#idk i feel like the aesthetic blog space happens to have a lot of that kinda stuff going on

[remma-demma]

just followed a bunch of mermaid aesthetic blogs plsssssss don't be terfs.....

[taffywabbit]

"why not just make your own website?"

with the announcement of cohost's death and amidst all the other tumultuous shit currently going on with social media as a concept (i am AMAZED twitter has survived this long given the circumstances), one suggestion that i've been hearing a lot is "we should just go back to the good old days of personal websites. let's all just make neocities pages!!"

(this is gonna be a long one sorry)

and like. idk! it's certainly something i've considered, i think it would be a fun thing to have, but it also feels like the equivalent of "capitalism sucks so let's all just run off into the woods and live in a cabin outside of society" to me. like it would be nice, it would be fun, but it doesn't ultimately solve the actual problems that are present with the modern internet, it just evades them. more importantly in my case and many others, it does not really help people who rely on the modern internet and the connections they're able to make there for their income. sure i can make a website and host my art and blog posts there, but who's going to see it? i can't build a consistent audience and make a living off of random passersby who peek at my website once, say "huh, neat!" and MAYBE add it to an RSS feed or whatever if they really like it. there's minimal potential for meeting and impressing new people outside my existing circles if i don't ALSO still have some manner of social media platform to promote the website on.

a lot of the "solutions" i see people proposing for the slow, painful decline of social media as a user experience keep coming back to old-fashioned, more isolated/insular systems. we miss forums, we miss personal webpages, we miss newsletters, etc etc. but like... those things were ideal in the "old web" because the old web was more about sharing hobbies and interests with whoever happened to pass by and check them out, and even just USING the internet was a niche hobby in and of itself for a lot of people. if you wanna be kinda cynical about it (and not unjustifiably so), web 2.0 is much more blatantly business-oriented, and its algorithms and carefully crafted UX's are primarily meant to funnel you towards viewing ads and spending money on products. looking at it that way, it sure does suck and Everything Was Better Before! but the modern web is ALSO more powerful than anything before it for just like. connecting people. spreading information and news. showing your art/music/writing/thoughts/etc to strangers who never knew you existed an hour ago. putting the tools to reach out to someone and tell them you think they're cool right there on the same website where their art is hosted, just a comment or a message away.

if you're able to avoid patterns of engagement-bait and obsessing over follower counts as a measure of self-worth (a big "if", i realize, but i view it like installing an adblocker - it's just kind of a basic prerequisite for modern internet safety and survival), a lot of these systems can genuinely be really positive and life-changing in ways that were simply not possible 20 years ago! almost all of my current closest friends are people I met through sharing our art on platforms like Twitter who were complete strangers at the time. all of the art clients that regularly pay my bills and support my work came from places like that too! the "social" part of "social media" is really what makes it ultimately worth keeping around in any form, and makes the pursuit of a Good social media platform still valuable.

there's a lot to love about the old web - its aesthetics, simplicity and freedom for personal expression - but every time someone says "just delete your socials and make a personal website" i am forced to confront the fact that i could never do what i currently do or be the person i am on the old web. if i was stuck hanging out in my own little space and only ever interacting with people who openly and loudly share my interests, i couldn't support myself with art full-time, i probably would never have met the kind and quiet strangers who are now my best friends and have made me who i am, and i'd just generally get a lot less insight into the vast range of experiences and perspectives that exist outside of my own. my life would be on a fundamentally different trajectory in countless ways without the advent of web 2.0.

and that's not to say "well twitter and facebook and tumblr all suck but you kinda still have to hand it to them" cuz you don't, obviously. they're corporations, and their job is to take the personalities and thoughts and art of the people who use their products and try to scrunch it all into something uninform and marketable that generates profit and pleases their shareholders. but like, you CAN still make a good thing out of them! these websites are tools just as much as geocities or myspace or IRC used to be. and the one thing these newer tools are pretty much all REALLY good at is discoverability. if you're just a hobbyist at the things you wanna share on the internet, then you likely don't have a lot of use for those tools, and perhaps you WOULD genuinely be happier just keeping a personal blog site or hanging out in private groupchats or sticking to specialized federated Mastodon instances or whatever. it just isn't feasible for me, and there are a LOT of people in my same situation. my entire industry of online freelance artists barely existed 20 years ago, and the web culture of that era is largely incompatible with my continued survival in the mid-2020s. i would LOVE to run off and live in the woods in concept, but all my survival skills are adapted for city living and i would just eat the wrong berry and die out there. i want- i NEED people to try and improve the spaces we're in, and support better forms of social media (like what cohost was trying and largely succeeding to do!) instead of just complaining that it all sucks, everything was better when we were kids, and digging ourselves little holes to hide in. much like all the other problems and frustrations and systemic issues of the world we live in, the modern web isn't going to go away if you just ignore it, so we may as well try to make it better for everyone.

anyways tl;dr i probably WILL make a neocities at some point. it could be fun, even if it doesn't help my career stability or whatever. but i do also need ALL THE SOCIAL PLATFORMS I USE FOR MY JOB TO STOP EXPLODING PRETTY PLEASE, and failing that, some actual half-decent alternatives that aren't going to fizzle out in a month would also be great thanks ✌

[uriekukistan]

Hi!! I saw the character ask thing and was wondering if you would answer for Megumi? :D Questions 1-15 (if you feel up to it)!! <3 I literally love him so much and ik from your blog that you do too ! :) (btw loving your itafushi week works!! 🖤)

hiii thank you for the ask and im glad youre loving my itafushi week fics :3 hope youre doing well !!

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

i looooveeee everything abt him tbh, but i think probably the thing that makes me the most fond of him is that he reminds me a lot of myself in the way he processes things and makes decisions, sorting them into good or bad

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

hmmm idk if it’s my top fav thing abt him but i love his technique and the way he uses it. especially the shadow inventory and when he stores himself in it? so cool. ig its more when he sets his mind to it, he’s crazy powerful. underrated fr.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

i cant say im a fan of the position he’s in but at the same time i appreciate the narrative choice. wouldn’t ask for things to change, i just wish he was suffering less.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

i’ve been writing him in a tokyo ghoul crossover fic recently if that counts

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

rn…avalanche by bring me the horizon

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

a lot tbh….lets go w we’re both more reserved, a bit avoidant, and keep our feelings hidden 88% of the time (the right person can see through)

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

i love when ppl show him as like. the type to subtly show he cares like acts of service type and then he acts like nothing happened. canon. to me.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

WHEN THEY HATE HIM FOR NO REASON & BLAME HIM FOR THE EVENTS OF JJK LIKE THATS SO WRONG & INCORRECT HES JUST A KID DOING HIS BEST AND MOST OF YHE PPL SHITTING ON HIM WOULDNT LAST TWO MINUTES AS HIM. or when they make mahoraga jokes that are just tasteless, midgumi, potential man, nah i’d give up….im in your walls

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

like. if i had to yeah. we both prefer our own space so it could probably work but it also might be a bit awkward. gonna go with if we were already friends before we became roommates, yes. if not, then no bc neither of us would ever speak, and you gotta be able to communicate w your roommates

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

yes, if there was a “facilitator” friend. like we need the local extrovert to get us to hang out first or we’d never even become acquainted

11. Would you date this character?

no. one he’s a minor two i dont like men like that

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

recently i have been writing abt bassist megumi, so im thinking he air guitars while he’s listening to music when hes alone in his room. or air drums maybe. won’t sing along out loud bc the walls are thin, but if he did, he’d have a nice voice.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

i think he would not use emojis or emoticons when texting but maybe he’d adopt the ‘:)’ bc yuuji kept asking if he was mad (gojo would also ask, but megumi’s not gonna change his habits for that). (￣^￣)ゞ but this is megumi

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

basic but color coordinated, baggy, no patterns, mostly darker colors (black, green, & blue - royal blue not navy). sweaters & jackets most of the time w jeans or just regular pants. he’s cold easily so wears this in the summer too. getting rid of his canon shoes and giving him vans or doc martens oxfords.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

ITAFUSHI <3333333333 I LOVE THEM SO MUCH its like. semi not normal but idc.

