#sam's stupid rants

[spidey-x-male-reader]

Me: *innocently lives life*

Me: *gets an edit of a character from The Dragon Prince*

Me: *turns into a puddle*

...yeah totally off topic I might have to continue watching the show

”this show hates sam larusso” ❌

“this show hates tory nichols” ❌

“this show is lowkey misogynistic and will never treat ANY of its female characters with the same respect as the men” ✅

Honestly I feel for Sam but serves him right.

Even if we ignore the potential intermingling of the web or any other other spooky strings that are likely being pulled, there's a lot to unpack here.

I wouldn't say Sam "deserved" it, but Alice tried warning him for months. This is what he gets for sticking his nose in places it didn't belong.

Did I say the same thing about Jon in TMA? Yes and no. Obviously there isn't a story without someone doing something dumb, but I think Jon's situation and Sam's situation are a little different. Jon was an idiot, yes, but he (and everyone else around him) were forced to go in completely blind. He had no idea what he was doing and didn't have any warnings or help at all except from his creepy boss with ulterior motives.

Sam also went in blind, but he was warned several times by several people including the eldritch computer to stop and turn around. He could have avoided this if he just returned Alice's calls or looked at her messages.

But nooooo he had to poke around with his little crushy crush and get himself thrown into a portal to what we can only assume is the TMA universe. Serves him right.

i would like to say this isn't reletable but i've spent the last hour just staring at my laptop, trying to write something and at this point it isnt even funny anymore 😭😭

'I want to do this art project' 'oh what's stopping you? Just do it!'

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND IF ITS NOT A CERTAIN TIME OR OR WEATHER OR LIGHT OR FEELING I CANT DRAW???? I NEED EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT OR WHEN MY PENCIL HITS THE PAPER OR I WILL CRY

Sometimes I’m normal and other times I remember Dean’s canon daughter and how Sam never got hounded for killing her by the fanbase but Dean is still treated like mayor of cunt city for mistreating Jack. Obviously two wrongs don’t make a right and Dean was very much in the wrong for how he treated Jack, but the fact Sam is seen as better than him for it despite doing arguably the same thing rubs me the wrong way. And this isn’t so much a dig at Sam as a character but rather a commentary on how the fanbase kind of puts him on this weird pedestal.

He killed Emma. Sam made up his mind about Jack in the same amount of time he made up his mind about Emma, but chose to kill her and empathize with Jack. Dean didn’t have an obligation to Jack, he didn’t know him when they first met, but Sam had an obligation to both Dean and Emma as a brother and an uncle.

I know he acted to save Dean, however- as a sibling, I know that if I were to kill my hypothetical niece or nephew to save my sibling that they would hate me forever, and that is a fact that would alter my idea on how to approach the situation.

Often Dean is viewed as this huge piece of shit for his behavior towards Jack in the beginning, because “how dare he assume the antichrist and son of the guy who killed Cas would be not great” but meanwhile Sam gets off with not so much as a mention to the fact he killed a young girl because she was a monster.

Where are the lines drawn? What makes a monster a monster? Are they less of one when you see yourself in them? Or was Dean in the wrong because Jack became a more important character. Hell, maybe it all ties back to the fact that Supernatural seems to hate women, who knows.

seeing people call jared sam pisses me off so bad i can’t even explain it

Having to block everyone who has "wincest dni" in their bio not because I ship wincest (because I have come to the conclusion that I actually don't) but because I do think it'd be fun to poke around at the very real weirdness of their relationship that I've noticed in the show so far. And I'm 99% sure that my poking around will get seen as shipping.

being in a fandom but not being an artist is physically painful. There is so much you become unable to do- mock up headcanon designs, show off your OC, tell stories in engaging and easy to access ways, join drawing trends, not be able to do any individual ideas for drawings or animations you have yourself. It feels awful, like my wings are clipped, like I am a fish in a birdcage watching all the pretty birds flying around, calling out for others to join in- oh, and how I long to.

"Ooohh but you can just start drawing and posting your drawings whenever and whatever your skill level! No one will make fun of you-" WRONG. I have had multiple bad in-fandom experiences related to posting my practice art and people tearing me apart. I have seen beginner artists and, to my horror, disected their art in my head, judging it against everything I have seen in the past. It's awful, I wish I could stop, but sadly this kind of thing is hardwired into many non-artists (and some artists as well) minds. Sure, ten people may like my art and three people may praise me, but that's unknowable amounts more who saw it, ignored it, stared at and laughed.

