Actually I could’ve had went on rant of my own regarding kodomo animes/hobbyanis, more modern ones specifically, and how they’re perceived by the more general audience, but
You will look at me as the most deranged person in the room then, I feel </3 I have thoughts and opinions for sure
#shut up seraph#listen...not everything made is kino but kids deserve silly funny things#most of resent toward them just comes from bias of older people and their nostalgia goggles while there is a place for fair critique yet it#rarely gets brought up#listen dude the most popular gaming franchises is guy in his mid 20s stoping on living mushrooms and anthro hedgehog that goes ZOOM at mach#this is stupid it makes no sense its absurd and that's why it's great it's the point#and that hedgehog never be that man in his 20s because he doesn't needs to and vice-versa#despite being in same genre#because he doesn't needs to it's the point (again)#idk i'm sorry this is the best comparison i could've come up with </3#my thoughts make no sense when I try to actually properly express em prob...sorry#if y*o or pok*mon came out now you would be giving same reaction trust me i know how you people are

(re: sssniperwolf and jacksfilms) It's laughable that she escalated it that hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure stalking him like that is illegal and it's terrifying regardless, but Jack said in a stream (can't remember which one) that he wasn't about bringing up past controversies of hers or cancelling. And now she shows up outside his house (wtf!!!). Like he was willing to only call her out for stealing and freebooting but she's gone and stalked him and Jack doesn't seem like the type of guy to take that shit. Actual WTF moment from her part. wild
omg long post below bc apparently I have opinions: YES!! THAT'S WHAT'S SO INCREDIBLE ABOUT THIS... Jack has been genuinely diligent about keeping things on-topic in his streams, and hasn't brought up any of her other Stuff, or anything Personal. Despite the fact that she kickstarted the whole thing by making it INCREDIBLY personal and attacking his physical appearance... His goal has been to call out and bring attention to content theft, and he's stuck with it. Dude's also cared about this for years, and she's not the first content thief he's criticized. He just hates the way that freebooting has become so accepted-- to the point where youtube praised her for "coming up with such creative video ideas"? Hey! Ew! Dude wasn't trying to get her cancelled though, there was no smear campaign of her character. He's been rallying to get her to CREDIT the creators that she relies on for all of her content. It would set a precedent for all other "react" channels on the platform for one of the biggest channels on youtube to actually give credit where credit is due. Or, god forbid, get permission first? It's not hard. It's already done the job of making some other people who do "react content" self-analyze whether or not their content is transformative, and to maybe care about crediting the creators they rely on for their genre to work. There is a way to make this kind of video that isn't so slimy. And making fun of her lackluster-at-best reactions is so far from even being a big deal. Bc she literally does just sit there and say nothing. Plus, his goal has a clear End built into it: if she started shouting out the creators she takes content from, and put links directly to their pages in her video descriptions, the job would be done! That's what he's asking her to do. Real bare minimum stuff. It legit would have been easy to steer away from the content theft and to also talk about her history of lying to her audience! her ghosting a dying kid with cancer who was a big fan of hers! the fact that she's been arrested for armed robbery! her history of transphobia! He would also get more clicks that way, which is what she claims is his sole goal- to get more clicks. I'll bring it up though! She's been a terrible person the whole time, and has kept a steady course of manipulating her audience of young children and/or, let's be completely honest, simps- into thinking that she's a Wholesome creator. (And now, into thinking she's an innocent victim.) All of the actual effort put in by her has gone toward optics, not the content she puts out. A carefully constructed online persona, for one, but also literal appearances. Jack totally can't say this, bc she already went off the handle and said the only reason he doesn't like her is bc he Hates To See A Woman Be Successful. But I can! That was a cheap shot for her to use that argument when, for once, it's not applicable! Much the opposite, even! Dudes online wouldn't go to bat for her if she didn't look the way she does. And it weakens any case she'd have against him by making baseless claims like that. She banks hugely on being an attractive woman to get her clicks/following. A massive amount of effort is put into her appearance. The makeup, the lip fillers, putting her hair in little pigtails, the chokers and tube tops, the big non-prescription Nerd Glasses, the thumbnails where she has her mouth open in That Expression?
I don't even have to say anything. But making a weird facial expression and putting your hair in pigtails aren't moral failings. Showing up at someone's real life home (whose address you shouldn't even have access to), filming the front of their house at night, doxxing them to your audience of millions of people? Because you were mad at them online? That is fully scary! Yeah girl I'm pretty sure that Jack can press charges! There is absolutely no way to take the moral highground now that she's literally stalked him, and doxxed his home. She tried to goad him and Erin (Jack's wife) out of the house, also, which creeps me out even more-- because what was she planning to do? The fact that she's been arrested for violent crime before does pop into my mind! lmao! Jack was streaming a game at the time that she was outside his home, and these clips of him, his friends, and Erin reacting in real time to what is genuinely a scary situation have been taken down in case he needs to use them in legal action. Shit is legitimately serious!
#sergle answers#long post#LONGEST POST ON EARTH I'M SO SORRY#saying all this out loud only takes a few minutes but typing it... girl this is a BOOK#clearly I have thoughts on this Online Drama but also this isn't online!#these are people who exist in real life. and compromising a person's safety bc he criticized you for stealing tiktoks#is a real life thing. this isn't confined to online spaces! you can turn off your computer to get away from An Argument#but someone going to your house?? that's absolutely terrifying#and all of this is just because he's been telling her to credit the creators. it could have been resolved so simply.#I hope he takes legal action against her bc he genuinely has grounds to do so.#and I can't imagine how terrified and upset I would be if someone was outside my door. filming my house for their audience.#also the 'what if the roles were reversed' argument is rarely made in good faith... but she's already brought up the topic.#this would be getting even more coverage and the optics would be Even Creepier if a strange man with millions of followers showed up#at the home of a woman- just bc she criticized his videos- filming her home address for all to see and trying to get her to come outside.#It's just as creepy that sssniperwolf did this as it would be coming from ANYONE else#it's been downplayed bc her being a little skinny woman means that A Man shouldn't be threatened by her#which. even if she wasn't going to Do anything. any one of her rabidly loyal online followers MIGHT. she's not the only one who could go to#his house now! anyone could show up.#sergle.txt#Jacksfilms#Sssniperwolf

