#its the fucking onceler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! part 2

[hand-development-affairs]

Buck how do you feel about being a tumblr sexyman, ya fuckin texyman

In all honesty? After doin' some diggin'- ah don't understand whats wit ya varmints n' this whole... "tumblr sexyman" thing. And frankly, ah'm a little insulted that yer puttin' me in t' same category as a buncha glorified broomsticks and seemingly any kinda man or woman or banana y'all can get yer hands on. Y'all parading 'round t' streets wit this- yer nuisances at best.

Y' see? Y'all can fight t' yer hearts content, if ya really want to- but ah ain't gonna be y'alls prized hog. Ah ain't easy pickin's- and I'd rather focus on... other things. Now, if you'll ex-

Tibs- Tiberius, eh? Well... Even if we ain't at t' same rankin'... or department... ah greatly admire t' work he does. Most suits- especially those city-folk suits- hardly have t' the kinda dedication n' skills that he's got- let alone respect those traits. But Tibs- anyone wit a good head on their shoulders aughta take note n' admire t' work he does. He's a damn good detective too- never thought ah'd meet one in real life- but by cog, if y' could see 'im in action... it's somethin' else, ah'll say that. Chances are, fer th' pests readin' this, y'all wouldn't even 'ppricate it. T' fact that he's takin' care o' Redd n Andrew too- fatherhood ain't easy, yet he just- grabbed t' bull by the horns n took the reins, just like that-! Not t' mention he's got quite t' nice set o' claw-

We know what you are, Buck.

... Then say it t' my face.

No.

Fandom song animatic tournament: Side A Round 2

The other side - The Greatest Showman Musical

"Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? 'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride It'll take you to the other side"

How bad can I be? - The Lorax (Movie)

"How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be?"

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:

The other side - The Greatest Showman Musical

Propaganda:

uhhh i never watched the greatest showman but the song goes HARD and its cool as fuck to see how ppl portray these opposing tropes & characters in their animatics

Obnoxious as hell but without it weed be down so many homoerotically charged interactions. The enemies to lovers people would be quaking

it was so popular even i wanted to make an animatic of it 😭 (i never did cause i didn’t even have a stylus at the time but i think that was for the better)

Luz and Hunter. Grian and Mumbo / Etho and Bdubs. Hawks and Dabi. I'm sure I'm forgetting something

oh my god??? the homoerotism of trying to convince ur enemy to join ur side??? whats there not to love?

The only objectively good song in The Greatest Showman deserves some respect, god damn it. Also it's a very catchy way to show a character's betrayal/character changes in general.

The song just overall slaps and also it's great for showing characters having a conflict with one trying to convince the other to join the opposing side

its very character driven, so no wonder its very popular. almost every fandom ive been in has an animatic of this song.

Animatics with the song:

Creepypasta Marble Hornets

Karmaland

BNHA Villain Deku

The Owl House

The Promised Neverland

She-Ra

How bad can I be? - The Lorax (Movie)

Propaganda:

it’s an evil bop

I need everyone to go watch How Bad Can I Be? By Public Spam Account. The best animatic every, plus the song is perfect for any villain character and came from a movie deeply important to tumblr lore

...the only propaganda i have for this is the time two years ago when a zine team gave andrew francis like $50 to sing part of it in the voice of morro ninjago thanks to a joke about onceler morro. someone did animate it if that helps at all

Animatics with the song:

DSMP

Hermitcraft

Darkstalker Animatic

DeadCells The King Animatic

MBIT ENTJ Animatic

Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

Can't Fuck Bracket: Group Stage Release Schedule

Alright everyone, now that Group 1 has been posted, I'm going to be a normal poll runner and post the release date for the group stage

Each group has 3 characters, and I'm going to release them in 3 clusters so there aren't too many at once

Obviously, not all characters who fit into a particular group are in it, because I needed to organize them and it would be impossible to find 32 forms of criteria that would apply to 3 characters and 3 characters ONLY in a group of 96. So if you're thinking "X character would also fit in Y group!" - you're probably right. But I made executive decisions to be able to distribute them equally

Cluster A - Groups Separated by Fandom - 29/04 at midday UTC

Some fandoms had several characters submitted, so I tried to keep those together so that 1- the same big fandom can't own half the bracket; 2- small fandoms can have at least one round of fun before they're inevitably swept by Pikachu; and 3- we can have some healthy fandom debates

CLUSTER A GROUPS:

Group 2: Mob Psycho 100 (Part 2) - Toichiro Suzuki versus Dimple versus Reigen Arataka

Group 3: Chainsaw Man Male Characters - Aki Hayakawa versus Denji versus Kishibe

Group 4: Chainsaw Man Female Characters - Asa Mitaka versus Kobeni Higashiyama versus Power

Group 5: Endless Summer Characters - Jake McKenzie versus Everett Rourke versus Aleister Rourke

Group 6: Marvel Characters - Tony Stark versus Peter Parker versus Steve Rogers

Group 7: Shadowhunters (All Media Types) Characters - Jace Herondale versus Book!Alec Lightwood versus Clary Fairchild

