Any reason why you ship Gangle x Zooble?
( i also ship them ) đ„șâ€
TYSM FOR ASKING AHEM
1- They would just work together (I love the ship dynamic so much!!!)
2- They would comfort each other like when zooble hates themselves she would say cute stuff and tell them how amazing they are
3- Zooble would gladly kill Jax for her <3
4- they would stand up for her when she's too scared too
5- Both have fragile bodies so they could relate to eachother
6- I feel like zooble would have physical affection unless it was from her
7- They would hang out often and yap about their hatred for jax
8- yapper x listener?! <3
9- Cuties are my favorite characters <3 fav character x fav character hits different
10- They're so different from each other which is cuteee
11- I feel like Gangle would dream about them often :3
12- Its really funny imagining Gangle begging zooble to go on an adventure
13- Caine would pick up on their closeness and use it to his advantage (ex: Telling zooble if they went on the adventure they could pair with gangle)
14- Cute weeb probably obsessed with sanrio and cute things X punk baddie who never really thought about that stuff until they met her
15- Zooble would also probably think of her whenever they see any cute stuff
16- Gangle would help them find parts they like
17- zooble would help Gangle fix her mask often
18- date where they murder jax <3
19- Zooble would try their best to comfort Gangle
20- I feel like they would both have mood swings (Zooble wouldn't have them as bad as gangle tho duh)
21- Their ship name is literally abstragedy its meant to be
22- Zooble would try to protect her from jax
23- They're just drawn to each other cuz they're soulmates
24- I cant remember if this was a dream or not but gooseworx posted a photo of her liked posts and one of them was zooble and Gangle hugging?! (Don't take my word for it tho I have bad memory But im pretty sure it did happen)
25- "Gangles too shy to say anything about it.." HOW CAN YOU HEAR THAT AND NOT SEE THE LOVE IN THEIR DIFFERENTLY SIZED EYES?!
26- "What about zooble..?" Not her being the only one who cared? Not her loving them and wanting to marry them?
27- also her wanting to save them but kinger won lol imagine STOP ABSTRAGEDY COMMUNITY WOUKD BE GOING CRAZY IF GANGLE WON ROCK PAPER SCISSORS SOMEHOW AND SAVED THEM
28- The christmas promo where zooble gave her a new mask?!
29- Gangle probably is obsessed a little
30- Zooble makes her feel like shes cared about and that she matters <3
31- I want coleslaw
32- Zooble has a lot of knowledge about animes Gangle likes because she's a yapper like that probably
33- Uh not zooble putting their hands near their heart and looking more relaxed when they talk about her? The love is showing they can't even hide it
34- Gangles probably a scaredy cat so she would run to zooble when something scares her
35- Zooble would actually take time to get to know her which makes her feel loved
36- Zooble would be so confused and like idk about their own emotions because they've never felt this way for anyone else
37- Gangle would be very concerned about how they feel about stuff which no one has really cared about that before
38- They would hide their relationship from Jax to avoid getting teased and stuff
39- Gangle would be such an idiot around them when she first realized she liked them cuz she was nervous
40- zooble thought it was cute and silly when she did
41- Its true love you can't deny we all saw the look in their eyes when talking about Gangle and also the way they glanced at her while saying they aren't straight?! Why would they look at her while talking about their gayness IF THEY DIDNT LIKE HER?! @starspangledbatter Im pretty sure is the one who pointed that out <3
42- We might get more abstragedy crumbs as the show progresses hopefully
43- They've been in the same shot like 3 whole times :0
44- Ignore the fact they called her an idiot that's irrelevant
45- Wait imagine them calling her an idiot in an endearing way :0
46- I'm literally listening to an abstragedy playlist rn its just in my blood to love abstragedy (I do have to admit, in the first month I didn't ship abstragedy... I shipped ribbun..... BUT WE DONT TALK ABOUT THAT ANYMORE!!! IT WAS A PHASE!!)
47- I headcanon gangle going to zoobles room in the middle of the night when she can't sleep <3
48- Gangle would be a listener when she needs to be
49- Zooble would help her get out of bad situations
50- She would hug them like a snake
51- They would constantly glance at eachother then look away really fast before they started dating probably
Anywayssss this took way too long- But heres 50 abstragedy stuff!!!!

Let's all spiral together!
Q. No title yet for Ep 2! Oh my god it's just sounding more and more likely and I am so afraid to believe it because they've teased it for literal years and we're still not there!
Q. They could still tease it and just not do it and say it's not queer baiting because they they gave us bi Buck.
Q. Why doesn't episode 2 have a title?! What do we think? đđ
A. I bunched these asks together because they're a good combination of what my ask box currently looks like, minus the questions I'm ignoring, and because I can answer all of this in one post. I'm going to tackle the queer bait question first. Yes the show gave us bi Buck so using Buck to tease a possible storyline would technically give them an out on the queer baiting accusation. But they aren't using Oliver/Buck for any of the teasing. They're using Ryan/Eddie. The entire off season promotion has been Ryan/Eddie centric. The early bts antics have been Ryan/mustache centric. They are playing it up. The one official filming post was Oliver/Ryan. Now technically they haven't outright said the words queer, gay or Buddie (though basically confirming they've tried to make Eddie canon queer for several seasons is as close as you can get. So they're already towing the line), but they have heavily insinuated them since the beginning of last season. Much more so than they ever have. Not doing it would 100% be queer baiting at this point. The show is out of leeway where this storyline is concerned. They aren't going to get a pass anymore from the audience or the media who cover the show, the media part of it has already begun. We started seeing legitimate articles pointing out the Buddie of it all during the off-season, and that continued yesterday with the two jurnos who wrote about the Buddie shift. The show is out of time. Anything else will be detrimental to them at this point because people will absolutely walk away. They're out of excuses. They're out of 'next season'.
Episode 2 not having a title, or not releasing the title yet either means the title is a spoiler of some kind, but unless it's called Buddie Begins it can't spoil too much, or it's an indication of it being a significant episode. I would imagine it's the second option. If someone whose memory is better than mine can confirm when we got the episode title for 7x4 I would appreciate it because I don't recall getting that title that far in advance either. I would imagine it's an Eddie begins again type episode. It's also probably the alternate reality episode, if that is indeed what they're doing. The 3rd episode being titled 'There's No Place Like Home' is also a pretty good indicator that the previous episode could be an alternate reality. I'm super curious about what they'll go with title wise. Will it be another play on words like 'Eddie, Exhausted and Escaping' or something else like 'Escape from Reality' which would be a nod to the Freddie Mercury Bohemian Rhapsody thing they've been playing with. The writers and director are Buddie people though that was immediately noticeable. Whatever good Buddie scene you can think of there's more than a good chance that that particular writer and director were involved. Everything is setting up.
Oh, I'm already down deep into the spiral Nonny. :)
I love all the content we're getting. This hiatus is so much more fun now. :)
Is Buddie queer baiting? In my eyes? Right now? No, not at all. But they do need to proceed with caution.
In fact, in the beginning of last season I would have said 'No, it's only ship baiting', because neither of them were out of the closet. But now that they've continued the same kind of promo for season 8, even though Buck is in a relationship with another man? The way they are consciously hyping up the Buddie of it all? The way they keep implying and playing into the fact that Eddie might not be as straight as he himself thought he was?
Yeah, they're not there yet, but they're definitely toeing that line and they need to be really careful with how they proceed.
I remember saying to someone last season, right before 7b started again, that the show had to either 'shit or get off the pot'. They could have done that in 7b. But now that moment has passed. There is no more getting off the pot. They need to... well, you catch my drift right? ;)
I'm so curious about that episode 2 title and the Wizard of Oz reference in episode 3. We all know how much Tim loves old classic movies.
So many questions, so few answers. The time is right to create some beautiful theories and speculate about those episodes. Fun times ahead!

