#thanks for bringing this to my attention anon

[fadelbison]

Heyy!

I'm still not clear of the full story, except that you're being harassed and cancelled because people don't have a grasp over how fandoms work and that it's been happening for a while now.

I hope you're doing okay though. You might be used to handling bs like this but il sorry it keeps happening. Your writing is some of the best, and I always look forward to a bew fic.

And here's the thing, I don't read all of them. If the tags or summary does not tinkle my kind of delulu I MOVE THE FUCK ON. I thought this was commob practice but apparently not.

Didn't know we were out here setting dictates on whose delusion is valid and whose isn't jeez. The puritans have come for us even in the horny jail. ;(

Anyways I hope you survive the attack of the delulu police and come out with more unhinged stuff (not all of which I'll read because, yk, not my delulu, so that I can ehem... MOVE THE FUCK ON)

Hi anon, first thank you so much for the compliments. This is exactly how I and many fandom creators want to be perceived. Creators in fandom share their work for free and the only payment in return is for the like-minded people who enjoy the work to come hang out and have some fun. But the reason this ask has been on my mind for days is that, well, in general, we are currently in an era where the very act of having any type of influence over any amount of people, who will give you their time and attention, has become a 'marketable' trait.

That has entirely changed fandom and it's really apparent in the way that fandom creators have been greatly struggling with being treated like content creating influencers for years now aka they have the 'commodity' that make socmed influencers, socmed influencers but they are uniquely different in that they have no desire to wield it. I'd like to talk about the "commodification of self" that BL actors, in particular branded pairs engage in (and really any idol or even celebrity engages in this) and the position it puts fandom creators in. And some things I'd like to bring up in relation

I'm still not clear of the full story, except that you're being harassed and cancelled

1.

I'm not being cancelled. I have spent the last 2 years in this fandom making a concentrated effort to keep my sphere of influence very, very low. I never promote any of my works. I suddenly drop fics no one knew I was even thinking about, my writing blog has a blessed 10 followers. I follow no update schedules. Often I will stagger updates on purpose even when it's done, so people can forget about the fic and their excitement can die over it (I am doing it this very second with my FK Little Mermaid AU). When a popular thai twitter linked my canon verse alangaipa I privated that story within days.

After all that, if people don't stop giving a shit about me on twitter then I would have to be Arthur Conan Doyle to not have some goddamn peace. And truly, no one cares two shits about anything I do or say 🤣 (other than that one very dedicated Tumblr user with three different accounts.

2.

As for the full story, well. I think if you want to ethnographically trace when and with what the constant barrage of fighting started then the earliest we can trace it back to is at this point over a month ago, maybe even 2-3 months (month ago is when I started paying attention bless my angry anons) to pannjed (an OG FK translator) tweeting a translation of an FK clip with a comment akin to "Kt has badboy energy" and great offense was taken at the comment by as far as I can tell many people including another much newer FK translator quizii (who became the face of the pannjed opposition) because pannjed was allegedly using their translations to influence the fandom towards an unfavorable image of Kt (hilarious criticism for quizii to make btw if you read their translator notes hahaha).

BUT this answer is NOT about the wrongs or rights of pannjed and quizii, feel free to go to their twitters and read their viewpoints on your own time. The thing to talk about here is the nature of the accusation and the logic that it follows.

I say Khaotung could date Joong? SIN against FKs brand. Khaotung loves no one other than First.

I say Khaotung could be or could have dated women? BL logic dictates that inhaling any molecule of a woman can make a man straight so also a sin.

OhmKhaotung banner? SIN against the FK brand etc etc

3.

However, I don't think it's the people yelling at me who are missing the point of specifically a branded pair's fandom (heavy heavy overlaps with stan culture), it might actually be "us" the people trying to exist in the non-capitalist version of fandom who might be missing the point of what FK could be trying to achieve with their pairing. I have complained about FK starting to go harder and harder into heteronormative styles of fanservice literally since THK was announced LOL because I have followed ZNN and I know very well what the tightening of the noose around nuance looks like and why it happens.

