#interact and address

[gothcsz]

first i'm called a slur, then i'm ganged up on for defending myself, and now i'm being accused of using ai to write my fics? awesome. great. it's obvious that there are some individuals that want me out of this fandom and while i usually like to pride myself in having tough skin—i genuinely don't think i want to be here anymore. lol.

congrats anons, you did it! you made me feel like shit! i know you're probably celebrating on your end of the screen that you're so close to running off another black writer from this fandom so congratu-fucking-lations. idk what exactly the prize is so enjoy your dbf fics and your shitty spanish and fetishized content of a brown latino immigrant man.

and i can already see it now: people accusing me of throwing a temper tantrum or trying to get sympathy by writing this post but honestly what the fuck ever. i know who i am, my truths, and the people who really know me recognize how absurd all of this is because it's BLATANTLY clear that this witch hunt you motherfuckers are starting is rooted in racism solely because i'm one of the few out and proud black writers in this cursed fandom. you can sit there and lie and say that's not the reason why but it is and the same way y'all are saying karma is gonna circle back on me and my mutuals—it's also going to catch up to you and your heinous spirits.

i might take a day or two to sit with this and truly evaluate if sticking around is worth it but man, from the bottom of my heart: FUCK Y'ALL

okay well now im thinking about how evil it is that knuckles and shadow almost never get to interact even though they have such obvious potential for an interesting dynamic. world so cruel

Bungie once again COMING FOR MY FUCKING LIFE.

Were there any shorts that paired Bugs and Porky? Like the the only ones I can think of are from New Looney Tunes/Wabbit and I just know there had be shorts that starred just them before that.

OH MAN!!! OKAY. i'm going to preface this right now with: the answer is simple (tl;dr: barely, i'd say only one truly counts during the classic era) but the Porky and Bugs dynamic has become a side obsession for me within the past year or so, and i don't really have many opportunities to talk about it on this blog. so i will probably end up giving you way too much info than what you asked for. so there's the tldr above! and to reiterate it further...

SO. YES. to answer your question, they were occasionally paired together in the classics, but nothing really meaningful. Porky's Hare Hunt, which is a self-admitted rip on Porky's Duck Hunt, births a prototypal Bugs Bunny who could not be further from his fully realized counterpart... but there is a direct lineage.

this is the only short in the classics to have them actually talking to each other, and even then, proto-Bugs sounds nothing like how he would. i both count this one and don't, really... it's more interesting to count it, but, this isn't really Bugs. but as the title implies, it's all about Porky's attempts to hunt this screwy rabbit who keeps heckling him and slipping out of his fingers. it also births the Groucho Marx-ism of "of course you realize, this means war!" associated with the real Bugs, so there is that going for it!

interestingly, this model sheet surfaced a few months ago--Bob Clampett had said something in an interview about him helping out with the story for this one, and i always dismissed that as one of his "exaggerations" since he had a knack for making many mountains out of molehills, including his involvement in the origins of Bugs... but this does look like a Clampett or Clampett unit drawing, and the short was directed by Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, whose style was markedly different... so, just thought that was interesting! never got to talk about this yet. this model sheet is more appealing than the whole cartoon!

there's also this from Hare-um Scare-um, which is another proto-Bugs short... very prophetic honestly

there's also Any Bonds Today, where Porky appears in the background alongside Elmer and has at least one line to help shill war bonds, but it's really Bugs' thing first and foremost and he's just sort of there to look pretty and rouse jingoism through being a recognizable and "reliable" face

BUT! the next true Porky and Bugs short in 1943, which is more relevant to your question. A Corny Concerto is really only the "true" short that pairs them together... and it's for half the runtime of the short, and neither of them say a word to each other LOL. but they're together in the Tale of Vienna Woods segment, and i HIGHLY recommend watching it if you haven't yet--extremely entertaining and charming, and paints a very interesting glimpse of what a Porky and Bugs dynamic would look like, had that been a thing. very antagonistic! Porky is hunting Bugs again, who's heckling him (again), coming to a climax where he fakes Porky out by pretending to die and then slaps him in a gag that makes it look like Porky is being a masher. normal stuff.

and thanks to this short i've fostered the headcanon that i think Porky and Bugs would absolutely detest each other if they were ever to interact and it gives me great joy to think about, and has been something i've been thinking about and concocting in my mind palace very much lately.

