[skrunksthatwunk]

so a thing that my brain does on the reg is it makes me get nervous about a scenario (ranging from probably-won't-happen to Definitely-Won't-Happen) and then i have to spend like 40 minutes meandering my way through an improv youtube apology video until my brain feels like I've addressed the scenario about as well as i can and lets me move on. usually this comes in the form of like

you accidentally said a forbidden slur (i.e. one i can't reclaim) while streaming/in a group conversation and now have to explain that your brain misfired catastrophically hard and that you've never said this word before (true) And You Have To Do It Well Enough To Be Believed

because like. i wouldn't believe that guy either, y'know? most people in that situation just cross that bridge when they get to it and do pretty bad, so maybe my brain is trying to help prepare me via interrogation. my point is that i spend a lotta my spare time pacing in my bathroom fending off theoretical murder charges (which are either phony OR true OR a secret third thing depending on the day).

as soon as i woke up this morning my brain gave me a new one:

what if people accuse you of faking your (middling) knowledge of french? and also you're a celebrity and have to prove it by speaking french live on a talk show or something.

which like. good morning to you too, brain. the first thing i did was (slowly, mediocrely) construct an appropriately indignant sentence in my head (i haven't used french since my ap exam like a month ago) and then

BUT WHAT IF PEOPLE THINK SOMEONE FED ME THE LINE

ok we'll have the audience write in questions live

WHAT IF THEY STILL THINK IT'S RIGGED AND ALSO WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE ASKING ((<- LIKELY AND UNCHARACTERISTICALLY ROOTED IN LIVED EXPERIENCE!!!)) WHICH WOULD PROBABLY MAKE IT WORSE

girl that's The Most i can do what do you want from me.

and then once i woke up more i had a realization in that blasted out, quiet way—like an astronaut drifting away from their ship untethered, forever. that

the prognosis of taking american public high school language courses is to remember jack shit (pardon my french). it's a classic babe it's near universal. we all know we don't know.

Babygirl, (And I Cannot Express This Enough,) No One Is Ever Going To Make You Speak French Live In ~5-40 Years To Prove You Took It In High School. Go Back To Sleep. there's only like two scenarios you can think of ever where that happens and there's like a 70+% chance you can just say no or ignore it. what a weird thing to fake in the first place too who would even accuse you of that.

anyway sometimes being a citizen of Braintown is funny and not exhausting in a kind of sad clown way but it's usually just kind of awful. something something c'est la vie

Is it 4 am when I posted this, yes. Do I car. No. Get attacked with my draft about some things about some of the specters I find neat! If anything I say in this post is wrong, or could have something added to it I would LOVE feedback, I’m still getting the hang of long form posts lol

Anywho! Most of my point here are going to be from either Wikipedia or someone else’s post. I have really bad memory so if I say something that seem familiar to a post you or someone you know made then people mention it and I’ll tag them!

First specter I’m gonna talk about is Eulalie’s.

Eulalies specter, as show, is a chimera, more specifically a Baku!

Baku’s are “Japanese supernatural beings that are said to devour nightmares”. Which explains Eulalie dreameating and possibly also the dispeller of evil spirits ability

Another fact I found interesting is that in a legend about the Baku “a child would wake up form a nightmare and call for the Baku by repeating “Baku-San, come eat my dream” three times. Then the Baku will come into the child’s room and eat the nightmare and the child will go back to sleep peacefully. However calling the Baku should be used sparingly, because if they remain hungry after eating a nightmare they may also devour the child’s hopes and dreams as well.”

Im not to sure if that is relevant to Eulalies character at all but I felt like it was worth adding!

Another thing that many have pointed out is that the markings of Eulalies arms resemble burn marks. Along with the fact that after using her dispeller of evil spirits ability she coughs a flame of fire.

Next specter I wanna talk about is Bernice’s!

I don’t have too too much to talk about with her specter, just some bits and bobs I picked up on rereads

Bernice’s specter in one of my favorites, just because of the fact it’s similar to a self defense mechanism for lack of a better term. Basically what I mean by that is the things she list is death her specter has a large amount of, and another things. Which leads me to the mouths.

The mouths, to me, are extremely interesting. If i remember correctly I read this on a post so credit or op even though I can’t remember who it was 😭. But the placements of the mouths on her specter could be the places she was touched without consent and/or inappropriately. The mouths seem to work as a self defense to her body, biting at whoever comes near on their own. Proctecting those spot of her.

Another thing about her design is the focus on teeth. First then her death and her teeth falling out, and on her specter, with the large teeth on the extra mouths. This association comes from the Edgar Allen Poe story she was based on, Bernice. If you haven’t read it I will spare you you read and put the wiki summary here

“The story is narrated by Egaeus, who is preparing to marry his cousin Berenice. He tends to fall into periods of intense focus, during which he seems to separate himself from the outside world. Berenice begins to deteriorate from an unnamed disease until only her teeth remain healthy. Egaeus obsesses over them. When Berenice is buried, he continues to contemplate her teeth. One day, he awakens with an uneasy feeling from a trance-like state and hears screams. A servant reports that Berenice's grave has been disturbed, and she is still alive. Beside Egaeus is a shovel, a poem about "visiting the grave of my beloved", and a box containing 32 teeth.”

Weird, i know. 😭

Another thing is her pearls. I couldn’t find any mentions of pearls in her story but she has a strange association with them. From them falling off during her death, her having many of them in her specter, and even her outfit in the fast pass episode (fast pass at the time of writing this but ep 126). I’m not to sure what this mean but i figured it throw it in!

Im think thats all imma do in this post, maybe if i find motivation ill make a reblog of this with Ada and Monty (if not Monty then Annabel)

Lately Ive seen some awful things about antis and haters making threats and getting artists banned from Tumblr and X. Im new to the Phandom and love pompep but Im scared i'll be targeted if I write and share pompep fics. How do you manage sharing your work so bravely?

Firstly, welcome to the Phandom—and especially Pompous Pep! I have a simple protocol for enjoying a drama-free Tumblr experience:

Preventative Action

1. Find your community. Follow other Pompep fans and supporters and reblog their things. Don't be afraid to leave nice tags; we love and welcome interactions :) You can also join the Pompep Discord server if you enjoy chatting (DM me for details).

2. Turn off anon asks. This will solve 99% of all potential problems, and you can turn it back on whenever you want. Antis are cowards who prefer to hide behind the mask of anonymity. They seldom have the courage to say something with their whole username.

3. Block the obvious haters. This is a big fandom, and at some point you're likely to come across people openly hating on pompep, either on their bio, pinned posts, or comments. Block them. For an added layer of protection, add their username to your Filtering Options.

4. Tag your work appropriately. When posting, make sure your work is tagged correctly (the #pompous pep tag is especially important) so people who like pompep can find it and those who want to avoid it can block the tag. Use Content Labels when applicable.

5. Try to avoid using the platonic tag (#badger cereal) and the romantic tag (#pompous pep) at the same time. Some fans are really touchy about this. I'm not, and I think there are legitimate cases where use of both is applicable, but if you want to minimize friction, just stick with one tag or the other.

If you're not sure which tag to use, ask yourself what your intentions are with your art or fic. Is the goal a romantic relationship? If so, use the pompep tag. If it's truly ambiguous and could be seen either way, use the platonic tag first. You can always add another tag like "okay to tag as pompep", just to let people know they can interpret it however they please.

Responsive Action

If the above guidelines aren't 100% effective, here's what you do:

1. Don't feed the trolls. If you receive any negative asks in your inbox, it's important to NOT engage with them. Delete them, ignore them, don't let them get to you. Antis thrive on attention, so let them starve. Eventually they'll move on when they realize they're not going to get a rise out of you.

The same goes for any negative comment left on your work. Just delete it, block the person who left it, and pretend it never happened.

These asks and comments may come in the form of questions. Example: "How can you ship Danny with Vlad? That's [insert gross accusation here]" Resist the urge to answer these questions. They are not made in good faith. This person just wants to start an argument.

2. Report any harassment. If by some chance you receive a seriously hateful ask, like threats of violence or abuse, take a screenshot for proof/safekeeping, then report the message and the user if they're not anonymous. If the ask is anonymous, use the meatball menu (•••) at the top right to report the message and block the anon.

