I hate when I follow people and check tehre bio and it says

DNI IF YOU SHIP TOM AND TORD

like man you were really cool but like now I can’t give you attention broski

Again this isn’t meant as hate, it’s ok to not want certain people to interact with you.

People who say Viv portrays Fizz as an UwU baby genuinely make me so uncomfortable.

Like if you don't like Viv that's your own business, but to go on and say that she infantilizes Fizz is genuinely disgusting. Mainly because he's such an important character who not only can honestly be called the most emotionally mature in the show, but is also extremely relatable to a ton of viewers. Him being the smaller partner in a gay relationship does not change that. His larger partner being protective (for a logical reason) does not change that. Him having insecurities and anxiety DOES NOT CHANGE THAT. Him not being able to cook does not change that. Him being able to freaking trust his partner enough to be vulnerable and to cry in front of him does not change that. He's a grown man and the show makes that clear literally all the time.

And to say that he is infantilized because you don't like Viv is so harmful because you're basically saying that anyone who has these attributes is a baby.

If you don't like Viv, whatever. You do you. But Fizz is an extremely well written character who, again, a lot of people (including myself) can relate to and saying the characteristics that MANY OTHER FULL ASS ADULTS HAVE is "infantilizing" is so freaking ignorant and insensitive.

Controversial opinion: I don't like Stolas and I don't want stolitz to become a relationship

Neither of them are 100% in the right, I know that, this isn't because I love Blitz, I don't really care, but Stolas has always got on my nerves. First he makes a sex deal with a guy while he can clearly see he's running for his life and not into it. The deal is the only way Blitz can do his job, that's sexual coercion! Don't believe me? Here's the definition:

"Sexual coercion is unwanted sexual activity that happens when you are pressured, tricked, threatened, or forced in a nonphysical way. Coercion can make you think you owe sex to someone. It might be from someone who has power over you, like a teacher, landlord, or a boss."

Stolas doesn't see it this way but in the beginning of course blitz did and why wouldn't he? It doesn't matter if it was consensual, Stolas has power over him so he'd assume he owes it, he even shows this mindset in full moon where he thinks Stolas is taking the book because he wasn't satisfying him.

Stolas was constantly calling him degrading names too "my little imp" -murder family "my little impish plaything" -truth seekers "itty bitty imps like yourself" -harvest festival(? Don't remember the title) "little creatures" -looloo land. The argument is he didn't mean it as an insult and that's true, he didn't even mean the deal as manipulation, but that doesn't change how it made blitz feel, blitz isn't the type to open up to someone and say 'hey that hurts my feelings ' if stolas really liked him he should have noticed the reactions. He hates it every time, pushing away, changing the subject, you can't be that stupid. You can say stolas was raised this way and yes he was but again how is that blitz's problem? He can be treated disrespectfully because stolas has a shitty parent? So did he.

Let's not forget how he acted at Ozzie's too, when he was called out for being on a date with an imp he hid behind his menu like blitz is an embarrassment, he publicly humiliated him instead of taking up for him, hence why Ozzie and fizz are so much better, they would never. And then Stolas is all sad like "why didn't he wanna cuddle? :(" idk maybe because you reinforced he's worthless in public

And then it's revealed they haven't been doing their deal for a while because stolas feels guilty and it's about time, he should have realized forcing someone to have sex with you to do their job is wrong immediately. When he tells blitz he does it in the worst way possible, he doesn't fully explain why he's taking the book first and that makes blitz panic, and then all the sudden he's confessing his love, what did he think would happen?

They have this huge argument where people say stolas has a trauma response from yelling even though he's never flinched at Stella and wasn't afraid of her, every time she yelled or threw something he just looked dead inside instead of frightened, that's a normal response too, what I'm saying is in that moment he wasn't afraid of blitz at all and even if he was how is that blitz's fault? It was an impulsive reaction not a planned thing to play on someone's trauma

"I think so highly of you, I didn't know you thought so low of me" Stolas says crying, how? And it's not thinking low, it's thinking you think so low, "treating me like one of your little imp servants" he was?? If someone is telling you you did something that hurt them you should apologize instead of making it about yourself, save your crying for when you apologize like "oh my God i did that? I'm so sorry, i didn't mean to, I don't look down on you I promise, I didn't realize " and boom we're slightly better!