The Premise of this Threadfic: Homelander suckles on Billy Butcher’s d!ck until the stress and white noise in his evil blond head is gone. That’s it. That’s the plot.
CW: ⚠️🔞, some surface level Homelander whump because I think he deserves a lil pampering after the new episode. Vaguely inspired by The Boys 04x04 and Butcher’s gorgeous manly tatas
(You can read the rest of it here!)
If you don’t have a Twitter account, screenshots are provided below the line break so you can read this update on Tumblr as well:
A/N - I can't believe this threadfic has its own behind-the-scenes backstory, but the first 25 tweets of how this threadfic initially started had been very different from what you see in this version. It was full of poignant lore and future S4 speculation, a dive into HL's psyche regarding his traumatic upbringing, and commentary about Compound V causing madness and tragedy to tie into what'll happen to Hugh Sr, ect.… It’d been saved in my Drafts; I’d been ready to click “Post All” after I found the perfect GIFs for the starter tweet. But then I'd accidentally pressed "DELETE" instead of "Save”—and all that work, vanished. Banished to the ether. RIP to what could've been. 🥲 I wasn't about to retype all that in my second attempt so I ended up simplifying it. And that's how we arrived here. :) Hope y'all enjoyed regardless! <3
#butchlander#the boys#the boys tv#homelander#billy butcher#billy butcher x homelander#threadfic#I say spoilers but only a couple are (I kept them very subtle so you don’t know what they are if you haven’t seen the VoughtHQ leaks)#truly one of my rare ‘no plot just sm_u_t’ threadfics#slighty hurt/comfort but not rly; the main point of this 🧵fic is bc I just wanted to get the brainworm outta my head#I thought about a Part III to this but…nah it is what it is in the tincan short & sweet#I could’ve written about Billy’s sentinent symbiote Venom-adjacent brain tumor being given its own body (a double Billy!) & they tagteam HL#I had the perfect lead-up originally in my initial draft (we’d brought in antipsychotics for Billy to treat his hallucinations)#but it wasn’t meant to be 💀#sometimes a slowburn longfic writer just wanna write straightforward ��� spice#the boys season 4#the boys season 4 spoilers#the boys amazon