QUESTION:

if roxana prism went to hot topic what wouldshe get

(half joke?? idk i feel like she gets fake kinesuim earings there.)

Okay okay everybody shut up for a second, I have things to say about me, okay? Like ooc this is the person behind the blog. If you don't want to read my ramble about earrings just skip to the next paragraph where I will actually answer the ask. Okay? Okay. So I have an OBSESSION with earrings. I have close to 400 pairs of them. Most of them I've purchased from Etsy but I have some from Hot Topic, Etsy, Amazon, custom made ones, ones made by local artists, some are passed down to me from family and friends. I've bought them from Walmart, drug stores. Hell I even bought a pair from one of the islands I visited on my vacation and they are so pretty. I've paid $3 and I've paid $100 for earrings. I have earrings for all occasions. I LOVE EARRINGS! That being said; if Schell games put out a line of IEYTD earrings I would simply have NO CHOICE but to purchase them. And multiple copies of them just in case I broke them. I have worn earrings to the point they break before. So like... I have the mightiest of needs.

AS FOR WHAT YOU ACTUALLY ASKED ME

I like to believe that Roxana is just as much of a nerd as the rest of us and there are some fandoms she's in that she loves. I imagine she would use the excuse of Agent Phoenix wanting to go to Hot Topic to get in there because she's still in the low-key embarrassed stage of joining fandoms. But she wants that merch dammit.

I think she would really enjoy Funko pops. They're cute and are easy to display.

Also pins! (Okay this one is kind of about me as well because I also have a pin collection. Sue me.) She would probably like a lot of the very aesthetic looking pins. Unlike me she probably doesn't like the meme pins as much. She probably gets the really cute and aesthetic ones that would fit the vibe of whatever she's wearing. I don't think she would actually wear them though. I think she would like to display them.

This is actually a really hard question for me to answer because, I don't know what the hot topics are like where everyone else is from but where I'm from, every single one of them looks like they're going out of business. Even though I know they're not and a lot of them are moving to larger spaces because they make so much money, they never have anything on the shelves other than t-shirts. And let's be real, Roxana probably doesn't wear t-shirts with memes on them. They don't even have many band t-shirts anymore! What happened?! That was like their whole thing for a while! But if they had some earrings that look like kinesium she would probably buy it.

𖦹 ׂ 𓈒 ⋆ ۪ rules ₊˚⊹

Welcome to my "rules "! Please read them before requesting !! (back to -> NAVIGATION)

again, please make sure to read these rules before requesting :D

Let's start off with some basic rules & information; For now I will only write SFW scenarios/headcanons/blurbs ! I have thought about writing NSFW stuff & I'm open to the idea I guess, buttt I'm not all that great at writing normal SFW stuff yet so I can't imagine I'll be all that better with NSFW. For now try to keep it to only SFW stuff, I'm open to maybe writing slightly suggestive stuff though (like heated make out sessions or something like that)

In case I do end up eventually writing NSFW I will want anyone under 18 to please not interact with those. If I catch you I will block you.

Make sure to go look at my "characters I write for" before requesting in case you want me to write for a specific character / fandom

I will not write any NSFW for minor characters I have listed (examples: Hitoshi Shinso, Shoto Todoroki, Chuuya & Dazai when they were like 15 or something, etc.). I might write the occasional make out session but not much else because why. Any NSFW for those characters will be them once their adults (so like for the mha boys it'll be either in their last year, which is pushing it, or when they graduate U.A and become pro heroes. Meanwhile for Chuuya & Dazai it'll be during the current time line where they are 22 or maybe the dark era where they are 18, idk)

I don't do female readers so don't ask about that, only male or gender neutral readers. Any female reader is still free to read & interact though (hell, you can probably even see yourself in the gender neutral readers if you want since I wanna try to make them for everyone). I know a lot of blogs with male and/or gender neutral readers only get pissy with female readers being there & I semi get it, but I could also careless. So as long as no one is being mean or wired I don't care who interacts with my stuff (unless it's minors trying to interact with my, potential, NSFW shit- ew stinkys, your internet access is getting revoked >:( )

Don't feel bad or take it personally if I don't write for one of your request. I have nothing against you. Maybe I just didn't have any ideas for it, maybe I felt uncomfortable with the request, I might be busy or in one of my mods of not wanting to talk to people & only playing games or spaceing out OR maybe I just didn't feel the vibes, idk. It might also just sit there though until I actually get an idea for it, so maybe one day you'll see it, but don't get your hopes up

Rules will be updated if need be !!

[🪻|| I will only write for male & gender neutral readers !! This is mainly because I see a lot of stuff for female readers out there already + I'm not all that good at writing female readers (or female characters in general-)

[ 🌌 || Mentions of sex or other mature stuff like that in passing(?) like implying it happened or whatever + slightly suggestive shit like heated make out sessions like I've mentioned

[🪻|| Most things I haven't mentioned in my "will not" section I guess

ehh,,, might do

key ;; sfw🪻 nsfw 🌌

[🪻|| Readers with specifics, like I might make a few expectations when I feel like it but for the most part I might not do them, especially ones with a specific race/ethnicity or disorder. I don't wanna accidentally portray it wrong but I'm lazy and don't wanna do all that research so I'ma just avoid it all together- I will probably do like maybe readers with insomnia or something though (cause I have it jehdhej) or maybe certain fashion aesthetics. No promises though

[ 🌌 || This is a big maybe but dom readers, I'm still not sure if I'll do them but hey that's why their in the "maybe" section after all. The closest I might get to this is a switch reader or power bottom, idk

[🪻/ 🌌 ?? || Non-sexual mature stuff like; blood, violence, slight gore (this is a big maybe), mentions of self harm, etc.

[🪻|| Yanderes?? I'm not the biggest fan of them so maybe not tbh, but like maybe hints to it or just a very fluffy water down version of a yandere in a sense?? Idk ufufg

won't do !!

key ;; sfw🪻 nsfw 🌌

[🪻|| Female readers

[🪻|| Pregnant reader or reader adopting/having a kid in general or like family headcanons

[🪻|| Platonic stuff (this technically should be in "maybe" section but it's so much of a "i won't" possibility that I'm putting it here), the reason being I don't care to much about writing platonic stuff. Sorry (not sorry-) to all of you out there who are tired of lovey dovey shit or just don't care for/dislike love but I love it !!

[ 🌌 || Wired kink/fetish shit like; scat, piss, age play, sexualization of littles, etc.

[🪻/ 🌌 || Stuff that is just outwrite illegal or that makes me uncomfortable.

Salty Mun Meme @thefvrious said: 1, 4, 7, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 Note: I'll put these behind a cut since not everyone will probably want to read the salt haha

What’s the worst role playing experience you’ve had? Look I'll be honest, having been in the tumblr rpc for over a decade, I've had a fair few. One of the worst would have to be a mun (A) who was massively jealous of my friendship with a mutual friend of ours (B) because she had a crush on her. Apparently A thought my friendship was getting in the way of her chances with B or something, idk but A messaged me accusing me of mistreating B and causing her to develop depression and that I was to never speak to B again or she'd report me for harassment. I spoke to B about this and she said that it was all lies and that I had done nothing to cause her any issues, but it was enough for me to walk away from that friendship. Nothing is worth that kind of stress.

4. What are some things you are tired of seeing in the RPing community? Ho boy, there's plenty hahaha but one would definitely be the overreliance on formatting. Some formatting here and there is not an issue and if it makes you feel happy then go for it. But randomly bolding/italicising/striking out words for no reason and putting a billion spaces between every word and dropping random words because 'aesthetic' is just really not my thing. It just makes it hard to read people's replies, and in a hobby that is entirely based around reading and writing, that kind of feels like it defeats the purpose to me.

