Having an insane elven duo moment (scar and Gem. They plague my mind.)
They are QPR to me.
My long ass rambles under the cut.
I'm thinking about my elven hair headcanon I made a post about a bit back where elves don't do their own hair but close friends, family members or partners do their hair. If an elf has unkempt hair that means they are lonely and don't have any close relationships.
I'm thinking about secret life and how Scar was all alone until the end. The fleeting alliance he had towards the end wasn't anything close to what Scar needs from an ally or a friend.
I'm thinking about Scars hair becoming more and more of a mess as the game goes on. I'm thinking about how he didn't die at the end of secret life and how in Martyns lore he gets stuck in secret life.
I'm thinking about Scar getting back on hermitcraft and Gem doing his hair. Washing his hair with warm water and a soft smelling shampoo and conditioner. Gem softly brushing out his hair and braiding it.
Scar breaking their silence after a while and apologizing for killing her at the end and for killing so many other people and for being a villain.
I'm thinking about Gem telling him it's alright, she knows it was the tasks. They all know. They all did bad stuff.
Thinking about Gem giving him a kiss on the cheek and wiping away his tears.
-
I'm thinking about Gem having a rough time after her first proper life game.
She had Scott and Impulse to do her hair over the course of the game. She had allies. But she can't shake the weird restlessness of being red. She can't shake the feeling of needing to kill someone.
Thinking about Gem trying to deal with everything on her own.
Scar eventually talks to her and he tells her it's gonna be hard. And if she needs she can always go to him.
Thinking about Scar washing her hair for the first time after the game is over.
Thinking about Gem being stiff and nervous and on edge. Scar doesn't blame her.
Thinking about Scar hugging Gem while they watch a movie.
I'm just thinking about them supporting each other after Secret life that's all.

Thinking about how even though Hawk got everything he wanted (or was told to want) the career, a wife and kids, money, success, he still ended up unfulfilled (“That sounds really empty.”) because he spent so long hiding himself in order to achieve success and keep himself safe.
Conversely, even though Tim had the safety of concealment where it concerned working in government ripped from him, essentially losing his career, and came out at a time when the social and political landscapes of America never ensured queer safety, and I’m sure, at certain points made his life harder, he still lived a life that was happy and fulfilled, for a lot of reasons, yes, but I’d argue mainly because he didn’t have to hide anymore
Obviously the two characters work romantically but narratively they also foil each other so interestingly and so WELL. Hawk got everything he wanted!!! It wasn’t enough!!!!!!!!!! Tim lost a lot!!! But he also stood up for something larger than himself and got to live his life openly!!! He didn’t have to hide! He was Happy!!!
#to the shows advantage as a period piece it doesn’t necessarily frame either of their lives as more right or wrong than the other#I think something it highlights really well is all the different ways queer people went about life during the different periods of history#which is something we don’t see enough of!!! it’s important history!!!#if you read this I applaud you <3#I have a lot of thoughts + feelings about this show#fellow travelers#hawkins fuller#tim laughlin

Ok so ep7 of iwtv s2. One of the notes i wrote down as i was watching was "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. nope. just nope. jesus fucking christ don't you dare do this" so you can imagine how i felt. Spoilers.
Ok ok. So I'm so fine rn you don't even know how fine I am. I didn't cry even though I expected to, I was more like empty, which might be even worse (read: better) lol
I'll start with a few quick thoughts, before I get into the bigger things. For the first like 10 minutes I couldn't stop thinking about how great Lestat (Sam) looks like im sorry. Him uncovering the homophobe's filth back at him? 10/10.
The actors are just so- perfect I have to say. Like we don't know what's true and I probably shouldn't believe anything just to be safe, but I found myself believing them everything. Also the whole time I wanted to hate the audience but they think it's just a play and if I, with all the other knowledge, find myself drawn to believe obvious lies, it's not really their fault that they do too.
Let's start with Lestat then. I was so glad to finally see the "real" (not really, even Sam said so) Lestat again
I haven't read the books (and even if i did i know that they change things) so idk how they made him testify because I just don't think he would. Maybe they tortured and forced him, "gave him a choice", maybe he was planning on saving them. Or maybe he just actually was out for vengeance i just don't know.