Group 8: The Mysterious Benedict Society Characters - LD Curtain versus Jeffers versus Dr Garrison

Group 9: Death Note Characters - Light Yagami versus L Lawliet*

Group 10: Final Fantasy XIV Characters - Zero versus Estinien Wyrmblood versus Wedge

*only two characters from this media were submitted, so this group has 2 contestants

Cluster B - Groups Separated by Genre/Media Type - 01/05 at midday UTC

Group 11: Video Game Characters - Kaname Date (AI: The Somnium Files) versus Scout (Team Fortress 2) versus Stanley (The Stanley Parable)

Group 12: Adult Animation** - Strong Bad (Homestar Runner) versus Tord (Eddsworld) versus Gojo Saturo (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Group 13: Horror and Thriller - Adam Murray (The Mandela Catalogue) versus Jurgen Leitner (The Magnus Archives) versus Jack Chambers (Don't Worry Darling)

Group 14: Children's Animation - Osmosis Jones (Osmosis Jones) versus Grunkle Stan (Gravity Falls) versus Eberwolf (The Owl House)

Group 15: Books - Jason Grace (Heroes of Olympus) versus Peter Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia) versus Hardin Scott (After)

Group 16: RPG - Hubert von Vestra (Fire Emblem: Three Houses) versus Anduin Wrynn (World of Warcraft) versus Gilear Faeth (Dimension 20: Fantasy High)

Group 17: Visual Novels - Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney) versus Sigma Klim (Zero Escape) versus Duke Richards (Desire and Decorum)

Group 18: Nintendo - Ghetsis (Pokémon) versus Bill Hawks (Professor Layton) versus Toad (Mario)

Group 19: Medialess - Mount Everest (Real Life) versus The Letter W (Latin Alphabet) versus Leg Emoji (Keyboard) versus Scoliosis (Submitter's Body)***

Group 20: Big Popular Anime - Black Leg Sanji (One Piece) versus Todoroki Enji (Boku No Hero Academia) versus Touka Kirishima (Tokyo Ghoul)

**NOT porn. That's pretty much the opposite of this contest. By this I mean "animation whose target audience is not children"

***to make up for Death Note having only 2 contestants, this group has 4. I picked this one to make up for it because it, by its nature, won't have any fandom involved, so it's not particularly unfair to its contestants that they have a slightly smaller chance of going forward

Cluster C - Groups Separated by Character Traits - 03/05 at midday UTC

Group 21: Submissions That Would Have Sent 2012 Tumblr Into A Nuclear War - The Onceler (The Lorax) versus Sherlock Holmes (BBC Sherlock) versus Jean Luc Picard (Star Trek The Next Generation) versus Wheatley (Portal 2) versus Dean Winchester (Supernatural) versus Sans (Undertale)****

Group 22: Characters The Submitters Didn't Think Needed Explaining - Olaf the Snowman (Frozen) versus Lord Farquaad (Shrek) versus Goofy (Disney)

Group 23: Immortal Characters - Booker (The Old Guard) versus Edward Cullen (Twilight) versus Dracula (Hotel Transylvania)

Group 24: Characters Tumblr Loves To Hate - Scott Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim vs The World) versus Peter Griffin (Family Guy) versus Walter White (Breaking Bad)

Group 25: Childhood Classics - James (Pokemon) versus Ken (Barbie) versus Saruhara Shinichi (Super Sentai Franchise)

Group 26: Characters From Media Tumblr Could Be Normaler About - Palpatine (Star Wars) versus Greg Hirsch (Succession) versus Stede Bonnet (Our Flag Means Death)

Group 27: Vegan-Friendly - Indoor Peace Lily (Submitter's House) versus Seedless Watermelons (Grocery Store) versus Vegan Leather (Real Life)

Group 28: Characters That Inspired Paragraphs - Jiang Cheng (MDZS/The Untamed) versus Bertrand Beaumont (The Royal Romance) versus Joe Goldberg (You)

Group 29: Canon Incels/Shitty Lays - Severus Snape (Harry Potter) versus Tim Campbell (Crazy Ex Girlfriend) versus Ace (Powerpuff Girls)

Group 30: Failgirls - Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Breaking Bad) versus Lumpy Space Princess (Adventure Time) versus Reagan Ridley (Inside Job)

Group 31: British Men - Prince Charming (Shrek) versus Wallace (Wallace and Gromit) versus Steven Merrick (The Old Guard)

Group 32: Others - Chuck McGill (Better Call Saul) versus Neelix (Star Trek Voyager) versus Dozen Roshuto (Reigen Manga)

****since this group has 6 contestants, 2 will move forward. This makes up for Group 1 technically not sending any character forward, and maintains the chances of a character getting through as the same as the other ones

     He frowns, recklessly tossing the stapler back into      the drawer he’d been rifling through with a      resounding clatter.  The desk had been      unoccupied; ergo, it was his for the taking.  He      leans back in the luxurious, hideous plush chair      practically engulfing his small frame and steeples      his fingers menacingly, glaring over his sunglasses      at his evidently careless new employer.