There's no hard distinction between pairs striving for fanservice commodifying themselves and fanservice done to promote their work and really any pair successfully gaining a following via their work will ultimately be pushed to sell the fantasy of their relationship as well.

And there is certainly no moral judgement for pairs that sell their image divorced from their works, most pairs do this in fact, but it makes the pairs that lean towards fanservice vastly for the fun of it really rare. And I am certainly sad to lose Firstkhao to the capitalist vortex of fans who spend money on them to get a feeling of ownership of them and then self appoint themselves protectors of their brand and image. The LINEMAN mission failure outbreak of terribleness on twitter was such a beautiful closure on what's really going on.

Which is that we have now reached the end stage capitalism phase of the FK fandom, where fans that spend money, fans that give them constant unwavering attention specifically on X specifically using hashtags and @ to add to their engagement are The Very Best Only Real Fans and fans that don't do that, for whatever reason, even if they have been fans of FK since before the brand of FK (like me) Are Not Real Fans.

Didn't know we were out here setting dictates on whose delusion is valid and whose isn't jeez. The puritans have come for us even in the horny jail. ;(

4.

They have. They really, really have come into my jail cell and armed with bleach and brillopad scrubbing away all the penis variety I have scribbled on the walls.

But honestly? I have no idea who is right.

FK have funneled themselves hardcore into heteronormative monogamy, on purpose, once more not a moral judgement (though there is personal disappointment). They are selling the demure khaotung, protective husband first image Hard. First makes the appropriate jealousy comments. Khaotung who spent most of OF drooling over Force's biceps (god bless his gay soul) suddenly can't see men who aren't First. It's like they read this post I wrote about Branded Pair Heteronormativity and took every pointer LMAO

Puritanical fans are on a mission whose ultimate goal is to line up First and Khaotung's pockets. And by gosh do I really not care about that ! I do care that theyre not being exploited (I mean....they definitely are so like apparently I don't care too much abt that either) but whether Khaotung made enough bank this month to buy a $5000 bracelet for First or whatever the price of luxury items are these days is simply something I have never once thought about!

I hardly know the validity of statements like head cannoning Khaotung as naughty or dominating is bad for his job opportunities because I don't understand the industry well much less its values. I know that there were many thai fans also yelling at pannjed.

Is claiming that a fan creator can influence the type of jobs the artist themselves can get absolutely PSYCHOTIC? Hell Fucking Yes.

But— is it inaccurate? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

And here is my very last arsenal that if people did start hating on me for calling Kt a slut on twitter then I will actually stop (but I know none of my haters can read let alone a post this long). Not because I care what they think of me but because I am genuinely unsure if that is bad for Kts image in getting brand job opportunities hence why I *exclusively* do it here now.

Anyway, your ask made me go to twitter and dig into this terribleness and so you must deal with my (of dubious quality) findings. Lots of love ❤️

Yk what? I bring my idea of an unlabelled Jason and a shapeshifter meta clown!reader to you, clown!reader can be however Jason wants em

Also those two would be so unserious during suggestive times, the amount of times clown reader probably would involve a squeaker they got specifically for the bedroom because haha funny would be astronomical, they grabbing it and makin it go squeak squeak man

Thank you for the gift lovely anon, I’m trying to get settled into this blog, unfortunately my main takes up most of my attention.

They are serious and not serious in my opinion. While Clown! Reader is a very silly person, Jason is a massive romantic.

They would indulge each other, with clown! Reader holding back their jokes and replacing them with loving praise mixed with dirty talk.

“Right there Jason..! God you were made for me~”

“Good boy, looking so so pretty underneath me”

And Jason indulging Clown! Reader by letting them paint his face in pretty whites, reds and oranges before traveling lower and painting a smiley face on his abdomen. Even giving the little smiley a red lipped kiss or two.

I feel like they would own a ball gag that squeaks when you bite down hard enough.

I can also see Jason wearing some polkadot pants with red suspenders, pretending to be a rodeo clown flirting with you, the hot bull rider.

“I have something that you can ride anytime.”

“Y’know the old saying, save a horse, ride a clown. :o)”

These role reversal roleplays are kinda their favorite, with Jason getting to be silly for once and Clown! Reader getting to try out new forms to shapeshift into.

