Haiii - just wanted to ask, how many people have told you you’ve altered their religious beliefs? I’m debating being Christian bc of you (and some other influences like the fallout new Vegas man lmao)
Um! A few! Which is very fascinating but I would like to put a little disclaimer that I don't do art to convert people 🙏 hahaha a lot of it genuinely stems from my interest in the bible. I'm very critical of the church and the religion as a whole while still being part of it! So if you genuinely do want to try being christian, then yeah definitely go explore it, but you have to understand that it is a Very tumultuous environment and I'd say spirituality comes before religion in a way. Make sure to do your research and find a good community to connect with

A lot of people in the iwtv Fandom regurgitate antiblack talking points particularly wrt Louis being femme/effeminate/gnc and it's genuinely so disgusting like no, Louis is not making his partners engage in domestic labor when they participate in the businesses and investments they are partial owners of. No, Louis is not being the patriarch of rue royale when lestat leaves the house after beating Louis within an inch of his life. No Louis is not "masculine for his culture" especially when compared to other black men in the same time period. People will actively ignore canon to make Louis into this hypermasculine black brute and Lestatr or armand into these shrinking violets that are oppressed by Louis when he's not that at all. The only times he's ever acted even close to that stereotype is to assimilate into a white supremacist society that expected that of him in order for him to earn a living and to please Armand, which causes him great distress and visibly worsens his mental health to the point of Louis lashing out at Claudia and being so entirely numb that he self harms. Louis is not this hypermasculine black brute and a lot of people try to make him into one bc of unconscious bias surrounding black people (black people have been stereotyped as hypermasculine, angry, overly violent and sexual deviants since the 1700s) or to absolve their non black favs of the actual patriarchal and oppressive violence they enact on Louis and Claudia or a combination of the two. It's disgusting, do better
#interview with the vampire#iwtv#amc iwtv#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv 2022#ldpdl#armand iwtv#loustat#loumand#fandom antiblackness#fandom racism#saw the most disgusting post saying lestat was calling himself melisadae in come to me and not the other way around like#that wasnt the whole crux of the post but that stuck out to me bc its the biggest indicator of how nb people will twist themselves in knots#to make lestat into this hyperfemme thats being taken advantage of by the big black brute louis#the evidence stares you in the face and yet people are like no louis is the oppressor like please listen to yourselves#louis is feminine in canon! he wears outfits that routinely signal feminine (silk scarves) and armand mocks his feminine behaviors#and when louis isnt interested in the painting of the battle in ep 4 armand tells him to go look at paintibgs of fruit and flowers#most of Louis’s behaviors signal as feminine to his family and other black people. his mama talking about his nails and glasses and clothes#the white daddy comment like people see louis as feminine bc he is!#THE NIGGA DRINKS TOM COLLINS WHICH IS JUST A LEMONADE WITH FLOWER LIQUOR IN IT AND MARTINIS HES EFFEMINATE#saw someone say that bc louis was reading lestats copy of madame bovary (that he bought for louis) he was the masc one and i just cant#lestat literally bought the stylish clothes and books and furniture that louis said were nice and we know that cus it literally happens ep 1#louis pushes Lestat’s buttons by telling him hes not actually cultured bc he doesnt read the books he owns but louis does#lestat is not some shrinking violet at the whims of louis he says so himself in s2e7#like yall are ridiculous

imagine if jyp wasn't a horrifically stingy company and just hired some full time translators and gave them access to the footage a fair amount of time before publishing it, or something... crazy idea, i know
#its funny too bc skz makes them so much money but theyre really kinda disrespecting them by not properly representing their words#and also setting them up for a scandal when something that is incorrectly or badly translated will inevitably slip through#and cause a controversy#like just stop being cheap... thats the crux of it#half these videos were filmed months ago too so its not even like something thats being rushed out they have had the time to do that#but simply choose not to

Can you shower us with circumventing death lore please? (chaotic besties cj and Donnie my beloved)
i have only angst facts .... like how the (soon to be) running gag of donnie refusing sleep for several days at a time is directly correlated with his lost sense of time in technodrome and the fear that he's just going to wake up back there (<- cptsd moment), and how f!april watched f!donnie die, and how technically f!leo is responsible for the deaths of ALL his brothers, and how because of everything that happened f!raph of all people (who is AFRAID OF BEING ALONE) is going to spend the afterlife without any of his brothers,
#ask#circumventing death#sometimes i think about cvd f!raph and want to cry. oh my god dude.#he's not a perfect person but i think thats the crux of like. everything with him and leo. neither of them were in the right#he was doing the best he possibly could in his circumstances. at what point do you prioritize love over duty?#actually that is like the THEME of cvd and its centered around every single self-sacrifice involved#f!raph was actually the only one who didn't do that. he was murdered. his life was cut short and he didn't want to die#but its deeply baked into his character and the way he treats leo#god god god f!raph didn't want to die and he doesn't even have the benefit of seeing his brothers again im going to hurl

