I dont like the "Sigewinne is Wriothesley's daughter!" Headcanon.

At first i didnt mind it. Before i played Fontaine's Storyquests i keept seeing those cute fanarts of them being potrayed as Dad and child and thought they were so adorable, i was conviced that i would see that dynamic on the story.

But then i played The whole Fontaine's Storyquest, then the Wriothesley mission, and finally the Sigewinne one. And not even once i saw an interaction between them that amade me feel like they have that relationship, in fact, i started questioning that it was weird to see them as that...

Im not gonna debate if Sigewinne is a child or an adult, but it is canon that she is OLDER than him and that she saw him grow up since he was a child. I dont belive he is capable of seeing her as a daughter.

On Sigewinne's Storyquest there was a part where Paimon refers to her as "Wriothesley's younger co-workers" and Wrio HIMSELF inmediatelly corrects her to say that Sigewinne is older than him. This scene made me realize how fucking crazy this headcanon is on Wriothesley's perspective:

Imagine that you have a coworker thats an ageless non-human creature that lived over 500 years and met you since you were a kid. You work alongside this person through the years and actually became friends and have a good relationship even when working. Then people looking at you two are like "awww is that your kid?", i would be like uh.

Also i dont think i can recall a single moment between them where they acted in a way that can be intrepeted as parent and child, their interactions were always formal or friendly but not that. The only thing that i guess can count is how she likes to put stickers on his things but even that feels like kinds of a stretch to me lmao.

The real reason why i dislike this hc is because to me is so reductive of both of their characters. I found their backstories interesting and i really like their characters, and this headcanons always seems to come from people who didnt really pay attention to their stories or interactions and just want to force that relationship in them.

Sigewinne goes from being this kind, curious non-human creature that took years to be trusted by humanity and now dedicates to take care of everyone's health because she cares about others, to being "OMG she is a KAWAII DESU NE child! Awwwwww!!!! She plays doctors and is very pretty!!! That handsome guy is def her daddy!! :333". Almost everyone who i saw with this headcanon doesnt give two shits about Sigewinne as a character, they only like her because she is "a cute kid with a pretty design" and they can force her to be Wrio's kid so they can pretend he is a Dilf.

You know what their relationship is more like to me? Just Coworkers that trust in each other, thats it. I likr their friendship, its cute how they clearly care about their job but also about each other, they always make a good team. But its def not familiar, at least not on my opinion.

I have nothing against people who have this headcanon, but i wish they stoped acting as if it was "canon" or the only aceptable way to intrepet their relationship. Especially if theyre gonna use it to "confirm" their fuckass ships, like thats when i absolutelly hate this headcanon.

idk, its just my opinion but this hc is forced af and it stoped being cute when i started paying attention to their stories and interactions.

persona 3 reload came out yesterday so Naturally i was obligated to finally do a finished piece with my silly velvet room attendants submas au. alt versions, lore info, and misc doodles under the cut o__o (attendant related p5 spoilers mentioned). also sorry for the eyestrain.

protags they attend to are Fellow Twins hilda and hilbert who always just get referred to as 'passenger(s)'. velvet room manifestation is the inside of a subway car, no i havent worked out what that symbolizes to hilda and hilbert, dont worry about it. but i think whether its visibly in motion or not wld depend on the protags' mental state, one side of the windows for hilda and one for hilbert. mostly dark empty with no visual movement outside the windows w/ maybe a flickering station light somewhere or a visibly blocked tunnel for when theyre feeling stuck in life, default would be like a well lit platform outside of the window with faceless shadow people walking around, how crowded it is depends on their progress with social links. high speed through the tunnels with their half of the car rocking violently when there's high stress super dire stuff going on, steady movement when theyre making progress with something, etc etc

their brassards HOPEFULLY translate to 'down' (χάμω) and 'up' (πάνω) in greek??? i wanted smth like caroline and justine's hats but also not The Same and uhhh yknow. persona 3 and greek mythology are pretty :handshake:.

i dont wanna steal margaret's eldest sibling clout so i think physically ingo and emmet would be younger than her but only barely. margaret is literally the only attendant i can see being physically over like 35 and i need sbms to be mid thirties at like the bare minimum. theyre highkey disturbed whenever lavenza willingly splits herself back into caroline and justine. weirded out by the other 'twins' in general bc they're not even Real twins. they gatekeep being twins. if anyone asks "so are you guys also just two halves of one person" it will be the most offensive thing you could ever say to them. elizabeth and emmet bully theodore together. ingo doesnt dislike theodore but just kind of forgets he exists because the twins are always being like "my brother, [name] (pauses and remembers theodore), i mean, ONE of my brothers,"

emmet is very :handshake: with elizabeth while ingo is very :handshake: with margaret. they both have their own fave sisters whoops. (sorry lavenza). in any sort of 'dancing game' scenario theyre both awkward as hell. very theodore core in general with emmet having some of the elizabeth vibes of just 'i am just never going to stop making random jerky body movements' ingo is a BIT more stiff. but like in general i think theo's way of life and elizabeth's aria of the soul have pretty good ingo and emmet vibes respectively. if i ever learn model editing beyond texture replacement its so over for my mmds.

i love igor dearly but i think since there are Two of them they can kinda handle stuff on their own while igor helps with Other persona protags in their respective rooms? emmet says shit like "YEAH FUCK IGOR THIS IS OUR LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!" and ingos like "emmet be nice thats still our boss and the only reason he let us be in charge is because hes busy".

ingo handles all persona fusion stuff and emmet does storage/organization/other misc stuff and gives you p3 elizabeth styled quests. they can both be social linked because i say so. emmet is justice arcana and ingo is judgement. emmets quests are the only way or at least the main way to increase your social link with him and if you dont finish one of his Special Request ones you lose your link with him. one of the special requests is to take him and ingo to see a real subway station 100% because theyve never seen one.

of all the other velvet rooms, they like the p4 one the most because the inside of the limo is the closest to the subway car they're familiar with but i think theyd like the p3 one too for the possible rocking motion of the elevator eternally going up

thats all i can think of right now i THINK thats everything??? so heres an original concept sketch,

and also a funny emmet quest moments doodle

oh yeah emmet really fucking loves jack frost because they have similar vibes. ingo, on the other hand, is a big pyro jack fan.

