#i welcome discussion and opinions on this btw ….

[lizzieandersoncore]

unpopular opinion: i personally can’t read books/fics where the LI or the MC had a past partner that died and they loved that partner truly. like i cannot deal with the kind of love where they feel like ‘second’

[7-andahalf-rats]

What's your opinion on specimen 4 and kinks

I am NOT answering anything about the second part, but I do have some thoughts on Ringu:

(Long rambles and thoughts inbound)

By which I mean I don't really have any. Like yeah, she's hellgate and stuff, has a pretty neat lookin' endless form, but I haven't ever thought much about her beyond that. Though that might be because I've never really been fond of that specific genre of horror.

S4 has always just kinda... been there, to me. I LOVE her rooms, and I had a lot of fun there in HD Reno: VR! (By which I mean I was terrified and struggled to power through it.) But I've never like, thought real hard about her.

I find that I tend to gravitate towards the more animalistic/inhuman specimens, save for notably M4, M1, US4, and occasionally S6. It's probably mostly due to the fact that when I first got into Spooky's, I SUCKED at drawing people. Like, majorly. And I think that drove me away from growing attached to certain specimens.

I do LOVE S4's theme, though. Both the old and new one! And I love her sprites. The model is okay. Pretty cool, but I think those sprites are so damn cool, so it's hard to beat... I don't remember much about her hellgate chase, but I think all the hellgate chases are pretty cool, so I think the same should go for Ringu's.

All in all, pretty cool specimen! Just not one I think about a lot. I should try that more often now that I can actually bare drawing people for once.

(I am not going to talk about her death screen. It does not exist. It is not real. It is a shared hallucination, and only I, I am free.)

Tbh I wasn’t completely sure about the tone of your original post at first, but I appreciate you clarifying things further here. I can see and understand your perspective much better now, so thank you. ♥️

Yeah, I pointed out the double standards with Mulan mainly because some people keep mentioning the similarities between those two stories. Like I said in the tags, it’s very common to see fans headcanon Mulan as trans or nonbinary as well, but we still don’t shy away from saying that character is canonically a woman.

That’s why I’m struggling to understand why certain folks are treating Mizu so differently, especially when even the show’s own creators have repeatedly referred to that character as canonically a woman as well. Also, some people (mainly white queers) have argued with me and others that “you (cisgender women of color) already have Mulan” and I’m very quick to remind them that unlike Blue Eye Samurai, Mulan was entirely created by white men and it’s a cartoon for kids.

So no, it’s not same thing at all and even if they were the same … like, that’s still just TWO stories about strong Asian women of color who aren’t traditionally feminine, you know? White folks (including queer ones) are so used to seeing people who look like them all the time and they rarely ever make a genuine effort to relate to anyone who isn’t exactly like them either, so honestly … they have no right to feel entitled to a story that wasn’t even created with them in mind.

But anyway, YES! Let’s keep loving and celebrating this wonderful show! It’s such an amazing achievement, especially for Asian North Americans. We need everyone to watch/stream it asap, so it can get all four of the seasons that are currently planned. 😊🤞🏻

Hot take but as a mixed-race Asian, transmasc, nonbinary-identifying person, I think that one can think about the complexities of Mizu's character however they want.

Every person has had different experiences throughout their lives, so everyone will see a certain character in a different way, headcanon different things about them, etc.

Blue Eye Samurai is too good to be gatekept and fought over like this.

[annahiril]

The cringe anon who sent you hate is definitely some annoyed Haladriel shipper lol.I love your oc though don't be discouraged and keep drawing whatever you like🥹

Thank you so much for your support 🥹✨️❤️

I'm so happy you like my OC, it mean a lot 🥰

And don't worry, I won't stop sharing my work ✊🏻 In fact, I'm currently working on multiple drawings at the same time 😂

I will be sharing about it soon ❤️

Well, when I first read the anon ask, I thought the same thing 🤔 People get usually mad when OCs are an "obstacle" to their ship.

But maybe I'm wrong? I know some people just don't like fandom OCs in general...

But let's be clear, I have nothing against haladriel/saurondriel shippers.

I do appreciate them and they are welcome on my blog ❤️

But you must know that I have my own opinion on haladriel/saurondriel.

I've never talked about it before, but this is how I see their relationship:

I do believe that Galadriel truly felt something strong for Halbrand during season 1. Whatever if it was love or just a deep friendship/connection, she has felt something for him. (I would be lying if I say otherwise).

But, I don't believe in Galadriel being in love with Sauron, at all.

I think it was made clear by the showrunners since the end of season 1:

When she learned Halbrand was in reality Sauron, her first reflex was to stab him (without any hesitation BTW). Plus, she clearly refused his offer.

In season 2, she also made it clear that "The door is shut".

Let's also recall that Sauron is implied in Finrod's death (her dear brother). That she (probably) loose Celeborn because of the war and that Sauron directly killed Celebrimbor (her friend).

She has absolutely no reason to love him, believe me.

So, I think we can all agree on the fact that Galadriel felt something for Halbrand, but not for Sauron.

It was also shown multiple times during season 2:

I'm thinking about her discussion with Gil-Galad when she said "Halbrand" instead of "Sauron". Or her reaction during episode 8, when Sauron took back his Halbrand form.

But what about Sauron?