Lady Whistledown here. I'm laughing that stuck, but I will take it. Literally, no one important just ended up there. The readers' digest version for those who didn't see the original goes like this.
In the beginning, it was all fun, and games and delusions of grandeur were written till E6, really.
That's when the Buck Tommy kind of flat lined, and what was shown was meh. Then they were desperately praying there would be on on screen pledge of commitment to shut us up before the season ended. Never happened. Pretty much all of the speculation came from paying for Lous Cameos. They built stories around them. Heavily used his cameo wearing the medal when he said they were "thriving." We all know they literally had one scene after that. Then Lou had to shut down his account, and now they were in a drought.
So they moved along into speculation territory for weeks until Oliver's live. Before then, we received their ire. We were bullies and harassing Lou ext. In the live, he basically grimaced and ignored the Buck Tommy question and smiled and blushed at Buddie. Have to remember with, in the same time frame, we had Ryan basically say so you know Buck and Eddie during an interview non 911 related, but also the old Lou interview started circulating again. The one where he basically says they called me last minute to kiss one of them and that he was basically called in to work out Bucks kinks as a starter relationship.
Clearly, this caused panic in the BT PR room!!
But it was weird because after Oliver's recent life, that's when they turned on him. Because now they had to confront why he had never posted about Tommy, followed Lou and only posted Eddie. I have seen that happen in other fandoms, but it's usually by main characters. Not a random side character. So my point is if Oliver continues as is, BTS starts popping up no Lou, Ryan, and Oliver promo. They are turning on Oliver if he doesn't promote BT. They already did and that was just the first trial by fire.
Since then, though, like any good conspiracy type behavior, it's like they forgot they were mad and never mentioned Oliver's expressions during it. Or the fact he seems to not care about the pairing.
They are back in delusional land. Some delusions include.... It's good Chris will be gone because it provides space for Buck to detach from Eddie, and we get more Tommy. Tommy will be more main character LI and involved with the team. Huge chance Tommy finally comes clean to Buck he was into Eddie before, and Buck being so loving invites Eddie to join them. Eddie secretly pines for Tommy. Tommy taking over father roles for both Eddie and Buck because clearly they need his help. Also sexual fantasies clearly written by straight people.
But mark my words... If it keeps going with no sign of Lou, Tommy, or Oliver acknowledging BT, it will because of us and Oliver. If that happens, I will, of course, message you.
And if people really want to know I am happy to always report back the gossip...
But if that was long winded as hell and you skipped to the bottom.. Yes, they turned on Oliver (behind closed doors) because his live was the first chance since the cameos to get anything. And he said let them eat cake....
Hello, my love đ©·đ©·đ©·
Wait wait wait wait you're telling me that after the hospital kiss when there were harassing everyone about how bt is now endgame, they were panicking about the way the relationship was portrayed? And that they realize the relationship was not defined on screen? Are you fucking with me? This is........ Okay, but seriously, do they realize how cameo works or do they think Lou was just saying those things because he felt like it? When you pay for those videos, you send him a message that prompts him. He was saying what they paid him to say. I'm...... I'm glad to know they are also unhappy with the way the relationship has been treated, I feel vindicated.
Also the way they also agree Tommy looked more interested in Eddie and are creating their own delusions on top of Eddie pining for Tommy? I don't even want to think about Tommy being a better parent, that one just makes me want to pick a fight. Interesting to know they are having the three-way fantasies in private while completely turning on Eddie out here.
Honestly, the chaos that will happen once filming starts is not something I'm looking forward to, because there won't be the level of content they want and that will 10000000% make them more feral. Especially considering the way Oliver is on our side, and even with bt on the making the promotion of s7 leaned HEAVILY on Oliver and Ryan together. And it worked. So it will probably happen again. And given how small Tommy's role was in the back half of the season, him not being around all that much is the more plausible scenario. And well, publicly turning on Oliver is not gonna get the reaction they think it will, so that's gonna be interesting for sure.
Please come back any time there's an update you feel is worth sharing, I'm loving having the inside view kapakapalapakpas

