i learned about this piece of music in my middle school choir class, and the beauty of it is that you get to hear whatever is going on in the world! the piece is about experiencing the sound of the world in real time!! what do you mean you can’t listen because of protestors?? that would be a cool and unique version of “4’33”” that most people probably haven’t experienced!! and part of the point is that every time you hear the piece it’s different!! im very mad about this
Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"
#sorry op im not mad at you just jumping on the post#4’33’’ is such a cool piece of music to think about and i love it#iconic creation#if you aren’t going to accept the spirit of the piece then why even teach it??#the piece is meant to be somewhat improvizational because you cant control the sounds around you#coughing? laughing? people talking? protestors? a fucking air horn? if these things happen then they happen and the piece stays true#left for a second then came back to add a couple last tags#the protestor noises would be so in the spirit of the piece BECAUSE the piece itself is a form of protest in a way#you could discuss so many unique perspectives about 4’33’’ because of this experience#and yet#:/

ok now that bt is FINALLY bones, all i really have to say is fuck yall for real. there are some of yall that arent that bad, but the overwhelming majority of you guys are actually fucking awful. i have had twitter mutuals be harassed by yall, i have had friends harassed, ive seen people i dont even follow being called horrific things and insulting their appearances, and so so much more. one thing that really sticks out is the blatant misogyny that some of you guys present. the amount of men that have gone online and confidently called women bitches and sluts and whores and cunts and hoes is genuinely fucking deranged, and i hope you all know that. there have been bt stans in my replies and my inbox and in my business, telling me that IM in the wrong for stating my opinions on the weird ass shit theyve been doing, telling me that they "dont feel welcome" in this fandom, and that they feel like this fandom is toxic and etc etc etc etc I DONT CARE BRO. i have said it once and ill say it again and again. some of you guys are just not meant to be in fandom spaces. there are block buttons for a reason. you can block people and tags and literally everything under the sun but you continue to SEEK OUT shit that makes you mad or that you dont agree with just so you can hate on the OPs in their replies. you dont seem to understand that people can have opinions on what characters they like and what ships they enjoy, and that other people have the right to criticize them. i am NOT sorry and i will NOT apologize for how i may have reacted. i do NOT feel bad for you. we all told you that this wasnt going to last, the showeunner said it wasnt going to last. the ACTOR said it wasnt going to last. and instead of using critical thinking skills and media literacy training, you got tattoos for this ship, you spent hundreds of dollars on cameos from a nepo baby, and you spent days of your lives hating on and harassing people over a FICTIONAL TV SHOW. instead of being upset at LFJR for leading yall on, you attacked oliver stark for being "biphobic"??@?!?!??!!??!÷*×(!&×,@ for having an opinion on his own character, especially after he spent time becoming genuinely one of the biggest bisexual allies i have ever seen. after he told reporters that he was planning on playing buck as bi anyway, after he made post after post saying how excited he was for bucks storyline, and after he advocated for this character he loves so dearly. you jumped down his throat for no reason. i have absolutely no sympathy for you. i really do hope you follow lfjr back to SWAT and i truly hope he gets every single line and every single scene just to keep him off of my fucking screen. 🫶
#finally comes the time where i make an incredibly long incredibly incoherent rant about bucktommys#not all of yall are bad but all i have had is bad experiences with you guys.#also im saying ostark is a bisexual ally bc im NOT going to rpf in this post...maybe later as a treat#FUCK lfjr#FUCK bucktommy#and FUCK TOMMY KINARD.#911 abc#anti tommy kinard#anti bucktommy#if ur pro bt DO NOT reply to this i do not want to hear ur opinions idc idc idc#idc if youre “one of the good ones” i dont care if buddies have harassed you (right now) i really dont want to hear it#obviously there are bad buddies too. this isnt about them#this is about how me but ESPECIALLY my friends and the people i follow have been treated recently.#buddie#THE END

ayo! (wait this might be a bit of a jumpscare dishdks i apologize) i’m op of That Post and was wondering what your opinions were on the whole woobification thing? /gen
because it’s a Tiny Bit widespread within the dream apologists to sort of,, overdramatize stuff like l’manberg hurting him. like they’re not a 100% wrong but if you look at it subjectively you can see some sort of bias going into that sort of thing that makes the character’s mistreatment a bit more blatant and intentional which,, it really wasn’t? and there wasn’t That Much of it either. especially on twitter (tumblr is much better about it) people just jump to conclusions it seems and yeah. since you brought it up i was wondering if you wanted to write a bit about it from your perspective!