He is the great deceiver... So in my opinion, he deceived Galadriel the same way he did with Celebrimbor, Mirdania or everyone else in this series.

He offers people what they desire. And this is exactly what he did with Galadriel, because he thinks she can help him to achieve his goal to rule over Middle-Earth.

That's all.

I will take this sentence as an example: "I will make you a Queen" and not "my Queen".

The use of "a" instead of "my" is what make me think he doesn't have any feelings towards her and knows she doesn't either.

When he offers her to be a Queen, he gave what she deeply desired. And in this case, it wasn't being his Queen. It was, as she said herself "an army" or the power to become a powerful ruler.

Don't you think that he would have offered her to be his Queen if he knows she was in love with him? I mean, love is a strong feeling that Sauron could have use to have her on his side. But he hasn't!

So, yeah, I'm not taking any of Sauron's offer for Galadriel as love proposal...

Although, Sauron being in love is not something I'm against! (Has you can guess)

But in the case of saurondriel, I don't see any romantic feelings.

So, to resume, I do believe Galadriel felt something strong for Halbrand, but I don't believe into Sauron and Galadriel being in love.

But I guess, only the showrunners know the truth after all...

So please, note that even if I'm not an haladriel/saurondriel shipper, I do respect all people who enjoy this ship.

In fact, I can understand why you like this pairing. The rivalry between light and darkness make their dynamic really interesting.

So, even thought I'm not into it, I still enjoy looking at haladriel/saurondriel fanarts or read fanfic/theories about this ship.

Also, I would like to finish by saying that's OK if you don't agree with my interpretation. After all, we all have a personal one.

But please, I will ask you to respect my own vision of haladriel/saurondriel.

Thank you ❤️

And thank you again anon for your kind message 🥰✨️

I wish you a nice day ✨️

I think the biggest difficulty with having guests on reddit stories compared to cast is that people have ranging parasocial relationships with cast and are ergo more charitable to them. Or even when they disagree, they don't mind as much. While they don't have that with guests and are much more likely to be genuinely mad.

To be fair for some people, it is actually the other way around where their parasocial relationships lead to them getting more hurt because they feel like they got betrayed by a friend or something.

And obviously, when guests are on, they always have the same opinion as Shayne and the other cast member. And fans are therefor also disagreeing with cast, but then the focus of discussion is mostly on the guest. And the focus the cast gets is in form of "disappointment".

So it is more a charitabilty issue for most I think. That people use the term "vibes" so much when talking about how they don't like guests is really emboldening that viewpoint for me. (I have a slight personal gripe with the term and people using it to express opinions tbh)

I really don't think cast has less often bad takes, but I do think people interpret that "going back and forth/ exploring different viewpoints" ping pong play they do on that show a lot way worse when it comes from guests. Or like just straight-up jokes.

This isn't a comment about if smosh should have guests in gen btw. I am kinda neutral about that. It's a comment on how peoples preemptive charitabilty influences their judgment on the takes.

I am kinda neutral/pos on the guest thing, like if it is someone I know or like I am excited and if I don't I really care. This is kinda a tangent but I also think people miss the mark when they talk about how the smosh audience doesn't care/know about tiktokers and should only have youtuber guests. The reddit stories audience definitely does care about tiktokers. It is their wide net show, like I watched the new episode with my sister today, who only watches reddit stories from smosh. She knew the guest, while she didn't know who Trevor was.

Anyway I wrote this because I go out of every reddit stories episodes disagreeing with some takes more or less, but I mostly see people voice disagreements when guests are on and this is my attempt at analyzing it. If anyone wants to chime in and disagree or add on I would welcome it. Still not fully formed opinion it. Malleable and squishy opinion one could say.

COCO'S REVIEW: LACKADAISY INGENUE (Ft. @thesilliestofallqueers)

Welcome to Coco’s Review! Where I review and breakdown episodes, movies and etc and overthink every tiny detail  and/or give my thoughts and opinions :D

Today I'm discussing Lackadaiy Ingenue (ft.Robin)

Yes I’m a fan of Lackadaisy! I haven’t been there since the start BUT I have been following the series ever since the animated pilot- I’ve also read a handful of the comics but I wasn’t able to read everything. But I have a good idea of the characters and their lore. I’m very happy to revisit this series through Lackadaisy Ingenue! So to start things off I want to define what ‘Ingenue’ means for those who don’t know (like I did). According to google, “An Ingenue is an innocent or unsophisticated young woman, especially in a play or film.” which makes a lot of sense since this short focuses on Ivy when she was a little kitten (I’m assuming she’s around 6-9 here), and I guess this short technically counts as a film. New word to add to your vocabulary ✨ So the short opens with Ivy’s father, Reuben Peppers showing off a car to Atlas (who is confirmed to be Ivy’s godfather in the description). Btw Reuben sounds INCREDIBLY young in my opinion, I didn’t even think he was her father- I thought he was her older brother or something but nope, that’s her dad. Confirmed in the description!

We aren’t even a minute in and I’m already asking questions- mostly with how close Ivy and Reuben are. With “I like it when it’s just you and me”, it got me confused since it IS just them traveling. I’m going to assume maybe she prefers private trips with her father over using public transportation where others can hear their conversations. Which really shows how close they probably are if Ivy really enjoys one-on-one time with him. 

