#it’s because. my twitter followers on that account are kind of annoying sorry

rereading zayne’s anecdotes again :)

[stupendousfoxthing]

It's so annoying to me when I come across people who say that tkkers base their belief in taekook on edits and videos that overanalyze. Not saying that there aren't shippers like this but I know this is not the case for alot of tkkers I know and certainly not for me. I had no interest in shipping and theorising on band mates being in a secret relationship when I got into BTS. I just really loved their music and their story.

I noticed taekook while catching up on lives and binging BTS content trying to get to know the members more. I wasn't trying to ship any members, but I was picking up on things with taekook that made me side eye them ngl. The odd tension in lives, the hot and cold behaviour, being overly touchy and familiar with eachothers bodies and personal space while also sometimes acting like they don't know eachother. I tried to brush it off but the vibe they were giving off was like when you start noticing tension between two people in a friend group but nobody talks about it and it becomes the big elephant in the room, only to find out later they were secretly hooking up lol.

After awhile I felt like I had gotten a good grasp on all the friendships and dynamics within the group and yet taekook remained a big question mark to me and fandom discourse certainly didn't help at all. It's only then that I fell into the rabbit hole out of curiousity and most of what I learnt has solidified my suspicions about them. You really don't need analysis videos or shipping edits to notice them because the vibe they give off and the things they do, the way BigHit handled them, these things are enough to make you question. Remember when locals at 2020 Grammy's were asking if they were a couple? Yep, taekook give off boyfriend vibes and we all know it, even the naysayers know it deep down.😂

(Btw I love reading your thoughts, please post more 😭)

It doesn't annoy me when other people say that about Taekookers, because I know for a fact that's not what I base my belief on and I think a significant portion of people who say that are trying to convince themselves there's nothing between TK, we just really want there to be. A lot seem to believe that if they get rid of us Taekook's relationship will stop existing, whatever the nature of that relationship is. Personally I hate analysis videos. Like I said previously, when I first starting looking at Taekook those kinds of videos weren't very popular yet. The two big YouTube accounts I followed just posted compilation videos of moments with no analysis. That's all I need. There are so many moments that speak for themselves. I'll be screaming about the nape kiss until the end of time. I'm sorry but there's no way you're going to convince me there's anything platonic about that. Two recent moments I think about a lot are the Sweetheart shirts and Tae's live where we found out Jungkook always sings "To Find You" to him. Those are very loud and obvious imho. I don't need to analyze them. I've also in my own life accurately called these same "vibes" between plenty of people who ended up together. The tells aren't any different for same-sex couples, but some people will readily read romantic/sexual interest into every interaction between a man and a woman but dismiss way more sus moments between two men. I think there would be no question about Taekook for a lot of people if they were a het pair. I do remember the buzz around them at the Grammys. I was just recently thinking about reactions I saw on Twitter to the live where Tae played "Oh No Oh Yes" (where he intentionally "twin flamed" with Jungkook as an anon recently pointed out). That had some people questioning things. I remember seeing people talking back and forth in a thread about the lyrics and how they usually drag Taekookers but maybe we're onto something. 😂 I still think that some people who call us delusional just don't follow what happens between Taekook, because they were more suspicious than ever during solo era. Thank you for the message, sorry it took me a bit to get to answering ❤️

[coldspicyy]

hey is there any like ... tf2 Adult community i can get into or do you have recommendations to find one. i don't wanna make an alternate blog because a lot of minors follow me and i would rather it just not be a possibility at all that they may find me. but also my brain is full of thoughts. im sorry for asking anon im insanely embarrassed and im pretty sure some of my moots follow you. your art is insanely good and you're very talented thank you

IS THERE A TF2 NSFW COMMUNITY??

You know, I was questioning that myself. I really don't know much more than the fact that a lot of the tf2 spicy artists are on Twitter, I doubt that site will survive the manchild tho.

There MAY be some kind of discord somewhere. I am not part of one, yet. If anyone sees this and is in one then pls send invite. If there's enough interest I might make an 18+ discord myself, it's gonna be 18+ for sure.

Pillowfort allows NSFW (hence why I also have a Pillowfort account) and lets you create communities. I was debating making a nsfw tf2 community there but idk how many ppl would be interested. I can give out 10 invite links a week, anyone interested in an account could dm me for one.

That's about what I know, I would love to have some kind of community space for this tho. It's annoying not being able to answer and talk to ppl efficiently, this blog isn't my main.

ANYONE THAT SEES THIS POST PLS ADD ONTO THIS WITH ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE

i forget how the west was won

Raisa pushes Han into her room, quickly shutting the door behind them and pressing her back to it. 

“So…” Han mutters, dropping their luggage on the floor, and flopping backwards onto her childhood bed. “I knew that you were planning my murder.”

Raisa shrugs. “What can I say. I’ve always yearned to be a widow.” 

“Seriously, what was that?” Han asks, not even bothering to sit up as he asks the question. “I thought we were at least gonna wait until you introduced me to some of the people there, or I dunno, we weren’t surrounded!” 

Raisa winces in sympathy, walking over to the bed, and taking a seat next to him. “I know, I’m sorry. I should’ve waited. I was going to wait. But then—“ 

“You thought that it would be fun to see me get murdered?” Han guesses. 

Raisa rolls her eyes, flopping onto the bed as well so that they were lying side by side. “My mother was just so annoying!” 

“The way she kept fussing over your hair?” Han guesses. 

Raisa hesitates. “Well, yeah. But, also the way she treated you! She wouldn’t even shake your hand!” Raisa takes a calming breath. She didn’t want to admit it out loud, but her mother’s treatment of Han was what had annoyed her most of all. 

Han was one of her best friends. Her closest confidant ever since they cooked up this plan of theirs. He deserved to be treated with respect.  

Han grabs Raisa’s hand, rubbing his thumb over the gold band of her wedding ring. 

Wedding ring. 

Bloody bones, she still hasn’t quite gotten used to it, and it’s been over a month since she’s started wearing it. 

“Hey, it’s okay. I survived.” He pauses. “For now.” 

Raisa lets out a short laugh, when a small chime from Han’s phone interrupts them. 

“Your sister just sent me a follow request.” 

Raisa shrugs. “Makes sense. I’m sure they’re all downstairs trying to discover your entire history right now.”

“How fun.” Han deadpans. 

“You should definitely accept that, or she’s going to tell everyone that you have something to hide.”

“I do have something to hide. As do you.”

Raisa rolls her eyes. “They don’t need to know that, though. She’s probably already suspicious about the fact that you only have a private Twitter account.”

Han’s eyebrows furrow. “Why?”

Raisa places her left hand over his, which are cradling his phone. “Because Mellony’s whole life is online. She doesn’t understand people that don’t share everything on the internet.”

“Hmm.” Han hums, hesitantly accepting the follower request. “I’m learning so much about my sister in law.”

“Believe it or not, she’s the easiest one to win over.” 

Han groans, finally sitting up. “Okay, so give me the official run down of everyone planning my murder down stairs.” 

Raisa reluctantly sits up too, cupping Han’s shoulder with her chin. “Okay, so you met my mother. My father was—“ 

“The other one who hugged you.” Han jumps in. “I kind of figured that one out.” 

“Fair enough. Then, there’s my grandmother, Elena.” 

“She’s the one who looked like she swallowed a lemon when she shook my hand?” 

“That’s the one.” Raisa sighs. “The big, bald guy was my Uncle Lassiter, and the girl next to him, with the big rack and the small brain,” Han snorts at her description. “Is his daughter, my cousin Missy. Then there are the… non-related people.” 

Han nods. “Yeah, you didn’t prepare me for them.” 

“Because I was praying that for once a family get together would just be between the family.” Raisa groans, annoyance with her mother beginning to creep up again, before she quickly pushes it down. She wouldn’t have much time to get through this before they were called down to dinner. “Nightwalker is here.” 

Han blinks. “His name is Nightwalker?” 

“Actually, it’s Reid, but everyone calls him Nightwalker because— well—“

“Don’t worry, with a name like Nightwalker, I can figure it out.” Han assures her. 

”Oh, thank the Maker. He’s my father’s protege. My dad is planning on passing down his company to him when he finally retires.” 

“Over both you and your sister?” Han asks. 

Raisa rolls her eyes. “Yeah, it’s a whole thing. Then, there’s the Bayars.” She follows the name with an eye roll just to make sure that her distaste is known. 

“Bayar…” Han rolls the name off of his tongue. “Wait, you’ve mentioned that name before.” His eyebrows rise to his hairline. “Is he the one—“

“Yes,” Raisa grits out. “He is.”

“And he’s at your house? For Christmas?”  

Raisa waves him off. “I told you, my family is a fucking mess. Anyway, Gavan is the one that looks like a movie villain brought to life. His kids, Fiona and Micah, they’re our age, but awful in their own ways. Don’t take anything they say to heart, but they will more than likely try to destroy your very soul.” 

“Lovely.” 

Raisa gives him a tight-lipped smile. “Aren’t they?” 