we’re kinda from different corners of the fandom but i still notice that once you are too attached to a character you start taking certain evidence and giving it more weight than it actually has. there’s a blurry line between “taking away a character’s humanity” and woobification and it’s extremely difficult to find a balance when said character shows pretty much nothing of his emotional life (e. g. putting up the intimidating villain act in front of only c!tommy, pretty much everything he does making rational sense with no emotional subtext) and a lot of the fandom instantly jumps to one side or the other while it’s like.
we don’t know by far enough to say “he’s traumatized” or “he isn’t traumatized” or “he was villainized and it hurt him” or “l’manberg didn’t affect him at all”
as a very analytical person people constantly jumping to conclusions grinds my gears, but that’s about it for my own view of the situation - sorry for the rambling.
in general i agree with you that both dehumanization and woobification is Bad and i really hope getting Actual Context sorts this out (e. g. him saying he was betrayed by his friends doesn’t mean it wasn’t partially his fault or that they were allowed to leave him, but it also shows that he did care about that happening. mentioning the cat doesn’t mean anything about what happened to c!tommy but it also shows that he did care about what happened to it. it’s just always interesting to get more information about the way he feels because he usually does a very good job at hiding it.) because man.
it’s like being stuck between a rock and a hard place, especially if you also are attached to the character and are expected to automatically agree with everything the people on “your side” say. it just ends up with everyone being mad and the character being mischaracterised overall.
oh wow hello! i didnt expect the op of the post to find me you’re right lol
and yes i agree! you seem to have a lot of very good thoughts tbh.
and by woobification, i mean exactly what you’ve already pointed out— the people who will say l’manberg purposely villainized dream, the people who will say wilbur faked his mental illness to manipulate dream, the people who are pretty much always talking about how badly dream was treated by people who were acting only fairly for themselves, usually.
for example people who act like dream was a perfect peacemaker before tommy showed up, or that tommy started most conflict. these are just actual lies that are told by c!dream himself to justify his abuse of tommy, and people fall for them incredibly easily because not a lot of people watched early dsmp and know that truthfully it was chaotic even then, and that dream was chaotic too. not to mention wilbur soot tried very hard to secede peacefully with l’manberg and dream jumped directly into war with no warning. and then people say he was forced into their war when, no, he started it.
theres also people who will say like, dream and sapnap for example are such good friends. i’m sure they cared for each other, but dream on multiple occasions has done horrible things to sapnap with no regard for his feelings (like leading fundy to sapnaps pets during the petwar, leading tommy to sapnaps pets during the other petwar and encouraging him to kill them, handing mars over to tommy to use as leverage against sapnap, etc). george he’s been less awful too but he certainly spoke over him and ignored his feelings enough that george felt hurt. he had places in his hall of attachments for beckerson and mars. george and sapnap were right to walk away from being treated like that.
there’s also what you just said here — “dream puts on a villain persona for tommy”— but honestly he acts like that around quite a few people (example: eret) and it’s usually when he’s revealing crucial info, which leads me and many others to believe that ‘persona’ is actually a more truthful version of him.
there’s the fact that he really isn’t safe for people to be around (or at least he wasn't before the prison) because he was planning to come up with ways to control every single person by stealing and threatening their attachments (some of which were not items but were living animals, or a real breathing person).
and then people will say dream was doing exile to enforce rules, or to keep the peace— when it’s very clear in canon it was a deliberate plan to get tommy on his own and into the prison. (from the way he was framing tommy for multiple crimes, and having sam set up the prison, and kidnapping tommy instead of correctly exiling him, all at the same time).