So as Reuben greets Mitzi, Atlas, Viktor and “Joe”. Reuben and Mitzi have an interesting conversation… “What happened to New Years?” “It’s Effie, she's uh.. We’ll talk later” The look Reuben gives Ivy might imply that “Effie” is Ivy’s mother or just a relative of the Pepper family since Reuben doesn’t want to talk about it with Ivy listening. But that's just me- So that’s totally not suspicious :D 

I also just want to mention the nice hug Atlas and Reuben have- it really does seem like they’re very close. Which is probably why Atlas is Ivy’s godfather- Atlas seems pretty comfortable around Reuben too! From what I can tell Atlas was more of a “show more, talk less” kinda guy but that’s maybe because this is my first real introduction to him before he died (lmk if he appears in a flashback in the comics). He doesn’t have any lines in this episode too so I just thought that’d be interesting to point out. And that's why I came to that conclusion.

Upnext is Ivy meeting Mordecai for the first time I’m assuming. So this seems to take place when Mordecai used to work with Lackadaisy before switching to Marigold. This also confirms that he was the bookkeeper for the daisy cafe to which if you don’t know- a bookkeeper oversees a company's financial data and compliance by maintaining accurate books on accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and daily financial entries and reconciliations. They basically take care of the finances of the cafe. This scene also highlights the gun Mordecai was trying to hide, which I guess adds more evidence for Ivy to what these people actually do for a living. In the description it seems that Ivy is not very aware of what her father does for work. At least at the time. Mordecai having a gun despite being “just” a bookkeeper gives her an idea of what they might actually do other than running a cafe.

Also the “I subtract numbers too” line is fucking hilarious I’m sorry 😭 Now we have the scene where Ivy and Viktor’s bond seems to have started! I would eat up their interactions in the comics istg I LOVE THEM<33 Victor becoming that one chill uncle 

Viktor lying about how Mordecai broke his arm is fucking hilarious too- I’m now requesting a short comic of Mordecai trying to rollerskate but failing miserably! ANYONE PLEASE- TAG ME IF YOU DO THAT (Rob ik youre an artist pls /j)

I don’t have a lot to say about this scene- I just love Ivy and Viktor’s dynamic smm! I gotta talk abt them in one of my Dynamic Duos episodes! (getting ready to go through so many comics) After their interaction Ivy notices a broken car door with bullet holes on it. It looks very similar to the door Viktor was replacing while he and Ivy were talking. That’s when Ivy pieced it together, Mordecai’s gun and the bullet holes? Yeah it became obvious to her that these guys are criminals-

You can tell that was her conclusion with her asking Viktor directly if they were robbers or gangsters while also assuring that the secret is safe with her! 

I’d just end my breakdown here BUT YOU SAW THE TITLE! I would like to welcome my first guest ROBIN!!! Aka TheSilliestofallQueers :D I wanted to bring them in because they know more about the extensive lore of Lackadaisy so I feel like this’d be a perfect time to have them featured! SO I GIVE THE FLOOR TO ROBIN!! 

HELLO YES THIS IS ROBIN!! (@thesilliestofallqueers)

I’m not as obsessed with Lackadaisy as I used to be back when the animated pilot was just released (I had a friend who got me into it, thank you for that Breezy) but I still know quite a bit so I’ll be putting a few footnotes to this already extensive deep dive into the animated short

Apologies in advance but this is just going to be me analyzing / ranting about Viktor and Ivy’s interactions since Coco didn’t!! (ITS SPELLED WITH A K?? -Coco fixing her typos) (YEAH ITS VIKTOR LMFAOOAOAOAO -Rob) Now first of all, I found it so endearing that Viktor almost immediately warms up to Ivy and starts joking with her / trying to cover up what they actually do with lighthearted / white lies. 

As someone who has read the comics I always knew Viktor was fiercely protective of Ivy (He beat up her exes because he thought they were no good lol) but Ivy almost always responded to this by being annoyed with Viktor (specifically in the instance of the ex boyfriends, she got mad at Viktor for it)

So seeing her as a kid getting along with Viktor so well was refreshing and sweet (Also this short implies that these mfs are OLD AS HELL -Coco) (YEAH IT DO DUNNIT LMFAOAOAO -Robbobin)

Now they keep getting along until Viktor suddenly tells Ivy that she shouldn’t be there in the middle of her telling a joke, and you can SEE his expression shift from fond to worried as I guess he realizes that if he keeps being nice to her, she’ll want to stick around. Therefore putting her in more danger than if she was kept away

He slams the car door as he yells at her to go, and she does, but not before giving him one last angry look because dude WHAT THE FUCKK WE WERE SO CHILL LIKE 5 SECONDS AGO

And then Coco details the rest of what happened 

SORRY IF MY PORTION WAS SHORT I JUST WANTED TO EXPAND ON WHAT COCO DIDNT LMFAOOAOA (also there wasn’t much to go off of since it was short + coco covered most of it in detail already) THANK YOU ROB FOR YOUR INPUT!! Tbh I was struggling with finding words for Viktor and Ivy’s scene so thankfully Rob did the job! Please go follow Rob on their page! And that concludes our breakdown of Lackadaisy Ingenue :D  Huge respect to Tracy Butler and her team for their amazing work on this because the animation is GORGEOUS and the storytelling is super clever! I’m so excited to cover the future episodes of the series when it eventually comes out !!

