GODDAMNIT

man, I was just scrolling and now I'm a goddamn Raidioapple shipper what the FUCK

Ok ok-

And now I'm going to elaborate just because.

I was expecting someone out there to ship Lucifer and Alastor the second I heard Hell's Greatest Dad. I mean- two people singing/arguing over being father figures? Sounds gay to me /pos. The internet sure does love it's enemies to lovers (me included. I'm hopless lmao.)

BUT. I have specifics for this ship.

I hate it when people just look at Alastor's aromanticism/asexuallity and just go "nah. I'm just gonna do it anyways." I used to headcanon Alastor as complete aroace in the sense that he just can't feel that way for someone (this is not meant to sound like "oh he can't love anyone :( he's incapable" I mean specifically a romantic/sexual relationship.) Then fucking short ass king of hell arrives, and Alastor just IMMEDIATELY chooses violence.

I didn't think much of that besides "oh that's a little interesting," and then I stumbled across Radioapple and had to take a double take. My brain needed to figure out how that would work, like how it would start, flourish, ineract, yadda yadda-

.....so now I consider Alastor Demiromantic-

(I'm still goddamn writing jeez-)

Read on if you like random people looking wayyyyyy too much into fictional characters.

Headcanon timeeeeeeeee

When Lucifer and Alastor first meet, Alastor is surprised Lucifer doesn't know who he is. Up to this point, everyone knows about the terrifying radio demon, so it must be a little weird for someone to be completely ignorant to his existence. Especially when that person should probably know the ins and outs of what's going on- ....because he's the fucking king of hell.

This is something new for Alastor. It made him curious. When you're curious, you try to learn more right? So, Alastor starts pushing Lucifer's buttons, seeing how he reacts. On Lucifer's end, Alastor's just being a smug asshole. However his true intentions are information on the esteemed oh-so-powerful king of hell. Maybe Alastor doesn't quite know where this fascination comes from, but regardless he wants to learn more. I can picture him progressively bothering Lucifer more and more (this is his unique way of getting to know him semi-discreetly)

As well as figuring out what ticks him off, Alastor would also probably passively learn things Lucifer likes. For instance, he finds out what Lucifer's favorite alcoholic drink is or something- bare with me- Let’s say Lucifer has a rough day, and it's very clear to everyone in the hotel. While he's frustrated in his own room, he hears a knock at the door. Answering it, he finds his aforementioned favorite drink. At this point, he wouldn't know who left it. But after a while, he'd be able to figure out it's Alastor through process of elimination. (This is inspired by a comic I saw! :))

Now we've got Alastor trying to discreetly be kind to Lucifer, and Lucifer is aware without his knowledge. And Lucifer would call him out for it lmao. Slowly, they'd start acting friendlier towards each other. It would take a long, long time though. The slowest slow burn of them all. They'd hang out more, do things, kick angel ass, have friendly banter, do stuff with Charlie. Untill Alastor finally realizes that he might have a crush on Lucifer. Though, I feel he'd take a while to fully figure that out, do some soul searching, maybe go to Rosie for advice.

Then they'd confess. Or they wouldn't lol. I can totally see them going on what is essentially a date, even though they just consider it "hanging out". It would be a quiet relationship. Something you'd miss if you aren't looking for it, but it is there. They both just need someone they can rest with in my opinion.

These ideas are probably sporadic and nonsensical- but I ✨️don't care✨️ I just needed to rant about the old timey deer man and the short depressed apple gremlin.

[boynarcing]

Instead of posting pointless callouts, use your brains.

tldr: some of yall need to learn what a fucking block button is

Genuinely what is so hard about pressing the block button? Like omg I promise no one cares about your fuckass callout posts or rants. Like some of these people are embarrassing as hell. If you get triggered by shit on the internet, it’s YOUR decision on wether or not you want to interact or block and move on with your life. Like brother, i’m not going to throw a fit and freak out over some post that just so happened to contain weird shit on it. You know what I do? I MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE. Because I got better shit to worry about than some random ass fic on tumblr.

You like ddlg? Cool. Doesn’t hurt me or anyone, I don’t care. You like incest? Good for you! You like noncon? Okay! Like do y’all see how easy it is to just smile and nod? Trust, policing what people post and enjoy, is not going to change shit. It’s just annoying as fuck. People pick and choose, because some of the shit you all consume wouldn’t be considered normal either, going by what you all say.

According to all of your logic, blood kinks, knife kinks, gun kinks, piss kinks, and etc. should not be normalized either. Murder shouldn’t be written about, especially gore. Which is fucking moronic, considering how RE is built on violence and gore. Please, learn how to separate fiction from reality.

Many people are fans of iconic slasher films and horror movies. Michael Myers is a rapist and a murderer. But guess what? No one CARES! Because he’s not REAL. I could go on with so much more examples, but you should get the point by now. Hopefully. Dark content is everywhere, why is it now that it’s weird? Makes no fucking sense.

I get that some of you don’t want your precious white boy’s image to be tainted or defamed or whatever, but trust, Leon Kennedy is not reading these fics nor would he care. ‘He’s not a rapist or into incest!’, well he also wouldn’t call you ‘sweetheart’ or whatever cheesy bs fluff fics contain nowadays. But that’s the whole point, isn’t it? It’s all OOC. We KNOW he’s not a horrible person or an incredibly affectionate lover, but people write whatever they want. And no one’s going to stop them! Not the posts clogging up the tags or the weird asks.

There’s so much more, but the main arguments that keep being repeated are ‘it’s weird’ and ‘if you write about it, you’re probably going to do it in real life’. That take is so fucking stupid I can’t help but laugh. Same bs as white moms claiming their son is going to shoot some place out just because he plays violent video games. The whole point? SEPARATE FICTION FROM REALITY. And if you don’t like something? IGNORE IT? Why are you willingly engaging like omg are you stupid or dumb.

OH AND. ‘kids could see this!’ When will you all learn that no matter what you do, you cannot control what a person sees or decides to interact with. Especially minors. I’m willing to bet half of a smut writers followers are minors. Guess what? People lie all the time, about their ages and whatever else. It’s the fucking internet, of course they do. It’s not the responsibility of the blog owner to take care of children. The most they could do is plaster a big fat MDNI on their blog, that’s it. It’s the job of the parents to control what their kid watches or consumes, and we can’t exactly help with that. So don’t pretend to gaf about minors like omg.