Final Words

It takes time to develop a thick skin and Don't Give A Fuck attitude, but it can be done. You are a phan. You have every right to be here and enjoy this fandom in peace, just like everyone else. Anyone who believes in harassing others over silly things like which cartoon characters should be allowed to kiss clearly has nothing better to do with their life. The sooner you shut them out, the happier you'll be.

Regarding media: Artists attract a lot more negative attention than writers for reasons I won't get into right now, but if you're mainly a writer, you will enjoy a much quieter fandom experience. Wherever you post your stories—I recommend AO3; DM me if you need an invite—follow the same advice there as I've given here: make sure your work is tagged correctly; support your fellow Pompep fans by reading and commenting on their works, building that community; moderate comments if you're concerned about negativity; block and mute users if they give you any trouble, and you'll enjoy a much more positive fandom experience.

There is strength in community. When you start making new fandom friends, you'll feel a lot less lonely, and that will give you the confidence you need to really have a good time here.

Wishing you the best, anon!

Hopes is also kind of a flaw in the regard of Shahid's own father not stopping his raid. Like, the king himself isn't stopping his prince son from attacking their neighbors. Also, Cyril really didn't seem to like him, and Claude ended up feeling bad about hearing from a former Almyran civilian himself that the king wasn't all that great of a dude. Like, I think it really put into perspective for Claude how his father is as a ruler, which I can see why Claude, as his son, might not have noticed (kinda like, it's your father so you don't think they could be all that bad but then you hear from someone else's experience).

Almyra is definitely an afterthought for IS though, which is very annoying when one of its central characters was born there and lived most of his life there. Also, I can't remember with total certainty, but didn't Judith say something about Claude having disappeared at some point during the timeskip? I recall thinking he must have gone back to Almyra or something at that time (maybe not the entire five years but I recall him being gone for some time from Fodlan)?

As far as foreign lands go (specificaly, how they treated the poc regions), it's kind of a mixed bag with this game. Duscur actually seems handled pretty well. Even the guys who aren't fond of Faerghus and are suspicious of Dimitri for being the prince (particularly in the paralogue) seemed to just be reacting in a very normal human way and being like I don't really trust this but they did help us so we can leave it like this for now. Following that, they helped Dedue to survive knowing he would return to Dimitri's side. They managed to evade the usual stereotypes, and I think that's part of why Duscur isn't as "fandom dead".

Brigid it's had to say a lot for because Petra's situation alone doesn't equal how we should see the nation as a whole. In fact, we hardly know anything about them. Specifically with Petra we do have the really awkward "why is Petra so close to Edelgard in CF/SB when she's still a political hostage who Edelgard has not officially freed", and the even worse "Petra basically said fuck you to Brigid (more strongly in SB via their A support) because she'd rather risk her life for Edelgard who still has not freed her or Brigid despite Edelgard saying she could go home (though the presumption is that Brigid would not be freed yet anyway)".

The whole Petra situation feels brainwashy and full of empty promises, but the writers just made her a huge Edelgard simp in SB and a lowkey simp in CF. Other than that, we really have nothing about Brigid itself. Even in the Houses paralogue, all we see is her getting reinforcements (either to fight alongside the Empire which feels uh, even more awkward, or to fight against the Empire). We don't learn anything about them, so we just have this weird Petra situation and some lore here and there and nothing else, really. No overall good or bad fandom perception.

Almyra is your local "brigand" location in a sense. They're the brutes who like to fight and don't seem to have any specific goal other than that, really. Obviously we know it's way worse in Hopes where they enjoy pillaging and invading, but the fact remains that Almyra is written in a very negative light, to the point where I tend to wonder why Claude even wants to make things friendly between Almyra and Fodlan other than because it's his home and he wants his homes to be friends (because if you take what canon gives us and use no headcanons at all, I can't imagine why Claude wouldn't just get out of there and never go back or even want to go back, let alone try to be king when it's evidently a very difficult task because his dad can't stop banging the ladies and has too many sons vying for the throne).

Verdane at least gets the pass of the usual brigand region but not stereotyping poc, so the fandom doesn't tend to feel as icky about it. It's also not just told to us that they're not all brigands, but shown through Jamka, Dia and King Batou. Technically if Jamka fathers any kids, there's also somewhat them too (I say somewhat because they didn't grow up there, but they do end up going to take back the throne and fix the land). Like, yeah, Verdane was created with a real world location in mind (as with the rest of the countries in Jugdral), but it took more basic inspiration. Almyra went a step further with culture included and even having poc characters, but made Almyra even worse than Verdane. Nader is basically our only known "good" Almyran character who still lives in Almyra. Hopes gave us one more and... whoops.

Personally I do think some of the fanon about Cyril and Claude is worth having because I think it would be good for Claude to be able to get a former civilian's full perspective on everything (rather than just Rhea and Claude's father). I do also think Claude shows a desire to protect Cyril and get people to trust him, so I don't think the fanon is entirely too far off. The whole "they're definitely bros" thing though is definitely headcanon because even if Claude wants the best for Cyril, they don't act like bros and are not very emotionally close.

Unfortunately of course this is because Almyra's reputation in Fodlan is pretty terrible, but then, what we are told as players is not much better and we basically see the same things the people from Fodlan see (especially in Hopes, which is supposed to the game to expand on Almyra more. I mean, it did expand it, certainly... but in the absolutely very wrong direction).

Fanon Almyra is also something I have to invest in with my fics, because everything we know about Almyra just points to it being a pretty awful place. Claude tends to say things that basically imply they're just people like anyone else, but he's the only person who indicates anything even remotely like that. Even Cyril doesn't paint it in a good light (i.e. it's not just people from Fodlan who paint it in a bad light), and the characters we do know from Almyra (bar Hopes) are either aggressive NPCs or Nader, who doesn't have much characterization going for him outside of liking to fight (which perpetuates part of the stereotype in canon) and being pretty chill otherwise.

In Hopes it's obviously worse, but even Nader, pre-six month timeskip where he suddenly became a brute for the worse who so badly wanted to pillage Faerghus and then brag about doing so (with the implication that he'd be congratulated by the Almyran people for doing so), was very hesitant to work with Shahid because all his comments about Shahid are negative, to the point he ends up betraying Shahid for Claude. So, the only other "good" guy we know (good in Houses, "good" in Hopes) reacts poorly to the other named Almyran character. As with Houses, the NPCs are meh.

The one NPC that did talk about pillaging more openly basically just said that they weren't allowed to do that and he just guessed that was the Alliance's rules. His tone wasn't angry or upset, so he didn't seem particularly bad as an individual, but his words being what they were do imply that fighting aggressively/pillaging is so ingrained into their basic culture that it's genuinely surprising to this NPC that it's not allowed in the Alliance. Could be a solid dude, sure... but what he implies is that it's standard Almyran behavior to attack, fight and pillage.

Houses doesn't give us anything as directly bad as that, but the various bits and pieces are... not good either. The fact that Hilda was shocked at Claude's story about what his father had done to him and how she exclaimed that that's basically torture is a powerful statement alone, but the way Claude acted about it made it seem like that's nothing out of the ordinary for Almyrans. If something Hilda equates to torture is just everyday life for Almyrans, that doesn't come across as a very normal, happy place.

hey random stop talking shit abt mayo and cucumbers i know exactly what you're getting at right there don't u do it (pro mayo and cucumber, mayo and cucumber for life)

As far as the narrative Claude believes about Rhea, that at least we (you and I lel) know is false. The problem with regular raids from Almyra is still an issue though, and enough so that pirates even can use their name and be believed. Like, no, the pirates aren't muddying Almyra's reputation or good name. They're just pirate-capitalizing on an already existing bad name. The fact that they even have the opportunity to do that is proof enough that it's that easy to say "Almyra is attacking again" and be immediately believed without question. That's not a good look for Almyra.

In Hopes, Lorenz is generally the only solid voice of reason who contests basically everything the narrative and story stands for. He does regularly voice his concerns and speaks up about better alternatives. Unfortunately this is just Hopes' way of saying "look we addressed it so you can't ask why nobody addressed it", because they still go through with the narrative and everyone shoots Lorenz down for everything he suggests aside from the "Almyrans can't pillage while fighting with our army" concept. Hopes addresses most things that are questionable via Lorenz, but he's like the only smart guy in a group of total idiots. ":( we don't wanna fight Edelgard bc she's our old classmate of like maybe a few months tops... :(... so let's go fight our old classmates not-Edelgard!!!" Lorenz, meanwhile: hey isn't that dumb?