This is Coco and Robin typing... thank you for reading!

[clit-licker420]

Hi I'm kind of going insane from thinking about this for hours so I need to ask someone. There has been many critisisms for the 4b movement but there were few that stuck with me and got me thinking like crazy so I would appreciate your opinion. A black trans man said that 4b is white women's movement and that black women cannot afford to separate themselves from black men, because they need to stand together against racism. Does this have merit? Another critique by the same person was that this movement focuses too much on villanizing men instead of decentering ourselves from them, which I don't agree but it was an interesting thought. And the last take, the current popular one, was that this movement is transphobic. Which I disagree with I do not understand how it could be transphobic. Btw I don't believe in the notion that trans women are men, I'm very against transphobia because it makes be uncomfortable.

hi anon! im going to try to answer your questions as best as i can but im not an expert so please dont take what i say as indisputable fact. id encourage you and any other people with questions to read widely and draw your own conclusions, but heres my two cents:

1. 4b is a movement created by south korean women, largely practised there and in nearby countries like china. purely from this standpoint i dont understand how it can be honestly called a white womans movement.

2. regarding the conflict black women face between often racist feminist movement and often misogynistic black right movements, i’m speaking as a white woman, so take my opinion with extra salt here. i fully understand why some black women and woc might feel alienated by feminist movements in the west, which disproportionally discuss white womens issues. that said, misogyny bypasses culture, race, and ethnicity. men of every country, race, and religion materially oppress women in their communities. ultimately i advocate for a unified, fully intersectional feminism where black women and all woc can feel welcomed and valued, and it is the duty of white feminists like myself to ensure the spaces we built meet those standards. but the idea that woc must choose between one or the other strikes me as disingenuous, and trying to force women to prioritise men’s needs ahead of their own.

3. men will always perceive decentering as villainisation, because anything less than submission is an insult. the fact is that thousands upon thousands of years of women humanising, empathising, and treating men with kindness have not improved our conditions, and no amount of coddling from women will make men suddenly decide to see us as equals. 4b is about prioritising women’s material safety and security over mens feelings.

4. whether or not 4b is transphobic depends on who you ask. one of the 4 bs is no pregnancy or childbirth, which can still be possible between a cis and trans woman depending on the individuals. this might be why some perceive it as transphobic. while there are some feminists who will utilise 4b for transphobia, i would welcome trans women into the 4b movement, as they are also frequent victims of male sexual violence.

hopefully this gives you some clarity. if any other feminists have more to add on this topic, please do!!

[smoshsfavoritepizzaplace]

I don't want to be that person, but why does every post that has Shayne being affectionate with Courtney get inundated with comments like....

"No one is going to take her bro, calm down!"

or

Relax man, you're married!

I respect a good joke once in awhile, but when it is accompanying almost every post like the photo booth ones today, it is a little overkill, no?

Obviously they are married, so why not allow them to be however clingy/touchy they want to be?

I know people are gonna say it is in reference to the comment Shayne made back in the day about affection in the agree to disagree series. In all honesty though, he just has his hand on their shoulder because they are wedged in there and they seem to be sitting on his lap and he is making sure they don't fall, I think?

Even with all that conjecture out of the way, there isn't anything wrong with his hand placement anyway. I mean this happens with almost every other photo of them like this. It also happened back at the bachelor/bachelorette party and with the wedding photos too.

They are clearly more comfortable than ever and it just seems weird to make "jokes" like these.

For me, I equate it to how people, including myself get upset with others assuming Shayne took every single one of Court's ig photos or them being constantly bombarded with questions about where Shayne is or for them to do tiktoks together.

It just feels like this has gotten stale. And after that awkward comment on the most recent Smoshmouth episode about Shayne ignoring Court and then ending it with OP encouraging Court to run already, WTF?

And I've seen fans on Smoshtwt that were quick to call this out for being parasocial and wrong, which is amazing btw, but not this though?

This harkens back to what was discussed on the reveal Smoshmouth, how they wanted people to respect their privacy and not dissect everything they do/what is posted.

I'm sorry this was a long ramble, but I just felt like this was a bit odd, ya know? I don't want to stop people from taking the piss out of something by any means, but at least to me this feels like it has overstayed it's welcome.

✌

No need to apologize, your opinion is very valid! But I honestly take it as a joke. I don’t think most people who say those things mean it seriously. I think it’s just a trend where someone is seen holding something very closely/tightly and people will comment that. I especially see it on Twitter and a bit on TikTok so it’s a high likely hood of it not necessarily relating directly to Shayne and Courtney and more a running bit on the app. Here’s an example of a random one I found lol

But yeah with the smosh mouth comment was really overboard. If you haven’t seen it, someone commented on the one from yesterday about how Shayne was apparently “ignoring” Courtney and only paying attention to Amanda and Courtney should run already. I can’t even really express how dumb that thought is because I feel like it’s just common sense. Like shourtney and Amanda are in two very secure marriages so I really don’t get how people are like, “oh, Amanda is so disrespectful of their/her own relationship!” If I’m being honest, I feel like Amanda flirts with almost every one BUT Shayne. She literally calls Spencer hot every chance she gets, has marriage allegations with Angela, has kissed Olivia and Courtney (technically), and many more and she flirts the most with Shayne? Idk how that makes sense lol.

