#just remember that this is completely ooc

[laconchadetumadre]

Sorry to rant but

I actually liked kyman when i started getting into South Park because of their dynamic and Cartman's obvious obsession with kyle. I'm a big fan of enemies to lovers too, so Kyman checked all the boxes for me.

However, Gingercow changed my perspective of them. I remember finding this episode in a "Kyman centered episodes" list. I only made it up until the first scene where Cartman farts on Kyle before pausing and just staring at a wall for some time. I didn't finish it, but that scene alone made me so... uncomfortable.

I'm only sharing my first impression of the episode (and i doubt this was even intended on Matt and Trey's part) but it felt like a rape allegory. It felt like Kyle was being raped by Cartman and i couldnt stand to watch it. It wasnt just because of the literal grossness of the scene, but the fact that it was Kyle being forced to submit.

At first, i felt like maybe Matt and Trey were trying to shut down Kyman shippers, so i decided to pretend that the episode didn't happen. I was aware that it had been selected by a shipper as a "Kyman" episode, but i thought it was probably a joke or just a one-time thing, no biggie.

Then the Post Covid specials dropped and a good portion of Kyman shippers blamed Kyle and were upset at him for Cartman's ending. The fact that so many posts dunking on kyle were particularly popular with kyman shippers only made me relate less and less to them. Atp i felt like most kyman shippers only cared about cartman.

After that i couldnt stop noticing how unfair they were to kyle, always expecting him to look out for cartman, to put up with his bullshit while also putting up a fight (to keep up the "sexual tension", ugh) but then calling him bitchy for his reactions to being harassed or saying he has anger issues. I felt like my interpretation of his character was completely different from the majority of Kyman shippers, so i distanced myself from their community and the fandom for a while.

The appeal of kyman to me was that, if cartman were to have a crush on kyle, it kinda gave kyle a little power over him. However, most kyman shippers seem to interpret their relationship similarly to hannigram or other toxic relationships that are romanticized. So, in their eyes, kyle should embrace cartman as he is, cause that's a metaphor for idk homosexuality and eroticisim or something.

All that is fine, really, I fucking love hannigram but thats because they are usually written in a way that empowers will (the victim) over hannibal (the aggressor). They still explore will's "darker" side without trying to justify all the shit hanni puts him through. And, on top of that, unlike kyman, hannibal and will are MEANT to be seen this way. They were written to be interpreted as a toxic romantic couple. Kyle and Cartman, on the other hand, are meant to be comedic and entertaining only.

Im not saying fanon doesnt have the right to exist, but it does bother me when the fandom acts entitled towards the canon. As in, when fans think they could write the story better than the original author. This is particularly annoying with kyman shippers because, as i have explained, they cant even grasp the concept that cartman. wont. change. Not for kyle or anybody else (not even heidi OR YENTL).

just to wrap things up, i obviously do not support or condone any kind of harassment towards kyman shippers and if anybody has comitted or threatened violent actions on them solely for fan wars genuenly get off the internet and go see a therapist. im also aware some kyman shippers follow me and im ok with that! i like kyman fanarts sometimes but i just wanted to share my personal reasons as to why i distance myself from this part of the fandom.

TLDR;

kyman is bad because it is abusive and extremely ooc and kyman shippers are wrong for acting entitled and thinking they know cartman and kyle better than mattrey and the rest of the fandom when they, in fact, do not.  also, dont harass anybody over ships.

I need someone to genuinely explain to me why kyman is bad. I don't ship it a lot or anything but sometimes I like the thought of it ig? like oh yeah a healthy relationship between the two would be kinda neat yk? I 100% agree with the people who say an abusive/ unhealthy relationship between them is gross and proship, but I can genuinely see them being happy together. when they're teens ofc bc cartman obviously has some maturing to do. Just take a look at ass burgers or the end of obesity. they care about each other.

someone tell me to stop using the terms "giggling" and "crazy right" because I'm becoming increasingly aware of how much i use them

[fadewalking]

Do you guys remember SIX+ YEARS AGO when I had Solas say for the first time that Creation was the highest form of ambition, in his opinion????

