I know everyone assumes that Johnathon/Spot hasn't had many intimate relationships since he's just too silly for that. But I feel like back during his years in highschool and college, he actually had a lot of partners, more than considered normal for a geek. I think at some point after getting accepted to work at Alchemax he just pushed relationships aside so he could focus on his future and kind of isolated himself.

I post this to say that Dr. Johnathon Ohnn does, in fact, have rizz.

EDIT: his type is def alt and goth 🙏

So, the town I grew up in burned down four years ago. The Red Cross were the ones that jumped in, got an entire hotel rented out for people and their pets to stay in for months, and were feeding everybody for their stays as well.

[macabremayhem]

Hot take & kinda bitter pill: The main reason for the death of fandom is censorship within fandom. "This pairing is good and it's okay, but this pairing is bad and we will attack you if you ship the Wrong Pairing™ instead of the Right Pairing™".

And I have seen this many times with my own eyes. This is what people do. But what if fandom is just a fandom and pixels are just pixels? And someone is just here to HAVE FUN instead of the Morality™ Lessons? And maybe someone is even... mature enough to decide what they're like?

It's so funny to see when my posts are faved by people with "anti-proship" in their profile, because... wow, isn't my favourite OTP someone like you has claiming as proship, lol?

But not funny when you, say, look for some favourite content by relevant hashtag and see tons... of content you dislike and NOT RELEVANT, just because authors added all the hashtags for force-feeding. Thank you. But no. When I search for my favourite content on the special hashtag, I want to see my favourite content on the special hashtag. Is that a complicated concept?

Also not funny when you find the artist who draws such good stuff with your OTP and... discover that this artist has left the fandom because someone decided to be a "ship police" and attacked this artist. Thank you for that shit.

But please, can someone answer my question: why do you think your OTP is better than mine? And why do you think you can impose your opinion on me or anyone else? Are you the shining paladin in the white robe? Who do you think you are to judge us?

What can I say? Oh, I have so much to say, really. Maybe as a person who doesn't like the evil characters in the sugar syrup. Maybe as a person who makes a very clear distinction between reality and fantasy. Or, for that matter, as a person who has an opinion about common tropes in fandom and disagrees with them, based on my experience (has anyone here heard of the concept of interesting literature and why it is usually interesting? The smallest hint: it's interesting because it has realistic, well-drawn characters, even in fantasy). And for some reasons I know: even my relevant experience does not forbid to someone to have their own fantasies. And that is not even what I want to achieve.

Again. I'm not here to forbid anything, I'm here to say: leave us alone. Don't bother the creators, don't force-feed your creations to someone who doesn't share your vision.

Spoilers: NO ONE HAS TO BE LIKE YOU. People are... different? They love different things, and who are YOU to shame them? As long as it doesn't hurt anyone (really hurt!). But before you contradict me, I'll repeat: I have some personal opinions and some real background to contradict YOU. And I really don't want to start a holy war.

But why, a few months ago, I was talking to a person about the Valdemar headcanones, and they, in between, careful expressed their opinion about intersexual human!Valdemar (not AMAB, not AFAB!), to avoid conflict with others — who had never been in our conversation. WHY?! You call yourselves "an open and friendly community" and someone even friendly attacked creators like: "you can't ship Valdemar with %charactername%, they're aroace! How dare you erase the aroaces!!?" (sorry, I have problems with socialising, is that what friendly people do? *sarcasm*) and... what do I say? People with a slightly different opinion are trying to be careful! I see the artists who did NOTHING wrong, but were forced to leave the fandom. I see the artists who have been forced to publicly apologise for their art, or even delete their art. How dare you and who you are?

Don't tell anyone what to do with their fanart. Because I have seen it so many times and it is disgusting. Where someone tries to justify their headcanons like "it's ok, aroaces can be in relationships! (but only with my MC of course)", someone was forced to leave the fandom just because another someone saw themselves as the morality police.

And there were many REALLY GOOD ARTISTS. With beautiful art styles, interesting art, unusual headcanons. But all I see now... is what I see.

And I really need to say a lot more than I have. Many of these things come from my own experience (and, my fellow children, you couldn't even handle a person with a personality disorder, I guarantee it), you judge the practices you know nothing about (like BDSM), or you tell aroace creators what aroaces have to do. And if anyone should say that, it should be me. Why does the person with no empathy have more empathy than you? Why my only goal is not to forbid someone to create their M.C., even if I don't like the whole concept, but... idk. Maybe make someone think about it. Don't even defend another creators, because it's too late.