Something I definitely noticed from the fandom is that in VW, fans don't just believe every single thing Claude ever says unless it specifically pertains to Rhea. And I don't mean every fan of VW/every huge Claude fan, but the fandom at large is like this. I've followed Joe Zieja for most of his post-Houses streaming career and have been in his server for very long periods of time (because it's sub based so sometimes I'm not in there since I'm not always resubbing because I just can't justify it financially every month since I'm not as active all the time), and I can tell you with absolute certainty that most of his viewers/followers despise Rhea (as does he), literally want her dead/to personally kill her themselves (not sure if he feels that way/is just joking for the streams, but he sure as hell hyped himself and the chat up for it in GW), and believe every single word that comes out of Claude's mouth about her (even though Claude doesn't know her even half as well as the people who, you know, have lived their whole lives in Fodlan, which... would've been a nice part of the game if they had Claude reflect on all those details. They kinda started to but then the game ended lmfao).

(Also I do not hate Joe Zieja by any means, and I am very fond of him! He's fun and very kind. I'm not saying he or his community are all inherently bad people and I've made plenty of friends there. I'm specifically saying that I've seen, time and time and time again that they (most of them) hate Rhea so much that they will believe any single negative narrative fed to them about her - even the fans who have played AM and should know better.)

I mean look at fanon Almyra. It's a way better place than in canon because fans looked at canon Almyra and realized how bad it is and didn't appreciate that the writing handled it that way (generally but also for "this is kinda racist" reasons).

Rhea though, forget it, everyone only drinks Nabatean Blood Tea unless you're a fan of AM (not just played it and ignored any full on factual information that didn't agree with your preferred narrative, where you saw Rodrigue having a flashback in his dying moments of Lambert being expectantly positive of their ongoing relationship with Duscur. But uh oh! Rhea BaD! So BaD that she's stopping foreign-- what? Lambert is dead? Must've been Rhea, to prevent him from forging those foreign relationships!!! ...No? It was TWS? Well... Well...!!! It made Rhea happy to find out!!! 'Cause no more foreign relations!!! ...What? She never tried to stop Lambert from making friends with foreign lands? Well...! WELL...!!! Rhea BaD anyway!!!)

As someone not religious and never having been, I think it's just totally bonkers how hard people project against churches.

Back to Almyra though, I can't really blame people for projecting to make it a better place. Just generally, as a human being, it makes me uncomfortable how IS would take a culture of people and just... make Almyra into what it is. Having Middle Eastern blood just makes it a little extra uncomfortable.

As for Claude saying so and not being made to reconsider, well, I guess we have his "support" if you can even call it that with Dimitri in Hopes, but the worst part is that, because Dimitri "challenged" his views (he didn't all that much really, and mostly warned him about what would happen, etc), Dimitri is seen by non-AM fans as a church simp of some sort, despite Dimitri specifically saying on his own route that he does not care for the goddess and does not feel positively about her.

Also unfortunately, most FE16 players evidently have zero sense of nuance and can't think for themselves, so if a character says it's true, they fully believe it without question and will believe any single thing a character ever says. I'm looking mainly at the Rodrigue haters who ignore his entire character/personality because Felix said uwu I hate him he's sooo mean. Those same people also missed the nuance of Felix not truly feeling that way, being an angry teenager and just trying to convince himself he feels that way... only to regret it as soon as his father dies.

Can you tell it still bothers/annoys me that so many people do that?

Anyway, obviously we know Almyra isn't the best place ever and is portrayed very poorly in both games, but it's a shame honestly. Canon is mostly ignored by the fandom because of the racist undertones it leaves and not so much because "Claude said so" in this case. It just leaves a bad taste in many people's mouths that the only poc location with a lord attached to it is inarguably the worst and most immoral of the foreign areas (i.e. the others don't have a lord hailing from them).

I just wish people would stop pushing the whole Rhea BaD agenda and using Almyra to do so, because they have literally nothing to do with each other. Rhea brought Cyril into her care but she has nothing to personally do with Almyra, for or against. She lets Leicester deal with them how they see fit, thus letting them rule how they see fit and not interfering, just like how Faerghus was left to its own devices with its surrounding lands.

Do you feel like the fandom has a sort of bigotry of low expectations attitude towards Almyra? Like Rhea is literally satan for not teaching Cyril to read (even though she didn't know he couldn't) but Almyra, where he lived during the time in his life where most kids are learning to read, doesn't get any flack for not educating it's children. And that's on top of treating the whole "ignoring the orphans you create in your raids for funzies until you can use them in your raids for funzies" as not a big deal at best and something Cyril needs to get over so he can embrace his Almyran heritage at worst.

Hm...

I didn't interact with khalidstan side of the fandom, a friend gave me a few links and I clicked, blinked, and they immediately returned lol.

Almyra in fandom in general is... a short summary of what Fodlan's issue is, and the need to use copious amounts of headcanons or to project real life events on the two lines given because 10k years of lore means we still don't know the name of Claude's dad or why the fuck he isn't stopping the raids.

And in a way, I can't really say it's undeserved, to project so much, because we all like to see something new, and something "not often seen" in jrpgs, Almyra's aesthetic was so heavily inspired by real world locations, so of course people wanted to know more about it than about "random medieval european land #8854" and...

Well. The game doesn't say a lot about Almyra, it is mentionned about, someone you are supposed to see as a protagonist with knowledge about this land says some good stuff about it and... that's it!

(at least it wasn't the utter disappointment Hyzante was in TS, because that's another can of worms, but given the "aethetic" picked for the ultra religious people who justify everything by their religion that is actually false and controlled by an old fart using a puppet, and who also enslaves people, and has no redeeming quality bar its last survivor being a Mother (tm) who apparently knows some medicine - let's say this portrayal would have fit well with the early 2000s depictions of a certain religion and its followers in the real world).

So for this new and "exotic" (i fucking hate that word) country, of course people wanted to know more... and when the "more" showed that IS didn't move from the Kaga era with Persia = Verdane, well.

Some people, who really wanted to be invested in Almyra (maybe projecting a lot about it) were disappointed, and had to basically create fanon!Almyra from the few breadcrumbs we got - ending with the "Almyra is wonderful and #didnothingwrong, Fodlan BaD and Syrup must embrace his Almyran identity as Khalid's bby bro!" - canon events can be ignored!

And, as headcanon/fanon, okaay, this can work, I mean, it's not because people make sandwiches with mayo, eggs and cucumbers that I have to eat it, you know? Some people eat those kinds of sandwiches, I don't, don't like, don't read, etc etc.

But then, removing the fandom's tendency to headcanon and, well, be a fandom, in FE Fodlan itself we have... Claude.

And the way the games treat Claude, imo, ultimately fuels those headcanons.

Rather, not only Claude, but more specifically, his views about Fodlan, Almyra and the supposed reasons why they can't get along.

As I posted way too many times in the last 4 years, Claude will - for a reason I suspect is tied to Hresvelg Grey and the red herring called Rhea - never interact with the Almyrans attacking for shit'n'giggles in Hilda'n'Cyril's paralogue. He will not talk about House Goneril's habit to, uh, "take orphans left on the battlefield" with them.

But it's an issue with the Fodlan games in general, you can have an elephant in the room, or a giant dragon, if it goes against the narrative a certain character pushes, that elephant will be ignored, like, the lord won't even have 1 line about it.

The game took time to code Claude having line about random pirates "dirtying" Almyra's good name by pretending to be Almyran pirates to, just, steal stuff - but it didn't took time to code Claude maybe tell to the random peon leading the raid of the week to stop the fuck out - and I ultimately don't think it was a foresight.

Claude will tell you the reason why Almyra isn't well seen nor accepted in Fodlan is because of the Church or the faith Rhea preaches (since in VW Billy will still be head of the church), because the faith Rhea preaches apparently encourages isolationism, xenophobia, etc etc...