i swear to god people are so fucking weird about autistic characters. chill your shit. quinni was showing darren why she masks becuase the real her isnt 'socially acceptable' yes, this is an autism thing, but lets step back from that for a second. in season two quinni is discovering how to be herself, and who she really is, like EVERYONE ELSE in the show because theyre literally SIXTEEN. shes learning to prioritise her own needs over other's needs, because shes been living for everyone else her whole life, this is not an autism thing, anyone can learn to listen to their needs, quinni's needs are just different to her nt friends, which is the thing that people dont get.

and my next point, if you want to say shes annoying, thats not ableism, you are legally allowed to dislike a character, do whatever the fuck you want. tbh everyone in the show is a little annoying at times. but if quinni is the only one you hate and its because of her unmasking then screw you tbh (also she is my princess queen and youre not allowed to hate her, says the law /not srs). anyway sorry if this comes off agressively its just that every fandom ive been in with an autistic character this shit comes up. shes not 'getting a pass' because shes autistic, it just contextualises her actions, youre not autiomatically ableist if you dislike quinni, do whatever you want im not your dad, unless you hate her for her autism and autistic traits, then fuck off

[ashyslashyy]

genuine question why dont you like billford?

is it just a "i don't see these two in a romantic light" or more of an active dislike of the two of them together?

1. i dont see them in a romantic light because. what about that is romantic. yes some of the language bill uses in tbob is typically romantic but like. That doesnt really mean anything this is bill we're talking about. from fords perspective it makes absolutely no sense for this to be romantic even before he found out bill was using him. like. bill is this otherworldly being that is supposedly there to bestow knowledge upon ford. thats like. Not really romantic i dont think???? like. even if bill had no cruel intentions and Was helping ford and whatever this still seems like more of an academic/work-based partnership than a romantic one. and like. with what ive said so far im giving people the benefit of the doubt that they only ship them like. Before ford found out bill was being a dick which is still weird considering bill is still actively lying to him but like. Bill ruined fords life. basically everything we've learned recently has shown just how little control ford actually had and how fucking vicious bill was being at every opportunity. This isnt cute. this isnt romantic. hes just fucking torturing him!!! ford has lifelong trauma from this shit!!!!!

2. i dont dislike seeing them together i really really like their character dynamic!! But theyre just. Not characters that should be shipped together. i draw bill and ford together all the time sometimes for jokes sometimes in a serious horror context but i dont see the point in drawing them being all cute and blushing or whatever because its such a massive misinterpretation of everything going on here. like i said they have a very interesting and well written character dynamic But the way people seem to talk about it and make art for it makes my blood boil because it feels like they completely ignore all the stuff that makes it interesting in favor of drawing yaoi or something.

TLDR: i dont think any of the stuff with ford and bill is meant to be seriously interpreted as romantic and about 99% of the time its just complete mischaracterization whenever i see people ship them. ALSO BILL FUCKING ABUSED HIM MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. LIKE. HORRIBLY. HELLO. let ford be happy for once he doesnt need this

[LONG RANT ABOUT FANDOM INCOMING I AM SO SORRY]

idk how to open this but ykw fuck it, i'll cut to the chase: imo some ppl in this fandom (mostly with the ppl on r/glassanimals, but its in other sites aswell) dont rlly know how to give criticism that isn't just plain insults

[more below (so it wont clog up the ga tag)]

theres nothing wrong with ACTUAL, CONSTRUCTIVE, HEALTHY CRITICISM dont get me wrong! whenever you like ilysfm or not, imo its important to like, have a healthy conversation, be respectful and be like "I like/dislike this album and imo I think it could've been better if x, y, z " and thats valid! even if its just "this album is/isn't my thing" thats ok! thats alright! I've seen people be respectful and give constructive criticism and have a convo!

I get the frustration aswell! I get that ppl wish for music that they like, and that ga dipping their toes (haha get it) into the pop genre for the second time in a row makes them feel estranged!

but the way some people try and "criticise" album 4 is just.. not it.

do some of yall think that "its not zaba therefore its a cashgrab and its mid and ga fell of and theyre sellouts" is constructive criticism? that's just plain insults with no taste! thats not healthy and doesnt start a good convo either!

like at some point you don't seem like a ga fan anymore and just a zaba stannie!

some ppl acting like zaba is superior and ga owes them more zaba is kinda weird to me cause like, they dont owe you anything! they dont know us! and we only know the parts they want us to see online!

and it's also not the first rodeo! this happened before! (definetly happened with dreamland but not sure on htbahb)

the take of "why are they making repetitive music" while you want ga to make another zaba AKA MAKE REPETITIVE MUSIC is a hypocritical take! It's not a good look I'm sorry!

and the take of "lp4 is full of generic love songs for depressed 13 year olds" that I've seen from a few people ain't good cause like, this album is full of depressing-at-best, toxic-at-worst relationships! just cause it's about love doesn't mean it's instantly generic! the lyrics aren't like "we would be together in the stars we would be so lovey dovey" "i wish you loved me back" "youre the air that i breathe", they're more like "ive been kidnaped and developed stockholm syndrome" "hey i fucking hate your guts but i still lowkey love yo- oh shit the songs ending" "we fell out of love and i cant change that no matter how hard I try". like IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU BRO! like misinterpreting these lyrics so badly my god-

also the fact that some went like "ga should be ashamed and embarressed for releasing this" is rlly sad to me, like I remember Dave saying that this is his most personal work and he had to get vulnerable first before making it, and saying that he should be embarressed for pouring his heart out is kinda :[ to me (maybe because vulnerabillity is a very important trait to me, but moving on)

or the take that "theyre making radio-friendly tiktok music" like what radio would play a song with lyrics mentioning ball gags and being tied up??????

like this is unproductive, lowkey unhealthy, very repetitive and very tiring imo. people are getting tired of the same ol recycled, poorly disguised as "criticism", bare insults. most of the time in the reddit, some here, on twitter, insta and discord. this has been repeated ad nauseam, and it's getting nowhere imo.