AND THAT'S REALLY IT FOR MAJOR APPEARANCES.. i talked about it in this ask, but the end of Porky Pig's Feat does make history by being the only time all the flagship stars appear together--Porky and Daffy are held prisoner in a hotel since they couldn't pay their rent, and they start reminiscing on how Bugs Bunny, the great cartoon star, would be able to get out of such a mess... and they try to get his help, only for it to reveal that he's stuck in the same situation! Porky doesn't say anything to Bugs/hardly regards him, but he does start the "gosh, if Bugs Bunny were only here" discussion... Bugs is really more like a godlike cartoon figure here rather than an actual character, and i see it more as a loophole for Frank Tashlin to work with Bugs, since he was very vocal about his disappointment in not getting to direct him often due to being low in the studio hierarchy and being "stuck with the damn pig" (rude!!)

and the last instance of them together that i can think of is a very brief part in the 1964 Dumb Patrol short (clarifying the date since there's a 1931 Bosko short by the same name): Porky in a silent cameo is slated to take down Yosemite Sam's warplane, but Bugs knocks him unconscious and steals his place because "he's got a wife and six piglets at home!" (...or, it's just a slightly more creative way of concocting exposition for what's a subpar Bugs and Yosemite Sam short)

and that's it for the shorts! ...so, surely, you're asking "okay, but why the long winded anticipatory introduction?" and to THAT! i say... because Porky and Bugs had a sort of double life and were very frequently paired in merchandising together.

Bugs was Porky's Daffy-figure in the comics, to the point where they were often the face of the comics together. usually a lot of stories revolving around Bugs trying to stir up Mr. Moral Goody Two Shoes Porky and get him in trouble, the two going on adventures together, or them just being buddies. it's... weirdly fascinating? the comics were often drawn and written by many of the same figures who worked on the cartoons, so it's a very interesting "what if" scenario that might give insight as to what it'd be like if we got more Porky and Bugs shorts

one of my all time favorite comic stories is an entire story about a big, convoluted misunderstanding where everyone things Porky wants to kill Bugs and they all try to stop him. the comics have been excellent fodder in fueling my "Porky just hates Bugs' guts" headcanon that i kinda just thought was me being funny, but has a weird amount of "evidence" for it LOL.

i mean Porky just goes straight for the ankle breaker here!

SO! they have been paired together in the past, but in a sort of strange, convoluted way. in terms of shorts there's very little, and the only time they ever talk to each other one on one is when Bugs is in his most primordial form. the comics and merchandising of the era paint more of a picture of what that dynamic could be like, but maybe a bit of a dubious one, since the characterizations and writing and general style of the comics are a bit different and more sanitized than the irreverence of the shorts, in both tone and format

[roughentumble]

OH but Rogue goes to get that mani-pedi with Wade and she fills him in on the drama, admits that she was pining over their universe's original Logan, Jean found out and got all weirdly possessive over Logan even though Rogue never intended to even think about making a move, and even now that their Logan is gone Jean kinda lords it over her. Then she's swearing Wade to secrecy with a sacred ritual of the time honored pinky promise

and wade's promising he'll never ever ever breathe a word of this to anyone and would NEVER EVER break a pinky promise. but he's also vibrating with the need to tell her that while he and logan are definitely for sure getting married someday, they are also in a fully open relationship

Hi. I've been a fan of luvether for a decent amount of time and I always see you interact with her. I'm gonna be honest but it irks me every time I see you on her page. Do you have to interact with her everytime? It ruins it for me because it's so obvious that you're trying to farm for attention or notes whenever you're there. Don't you have something better to do? You'll never get half the followers or be better in writing or art, so why bother? Idk it just annoys me tbh. I wish you'd do us all a favour and just stop interacting in general, or at least lessen it and focus on your own work.