"You cannot script a hurricane" yeah you can't I loved that him going of script threw Santiago off so much, lmao (like he literally said "I'm about to violate the 5th law" aka kill Lestat I love that. Lestat is such a little shit.)
And when he went of script he told the truth (or as close to truth as we got during the trial i feel). Yes he also did break the laws. I like that he didn't let Santiago manipulate the audience to sympathize with him (don't get me wrong, it's not that he didn't want them to sympathize with him, he just wanted to manipulate them himself lol)
His and Louis' first eye contact (at around 11 minutes I believe) literally broke my heart.
When he talks about the loneliness I can't help but feel sorry for him.
I found it honestly hilarious when he was recounting their whole history backwards, like bitch please, it literally happened the other way arounf. Idk why it was just so funny how he was blatantly lying.
But then when they fully revisited the scenes from last season my jaw dropped.
So firstly Claudia's turning... I am so confused by it. Because it's obviously different from what we saw last time - and the scene itself is so moving. I mean Louis begging Lestat on his knees like he's some god and trying himself and failing and Lestat doing it for him even tho he knows it's a terrible idea. But the confusing part - in Dubai Louis rn says that Lestat's trial version is better than his and that he didn't want to believe it at the trial but now he knows it to be more true.
But like last season, so like 2 weeks ago, he told his own version?? Did he not realize until now, that he's talking about the trial, that he doesn't believe it? Did he lie on purpose but change his mind, is he lying now? Does Armand have to do something with it again? Tf is happening.
And then the fight. Again it's different but this time I remember that we didn't actually see this part of the fight so it could technically be true?? I don't really know rn how big of a part we didn't see last time. But maybe the truth about the fight is somewhere in the middle.
Amazing scene nonetheless, again, if I didn't know shit, I too would 100 % believe Lestat to be the victim. Up until the drop, that is extreme either way.
And Lestat going fully of script here, and his tears and his regret and his voice trembling and I'm sure that he means it. It wasn't a part of the performance. Sam Reid, the actor that he is, fuck.
It is just wo so great, like these new versions we get by Louis telling the story of Lestat showing him the story (which Louis already told us very differently) and on top of that anything could be misremembered. Or edited Armand. Unreliable narration at it's best.
Ok so Armand. "I could not prevent it" Fuck you. No sorry I might be a little harsh but yea no actually I'm not.
First the thing with Nicki and how he was "helped"... Armand got rid of him to have Lestat to himself and now he's doing the same with Claudia and Madeleine to have Louis.
Him having to watch is brutal and I believe his emotions but not his words. It was terrible to watch sure and painful and he didn't want it to happen... but he still sold them out?
He saves Louis. And it's amazing, the fear for his love in his face as he does it. He says it took all his strength and sure. But he could've saved them all. He can literally stop time. Ok maybe not but I for sure think he could've done it.
And rn in Dubai he's trying to convince himself or Louis or Daniel or maybe everyone that it wasn't his fault. But Daniel seems to not believe him (and calls his shit out a few times, good for him). And he's also making Lestat be more of a villain then he is I think (he would not do nothing when watching Claudia's death I'm sorry, that's his daughter.)
Claudia and Madeleine. My heart broke. They were doomed from the begginning. It didn't matter if they fought or not, it didn't matter their love or that they were right, it didn't matter that Madeleine was innocent and Claudia justified (maybe) in her crimes.
It didn't matter that Claudia was right -"We poisoned him, he's fine now. I can also cry and say I'm sorry"- because yes this was exactly true.
Claudia's final request (and Lestat giving it to her and then looking almost proud?? after she says it) and promise of death to all the people who doomed her and Madeleine.
And her rage. "It was never about me" and that's also true and yet she dies because of it. Tragic.
Madeleine's "My coven is Claudia" is just pure love and again it's what dooms her and again it's fucking tragic.