The pitch presentation for the Final Fantasy 9 animated series leaked on reddit. I won't spoil but the designs are very cute.

I dug around after you sent me this inbox. So, it seems it's not quite 100% confirmed that the leaks are the FFIX animated pitch, it just seems the most likely, so I'm still going to maintain the possibility it may not be real.

That said, if this is, indeed, what was proposed for the (hopefully still) upcoming show, then I get why they intended it for kids. When I first heard the animated series was gonna be all-age, I was mildly puzzled; FFIX's world IS very colorful and whimsical that it would lend well to a kid's cartoon, but its subject matter and content is still broadly meant for an older, teen audience. ...But my assumption was that they were gonna adapt the original game, not make a sequel!

FFIX doesn't need a sequel, it ended wonderfully. But also, also, ALSO, it has the best premise for a sequel because it stars the children of the Best Character Ever (and serious contender for Best FF Character Ever, don't @ me):

BABIES!

LOOK AT MY NEW SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHOM I HAVE ALL JUST ADOPTED.

I love the idea of basenji dog scout, if for nothing else than a key characteristic of basenji dogs being that they don’t bark; they yodel.

Like imagine all the mercs getting ready for battle getting all excited and barking at the other team, when scout just comes out with this noise

I’ve been reading your posts about Beast-Yeast 8 and, uh.

Isn’t it interesting that the Light of Truth only speaks up exactly ONCE during this entire episode and when it does, it’s talking to Shadow Milk Cookie?

anon you have just brought this to my attention and the answer is YES 100%!!!

here's the entire exchange screenshotted, and analysed for reference!

the exchange happens DIRECTLY after the whole thing where shadow milk and pure vanilla become "one and the same" — each with their own other-realms to control.

now, the light of truth comes in with a completely black background. usually when we see it, it's pure vanilla in the abyss of his soul, surrounded by blue glowing eyes and twisting and turning in the darkness. shadow milk's other-realm, really.

and its line: "is it truly YOUR will?" can imply very many things.

we all know the light of truth is shadow milk cookie. that's why when we saw this exchange, we stopped, paused — immediately knew this wasn't the REAL light. we've got an imposter on our hands, and it seems to know something about Shadow Milk's past that we don't.

after the exchange, he is SHOCKED. but not just shocked — is that ... uncertainty? shadow milk, "fount of knowledge," master of all his plans, always one step ahead, not knowing something.

or maybe he does know something. maybe he knows who this imposter light of truth is. he SEEMS to recognise them, thus is his reaction. if shadow milk was faced with a light of truth suddenly talking to him, one that is not him, and he didn't know who it was, don't you think his reaction would be something different? more confused? more in denial? he would suspect something like it being pure vanilla reaching out to him, trying to scare him — and I'm not saying this isn't pure vanilla, but don't you think he would have reacted more ... "oh, I know what you're doing, stop trying to get to me, you're not fooling anybody" and not like THIS??

he MUST know who exactly this is. yes, maybe this is pure vanilla. propaganda for this theory being that he now has control over his OWN other-realm, and thus would be able to make a connection like this. maybe this is shadow milk cookie himself, or at least the hidden part of him (which would explain the "is this YOUR will" part. maybe this is the part of him that wanted to find out everything there was to know, to quote the crk 4th website. but then something happened, and deceit took over, and that part of him was hidden away.)

it could be ANYONE. for all we know, this could be one of the witches. this could be elder faerie. this could be someone that knows something about shadow milk, or someone who was involved in his past. we don't know.

but one thing I'd like to point out: BEFORE this exchange, the two realms were split: one side clearly vanilla's and the other being shadow milk's. but when he wakes up ... it's all pure vanilla. AND:

maybe it's just me, but he seems GENUINELY shocked here. genuinely afraid. mad? confused. DESPERATE.

and, he cannot control his other-realm anymore. it's vanished. more propaganda for pure vanilla somehow being involved in that light of truth showing up. he threw shadow milk into an abyss, saw his opportunity, and took it.

and THAT is truly one of the best points in this entire episode of beast-yeast.