7. Things that you will not tolerate? People who blatantly don't read my rules and/or muse bios (or do but choose to ignore things because it suits them). It's an instant block from me, sorry.

15. What is your biggest pet peeve? There are several, but one of them would be people who scream from the rooftops about certain muses getting ignored (females or ocs) but the same people simultaneously then ignore other females or ocs. Hypocrisy at its finest.

16. How much does it take for you to get angry/upset? How long does it usually last? It depends on the situation, who it is that is involved, and also what's going on in my real life at the time, really. Sometimes I can tolerate a lot and can just let it slide, but sometimes things hit harder.

17. Something that you find unforgivable? Using someone to gain popularity and then dropping them the second they have fulfilled their usefulness. Sadly, something that happened to me in the rpc many years ago. Also, funnily enough this is behaviour from the same person, but people who go around after a friendship has ended and tell other rpers lies about you to try and stifle your potential interactions. It's just childish and pathetic behaviour.

18. Have you ever felt like something off about someone? Does this mean like... your gut is telling you that something is off about them? If so, yeah there's been many times where I've had someone come to me for plotting and instantly, I just have this gut feeling that they either haven't read my rules or that they are planning to suggest a plot that blatantly disregards my limits/muse information. And every single time, I've been right.

20. Wild card: The mun discusses any situation/problem they want. I hate how some people have this idea in their head that just because they put effort into their muse, or just because they think that their oc is unique and well developed, that they are therefore automatically owed interactions or that people are obligated to give them a chance. Literally not a single one of us in this community is owed interactions or chances, it doesn't matter how much effort we've put into our blogs. It sucks, sure, but this whole "I put effort in and get ignored, this is proof that ocs are hated" is just BS in my opinion.

[actofmacabre]

02.13.24

i'm not too sure if i'll stick with this, if it goes nowhere i can always leave or hold the account. i've always been told i should make a blog, somewhere i can release everything i've been thru and everything i wanna say. it's super fucking corny.

i admit that i do have a lot to say in my head, and i am open that i talk to myself a lot more than others. i tried journaling physically, but who the fuck has time to sit down and write like that? i suppose typing it is no different, but at least with typing it and keeping it somewhere i can feel more obligated or motivated to keep it up. i definitely need to journal, to have a space where i can be completely and authentically me and still, for right now, anonymous. it's ironic seeing it typed out, wanting to be authentic but anonymous. sometimes anonymity is comforting, because i can be authentic because no one knows who i am. meaning that no one can judge me as i am but just as someone on the internet. idk, it makes more sense in my head. i don't think i'll stay anonymous on here forever (if i even stick around here), but i think for now i can try and get into the flow of things and see where it goes. i doubt anyone will see what i'm yapping about, but i can only hope that someone reads my garbage and feels less alone. maybe even ask a question or two. i love talking to people, but in person i worry that i'll freak them out with my word vomiting. maybe i'm thinking too far ahead.

anyways, i wanna make it a goal to write at least once a day. about whatever's on my mind or whatever happened. a weird public diary. i'll probably try out some photography stuff because i do like taking pictures and they help me. i'll keep the blog within my aesthetic too, so it's not entirely my blabbering. i hope i can keep up with it.

mood: lethargic

[thechekhov]

Alright, alright, I caved.

After a slot opened up in me to be able to take on another show emotionally, I decided to invest in OwlHouse. I thought I would probably like it, but it won me over faster than I thought it would.

I’ve already watched a few episodes, but I realized that it might be more fun to do liveblogs, so here I am - with a liveblog...

I will be doing this episode by episode, and probably releasing them every once in a while. Everything will be under a cut, however, to save you all dash space.

If you’d like to follow, please track the #chekhov watches owlhouse tag!

(I’d also like to dedicate this post to the Tumblr Staff Rob, who did his best to restore this post for me when tumblr queue ate it.)

Without further ado...

Episode 1!!

Fair warning - this is technically not a ‘live’ blog, because I have already watched some of the show before deciding to do this, but I’ll still react to them to round things out.

Immediately, this reminds me of Little Witch Academia... Anyone? No? Only me? I feel like maybe I’m getting my wires crossed, but there HAD to have been some inspiration taken from there?

“No-- my only weakness! Dying!!“

Same, big snake monster. Same.

Oh, backup snakes? This girl is READY.

Please don’t mistreat the snakes.

Spider breath... This kid is on my wavelength. That griffin seems to be waiting to be put out of its misery though, and I don’t blame it.

My child... where did you get that pigeon head though.....

Nurse mother, do you REALLY think signing up your spider-summoning daughter for summer camp will actively make her antics slow down instead of ramp up to 60?

Awww, baby makes AMVs... But also, NO ONE TOLD YOU TO THROW AWAY THE BOOK??? I know it’s symbolic, but goodness, isn’t that a bit much???

wait a sec, is that Eda????

Love the realistic bilingual kid experience of replying in English when your mom talks to you in your native language. Universal.

Love this introduction of Eda’s character. She’s got that little green scarf on and everything. Like a tiny trash grandma.

Oooh, okay, let’s extrapolate...

Lots of bones everywhere. I kinda love the aesthetic here - it’s gross and visceral, kind of like what Luz was making with her school projects. Yet in the middle of it all we have a rather clear gothic looking structure. Is this a power imbalance in the supposed kingdom?

The five circles of stained glass seem to perhaps indicate something like Hogwarts houses? Several different types of magic?

But Luz has no reason to freak out as much as she is - she LOVES weird stuff! Haha... No, I kid, I kid. I get it.

“Am I in the bad place?“

Eyyyyy, gotta love shows referencing other shows. :)

“Oh dear child... I’m not like you.”

Wow, what a DRAMATIC reveal for some pointy ears. :) I love her.

We should all aspire to have such cool and stylistically well put together wanted posters. You can tell the commissioned artist really respects her craft.

Steven Universe fans watching this:

I’m looking too.

Okay, okay, enough shenanigans, let’s have some LORE.

I love this landscape. Teeth or bones, or whatever they are, this is one of the more unique settings we’ve gotten, though maybe I’m prejudiced because I love body horror and bones. The darker orange and red themes fit really well here.

Things I’m desperate for: Giraffe Lore 

Things I’m more desperate for: Eda lore. Why do her limbs fall off? Is she a zombie?

Things I’m not quite as desperate for: Hooty lore. He can keep that to himself.

well hello there mysterious chekhov’s glyph which will DEFINITELY not be relevant in the second chapter (or end of season? Maybe? Idk it just seems important).

Ah, yes. That would have been my reaction as well, to be fair. Somehow I didn’t expect to see this guy so early on. I figured he would be a low stress early villain that got assimilated into the Found Family. Kinda psyched that he’s just there from the start.

....I’m just gonna presume this is all true and accept it at face value.

Old Escape The Cops Lady and Tiny Little Demon King, I need your backstory. How did you meet.

I love looking at background details, because like... you can tell the BG artists had fun. I particularly love how the 3 eyed toad doesn’t actually have any reward attached to her. Though the Knife Baby does intrigue me!

“I write fanfics of food falling in love.”

Why am I being called out...

“Noo! My weak nerd arms!”

Finally, a realistic portrayal of a protagonist thrust into a fantasy setting!

.....................

Okay but. If only humans could pass through the barrier... wouldn’t that mean a human had to have deposited those things in there? Do they have a human on staff in this weird pseudo-prison??? Suspicious....

Confession - when I initially saw ads for this show, I expected Eda to be a villain, not a loveable middle aged witch aunt figure. I am shockingly even MORE drawn to her this way. I expected betrayal. I expected her to be a lowkey threat?? But no. She’s just wholesome in the way a solid raccoon is.

“Eda, are you okay?!”