Anyways. I’m too lazy to continue writing like I just needed to say this because some of you are slow. Me and many others are going to continue to write whatever the fuck we want. In conclusion? Block if you don’t like it LMAO. I don’t care about what some rando has to say on the internet.

[tinyevelyn]

oke sooouhmm gonna rant a little

me venting under cut

oke so I've been quite stressed for the past few days and i have been coping by ignoring it and going to tumblr for "emotional support" by giving moots "gifts" bc seeing them happy bc made them happy makes me happy and I don't know what else to do

sooo to sum things up, I'm gonna experience a huge major change in my life and I am really really not ready for it. Had a lil panic attack bc of it recently lmao. I'm a huge mess right now and I need a break but time is moving so fast and I'm just so scared to actually get ready for this big change bc what if I do it wrong? what if I mess up? knowing fully that if I do nothing, I'll really mess up.

I dont really have anyone to talk to about this and feel supported by. I have been feeling pretty lonely for quite a while. I've met many amazing friends on tumblr and I still think they're wonderful and amazing but I can't help but feel like they're drifting away. Like they've gotten more followers more mutuals and I'm happy for them, really. but I feel lost in that sea of success and I'm not blaming them. its just me. I've just been lonely and had too much time to overthink and be delusional so yea, hopefully I didn't insult anyone

TLDR I'm overwhelmed and I feel lonely

anyway thank you for listening/or reading my ranting and venting and yea thanks :3

[autumngracy]

Hi, just a random question from a fan of AROS (for which I have no coherent words to decribe my admiration)- I'm sure you've been asked this a million times already, but I'm quite new to this fandom, so forgive me and feel free to ignore the question, of course- who did you base your Javert on, appearance-wise?

Actually I don't think anyone directly asked this before!

To be honest I didn't actually base him on anything or anyone in particular ... I think the reason for this is because I read the brick before ever seeing any adaptations of Les Mis, so the first Javert I pictured was just my own interpretation of him from the brick ...

And what's funny is I can't remember if I originally pictured him with short hair or long hair. I read the 1938 Heritage Press edition of the brick, which is the Wraxall translation + about 1500 Lynd Ward illustrations, and in those illustrations he has short hair. But, oddly, I didn't remember it as being short in those illustrations? I had to go back and look years layer to confirm. (Alas, my beautiful Heritage Press copy is lost somewhere now!)

So I don't know if the long hair thing was me originally picturing it that way despite the illustrations being otherwise (possibly because the illustrative style made it somewhat vague at first?), or if it was from me later getting brainrot from looking at all the post Terrance Mann Javert designs ...

Best I can say about the hair issue is, well ... I just really happen to like male characters with long hair ... idk why lol. I have a lot of male OCs with long hair and every time I make one, part of my brain goes "Another one? For real? Do we not have enough of these little bitches already? If you don't stop putting long hair on all these characters people are gonna start to think you have some kind of kink."

Which. Well. I'm actually asexual so idk lol I think it's just an aesthetic preference

ANYWAY

For his wardrobe, that's just the brick descriptions plus factual research into 1830's era menswear. The only anachronistic element of his appearance really is his hair, but I do get around that by pointing out that he could have simply picked the (older and naval oriented) style up while he was at the Bagne (which did in fact have a dress mandate for keeping long hair tied up, suggesting it was a common enough hairstyle among the guards) and just never dropped it even after it became unfashionable—because A) he doesn't seem to give two shits about being fashionable, B) keeping short hair means either spending money to keep it short or having an intimate enough relationship with someone that they will do it for you free—neither of which I can see him wanting to do—and also C) he appears to be a creature of habit, so keeping the same, easily self-maintained hairstyle over the years fits my understanding of him.

Also, I'm not even exaggerating his tools of the trade because there really is a line in the brick about him having some kind of sword, which I had to go back and reread several times because it surprised even me (but it's 3am and I'm too assed to look it up rn). And we already know he has 2 pistols and a bludgeon (which the brick says he holds tucked up invisibly in his sleeve, Assassin's Creed style, lmao).

On another subject—

Given his stiff and distanced way of interacting with the world, questionable of social skills (see him bluescreening when Fantine is pleading with him in the mairie by way of what may be thinly veiled sexual advances), as well as his black and white thinking, penchant for being distracted by his thoughts to the point of complete obliviouness, propensity to either give extremely short responses or to go into ranting monologues, with little in between—plus the idea that he hates reading but makes himself do it for self improvement reasons, and how he seems to start stimming when lost in thought—I could definitely see him possibly being Autistic or having ADHD.

Now then, about his race ...

I know originally I actually pictured him differently than the Javert I wrote for my fic—as more white, at least—the way he appeared in the Lynd Ward until I read people discussing how he was probably supposed to be part Romani. And when it came to me having to pick conclusive character designs for my fic, I thought it would be much more interesting if it was a Javert who was visibly Romani instead of white passing, which he seems to be in most everything that bothers to mention his background.

I do find it weird that he's seemingly been played by nothing but white guys except for Norm Lewis and David Oyelowo (that I can find). So there's never really been a Romani Javert in stage or screen adaptations ... However, there's still a decent amount of fanart that shows him as darker skinned/Romani, so at least there's that.

Anyway I find that a visibly non white Javert just adds a lot more nuance and depth to his character, even compared to a still Romani but white passing version of him. Because then it changes how he interacts with and views the world (and vice versa), and it changes or adds to his motivations for doing what he does. It brings his (very canon!) struggle with internal racism to the forefront, which a lot of adaptations downplay or completely ignore.

I think part of why this appeals to me is that in modern times we are very used to the idea of the shitty oppressive white cop who is approaching everything from a position of absolute privilege and authority (which is a very shallow and uninteresting archetype, character-wise) ... and brick canon Javert, regardless of whether or not he is white passing, is not coming from a position of privilege—and not just because he is poor. He is coming from a position of social insecurity and vulnerability, which (at least it seems to me) he is trying desperately to escape/overcome.

And this makes his motivations for choosing his specific job far more interesting than "shitty white cop that enforces the status quo because he gets off on exerting power over other people". It suggests a sort of willful mental dissonance and denial that also make a lot of sense in hindsight when we consider the effects of his derailment.

The idea of him snapping and realizing for the first time that most everything he was doing was morally corrupt (or at least highly questionable) is one thing (and a level of obliviousness/ignorance that is somewhat hard to believe, imo) ...

But the idea that he knew how morally reprehensible his actions were all along, and was repressing it on purpose? To gain the only foothold he could see on the ladder of a world he was born on the lowest rung of? And after decades, is forced by external factors to finally, finally look his decisions in the eye and confront himself about them?

