#no hate to the person who runs the blog

[myheadphonesareneverloudenough]

every single person on the danger days confession blog needs to be reminded that this fandom thrives on a fan-created universe, fanworks, and headcanons, and all of that stuff is subjective and at the end of the day, if you see something you dont agree with, you scroll away because there is a safe place for everyone in this fandom.

but if you keep shitting on others for their headcanons and the way they design characters, there isnt gonna be a safe place in this fandom for much longer.

Gyjo in the fandom

cw: light discussion of ableism

Gyjo… what am I thinking about gyjo…

I like them. I like them a lot, actually. They have paralleled narrative arcs, they complement each other nicely, the romantic subtext is incredibly obvious to the point that even the most homophobic fan you know will admit they understand why people ship it… so why do I also have a problem with it?

There’s a lot of good fanart. Hell, I’ve reblogged plenty. Maybe it’s just something that’s more pronounced in fic.

I’m trying to word this correctly. My issue with gyjo has nothing to do with the text itself. I think my problem is just how people portray it in the fandom.

Maybe it’s because it’s so popular, or maybe it’s the sheer prominence of applying ‘Character A’ and ‘Character B’ dynamics without considerable regard for the characters involved, but I feel gyjo is very prone to flanderization. I believe the intersection with how ableist people are toward Johnny (intentionally or not, subtly or not) and the old tropes these two get shoved into makes it so I have trouble enjoying fics in the fandom.

I’m not saying it’s bad to enjoy certain tropes. I’m not saying headcanons are bad either. What I am saying is that writing is hard, but if you’re going to write fanfiction please have consideration for the characters you’re writing. The arcs of these two are complex and multilayered, which is why I think they have such staying power, but I also think they also provide a good opportunity for us as writers and artists to examine our biases when it comes to the portrayal of certain groups, personality types, mental illnesses, queerness, disability, etc. and maybe come out better people for it.

The fucking choking noise I made when I tuned into a podcast for my run and heard a recent favorite actor go, “I’m still on Tumblr, don’t tell anyone.”

[whitegownsandflowercrowns]

At this rate I’m going to become a full Fire & Blood anti.

why are confession blogs not fun anymore

[sapphire-weapon]

Real shit the real reason why I’m so excited by the idea of Separate Ways going beyond the events of RE4′s main campaign and culminating in a boss fight against Wesker is because this is an opportunity to finally decouple Ada’s character from Leon.

There was always so much potential for Ada, but the fact that Capcom has only ever hitched her to the back of Leon’s story wagon and has never let her just be her own goddamn character is probably the biggest disservice that they’ve done not just to any character in the series, but also the series itself.

Imagine a version of Chris’s RE6 campaign where Leon didn’t poke his fucking ass into it and it was just Chris going after Ada until the Carla reveal happened and pulled the rug out from under Chris without Leon softening the blow first. Imagine how much better of a story that would’ve fucking been.

I feel like this is something that Capcom has wanted to do for a while, which is why they put her in Umbrella Chronicles -- which is, to date, the single only title that Ada has ever appeared in without Leon -- but Capcom has also historically been afraid of Upsetting The Fanbase(TM), so they backed off on the idea when the response to her inclusion in UC was lukewarm at best.

The Remake team seems to be willing to take risks, so I hope this is a risk they take. I want to see Ada be her own character doing her own things -- because she has so many things going on that always, always get dropped in favor of more pointless melodrama with Leon.

It’s another huge fucking reason why I hate the ship. He holds her back SO much from a narrative and character advancement perspective. I would probably be much warmer towards the ship if the two of them really were their own separate people living separate lives that sometimes crash into each other unexpectedly -- but that’s not what the ship is. It’s what Capcom, I think, intends for it to be, but that’s not how they write it. Leon is his own independent person doing his own independent thing, but Ada very much is not. Ada does not exist in the story without him with her. And I don’t fuck with that. It makes her less of a character and more of just an extension of Leon, and Ada as a concept should rightfully be so much more than that.

I want the Remake series to branch off into its own separate timeline specifically for this reason. I want new games that have Ada doing things on her own. I want the series to show all of the shit she gets herself involved in and what the consequences are, because she is actually such a huge part of the story and is never allowed to actually be shown that way.

i say this without any animosity, but we might need to have another conversation about sending asks, not on tumblr in general but my blog in particular

[axl-fox]

Porn blogs can follow you they can talk to you throu chat post their phishing links in unrelated tags they can send you asks and now you're telling me THEY CAN REBLOG YOUR STUFF AS WELL???

"SO CLOSE YET SO FAR." "I FOLLOWED HIS STEPS AND TOOK THE PLACE." [ * Their tone slowly changes from the formal to slowly losing patience. ] "I HAD FUN AND THEN I BURNED. I BURNED BRIGHTLY." "NOW I AM TRAPPED IN THE DARK. THE COLD UNFORGIVING DARK." [ * You can barely make out their eyes in the dark. ]

"AND I HAVE WATCHED YOU AS I HAVE WATCHED THEM."

Flowey's eyes grow even wider with fear as he begins to realize the implications of the Survey Taker's words.

But despite the fear, he grins wildly, baring his teeth.

"You've WATCHED me?! HAHAHAHA! So basically you're a lunatic scientist who's been spying on me... and 'them'- ...who?"

"Never mind, I don't care! All that matters is that you know what terrible things I've done, you're just a creepy sicko, aren't you? Always watching 'for science', but never doing anything to stop me!"

"I should just turn you into dust too! Show you what it's like to be on the other side of it!"

River Person was already feeling miserable and guilty, but panics at Flowey's threat, and almost leaves their hiding spot, but stays put when they remember the Doctor's amalgamation abilities.

They clench their fists anxiously, they don't want them or Flowey to get hurt.

Yuri: don't

Mun: ....but-

Yuri: don't bring in the Aperture couple just bc you aren't getting your morally gray doctor fill out of me, you already brought in two other non-TKDBK characters AND run my blog

Mun: ..... they're like a supportive version of Taiga and Romeo that work tho, I WANT! And with Aperture Science being what it is, they can appear anywhere!

Yuri: NO. What would they even do at Darkwick?

Mun: ......teach? They're scientists.

Yuri: NO.

I love the "mature content" filter that allows me to opt in to sexually charged posts. If I'm not in the mood, I keep on scrolling. If I do want to see it, now it's practically gift wrapped! How nice.

HALF WAY POINT OF THE YEAR, oh boy.

May and June went in a blur, I don't recall much to differentiate the different days; I know that I managed to watch seasons 1-5 of Community, read a bunch of fanfics, read actual books, tried to catch up on Doctor Who (I've watched all the specials and the new season before I catch up on the missed set of seasons bc I am chaotic and impatient); let's see, what else,,, still keeping up with the sport racing world & baseball, which both take up quite the chunk of my time, starting to attempt to comeback to my editing account on insta & then also my making stuff on Polarr; alrighty, if I remember anything I'll ramble about it in the tags as always lol – OK BUT OFFICAL COUNTDOWN TO VACATION: T-50 DAYS :D
