wow interesting to see you putting thorki and terfs in the same sentence. that's a disgusting ship but WTF

[marimbles]

the agony of enjoying MULTIPLE THINGS AT ONCE. How do people do it….

[eerieangels]

re this post. ive deleted my archangelnun gender, but i think thats all the genders i have related to nuns/priests or sacred religious practices? (im not sure if saintancient counts but if it does just shoot me an ask!!)

on that note, i will not be taking down my angelgenders nor will i stop making them. i will be careful not to include certain sacred practices in my genders and if i do please tell me, but the disconnect from angels to religion has been happening far longer than the mogai community has been established (see: fantasy media for a plain example) not to mention the countless amounts of fiction and art that use angels in a non-religious or even metaphorical context. you can argue wether this is wrong or right, but because of this a lot of people get their distinct connection to angels from these medias and how the general public perceives angels has shifted. this applies to more things in modern day than anyone thinks.

alongside people having an insanely personal and complex relationship with religion which is . too much to get into in one post ..

the whole point of this post was to say that my entire blog is angel-themed, and i will continue to make angelgenders because of my personal relationship with “angels” as we know them. but!! i also want my blog to be a safe space for anyone with a connection to these creatures, be it religious or not. if my content is ever making anyone uncomfortable, please tell me and i will edit or delete the post as to not cause anyone discomfort. sorry for the long post, ty for reading through this if you did!

need to go back to enjoying kpop without engaging in fandom spaces

[kalach-cha]

idk why but so many gifmakers online are absolutely insufferable. like you'll see the most gorgeous sets from one person who's in a bunch of your fandoms, and then you'll scroll and see the most heinous takes floating about on their blogs

[sege-h]

The kids are not only not alright but theyre just downright stupid rn

[iamnotmereally]

idk how to make ppl understand... there is literally no need to get defensive over someone shipping some random ship as long as they are not hurting ppl

[opossumfury]

Overall I very much enjoy the MASH side of tumblr, I love seeing the headcannons and things people come up with. But occasionally I get tired of the shipping of everyone and wish people would appreciate the characters friendship a little more without making it sexual or romantic

*and before anyone becomes an asshole, just because I get tired of seeing something doesn't mean I think everyone should stop what they're doing and cater to my wants. You can do whatever you want forever

I often see posts about curating your own online experience that make the point, “content creators aren’t your parents.” And, yes, that is absolutely true! And I try not to be like “as a parent,“ but as a parent…

EVEN PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE READING/VIEWING BEHAVIOR. NOT filter everything ahead of time for their kid.

When my kiddo was 5, his pediatrician was asking him the usual Well Child Visit questions (“What are your favorite foods? What do you do to get your body moving? Do you know what to do if you get lost in a public place?” Etc.) and she asked, “What do you do if you see something on TV that scares or upsets you?”

I piped up like, “Oh, he doesn’t watch TV without one of us in the room,” which was true at the time and is still largely true now. She said, “Yes, but that won’t always be the case, so make sure you’re talking to him about what to do if he sees something that upsets him.”

So we started talking to him about that, and the answer is simple: “Turn it off or leave the room, and talk to someone you trust about what you saw and what you’re feeling.”

The answer is NOT “Ask your parents to make sure you never see anything upsetting again,” because that’s just not possible — and ultimately that would be doing the kid a disservice, since sooner or later he’s going to be out in the world where we can’t control what he watches or reads. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to make sure he’s watching/reading age-appropriate stuff, it just means that’s not the only safeguard he has — and that’s a good thing.

So yes, content creators aren’t your parents and aren’t responsible for making sure you never see anything you don’t like — but also, your own parents should have taught you what to do when that happens. So if they didn’t, take it from me, your internet mom:

Turn it off.

Walk away.

Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling.

And leave the person who created the thing that upset you alone.

Soo it happen again huh

[tragicclownwrites]

🤡

[succubi-tch]

I know that we make those posts for the supposed Twitter/tiktok/reddit refugees that are migrating here that don't know how to use this site, but if I personally see another "reblog artists' original work!" post I am going to explode like a pipe bomb and take you all with me.