She hears the sound of the house’s intercom go off. “It’s dinner time!” Someone announces from the kitchen. 

Raisa sighs deeply, standing up, and wiping imaginary dust away from her clothes. “That’s our cue.” As she starts walking to her door, she quickly spins on her heel as a new thought occurs to her. “Oh, wait, I did forget to mention one thing.” 

“What’s that?” Han asks, standing so close to her that she momentarily gets distracted by the sight of his stubbled jaw. “Raisa?” 

“Oh, right… Just so you aren’t completely blindsided, you should know that Nightwalker and Micah are my ex-boyfriends, and they were probably both invited so that my parents could set us up.” She quickly presses a chaste kiss to his lips before he could say anything. “You’ll do great, though!”

Thank you for acknowledging the post!

And I just wanted to clarify that I DO see the racism towards Taylor. I don't want it to seem that I ignore it. And I'm sorry if I did. I was just wanting to explain that, IN THIS CASE with Nick and all that stuff they say about him not liking RWRB, what does racism have to to do with it (and yes, you said it on your post, so thank you.) And it's ok that you posted it. It's just, they've used that defense so much, that I just associate it with them (like a Pavlov thing???) and it becomes annoying (???; Pulling the racism card when there isn't). Like, defend against the racism when IT IS about racism, not when people are simple trying to defend the allegations (from stupid people) that 'Nick hates RWRB'. And I admit, I was angry when I wrote the post, so I wasn't completely thinking about racism. And I just didn't want you to get the 'they're being racist towards Taylor' accusations because I know you're not and I love your posts!

I typed a lot, so... the point that I'm trying to make is that I'm sorry if I gave off the impression that Taylor doesn't go through racism. He does, sadly. 😡

And also,🤭, the twitter account user (njwoman on tumblr), took of the pinned post claiming to support both of them. Like, finally realizing your own hypocrisy? I had to go back a couple of times to check to see it it was true. Anyway, enough of that.

You don't have to posts this, I just wanted to let you know what a difference your post made. To the twitter account user (obviously; if they even saw it too, or was it just a coincidence?) and to me (and hopefully to other people too). It made me feel... it just calmed my mind.😌 It's great when there's people in the fandom who can THINK. (And sorry to making this like a big deal, like I know they're celebrities in Hollywood but... the hate they both get -two kind-hearted, talented human beings- is crazy!! And when they get compared to each other...?!?!? WHY?!?! Stupid!!!! *SIGHS* I really am a sensitive person...)

I should've have put this on the main post, but again, I was angry and it was late at night for me, LOVE TAYLOR, NICK, AND RWRB. BOTH perfectly casted!!! BOTH talented!!! And BOTH will have a GREAT future!!!

Oh you're welcome! Really glad I could help 😊

Also to clarify I didn't think you were ignoring actual racism, I just wanted to clarify that on my part. Like you said, racist should be called out, but that doesn't apply to this situation.

Also about the account, turns out they follow me before, but after i got your ask, i checked their tumblr account, realized the same attitude was there and blocked them. So whatever change of heart was definitely not because of what i wrote.

Also don't apologize for typing too much, god knows i type a hell lot.. And thank you for enjoying my posts!

And again, I'm really glad I could help.

This is advice that goes to anyone who stumbles upon arguments like these: your best defence, both against them, and to protect yourself, is logic. Everything I said in the aforementioned ask is based on logic and evidence. They only have emotionally charged, biased speculations. Their arguments can be broken down so easily.

Unfortunately this is the way things tend to be in this industry, especially for queer productions for some reason. All we can do is keep enjoying and creating the happiness that the movie and the people involved brings.

Also, that last paragraph? HELL YEAH

[charmac]

Hello ^-^

I follow you on twitter as well and you are one of my FAVORITE sunny/macdennis accounts EVER.

I read this post of yours :

https://www.tumblr.com/charmac/722295024558243840/okay-i-just-stumbled-across-that-sinned-fic

And I wanted to ask if you like Established MacDennis while reading/writing fics?? I love it when authors write macdennis' relationship from others pov. Like how Charlie sees them as a couple and think they're badass, how frank can't still believe dennis is with mac, how dee is absolutely annoyed by their excessive pda!

I also love when an original male character is interested in one of them before the other appears and then they're like "holy shit they're so in love" or omg mac/dennis is a lucky guy etc.

Sorry for rambling, it's just that I appreciate your opinions!

Thanks! :)

Honestly "I'm not a huge fan of "established" Macdennis is kind of a weird battleground, because for canon I constantly teeter between being fully-convinced they're fucking, have been fucking, for years, and that they've absolutely never hooked up, lmfao. (If you're wondering, we're currently standing at, yeah they're absolutely fucking).

So my idea of (or what I enjoy in terms of) "established Macdennis" is that they're together and no one knows, and that's kinda where I stand for fandom too, in terms of what I enjoy.

Personally to me the idea of Mac and Dennis openly dating and happy being seen in public as a couple is a little unrealistic. Especially on Dennis' side, he's already pretty anti-PDA/having others perceive himself as soft or being able to be locked down (and boyfriend/partner/lover is a label...). Then, letting Mac be on him, call him his boyfriend, etc. gives Mac a little too much freedom. For Mac, I think I go back and forth on the idea. S12-14 Mac would kill to call Dennis his boyfriend, would brag to everyone he knew that he was drilling him, but Post-15? I think maybe he's mellowed to a point where having Dennis to himself, as a secret, on the DL, would be kinda enticing (at least Dennis could convince him as much). There's something thrilling about having a dirty little secret so to say.

So my idea of them 'in canon' if they were officially together would be that each episode they kinda flip-flop being broken up and back together for stupid fucking reasons. I love the idea of all of The Gang hates and enjoys them together for different reasons, at different times. Like Dennis is just being a complete bitch and Dee turns to Mac and is like "Could you tell your boyfriend to be reasonable?" And Mac's like, "Oh, no, Dee we're not together anymore, see I forgot to pick up Dennis' dry cleaning on Saturday and that's a break-up offense, so..." and Dee just angrily huffs and walks away. And then the end of the episode Charlie walks into the back office right in the middle of Mac sucking Dennis off and he just yelps and slams the door like "DEE YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE BROKEN UP!" And then the next episode, once again, you have no idea they're together until Dennis is caught with his hand rubbing up Mac's thigh and Frank's like "No way, none of that shit in the bar!" and Mac grabs Dennis' hand and forces it off and is like "That's fine, Frank, because I'm not talking to Dennis right now anyway." And Dee's just like ???? Mac's called it off this time!? But no one actually wants to know, so they all move past it. I think Charlie would go back and forth between liking them together and broken up just based on how they play into his schemes and ideas in either scenario. (i.e. Mac wanting to get blasted with Charlie after he and Dennis have broken up for the 10th time or Dennis being completely willing to go with Charlie's plans bc Mac is into them and Dennis is staying on Mac's good side that week).

I think in any case, anyone outside of the Gang/recurring characters looking at the two of them would probably be into them because of their looks, see them nasty makeout and go damn, alright, too hot guys found each other, then watch them immediately turn around and try and kill each other for any random reason, and be glad they dodged that bullet... Lol

Sorry for my rambling... ;)

[fangirlies]

i dont want to be annoying, but now what do u think of the accusations? cuz the racist video was part of a role in a series, in the nude photos he was a minor and friends came out to defend him, but i dont know what to believe from the things he said and shared on his twitter lol i mean i make those jokes too, the same kind he makes, but its just that for me: jokes. thats why i dont know if its okay for me...? i dont want people to hate me for supporting it but now everything seems too fake to me, especially when the girl who started it all made videos on tiktok making fun of having ruined his career and wrote to someone on ig insulting, and finally, how she deactivated her account when everyone started exposing the inconsistencies in her story (later she activated it), so that makes me think about how strange everything has been 😭😭 especially when percy doesnt give announcements, but hes active on instagram (likes) and also that the cast hasnt stopped following him AHHH I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK i need my favorite writer to guide me pls pls and also sorry 4 the grammar im 🇧🇷 😭😭

Hi there friend!

First and foremost I’d like to say that when the news first came out about the SA, it did shock, confuse, and hurt me. I have stopped supporting artists/actors in the past for such allegations for obvious reasons, so obviously it was a natural reaction for me to no longer want to support someone with such allegations out there. However, I did some slight digging as we all did and informed myself about the allegations being tweeted and after just a few scrolls, I thought the whole thing was just strange. The story never made sense to me, the girls kept being rude to people who were asking normal questions to fully understand the story, the spread of his nudes as a minor?? It truly left me confused and so I stopped reading and interacting with such posts. I also thought it was strange people were going through his likes and kink shaming him for things he’s liked on ig before the accusations came out. And that’s my issue with ‘cancel culture’ they find one thing out and start digging for every and anything they could find to pin on a person and start building their own conclusions, hoping anyone would believe them. And people do.

Now, his use of the slur was wrong and I could never deny that. Am I a little confused about his lack of response? A little. But I do believe he was told not to comment on anything yet for whatever reasons, which at the end of the day was smart on his end because now these girls have twisted and rewrote their story— lacking credibility.

