Sorry, it was unfair of me to send that to you without proper context since you might not be aware of these issues. Irredeemable media refers to any thing with a creator or content  that is harmful and/or bigoted. Of course every piece of media has problems, but irredeemable media is when those problems cannot be ignored and are an indicator of someone's beliefs. 

For example, Harry Potter is irredeemable media because every one knows that JK Rowling is a transphobe, but some other piece of media like Twilight would not be considered irredeemable because even though Stephanie Meyer has done some bad things, they are not as widely talked about, so someone who posts about Twilight on here isn't completely likely to be a bigot, but a Harry Potter blogger would. Also, I know the "to be cringe is to be free" people like your blog, but a lot of the time, what is considered cringey on here is actually based on what is irredeemable. No progressive person or reputable blogger genuinely makes fun of My Little Pony fans any more, however plenty make fun of Hazbin Hotel fans and the such because that content is irredeemable and shows someone's beliefs. So usually, a piece of media being considered embarassing to like on here usually indicates that it is irredeemable.

As for why the other pieces of media are irredeemable, Hazbin Hotel is made by a woman who has many well-documented accusations of bigotry against her and has drawn zoophilia art, not to mention how her work leans into stereotypes about gay people (having a gay man character be a sex addict, a lesbian be named after the female body part Vagina, etc.) or at least that's what I've heard. Attack on Titan is created by a known fascist and many illusions are made to nazi imagery and nationalism in the anime. Captive Prince has a racist premise that sexualizes slavery and non-con. 

People can tell you that liking irredeemable media doesn't say something about who they are, but that's fundamentally false. If someone is uncaring enough to still post openly about these types of media, it's clear they don't care enough about not supporting bigotry. Yes, even if they don't give money to the creators, because they are still willingly exposing themselves to bigoted or harmful content and enjoying it.

The previous ask was not meant to be accusatory. Rather it was meant as a concerned question. Believe it or not, there are still some users on here who indulge in these pieces of content, a few of which hide behind the excuse of being part of a minority (Black, trans, whatever) or simply deny how bad their media consumption is to escape accountability. I wouldn't want you associating with those types of people and have that ruin your reliability on this website.

Hopefully this ask has educated you more on these issues and you'll be able to spot irredeemable media in the future and block it out.

incredible essay, you get a C for Creativity

personal vent in the tags, feel free to ignore

[raksh-writes]

Vent/rant here, yet again. Under the cut, cause its ugly. I'm just throwing away my thoughts and feelings, so if you're still reading this, absolutely feel free to skip this for your own mental health ❤

.

So, I have written like 500 word of a conclusion for my thesis, which for a thesis and my giving up wrists is quite a lot, and now Im rereading it and thinking I will have to delete it whole tomorrow and rewrite it again.

I'm.......

I get that rewriting a work like this is prob normal. But seeing as my wrists are getting fucked up in the process again, Im just-... really at the end of my rope and my sanity over here xd I wanted to finish up today but that's not happening. I'm leaving deleting this part and rewriting it for tomorrow. I am, yet again, too tempted to throw it all to hell and just be done with it. Just - done.

I'll go take my meds and finish this breakdown so I can go to sleep or something. Fuck this all to hell, honestly

[mcmoth]

I'm going to spite everyone who's putting negativity on my dash and put positivity instead, fuck y'all /lh

Despite c!rivals duo being in no ways canon and me hating when it's used to shit on other characters, people who are doing it for purely fun and aren't bothering anyone with it are cool, because fanon is fine and good as long as it's not used to attack people. I'm glad y'all are having fun 👍

I might not like c!emerald duo writing wise, but their vibes are v soft and endearing, and I like seeing art of it that's just them hanging out, it's very warm....

C!Tommy and c!Niki...... i do not hate c!Niki, and yea, she done goofed, and yea, I hope that's expanded upon, but i don't think she actually commited anything worse than c!Tommy has, considering.... yea, what she planned was terrible, but she didn't. Actually succeed?? Like. Idk, she's not as terrible as y'all make her out to be, to me. Also, I really want more interactions between them.... please......

