Looking at the IW draw I'm torn between thinking that Carlitos is fucked and won't get past the first match and/or a draw this tough is exactly what he needs.

I guess time will tell 🤷‍♀️

Also Meddy's draw is... Far from pleasant...

Vent/transphobia in fandom

I regret looking in the trans //// Dirk tag bc wow... people sure do love to shit on other people's interpretation of canon.

Someone fucking said "people are making him trans to 'soften' him and make him more likeable" like holy shit???? Am I actually reading those words?? Someone being blatantly transphobic in the tD tag, where y'know, trans people wanna read posts about tD.

If you think making a character trans 'softens' him, that's literally the definition of transphobia, and that's something you need to work on. Trans men aren't Men Lite. We're not softer and more likeable than cis men. Shut the fuck up.

I feel so fucking sick after reading that. Fucking asshole piece of shit. I did not need to read that tonight, while I'm literally suffering from a 'trapped in the wrong body' flavour of gender dysphoria and S.I. and just TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE BEING NORMAL ABOUT TRANS ///// DIRK SINCE IT FEELS LIKE I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO FUCKING CARES RIGHT NOW.

Whatever. I will blaze my own way down the tD path. I'm doing it for ME. Not for anyone else. Fucking rancid-ass take, get the fuck out. No one wants to see your whiny transphobic arguments against tD, IN THE TAG FOR TRANS //// DIRK. Keep your transphobia to yourself, or I am busting out the duct tape. (Duct tape=block button. Yes, I blocked them. Don't need that negativity in my blogging experience.)

((Do not talk to me about anything that happens after Homestuck proper. I do not perceive those things. I do not want to know about those things. They do not exist to me.))

PS. Oh, I absolutely love finding any canon evidence to make toxic male characters into trans men (Handso//me Ja/ck, Joh//nny Sil//verhand, Br/o Str/ider, etc... actually now that I line them up like that, Bro is totally tame and normal lmao, HJ is wayyy worse of a person and there's tons of canon evidence I can argue with...)

Anyway, transing the bad guys... It's my favourite passtime. I could not give a fuck what you think about that. I like my men toxic and trans. I don't give a fuck about having "good" representation, because a trans man is still a trans man when he's a toxic asshole. That's the point. Trans men are the same amount of man as cis men. So you can SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT NEEDING A 'SOFT' BOY FOR TRANS MEN'S REPRESENTATION. DO IT YOUR-FUCKING-SELF AND LEAVE THE TRANS //// DIRK TAG TO THOSE OF US WHO KNOW THE TRUTH.

Guess it's what he needed after all 😂

My 2024 MAMA Thoughts

My 2024 MAMA Thoughts

Does anyone even care about MAMA at this point? Well, I’m a few years in to these kinds of posts and feel like I’m in too deep to stop this tradition now! Again, this is mostly to help me reflect on my artist and song preferences from the year, and also will be a little time-capsule of sorts to be nostalgic about in the future.

As before, the first artist/song is my vote based on the nominations released, then if relevant, I will also shout-out the artists/songs I wish were actually nominated for that category.

Best Male Group: Stray Kids (their stage presence is unreal, ATE album had some staying power for me); even though I didn’t vibe with a lot of boy groups this year, I wish ATEEZ was also nominated - the fact that they weren’t is so wild to me!

Best Female Group: TWICE (With YOU-th is such an amazing album! Plus I’m still 3rd gen biased all the way!); I wish Dreamcatcher was nominated, as always

Best Male Artist: Taemin (his Eternal album was so good);  not sure where the release date cutoff is for nominations, but I wish DPR IAN was nominated for his 10/2023 work alone

Best Female Artist: IU (I got to see her at her HEREH tour and it was amazing!!); Younha is never nominated for these, but I wish she was!

Best Dance Performance - Male Group: ENHYPEN - “Sweet Venom”; I wish Stray Kids’ “Chk Chk Boom” was nominated instead of “Lalalala”

Best Dance Performance - Female Group: aespa - “Supernova” (it’s iconic, simple as that)

Best Dance Performance - Male Solo: Jungkook - “Standing Next to You”

Best Dance Performance - Female Solo: Nayeon - “ABCD”

Best Vocal Performance - Solo: IU - “Love wins all” (more like IU wins all, she’s the best!)

Best Vocal Performance - Group: Red Velvet - “Cosmic” (really torn between RV and (G)I-DLE but it’s for vocals! Gotta be RV!); again, I wish the nomination was just 2 words: Dreamcatcher - “JUSTICE”. Simple as that.

Best Rap & HipHop Performance: DEAN - “Die 4 U” (he reappeared with a vengeance); I wish Epik High - “Antihero” was nominated

Best Collaboration: GroovyRoom, Huh Yunjin & Crush - “Yes or No” (I’m a sucker for GroovyRoom’s beats…); I wish Xdinary Heroes & Yoon Do Hyun - “iNSTEAD!” was nominated

Best Band Performance: LUCY - “The knight who can’t die and the silk cradle” (this category is sooo tough for me as I love N.Flying, HYUKOH, Day6, and LUCY, but objectively I have to say out of the songs actually nominated, LUCY’s is the strongest)

Best Choreography: LE SSERAFIM - “Crazy” (mores than TikTok trends, I liked it as another way of elevating Ballroom Vogue into more of the mainstream consciousness)

Best New Male Artist: NCT Wish (didn’t really feel strongly about any of the new boy group debuts this year but SM always has good production)

Best New Female Artist: QWER (I don’t really vibe with their particular style, but I love their presence in the industry!)

Personal Artist of the Year Candidates: Dreamcatcher, LUCY, Xdinary Heroes, Younha

Personal Song of the Year Candidates: Dreamcatcher - “JUSTICE”, LUCY - “The Knight Who Can’t Die and the Silk Cradle”, NMIXX - “DASH”, Xdinary Heroes - “Save me”

Personal Album of the Year Candidates: Day6 - “Fourever”, Dreamcatcher - “[VirtuouS]”, IU - “The Winning”, TWICE - “With YOU-th”, Xdinary Heroes - “Troubleshooting”, Younha - “Growth Theory”