“Yeah, this just happens when you get older...”

“........does it..?”

If I had to pinpoint the exact moment this show won me over...... it would probably be this one.

I know it’s probably the wrong thing to focus on, but what is that insignia? Wings??? Like.... the kind OWLS HAVE?????

COINCIDENCE??? I THINK NOT!!!

I’m really loving the landscape here. And those fireworks are... hmm... intricate?

Gotta love the old tried and true Witch Apprentice Actually A Live In Intern trope. :)

Hold up...

Is that

Is that Hooty? I thought he was just a door....

Eda: This is my room for human stuff. I will also put my human in there.

. . .

Overall rating: I think this is a cute overall beginning. The prison break went hard! I enjoyed the characters and it kind of surprised me in a lot of ways. It definitely does a great job setting up a world with a lot more to explore while giving us a small taste of cool magic stuff and witchy battles. :)

Now on to Episode 2!!

Read the liveblogs in order by clicking here!

[icaruskey]

on your post about this weird uptick in forcefem memes (usually from radfems, exclus or exclus leaning people) i think what makes me uncomfy with it is how non consensually these people go about it? (especially since due to them going "uwu we're justd oing this to give advice to men on how to be valid uwu" thus maknig them not tag it as nsft even when it has an nsft undertone going on.) i care less about the fact that people have those kinks. and moreso that it's heavily implied that men in those communities have to do this. to prove that they're good men. otherwise they're still evil and misogynistic conservatives if they don't and especially how often this is directed specifically at trans men and transmascs more than cis men. it just feels like it's intended to be woke detransitioning encouragement from a lot of the blogs that do that. 6o6 who falls under exclus did this too. many bloggers pointed out how that's not progressive to say about all trans men. and 6o6 made it very clear that they think all trans men should become feminine as well and doubled down on the post's bad implications. i wish these people would understand that coerced kink shit is bad even in the name of their so called leftism takes. (btw no one go after 606 over this. just block them if this opinion of theirs i'm referencing offends you. i'm just giving this as an example of how radfems and exclus keep pushing forcefem fetish mining onto men in their spaces as the only valid way for them to be male radfems or male exclus/.) I call it coerced kink cuz despite how anti kink radfems and exclus are. i feel like they manage to find roundabout ways to voice their kinks in the format of posts like these. they think it's worse to be honest and vocal about having these kinks even in a consensual kinkplay scenario. so instead they have to disguise it as them giving advice to men on how to be good men in radfem and exclus spaces. thus doing fetish mining in the process in the name of some leftist goal. because fetish mining done with leftist wording is better than consensual kink according to these people?? idk it just feels really weird to me especially with how often radfems and exclus do vore kink fetish mining and piss kink fetish mining as well as humiliation kink fetish mining. i think these people need to realize that it's impossible to stave off your internalized kinks you're trying to shame out of yourself in an aba therapy like manner essentially. cuz they'll keep finding ways to leak into your hot takes about what trustworthy men in a relationship should be like. especially with the high standard man hating bias that's very involved in takes like these. maybe i'm looking too deep into it but at the same time i can't help but wonder if that's why posts like that exist. especially when i've seen a lot of anti kink terfs/radfems lately (which exclus keep "reclaiming" their anti kink takes from btw, we see you you're not fooling anyone) claiming that just doing the sexual act non consensually that the kink is imitating is better than doing the consensual kinkplay procedure.

As someone with a forcefemme kink I don't think they even see this as a kink but rather as something that needs to happen because feminism has been touting men=bad, women=good and thus the correlating aesthetics also are bad/good in turn.

Idk, I feel like saying that "x has y kink" falls into "Putin hates gays because he's secretly gay/JKR hates trans people because she's secretly trans masc" category of can we not assume?

They may indeed have this fetish, but they've not allowed themselves to unpack what they do and don't find titillating and I feel it really narrows the field and forgets that some people just genuinely believe this is what needs to happen, regardless of how wet it makes their panties.

Tag the blogs you want to know, and don’t be a dick that’s it! Also, feel free to answer as vague or in-depth as you want. And if you don’t want to answer a question for any reason just don’t vibe with it! Skip it if you wanna! Also make sure you tag me and use #dagdagtheartisttag so I can see it!!!!!!!!

This is a bit long so i’m just gonna...

~Questions~

1.) Do you prefer to be referred to by your name or blog name? Both are fine! I don’t care much about what people refer to me as in general and have had someone on here call me lily once

2.) Where are you from? I won’t say exact, but I live in the middle of USA (I can’t wait to move-)

3.) Do you have pets? 👀 Yes! 3 dogs and 2 cats, tho only one cat is truly “mine”

4.) Tell us about your “dream”. uhh like where I want to be in life? what I want to do? um I’m still working on the exact job title, but I wish to do research at a natural history/science museum (sorta like archives or collections manager, but neither of those are quite right i think). Otherwise, I just hope to adopt and even foster kids cause my life would not be complete without little ones :3 (spouse/partner optional lol) 

5.) Aside from art, what are your hobbies? Randomly researching things that grasp my attention, games...lots of games, reading, watching tv, coloring (wait does that count as art-), uhhh spacing out

6. )Does anyone irl know about your blog? yeah, but mostly just know about, not like see my posts i guess

7.)Do you know anyone from your blog irl? not outside of just chatting on discord

8.) What are some fun facts about you? I’ve had some poems published before (it was with entering a poetry contest), I have surprisingly good balance, my brain is not properly awake/functioning until 10am which has led to me almost using soap as toothpaste a few times too many, I have a birthmark on my finger (bonus: it sorta changes color/how noticeable it is depending on how hot or cold I am lol, i call it a mini thermometer cause of this), apparently Lion King was my Disney movie obsession as a kid...oh and I have a certificate in cryptozoology lolz

9.) What’s your day job? i work as a private nanny/glorified babysitter (i don’t live with them or drive but work regular hours through week and as needed; even join the occasional vacation with them)

10.) Do you have a celebrity look alike? i don’t think so; a girl in high school once said I look like Cameron Diaz tho-

11.) What’s your aesthetic? for my blog I think it’s becoming like dark academia meets cottage core?? idk for myself...who knows

12.) What kind of artist are you? the tired kind lol

13.) How did you get into your form of art? if we’re looking at sims, uhhh well I just happened to learn about cc one day, then happened upon simblr, saw edits, and thought I’d give a try cause I can’t draw but I need a creative outlet so this worked for me

14.) What do you watch/listen/read/anything else while you create? if I do anything, its listen to music; music is generally random based on what I feel like but more recently its been 2d anime groups (idolish7, hypnosis mic, etc)

15.) What is your favorite of your own creations so far?  lets see...this, this, and this edit wise I think

16.) How would you describe your art style? idk chaos

17.) What is more satisfying to you coloring or outlining? coloring, I like coloring 

18.) What meme would you use to describe yourself?

19.) What character from any media form do you most identify with? oh gosh uhhhh there’s a few but I’ll say Iori and Sogo from Idolish7 since they come to mind first lol. Iori is a fellow aquarius who hides his interests and agonizes over past slipups even a year later, others have legit moved on but he’s still stuck on it (that was true moment I was like “omg you are aquarius” lol cause yeah meee). Sogo i heavily relate to as well cause he’s,,,very nice and hides his own feelings, putting others before himself (but when right buttons get pushed, he can be scary lol) so yeah, those two

20.) If you were on the run, what would you change your name to? I’ve never thought of this...no clue

21.) Have you ever or do you want to change blog names? I have changed names, yes; I used to be silverine-sims but after a time i didn’t ~vibe~ with it

22.) God forbid Tumblr decides to pull a MySpace and lets us have page songs, what song would you choose?  page songs like adding playlist to blog? i mean its possible already with bit of coding and I used to have one set up but uh one song huh? gosh um I guess Twisted Hearts by tasuku hatanaka; it was op for Moriarty the Patriot s2 and I’m pretty obsessed with it rn 

23.) Oh yeah, I’m still on the MySpace train and I’m starting discourse! Who’s your top 8? my brain refuses to think and rank; i have trouble with choices and that extends to favorites,,

24.) Did you understand those references or did you have to look them up? (I’m fully aware I’m ancient, but are you?) i know of myspace but otherwise i have no clue what all it entailed

25.) One last question; why are you like that? I grew up watching Secret Saturdays, He-Man, Teen Titans, Danny Phantom, and Spongebob idk what to tell ya ��\_(ツ)_/¯

Cat’s Definitive Ranking of Every ML Episode as of 4/22/21

Are you guys ready for this? I did the thing. You’re all welcome. Don’t ever ask me for anything again. You can watch me get progressively more unhinged in real time. 