Although I’m not fully convinced about it all, I’ve made this account solely an xavier account and maybe some of his other characters too. I was and still am a little wary about adding his face to my pieces because I want to make everyone on my account comfortable. So if anyone has any issues with that, I hope they can privately reach out and tell me about it!

But anyway bestie, I mean this in the nicest way possible— don’t let me and my opinions steer you a certain direction that you’re not comfortable in. I have my own opinions that some of my other friends on here may or may not have and that’s fine! I still respect them and their decisions to either stop writing for xavi all together or to add his picture on their writings and what not. But thanks for reaching out, I hardly talk about it on here because at the end of the day, it’s an xavier account and my sweet little muffin boy did no wrong. I can happily seperate actor from his character but I can understand why some writers can’t.

Also, omg a Brazilian bestie?? I’ve heard amazing things about Brazil and dream of scratching it off my travel bucket list one day 😭 your grammar was perfect! Never apologize bestie!

[lexa-griffins]

thanks loads for the quick response, you were so lovely!! 🌸 as i said i’m just starting to educate myself so i don’t want to get things wrong or support someone who doesn’t deserve it. for example, Eliza.. like im still confused about this other topic bc i’m not interested enough, my heart already belongs to Alycia and i mean Alycia only, so… that’s what i’m focusing on. okay so basically that’s what i thought, the “could’ve handled it better” was about her not actually handling it at all, in a way, which i like to believe has nothing to do with her “hating” lexa (it’s something i keep reading online and idk where it comes from) or her fans. Bad advices and likely her trying to save Jason’s a** lead her to shut the discourse. but if this makes sense for the first weeks/months following lexa’s death, what i don’t understand is why she did seem annoyed when fans brought up lexa to conventions etc. but if she hated the fans and/or lexa, i can’t possibly believe she would’ve ever accepted to come back to the show for the finale. she came back bc she cared (about lexa, i mean SHE played her for gods sake, it must be hella important for her as well!!) and knew it was important for the fans, i guess. I’m almost scared to talk about this as i know Eliza’s fans are mad about it and especially Eliza/b0b supporters (i’ve seen enough on Twitter dear lord) but if what some people say is true, that he asked Jason to fire her bc he was jealous of her success, then maybe HIM being fired was also one of the reasons she willingly came back? like don’t get me wrong, i’m sure a big fat paycheck played a huge part too 😅 but trying to add more pieces to the puzzle here, as i really know like 40% of what happened behind the scenes with Jason and all when lexa was killed off, so again, i’m sorry if this always ends up being super long but i’m trying to do my homework here 📋🖊️ (and you genuinely are super kind btw which i’m super grateful for 😭)

I have never opened my mouth about the E and B topic because I am not about to open that can of worms or invite their fans to fight me here. I was a huge E fan and just a week before all the shit came out i was talking to a friend about how i wish clarke and her got the same love Lexa and Alycia do... that came back to bite me in the ass real quick 😅 you guys know how much i love Clarke but damn was it impossible for a bit there for me to be able to watch clexa and clarke scenes again and be able to seperate e from Clarke. We clearly got there tho 😌

In a way, I can understand why she was a little annoyed at cons. Alycia never went to a con with the main intent of talking about Lexa, she was on FTWD, she was probably very excited about it and was sent there to talk about it and yet every question she got was about a character that st that point she had not played in maybe a year if you account for the time between filming and the episodes coming out. And its probably nerve wracking to have a room full of people who care so deeply for a character and that are part of a community that is marginalized and her having to say the right thing. Not to meantion like most actors sometimes the line betwwen Lexa the character and Alycia the actor got a little blurred and i get the sense Alycia is the type of actor who wants a clear separation between herself and the character. Maybe wrongly so she tried to distance herself from Lexa not because she hates the fans but because it was what she and others around her felt was right for her career having just started on a new show.

We know B was most likely fired but I doubt that he was the reason why Alycia left. I truly think Jrot believe he was doing something with Lexa's death and that he was telling a epic story, i really think any other story of B wanting her gone and what is now know its false about her not being able to do both shows (AMC was ready to let her continue on the show, i wish i could link you a source to this) - making Alycia agreeing with Jason probably just PR trying to not cause a drift. Alycia (and Jason) kind of alluded to the fact that there had been chances for Lexa to come back before but that Alycia didn't feel comfortable with it and I do think that shows that she respected the fans and didn't want to be used as a prop to make fans to watch the show again. Her being in the finale was a surprise (well, not to me and many others because it felt like there had been hints being dropped for a good while). While i dont doubt the nice pay check wasnt an incentive Alycias entire message for the shows finale felt very sincere to me and very clearly dedicated to the fans. Blorke/B/E fans (well, B fans, lets be real here they only care for her because shes with him, they used to call her names before that) think that just because Alycia is both rather private and doesnt try to take fans money left and right that she hates her fans and hates Lexa. I just think that Alycia didnt really speak up when it was the time for it for whatever reason - i dont think it was out of malicious intent but i do think she should have said more - and talking about it now would just come across as trying to stir something up unless it was directly asked of her to talk about it. Id like to think she has proven herself an ally and a decent person where i dont think she has to talk about Lexa for me to consider her "forgiven" for not speaking up back then.

No need to say sorry, i totally get trying to understand what the fuck happened in this fandom of ours 😅 i just hope im saying things accurately because i have been here since mid 2015 so some things really get blurry around the edges. There used to be master posts or something im sure that explained things because this was a whole thing that last through most of 2016.

☺️ i might not remember or know how to answer everything but if you have any more questions about the fandoms history and if i can help and respond, feel free to ask me! :)

[art-of-firefly]

Hi! It’s the anon that asked about the twitter tags :) Thank you so much for your help, that was perfect! From these few tags you can get into a few different artists and fan accounts, so this was really helpful. So happy to see that many fans and talented artists (like yourself!) are still active. ❤️

I'm an airhead and i forgot this in my draft sorry 🙏

I'm glad it was helpful ! I hope the artists list was able to help you find some more artists too :)

Thank you so much for the compliment, honestly the fandom is so small and all the fanarts I draw for Kuroko no Basket flop so badly, it really warms my heart to know that some people still enjoy them ❤️

I often consider to stop posting them and to only draw them for myself because no one seems to care, and it's probably annoying for those who follow me for other fandoms, but your kind words and the few notes i get on my art are what push me to keep posting them, so thank you again <3

[ecivons]

There’s proship discourse all over my tl on twitter and it’s really starting to get to me and piss me off,, until now I don’t really label myself as pro or anti but the way I engage with fandom is probably more pro than anything

What I find the most annoying is that I think ALOT of people are like me and don’t call themselves proship but their fandom mentality makes them basically proship

And it’s annoying because it’s like 😭 “oh ure proship, so u like incest and pedophillia “ NO BRO SLIPPERY FUCKING SLOPE.

Like to me proship basically u dgaf abt other people’s preferences bc if someone likes seeing suggestive art of a little anime boy what the hell am I supposed to do to stop them

I don’t know if these people are aware that the most proship people of them all are the big artists who don’t care enough to monitor who the interests of those following them, or are their oomfies who don’t like incest but ignore the people who do.

A lot of people really are proship without being fully aware of it.. and I’m sure there are people who call themselves antis and don’t involve themselves with problematic content, they dislike incest and big age gaps, but they don’t go out of their way to call out people who do, they just block and move on. That’s literally what proship is. It means just block and mute as u please. Curate ur online experience!! You don’t need to advocate so hard for people to get cancelled because they enjoy the types of content that you don’t 😭

And for a lot of antis out there ik that proshippers can be really annoying about politely asking them to not interact. I find that annoying too because like .. I cant tell if they’re aware that they sound really dumb ☠️ just block them tbh that’s it. I think some proshippers have become kind of loud and annoying because the content that is deemed problematic now was never a problem before, in fandom spaces. The most visceral reactions would probably be like a rp account on Pinterest freaking out about it idk

Ok rant over sorry for that 🦭

[sweetjazzygirl]

I have been having second thoughts on it and i will state my opinion on this, i'm sorry if there's something off.

Even though you may not believe he could be a groomer, it doesn't help the fact that he's known to be arguing with kids online as a grown man, like a lot. (On Twitter)

Don't get me wrong, i understand that kids can be annoying and immature as hell but when it comes to being an adult or someone with a large following, you're supposed to understand that you shouldn't be dealing with them and just, block them since you know that adults are not supposed to deal with minors online, even going as far as harassing them (i'm not saying that Sean did but he did say unnecessary words to them) or encouraging harassment. (I have to admit, i despises the fact that being immature = a child when anyone can be straight up immature regardless of age)

Like, there's a time where he, i assume jokingly asked for ID thing to a user who's possibly a minor which you know isn't something a grown adult should do if you're smart enough and i assume that's where they believed that Sean was being creepy here, even if a joke. (If you were to ask for a thread in the screenshot, i'm afraid i can't as the user deleted their account due to major harassment, unless they came back? And i don't have twitter, especially since Elon does not let you scroll through anyone's page when unregistered).