I do not understand c!Ranboo hate, I just don't. Yea, he's not perfect, but who is??? In the end, he's still just a teen trying his best in a world that's so messy. I just don't get it, sorry 🤷‍♀️

C!Bench trio is so comforting because they embody the fantasy of fucking off with your friends and finding a stable home with them, lore drought might have held back some additional development, but they've still grown a lot together, and I love them,, <3

C!eternal duo..... where are they. I need more content of them, they are so interesting, where are they;;;;,,,,,

And before I lie down, C!Tommy and c!Fundy. I could go on for so long why i want them to interact more. Why I want them to just,,, talk. Please, they have so much potential...... if clingy duo are my real two special boys, c!prank duo, as I like to call them, are the hypothetical two special boys in my head that noone else but me understands..........

So ya!!!!!

The Phantom's Letters

[I had fun with this]

—

Uh...hey, I guess. 

I don't know how to start this, but I'm your…son. I think? Maybe clone. Still trying to figure out the details of that. But I just wanted to send a letter. I don't want a reply, but I just wanted to let y'all know I exist. It would feel nice if you did. 

And, uh, I don't have anything else to say, really? I have a sister. She's my adopted sister, so she's not related to you, but my sister says that writing letters is one of the ways you can vent your frustrations and organize your thoughts. She wants to be a therapist, so I'll take her word for it. I guess this is just my way of being angry. I can't be angry any other way, too many people would get hurt. 

So if this works out, expect more angry letters in the future? CW says that bottling up my negative emotions and keeping everything to myself will lead me down a dark path, and I'm trying to avoid the end of the world, thank you. So you're gonna be my outlet. My...trashcan. Ew, no. That sounds like the title of a weird porno Johnny made me watch once. I just need someone to see the ugly side of me, without expecting anything else. Right now I'm just basically yelling into an empty void, trying to be 'healthy' about my feelings.

Sorry. If you don't like the letters, just burn them or something. I won't care. 

Anyways, uh. See you next time?

Ancients, this is still weird. CW said it was helping, though. So that's good. 

I failed my English test today. I didn't mean to. I even studied all weekend! But Boxy decided it was the perfect time to get into a fight with Lunch Lady, and we nearly had another Nasty Burger Incident. By the time I returned from breaking them up, the class was over, and I got an automatic zero. It was an important test. Like, a state one. I'm still...sad, I think. 

I'm not sure. I know I'm disappointed in someone, but I don't know who. Myself? Lunch Lady? Boxy? The teacher? Whatever. As long as I don't cheat, it's not the end of the world. 

Being a student sucks major ass.

hehehehehehe

I played a prank on my friends today! I turned everything upside down in their lockers and switched the colors of their clothes. It was really funny, even if they gave me shit for it. I had some help from Sidney Poindexter, this guy I know, so everything was right at the end of the day. 

Sidney's a pretty alright dude once you get to know him. He hated me at first cause he thought I was being a bully to this jock kid, Dash. When in reality, I’m the one being bullied. That day Sidney caught me messing around, I was just trying to get some payback after Dash did something really nasty. It was really weird, looking back, cause Sidney suddenly got up all in my face and kept trying to defend Dash, thinking I was some horrible person. Eventually, the mix-up got cleared up, and I apologized to Sidney for reminding him of his trauma around bullying. He hates it for a reason. Don’t tell him I told you this, but Sidney died from being stuffed into a locker by a bully and being left there. Now I’m afraid of getting stuck in my locker, even if I know I can get out. And Sidney would never let that happen to another kid. It just…eats at me. Whenever Dash closes that metal door on me. It always feels final.

Huh. Am I claustrophobic?

I defeated Skulker again today! Whoo!