Also if you could all stop doing whatever the fuck this is that would also be great

[after-the-end-times]

Like 10 minutes after turning anon back on I got anon hate. This is the only fandom I've ever been in that this has happened to me.

If you can't sign your name to your hate message then maybe you shouldn't be sending it, hm?

[starrcrossrose]

The absolute ugliness I’ve seen in FANDOM COMPS is really truly astounding. And HOMOPHOBIA??? SLURS??? IN THIS FAN SPACE??? Get outta here anon.

I want to make myself so so so clear right now. If you’re gonna be an asshole, I do not want you anywhere near me or my friends. Sun and Sha do not deserve to be spoken to this way by anyone.

You lost to Ana, You ugly faggot

I was wondering when you'd show up.

To set a few things straight, I am... so hot. Not to be vain and vapid, but I am not the one to sit around and take the word ugly to heart. Ugly? Ugly??? Wash your mouth, I'm a smoke show, and I'd never hide this face.

Second... how presumptuous. I'm not saying we're going to win. Certainly, it looks like we are not. And if we do not (and I hate to break this to you), life will go on. I'm not sitting here worried about winning or losing. We joined this comp for fun. On a whim. It's really just not something I'm worried about, one way or the other. Feel free to interpret that as you like.

And lastly, when I said I was wondering when you'd show up, I meant that. I expected it. Why expect less, honestly? It's sort of your MO, right? I say something radical, like- I support lgbtq+, and you show up with all the bells and whistles. You're very predictable.

It does make me wonder… does my competitor share this sentiment? That's where you've come from, right? Certainly she wouldn't condone this sort of talk. I wonder if she appreciates having fans like you? Throwing around slurs, being openly homophobic- well, not openly. You are on anon, aren't you?

At any rate, the next time you want my attention, come off anon. I know you won't, you have the spine of a worm. It's easy to be ugly and hide (I wouldn't know). But if you want to engage, you'll need to show me that face.

Hey btw to all the TikTok fellas coming here from TikTok because of the ban, REBLOG.

REBLOG POSTS YOU LIKE

it helps circulate and boots the posts! Likes do Jack NOTHING to boost the posts.

And learn the unspoken rules of the site. For example: you don’t have to censor your words, you can say kill, you can say fuck, you can say lesbian ffs

And don’t start petty drama when it could’ve been a conversation/argument in a DM or you could’ve just let it go and ignored it.

Otherwise people are going to leave the site.

Literally almost nobody cares about your callout post.

Literally almost nobody cares if someone is a proshipper.

You see that block button? Use it.

Don’t like a take someone has? Block them.

Don’t like how they talk about something and think they’re annoying? Block them

Learn to curate your own online experience. Please.

Anyways. Welcome to the hellsite fellas.

Fandom Problem #6606:

Things people in fandom need to remember:

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you/makes you angry/makes you feel sick, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid the things that you do not like instead of seeking it out to tell people who do like it to stop making it. That does nothing good.

If you hate something, you do not need to tell that to the creators or state it publicly.

Use the back button, it is free to use.

You are allowed to ship whatever you want, but other people are also allowed to ship whatever they want.

While you are entitled to dislike or hate a ship, please be respectful and not put the hate in the tags for that ship.

If you see posts about someone liking a ship that you do not like, you do not need to hop into their DMS/replies and start arguing with them about it. Just ignore them.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove of. If you wouldn't like it happening to you, then they would not like it happening to them.

All the ship stuff also applies to characters.

Be kind and don't be an asshole.

Focus on the things you like instead of actively seeking out content you dislike to bash on the people who do like it.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get attention. People get annoyed by that and some will call you out for it which will just cause more drama, so it is best to just avoid it entirely.

Please remember that your own experiences in a fandom space are not universally shared. The perceptions you have of something differ from person to person, but it does not necessarily mean either of you are wrong.