Saw your post about the Doctor's outfits this series and yeah! It's fun to have him change every now and then but every episode is way too much. The Doctor always has An Outfit that's their signature look and it feels so odd not having that immediate recognisable signature. It's such a Thing that we've had scenes of quite a few Doctors picking their outfit post-regeneration.
Even if we look at someone like 12 who changed fits pretty frequently there were always core design elements that remained consistent across the board, so it felt like a cohesive look. His silhouette was basically always the same even when there was a change.
Besides, the Doctor's always been kind of out of place and larger than life so having one outfit sets them apart from everyone around them. As well as being a very good way of distinguishing between each incarnation and giving them a unique identity. Especially as the outfits themselves often give some indication of the kind of Doctor this particular regeneration will be.
Weirdly I think the outfit thing felt most glaring this most recent episode because the Doctor wasn't in it much. We got a whole wardrobe change just for that? I also feel like Ruby has carried over consistent design elements between costumes more than he has...
youâve literally summed up my thoughts perfectly!
each doctor had a look that stayed somewhat consistent through their run. they had changes throughout their run but it still harked back to their initial fit.
they only introduced a second reoccurring costume for tennantâs doctor during season 3 and even that was just a colour change of the suit, tie and converse. itâs still identifiable as the tenth doctor. even during the 60th anniversary, tennantâs costuming was still very much in line with what ten wore.
with smithâs doctor, they only changed up his costume after the ponds left in season 7. but even then it still has the core elements that defined his costume (and era). they kept the bow tie, kept similar material for the jacket and kept similar boots. it is the same costume just spruced up a bit.
then you have capaldi. they kept a similar colour scheme amongst his different wardrobe changes and kept the silhouette of his jacket the same.
now if we take a look at the different costume changes that gatwa has had over SIX episodes. thereâs been no real constancy (there was an attempt with church on ruby road and space babies that hasnât followed through with the rest of the season). the costume change makes somewhat sense during devilâs chord (if you ignore the fact that the previous two outfits had sixties influences and wouldâve made sense in that era). but i just donât get why had to deviate with entirely different costuming for boom, 73 yards and dot&bubble. especially when the costume that his earlier promo photos had were so cool (the leather coat and striped shirt) and they couldâve had the blue shirt that was worn in space babies as an alternate costume.
i just donât know why theyâve decided to go down this route since the doctor has always had a defining look that has followed through their seasons. whittakerâs doctor has such little variation in her costuming (which for all the complaining people had was very much a doctor outfit).
and youâre bang on with ruby having a more defining look than the doctor which is an interesting choice that rtd has made. especially as this season only has 8 episodes and we have at least one more outfit change ahead with the regency episode. i just hope they pin down a look for the doctor next season.
#this may be nitpicking but it feels like RTD is changing a lot of core elements of the show (costuming regeneration making it more fan#fantasy)#anti rtd#rtd critical#dw negativity#dw criticism#thank you for the ask!#anon#asks

All the Twitter drama between BuckTommy and Buddies shippers today is exactly as I said it was. Over confident fans vs scared fans, only now itâs been fueled by a video in which a likable actor is being paid by both the network and fans to say he supports his character and the relationship his character is in.
I canât even fault Lou, because heâs a working actor (I donât know his income despite who his father is), so I donât think heâs automatically in the wrong for being paid to tell his fans/shippers what they want to hear. The problem is BuckTommy shippers taking what is a specifically paid viewpoint and using it as ship war fuel. Oliver is pro Buddie and people use that to their advantage, but Oliver has been vocal about being okay with Buck and Eddie dating for years and he doesnât get paid by fans to say so. At the same time though, there also never been another ship with his character and a man for him to discuss outside of Buddie.
Which is why Iâm not understanding the pedestal BuckTommy fans have put Lou on, nor why theyâre ignoring the fact that Oliver hasnât exactly said heâs in favor of BuckTommy lasting the remainder of the series. Heâs been very open ended about it, which is fine, and I donât think heâd be disappointed if that is what happens. But he also did just post about Buddie, and his interviews lately have continued to be about him saying heâs open to Buddie if it happens, as opposed to him saying something to focus on BuckTommy or how he hopes they will flesh out that relationship for a while.
Which again, I would imagine he does think. I genuinely believe Oliver cares about Buckâs journey as a bisexual man and wants to see that play out in the best way possible, but it does currently seem like heâs more inclined to Buddie than BuckTommy. Which is not a good or bad thing for either side. Itâs an objective observation.
So I guess my reason for writing this post, is just⊠why are BuckTommy fans putting more weight on how a guest star whose entire storyline will likely only ever focus on his sexuality and relationship with a man, than a lead actor who wants his character to explore his sexuality and is very vocal about being open to that exploration being with someone other than Tommy?
Because as soon as Buck and Tommy kissed, people began pushing Eddie and everything he means to Buck to the side. And now, the more we get to know Lou and the more he interacts with fans, the more those same shippers are pushing Oliver and everything he says and has said about Buddie, to the side. So itâs as if itâs not enough for BuckTommy to simply be canon. Because they are and at the end of the day, that trumps any other ship Buck could have in the future. Right now heâs with Tommy, period, but thatâs not enough, I guess?
Yâall seem to want BuckTommy and confirmation that Buddie will never happen, but why? Buddie is a ship idea that has existed since season two. It is a ship that not only the fans like, but that the actors and show runner enjoy. It is a ship that if the opportunity presents itself, all the people who can make it happen, plan to make happen. That doesnât mean it has to become canon, but paying an actor portraying a character of half the ship you prefer to say positive things about the ship, is not a gotcha.
Lou is being paid on and off screen to support Tommy, so why wouldnât he do that? It is also good promo for the characters and the show, and there is no reason for him to not ship BuckTommy, seeing as their relationship is currently doing well. And I know fandom is going to fandom, but there is literally no reason for BuckTommys to be combative. The ship is canon, thatâs a fact. Yes, itâs also a fact that Tommy was shitty in his past and that there is no solid foundation for him and Buck as a couple, but that can change come s8.
There is nothing but sunny skies in the BuckTommy forecast, so why are yâall searching for storm clouds? Buddie shippers are being insecure and crappy, but BuckTommy shippers arenât innocent. Yâall are literally paying Lou to give you gas for the fire, then acting as if Buddie shippers are being rude for no reason. Letâs dial it back and remember this is a tv show, and Buck may not end up with neither Eddie nor Tommy.