Many fans are just tired because he's never been confronted and gets away with everything, while other VAs gets harassed over a harmless joke (Layla VA's case) and if someone did confront him, you receive harassment from his fanbase, worst ones even because Sean never stop responding to anyone criticizing or harassing him and i doubt he doesn't know that because he was already aware, just that he didn't care much about it until a few people pressure him to tell his fanbase to stop when the damage has been done.

But i do agree, Rina wasn't supposed to share it without Casper's consent, though i admit what i assume and believe is Casper wanted to but couldn't find the right time to speak about it (since you know, it's been years and you know how difficult it is for actual victims to speak up without people victim blaming them or even accuse they're lying) until Rina shared it and let's say, it was a bad time to share about it.

But you shouldn't expect anyone to believe that Sean is innocent either, though you did confirm you're not saying that he is but there are reasons why people refuses to believe a single word Sean says, abusers are known to lie a lot until they admit to sadly and that's why.

If Sean wanted to confirm that the allegations were false, he should have at least try and gather evidences (that is if he has) but what i find it weird is him actually deciding to apology to Casper, even though he claimed the allegations are not true? unless he's apologizing for something else.

I'm just trying and explain something, i'm not trying to make you believe "BUT HE'S A GROOMER!!" other than explaining why that would be the case.

I hope for God Sean does not stay silent about this, i never liked him after learning how he acts and the kind of jokes he makes but i just want for him to talk about this properly without saying words that aren't easily believable, especially since this case is very serious and he knows that.

Im going to be honest, I don't believe the grooming accusations against Sean Chiplock.

Why, you may ask, when it's (supposedly) all laid out for everyone to see?

Well, after doing some research, I don't believe Casper (or Rina really) to be credible. Why?

Well, let's start!

Firstly, before looking at any of the screenshots, I want to acknowledge Casper himself states he never thought Sean groomed him. That was something Rina claimed, which is false anyway because Casper literally admits they talked for an hour. You cannot groom someone in an hour. I should know, I'm a literal grooming victim myself. (I would rather not share those but if I have to I will idc at this point)

I think it would be better to start with Casper's claim of Sean knowing he was a minor. He and his friend both insist that his age was listed in his profiles, which I can't confirm for Skype (or deviantart for that matter, but as far as I'm aware they never had any contact on DA), and that Sean knew this and still continued to "groom" him. He also claims he never did do NSFW commissions, and that his ex supposedly drew any porn on his account and that he colored it.

Oh? As you guys see here there are numerous claims that he never pretended to be an adult and that he had ages listed in the bio. But you know what? Someone found his Fur Affinity Account, his old Inkbunny account, and a FLIST (for those unaware, this is a PORN SITE.) account linked to his old FA via the Wayback machine. Now, let's look at this, shall we?

So, what about it? Let's look.

No age mentioned here. I'm not going to show every journal entry, but I did CTRL+F the keywords "14" "15" and "minor". No actual results, the numbers just were dates. I provided the link, you can check for yourself. His journals are just classic journal stuff, but he has no mention of his age, unlike the claim here.

Why would he remove his age from his profiles if it was already listed? Unless... it was never there in the first place.

However, I do want to look at one journal entry, which is his commissions tos journal. Why?

Huh? But i thought you said you didn't do those? He does claim the account was "sold when he was a teen". but doesn't give an age at all, or any proof of this. If I had to assume, this was probably after this entry below. Which, the TOS was posted of February of that year. Also, if he had sold it before that TOS was made, why does the archive still have his name listed? It had to have been a late teen when it was supposedly was sold.

Now, let's move onto the Inkbunny thing.

Same username as his old FA, and it has the FA linked.

As you see, there is the Flist account. What happens if you click on the Flist account?

well the actual answer is if you use the wayback machine it just glitches and won't let you go past the warning, but someone found the actual account on the site, which it also shows when someone was last online and when the account was made.

hm. The age says right there, *19*. And it was made 10 years ago. I'm aware the accusations were from 11 years ago, but this account was made a year later. I input the "creation" time from today (July 5 2024 for anyone in the future) and it gave me this date

He was still active on his FA during this time, judging by the journals. I'm sure the date is skewed like a day or so because I'm making this at 2 in the morning, so I have no idea if the FLIST thing was counting today or just yesterday.

So, to summarize: There is no proof that he has listed himself as a minor on any of the medias Sean has contacted him on. Any claims that he has that this "wasn't him", of course, has no proof. Meanwhile, as we see here, the archive isn't lying. This seems to have more evidence against him, as his admitted he used this username before (like I said, he never said *when* it was sold. but it doesn't make sense to me he'd sell it a year after talking to Sean, esp since he had no idea who Sean was at the time. I'm fairly confident this was Casper.)

So? What about those screenshots? Are you saying those are fake too?

No, I'm not going to be one of those "those are fake screenshots!", I'm going to operate that those are real.

Now, Castor, you literally see this weird shit he said to Casper, why the fuck would you side with him?

I feel I should clarify now, I don't think Sean is innocent either. I'm just making this entire thread because everyone is calling Sean a pedo, when all the proof I've seen is a minor invading adult spaces and pretending to be an adult. Genuinely, if you're at a strip club, you're going to assume everyone there is of age, right? Why wouldn't Sean assume the same considering this person was actively in NSFW spaces.

I'm not going to deny, those screenshots are weird. However, I kinda wonder if they weren't intentionally taken out of context. They had both talked previously on FA notes (confirmed by Casper's screenshots), but there is no proof of these notes. We have no idea what was said here. They totally could've had a sexual conversation (not saying they did, just saying it's possible) there, before moving to Skype. I'm not entirely certain of this though. This is just speculation, not trying to argue anything there.

I also feel like Casper's whole argument is lacking a whole bunch of necessary evidence. A bunch of these are just things he claims is true, while having no proof to back these up (minus the screenshots). Literally all the proof he has are those screenshots. Nothing else. I checked.

Meanwhile, the archive literally proves he had to been lying about something, considering the tweets I have shared vs the archive.

This isn't an argument, if this actually happened how it's laid out (x to doubt), but what Rina did also is insanely fucked up. The fact that they decided, without Casper's knowledge or consent, to post all of this "on his behalf" and make these accusations says a lot about them, I feel. This was not Rina's trauma to share. I'm aware he did make a public journal about it, but that was many years ago, and what Rina did was retraumatize and trigger Casper. That's not what a friend does.

I could argue that this whole thing could be intentional, judging by Casper's lack of emotion/anger on this (because I mean let's be real, who the hell wouldn't be mad someone shared your trauma to millions of people and you had to find out by finding the post). I'm aware they did have that little back in forth where Rina was like I MISSED YOU and yadayada, but they easily could've just.. faked that? But that's a whole bunch of hypotheticals without proof, and the whole fucking reason I'm making this post is to post proof against what claims I've seen.

Anyway, I don't really have much else to say, and Idk how to wrap this up tbh.

tldr: i don't believe sean is a pedo like everyone is claiming, i think he was lied to by casper. also, this was a decade ago, and everyone is acting like he can't change from then. i don't think the screenshots are fake and he should be held accountable for those (which he's trying to take some responsibility for but he rightfully doesn't want to say "those are real!" because no one can actually confirm those are real screenshots.)

Also, by all means if more solid evidence comes out against Sean, I will admit I'm wrong. But as of right now, a bunch of screenshots that are out of context, from a now deleted DA account/journal (and Skype) that you can no longer access, does not seem solid at all.

Hi Storm. Sorry if this gets long.

I find it interesting how that anon earlier said most JKKers are Jimin biased. I don't know if that can be true. Bear with me here: I am someone who came into BTS from a pretty strange place. Back around maybe 2017/2018, I was SO sick of seeing BTS everywhere on Tumblr that I eventually had everything to do with the group blocked via tag filtering - and SPECIFICALLY Jungkook, the most annoying member of all. He had his own level of filtering above all the others because I KEPT getting him on my tumblr dash, and I was pretty irritated that all the people I had followed for videogames and stuff had overnight become kpop blogs.

Anyway, fast-forward to now... the pandemic happened, I somehow fell in love with BTS (via their choreography and dance practice videos initially but they now dominate my Spotify both as a group and as solo performers) ...and lo and behold! My bias is Jungkook, the very same person I took extra trouble to completely eradicate from my tumblr experience.

So. When watching BTS content, my eyes are naturally drawn to JK. It happens, he's my favourite, I watch him a lot. BTS official content, performances, ITS, Run BTS, but also JKs cover songs and GCFs, etc. And through my watching, I am breaking down YEARS worth of misconceptions I had about Jungkook (and BTS as a whole). I dropped everything I thought I knew about him and said 'Okay, clean slate, YOU tell me who you are, because clearly I was wrong before'. This means, I'd like to believe, that I am watching with my mind open (with a capital O) to whatever I might be presented with, no matter how far it strays from what I originally thought these boys were. Because so far, most of what I have discovered about JK/BTS has brought me nothing but joy, even if some of it was surprising.

