#not maintagging but if you wish for others to see I don't mind you doing so

[star---anon]

Ah, might as well put my two cents into this whole shipping aroace Alastor discourse that's rising again. This is my only post addressing it and I will not argue with anyone else who tries to pick a fight in coms or rbs.

This always happens with any confirmed aroace spec character it seems....

Putting a break here so you can just ignore this post or read if you're genuinely interested in my words haha

I think it's very telling that there's a lot of aroace people going "I don't give a shit, ship Alastor to your heart's content" (me included), but I also see other aroace people be extremely aggressively against it while belittling others for shipping Alastor with other characters.

Darling, if every aroace person was coddled like this, they wouldn't learn they're aroace, honestly. I complain about all the hatefucking fics, sure, but I don't actually care that much about it to speak of outside my own things. I do not seek out the content to swarm with hate unlike a lot of people I've seen recently. Honestly, some of them are well written, I appreciate the craft, but I don't really speak up on it. My issue is that there's only that haha I want them to be fluffy sometimes (hence my fic)

And yes, I'm not immune to my own curiosity when it comes to reading smut despite being aroace. I'm allowed to read what I wish, I'm an adult.

Fandom will fandom when it comes to shipping, especially with a fandom that's been around for a long time. Just... Do not play into the stereotypes of our identity? Maybe? Possibly? It's not that hard.

Him being aroace doesn't change the way I write him. And it won't, no matter how many people might be disappointed that I write them all sickeningly sweet with each other. I'm a hopeless romantic that's also partially romance repulsed, I want someone to hold me but also get the fuck away. Writing a fluffy relationship gets that frustration out. Besides, does that not sound like Alastor to you? lmaooo

Eh... That's basically it. I'm going back to writing my Chaggie oneshot. It'll be out soon. They're very important to me.

(bi man anon) thank you for answering! it's horrible that both of us, and certainly many other bi people, have to go through this treatment just to exist in fandom spaces as ourselves.

you certainly did nothing wrong with the azula post. it was properly tagged and didn't cross tag into actual ships. it's just how the biphobes are. when i was younger, i had once tried to run a blog not engaging in discourse but simply supporting headcanons, and i still constantly got hateful messages and threats for going against 'canon' even though they all but had to go out of their way to find my blog, if i remember right i hadn't even maintagged anything. it's long since deleted by now though, and i never saved any receipts, so take it with a grain of salt i suppose. needless to say, i understand your story and i believe you acted rationally. the one who brought it back up after you de-escalated and left the conversation was incredibly childish and seems to be a reoccurring situation in general with this type of thing.

i do wonder how much of it is tied into other discourses, i most frequently see this kind of behavior with antis. i wouldn't be surprised at all if some proshippers did the same. there's a lot to be said in general about exclusionism and the treatment of bi folk (many gay people wish for us to water ourselves down to nothing more than gay and lesbian, just with a different word. seems to lineup a lot with anti-aro/ace and forcing nonbinary people into binaries ie transmasc or transfem, denying the existence of transneutrality and pressuring them into outing themselves, or the usage of amab and afab in casual discussion rather than medical contexts or other cases where it's actually relevant) a lot of it all seems to circle right back into radfem ideology. unfortunately, a prevalent ideology even in fandom spaces.

thank you, again, for sharing one of your stories. i have never harassed anyone either, over anything, much less headcanons. it seems incredibly common that people will take someone disagreeing with their headcanon as a personal attack. you can say you don't mind a lesbian or gay headcanon, but prefer a bi one, and people will still get mad. it's unfortunate. thankfully, we have stubborn bi people who'll hold their ground even through the harassment and poor treatment. i hope you'll hold tight onto your bi azula headcanon, and every other bi headcanon you have. i'll be doing the same for mine.

Hey, nice to hear from you again! I was honestly more than happy to make that post, and I'm especially glad that my experience and the way I handled these things was validated.. I'm always made to feel like I'm doing something wrong by reacting accordingly to the disrespect, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that either.

I really think that you're absolutely right in some of these other points you brought up. Namely it being a common theme in online spaces now that people are just plain immature and rehash arguments for no reason... but also I think you're onto something about this tying into other types of discourse, and certainly aphobia and enbyphobia as well. These types of discrimination (biphobia, aphobia, enbyphobia) are pretty socially acceptable, sadly, even in queer or majority queer fandom spaces... it sucks. And we're not the only ones who've noticed it either.

You're also 100% right about people in general treating disagreement like a personal attack. You say you have a different headcanon and they act like you ran over their dog -__-

Anyways, feel free to send asks any time, I think it's important to talk about this stuff! And I'll be holding onto my bi Azula headcanon as well, they can pry it from my cold dead hands<3

READ ME FIRST

Hiya :)

Welcome to The Universe Said, an interactive fan comic about the various series that Legundo has done. There is an overarching plot that does largely hold base in the function of the 100 days multiverse, however due to a simple unwillingness to horribly mischaracterize any of the characters in these worlds for the sake of plot, be prepared for the use of OC's. Also I got fun with the worldbuilding, it's an incurable disease.

IF you happen to dislike crossovers, OC's having a role in plot, or the mangling of canon, you likely will not enjoy this comic. This means that you have the simple option to instead click off, or block this blog. I won't be mad, I promise!

YOUTUBERS.

Hi! I see you. I know some of you exist on this webbed site. If you see this, interact at your own risk! I mean it. I don't know the extent of which you care for your characters and how they are interpreted and portrayed in media, and I'm warning you now! All of them are likely exaggerated to some extent, either for character conflict, plotline, or for sillies. The above note applies to you too. If you dislike this comic, you are welcome to block the blog as you wish. If there is something that makes you uncomfortable, you are welcome to let me know and I can retcon it as necessary, or again. I will politely point to the block button. My feelings will not be hurt.