so uh yea. that's my thoughts on this whole thing

thanks for reading :] -A

[im-smart-i-swear]

tfw youre trying to reconsile with your estranged '''''twin''''''' after months of avoiding each other (their fault)(they were a dick to you)(and shot you) but they just cant stop making it weird & about how theyre a terrible person

i think these twos relationship is very interesting. at the begenning buddy treated kuro like shit bc they were projecting their self-hate and guilt on him, also exasparated by them being technically twins. later kuro moved out bc of that and the two of them didnt see each other again for months.

when they met again buddy apologised but they didnt really form any deep relationship. they are both uncomfortable with each others presence due to how their relationship started & the imposed familial status that neither of them feels good about.

buddy feels guilty for how they treated kuro, they are also aware that this is just another failure in a long line of their failures. they know they fucked up, theyre used to that feeling at this point, and they simply accept that fact. theyre sorta weirdly apathetic about the whole thing when meeting kuro again - they made peace with what theyve done wrong and are just trying to do damage control atp.

basically they said 'i know what i did to you was fucked up and im sorry. i have a history of fucking things up and i did it again. im trying to be better and i fail time and time again but i will try again anyway, even if theres a huge possibility ill just mess up again. im trying to set things right and ill disappear from your life if thats what you want. you dont have to forgive me or like me. im sorry' (<-also notice how this apology is still sorta centered around how bad of a person bud is and not what they put kuro through. buds self-loathing is still shining through here even as they are trying to set things straight. in their effort to try and explain their thought process they accidentally focused on the wrong thing!!!! they dont really mean it that way but to kuro thats what it comes off as)

kuro used to hate or at least heavily dislike bud for a long time and thinks theyre a self centered asshole and also just plainly annoying. even the apology he got from them after months of radio silence on both ends didnt feel like enough to him. it felt like buddy was just using the apology as an opportunity to say 'im a bad person. sorry for that lol it will propably happen again, do with this info what you will'. it pisses him off a bit and he propably yells at buddy for it, who is very apologetic and just takes it, which just pisses kuro even more bc he WANTS a confrontation, hes angry and hurt and is airing out his frustrations at bud and he wants a reaction but he gets none. buddy knows very well what they did and are treating this as a sort of righteus punishment

so overall. i think their relationship is just kinda like this for a few years - long periods of avoiding each other interspersed with a few outbursts (sometimes kuro starts and sometimes bud does). after a few more years i feel like things might start being better, but thats only bc they both gradually grow as people sepeartely, which just has the side effect of making them both more chill. maaaaybe after a decade or two the animosity stops and they become friendly with each other but i dont rlly think they ever get to Twin Level Closeness. at that point both of them have their own fullfilling lives and are fine with things as they are

...or maybe not. idk man im still working shit out so this might all change and in a few months this whole rant will be ooc and innacurate, who knows! i certainly dont

(Also the doodle at the top isn't meant to portray The Apology itself, its just a little scene i thought was neat, dunno where exactly it (or if it even) falls on Da Timeline)

TRIPLY WHAMMY: The Monstrous, 🕸, and then I couldn't decide on the cat one so Tabby AND White Cat :3c

I guess that makes this a QUADRUPLE WHAMMY but that rolls off the tongue less good

math was never our strong side lets just say its cuz its from three different games. thanks for the ask babes xoxo The Monstrous this one is funny to me because as far as i know canonically frank gets to be at least two supernatural creatures. collecting that shit like he does other men's wives. anyway im not gonna be creative here and ill just say werewolf. big hairy often commits murder in a messy way and ends up covered in blood. but also there are so many long texts about how misunderstood the werewolf is as a figure. so like it fits in my mind. maybe if i got a long list of all mythical creatures and spent an hour reading it id come up with something more creative but this works too no?

🕸️

(song that reminds you of your ship) LIKE THREE actually none of them very extraordinary brave choices but im gonna go for the funniest one out of them black and white by kombi. the polish one. yeah. because okay listen. one thats just his color palette. haha. the song itself is about seeing the world in only those colors which is also very him. "life has no middle ground // love rule and divide" like okay do you hear me. please. i love assigning polish songs to fictional characters.

Tabby (are they snuggly?) right so i think meta menardi gets very cuddly and affectionate with frank because shes overwhelmed a little......... by what she feels. and now this is where it gets tricky for me because like. its not that he doesnt like it. its not that he exactly likes it either. its weird. its unusual. it takes up so much of his time for no reason and hes always got better things to do than this. but also once shes hugging him he doesnt really want to leave because as much as he dislikes it and he hates how soft she always is with him, its so... nice. so uh i guess point being meta is snuggly as hell, maybe less so when sleeping, frank isnt for the most part at least not actively but as time goes on both his enjoyment of and how bad he feels about the affection grow. ARGH i have a lot of thoughts about this specifically but i cant put them into words ever. their whole thing is just a bit complicated but in an entirely different way than frank is used to by that point. plus the more he genuinely likes her in any way the less he wants to stay because yeah sure she has some powers but she is NOT used to the level of danger he brings (the place she's a spider-person for is relatively chill) and hes reminded of that every time she holds him in any way. he likes having his arms around her in some way (standing behind her, keeping her by his side etc) and her favorite is cradling his head to her chest. like a baby. he doesnt like when she puts it like that.

White Cat (are the f/os eyes striking?) i said it once under some post but like hes got that fucking. blue-eyed people stare. so in that way yes. but also since its frank the look in his eyes is almost always a little unsettling. because of the uh you know. the war trauma and the murder trauma and the violent tendencies overall. but meta likes them, she likes the little changes in them depending on what hes thinking. subtle but there and shes always soo proud of herself to catch them. also to me (and by extension to her ahaha) hes just. in some strange way. real pretty. in turn frank doesnt think metas eyes are "striking" exactly but he does thing they fit her a lot. theyre round, warm, and with a look of naivety. like they are by all logic so common and so unremarkable really (which is fitting because nearly everything about her is - she is the common cave spider afterall!) but theres this softness in the way she looks at him that makes it special. shame she doesn't like him seeing them though.

sorry for yapping this came out longer than i wanted it to but im just so desparate to share things and do things and have them be percieved. yeah

3, 7, 10, 37 and 50 + your most special OC atm for the OC questions?