Who is Skulker, you may ask? Why, he’s only the most annoying and persistent bounty hunter I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. I don’t even have a bounty on my head! Well, except for that one from Walker, but Skulker hates Walker on principle and rarely teams up with him. Walker likes to put everyone in jail, even me! (Even though I think I’m his grandson somehow??) 

Anyways, Skulker just likes to chase me around cause I’m ‘rare.’ He wants to skin me for his pelt and display it on his island, even though he doesn’t like people visiting said island. So what’s the point? Also, I rather like my skin, thank you. I’ve already been electrocuted to death, I don’t want to keep floating around my afterlife with no skin. I’d have to ditch my organs, too! (Cause bones are more pleasing to look at, aesthetically) And then how would I finish school?

Oh and that whole ‘rare’ thing? BULLSHIT. Skulker regularly takes work from another one of my kind, and most of that work is making my life difficult. There are only four of us in existence right now, maybe five if CW’s hints are to be believed. But let’s stick with the four. There’s me, that fruitloop fucker, and then the other two who are still technically ME! (long story)

Well, enough of that. I blew Skulker’s head off with his own missiles so it’ll take him a while to reassemble himself. I’ll get a break from him, and that’s the only thing that matters.

I went to go see Frostbite today, my doctor. 

My kid is finally stable. She’s gonna be discharged next month. 

How do you feel about being a grandparent?

-Phantom

—

Well, I’m not gonna reveal names n shit cause then you might find me, but the kiddo wanted to send you a gift from the sickie bed. Drawing was something she took up to keep herself occupied since she can’t read much yet. Her ‘creator’ didn’t bother to install that knowledge, cause that would apparently lead to more trouble than it’s worth. But she's learning fast! She already picked up a few letters just from the nurse's documents. Granted, they're in the wrong language...

Holy fuck do I want to punch that fruitloop fucker. 

Anyways I’m keeping it short, the doc wants to talk to me about her recovery and medicine plan. I attached the pictures below. 

-Phantom

—

I hurt someone today. I didn’t mean to.

Please, believe me, I didn’t want to. That damn clown-

It hurts so bad. I can’t breathe and my core feels like it’s breaking.

People are flinching at me now. I can still feel bones breaking under my hands, and I can’t remember if blood was spilled. Why me? Why can’t I remember? My friends won’t tell me what I did. Not all of it. 

I know I did something bad. I didn’t-

I can’t do this anymore.

-Phantom

—

Okay, so I’m all better. What’s a little mind control for the trauma list, eh?

Don’t worry about me, I’ve gotten over it. As long as the people close to me know I wouldn’t hurt them on purpose, it’s all good! :D 

Some of the townsfolk kinda hate me now, but I just avoid them. In and out, just get the job done. The others don’t mind. They were affected too, so things will be quiet while we all recover. 

The kiddo is doing okay and is asking about you. I told her I don’t want replies, but she still wants to send a letter. You might get one soon.

-Phantom

—

Hey.

How the FUCK does one handle being a king?

Asking for a friend, thanks.

-King Phantom

P.S. I am not the one putting that signature down. Sorry about that, I’ll get it fixed.

—

Hm. I think it’s fixed now.

-Phantom 2, Electric Boogaloo

—

OKAY, NOW IT’S REALLY FIXED. THAT LAST PART WAS A PRANK FROM MY FRIEND I AM SO SORRY.

You’d think that writing on fucking parchment paper would make it difficult to change one’s signature after it was written in ink. But nope. I just had to make friends with a time lord and teach my friends old magics.

-Phantom

—

Just a heads up, I’m gonna come out to my parents tomorrow. Er, adoptive parents. About my death. About everything. They're ghost hunters, so I may or may not disappear for a bit depending on their reactions. Don’t worry about it, I always come back swinging!

Danny finds out hes a clone/ adopted, and instead of processing that like a normal person he decides, "Well its not like they can find me so imma mess with my bio parent(s) while venting my frustrations. Two birds with one stone."