Now, just to preface this, I did not give this too much thought. Most of these are just my gut feelings. I went through every episode and just made some snap judgments based off the lasting impressions I’ve been left with. These are my opinions. If you don’t like them, tough. And also I don’t care. Go spend 4 hours making your own damn ranking. And shut the hell up. Anyway, this is probably the longest post I’ve ever made, so I’m gonna put it all under a read more. Click on it if you have an hour to read it. Okay, here we go!

1.     Origins II- Good starting point for our heroes. Good establishment of canon ships and character dynamics. Umbrella scene literally stole my wallet. Cannot emphasis enough that I am whipped for the umbrella scene. I wrote a whole ass AU just to say how whipped I am for the umbrella scene. In the Rain will play at my wedding. Jk. Weddings are for suckers. But dammit if I don’t want these kids to get married. 10/10

2.     Origins I- Good introduction to lore. Good introduction to characters. Good establishment of status quoyo. Just good. 10/10

3.     Simon Says- Listen, I am nothing if not a shipper at heart. This episode just sparks joy. And the whole series almost ended when Gabriel almost jumped off the roof. I was really rooting for this one. This was the episode where I saw Ladrien and went yes, ma’am, I’ll have one of those. 10/10

4.     Evillustrator- Are you all surprised? Cat, the MC-skeptic ranked the pivotal MC episode so highly? Well, let me tell you all a thing, I started this fandom out a MC shipper because of this episode. Their first interaction is gold. I don’t deny that. I enjoy it. This is the MC dynamic I fell in love with. Yall toxic shippers ruined MC for me when you opened your mouths and spat in the face of Ladrien and baselessly declared MC the sin-ship. We all know it’s Ladrien. Stop kidding yourselves. Boy in leather catsuit? Please. Basic ass vanilla bitches. I’m getting off-topic. Solid episode 10/10. We love to see it.

5.     Stormy Weather- Baby’s first Miraculous episode. It holds a special place in my heart. It’s a solid episode. Good establishment of what the show is. Fun villain. Good times. Fond memories. 10/10

6.     Riposte- Listen, I know I’m an Adrinette stan, but hear me out: Ladrien. It’s just so good. And Kagami was compelling in this episode. It was just really solid. It’s my favorite s2 episode. If you ask me if I want to rewatch Riposte, the answer is always yes. 10/10. We stan.

7.     Gorizilla- Okay, so this episode has some solid Adrinette in it, but the real reason it ranks so high is that fucking Ladrien trust fall. I stare at that scene for hours, you guys. HOURS. It is absolutely just *chefs kiss*. Sometimes when I need a pick-me-up, I just go watch gifs of that catch on loop. 10/10. Beautiful. Radiant. Carefree.

8.     Gang of Secrets- I have been keeping most of my opinions to myself about s4 (mostly because I’ve backed way the hell out of this fandom), but GoS was pretty solid. Gotta say, it’s the first episode in a long time with this show that made me actually excited to see what happens next. Most other episodes I was like, okay, that was cute. The show is still meh overall. But GoS really got me like oh shit, is ML good again? 10/10 for making me feel things again.

9.     Oblivio- Told you guys this one was probably rated higher than I thought. Oblivio is just really fun. There is good Adrinette. That “No wonder I fell in love with you” paired with the softest of Adrien smiles just sends me. And the kisses. The unquestionable trust. These two kids literally woke up together alone in an elevator with no memories and said welp, you’re my boyfriend/girlfriend obviously, I don’t make the rules. Honestly, how anyone could argue that these two dorks aren’t made for each other after that episode is beyond me. 9/10

10.  Backwarder- Okay, I know I am weird and alone for this one, but I really liked this episode. It got a lot of shit for the constipation capsule thing at the end, but like who cares? We finally got some more backstory on Fu. He got a love-interest who is dope as hell. This episode is my favorite lucky charm use ever. Like that queen DID that. I like Backwarder, guys! Fuck off. 9/10.

11.  Kwamibuster- We all know I am a Marinette-stan by this point, but our girl was SHINING this episode. This bitch said gimme all them and let me go whoop this bitch’s ass, and she DID. Hawkmoth could never. Multimouse is a gift, and Marinette is a boss ass queen.  9/10

12.  Chat Blanc- Listen, this episode was very good. I enjoy the idea of my children being happy in another timeline somewhere very much. We got all 4 sides of the square in an episode. It’s just really solid. I know this is the fandom’s favorite, and everyone is gonna shit their pants because it didn’t make my top 10, but this is my list. So, I put it at number 12. It’s good. I like it. It just didn’t steal my wallet like other episodes did. Put the pitchforks down. It’s gonna be okay, you can still love it more than me. 8/10

13.  New York Special- I know everyone felt some type of way about this special, but I wasn’t mad at it. My perception of it might be clouded because I watched it in Disney World where I was chilling and having a great time, but like this special really did somethings for me. The Adrinette was top tier. Tippy top tier. Even though they hurt us in the end, I am okay with it because it just means the children will grow and come out stronger. I don’t care if it’s not technically canon. Ask me if I give a fuck. I don’t. I had fun here. 8/10. Solid.

14.  The Collector- This one might shock a lot of you, but let me paint you a scene. It’s the first episode of s2. We have just come off a 2 year hiatus. The fandom is thriving. We’re hungry for canon content. We have hopes and dreams and expectations. Everyone is going wild with theories. This episode confirmed something that was long since obvious (in my opinion) and ended the stupid arguments people had been having. It made Gabriel actually seem semi-competent. We got our first taste of how Chat/Adrien will react to his dad being Hawkmoth. We got a peek at their life. Adrien’s isolation and sadness. They were so close to figuring it out. The battle was epic. Like Collector really had them on the ropes there for a second. It’s a solid episode, yall. I’m not wrong. Hate me all you want, but this episode brought it. 8/10

15.  Despair Bear- Is this episode up this high because of the Adrinette slow dance scene? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT IS. Okay, but fr though, shipping aside, this episode gave us hope that Chloe was actually gonna redeem herself. I mean, she didn’t but, we didn’t know that at the time. Seeing her run around trying to be nice was fun. And then she actually did something good, and we had a moment of okay, she’s capable. We’ll get there. We didn’t. But what a ride this episode was for making us think she would. 8/10

16.  Startrain- Cat, you’re just ranking all the Adrinette episodes highest. And? What of it? Are you surprised? You clicked a blog that has simping for Adrinette in the description, and you’re surprised all my favorite episodes have Adrinette? I’m not wrong, you’re just an idiot. The Adrinette nap cuddles aside though, this was a pretty good episode. If you don’t think too hard about the whole space thing, we got a look at Max’s life, his mom is a driven, smart lady doing her best. Adrien rebels against papa for once. Alya stops a Lila scheme. Chloe gets to play the hero. Alya and Nino actually investigate like the heroes they are. Gabriel gets to realize what a dumbass bitch he is. I mean. Guys. Startrain is solid. 7.5/10

