and it's my fave#and there is a difference between expressing some criticism and justified concerns which you can understand where it comes from#and those who are just like 'oh it's a horrible season. it was so shitty and we should get rid of it' which is dumb hate and just not true#and i can't support people like that and take them seriously#i can have my own issues with s3 from a subjective pov which can also include some justified criticism as well#but also still acknowledge it as a truly good piece of tv media and the quality is top notch#and that's why you have such high expectations and have critique because it is so good and sets such a high standard#with that being said i understand ppl not wanting to see any critic about it if they are riding the high of happy wilmon endgame#but that doesn't mean that i can't express my own opinions on my own blog and i will continue to do so#and maybe one day i will feel differently and accept or even like the ending who knows#but it doesn't have to happen. it's fine if it does but it's also fine if it doesn't

like why did they change where Vegeta was when Cell announced the cell games in the anime
why did they make this vegeta starting shit with yamcha instead of chillin in the lab with his family? why did they take Bulma out of the lab? Why'd they say she was Out while Dr Brief was repairing 16? Why did they change Bulma working on advanced robotics to running in late with her baby?
it's the same scene except: - Bulma's actively at work being a scientist - Vegeta's not being rude to her (or anyone else!) - Vegeta waits for Trunks instead of leaving the room - Cell interrupted the airwaves, which means Trunks and Vegeta were just hanging out with Bulma and Dr B while they were working
Those are all Great Character Details!! That the anime rails against!!
#these cowards afraid of showing Vegeta actively choosing to be around his wife and child even when he's Bad#Because Goku who is Good never ever even once makes that choice onscreen outside of filler#and then they justify that choice by making Chi-Chi seem horrid and unreasonable for (checks notes) Not Wanting Her Child to Die#anyway I am once again being bitter about anime vs manga klasjdklasd#I can't believe I let the anime convince me I hated Goku man Goku's SUCH a good and ridiculous character in the manga#the anime just SUCKS at letting him be who he's always been#and has to reframe and recontextualize and reword everything he does so that it seems like he's Actually Quite Mature and Thoughtful nO#THAT's VEGETA YOU COWARDS#also the fact that bulma said she wouldn't live with him at the beginning of this arc to him casually hanging out with her and trunks#after cell beat his ass and humbled him is REALLY GOOD SUBTEXT for their shared relationship having improved without showing it#it's great subtext for all three of them and toei just went 'nah' and decided to make it a whole group shot so ...? Master Roshi could sit#and explain how ??? Tournaments Work??? Just so Cell could log on and also explain how tournaments work?? God it's been so long#since I've watched the anime and now when I do it just makes me mad aklsdjskja the manga is SOOOOO much better#there are some spots where the pacing is more ideal in the anime like goku turning ssj for the first time but like man. everything else is.#like why are you making Goku snarky with Vegeta dude his clapbacks are SO much funnier when they're just Tactless Honesty#like Vegeta's not insulted by Snark bitch he grew up in the Freeza force that man was raised by THE bitchiest drag queens#Vegeta's insulted by someone saying something deeply and insultingly True to his face as if it's the fucking weather#Goku in the anime is like 'a battle of wits hoho' but Goku's purity is part of the joke he's not snippy he's just got no social etiquette#He's just honest! He's not trying to be insulting. That's what MAKES it insulting! That's the WHOLE GAG of why Vegeta can't stand him#Goku is always just telling the truth and it's always the rudest shit Vegeta's ever heard in his life#'it's a sunny day! i'm way stronger than you! see you out there bud!' 10000% Genuinely Friendly. Golden Retriever-Ass Pure.#Infuriating. Hilarious.#anyway I looked at anime clips to make sure I remembered things right and that was a mistake#as someone who has a soft spot for it and grew up on it -- compared to the manga it's bad and it's always been bad#and toriyama was right to be disinterested in watching it jesus christ they BUTCHERED his work#anyway this has been another shot of haterade with sketches thank you for scrolling my rambletags askljdask#dbtag#i just truly can't get over how they make Vegeta call her 'woman' in the anime and he literally only ever calls her Bulma in the manga#except for on namek when he refers to her as 'the/that woman' because she is a complete stranger#why is he calling her woman like he's a 1940s american husband and not an extraterrestrial from a deeply advanced society toei
