It’s crazy how many people just don’t understand why a lot of aro and or ace people don’t like that Alaster gets shipped. It’s not that hard to understand we don’t have a lot to let ourselves lose. I mean can you name 10 asexual characters? 5? Can you name two aro characters. There’s the guy from Archie who they made have a sex scene in a movie version. There’s a few books. I think a background character in Heartstopper? Do you see the theme here??? You’re all queer people, do you not get it? How it feels to have nothing? Is it so wrong to be upset that there’s finally an outwardly aroace person in popular media and instead of people embracing that they’re fighting on the internet about why it’s ok to ignore it? And I will never in my fucking life have anything against the people who are aro and or ace and portray him in THEIR experiences, even if it is a romance or sex favorable experience, but it is obvious that way too many of you guys are allo and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t even like him as a character that much, he isn’t even made by an aroace artist. The show isn’t even that fucking good, I just want to keep someone like me for once in my life. If there were a million other aroace characters I wouldn’t care, but it just hurts seeing erasure coming from my own community. It just sucks, man, I don’t know. It just sucks

to be clear. I know hazbin hotel/helluva boss aren't perfect. nor is their creator. but im doing my best not to let the discourse around them/her discourage me from enjoying art that I find enjoyment in. im tired of feeling guilty bc something I enjoy isn't squeaky clean 100% perfect all the time. shit's just not like that. and I understand there's nuance here, but fuck man. life's hard enough already. im gonna do my best to ignore the void of nonsense and enjoy the demon shows.

all that to say im tired of feeling like I'M a bad person for liking "bad" things and I wish there was a way to make it stop lol

The Nuzi Hate Is Ridiculous And Just Saddening/Defending Nuzi.

Alright, so...let me just start off saying that this'll be the last time I'm going to discuss anything drama related, especially what goes on in the Murder Drones Community. Honestly, at least over here on Tumblr, the fandom isn't that bad and awful and is not that much of a trainwreck as it is over on the toxic bird site, but this is something that just NEEDS to be discussed in general. This situation and just the insane amount of drama and fighting that's been happening with the MD fandom lately has honestly been tiring and has taken a toll on me. it honestly has, if I'm gonna be honest, it's been draining and I just don't wanna talk and deal with this anymore. I just wanna move on from this situation and continue obsessing over and watching my favorite robot show and not deal with any of this unnecessary and childish drama anymore!

Anyways, for those who don't know, there's been a lot of arguing and fighting in the Murder Drones fandom as of lately, at least on over on Twitter, but it's been happening over on things like Tik Tok, even YouTube and it isn't uncommon exactly, but it is something that's gotten worse in as the show continues to grow in popularity. The main discussion and arguments when it comes to shipping in the Murder Drones fandom are between Envy (N X V) and Nuzi (N X Uzi) there's other ships in the fandom people like, but Envy and Nuzi are two of the most popular ones and the ones who are often the topics when it comes to shipping wars. I've already discussed and talked about the craziness and drama that's been happening with the fandom with some fans harassing and going after the VA's, people getting on them for their opinions, trying to switch things around to fulfill their egos, ect. But, the main thing I'm going to be talking about with today's topic is Nuzi and the amount of unnecessary hate it's gotten and how I think it's unfair, because it's seriously gotten worse and worse. And if you don't know what the ship Nuzi is and aren't very familiar with the ship or MD itself as a whole, basically, Nuzi is the pairing between Serial Designation N and Uzi Doorman from Murder Drones, who are two of our main characters in the show. Now, people have been shipping these two since the pilot and have enjoyed their interactions and at first in the beginning of the show it seems the show was hinting at the two being just good friends but as time went on, the show started to develop and explore the two and things started to change and the show has started hinting at both N and Uzi starting an eventual romance down the line and hinting at some romantic tension going between them. Now with Uzi, it seems she's definitely starting to fall in love with N and gaining feelings for him, but she seems to downside her crush on him and it's pretty one-sided since meanwhile with N and his side of things, he seems clueless and isn't aware of Uzi's feelings and it seems that he only sees Uzi as a friend and nothing more beyond that and the show hasn't hinted on how N feels about Uzi right now..of course, it's too early to tell for where the relationship between these two will go and it's too early to have N and Uzi fall in love and start an relationship but there is potential and room for them to start a relationship eventually, there's room to dive more into their dynamic and relationship and potential to have a good romance between the two.