The point of all this, and sorry again for rambling, is that I came into the fanbase with zero agenda regarding dynamics between members, but ready to accept anything. At this stage, I didn't know who Jimin was, other than the stunning one with the baby face, who I assumed was the youngest. And while I can't remember the specific moment that made me first go 'huh' with JM and JK, if you truly do watch JK with both love but also an unbiased mind, you will notice who he is always gravitating to, who he spends his time with, who he is always making up silly games with, who he has a seemingly different kind of bond with, before you even get to any of the 'big' moments.

In fact, you would have to be deluded or wilfully ignorant to hold JK as your bias and then say he dislikes JM. Or to pretend that the special dynamic he has with JM is fake/manufactured BUT does still exist between JK and somebody else in the group (only in secret!!). And that's why when I see the loudest Twitter accounts from that other ship, it doesn't shock me at all that most often their bias is not JK, but instead the other member of that ship. Because if you truly like JK, if you watch him with respect and attention, he is not lying to you about JM.

I just cant imagine being a fan who tries to discredit clearly one of the most important people in his life. Whatever the relationship is, no matter if we never get more clarity than we have now. If you're a JK bias, it is so much happier and healthier as a fan to simply believe JK instead of wandering down a labyrinth of conspiracies and #freeJK and one ship covering for another.

I don't think most Jikookers are Jimin biased; I think maybe on the whole, they are of a variety of biases, but importantly they watch original content and do the members the service of believing them when they tell us things.

What a fascinating way to have gotten into the group 🤣😂 wow. Lol I don't have the stats and it would be hard to get those stats, but I don't think you can claim one way or the other that jikookers bias one member over the other. Often times we bias at least one of these 2 because we tend to all pay a bit more attention to those we bias and their interactions. It's only natural, but it's also clear that people who bias one of the other 5 members also still will occasionally notice jikook.

For example. My husband knows all the members. He listens to their music mostly and doesn't really watch their extra content except for the occasionally things with me. Like he sat and watched part of memories with me, it was the behinds for the dance practices that he was interested in seeing. He would watch the occasionally run episode with me when he had time and because he loves me and knows it makes me happy. And he watched the online concerts with me over the past year and half. He is staunchly Hobi biased. Hobi is his favorite for sure. Lol mentions him the most during the little bits of extra content we watch together. When I mentioned a while ago that I felt like 2 of the members could possibly be in a relationship together after I binged so much content, he just looked over at me and before I could say anything else he went, "who? Jimin and Jungkook?" Lol we had never talked about it before, he didn't watch any of the big moments before that such as GCFT or rosebowl or know about anything else they have done. He literally just thought it was them based off the bits of behind content and run episodes he did see. He said "they just are aware of each other the way that I am of you and just seem like they are the closest together. I don't know, it's just a vibe they give off I guess." Sooo it's not like you have to bias them to also see it too.

My friend humors me and is learning about them with me as I slowly introduce her to songs etc. I said NOTHING about relationship statuses and what not. I sent her music videos and songs, she would listen and I would send her info over every member every so often and what they like doing outside of just the band. She fell hard for namjoon. He has stayed rock solid as her favorite and asks for weekly photos of him even though she doesn't really consider herself army yet (I'll convert her). She just likes a few of their songs and loves Joonie. I told her JK made videos and she watched his GCFs, all of them and then asked who his boyfriend was, pointing out Jimin every single time (we hadn't gotten to learning about who jimin was at that point so she didn't recognize who he was by name yet lol). Said they were cute together. People SEE it, it's just the die hard anti shipping fans or other shippers who have a hard time seeing it simply because they don't want to.

Point is, that it's easy to see there might be something there, no matter how well you know them or really who you bias. If you take what they say and do at face value, respect them, their actions and words, it's a much more peaceful life in the world of the fandom. Regardless of what their relationship status is, as long as they are happy, I am happy, and they truly do mean a lot to each other and have a special bond. That much at least is so extremely clear and should be easy to see by everyone.

Hey could you do headcanons for the mcl guys (or if not all of them castiel, armin, and kentin) when their S/O is a famous singer? Thank you❤

Oh god this turned out so longer than I expected huahahushaushu

First of all, these are too long to be headcanons, all three of them have more than 1k words each. Also, I changed a bit the prompt. It's more like "Candy has the dream of becoming a famous singer". The rest you'll see... I'll only say that I'm very proud of this one ;)

Castiel, Armin and Kentin with a Candy that wishes to be a famous singer

Castiel

Castiel wasn’t one to be friendly to new students, but he knew you weren’t like any other when you came to him and asked if Winged Skull was one of his favorite bands too. He was shocked to know that there was another person at Sweet Amoris who enjoyed the same bands as him. Yes, bands (in plural). After he answered that, yes, Winged Skull was his favorite band of all times, you started talking about your common interests and discovered that there were many.

He was a very closed off guy, but somehow you managed to break into his skull in a short time and, in a few months, you turned into best friends.

When Debrah came back and that whole situation happened, your fight with Castiel had a lot of impact over you. In your head, you had just lost your best friend forever. Fortunately. Lysander not only helped you recover from the blow and gave you energy to gather your friends and expose Debrah, but also helped you admit to yourself that, you did have feelings for Castiel.

Once she was unmasked and ran away like a coward, things quickly came back to normal. In less than one week, you had restored your reputation, your friends apologized for misjudging you, Castiel and you were once again friends. The only difference was that you knew that you were in love with him.

You didn’t tell him about your feelings right away, you decided to keep your friendship and focus a bit on your lifelong goal: become a music star. You started learning how to sing properly and doubled the days of your guitar lessons. Castiel even helped you get into the music club (they were full when you got into Sweet Amoris, but he found a way to enroll you).

You knew that your chances of actually becoming famous were pretty low, the market was difficult and depended a lot on having the right contacts. That was why, while you tried putting your name out there, your plan was to get a degree in music as soon as you finished high school. Antheros Academy offered a good education and was close, it was your best option.

As you channeled your energies towards your goal, Castiel started to acknowledge his own sentiment towards you. He liked to watch your focused face as you tuned your guitar and your singing voice earned a sweet accent all of the sudden. He always considered you a special girl, but, to his surprise, feelings were starting to develop inside his closed off chest.

That was why, as soon as he won those concert tickets on a raffle, he knew he’d take you there as your first date. Luckily for him, you accepted right away. Castiel had a feeling that night would be something else.

And it really was, as he kissed you, without even thinking it through, when the vocalist sung what he knew was your favorite tune. When you kissed him back, he wrapped his hands over your waist and lifted you up, feeling your warm lips open up for him.

The months that followed were full of bliss. With you and Castiel officially dating, the school had a lot to talk about. Amber pestered you quite a bunch of times, but that didn’t mess with your relationship at all. Everything was perfect, as it was supposed to be.

But that didn’t last long. Right after you finished high school, your dad had to move to another town because of his job and you had no choice but to go too. You were sure that your relationship would survive the distance, after all, you were in love. This situation would be worked out.

Castiel came to your new house a couple of times and you two called frequently, but in the end distance started to grow between the both of you… and it hurt. Knowing that Castiel was sad made you miserable and you decided to break up before it became unbearable.

You lost your count of how many nights you cried thinking about him.

4 years later.

You were zipping your jeans up when you heard a knock on your dressing room’s door. Who could it be? Your parents had already congratulated you over the phone, there was no one supposed to come that night. Did your manager schedule a press interview for after the show?

You put on your shirt and told whoever was on the other side to wait. When you finally opened the door, your jaw almost fell. You couldn’t believe he was there.

He looked exactly like in the magazines, (a bit less photoshopped, but that was to expect. You went through that as well and it sucked). His hair was shoulder-length and he wore a black shirt that showed off the tattoos up to the middle of his arm. He wore some light makeup, most on his skin, which you deduced his manager made him put on. Castiel looked like you expected him to after all those years, but one thing about him surprised you.

His eyes, although more mature and serious, had the same brightness as before.

"Are ya going to keep staring like that?” He asked and you noticed you had just been looking at him for a solid minute.

“Sorry. Come in.” You said and made space for him to enter the room. For your luck, there was nothing private to be seen, you had the habit of leaving your clothes and personal belongings messy and only cleaning up the second you had to go.

Castiel cleared his throat. An awkward silence hung between you. You hadn’t been alone with each other ever since the breakup. You two were two of the biggest stars of nowadays rock music, but you barely had any opportunity to talk. Not that you haven’t tried, it was the opposite. You avoided contact. Your fans knew you had dated in high school (you used to have pictures on your personal instagrams and fans were quick to dig over old accounts to find information about their idols), so they never expected a feat or any kind of collab. Everyone knew that you weren’t on best terms.

You remembered just a couple of days ago, when you were interviewed for one of those talk shows. The host made a lot of personal questions about Castiel and even asked if you would get back with him if you had the chance. You tried to avoid answering, but the public instantly read your unconscious signs: yes, you would.