SO THATS WHERE THE BREEDING KINK COMES FROM.

[beef-brisket]

((I haven't see Helluva Boss, so forgive me for how ooc everyone is going to be lol))

Satan glared: How so? Not only is going to Earth strictly prohibited, but you are carrying out assassinations as well, aren't you?

Blitzo: I... okay, maybe- but-!

Satan: No buts.

Lucifer sat there, listening to how Satan was handling the situation, and to his surprise, Adam was completely focused. Taking mental note of everything that was said by the Imp, Goetia, and the rest of the members of whatever the business is called- Lucifer wasn't really listening- he doesn't even know why he's here.

Maybe this was a torture technique. Bore Lucifer to death.

And to be honest, when Adam declared them guilty, Lucifer agreed with him. Not that he'd tell the new devil that. Not in a million years.

Lucifer stared in shock as Adam took the goetia's power away and banishing him from his home. It all sounded a lot like Eden. Lucifer has felt Stolas' fear before. Felt how empty you feel without your power, how weak, and betrayed one is after their father- or "king" throws them away.

Lucifer was left to simmer in his anger until the meeting was over. The blonde couldn't help but growl as Adam stood and talked with the sins. Some even flashed him sympathetic glances. Well, fuck them. FUCK them for picking Adam, FUCK them for betraying him- just... fuck them...

By the time Adam came back, Lucifer's fingers were twitching with anger.

Lucifer: ...What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you do that? To a goetia? A prince of Hell?! Or do Hell's hierarchy really mean nothing to you?!

Adam scoffed: Calm down, shorty. It's only for three years, which is more mercy than they deserve.

Lucifer: ...You may think you're in charge, but-!

Adam: I am. Duh. I'm the king, I KNOW I'm in charge. The only one having an issue understanding that shit is you.

Lucifer: I have no issue understanding it- you AREN'T the king! You're a fraud! A lair! A THEIF! That's MY crown-! Not yours! You're nothing! NOTHING!

The king stared down at Lucifer before rolling his eyes and snapping his fingers. Suddenly, Lucifer was back in his room at the halfway house. But what really pissed him off was Adam leaning over and looking at a photo of Charlie. Before she arrived in Heaven.

Lucifer: Hey! Get away from that-!

Standing up straight, Adam watched the archangel grab the photo and hold it close to him, glaring at Adam the whole time.

Adam: Who's that? Your sister, or something?

Lucifer: ...Sister-? No! That's- MY daughter! The one you murdered!

Adam: ...Murdered? I haven't murdered anyone. I mean, I would know, I'm literally the devil-.

Lucifer: Stop it! Stop it with this- memory loss bullshit! How can you NOT remember?! You hacked me up! Burnt my daughter with holy light- RUINED her dream! You're a monster, Adam! A fucking disappointment! Everything about you is a damn mistake! I should have killed you in that fucking garden!

The Devil stared down at Lucifer as the angel panted and glared up at Adam like he was the worst thing in creation. And being the sin of Pride, Adam won't deny that what Lucifer said hurt. Bee said they were friends... but when?

Adam: Hm... it seems you need time to cool off. And I'm obviously not helping- which is honestly a shock- I'm pretty amazing. Anyway, I'll let you uh... jerk off? Or whatever it is you do to chill out. Later noob.

Before the blonde could say anything, Adam gave him a 'peace' sign, before teleporting away.

Lucifer: ...Crazy motherfucker...

HI IT'S ME-! I HAVE AN AU FOR YOU!

God of War!au

👀👀👀

It's set during the extermination. Adam and Lucifer's fight is like Thor and Kratos' fight.

Adam: You think you can fall down here, start a family, and get a clean slate after all of the shit you caused?!

Lucifer glares, struggling to hit back Adam's axe.

Adam: That's not how it works! You're a destroyer, like me!

Lucifer's quickly lost strength, and Adam manages to smack him over the head with his axe, killing him.

Everyone screams as Lucifer falls back, golden blood running down his head.