not even going into how he wants to kill and revive people for fun or make tommy immortal.
it’s just— ignoring all these actual facts and saying “oh he misses his friends, let’s get him some friends now” reminds me of like. when people would put flower crowns on pictures of serial killers. and then, there’s hardly anyone on the server who wasn’t subject to dream’s plans, so there’s absolutely no one i would be okay with him interacting with.
just remembered about the torture thing, and wow i still hate it so much. it’s someone’s sick revenge fantasy twisted into a way to get a manipulative villain sympathy, and it’s just gross to me on every account. i do think dream is traumatized-- just not by l’manberg, which was a conflict he started on his own terms. i would think l’manberg did affect him, because he was scared of losing control.
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again— my ideal ending for dream would be for him to be sent far away from dsmp to an island full of therapy animals and super strong therapists who have never met him before. and for him to get a shit ton of therapy until he becomes a halfway normal person. and then eventually he could get integrated into society again; but a different one with new people. (although maybe dteam + bbh + puffy can visit him, they might still like him.)
none of the people on the server (who have all been affected by dream) should be burdened with befriending him or rehabilitating him— look how that turned out with sam! sam had a personal grudge towards dream and it ended with the poor dude being tortured every day; and sam himself falling into corruption and literally cutting off his boyfriends arm. like we can all see thats fucking awful right?
no one who was affected by dream should have to deal with him ever again. and contrary to popular belief, that includes a LOT more people then just tommy. dream isn’t just tommy’s antagonist, hes almost everybody’s.
the only person on the server who might also be able to stand to help dream is techno, and that’s from sheer lack of ability to give a shit. but techno is probably THE furthest thing from a good therapist there is lol, and dream needs better then that.
this kind of just ended up being a rant about my thoughts on c!dream, so im so sorry op. especially since it was probably negative for you. i hope you’re doing very well.
i guess in the end it’s true what you said— people will highlight or ignore things based on what characters they like, and it’s especially easy to do in this fandom, where half the content doesn’t even get watched and then we become a big echo chamber of half-truths.
considering dream has hurt so many of the characters i care about, i almost can’t understand how he could be someone’s favorite or comfort character— but he is nonetheless, and it would be unfair of me to be rude about that.
essentially it just bothers me to see someone who was a perpetrator of accurately portrayed abuse and manipulation (using both those words in their actual definitions, not just as random buzzwords lol) being given the flower crown edit effect. especially since he’s hurt the characters i care about a lot.
ANYWAY all of that being said (this got LONG im so sorry op) i am so so excited to get dream’s pov, because although i disagree with his actions strongly i actually find dream’s character very interesting and cool, and watching his POV is going to insanely fun. i cannot wait to see what theories get confirmed or denied
ALSO incase it wasn’t clear this is all /nm at you! you seem lovely and smart, and neither of us can help what characters we get attached to :]
#c!dream critical#dream meta#og post#hey guys i would actually like some feedback on this one since i worked hard on it#rbs are okay and encouraged :]#my meta

I know lot of jc apologist come from cql but honestly I watched cql long before reading mdzs and it still didn't make me very sympathetic to him? I liked how complicated he was and his entitlement made him interesting to psychoanalyze buuuuut that's about it. Didn't he literally set a dog on wwx after capturing him? Among other things? In a way that was really fucking parallel to the one with wen chao? I know fairy is no cgi hellhound but it didn't make a difference to wwx and jc must have been at least aware? He's basically just madame yu w/ a dick and more power. Novel him even more so. I decently read a take about op being mad so many reconciliation fics have jc do all the work when wwx should actually grovel first and I had to do a tripple take. Still not convinced it wasn't actual jiang cheng writing that post
i think a lot of the sympathy comes from just how hard cql pushed wei wuxians connection to lotus pier, they made him really sentimental over it and you see him constantly being haunted by his time there and his 'lost family'. while in the novel, wwx was used to jumping around and making a space for himself anywhere. he spent about ten years in lotus pier, and at least a few of those were in a time of war. i have no doubt he was fond of him earlier years in lotus pier, mostly because he was mostly free to act as the child he was. but cql puts a high emphasis on both wwx and jcs relationship and the trio sibling dynamic in general. so i think that no only humanises jiang cheng in particular, but also makes it more likely for people to feel sorry for him, especially when it comes to wwx deflecting. in the untamed they paint it as this huge tragedy, and essentially a mistake on wwxs part, emphasised more by the fact that the timeline is more janky in cql so it kinda seems like the second wwx deflects from the jiang sect everything goes wrong for him. meanwhile in the novel wwx peacefully lives in the burial mounds for over two years after he leaves the jiang sect.