That was why, you assumed, he was there. To make things clear. After all, because of you yours and his fans started shipping you two and got you on twitter’s trending topics. He probably was pissed. There was also a possibility of him wanting to take advantage of the situation, maybe propose a fake relationship? No, that wasn’t like him. Or was it? You barely knew him anymore.

“So… you probably guessed why I’m here. I saw your interview” You were right, then. “And I want to make things clear.” Ouch. You should prepare for the blow. “Look, we both know time has passed and we’re not the same as before. You broke up to avoid more suffering, and I get that. I really do.”

Castiel crossed his arms and glared at you. You looked back at him with fear, fear of knowing what his next words would be. “But...?” You asked.

“Tsk.” He huffed. This would be more difficult than he thought. “Look, little girl…” You felt a shiver run through your spine at the sound of the old nickname he gave you. You had always loved it, even though you didn’t say it out loud. After what felt like hours, he continued. “I don’t want to be cheesy, that’s not like me. So I’ll just say that if what all of the fans are theorizing is true.... If you do want to try again....”

Castiel took your hand and you jumped in surprise. He turned your palm to him and grabbed a pen from his back pocket. He wrote down a phone number on your hand and let go of it, capped the pen and turned around to go.

"That's my personal number. It’s pretty useful if you wanna call me without having to schedule an appointment with my manager.” You managed to laugh. You knew exactly how these things were annoying.

Inside, you were bursting with excitement. However, you answered playfully “Hm…. I’ll think about it, mr. Rockstar” Castiel chuckled and excused himself, saying that his manager would get pissed at him if he took too long. You smiled.

Maybe it was not over, after all.

Armin

When you told Armin, very early on your friendship, that your dream was to become a famous singer, he got so excited for you. He already knew that you played the guitar and was good at singing, but he had no idea that you wanted to make this your career path.

You couldn’t have chosen a better partner. Being the tech nerd that Armin was, he helped you a lot in recording your covers with the best quality possible considering the amateur camera and microphone you had.

However, the times that his presence most comforted you was when you showed him your new songs. He was always eager to see your composing progress and gave you pure honesty in his feedback, keeping in mind that he was no expert but still wanted to help you.

You always asked him for a way to return his favors, but he always said that it was his duty as your best friend to support you and that it was more than enough having you to talk about all his geek interests.

As time passed, you started to notice that you liked him way more as a friend. Without an idea of what to do, you asked Rosa and Alexy for advice. They were your closest friends apart from your crush (and you couldn’t run to him in that situation, duh)

After a dozen pro tips and date ideas from them, you decided to take Armin to the movies (basic, you knew, but couldn’t go wrong).

When you asked him if he was available Saturday night, you didn’t say properly “Hey, we’re going on a date”. Actually, you didn’t mention the word “date” at all, hoping that he would read between the lines.

And he did, because as soon as you sat and the film started, Armin grabbed your hand that was resting in the armrest and entwined your fingers. You couldn’t pay attention to what was going on screen at all and your attention was completely drawn from the movie when the boy grabbed your chin and brought your lips to his.

You only stopped kissing when the lights went on and the credits started scrolling.

“Hey…” You asked as soon as you two left the place, holding hands with him. “What was the movie about again?”

Armin laughed out loud. He teased you about it a lot before you made him confess that he didn’t know either.

A few days later, it was him who asked you out. You kept going on dates for the next week, all of them simple but interesting at the same time. However, you two weren’t dating. The whole school knew there was something going on between you two by the chuckles and timid kisses when you thought nobody saw them, but you didn’t make things official… yet. But that was about to change.

It was friday and you invited Armin over to “study” (he was sure that the afternoon would be spent between videogames and kisses, but if you wanted to call it a study session, it was okay for him).

As he comfortably sat on your bed as if it were his own, you told him to wait as you brought him some juice. When you came back, he was already grabbing his nintendo switch from his bag.

“What makes you think that we’re here to game?” You teased, handing him the glass.

“Come on, Candy, we both know that none of us are interested in learning orbital hybridization…”

“Maybe I am. I really need a good grade on those tests.” You approached him and held his jaw up so your foreheads touched. With a trailed voice, you continued. “Unless you have something more interesting to do in mind...”

Armin opened up that playful smile of his. “Oh, I do, actually.” In a quick movement that caught you off guard, he threw you in bed and started pampering you with kisses all over your face. You couldn’t stop laughing from how his hands tickled your belly, but you managed to stop him. “W-Wait, Armin!”

He looked at you, confused. “What?”

As you caught your breath, you explained that there was something you wanted to show him first. You got off the bed and went to grab your guitar that was hung up on the free wall of your bedroom.

“Did you compose a new song?” Armin deducted as you sat in front of him again, this time with your guitar in hands.

“You’ll see.” You tuned your instrument under his curious gaze. When you felt satisfied with the sound, you looked back at him. Armin didn’t miss the blush that coloured your cheeks. “I know you’d never do it, but I have to ask even so: promise you won’t laugh.”

You started playing the first chords of the song you had finished composing just a few days before. Usually, you composed simple songs that anyone could identify with, songs about friendship, inspiration, changing the world. You never wrote about your personal feelings. The notes never made you cry.

This song was special, though, because it was about him.

The day it hit you that you had feelings for him, you had the idea of writing random verses that could one day fit into a new song. After your first date, you felt so overwhelmed that, looking at the words, you decided to turn them into a song. You didn’t think it would turn into something so personal and emotional. Every note, every word, everything was clearly about him, that dorky geek you had fallen in love with.

Falling deeper every time

I can’t help but think, oh my

I’m through, but I don’t mind

Would you trade you 2D girls

For this hopeless lover

That just wants your heart?

I’ll just say that he got the message very clearly and, as soon as you finished playing, he practically jumped on you, kissing your lips with such tenderness that you almost teared up.

Of course, he asked you to be his girlfriend XD

Kentin

The first time he heard about your dream, he was still little Ken. It was one of your first days at Sweet Amoris and you two were eating cookies in the staircase. You were ranting about how sad you were that the music club was already full and you couldn’t join. Ken asked you the reason why you were so upset.

“Well… There weren’t those kind of classes in our old school. Learning how to play an instrument and sing, even during extra classes would be so cool! If I went well, maybe I’d be able to convince my dad to pay me for some private classes and then I’d be one step closer to my dream!”

“Your dream?” Ken muttered.

“Yeah! I want to become a famous singer in the future! I know that it’s impossible and even kinda silly, but-”

“No, Candy! It’s not silly at all!” Ken said. Learning more about you made him happy and he didn’t want you to think for even a second that your dream was worthless. “You shouldn't be ashamed of dreaming big. You’ll have a long, difficult path to walk through, but when you get there - and you have my word on that - I’ll be cheering for you!”

“Ken... “ You flashed your best smile at him. It meant a lot to you to have his support, he was a kind person and a very good friend (he did cross a few limits with his adoration for you, but you weren’t bothered by it). You liked being around him a lot.

-x-

“Kentin!” You threw yourself in his arms and gave him a tender kiss. “Good morning.”

Your boyfriend chuckled and held your hand, walking with you through the hallway. You talked about how your weekend had been and, between light smiles and sweet kisses, you thought of how quickly things changed between you two.

When he came back from military school, a lot of things had changed in him, including his nickname. You were facing a new person and it had been a challenge discovering Kentin and building a new relationship with him.

Even though he was a different person from before, one thing didn’t change at all and you noticed it clearly: he still liked you. Obviously he was no longer that guy who professed his feelings to everyone and followed you everywhere, he had found new ways to show you his love. You enjoyed that more mature version of him, but wished he had the opportunity to grow into a man without all the trauma he went through. You knew that most of his growth had been through suffering, and that upset you.

You didn’t know when, but somewhere into your friendship you started to grow feelings for him too. After some coaxing from Rosa and Alexy, you managed to ask him out on an official date.

The whole school already knew that Kentin was head over heels for you, but everyone was shocked to know that you loved him back as your relationship became official.

“Hey, love.”

“What?” You asked your boyfriend back as soon as you got in front of your lockers. You started looking for your books, checking that day’s classes.

“I really liked that video you posted on youtube yesterday. I never heard that song before, did you compose it yourself?”

The book you held in your hand fell to the ground. “What video?” You whispered, eyes wide.

“What do you mean, babe? That video of you singing and playing the guitar. You uploaded it yesterday night. I saw right away, you know I have my notifications turned on to all your videos. I got surprised that you decided to finally show your face and sing something of your own and- Candy? Is everything okay?”

Kentin noticed your face and got worried for you. You looked absolutely terrified.

“That video… How did you see it? I posted it as private”

“No, you didn't. It was public.” Kentin was starting to understand why you were so surprised. He put one hand on your back as you blushed and hid your face on his chest in embarrassment.

“Oh god, I can’t believe I did that! I’m so stupid! The first time I record something like that, I accidentally post it for everyone to see! Dumb, dumb Candy! Dang, now everyone’s gonna know I’m bad!”

