Daddy’s Blunt Weapon

i feel like leo in media nowadays is so not him, and imma be so real for the longest time i too regarded him as the ‘strict mom of the group’ but he’s really fucking isn’t.

he’s cringe, nerdy, sassy, and just a tad awkward! he’s obsessed with kids cartoons and anime and that’s canon! he sasses and pokes fun at his siblings, he makes jokes and puns that never hit! he gets so happy when he goes to space and makes silly faces! He likes dnd and comics! he’s a kid, he likes to mess around and he’s pretty laid back when it comes to everyday stuff!

he’s not this stick up his ass type of guy, he just take’s missions seriously bc he’s trying to keep his bros safe, bc the weight of being the leader weighs down on him heavily and he takes the role of leader very strictly and rightly so! he may be a star student but only bc he’s a hard worker and he’s stubborn enough that he’s good at shit he wants to be good at. he wants to protect his siblings.

not saying he can’t be extra or anything, he can so be a lil shit when it comes to training. i’m just saying we should show his more colorful side :))

Bro, why is it that the warriors community is so insistent on Mapleshade being an unreliable narrator, yet they believe everything Appledusk has ever said?

Hey I know you're all trying to be humorous but can we fucking stop with the jokes that are like "all men are horrible at sex always and only lesbians can keep women satisfied"??

They're not funny anymore

And I'm not just saying that because I'm a bisexual with a boyfriend and I love guys just as much as I love ladies

I'm also saying this because I bet there are lesbians that are bad at sex, too! Especially if they've come out of the closet very recently and have never been with another woman before

And also, gender identity and biological sex are fluid and complicated and don't always match and these jokes forget about that

Back Home!

It's good to be back. Will endeavour to use tonight and tomorrow to be a little more active and pretend that this is still something approximating a roleplay blog.

Also, minor rant under the cut.

I get so incredibly tired of the mainstream fandom's engagement with Hank as a character. It's literally just such basic bitch shit. There's so little attempt to actually engage with what he is beyond the surface.

He's either a cuddly doctor who exists as five lines in a hurt/comfort fic, or he's fucking Satan himself because people's memories don't go back before 2019, and it makes me wonder sometimes why I bother trying to talk to people outside of my small, curated sphere here, because the majority of fandom will see one panel on Twitter, or Reddit, and form a fuckass opinion based on it, and then I have to act like it's somehow worth engaging with.

Where's the exploration of Hank as a trans metaphor? Where's the examination of Hank as a lens through which to view changing politics and the popular conceptualisation of intellectuals? Where's the thesis on why Hank is a sex symbol on the Avengers but he's a mopey bastard on the X-Men? Where's the discourse that actually bothers to question what Abigail represents on his narrative journey, and why they worked as a couple, and why she's important?

I just get so tired of the mainstream X-Men fandom sometimes. It legitimately feels like they have a head full of fuckin' bricks, and all it takes is jangling some keys in front of them to get them excited.

The people I have following and interacting with me here, you guys? You guys, I can have an actual conversation with, and I appreciate you more and more and more every time I dip my toe into Twitter and Reddit.

Rant over. Thanks for sticking with me. 💙

I am just so tired of seeing us politics all the time. Like, why should the president of a country on the other side of the world matter to me? It shouldn't be important to me, just like it's not important to me who is the president of Ghana. But of course, the cheeto asshole now owns the world! Congratulations fuckers, I didn't even vote because I don't live in USA or have any relation to it, yet you are destroying the lives of random people who shouldn't need to care about your elections. And I don't even live in Palestine, or a country with a genocide or famine or whatever going on, but I am still affected by it (edit: I didn't word this very well, I meant that Palestine for example is directly affected by USA politics, but even countries in less extreme situations are affected by usa politics and they shouldn't be. Neither should Palestine of course). I fucking hate this.