3. Do they enjoy cooking?

i think if u put afhiri in front of a fire something terrible would happen :) however since her mans be a housewife in disguise who absolutely adores cooking for everyone and anyone, they definitely Watch.. and they think it's Really Cool and Awesome.. they are indeed impressed that gale can make things that taste good . but absolutely no one would trust afhiri to cook. i think gale would scream as an instant reaction if she reached for a cooking utensil .........

7. Do they have any unusual fears?

hmmmmmmm.. this is a difficult one.

i can see afhiri being the type of person who fears absolutely nothing. i mean, i don't think they do fear anything, genuinely. this clown doesn't have that part of the brain that yells danger danger for them to experience fear in a base regard. they absolutely fear for their friends lives when they're hurt in combat, they fear gale's death, they fear very real and understandable things. but these things are also cured so quickly with a reassuring word because if loved one says there's no need to fear there's no need to fear! unusual though?

i can see them having stupid, illogical, weird one off fears, "what if you turn into a gnoll!" "can't turn into a gnoll, dear, i'm not a hyena" "oh....... thats good. being a gnoll would be pretty cool though" "yes dear" you know how it is. can absolutely see astarion giving a shit ass comment like YOU'RE AFRAID OF THAT BUT NOT THE MYRAID OF THINGS WE'VE ENCOUNTERED THAT WERE ACTUALLY LIFE THREATENING? ah.. theres no point fighting it astarion you will only exhaust urself my friend

but it is safe to say even the weird fears could not be considered real fear, just being a bit stupid

10. Do they have any regrets?

no, easily, no. i don't see afhiri being capable of regret. every action is done on instinct, it's gut reaction, it's doing what feels right at the time and there's no way you can regret being true to yourself like that. even in those rare occasions they look to friends for guidance, how can they regret a choice they had help with, when that help came from someone they love and trust entirely? nah, there's no regret in this clown

37. Are they religious? If so do they have a strong sense of faith, are they uncertain, or are they somewhere in between?

afhiri is fucking stupid and didn't think gods were real. in a d&d setting. absolute moron (affectionate). it wasn't until being close to the explicitly religious members of the group (shadowheart and gale) that they started to think about it seriously and not like fairytales for children. since these two are like. yknow. very insistent that gods do be real things, afhiri, she believes they are real things now. progress. but that just leads to immense dislike. ok, so ur telling me, that higher beings with the ability to do whatever the fuck they want, including help people in need, not allow people like my family to struggle with basic things like making sure everyone can eat today, could help us with our problems, and theyre also.. causing your hand to hurt constantly, and making my babyboy clowny silly wizard man cry at night? ok. so why do we worship them? sounds like theyre shitheads. does a strong sense of faith mean a strong sense of im gonna punch shar and mystra so hard in the nose it collapses into their skulls? (breaks her own hand. worth it)

its safe to say if afhiri is opinionated on anything its that the things hurting their loved ones are evil. that includes gods

50. What is your favourite thing about them?

answered here hehe

but instead this time i'll say my favourite thing about afhiri is that they've helped me bond with so many cool people who care about my ideas and creativity and i think thats really neat and deserves to be appreciated by speaking it into the world in a small moment of vulnerability

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

gonna be honest brother i block bad takes on sight and forget 😂 the one where someone said ocelot didnt have a torture kink always cracks me up tho like. thats not a just bad take thats wholly incorrect.

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

i agree with what you said on huey, i dont LIKE huey as a person but he is a very interesting and very well written character, and i think if you don't appreciate that, you lose a lot.

additionally i think people should talk about pequod more. i dont think hes disliked per se but he just doesnt come up much. we know literally nothing about him. hes adorable. he has a funny little mustache. he does anything you ask. please love him.

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

i dont know how prevalent it is tbh because i dont look for it, but i personally dont like ocelhira where they genuinely both like each other. esp not lovey dovey/fluff/soft shit between them. ocelot may be neutral towards or even like kaz, but i dont think kaz likes him at all. i think kaz is jealous of how ocelot's known and worked with big boss much longer than he has, and wasnt informed about him until after everything had gone to shit. he only ever wanted to be big boss's equal, and discovering secrets like this i think would destroy any notion he had of actually being equal to him.

post-tpp i could maybe see it a little more because kaz has been informed about v and vowed to work against big boss. sure, theyre working toward opposite goals irt big boss BUT they are also on a more even ground. kaz can view ocelot as an equal rather than someone hes losing a race to, because he no longer cares to have a relationship with bb.

his vendetta against big boss is personal. he has no such thing against ocelot anymore. and i could see something coming of that.

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

i need cobra content. i need missions i need shenanigans i need whatever-the-hell-kind-of-weird-family-they-have dynamics.

or just more of the sorrow and sorrowjoy in general.

from here!

about the wrestling as the scourge of evil thing i'm leftcom and i go work with a bunch of different anarchist and ml organisations and yeah definitely like people 100% think it's opiate of the masses type shit which is insane because they also don't seem to feel the same way about other spectacle-sports. like i would argue pro wrestling is not even close to being unique in its landscape whether it's interpreted as a fixed variation on combat sport culture or as a variation on mass theatre but for some reason a lot of anarchists and mls (and probably other left people) think it's uniquely evil. while at the same time being like football fans or something. it's a weird critique to have i feel like. like i would actually be more swayed if it were to argue about the function of entertainment-as-such (including sports, including high-profile art) in society but i don't see how pro wrestling is worse than other things. it serves the function of the gladiator but. so do all spectator sports and i would argue all performance mediums in general. it also feels unfamiliar with wrestling beyond its reputation usually like as its own field and the way it relates to its influences and audience. also mark fisher is very inconsistent in quality of criticism sometimes i'm like wow so true mark and sometimes it's like. i disliked it so it's counterrevolutionary