“First of all.” Your boyfriend frowned, bringing you close to him. “You’re not dumb, you just made a mistake. And it’s okay, probably just a few people saw it. Last time I checked was before I went to sleep and it only had 20 views. But why are you so upset, Candy? Didn’t you tell me a few days ago that you were finally ready to show your face along with the covers. Did something happen to change your mind?”

“Well, I was not ready to show right away, especially not in a video that I looked terrible in. And it’s not just that. It was my first original song. I never showed it to anyone, what if it sucks?”

Kentin held your chin up and looked you in the eyes. “Candy, it doesn’t suck and you look great in the video!” You closed your eyes and snuggled close to him. “But I understand your concerns. Luckily, that can be solved if you delete the video. You’ll have other opportunities to get famous, and with better videos.”

“Yeah, I can do that.” You reached for your phone and went to your youtube page. “Fu... No way…!”

Your hands trembled. Kentin was right, the video had few views (which was good). Only 50 people had seen it, but the problem wasn’t that. For your bad luck, one of those people had been Amber. You knew that because she had left three comments on your video.

AmberOfficial: lmaooooo

AmberOfficial: Thank you for the laughs. That’s hilarious

AmberOfficial: Just give up already, looser

“That girl....” Kentin grunted, looking at your phone screen. “I swear to you, Candy, I’ll make her regret this. I’ll-”

“You don’t need to, I’m fine.”

You untangled your arms from his torso and started walking away, trying your best to hide how upset you really were. Amber was right, your music sucked. You should give up on your dream of becoming a famous singer, not only because you were bad, but also because you could barely show your face to a few people without feeling like shit. You wouldn’t be able to deal with fame.

Kentin tried to call you, but you didn’t answer. He figured you needed some time alone. He could use that time to think of something to support you and get back at Amber.

-x-

You walked out of the bathroom, your eyes red and swollen from crying. You had already deleted the video, but you couldn’t stop feeling stupid for getting so upset by a few bad comments. And feeling stupid made you even more upset.

When you got to the hallway, it was empty due to classes having already started. You probably spent half an hour locked up, but at least no one would mess with you.

You went to the garden to get some fresh air and wait until the next class started. You sat at the bench, breathed in and finally calmed down a bit.

“Candy.”

You turned around, surprised to see your boyfriend. “Kentin! What are you doing here? Classes have already started.”

He just waved his hand in a “don’t worry about that” way and sat beside you. He kissed your cheek and took your hand, checking how you were. Seeing that you seemed to be more calm, he smiled lightly at you. “So… I talked to Armin. He already found out Amber’s password and he’ll hack into Amber’s youtube account. He’ll just mess with it for a bit, delete some videos and upload some random stuff. Nothing too bad, I promise, just some memes and rickrolls.”

“Hmm…” You muttered, thinking about what he said. It wasn’t right, for sure, but you didn’t feel like stopping them. You were still hurt. “Okay. Just promise you two won’t do something serious, okay?”

He agreed. You felt a bit better, but that wasn’t enough to lift your mood and Kentin knew that. That was why he also had something else prepared. "That 's not all. I did some quick search for places where you could record that music of yours with its deserved quality. You are a good composer, Candy, believe it. Your talent doesn’t have to stay hidden in a dark room with only you, a guitar and your cellphone recording it.”

“Kentin…”

“If you want to, I’ll help you rent a studio and record your song. That would be very useful for your portfolio. I know that’s expensive, but we can find ways to-” You cut him off with a kiss. He cared about you so much, to the point of skipping classes to think of ways to make you feel better. You loved your boyfriend so much…

Lucky. You felt lucky to have him.

“I love you. Thank you for taking care of me... “ You kissed his cheek, happy to have his support. That was more than enough at that moment, Amber’s words were far behind you. All that mattered was that you could go through this.

You had Kentin, and when you had him, you had your whole world holding you so you wouldn’t fall.

[that-thing-that-feeling]

Sorry for the huge rant but I like reading your takes and others’ takes. This isn’t about the characters themselves, but just annoying ass fandom behavior. I don’t want to come off as personally shitting on Steve, but I strongly dislike the way certain kinds of stans do the most to dickride Steve as the Most Character Ever while showing disregard for other parts of his canon character as well as disregard for other characters.

- Being misogynistic towards Nancy; either treating her like Steve’s entitled to her for a romanric relationship or demonizing her because ‘she doesn’t deserve Steve’, or demonizing her because she’s getting in the way of other Steve ships; people who look at the six kids + Winnebago scene and think he and Nancy should get together just make it happen for beloved Steve without taking into account *Nancy’s* dreams

- I’ve seen people try to co-opt parts of Jonathan’s character for Steve while simultaneously shitting on Jonathan; people wanting Steve to act as the older teen ‘dad’ for Will and El, forgetting Jonathan has acted more of a dad for Will in his life than Steve, acting like Steve is and has always been the only important big brother protector on the show

- A bit petty, but I saw someone on Twitter be so offended on his behalf regarding Jonathan’s “Steve? [chuckles]” like “Jonathan’s loser ass speaking on Steve”; I promise you girl, Steve will recover from this devastating blow (re: lightest ribbing ever) coming from a character who has literally never gotten to even see him in a long time 🙄

- Steve hasn’t been an underrated character since S3 (he is perfectly rated now) and yet some people will still call him underrated despite so many other characters being less talked about than he is. As if Steve doesnt have mountains of fan content on the daily and a near 100% approval rating, meanwhile I have to take a fucking gamble sometimes clicking on the few threads where someone mentions the likes of any non-El member of Cali gang (e.g. Argyle my new comfort character) because idk if people are appreciating said member or shitting on him in the comments

- Downplaying Steve’s growth by sugarcoating his S1 behavior. God forbid we let complex characters act like flawed people and have asshole moments and have autonomy but Steve has just never done anything wrong ever 🥺 it’s just mean ol peer pressure, or it’s all Tommy and Carol’s fault—or if it’s not, then Steve was just in an uwu vulnerable state when he was trying to actively pick a fight by following and shoving Jonathan from behind, and talking shit about his family when it wasn’t even about his relationship troubles with Nancy anymore

Like, I love Steve. I fucking love his development, I love how far he’s come. I just don’t think his particular character is a whole ass god amongst other characters in the show that requires a lot of coddling and throwing those other characters under the bus

Oof wow yeah I agree with all your points here, altho I don’t think it comes down exactly to loving Steve (of course fans should love Steve, and he’s a fan fave, and fave for many). But it does seem to often turn into fans pitting characters agst each other, raising characters to the level of saints instead of seeing them as flawed/layered, feeling the need to tear one character down to raise the other. It’s all v annoying and the fandom could be so much better about it!

[sweepingtree]

So I want to talk about Sessrin shippers and their harassment.

Hello IY/HNY fandom, I’m sweepingtree. You would have found my handle familiar by now if you’re active in the fandom. Not intentionally, but because some people are starting drama for no reason.

So the past few weeks have been really something, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t affected at all by it, although I really am trying to be unbothered. I had said I don’t want to react to shippers, and had really decided on not interacting with them at all. I received so many anons the first time round but I deleted them all because I really did not want to blow this up.

But it has come to my attention that shippers are accusing me for being provocative first, and basically saying that me receiving su*cide bait and de*th threats for drawing some FAN ART is in bad taste but not unexpected. They have dragged my handle through filth for no goddamn reason, when in the first place, as I have already emphasised multiple times, I DO NOT CARE FOR INTERACTING WITH SESSRIN SHIPPERS. I don’t like them, but I don’t attack them. I see sessrin art and I just block and move on with my day. My block list is over a hundred for this reason.

But I’ve been harassed by shippers now for several weeks, in several languages, on several platforms, and their rationale for doing this is that THEY THINK I STARTED THE HARASSING AND BULLYING FIRST.

So this brings me to my first point.

1. The comment I left on Satou Hisako’s (the animator from Sunrise who made Sessrin fan art) tweet.

I know the shippers are claiming that they’re all up in my shit because I left a comment on her fan art so here it is, here’s my dastardly comment which attracted the ire of all shippers. I deleted it afterwards because the QRTs were getting annoying but some shipper screenshot it as some kind of a “HA! I HAVE PROOF OF YOUR WRONGDOING” thing to try to say that the harassment that I’m receiving is well deserved so here it is lol.

For those of yall who can’t see it, I said “まさか、佐藤さんはロリコン？ああああキモイね“ which roughly translates to “It can’t be, Satou-san, are you a lolicon? Ah gross.”

I’m not sorry. I don’t take what I said back. Rin looks tiny in that art, and she’s wearing her childhood kimono with bright patterns that are really rarely seen in adult kimono. And asking someone if they’re a lolicon isn’t attacking them.

I get that I can’t expect foreigners to understand some nuances in Asian culture but I’m going to try to explain this: as much as I disapprove of it, lolicon isn’t taboo in Japan. Lolicon very specifically refers to depiction of child-like fictional characters, and even though it is side-eyed by many people, it isn’t illegal. Asking if someone is a loli in Japan DOES NOT have the same connotation as asking an American person if they are a paedophile. It’s probably similar to if someone asked you if you do dr*gs, or if you have a smoking habit. If you go on twitter and you search up lolicon , you’ll even find LOADS of japanese accounts with “lolicon” in their handles or display names, identifying themselves as lolicon.