[sitp-recs]

hi liv, long time follower first time asker! ☺️

i have a LOT of spare time on my hands so i’ve been reading a lot of fanfiction recently (like, a lot, don’t ask). i’ve read several fics recently that i honestly didn’t expect to like that much but i ended up *loving*. SO i wanted to ask, do you have 5 (or whatever) fics that you enjoyed more than you expected to?

(p.s. thanks so much for running this blog. it’s one of the first tumblrs i found when i got back into fandom and all your opinions and recs have taken me to some wonderful places 💜)

Hello friend, welcome to my ask box haha and thank you for this amazing ask! I’m happy to know you’ve been enjoying the blog and recs 💗 I love this ask btw, it’s a great feeling to fall unexpectedly and utterly in love with a story you didn’t think you’d be too invested in. This happened with one of my all-time faves, Far From the Tree by aideomai, and with other long fics or stories exploring themes that aren’t on my priority list or aren’t my usual jam. I listed 5 of those happy surprises below (tried to focus on fics I don’t see being recced often) and am very curious to know which ones surprised you in that way. I know you said you’ve been reading A LOT and I shouldn’t ask, but maybe just a lil teaser with five faves?? 👀

1. Timecode by Rasborealis (M, 73k) - my rec

Harry Potter has been dead for two years, and Draco would laugh in the face of anyone claiming differently. Well, anyone but Hermione Granger.

2. Super Rich Kids by @thusspoketrish (E, 81k) - my rec

Draco Malfoy has become disillusioned by the glitz and glamour of the scandalous lives of the Post-Second Wizarding War Pureblood Elite. Enter: one existential crisis, one group of thieving cynical friends, and several terrible, terrible decisions.

3. He Comes Like a Thunderstorm by @korlaena (E, 140k)

Draco is doing his best to balance the life he wants to live and the life he’s forced to live. He’s nearing the tail-end of a long, post-war probation when Harry Potter crashes back into his life with all the grace of a charging Erumpent, breaking through his carefully constructed rules and routine.

4. Can't Sit Still by wilteddaisy (E, 193k)

Five years after the war, Harry finds himself drawn to Draco Malfoy by memories that aren't his own.

5. The Secret Keeper by @the-fools-errand (M, 225k) - my rec

On Halloween 1981, Albus Dumbledore made a decision that would change the course of history, concealing Harry Potter’s survival at the hands of Lord Voldemort underneath a Fidelius Charm. But when Harry comes of age in the Muggle world, Dumbledore realises too late that the fate of the world may depend on a boy who has never held a wand.

Bonus: Survival of the Species (E, 47k) by my friend @romaine2424, a Veela!Draco banger!

Draco approaches Harry on the 9 ¾ platform, after their sons have boarded the Hogwarts Express, and invites him over for tea. The discussion they have leads them on an adventure that neither could have expected. There be dragons! HPDH compliant but before any other canon info had been released.

[souji-upseta]

yo my name is nyx, it's my birthday today (2/3). my birthdays have sucked SHIT the past few years for reasons that are depressing—

—cringe is also dead, i killed her myself, and i'm still grieving her loss. its been very hard for me—

—since i am the protagonist of Me and can do st abt this, this year i turn 31, and i will at some point turn 31.4, with all of this in mind, what do i want for my birthday? i'll tell you:

to talk about homestuck.

i'll do that, anyways, but you'd be doing me a gift by giving me a prompt to follow, and to feel slightly more validated in my inability to shut up about my hyperfixation.

so i'm asking YOU to talk about homestuck with me.

talk to me abt homestuck? ask me my headcanons. my thoughts. my relationship to the work. tell me yours. expect nothing that's profound, and plenty that's stupid.

i'm even turning anon on, for the first time in 6 fucking years. where making this happen.

this never expires btw. today is my birthday, but, for story purposes, let's say that it's still my birthday after it isn't, bc i will still want and, if i am honest, NEED you to talk to me about homestuck for years onward. i'm very metatextual like that.

i get the feeling it's going to be a long day.

>Nyx: Be the other guy.

You are now the other guy! What will you do?

>Web Tumblr User: Inbox Tumblr user souji-upseta?

>Mobile App Tumblr User: Do that, but hyperlink is unavailable?

=(n���)>

FOURTH WALL BREAK!

you are now nyx again, and i am now me, and i need to exposit some lore.

as in, some starting points to get u going, since "homestuck" is a very broad subject:

•i'm a massive massive slut for the epilogues and post canon content/hsbc. pesterquest is too good for this gay earth.

•dirk is my fav, ALL of the dirks, all of them, and it isn't even close. my fav relationship is the canon platonic/familial one between dirk and dave. i fucking love the striders. dave is my 1.5th fav.

•im more invested in dave's relationship to corndogs (and corn dogs) than you even know.

•mspa reader is my second fav after the striders, bc they are a good thembo friendsimp and also bc they are me and they are You. i might be biased. i love You. i love me. i love us. we're fucking gr8.

