You'd make out sloppy with Firth
i would never make out with a capitalist. i may be easy but i have standards.
i would make out with Chitan though yes you are correct
#purely off of design choices and what kit's told me about another crab's treasure#i don't know much about it but i do know chitan has a little somethin somethin#and also Firth i won't deny it but i still have standards#it's about the principle

Listen. Flash has very complicated feelings and thoughts about Peter but if there's one thing he doesn't like, it's transphobia. Even when it's applied to Peter. He decked that guy out of principle, not because he's protective of Peter, okay?
#mcu#writing inspiration#writing prompt#peter parker#trans peter parker#ftm peter parker#flash thompson#he's a bully but not a transphobe#you deadname peter you get decked.#it's not because he likes peter#(allegedly)#it's about the principle

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:
"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.
an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.
You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.
If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.
Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.
#fandom#fandom infrastructure#fandom history#was working on the ship polls blog and the comments i get there often reminded me of this#every once in a while i've gotta reacquaint myself with the xkcd expert familiarity comic principle#and the general knowledge that people dont explain the basics of fandom anymore so people have to learn it on their own#while everybody just expects them to know it and that's not fair to them!#i will also put my usual thing: folks are always welcome to ask me anything about fandom stuff#it can be specific pjo fandom stuff or general pan-fandom stuff#i have been in fandom for a long time and i am happy to explain things#legitimately if anyone ever has questions about even the most basic of fandom stuff. go for it. i love talking about it

Tumblr media analysis gothic: In my personal opinion, based on my own individual perspective, which may not be aligned with the perspectives of others, and which is predicated on my own individual understanding and interpretation of the text, wherein the themes, characters, and events have notable elements of ambiguity such that a multitude of interpretations are possible and understandable, and said interpretations of mine are influenced by my own personal background and attributes, believe - but not at the exclusion of belief that other people may believe differently, and with full acknowledgement of the heretofore described subjectivity of my stance, which is an opinion, though I do believe in it and also wish to convey it in a persuasive manner that others will find compelling due to my argument in its support which I personally find to be well-evidenced in the text and elucidated by my interpretation of the text, on which I will elaborate at length considering all angles in order to minimize misunderstanding of my analysis - again, acknowledging the ambiguity and subjectivity at play in my interpretation - that
#this has been in the queue forever btw and is not related to any specific post. just a general vibe#like do you ever start writing a post and then automatically start expanding it to try and address misunderstandings that might arise#but especially like. the bad faith reading “shoot from the hip” tumblr reacts#and suddenly your post is getting long and confused#and your baby is no longer recognizable#and moreover this does not actually prevent bad faith or inattentive readings#and you should not write your post for people who will do that#sidenote i wrote this originally about media analysis but it's not NOT about the laundry post lmao. this principle applies to comedy bits#the time old “dissect the frog” concept and also that you will ruin your bit if you overly frame it trying to prevent idiots#and if you successfully do your bit straight up you will get idiots. this is unfortunately unavoidable the larger the audience becomes#the laundry post was a good bit that attracted many idiots#op#hellsite (derogatory)#tumblr#fandom

Free lunches for children is such an easy litmus test. If you are against it, I can easily disregard anything you ever say and forget you exist entirely.

#personal#delete later#for context a tweet i made in the middle of the night blew the fuck up and brought the attention of anime fans who've been#harassing and hassling me about my big factual blunder for an entire day straight#“ok i'll apologize” “bro it's not that serious.”#“you're right it's not that serious“ ”why won't you just admit that you're wrong and apologize!“#i'm not going crazy right. i feel like i'm getting manipulated into thinking i must've been wrong#it's crazy how twitter hate will trick you into believing saying something someone else disagrees with is a moral failing#sorry i haven't seen frieren i guess but what's it to you. i wasn't making a claim or statement#also because nobody has gotten this in the original post i wasn't talking about the quality of animation i'm talking about solid drawing#which is a very specific principle of animation. dandandan has really good solid drawing wherein all the characters are animated#with realistic and proportional 3d depth. newsflash but trigger doesn't prioritize solid drawing in their animation and that's fine#it's an aesthetic choice and has ties to production limits. none of this is a big deal. this is all so stupid lol#i've dealt with worse and more annoying weebs though it's fine i'll put on my clown nose twitter needs their stupid guy for the day#oh btw at the end of the day this doesn't matter. it'll be over by tomorrow. all that's happening is petty angry emotions.#so please don't involve yourself by jumping into the argument and prolonging this shit#i'm about to go on a date with tulli after being apart for a month this is the furtherest thing from my mind rn

*taking you by the shoulders* janet drake is dead and died before tim even officially became robin. lex luthor being involved in kon’s creation in any way was a badly executed retcon. cassie sandsmark is not and never will be the exasperated mom friend. bart allen is the same age as all of his friends and isn’t an innocent baby. can anyone hear me it’s so dark in here
#i can’t take it anymoreeeeeee#at a certain point i do realize that people just don’t care and the block button is available#but it’s the principle#they don’t even know about baby cassie smashing a lamp onto etrigan’s head#what’s bro yappin about#dc
