#i'm over it now

[lemotmo]

Hi Nonny! I've chosen to remove the link you sent me before answering this, for a myriad of reasons really.

First of all, that post was a load of drivel. I'm sorry...

The level of condescension in this post was vomit-inducing. They literally started with 'As a fandom old person...'

Well, I checked and guess what? I am older than them. What does that make me then? The wise old hag who has all the fandom answers?

Puh-lease! Give me a break. 🙄

What even are they talking about? Toxic fandom? Slurgate? Really? This person that obviously is a Lou/Tommy stan is calling out the Buddie fandom for toxicity? Are they for real? 🤦‍♀️

The fandom that did nothing but harass us, called us homophobic and biphobic and falsely accused us of terrible things? The fandom that harassed actors and crew and made them go private? The fandom that sent actual death threats to people? The fandom that completely changed our relatively peaceful Buddie fandom forever with their toxicity? And this as soon as 7x04 had aired?

THAT fandom??? One of these people is actually making posts called 'note with empathy to Buddie fans'???

Maybe they should first check within their own fandom and start blocking the toxic figures there. I have done exactly that and let me tell you, there's a lot of them.

I'm sorry for my anger here, but man... the condescension is just insane. 'There are still so many places Buddie shippers can go to enjoy the fanon content, even if it'll never be canon'??? And what? We'll all just merrily go on our way, happily making room for BT? The real canon ship???

Oh be for f*cking real already. 🤬

At the end of the day: Buddie is NOT shipbaiting. We literally got big movements in the Buddie storyline in season 8 and we still have two episodes to go. While BT took blow after blow. How much more clear can this show get for them to catch a clue.

Last, is there toxicity in this fandom? Yes, no doubt about it. I have yet to encounter a fandom where there isn't some level of toxicity. But let me tell you this:

As a fandom old...

The Buddie fandom was relatively quiet and peaceful with minor toxic elements, but then 7x04 happened. What should have been a celebration of bi Buck quickly turned into something different all together because of a bunch of obnoxious people who decided that the actor of one single plot device character was going to be their own personal Jesus they could worship. Bi Buck fell to the wayside and only the plot device character remained important for those people.

It was then! And only then that REAL toxicity was introduced to the Buddie fandom. The call didn't come from within the house. It came from the outside.

So yes Nonny! I agree. This is definitely revisionist history of our fandom.

I will spend not a second longer thinking about drivel posts and their writers either. Literally blocking the poster and everyone who engaged with that post.

*takes a deep breath to calm down again*

And remember Nonny... when you see shit posts like that? Don't engage. Just ignore, block and move on.

Oh and... can I kindly ask you to not send posts like this to my inbox? Thanks. I mean, I get why you did it, but my blood pressure can't handle things like this.

Remember, I'm a fandom old. 👵

Please info dump to me about Swap!Kris.

i never saw this and also i died 💀

anyway! canonically owns a hot pink bend and snap sweatshirt and has been woken up at 3am by daryan crescend on multiple occasions. has worn the same outfit for seven years, as in has multiple of the same jumper/jeans/shirt and rotates between them. canonically has weed socks.

dredging up ye olde google dokumente for this jesus christ. on a more serious/lore note:

it is important to remember that i have personal beef with miles edgeworth for being an ugly fridge shaped man but mainly because i always hate the most popular characters (see sans undertale, kokichi ouma) and i can't even help it. it is also important to remember that this is not pianoforte and kristoph is still a massive bitch. basically bro was getting to big for his britches and wrightworth beat him to it. he totally would have done all his canon actions he just got got. he may in fact be worse than canon bc he would totally kill phoenix and miles personally just because he doesn't have a reputation to ruin!

anyway so kristoph gets disbarred and ends up as a violin/poker playing girlfailure. he's slightly different in that his and klavier's relationship is actually okay, as in not as manipulative (you can take the man out of the murder but not the murder out of the man) and there's no power imbalance because they’re both equally unemployed. arguably klavier is less unemployed than kristoph. klavier's band was just starting to get somewhere when kristoph got disbarred and then klavier broke under all the stress and the band fell apart. so kristoph and klavier replace phoenix and trucy, respectively.

useful context: apollo works for phoenix's successful law business, wright & co! and is unfortunately still a bit of a kris fangirl! he coincidentally engages in a yap session with klavier gavin one nice evening. and then klavier gets a call from kristoph who's like "hi i just got arrested for murder" and klavier's like "well i just made friends with a defence attorney" and apollo's like "what". fast forward and they're in the detention centre and chaos ensues in the form of swap! turnabout thingymajig my ace attorney hyperfix is long gone and i remember 0 of the case names. turnabout kristophenactshisgrandrevenge part 1.