[franken-x]

This isn't a fandom but. characters specifically from vocaloid music videos if that works?

OO YES YES

so I'll be linking the music videos and this is probably gonna be mostly nilfruits focused (we'll see where this goes)

blorbo (top fave) : doc/dr popart

it kinda depends on the day but i uh. i listened to doctorine around like 400 times last year (I don't have the number anymore :pensive:) so def doc

doctorine

(hospitals, suicide, hospital affiliated paraphernalia)

scrunkly (cuteness aggression) : the bellboy

literally look at him. and I had a whole au and everything. i love him he is precious to me and he's living his best life in ironina

haine kleine

(see below for content warnings)

scrimblo bimblo (underrated fave) : oro andalucia

I cannot put into words how much I love this anticapitalist waluigi

he saw capitalism and was like "guess ill die"

ALSO THE FASHION JUST SLAPS. ITS SO UGLY BUT SO GOOD HE DID WHAT MAGICIANS PURE LOVE WAS TRYING TO DO BUT 10000X BETTER also I like the surrealism the references

salvador

(suicide references, eyestrain)

glup shitto (obscure fave): haine

not quite obscure but when I saw him in the background of ironina I was like "oh!!!! the man!!!!!!" haine and kleine is that type of song that you forget about for a few months and then when you listen to it again You listen to it for a week straight

but in terms of who appears in the background of music videos the most technically flurry and welter who have had the most appearances, one outside their actual series (baba yaga silhouettes (0:41)

haine kleine

(flashing, alcohol, depression, choking)

poor little meow meow (pathetic or problematic fave) : Fuck I already said haine he's literally the pinnacle of pathetic man UHHHHH armis?

I stole my name from her she's problematic bc she's a bitch but also I think she should be a pathetic girlboss I love those ppl i hope she's still alive OH BUT ALSO CLAY? definitely the most popular nilfruits character (maybe slightly less than kalmia but ehh) definitely a poor little meow meow

okay honestly most nilfruits mv characters are pathetic little meow meows

ESPECIALLY THE ONES IN SHAMA (which includes winnie schrader it's complicated but if u know miyashita yuu you know winnie)

shama kilmer

(religious trauma, human sexual trafficking, eye trauma, homophobia)

horse plinko (character id like to torment for whatever reason): okay first off fuck gui oakes but that answer is too easy so here's my ranking excluding gui

1. Ai (a mistaken belief of love)

2. Baron (franken X)

3. Haine (haine kleine)

okay so all of these guys are actively going through some shit and being tormented in all their MVs but that little part of my brain is like "it'd be so funny if you made it worse" and that's basically why

a mistaken belief of love

(animal death, suicide, blood, flashing)

franken X

(dysphoria, hospitals, blood, eyestrain)

haine kleine

(flashing, alcohol, depression, choking, honestly it looks like onceler x onceler shit I'm not even joking)

eeby deeby (send them to eeby deeby): strelitzia dude

I think he'd fit in

strelitzia

(eye strain, flashing, the mortifying ordeal of living to serve someone wealthier than you, blood, alcohol)

[fablecoingolf]

thots on LOGAN, on REAVER, on BEN FINN,

oh man, this might be long I warn you! I’m not sure how best to format it I think I’m gonna do like dots, coz otherwise it’ll be just a massive block of text

LOGAN:

honestly not as many thoughts as the other two aside from “nerd” and “inconsistent face” I look forward to trying to draw him one day and by look forward to I mean dread very much!!!

he’s totally not cishet look how he sits and his colour palette is pretty close to the ace flag so, though since he’s the villain for the decent amount of the game it’s important to be careful with that

I think that his design in combination with how the hobw tends to look feels antisemitic in a way that is recurring in fable that should be addressed more often I really hope if 4 ever happens they change the like good/evil morph pretty considerably, 3 is an improvement though

I don’t have many feelings towards him though as a character, there’s a thing with tone in 3 that I’ll talk about more with reaver that influences this I think, and just in general he sort of exists separately to everyone for most of the game, like he’s the player characters brother you should feel Something but there’s just no like. anything to their interactions. what’s his relationship like with theresa, with walter, with like Anyone, he just monologues at a map!!! do something talk to someone half a character is their interactions!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like he’s fun I’ve made posts about him before, on a surface level he’s fun but like past that I just don’t really feel anything towards him? so it’s kind of hard to talk about him

I had an image of him up on my screen while writing this so this entire time he’s been staring me down hdkdj

the uh, like art of him with, the front of the armor that’s shaped like a crown is very funny that’s supposed to go on your head what are you doing

I have my own idea of how Hero stuff works because this is my canon now and I can’t be stopped and I really don’t like some parts of how they say it works, but I don’t know if now is the best place or time to talk about that, it’s partially relevant to all these characters but it’s kind of hard to explain and I feel like by the time I reach the end of this I’ll have no more words so I should really save them? I don’t know, I bring it up because it’s relevant though I just can’t decide