Watching the execution I couldn't breath really. Hurts still. And I don't believe Armand's version of the story though. Not that he tried but couldn't save them, not that Lestat didn't even try.
Louis, poor Louis. Living with guilt and sorrow isn't easy and he's living through it again now. And he can't even trust his own memories. I need him happy. He's not gonna be but I need him to be.
Also his live burial?? like fuck. That was vile. Like we know that he is fine now but still.
Previews. Santiago will die and if he doesn't I will kill him. Louis is a pyromaniac (yay), I'm ready for the whole coven to burn.
From the trailers we didn't yet see the bookshelves falling on Daniel so it has to be next episode. Also we didn't yet see the Loustat hug and I don't think it's what happens after the trial, especially not with Louis coming to kill Lestat, so that would mean it has to have happened later (Dubai maybe? I mean we do need Lestat's side of the story next season so we could get him now.)

Since we're talking about Grandfather Spider can we Girls please just take one single moment of the day to remember and think about his, "I am beyond angry with you, but I could never hate you." quote to Grandmother Raven please. Please. Please can we do that? I will become sick as fuck if someone doesn't acknowledge this with me
#that was one of the most powerful fucking things ive ever personally read#can we please applaud the emotional maturity and intelligence on spider's part here please. to be able to tell and admit the difference-#-between feelings of anger and resentment and flat out hate#there's like not even really a word spider could find that could sum up all his negative feelings other than 'anger'. its not just anger-#-its so much more than that. but its not hate. he doesn't hate her and never has hated her#also the acknowledgement that things (at that point in time) between them are still Not Okay#like. they're not fighting any longer. they recognized their harmful actions but those feelings still havent gone away theyre still hurt#i think the ending to their arc was very decent because it still gave them room to grow in peace#they're not okay RIGHT NOW but with enough work maybe they will be. it will take years and years and years but maybe it will be okay.#“hey look im not all that comfortable with you yet but i recognize your regret and willingness to work on us so i can do the same for you”-#-hey what if i died right now. what if i died from that right fucking now.#wizard101#wiz101#w101#text posts#grandfather spider

every time i read the odyssey i just love odysseus more i can’t help it he’s just sooooooooooo flawed and confusing and awesome and every time you think he’ll disappoint he serves yet again and nobody gets him like i do
#i just watched whiplash again and i know it’s stupid but all those thoughts abt whether greatness is worth destroying yourself for#like it’s borderline crazy to compare the two works but. i am 23 and never met two pieces of media i couldn’t read in parallel due me#you read the odyssey and. YES. it is worth destroying Everything for it is worth the ire of the gods#to make sure your name is known. it’s. such a resounding point of view i can’t help but want to applaud#i!! love!! the human spirit!!!!!!

things i want to get answers to in the remaining episodes of four leaf: a very comprehensive list that must be missing some things i just cant remember at the moment (also soilers for up until ep 139):
just in general evrything about the bells, and more especiall like how is lina giving lupe her bells (because that is 100% gonna happen i think) gonna affect them, for example if they'll get lina's bell as like their own, and if that bell being kinda broken is gonna be any problem
will that be a permanent change, is lupe gonna give the bell back to lina after they deal with the wolf
what's gonna happen to cricket if they really do deal with the wolf? or how will tehy come to some wsolution that doesnt harm anyone
CARLA!!! is she gonna be okay? that wound looks very nasty. i hope they'll be able to cure it somehow, and if not, then chopchop there goes a leg :/
talking about carla, is she gonna give er bells to someone like she mentioned in 138? that is only in case she wont be able to continue, but it loks very bad rn, so my question is, is it gonnna be mercy? or in general, who is it gonna be?
also about the bells, i really wanna know how many bells each witch has!! it''s just something i think would be interesting to analyse. (i looked through all the episodes where a witch has their bells out buut i still now only know for certain the number of bels like 7 witches have (before 137 and emma giving up her bells): Erica 1, Emma 2, Socks 2 (most likely, unless she got mor after the prison break, that's when she at least shows only 2), Alishba 3, Linda 3 (both of whose bells were shown during the prison break), Carla 20, Lina 21.