wei wuxian never really makes it out that he misses being a part of the jiang sect, im sure he thinks about how much more simple his life would have been if he could have continued to be their head disciple, but he made his choices and doesnt resent the life he chose. its why he makes no move to grovel to jiang cheng once he comes to life, he doesn't see himself as part of the jiangs anymore and hes happy with that, its not like he was ever alone. wei wuxian is like the personification of chosen family, and he actively chose not to have jiang cheng as part of that family anymore. i know a lot of people defend jiang chengs actions against wwx after he came back as him "being desperate to make sure it was wwx bc he just wanted his brother back uwu", they do the same with the fact that he kept chenqing (even tho in the extras we see that jc actually only kept the flute because he thought that out of everything wwx would go looking for the first, and then he would be able to take him down, falsely assuming that wwx would care enough about his fluet to put himself at risk but thats a different post). and i think people who watch cql do this bc idk the actor for jc looking at wwx sadly sometimes and cries more. jiang cheng sympathisers assume that jiang cheng is owed everything by everyone because he had a 'rough time' and is 'all alone' like the fact that his ending ends with him being alone isnt entirely his own doing.

On the female vs Male body in medical settings post - I understand but honestly? A lot of the loud trans activists claim bio sex doesn’t exist, just look at the jk Rowling issue that’s all she said and yet she’s being told to kill herself? Please, females are oppressed and are being bullied, please don’t ignore us this time when those you defend are the one silencing our ability to discuss our oppression? Please stop jumping down our throats for discussing our oppression.
No one says bio sex doesnt exist and trans people are not silencing anybody oh my god -_-
I have nothing against discussion of our oppression but that is no excuse to be transphobic like JK Rowling. She has gotten it into her head that trans women are some kind of threat to cis women. And you know how? By not questioning if something was hateful rhetoric or not before accepting it. Do that enough times, and one will be brainwashed into being a terf like she is.
Thats how terfs do it, they use our anger at real chauvinism (like only catering to male bodies in health and safety tests and education) to inject their fucked up idealogy.
People are not mad at her for saying that biological sex exists because that is an undeniable scientific fact, they are mad at her for pushing that fact to justify transphobia.
But knowing what I know now, I apologize if I sounded accusatory. I thought I made it clear in the original reblog that I didnt want to make assumptions and that I agreed with OP if they werent using a terf dogwhistle, but I guess I did sound kinda paranoid and im sorry for that.

riverdale 2x19
here are my thoughts/reactions to this weeks episode of riverdale. this wasn't requested but i posted one for another episode and it got a lot of notes (for me) so i'll do another one. this obviously will be including spoilers so i'm don't read under the cut if you haven't seen it/don't want to see spoilers! i've already seen this so they aren't technically 'first thoughts', but these were my thoughts when it happened. psa: i'm not a fan of jughead and betty. like at all. and sometimes archie. so if you're a die hard stan, who'll send me angry messages - feel free to because i love discussions!
