The state of redacted tiktok right now...

[whelmandromeda]

Very big rant about the redacted storyline being misunderstood

saw a tiktok of someone complaining about the timeline “handing out answers and spoiling everything”. Though I had read every event of the timeline, I have yet to come across information I had not already known about. (Excluding the very interesting information about how the Solaire clan came to be) I am becoming frustrated with people on tiktok not considering the context and complicity of the storyline. Considering the timeline, Erik had said that these weren’t spoilers about things to come but confirmations.

I saw another tiktok disregarding the importance of the Inversion; saying that the only purpose it served was to traumatize the characters (—I do recall in their previous tiktoks that they were not interested in the “lore” side of things. Which is ok! But I wouldn’t recommend talking about it in such little consideration or knowledge.) I believe that the Inversion served many purposes and will most likely be a opening for bigger things to come.

Additionally, the recent Bowling video, which has already been discussed. People over on tiktok are taking the DAMN relationship out of complete context without mentioning previous discussion of said relationship. This is specifically towards Lasko and Gavin’s relationship. Not only had freelancer allowed the flirting to continue, they also joined in on the teasing. Freelancer’s dynamic with the elementals is also not being considered. It was mentioned in earlier videos (and implied) that freelancer is quiet and a person who listens more than talks. Freelancer was probably sitting back and enjoying their closest friends getting along. That’s it.

But I guess since every character can be a self insert, every insecurity, opinion and action must reflect onto the listener—and if they do not think, say, or do the same thing you would do in a specific situation, then something is clearly wrong with the character and not the person inserting themselves onto the listener/s. Are people forgetting that this is Erik’s story and not yours? That, yes, the listeners can be self-inserts, but they are still Erik’s characters.

I want to mention another post on redacted tiktok that believes that the listener characters choosing “peace” instead of “violence” was lazy writing. They were specifically calling out the Android and Freelancer. The android could choose what to do about Marcus after they were aware of what he was doing to them. The person on tiktok was upset the android did not choose to kill or harm Marcus. If they truly knew anything about the Project Meridian, they would know that it’s a project that is under the control of the GOVERNMENT. Plus, it’s implied that the Android does feel sympathy and probably knows that taking a life is against the law.

Now the freelancer argument; they are upset because freelancer didn’t want Damien to beat the shit out of Kody. Knowing freelancer, they’re whole character and storyline revolves around them being sympathetic and kind. I don’t even have to give examples of the times where freelancer considers their friend’s problems above their own. I know that Kody is very far from a friend and I am not trying to imply that Kody doesn’t deserve a harsh punishment. But, if the person who was complaining about the writing was in charge of the characters actions, I would complain that freelancer encouraging Damien to deck Kody would be out of the character entirely.

If anyone would like to tell me off for being ignorant and rude then I will gladly allow myself to be humbled. Maybe I am being overly passionate and defensive.

Okay. Hi, hello howdy.

Please please please do not bring whatever takes, controversial ideas, unsettling trends or whatever else Redacted Tiktok creates over onto here. Or, if you do insist on doing so- keep it out of the main tag completely.

Many people come to Redacted Tumblr to enjoy and find comfort within this series in this fandom- by bringing unnecessary drama from an entirely different platform of the fandom you will disrupt other people’s enjoyment of this side of our fandom.

We like to pride ourselves on being the calmer side of the fandom, yes? Then lets keep doing so. Let’s make the tag filled with creative creations, HC’s, questions people have- not uncomfortable drama that can be ignored entirely.

warning: more bitching about redacted tiktok because i guess i love to suffer:

there is literally nothing in the timeline that is new information (except for, arguably, aaron and elliot being brothers). all it does is confirm and contextualize a lot of the info we already had. 

take for example regulus’s bedtime story. i myself used to think that it seemed to contradict what vega had said about demons all coming from the same place, since according to the story, different types of demons have their own sovereigns who they answer too. i now realize that what vega meant was that demons and daemons are basically the same, and the difference is largely a cultural one rather than a magical hard line. this isn’t exactly new information, the pieces were already there, and it doesn’t ruin the entire story to have that extra context, at least not to me.

also, erik already gave away some of this “new information” in various monthly update videos, but i guess nobody watches those, lmao.

i think this is a classic case of the fandom assigning importance where it wasn’t really intended by the author, and then getting mad when canon doesn’t line up with their theories. 

i am once again forced to ask: what is redacted tiktok smoking