Well, shit. That hits a lot harder, doesn't it?

And it certainly hits him pretty hard. Obviously (as I pointed out in the the fic) he did mentally store away notes of things he found morally questionable about/during his career over the years—he just didn't let himself act on them. But it implies he was aware of the injustices, even if he only relegated that awareness to his subconscious.

The brick talks about how he felt he existed outside of society and had only two choices in life—black and white thinking; criminal vs protector, etc.—and it spells out how this is pretty much the direct result of his internalized rascism—so, I mean ... I don't think it's unlikely that canon Javert knew from the beginning that he was sacrificing his his heritage, culture, and moral compass in pursuit of respect and recognition from society (and thereby, social safety).

And in a Post-Seine world, he's forced to reconcile with all of that.

I may have just spoiled a major upcoming plot point for AROS tbh but oh well I was dropping breadcrumbs of foreshadowing about it the entire goddamn time lmao

[lunar-years]

The batshit thing about the R/K shippers hating on Jamie is that Keeley and Roy both love Jamie. The haters have completely ignored every character beat and growth and instead focused on "het couple is always end game" and got pissed when that didn't happen because it turns out their characters are more nuanced than that.

they mischaracterize all three of them to an insane degree because they for some reason feel the constant need to prove that R/K are the healthiest most well adjusted couple in the history of television and Jamie possesses absolutely zero threat to their relationship whatsoever because they both are merely 'putting up with him' at best or secretly hate him at worst (all of which are laughable claims to anyone who has watched the show with their eyes open, and possesses even the most meager analysis skills in their brains).

I also think the way they talk about R/K is often so reductive if not genuinely gross (in addition to just being like, generally of a heteronormative flavor)...and that's the ship they're meant to LIKE. like there were people yesterday screaming about how "Roy would NEVER share Keeley!!!1!!!" and it's like...well Keeley isn't a toy they're passing around or hogging, so jot that down. She's a person with her own agency, who isn't with... get this... EITHER ONE OF THEM at the end of the series!!! Yeah, that includes ROY!!! So Roy at the moment really has zero say in whether she wants to fuck Jamie again or not, lmao. she's every bit as capable of getting back together with him as she is Roy post canon. and if they were together, opening their relationship to someone else would be...a mutual decision...because Keeley is a whole character of her own and not just a prop for your male fav...

And then there's the whole "well we ship something that's actually CANON and therefore BETTER, whereas R/J & RJK shippers are just weaving mystical delusions because they're ~desperate for representation~ or whatever. Which is apparently why the Apple TV account and even the actors should never, ever so much as allude to RJK again, because it diminishes their "real and correct" couple. Again, NEITHER PAIRING IS EVEN ENDGAME CANON.

And finally, all the little ways they constantly try to mask the fact that they just hate Jamie because he's in the way of their ship with "real analysis" that boils down to such riveting takes as: "Jamie = Irredeemable and Bad because he hurt Keeley three seasons ago" "Roy = baby boy who has never hurt Keeley ever in his life and is perfect for her in every which way. oh? here's a canonical scene where Roy is canonically hurting Keeley? WELL, that's just bad writing. OOC, that is. the writers just suck. my favorites cannot be flawed"

anyway...I love roykeeley in the very specific way they exist in my head but i really need the r/k diehards to like... step back and accept the fact that they canonically BROKE UP and are not inherently perfect and better than any other ship between flawed characters. go read fanfiction and imagine the ending of your choosing to your heart's content, like the rest of us, and stop targeting social media managers jumping on the latest silly internet meme. sorry for the rant it's just....so fucking irritating

[torialefay]

First of all, wishing you all the best of luck on your assessment🍀🍀🍀🍀

Second, mad agree with you on the hair post like😊

Third, coming from a lower middle/middle class area, i have never met a single person who was financially "normal" to this area or on the poorer side who would dare throw their electronics like chan has before. Even if they got richer later, old habits die hard, and you learn the value of money. I mean, I've seen people toss or flip their phone softly when bored, but never that hard or with a laptop or something, holy shit. You can tell a lot about someone by their interactions with not only people, but everything. The amount of times i watched an idol and went "🫵rich kid attitude" is kinda funny. And i totally agree with all the asks that came in between you and your mutuals and some anons, skz are all mad hardworking, but i dont think you can or should ignore or cover up the fact that they had the financial help and the resources to learn more and give them an advantage above the rest both personally amx through jype. Its kinda like college acceptance imo. And YES creatively free with many many many restrictions. Not even talking about k-idols, normal musicians have talked about the restrictions and requirements they need to have for their appearcance and the songs they released, i can only imagine being an idol is just exponentially demanding and restrictive. Their real voice is there, but it's smaller than a lot of stay think. Hayley Kiyoko talked about her company (label?) Not wanting her to write anymore songs about girls and Colbie Caillet has a whole song about her frustration that her label wanted her to write more love songs.

*incoherent noises* i could go on forever, but my god, cortana, play "we dont believe whats on tv" by twenty one pilots

And oh my god, i wish fandoms lighten up some. Its okay to not like everything every artist or show or whatever you like comes out with. It may even be healthy to not. When you love someone, youre not gonna let them keep fucking up and then you go "youre doing amazing sweetie", no, you have to tell them that they fucked up so they are aware of their mistakes and get better. Im pretty sure i read somewhere that skz mentioned thats what they prefer anyways. Sure its gonna hurt, especially since so much heart and hope, and hardwork went into it, but if its not good, its okay to admit that and that goes for every relationship ever. And if they dont wanna listen, then, thats on them.