- don't get me wrong i'm sad midge died but like...what made s1 good was the murder mystery plot. they 'solved' the black hood murders (if you think/thought svensen was the black hood then you're dumb sorry) way too fast which is one of the reasons why s2 is eh - are singing numbers gonna be a regular thing since the musical episode? i'm not mad but i'm just curious - lmao kevin being jealous of reggie comforting moose is a mood - also, i don't think moose killed midge or is the black hood, but it's gonna be so dumb if they don't consider him a suspect - especially since what he yelled before she was killed that was most likely a reaction to that weird fangs scene - we been knew (is that the phrase) that ethel sent them - why the fuck you lyin? @ moose - seriously tho moose the truth is gonna come out that you yelled whatever you said (i'm too lazy to figure out what it was directly) so you might as well own up to it now - AM I GOING CRAZY OR SOMETHIING BUT DIDN'T ARCHIE FUCKING SEE THE BLACK HOOD? WHEN HE WALKED INTO THE LOBBY OF THE PEMBROOKE AND SAW HIM BEATING THAT DUDE UP AND RAN AFTER HIM AND LOOKED INTO HIS EYES!?!?! WHY ISN'T HE TELLING ANYONE THIS ASJFJOA - "he was wearing a black hood" bItcH listen i believe that for whatever reason svenson was trying to act like he's the black hood but the fact that he was wearing... a black hood... shouldn't be your argument for why it's him - :(((( midge's mom sobbing is so sad - wtf was that look for penelope - LOOK AT PEA IN THE BACKGROUND OF CHERYLS SPEECH - mrs. klump SNAPPED - i could make a whole separate post reacting to the dumb shit betty's does in this episode. like her jumping to defend him? you've been trying since day 1 to get him out of your life since you brought him in. even though you saw how HAPPY he made your mother. i don't think he's behind the murders but why wouldn't betty want to investigate him? hell - i would want to investigate him just in case! - arch you're on to something - concerned veronica is so soft i love it - archie usually makes the dumbest mistakes (well he does a lot) but i'm so happy he's connecting the dots and realizing that the black hood isn't svenson - why is there such a weird gap between jughead and betty as the walk out of pops? like don't get me wrong, i don't ship bughead, but it's not because i don't think they have chemistry together. they usually have a decent amount. however, the gap reminds me of this cringy photo of my friend where he's 2 feet apart from his fav retired teacher and his friend. just saying - it couldn't be anyone...it'd yo dad and moose. he's going after those he tried to kill but failed to (tab) ps the black hood is such a shitty killer lmao like he got better with how he killed midge but when he tried the first time... - i'm not really a fan of varchie but ronnie saying that she doesn't even want to think bout anything bad happening to archie is supa cute - i can't stand hal why is he even getting screen time NO ONE LIKES HIM - archie caring bout fred warms my heart bc fred deserves the world. seriously. i love that man - archie made such a good point though bout how midge was killed in a full auditorium. like damn, the black hood really improved his game. even though i think it's the same guy, the same guy improving his murdering skills so much without practice is odd - IM ONLY 8 MINUTES IN UGH IM TIRED ALREADY - i feel so bad for ronnie she's being manipulated to the max. i'm happy she caught on rn but i can only hope she continues that trend ~ btw i'm sweetvee trash and @veeandpea (love you iswa thanks for introducing me to this ship <3) pointed out such a good concept saying how they'll get together after ronnie realizes how she's being manipulated. just wanted to share that - bosom lmao - hermoine exploiting cheryl's grief and determination is so annoying and sad - "i am cousins with cheryl blossom" lmao i'm happy she's not trying to pretend they're friends anymore - hold up...they didn't go to the cops after the busted cheryl out!!? what the fuck - it's actually so dumb that betty wouldn't consider chic maybe not being her brother ugh - there's like no family resemblance with that kid in the picture idk what you're on old lady - ope it's a morph suit! tbt to halloween when these were all the rage - since when did betty know how to fight??? - graham phillips (the guy who plays nick) is actually so hot like why did they have to make him a bad guy!!! - how did he get hotter?? it's the stubble right - the only mob storyline i like is in general hospital (a soap opera