And nowhere in the game(s) will someone tell him that, uh, no, the faith Rhea preached welcomes people of all faiths and origins (Cyril sort of does, but this support is optional when Claude will always say the same thing at the beginning, middle and end of his route(s)), or how people do not welcome Almyrans with open arms because of their habit to raid their lands every sunday (re : lack of reaction in the Hilda'n'Cyril support) - Hell, in Nopes, it's Lorenz, not Claude, who tells Almyrans that they shouldn't pillage the cities they are invading (re : the elephant in the room, Lorenz adresses it though, even if it's played for funsies).

So if Claude says Almyra is the second coming of paradise on earth, and the game never bothers to correct him or have him learn, react and reconsider his earlier opinions, why should the fandom bother? Claude is a protagonist and can be the Lord, so of course whatever he says - even in passing, is true!

Coupled with the projection/fanon/headcanon issue of earlier and you have fanon!Almyra - where Syrup needs to ditch the woman who gave him meals and a roof and basic care to return to his "almyran" origins even if in Almyra he was treated like fodder and had "no reason to live".

Why?

Because said woman is a certain fandom's projection on the catholic church + the game(s) need a red herring + Hresvelg Grey + Claude said so and the game(s) never confronts him so it sort of works.

I think, back when I still had faith in redshit, I tried to argue to someone who said "obviously Almyra has more advanced medicine bcs trust me bro" with something like "in a world where singing 2 "Ave Sothis" can heal a fractured arm, what the fuck is advanced medicine?" Ditto for the more advanced ships because they have canons, we're in the Fire Emblem series, who gives a fuck about a canon if you have a mage with long range magic on the other side ? Ask FE4, people can summon meteors - do you really think a "canon" is advanced technology in an universe with magic? (unless we make a difference between magic and technology but it's all sort of pointless, some place isn't more backwards than the other if it uses different methods to reach the same results?).

----

Then, let's not kid ourselves, Almyra, just like everything in Fodlan, has been used by the fandom to demonise Rhea, because Rhea BaD since she's the fandom projected version of Pope Francis and Supreme Leader + Claude think she's the reason why Fodlan sucks.

So with the "Rhea is satan because she never taught Cyril, who kept that information hidden, how to read, but the Gonerils are somehow A-ok despite not teaching him too - granted they also forgot to give him food so at least they're consistent in how they completely don't give a fuck about him" -

I also read the "Rhea is evil because she only saved 1 Almyran Child from House Goneril, but again, House Goneril isn't evil for, uh, keeping more than 1 Almyran child needing to be saved" -

And Nopes gave us the best "Rhea is evil incarnated because she doesn't tell Cyril to run away when people want to slaughter her, unlike what she did for her blood relatives, so it's actually Rhea's fault that Claude had to use Cyril as an archery practice dummy!".

If Rhea must be bad, then everything she stands against must be Good! And that includes the people she bought a fort to defend against!

Tl;Dr : some part of the fandom idealisation of Almyra comes frmo 1/projection

2/Khalid said so and the game(s) never force him to reconsider

Hey sorry i am trying to like. find examples of what you mean when you talk about mra stuff and (trans)misogyny in forcemasc content and tumblr search has betrayed me once again, can you explain?

(sorry I normally wouldn't ask but I wanna make sure I'm not perpetuating anything!! Also fucking tumblr search!!! it is ridiculous!)

so ive been sitting on this ask for months since ive got it. i want to do it justice and try to take it at face value that its being honest in asking.

The thing is, theres this trend and a weird amount of effort to be like force femme, to be forceful and like its something to fearful of and give in to. But we cant do that, cause all that does is reinforce the idea that being a man is a toxic thing. I saw this post the other day where a transman talked about like, the whole "raised as a weapon" thing, the violence and horror of being a man and raised that way versus how they felt growng into it as a transman. How they wanted to reclaim that phrase or something? i could be misremembering.

But that was never the intent of forcemasc. It wasnt actually about being a dude, literally *forcing* someone who was unwilling into masculinity, none of the posts that i made that started the community (and yes i, a transfem butch woman, started and made this community and some of yall need to get over yourselves) were ever about that, it was intended to be a soft mimic or even a call to forcefemme.

i was all about making it soft and tender for a reason, cause if i didnt i was only reinforcing the toxic masculinity narrative, "men fighting in the mud" "men are dominant and cool" " to be a man is to be forced into masculinity and to be disgusted with the feminine" or whatever. When masculinity isnt about just men, and being butch isnt just being masculine. masculinity should also be sensitivity, not domination. i wanted it to be better, show a better side of what masculinity could be, what being butch is.

Ive spoken before a bit too, about the tags people used and added to forcemasc, and really maybe i was wrong in ever naming it forcemasc. people used and still use tags like autoandrophilia, autoandrophile, androphile, autogynephilia, androphilia, and autogynephile. Ive seen so many people with urls and tags and posts calling themselves transandrobros, literally calling themselves MRAs, as if that was something to be proud of, as if they dont understand that they arent fighting for their and our rights, they're fighting for cis-mens rights by using those names and terms, not transmascs/transmens rights. I can understand ignorance, but weve talked about how the words you use have history, especially those like the tags i mentioned and androphilia and androphobia and others, all of them have roots in deeeeeeeply misogynistic and transphobic people and history.

Literally all of these are awful and are phrases that arent and wont be reclaimed because theyre history is one of pain and hurting trans people, one of coercive 'help', literal forced detransitioning and reinforcement of MRA and terf narrative that men are both good and the worst creature alive and that to be a woman is to be disgusting and the purest thing all at once. That to be a transwoman is sick and we shouldnt be trusted.

Im trying to be very kind, not scream and rage, not because i dont desperately want to, but because if i do, as a butch transwoman, ESPECIALLY cause i claim being butch, people wont listen to me no matter how much of what i say is meaningful. one of the reasons why im doing this NO, instead of in anothr day or two, is that im coming to terms with the fact that the situation will just get qorse, not better without words.

Part of why im still sane is that ive gotten a couple asks here and there about how my posts and creation of the community has helped them and its so wonderful to see that, genuinely so amazing to see people recontextualize and love themselves. its wonderful and im so fucking happy about it.

i personally made this space so i could love myself, who i am as a trans person and my body, and i knew that other people needed and wanted that for themselves too and i wanted to help, share this love with more people. That to be hairy and chubby and masculine and butch was a nice thing. But to me it feels like it was coerced into being a thing for Men. A thing no longer for me or people like me who share the butch culture and name to no longer enjoy cause people unfamiliar with kink and tran history have decided that masculinity and butchness are the exact same thing. Id say people should go be a bear, but you wont learn their culture either and thats cruel and insulting to bears.

We deserve better You deserve better. Stop falling for the lies and hate. We beg you

[saphushia]

I would describe all four of those with very different body plan words. The first one I would describe as “swirl” or maybe “swarm”. The second one is so ball that is a ball of ever I saw one. But if you need anouther word for that body type maybe… dollop? Orb? Idk I think if anything that one should be ball and all the other balls should be something else. It’s Too Ball. The fourth one makes me think of a very abstract fish if a fish were also a plane, so maybe “fish” or even “finned”. Actually I like “finned” better yeah. That last one is molecular that was 100% my first thought when I saw it “oh what a weird looking molecule I wonder what this posts about”.

