7, 17, and 22 for the ask game

what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

i honestly started to get super burned out on fai d flourite which is crazy cuz i adore that man he's like the perfect disaster but his fans are so irksome lol

there should be more of this type of fic/art

i really wanna see more dynamic/intense fanfics that appeal to my likes and interests specifically. i'm not sure how to explain it cuz i usually just end up writing it myself fic wise. there's like 3 authors who i trust to do The Thing in a way that will appeal to me specifically

rn i really need a jill x clive x cid (ot3: the outlaws) slow burn fic that is as insane as those 3 are about each other like. they are not normal. i need it to be deranged. i won't get it! so i'm writing it

your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

i'ma be super honest i don't really focus on most fandoms that i'm in cuz i don't like care about other people's opinions on things i like. if they have an opinion i like awesome! great! otherwise i'll just ignore them and let them be wrong about whatever it is

like there's a lotta the times i'll just block someone cuz it's Weird Vibes so i don't actually have an answer for this question! i don't know what the fandom en masse is doing for anything i like cuz i ignore them <3

I can attest this was a typical onceler fandom experience and in some ways it still is.

The year is 2012. You log into your Onceler askblog, ask-helicopter-onceler. There's something in your inbox: "M!A you are an evil clone for 48 hours!" Oh boy, this sounds like fun! You send a message to ask-burger-king-fry-cook-onceler, who just happens to be Helicopter-ler's significant other. Since Heli's an evil clone for 48 hours, you make him drink all of Burger King-ler's Pepsi and call him a bitch. Burger King-ler's mod angrily confronts you in an OOC fanmail message calling you a bad friend because you didn't respond to their ask and because you spent more time with ask-fitnessgram-pacer-test-onceler and their mod. As a result Burger King-ler and Helicopter-ler break up over the Pepsi bitch incident and you draw the appropriate amounts of angsty fanart. You try to explain to Burger King-ler's mod that Tumblr ate the ask and you didn't see it, but they won't listen. You plan to try your best to make it up to Burger King-ler's mod while you and some other mutuals watch Youtube Poops on Tinychat later that night, but then you go to check Burger King-ler's blog to find that they've made their background black and made a post about how no one likes them and they're leaving the fandom forever. You see another message in your inbox. "M!A you are no longer an evil clone, but now you're a nubcat for three days!" Burger King-ler's mod comes back the next day as if nothing happened. Heli and Burger King get back together and Heli is suddenly pregnant with twins.

DOES ANYBODY HEAR ME

[a-onceler-sideblog]

Merry Thneedmas and Happy New Year to @skellietoonz! Heres the Onceler celebrating the holidays with some of the other Tumblr Sexymen. :D

[trinikins]

The end of the year is coming, and I wanted to once again do a little something to celebrate and show my appreciation to with the people who made my year a little better - my lovely mutuals!

So without further ado, from today to Januray 1st I'll be taking requests for holiday themed moodboards!

Here's how it'll work: if you wish to join, simply send me an ask with the theme you want, and I'll make you a 9 pic moodboard! Do you want to see your favorite character on a white Christmas? A moodboard inspired by a Yule log? Want to see what I make with your favorite holiday song? Go for it! Send away the charaters, festive object and vibes you want to see!

No limit for the amount of moodboard requests, so don't feel the need to pick and choose your ideas for this event 🩷

I will be posting your moodboards during the last week of December.

Once again, thank you so much for every single one of you, for making this year this much better for being on my feed and my notes. Happy holidays!

halloween or something equally liminal—as in borders between worlds get thin--to explain where her powers come from

but also! clamp explained somewhere that april 1st is also a liminal date in japan bec it’s the start of spring, school, their fiscal year (and boy do i know this so well LOL) so children born on that date are kind of in this “in-between” state

i saw someone else post this (so it’s not my theory) but i’m also now convinced that yuuko’s actual bithday is on april 1st, too ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

1, 16, and 24 for the ask thing

Thanks for the ask!

The character everyone gets wrong

There are a couple of characters I think that this could apply to, but I think the ones that grinds my gears the most is Heathcliff (from Wuthering Heights). Oh Heathcliff...

I really, truly don't understand why people read Heathcliff as a romantic (romantic as in love not as in the romanticism movement) figure. He's, not. He's so much not that if you didn't get the memo in the first part of the book, the second part of the book is just Emily going "look, look at this man. Look at how much he sucks. He's abusive. He's destroying his dead lover's son. He sucks."