Adan Botello | He/him | @rainecloud020604
Adan is a highschooler who is just looking to pass class, go home and play Minecraft. He doesn't want to be unique or special any more than he is, maybe being a Minecraft YouTuber would be awesome but that's all he wants out of life. No matter what is thrown at him he tends to run away from it, like a fantasy world trying to claim he's a prince, he wants nothing to do with it. He just wants to be a normal kid, graduate high school and play Minecraft. He's also got transgender and autistic swag

Wally Rosette | He/him | @hershelchocolateart
Wally Rosette is a 15-year-old kid who was chosen (and then kidnapped) to attend the Elite Villainous International Learning facility. This position, however, is solely because his parents were world-famous villains. Wally himself has no interest in the business, and is often described as the sweetest person any of the cast has ever met. He spends most of his time in the background, helping out faculty and students with their homework or various tasks, and only ever becoming relevant when homework *is* the plot of the week. Wally is just a kind kid who knows better than to get involved in the plot and loves his friends so so so so so so so fucking much it's unreal

Tulip | It/Its | @joyfulness03
-Literally just a little tulip mouse -Caught in the middle of a monster war, but is entirely oblivious to anything happening (not privy to The Horrors, because it is literally just a mouse) -Day plans: curling up in the sun to photosynthesize. it is fully booked, indefinitely -The most neutral of neutral parties (group pet) and the most background of background characters (group pet) -very friendly to everyone that pets it and gives its treats. it only bites a little bit, just little love nibbles. Average rodent behavior but with slightly sharper, plantier teeth
~
Full images and descriptions under the cut!
Despite the fact all he desires to be is just some guy the universe keeps trying to make him more than some guy. He's supposed to be a hero, a prince, but he keeps running from the idea of it so much he ends up in another world entirely and all he wants is to go home and be normal, all he wants! He's not looking to save his sister, she can save herself she's strong. He just wants to go home :( that's all he really wants in life and he's getting really tired of the universe saying otherwise
THIS IS MY VERY FAVORITE BABY BOY So Wally is a sweet kid, but because his parents were world-famous, he never really got a choice in who they raised him to be. This resulted in him having a BUNCH of self-worth issues that he tries to deal with on the side because he doesn't want to get his friends involved. He has two (2) major points in the plot (OUT OF 40 CHAPTERS)- one plot point where he ignores the main antagonist to get a boyfriend instead, and one where his entire arc finally culminates in "Wally Learns How To Say No To People." Outside of that, he does NOTHING regarding the main plot and is a C plot character at best. He is simply involved and there in the background because I love him so much and he is my precious little baby boy and yeah sure maybe I loved him so much I made 27 alternate universe versions of him that all have plot relevance in all my stuff but *this* wally is simply a boy and he is blue and he is lovely and I would kill and cry for him every day

Sorry for this useless post, I know you've talked about this a thousand times on your blog already, but I can't stress enough just how much I despise Jikookers.
That 'not-goldy' blog is literally talking about how they don't blame ot7s for staying far away from Jimin because Jimin's fans are toxic. What kind of supposed ARMY says something like that? So they're just going to pretend Jimin's stans are just attacking people unprovoked? They're just going to pretend the reason they're like this isn't retaliation for the way ot7s have been treating Jimin for years? And PJMs are somehow the worst of all solo stans for simply defending Jimin? The recent issue with the RIAJ certification and Hybe sharing articles labeling JK as the first to go platinum when JM is the first didn't even move them? Wow.
And someone compared JK's support for Eunwoo with his "support" for JM (I don't even know why anti-jikookers/non-shippers keep sending those people asks. It's hopeless) and this not-goldy person literally said JK is a sold out king and people are dying to have him promote their work. What!? They're literally implying that JK's Lives helped JM's career and gave him more exposure - I wouldn't be surprised if they wholeheartedly believe that JM's huge success and longevity on the charts is all thanks to JK. These people are really content in ignoring the fact that JM is objectively the most popular BTS member outside of the ARMY Fandom.
And it's crazy that not a single Jikooker commented on their posts to disagree with them. They are really never beating the allegations that they don't care about JM and only use him as a tool for their shipping fantasies.
I'm not going to check the blog because I don't want to lose braincells but I'll take your word for it.
Someone tell her Eunwoo is just as famous or probably even MORE famous than JK in south korea đđđ
Well, most of them never implied it - they outright said a lot of times that he was promoting Jimin and doing for him what the company didn't do. They were saying it even after seven and seeing the difference in treatment. Sometimes I do wonder if they even see it because they seem to be interested only in the interactions and the ship moments. It's not like they really care about anything else.
Promotion is introducing your work to a new audience. Jungkook went live for the same friendless, touch-starved public he goes live for every day; the people watching him that time were the same that wanted Jimin to get hate crimed in the military two weeks ago. Fantastic promo job, indeed. Hope he's collected his nobel peace prize.
A few days ago I suddenly remembered the name of a jikooker whose posts I hadn't come across in a while, so I looked it up and her whole blog is Jungkook. Literally. There's nothing about Jimin. Right after I saw that, Jimin and Jungkook went to Japan and I thought "now she's going to acknowledge Jimin exists". I went to her blog again and lo and behold... a jikook post after months of her not posting anything about Jimin. Not even This is Jimin. That's how all the jikook accounts that get the most interactions are here in tumblr.
Most Jimin biased people at least admit that they care more about Jimin, and that they might have some soft spot or affection for Jungkook. But others act like they really respect and like both in the same capacity when you can tell that's not true. Then they'll try to police others on how to be a fan when they're hypocrites themselves.
"not a single Jikooker commented on their posts to disagree with them. They are really never beating the allegations that they don't care about JM and only use him as a tool for their shipping fantasies."
Exactly. That's why they never cared about the favoritism because they actually, geniunely think Jungkook is better and more deserving. To them, the favoritism was just status quo because to them, Jimin is less than Jungkook as an artist and at times, even as a person. That's why they never said anything, pretend they're not seeing the lies, the mediaplay, the manipulation and all the lenghts they went and are going for him to get stuff Jimin got with the bare minimum and without his fans thinking about records.

Thoughts on this but it's giving major gaslighting where army chants this to make them feel better and project the solos are bad narrative, like don't get me wrong but I would rather associate myself with pjms instead of army like those jm solos were not joking like they managed to close that big of a gap in a small time and still keeps his music charting with no other support either from the fandom or the company...

