#so I’m still baffled at times

[queerpanicking]

sometimes I’m just casually living my life and then I remember that one of the most popular ships in the aftg fandom became canon.

like it’s not just a collective fever dream anymore? We have a whole book with them? What???

[stealingyourbones]

Never will I stop with the steadfast notion that folks in the DPXDC fandom should interact with at least some form of canon DC media.

There are comics, tv shows, radio dramas both old and new, podcasts, movies, magazines, so much shit that intentionally avoiding the media is simply preventing yourself from spawning new ideas and gaining a new appreciation for a fandom that you’re already in.

The Superman Radio Show has episodes 11 minutes long. A lot of the TV shows don’t have episodes that surpass 30 minutes and most are nearly fully clipped on the official DC YouTube channel. The amount of fan made motion comics is astounding. The amount of fanmade animations is equally as incredible.

Listened to Saturday Night Again a few times on the way to work today (like an insane person) and it really has me thinking about p2/hiatus…

As much as they (and, sometimes, we) want to retcon shit, hiatus was really, really bad for p2/Patrick.

Imagine meeting your soulmate when you’re a young adult, and your soulmate-ism allows you to create musical magic.

Said musical magic catapults you into fame - a life that you never even imagined. Suddenly, you’re EVERYWHERE. Shuffled constantly from thing to thing, no breaks, no time to grow, media and fans constantly in your business and picking you apart.

In the face of this, said soulmate tries to protect you. Trying to keep you unscathed from this meat grinder, he ends up getting chewed up and spit out and fucked up, made even worse by his own underlying and unresolved issues.

You also have your own undiagnosed mental health issues and lack of healthy coping skills. So, obviously, this all ends up negatively impacting you, your sense of self, your identity, and your actions.

Neither of you are wrong or malicious or bad people. You genuinely love each other, but sometimes life makes love painful and unhealthy.

Toxicity and co-dependency can sneak its way into any genuinely good relationship. Painting either as the “villain” takes away from both their humanity and growth as people. In the grand walk of life, there are rarely villains - just people marching along and trying to navigate the challenges they are dealt. You’re bound to get lost sometimes, but, if you’re willing, you can always find your way back to the road.

That’s why that time apart was absolute shit, but the best thing for them. It gave them the opportunity to stand on their own and experience the growth necessary to be better people.

Then, ultimately, CHOOSE to stand together again because they realized that made them feel happiest and most complete.

Regardless of how you see their relationship, I think anyone can see how rare and beautiful this is. What many would have left shattered, they took and rebuilt even stronger than before. That’s NOT typical. It’s genuinely incredible and, damn, are we lucky to witness it.

sometimes I think about writing and singing music not because I’m an incredible singer but because no one has my fucking voice, especially in popular music, and its disheartening to be born a girl, told you’ll only get girl roles or try to voice match other girls, or ‘sing with the girls’ and then only be able to match male voices because you’re a fuckin tenor and not anything higher. I can’t think of any girl Broadway roles I can hit all the notes on. Most songs I love I have to pitch down for myself or use falsetto for singing along to. It bothers me a lot less now because I’m an adult who’s more secure in myself but as a teen in kids musical theatre it FUCKED with me, BAD style. And I know for a fact that even now when I hear people with a voice like mine singing I get excited and immediately invested in their work because they’re like ME, finally, for once. A brother in this world of being afab and having the voice of a recently pubescent boy forever. Maybe I should be that brother too.

ngl i find aroace grian headcanons a little odd i think thats the kinda thing u do to characters that dnt have canon sexualities so i think anyone that considered the yhs/ts as their grian shouldn't say grians aroace. like i know u can be gay n ace at the same time but i think its more about respecting canon than about that.

Anon. Anon is this really the hill you want to die on. Grian mentioned he liked men ONE TIME in Tokyo soul so headcannoning him as aroace is disrespecting canon. We’re talking about a Minecraft role play almost 10 years ago. Anon. Anon PLEASE there is so much wrong with this take that I don’t even know where to start. Do you think headcanons are supposed to be… canon compliant?

the thing that helps me sometimes wrt numbers brain is that the most popular fic isn’t actually gonna be the best fic, pretty much ever, bc the things people gravitate toward are the things that appeal to the largest number of people instead of the sort of weird offbeat passion projects i frequently throw myself at. the things that do numbers are bigger fandoms and popular ships and (often) watered down characterizations or popular tropes, none of which is what i really enjoy doing ninety percent of the time.

you know my thing with kaeya being a genshin character isn’t even so much abt how bad of a game genshin is or isnt (it’s honestly only partly that bc mechanics/gameplay wise it’s honestly fine and genuinely it’s fun to play it most of the time) it’s more that by nature of the kind of game it is he can never be the primary focus of the story for extended periods of time bc they need to constantly be introducing new characters and areas and plot lines which sucks so bad bc he IS important to the story despite being a starter character and there IS a lot of mystery and intrigue and there’s just sooo much interesting stuff to chew on wrt his character but i unfortunately have to be constantly waiting for his Exciting single scene where he talks for maybe five minutes before disappearing for the next six months completely and so it’s really frustrating that i have to just spend the entire time wishing he was back already LMAO

I just once again can’t stop myself from talking about how AMAZED—nay, ASTOUNDED I am at antihistamines making me able to workout and feel normal workout feelings and do cardio again for the first time in years. I now don’t even know how long it’s been since I felt like normal during a workout—it’s been at LEAST since junior year of high school, if not longer. I didn’t realize how not normal I felt until I felt fine all the way through a workout. I don’t have exercise induced asthma or lung disease or mitochondrial dysfunction I have allergic responses to exercise and heat and if I pound enough antihistamines I’m incredibly close to a normal human being. Shut UP. you’re joking. I could’ve done this years ago and I’m not SUPPOSED to turn red and itchy from cardio and gasp for air. It just took antihistamines??? Shut. UP.