i watch with my mom) - "he's not blood" y'all did that blood thing?? isn't that the equivalent - i get why the lodges aren't going to help archie but they got him into this whole mess - when called her opinion piece a 'thought piece' the journalist in me shuddered so hard i hard i had to pause the show -i'm iffy bout the sherrif keller because he is shit at his job but he honestly didn't sign up for the big mess riverdale is - why is this whole episode not interrogations/why did we only see a few?? i liked s1 because it was a murder mystery and right now it's just feeling like a drama - THIS IS SO HEARTBREAKING I LOVE ALICE SO MUCH SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS - why would nick care about your dad lmao - holy shit kj looks horrible with his hair flat like that - how did veronica know that wad of money wasn't enough so quickly is she super smart or something cuz i like that headcanon - #praying that nick and ronnie's money exchange is gonna be discrete - why is this show so dumb YOU DON'T PASS BLACK BAGS BETWEEN TWO ANGRY PEOPLE OVER THE TABLE??? IM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU CW I'VE SEEN Y'ALL DO BETTER SET UPS THAN THIS - ???how did he know it wasn't all of it - !?!!?why didn't ronnie just say no trust me it is because he would've been like eh ok (probably) - that's an insult to reptiles - this scene is so so sad madchen is such a good actress - FP DIDN'T MAKE A SCENE HE JUST HUGGED HER WHEN SHE TOLD HIM AWW I LOVE THEM - if i was betty and i heard that ringtone i'd put my phone down the garbage disposal oops - actually no i would change my number so he wouldn't be able to call me - what's the point of her writing those words down other than to annoy the viewers who can hear the marker squeeking - i'm starting to like archie a lot more i'm happy - i don't think chic killed him, i don't know if the whole overdosing explanation is true but i don't think he killed him - hart denton is such a good actor i love him i hope he doesn't leave - betty and veronica are supposed to be best friends again yet veronica's going into this all alone? have they even spoken this whole episode? - "some sinner's only confess when faced with certain death" aye that rhymes - protective fp is my favorite fp - i love a man who's learned from his mistakes that put him in prison - veronica and nick look hot as fuck - (btw i don't like nick he's just hot as fuck) - she so roofied him - why didn't archie try and do that shit to get out before - is where archie is and where veronica and nick are even close to each other? - hal's probably like shit i should have stayed away from this family - oh my god she's talking bout grundy!! the first time i thought it was jughead's old one that ended up being the candy man - AHAHAHAA veronica's putting nick up for ransom - i still don't think chic killed the real charles - betty not shooting the black hood during this scene is so dumb. maybe even one of the dumbest. i don't know though. she's done a lot dumb things - :((( i really like hart i don't want him to leave the show - dead ass when i watched this the first time i thought 'remember when kevin got his dad really drunk so he could steal the files' and now that i'm watching this again....i remember that happened in teen wolf - he's a mobster how can he help with a serial killer - no more lies elizabeth cooper! - i've thought hal was the black hood all this season so i'm happy more people think the same!!! but seriously betty suspecting her dad doesn't really make sense

im not sending this to attack you and sorry if this is a null issue at this point, but the gwsn thing was probably because op literally said ‘i dont stan but,’ there was no indication that they were going to stan in their tweet. so for groos who have to deal with people solo stanning miya a lot and ignoring the group and not helping the group’s sales and streams when gwsn has almost gone a year without a comeback, we get tired and sensitive of people (especially bg stans) talking about only miya. gwsn’s creative director left, there’s no news of a comeback in sight, and gwsn is nearing their 3rd year with no music show wins. do you see how that could make fans irritable? anyway most of the 400 qts were saying to not gatekeep and calling gwsn nugu, so really the issue turned from like a couple groos being rude (there’s like 20 of us and i didnt even see the post so it’s a fair estimate that it was only like a few ppl being rude in the qts) to bg stans and non-groos alike being passive aggressive towards gwsn.