REAVER:

it’s funny that that’s his name, dude’s not very creative huh? like a clothier named Tailor, we get it george you steal things

I mean my name is crow because.I like crows..but I’M allowed to name myself stupid things because I’M sexy and cool and awesome and my ideas are good ones always (sarcasm)

for real though my thoughts here are complicated because there are parts to this character that touch on things that I like(pirates,cool spooky void stuff,) but those don’t get like, any focus

I like him in 2! I only like him in 2. aside from the weird character design decisions 3 made, theres the tone thing I mentioned at logan that I’ve been thinking about lately I’m not sure I can word it right but I’ll give it a shot!

so like, I think, fable likes to be funny, the feel it generally goes for is fun and it’s a fantasy game yknow? characters like jack of blades and lady grey (and the crawler kiiiind of? a bit) are obviously bad but because of either the way the game treats them or the way the game feels or the things they do theyre fun villains who I like! reaver in 2 falls into this I think, yes pirates are real but, like knights and stuff there’s. I can’t think how to word it, there’s a difference between historical knights and fantasy knights and reaver is a fantasy pirate, the shadow court stuff is obviously bad but that’s also not real? the tone of 2 is more serious than 1 and I haven’t replayed it in a while so I’d have to play it to know how it lands Exactly. but reaver in 3 hits too real with actual things and lady grey is also evil rich person but the tone of the game carries that where 3 is serious about it and it’s effects that’s like the whole point and you can have a character and a game that does that but you can’t have that character Also be the fun villain because then it confuses things, that’s Also not to say the fun villain can’t be interesting or like metaphors or whatever obviously it’s just The Feel of the thing, fable 3 can have its evil factory guy but reaver isn’t the character for that for so many reasons. I really don’t think I explained this in a way that makes any sense I can try to word it clearer another time maybe

I have fixed this internal problem I have by pretending very very hard that reaver isn’t in 3 and that’s just some other guy and that’s fixed all of my problems, even that stuff aside from a character perspective I don’t buy it

I have a whole thing about what he’s doing in 3 because I don’t know who the onceler guy is but that’s not him. it’s very neat I think please ask me about it I need an excuse to talk about it and this is already an excuse sure but it’s already very long

anyone else noticed that he always wears things that cover his neck? I noticed it when compiling reference images for my animal crossing thing and I hate to give you the bad news but I am certain he’d never wear the sexy pirate shirt, if I had to design modern clothes for him he’d have a turtleneck

I feel like I could read into the way he dresses (gloves, high neck,yknow?) in an interesting way actually but I’d need to think on it more

also actually before I keep pretending he’s not in 3 I don’t want to brush over the transmisogyny in the poster which is supposed to be viewed as a positive thing since it shows up, like when the rebellion is progressing right? I don’t remember the exact point of the game but you get what I mean. or the dress which would be fine if he wasn’t an antagonist in this game + the poster making it clear it’s intended to be something to be made fun of

I have made pokemon teams for the fable 2 heros because I think about them a lot and pokemon a lot and I want to share but I might wait until I’m in a pokemon brain space so it’s easier for me to, but I have Thoughts

the man who lives forever by lord huron has oakvale reaver vibes for obvious reasons and it’s also a good song and you should listen to it

a few lord huron songs do actually but I don’t want to associate those other ones with him in my brain because I like them and,like, it’s not my fault our aesthetics overlap!! I hate that!!!!!! I’M the sexier bi/pan nonbinary occult pirate Back Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He gets ONE lord huron song, ONE, no more!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a few conflicting ideas of oakvale reaver actually I need to settle on one but I’m not sure which I’m gonna go with, one that song matches with way better

he wins second place in having inconsistent face hdkdhk

I’m always torn talking about him for like all the reasons I’ve stated and like, people talk about him plenty and maybe what I could say is different coz I think I interpret the character different to the way I see a lot, but it feels like I could put my energy elsewhere better same reason why it feels weird to draw him? he’s popular adding to that pile rather than like anyone else would feel weird of me, but my brain latches on to pirate and goes wild coz they’re important to me separately so, yknow I’m torn

I could say more probably coz like I said the fable 2 heros are my favourites and I have the most thoughts on them, but I’ve been writing this for actual hours coz words are very difficult to make and I have stuff I need to do today

anyway the oakvale ghost pirate is still cooler, he says yarrrrr and Didnt cause oakvales destruction, and he loves his wife!!! that’s like +1000 sexy points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he’s a ghost which rocks

BEN FINN:

he’s good : ) !

I like him! he’s good

my thoughts here are very simple and I can’t elaborate past “: ) !!!”

oh he’s trans and bi

and while I usually don’t care about ships unless they’re the seafaring kind, page+hobw+ben finn is cute

he’s just good I have nothing to say and no complicated feelings i just think he’s neat : ) !

one day I’ll elaborate on the hero thing I was talking about with logan I just don’t have the energy right now

I genuinely can’t think of anything right now I’m sorry hdkdjf I just like him that’s enough!!

On the Beefaroni-And-Cheese Situation

Hi there, yeah, I know.  All of a sudden people be crawling out of the woodwork about Beef, the fuck is up with that?