okay first of all ur so right about mark fisher. like some of his stuff genuinely so good and the other half is like middle aged man yells at a cloud

anyway, yes i 100% have encountered the exact same attitudes towards wrestling and like, i genuinely agree with them but theyre true for both spectator sports and entertainment media as a whole! im not going to argue that wrestling is uniquely anticapitalist or whatever, its certainly rotten from the inside as an industry, but ive had people argue with me that in an anarchist society it wouldnt exist, which is patently insane

like, first of all i detest utopianism and i think while keeping in mind the ideal society we want to strive for can be important for an ideology its really stupid to be like well post capitalism this wont be a thing therefore it is evil. anyway like i feel like anarchists (i cant speak on marxist leninists bc all the ones i know are over 50 and mainly like wrestling) single out wrestling as like the gladiator stand-in for modern society even though thats true for hockey and football and everything else, even arguably theatre, because they dont really know much about it besides the sort of popular conception

anyway it ultimately doesnt really matter im just mad everyone gets to enjoy their marvel movies and hungarian football and whatnot but my specific opiate of the masses is deemed too problematic for discussion. like man if you get to play tears of the kingdom i get to set mark david as my phone background

[lunatic-fandom-space]

Im about to watch RWBY Volume 9 because I need some background noise while I translate a german version of Jesus Christ Superstar and then I remembered that I watched that RWBY DC crossover a few days ago as background noise while I made my lyric videos and then I wanted to make a post about my thoughts but then I just. never did. So I might as well do it now

Before that though, I feel the need to explain myself and my lyric-video-translation process. Basically, what I do is I pick my song that Id like to translate from german to english and then I make what is essentially a normal lyric video, which involves a lot of me listening to the song a bunch of times so I can make sure everything is properly synched up, in this particular case I actually had to listen to the entirety of the song in order to make sure it was actually synched because something went horribly wrong with my editing app and I couldnt figure out how to fix it. And then once Im done with my lyric video I can just kinda turn the audio off and add my english translation without worrying about anything because Ive already synched everything up properly. When I do musical soundtracks like this I usually synch up all the lyrics for all the songs first before getting to the actual translation process, which means theres a long period of time where Im just kinda listening to the same part over and over, except worse and it took me even longer this time because again, something went wrong and I had to listen to the songs from the beginning, otherwise it just inexplicably wouldnt synch up, and because I have a low attention span Im usually watching youtube videos or movies Ive already seen at this point

Now, I was still in the lyric video stage when I watched this movie (I was doing Pilate and Christ if youre curious) so picture this: im sitting in front of my computer, I have this RWBY DC crossover open in some piracy site bc I was looking for A Movie and this one came out recently so it was on the front page, I have my tablet with the lyric video Im about to make in front of me, Im wearing headphones, one of them isnt actually on my ear because I need to be able to hear both the song and the movie at the same time, Im playing the song over and over again as I watch the movie, slowly zoning out entirely the further I get into it because thats just kinda what happens when youre forced to listen to the same first two minutes of a song even when you do have some background noise to break up the monotony a little

The reason Im giving you that long winded explanation of the boring shit I do for fun is because I want to stress to you that I was practically physically incapable of properly paying attention to anything. So you would think that I would also be incapable of finding shit to criticize or complain about, after all, I barely managed to watch the movie

And you would be very wrong. Im gonna be honest I just wrote that long intro to whatever this is in like 20 minutes and Ive already run out of steam so please enjoy this bullet point list of mostly shit I didnt like about this crossover, as someone who doesnt know anything about DC and also didnt pay a lot of attention just in general

The Justice Leagues semblances were so bad you can tell they just kinda took their existing superpowers, barely if at all modified them and went "yep, those are semblences alright" and as a result Superman, Wonderwoman and Green Lantern all basically have the same semblance, which inexplicably consists of multiple unrelated abilities and also Vixen's semblance seems pretty similar to theirs as well

The dialogue was so awkward man, I know some stan is gonna try and defend it by being like "well none of these people know each other ofc theyre gonna be awkward" guess what, i dont care if you can like stuff about this show for no reason I can dislike stuff about this show for no reason

That weird love triangle between Nora, Ren and Cyborg was so weird and unnecessary and idk why it was there

'Weird, unecessary and idk why it was there' is honestly a great way to describe this whole movie, I dont get why they did this Isekai thing with the Justice League I feel like this wouldve been better if they were already just characters in RWBY's world but I guess then neither continuity would be able to really consider it canon which would be bad I guess??? Idk i think this crossover thing was a bad idea tbh and they shouldve made it more of a cross-promotional thing where its like "lookat the RWBYfied versions of these DC characters!!" "oooooo look at the DCified versions of these RWBY characters!!" for one movie each if you know what I mean

Speaking of pointless romance, I saw some people say that they didnt like the weird romantic subplot between Bruce and Weiss but honestly, I didnt even see one there they had less romantic sparks flying between them than Bumbleby and thats saying a lot, not that I was paying too much attention

Ive seen some DC fans say that Bruce's thing about him maybe not wanting to leave Remnant because hes got powers there was really out of character and idk anything about that, I just know that that whole thing was pointless and barely set up and didnt mean anything at all for anyone

Ruby's arc about learning to be a better team leader is something that she shouldve had in like volume 4 max this is too late into the show for the Main Character whos been leading A Team since basically day one to learn how to do it, then again its not like shes gotten any meaningful screentime in the past 9 years so maybe that justifies it

Killgore or Killg%re or whatever was just cringe

When Killgore was explaining his plan and how he was working with someone and then it turned out that he was actually trapped in this VR world by that someone, I thought, oh its probably Salem given that shes yknow, the main villain. I mean, it doesnt really make sense why she would do all this shit but its not like her motivations and actions have ever been consistent right. And then he was like "he" and I went, its fucking Ironwood?? Are you joking?? Like, yeah, I'll give them a smidge of credit here, that does make more sense but I hate how these guys' weird desire to demonize Some Guy gets in the way of even attempting to make The Actual Main Villain even remotely threatening. Someone tell MKEK that sidelining a female character in favor of a male character isnt suddenly less sexist because shes Satan Herself but they wanna villanize the "shitty white guy" instead

