I’m not gonna continue to argue with the person on my post because they seem really set on wholeheartedly believing that YouTuber about the CR gods copyright situation. But I have to get this off my chest:

If the copyright issues around the gods names/personalities were such a mess for LoVM and TCSR, to the point of being worried about any small mistake or slip up or accidental use of a proprietary name that it would compel CR as a company to try to write them out of future Exandria stories…

Why on earth wouldn’t that have been done quietly and unobtrusively instead of spending 3 years in a campaign centered on bringing up the gods every 5 minutes and including playing them as PCs

All these people writing about nervous, easily flustered, damsel-in-distress Ishan simply do not get the appeal of a popular jock, hilarious backbencher, bad boy with a heart of gold Ishan and I pity y'all fr.

A “source” blog that doesn’t reblog or post a canon couple with a large storyline.

Just say you’re a fan blog baby. It’s okay.

I know some people might not like the whole “Sabine training to be a Jedi despite not being super force sensitive” thing but I honestly think it’s really cool. It’s expanding what being a Jedi is, it’s showing they’re more than just space wizards, they’re a religion, a people- being a Jedi isn’t about having powers it’s about your training and how you live your life. I think it’s very cool and I like the idea of nonforce sensitive Jedi

I rarely voice my opinions on stuff like this but I think it’s ridiculous that people fight over a show that hasn’t even aired yet.

I don't know if this is an exclusively me thing, but I don't think I'll ever get over how just, completely pleasant tumblr is. People leave nice comments on my art & I get to see funny tags in my notifications & I get to make more friends & I'm allowed to gush/infodump as much as I want & there's no pressure to keep up with others ... Even with all the janky design, it's a very calm experience.

Okay my personal hypothesis is that they are actually sending Eddie to the spinoff and it will be set up in 8x12 and 8x13. The next two episodes will be the 2 part emergency feat. Tommy and hopefully bucktommy reunion. I do think there's a good chance Ryan will be back for one of the last three episodes because his "goodbye" was kind of lack luster for a main but how they do that I'm not sure.

Someone recognized me as a Dream Stan because of my earnings today in college (they were a Ranboo stan) and maybe the isolation of our fandom might have gotten to me a bit because the little feeling of glee I got from the fact that I have my mark all over this university and can't be pushed out

I think a huge problem I’m seeing in some attempts at meta with C3 is that there is a subset of viewers who do not understand the place, value, and meaning of real world religion. It breeds takes like “well throw the gods out! Who needs them! They caused characters and the world pain! Free Vax from the Raven Queen!”

I throw that last one in there because it is the most ridiculous yet frequent and is really the crux of the issue. Vax’s story is very much about faith and the importance of faith and devotion. If you place no value on that you’ll end up grossly misunderstanding the character and the nature of his tragedy.

I’m going to out myself as an atheist, but I think the issue with a lot of these takes are that they come from internet atheists who are either resentful of and hostile toward religion because of personal experiences or do not know any devout people in their lives who they respect and can empathize with. And while I am not trying to downplay the very real phenomenon of religious trauma, when healing from it it is crucial to realize that all spiritual traditions are not synonymous with the one that harmed you. I would really implore more people to explore why many good people find spiritual traditions and religion to be a source of solace, community, and meaning before writing off the idea wholesale as something only functioning as a means of power and control that people can be educated out of believing. I encourage you to branch out and here are some examples of things I’ve done to challenge my own judgement over the last ten years: read the writings of gay Catholics exploring the queerness of Jesus. Read some beautiful poetry written by a trans man who specializes in Anglican theology. Explore religious observances different from the ones you experienced and attend a Seder. Go if a coworker invites you to a celebration of Ganesh. Learn the significance of solstice celebrations because your coworker is officiating one for a Wiccan event. Break fast at sundown during Ramadan with in solidarity with your roommate.

Deciding that all fictional religion must be an allegory for a specific kind of toxic nationalistic prosperity gospel Christian cult found in America will only limit how you engage with both fiction and the real world. It took me a long time to get to this place about it and I hope I’ve put the spark of curiosity and not judgment into at least one person reading this.

My last two brain cells on Election Day currently be like...

[curetapwater]

I was checked out of the shadamy side of the fandom for the longest time (nothing personal, it's just hard for me to unsee Shadow as gay and Amy as a tween) that I was shocked to learn that stereotypically, Sonic gets treated the way that stereotypical sonadow fans treat Amy. Like!!!! That's the main character???? You don't like him????????

Someone brought up the point of perhaps Tim is back to pandering in order to get support for the spin off. I can for sure see him doing that which is why he doesn’t want to piss them off while still having to keep the canon story going. Also my prediction is that he’ll give characters a similar dynamic to try to attract the buddies but these ones will end up going canon which will ease the pressure off OG.

Hi, Nonnie!

This is an excellent theory! A solid one IMO. I don't know just how effective it will be though, given that a big portion of Bobs hated Tarlos (the little time I spent in the Buddie fandom I remember almost being pressured to sorta dislike them on principle - I never did, but a lot of people did and do), and I can't help but think they would also hate this alternative. Probably asking Tim why and how he can do it in the spin-off, but not in OG. Calling them a cheap knock-out. What they were doing with Tarlos, basically.

But I can see what Tim is doing as pandering to get support for the spin-off, definitely. He for sure does not want to lose audience before the show even premieres and, as it is, it's not like the premise of it is intriguing. I'm sure the GA will overall enjoy it, it is another procedural drama after all, but further than that? I can see how Tim is trying to gather an audience.

My inbox is open for ranting, venting, giving your opinion (unpopular or popular, I'm happy to receive and discuss both), and even confessions! Though if you don't want yours posted, please make sure to say :)

Take care <3

if youre satisfied with this amount of rep i'll be happy for you and if you want vastly more from hoyo especially concerning skin tone i will completely agree with you but if you're non latam/african/indigenous american/pacific islander, i'm side eyeing so hard if you start making excuses for genshin's colorist ass

[dreamwinged]

didn’t think i had to say this again (+ didn’t realize it wasn’t in my pinned anymore to be completely honest) but if ur proship/comship/darkship/neutral/supportive toward that content in any way then do not interact with me thanks!!!!!!

[millybrowm]

apparently people are mad a Chappell Roan for having her aesthetic be heavily influence by drag performers because it’s “capitalizing on queerness” ?!!?!

is lil nas x capitalizing on queerness? is troye sivan? elton john? or is it just the feminine lesbian who uses her aesthetic as an homage (an homage!!!) to drag performers? y’all know anyone can do drag, right? regardless of gender or gender presentation?