17.  Sapotis- This one shot up in rank for me after GoS, but tbh it’s always been a solid episode. Alyanette sleepover? Check. Alya becoming a superhero? Check. It’s a fun episode. And looking back, it’s nicely called back to later in GoS. We love it. 7.5/10

18.  Sandboy- Idk why I enjoy this episode as much as I do, but I do. Sandboy is a cute bean. I love his aesthetic. We also get hilarious looks at everyone’s nightmares. “Plagg, who turned you into a sock?” cracks me up cause like Adrien, bby, no XD And Chat Noir’s nightmare. I think it would have been interesting though if since Sandboy dusted the Agreste mansion, if we got a peek at Hawkmoth’s nightmares. It would have been a nice hint of plot to go along with Master Fu’s nightmare. Also Plagg giving the akuma the slip like the clever boy we know he is deep down? 7.5/10

19.  Furious Fu- If you guys haven’t realized by now that I love Fu, idk what you’re doing. Pay attention. I know that some people don’t like him, but I’m just gonna say it, you’re wrong. Fu took care of the Miracle Box for over 100 years, and this episode kind of gives some insight to what the Order was like. Very strict. Lots of rules. And ya know what, Fu said fuck the police, I’m gonna befriend these little magical demigods, and fuck off! Like what an absolute legend. I was really happy to see him living his best life, and that he and Marianne got married because it’s what he deserves. We love to see it. 7.5/10

20.  Gamer- People like to shit on Marinette in this episode, but like honestly, if I were in her shoes, I’d have probably done the same thing if I had the skill. Ain’t nothing wrong with a girl trying to spend time with the boy she likes. And Tom and Sabine being absolute shipping trash. I love them. And the awkward Adrinette. The introduction of the lucky charm that Adrien STILL carries. Wholesome. This was a good episode for their friendship, and we love to see it. 7.5/10

21.  Christmaster- Okay, I know a lot of people hated this episode when it aired, but I thought it was really funny? Everyone skidding around in the ice rink was hilarious. If you don’t take this episode seriously, it’s really fun. Chris is pretty cute, and damn right Ladybug is the best kid in the world. Idk. This episode is fun. I’m not mad at it. Sue me. 7.5/10

22.  Weredad- What? Another MC-heavy episode in Cat’s top 30? Listen, I don’t hate canon MC. The fans just annoy me. This episode was funny. The secondhand embarrassment and cringe was real. Plagg taunting Adrien because he knows the secret was great. Marinette being a self-saving queen was great. It’s a good episode. I like MC, you guys. I do. I swear! 7.5/10

23.  Miraculer- This episode was interesting to me, and I think it’s still a good development episode. For one, Sabrina finally got her own akuma episode named after her. Secondly, because it’s a big step for Chloe, just not in the way we expected. It totally makes sense that Chloe can’t have her Miraculous back because literally everyone knows her identity. Can’t argue that logic. And she is the first person to ever refuse to become akumatized, so like mad respect. I know a lot of people had high hopes for redeemed Chloe (myself included), but I think watching a character fall from revering someone to hating them is also an interesting path. The friends to enemies arc as it were. Idk. I liked this episode. It was an opportunity for Chloe to grow, even if she didn’t in the end, but we’ll talk about that later. 7.5/10

24.  Lady Wifi- I like Alya. I feel like I don’t say that much, and people make some assumptions because of MDCSP, but MDCSP is just a concept I wanted to explore. It doesn’t really reflect how I feel about any one character. Except maybe Lila. And Gabe. But every other spite fic I’ve written branching from Chameleon, the class has been fine. Alya has been fine. So, let it be known that I like Alya. Lady Wifi was a fun episode. Putting aside the fact that she thought Chloe was Ladybug for no reason, I like her akuma. I like the interactions we get with LadyNoir in this episode. After GoS, this episode gets a bit funnier. It’s solid. 7/10

25.  Dark Cupid- I don’t have much to say about this one. LadyNoir. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Send it. 7/10

26.  Volpina- So many things about this episode. It introduced a new antagonist who we didn’t exactly 100% know was going to be an antagonist at the time. This episode sparked a lot of fun fan theories for a while. Who was Lila? How was she going to shake things up? Not to mention this episode gave us a taste of plot and lore, and set up Marinette meeting Master Fu officially. Lots of intrigue sparked from this episode. And that LadyNoir door scene? OOOOOO 7/10

27.  Hearthunter- One word: Adrigaminette. This episode was so cute for them! I loved seeing them all goofing and running around together. Adrien and Kagami being absolutely in love with Marinette when her hair is down. They both love her, I don’t make the rules. Not to mention, Marinette takes a big step by letting her friends be happy without her. Kagami not wanting to hurt Marinette. The drama!! Gabriel being a messy ass bitch to his friends. It loses points for the abomination of an akuma, but overall, I wasn’t too mad at it. Yet. 7/10

28.  Glaciator- More MC in Cat’s top 30? It’s more likely than you think. Listen. Listen… Listen. MC is fine. This episode was the closest thing to fanfiction that we got. The balcony scene was really sweet. I was drinking the irony. We got introduced to Andre the icecream fraud. Andre the please just give me the flavor I asked for man. I could have done without Chat pouting, but the LadyNoir in the end was pretty good. I wish they’d done more with Ladybug’s feelings for Chat. Had her question herself a bit more after this one, but overall, it’s cute. 7/10

29.  Zombizou- A lot of people started hating Mlle. Bustier after this episode, and like I can kind of see it, if I squint, but I did not draw that same conclusion from this episode. Mlle. Bustier just wants good things for all of her students. They’re 14 ffs, she just wants to be a good influence on all of her students and wants them all to be successful. But go off, I guess? Plus, this episode was basically just a spoof on zombie apocalypse movies. We got so many things. Julerose, Myvan, DJWifi. Chloe actually showing some depth and emotion. LadyNoir. We won this episode, babes. Sorry you didn’t get the memo. 7/10

30.  Timetagger- Okay. This is the last episode in the ones that I’d venture to call “good.” Number 30. I enjoyed Timetagger. I know people have feelings about timey-wimey bullshit, and like I’m not gonna lie and say I’m thrilled with it either (I mean, I changed the rabbit’s power in MDCSP) but that being said, Timetagger was so sassy. Bunnix was cool as hell. We get to see that LB and CN are still doing the thing in the future. So many questions sparked from this episode. It was fun. Idk. I liked it. That’s all I got. 7/10

31.  Malediktator- Okay, from this point on, less comments because this is the section that are more or less just meh to me. Like they’re fine. This episode was fine. Chloe was fine. Chat playing with the laser was cute. 6.5/10

32.  Mayura- Adrien’s speech at the end. Nuff said 6.5/10

33.  Ikari Gozen- Ryuko/Ryuuko. Gals being pals. 6.5/10

34.  Reflekdoll- I talked about this earlier, but I don’t hate this episode. It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. Sue me. 6.5/10

35.  Anansi- Nino is the goodest boy. Also I need more of the gang taking Adrien on adventures via Facetime. Stat. 6.5/10

36.  Shanghai- This one is new, and tbh I still haven’t watched it with subs, but I had a good time. Fei was cute. The boy squad was cute. Adrien bonding with Great Uncle Cheng was cute. Hawkmoth getting literally dunked on was *chefs kiss* 6.5/10

37.  Gigantitan- I love overly supportive, ride-or-die girl squad. 6.5/10

38.  Party Crasher- Idk why this episode was funny to me. Kim is the purest bean. We don’t deserve him. 6.5/10

39.  Desperada- This episode was an emotional roller coaster, and even though we all collectively hate Aspik’s stupid egghead, we love the Ladrien this episode provided us. 6/10

40.  Oni-chan- Listen, I loved seeing Lila get a tiny bit of karma even if she made it up in the end. I loved Chat going off on her. I loved seeing her get outsmarted in the end. 6/10

