Wow

Just….

Wooooow

They really will say or do or throw anyone under the bus to try and prop up Tommy Kinard.

At one side we have a character who spent 7 seasons struggling with an accident. It's not Bobby's fault the building wasn't up to code and it was basically an accelerant itself. That fire would've been that bad even if it was a random person's dinner catching on fire. It's not like Bobby moved around with a flame thrower trying to kill as many people as possible. He lost his wife and kids in that thing. And on the other side we have a racist who needed his life saved to treat Chim like a human. Addiction is a disease. Racism isn't. Bobby doesn't have control over that part of himself. Tommy absolutely does have control over the way he acts tho.

He is my guy, he is a blorbo, he is everything to me

(He is a 30-40 year old man. He causes problems on purpose. He causes problems by accident. He is a villain in others stories. He is a bitch.)

Mandatory introductory post!

Since the MOMENT the original GF show aired, I was kinning YOUR problematic fave; thats well over a decade! And boy oh boy am I SO fucking back. (I never left.)

Keep in mind; at the initial time, I was a child and didn't know what kinning was (small brain, big big plans!) which puts me over the legal drinking age now. No kiddos interact, come back once you hit legality.

I'll be honest, its been years since I've made a sideblog (or a main blog) for kinning; I don't really care either way if people wanna talk to me, but I'm not against having some fun! I'm here for a good time, and for the love of GOD no drama. Does that still happen in kin communities or has everyone finally grown up?

Anyway, I'm shoving every little thing I relate to into this one little sideblog on this shithole of a site. Thats it.

This is my ONE POST I'll make to scream into the void just to establish this new sideblog and why its here; at current time, I don't even have it up and running yet. Not even a profile pic. It doesn't look pretty, but it will eventually! Maybe! We'll see.

Rules: make a poll with five of your all time favorite characters, then tag five (or however many!) people to do the same. see which character is everyone’s favorite. Ok we all know if we listed my legit favourite characters Kate Beckett would win so I'm gonna list five characters I love that a lot of other people do not because I'm curious!!

"Erm hello how could you like or admire this character when they x and x and x and x and x"

simple really. They're not a real person. They are a character who has a purpose in moving the plot forward and that purpose is kicking ass

I love how common the sentiment of "I want more people to know this work but I Know the discourse surrounding (Insert Blorbo Here) would be absolutely horrible" is in smaller fandoms

Also, is it wrong that I kinda ship Amanda and Emily a little? There's something so deliciously toxic there. :rofl:

[nohkalikai]

What if, instead of endless remakes of movies that are less than 15 years old, we go back to older beloved-but-problematic works and take the fun characters out and have them do things that aren’t kinda shitty instead?

Neat!!! Tell me more about your reverse selfship w Koro-Sensei!!! What kind of media would you be from? How would the general fandom feel about your character?

Anon I love you mwah mwah this is all I was thinking about while at the eye doctor today and lemme tell you. I still have nothing.

Like Koro-Sensei's the easiest to do a reverse Self Ship for because he is a self shipper, especially with cool characters from anime and manga which is what my default media is buuut

I don't think I'd be his type in a fictional setting. Koro-Sensei has a very prominently big titty girl that could beat your ass type when it comes to anime. He likes Shonen and action and cool main characters with super neat powers. I.. don't and probably wouldn't fit into or be from an anime like that (a sweet slice of life maybe, one of the side characters to the main romance?)

I just don't think I as a character would fall into his range. I mean maybe, we all have our outta left field F/Os here and there. It's just unlikely.

Taking into consideration this Highschool or maybe Office Job Slice of Life Comedy Romance setting, I'd probably be a side character, implied canon queer rep in 2015 manga that got censored for the Anime, or even fully cut because I'm just one of the friend group who didn't get a real episode to himself till book 7 or so, and didn't end up with anyone in the end. The manga readers (like Koro-Sensei) are die hard fans, the Anime Onlys have no idea what they're talking about. I have no official merch and the Mangaka only draws me in the big promotional group images sometimes.

I could see Koro-Sensei being really upset about the lack of content about his favorite character and setting out to make it all on his own. He write the X Readers and draws all the fanart and makes a whole Stan blog and everything. Goes really hard about it for two weeks or so, and ends up burning himself out on it. Then he'd switch hyper focus onto something else and leave it all to rot in the bowels of A03.

That's about all I have for it right now, and probably eve will have? At least for Koro-Sensei. I have some other ideas for other Reverse Self Ships thanks to the Discord bouncing the idea around this morning a lot.

I dunno if I'll continue these into anything but they're fun thought experiments! Thankyou for indulging me!

It is so funny to read the word "problematic" in scholarship from before 2015. I'm so sorry to the nuance of this argument.