Hi anon,
I have thoughts on this. I had seen bits of it before but watching it all makes it so much worse. It's garbage.
This person made a whole video to gaslight people into thinking that what happened to Jimin and others is normal. She blames it on the target audience and the type of promotion.
According to her, the only problem that Jimin had was not paying for radio...which is illegal and not something BTS would do. She never talked about the things that happened to Jimin's album like separating the 2 versions of Like Crazy, Hanteo deletions, albums not being shipped on time, etc.
But she did say that Jimin had to have 9 days of promo because Suga needed to enlist...but it took him 6 months?
There is no sabotage, no shady practices, no unfairness, no payola. Just a different intended audience and that's why things didn't work out.
She never focused on the fact that ONE member is receiving much more support than the other six. Jk and Yoongi are probably her biases. They have gotten things served in a golden platter.
She sounds a whole lot like the people who come to my blog to rant about me hating BTS, that I'm a Jk anti, Jimin akgae, etc, and that solos will never win over army and all that purple goodness. Army garbage.
I'm with you. Although I'm not a fan of labels, I have no problem being called a pjm because that is literally a "fan of Jimin". It's what I am. I have no problem doing what pjm fanbases say because it's better than what army is doing.
Solos are not the bad people. Akgaes are. But like I said back when I first opened this blog, the lines have blurred and people can no longer recognize between the two words and use them interchangeably.
If you are a fan of labels, you should remember this: solo =/= akgae.
Solo is a fan who focuses entirely on their bias.
Akgae is a problematic fan who focuses on their bias and HATES everyone else.
There is nothing wrong with focusing on just what you like. Its normal human behavior. The mentality that you have to like everything and everyone is flawed and impossible.
Army keeps painting pjms as the bad people because army has a problem with Jimin. Even here on tumblr, I'm called a solo and akgae because I obviously bias Jimin when there are other accounts that have a very obvious bias and they don't get called out. Because only Jimin biased people are problematic to army.
Army is simply not appreciative of Jimin enough for me. They ignore him. They allow him to be the reason for jokes and disgusting accusations. They sexualize him. They don't stop the hateful poison from tkkrs and other solos. They use him as a cheerleader and accessory. They blame him. They view him as weak and he is only useful to them when fighting other fandoms.
They bully their own member. They rather have anyone else other than Jimin.
Why in the world would any Jimin fan want to associate with them?
Like you said, the moment Jimin fanbases got organized, we started closing the gap. It WILL get done and he WILL get that award.
It won't be because of army. It will be because of pjms, primarily, and other Jimin fans.
But when he gets that award, everyone will be posting pretty Jimin and how proud they are to be his fan.
This fandom is a joke.
Thank you for sharing.

Marte, there was an ask at Ginaâs about h*livia - how Hâs whole team turned into her biggest fans, his mom liking her posts weeks after bua etc. But this fact what Gina said is probably the worst for me: ââŠI really will never forgive Ol**ivia for being such a narcissistic demon that she threw away her family, ignored her film, tried to damage Flo's reputation, hurt Harry's image (although he's to blame there, too), overshadowed the respect My Policeman deserved (again, Harry was a part of that, too)âŠâ. I joined the fandom in late summer 2022 but that woman made me feel weird without even knowing what she had actually done to her own movie and H. I still very clearly remember how madly angry H made me feel during that short period when DWD promo was on peak (August 2022 - October 2022) because he hadnât done literally anything so save himself a bit. The only exception was his chaotic behaviour in Venice and totally ignoring her on the red carpet so it felt like little victory but then buried it all with that (yet another) awful pda with her when that movie went to theaters - in that moment I literally had to step away from him because I couldnât stand seeing his face, I felt betrayed when few weeks before I saw him at TIFF premiere when he looked so comfortable and happy being surounded by other queer people who see him who he really is to kissing that awful woman once again.
Do you think H at least for himself aknowledged his ignorance behaviour? Aknowledge how much he hurt himself (and probably Louis as well)? That his stunt deal and the whole mess around it actually hurt not only him, his fans but also people involved (Flo)? Do you think when he looks back to that period of life, heâs disappointed (just like us) that his very loud gay role was totally overshadowed by pure tabloid gossips, the mess that wasnât created by him but the fact he put his head into the sand pretending like nothing is happening didnât help at all? And his whole team and their blind adoration for that woman, do you think heâs also not proud of it because it was obviously a really hard period for him.
Hi, anon!
I think i see things a bit differently. I think DWD was a trade off for H to be allowed to do MP. I think H was only hired for DWD for his star power and willingness to stunt with O. So for H, who so badly wanted to do MP, to be able to act out who he is and show that to the world, i think he was more willing than before to play the part with O. I don't think H's team or family are bffs with O. They were just playing their part in supporting and legitimising the relationship, and helping H with taking some of that pressure off him. Just like Louis' sister "helps" him with bg.
I don't think H or his team were prepared for the shit show that O brought, and they pulled the plug as soon as they could. Harry stayed quiet and didnât pick sides, which was the right decision. I don't think he put his head in the sand, i think his hands were tied. He had a contract and appearances to attend with her. The Venice mess was his own form of protest against the movie. It was all he could do to communicate that he didnât want this.
I think H and L support each other and talk about things like this before it happens. No one is hurting anybody. They know it's a stunt. They've been doing this for over a decade.
I think Harry's image took a hit during that time, and despite getting loads of attention and press for it, he had to use some time to do image rehab after and distance himself a bit from Hollywood. I don't know if he still thinks the trade off was worth it in the end, but i think he might still do.

i just flicked through my cousins avatar legacy book and ??? the SUKI ERASURE???? i know iâm like 9 years late here but wtf??? aang saying sukka âWERE a great teamâ sokka forgetting or probably just embellishing to make him look good and thus diminishing suki saving him and toph??? NO âAUNT SUKIâ????
weâre they just purposely keeping them vague or is this some book that bryke have little to no attention to
post-canon suki :( where is she :(
the fact all we have about her is that one time bryke were like âoh yeah she and sokka moved to the suburbsâ WHAT??? HELLO WDYM?? WHERE? WHEN? DID THEY STAY TOGETHER? DID THEY HAVE KIDS? I NEED TO KNOWMOREEEE
ok but for real tho itâs so sad how often suki gets forgotten or completely ignored. in promo (ahem that one adult gaang promo pic??? WHERE WAS SHE???), in random posts on the atla social media pages, in actual content like the avatar legacy book, in peopleâs fanart, so on and so forth.
she was so important in the original series. how can you forget her? if u remember to add zuko to your gaang art, u goddamn better remember to add suki.
âno aunt sukiâ omg iâm screaming and sobbing.
also wtf WAS up with the âwere a great teamâ ???? WERE? ARE THEY NOT STILL??? donât say that shit man. give us a solo comic on adult sokka and suki instead. give us a MOVIE about them. idc they could just give us one sketch posted by some official storyboard artist⊠give us literally ANYTHING to confirm they are ok and did end up together forever and ever.
i think in the case of avatar legacy (which i havenât actually read lol iâve only looked at a few pages - including the suki one) they were trying to focus on aang and tenzin rather than filling in the gaps between atla and lok. which SUCKS bc all they had to do was add one more sentence with info about suki and sokkaâs adult lives and everything wouldâve been so perfect.
but oh well. iâm hoping the adult gaang movie fills in some more gaps. iâm hoping we get a better look at that movie as well some time soon so we can ACTUALLY SEE SUKI.
i hope this was the response u were looking for anon lol đ«¶
#ask#atla#suki#my baby girl#i need more official info and art of her#we peaked w suki alone#since then iâve been starved.#suki i love u and i miss u every day#analysis#kinda