41.  Frightningale- My good lesbian Clara Nightingale. We stan. 6/10

42.  Style Queen- I like Audrey in a “she’s the worst person I’ve ever met, I want to travel the world with her” kind of way. She’s funny to me. Idk. I love her firing everyone. She’s the one I love to hate. She’s the worst, but we love her for it. Plus this episode gave us Plagg’s adorable little Cataclysm that destroyed half the city. 6/10

43.  Gamer 2.0- Chat confidently strutting in heels made this episode worth it. And we get to see the beginning of Marinette being overwhelmed. Plus it was the return of gamer!nette. 6/10

44.  Troublemaker- I don’t hate this episode as much as the next person either. It was fine. Jagged is a manchild, but we love him for it. He’s a Marinette stan which like mood. The Adrinette at the end was cute. I wasn’t mad at it. Idk. It’s fine. 6/10

45.  Reflekta- Where are all my Juleka stans at? I loved the LadyNoir banter in this ep. V. cute. 6/10

46.  Dark Owl- This episode was fun. And it really shows their level of trust. Plus Plagg and Tikki interacted. 6/10

47.  Timebreaker- Have I ever mentioned that I like Alix? I like Alix. 6/10

48.  Silencer- I don’t hate this episode as much as you’d expect me to, and that is 100% because of the LadyNoir. 5.5/10

49.  Prime Queen- Chat purrs. 5.5/10

50.  Syren- I think the fish power-up is adorable. Ondine is a gem. Kim is a pure bean, but we been knew. 5.5/10

51.  Befana- I like Gina, but this episode fell flat for me. Almost as flat as the animation. 5.5/10

52.  Reverser- Another episode that everyone hates that I am actually fine with. This episode made me like Nathaniel more. Probably because I was previously indifferent toward him. Marc is cute too. 5.5/10

53.  Mr. Pigeon- Marinette is one clever girl. And the Adrinette hand-touch. 5.5/10

54.  Felix- Felix is a gremlin of chaos. A true chaotic neutral. He gives his uncle the finger, and I think that’s beautiful. 5.5/10

55.  Truth- Bet you expected this episode to be higher. While I did enjoy watching toxic people’s world crumble, this episode still gets a meh from me dog. 5/10

56.  Lies- The Adrigami was cute, and I respect Kagami as a character. The akuma could have been better tho. 5/10

57.  Princess Fragrance- Not much to say here. 5/10

58.  Copycat- 5/10

59.  Bubbler- 5/10

60.  Mime- 5/10

61.  Animan- 5/10

62.  Robostus- 5/10

63.  Ladybug- This episode ranks this low purely because I don’t care about GabeNath, and I hate that Lila won something in the end. But Adrien saying I won’t hesitate, bitch! At the end was nice to see. 5/10

64.  Catalyst- I know I ranked Mayura way higher, but Catalyst fell flat for me. Like it was fine. Wasn’t as into it though. 4.5/10

65.  Puppeteer- One of my favorite lucky charm uses. 4.5/10

66.  Pixelator- My favorite Cataclysm. 4.5/10

67.  Horrificator- That almost-Adrinette kiss tho 4.5/10

68.  Pharaoh- 4.5/10

69.  Kung Food- 4.5/10

70.  Rogercop- 4/10

71.  Guitar Villain- 4/10

72.  Dark Blade- 4/10

73.  Bakerix- 4/10

74.  Antibug- And now onto the bottom 10. To start us off, I will just say: UGH, this episode annoyed me. First of all, Sabrina didn’t even get her own episode. Chloe was a piece of shit. Idk why they made Ladybug the one in the wrong when Chloe was being obnoxious. Ugh. 3/10

75.  Captain Hardrock- I’m gonna be honest. My apathy for this episode has grown into loathing. Toxic stans are 100% to blame. Birthday ruining, bitches. This is the reason I threw a breakup bash after Truth. Yall deserved it. 3/10

76.  Christmas Special- I didn’t hate this episode as much as everyone, but it still wasn’t great. 2.5/10

77.  Stormy Weather 2.0- This episode was really dumb. It didn’t need to exist. 2.0/10

78.  Queen Wasp- Why did we give Chloe a Miraculous after this episode? 2/10

79.  Animaestro- Did we really need a self-insert? Did we really? 2/10

80.  Puppeteer 2.0- Listen, this episode would have made more sense in s1 or at the very latest early s2. Adrien gave a whole ass speech on how great Marinette is, then he turns around and is like idk if she likes me… Clean it up. 2/10

81.  Miracle Queen- I could talk at length about how much I hate the ending of this episode and what they did with Chloe and Master Fu, but we’re just going to remain calm and give it a solid 1.5/10

82.  Frozer- This episode made no goddamn sense. I call bullshit on so many things. Just ugh. 1/10

83.  Chameleon- Surprisingly, even though this episode sparked many, many spite fics out of me, it’s not my least favorite because at least Ladybug semi-redeemed this episode. Still really dumb and ooc tho. 1/10

84.  Feast- Okay, okay, okay, here we are. Bottom of the barrel. Cat’s most hated episode, and you wanna know why? You want to know why this episode fills me with the rage? Because we spent two fucking seasons building up all this mystery and lore and intrigue surrounding Fu’s big mistake, and they dropped the fucking ball! They did my mans so dirty! They could have really deepened his character, deepened the Order, deepened anything other than whatever fucking affair Gabriel and Nathalie have going on, but NO. They made it some stupid, bland-ass thing that got resolved magically in the end, then just ignored it for the rest of the season. I will never not be salty about how they did my boy Fu in this show. I’m happy he found his peace, but fuck if I’m not livid about how they did it. Whatever. Chat being done with Ladybug’s shit when they’re about to get eaten was funny I guess. .5/10

Umm… you know how a thing pops up saying “sent” or whatever? Well that happened now a few minutes after sending both asks. It didn’t appear the first time so I thought I had maybe cancelled it somehow. Then it didn’t appear the second time and I thought “guess Tumblr is being weird again” but the “sent” notification or whatever that is just appeared twice now so I guess both sent a few minutes later. This app and website really are the worst, why are we still here?

I mean I’m here because I like the ask format for my little blog. Like I like having an unfiltered voice and writing persona and I can’t do that on Twitter because my thoughts are never concise enough and I struggle with aesthetic ideas so Insta is hard too and I really really don’t have TikTok adjacent brain and get a bit shy and overthink the videos idk. I like the way people write in here and I reply and I like how I can organize it with the tags and stuff and I like the writing prompts rather than trying to like manage a daily Wordpress. Oh, also Tumblr is irrelevant ergo isn’t banned anywhere so I have theeeee most international community and I love that because fuck spaces that are completely US or UK dominated tbh. It makes me feel good lol 🤷🏻‍♀️ and it makes a lot of us feel part of a community/group project which I also like 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I only don’t feel good when people are cunts but 1) people are legitimately cuntier on the other platforms 2) I’m in my block delete era.

I dunno why the rest of you are here but those are my reasons.

Hello, to the void.

So I've been on tumblr since 2010. I just went back in my archive to the first ~year of my posts, where I used to be insanely active, and it made me a little bit nostalgic. I was regularly interacting with followers, made lots of friends with my mutuals (some that I'm still acquainted with today on other social media), and just having fun in general. I was about 16 then, I'm 27 now, and idk. Adulthood feels so fucking lonely. I don't ever meet new people, I work at a job that I hate, and all of my dreams have kinda died. I guess I just miss being able to share my thoughts somewhere, build relationships, and be creative. I also miss being a fucking fangirl in the space where fangirling truly began for me. So, I thought I would post here, just reaching out, and if any of my followers are still active or perhaps someone stumbles upon this, I wanted to introduce myself.

