#like why are y'all nasty

When you go online to find some wholesome or funny BFDI fanfiction but most of the stories are rated Mature and Explicit and Violent and have very detailed and unfiltered summaries.

the fact Chappell Roan even needs to defend her statements on weird fan behaviour is extremely unsettling

you are not entitled to anyone's time, information, autograph, selfie, or body (yes, i say body - you are not entitled to a hug from your favourite artist, or any other contact, and claiming otherwise shows a clear lack of respect for their autonomy and personal space in that regard - it is creepy)

it doesn't matter if you've bought their music - you got the music, they got your support

the transaction ends there. you are entitled to absolutely nothing more.

i straight up don't trust any of these people saying "boo hoo womp womp" or that she's snobby or "looking down on us peasants" (that's a real comment i saw) for not dishing herself out to every fan she crosses by on the street. i wouldn't trust you to respect your own friends' boundaries.

y'all have gotta learn to act normal about other people's characters

just bc you think they're hot doesn't mean the person who made them wants to know if, or how, you'd fuck them. i feel like that's common sense. it doesn't make it OK now just because it's not a real person you're sexualizing. you don't know what they mean to the person who made them, and if you do, well what the fuck, then.

I wanted to make a post like this for a while, but since i was asked the question i can make it here!

i'm also speaking as an actual black person....so if you don't like these conversations where black people speak on black issues and how we feel, then just ignore this.

So in the past, yeah I agreed with this but my opinion has kinda changed with TF One.

However, I am still extremely uncomfortable seeing depictions of Black human formers Megatron because most of it, especially in ship art is extremely racist and relies on racist stereotypes of black men being abusive, violent, and problematic when his partners are drawn white or lightskinned (i see this all the time in megastar and megaop art. megatron is portrayed as the huge brutal black man and starscream/optimus are the small white twinks who are being beaten by him - it's gross and racist but for some reason it's common).

In general, I think it can be harmful to make a slave character, who inevtibly turns into a genocidal war lord and a generally awful person, a black person (even with his redemption arcs). it also racializes slavery, when we know that slavery doesn't have a race, and Megatron himself is a gladiator. Gladiators are slaves, and one of the most famous gladiators was from Thracia. This again is mostly a fan issue, because I at least have always seen Megatron coded as white in the comics and in the shows. In many depictions, he has a European accent, voiced by white European people (posh english lmao, or in ES Scottish).

That said, in TF One, I'm willing to let it slide. That's because Megatron isn't the only slave. Optimus, who is voiced by a white man, is also a slave, as is Elita, and Bumblebee. I think you know, not racializing slavery and having this notion that slave = black by default, is what makes it okay.

I still wouldn't feel super comfortable seeing Black megatron fanart because again, none of the depictions have been good in my opinion, as a Black person. And i mean none of them, and I do wonder where the thought in this fandom came from that making a person who canonically is violent and aggressive, was okay, just because he happened to be a slave. It is a far too common trope that I see in fanfic and fanfart, especially again...in a shipping sphere.

But I think TF One is able to balance it out, and since this is D-16, he is. a lot calmer, kinder, etc. I think things can get in muddy area when he eventually does turn into Megatron and he becomes the genocidal tyrant we all know and love....especially when you make the black one of the group the one who chooses violence whereas the white voices ones don't.

but who knows? My opinions are ever changing depending on how things are handled.

if you disagree with this, that's fine just do so respectfully and i mean at least be black

Just woke up and completed the last scene of my upcoming jay fic and i have no idea what I wrote (I'm officially losing my mind). The only part left is editing and it should be out by tomorrow. Hopefully.

[elliesbelle]

not to be tmi but when my ex comes to visit me for an entire week in just a couple of months, y'all will likely get so much ellie x reader content after that cause the similarities between my ex and ellie and the crazy amounts of disgustingly nasty lesbian sex we're gonna be having? the writing inspiration will just be flowing nonstop

Let's be honest, and I say this with full offense, Lucerys Velaryon is the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Dance of the Dragons. He is meant to be a sacrificial lamb to kick off the entire war proper. If we had gotten a full season of development with him like we did with the younger cast in Game of Thrones, I guarantee more people would've felt something. The only reason I personally feel bad is from a baseline level of empathy, because he was a child who was placed in an unwinnable situation due to his mom being completely irresponsible with him and his brothers.

However…

The comparison between Lucerys and Aemond is no contest. Love him or hate him, Aemond has an actual personality and goals when we first meet him. There's enough dimension in Aemond as a child to showcase the potential for sympathy between him and Jace at the funeral, a scene they didn't need to put in, but they did, which emphasizes his own innocence. Even before he breaks bad fully in S1E10, he's still far more compelling to watch due to the number of scenes allocated to him and his dynamic with other people.