Well, it’s because their actions have affected multiple people, myself included.  And even though we’ve managed to not bring this directly up for... Oh, at least 6 months now, the dam’s broke.

It’s time to talk about what’s been happening.

Now, fair warning, this is All from my perspective, I do not have any screenshots, and I will be obscuring the names of everyone involved except Beef and I.  You are allowed to take my own view and bias into perspective when reading this, but I’m not the only one who’s making notes about this.

https://eatmyhighheels.tumblr.com/post/185970282571/important-callout-post

https://eatmyhighheels.tumblr.com/post/185986893251/update-on-the-callout

Please read the post in the first link and *all* its reblogs to get an image of what multiple people have been going through, then read the second to be updated on the situation

It started, for me, at least, back in February.  There was a small discord server that I was part of, as well as multiple other people, including Beef.  Beef and their then-partner, now ex were both mods of the server besides Mod 1, despite both of them being 13 at the time.

It was around this time that the Lego Movie 2 came out, and, as I will refer to them, Friend 1 and Friend 2 started making jokes about a character called Rex Dangervest being basically the Onceler.  I still understand very little of the context for that joke, nor do I care to find out.  Don’t fucking try to inform me, you two.

Friend 1 changed their PFP to a drawing of Rex as the Onceler.  And Beef got pissy.  From what I understand, there had already been a similar spat in January about another PFP that was really funny (Sansler)... or maybe that came later?

It was half a year ago, cut me some slack.

From my understanding of things, they verbally harassed Friend 1 and told the other mods of the server that Friend 1 was being rude, when they were just Living Their Life.  A day after Friend 1 conceded, Beef talked in main about how they felt guilt.  I tried to do good life advice, but was clearly shrugged off.

And then, because I was uninformed of what Beef had done exactly, I was filled in by Friend 1 and Friend 2 via Voice Chat.  That was Not Pleasant to hear about, but I’ll admit my memory’s still foggy and I don’t remember what I heard about there.

Flash-forward some time, Friend 2 had been, despite starting up a Very Cool project related to Club Penguin, losing interest rapidly because Beef was constantly yelling at Friend 1 and Friend 2 to not do over-all harmless things.  They also got an entire VC created for them because... I really don’t know.

Friend 2 made a few pleas to Mod 1 to kick Beef already, but Mod 1 is a very... passive person, too forgiving for their own good.  Friend 2 got tired.  On March 12 this year, they got Friend 1 and I into their server and started talking about going out with a bang.  Namely, a server raid to fuck Beef’s shit up.

Sadly, it did not happen.  My friends left the server soon after, and I only stuck around long enough to see Beef get kicked from the mod position, leave the server, and then see the Discord move to another place entirely.

Now, it seems like the tale should have ended there.  It would’ve been nice if it ended there.

Flash forward to May.  By this time, Friend 1 has joined Server 2, and was enjoying it.  The Logan Drama also happened, but that was quickly dealt with.

No, the real bullshit started because Beef was allowed back into Server 2.  Everyone thought that they’d changed, maybe.  They wanted to give Beef a second chance.

Beef did not use that second chance in any good capacity.  They started by complaining about not being able to use the Blacklisted and NSFW channels even though they claimed multiple times that the stuff there triggered them.  They also continued to claim that NSFW triggered them despite drawing it multiple times.

Eventually, a group of people (myself included) decided to join Server 2 to slowly call out Beef entirely.  That did not pan out the way we hoped.

I stayed on Server 2 for about a month, enough time for me to be privy to a rather Bad exchange where Beef claimed that their NSFW trigger was why they were asexual.  Now, it MAY have been meant as a joke.  

But I doubted it.  It was also just... a bad joke.  Especially for someone who currently identifies as asexual lesbian.

After I, in particular, told them that saying that was Wrong and Bad with some back-up from Friend 1, Beef then apologized to Friend 1.  

Beef just had some weird Thing about Friend 1.  I believe that Luci’s posts go into it, but like... Yeah.  It was a Thing.

Anyways, a little while back, Beef got vaguey and started complaining in Vent that no-one liked them.  Even though they were (and likely still ARE) friends with some of the biggest names in the fucking fandom.  I just kind of... snapped.  I told them that I didn’t like them, and had no reasons to like them.  Soon after that, I got tired of the typical Beef bullshit, blocked Beef, and left Server 2.

This shit has still been ongoing though, a few weeks ago a group of people began to mobilize some group chats together for Callout posts against Beef.  And thus leads to Luci’s post today, and my post right now.

Anyways, to summarize:  Beef has not been kind to my friends.  I hold no empathy in my heart for them.  Please, if you’re a friend to them, I understand your urge to defend them, but look at what we’re saying.  Maybe look into the other pockets of the fandom, learn more about them.  We all have stories about the current events, even small ones.  You might learn things you need to.