Hence (hero or villian of your choice) begins receiving letters via untraceable magic of him telling them he's thier clone/son and just telling them about his day/past adventures.

Unfortunately most of his adventures are horrifying and the person is desperately scrambling to find thier dumb (possibly undead) child and rescue them.

It probably doesn't help that Danny only signs his name as Phantom and is careful not to give clues to his location.

[scaryorganmusic]

sorry this is really petty but like. this drama is so funny bc ultimately ppl are being accused of liking w*ncest just for like. being mildly dean critical. babes you know you can just block people for disagreeing with you. it doesn’t have to be that deep. in fact it’s literally the only way to survive fandom with more than a quarter of your brain cells left. anyway I’m a dean stan bc I imprinted on him as a child but when I see posts about how he sucks I either agree, disagree and ignore it (and sometimes just unfollow bc I’m curating the most fun online experience for myself as I should), or just say “that makes a lot of sense but it makes me sad so I’m just writing it out of my personal secret good spn”. It’s not that hard.

also like. fellas is not wanting to talk about incest on the blog you run for fun the same as supporting incest /s

also also. the cycle of destiel shippers being annoying and condescending to non destiel shippers -> non destiel shippers understandably deciding they dislike destiel shippers -> destiel shippers being offended for being called annoying is SO funny. tony you CHOSE to do that- like I ship destiel and even I think you’re annoying lmao

Okay I don't plan on talking about this too much anymore but I'll take this as an opportunity to address some things

It is wild how lightly people are treating very awful accusations here. I understand being suspiscious before following someone, because I have accidentally followed people who put that content on my dash (untagged too! because i do have it blacklisted) and it felt so gross. But people are just taking anything they don't like as "sus behavior"

Here are things I've seen people honestly mention that makes you suspicious: obviously being mainly a Sam blog, being "dean critical", being too intense about liking seasons 1-3, shipping sastiel (????), posting mainly about the brothers and not about Cas, criticizing an actor, being reblogged by one of them (even though we also hate when that happens! but it's not something we can control because i don't know every single one of them in order to block) and of course being associated with someone else that's sus.

And here's where I completely agree with what you said: people could just block others for all those things without throwing accusations around! You can just say "most of Sam blogs, or all Sam blogs who don't post destiel, are annoying as hell and i'll block them all" and that's fine! Or, better yet, don't say anything, you don't need to publically announce when you block someone.

Also yeah, a lot of people don't add banners on every post or post nonstop about how gross the wincest shit is because we prefer to avoid it and not be constantly thinking about it. I have the tag blacklisted but I don't do a deep investigation of OP of every post that makes into my dash, and that's kind of a wild expectation.

Quick note on the "dean critical" thing, I've never seen a fandom so weird about people critizing a character. The whole reason people started using the tag was exactly so we could still hang out with people like you, who love him and maybe don't wish to see negative analysis on him, so you could have a tag to blacklist instead of unfollowing! And although it's the bare minimum, I respect the honest attitude of "I know this happened in the show, but personally it's not an aspect I want to read/write meta about" instead of straight up denying stuff.

It is a wild cycle, with so many people (including myself) rejoining the fandom recently it's like you could see us going from "this is fun! i'm gonna follow a bunch of spn blogs" to "this is mildly annoying" to "i hate all of you, blocking spree". Not to be a hypocrite, I was onboard with destiel for most of my time in the fandom, I think I fell out of love with the ship partially because of my rewatch (and it shouldn't be that weird that rewatching something as an adult your perception on it changes!) and partially because of the fandom being so very Like That about it. And the whole fandom experience once you leave that ship is just very different. The bitterfication of the sam girl or whatever.

I do still have destiel mutuals who I appreciate very much, I don't even blacklist the tag because y'all have some amazing artists and I'm always up for fanart, even of things I don't ship (of course with the exception of gross ships).

