CHOOSE VIOLENCE!!! 7, 8, 10

choosing violence!!

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

ok this is going to be a weird one but. fjord.

TO BE CLEAR i fucking love fjord and i think his arc is one of my favorites but there came a point sometime after he'd sort of settled into being a cleric of the wildmother when a certain meta writer--who i respect very much, they seem very smart--started to make meta posts after each episodes where i was nodding along enthusiastically, ready for them to draw me into the conclusion....where they inevitably went "which is why this was all about fjord and his journey."

i got...so...sick of this, especially as the story focused more on caleb and then on beau and yasha. and this person's meta is super popular, so i saw it EVERYWHERE even after i unfollowed. i just wanted to scream "not everything is about your blorbo oh my god". and i started to roll my eyes any time fjord said anything before i was like wait. what. i like fjord. and i realized it was just dread at the anticipation of looooong metas that were Just About Fjord.

in retrospect this is totally on me, i should've just blocked them, but their only crime was being slightly annoying so i chickened out.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

that jester is innocent and clueless, especially wrt sex. it is absolutely incredible to me how many people completely forget that she was given a pretty thorough private education and oh yeah that her mom is a sex worker?? who's VERY frank with her?

no--jester is inexperienced. jester is that one friend you know who has kinks you've never heard of and reads piles of smut and has never had sex. she knows Exactly what goes on, she just has very unrealistic ideas about the possibility of being railed by the pizza delivery man.

bringing me to my final point: why don't more people do an aspec or arospec of jester?? it's RIGHT there

10. worst part of fanon

i'm so incredibly bored by "and then they were happily into peaceful cottagecore domesticity for the rest of their days" type shipping (with ONE exception), espeeeecially with queer ships. y'all think yasha "i'll throw you under a bridge" nydoorin is gonna be a quiet, settled housewife with her adhd, violence prone, poison immune wife? caleb "i want to bend reality to my will" and essek literally started a war thelyss are going to find a nice place in rexxentrum and settle down? with KIDS? (i find it impossible to believe shadowgast would want kids. i Get the impulse and i will never yuck anyone's yum but i personally find it incredibly out of character). (conversely, i do find ridiculously sweet/cutesy/fluffy shipping of these characters to be generally kind of funny but really endearing. it's just the "settling down" bit--like. i just can't believe these guys would ever sit still.)

my one exception is of course percahlia, in part because their cottage is less a cottage and more local government, and more relevantly because i think the two of them getting a quiet comfortable existence is actually sort of a radical idea. "i was going to be a clockmaker once" just fucking kills me. for a character to be, as taliesin put it, karmically fated to have a bad ending, to get the typical fairy tale happily ever after treatment...for vex to gain both wealth and importance...it just feels right.

thanks tangereen :)

A commission for @tangereendream of Eadwulf and Essek and their fankid Ellie! [Image ID: A drawing of Eadwulf and Essek from Critical Role. They have their arms around each other and Eadwulf is holding Ellie, a tiny baby who is grabbing at Essek's finger to chomp on it. Eadwulf is a stocky man scruffy hair and maze like tattoos on his arms and Essek is a drow with dark purple skin and freckles that look like stars. Ellie resembles Essek and is wearing an outfit covered in stars and moons. End ID]

tillsend........i have been forced to care Tillman Henderson................if beams court was open i would sue.........

hflaksjdfhs Tillsend made me go from “Tillman getting incinerated and then accidentally revived is so funny can’t wait until he gets incinerated or something again” to “i unironically love and care about this goblin man and i will be devastated if he is taken from me” in the span of about 2-3 days and i will never forgive myself or anyone else for it, probably

(shh don’t let Sins hear you say the words “Beams court” and “sue” in the same sentence, it’ll probably incinerate you just to be on the safe side)

[ciphergem]

yo your Jonah in Wonderland post is amazing, but adding the full incantation over Wonderland, because that would be an absolute banger and what a way to start an eye-pocalypse

i’ll keep that in mind! i don’t know how to download the full episode myself but if any TMA fans know how, then I will made it for y’all!