And if you don't have prior experience drawing, or references, or any good materials/drawing mediums? If you are unable to keep up with drawing trends? Unable to perform or render or download any art or animation software? Well, you may as well be dirt. It's honestly feels like there's a whole cultural or class divide between artists and writers, as I once said I was branching out of writing and doing art, and got so much more praise than normal. All of this feels so fucked on so many levels. There is a reason I never post my art on my blog, besides it mostly being fuckass doodles, but even the pieces I am proud if never see the light of day.

I am just sick of how you automatically become "better" if you are a talented artist, and how everyone shits on beginners.

(This is based of my own experiences and I am tagging this with my own fandoms. Feel free to add on your own thoughts and expand fandom tags in reblogs.)

I'm gonna be honest with everyone

Until I saw people on tumblr discuss it, it never occurred to me that Asterix and Obelix could be queer.

Like yeah, now I see it, and it's obvious how they'd give that impression, but I never had the thought for over thirty years, even though I read the comics dozens of times as a kid, and I now realise that at least one of them at one point had veiled references to the oddness of two bachelors basically living together

I would say yeah that's heteronormativity for you, but also I am just very clueless ok?

there is a special place in hell for season eight of supernatural

[that-starry-freak]

"I have an illness"

"Is it homosexuality?"

"No, a virus"

"Oh???"

I had a vision and I had to draw it- (also Solar is bald because Nexus has his goggles)

This is based on a conversation with me and my friend- wr were on video call and they said it out of nowhere so I assumed they were texting their bf. Nope, they were just having chronic pain. The actual conversation was:

"I have an illness"

"Is it bisexuality?"

"No, lupus"

"Oh"

That lives in my quote book because its so fucking funny to me, and I was looking at it and I was suddenly like "WAIT-" and immediately drew this

So- yeah. Tbh it feels like a meme format lmao- idk why it just does

[spidey-x-male-reader]

Well guys I'm back and it's only been *checks notes* THREE MONTHS?? that can't be right...

Tw: KoV, mention of r@pe

.

Hot take.

(Maybe, not sure if anyone cares about this, it's me just me ranting).

I don't like it when people have headcanons, write fanfics, make art etc, about KoV that in some way ignore or invalidate the fcked up stuff that happens in it.

First off, I, personally, think there are two ways to interact with KoV.

1. Ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.This is, honestly, probably the best and most logical way to deal with KoV. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with logic, so I'll have to settle for option two.

2. Talk about and explore the (unnecessary and extremely mishandled) themes of KoV.

What I don't like is when people create KoV content, but they just ignore the stuff that happened, like it doesn't exist.

Or when people headcanon it was 'all just a dream' or some bs like that.

Now, obviously, I can’t control how other people interpret media. And, honestly, I'm a staunch believer in "a diversity of opinion is always better" cause if we leash how people can talk about a piece of media, all of the art we make for that piece of media is going to turn stagnant as we just retread the same ideas over and over again.

But nothing grinds my gears more than people not interacting with KoV's themes. Cause when you do, I feel like you let KoV win. If you write an au where Sam and Taurtis weren't assholes and nothing bad happened to Grian, or if you think it was just some boardgames they played, you let KoV not be taken seriously!

You don't have to talk about the stuff that happened in it, cause they were just pretending in-universe! You might as well email SamGladiator saying that including R@PE in your MINECRAFT ROLEPLAY for KIDS was a totally normal idea, cause that's what you're getting across. KoV's VERY mishandled themes are so unserious you can just not talk about them when talking about KoV.

I'm sorry about that last paragraph, it might have been a bit far. I know people are having fun, I just don't think you can separate KoV from it's fcked up themes. Especially when Grian is involved. KoV has 10 episodes. Episode 5 is when it's uncomfortable themes start appearing. Actually, scratch that, episode ONE is when they start making jokes about sa.

For reference, it's after Taurtis states he doesn't want to go back to the dungeons, Sam asks 'do the guards visit you at night?' Obviously meaning 'do they assault you?' It's episode ONE and c!Sam (and, also cc!Sam) can't stop himself from joking that shit.

Honestly this just makes me really mad and, along with KoV Sam and Taurtis being irredeemable, cruel assholes who know exactly what they're doing, is the one hill I'll die on.

Me watching the MGAFS/LAES episode today: Okay these aren't too bad, like these episodes enough besides the ending of one...

Me watching the TSAMS episode today: ....What. The Fuck. ARE THE WRITERS DOING, THE LEVEL OF CRINGE AND EDGE OMFG-

I'm sorry, I love BloodMoon still platonically as a character, I like Sun, but my god it feels like...15 year-old edgy teen me level of writing and it's not like I could say this on the discord server because I, haha, might get banned or something, but yeah, this show is crashing and burning right now but I'll still watch for BloodMoon and whatnot despite him technically counting as an edgy character.

Maybe they'll save things tomorrow but maybe they won't and I'll get to see more of a car crash yippee