Is this gross? Yes. But is this illegal or taboo? Unfortunately, no.

But whatever. The main point is that my ONE SINGLE TWEET to a professional animator with thousands of followers is not me attacking them. Compared to what I received from shippers, it’s NOTHING.

2. Shippers starting harassing me WAY BEFORE I sent that one tweet to Satou.

This, in fact, was the one tweet that started it all coming in.

Look at the number of quote retweets which were spawning MORE quote retweets from both shippers and antis defending me. I’m not going into specifics of what those tweets say but the general gist of it was basically talking about how I’m a child kidnapper because I took ‘Rin’s kids and gave them to Kagura’ lol and how I’m jealous and unoriginal and boring etc etc. I haven’t deleted this tweet so you can check out the shit show for yourself if you want to. I’ve also addressed the anons I’ve got in this post here.

I posted this work on 29th March; shippers already STARTED coming for me in my mentions. The comment that I made on Satou’s tweet was made on 29th April. A good whole MONTH after Sessrin shippers started harassing me non-stop. So people who are saying something like ‘oh she had it coming because she attacked the *poor widdle innocent baby do-no-wrong-ever Japanese* professional animator sessrin artist so she completely deserves whatever she got‘ are quite literally talking out of their asses because it happened AFTER the harassment started.

And yeah! Of course I argued back with the shippers when the harassment started. Of course I was rude to them and telling them to f*ck off. But you’re telling me I was unfounded? You’re telling me that if someone attacked you for making some goddamn unproblematic fan art you’re supposed to just sit idly by and say ‘oh I’m so sorry! I’ll never do it again! You’re right and I am indeed despicable!’? Is that what you guys would do if your art is just dragged for literally no reason other than people trying to police what kind of fan art is allowed?

I know some shippers are genuinely not such deranged f*ckers. They simply jumped onboard when they saw a few weird f*cks accusing me of starting the ‘bullying’ in the first place and there was just too much everywhere for them to understand what’s ACTUALLY going on, or even bothering to find out what’s ACTUALLY going on.

So I hope this post clears it up.

I never started any sh*t.

Y’all came for me; I defended myself.

Y’all came for me more; I ignored you.

Y’all came for me again and again and again; I ranted to my friends on private discord servers, I tweeted on my personal twitter account without mentioning anyone or anything, and I censor sessr*n every time I want to rant about it so shippers won’t accidentally find my tweets.

3. Sessrin shippers are actually, literally ACTIVELY bullying me on multiple platforms, all because I made fan art in which Kagura is the mother of the twins.

They are. That is simply what they are doing. I don’t actively search up ship tags, and I just block the moment I see ANY suggestion of supporting sessrin in any account. I’m entitled to block as liberally as I want because I personally find the ship repulsive. Some of you ‘neutrals’ may think I’m being harsh and you may disagree with my opinion about sessrin, but I don’t care. I really DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY SESSRIN because that shit is triggering af for me.

But I hear from friends about the indirect tweets that are targeting me, I see them subtweeting me on the sesskagu tag, I even heard from a Chinese anti about shippers from CHINA slandering me on weibo, claiming that I’m known for being toxic in the Chinese community (which I’m not even a part of ffs!) sometimes for tweets/posts that are NOT even relevant to IY/HNY at all.

Most recently, I made a drawing of an OC. You can see him here. In this post, and on twitter, I wrote a small bit about how his name is Bob, and how sesskagu named him that at Kirinmaru’s suggestion and they though a foreign name was cool and exotic.

Lol. I know. It’s dumb. I’m poking fun at non-Japanese people who either 1) write their names in kana even though they don’t know the language or 2) invent a fake Japanese name for themselves even though they are not Japanese because they think its cool and exotic. I don’t need to give examples, and I don’t want to specify anyone even though I’m sure you all have someone specific in mind. It’s such a common practice that y’all definitely know at least one or two weirdos who do this. In fact, I don’t even use my actual given Japanese name because of how involuntarily cringe I feel about this and I don’t want to be mistaken for being one of those weirdos.

TL;DR BOB IS A JOKE NAME. I’M MAKING FUN OF WEEBS WHO FETISHISE JAPAN AND JAPANESE PEOPLE.

This joke went right over their heads, though. And they started making fun of me for my OC.

Hey, weirdos. That’s the point. I’m making fun of you Western weebs calling yourself some variation of Japanese or Korean names (don’t think I don’t see some of yall also being kpop stans who fetishise Koreans as well). Asian names are carefully selected and chosen, and each character and its combination matters. I’m not going to f*cking choose a Japanese name for a fictional OC because that’s disrespectful to the naming process IMO. And look at them f*cking accusing me of faking my ethnicity again. I thought about addressing this, and those who know me personally already know about my ethnicity. But I decided I’m not going to reveal any more about my personal life because I really don’t owe that to anyone, not especially some dumb f*cks on the internet. I can’t believe I would ever in my life find anything in common with Barrack Obama of all people but here we both are, embroiled in truther conspiracies about our fucking origin story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(to be fair, Bob is also 100% a name that a Japanese person might give themself if they want an English name because some people DO think a foreign name is exotic and cool. I’m not kidding. I’m really not. I don’t get it, but hey, I don’t judge.)

I think it is evident that ultimately, these shippers are simply coming for me because I drew the twins as Sesshomaru and Kagura’s daughters.

I have talked about my feelings about that before in another post, so I’m not going to say more. And I think enough Inukag shippers and Mirsan shippers have talked about how they literally wouldn’t mind if they made those characters’ kids into some other characters’ so I’m not going to elaborate. I will still be making fan art of whatever the hell I want to because this is my hobby and I enjoy it, though I might be taking a break for awhile now.

I think I’ve nearly covered most of the bullsh*t that has been happening for the past few weeks, so I’m going to stop soon. But at the end of it, I think you all can see and make the judgement for yourself. From the very start, I had made it a point to not interact with any sessrin shipper, no matter how much I dislike the sh*t they’re putting out. That had not changed. I still do not want to interact with them, will not talk to them involuntarily, and will also not be responding about this matter any further.

Sessrin shippers, if you’re reading this, and you’re not one of the deranged and unreasonable ones (I refuse to believe that every single person who ships sessrin is so out of touch with reality to such an extent), I hope you can understand how truly ridiculous it is to be sending unwarranted de*th threats and su*cide bait to an artist with a really small following just because of some fan art of fictional characters and their fictional children. If you do have to talk sh*t about me or my works, do it privately.

I don’t expect you to like me. I don’t like you either. Just fuck off.

Thanks.

okay so since i'm starting this back up, i'm going to say some things!

I know... no one really cares... but i'd just like to let everyone know i'm changing some things and what they are.

so first off i am going to start crediting the photographer. i was kinda young when i started this and didn't really know that's something i should be doing (stupid). also, i won't be erasing or cropping out watermarks (very stupid, i am sorry for doing this). the problem is a lot of the photos are so old and a lot of the origins of the photos are gone because of deleted accounts, broken links, websites purging old photos, etc. additionally, many photos were saved on my computer but, the people who took them were not. so i will be trying my very best to credit the creator but in some instances, i will not be able to or i might get it wrong. I will always add them later or correct it if i, or someone else, do manage to find them!

also, I might be posting pictures I have already posted. I have no idea how i used to categorize them into the ones I have posted and the ones i haven't. it has been so long whatever it was, i don't remember. so this time it will be more organized than before but, there will be some repeats.

next, I will be adding the year, who's in the photo, and the photographer in the description, not just the tags. the year might be kind of difficult, so i might get it wrong occasionally. but if you know something i don't, tell me so i can go fix it.

I will also be adding image descriptions for the all pictures. i am new to writing those but i will try my best. so if you have a better description or advice to write them better, message me!

and then just some random things:

I have a twitter! follow me on there! i will be posting the same thing, more or less but on twitter.

I love when people submit photos, please do! but, try to find the best quality version of the photo and who took it.

we are adding jarrod alexander to the tags and whatnot, as he's literally in the band. doing the drumming.

i will fix the broken links soon but if you see any i still haven't fixed when it has been a while, let me know!

If you take any photos at the shows, I would love to post them (and credit you...). just submit them to me (please try to have them at the best resolution you can) or I can reblog your post if you message me the link.

i can (try to) help you find pictures, and i will try to answer any questions you have, message me!

i will be going back to queuing and sometimes posting pictures, i will try to mix it up with the era, so its not just new pictures but there will probably be a lot of new pictures.

i will be posting pictures of the whole band and not just cropping it to mikey

I might change things up depending on what needs to be and i can let everyone know. but i will not be commenting on everything and posting about myself and whatever. i find that incredibly annoying when picture and update accounts do that so. i won't be. I don't have a mcr side blog (maybe later) but i can give you my main if you want to talk.

tldr: i'm changing how i run this account and i'm glad to be back :)