fyi klavier is apollo’s weirdgirl who happens to be friends with the main detective, daryan crescend. if i could still write you would get evil ema skye which yk. valid crashout tbh. also because i like franziska she's randomly the klavier in this situation and also has randomly picked up trucy as HER weirdgirl. they are slightly more normal and slightly stranger respectively.

the point is that you think phoenix is pulling the canonkris "trust guys i'm so nice omg a red flag?? must have been the wind" type shit for most of the plot. until kristoph (probably) turns around and goes "HEY. you know who had legal power in ye olde days of 2019. because it's not underpaid defence attorney number three NOOO have you met his evil boyfriend" in which miles edgeworth regains some of the cunt that his fridge shouldered ass definitely needed. and no i cannot hate on him for being ugly i like kristoph and his acid yellow hair but i will anyway.

in a slightly shorter fashion kristoph was still some classist pretentious corrupt little bitch before he accidentally became the proletariat. very much the man (?) we all know and hate in canon. so he posed a threat to the Integrity Of The Law but also to both phoenix and miles so they were like "hmmm. unfortunately he's too much of a loser for a criminal record. let's fix that" and then weaponised his homosexual tendencies by being really nice to him or something LOOK I HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT AND I NEVER WILL. also like beanix he knows what's up and he's much much meaner about it.

kristoph has entered his i don't give a fuck about the economy or your feelings i just want revenge a la starkid's (cinder)ella (if you don't know she wants to kill everyone who wronged her). also he has the attitude that one (1) person can be mean to klavier and that is him. clearing his name isn't enough, he very much wants to fuck everyone over to the greatest possible extent. he is not too bothered about becoming a lawyer again. also he has stopped pretending to have any semblance of fashion sense and i love that for him.

he is also accident-prone as anything. he fights the police in turnabout trump and almost breaks his nose. he intermittently gets ragdolled by miles edgeworth which is arguably the most unfortunate life event he faces. he gets hit by a car in turnabout corner. he gets shot at some point during serenade. he tries to stab miles and gives himself a glass cut in the process. he has a whole laughing fit in succession and reveals himself to still be a manipulative little bitch. some kind of monologue on greater good and wrong things for the right reasons required.

apollo punches him.

actually i think he and apollo have serious beef due to one of them being a cryptic asshole and the other one being some guy who's just trying to live his life.

when asked about perjury, kristoph basically goes "lmfao. why do you think i was disbarred. idiot"

phoenix like "how much do you know" and kristoph like "oh i know that you like men if that's what you're asking. i'm not interested though"

kristoph has a lowkey perceive type beat going on with crime scenes rather than people; i call it paranoia. he notices evidence and details that others don't. eventually he learns to transfer this to people and becomes a menace.

yeah.

my thoughts on not being able to watch the final ep of the Sign today

✨ but only in Michael Scott gifs ���

trying to convince myself it's no big deal:

admitting to myself that ok, i might care just a lil bit:

deciding to go through the tumblr tag anyways:

seeing posts from other people that also haven't have seen the final ep yet (i love you guys):

seeing posts from people that have already seen the final ep (i hate you guys):

omw to rewatch the Pit babe final ep just to feel something other than sorry for myself:

in conclusion:

other The sign posts <3

[wayfayrr]

Yeah I’m very confused as to what that anon was trying to accomplish? There’s a handful of tags I check a lot and can’t find new stuff uploaded bc I check them so often lol. So I’m always excited when I see something new. And if I don’t like the new thing I just continue scrolling. Is it that hard to just scroll? Like we can’t have everyone like us we can have everyone like r writing, so just don’t read? Sorry, just really don’t understand their point. I like ur stuff.

Also, for a long time I didn’t like yandere characters but u do well and just recently I’ve started liking them more. They’re interesting and funny sometimes lol. Anyway that’s it. Ur cool. Ik I sound sarcastic but I’m not trying to be, just not great w words lol.

The only thing I could possibly think of is shaming me into stopping posting? Which is incredibly petty ngl - why go after the person rather than yk just blocking them? and like you said the tag is pretty rarely updated so if they're so bothered by one writer putting a lot out they should just ask other writers for more lmao

also I get it!! yans most certainly aren't for everyone but I'm glad you're finding them fun!! I think there's a lot of things you can do with them that has them still stay true to their original selves which is why they can be so fun to write (also dw about the tone I promise you don't sound sarcastic dfgvdfvd)

[pangur-and-grim]

also I got a tattoo partially re-coloured today and they bandaged me in veterinary wrap like I'm a sick horse

[shadesofmauve]

I want to step away from the art-vs-artist side of the Gaiman issue for a bit, and talk about, well, the rest of it. Because those emotions you're feeling would be the same without the art; the art just adds another layer.