Yes, as I said I completely understand where the issue came from, to me it was more a miscommunication than someone saying they only cared about Miya, which is absolutely why I can see why someone groos got mad. I think a point I might have missed saying was that I didn’t condone anyone being rude for no reason, and that the tweet at least to me didn’t give enough reason for backlash since the op did say they had listened to a couple of their songs in a reply tweet. They would have listened to more had the fandom not scared them away, does that make sense? I think... it’s a difficult balance between actually calling out the solo stans who aren’t helping grow the fandom (and therefore help the group) and scaring away the ones that would have done. I don’t like solo stans for any group, as I said I think they can be disrespectful to groups, but I think there was a little bit of jumping to conclusions in this particular instance, saying “I don’t stan GWSN” I don’t think means the same as “I will never stan GWSN”, if someone does say something closer to that then there is an absolute right to be upset, but not giving someone the time to get to know them as a group, listen to their music and like the other members, I just felt that happened here and I felt I should say something. It’s just a whole messy situation, to put it simply I just don’t think anyone on any side of it should be rude. I am frustrated and I’m tired and I’m slightly worried for the group although I’m trying to stay positive, and when I see someone saying they don’t care about anyone other than Miya the angry scandal maker in me rises to the surface, but I just think overreacting is having a negative impact, even if it only was a couple of groos in this case. I’m really not trying to invalidate anyone’s frustration but maybe it’s a sort of assess the situation and think before you speak, if that makes sense? I hope that didn’t come off as rude I just want there to be more positivity in the fandom and politeness maybe when it comes to any non-groo who says a word about Miya? If someone doesn’t explicitly say they’re not interested in the other members just be nice in introducing them to the group, if someone does say they don’t care call them out but not in a way that’s rude? Am I making sense? Was this too long sorry I don’t know how to make points properly 🙃.

prefacing to say that i agree with op here completely. i don't normally post stuff like, this especially because I've long since left tma behind (for reasons like the following) but I've seen the sentiment op is talking about floating around recently and as a south asian person I do want to say that parts of it feel mad racist. im not saying it's intentional, or that it's a malicious choice, because frankly it feels like ignorance in itself and nothing more.
samama khalid is canonically welsh-pakistani due to his casting, is he not? the common fanon portrayal of jon also happens to be a brown guy, often ambiguously so. many white artists and other fandom creators tend to not look into the specifics of How he's brown, past the idea that he simply is. as such, it's very important to note that the idea of another *seperate* character being a "2.0" of the first for having racial characteristics shared by races being portrayed is a bad way of viewing it.
please, take the time to examine why you as a participant of this fandom space jump to that viewpoint of a new character of color's depiction. please do research if you can because instances of south asian culture vary sooo wildly, we aren't a monolith! you can easily make a unique and distinguishable character design as compared to jon without erasing sam's identity as a brown guy ! south asia is a huge region, and thus facial features and stuff may vary a lot ! say your brown jon is a british-indian man, or a british-bengali man. his physical features and experiences, while some may be shared, can just as easily vary from sam, a welsh-pakistani man. if they're both pakistani, region can effect things and so on and so forth, that's what research is for.
this is a long post and op im really sorry for just hijacking yours instead of making my own, but ultimately, i ask that we be aware of what we say and conscious in how we act towards others in a shared fandom space.
Getting frustrated by the amount of people saying "can we not draw Sam as Jon 2.0?" Let people do what they want!!! If you want something else, draw it yourself! Why are we already policing FANon designs??? Geeze!

i was.. agreeing with u. thats why i said i wanted to add and not that i argued, i just made a statement off your point in the askbox because i didnt wanna clog up laurent-of-vere's post when theyre already so clearly getting a lot of shit for whats going on. i wasnt disagreeing with you or saying you agreed with any of that
mostly because i dont know if u looked through OP’s blog but theres a lot of people saying being critisized for criting pedophilic incest fiction hurts them because theres CSA victims
im sorry it came off as me like attacking you knjbhgvh it wasnt my intention to upset you & i apologize
and also im sorry for sending like 100 asks
I’m sorry too. I jump to anger and defense when the topic of CSA gets brought up. I don’t mind the messages– I would rather you send 100 and me be able to understand more what you’re trying to say/where you’re coming from than just one and me being stuck mad and defensive.
also no one asked and this is just my opinion based off of my own and several friends’ experience but if you’re a victim of CSA and you’re writing shit like that, you’re hurting yourself more so than any critic from someone else ever could. find healthier ways to cope and reach out for professional help.
and again it’s fine i’m sorry too. i’m a huge asshole by nature and like i said i jumped to the defensive of this because of the subject matter. the last thing i want is to be mistaken for a defender or supporter of this.
again, if you ever need to talk or vent about this stuff you can. i promise i’ll be more level headed next time.