Adam: Oh no. I say when we're done, asshole!

Lucifer's eyes snap open as Adam shoots holy light into him. He convulsed on the ground as his senses started coming back.

Lucifer: S-Sto-.

Adam: Fight. Me. Asshole. Like you fucking mean it.

@beef-brisket

(Interesting)

Lucifer: A, Adam n, n, no-

Adam growled: I have had enough of this! You WILL fight me!!!

Lucifer may be battered and bruised and barely able to lift a single finger but because of his pride he was unable to beg for mercy.

Lucifer: D, do it! ...pussy!

That was it as Adam felt all his hatred and rage boil down to him in that point with one clean cut, Lucifer's head rolled down.

The demons and angels could only watch as Adam proceeded to chop Lucifer's body into piece after piece.

When Charlie finally realized what Adam was doing after her moment of shock had passed she screamed.

Her screams echoed across the pride as everyone shook from her mournful cry.

Adam stopped what he was doing and turned to the princess, watching her with a mere raised brow. She trampled forward, ready to enact vengeance on her fallen father.

However, Adam was ready for her.

He had been the moment she was born.

When she had gotten close enough he shot a powerful beam of holy light in her direction, disintegrating her entire existence.

The so-called anti-Christ was nothing more than a pile of ash.

Vaggie: CHARLIE!!!

Oh yeah, he almost forgot about the traitor.

He flew right up to her and decided that an extra punishment would be in order. He was no longer taking disrespect from a former soldier.

He held her in a vice grip and refused to let go. He saw the demons around her moving quickly to attack him, but he moved faster.

He took off to the sky high above. But not too far away that she wouldn't be able to see what was to happen.

Adam: NOW!!!

The sinner's eyes widened as the remaining exorcist girls sliced the hotel's residents with their spears.

The former soldier could only watch in despair as the people she had grown close to were butchered and mutilated before her.

Vaggie: NOOOO!!!!!

Adam: You only have yourself to blame, Vaggie.

He then gripped onto the base of her wings and started to swing her around. He threw her so hard that soon she could feel the familiar sting of her wings separating from her body.

When her dizziness dissipated, she could see Adam smiling cruelly at her while he held onto the only thing that gave her the ability to fly.

She screamed as she hurdled towards the earth. Was this what it was like to feel true helplessness?

When she had reached the near ground, she was met with only the steel of angelic metal. She gasped as she began to cough up blood.

How could this have happened? They were the good guys. They were supposed to win.

Good prevails evil.

That's how the story goes...or at least how it's supposed to.

Her vision began to blur as she began to feel cold. She saw two figures approach her. Immediately telling who it was when she heard her voice.

Lute: A debt has been paid...But I think I'll make do on my promise.

She unsheathed her sword and, with one swoop, cut out her good eye. Watching it pop right out as at long last the traitor was dead.

In the midst of it all, there was Adam with his right hand standing by proudly. The cannibal army left not too long ago. Not wanting to take any chances with their souls.

However, too bad for them Adam wasn't finished. In fact, he was just getting started.

Adam: I have had enough.

the thing about barton and his own 'foil' as she should technically be considered, as she is technically the complete opposite of him in every way that matters, is that sumire [ whom i have talked about a few times on here, albeit briefly, so i will give you a brief refresher on her and that is that... her character eventually commits these killings based on the twelve main tarot cards in a deck based on them not fitting her idea of what 'perfect' looks like (kind of like barton BUT much different at the same time) ] and barton used to know each other as they were best friends as kids — even if it was only for a few years.

and as strange as this may sound, a broken promise between them was partially the catalyst behind what started her descent into feeling this need to 'judge' people, which is quite the coincidence as it may seem. because where do most of her victims end up dying? in these settings where she has set up these 'mock trials' for people. so, i know that i said i would talk about how barton had inadvertently created a monster a longgg time ago, but i now am sharing it with you all. because although one cannot blame barton fully for her actions as sumire, of course, has to take responsibility for them herself; but this did play a part in being a catalyst for her feeling all of this resentment and hatred for the world / people around her that led up to her first murder.