•im pretty canon-compliant, so my fav ship is dirkjake as exes (for now), and my fav ship as not-exes is panquadrant (canon) davekat.

i'm also really fascinated by rosemary and would welcome more opportunities to learn abt and talk about them but if homestuck makes a statement about anything it's to let the women and the sapphic characters tell their story (thats a joke, talk to me abt them too)

•june eg(g)bert real.

•i'm fascinated by classpects and the applications of paradox space's classpecting and extended zodiac system when applied to real life, since our only experience of those fictional systems is in linear dimensions of spacetime, and our only experience of astrology is as a species that in-universe cannot experience the sign caste system the same way the fictional aliens that created our species in their own image do. skaia knows, but we sure as fuck don't.

•i'm a former prince of heart (2012-2020) and a current knight of space, and my aspect is light. that is a thing that actually makes perfect sense for the reasons i just said.

don't ask me about vriska serket or (vriska) serket. not bc i'm not willing to discuss dark or problematic characters (hello, lanque bombyx) but bc:

for one, she can speak for her damn self, and has, tyvm.

for two, talking at length about a problematic character in any positive capacity marks you as an enemy of the state if that character is a woman, and being an enemy of the state is way too much fucking pressure for me for reasons i already explained as soon as i told you i'm a knignt of space. i wouldnt make a very good enemy of the state. it'd be an unhealthy blackrom relationship to the detriment of us all.

for three, i can just give you all my opinions/headcanons on vriska that matter:

•JOHN HUGGING VRISKA IN HSBC YESSSSSSSSSS

•she's greasy and gross and unkept af but not unclean or unsanitary, like, she bathes, she smells fine, she changes her clothes, but she's got the troll crust punk aesthetic absolutely on LOCK. she doesn't comb her hair.

•it would have been funny if she did even more bad things

•aradia did nothing wrong. vriska did but the meme is funny even if someone needs to take that meme out back and shoot it for the good of humanity.

•she should beat up ultimate dirk, and my reasoning for that is bc that would, also, be really fucking funny if she did

•john has both punched her in the face and hugged her, and now that john has punched aranea in the face, all that's left is for june—i assume she will have come out of her egg(bert) by then—to hug aranea and complete the circle of stupidity.

•she is trans yeah but she doesn't wanna get into it, she doesn't have to, and neither do i.

•vrisrezi most important relationship in homestuck.

there. you already got me to talk about vriska at length, and you didn't have to try. moot issue.

uh oh get ready for the biggest, waffliest hot take of the century from yours truly, bobby vernon

tumblr my first love ❤️

I think I need to get back into fandom on tumblr. twitter and the save discord server are nice, but recently I've been really bummed with so much speculation about the actors' private lives. or honestly really people just getting way too excited every time there's a "new ali pic" or a "new ruby pic". (cameron, sensibly, is not on social media much)

I don't mean to single out any one person or indirect any one here by the way. I just had a thing a few months ago where I realised how much the idea of celebrities weirds me out. (these totally normal people whom we put on a pedestal and for some reason take what they say as having more value even though it's not usually based in any expertise whatsoever? wild.) I'm sure I'm a hypocrite in all of this as well, btw, like I'm definitely not immune.

I just wish there was a way to be part of those two platforms and completely avoid any of that chat. I think now that I'm in them, I'd miss them too keenly if I left. like, I love the twitter community, it's so much fun and everyone's so nice! and I like seeing the planning on discord and sometimes sticking in a lil opinion or two in the book and show discussion channels.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this honestly. I didn't "fall off" tumblr for any particular reason, I think my queue just ran out (I have like hundreds of draft posts lol) so it seems like I've been here less, and currently I only access social media on my laptop in an attempt to beat down a phone addiction. so I'd like to get back here where at the core of the little corner of the fandom I've ended up in we just love the world of lockwood & co.

that's all from me for now!

(you are more than welcome to reblog and add or respond, but this is more of a vent and I probably won't be arguing any of my points or replying to any responses. this has just been my opinion for the last few months and I want to put it out there 😊)

Ma'am! MA'AM!

The people want to know! The press is getting hounded by them wanting answers, and now we've had to hound you!

The question they're dying to know is:

What are your opinions on radishes?

(*bum bum BUM bum- bum bum bum bum bada bum...* [that's a news intro song btw])

This is Produce: Veggies and Fruits on both sides of the aisle. The question we face now is, will president racoon say what everyone already knows, or will she deflect to start talking about cranberries? And how will this impvt her bid for reelection against Turdman? We go to our anchor, live from...

(*Cshhhhhhh*[channel switch])

(*Bah bah BAH bada bah*[different news intro])

Hi welcome to Real Talk on Ox-fay "News", I'm Cucked (which was a typo from r but than i realized that made it past tense and that was funny, i was just gonna switch the letters around lol) Carlson. This morning Miss Racoon has been faced with a difficult question. Will she own the snow flake fruits and join us on the right side of history? Or join the vile Fruity folk? Joining me to discuss the matter...

(*pew* [thats ur cheif of staff turning off the tv])

Madam president, the press needs to know your opinion. What do we tell them?

fuck radishes and everything that they stand for

Intro

Slug | He/They | 23 | Aspec

Hey, welcome to my stupid side blog that I treat as my main!