also also (i use that word so much), the names of the witches! we now know there are 17 witches in the red hoods (+lupe +lina so maybe 19 but oh well) and of those 17 we know the names of 12 (episode 133)
what i wanna know too is like which bell belongs to which witch? we've seen some, for example in the flashback of when they first appeared, and also in the festival of roses we see some, but like i wnna knowww (ye sit's very trivial but that's what makes it fun i think)
the mom. what happened with her in the 8 months that have passed since lupe was last in their original world? did she just continue on like normal, or did she actually regret some of the things she's done? will lupe go see her again?
the inevitable. the thing i've been waiting for for like 2 years. the KISS! alvar mentioned the witch loking very mad and the also saying he's the kinda guy to ask twice before a first kiss and what i think will happen is that he is gonna ask. like he's just the kinda guy. but the thing lupe (most likely) will be "mad" about is just that al didnt tell about it (even tho he was gonna tell you lupe, you just didnt want him to). or they arent mad, but just like very confused/fristrated and Al just interpreted it wrong? i dont know. we'll see (hopefully tomorrow in 140 but at the evry least in 141?? like i dont think it will take so long that it would be 142? (i am delusional). also looking at the future chapter thumbnails (not a fast pass reader), it looks like someone is using some kind of reddish/pinkish magic / teleporting right next to him)
okay this isnt a theory or anything, i just know lupe's dad is gonna be so smug learning about lupe and al's relationship when they do get into one like judging from ep 116 and the "crush" i jut know
okay wow this is a long post but i need to get these out of my head and scream into the void and wait if it screams back
back to the bells, they'r gonna give everyone their own one back right? if they deal wit hthe wolf, there shouldnt be any need to hoard all the power, and i dont think it would be very fair to let 72 people just go on about life without really even knowing what's going no just because you wanna levitate. i know it's probably more complicated than that but yeah
also (fuck, this word again) what's gonna happen to the witchs' craving of gloom? is it gonna go away if there is no wolf (okay this is assuming that it's dealt with and they wont come to a peaceful comclusion but if that happens i just really hope cricket will be okay)
are other witches gonna wanna get rid of their bells and become human like emma?
i would like some more information about the different worlds, although i think it's unlikely tha will come up in the chapters themselves, but maybe as some bonus content somewhere?
okay so i already wrote about like if Lina's bell being broken is gonna have any effect on lupe, but will it affect Lina herself? i would assume not, but you never know
just in general, i cant wait to see how everything comes to a conclusion and how the ending is gonna be (even tho i would love for it to go on for longer). are we gonnna see another time skip?
man i just remembered there are alaso civilians in Garua at the moment too like the redhoods are gonna get the to safety right? maybe that will also help a little with the public's fear of the witches, the news that hey maybe they're not bad through and through (even tho that was never the case but most people still thought that so)
fuck this is long how many words even is this... 1005???? man that's like 2/3 of the essays we had to write in high school. yea it's easier to just put stuff from your mind into bullet points but this has taken me like maybe 45 minutes where as those essays took at least 5 hours. i bet i could make one from one of my interests in like 2 hours and i would be much better than any of those monstrocities i wrote
anyway back on track
actually those are the main ones i remember now, maybe i'll update this once more come to mind, but for now this is enough for today
pictured above is me falling for this series
wait one more thing: is it stated anywhere how much the bells weigh? i would assume they're more like incorporeal so they wouldn't hve any mass, and i fell like should know this i've read this series 5 or 6 times. but if they do infact hve mass, do the witches have to actively levitate them or are they jsut funky like that
#fellow four leaf readers please tell me stuff i didnt consider that should probably be here#four leaf webtoon#four leaf#webtoon#tuisku thinks (shocking)#man i just have so many questions and i just want to know everything about this world#or worlds#this is honestly one of my all time favorite serieses#in all media formats#i know i've said it before but it is true so it should be stated again#im so normal about it you dont even know#also i hope most of those havent already been answered although some might have been#sporry for anyone who had to see this/read all of it i applaud you this was so not organized and very confusing#villasukat.