Im really loving all the reality checks on here recently and i havent even ranted on about "i like it" yet lmao

thank you baby!!!! and tbf, i think they could look good in absolutely any hair color or hair style. except i never want to see christopher in another fully-red moment again. his lil red highlights or whatever he had recebtly for the mv were cute, but i'm not here for the full red like leave that man alone 😭

i was talking to one of my moots about this a little bit, so i'm actually glad you brought it up... but idk it's kind of embarrassing(?) idk for me to talk about so please bear with me im queasy lol. i was never some like super spoiled-brat rich kid or anything, but growing up i would say my family was very well-off or privilged maybe? idk it's kind of awkward to talk about bc i don't want people to feel certain ways about me but yeah. i think when you are in that kind of position, it's so easy to not even realize how advantaged you are. like there's that mentality of "oh i'm such a hard worker and that's how i've gotten here" when really, as uncomfortable as it is to admit, you don't *actually* know how far you would've gotten if you'd done it ALL on your own. not relying on anyone else... and not knowing if "just you" is good enough is a veryyyy hard pill to swallow- aka why most people disregard their privilege even being brought into the equation. it's easier to just pretend it doesnt exist. hence, i guess, why we love to think of SKZ coming up from nothing... it's just so easy to fall into that trap. and i feel like even the skz members fall into that trap themselves

unfortunately, that is the biggest drawback of being a kpop idol. in a way, you can't even be your full self anymore. which is sad. like not only do you not have full control of your own music (which is supposed to be your livelihood), but you don't even have control over how you're perceived. i talk a lot ab how i wish i could hang out with the guys behind the scenes, just to see what they're REALLY like... and when you think about it, that's kind of sad. i consume so much SKZ content, but even with all of that, it's very apparent that we don't know how they are when the cameras cut off. everything we see of them is specifically controlled by their team... except for things like bubble ofc and we see what that has revealed to us about chris lol. it's just so sad, but then again, it's exactly what they signed up for. (bonus points to u for the twenty one pilots reference though my god how i love them)

it's definitely not healthy to tell someone that they're amazing and perfect in every way and agreebwith absolutely everything they say. that's not helping anything. there's obviously a lot of stays who felt uncomfortable with the song, but imagine if no one said anything??? like literally everyone was too scared to say it and everyone just went along with it. theyd have a whole new comeback w songs ab not fucking liking you and just wanting to fuck and shit 😭 which like, power to them, but stays would just be playing themselves at that point lol

haven't ranted on "i like it".... YET?!?! oh lord, i'm strapped in and ready 😭😭😭😂

[thestobingirlie]

A few days ago I sent a very ranty ask but I think it got lost and so i was kinda disappointed but also realized I was being a bit of a hater and cannot remember how coherent it was, so it's probably fine it got lost lol. However I was thinking about my little lost hater rant and why I dislike bg ron/ance in steddie fics and not bg steddie in other fics and realized like. Obviously it has to do with my dislike of the ship in general, which means the immense amount of legwork an author has to do for me to feel like Ron//anace actually makes sense for Robin and Steve AND Nancy can only be done in a rn focused fic, which I will not read, because I don't like the ship and even if they say in the tags stobin are bffs it is unlikely that they actually are in the way they deserve to be. (I think it always boils down to people devaluing the relationship stobin have with each other for the sake of a Romo ship, which other ships do but I think rn does it the most or at least the most glaringly)

I also touched on how for some reason sometimes they make Nancy this best friend type person for Steve or Eddie and have her really involved in their relationship or getting together but that's not who she is! I'm not a Nancy hater at all but she doesn't seem interested in the people she saves the world with unless they are saving the world or dating her. She doesn't seem interested in other people's dating lives. And having an ex, even if you ended things amicably (one could easily argue st//cy didn't) smirking about how you are your queer crush in 80's Indiana are so obvious would probably be incredibly uncomfortable. But steddie in like, lu-max or gen fics is just two of their friends dating and maybe a mention of homophobia or how they are kind of an unexpected couple given their archetypes, or how they bicker or something. Obviously they do have to work on their relationship but not to the gymnastic level ooc bending (in my opinion) degree of rn.

i love being a hater. it’s my favourite hobby.

but anyway! yeah, i think it’s interesting that it’s often r//nance that’s the background ship, when it takes a lot for the relationship to work. (obvs the reason this happens is just the way people neglect lesbian couples and prioritise mlm, but still)

like, as the characters are in s4, steddie could be paired off in the background, but i don’t think r//nance could be. (and yeah, no matter what people try to do in a r//nance fic, either stobin gets ignored, or nancy is a completely different character and stancy is a completely different relationship)

a lot of fics prioritise romance over friendship, and i think the reason people notice it more with r//nance fics, is just because of how close stobin are, and so how vastly different the dynamic has to become in fics

but yeah, people try to involve nancy in everyone and it’s like… you are dragging that girl by her ratty hair, she does not want to be friends with these people. i don’t think she hates them! but like you said, unless they’re dating, or actively saving the world, she has no interest in them (sometimes even when they’re dating she doesn’t have much interest lmao).

i could see her getting involved in others relationships, but not out of like, kindness. i think she would just be nosy, and i do not think steve would take that well. and, honestly if anyone made snide comments about how obvious my queer crush was, i would stop talking to that person, let alone if they were my ex.

[lovecatsys]

okay I don't expect anyone to rb this but u can if u want this is just a lil mini rant abt David now that I've read Academy X

When I first started reading New X-Men I was like huh this is Not the David I know but now that I've gotten through all of his major character development I think I really Get where Gillen was coming from with him and think he actually got David right. I don't agree with David being attracted to Teddy or Colossus even though Gillen seems to think that's his Type (it's not, his type is asshole speedsters lmao. Kieron, could you by chance be, projecting? Mayhaps?) and like. If I was going to make any of the OG 12 queer I would have done Brian, the most obvious answer, but he got killed off too quickly for that to happen lol. But it's okay because David is a bi icon now and we love that for him.

I do find it a little strange that he and Tommy got along so well at first after what Nori did to him, but hey, who's to say he didn't even realize how similar they were? and given the long time period between YA 2 and when Tommy and David were confirmed to be together, I think it's safe to say that David may have forgiven her, or at least gotten over her enough to overlook the similarities between her and Tommy by that time.

But yeah... since then the only thing I've really liked for David was Gillen's Thinkfast pride story and the voices infinity one focused on Tommy. The rest... it's either crumbs where they're just reduced to "Nerd boy and asshole bf" or its... Williams' X-Factor.

The biggest problem, obviously, with X-Factor was the Hatecrime. That was not Leah's story to tell, and of course it's been so long now that if David gets to be big in anything it's unlikely it will be acknowledged. Which it SHOULD BE. Now that she did that, we HAVE to acknowledge it in his story because that isn't something that David should just be able to walk away from. Ignoring it or pretending it didn't happen, at this point, just isn't okay.

My other main criticism with Williams' David is that, well... along with many of her other characters in this book, he's pretty much reduced to a memey, one dimensional, fragment of what he has been in the past. He's "Distinguished bi nerd boy" which... that has never been David, that has never been who he is.