Chat someone pls tell me this is some elaborate joke or something 💀 I did not just come back only for a random anon to tell me to stop interacting because it 'icks' them out. Sighhhh ↓ reply below the cut (Ignore this guys for your braincells sake because actually wtf.)

First of all, a round of applause for you for actually having the balls to send something like this to me. Anons are really getting shameless these days. I'm gonna make this as short and as passive aggressive as I can.

I hope you never interact with me again. I hope you never call yourself a "fan" of Koues ever again either because I don't want you to be associated with them in any way, no fan of Koues would go around sending asks like this to their mutuals. Nonnie, if you were a true fan, don't you think that rb-ing their wonderful works is a better way to show your appreciation towards them? Respectfully please use your brain.

Addressing this once and for all, honestly it makes me sad that I have to address this in the first place— I'm not sure what part of my interactions with koue is me 'farming for attention' and I really wonder how you came to that conclusion (like seriously, let me crack open your brain just to see what's going on in there.) + every interaction I have with them is my own free will with no ill intentions or fame in mind. Did it ever occur to you that I just like showing my love and support for them? That i interact with them because I want to? I don't think you have any right to tell me who I should and shouldn't interact with because afaik I haven't done anything that would make anyone uncomfortable or offended. I'm sorry that you feel 'icked' out but I'm not just gonna stop interacting with a person who holds a lot of significance in my life for some random person who can't even settle this in dms.

If it's me you have a problem with. Don't drag koues name into this. I'm a pretty reasonable person so I'm sure we can settle whatever vendetta you have against me.

Lastly. I don't interact with my moots for fame, or for notes, or for whatever it is you're trying to imply. Anon if I'm being honest, I don't care about all that shit. My work is something that I do for me and the few that tune in, and I for one am already perfectly fine with the small community that I'm in (And I love all of those who interact with me and I appreciate you all) + Tumblr is supposed to be a safe space where you can create whatever you want for your own happiness and vibe with whoever you want to, idk what side of Tumblr you are on but please don't bring this crap here and get a life 😭.

Ah lastly. (I can't believe I have to say this) But me and koue are our own person. I don't compare myself to them at all so why the heck do you feel the need to do so? Let people live anon TT. The world is already shit enough and comparison is the last thing that should be on everyone's mind.

That's really all I have to say. Have a good day.

Thinking about how between the first time we see Lister handle Rimmer's light bee (where he just immediately decides to put it in his mouth and later eat it. Average behavior.) and the part in Psirens when he catches it and treats it more gently, he was forced to crush the one belonging to High Rimmer with his bare hand, learning just how delicate it is

First things first, it's clear from the paneling that this arc was going to focus on Kirishima. Throughout this conversation, the panels kept cutting back to Kirishima's reaction even when he wasn't given any dialogue. Horikoshi did the same with Shouto at the beginning of the Provisional Licensing Exam Arc.

Second, are Amajiki and Nejire implying that Mirio created a villain? He clearly caused someone to become so distraught they left the hero course. But the "and caused all sorts of trouble" sounds like this person did more than just quit.

It's also worth mentioning that Mirio's over the top shows of force were resulting in an opposite reaction compared to All Might's shows of force. All Might inspired countless people to go into heroics. Albeit, he did inspire at least one villain (Stain). And All Might's behavior led to complacency in some heroes. But Mirio's shows of force up until this point only suppressed other hero hopefuls.

I still really love Act l of Arcane Season 2 and I was so hopeful with how everything was set up and I still think everything is the first Act was good, approaching Season 1 level.

However now that we have the whole season I’ve seen a lot more people start to interrogate the writing, specifically of Cait and Vi.