11, 18, and 23 for the song ask! I know you already did 23, but do another?

11: A song that you never get tired of

hmm, i am liable to skip just about anything when the adhd really kicks in, but i don't know that i'd ever complain if you sat me down and said hey you gotta listen to fake your death by my chemical romance on loop.

18: A song from the year that you were born

all star came out the year i was born so i'm VERY tempted to put that, but dive into me by big country holds such personal significance--it's off of the last album ever released by stuart adamson before he died (driving to damascus), one of the first albums i ever bought, and never fails to pull me back to childhood road trips.

23: A song that you think everybody should listen to

sure i'll do another one! not to show my entire ass as a theater kid but being alive from company--i like neil patrick harris's version but raúl esparza's version is also stunning. there is an entire video essay that is a fantastic, and deeply frustrated, queer reading of company, that i watched and have been rotating in my mind ever since. in summary: it's a song about the kind of love story that you're always told will happen but never get, and it definitely awakens both the aro and bi parts of me.

thanks so much tangereen!

10 characters/10 fandoms/10 tags

tagged by the lovely @aevallare, thank you!! 🫶

i overthought the "10 fandoms" to a painful degree because surely we all understand that a fandom does not simply mean "a piece of media" and thus the random YA book i read when i was like 12 doesn't count even though it probably does have one of my fave characters ever. but also it's a silly tag game so i can do whatever i want. anyway

caleb widogast (critical role) - YOU WERE NOT BORN WITH VENOM IN YOUR VEINS. YOU LEARNED IT! YOU LEARNED IT!!!!! what if a fictional character taught me how to let go of the guilt i've been carrying around since i was a teenager. and he likes cats and books. and he has unmatched hubris and beautiful long hair

lan wangji (the untamed) - how did you already know your heart at 16, lan wangji? how did you know? what is it like to have such incredible conviction in your own righteousness, such immeasurable devotion to your love, that the only regret you will ever have is not making the decision sooner as the years tick by and you are without him?

leona (league of legends) - we're just going to ignore the 2248402 retcons and go for the vibes of a sun knight who believes so fervently that she is an embodiment of her faith and yet it loses her the person she cares most about in the world. devotion that turns into ash in your mouth babyyyy

hanzo (overwatch) - literally just this text post it makes me howl with laughter every time. it's giving redemption but while still being the worst person ever the entire time. vibes

fabian seacaster (d20) - the way that everything about him is about his father except that he's not his father. the way he kills his father. the way he keeps his father's legacy. i love a character a) who is meticulously crafted in the shadow of someone else and b) who, despite everything, desperately wants to live!!

tom wambsgans (succession) - the pathetic man representation of the group. toxic wifeguy but he's actually the wife except he's not the wife at all because he's a man. guy who knows how to simper and shake ass and still punches down at every opportunity. king

mizu (blue eye samurai) - revenge quest. gender fuckery. unlimited toxic threesome potential. a sense of self that is warped beyond comprehension by the world around her AND a never give up attitude. she can literally do it all

tony stark (mcu) - redemption arc except he takes great power = great responsibility so seriously that he makes it the entire world's problem and also it kills him. incalculable hubris, horrendous attitude, infinite daddy issues, etc.

kylo ren (star wars) - you kind of have to pick and choose with this one but i choose the guy who thought his uncle was going to kill him and, again, proceeded to make his problems the entire galaxy's problems. desperate attempt to escape the legacy he inherited, fucked up sense of self, too many ego problems to count, do we see the pattern yet. etc.

cersei lannister (asoiaf) - unfortunately tywin lannister's trueborn son and heir was born a girl and proceeded to make that everybody else's problem. we get it by this point right

also here are some recent book-ish runner ups because i'm incapable of not recommending these books if the opportunity arises: yskandr (a memory called empire), general ouyang (she who became the sun), breq (imperial radch), and baru cormorant (the masquerade) 😎✌

i'll tag @callingvoicemail @capitola @road-rhythm @saturdaysky @eskelent @pairofsunflowers @nocttvrnes @tangereendream @perpetualnovelboyfriend @princesskuragina if any of y'all want!