I think David working in investigation is very interesting and obviously his powers are very useful for that, but I wish we could bring back David working in combat, because friendly reminder, he has the fighting skills of everyone he's ever come into contact with, even when he had lost his powers, after the Cuckoos gave him everything back, he could fight like fucking Wolverine, he had all of Kitty's ninja training in him. and now he has even more than that. He's incredibly skilled in hand to hand combat, and he's also just, beyond useful and powerful in so many ways.

Anyways. to wrap this up. Idk how long Gillen is going to stay with the X books but I wish he would write David again. I wish David was in something big, or long enough to be interesting, I wish he was on a team, maybe even leading a team. He was such a great leader for the New Mutants Squad? He didn't even have powers or the knowledge he had before losing them when he helped his team take down FUCKING NIMROD??? HELLO?? He should be so much more relevant than he is right now.

[ess-presso]

Just to add on to the american fic writers discussion,,, how would these people even know if the writer was american? Like ofc if you know them on other social media then you might know, but if you're literally just reading a fic on ao3 and assuming the writer is american bc they write 'favorite' instead of 'favourite' then. buddy. i've got news for you. For a lot of people in fandom, english is a second language. And *most* esl people, unless making a conscious effort to learn British English, will pick up and use mostly American English, bc that's just more widespread. We grow up on american movies, watch american youtubers, read books that come from america for the most part. american hegemony babyyyyy

So these people should keep in mind that when they're 'accusing' someone of not writing in proper british english, they might literally be asking someone to write in a specific dialect of their second or even third language. And then they should think about how many foreign languages they know, and if they can switch between dialects in them :))

(And all this is not even considering the fact that it's ridiculous to be mad about this at literally anyone, including american writers lmao. like. it's not that serious.)

no literally , everything you said. every single word.

how would YOU know they're American ? maybe they're from another country , where American English is used alongside the national language. kind of presumptuous to assume there is only two groups of people in this fandom ( Americans and brits)

for me personally , english is like my fifth language. and I know British English because I live in England. but if not for that , I'd probably be using American English too , and I would go nuts if people were getting on me because of that. like let's see your arse try to balance several languages at once and also being asked to learn a specific dialect of one. say I was American , not British. you'd be asking me to write a specific dialect of my fifth language. do you even know how smart I am in all my mother tongues ? I'd use all of them to cuss those bastards out.

also when people get on things like 'semester' or the one I see all the time 'high School' because British people don't say 'high School'. news flash you dirty fuckers - some secondaries literally have 'high school' in their names. the one I went to did. and as a brit , I'd refer to 'high school' in my writing. and if anyone tried to correct me , I'd go absolute ape shit and start threatening to fuck some mums. like the NERVE. the absolute nerve to ask someone to do that. like gentle corrections in dms or ask boxes is one thing but the shit I've seen on twitter and the self-entitlement MY LORD. and the thing is that whoever started the whole tirade wasn't even British. so I'd like to see them write a marauders fic , and then I'LL be the judge of how good it is.

(that person was yapping on about how no one ever talks about class systems in England or anything. like girlie is this like Charles dickens or something what the fuck ?? no one HAS TO do anything ???)

anyways sorry I went on a rant these people are arseholes to the max and any American/ non brit fic writers keep trucking on and ignore the arsholes x

[ashxketchum]

Hi just curious about these koumi L's you mentioned, all I've seen are W's (pixiv, tri and the ending of 2020 say hi) hate to break it to you but Mimi is practicaly the little sister Matt never had which parallels Koushirou practically being the younger bro Tai never had, prettty sure mimato never even crossed kakudou's mind once during the og, anyway, everyone should continue to ship what they like canon or fanon

HI WORSTIE 😍

Glad you guys are curious about something since reading comprehension runs low on your side of the fandom!!! That Koumi L comment was directed at the shipper making an absolute irrelevant ruckus in the replies of the original post, dragging not just Mimato but every other Mimi ship and some more. It was not directed at the hsip itself. But clearly you failed to understand that, just as all other Koumi shippers fail to understand basic decency and decorum that a fandom needs to maintain in order to follow: "everyone should continue to ship what they like canon or fanon".

Your dear ship's event mod is running around leaving weird comments on other ship week's content, and if you feel like chalking up one incident to benefit of the doubt, then do you wanna talk about this ⬇️

The dates for Mishiro Week (who tf even calls this ship that 🤣) are the exact same dates for Michi Week and then the mod is saying "because we're jealous of other weeks" (- that being a motivation to hold an event and not the fact that you cherish these two characters and their relationship enough to celebrate it is a lil sus in itself🫣 -) clearly implies that they want to one-up another Mimi ship even though Michi Week announced their dates well in advance? You're talking about keeping things peaceful in the fandom, but maybe you should preach that to your own choir first!!!

And it's just your luck that you could've chosen anyone in the Mimato fandom to send your silly rant to but you chose me 🥹🫶🏻 The one person on this hellsite who has done their PhD in Digimon Adventure Tri, certified by Toei Animation themselves lmao 😇

Where do I even begin!!!

Content on a fanwork site Pixiv is considered a Win?? Then all the Mimato/Michi/Jyoumi/Taishiro/Koukari/Koura fanart on all fanworks sites are a Win too? Is that the logic you were going for, awww thank you 🫶🏻

And then let's talk about TRI! The series where Koushiro is checking Mimi out 24x7 like an object, he calls her egotistical/self centered for acting impulsively to save a friend - using the same wording that the mean girls in festival committee use (bully alert 🚨, he doesn't even apologise for doing that btw 🚩), only then shows up to stare at her in a cheerleader uniform, ignores all the concern that she shows for him despite him being rude to her and Meiko both and ends up having way more chemistry with Takeru throughout the series (KouKeru my beloveds 😍).