Follower Ask Thing

I was tagged by @ask-oncelers-race-car-bed and I really should be doing something useful like buying paper towels but given I’m not ready to leave the house yet, I feel like this is a good thing to get done first. Let’s get to it: 

5 Things You’ll Find in My Bag: 

1. Two full decks of Magic: The Gathering Cards and a few extras just sort of floating around. One is on loan from an acquaintance, and one I created at a chaos draft that I participated in yesterday. I’m really new to Magic, technically I learned to play a few years ago, but these last few months have been the first period of time where I was really exposed to passionate players and got the chance to play fairly regularly and attempt to better myself. 

2. The keys and padlock to a bike lock set. The length of cord that is the actual bike lock is not in my bag at the moment, but I keep the smaller pieces in my bag so that I don’t lose them. I ride my bike everywhere because I don’t have a car yet. It’s inconvenient and awful and this weekend I’ll probably have a gofundme up to help out with that, because I am struggling to live my life in a town where public transportation does not exist. On the flip side, I am getting a ton of exercise and maintaining a body that I am very happy with so that’s good. 

3. My comb and makeup bag. I met a really important person yesterday who could potentially be a part of my life for....forever, really, going forward, if all goes according to plan, and I wanted to look nice, so I brought my primping stuff to class with me so that I could prepare before my club meeting. Hopefully I wasn’t intimidating, that really wasn’t the goal but I worry about it. 

4. Deodorant. I ride a bike to my campus. Which is 5 miles away. Enough said about that. 

5. As of right now I actually have several indecent things in my bag. They’re just rather handy to have. It’s like a Giant Limestone Cube, yeah? Because you never know!

5 Things You’ll Find in My Bedroom: 

1. There’s a cat. There’s another one around here somewhere but I can’t see him from where I’m sitting. There is at least one cat in my room right now thought. 

2. A queen sized bed. It makes me feel like a movie star when I wake up in the mornings. 

3. Several pieces of Labyrinth themed art, including an authentic movie poster from back in the day. I love them all very much, I need more art. My bedroom walls are still rather bare. 

4. Clothing, everywhere. On the floor, on hangers, in my chest of drawers when I manage to get it there, on hooks on my door. I’m not a tidy person and it makes me flip out and go into a whirlwind of activity whenever someone threatens to come over. I want to be a tidy person I just don’t really have time. 

5. A plush ferret. This is a substitution of the real thing, a very sweet very bad girl who still lives with my parents up North. 

5 Things I’ve always wanted to do in my life (I feel these are rather obvious to people who follow me so I’m keeping this section very short) 

1. Publish books

2. Be a singer in a band

3. Have a pitbull

4. Own a wardrobe consisting of 25% ballgowns that I wear regularly and with no occasion required

5. Live in the city. Not all cities work for this, but many do. 

5 Things On My To Do List: 

1. Homework

2. Cleaning

3. Settling the prevailing and tiresome question of ‘What The Hell is Our Relationship, Anyway?”

4. GETTING A FUCKING CAR 5. Go shopping. I need milk. And Candy. 

5 Things That Make Me Happy: 

1.Completing a game to 100%. I’m a completionist but I set strict rules for myself for each game so that I don’t let myself go insane and never have fun again and pour 50 hours into doing something that I hate. If its doable, I go for it, and when I do it, I love it. 

2. Writing for myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love writing for D&D, for the various other RPGs I’ve been involved in, and even for assignments, but nothing makes me happier than developing a plot idea myself, with no outside incentive, and then refining and writing that idea and seeing where it takes me. I hope to do more of it in the future. 

3. Spending time with my partner. (And my friends but that’s a given.) With my partner its special, because I live near them now. I spent 5 years not even really with them, and 400 miles away as well. And now I live here. I get to see them four days or more out of the week. It’s fucking incredible. It could be better, there are things to improve on, but I never thought I’d get here, and here I am. 

4. Playing D&D. I can write D&D, sure, but I love playing D&D. I fucked up my last DMs story but he rolled with it and we all had so much fun. I mean D&D also may have permanently burned one of my bridges (working on unburning it) but I still love it. I love it. 

5. College. I’m in college! I hated high school. College is fun. I feel in control of myself for the first time in a very long time. Its a good feeling. 

5 Things I’m (Currently) Into: 

1. The Witcher. Not Wild Hunt, just, The Witcher. I haven’t played Wild Hunt but I can’t wait to because I’m very gay for Yennefer. I played the first one to full completion, it took 60 hours and was a janky time and I loved every minute of it. I’m on the second one now. It feels a little different and I definitely don’t like it as much but I’m going through it. It just opened up and feels like a real game so maybe now I can like it more. 

2. Critical Role. I watch so slowly and the story of Vox Machina has already ended and hhhhhhhhhhh. However, I’m going to keep watching and catching up, and when the new story starts up I’m going to watch that as it goes while I simultaneously watch Vox Machina because I think if I got any more behind I’d go insane. 

3. Dr. Pepper. I had a Dr. Pepper on Monday and it was the best fucking thing I’ve ever drunk. I’ve had Dr. Pepper before but never have I loved it so goddamn much. I want more. I need to buy more Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper in bulk. 