I'm Nicole :) 27, working a small corporate job, I have an apartment and a dog. I have been a fangirl over many things through my 11 years on tumblr - it started with Whose Line, and eventually evolved into Sherlock, which I believe is when I was the most active here. I made a second blog (which I still use every so often) because this main blog became an "aesthetic" blog where I tried to keep a wilderness/mountain girl/folksy vibe. I also have a rat blog where I used to post about my 7 rats that have since passed away due to old age, but I still check in over there as well. Honestly, I have a shit ton of side blogs (including a private diary that I tend to write in every few months to a year, spanning back to 2010) but a lot of them have died out, or I'm just saving the url's.

Currently, I am biggggg into BTS and kpop. This is my newest venture into fangirling and I'm having a ton of fun with it. I've been into it all for a little over a year now, and I haven't felt this much enthusiasm and happiness over an interest in a LONG time, like years. My main groups/artists are currently: BTS, SHINee (which includes their solo ventures, especially Taemin as he is my bias), and TWICE - but just because these are my main, doesn't mean I don't listen to a ton of kpop in general. I can only afford to collect BTS stuff (and I have bought a few SHINee/TWICE things as well) but I really love discovering new groups and indulging in tons of artists.

Anyway. There's that. I'm trying to be happy and exist shamelessly in my fangirling spaces, I just sometimes feel as though I'm speaking into a void. If anyone happens to see this post and is also lonely, feel free to reach out. If we have anything in common, I'd love to chat :) I'm just missing connecting anonymously with people over PURE shared interests. I also think that the pandemic and having 2 years of my life waste away in front of my eyes has made my brain literally rot, so if any of my writing seems disjointed, I'm so sorry.

Here's to maybe being more active. Here's to possibly being seen again.

Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

// hmm... let me think... these'll be in no particular order, but some of the things that bother me are...

1) trying to get into a new fandom is sometimes... very hard. Like, I get that people have their faves, and that's perfectly fine. But with anxiety and nervousness, and then you're trying to tiptoe quietly into a fandom space and they're all-- closed off? That may not be the right description, but it's like... everyone's mutuals only, which is fine, but you feel nervous as all hell following and then for them not to follow back? so you just... watch from afar and play with the partners you do have? IDK. part of it's--yes, anxiety--but I think there are fandoms that could be more welcoming to, IDK, 'outsiders'. New people.

2) the importance of aesthetic. Like, don't get me wrong, I love making icons, and headers, and everything. It's fun for me, but when people happen to care more about the look and aesthetic of a blog than the actual portrayal and/or writing it does? that's a little annoying.

3) always wanting money for things. This isn't a big one, and I get the reason why many do it, but you know, a lot of us don't have just extra funds lying around for pretty graphics and commissions, and again, that goes into #2 too--if you’re not one of those “quality” blogs with all the pretty graphics, then you’re not taken two looks at--and yet, if you don’t have PS or good at PS or what have you, then it’s like, the only way to get those fancy graphics is to pay... IDK.

hihi i just have a couple things i’d like to say hehehe don’t mind me (it’s not negative !! but i do briefly mention mental health and self harm but dw dw dw it’s ok i’m fine dw)

so like

i just checked my follower count for the first time all day and i’m suddenly 10 away from hitting a milestone i never really thought i’d get to.. which completely boggles my mind. i came to tumblr last may with the intention of keeping up with some kpop groups and saving aesthetic photos, which has somehow blossomed into a fanfic and editing blog on which i divulge my innermost feelings BUT PEOPLE LIKE IT FOR SOME REASON ?? like... that’s insane. this is insane. and i’m so fucking grateful for all the wonderful feedback i’ve gotten on my work, the people i’ve had the privilege of meeting, and the works i’ve gotten to see and support. i never would’ve thought this would become a place i’m so involved with. i have to stop phrasing it this way but it’s insane.

and then i recalled some of the inbox messages i got today. multiple people wished me a good day, someone complimented my carrd, someone sent me a really sweet tik tok, and a really sweet and adorable friend sent me a long message about how much i meant to them. and, once again, that’s insane. especially the ones coming from people i might never have even talked to. i honestly have no idea what i did to deserve such amazing little interactions. i’m honestly blown away sometimes at how accepting people here are of me. once again it boggles my mind.

i haven’t been doing very well recently. i’ve been having a lot of mental health issues for the past (more than a) few months, and this week has been really, really bad. i had some reoccurring thoughts i havent had in a while, and i’ve returned to a ‘coping’ mechanism that i haven’t used for a few weeks, which doesn’t feel too great. honestly, i’ve felt disappointed in myself. but when i look at all that happened today and how much this blog has grown i’m reminded of how much this place (though i hate tumblr’s GUTS) makes me feel like i belong somewhere...? if that makes sense? skz play a big part in that feeling for me as well, but i think that being on tumblr has truly been one of the most emotionally fulfilling things i’ve done. i know i kinda pour out my soul on here sometimes and reblog everything i see and i often feel guilty for it, but at the same time i feel so grateful that i’m allowed to use this space for things that will make me happy or relieve other less positive emotions. and the fact that people tolerate me, my ramblings, and my interests is just really fucking cool. you are really, really fucking cool. thank u for being here and thank u for letting me be here with you.

idk exactly what i’m trying to say but i’m just feeling really sappy and grateful so. yeah. i love u <3

When Tha’ Moon Hits Your Eye Like A Big’a Pizza Pie That’s’a Munday

🌸 = my roleplay petpeeve x6

Oh jeez let’s see... I don’t wanna list the obvious ones EVERYONE has but ... hm.

-- When someone gets upset over what my muse does, in that if my muse is mean to your muse or hurts your muse, someone takes that PERSONALLY and then gets upset with ME and gives me a cold shoulder after our muses have conflict. I GET being empathetic with your muses but you gotta remember no one is their muse no matter how much you project. Same with the other mun. You HAVE to be able to handle conflict with your muse... Take a step back if you gotta but good god please stop associating mun =/= muse for both yourself and other people.

-- The like ... 40x40 icons. Please these tiny tiny fucking icons are so hard to so bro. That and excessive like ... flowery formatting. And I mean this by people doing like triple spacing and have non-cohesive paragraphs and having like 5 different font styles in a paragraph. This doesn’t happen as often BUT I still see it and I just ... Please... It is so hard to see and read ...

-- There’s a difference between petty drama and genuine like... forewarning of toxic people. People seem so in their own bubble and just ‘i pretend i do not see it and if u try and make me I will block you’ when it comes to call out culture. Yeah sometimes it’s over dumb stuff but I hate feeling scared to rb a call out post for someone with receipts and multiple people warning this person is toxic and abusive and is like. idk a pro-sh*pper without worrying people will be like: callouts and drama on my dash ? blockt <3

-- When people just assume shit about my muses without like.. asking me about it. This has been a recent thing in another RPC with someone just having their own idea of my and my friend’s muses in their head and even when we are like: uh no they wouldn’t be like that they go, “well okay. anyway” continues to paint our muses that certain way and bubble. It’s like ... You don’t give a shit about what I write just that I am writing this muse. Please don’t just auto assume what people’s muses will be like, not everyone writes the same muse the same way man.

-- A LOT OF RP THEMES... JUST BANE OF MY EXISTENCE .... The people whose theme I have to spend like 10 minutes hovering around trying to find where the damn ask box is and where the rules are I just... SOMETIMES PEOPLE MAKE IT SO FUCKING HARD TO FIND AND TELL. And just so much hovering over boxes and pop up boxes and it’s so COMPLICATED to navigate sometimes. I know we get lost in the aesthetic but please come back home dinner is getting cold your father and I are worried about you you’re gonna get sick--

-- The abuse of the anon feature. This being either people sending hate or like ... ‘‘constructive’‘ criticism unasked. People trying to sexually or physically assault peoples muses. Trying to RP through the inbox to get passed ‘mutuals only’ blogs ... It’s fucking frustrating. On my duo muse hazbin blog I’ve had some weird anons coming @ stella and my alice blog also always had weird fetishy anons like. Anon isnt there for you babes. Sprays u with a water bottle.