This is where you and I are going to disagree just a bit, because Lucerys does do something in S1E07 and S1E08. He gouges out the eye of a family member and petulantly whines that he “didn’t do anything!” when confronted with the possibility of getting in trouble for it, then years later has the nerve and complete lack of sense to giggle at the person he permanently maimed only hours after his legitimacy was publicly called into question (again) and resulted in a murder. The narrative (perhaps unintentionally) glosses over these moments in favor of portraying him as good, whereas if you read between the lines, you can see that as being an oversimplification. The problem is that because S1 was truncated, secondary characters like Lucerys don’t receive screentime dedicated to portraying anything other than a single personality trait. Unfortunately, because of his role in the text and the way it was adapted for television, there was never a chance that Lucerys would be interesting.

I don't even have anything to add, this is just objectively correct.

In verses where she is not paired up with anyone, Maiz eventually creates her own children through science.

One such situation actually does happen in one of her verses for Super. Spoiler alert: only one experiment survives and The Kid Is Not Okay™.

The relationship with these experiments are impersonal; she doesn't see them as her child(ren). They're merely an extension of her and a way to cheat death, however temporarily. Unlike Frieza (and Garlic Junior, or Zamasu, even), she doesn't thirst for immortality--she doesn't want it. She knows that's silly. It's a childish dream. If someone were to ask her about it or offer it, she'd probably hesitate before answering or give a disgusted look. Everything is not meant to live forever, and she knows that--she's just hypocritical when it comes to herself because she refuses to let go of her trauma from the Saiyan Genocide.

Hence, why she would turn to unethical experimentation--initially, she'd try to figure out a way to extend her lifespan naturally. Longevity would be the goal. If she could get rid of aging altogether or slow it down further, she'd do that. But, time would catch up to her at some point, wouldn't it? Death would come, eventually. . . . And what's the point of continuing to live when everything she once knew and cared about is nothing but a memory? Without a way to stay in her prime indefinitely, she'd succumb to her innermost thoughts and worries about her empire coming undone. So, that'd cause her to make an army of Saiyan-blooded individuals. The relationship would be impersonal because she's not doing it for the sheer love of motherhood or because she had a change of heart and wanted to create something for creation's sake. It'd be to preserve what's left of Saiyan Culture. To continue the system she created, with no thought about them and their wishes. She wouldn't care about these children outside of that purpose; she wouldn't bond with them or be close, emotionally. Their purpose is to surpass her and be long lasting. To create another generation and tend to the planets, conquer more, enslave more, and so on.

They would be conquerors like her. Tyrants.

Not children, and not people with their own thoughts and feelings.

As far as she's concerned, they wouldn't even be allowed to talk out of turn unless it's to warn her of something. And goddess help them if they develop more empathy than she has naturally, or enough consciousness to ask her questions. She'd give them the cold shoulder. Depending on the severity of their infraction, she might even make an example out of them. She's very much "do as I say, and do it right the first time I tell you". Calling her a matriarch would be a stretch--she's more accurately a cruel mistress that violates the codes of BDSM for whatever reason. A drill sergeant. A distant, ever-looming guillotine that threatens to come down hard at the slightest movement.

The only upside is that whoever or however many of them survive--verse and plot depending--Maiz would become hands off when they show complete understanding of her instructions. Contrary to belief, Maiz isn't the type to abuse her subjects (read: slaves) for no reason; if she does, it's typically because they failed an instruction twice (they don't get a luxury of a third chance, sometimes once is enough), or because they happened to be in the crosshairs of her wrath, typically unrelated to their work performance. Her temper was much worse in the beginning years of her rule--she calmed down in her 30's, more or less.*

a Certain Group online: "doesn't matter what you ~identify~ as, women will see you as a potential threat and cross the street if you're there because All Men are potential threats to women!!"

what the women approaching me in the street say:

[lavnderkiwi]

If a group of people are telling you to stop using a word towards them, especially if its considered derogatory or a slur and regardless if you use it as a "term of endearment", your first choice shouldn't be to jump down their throat and double down on using the word.

Your first choice should be to go "Sorry. Won't do it again!" And NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

Whoever said the mango kombucha is the best lied they ass of fr

[dragonqueenbizawagi]

Yeah, that fits! Especially since I said my favorite trope is Danny confusing/annoying everyone (John Constantine in particular 😈), and freaking them out by being an eldritch abomination or at least a little bit spooky is also included in that!

What DPXDC Trope are You? Uquiz

I'm back at it again boys.

Take a gander at what trope you are so i can inspect you like a bug.