#p#i'm a snappy bitch i apologize kfjsdkljf#i just made a huge ass of myself didn't i?#i'm very good at that fkds;df

STOP OMG THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE BC THE ADS IN WANDAVISION WERE ALL MESNT TO ME MESSAGES STRANGE WAS SENDING WANDA BASICALLY TRYING TO WARN HER AND GET HER TO SNAP OUT OF IT. IM FINNA NERD OUT RN IM SO SORRY TO DO THIS TO YOUR POST OP DHEJEKK
But omg okay yall so i have a theory that in wandavision she’s already created a nexus of sorts because all of these shows take place around the same time period, and wanda traveling through time day by day changing the era for her shows (bc of her childhood and finding comfort in them) did end up fucking up westfield and led to a multitude of glitches that we see throughout the show, esp when wandas trying to suppress the fact that things are of her doing. And ofc Strange our time keeping king is very aware of this bc hello he has the time stone and hes meant to become the sorcerer supreme so ofc he alongside other sorcerers would be v aware of wandas little hiccup (torture machine) moment. However because of how truly powerful wanda is i dont think strange couldve properly put an end to things bc while wanda was unaware of the extent of her power as the scarlet witch, we as viewers and nerds have the knowledge that shes one of the most powerful beings in the universe and possesses the ability to essentially break the universe. In creating westfield i believe wanda creates a nexus but manages to almost fix it (keyword being almost here) bc we see at the wnd of the show that she takes everything down and frees those in the town, however the presence of her brother from the fantastic 4 universe proves that this little gap she created allowed him to either accidently jump into this loop or he was brought in by agatha bc it was agatha all along (i love her). Now going into agathas character and how she connects to all of this, homegirl knew sum was up and basically from my perspective as both a comic nerd and just a bitch i guess idrk agatha isnt a bad person-shes just lonely and kinda miserable bc st a certain point power cannot fulfill happiness (which i hope we see in Loki as well), and she will be brought back and shes essentially gonna teach Wanda how to be a witch bc you can do all the reading you want-but wandas execution is gonna be lacking and shes gonna need agathas guidance hence why wanda left her in westfield under her nosey neighbor persona.
Now doubling back i feel like Loki is gonna give us a better understanding of wandavision bc that shit was confusing the first watch no cap and my literal theory is loki gets out and breaks the time which creates the multiverse of madness bc i genuinely dont think hes gonna get the hero-arc character development as of rn, and if he does it doesnt really make much sense to me esp because in the original timeline which we’ll eventually see again-hes dead. But it makes sense that he goes back to being a villain or even antihero because he knows in the multiverse he can stay ALIVE and not be the TVA’s pawn. Also this is setting the foundation for Kang the Conquerer’s appearance as well because i think hes gonna be the next “thanos” if that makes sense, esp w the multiverse and specifically the fantastic four becoming more and more evident. Also i lowkey wanna see Loki enter the wandavision time cycle but i dont think he will, but it would still be cool to see that (even if he isnt himself which odds are he wouldnt be). But yeah im 110% positive wanda laid the foundations for the large nexus thats finna happen and then Loki triggers it all-esp w the whole “the evil variant we’re looking for is actually you” which is actually such a dope concept being that this loki being in existence w the tesseract has already triggered a nexus reaction of sorts which should lead to loki’s personal timelines all fucking up-hence fighting multiple variants of himself and it ties into the scene when he has to sign off on everything hes ever said bc that would follow the dialogue of this specific version of himself, and it ties back into the convo he has w homeboy trying to figure out what loki’s drive is for being a murderous dbag bc the best way to beat a villain is to understand their thought process and get s few steps ahead of them-its the reason endgame worked so well and Tony was able to get the gauntlet snd snap shit back into reality. Also rip him i guess. Oh and another random thing that made me giggle thinking ab it: the cat that scares loki might be a flerken like goose