"When have I ever looked down on you?" Everything before the deal break where you suddenly try to be better without apologizing and blitz doesn't understand, and the thing about blitz abandoning him with striker, he says blitz sounds like striker, don't do that wtf, you're making someone for guilty for taking their daughter to the doctor? Not everyone is a shitty dad who uses their child as an excuse to sexually and publicity flirt with the guy you're cheating on her mom with. You do not get to make him feel guilty for sending his work to do it while he comforts his scared child

Stolas refuses to acknowledge his own faults aside from the one with the deal, there's too much damage between to be a proper relationship, they shouldn't be endgame but you just know they will be somehow

What is your favorite thing about middle aged men

I hope this answers your question☺️

[mamaflaire]

I honestly don't even know what's going on anymore in this fandom

I mean - I wanna reblog art from artists in the Osmosis Jones on here and Twitter, but there's so much drama going on and I don't even understand the entire situation.

I mean, for example on Twitter, I went to check out someone's art since it looked AMAZING. And once I read their bio it said "DNI- pro-ship" (which that I understand 100%) but also "if you follow/support kharsagii". And I was confused but obviously I respected that and didn't interact

But from what I've seen and interacted with Khar, they seem so nice. So I'm just really confused? I mean all my interactions have been NOTHING but friendly. But apparently there's something going on and I'm just completely confused

Now, let me say this, from what I understand (and it's not much) I do fully and 100% support Kharsagii. I just wish that we didn't have drama or separations like this in fandoms - since when were people considered bad for liking an artist?? It seems like every fandom I'm in there is SOMETHING happening and I'm so tired of it. Why am I labeled bad either way if I'm on a side? Why do there have to be sides??

This is just a rant and I'm not wanting arguments or anything, but this is just my stance on what's happening.

I just miss when people would post art in fandoms and get along and compliment each other instead of being at each other's throats.

" I didn't realize you think so low of me"

Weeeell, maybe because you are a royal who behaves as a royal. You have imp servants at your place, IMP SERVANTS, just like Blitzø. He probably had bumped into them once or twice, helloborns like himself, charged for keeping the maison clean, making meals, serving at events, why does he have any reasons to believe he's something different? He kinda always saw, even considering the feelings crescendo, the transition act as a service. Forced somehow ( we can see this very clearly during his trip session, chained, submissive) to do that for the benefit of his business, as he has no alternative. Does he have any other way to begin with, in a society with a strong pyramidal hierarchy portrayed from the very beginning of the show? The same one which exploits Imps and keeps hellhounds as Loona, sentient beings as intelligent as everyone else, as literal pets? And even if he is granted with freedom at the end, how is it noble to reserve this gift only if some romantic feelings are involved, and not because he thinks of imps as individuals deserving much more than exploration? Blitzø's reaction is not surprising at all, even without considering for a moment his low self esteem and traumatic past. And overall, is any good to being "special" to someone who doesn't seem, at least for what we saw until now, interested in ceasing to have servants of his kind? This show is also about privilege and class differences, but we tend to forget this. Just saying.

Why do people treat Thrax and Osmosis like That? A Discussion About Fandom and Antiblackness

Happy black history month!

I’ve been considering making this post for a long time, and I wasn’t sure when, but I think now is a good opportunity.

NOTE: Let me preface this by saying that with a movie with a predominantly black main cast, the fanspace has been predominantly white/non-black, and I feel that has effected the conversations surrounding this movie for a long time.

Fandom, in general, continues to have white voices and perspectives highlighted, while black and poc voices are drowned out. Compare 2014 to 2024, and it’s obvious that there’s been a shift in diversity among all fanspaces, and I’m so very glad.

I want to continue this shift, by giving my own perspective as a black person who loves this movie, and I’d like to highlight the way the OJ fandom has treated these black characters (and spoiler, it hasn’t been great.)

Firstly, too many people are comfortable with portraying Thrax as this sexual r*pey monster, and I need it to stop. ESPECIALLY when he’s explicitly a black coded character.

From what I’ve seen observing and participating in this fandom over the past few years, is that Thrax and Ozzy is a very popular pairing, and honestly, I’m not a fan. It’s onesided, there’s not that much chemistry on screen except the dynamic of Jones being afraid and Thrax trying to kill him. I can’t control what people ship, but I absolutely can condemn the way people have paired these two up. Because… As a black person, I don’t like seeing these black characters in (oftentimes if not always) inherently racist dynamics.

Let me explain:

CW // mentions of racism, rape, grooming

Both Jones and Thrax are black coded characters. They use AAVE, have black VA’s, and Thrax literally has locs While Mayor phlemming is very much racist towards Jones in the movie (ie refering to him as “incapable”, treating Ozzy badly why Drix is praised, there’s obviously racial coding there). So, I can say with certainty that these characters are black, because of how theyre treated and also the cultural motifs in their story and character.