told one of my friends about Fablehaven/Dragonwatch today and I was like “but don’t read it tho” So they were like “what’s wrong with it?”
(Now they often read books that make you wanna throw them across the room, so they’re used to that sort of thing) And I was like “Do you want me to start with the first book?” long story short I think I traumatized them
#fablehaven#dragonwatch#fhdw#Things I brought up:#Ruth being a chicken and the family eating her eggs#Ruth turning back into a human without the proper attire#Seth turning into a half walrus half human thing and then it’s never brought up again#Seth aging unnaturally until the fairy frees him and it’s never brought up again#The massages given to Nero#Which isn’t as bad but still#The milk scene 💀#The fact that kendra and seth drank milk STRAIGHT FROM THE BUCKET#Which would be EXTREMELY HOT and have a lot of bacteria#Seth and Kendra getting traumatized on the festival night which is rarely ever brought up again#Some other things I probably forgot#i’ll shut up now

Something I really need Stranger Things fic writers to know is that no one in rural America was locking any doors in the eighties apart from the government and businesses. I remember when there was a big stink about "we gotta start locking our doors now how am I supposed to remember that every time I leave the house." People didn't lock the doors when they were home until at LEAST the mid-aughts, a lot of people STILL don't. "Oh we can't get into so-and-so's house/car because we don't have the keys!" You do not need the keys, just open the door. "I'm alarmed because I went over to so-and-so's house and their front door was unlocked so I instantly knew something was wrong." It would be much weirder if it was locked. If I showed up at my friend's house and the door was locked I would immediately assume something was wrong. If I lived in a town regularly invaded by monsters and patrolled by mobs of government agents/Russian spies/jocks with guns, I would assume my friend was currently being hunted.
#stranger things#pretty sure Will just walked into his house in the first episode#I know Mike did when he brought Eleven home#None of these doors are locked#Please stop including it as plot points because it takes me right out of the story and leaves me staring into space#Also while we're at it:#VHS tapes will not fit in Steve's back jeans pocket#That's not happening#And it is completely normal for the Wheelers to not know where their two oldest kids are#Parents in the eighties expected you to show up for breakfast and for dinner and that's it#Sometimes you bike to the other side of town to get up to trouble with your friends and that's just how it is#If you were inside they were concerned about your health#And no one was particularly stressed about being able to reach anyone because that was the usual state of things#Sorry for the rant#So many of you are too young to have known the carefree days of the height of serial killers lol#Kids rarely went missing and most people had only ever heard of murders and other serious crimes in the big city#No one in Hawkins is concerned except the people who have dealt with the monsters

Wait ok I'm not knowledgeable on anything Wilson family. Slade drugs Rose???
yeah <///3 before tt03 they had met like once ever (and it went poorly) so to get rose on his side slade injected her with a super soldier serum
in #0.5 he kidnaps her after buying a hit on her (many such cases) and goes "cmon rose we can be a family lets be a family <3333" and she agrees (because shes angry and slade is the one handing her a weapon to kill the man that killed her mother)
then theyre on the same side for a while! the first time we hear about the serum (and iirc only time its specifically mentioned while shes being drugged) is in #12 (BART 🥺)
we also see some flashbacks in fresh hell of slade giving her the serum too
anyways then she joins the team and everything is alright (lie). this is the first confirmation that she was being drugged, plus also showing that shes staying on the team just bc shes afraid slade will get her again :(
in any story that takes place from 2003-2006 that includes rose & slade (bg #63-64, nightwing #112-115, etc), rose is being drugged :(
basically the writers needed an explanation for why she would choose to work with slade and wanted an excuse for why she would be able to join the titans later on and honestly? rare johns banger. this plotline fucks to me. completely defines rose's relationship with slade and gives her a concrete reason to hate him but also have very complicated feelings about her place in his life ouuughhhh
but in conclusion slade sucks so heres some panels of rose beating him up
#i hadn't really thought about it before making this post but its kinda surprising how little the serum gets brought up#i think because its one of the worst things slade has ever done so ppl ignore it to say 'slade is so misunderstood 🥺'#but like. it probably gets brought up less than 5 times in all of tt03 (INCLUDING fresh hell)#and its pretty much never brought up outside of tt03#even when a book mentions her stabbing her eye out they rarely bring up the fact that she was being drugged when it happened#i dont even think batgirl 2008 said anything about her being drugged?#obv they say that it happened to cass but i dont think it says anything about rose too#and then ofc it hasnt been canon since the new 52. scott lobdell start running#(<- probably not actually his fault but im still blaming him)