I was first to defend the way things were done in act l but now that we have the rest of the story it puts many of the choices in a different light and it’s definitely worth criticism.

It remains me a lot of how I feel about Wasteland, the scene of Ekko talking Jinx down. The scene itself is great, stunning and really shows the care both of them have for each other despite all they’ve been through. Ekko not giving up on her because he sees her value where she sees a curse. It’s interesting to see that at her lowest she doesn’t bother to hide that she cares deeply about him. It’s good (though objectively should have been longer) and in isolation I appreciate it.

Retroactively it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. After the ending and Jinx “sacrifice” (that’s set to the same song) I feel like the writers really didn’t care about Jinx coming back from rock bottom with her supports (not seeing anything in between doesn’t help this). She dies and it’s framed the same way as all of her previous attempts and now it’s framed as good. It poisons the scene with Ekko the same as Vi’s later writing poisons her decisions in Act l. Because we now know they don’t care and were not going to be responsible with what they were depicting.

That scene also seems to be unnaturally beautiful, combined with the glorification of Jinx’s sacrifice it’s sickening. They wanted a spectacle and that was what they chose to debut the Z -Drive….

Even the good parts have to be called into question after the later decisions.

Hi! How about Tails and Sonic just being bros for ur requests? :O 💙💛

They mean the world to me

[adelinamoteru]

purely fanon jason vent below so feel free to ignore

every other fic in the jason todd tag whether its romantic or platonic or whatever just has to include something about the no kill rule or him giving up killing like is it not enough ! have we not hashed out this argument enough already ! can I not read some jason content without having to be randomly bombarded by the morality police and how “oh jasons not killed anyone for x amount of months thats great! we knew u could do it jay”

and I wish I was just joking like I really do but I have scoured the tag almost from top to bottom and it always, without a doubt, has to come up at some point. its his fucking defining character trait apparently. mind u he’s not even the only dc character that kills but yall just won’t let it go! I do not need jason giving up his stance on killing to be written out for me to be able enjoy content about him

and whether its included so that his relationships with other characters can be viewed as ‘realistic’ is just so. what does it matter. its already fan-fiction who the hell cares about justifying the universe that you’re choosing to write him in

Thinking about TFP without Megatron if just to see what happens

Rewatching season 1 after finishing season 2 is a trip, because the contrast between start-of-s1 Fan Xian and end-of-s2 Fan Xian is wild.

At the start of season one, he’s so fresh-faced! So cute! He doesn’t yet want to murder anybody! He’s got no deep-seated rage! No real drive! No ruthless glint in his eye! He doesn’t yet have his own army of minions that he can sic on people!

And he carries himself simply. It’s not just the unsophisticated clothes, but his whole bearing. He’s a boy here—a talented, intelligent, self-confident young man. He’s curious. He’s open. He does not walk into a room expecting to command it, or to fight for his life in it with the people he hates. (He doesn’t yet hate anybody.) He doesn’t wear power like a mantle, deliberately flaunting it where he deems it necessary. (He doesn’t yet want anybody to fear him.) He doesn’t expect his words to matter to a great number of people just because he’s the one who said them. (He’s not yet used to being important.) In short, he doesn’t carry himself like a prince—yet. That’ll change in season 2.

(Fan Xian says, very sincerely, that he doesn’t want to belong to the royal family. I believe him! But I don’t think he’s noticed to what degree he carries with him now the easy assumption of power that characterises the royals.)

i will say i do wish that the 3rd episode would’ve been a proper rick AND morty episode. with episode one focusing on morty (and summer) and episode two focusing on rick (and space beth), it would’ve been fitting to have the 3rd episode be them together on some adventure

[reorientation]

zyn anon. sorry to spam your dms, i just have some updates i can't really share elsewhere lmao. only one of my irls know im fucking this boy but she doesn't know it was for nicotine pouches lmao

im not even "exchanging" my "services" for zyns anymore. i didn't like them at all, but id still occasionally ask for a tin or two here and there. to not let it get to his head ☺️. a month and a half later im just doing it for free 😒 he makes jokes now that im not even fucking him for product. and jokes that he got me addicted to him instead. so you were right about me becoming a budding addict for a straight mans cock.