But it's important to mention the guy who does take a W for Mimi in Tri, JOU KIDO!!! He accepts Mimi for who she is, doesn't criticise her actions, understands that her aggressive love is filled with nothing but pure intentions, uplifts her mood when she needs it the most and showers her words of affirmation that eventually lead to Palmon's mega evolution. And for that he deserves a big squishy hug, which he gets from Mimi 🥰 Honourable mention for taking W's for Mimi in Tri will also go to Meiko, she becomes her ride or die in such a short time of knowing her because she sees Mimi for the kind soul that she is. She also deserves a hug, and she gets it from Mimi too 🥰

In Tri we also see Mimi refer to Taichi and Yamato as handsome (and she does ask Koushiro if he's interested in her cause she's cuter, man for someone with a lot of brains he sure does care only about her looks!🚩) She starts recording TaiYama the minute they get into that Ferris wheel, she and Taichi walk a lot of places together don't they, she and Meiko share a meal with Taichi and Yamato in the Odaiba Onsen must I go on ~ Please do a full rewatch to see how Koushiro proves he's not a good match for Mimi in Tri with his ficklemindedness~

Next up: The Reboot, my other lovechild, I kid you not worstie, me and the Reboot writers share the exact same braincells, like legit, in the entirety of the series run, the most worthwhile Koumi hint they gave was them sitting in a Garage together at the end 🤣 The amount of quality time she spent with Taichi on the other hand, chef's kiss, and the instant bonding with Jou where she could tease him from the minute they met, WOW A BIGGER CHEF'S KISS 😘

THE SIBLING PARALELL -omg where my Taishiro shippers at, will you guys take this slander sitting down? 😭

Listen worstie, Taichi and Yamato do not require sibling parallels because *news flash* THEY HAVE SIBLINGS WITH WHOM THEIR RELATIONSHIPS ARE FLESHED OUT THROUGHOUT THE SERIES LOL. And I also love love LOVE how you didn't hesitate to call Mimi a sibling coded friend for Yamato, especially when 99% of the fandom is telling Mimato shippers that Yamato and Mimi don't interact 🤣 Mimato haters please pick a struggle, are there no Mimato interactions in the series or are there so many interactions that we can safely conclude Mimi is the sister Yamato never had 🥹👉🏻👈🏻 *Takeru has left the chat*

As far as Kakudou's concerned, neither of us are mind readers so why even try and assume which ship crossed his mind and which ship didn't? Did you just add this comment because you thought it'd make you sound all edgy for knowing the staff's name or assuming you understand the thought process that went into making this series? If you did understand the latter, you wouldn't be in my inbox 🫶🏻

So anyway when you're done rewatching the actual series, you can come back to my inbox annnnyyytimeee, maybe even have the courage to be off anon who knows you might learn a thing or two from Taichi 🧡🧡🧡

Stay safe out there, idiocy is very contagious in this fandom 😷

[carronpatrick]

Alright, I have a chance to rant. I have held back for MONTHS, allowing the two of you to abuse and gaslight my best friend and someone I consider a sister, so. Enough is enough.

This will be very long as I am very agitated, lmao. Read if you want or fuck off if you want, I genuinely don't care either way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Act your damn ages already.

First off, if you want me to tag you (or would you prefer me refer to you like you do when you talk shit "you know who you are") I will, happily. You want transparency, let's do it.

Second. In no way is sending death threats okay. I don't even know if her followers did it to you or y'all are just that crazy to send anonymous hate to yourselves for attention, but even fake, it's wrong.

Next, misgendering someone because you're pissy is a childish, ignorant choice, and it is also wrong. Whoever did it, you should seriously be ashamed and take a long look at yourself and do better.

I am in no way condoning any of the hate, real or fake, being sent back and forth. Or the stalker behavior, racist remarks, and absolute absurd disrespect for someone who tried very hard to be your best friend.

-----

In case it's not clear, I fully take Ash's side. (@thevampywolf for those who don't know, that's what I call her.) There's no debate happening, no one will sway my decision. I gathered the facts (yes, those pesky things you conveniently ignore when you're trying to make your own point) and she is not in the wrong here. Period. I've asked third parties who have no idea of the situation, they have ALL agreed with me here.

You say she should "make an official post because right now it sounds really bad on (her) end". She owes y'all absolutely dick diddly.

I have just had enough and while Ash doesn't need one single damn person to defend her, she deserves to be defended and I've held my tongue for long enough. The bullshit needs to stop already.

-----

This all started because you and Ash were best friends. And then you got back/together with your girlfriend (who is now boyfriend, yes, but at the time was identifying as a female, that's why I said girlfriend) and started treating Ash like absolute shit. You commissioned work from her and she delivered, with promises you'd pay her when you got paid, after this drama episode with your roommate, you're helping your s/o through stuff, now they're helping you, now you've just gotta get paid again, oh wait, next holiday, etc. It's been almost half a year. You have your own housing at college and a job. You went out drinking for your birthday. You pay for your own food and clothes and those concert tickets and merch you got. She is not being a bitch to ask you for the payment you verbally/electronically promised in form of a commission.

However, you immediately saw red because HOW DARE she stand up for herself and actually make you follow through and keep your word. Le gasp. It's almost like she's being an adult, wow. And yes, there's also the $60 perfume that you've been holding hostage and gave to your dad to send off. Anyway. Ash asked you, before ending all contact with you, for what you OWE her, and you got pissy and you and your former girlfriend, now boyfriend, (I believe they go by he/him/they/them. If I am wrong, please correct me and I'll fix it.) started talking shit.

If you truly don't want any ties with Ash, you'd send the package you've been keeping from her (not hand it off to your dad and refuse to take accountability for it) and pay her what you owe and stop bringing her up on your numerous blogs and insinuating that she's being a bad person. Don't sit there, hiding behind your keyboards, playing the blame game and being absolute cunts. Grow up. Shame on you.

Ash owes zero explanation, to anyone, for YOUR shitty behaviors or the shitty behaviors of her followers. She's not "condoning the hate as well". That's on y'all and them. I realize you don't apparently have an actual mother figure (your posts, your words - not mine), but she's not responsible for anyone but herself and isn't anyone's mother.

------

Ironic how y'all become racist, vile, disgusting, bitter, and petty people when you think no one's looking. But then try to twist the situation and make it seem like it's someone else in the wrong.

For context if anyone is wondering, here's some of what was said and then deleted, this is just from yesterday. Note the tag you added, targeting Ash. She has not named y'all yet, she literally last even had your initial on her blog on December 4th, in this post where someone else brought you up.

But anyway, onto what actually started the drama today.

There's so much to unpack, but like. How fucking racist and unacceptable. Imagine being so fucking obsessed with someone that you have to attack them over fake names for fake children in fictional stories with your girlfriend and "burst their bubble". Can't relate. The only reason I can imagine is bitterness, jealousy, immaturity, or maybe you're just that hateful, idk. This is just your vitriol from today. You've both sent hate asks to Ash and said nasty, horrid things.

Let's address the underlying racism. First, Han absolutely can pronounce Clementine. He's fluent in English. Just because a three syllable word is too difficult for you to say, doesn't mean everyone else is the same. It's a simple word, a common one, is a name of characters in very popular media (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Walking Dead, there's an entire children's book series about a little girl named Clementine of the same name, just for example) and isn't exclusive to only English born speakers.