I know you have always said that you donât like negativity in your blog but everything that is going on with MA and the movie is pissing me off and I just went back today to check on my guys đ© but all these solo fans Iâm sick and tired of them. I know Apoâs way of dealing with all of the negativity is to ignore it but like itâs coming to the point that these loud and very wrong mfs are burning bridges between MA and people in the industry. Like the artist that worked on the poster and ads, (I saw a Thai fan say he is super popular to work with and that so many non fans were getting interested in seeing the movie bc of him and these dumbass solo fans started to bash him and he had to apologize for not doing a good job. Like do these idiots not think ! If they keep this they are just sabotaging opportunities for their fave ) idk MA donât owe us any explanations on their work stuff bc if everyone else would have common sense and job nobody would have time to be crying for any minimal stuff happening, but at this point if BOC can literally block the negative comments and maybe release a statement with both MA maybe their solo stans can get lost ? Idk like I really want these losers away from MA I can only imagine how they are going to act when their series is going to be released I donât even want to think about the fact that if they are not a couple in that series itâs going to another headache comingâŠthis is so fkn tiring like all these freaks need to go out and touch some grass bc the only real enemy their faves have at this point is their fans (them )
I had to rant to someone, itâs ok if you donât post it I just needed to let it out. đ
no, i'm tired of this too. if it's just fans causing drama amongst themselves, I can ignore it, but this is actively interfering with Man Suang promo now, and harassing media outlets and sponsors in a way that will make them not want to support Apo/Man Suang. How can you call yourself a fan and disrespect him like this? with "fans" like this, who needs antis đ

Umm....Okayyy...
Why do you object to this and why is it âworseâ than MLK (both instances were horrifying...)? It actually sorta explains why they chose 1955 versus 1953.....
Is it because, LBR, you hate black people being focused on? And I do say this while thinking it IS kinda icky that Slizzyâs involved, but there it is....
No, it isnât kettle-bullshit, but thanks for confirming yourself as a Cole-hater, too...
And, LBR, what Racist is REALLY pressed about here? That it turns out Tabiâs gonna have moar screen time. (and, again, stuff about black people).
OML....yes, Racist, reddit is such a reliable source....especially when itâs all, already been entirely disproven. Plus Cole and PP havenât had many scenes together (and lots of those were split screen!) for over 2 years, dumbasses....and itâs WHY they cast a new LI for Jughead.....
Also, heâs the fucking NARRATOR and remains their biggest draw....so, nooo....but there wasnât gonna be moar jizzy again, anyway....
Additionally,
A) cuz, yeah, Izzy, youâre ALWAYS right.....
B) he also is entitled, by contract and his civil rights to a harassment-free workplace, so, again, your argument is shit.
I mean, see above, you ignorant piece of trash. Plus, again, youâve been wrong about everything now for over two seasons.
Ummm....dude, bullshit, youâve been insisting youâd be getting everything you ever wanted, wrapped in a big fat bow, for the past two seasons. Additionally, OFC, why do you even want this? You hate Cole and have opted to make that crystal clear (and then some), so why do you want this? You donât even like Jughead.
Is it cuz black lady and you hate Barfies? Cuz thatâs all Iâve got....
Iâm also laughing because while, yes, it IS possible thereâs jizzy endgame in the last 2 minutes of the show, essentially offscreen, to boot....even that is looking increasingly unlike. And time was, you insisted that would be the worst ever.
Now sad crumbs at the end would be enough? Ummm....okayyyy....
Oh good lord.....while, yes, itâs clearly show promo (cuz duh), no it wasnât âCole ignoring his Pee Arr teamâ.....cuz why TF would he? Especially to do something kinda uncomfortable for himself, that he didnât have to do?
OML.....where to even fucking start?
Ummm.....no, the writers donât care what the actors want, now or ever....they also DGAF what YOU want....
Meanwhile, ummm....if the network didnât want a full final season, they wouldnât have ordered one. From BERLANTI....who would be the entity negotiating this (and seemed fine with their much moar popular show, The Flash, getting a much shorter final season)....and literally, again, every show on the CW is looking at the ax soon enough, because the entire network is essentially no moar/soon to be no moar....
And no, while the network retains final approval, it does NOT work that way, either....plus, again, there are other networks, etc....this anonâs ignorance is just utterly and spectacularly breathtaking.
Additionally, again.....Netflix pays for the show, theyâre fine with it, etc....
And I thought RAS was gonna save the show from Babyman???
Errmm.....I think, again, the cast cares about working in a hostile environment/getting to sexually harass their targets. A LOT....and maybe peeps think that cuz itâs what the cast endlessly pretends?
Again....nope. Paley was fine, had the same attendance (a bit better, in fact) than other shows. Also, if itâs such lost shit, why are YOU here talking about it?
I always love your endless doom and gloom scenarios, as well....plus, my recent (and still not quite resolved) provider switching gives me some further insight, here:
Itâs actually kinda a big pain in the ass now to watch the CW live....
USGOTV (or USTVNOW, whichever one is free) has shut down.....the other one wants $29 per month to have access to the CWâs live east coast stream...
Nobody wants to pay for DirecTV (stream) or Hughesnet, YoutubeTV (which Iâll be cancelling post free trial, for this express reason) doesnât have agreements in all (or many) markets for live CW---so youâre stuck simply streaming the app the next day....which you can do for free, anyway. But doesnât track for live ratings.
Iâll personally be switching to HuluLive, but they REALLY limit how many screens and locations you can watch from....
The other option I could gather is going waaayyyyy old skool and putting in an antenna (who knew?), but not really so wanting to do so...
(she has many other posts, but I shall pause with this for the moment....)