Fandom is dead because people are acting as moral police. But let's guess, what happens when I try to tell you something? What if I said: "Yes, aroaces can have a relationship with someone, but they will most likely behave differently than you imagine"? Who will be the first to accuse me of "YOU'RE FORBIDDING US TO DO WHAT WE WANT! IT'S JUST A FANTASY!"? Even if I tell you only from my own experience. Even if I repeat ten thousand times: "I can't forbid anything, my opinion is my opinion", someone will be mad about it. But it's me, the person who doesn't have the content of amazing artists because they LEAVE the fandom. Me, but not you. Because people take it too seriously or something. And why do you think it's a funny joke to leave comments like "oh, how dare you, Valdemar is mine!" or "Julian is mine, bitch, stay out!!1"? Should I bombard you with the same comments like "what a bitch with Valdemar, I don't like it, stay out!1!1"? Should it be funny? Will you laugh at it? And why don't I want to do it, even if something happens to me? Should I give a person a dose of their own medicine? Or will someone cry and not find such joke funny when it turn around?

So many questions and no answers. And for several years now I see it in the fandom. I'm tired. And I know why many people have left the fandom, and most of the time I see no content I like. But what do I see? People who don't like the content of Dorian. People who want something different and who have fucking standards that don't include attacking people who don't share their vision! People who have standards of writing quality, who want to improve their art, just to make favourite content for themselves! I see people who just want something interesting. But I see NOTHING but the original NixHydra routes, especially the first three. Or something rare, some pieces that miraculously survived. And I am not even talking about the attacks on the NH members. There's nothing special for their burnout. So, enjoy the Dorian.

Because if the fandom is sterile — this fandom is dead. Dixi.

This is a collab with @tlouobsessed. We wrote it together (we cried in our DMs about how Joel is so good with kids and pieced together this scene).

Tommy walked back and forth, bouncing the crying baby. He threw a desperate look at Joel, who smiled and held out his arms. Tommy handed the baby over. Joel tucked her into his chest, shushing and bouncing her gently. She stopped crying immediately.

“How!” Tommy mouthed, his face incredulous and just shy of annoyed.

Joel grinned cockily at him, then nodded toward the stairwell, whispering, “Go take a nap.”

Tommy rubbed his eyes, nodding, and headed upstairs. Joel walked over to spread out on the couch, laying the baby down on his chest.

The door opened, and he was already shushing when Ellie came into the room. She kicked off her shoes, heading toward him on the couch. He looked down at the baby, who had closed her eyes, then back at her. She motioned with her hands for him to scoot over. He tried to, and she somehow found space to cuddle up next to him on the couch too. He readjusted the baby, holding her against his chest with one hand, wrapping his other arm around Ellie as she laid her head on his chest as well. She wrapped an arm across his stomach, poking a couple loving scratches at the baby’s back with one hand and taking Joel’s free hand with the other. She started to trace small circles over his thumb. Leaning his head toward hers, he rested his cheek on her head. The baby was asleep now, eyes closed and little mouth open with her cheek against Joel’s chest. He smiled down at her. She was still so tiny. And she still looked so much like Sarah, even though she was starting to develop distinct features. He sighed. Lying there with his babygirls. Ellie’s thumb slowed its patterns on his until they stopped. Joel glanced down at her, confirming that she was asleep too. He smiled to himself, closing his eyes to relish the warmth of his niece and his babygirl against him.

Joel woke up when someone kicked his foot. He jumped slightly, opening his eyes to see Tommy. He looked mildly annoyed, but his eyes were wet.

“How could you fall asleep, Joel?” Tommy whispered.

Joel looked down at the baby and Ellie, both sleeping peacefully. “What was I supposed to do? Move?!”

“Come on, hand her to me, I’ll put her down for the night,” Tommy reached out.

Joel looked back and forth between the baby and Ellie. He wasn’t going to pull his hand away from Ellie to pick up the baby and probably wake her up too. “They’re ok.”

“Joel.” Tommy leaned down, gently lifting the baby, shushing her when she started to fuss. He tucked her into his chest, and she calmed down, going right back to sleep. He nodded at Ellie. “I can come back down and help you get her up to bed too.”

Joel looked down at her. She looked so content. “Nah,” he said softly, kissing her forehead, “we can sleep down here tonight.”

i've stayed up all/most of the night every night this week watching gymnastics. i'm so tired. but i am also...so happy. this sport brings me joy. watching these men and women succeed brings me joy. learning new terms, learning how points are added and deducted, learning about the athletes' mental health...it all brings me joy. my facebook saved folder is all gymnastics. my bookmarks have a specific folder for gymnastics. there's a shelf on the bookcase in my bedroom dedicated to gymnastics biographies and books.

everything, for me, right now...is gymnastics.

and i'm so happy.