YOU READ EVERY SINGLE SHRIGNOLD FANFICTION ON AO3???? EVEN THE FREAKY ONES??
i have read them all.
#some are still updating it seems so i check back every few days but i'll just say now that. some of those are never going to leave#the inside of my brain. and its not all negative! i truly dont hate all of them and applaud some for actually writing rather well#i dont hate the “freaky” writing.. that's not exactly what im talking about its more like the moments where things are just so. Odd#and odd where i have to stop reading and take a breather#i could share more of my thoughts but tht would require somewhat delving into personal problems so i'll shorten it to#“how do people write about certain topics so carelessy..”#vs#“are you coping with your trauma or just using this for a shock! to make the auidence jump!” yknow?#i dont like when people use certain .. horrible..horrible things for plot and not coping

"You know what I did last night after you left us and went away just because you were oh, so in love with Rowan! Oh, so very in love with La Doctor Dolorosa. Well, guess what! I read your books, your maudlin mawkish melancholy Vampire Chronicles, and I can see why your fledglings despise you! You treated Claudia like a doll just 'cause she had the body of a child! And what was that all about, making a child a vampire in the first place?-" "Stop it, how dare you!" "And your own mother, you give her the Dark Gift, and then you try to stop her from cutting her long hair or wearing men's clothes, and this in the eighteenth century, when women have to go around looking like wedding cakes, you're an autocratic monster!" "You insult me, you abuse me! If you don't stop-." "And I know why you're so fired up over Rowan, she's the first adult female other than your own mother who's ever caught your attention for more than five minutes, and Hello! Lestat Discovers The Opposite Sex! Yeah, females do come in grown-up sizes! And I happen to be one of them, and this is not the Garden of Eden, and I am not taking off this dress!"
this book has so many flaws but please don't doubt that it's funny. lestat faces the perils of writing down and publishing every three a.m. thought that ever entered his head for a broad audience that includes his future acquaintances.
#i cannot recommend reading this like i do very much get why everyone says you can skip it even the hardcore book onlies#but in addition to the stuff that's funny there's also the stuff that's good AND funny#for example: What if some ruthless enterprising individual did a catalog of all the furniture you have personally described in your Vampire#Chronicals#then what#I'll tell you what#that would put you to shame#you avaricious#shameless#hoarding#ever-hungry Seven Deadly Sin Committing fiend#what did Louis once say to you#that you made a junk shop of eternity? Move it!#like WHO went forth and did this exact thing only for Anne Rice to not only notice but put it in her book#and call you Louis coded??#please step forward so i can applaud even odds you're on tumblr#I will grant Mona this she does actually talk like an 20 year old woman who spent the last two years dying slowly#and then died all at once! and came back because someone wanted to play house#press reads iwtv

Fantastic chapter like always and absolutely adorable.
I love how you expand so much on the characters even the dead ones in this fic in a way that makes them so present in the narrative. The way this makes Frank just completely absorbed by his family constantly while still building them as real people independent to him is great. Just the little details about Maria this chapter and how they relate to Matt is absolutely fantastic
The situation between Peter and Frank needed to blow up spectacularly before getting resolved I should have known that something would actually blow up.
The way you showed the Spidey sense in action through Franks pov was really good it's my favorite Spidey power and really fun to see in action.
Poor Peter though. I hope that once the situation gets resolved he can have a good cry about everything ever.
Also I really want Tony to get punched in the face. Just a small punch! Just once! But Jesus Christ the way he handled this situation has been so bad for Peter I am so angry at him. I know he's dealing with something behind the scenes bit still he needs to think about the impact this all has on Peter it's so bleak and isolating
i simply love explosions and add them in to everything i can. they're the spice of life. do not have the police investigate me i am so so normal about fire
Maria Castle is alive in my head and I love her. the version that lives in my head simply loves Matt. He's the dumbass little brother she's always wanted. He enchants her with his poor decision making and emotional unavailability. When he comes over she insists on throwing herself in his arms and he twirls her around because it annoys frank and they're inherently both assholes. The Maria in my head will never be showcased unless i end up pushing my Castle Family Agenda in earnest, but I will reference her as she exists in my head in works where she's still dead. I love her your honor.