Friend vent time :D

Ima just use their initials cuz it's easier to understand

So my friend J was planning a surprise birthday party for his girlfriend, K. He invites me and we make arrangements to meet up. Last night at like, 11:15 pm, J randomly cancels on me, saying that K found out about the plans and doesn't want to hang out

This isn't the first time at all that J and K have cancelled on me. They're always cancelling things on me and giving fake ass reasons for not being able to go. Here's another story about these same two people

Several months ago, my friend H was having a birthday, and everyone in our entire friend group was invited except for me. I brought it up to H and her excuse was that she just wanted to invite a few people, but she had invited N, and N brought along the rest of the friend group. For some reason N didn't think to invite me tho, and H didn't say anything about it

And just this morning, pictures were sent to the gc. Turns out that just a few days ago, the WHOLE friend group +some people I don't know met up for K2's (different K, so I'm calling her K2) surprise birthday party. It was planned by K2's dad and N. I didn't even know this was happening until this morning. I just want to stress that EVERYONE else was invited. There were over 10 people invited, including J and K

What's worse is that they sent it to the gc, where I was sure to see it

Overall, I'm just fucking left out of everything, but the thing is, if I bring it up and tell them that I want to be invited to things, they will invite me out of annoyance, because they have made it VERY clear that they don't want me around. I want to go to things, but only if they actually want me there

Another thing that scares me is that, my family is telling me that I should tell them off, but if I tell them off, they are probably gonna leave me. It would be so easy for them because I'm not "good friends" with anyone in the gc, and I'm constantly afraid that the slightest angry tone in my voice could make them angry enough to say "Fuck it, I don't wanna be with you anymore."

I can't leave them, cuz they're the closest thing I have to friends, and until I find better friends, I would like to keep them

I'm probably gonna cry about this later, we'll see

But yeah, thanks for reading this, here's a cookie :) 🍪

here's what's been plaguing me for the last few weeks (i'm bitching under the cut)

the rpc fucking SUCKS right now

people aren't interacting with each other AT ALL, not sending memes, not interacting with people's opens or ooc posts. and i know life outside of the rpc is really fucking heavy right now, everywhere. this isn't me saying people don't have the right to react to the state of the world in whatever way they want. i just wish that it felt like an escape here like it used to.

people are on less, people are posting less and that's totally okay. so am i, school is kicking my ass this semester even though i have less work and i don't even know why.

but it's getting SO INSULAR here, it feels like every time i do my part to try and reach out to people it just falls completely fucking flat. and it's exhausting. and i know i'm not the only one feeling it. i want to plot, i want to write and develop new dynamics and ships.

when i have the energy to give people 100% i DO and i'm ready to and i've BEEN ready

anyway that is all. i have tried to be so normal i have tried not to complain because there are bigger problems in the world right now and this is comparatively a drop in the bucket in terms of shit too complain about but god fucking dammit im frustrated

and i'm so fucking happy for you if this isnt your experience and you get included all the time and get sent memes every time you post them and your messages about plotting and memes don't go consistently unanswered but that hasn't been my experience for a long time and it hasn't been a lot of people's experiences and i deserve to say that i am frustrated and annoyed by it.

rant incoming

envy (n x v) is a really cute ship but im sorry the people who ship it are horrible. the fact that there are envy shippers sending death threats to glitch and trying to doxx liam is actually disgusting. ive seen way too many ordinary fans getting death threats on twitter / tiktok just because they ship nuzi, its sickening. not to mention all the people getting attacked for shipping wd x dd ships because its "proship," its not. we have proof that uzi and N are the same age in the show, and glitch is hinting at the ship a lot. there's a bunch more but I don't really wanna say it because i don't have any proof, and the worst part? the show ISNT EVEN ROMANCE BASED. the new episode was packed with so much lore and the plot is so so cool and the only thing people are talking about is N and uzi holding hands and blushing?? please.

[darehearts]

i really just need a hug 😭

(finally posting this because my partner posted something like it)

"rei and akari are lucas and dawn!!" NO THE FUCK THEY ARE NOT.

They are ancestors just like volo and kamado

And the BIGGEST THING THAT DISPROVES THIS???