The action scenes were decent enough, obviously nowhere near the level of Volume 1-3s fightscenes but Ive definitely seen worse from RWBY at this point

I guess the mystery aspect was fine too I was atleast kinda intrigued

And to end this whole thing on a somewhat positive note, heres some stuff I actually kinda liked:

While the isekai thing honestly doesnt seem like a good idea, it was still kinda fun watching people from a setting more similar to our world interact with Remnant and try to blend in even though they had no idea what was going on

I kinda liked Barry, he was pretty fun

I really liked Jessica, her finding that ring and saying that rhyming incantation actually gave me goosebumps, her VA was really good. I just wish she didnt spend all her screentime with Jaune and also I wish Jaune died already

I liked that they were wearing their Beacon Era outfits for most of it so I didnt have to endure their absolutely horrendous Atlas outfits although I am about to watch Volume 9 and they dont get an outfit change from what Ive seen so. You cant run from your problems forever I guess

Thats about it, but to bring this thing full circle Id like to once again elaborate on my lyric video translation stuff. Right now Im fully done with the lyric videos and all I gotta do is add in the english translations which I can do without needing to listen to the music, which means I can actually listen to the dialogue at the very least even if Im not properly looking at the screen. I was originally gonna do the same thing with Volume 9 as the crossover movie which is to say, blast music while watching and fully zoning out half the time but I figured the actual volume deserves a little more respect than that. I mean, thats still not a lot but RT isnt getting any more than this from me

cherry blossom and broken heart about pix ^_^ or fwhip. your empires guys

🌸 my favorite headcanon

pix: tattoossss he has so many tattoos. near full sleeves and chest and back like newt geiszler pacific rim. i've seen a couple people do this before usually with it being linked to pixandrian religion and once he moves there that definitely is part of it (he also gets some unwilling scars/brands as part of the whole lightning shrine thing which sorta blend in) but he also had a lot before he moved just because he likes em! he still covers a lot of them up though out of force of habit

fwhip: iwas going to type out my actual fave ones but then i realised i sounded like an utter psychopath because theyre like. the most fucked up parts of his arc SORRY i do like to think of him as very restless though. constantly moving and tapping his fingers and feet and crossing and uncrossing his legs and he can't sit normally in a chair he has to lounge across it or sit upside down or flip it around and sit backwards. this is one of those things he would never dare do as a kid cause he had a pretty strict upbringing but now he's unstoppable. they haven't invented adderall yet

💔 what I don’t like about a character

pix: im going to heal the hater within me and not talk about this from a meta standpoint because ive said enough already about both characters wasted potential/unfinished storylines. SO i think he has a serious victim complex. especially in his relationship with fwhip but also just in general he takes things soooo hard and feels so responsible for everything but then it sort of turns round into an endless cycle of him beating himself up and its like Can you focus on the fucking matter at hand. It's difficult to say if this is something i Dislike because it's just a trait he has at the end of the day and a very essential one to his arc i would argue that his fate hinges on his inability to let things go so it's not like i would ever want to get rid of it but he makes me Angry.

fwhip: honestly he is just sort of an annoying cunt i can't be nice about that part cfwhip is known to be a bit of a dick. he's not even that malicious i just think he's very childish in the way he deals with shit? which isn't really his fault in some ways but. WAIT GOD THE ENTIRE ARC WITH JIMMY okay i take that all back sorry i was trying to think of an example of him being a weird dick for no reason and thats exactly it he gets sooo petty and cruel over the slightest of things. i also dont know if hes capable of genuine remorse without having to at least make a joke about it but . this is one that i genuinely do dislike again not in a way i'd try to ignore it or whatever because he's a fucked up kind of guy but the disc wars will always be the worst to me some of those streams genuinely fucked with me a bit when i watched them the first time. blows him up with a grenade launcher

[rememberthelaughtermp3]

gonna get a bit personal here but basically. i think my friend might like me?? bc they keep joking about how people probably think we're dating, theyre always super super affectionate with me, like way more than with anyone else, and theyre super excited whenever ppl mistake us for a couple. and thats cool and all... but i really dont feel the same. it also just feels weird bc they always want to do all this coupley shit and keep saying stuff like "haha everyone thinks we're gay for each other but we're not... are we?" but then also say that they wont date anyone until theyve fully finished uni which is... ages away. so it kinda feels like they just want the affection and intimacy of a relationship without the commitment part. and im pretty much fine with being affectionate with my friends and all, but this feels kinda icky and weird. i have no idea how to bring it up with them as well, bc theyre going thru a hard time and i dont want them to think i dislike them or dont want us to be friends. and maybe ive misread this whole situation entirely, and then everything would be super awkward.

idk, just needed to get this off my chest

[whatdoinose]

im gunna break this down as a pro endo traumagenic system, but know i'm interacting in good faith and for the sake of discussion. not discourse.

[responding to the second paragraph]

I think more can be said about this you're not saying so i want to add on: Anyone who was anti endo and now demonizes all anti endos as SO inherently different from them is stupid. point blank. they change their opinions and are refusing to take accountability for them it feels. like, yea, you can dislike the beliefs you had but to seperate yourself from them and act like youre so holier than thou ,, is weird. fundamentally. if theyre so evil, and you used to be one, then you don't really get to act as if youre the only moral standard ever. i think anti endos should be judged on actions purely. to insinuate theyre all so evil and harassment based and blah blah blah, but kinda shove under the rug you used to be one is laughable. like okay then why were you one? do you get what i'm saying?

im gunna offer an anecdote here:

back in 2019, when we were 11-12, we were deeply into the whole 'truscum' shit. we first learned about transness from fucking kalvin garrah and blaire white and shit, and just kinda agreed with whatever was fed to us. thats horrible! those are HARMFUL beliefs! and we recognize that! so, now, when criticizing trans inclusive radical feminists or people who don't like X type of queer people, we keep that in mind. demonizing something while you were IN those spaces is just as toxic. it implies you are more discourse oriented than discussion oriented, and atp just give up. that is unproductive. thats not to say we support those beliefs systems anymore, but it IS to say that its incredibly short sighted of you to just. act like they're inhuman. seperating yourself so far from the belief system that you could NEVER POSSIBLY believe that is absurd. it lacks critical thinking. if you know nothing better than a black and white sense of right and wrong that isn't based in anything but your current bias, thats absurdity.