The reaction to tony in kintsugi continues to be hilarious to me because kintsugi partially exists because I didn't see this reaction post-CW. Like the reaction I saw was mostly hardcore Iron Dad and i just didn't really see or hear a lot of commentary about how he handled the time between CW and Homecoming. And in kintsugi I changed literally nothing about how Tony treated Peter in that time and people are soooo mad at him. It's kind of funny
#there definitely were people who also didn't like how tony handled the time between CW and homecoming i just never really saw them#like to be clear i don't think this response originated with kintsugi and op you may have felt this way pre kintsugi#it's just part of the thing that kicked off this fic was that i didn't like tony going radio silent after CW#and then getting a world best dad mug from the fandom after it#i'm so glad y'all agree#the tony stark thing was the one thing i took no creative liberties on it's just straight up canon#like it's far from intentional but that's the thing you've got a kid and you've got to think past that intention to how it may hurt them#like tony throughout homecoming just. didn't make a single decision with respect to peter i agreed with. not in the entire movie.#i walked out like 'wow i would sort of try to have this man arrested if peter was my child' which was NOT the fandom takeaway that i saw#i just saw like 900000 irondad fics applauding it#it was pretty bad child care all around#the first step of kintsugi#pottery shards verse#thank you for reading and coming to talk to me you are a delight as always and i am soooo grateful#your kinds words are always a joy#pottery shards is not abandoned i'm just enslaved to hyperfixation right now which is over in the tma side

#insights#we are watching the world trend into horror and western leftists are applauding#normally i love western leftists. we are so quick to stand against what we perceive to be injustice#but two days ago a close friend of mine for many years retweeted that video of the concordia student screaming ‘you fucking kike’#the next day another friend retweets a post saying that hamas should have killed more#that rape isn’t rape when it’s against colonizers#so many of my friends agreeing that it’s okay to dehumanize people you don’t like#i am no expert in what qualifies as deserving of respect but i was raised to believe that every human being deserves basic respect.#i’m not sympathetic to the israeli government at all and i hope they face repercussions for the crimes they’ve committed#but i am so so scared that so many people are watching ‘death to the jews’ trend worldwide and saying ‘they deserved it’#it went from anti-colonialism to anti-semitism and there is a REAL lack of acknowledgement of that#meanwhile palestinians still suffer and all of this global hatred and insistence on black and white isn’t helping#jewish people everywhere had a right to be paranoid because they’ve seen this before and the left just laughed it off#probably now the same people who are holding pitchforks and thinking that hatred will solve injustice#i want a free palestine and for anti-semitism to not exist because these are compatible ideas#if you see anti-semitism or anti-arab sentiments please do call it out.#i didn’t make this into a textpost because i was afraid it would get passed around in a bad way#i’m sure somebody will still read this and scream ‘ISRAEL SYMPATHIZER!’#honestly we should all criticize the israeli government (as so many israelis do)#but there are also a lot of free thinkers going ‘jews control the narrative / the world’ like that isn’t some of the pre-holocaust thinking#and they refuse to acknowledge it.#anyways i’m terrified for the world and for humanity and its strange urge to destroy itself

i'm so fucking proud of this fic already guys holy shit
#i feel weird saying that cuz the anxious part of me feels like it's self-centered or self-applauding to be confident in your work#but i'm having a fucking blast writing this and i honestly can't wait to share it#the yj fics i've read so far have all been fantastic and i'm so excited to get involved with the fandom in my own way!!!#ig i should mention that it will contain spoilers for the season 1 finale as it's set in the two months in between s1 and s2#but if you don't mind spoilers or if you're caught up like i am i would love feedback once i post it to ao3!!