Anyways yeah it is so infortunate that all of this happened but we move on, idk if anyone took the time to read all of this because it turned more into me venting than anything else but I also appreciate the support i’ve been getting from some of y’all

[tenitchyfingers]

I’m so glad i unfollowed that fucking edgelord because it’ll be the last time they put trash like that on my dash. How fucking dare you reblog posts that justify bullying like that without declaring any kind of disagreement like... fuck off. Bullying in school got me traumatized and with several issues managing my anger so seriously go fuck yourself. I shouldn’t have followed that person to begin with. 

[protectchatnoir]

hiiiiiii. so uh, I figured I'd make a post? about my writing and stuff?? so here goes.

(this is gonna be kinda long and I can't put it under a read more cuz,, tumblr mobile aha so uh,, feel free to just skip right past this aa srry ;;)

this probably isn't important to a lot of people, but I just wanted y'all to know, so here we are sjdhsjdbdh so the thing I wanna talk about is my writing I guess?? if you know me, you probably know that I write stuff on ao3 etc etc.

you also probably know that I suck at committing to anything and rarely finish things.

one thing that's been on my mind a lot is my series, Think Fast. if you followed me way back in 2017 akdhsjdh,, you probably know of Think Fast, Act Faster and how it was,, kinda a big deal for me back then?? Like,, it was my main fic and I put so much time and effort into it.

and, let's be real, it was a big vent fic. Things weren't so great back then and it helped me cope?? and then,, seeing all the comments on it helped, too. it was important to me, knowing that people were enjoying reading as much as I needed to write it. That made it even more worthwhile, I guess.

But the feedback started turning,, less nice?? Not negative exactly, but I felt like people cared less and less about how important the story was for me, and more about the quality or storyline or whatever.

looking back, that whole series is sloppy. My writing is bad, it's barely edited, there isn't much of a plot - but that didn't matter to me. I wrote it because I needed an outlet, something to help me cope - and it helped me.

but it felt like people were starting to get,, annoyed(?) with where the story was going. and suddenly writing it wasn't so worthwhile.

plus, I was recovering, I was getting better - and writing something so heavy was dragging me down. So I stopped. I didn't update. Dang, I wanted to get it finished by June last year. That didn't work out.

I want to finish it. It's on my mind, it's weighing me down. and half of my mind is telling me just to do it. That way I can put it behind me. But the other half is telling me to delete it and have nothing more to do with it, because it's a worthless piece of shit writing that nobody needs.

(I'm not going to delete it, I don't think.)

I want to finish it. It hurts, knowing that probably nobody will read it, and it isn't important anymore. That it isn't important to me anymore.

But it was important to me. It kept me going. It gave me routine. Something to do, something that I had to do, something that I couldn't just drop because people were waiting for me. It gave me something to hold onto during the literal worst year of my life. maybe even saved my life a little? idk haha

So I'm going to finish it. It's not important anymore - but at the same time, it's so important, and I can't let anyone tell me otherwise. I know my writing is bad and it doesn't mean anything to anyone besides myself, but it kept me going. And I can't just forget about that. (I know it seems silly that something so simple could help me cope so much, but seriously - anything that works, right? Whatever it is, you have to hold onto it.)

As for my other fics, I don't know. Writing is hard at the minute. I mean, I'm still writing, but not anything that you guys will see. Please don't judge me too harshly; I just can't find the motivation for it.

To those of you who do read my stuff, I'm sorry for letting you down and sorry for bringing this overdramatic negative monologue onto your dash skdjshd

if you're reading this, well, that's kinda a big deal too, because just typing this took a lot of courage and posting it is gonna take even more skdjskdbdjsdj

anyways, if you read this, just,, thank you?? skdjsjdj thanks for listening to my silly rambling and stuff. I just really had to get this off my chest, y'know??

so yeah. I'm gonna try and finish this stupid series. even if it takes all year.

and when I do, if anyone actually decides to read the whole thing, well,, I'd super appreciate that.

maybe it could help you understand me a little better, idk. maybe it can help you in the same way that it helped me.