4. Kingdom Hearts. I’m also working on playing through the full Kingdom Hearts series for the first time ever. I’ve played them before, but when I played them I was young and really really bad at games of all kinds. I am no longer bad at games of all kinds, and am doing really well. It hasn’t gotten stupidly complicated yet but I’m ready. 

5. Analytical Youtubers. Last year when my anxiety problems were at a height I couldn’t do anything without something going on in the background, so I found a whole bunch of analytical youtubers that talk about games, philosophy, movies, math, writing, anything, and played them whenever I needed to accomplish a task. Now I play them because I love them. I love thinking about mechanics and cinematography and I love analyzing trends and seeing other people doing it too. 

5 Things People May Not Know About Me: 

1. I started as a strict poetry blog. Now I call my blog the ambiguous ‘journal’ because it has what I need and what I like and what tickles my fancy. It’s got cute animals and a ton of art and a very existentialist thread of humor running through it. I don’t think it will be a poetry blog again. Maybe occasionally. 

2. I read massive amounts of fanfiction from all sorts of fandoms, and have for the last four years, and can’t see myself stopping anytime soon. I’m really not public with anyone about that part of my life but it exists, and it makes me happy. 

3. I hate the cold. Anything under 75 F is too cold, and it makes me actively miserable. I endured 18 years of temperate zone living, and now that I’m braving the confederacy its notably better than it was. I still wear a big hoodie with every outfit though, it gives me a really informal look to go with my elegant every day wear. 

4. I expect my body to last until I am at least 93. Harriet Tubman died at 93, and as one of my lifelong heroes, she has set the par for respectable age. My family has some damn good genes so I think its doable. 

5. I am an artist. I’m not a professional artist, but sometimes, I make art. It is rather good art for the most part. I may post some, sometime. It isn’t digital though, I have no idea how to do that.

People I’m tagging: Well, let’s go with 5 because that’s the theme this time around. @scarvesindoors @asurprigingamountofbisexuals @mekonari (Hi Emily!) @friendfromthelitterbox @pessimisticrainbow

ok so ive done some personal comparisons, as well as watched a few takes on them, and there are a few steps to a tumblr sexyman. i will be using 2 of the most well known sexymen on the site, onceler, and sans.

an appealing design and personality: the design caaaan be considered sexy, but it is what the fandom makes of the design that defines it as sexy. what it really is is an appealing design people can latch onto and enjoy. for example, the oncelers over-the-top villain design, combined with the 2012 alt-soft-boy design made for something someone enjoyed. with sans, people enjoyed his easy to interpret funny skeleton design, and the intenseness (at least at the time) of his genocide route. it was appealing, it made people look and want more! there was also good writing. lets go back to the original lorax. it was a short book with a roughly 20 minute read time if read as it should be. it was also released with a 25 minute feature film. so when the movie was remade, they needed a way to extend the story, make it interesting! so they padded it with the kid and the girl he simped for, yes, but they also fleshed out the story of how the world was fucked over by some guy. they made him sympathetic. he wasnt corrupted by his greed from the start, he was pressured into the path he went down by his family! it was of course their faults, and he helped bring life back to the world! making this character sympathetic, gave people waaaay more of an attraction to him. with sans, they didnt only make him some funny skeleton, but with the genocide route, they fleshed him out as this self-aware being who wants to stop the player. they gave the audience a driving force to love him. now onto part 2,

shiiiiit ton of aus: both of these characters had this in common, they had alot of aus. if you asked someone who was into undertale or the lorax fandom when the events were fresh (summer of 2012 for one, 2015-2016 for the other) they could easily list many aus off the top of their head. now theres a reason this was so intense with these two, and that is because of the lack of canon flexibility. theres a reason it was somewhat lighter with sans then it was the onceler. since in the lorax, people lacked the ability to ship him with another character (there was a small amount of people shipping old lorax with the granny but that didnt last) so they begun to think of other ways this character could be, well, the character! this was also heavily intertwined with the amount of ask blogs, easily hundreds being archived and hundreds more not seeing the light of day. it was similar with undertale. well, kinda? undertale is a bit more of an interesting case, it still had the features of hundreds of fan related projects being similar, but it was also dedication to the character itself. thats why the pool for sans is a bit more watered down with less [insert that one image...you know the one] and more content like sans being shipped with the funny goat lady. but that brings me to a more gruesome point

the nasty: continuing from my point of the onceler, people begun wanting to experiment with relationships with this easily fan favorite character. so since there wasnt any other character to ship with* [they didnt want to anyway,] they begun shipping the onceler with the now infamous greedler, and many other versions. this is because of the dramatic character differences in aus, and even between the onceler and the onceler post hbcib[how bad can i be] [for convenience ill refer to as the greedler] people started doing this, and it spread like wildfire, giving people the chance to roleplay their favorite character interacting romantically, and also it was honestly some people being fucking nasty and horny. its the same with sans, with such dramatic differences in characterizations [i.e. underfell, underswap, error, etc] people begun to wonder how they would interact, platonically then romantically. it was that similar type of horny nasty ass person that begun to popularize sancest [idk what to call it entirely] and font cest [au versions of the 2 brothers shipped, which is honestly its own can of worms for another day] 

in conclusion, a sexyman is what id consider escapism through characters gone horribly wrong. its fun and games to enjoy a character, make aus, whatever, thats cool! it begins to go down hill when nsfw, but it truly hits the concerning title of tumblr sexyman when the character becomes a selfcestual pit of being shipped with themself in different ways.