Anyway all of this is coming from someone who knows next to nothing about digimon, in fact it is only because I trust you as a digimon expert that I believe those are all from the same game(?) and not just four random unrelated drawings. Hope this in any way helps ^��^ d

ok so that is very reasonable and makes sense, but there's a couple reasons that i'm not splitting them like that.

firstly- i actually have 2 different filters relating to digimon's shape/look; body and appearance.

body is relating to posture and limbs (ie upright, hunched, quadruped, taur, etc). it's basically the 'shape' pokedex category, but using words because i'm not sure how to code a drop down list with images, and i still need to have a word to use as a tag in order to filter the entries

appearance is what they look similar to (ie mammal, reptile, fish, ooze, humanoid, etc). originally, i only had appearance, but i was running into a lot of conflicts and conundrums in tagging digimon. for example:

on its own, i miiiiiight consider ancient volcamon (right) humanoid, as it's bipedal and has a fairly human-shaped head and arms, but it feels wrong to put it in the same 'humanoid' category as angemon (left) when angemon is just. a straight up guy.

then there's the case of something like these guys ^^^

i want people to be able to filter to just see these 'animal-like' digimon, but then these are also very different. so they're both 'quadruped', but in addition left is 'mammal' and right is 'reptile'.

so what i'm looking for is "body plan", and while "ball" makes sense for appearance (and i'm probably gonna add "ball" or "shape" or smth to the appearance tags, now that i'm thinking abt it), it doesn't succinctly describe the body/limb layout which is what i'm looking for

the other thing (and the reason i'm not just stealing the pokedex shape categories) is that digimon have. a lot. of body variation. so im having to make kinda broad categories in order to avoid having 30+ options, some of which containing only a single digimon, and making the dropdown list entirely unwieldly.

so i'm putting all of these in the same body category, because they all hit the same general vibe as 'wierd nonspecific thing that's pretty much just a face/head with no significant limbs'. i just haven't figured out what to call it

rn i'm leaning towards 'head' or 'limbless', but if anyone has suggestions then i'm still looking to see if there's anything better

Insta Anon

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm upset for absolutely no reason here and I'd love some input if possible.

My best friend is VERY active on Instagram. Like, posts Instagram stories for every occasion, always makes collages at the end of the month about everything she's done, tags everybody she's spent time with that month. It's prompted me to do a very similar thing, and I post little collages at the end of the month too now. I posted one a few days ago that had two photos of the two of us and I'd tagged her in it. I only had like seven or eight photos, so those two were a considerable chunk of the post.

She posted hers today, with around twenty five photos on it, and I didn't appear once. We've seen each other multiple times, and talked on facetime a lot (I live in a different city so that's mostly how we interact.)

She posted everything else that she did, posted people multiple times, multiple pictures from the same night and not a single picture of us together.

I know that it probably wasn't malicious, and was probably just an oversight, but it's really upset me. I just feel a little overlooked.

I feel stupid being upset, because it's literally just a post. It's just that I know how much she cares about and scours over those posts, and it just makes me feel a little forgotten about.

Is it dumb to be upset about it?

Hi!

Honestly I’d be annoyed too! Like yeah social media shouldn’t be a big deal but she’s not acknowledging your friendship and that’s hurtful. I’ve had friends do similar things and it really sucks because it feels like you’re putting more effort in.

If you feel like she would be willing to listen and hear you out, I think you should talk to her. Explain that it's not just about the actual post, but like...acknowledgement. But if she doesn’t take it seriously, or tells you you’re being silly...I would reevaluate how much she's prioritizing you compared to how much you're prioritizing her.

Sending love!

outed anon

GOOD MORNING 🗣 (its outed anon)

Im making a patchwork sweater for my friend for her bd and im so done

LIKE HOW MANY SQUARES IS IT GOING TO TAKE

I MAKE 84 SQARES

I DIDNT NEED THAT MUCH

(No like i love her shes so sweet but never again)

Honestly if I was her I'd be so honored though. That is the sweetest gift, and I'm sure she'll love it. (And if she doesn't, I'll take it. Fuck.)

ap test anon

hi cas my first ap test is in around 2 weeks and i haven’t started studying yet im going to start today but im taking two this year and i only took one last year so i need to study twice as hard but last year i started studying like a month beforehand and im actually so stressed i feel constantly on the verge of tears but i keep procrastinating because there’s just so much to do and its overwhelming and i really need to pass both these tests and idk idk idk

i don’t even know this is all such a jumble of words i’m just really stressed i don’t even know

Hi!

I totally understand the feeling of being overwhelmed like this. Remember though--any studying is better than no studying. Even if you do ten minutes a night, you're giving yourself a much better chance of passing. Don't push yourself to the point of refusing to do anything. Just do little bits and remind yourself that those little bits are still HUGE. Set a timer, study for ten minutes, then take a ten minute break, and see how you feel. Repeat if you can. You got this, I believe in you!

no worries anon

No worries anon here

So… that friend hasn’t talked to me in some time. Like actually tried talking to me.

I miss having friendship with them, because they were my only irl that I had done rp with, they cosplayed and would understand my ships. They were in my fandoms and liked jegulus

Anyway

Despite that, I feel kinda free.

I do only have like… three irl friends tho, which is kinda sad. I mean, yeah, sure I’m introverted, but I like having friends.

Hi!

I totally understand this feeling. It's like, the loss of any friendship sucks because...it's a friend, and they once meant something to you. And when you have a small group of friends, it hits extra. But when that friend wasn't always respectful to you, it's also a relief. So it's a lot of mixed feelings. But maybe you can look at it like...now you have room in your life for someone who is better for you, you know?

Sending love <3

financial anon (new)

hi cas, i want to complain about my mother for a bit :(

she and my dad don’t have very high paying jobs, and we live in a pretty expensive area to live in, but we still have enough to live a comfortable life

however recently we’ve had less money and my mom seems to keep getting pissed at me for it (for context i cannot remember the last time i used her money for did something she needed to pay for other then like eating and shower ig)

my younger brother does THREE sports throughout the year and is also in boy scouts. the actual activities and equipment cost so much, and honestly that’s the reason we haven’t had as much money in the past few years

however, it’s always me she comes complaining to, never him. and it makes me so mad.

she complains about money when she should just idk take my brother out of one of his three sports??

and then she says she doesn’t have a favorite child like bsfr

oh and then of course when she’s mad about money she takes her anger out on us (not psychically but like verbally)

i have felt like a financial burden ever since i was eight becuse of her and she sometimes just makes me so angry

idk this rant probably doesn’t make much sense but yeah

Hi!

I'm so sorry your mom is taking those stresses out on you. You're right, it's not your responsibility or your fault. And while I do think it's probably a bit more complicated than just taking your brother out of sports, it shouldn't be something that you have to worry about.

I'm guessing you're the oldest? I feel like it's very common that parents pick one child, usually the oldest, to sort of...turn into the third parent. But that's not fair to you at all. And it's NOT your job to worry about those things. Is your mom the type of person who would get mad if you said something like "I'm a kid, so I don't really understand a lot of this finances stuff, maybe you can talk to x about it?" next time she talk to you? Because like....she really should be talking to an adult about it.

Sending love!

[luxaofhesperides]

decided to make an actually useful pinned post so here we go:

OTHER

ghostlights requests (dc x dp) ; fics made for danny fenton/duke thomas prompts sent in to me. currently not accepting prompts. - ao3 link - #prompt fill

[shinyhuntraveller]

Yo! Cinders here. I'm a professional, not-for-profit shiny hunter. I work a lot in ecosystem health, conservation, and abuse / mill rescue at Mulberry Traveling Rehab and Rescue. My personal division is primarily fieldwork, but I also do some physical therapy, burning energy, play, ect. @mulberrytravelingrehab-rescue is run by one of my coworkers (seriously, couldn't get a better username? :P)

Here's my latest trainer card. I have quite a few Pokémon, those are just my battling team... Most are not fit for fighting and it's been QUITE a few years since I tried the league challenge ^^;;

Battle permitted: Poffin Seviper✨, Rooftile Absol✨, Pipebomb Linoone✨, Babygirl Purugly✨, Cardboard Flygon, Saccharine Togekiss✨, Tasty Glimmora, Fraynor Applin Light battles only: Night Dratini✨, Friend Totodile, Vi Mothim✨, Hiraku Tatsugiri, Kichirou Gligar✨, Allerg Venomoth✨, Cata Salandit✨ No battles or retired: Purrs Liepard, Warmth Flaafy, Cappy Patrat✨, Cherry Noctowl, Remy Meowstic, Tanu Lycanroc✨, Gamble Arbok✨, Media Audino, Mosey Lapras, Snappea Leavanny✨, Grumpy Ariados✨ - My rehab sector: Glameow, Purple?? thing (currently been calling it 'purple guy'), a few Rockruff, Buizel✨ -

Quick FAQ!

My team: Yes, I have certification for them all. Yes, I can handle them all. Yes, all the shinies I have decided to stay with me. No, they were not bought whatsoever. No, I don't claim to "own" them, I'm a believer in personal choice. No, you should not have this many Pokémon if you're sane. No, they're not free-range, they're restricted to a specific area.