Here to talk about proship stuff and my other views on things, fandom-related or otherwise! I’m pretty open-minded about things, and I love a good discussion! I also post selfship shit too! Feel free to send asks and such about anything! I like talking, but usually not through DMs unfortunately. My method of interacting with people is reblogs and asks lol

I talk about topics that could trigger people, but I always try to provide a tw on the post's tags that discuss those things! I also try to tag things appropriately so people can avoid my posts! I frequently discuss nsfw as well, so if that makes you uncomfortable, then be aware! Feel free to block me if you would like, I really don’t mind if you don’t want to see my content!

Here's a link to my f/o list btw!

More under the cut! (It's very long :( lol)

Tags I Use Sometimes

slugs rambles (where all my bullshit goes)

Fandom tags, but only the main ones (fnv, homestuck, and gravity falls mostly)

Certain ship tags

Anything that’s a typical trigger is usually tagged with “tw” before the trigger (sometimes I forget, sorry)

If I don’t tw my tag, then it will have the trigger without the “tw” in front of it as the tag

Any general tag tbh

Things About Me

AuDHD

OSDD1b system (we speak in first person, we try not to use “we” unless discussing system things)

LGBTQ+ (aegosexual, biromantic, nb, trans masc)

Non human (alterhuman really)

Pro kink (even the scary ones! Pet play, abdl, ddlg/ddlb, and the like are all fine and cool as long as it’s with consenting adults!)

Para neutral (big three is NON CONTACT but I don’t care what gets you off if you aren’t hurting people lol)

Radinclus (not radqueer though)

Comship (but most of my ships are pretty basic lol)

Self ship (ask me about my f/os IF YOU DARE)

I hate the government (all of them)

Proship in the way I’m 100% anti censorship, but I personally don’t like certain types of fictional content and I’m against harassment if it purely involves opinions over fiction.

Fiction can affect reality, but fiction affects everyone differently. Fiction should never be taken at face value. Some people just lack critical thinking skills and they let fiction affect them in a way that dictates their real life morals, or the other way around :/

Fandoms I Like To Talk About Sometimes

Listed, top to bottom, from most to least relevant btw lol

Fallout (replaying New Vegas currently!)

Homestuck AND Beyond Canon

Hiveswap

Gravity Falls

Wimp Witch (check it out, the artist is cool!)

Kink and the psychology of sex/arousal

People I don’t really like

Not a dni, but serves a similar purpose of expressing who I don’t agree with. Not all of these people are disliked equally, some are disliked more than others. And I may not even dislike people in this category at all, as I may just be uncomfortable and that’s it. Y’all can interact all you want, but I won’t agree with you when it comes to certain things in this list lol. And I'm not opposed t blocking people either lol

LGBTQ+ exclusionist

Terf/radfem

Anti ace-spec

Nazi

Endogenic systems (I’m a traumagenic system and it makes me uncomfortable. Just so we’re clear, I do believe if you know you are a system, then you are one though lol)

Transid/radqueer

Anti shippers (depends on how you personally define that term though lol)

Anti recovery

Zoophile

Incest/consang

Anti kink/sex negative

Pro contact para/supporter

Minors (/hj)

Anti recovery

Glimmergroves nobility and royalty is especially strict with the structure and dynamic, as they are the oldest kingdom and have a lot of beta and alphas(so lots of bias) and so their omega laws arent as good as...literally every other empire(the sanctuary has the best btw)

This is mainly due to the nobles of glimmergrove keeping the laws in limbo through bribery or arguments, etc. A lot of the laws in limbo have passed since Katherine inherited the throne. But also she's spent all her time around nobles and their ideals and has been traumatized/influenced by them. So she's hesitant on others unintentionally....until shelbys comes along and she starts to unlearn everything she was, wrongly, taught. And it starts from their frost meeting

the argument went a bit like this: most omegas come in for collars you know- are you sure enough only want the hat?, .....I'm sorry- what?, well most omegas usually have someone special when they come in here and so order collars- or have a mark you don't got either, so?, nothing just a bit odd, you do realize what you just implied right?, hm?, not all omegas have a partner you shouldn't assume they do- and even if they do they shouldn't have to buy a collar they don't belong to whoever their dating, I- I know I didn't mean it like that-, yeah well it sure as hell sounds like it., I- I'm sorry, I didn't think-, yeah a lot of people dont...., ....sorry...., just don't do it again.

That was how Katherine learned that unlike what other alphas taught her, omegas do not think of the collar as a gift. But as an insult, like they are below everyone else. And most of the classes below nobles and royalty know this- it's why when Alpha and omega couples come into her shop(the oens who live here) seem awkward, the alpha seeming guilty and the omega seeming nervouse. She always just thought it was because she didn't have enough varieties of collars or they had a fight before coming in(gg has the ancient and biased law that omages gotta wear a collar or bite mark to show their not single so they dont 'tempt other alphas' katherine realizes how biased it is now)

So now if she doesn't understand what a law for omegas means or thinks it's weird she'll get shelbys opinion on what exactly it'd mean for omegas.....to her suprise these laws have been passed in every empire, that's in the are aka the main other 11 minus s+k, except hers which makes her feel angry and sick/guilty. Shelby reassures her by saying shes doing more then any previouse ruler of her land and how its 'better late then never right?'(It also makes so much more sense now as to why so many omegas moved out of glimmergrove)

-🐺

She still faces a lot of resistance, treading a thin line between change and fighting against the nobles. That's before her own life experience even gets involved. She refuses to be like her parents, though. Everybody should feel welcomed in Glimmergrove. (Katherine wants Shelby to feel welcome here, in her home.) She knows how it feels to be ostracized for something out of your control.