funniest thing abt my whole deal w the west wing was watching it with my family while they had no idea i was undergoing one of the most intense media experiences of my life
#even now when it gets brought up casually rarely like. i have a regular conversation about it#but in my head i am just going you have no idea how i feel about this show#literally closed myself in a bathroom to sob after 7x05 and it was not subtle but i still doubt they really knew/noticed the extent#ted talks#the west wing

one time i dreamt and then woke up and continued to think about groggily until i got out of bed that atsushi had a pet tiger but he wasn’t allowed to keep it so him and the agency gaslit whoever was trying to take it away into saying it was just a big ass cat
anyway the tigers name was asta (which was a name of a girl i knew in middle school funnily enough) and she was v/ loved
fukuzawa overfed her a little bit mayhaps but atsushi cant prove it yet
dazai tried to train her to eat ppl he didn’t like but atsushi found out and got upset so he had to untrain her
kunikida scolded atsushi for having a pet tiger but was the first one to gaslit whoever came to take her away
ranpo rode on her back
for some reason kenji’s cow was best friends with her but i feel like logically asta would try to hunt it idk it wasnt a logical dream
anyway the tiger was the agency’s cat but atsushi took care of it the most
the tiger loved loved loved akutagawa becuz he either helped atsushi smuggle the tiger to the agency or just becuz like father like daughter and one time the agency accidentally let it out and it tried to find akutagawa
becuz of this akutagawa is atsushi’s pet sitter
the tiger thinks that rashomon is a toy - akutagawa says its becuz of atsushi and atsushi says he’s delusional
anyway there wasn’t any plot just a tiger owning a tiger
oh wait
there was one thing about akutagawa saying he was cat-sitting and chuuya getting excited on seeing a little wittle kitty cat and asking to see it but other than a tiny kitten it was a huge ass tiger that was unfortunately trained to attack tiny hat wearing gingers
#atsushi nakajima#akuatsu#akutagawa x atsushi#bungou stray dogs atsushi#i get my best ideas in the time period after waking up and like actually waking up but i rarely remember them only the joy they brought#bsd atsushi#Dazai Osamu#bsd chuuya#bsd kunikida#bsd fukuzawa#ada as family#the ada#Ada#armed detective agency#armed detective agency as family#the armed detective agency

Actually, I think that Gerald seemingly being alive and present during the movie in some sort of way could be interesting and lead to some cool confrontations between characters.
Like can you imagine how Shadow will react when he realizes that this guy, who was essentially his dad that loved and raised him, manipulated and brainwashed him into destroying the planet on a semi-suicidal revenge quest.
#sonic movie 3#that rarely gets brought up and shadow never really gets to confront him on that cause he’s already dead#but imagine the pain realizing that you’ve been used by your father like a tool#tricked into going against Maria’s real final wish