Individual team members: No, the videos of Poffin with a Zangoose are not dangerous, the two are VERY close and get stressed if separated for too long. It's a unique situation. Don't put Seviper and Zangoose together yourself! Babygirl was declawed. DO NOT DECLAW YOUR FELINE MONS. Its previous trainer was not kind. Cata is a transfem Salandit, treat her accordingly. Our work: No, we will not "give away" a shiny unless the Pokémon decides they like you and want to leave. Otherwise, they are under our protection while they stay here. Yes, you can visit and pet them. No, you can't catch any mons on the facility. Yes, we use Aether tech to prevent this.

----------------------------------------------------------------

// HI!! welcome to the ooc section this blog is run by @neoncityrain general warning for unreality. there will be medical talk, talk of abuse toward pokemon AND people, and mentions of death. all will be tagged accordingly pokemon are not considered to be only animals in this, as they are magic creatures. inspiration is taken from both the anime and the games. sentient pokemon are welcome and considered normal here! only not normal thing is being able to 100% speak and thats fine here too!

[reilikeslifting]

This is the person who just did their first lift, I totally forgot to ask but, do you have any tips for new lifters ^^

of course! and congrats!!!

new l!fting tip #1: tumblr 101

no tags!!! do not tag ur posts, it makes it easier for non-l!fters to find and report l!fters

censor out brands and l!fting terms!! such as dn@, 3B, etc. (dn@ is did not arrive and 3B is empty box!!! different l!fting methods)

never ever put any defining objects in your photos if you are gonna post! make sure its the haul and ONLY the haul.

remove exif data from your photos so they can’t be traced, personally i dont do think bc im lazy but you should!

don’t put your total in your bio! i used to do this bc i liked to tell ppl i saved $20k-$30k over the year but it’s not smart to flaunt that you’re over the felony limit!

next, #2: how to lyft

so you’ve already completed your first lyft (woohoo proud of u!!) but how can you go about being safer and smarter?

my first tip is always scan the school for cameras! be sneaky tho don’t like just stare at the ceiling, but yk get a feel for how many cameras, what type, and what direction they’re facing. most places are gonna have the dome cameras, those are the worst because they see in every direction. always always try to body block if possible. either get someone else to block you or duck behind something while you’re concealing. better to not be caught on cam!!

nobody in that store is your friend, remember that. always assume that customers are plain clothes LP (disguised security) and always assume that sales associates WILL rat you out. don’t think “oh well it’s just me and one other person in the aisle it’ll be fine” because it’s gonna be the one time it’s not fine.

on that note, be kind to everyone. this isn’t just a lyfting tip it’s a rule i live by but just be kind. they’re gonna suspect you much less if you smile and answer questions and compliment them if you feel so inclined, just be a nice person. i believe this is one of the reasons i’ve never been caught, i’m just very friendly.

concealing!!! where to conceal? i personally like using my bag most often. your bag is important too!!! i use one off amazon (you can type like kawaii heart school bag and it’ll pop up, its black and has a big heart cut out for pins) but i dont have any pins because i dont want it to be too identifiable. its purse enough for people not to tell me to take it off (a lot of places don’t allow backpacks) but big enough to fit a LOT of stuff. structured bags are always a good idea too! that way people won’t be able to tell if you’ve put anything in there. i like to conceal in aisles without cameras most often, but if i have to body block sometimes i’ll put stuff up my sleeves first! another idea is to use a shopping bag from another store. this way people will think you’ve just already bought stuff! the target ones are my favorite since they’re opaque<3

onto the next section, #3: all about tags

de-tagging is definitely a more experienced lyfting practice but you can definitely start with rfids!!

rfids are gonna be the little metal wires in plastic, paper, or sticker tags. these are very common and you’ll see them at places like w4lmart or t4rget. these are easily removable by either cutting them off or disabling them with a magnet. you don’t NEED any tools while lyfting, but some of them can come in handy. if you do find yourself with a magnet, to disable rfids you just need to swipe your magnet against the tag. if you don’t have one, simply cut the metal wire in half. you can use scissors or nail clippers or cuticle nippers or whatever you might have!! if you can’t cut them, simply remove them and i personally stick the tag in the pocket of a really ugly item on clearance so that it hopefully goes unfound for a while!

hard tags! hard tags are any tag from the solid tags you find usually on clothes to spider tags you find on electronics or wire tags on jewelry at hot topic, etc. these all require tools to remove. some will require a magnet, others will require hooks, but it’s definitely worth looking into if you decide to branch out on your journey.

brief mention, #3.5: booster bags!

booster bags are small bags lined with many layers of foil to prevent signals from reaching the towers. just in case you didn’t know, towers are the tall sensors by the front door when you walk in! with a booster bag, you can put any kind of tagged item you want, zip it up, and walk out without beeping. you need many layers however!! the way to test if your bag works it by putting your cell phone in there and asking someone to call you. if the call goes through, there aren’t enough layers!! once the call doesn’t go through you’re set! this however is a more advanced trick so please be careful if you’re gonna try this!

lastly, #4 online “shopping”!

so you’ve heard of dn4ing or empty boxes, well lemme tell you what it all means! did not arrive is when you purchase an item, wait for it to arrive, and then message the carrier and tell them it never arrived. typically our goal here is to get a refund, but any times they wont be as easily persuaded and you’ll end up with a replacement instead. however it’s not impossible and many places are easier others. if you think you wanna try this, she!n or am4zon are a good place to start!! if she!n opens an investigation, it’s just a bluff, go with it!

empty box is another form of online lyfting, it’s when you tell the carrier that your item arrived with nothing in it. the process is similar to the first one, message the carrier etc. however just claim that it’s an empty box!

I HOPE ALL THESE TIPS HELPED PLS LET ME KNOW<333 LOVE YOU GUYS STAY HEALTHY AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES

hi everyone so this user hates my guts with her whole heart BUT the ask was mentioning me (see my pinned post) so i needed to.

THAT POST IS CAMP.

let me explain.

camp : A sensibility that revels in artifice, stylization, theatricalization, irony, playfulness, and exaggeration rather than content.

when i post stuff like that (i do admire pelle a lot irl, but im talking about those posts specifically), im NOT BEING SERIOUS. im playing a role which adds to an aestheticism, an image, in my head. he was a wonderful artist and i find a lot of comfort within him because i struggle with a lot of similar things, but in all actuality, i dont think im his anything (i actually know for a fact he'd either hate me or just not care).

@pe11e0hlins-realwife sort of scared to tag you because i know you dont like me in the slightest, but i thought i should because i do like you actually. i really want you to be happy. sure, i think what you do is fucking extreme, but that doesn't subtract from the fact that you're a human who deserves love and happiness. i sincerely hope you get better and maybe we can be civil and bond over struggles.

anyways, here's the rant, a.k.a me being petty as fuck (seperate section for actual rational stuff and now here's the section for me being my age)

the joke of the millenia is calling me a coquette blog. BABYGIRL if you think IM coquette then im sorry you need a grasp on coquettes first to throw around that term. SECOND yes im grammar and spelling police i have admitted that multiple times and its something I just can't help: pet peeves, ever heard of them?

also, suicide and self harm and depression are VERY serious topics. i am a self harmer and i am depressed—that is something i find similar in me and pelle which is why i find him and his art comforting. because it reminds me that im not alone. ffs.

AND ALSO i... dont even post about lana del rey a lot...? i used to, but i dont anymore. people change. ever heard that?