now, do i think that saying [insert popular character] is a sexyman? no, i think that yes, that character might have a cult following, or yes, people might enjoy making aus of that character, but say a character is a tumblr sexyman when you begin to only know that character for the disgusting and quite frankly shocking uncomfortable self shipping and grotesque content following that

sorry for the word vomit, ive just had the topic on the mind lately lol

im so angry im so angry im so angry people have let the term “sexyman” become so watered down that it doesnt have a meaning anymore. its nothing its literally nothing you can call literally any character from any franchise a sexyman and therell be people like “oh my god they are though” NO THEY FUCKING ARENT!!!!!!!!!!! im sorry but just because there are people who find a character sexy doesnt make them a sexyman just because theres porn of a character doesnt make them a sexyman honestly i dont even fucking think there are sexymen anymore! theres no unifying traits! its all just bullshit! im gonna start assigning random chracters the title of sexyman and you people will eat it up YOULL EAT IT UP!!! if i said the air conditioner from the brave little toaster was a sexyman no one would even bat an eye and thats just SAD... we cant keep redefining the term and making its definition looser and looser. its become meaningless!!!! theres no sexymen!!!! theres no fucking sexymen!!!!!!!!!!!

[geno-flash]

OK OK HERE WE GO

here’s the oncest origin story from the mouth of the person who created it.

the day i created oncest i had just gotten home from school. i was in 8th grade at the time, so i was 13. i got home and did what i did almost every day, which was get on tumblr for a while before doing my homework if i had any. but this week was Different.

the lorax had just come out and i had heard that apparently the onceler was Real Hot. like a major hottie. and i was like :O!!! well i gotta watch it then! so i watched a shitty bootleg movie theater recording of it and talked about it in a deviantart chatroom. i had looked in the The Lorax tag on tumblr and found a few others who felt the exact same way! however this was a very small group– only about six or seven people. it was veeery early on in the fandom, and most of us knew each other by name. one of them had the idea to create a tinychat room for people who were fans of the onceler, and i was like. hey i could participate!!

when i became a part of the group, i immediately clicked with the other people and we were really comfortable around each other. after about the third or fourth day chatting with them, we started talking about who to ship with the onceler. we didnt really want him to make out with fuzzy orange danny devito, and all the other characters are kind of Bad so we were at a standstill. we had no idea who to ship him with. and then i Really Messed Up. i didn’t wanna take that sitting down. i didn’t wanna believe that he was unshippable. so thirteen year old jess laughs and types out “hey, wouldn’t it be funny if we shipped the onceler with himself?? like self cest?? i mean, he gets really self absorbed in the movie!!” and everyone was like heyyyy Yeah that’s a Good Idea!

and THEN to make it worse i was like “OMG WE COULD CALL IT ONCEST” because i thought i was so damn clever. and people thought the name was HILARIOUS.

then the others started making tumblr posts about it (which i can’t find due to many url changes over the last 5 YEARS, but if u go far back enough into my blog u can find my putrid sins. i recommend not doing that tho) and in that tinychat we had many great times talking about the dynamics of oncest and the differences between greed-ler and oncie and that was around the time people started making ask blogs. at the time they were simple, like just regular onceler and some slightly different AUs of him. i was so happy that people really liked my idea!! people much older than me joined our group, and they started making some really gorgeous art and writing. but after that things got a lot more intense.

the fandom had picked up a lot more steam and people, and i got lost in the mix because i was 1. really young, no one wanted to deal w a kid my age in that fandom and 2. my art was Awful. i really liked the intimacy that the small group had, and having so many people and so many different oncelers was REALLY overwhelming to me, and i had a really bad experience with someone who wanted to date my onceler ask blog but i was 13 and she was 23 and it was a really weird and bad and toxic situation. but that’s a whole different story that i can tell another time.

i left the fandom some time around when this thing called “camp weehawken” started?? i think that’s what it was called. basically it was an au where all the onceler ask blogs were kids at a summer camp. it was Weird. i left because not only had i lost interest, but it wasn’t what i had wanted to be a part of anymore. it was all abt the ask blogs and not the original character, and the ask blogs were essentially entirely different characters w the onceler’s face slapped on him. it wasn’t fun anymore, especially once i was spooked by the person who wanted to date my ask blog. after a couple years i was like “what have i done” and even now im STILL like “what have i done”

i just think its really funny now?? bc of course a fucking 13yo would come up w shipping the onceler w himself. it’s not a good idea.

that’s the story! if u have any other questions about the early onceler fandom feel free to ask. it’s very possible that i forgot to add some stuff