This is pretty explicitly saying that Heathcliff sucks. So how are people out here romanticism him as a dark, broody hero (looking at you Stephanie Meyer specifically). Really I think it's cause adaptations cutting out the second half and because most people haven't read Wuthering Heights and only know it through cultural mitosis. But I'm still annoyed about it.

16. You can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

One that I don't think most people actually like is a shoujo protagonist who is just so passive as to decide nothing for themselves. This is especially annoying when the shoujo story itself is a compelling one. Two of my favorite shoujo (one is actually technically shonen but shhh) are like this, and it drives me nuts cause I adore the series themselves.

One I think is pretty popular is the yan-dere archetype. I just don't get it. Like I do get the idea of exploring taboo subjects in fiction, that I get. It's why murder ballads are a thing. It's why Lady Chatterley's Lover and the Red and the Black and the Scarlet Letter and like... Outlander are like that (yes I've read three Outlander novels; the first two are the best). People like the taboo. But like... every yan-dere fic I've read has just made me wish someone would shoot the yan-dere and relieve me of my misery. The only yan-dere done well is in fact not a yan-dere but a subversion of the genre... Shion Sonozaki (my beloved). Like... I don't get it.

24. Topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

God, so many topics. I think out of all of them the one that drives me the most nuts is people who are like "classics suck" or "I only read YA because all other books are problematic". Shoutout to the YA authors who were like "School literature like the Great Gatsby taught me being creepy about the woman I love is okay.

Like... genuinely y'all never read any of these books because what the actual fuck. The Great Gatsby explicitly shows how Gatsby's obsession with Daisy ruins his life. He fucking dies at the end. How is that supporting Gatsby's outlook on life? Nick says that Gatsby turned out alright in the end but Nick is an unreliable narrator and no Gatsby did fucking not.

Now don't get me wrong. This book - and most classics - has very real issues. Fitzgerald's antisemitism is very explicit. He was also, racist and homophobic and this is even more explicit in his other works (especially his short stories). It's important to discuss this when discussing these books, especially in class. Fitzgerald's works are flawed texts, as classics often are. A great deal are fundamentally flawed (holy shit Lovecraft) but they are still influential, and must be acknowledged as such.

And no this is not me saying "haha product of time it's fine". No that's a shitty argument. Brushing off flaws of classics is as bad as condemning all classics for those flaws.

Cause these books do like, mean something. Just because you don't like a book doesn't mean you can claim whatever of what it did, even when your claim directly contradicts the text. And classics should be looked at holistically. You can cherry pick the worst things from a great deal of them. You can also cherry pick them to be perfect and without flaw. And guess what? Both of these approaches are shit from an academic perspective. And from a viewpoint of the world. If you can only exist this way, your world must be so small.

Like, I dislike Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. The misogyny in it is at times so overwhelming that reading it was genuinely difficult. But I cannot sit here and say it has no important qualities. It's one of the most influential novels written by a black man in America. It discusses black nationalism, communism and race, various schools of thought amongst black activists, police brutality, the running of activist groups by white people and how an organization that may say they care about black people ultimately is indifferent towards their suffering. It also discusses the role white women have in upholding racism, in a way different from white men. Ellison's portrayal of women made me deeply uncomfortable, but I cannot in good faith say it's only because of his misogyny (which, to be clear, there's a lot of misogyny). Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable.

Invisible Man is a strange, surrealist, and at points beautiful novel. It's important, it's so important. I am glad that I read it. I don't think I'll ever like it. But I'm glad I read it.

Classics are like that sometimes. Most are imperfect, but I hope that one day our books now will be seen as old, outdated. It means that we will have progressed. Just reading YA because classics are flawed is ridiculous. YA can be good, YA can even be great. But no one should only read YA. If you care about a topic, read about it. Read theory, read nonfiction. Read more. Just read more, and more variety. Widen your world. A narrow lens is always a poor one to experience life.

Anyways, yeah. Classics are important. Their flaws should never be ignored, but neither should their strong suits, why they have survived the test of time. So stop acting like Hugo's misogyny means Les Mis is automatically not worth reading. I promise if you read it you'll find a critique of our worldview so poignant it will be moving. Even if you don't like it. (Which nooo plz don't dislike one of my favorite books lol <3).

Yeah... I think that's it. I rambled so much.

Do you remember the Onceler?

I remember the Onceler, but I haven't read The Lego Movie. (Nor have I seen it. My wife and son watched it one day while we were out of town.)