BUT HONESTLY OMG the way you said to uhm... i dont know her name but the girl i tagged up above, that she's starting to think she's me (no offense to you honey the asker is simply shitty that we should castrate or smth) MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A CELEBRITY OMG TYSM BABE

anywaysss im done with this shit < 3

EVERYONE take care of yourself. I LOVE YOU and even if you hate me, i most likely do not hate you back. and i hope everyone now understands what personas, pet peeves and camp is. you learn smth new everydayyyy

mwah.

bluesky functions among a lot of false positives in all aspects of both moderation and curation. a net is cast, there is bycatch, and those get appealed/manually reviewed. a curation or moderation list should only cover an amount of users their own staff can handle basic vetting and appeals of, and thats generally the case for trusted ones. lower stakes things happen in curation, like say a feed that pulls posts mentioning "hylics" and tagged hylics, accidentally netting posts about Gnosticism and not the funny rpg game. manual removals/exclusions or inverted keywords is the work that must go into it

there are several current attack vectors, for example actively turning stuff like follow4follow trains into honeypots (where the followed account is then rebranded and its followers shamed or put on a list alongside it, worse people nuke-block everyone who follows it) and "mistakes" in untrusted, malicious labels/lists. this is a likely, malicious-user-driven reason why a large pattern of people could be roped into a fast moderation decision which is cleaned up in post there are users who make the platform more functional and there are ppl who make it worse. both have nearly the same tools, which are decently powerful but can be slow to update or have short outages

i wrote too many thought tags and then had even more thoughts so im gonna readmore here. i just wanna be productive in the decision if whether or not u wanna deal with joining and curating bluesky and its all interesting to me. yap yap

example: possible that the child safety bans picked up some people who were maliciously added to certain lists that then get targeted for reports

that but also *POTENTIALLY* some could be the maga ppl making fake trans etc accounts- deliberately infiltrating and trolling and being put on horrible subject lists willingly. there are also certain Harassment Websites who are currently targeting users in mostly alternate ways. it could also straight up just be people finding a list of a kind of person and mass reporting everyone on it

that is happening- just not sure if its part of it. the point is that there is a lot of bad actors

i have LIGHTLY looked into it and am not stating fact, but because of this context i think its is extremely reasonable that the ppl caught up in the bans are mistakes via user-driven malicious action, especially with the appeals that have gone through so far. theres so many things that are just kinda frontline messes that could be taken out of context. I DO NOT DOUBT THAT I COULD BE WRONG so dont be annoying @ me if i am. theres still info i wanna talk about in here but the whole platform is more complicated than the moderation ppl here are used to which ranges from fuck all to some awful shit. even here, a specific recent shitty tumblr ban wave had an extra shit layer of false positives, and i personally saw successful appeals of those.

on top of all of this, bluesky was gaining a million users a day for a bit there (and im shocked its functioning as okay as it is), theres no way any of this is gonna be perfect for awhile, and its going to look bad. but i think its worth continuing to curate if you dont have a need for a platform like bluesky, then no pressure to go there. i do personally consider tumblr and bluesky to be the two peaks rn. insta maybe a lesser if ur already established (but eugh, lol) bluesky is similar to twitter in structure but with easier curation (fully understanding the difference between each type took me a hot minute lol), plus a user driven effort to vibe reset from twitter by pulling away/cutting off combative interactions, muting and blocking instead of butting heads, more and noticeably less hostile interactions everywhere i look.

and imo feeds to organize your own posts is huge, not as easy to pass through like tumblrs archive but far better than nothing. ill b making a few categories of my art into feeds

just hesitate a bit before getting scared away from another basket to put your eggs bcs of some secondhand info. look into it because it could be interesting. bluesky doesnt cut off logged out users (another plus) so you might be able to look into things directly

update from me 10 mins later: i went to take my own advice lol and i found a relevant official statement from one hour ago

Additional Helpers

Zemi, @overlookedfile, 35+, any pronouns. Yeah, that overlookedfile. Who are my old men? Geez, there are a lot, but I guess the short list is my husband (duh), Alfred Molina, Oliver Platt, Ron Perlman, Paul Giamatti, Saul Rubinek, and Eddie Marsan. I write when the writer's block allows and my most common genres seems to be m/m, A/B/O, and/or BDSM. My rule of thumb as concerns engaging with anything of mine is, "Go for it, but I ain't gonna pay for your therapy." 😂

Jubi, @lizardperson, 35+, it/they, problematic age gap fan. too aspec for a consistent type - some of the hottest people just happen to be old 🤷 random list, in no particular order and probably incomplete: Gina Gershon, Lance Henriksen, Jason Isaacs, Mads Mikkelsen, Shoreh Agashdaloo, Kurt Russell, Michelle Yeoh, Gillian Anderson, ...?

[1eoness]

BROOO u were literally probably the first author whose fic i read when i first searched up leon smuts last year 😭 ur works r so good n idk if u'll see this but it's nice to hear abt ur perspective, i feel like fics abt leon these days r so fucked up and scary, it reminds me of when i first read a fic of yours and it was nothing but normal and hot? i just mean it's like, what fanfiction should be, how smuts should be, just p in v and stuff without all that crazy shit, it sucks to see writers these days waste their talent on writing dead dove fics that are so horrendous that it really affected me mentally

helloo!! (im not dead mueheaheah)

WARNING : Mentions of dead dove content and the likes of its themes!

before i talk : [HIIIIII HEHAHEH thank you for your support!! i'm glad you liked my (very subpar) work! now that i look back on it those themes did enter a somewhat gray line at some point because i lacked a lot of experience in writing. i do not condone ever letting your professor have sex with you nor do i promote any kind of hate-motivated sex, or dubcon! it was merely a bold attempt of expressing hormones (if you know 😭) like a lot of people my age commonly do and so i had (and still have to) reedit the tropes in my work a bit, also because i turned 18 now and i wanna readjust my boundaries! i hope you dont mind. regardless, i love that you like those themes. very good! love you!! /p]

anyway, leaning more towards the topic at hand. i don't doubt that your opinion is much different than a large part of the community under this tag. which is a very, very good thing! i'm pretty sure it was ever since @/gilfhub's posts started to quickly rise in the top pages that lead a lot of users to be influenced and begin to tear down a very, very important boundary. i'm very sorry to hear that being exposed to that affected you mentally, that's the entire reason why i absolutely abhor blogs that post and enable that content. you're not alone on that either <3 and i agree! people should ALWAYS write boundaries in mind. i've lurked around the tag a lot and noticed a lot of "popular" writers who also have an alternative blog for dark content (this isn't just a specific account, there are a lot of these.) warnings don't make things better, they don't fend witnesses away, and it doesn't make you any less insensitive. "dead dove content" itself (which is really just incestual/horribly taboo sexual assault fantasies, no need to sanitize it) should always be suppressed and private (or, well, NOT WRITTEN AT ALL). the moment you put it up on any kind of digital page, you are attracting ANY kind of viewer and none of that shit is cute, i'm sorry. projecting your trauma onto a character is one thing but writing them as someone who skips the morality line is just straight up trying to exercise your power through the wrong means. just as much as you have the power to express yourself, you also have the power to make someone very uncomfortable. people don't think about these situations in the long run, that's why. they seem to really like using the "leon is just a character, i promise he won't care" argument which i also think is total bullshit cause this isn't even about leon, it just entirely reflects what your true values really are. they centralize around the need to express yourself at the expense of other people's comfort (because, for the nth time, it's a public space with an unpredictable demographic yet people seem to really like just doing the "bare minimum" on their part). whilst your perception of a traumatic experience may be valid, it doesn't give you any excuse. this is far from the idea of free individualistic expression, it is just as bad as some 4channer posting about wanting similar situations be inflicted onto them with even real, sentient people. because we all know why these themes allow themselves to be exposed to the audience and that's because it tries to appeal to a very specific group of people (which is very disgusting.) they want to be so condescending, too. like "oh grow up, i'm all under ur skin and for what." it's blatant ignorance, you're not very smart!

and finally as ironic as it is, porn is to blame for enabling a lot of similar themes. it's so obvious, too, a lot of fictions like the ones you mentioned that are dead dove always have to mention pornography titles in it. (honestly doesn't have to be dead dove either). sanitization can be done in MANY ways, and a lot of the times I notice it's through the way of romanticizing or aestheticizing it. I'm talking about those who put up mini pinterest-board headers of like three whatevercore images and then putting lyrics at the bottom of it. it's like an attempt at writing a very bad fucking movie not gonna lie. for example, they end up trying to decorate their post with elements that fall under anything curated aesthetic. and guess what? we've all been there but NOT for writing about uncle!character and their kid reader thats just flat out WEIRD. trust me you are NOT anais nin, you do not have to write lyrical prose and try to beautify something that will always be ugly and demented to its very core. you cannot call dead dove content "artistic vents", either. i also think i can understand that some people are victims who have failed to get help thus they try to cope through other means. but i will never applause someone for making the right choices. i think there's no excuse behind writing dead dove content other than to self mutilate your mental health in the long run for a temporary moment of "safe fun", and not even knowing that it is also in/directly harming the public eye.

it's rotten. it's disgusting. dead dove writers should not be welcomed in any fictional writing space. i've been triggered over and over again and it made me put off writing and reading for a very long time. i've experienced something similar before and i have gone crazy over it, and trust me, the things these people write so "generously" for their viewers are NOTHING but toxic waste.

tumblr is NOT your space, but everyone has a space in tumblr, so be conscious of yours.

i also encourage people to not stay silent on the matters if they want to speak up on it but are afraid of getting backlash. i've seen people delete their accounts over it (which, i guess is good on them since then they won't have to confront this kind of space anymore).