Some of you still clearly see that JMs sabotage was blatant yet at the same time are all reblogging that person saying he wasnât and that we are making things up⊠you were all seeing the blatant sabotage jm and the others went through yet the moment this one person writes a long pro company post suddenly you all agree and suddenly Scooter isnt the bad guy even though most of us have seen the horrible things he has done to others ⊠one person writes a rambling post as if they work for hybe when they dont and suddenly you all just go along with it? I cant forget all the blood, sweat and tears we went through during those few days of JMs promo where we kept seeing numbers and sales disappear & saw the company do the bare minimum but suddenly one person says we imagined it & everyone goes along with it? I really dont understand why you cant just stand by your beliefs especially when you experienced those differences⊠Im saying this as calmly and nicely as possibleâŠ
Its not even just Jimin⊠If you see the views for the raplines music videos they are always so much lower and I donât understand why? We all claim to be ot7 army yet there are such huge differences in numbers of views and I refuse to believe the vocal line just has that many more solo fans⊠but again bc one post says the company is great and there is no sabotage at all you will all just ignore the obvious and agree with one take ⊠I donât get it at all? They literally know as much as the rest of us so why are people refusing to think for themselves? Amygdala has 9.4 million views after 2 freaking months, Haegum 48million after 2 months, Lilith 14 million and you want to claim all armys are supporting them as well as hybe when Seven has 80 million in 6 days⊠No frozen views for him, no erased views for him like the others but you guys want to believe everyone is being treated the same? This isnt hate on JK doing well but on the companies involved (hybe, spotify, billboard, youtube) and their efforts for some over others. I didnt even use examples from Namjoon and Hobi or even Jimins who stayed frozen or went down for months⊠So are we just making that up bc one person said so ?
Cant forget the fact that Geffen refuses to restock Like Crazy after months of trends and people asking for it but with Seven suddenly they can restock several times while ignoring requests for the others single are we going to make excuses for that too? I dont know if the others are sold out but if they are it wouldnât surprise me if they refuse to restock theirs too. I may not be as eloquent as some of you but Im so annoyed that somehow all these words were able to come out. Also you all should expect more than the bare minimum from a company who missed out on the opportunity to capitalize on Jimin making history bc he wasnât the one they wanted to be first. Open your eyes and see whats been going on instead of praising a company blindly when the reality is 99% of record companies have done some horrible things to their own clients⊠Im so tired of the Hybe and you know who ass kissing just bc some of you want to appear all knowing.People need to look at things and come to their own conclusions instead of blindly following a few peoples opinions that shouldnât be a controversial take at all

just gotta have a lil real dump here for a min.
i donât feel very wanted/needed on this platform anymore. it feels like my ideas and muses have run their course and no one is interested in what i have to offer. conversations to start the most basic and simple plots are often one-sided, ending before they even begin, or just left on read with nothing to ever come of it. i need to discuss plots, characters, etc in order to even have the motivation to be here to write, and iâm not getting much of that anymore (unless i write a specific canon male character on a solo blog, but weâve learned our lesson there). when i started here, regardless of who i was writing (canon or oc) i would always get random questions about my muses in the inbox. just dumb little things that people were interested in â whatâs their shampoo smell like? do they sleep with the closet door open? socks on or off at night? simple things...ya know? that makes such a difference to me, that someone thinks my silly little muse is interesting enough to know some funny little facts about them. now it just feels like people are only in search of a plot device to insert into their story and not the actual character theyâre writing against. i want to know about your muses. i want you to tell me their morning routine, i want to know the dumb little things my muse would know too. i crave the interaction the rpc is no longer giving out freely like it once did. Â
i am slow, and i very much understand that, but the reason i am so slow is because the rpc as a whole is failing. people have decided itâs not worth reaching out anymore because theyâre being ignored, the elitism and cliques are once again getting out of hand with the drama, and itâs just kind of a sad place to be when youâre not in one of those cliques. especially you 30-somethings out here trying to start drama with kids like itâs high school...but thatâs a whole different and very long post for another time. anyway, what used to be an escape to enjoy with people in my hobby is kind of just a depressive place to be now. i donât feel the excitement for my muses, i donât feel like people are here to learn anything about my muses, and iâm very much starting to feel like a pity party. while i am fully away this is also my bad mental health speaking, at the same time itâs also not. Â
edited*  what happened to the support the rpc once had? is it only applicable if you have the correct aesthetics and use the prettiest graphics? i canât use photoshop very well, but i like to think i can write okay, so why do my graphics dictate how you see me as a writer? i donât care if your promo is pretty, i want to support you so iâm going to reblog it. the rpc is not as supportive as it once was and you cannot tell me otherwise. i rarely see promos cross my dash ( mine have less than 10 notes, and itâs me and like one other person most of the time...it literally hurts my feelings to spend time on something that gets completely ignored and i am not sorry about that ), people arenât commenting and communicating as much as they once were, and i think itâs completely skewing the rpc as a whole. the same goes for edits, is it hard to like a post someone spent time on? you can unlike it later if you need to clean your likes, but sometimes people just like to be acknowledged for something theyâre excited about. i have been so excited to post something like an edit or what i thought was interesting about my muse, or just fun that other people might think was cool, to only be met with crickets on the other side. itâs disheartening and not what the rpc is supposed to be about.
iâm complaining to myself as well, because iâve stopped being as interactive with the dash as i once was. but as i said before, after time and time again of being shut out, ignored, and even blocked after speaking to someone...can you really blame people for no longer reaching out?
anyway, sorry if you came in to read this. iâve been very much struggling here, and thought making harley would help, but itâs only further solidified that feeling. iâm really trying to navigate around it, but iâm not even sure where to start with people anymore. like iâm almost afraid to even reblog things from people anymore because theyâre so adamant about reblogging everything from the source, not messaging first, and not even following them first like? isnât that what weâre supposed to be doing here? idk, the rpc has lost its luster and i really miss the community we used to have here.
so anyway...if youâd like to talk about our muses, plots, etc, iâll do my best to ask random questions, send asks, make edits, and all that jazz as long as it isnât one-sided. my ims, ask, and disco are always available though i do miss (or just never get) notifications sometimes so donât hesitate to boop me. iâd just love to find some more writing partners to bounce ideas back and forth with. i have either lost contact with most of mine over the years or they stopped writing all together unfortunately. :/
disco:Â shiny shitbag âš#6427
#( mun shit. )#gotta get the vent out somewhere before i explode#i am just sad with how the rpc has essentially closed itself off#and i've been here for a decade to watch the slow decline into isolation#this was a lot#tbd