When approaching people who believe what you used to, if anything it should offer you perspective on that point of view and make you better at discussion. It rubs me incredibly weird whenver i see an ex-anti endo act like all they do is harass people and shit. is that what you did? if so, what absolves you of the same critisims? it just lacks the acknowledgement it should have. i don't know how to explain, hope this makes sense.

[on the third paragraph]

You know, as ex anti endos we used to think this too. But honestly, DO they? Yea, you have this experience and whatnot. And thats valid to want a traumagen only space to talk about those issues. But are they REALLY 'invading' spaces? Endogenic systems have had their own community and have made their own terms to describe their experiences seperate from medicalized terms for decades. Endogenics have also made resources commonly used by all systems of all orgins, help support research and information on all systems of all origins, etc. I don't really see how theyre 'invading'.

What I think is lost on many is that. Endos have their own community, its just that traumegenics and them have overlap in community. So more often than not, you're talking about that overlap and unification between types of plurals than people 'invading'. The word plural? Endo. The word fictive? Endo, and not even plural specific. SP and PK? Endogenic. These are their things that we use. And many traumagens are also in their spaces because they don't mind sharing that overlap in community.

It's not that endogenics are 'taking over' disorderd spaces, its more that there's an overlap in spaces between them in the community spaces and resources used, and anti endos don't see that divide most times in think. Not their fault, its tricky. Took us ages to realize 'hey, they have their own shit we just have a similar experience so there will be overlap in discussion, terms, people finding community with each other, etc'. But endogenics don't WANT to be in disordered spaces. They don't cater to them, tho tbh as a disordered system with less distinct alters, I don't really feel they cater to me either.

ANYWAYS! yea, TLDR: they aren't claiming to be us or wanting our spaces, they've had that. for a while. Back when it was still just MPD they were creating terms for themselves. Think a lot of the issue is we use a lot of the same language and have vaguely similar experiences so people THINK they're trying to worm their way here. But in actuality theyre jst a seperate community with similar shit. Oh and also, we can't ignore the fact that there's shit stirrers on both sides and most the time anti endos (of which don't actively seek endos out to harass) interact with endos its some asshole who is just discourse hungry. So it kinda off puts that perspective.

[next para]

yea, we did. doesn't mean others of other experiences don't have their own communities tho. you cannot be so about only your own experiences you lose sight of the fact that people of other experiences will be similar to you regardless. their existence doesnt invalidate yours, nor vice versa.

[next para]

endos, DON'T say the plethora of endogenic experiences and the plethora of CDD systems' experiences are the same or 1:1. only anti endos do. nor are they demanding to be let in anywhere. its not defense when its just someone existing in their own community similar to urs. everyone has their own life shit, and sometimes it ends in similar results. doesn't mean endos are invading or they are trying to compare themselves to you. if anything, ive only ever seen a massive push from endos telling anti endos "stop trying to act like we exist for the same reasons" yk?

like everytime an anti endo brings up medical shit, you're forcing endos into the 'medicalized systemhood' box where they don't belong and don't want to be. its drawing connections and then assuming based off of that, when in actuality sometimes theres a connection and thats it. the only unifying factor is plurality of some sort. then end. you cannot see people who are similar then dislike them because theyre only similar. theyre gunna have widly different experiences. thats okay. it doesnt make yours any less there. it just means sometimes people are only similar.

anyways people with their own spaces are not taking yours, nor is people with their own experiences somehow making a mockery of yours. thats close minded thinking.

and this kinda goes into the next paragraph.

-

you are inherently close minded about what plurality can look like. you see someone who has a vague connection to you, and then get mad when theyre not the same. theyre not the same as you. stop trying to make them. yea, they may have alters or headmates or whatever you wanna call them. but that doesn't make them disordered. and it never will. you cannot say they are invading your spaces when the only ones who put them in a CDD context are people who fundamentally misunderstand them.

your trauma isn't th only thing that's ever important. sorry to say, but people go through shit. that doesn't give someone the right to insist people without trauma (for the reason of their experiences) cant have their experiences. which is it? are they people with their own experiences or not? only one forcing them into the disordered box is people who are too close minded to stop and think "hey, yea MY shit lead to this but other peoples shit may be different". plurality isn't only disordered and you don't have a right to be upset at people who recognize that.

like in your text you RECOGNIZE they have different experiences. that they aren't disordered, yet you are implying that disordered systemhood is the only valid one. why? its the same as people who say fictionkin are offensive to introjects. its not. people will have a wide variety of experiences and just because yours is related to mental health doesn't make yours the only good one.

they arent saying theyre the same as disordered systems. so stop comparing them. you are viewing it through an 'only way for plurality to exist is through medical reasons' lense. so obviously you're gunna be miffed when those non disordered people aren't disordered. this is no different than any other form of exclusion that banks on "only one who can be like me is the people who experience the same as me"

once you let go of that and understand these peoples experiences outside of a discourse perspective or the lense of disordered plurality, it starts making a lot more sense.

you aren't 'at risk' of losing spaces. mind you, non disordered systems made a lot of the shit disordered systems use and do a lot activism for plurality as a whole. you aren't at risk of shit. if people in another community than you are a 'risk' to you, thats your own problem.

also on your last note: people in a community that losely describes non disordered plurality are not to blame for people who existed decades ago that have 0 relation to them hope that helps.

-

-

anyways as a disordered system i must say, disordered spaces don't do shit for me. they are made based on being anti-endo more than they are based on being a space for disordered systems to exist. additionally, as a system who has less distinct alters, it fucking sucks! the community is largerly alter-based and theres virtually no community for those who's experiences are less alter-based. but you don't see me being all like 'grr those systems who's experiences are like XYZ instead of ABC' , thatd be absurd! everyone's different and everyone deserves their own words and spaces to describe their experiences. peace be.