With that said, in the pairing of Ozzy and Thrax, so many people depict Thrax as this sexy controlling or possessive boyfriend that’s monsterous and the “top”, while Jones is the submissive scared stupid and sensitive “bottom”. I’ve seen this in fanfic, fanart, etc. It’s a shame that these characters have been boiled down into something like this, especially when I love Thrax as a villain, and I think Jones does a great job standing his ground as a hero even when he’s scared.

Thrax has high kill count and he wants to keep the killing going, and it’s refreshing to see a unrelentless villain like that in kids Animation; That’s one of the reasons why he’s so popular. But, everytime I bring up this character to people, its either “he’s so hot i need him” or “he should fuck osmosis”. Pushing aside the good writing of black characters in order to satisfy sexual fantasies via a ship is Certainly a Odd Choice. But, it happens anyway in a lot of fanspaces, and Osmosis Jones is no exception.

This type of dynamic of Thrax in particular just continues to perpetuate stereotypes of black men that are inherently racist. (ex: black men are rapists, are hyper sexual monsters, etc). Like, Historically, this stereotype has been used to dehumanize and incarcerate black men, And the stereotype in its self began with American slavery and the practice of “breeding” the enslaved. So, why do so many people continue to project this type of behavior on Thrax (particularly with Jones)?

Is it because he’s hot? Or that he’s just sexual in nature? Or was it that “big daddy thrax” line in the movie? Regardless of how Thrax was written compared to how he has been protrayed in fandom spaces, at the end of the day, thats fanon. Thrax isn’t a sex monster, he’s a egotistical virus with the intent to kill and win!

Themes of R*pe come up a lot with Thrax fancontent, for some reason. Maybe it was the choking scene, because it has sexual themes, but is not consesual in the slightest. Majority ozzy and thrax fanfics on AO3 have tags for Non-c0n and explicit. Sometimes, instead of fanfic it’s digital art, and it isn’t always tagged.

I vividly remember scrolling on tumblr when I was 14, looking for Osmosis Jones art, only to be flashed by r*pe and explicit content of Thrax, Jones, Leah. I remember Leah, a black woman character, often being pushed to the side and demonized. Little black kid me got so, so scared of the fandom, because of the racism and graphic content.

So, I kept lurking, holding my breath as I scrolled, and never interacting or posting my art, sharing my ideas, nothing. I felt alienated from the fanspace of a animated movie meant for kids, a movie that I loved. Online fanspaces are a great way for people to find other’s who have the same interest, but that wasn’t the case for me. I was deprived of something I should’ve had fun with, especially as an autistic kid who had no one else to talk to about the things I liked. I hated it; being uncomfortable and scared, because of something I loved, but feared the things that could come with it.

I tried overcoming that fear and branching out but it ultimately got me groomed by people who liked the movie on different occasions, and now that I’m 18, older, and wiser, I don’t want repeats to happen to anyone else.

There is no reason a animated movie, that’s meant for children mind you, has had such a racist and explicit fanspace.

There is no reason to not properly tag your content, not just for organization purposes, but for safety.

There is no reason why the most popular ship in this fandom is the one that has so much underlying themes of racism and SA, canonically and in fanon.

This is just my opinion, because I think black voices are important in fandom especially when so often overlooked, and I’m willing to discuss this further or answer any questions. It’s just tiring as a black person to keep seeing this happen with black characters.

i hate when right wing people are like ‘cope and seethe’ ‘it’s not that serious’ and make fun of poc/queer/disabled leftists for being upset/passionate about the current state of the world. it IS that serious. some people’s lives will genuinely be ruined by this and you don’t care just because you dont agree with them??? that’s so stupid

[insanityisfine]

So, I know I'm late to this party, but in my defense I just got the invitation.

I recently went through Little Goody Two Shoes, and then learnt about the existence of Pocket Mirror, so I went to look that one up too.

Loved how LGTS built upon PM, how it recontextualized COMPLETELY one of, if not THE generally agreed upon, happier endings.

And yet.

Maybe it's because I arrived here late, I haven't seen a lot of mentions of Henri's role in the most gruesome ending of PM (Witching Hour), and how deep Ozzy's manipulation and disregard for his own rules goes.

In the Witching Hour ending, we see Henri casually talk with Ozzy, clearly they know each other well, and I got the feeling Ozzy would eventually take him as an apprentice, or a new "lord", like the crow - Murim, and the snake - Aziel.