Now, as I've stated..Nuzi has gotten an extreme amount of hate lately, some misinformation and rumors have been spread around in the fandom to the point it's caused people to start attacking others who are fans/love the ship and started going after and harassing fans who make fanart of the two, anits and especially diehard shippers of both Envy and Thuzi, (but it's mostly Envy shippers) keep on throwing around and saying the excuses on how Nuzi is a "P*oship" and how N is an adult and Uzi is a minor and how they're siblings, or say how, "Uzi has a crush on Thad!" "N has a crush on V and even admitted it!!" And they'll just use EVERY excuse in the book..they'll turn shit around and do whatever they can to make people feel bad and shitty for simply even adoring and liking Nuzi and finding it cute, hell it's even gotten to the point where some fans started going after others for liking other ships in the fandom like Vizzy/Pink Lemonade, and just any ships involving WD X DD. I'm not kidding, I've seen fans and others argue that Nuzi wouldn't work out because both N and Uzi are different robot species and how on N has killed and slaughtered Uzi's people. Apparently because both N and Uzi can't make a good pairing because they're apparently, "boring and uninteresting" and one is a WD and the other is a DD, but because both V and N are DD's and because they knew each other in the past that automatically means something..? Seriously?? I'm not joking when I say some of these fans are downright ridiculous and childish, they'll do whatever they can to stop people from liking ships like Nuzi and shame people for even enjoying it and make childish hate posts on said ship constantly, and it's overall just so hurtful and ridiculous, Dude. And it's people like them that make this fandom look awful and downright toxic, it's people like them that make others think that everyone in the fandom is like this when that's far from the truth!

I'm honestly really sick and tired of how this fandom mistreats and bullies other people just for simply liking different ships, people have stated that they feel hurt and feel like they can't like certain ships without them being attacked and shitted on, they feel like they can't like something they enjoy without others dragging them down and being hated on. It's ridiculous how some of these fans see Nuzi as the most awful and horrendous ever made and it needs to be forgotten forever. It's ridiculous and laughable how some of these people point out and rant on how much they hate Nuzi, only to make it the only thing they talk about and mention 24/7, some of these people literally just whine and complain about how they're not a fan of said ship. I mean, it's totally fine and okay to not like certain ships and you don't have to love and enjoy the same things as others do, but you don't need to make hate posts all the time and bash others for finding comfort and liking the ship they like, you don't need to make rants 24/7 on how you despite said ship..it just makes you look so damn childish and just unbearable, like okay..you're not a fan of certain ships, okay? JUST MOVE ON!! WE GET IT, just stop harassing and making us feel like shit and horrible people, stop making us feel terrible for loving Nuzi, just move on and just don't interact with us if it bothers some of you so damn much. I mean, it's gotten so bad that some have left the MD fandom because of the toxicity and childish behavior from some of these fans. Just please stop and be nice to one another, it's not right how some of you will harass and do whatever you can to make people feel shitty for enjoying what they love and trying to paint them out as these awful individuals. Like seriously, I just cannot stand shipping wars and I really despise them, shipping wars are such a waste of time and are just an excuse to harass and cause unnecessary drama and it just results with people getting hurt. And I've said this many times before and I'm gonna say it again, shipping shouldn't be the ONLY thing to focus on when watching and getting into any piece of media. There's much more to love and look forward to, there's more to appreciate and shows have more to offer than just ships, SHIPPING AIN'T EVERYTHING.

One more thing I'm gonna add and talk about before we finish up is that..I don't even understand and get the hate Nuzi has received, I mean I'm fine and totally alright with people seeing them as friends and respect their opinions. But, what's with some of these people just disliking and harassing people for seeing the two more than just friends and wanting them to be something more? I've seen people argue and say that it's either too cliche and just call both Uzi and N, Starco 2.0. And it's just ridiculous how some of these fans and antis act whenever there's moments with Uzi and N together or when the show is hinting at a possibility of the two being an item someday. Is this seriously how these toxic fans are gonna act whenever Nuzi have any moments together?? Whether it's romantic or not? It just seems the idea of Uzi and N being something more just burns these fans up inside and just frustrates them to the core. Nuzi ISN'T what you guys think it is and it's more than that, nothing is being rushed and forced and nothing is being written poorly between them either, and they AREN'T another Starco. Also, Nuzi isn't just here for fanservice, these moments we've gotten with Uzi and N were already planned out and worked on, MD has been in the works and in production since about 2020, wayyy before the show even came out and before the fandom was even a thing. Uzi and N were already planned and hinted at being something more and having something special between them, they were always meant to have something deeper and important and the show seems to be going the route in wanting to develop further into Uzi and N's dynamic and their relationship as a whole. The scenes we've gotten for Uzi and N have always been planned out and if Nuzi happens and becomes a thing in the series, it's because Liam wants it to be and planned it that way, NOT BECAUSE OF FANSERVICE!! It's fine if you're not a fan of the pairing and just don't find any interest in it, you can love and like what you want. But please stop acting like it's a big deal and something to get angry about, because it's not..it's not worth it. It's not worth throwing tantrums and acting over the top about, just move on and ignore.