She does what she can to form relationships between communities. People are understandably reluctant to meet with her. Shelby must see something in her, because she often helps Katherine get her foot in the door. Katherine doesn't think she'd have been able to meet Sausage without her help (his expertise was incredibly valuable. And to her surprise, she didn't even think to ask what his designation is!)

Things are going well, and Katherine begins drafting up more powerful laws to protect the omegas within Glimmergrove - ensuring they have the same right as any beta or alpha to exist as their own person. She's already noticed the bristling in court, but she's an alpha for a damn reason. How is it fair that omegas aren't even allowed in these discussions about the laws and leadership of their kingdom? Laws that affect them, especially!

Money and power, it turns out, talks.

Katherine can barely get a word in as one of the oldest council members argues that she is a curse upon the kingdom, just as was foreseen at her birth. They say her corruption will tear the kingdom apart. They've lived in comfortable stability for centuries, they cannot let the cursed princess shake the foundations of their peace.

In a room of threatened, powerful betas and alphas with a whole lot to lose, Katherine is alone. Her counter arguments are ignored, because of course they would be. For all their fancy words about peace and stability, she knows they mean 'power'. She wants to cry that if their stability is built on injustice then it deserves to fall, but she doubts that will win her any favours.

The first assassination attempt is only a few days later, clearly discontent with the long process of stripping her political power formally. Katherine is lucky it was one of the nights Shelby was visiting. Her visits are in secret, especially considering the current situation. But it meant the would-be assassin wasn't expecting her.

When they step outside the room, all of Katherine's guards are gone. Not dead, no. But not a single one is at their post. They've stuck a target on her back and cleared the way to it as well.

Shelby squeezes her hand tightly. Katherine grits her teeth and squeezes back.

hello !! was wondering if I could request headcanons for magnus x ftm reader? preferably fluff and maybe some light nsfw? (nothing explicit though)

headcanons on pre-relationship, and then when they actually become a thing?

sorry if this it too much btw

Hey, dear anon! Don't worry, it's not too much 😊 Thank you for the ask, I hope you enjoy a couple of random headcanons (a couple more questions like this and I'll start questioning my loyalty to Lance already and switch to Magnus as more than just a platonic relationship 🌝)

I don't know if I should put an NSFW warning here, since that one is just a transparent hint, but let it be. Anyway, enjoy 🫰

Magnus with FTM (female-to-male) Farmer:

_________________________________________

Magnus has the ability to look into Farmer's future, but because it takes a lot of preparation time, strength, and mana, he can't see all the events of Farmer's life. And some of the events there are... quite interesting 👀

At first he had treated Farmer as he did the other inhabitants of the Valley - not too eager to make friends. He's used to incredulous looks and a bit of scepticism, given his line of work.

Later, when Farmer would be recognised for his potential in magic and curiosity about everything in Magnus Tower, Rasmodius would be a little suspicious, but outwardly would not show it. The Wizard has had his fair share of instances where someone has tried to strike up a friendship with him to use his magical assets for their own selfish purposes.

But when Magnus sees that the Farmer is kind and really wants to be friends with him because he thinks he's an interesting person - then a strong friendship bordering on a student/teacher relationship will develop.

A farmer is always welcome in his tower, whether he's here on a mission or just looking for a chat. Magnus may live like a hermit, but even he could use someone to chat with, and it doesn't have to be about magic or adventurism.

Both Farmer and Rasmodius act like besties when it comes to discussing the secrets of growing flowers and vegetables over a cup of tea.

There are times when Magnus will act like a strict teacher if the Farmer hurts himself on an adventure or uses magic incorrectly, nearly maiming himself.

Even if the wizard has already developed romantic feelings for Farmer, still the bouquet of flowers given to him will strike him like lightning. Farmer wants to dedicate his life to him? It's just that, after all the failures and poor choices he made in life, Magnus doesn't think he's a good candidate....

The farmer, however, clearly disagreed with Magnus's opinion of himself, kissing him passionately and when later the entire tower was filled with the sounds of the bed creaking, moaning and declarations of love.

Magnus doesn't usually like to discuss his family affairs with others, considering it very personal to him, however he sometimes finds it hard to contain his own excitement when he talks about Farmer's magical talent to his colleagues. "Just an amazing hidden talent! My boyfriend- er... *ahem*, my apprentice was able to recite the spell on the first try." Camilla would tease him about it all the time.

The first one to comfort his lover if he feels awful, or if some random tourists started to mock Farmer because of his appearance, or if some jerk from Farmer's previous work at Joja started to mispronounce his pronounce on purpose to hit him harder. The Farmer won't see it, but Magnus will be filled with a rage that even Camilla would fear. Let the offenders pray to Yoba, because even though Magnus won't hurt them directly, they'll be sorry they dared to open their filthy mouths and say something bad about his boyfriend.

Given that they both love the forest, many of their events will take place there: walking, gathering ingredients for potions, a date, some... other pleasant activities 🌚

A romantic, sweet and funny wizard with a chaotic, kind and incredible farmer.... ❤️