And LGTS makes SUCH a big deal of, well, the deal between Ozzy and Elise, with him demanding her first born, and her offering her second born (in one of the rare instances of smarts from Elise), and him agreeing to it.

Thing is: both of them were lying through their teeth.

Elise had no intentions of ever having children, and Ozzy went after BOTH of her children in the end.

Did he know she was trying to trick him, and decided to make sure she had two children, and then take them both, as a punishement? Or did he have no intention of following whatever counter offer Elise made, and take a child of hers regardless?

Did Elise ever had a choice?

In the non-canon endings we see Elise lament that Ozzy took Goldia, meaning she's most likely dead, but given what we see in the Witching Hour ending, Ozzy either has, or will take Henri too.

There's no saving grace, there's no honour among thieves, there's no escape. Ozzy takes what he wants, period.

Hell, the PM ending where Elise didn't take Ozzy's deal, where she apparently never even learnt of his existence, has Goldia finding the shoes, just like she did. He's going after that lineage, no matter what.

Elise's birth, her whole existence is tied to Ozzy and the supernatural, hell, it's basically unnatural, and Ozzy decided to torment her in every way and path possible, including taking both of her children, just to further fuck with her.

Hell, he even went so far as to guide Rozenmarine, who was basically groomed to eventually be a willing sacrifice to something, to Elise, to make sure he got his way.

He's a bitch, but he's a dedicated one.

goodness, it seems i cant stop coming up with art ideas! i am now wanting to make a portal 2 x pokemon thingy.

(itll just he cores & main characters/protagonists that i like.)

im currently brainstorming my idea for the subway masters

i literally still have pokepasta ingo go finish. 😞

Ozzie stating how lust (and relationships) should not happen through use of force but be a consensual thing as well as not spilling the details of Fizzarolli's past and personal feelings of why he's hated Blitz for the past 15 years makes my heart feel so fucking warm, you guys. He's definitely a great role model and partner material.

Also, Fizzarolli mentioning how losing his limbs hurt and how it was hard getting used to his new life with prostetics, but that none of that makes him broken or keeps him from living a good life is just amazing. It's great disability representantion.

This episode gave us so much, I'm just so grateful.

And while I get some people feeling like the reveal of the accident and then how it all was a misunderstanding which they then forgave each other for was handled a bit rushed - I gotta say, I'm just too happy to get some fluff and happiness with these 2. It's clear that they meant so much to each other back then and probably still do. Getting that closure and them hugging means so much to me so I can't complain about any of it.

okay i cannot hold it back any longer

Thing a bit more about HB 207 and the whole thing with Fizz feeling like he has to earn Ozzie makes even more sense if you consider his background in the circus. Blitzø’s dad seems to give affection and attention based on who was being the most “value” in.

Fizz was the “son he wished he could have” because of how good of a performer he was and how much money he brought in. Fizz likely saw and internalized the way Blitzø was treated as well, with attention ultimately being a commodity that had to be earned We have never seen or really heard anything about Fizz’s own family- so at the moment going with the assumption that Buckzo (and later Mammon) was (were) the closest thing he had to a parent, and a parent who only ever gave him any kind of praise or attention when he was winning or doing “good” would explain a lot. And the thing with these kind of people that use others for their gain is that often times it’s never enough- there is always more. Fizz likely constantly to better himself, to reach for more, because if he doesn’t then he’ll be tossed away.

Then he meets Ozzie- who not just gives him love and affection openly but is also someone he likely perceives as being “higher class” than him given the hierarchy in hell. And Fizz works for him, making an even greater power dynamic. Right there, with the combo of him being someone of power and offering affection he likely doesn’t often receive (because as we see most of his fans are creepy and after Blitzø we don’t know if he has any other friends) makes it so Fizz feels like this has so be something he earns. Because all other relationships he’s had like this have worked that way. As a business transaction as sorts. He has to play the role of the top-notch performer, because if he doesn’t he’ll be replaced or thrown away.

And just… ow

I feel like this can resonate with so many people in so many different ways. For many relationships they feel transactional or conditional in a way- where you have to prove you’re worthy of them, and ultimately that puts pressure and stress on you.

Fizz and Ozzie’s relationship is adorable and they are clearly in love, but there still is some things they need to discuss and communicate. Their relationship isn’t perfect (as is the same with most relationships, both in reality and the media) and I’ll be really interested in seeing if they discuss this going forward. Fizz is finally seeking to communicate more with Ozzie, and with them being open about their relationship and him leaving Mammon (and acknowledging that Mammon is a PIECE OF SHIT) it definitely feels like a step in the right direction.

Erm WHAT (show us this beauty please)