Anyways, this is all I've wanted to talk about when it comes to this Nuzi hate and the drama that surrounds the ship when it comes to the fandom, I've just wanted to give my thoughts. Also, everyone in the Murder Drones Community, just PLEASE be nice and kind to one another and respect each other's opinions. ♥️ You guys are better than this and getting into arguments and shipping wars aren't worth it and are just plain silly, doing any of this just results in people being hurt and affected, getting into shipping wars aren't worth it and they're are better things to do. Please, be nice to each other and if you aren't a fan of certain ships in the show then that's fine and alright. Just move on and scroll away and respect other's feelings and opinions, you don't have to like a ship that's popular or what many seem to like! Just don't be a dick and treat others like crap and make hate posts just because you're not a fan of said ship, just please move on and keep moving forward! Plain and simple, just ignore and move on with your day, mistreating and hurting others just isn't worth it.

This is such a small little rant but what the FUCK is people's problem with others having fun

"Oh but the creator said this! The creator said that!" We don't gotta live to the creators rules in OUR OWN SPACE [With an exception of media creators being minors and asking that adult content is not made of their media in public spaces]

AUS EXIST FOR A R E A S O N

MEDIA IS BOUND TO BE C H A N G E D, NOT EVERYONE IS GONNA LIVE BY ANOTHERS RULES

YOU WILL N O T COME INTO MY HOME AND TELL ME HOW TO ARRANGE MY FURNITURE /ref

If people are in THEIR OWN SPACES and having fun and just enjoying their time, who CARES. If there is no harm, let them have FUN, LIKE DAMN MAN.

If they were actively going out to harass the creators, then yeah, I could get it!! But t..they're not. They're sharing versions of the media they like with others to talk about and enjoy it with

Shut the fuck up, put your big boy pants on, and walk out my house if you don't like my content. Don't hide your faces either, I wanna know who I'm blocking on your way off my property

TLDR: Some people are overgrown toddlers that have no idea how to mind their own business or not be an asshole

[makanioverlord]

just a heads up, if you get a dm from nobugdev, this person is trying to scam you and will tell you to kys r slur (then deleted the specific kys message before I could screenshot it lol) when you tell him you don't want to be paid under federal minimum wage :)

this is just a small sample of the lovely conversation I had with this guy. it didn't last long because I didn't actually plan on taking the commission, and wanted to give this guy a wake up call as to how shitty it is to expect a grown ass adult to work for a wage that can barely buy a single candy bar in our current economic climate.

I've had an influx of scam artists and underhanded clients like this in the past 2 years, partially which I blame on AI art making ppl undervalue every creative profession out there. I'm fucking exhausted from having hours long conversations with someone only for them to tip toe around the fact they think my art isn't even worth a single grocery trip. not to mention people think artwork can be mass produced by a human like a machine now- it is not possible to do 10 cleanly lined images in "an hour or two".

even when I was working as a caricature artist, I was paid a base hourly rate on top of tips and was given much more time to work on black and white illustrations than what this guy was offering me. I usually block immediately and move on, but I'm tired of putting up with this type of shit on a daily basis.

tl;dr: know your worth artists, don't let these scumbags try to force you to do what is essentially sweatshop labor!

do NOT take this weirdo's commissions, even if the diary of a wimpy kid art style is simple you shouldn't be charged under federal fucking minimum wage for that type of illustration!

What mentality is it when weirdcore and dreamcore feel safer and more like reality than actual reality? What then?

[spirking-and-sparkling]

That mother and daughter/child relationship where you both apologize and forgive and forget, but you both continue to be not very good to each other. But you have so much understanding for each other that you dont hold a grudge. And she cries when you say that you're going to move far away some day. But you're not going to move away because you love her and you forgive her, and you couldnt live with yourself if you hurt her like that. And she makes you cry, but you know you deserve it sometimes. And sometimes she wishes you would move away because you're hurting her. And you're both selfish. And you expect too much of each other, but you also fail to do the bare minimum of what's expected. And at the same time you do so so much for each other, more than should be expected of either of you. And you can never repay her, and you only hope that in the long run you've made her life better and not worse.

Somedays I think about myself ererer

[modpoppy]

i still am baffled that my sibling pretends to like me like im pretty sure its bc im just another person they can get secondary validation and entertainment from but sometimes they say things that reveal just how much they dont view me as a person and im like why do ? you even bother playing the friend

[madoumonogatarirunelord]

Some things I have learnt from the internet and that people targeted should not take to heart:

1. It's hard once somebody discovers you irl (in real life), especially if they bully or are out to get you. Just ignore it and don't let that get to your head. It's what they want. I know it's hard but the less you show that you care, the more bored they get.

2. Not everyone will agree with your opinion. It's fine. You might not agree with theirs either. If they send anything rude to you, just ignore it or at least tell them that you didn't intend to offend them/that their comment is offensive. If it ever escalates to a degree where it does not agree with the community guidelines, make sure to report/ban them.