They BOTH are in the same timeline and one of them always has to be from hisui, said hisuian one is trusted and beloved, clearly from their time

The other falls from the sky, unrecognized by anyone

Hell the fallen one can be CUSTOMIZED to not look like their descendant

NOT TO MENTION THEIR CANONICAL NAMES ARE DIFFERENT FROM LUCAS AND DAWN.

This theory pisses my partners and i off so much like NO!!! just because ingo was a character we knew before doesn't mean that the PROTAGONIST IS

[quitealotofsodapop]

Hmmm... what if the reason. Xiwangmu and Erlang aren't there is due to them just... not being there? Maybe they're on some visit or something for alliance and treaty reasons. Jsut cuz Wukong eas isolated from the political world for 500+ years doesn't mean the Celestial Body was

That or the writers are cowards

Part of my frustration comes from Mei and PIF being the only consistent lady characters in the whole series since Spider Queen and LBD died. And ofc Nuwa gets a brief appearance in the most recent season.

Give us the giant Tiger Empress!! Let her tear the skies open in her grief of losing her life-long mate! The Jade Emperor didn't exist in a vaccuum, he had a wife and daughters!

Erlang is more understandable, he at least gets a minifig (something Nuwa and Li Jing got before their appearances). He could easily be on vacation with his dog.

But to not even mention the Emperor's family???

Especially when there's a succession crisis? And his bitch-as son-in-law is grabbing for power???

I'll even take Wukong commenting something like "Hey, ain't the Queen in charge now?" Just acknowledge that she exists!

I do like the interpetation of the Nine Headed Demon as also being Xiang Liu (nine-headed snake monster who worked for the god who broke the Heavenly pillar + got slain by Yu and Nuwa) tho.

Istg if people continue to take the marriage thing for Sebastian seriously, I will make an entire poem about hate, AM style 😚🫶

[shynerdwantscuddles]

It’s wild that people will act shocked when someone who has made it clear that they hate being around kid and are grossed out by them doesn’t want to be a parent. It’s also always cis men who will never have to push them out that are surprised.

[timideartilleur]

I didn't want to complain on the first of new year, but my life is a perpetual complaining. Lol

There's an app that lets you see your top ten post of 2024 on Tumblr and, on my main blog, it turned out most of the places were taken by my crappy, mediocre drawings.

Not a simgle post about the topics I mostly care about; posts that usually take me an embarrassing amount of time to make.

It's not like I didn't expect it: I did. After all I talk about people and things nobody cares about, even less on frevblr. Still, it made an effect to actually have proof of it :<

It's totally true that one should post for the sake of it and not for receiving attention and I don't care about receiving attention, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Let's be real though: if somebody shares something online, receiving notes not only makes them feel their work is appreciated, but also encourages them to post more. I care about my blorbos more than anything so I don't think I'll ever stop annoying everyone with my content, but I wonder if what I do is really appreciated or if it's just perceived as annoying and irrelevant.

[blades-lovemail]

had to get this one out sorry

[heartsbreaking]

i'm gonna be so fucking fr one thing that has always pissed me off about the rpc is how personal people take it when shows/sequels don't go how they expect them to go/don't follow the canon people have made up in their head. like i get canon divergence, but its SO FRUSTRATING to me to see rpers bashing show runners/bashing directors for choices that make sense for their story just because they don't fit the version of the character they write on tumbIr.gov. it's exhausting and i'm not naming fandoms you can assign that shit for yourselves but its tiring. i'm tired like y'all HAVE to know by now that when you give a character that doesn't have a last name or mentioned parent or something an origin story that MIGHT change in canon and might not be what you made up right? you don't have have to take it out on the writers...or hell maybe you don't even have to post about it. just go with your canon and make sure your canon divergence is clear somewhere on your page so a) everyone is on the same page and b) people can decide whether they want to follow your canon and if they don't want to they don't follow you and that saves everyone hurt feelings. bashing the writers may not reach the actual writers but it does reach OTHER PEOPLE who write those characters and write in the same fandom and that does make it kind of a hostile place ngl.