Secondly, there are literally Korean clementines!! They have multiple kinds - Gam Gyul, Hanrabong, Cheon Hye Hyang... I did a very quick search and found them. Ignorance is not an excuse here.

Third, why do you just assume all the international /foreign boys who your American girlfriend has wet dreams and dirty fantasies about - and writes and publishes filthy kink stories about and even SAID could be with her, dressing up for Halloween as a matching couple one day (yes, I have the screen shot, lmao) - will only be with Korean women and would never date outside their race? And they must name their children Korean names? That's just. Wow. So incredibly racist and ignorant.

Eric Nam, Christian Yu, Chrystal Soo Jung, Joshua Hong, Vernon, Jay Park, Rosé, Jennie, Gray, Jessi, FELIX LEE AND CHRISTOPHER BAHNG FOR FUCKS SAKE are all apparently not real Koreans. 🤔 How dare they have English names! And all those Koreans who decide they want their own English names, how DARE they.

Y'all can delete the posts and try to place blame on anyone else but you still did it and I saw and screenshot it all. The comment and how you hearted each racist post, too. Guess we know how you two really feel about the boys and Asians in general, huh.

-----

Ash has had both of you blocked for quite a while now. I remember the day she did it. So, y'all may wanna make it seem like Ash is contacting you constantly and reaching out, but you're delusional. She literally has both of you blocked on Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, etc. She only allows you on one social, Snap and that's because you owe her money. She doesn't contact you otherwise. So to go out of your way to stalk her blog and socials and fucking emoji tag, even, is just. Wow.

She has tried, over and over, has given chance after chance after chance (despite being told to cut ties and adandon ship because you're hopeless as a friend and you'll never change your horrible behavior) and went to you saying things along the lines of "hey, if you don't wanna be friends anymore, please just let me know and I'll stop messaging you and let you be" and despite ghosting her like a child instead of facing her like the adult you criticize everyone else for not being, you immediately say things along the lines of "omg I'm soooo sorry, I'll fix it, I didn't mean to do that, of course I wanna be friends!"

But then, surprise, you never change or do better. And you CONTINUE to blame it on anyone and anything else. She realized just how toxic, childish, and wretched you both are, and decided instead of spewing nonsense, to block you and try to end the friendship as quickly as possible. And instead of realizing your mistakes and shitty behaviors, you decided to be ignorant twats online.

I mean, I knew y'all were immature but damn, that's just sad. Ash is living rent free in your heads and it's just absolutely pathetic. I just. You're both so ugly inside, you have to (try to) tear down anyone who disagrees with you or doesn't let the two of you abuse and walk all over that them...

-----

You constantly act like a victim on here. When you get no interaction for a while, suddenly you have an influx of anonymous "hate" (that's written exactly how you type, interestingly enough) despite saying you're going to turn off the fucking feature in the first place. Either you're so desperate for any attention, you're willing to get the hate and thrive in the negativity, or you're just a liar.

You are a jealous, petty, immature bully who sends people anonymous hate to stir the pot. You're so emotionally stunted, you terrorize and poison the very few people who actually want the best for you (fun fact, not someone who enables you and just agrees with everything you say blindly) and want to care for you - and then tell anyone who will listen that it was their fault for leaving once you've ghosted them for months on end. It's never your own fault because you can't accept responsibility for your actions and fucked up behaviors.

-----

If the people who follow you two or Ash knew how horrible you truly are, they'd abandon ship as soon as possible. And they should, cause if they're not careful, they'll be your next victims.

And it's just very sad and honestly, I feel sorry for you. I truly hope you go to therapy and one day grow up and act your age. I, personally, go to therapy since my suicide attempt at 16, and it's fantastic. It doesn't make you broken or something bad. It's something you (and many people for that matter) very obviously need in an attempt to heal whatever has fucked you up so much and I hope you don't have to hit rock bottom to reach out to an actual psychiatrist like I did.

I'm not saying this to be cruel or snide or cutting. This is genuine. You deserve to feel better about yourself and your family and friends. You deserve peace, even if you don't act like you deserve it. I'll pray for you - but as you pretend your boyfriend is God and blaspheme regularly, I'm not sure you'll appreciate the sentiment. I'm still doing it, regardless.

Also, this will sound cunty, but you need to hear it. I realize the blog is deleted and you've deleted the posts but.

Stop glorifying and blaming others for your suicidal desires and tendencies. Being suicidal is not a quirky personality trait, it's a sickness and needs to be taken care of by an actual doctor, not smothered with sex and bitterness and memes.

-----

And now, bring on the hate anons and bullshittery. I've so very suddenly been blocked (then unblocked so I'm just not following anymore) and unfriended as some anons came in. Interesting how that happens. 🤔

-----

Edit: I mistakenly put Lisa (who is Thai) and Mark Tuan (who is Taiwanese-American) under the Koreans with 'English' names. I apologize, sincerely, for my dumbness. 😅 And thank you very very much to the anon who pointed it out cause I'd have never realized it. 🫣

[kittykatkatelol]

I was just reading through one of my friends discord server messages and for fucks sake I'm just *why* why does the stupidest shit need to become a confrontation.

Long post warning, it is just a rant lmao

I'm self diagnosed AuDHD - my therapist and doctors agree I have clear signs of both, and it that I don't really have a real need to actually get diagnosed, since I don't go to school or anything like that - so it would just be a big hassle for nothing really beneficial.

I am pretty dead on discord, I don't talk to people, I don't participate in servers, I just kind of lurk. I only have a discord account bc I friend (that I am no longer am friends with) wanted to video chat and just never deleted the account.

But anyways, my friend, let's call them A, owns the server and has been professionally with autism. They do not know I am self diagnosed.

Someone recently joined A's server, and did an introduction (as people do), and happened to mention they were self diagnosed. A makes a post in the mods only section (which I am a part of for some reason) to say that if anyone one else was offended by the 'self diagnose' thing this random person put in their intro, what should we do about it.

Boy can I tell you I was pissed as I read through multiple people saying that SD was bullshit and was making autism just a trend and that this person should be removed from the group.

I didn't say anything as I just don't want to be part of this bs and cause any unnecessary confrontation between a bunch of people I don't know.

But honestly, I'm kind of hurt that my friend (A) sided with them and said that SD was bs and offensive to the actually professionally diagnosed.

My personal option- IF ITS NOT CAUSING REAL HARM OR ISSUES, WHY THE FUCK ARE WE TRYING TO MAKE AN ISSUE OF IT?!