3. Only share your accounts with somebody you trust deeply. If you trust that person but you don't know if they are just pretending to be your friend, I recommend that you get to know them more. I speak from experience, anybody that betrays you will expose your other identity. It's not fun.

4. Last but not least, don't try and provoke anybody. It's okay to put your thoughts and feelings and opinions into a post, but it's not okay to direct harmful comments at somebody. It's hurtful and rude. If you don't agree with what somebody says, just ignore it and don't spread hate/rumours or any alternative that may lead to the person being harmed.

I'm putting this out there so nobody makes the same mistakes I did when I was quite young and new to the internet. Even now, I'm still not quite familiar with what goes on here or any other sites like X, formerly Twitter. This is not directed at anybody it's just some advice to anybody who is new to the internet, or somebody who needs some sort of advice to get through their life. Just felt like posting this just to help those who need it. 😄

Stay strong and keep going! We all have bad days, weeks or even months! It will be okay when you get better, and sometimes you will fall back and it will feel like your world is tumbling down and you will never be okay, But you will be! One day you will look back and Know that you are stronger now than you where back then, and sometimes you won't feel that way sometimes you may feel you overreacted but that's okay to! Because that means you grew as a person! And your stronger than you were before!

don't give up

[midnighteloquence]

ugh

i always feel horrible whenever people feel bad for me and i dont mean it at all like “you dont have to care for me…” i mean it in a way that i dont see anything that has ‘happened’ to me as that bad. like i look at all my friends, they’ll have been through abuse, sa, substance use, self harm, eds, neglect, but whats happened to me? both of us can be suffering but is my suffering truly valid if i havent been through terrible things like assault? is it truly worth cvtting myself just as much as people around me if ive gone through nothing compared to them?

like sure i was looked at when i was 11, or ive been anxious about the people around me, or i was left out of a friend group, is it that bad? did i seriously fall into a deep depression in 2021 because of that? how weak do i have to be?? like today c said smth like “oh your past” after i said that i joked about hating my life but it felt weird because my past isnt bad enough to want to die. and they dont even know my past. i hate saying “my past” because it makes it seem like something horrible happened, when in reality nothing much happened. so i dont know why i still feel like shit??? im still depressed despite knowing everyone and their mother has gone through worse. i havent even dipped my toes into hell and all the people around me have been shoved into it. and yet i still cry and thrash around, and almost relapse or OD or scratch and bite myself over what??????? absolutely nothing. ive fully convinced myself it was nothing to cry about, and theres people out there going through genocide, going through assault and abuse and im here crying and whining because “oh so and so doesnt like me! Wahh!!”

i just feel like whenever people talk about “my past” that, they shouldnt actually. because it isnt something to worry about, it isnt terrible, i havent gone through war or gone to an asylum.

(ik its short i js have nothing else to say)

My thoughts about FNAF: Into the Pit

Tbh, I personally don't understand all the praise and hype for Into The Pit (the newest FNAF game). Don't get me wrong, I'm very much a fnaf fan, and the game isn't bad by any means! It just... does not feel like it should be a Five Nights at Freddy's game. Or, it feels like it should be a side game like Fnaf World.

It's a pretty cool concept with very impressive animation for pixel art- which is also really good- but I don't think it's "PEAK FNAF!1!" Or anything. It just feels too far off from what FNAF was suppose to be. Instead of getting answers, things are becoming more and more complicated and harder to follow and understand. Now that it's intertwining with the books, which were suppose to be separate from the game's lore, it's even more stretched out and tangled. And I'm sorry, I'm not about to read like 20 different books just so things can start making sense.

This is probably just nostalgia talking and "grrrrr I'm an adult and all you youngin's and yer damn skibidi toilets grrrrrr" but I miss when FNAF was just like 4 games with deeply tied lore that felt like playing an ARG alongside these games

Disclaimer; if you like the Game, if it's your absolute favorite of all time, then good for you! I'm happy you can enjoy something even when I don't. Go have enough fun for the both of us, okay? :)

[teamcavota]

god I know its bad to say it but I want my grandparents to go home so badly. my dad just gets so weird when they're around I don't know how to describe it. like today he got mad at me claiming he told me to make dinner, but at most he told me to think about it (along with everyone else!). like the words "can you make dinner" never come out of his mouth.

also I zoned out once while we were going in somewhere and didn't notice my grandma needing help. now admittedly I feel bad about this one for obvious reasons, but my dad just goes overboard and ignores the 99% of the other times I'm first out of the car to help her. like it only matters if I slip up and its pissing me off. I wanted to make a nice dinner tomorrow to make up for it, but at the same time the other half of me hardly wants to be home and just go out to eat.