Source: I worked with a guy who turned out to be heavily involved in an international, multi-state sex-slavery/trafficking ring.

He was really nice.

Yeah.

It hits like a dumptruck of shit. You don't feel stable in your world anymore. How could someone you interacted with, liked, also be a truly horrible person? How could your judgement be that bad? How can real people, not stylized cartoon bogeymen, be actually doing this shit?

You have to sit with the fact that you couldn't, or probably couldn't, have known. You should have no guilt as part of this horror — but guilt is almost certainly part of that mess you're feeling, because our brains do this associative thing, and somehow "I liked [the version of] the guy [that I knew]", or his creations, becomes "I made a horrible mistake and should feel guilty."

You didn't, loves, you didn't.

We're human, and we can only go by the information we have. And the information we have is only the smallest glimpse into someone else's life.

I didn't work closely with the guy I knew at work, but we chatted. He wasn't just nice; he was one of the only people outside my tiny department who seemed genuinely nice in a workplace that was rapidly becoming incredibly toxic. He loaned me a bike trainer. Occasionally he'd see me at the bus stop and give me a lift home.

Yup. I was a young woman in my twenties and rode in this guy's car. More than once.

When I tell this story that part usually makes people gasp. "You must feel so scared about what could have happened to you!" "You're so lucky nothing happened!"

No, that's not how it worked. I was never in danger. This guy targeted Korean women with little-to-no English who were coerced and powerless. A white, fluent, US citizen coworker wasn't a potential victim. I got to be a person, not prey.

Y'know that little warning bell that goes off, when you're around someone who might be a danger to you? That animal sense that says "Something is off here, watch out"?

Yeah, that doesn't ping if the preferred prey isn't around.

That's what rattled me the most about this. I liked to think of myself as willing to stand up for people with less power than me. I worked with Japanese exchange students in college and put myself bodily between them and creeps, and I sure as hell got that little alarm when some asian-schoolgirl fetishist schmoozed on them. But we were all there.

I had to learn that the alarm won't go off when the hunter isn't hunting. That it's not the solid indicator I might've thought it was. That sometimes this is what the privilege of not being prey does; it completely masks your ability to detect the horrors that are going on.

A lot of people point out that 'people like that' have amazing charisma and ability to lie and manipulate, and that's true. Anyone who's gotten away with this shit for decades is going to be way smoother than the pathetic little hangers-on I dealt with in university. But it's not just that. I seriously, deeply believe that he saw me as a person, and he did not extend personhood to his victims. We didn't have a fake coworker relationship. We had a real one. And just like I don't know the ins-and-outs of most of my coworkers lives, I had no idea that what he did on his down time was perpetrate horrors.

I know this is getting off the topic, but it's so very important. Especially as a message to cis guys: please understand that you won't recognize a creep the way you might think you will. If you're not the preferred prey, the hind-brain alarm won't go off. You have to listen to victims, not your gut feeling that the person seems perfectly nice and normal. It doesn't mean there's never a false accusation, but face the fact that it's usually real, and you don't have enough information to say otherwise.

So, yeah. It fucking sucks. Writing about this twists my insides into tense knots, and it was almost a decade ago. I was never in danger. No one I knew was hurt!

Just countless, powerless women, horrifically abused by someone who was nice to me.

You don't trust your own judgement quite the same way, after. And as utterly shitty as it is, as twisted up and unstead-in-the-world as I felt the day I found out — I don't actually think that's a bad thing.

I think we all need to question our own judgement. It makes us better people.

I don't see villains around every corner just because I knew one, once. But I do own the fact that I can't know, really know, about anyone except those closest to me. They have their own full lives. They'll go from the pinnacles of kindness to the depths of depravity — and I won't know.

It's not a failing. It's just being human. Something to remember before you slap labels on people, before you condemn them or idolize them. Think about how much you can't know, and how flawed our judgement always is.

Grieve for victims, and the feeling of betrayal. But maybe let yourself off the hook, and be a bit slower to skewer others on it.

hero/villain showdown but one of them has a spontaneous medical emergency and the battle gets put on hold while their archnemesis drives them to Urgent Care

I'm still processing 7-13, in the meantime have this super quick thing! of all the things that happened that I didn't expect, one of 'em certainly was a not insignificant subplot revolving around Silver unintentionally committing international mail fraud.