which, as you might have it, was the chariot: a tarot card that symbolizes revenge, willpower, and essentially tries to subconsciously put off this message that you are moving in the 'right direction.' i don't think it's so much just the promise itself though that makes this important — it's also that barton himself essentially forgot about the promise he made to sumire, as terrible as that may sound. it actually kind of gives you more insight as to what was going on in barton's mind as a kid because he basically made sumire promise him this: that, if he ever got on the 'wrong path,' that sumire would be there to show him a better one. and that she would attempt to reconnect with him if they ever got separated somehow / give him a sign of some kind that she was still there, so he could meet her.

and i say that this provides more insight because i haven't really gone into depth about this, but barton has expressed this idea in one roleplay on here. + that is that he didn't want to end up like this. however, regardless of that statement, there is no washing away of all of the heinous things he's done and he chose to do them anyway. i'm just thinking about how messed up it is that sumire, up until the point where she started her murders, had casually been searching for barton because the way in which his victims were found was vaguely remiscent of the way that wesley used to kill his victims. + this meant that he was definitely on the wrong path and she would eventually end up on the wrong one too.

Are you sure you want to do this?

█████, did you forget how much we spent working on this? We can’t afford to quit now.

Yes, sir, I was just checking up with you. This just has... ramifications, if it goes wrong. We have the power of an entire neutron star in a small machine.

And we’ll need that power for ███████. Only with this we can bring him to our plane.

I’m not protesting, sir, but all of that power in a mortal body could be dangerous, even to ███████ himself-

███████ knows their ways. If this doesn’t work, then everything we’ve been working on is a lie, which is impossible. I’ve talked to them myself. This has to work. Continue.

...Yes, sir. Bring in the neutron.

(the neutron entered the room happy, carried by two photons. they were excited.)

Enter the machine, and sit still in the chair.

Yes, sir! 

I understand your enthusiasm, ████, I have it too, but there’s no need to shout. Start the machine, █████.

Understood. (they made the machine power on, whirring with anger.) I’m getting... mixed signals from this. Some settings might be wrong, I can shut it down, we can have a second chance-

And what happens when the police find the electricity bill? How many electrons we’ve practically destroyed to make this? There is no second chance. Keep going.

(the machine began whirring louder and higher. █████ prayed that their god was enough to keep them safe after all of this was over.) The machine will be ready in 10 seconds. 8 seconds. (as the photon counted down, the neutron was beginning to get... anxious. What was this? Sacrilege? No. They had to think good thoughts, good happy not mean thoughts that wont hurt anyone-) Now. (the room in the machine became pure white with electricity.) It’s not supposed to do that-

This, will work. Calm dow- (the machine started sounding like lightning bolts crashing, and the room turned the slightest bit... green?)

S-Sir, we need to evacuate. (the guards started to step back from the machine, a few running away.) This isn’t safe! We failed!

We did not fail. There is no way we could- 

(a deafening bang. the facility and everything near it was converted into some strange, green substance. from the middle of the decay, a voice could be heard.)

H-hello?

Having vivid dreams is so odd at times because I remember a few days ago I had a dream where Arcane had a different ending.

Most of it is fuzzy but I specifically recall even after Jayce said "we finish this together" Viktor still pushed him away and forced him out - deeming that Jayce deserved to go on in inspite of Jayce's protests, thus he comes back alive. Obviously completely devastated afterwards he's in an almost catatonic state and no one could get through to him. Due to this everything else proceeded as the original (Mel to Noxus, Catvi final conversation), until one moment where Jayce remembers Viktor saying "in the pursuit of great we failed to do good" and then he just gets up and walks to Ximena's house and the final shot we see of him is of his back as he just begins to crumple in her arms as they hug.

I then remember opening TikTok and seeing an edit of the two of them to "From now on" from the greatest showman with that scene being under the line "But when I stop an see you here, I remember who all this was for".