hiya honey!!! how's your day going?? i hope you're having a great one <3 how many different fan communities/fandoms have you been in? how active are you in them? what was/is your favorite one to be a part of? do you say you spend a lot of time in fandom spaces, or is it something that you do occasionally as an escape?
hiiiiii gi my day is okay, i hope You’re having a great one! as always pretend this isn’t like ten years late! answer under the cut because it’s Obnoxiously long for no reason
tldr: i was rlly into PLL for awhile, but (tumblr) drag race is my favorite fandom home by far :))))
sooo other than this one i’ve actually only been active in the Pretty Little Liars fandom, i had like 10k followers at my peak (which is surprising bc it wasn’t that good at all, i was 12 🤭) and that’s really it! i’ve been ~apart of various other fandoms, but not Active in them. oitnb halsey steven universe danganronpa etc, various cringey faggot things. i Love minecraft but i’m not rlly part of the ?fandom? for it? im part of the furry fandom i suppose even tho i can’t draw and i don’t participate (im nervous). i spend a lot of time on twitter wishing i had the talent other people do, so i’d say i spend a lot of time in those spaces but not like. In Them yaknow? and as far as my favorite, it’s honestly gotta be this one, but only the tumblr variety. bc 1) the drag race fandom anywhere else is Evil and Terrible (and not in the sexy daya way), i wouldn’t even wanna call myself a drag race fan anywhere else. and 2) it’s so much more chill and safe over here. i would receive death threats from twitter drag race people for even Supporting daya, let alone the other ways i feel about her 😳 and also being able to say whatever i want abt the girlies with almost no chance of them seeing it is a perk 🤭 i also really love stanning ~accessible celebrities, if i felt the way i do about daya for like. spins wheel taylor swift or harry styles or beyoncé, i’d be so sad all the time bc the chance of real interaction or being noticed is slim to none. it’s not like that’s all fandom is of course, but it’s important to me bc i want the people i love and support to Know that i, specifically, love and support them. sooo i guess i love stanning people that are gaymous!! not to mention the fact that drag race saved my life and then drag race tumblr changed my life so !!!
#wow that’s SO many words sorry if you read it all im applauding you#asks#i might’ve been spoiled by being a fandom that got ~noticed bc shay mitchell (emily from pll) noticed my fan account a lot so i think#that gave me silly expectations

THANK YOU for talking about pangzi in the tags of that post ur so right it makes me soooo happy to read fics where he's is fat and happy and hot and loved and it sucks when other people can't see that because of their bias
thanks again for bringing it up because i do think its something the fandom as a whole needs to look at more critically
<3
I'm glad it's not just me and a handful of people close to me seeing that it's an actual big issue in the fandom! ♥️
Especially because so many people will say they love him, he's their favourite but then never actually include him or just treat him awfully.
I get very fed up about it quite often because it's just so obvious to me. I see a lot of people asking "Why is this idea about Pangzi so common it makes no sense" or "Why is this Pangzi ship not as popular as this one while it makes way more sense" and then never actually thinking about it while the answer is so obvious... It's also extra frustrating because none of the actors playing Pangzi are actually fat. They're completely normal men who are just surrounded by extremely skinny boys. I don't even want to imagine how Pangzi would be treated if he were played by an actual fat man. (The closest we get is Liu Tianzuo in TLT1 and it's not surprising to me that he's fandom's least favourite and most criticized Pangzi)
Because this bias also becomes most obvious in headcanons like 'I can only imagine Pangzi as asexual/cishet/in a QPR' (because they're so so fucking common and casually thrown around) it's really hard to point it out to people without them getting really defensive about it.
I have three separate posts about it in my drafts/notes app that I wrote after spending weeks and weeks working on video lectures about diversity and inclusion, many focusing on bias but I couldn't get the tone right so I never posted them.
I just want people to understand that everyone is biased and it's not something that makes you a bad person. Nobody wants to be biased, you just are. You get taught things by the world around you and your brain learns it whether you want it or not. It's up to you to look at what you have learned and think about it at least twice and then unlearn the harmful untrue things like gender bias, fat bias, race bias. It's not easy to address your bias but it does get easier once you accept you are biased and (not to use the terms I learned in my diversity lectures) start overriding your fast brain and start listening to your slow brain. I was once told that your first thought is what you have been taught by the world around you (fast brain) and your second thought is what you, yourself, actually think (slow brain). It's hard and a bit exhausting, especially with something like fat bias that has been so deeply ingrained and normalised, but god when i tell you it makes your world so much more beautiful.