Ok ok ok ok what if dickjay dating but somehow Dick is the only one "not in the loop". He got lunch delivered to him, they sleep together, do laundry, he got head, and Dick is still 💀 "wow what's all this then" aka a comedy of errors

In his defense, Dick honestly believes he's fallen into his first casual relationship. A no-strings-attached bros with benefits arrangement.

And he's killing it.

No one ever thought they'd see the day, but Dick has done it - from traditionalist to modern man 😎 check him out~

Spoiler: it doesn't last.

At the start though, it's good. There's no pressure, no stress. It's just a good time. A great time, really.

From quickies on the streets to love fucking in the sheets

Dick being caught off guard with how sexually compatible Jason and he are. And a little startled at himself for getting so addicted to it. How can he not love it though? Jason is -- wow.

It's not just the sex, either. They start to gravitate towards one another. It escalates from booty calls to hanging out. Sometimes fucking, sometimes just watching that movie they brought up as pretense to have the other come around.

It's Dick being at Jason's more often than not - crashing on his bed, his laundry mixed with Jason's. It's Jason having a meal waiting when Dick gets home so that he doesn't go from work to patrol hungry. It's Dick stopping on his way home for miscellaneous things that Jason texts him about.

And fuck, if it isn't laughter. Bantering and shooting the shit; Jason bemoaning all the puns but meeting Dick quip for quip. It's adventure as they go about the mundanities of life, challenges as they provoke one another - poking and prodding and playfully tormenting each other. It's easy. Comfortable.

Of course Dick falls in love. They're essentially in a backwards relationship.

A bit of time passes and all at once Dick becomes miserable. All the pride he had about the 'casual modern relationship'? Gone. Dick can't do casual to save his life, but he knows he sucks at commitment so he's (⸝⸝⸝･ᯅ���⸝⸝⸝)◞♥︎

Dick being stressed because this good thing he has going with Jason will be ruined because Dick went and caught feelings

He's a man in distress, help

Jason being sensitive to Dick's change in mood; the newfound tension in how he carries himself around Jason

Which leads to a fight because Jason takes it personal

Which makes Dick fold so fast. He caves, admitting the truth of his feelings to Jason and Jason is 😳 because omgomgwhat?

Because Dick, bless him, is all-in: "I love you."

And it feels good to say; it makes his stomach flip - all butterflies and wonder. And his heart is so warm and full, his smile devastating and Jason is ( ；∀；) because...really?

From Jason's perspective, he thinks of this development as natural progress in their months long relationship

All is well because Jason reciprocates, even if he doesn't drop the l-bomb yet. That's fine though. Dick is over the moon delighted that Jason is giving him a chance; it's amazing!

So of course Dick is on it. Just the sweetest a boyfriend can be.

Dick thinks they're on week 1 of a relationship, meanwhile Jason thinks they're on month 4 or something. Just a big discrepancy and neither of them realize the error yet.

Anyway, Dick finally starts acting like a boyfriend and the shift is a lot for Jason to wrap his head around. It's too sudden; it's too much and it overwhelms him enough that he starts flustering bad. Just. Jason putting on the brakes because he can't fucking breathe he's so flustered help

'Where did all this affection come from?'

'We're dating?'

'Well, yeah.' Jason says, 'It wasn't like this before though.'

Which leads to another error because Dick assumes Jason means that it wasn't like this for Jason before in other relationships.

'In your other relationships?'

'What? No, you're my first- uh, I mean-' Exposed.

Which. Oh. That's. Oh, wow. ///U///

So Dick is reeling from that, but then realization sets in and panic takes over because hold the fuck up. If it's not about that, then...'how long have we been dating?'

'Four months?'

Yep, panic.

'You mean days?'

Confusion twisting Jason's features, but he's always been quick so realization hits fast and his eyes widen because 'omfg, don't even-'

The guilt is immediate. Dick is actually mortified.

'No one told me!'

Jason full on screeching in mortification of his own because 'ffs we did xxxx and xxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!'