Keep seeing posts of pro-endos who used to be anti-endo talking about "Ugh, anti-endo spaces are so toxic" which is not necessarily bad, there are bad anti-endo spaces out there and people are allowed to vent about how those spaces hurt them

I do have a problem when they use that as an excuse to call us all toxic and cruel. I've seen many saying things like "Anti endos are so horrible, I'm so glad I'm not one of those monsters anymore"

You need to understand we aren't the monsters you make us out to be. We're traumatized people, trying our hardest to survive with something debilitating, who can't help but see endos as mocking, whether they truly are or not. We can't help but see endos as invading our spaces.

We didn't get to have safe spaces most of the time. We didn't get to be around people who cared about us and understood us. Even those of us that did have a safe space had it poisoned by trauma elsewhere. We spent our childhoods afraid, isolated, and so agonizingly alone, feeling like we were better off dead, that we were freaks, that we were the only ones in the world going through this. This community we made for ourselves was one we had to fight through years of hell to get.

So when random people come over trying to insist that they're "just like us" and demanding to be let in, despite having only one or two things in common that we couldn't even trust they truly had, of course we'll be fucking defensive. In our eyes, you're trying to take the safe spaces we fought tooth and nail for away from us, whether you truly are or not. In our eyes you're people who know nothing about us or what we went through, and continue to go through, trying to barge into our havens and bloat it with bullshit, whether that's what you're trying to do or not.

We've been hurt so many times, by so many people, for so long. Why the fuck would we take a chance on people that are so suspect? You claim to have alters just like us, yet without any of the other symptoms of our disorders. You claim to be systems, yet without being caused by the immense trauma we had to suffer through. Hell, some of you claim that you made your alters for fun, just because you can.

Of course we're wary and defensive. We don't want to even risk losing the spaces we worked so damn hard to get.

If you've had a bad experience with anti-endo spaces, and are pro-endo now because of it, that's fine by me and I understand completely. But that doesn't make us all villians. That doesn't make us all evil monsters.

And besides, many of us have been hurt by pro-endo/mixed origin spaces too. We've seen people have horrible experiences with them. (Let's not forget endos started as natural multiples, who were notoriously shitty, cruel, and discriminatory toward any and all traumagens, and that a lot of that same rhetoric is still rampant in the community, AND that the community at large has basically just decided to pretend that never happened.

[twildflower]

Talking about anime ash ships(?) kinda. It became a bunch of random topics.

Hm im actually an amourshipper. Its my otp from like 10 at least. Or whenever i first watched xy or xyz. When it came out. I don’t remember. But im also a multishipper so like i dont really dislike other ships in fact i find goh and ash very cute. And gary. I despise pokeshipping tho. Last on my list. Absolutely no. I just hate it idk why. I didnt even hate it because of other people i just hated it when i knew it existed?? Or ash and iris thats my second most dislike. Cause i like may and dawn a lot and theyre cool i like their ships with ash but now to me they suit the rivals/male alternates better. I still like them tho. Theyre cool. Like yeah shes kinda built off ash in the anime and thats cringe but i just think theyre cute and i dont really have a reason to not like them and rheyre my old otp. I just like them. Plus serenas pretty. And bc theyre my oldest and probably first otp. Ah. I forgot what i was gonna say. Oh yeah so then its kinda hard for me to dislike something after liking it a lot. I think i did dislike something a lot after liking something decently but that wasn’t something i really REALLY liked so it couldve easily changed so eh. I dont think my preferences really changed a lot? The only thing that’s significant enough that i can say off my mind is favorite colour i guess. I used to like uh. Actually i dont remember. But whatever colour it got replaced by blue (ITS PURPLE I REMEMBERED))because i liked elsa a lot. When the first frozen movie came out. Holy shit that was. Wild. …and. My like. Probably favorite mlp was rainbow dash. Blue. So blue. And twilght. IT DOESNT RELATE TO MY NAME THO IT DOESNT. um anyway. I liked blue a lot. Actually i somehow sticked withit for a long time even after my hype died a long time. I think I realized my fav color was still blue bc of elsa and i thought that was like really fucking cringe so i wanted to like a different colour so i went around for sometime and then i thought uhh i like stars and moon and stuff too thyere yellow. Light yellow uh yeah guess ill try and make this my fav colour and i did after maybe 1-2 years of convincing myself. Thats funny. Twildflower is a mash of twild and wildflower. Tp link and botw link ship name lmao. Then wildflower is what ppl say wild’s nickname would be from twilight. Kinda cool. And its not a taken or common name so i was like eh sure. I made this name when i was in my zelda hyperfixiation. uhhhshsh i hate typing zelda its so weird. Not gonna elaborate. Um anyway. My preferred name being link does not have to do with my username being twildflower or because of the zelda fixiation either fun fact it’s literally just because of my real name. I. Dont like that name and it catches me off guard a lot of the time and it. I just dont like it. Link is better. Kyle is just a random name. Its a youtubers i watched like maybe 7 years ago’s real name and a certain day like 4 years ago i just suddenly remembered that person and i was like yeah kyles a cool name and that stuck as my name until now. Id say its my real name. Link or kyle are both cool. Some of my real life friends call me kyle so thats the diff i guess. I dont have online friends tho the ones i am friends with probably call me nai. Nai is. Eh. I dont mind it. Its my name. Its a name i used to like know a lot of online friends i have. So thats my name to them. I dont mind people i know now that dont know why im nai call me nai. Also by real life friends i only consider id say 5 as friends and only 1-2 call me kyle. 1 I explicitly told them call me kyle if she could and the other is just sometimes when we chat because i have it as my user on some places. Not specifically for group chats tho like just as referencing to me. Sometimes i guess. Yeah tbh id consider kyle my real life name if i could. If i had to introduce myself with none of my family nearby or when my id name is outright there or whatever id say im kyle. I havent gotten a chance to do so tho. I dont really care i guess. I dont want to care about many things. I say i dont care but i care. Like. My friend. I guess.