what if i said i actually love too weird to live, too rare to die and think it’s underrated. what then.
#idk at least the time i’ve lurked around p!atd fandom stuff it feels like no one ever brought up this album 😭😭#vices and virtues too but at least then there was still leftover ryan ross scraps to hold onto#but like. idk i like the dark las vegas vibes of twtltrtd#i’m not the biggest fan of this is gospel but once you get past it it’s got some bangers ngl#one super minor gripe with the album is that i think the brobecks version of far too young to die is better than the twtltrtd version#it’s minor but it’s true. listen to both versions of the song and you’ll understand#my only real complaints though are just with the lyrical content of girls/girls/boys and casual affair#i like the songs themselves but the lyrics….. who let them cook actually#what was brendon doing. why are you singing about affairs like that whilst you’re a fully married man. ????#but honestly the transition towards the end of the album to more romantic songs is nice#i think it fits well and is a good way to slowly die the energy down without completely squashing it#the end of all things is genuinely a beautiful song but an even more beautiful ending to the album#the lyrics are brendon’s wedding vows and the piano is very nice#i like the effects on the vocals and i think they were a good choice to make everything even more cohesive#it doesn’t take away from the emotional value of the song and it also makes it fit better on the album than if it were just a regular#kind of piano ballad#but then also having collar full be the song leading up to it? even better#i fucking love collar full and agh. having it lead into the end of all things is perfect for it#it’s fun on its own but it’s even better in context i think#anyways. too weird to live too rare to die is an alright pop rock album. go listen to it if you want#me.txt

Consider Yelan's facial expression to be my own in reaction to opinions shared on both X and Tumblr, and I guess I'm in the minority of the 'loud ones', but I'm pretty excited for Natlan since that trailer, actually. The previous teasers left me a little 'eh', but this definitely got my hopes back up, and I'm back in the right spirits for it (and ready to catch some Pokémon.)
Now I wouldn't be me if I didn't touch on the salt that I've seen scattered across the dash, so here I go. Listen, I read people's objections and I see what you're all aiming at, but in that light want to note that it's often incredibly easy to point fingers (arguably too much so) at others while being, quite honestly, hopefully rather aware that many of our own countries, cultures, and its populations across the board (and no, I'm not excluding anyone here) would likely be just as easily guilty as MHY is with these things. And no, I'm not blindly defending them, but I also won't point fingers at only one without pointing them everywhere else as well, including those you might think would 'never do such things', because I'm absolutely certain that they would. /continues on in the tags.
#ooc. [ don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. ]#salt. [ that breathing sensation? remember it. ]#we all wear biased lenses. and no-- 'informing yourself through social media' doesn't make you aware of how cultures work/look.#people informing themselves through social media is the /worst trend/ that the 2000/2010s have ever brought us. it's insane.#i'm sorry i'm also very tired of people deciding who are minorities and when. and who is allowed to 'get away with things' and who aren't.#and who is guilty and who isn't. and how “everyone is supposed to do everything right” when most people don't even know...#how the culture of their neighboring country genuinely looks outside of simple stereotypes (and usually only bad ones).#we also need to ultimately realize that mhy is chinese. it has (uniquely) gotten a lot of praise for its presentation of japanese culture.#(from what i hear) which is incredibly rare for a chinese company (and others). and then...#it's doing cultures further away from its own less justice. it didn't exactly do mondstadt great. it played into stereotypes.#and then combined them from multiple cultures. same with fontaine. it played into stereotypes /yet again/ in the same way the west does it.#and not just stereotypes from one country and culture. but /several/. but do most people who aren't familiar with those cultures know this?#no. they don't. and why would they? look at even just the west. europe and north america think that they're similar. /they are so not/.#if WE can't/won't even get it right. and yet we pretend to every damned day; why are we condemning a country halfway across the globe?#and also no-- i don't think latam or africa would portray china properly. or france. or the states.#... but you know what all this'll still do? cause people to look up and go 'hey this is so cool-- i want to know the inspiration'.#and people will still look into it. and people will learn.#and people will be drawn to them in life outside of their homes. or at least the ones who want to touch grass. and maybe even foreign grass#sanity knows i've looked infinitely more into chinese culture and customs because of liyue than ever before. with a much higher...#interest than i've ever admittedly had in regards to china. /ever/. just like i've had other games do the same for other cultures...#way across the globe.