The two of them caught in a perpetual state of OTL until Dick starts laughing at it all. And Jason kicks at him, groaning at Dick to stfu Jason is so embarrassed he can't ahhhhhhhhh

Dick smiling at Jason, all warmth and wonder and it devastates Jason the same as it always does. His heart skipping a beat and his gaze softening because Dick looks at him with so much fondness and adoration, 'I still love you.'

And Jason melts, pulling Dick in for a chaste little peck that Dick chases after before laying Jason down, content with the way Jason's arms wrap around the back of Dick's neck and how Jason laughs, incredulous at their accidental shenanigans before breathing the softest, 'i love you, too'

Extra: they have three anniversaries and it's ridiculous but they won't have it any other way.

UM...UM I AM...HYPERVENTILATING....

my honest reaction:

[amphirrhvx]

be careful promoting unverified fundraisers! happilygeneralhideout/Janet Cheptoo is a documented scammer profiting off of the genocide by copying a paragraph of nisreen shaheen’s gofundme https://gofund.me/223a4c96

they’ve been running this scam for months now, every time they are terminated they just make a new blog and spam send the exact same ask, and every time their PayPal account is reported they make a new one under a new name. you can use the tumblr search bar to search their previous names “purity sikuku” or “mercy jerop” or “dennis ochieng” or “julius kipkorir”

would you mind deleting their scam from your blog, or clearly labeling it as a scam so it doesn't spread to others?

thank u anon for telling me this!!! i genuinely had no idea that was a scammer :( so upsetting to hear. i deleted my reblog of the scam, to anyone seeing this please spread the word!!!

If you’re interested, I have some more Hellaverse world-building lore I haven't seen many point out, or even notice for that matter.

How to tell the difference between Sinners and certain Hellborns. Specifically hellhounds, shark demons, snake demons, and dinosaur demons.

For all these demons, the best way to tell them apart from Sinners that look like canines, sharks, snakes, and dinosaurs are the eyes.

All hellhounds have eyes with red sclera and white irises. But if you look at canine Sinners like Crymini, they don't have eyes like this. Other Sinners like Velvette do, but canine Sinners don't.

As for the other demons, you can tell they're Hellborn if they have florescent rings in their eyes. Sinners that look like sharks/snakes/dinosaurs don't have these rings.

I'd imagine that Hellborns are able to easily tell who's a Sinner and who isn't, but Sinners might have more trouble. Which would make for frequent mix-ups and misunderstandings in the Pride Ring, like when a canine Sinner gets confused for a hellhound and gets treated poorly as a result. Or a hellhound who might purposefully pass themself off as a Sinner for better life opportunities not typically afforded to hellhounds.

Ooohhh! That is so cool! I didn't notice that! I'm definitely going to keep that in mind!

I also love it, because it fuels the idea that lowerclass Hellborn (particularly hellhounds) flock to the Pride Ring because they can sometimes be mistaken for Sinners and thus get way better job opportunities. That, combined with Sinners having a hard time telling who is Hellborn AND my headcanon that the Overlords can't own Hellborn souls (they can only own the souls of other Sinners), gives them so much more leg room to actually make a good life for themselves.

There's also so much to be had for the opposite with canine-looking Sinners being mistaken for hellhounds and thus being treated like shit by higher class Hellborn. Canine Sinners 🤝 Hellhounds "fuck classism" solidarity.

you ever just chilling and then remember the scene in teen wolf when Scott hugs Stiles so tight and tells him they'll figure it out in the hospital when they thought Stiles might have the same thing his mom had and then you burst into tears over it??? or am I just severely sleep deprived

well NOW I have anon. thank you so much for that reminder. god that scene fucking destroys me, that is like?? the best hug in all of teen wolf (I haven't watched past season 4 idk if there are better hugs after but I doubt it)?? the fucking emotions?? the tears in their eyes?? the preemptive grief/desperation of them both KNOWING scott means turning stiles as a last resort, and stiles would probably let him?? the history between them in that scene that you feel like you could touch its so palpable?? the knowledge they BOTH have of what this means for stiles if they dont do anything about it?? their hold on each other that is promise and apology both??? im ill.

so yeah, yeah I guess I do periodically remember that scene. I want to rewatch season 3b now