Fat people deserve to be fat and still be loved and happy and seen as sexy and a potential love interest. Pangzi is fat and hot and a wonderful lovely competent man who is strong and funny and kind. He is extremely loved by the people around him, especially Wu Xie and Xiaoge. He has so so so many good and wonderful traits but he also has his quirks and he says the wrong things sometimes and he's impulsive at moments but that's what makes him so interesting and beautiful and dynamic! He deserves to be portrayed like that more instead of just the mother hen who cooks and cleans while the rest has sex or as the wingman for his two besties or the annoying clumsy fat man who once again triggers a trap because of his greed or just the comic relief or the creepy straight man.
ANYWAY I'll shut up now! If you ever want to talk about how how beautiful Pangzi is and how beautiful other characters think he is and how sexy it is of him to be fat, my DMs are always open!
#i really didn't mean for this reply to be this long woops but#I couldn't shut up again about this#just people... look into your bias and ask yourself WHY you think these things about pangzi#ask#anonymous#also about liu tianzuo people tend to bring up things he says and make him into this super problematic gross man#but ikd man if it was liu sang or xiaoge saying those things they'd probably either get instantly excused for them or applauded#or the biphobia#and for the people who read all this and now are here in the tags hello#i just want to add that the QPR and ace thing is especially frustrating#because these things are so important to be portrayed more#but it's just... not ok when the only characters you see like this are fat characters or characters you are not attracted to or sth#and in dmbj it's especially frustrating#because in the novels especially xiaoge is described as especially asexual#but the fandom refuses to portray him often as anything but a sex machine#and then they add pangzi the man who flirts with anything with two legs#THE ONE CHARACTER WHO ACTUALLY IS IMPLIED TO HAVE HAD SEX IN THE SHOWS#as asexual???#that's bias babey#and before anyone whines yes i know ace people can have sex the portrayal of asexuals in fanfic is a whole other chat we can have

here are the main characters of my au for more ideas! [From left to right] Cinder’Feather, Mist’Claw, Spark’Paw, and Sun’Claw!
About the characters!
Cinder’Feather is a young medicine cat for RiverClan! her mother is a warrior in Thunderclan, while her father is a warrior in windclan, her mother sent her down the river as a kit, hoping to get rid of her, but a young warrior from riverclan took her in as her own, she eventually became a medicine cat to take care of her clan. she has a pretty neutral view on things.
Mist’Claw is an older warrior in ShadowClan, when he received his apprentice name, he and his mentor did not get along very well, causing a fight leaving him blind in one eye. as he became a warrior, he was meant to become the deputy, but his old mentor stole the role by faking a prophecy. eventually he got a mate, and had a kit with her, losing her shortly after due to birth failure. hes a pretty passive aggressive cat.
Spark’Paw was born during a lightning storm with his littermate Thorn’Paw in Windclan, a few moons after his apprenticeship his littermate stone’kit was born. he and his brother compete for the leaders attention and praise. not much lore due to him being the youngest. hes got a snappy personality.
Sun’Claw is a middle aged tom, he grew up very sheltered by his clan, never gaining the opportunity to practice with his clan due to his mentor being absent most if his apprenticeship. Shortly after he became an apprentice both the leader and the deputy passed due to an accident (to be determined!); the medicine cat of Thunderclan received the names of the to be leader, sun’claw and shell’snap, but the clan misheard and promoted Sun’spot as the leader, who eventually died anyways on his way to receive his lives. Shell’Star being promoted to leader. hes now an average warrior for Thunderclan.
hope the information fills you in! next post will be about the leaders of each clan.
#warrior cats#warriors#wc#oh god this is long#apologies#but it’s all somewhat important?#i mean i think this would be good to look at before replying to the previous post#i applaud you for reading through this#oc#ocs#my ocs#warrior cats au