we never had a convo about us being official, but he made it clear early on that he wants to be the only guy fucking me rn. i asked if he sleeps around with other girls, and he said he doesnt need to when im so eager for him. :/. he calls me his girlfriend in front of his roommate and gamer friends, too. but not to people we know mutually.

he's also a lot more affectionate now. we've been on an actual date, it was surprisingly romantic and really sweet, and not just me blowing him in his car. though I did after but that's not the point.

i pretty much dress exclusively femininely outside of our programs unisex uniform, i used run errands in boymode but im not even doing that anymore. i have a chosen name that can be shortened into something kinda feminine sounding so he just calls me that. even in front of classmates who dont know i have a pussy, and one that hes been inside of. and the "nickname" is catching on with our classmates too lol.

z anon. forgot to include the update. sorry, i ramble a lot.

i skipped my last two T shots ☺️ im still waiting on my iud appointment in a few weeks. unfortunately this also means i havent really been letting him inside me as often, since im still really scared of pregnancy especially this early on in this weird situation. i am blowing him a lot though lol. it's a win win for me since being on my knees for him with his cock down my throat is so damn hot, especially when he's kinda fucking my face and pulls my hair during it. but fuck its probably been at least a week since his cocks been in me and i miss it. a lot lol. hes so manly and strong, i miss how feminine i feel when im under him. his body would just inadvertently pin me in place, im painfully aware of how small and feminine i am in comparison to him. how truly heterosexual it all is.

but i cannot trust myself bro like i know even if i insist on him using a condom ill end up asking for him to take it off. if he doesnt outright refuse. and like it's so difficult because that turns me on more. i know ill end up having his dick in me sometime before I get my iud, i just gotta be responsible and power through the demons.

im still dysphoric through this situation, especially since stopping T and the fear of like. the few times hes cum in me before havimg a little more serious consequences. despite taking plan b after each time. but the horny part of my brain has never been happier. whenever i feel like backing out, i send him nudes or text him smth risky just for extra self encouragement. but he's on a camping vacation thing rn with his family, and the service is shit and i miss him 🥺 even outside of sex.

like I want to become his girlfriend, truly. and that would have me become a girl for him. which basically means becoming a girl fulltime. i guess that would actually just be going back to being a girl. all for a straight boy 🤦🏻

its hugely dysphoric but kinda nice, like a part of me hates how he's so much bigger and way more masculine than me without any effort, even outside of us having heterosexual sex. i get so dysphoric that he's taller, bigger, way stronger and just so clearly male. but apparently, i enjoy being a girl for him more than i hate it.

(Previously)

You know, Anon, this is awfully romantic.

I mean, listen to yourself. You got into this as a whore, offering to suck his dick for discounted nicotine pouches, but now you're pining over him, and wanting to be a proper girl so that you can be his girlfriend. You're definitely still a whore, but you're a whore with a heart of gold.

Not a smart whore, though. So scared of pregnancy, but you stopped your T before getting on real birth control, knowing that you can't stop yourself from begging for his bare cock. You're so desperate to be a good girl for him that you're consciously ramping up the risk of having his baby, just so that you can return to full femininity a little sooner.

You know, I got this anon after your last ask:

They're not quite right, in that this first update doesn't include a pregnancy announcement. But it's been a bit since you sent me this, and reading what you sent me, it's not hard to imagine you having already gotten started on the path to being a cute little baby mama to your straight boyfriend.

But even if you haven't... You're never going to be able to forget what this was like, will you? Losing your virginity to a straight man, and so easily losing your identity with it. Being pinned down by him with your legs spread and his bare cock in your pussy. The simple force of a man on top of you, and how simple it was to slip back into womanhood and welcome him in.