This person has done nothing besides say they are SD (which shouldn't even be an issue), they haven't rubbed it in people's faces, they haven't caused any drama or ANYTHING- just exist.

I'm just pissed that this person may be kicked from the server after literally being questioned by the mods if they are autistic or not. Pissed that there is going to be unnecessary drama and conflict FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

feel free to ignore this, I just needed to get this out.

The friend (A), doesn't use Tumblr so they hopefully should never see this-

[fasterthanmydemons]

Here are a few potential scenarios for Pietro + the Gotg lmao.

And nobody is canceling you Silence!! Hahaha omfg, only an idiot would ‘kill the messenger’. You get into your characters so you write a really good Pietro and if he says something stupid and accidentally makes Mantis feel guilty for what her father did, it’s not your fault. I am a HUGE Mantis fan and I’m not upset. Maybe anyone who got 'upset’ was because they wanted these two to *smash* LMFAOOO. Like there’s BugBorg (Nebula is a cyborg), FrostBug (Loki is a frost giant), Drax and Mantis even though it’s canon they aren’t attracted to each other and have like a father-daughter thing, but still, I guess their ship name would be DestroyerBug and… with Pietro??? FastBug? QuickBug? SpeedBug? NyoomBug? SilverBug? IDKK but like, it’s okay if they don’t get along all the time.

The timeline is important too, this is RIGHT AFTER CIVIL WAR so they’re both still growing as characters. They’re gonna fuck up. LET THEM BE FRIENDSS LET THEM ARGUE AND HAVE MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND BE FRIENDS UGH. I’m a fan of shipping myself but like, characters can also be friends.

I can’t speak for all the Mantis fans but what truly upsets me is people ignoring the character and being racist against the actress, I’ve read comments like “howww can she be Ego’s daughterr he’s played by Kurt Russell and he is white and she is Asiannn!!!!” Like dude, the actress is half-white half-Korean! She could absolutely be Kurt Russell’s daughter. But again… they aliens 😭 And when they call her 'useless’ because she’s not tough in a Gamora way or in a Nebula way… but she’s strong in a Mantis way, she’s strong as hell?!?!??!????? Not to mention she is literally the “Celestial Madonna” in the comics, there was like this prophecy about “the perfect woman” who will give birth to a figure known as the “Celestial Messiah”. And the Celestial Madonna had to be either Wanda, Agatha Harkness or Mantis. And it was MANTIS! SHE IS IMPORTANT AS FUCK??????? And she’s a Celestial in the MCU already soo those who say she’s useless should 🤐🤐

Sorry for this little rant. I’m not Mantis mun btw I’m just a fan of Mantis. I get upset when people do this kind of stuff but you seem to like Mantis (even if you didn’t, that would be ok, it’s the disrespect and even blatant racism sometimes, that’s gross af) so don’t worry, Pietro clashing with Mantis is not what offends me it’s literally the bigots but you ain’t one of them.

Keep up the good work 🥰

__________

{out of breath} Oh, I know! It was a joke, I know I’m not being canceled. I just thought it was funny the amount of backlash I got for “hurting that precious cinnamon roll.” It’s funny to me because... I’m not my muse? I didn’t hurt her, Pietro did, hahaha. And secondly, I love how all these Mantis fans suddenly came out of the woodwork messaging me to be like HEY... HEEEEY... DON’T HURT OUR BUG GIRL. I love Mantis, and I felt bad that she got hurt, but eh, these things will happen when you get someone who talks before he thinks like Pietro.

As far as shipping Pietro and Mantis.... *shrugs* I feel like there’s some attraction there, certainly on Pietro’s end, but the longer they interact, the more I feel like a full on ship is just not going to work for them. Mantis-mun can add their two cents here if they want, but... yeah, especially on Mantis’ end, I feel like it wouldn’t work, personality-wise. As in, their personalities clash too much. And really, both characters have a lot of unresolved issues and demons, and whereas other ships have demons that are actually complimentary to each other, or have ways of dealing with them that actually help the closeness and involvement of the other muse, Mantis and Pietro tend to push each other away with their demons. What I mean is... what comforts Pietro, makes Mantis uncomfortable, and vice versa. There’s nothing wrong with that at all, conflict in rp is fun and interesting, but to me it kindof makes a ship impossible. A romantic one, anyway. Friendship and being like... cooperative and supportive teammates? I feel like those are possible with some effort and time, for sure. *punts to Mantis-mun if I’ve said anything completely wrong here, heh*

And omg, I had no idea Mantis was so important in the MCU?! I still need to watch all the Thor/GotG movies. I’ve got some personal hangups I need to push through to do all of that, and lately with work and family stresses keeping me pretty run down, I just haven’t been willing to watch things that I know will trigger me and make me sob, heh. But I really do intend to watch them, I’m not just saying that. I just have to wait for a time when I feel a bit stronger emotionally. I’m guessing after the holiday season, during my break from work. That might be a good time to try and get through them all. Although I do wanna watch the Xmas special with Mantis and the giant candy cane, like... I NEED to see that because CUTE. Also, for Teeturtle fans, I saw this the other day on their site and it’s? So cute? I might die of cuteness overload? If you’re interested in buying it, you can here:

I MEAN LOOK AT THAT, HOW DO YOU HOLD ONTO YOUR SHIT LOOKING AT THIS PURE ADORABILITY?!

Eh-hem. XD I actually wanna buy it so badly but I feel I really can’t since I haven’t seen anything and haven’t earned it with my fan efforts, heh. Although... I have Grogu shirts and I haven’t seen a single episode of that either. He just looks like Gizmo and I’m an 80s child, so I jumped in and accepted the cuteness. Maybe I should do the same with Mantis, because I know I already love her just from the little I’ve seen. XD

Also ugh, I had no idea that people were racist towards Pom. T^T Noooo she’s such a good actress, people stop being crappy. Can’t we all just get along? I’ve loved her in MCU things, the Oldboy remake, and Black Mirror. I feel like I’ve seen her in something else too but it escapes me right now. She’s gorgeous and extremely talented. People need to calm down and be kind.

I do like Mantis! =) She’s visually very cute, I love her character design, but beyond that... she intrigues me. She’s very deep and complicated, and that’s speaking my language as a writer. I don’t feel I could ever write her myself, that’s just a sense I get. There are several characters I know I can’t get right for whatever reason, but I still love them. Besides, I don’t need to write her because Mantis-mun does an AMAZING job of that already. ^_^

I guess we’ll see how things pan out for Pietro and Mantis... and Rocket too, haha!