Other notes

This is fairly self-indulgent. I like crossovers. I'd very much like to have fun with this, and as such, there will only be so much tolerance for anybody who stumbles across this and decides the correct response is trolling.

Something I'm going to emphasize here is that these are based off of characters played by the youtubers present. If there is no line for me to draw between character and youtuber their presence in this will either be non-existent or minimal.

Also, due to the currently unfinished nature of the 100dmv series, I am running with some of my own theories, but will be doing my best to keep some worldbuilding* largely canon compliant.

I intend to post information blocks about the OC's present in this as they come up and as information regarding them becomes relevant. Along with the prologue, I intend to post a small excerpt about the worldbuilding I've done.

This is intended to follow a kind of chaptered line. I have a brief plan for certain points to reach in each chapter before I will move onto the next. You will know when the current chapter will be finishing. Also, only the opening posts for each chapter will be maintagged as to avoid clogging it. I've seen it happen, people were grumpy

On that note, Chapter openings and chapter closes will be drawn in a higher quality than the majority of the comics.

Each comic will be tagged with the relevant chapter as well as a general story tag. Anything not comic related will be tagged with something else. Haven't decided what yet.

I will be adding more than just various Legundos. Characters from related Scenarios, and Dominion SMP may also make an appearance. I have a few in mind already, but that gets to stay secret for now ;)

*things such as how Decem, The Alterans, mystery 3rd party multiverse agency (????) interact with the world, though again. I point to the potential mangling of canon.

Final points, and Rules!

The askbox is not a place for trauma dumping, expression of personal political opinions, hate speech, bigotry, or other forms of hate.

If you have a problem with the way I am doing something, you are welcome to bring it up in the askbox, however keep in mind I am allowed to disregard it.

Yes I know the artstyle/character designs are going to be inconsistent. Woes of a constantly developing art style I guess.

I highly encourage you to share theories! On literally anything related to this. Worldbuilding? Character dynamics? headcanons? The OC's? 100Dmv series? Go for it!

At the beginning of each chapter, there will be a short list of all characters currently available for interaction. Any time a character is added to the scene, an updated note about current character availabilities will be posted and added to this post.

CURRENTLY AVAILABLE

N/A (it hasn't even started yet.)

[revvethasmythh]

For the critical role ask meme: 15 and 30.

Or, if you want to be spicy: 5 and 11. 👀

Or any combination of the above :)

15: Favorite one-on-one conversation (can be between two PCs, or a PC and NPC).

Caleb and Fjord in episode 62, Domestic Respite. That has been my favorite conversation since I first heard it and it still is. Caleb's "We can remake ourselves into something better" is, to me, the thesis of what the Mighty Nein campaign is about. That is The Ultimate conversation for me.

I do want to shout out Beau and Caleb's one-on-one in episode 57 though, too, because I do genuinely love that conversation and how it so viscerally feels like a turning point in their relationship and the campaign as a whole. Also Beau saying "You don't have to thank me for my time like you're a social worker" and then giving Caleb just a really long awkward hug lives in my head rent free

30: What is your favorite theory or headcanon that has absolutely no bearing on the plot and isn't important at all, but which is completely compliant with canon?

Okay as far as I am aware, this is canon compliant and if it's not don't tell me let me live in it, but it's "Eshteross is Fjord's dad." I have tethered myself to that theory. I am it's cheerleader. The only one who can take this from me is Matt

5: Meta you would write if you did not fear people would be SUPER weird about it. This is also an invitation to write that meta and block the haters.

Oh boy. there's quite a few honestly. But first that comes to mind is an expansion of that very brief (not maintagged) post I made exploring why Imogen has frustrated me as a character and despite wanting to like her, I really just find myself unable to connect with her. In conjunction with this, I think there is something to be said about Imogen and Laudna's relationship holding each other back from developing more. Something about the way they always reach for each feels like a stagnation of their developments that just leaves me wishing we could see them interact with more members of the group more often or to, honestly, see their codependency come up as a topic/be addressed in canon or sever more than it has to date.

It's like you know that conversation Nott and Caleb had in c2e46: Caleb said, "lately, I've gotten a little wrapped up in the group. I've forgotten about us. I've forgotten." And that's an interesting character beat! It'd be something different from the same homogeneity that their relationship has been dawdling in. The rock fight is the most interesting thing that's happened between them and that didn't even get all that heated or really change anything! Like not to abandon all attempts at maintaining a formal discussion on the topic, but I am emotionally poking their relationship with a stick saying "do something already"

okay. that felt good to get out. now ANOTHER THING

Honestly, I feel like a very long meta could be written about the way that fandom had pigeonholed Veth a "Mother" that doesn't actually leave room for her to be a person. I have seen so many people boil down her character to nothing more than a "mom," as if that's a character trait and not just something that she is. Like, yeah, she IS a mom. But "mom" isn't a personality and I don't know why the fandom treats it like one, and then goes so far as to continually behave like Veth is not just Luc's mom but Caleb's too, which she has not only repeatedly said she is NOT, but has openly and canonically admitted to having romantic/sexual attraction to him to the point where I'm like.......what do you think mothers are like? And that's not even about shipping. Shipping goggles are off, friends. That's about ignoring canon and vital character details that contribute to Veth's overall character arc that are willfully forgotten. And man, does that grind my gears.

Okay that's probably enough salt (this got long, sorry) and I can't think of anything off the top of my head for 11, but if something comes up I might add it.

Thanks for the questions!!

Weirdly specific ask meme!