^Literally all of this, I feel like a crazy person trying to explain this concept, the answer is always âjust donât break the law then,â from white people because, yeah, as far as theyâre concerned thatâs all they have to do to be safe. And itâs true to some extent, they arenât the targets of police bigotry, but again, any fucking cop who doesnât like you or is having a bad day can just decide to ruin your goddamn life. Police dog praised for finding $20,000 in a womanâs bag in the airport, she wasnât arrested or charged but they kept the money. Man pulled over and his life savings taken, he wasnât arrested or charged but they kept the money. How are you going to prove to a cop that the rent money youâre driving somewhere with (the difference between staying housed or becoming homeless) isnât to go buy black tar heroin? The day before July 4th I went into the living room and my mom had on a marathon of all the Hunger Games movies. It was partway through the first one so I sat down to watch it, Iâd only ever seen the first one, but knew it was a very thinly veiled anti-cop, anti-authoritarian, the-government-hates-poor-people-and-minorities movie so I sat down to watch. Spoilers if you want to watch it, and kinda upsetting subject matter, but just to explain some of the plot points and elements of the world the movie is set in for those who donât know: the cops are literally called âpeace-keepers,â a little black girl is killed and there are riots in the mostly black district she was from, those are viciously and violently suppressed by the peace-keepers. A black man peacefully signals (whistles and holds up his hand) to the main character when she goes to speak to them and doesnât stick to the script she was given, he is dragged on stage in front of everyone and shot in the head. A main character is tied to a pole and whipped repeatedly by a power-hungry âpeace-keeper,â he also hits the main character and only stops because she is a celebrity and heâll get in trouble, but assures her that if she tries anything again he will have her brought before a firing squad and executed. So not exactly subtle, right? But my jaw literally fucking dropped when it cut to commercial and they played the little tie-in to the 4th of July. It was, word for word: âKatniss Everdeen. An American Spirit so strong it survives even in a post-apocalyptic world.â And they played that EVERY TIME it went to commercial, and every time it felt like a punch in the gut. As if this world wasnât based off something, as if this is what would happen if you dropped a âtrue Americanâ into this world that is soo unfamiliar and foreign to what America is actually like, that sheâd single-handedly save everyone and liberate them so they can live in the land of the free and the home of the brave and have access to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They call the world post-apocalyptic for fuckâs sake. Oh wow guys this movieâs world is so scary!! Itâs like the apocalypse happened!! Iâm so glad the world isnât actually like this!! None of this has ever or would ever happen in a country full of Katniss Everdeens like America is!! Americans always stand up to injustice because they love freedom and saving people! Theyâd stop this from happening for sure! : ) And itâs like what the fuck are you talking about. Who wrote that fucking promo and who approved it and who said those words in a recording booth and who edited it all together and why did no one question it. Who are you people. Why am I the crazy one when you freaks are saying the hunger games is what happens when a True American sees injustice in the world. Like goddamn you cannot compare the main character in a world where America doesnât exist as having an âAmerican Spirit,â reacting to this crazy unjust world, but ignore the fact that the entire world IS meant to represent America.
I have a hard time talking about American law enforcement, because I have ptsd (like a therapist told me this and everything) from my own experiences with cops and because it's so balls quaking insane.
Like, a cop in the United States can pull you over for any reason. Which is a nice way of saying no reason, because literally anything can be used after the fact as justification. A cop can say its cuz you looked at him, or didnt look at him, or it looked like you were holding something, or looked like you were driving too perfectly for it to be natural. It's insane.
There are apparently no circumstances where a cop can't just kill you. The line the courts have applied is "reasonably believed" you were a threat, but that's such a nebulous nothing limit that people get shot for reaching for their license, having their phone in their hand, you're running away with no weapon, not being able to follow conflicting commands, like anything. And cops are almost never charged, because every court is going to believe he could "reasonably believe" he was threatened. Fuck, if you give me enough time, I can make any situation seem juuuuust plausibly threatening enough to pass that bar. It's insane.
A cop can just rob you. Like tell you to give him your wallet, take all the cash out, and just walk away with it. Exactly like you would imagine getting robbed in an alley would go, except no one can help. And he doesn't even have to hide it, he just drops it in a box at the station and they put it in their bank account. It's legal. You can't prove it wasn't drug money. I can't prove any money wasn't at some point drug money. It's insane.
If a cop just walks in your front door and says "I'm here to kill you and your entire family" YOU ARE GOING TO PRISON IF YOU STOP HIM. There is no positive defense for assaulting a police officer in the United States, and doubly so if you kill him. You have effectively no defense against a homicidal cop, which happens same as any other job. Unless for some reason you have cameras all thru your house and clearly caught the audio of him saying that he's there just to kill you, you have zero chance of not going to prison, probably for life. And that's assuming you aren't killed "resisting arrest" while being taken into custody. It is a crime, in this country, for you to defend yourself under any circumstances if the person you're defending yourself from is a cop. That's insane.
You don't have civil rights if a cop says so. You have the right to have a gun, right? A lot of states have open carry. A cop can shoot you if he sees you have a gun. Doesn't matter if you have a license and everything. So you effectively don't have the right to bear arms if a cop can shoot you for exercising it. You have the right to protest. Unless a cop tells you to stop. He doesn't need a real reason to tell you to stop. And if you don't stop, you can be arrested or shot. So you don't really have the right to protest, do you? A cop cant just search your car or house, right? Unless he claims he heard something, or smelled something, neither of which can be proven. So a cop can search whatever he wants, as long as he pretends there was a "reason". So you dont have protection from unreasonable search and seizure, do you? These are no longer rights- they're things the cops allow.. for now. But legally, those rights have already been found to not actually be rights, because any random cop can decide to take that right from you, for any reason. It's insane.
These aren't like crazy things that I'm just making up, these aren't some weird twisted way I'm looking at something, these are all very real things that we all just.. ignore? Police abolitionists and the media bring these things up all the time, and the overwhelming response to it is: so what? Don't break the law and it won't matter. Blue lives matter. More police funding. Cops should have tanks. It's insane. And I always feel like im just rambling and sound insane when I say this kind of stuff because if you wrote a book and had the dystopian government doing the stuff that the police in this country do every single day, those same people who "back the blue" would line up to say stuff like "*Books government* wouldnt have a chance before us real americans stopped them" on twitter and not even get a hint of the irony.