Epic Mickey irks me a little because while it's canon that Walt Disney existed in-universe, we get nothing about how he felt about Oswald getting stolen, which isn't nice because he was vocal about it in interviews even though he never mentioned Mintz by name.
The implication from Epic Mickey is that he and Yen Sid abandoned Oswald and other stuff in "Defunctland" for years and years and did nothing about the blot despite Mickey's success. Which I hate the implication of. Also, Walter Lantz is never mentioned at all, or even seem to exist in-universe, which doesn't feel good because Walter Lantz and Walt Disney were happy about him being the new writer for Oswald. You know that famous image where Mickey is waving to a grumpy Oswald while smiling and walking towards him? That was from a letter from Walt to Walt(er) praising him. Also, that song about Oswald that some Disney parades sometimes sing? That was from Walter's show.
I've heard that the real reason why Oswald suddenly vanished from print, animation, comics and all was because he shared a name with the assassinator of JF Kennedy, in 1963. Since then, he wouldn't appear in anything until a few unnamed cameos in early Woody Woodpecker video games.
I think that being associated with a murderer despite having done nothing wrong, and then having your entire existence seemingly vanish into nothing is significantly worse than the "tHe cReAtOrS aBaNdOnEd hIm" thing that Epic Mickey went for, which is grossly oversimplified. If you're going to write metafiction, at least don't make erase a bunch of important irl people from existence?
Maybe we could have mention about something terrible happening in 1963, that made him vanish like that? Not even being under Disney's care would protect him from that. There could be a bit of metafictional commentary about how cartoons are seen as representations rather than people, and they need to please an audience who has the predisposition to associate them with things they had nothing to do with, and sheer coincidences can utterly break a career, and how maybe if you're not famous enough, you'll be hit way harder than someone popular. Maybe all the characters are aspiring hard for fame because they're afraid of how quickly public opinion of them can change, and how little control over they have over it.
IDK, I just like Lantz cartoons. I don't like how Epic Mickey treated him.
I think the reason we never got Walt's feelings (assuming this is whose feelings we're talking about) about Oswald is because Walt is not a character in Epic Mickey at all, he's a memory, a figure just meant to link Mickey and Oswald. Heck, he's not even brought up by name, he's only referred to as "He". And if that's the treatment of a human who is the "father" of our main characters, then yeah explains why other humans like Mintz and Lantz were never mentioned either. The humans are not important to the story even if they play a major part in the actual real life story.
And because Epic Mickey has deemed humans as not that important, a lot of metafictional components of toon stories that involve humans are just... never brought up. Or never expanded upon outside a few blurbs from Gus.
I feel like Oswald and Mickey both would've had A LOT to say about having to grapple with an audience that has associated them with stuff they were never involved him (Oswald, the presidential assassination; Mickey, the greed and apathy of the current Disney company). Though I guess not really for Mickey since the Evil, Capitalist Mouse thing wasn't exactly mainstream at the time of Epic Mickey's release. But in current times, this would definitely be something they could bond over. How Oswald got thrown away and how Mickey is being villainised for something he as toon, who is second class to humans, has zero control over.
#precious gets asked questions#human creators rarely ever get brought up in other toon metafictions as well#not even in the crown jewel of toon metafiction that is who framed roger rabbit#the creators are not seen as having much input in the lives of the toons honestly- the toons seem to be more at the mercy of the-#-audience and the companies that own- which is very a lot like real life#epic mickey#epic mickey rebrushed#mickey mouse#oswald the lucky rabbit#walt disney#walter lantz

Spontaneous reminder to save the kind comments and thank you emails/DMs that you receive in your life, even if it seems small in the moment… you’ll happen to have that printout of that nice email on your wall on the day when you need it the most, and you’ll be glad you did it.
Also: if you can, try to be the reason someone prints out an email to save for a bad day
#brought to you by the email I just printed out and pinned to my cubicle wall#it recognized that a lot of my work is behind the scenes and that it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves#so the sender wanted to make sure I knew that my work is appreciated#stop I’m already crying!!! stop!!!! stop!!!!!!!#i have a corner of my cubicle wall dedicated to saving thank you cards for this very reason#because that sender was right! my work is often used to promote others and I so rarely get credit for it#it isn’t really my place to ask for credit in most situations either… and add in the fact that my coworkers use my work without even ASKING#I am very disgruntled about this dynamic right now and I swear this person read my mind. somehow she knew#my coworkers get showered in praise for the work that I do and it just. it means a lot to get that one little thank you card#gonna go curl up in a ball under my desk now…