All this to say is I was hit with severe emotional damage and have not stopped thinking about that dream. I now I need an edit of them to that song.

something i think new writers forget is that you can't break the rules if you haven't mastered them yet. it may seem boring or cliche to adhere to a standard that may be uncomfortable (from a purely technical perspective), but it helps you see who you are as a writer in contrast. so you know which rules to break to better reflect yourself. so you know what tools you've gathered to express your ideas in a way that aligns with your purpose.

all words have utility, but putting them together meaningfully is fucking hard work.

i rarely post ooc on here but here's my long winded rambling about something that i keep seeing in regards to the show. like i've seen these different takes that somehow in the show mat's been given more layers and depth. but like i can't see where or how tbh all the show's given me so far is

his "gritty" backstory. supposedly to "explain" why he's the way he is. even though in the show he's not at all the way he is supposed to be ---

his disloyalty. abandoning his friends to possible death, abandoning egwene in the tower. they took one of his biggest driving points and just erased it entirely. this is not the mat that chased an assassin all the way to tear to save the wondergirls. this is not the mat that turned back towards a literal war when he had never fought in one before.

his innate darkness that drew him to the dagger. no mat couldn't just want gold, he couldn't even be greedy. he needs to have a darkness that made moiraine so sure he'd choose the dark. and apparently ishamael saying he belonged to him since birth ? like uhm did i hear that right?

these are literally the only traits he's been given. -- how does one do a more complex mat than the one robert jordan wrote anyways? he's confusing af - no one understands what's going on with him not even himself. like i always see sando getting flack about how he wrote mat. like he did better than anything the shows done so far tbh.

but this leads me to the whole 'the show did it better than the books' or that "the show fixed things" about every single little or major change that the show makes.  like prefer one over the other, love one hate the other. cool nbd. but -- i've never seen the source material of an adaptation so -- idk hated by the fandom? it confuses me how much flack robert jordan gets for writing a certain thing or a certain character but the show gets praised for a basically hollowed out poorly done adaptation. like i can enjoy the show, there are good things ( hello josha ) and there are bad ( the over the top age drops of the aes sedai. alanna's lowkey creepy with much young warders - they do know they don't get the same life span right? - and moiraine didn't give up her life for the search for the dragon. how long did she live before his birth ?? etc etc ). but i don't know how one could "understand" the characters or world better than the person that wrote it. i don't get how anyone could be interested in a world or characters from a book series that they seemingly hate ? by an author they basically hate, too? that's just my take i guess. i for one love the books. so ---

i'll go crawl back into my corner now ---

just finished the epilogue from re: dracula and i'm just..... do you think they ever think about renfield? :( does mina ever remember what he sacrificed for her? does jack ever look back with shame at how he treated him, dismissed him? the final note has that bit about little quincey's names tying together all the group and how someday they'll tell him the full story of how so many men risked it all to save his mother... do you think renfield ever figures in that? does his name get remembered? or is his part in the story lost?

[mad-hunts]

okay, but just hear me out here while i describe another date idea for those muses with barton romantically. they spend the day at the ice rink because he finds out that they have either no experience or very little experience with ice-skating + he decides that he wants to teach them how to skate; so, they go through the day without even realizing how late it's gotten and that it's almost closing time.

BUT barton sees an opportunity and pretty much bribes the person running the rink (nicely LOL) to let them stay an hour or so more past closing time. and he does this before returning to your muse, being like 'you know... i might've the guy running this place to let us stay a little longer, so how about we try something more complicated?' and barton just kind of eases them into couples ice-skating with him with some music in the background + i just... GAHHH.

the way that he would make sure they wouldn't fall just like yves did for him so long ago is so 😭 plus, it being basically like slow-dancing, but in longer steps because they're sliding across the ice? and once their hour is up, barton just kind of rising them up + spinning them?? i am officially DEAD (but in a good way jsjsj LOL)

The funniest part is that Olympia really doesn't know what she's doing. The fact she's pulling off that outfit so well is solely because it's her, y'know? You look at that outfit and think 'Yeah, that's Olympia'. If you asked her for advice, she'd have no fuckin' clue where to start.