[trashbins-stuff]

Hello. I have seen that you have been tagged by @neobixiscool on one of their posts. I am planning to make a rant post on them. If you can provide some background info and your side of the story, that would be great. If you feel uncomfortable discussing this, that's ok. Have a good day/evening.

rub hands together like flies. my time has come/silly 😋😋

and thank you for coming to me :3 i appreciate it/gen also i get to go all cabby on this hehe

oh and, im not really hurt-hurted by them, i feel like mocha (mochablogger), liam (moonmxple) and mac (blairdrawzstuff) are most affected. They did have a book with my character in it but in a different universe or something (without my consent nor credit btw). Anyway under the cut is my observant. Honestly i think i might have jsut make the rant post for you lmao hrgbnhe 😭😭

the background/before:

mocha was working on a little story and xe said we could be in it! so obviously me and my friends signed up for the fun, not really expecting anything, the story was called "The Traumatized Cup", thats when we first meet him.

In one of the chapter mocha had introduced rubix, at first i didnt really think much about him, i was just aware of his presence, i do notice him and mocha started to become friends and i thought that was great :)

something that you should probably contact cuppy for more info:

so rubix (or according to rubix, "jasp" was roleplaying) and mocha were friends on facebook, and they roleplayed there i think, this i just know but apparently he said crap about liam (mocha's platonic partner and my best friend). Mocha is very sensitive and even in roleplay xe's still uncomfortable with what rubix said

"bezel's" divorce headcanon (and possible influence on further problems):

i heard people talked about it but never knew where it came from, but thne i found out and,,

tdlr; 1st one is about mocha and rubix, i dont know if mocha consent to it. 2nd one is uh a bit weird i i guess like he could have ask facemoji to make another one ;-;. 3rd ah yes the divorce that i had heard about!/vneg

rubix said bezel forced him into making the 1st one, even if thats true, rubix said the divorce was bezel's headcanon but hes the one that decided to post the 3rd one ("okay i asked facemoji again..")

seem kinda sus not gonna lie..but what do i nose right :-)

bezel probably influence more but even after all these months im still not sure if he really did do those things, idk lul, it is pretty weird that bezel's blog was a sideblog though (liam told me)

heres a bunch of words with link attach, those r my opinions lmao:

these u can just click to read so i hope thats okay

on wattpad he have a book in which he painted mocha, hazel and blair as manipulative (admittedly his writing was good, he could have used it for something different though)

he also uses some of our characters (such as mocha cuppy, hazel, blair, harp, blueberry, winter, bin (mine btw), seedling, galaxy journal,...etc) he did the delete that book tho, anyway heres more screenshot proof (credit @moonmxple )

mocha asked liam and neobix said its cringe

i remember this one also

the one where he tried to ban pet name and online dating (in 2023) (check the comment and other reblogs also theres alot, its practically a goldmine/silly)

and can i say he barely knows our friend group? like sure he knows mocha but hes trying to fit into our group (very poorly)

please read what cass wrote in the comment (thanks cass for speaking out about it ily)

the ask i sent him

NOT to get all bitchy here but mocha blocked you therefore you literally dont appear anywhere on xer dash, you're out of xer life and xe had no reason to pester you, not everything has to be about mocha. You guy's relationship (or supposedly lack there of) had change but honestly? thats okay they dont have to like the same people that they liked yesterday. You might think you know that's them but it wasnt, mocha in real life is kinder and better than the version inside of your head and they're happier now and its so sad that you cant see (because you're blocked)

and again, not everything has to be about YOU

he also made it all about HIM like excuse me ???? can i not complain for little bit without you coming in and nag about your problem ??? if you're suffering go talk to someone dont talk to online strangers ??? :)))???????

bro cant even read a long paragraph post like go back to elementary school lmao, also reporting ppl just because they use their right to not forgive you is such a sore loser move, it make you sound like petty six year old (also max be spitting facts tho)

bro brought out HIS right (reporting mocha, which he actually cant do if he doesnt have a valid reason) while ignore MOCHA's right (not forgiving him, which isnt a valid reason for him to report xem). The definition of petty is literally complain way too much about unimportant things that could have and should have ended already

"you dont have to relate to everything you see on the internet, somethings are simply not about you" :)

did you know that to report someone you have to click alot of buttons??

common salad W &lt;3333

oh yeah, this doesnt have links but jasp/neobix is being so casual abt bezel's death but also uses it as a way to make people feel bad for getting upset with what he did

Sorry for playing the dickhead role, but you wouldn't be laughing if you knew how we felt about every single one of you. (why it sound serious all the sudden lol)

why i still doubt (uh and heads up, galaxy brush, kodu, cuppy,..others who think @/rubixisanidi0t was saying the truth, im not saying he isnt but you cant blame me for not trusting can you? please skip this part if you're sensitive):

naw so if this was suppose to be jasp then whats jasp motive lmao :/..he dont gain anything from this + who tell people their secret plan publicly?? + how did jasp know about rubixs hallucination?? rubix please dont tell such personal things to jsut your friends and please just talk to an adult in real life. And jasp, dont let these kind of things on the internet its not safe/srs

this is just straight up weird and also why did neobix/jasp said "old friend" like hes rubix?? when he supposedly told rubix and i quote "yeah.. Soo.... This person named @/mochablogger seemed like some cool person, and when I tried to talk with them... Nothing happened, so when I figured they didn't care... It all happened at once." neobix/jasp and mocha werent even friend to begin with why was he SO obssess over getting mochas forgiveness when they supposedly barely interact much??

aint it a bit weird how this is supposedly jasp/neobix but why would they make this video??? it???doesnt make any sense?? and like were rubix and jasp still good friend??? why wood bezel make jasp of all people do it??? unless yk

HOL UP, WAIT A MINUTE..if rose jelly dated rubix but rubix tunred out to be jasp then..WHO IS ROSE JELLY ACTUALLY DATING??????

if @/neobixiscool is suppose to be jasp then how did he get a screenshot for a show rubix was making???

i translated it and head up. it has death threat in it

you know, if someone stole my account and ruin my reputation i wouldnt be following them and be mutuals with them :)

i appreciate him saying hell save us but like..why would @/neobixiscool linked the real rubix's yt and discord knowing full well that the real rubix was there and could told joiners the truth??? that seem kinda dumb ngl also on the channel you can find a video called "waitng for forgiveness" which @/neobixiscool had talked about. and lets do a bit of timing here, if rubix really was telling the truth and havent been on social media since his alst post on @/rubixcuix (last posted in august) and the divorce arc and the roleplay thing and EVERYTHING had started in september, and if the yt belonged to rubix, then he shouldnt have known that mocha didnt forgive him and make that video????? bc he wasnt suppose to be there since august??? bc if anything he shouldnt be waiting for forgiveness bc if jasp really did steal his tumblr account then its not his fault?? like i find it absoltuely HILARIOUS that the evidence agaisnt what rubix said was on both the account @/neobixiscool AND @/rubixisanidi0t's PINNED post?? and it boggles my mind how no one talks abt this???/lh/nm i mean its quite obvious maybe im jsut really observant though idk

if you got your account stolen and jasp supposedly brought back a wattpad book, i dont think you should be continuing it?? and didnt you said your reported him on wattpad?? on the same account where the book is?? why are you acting like "yes i did promise them this and im fully aware of what happen even though i supposedly havent been here since august and i will continue this book" has it hit you?

uh yeah so these are just my silly little takes, but hey! what do i nose? :-)