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.
These two turned out to be... not the best choices.
The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.
To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.
#my art#tf reconstruction#transformers#bumblebee movie#tf shatter#tf dropkick#maccadam#transformers au#semi-introduction to my idea for antagonists in tf:r - specifically being movie villains slotted into my au#bc if the main crux of the main reconstruction story in autobot city is about hot rod and her rise to becoming rodimus prime#which comes from the First movie - why not loosely adapt other movies too??#ive got ideas for most of them already - kinda jumping back and forth between the modern day story and my pre-war ''downfall'' story#which gives my brain a break from thinking about one to think about another#anyway - i imagine the first ''episode'' of tf:r would be like. hot rod shows up in autobot city on her first day > meets the team#> gets assigned arcee as her partner > arcee hates it > they over hear shatter talking to someone they don't recognise because rod's nosey#> huh that's weird > they intercept it next time by accident > its a communication to starscream about the city's defenses#> they take it to ultra magnus but they break the pad on the way because they were arguing about it#> ''hot rod i know you're new here. and you're intrigued about the war and everything. but we shouldn't be suspicious of everyone wearing a#purple badge. give them a chance.'' > arcee drops it bc she doesn't wanna start trouble + ''magnus will handle it. he always does somehow.'#> rod does not drop it and makes blaster monitor shatter's messages for anything unusual > blaster indulges her bc he's endeared to her#> he does end up intercepting an encrypted message > rod immediately acts and chases after shatter and dropkick on an outside-city mission#> arcee goes after her to stop her from fucking up really bad > blaster unencrypts the message. it's a rendezvous point to start an invasio#> magnus kup blaster and perceptor all head out to help the two young'uns before they get in over their heads#> rod and arcee meet and fight starscream and barely make it out by the skin of the teeth thanks to the more experienced autobots arrival#> starscream shatter dropkick and whoever else is there are driven off#> day is saved - magnus commends rod's gut instincts but rod goes back to what magnus said about not trusting bots with purple badges#> she was right this time but its an exception not a rule and most other decepticons in the city want to live in peace#> magnus also commends that attitude and the team head back > starscream starts plotting his Next Big Plan#''post credits'' scene of magnus putting the request in for springer and blurr + robot dinosaur opening its eye in the dark👀👀#longwinded but ya thats like the Clearest idea for Specific Events so far other things are Stuff I Want To Happen

CRAZY WORK.#i KNOWW its bc disney couldnt afford the gpa actor for the sequel but like. what the fuck man. thetes literally 2 characters that make the#boards just fucking.. PUT THEM TOGETHER. ONLY HAVE HIM SAY “yeah mack ive working with your grandpa lately” THATS IT !!!!!!!!!#ypu can keep him cagey abt the surfboard hes making or whatever#AND ANOTHER THING WHY DID THEY DEFACE MACKS FAMILY HEIRLOOMMMMMMMMMM#OH MY GODDDDDDD U HATED THATTTTTTT#brady what did they do to you......massacred him...........#has his fucking.... singing gear (why does he sing now. yes ik aeare its bc disney wanted to market off of ross lynch singing.) in an open#patio with no walls windchimes swanging and tv on bros mic quality must be fucking SHIT#thay also made tanner austistic as hell which i found pretty funny but irritatingwhen he didnt want to go in the water after lela in the#beginning of the film. hes a fucking surfer. why would. why would he be hesitant of going in the WATER.#mack was not as affected in the character assasinating but she felt different than the first movie i think#its bc they really pushed her into the nerd role when like. yeah she could be a nerd but did you have to make the fucking bookworm joke.#cmon man not cool shes just busy :[#the fallin for you reprise with cheechee was fun i wish we had more scenes with the side characters#chiangy.txt

increasingly endeared lately by the prospect of mob falling in love with tsubomi all over again when he meets her "real" self
#scribbles#mp100#mob psycho 100#tsubomi takane#shigeo kageyama#tsumob#tsumob is a ship i am INCREDIBLY picky about because. obviously the show is built on the crux that its unreciprocated#and i also believe firmly in aro tsubomi#but the two of them have a lot in common and i like the idea of them kind of starting over postcanon#and that can lead anywhere. im endeared by them being qpps but thats also my aroace bias talking LOL i'll make any ship a qpr

I've heard there's heated debate on this topic but I Do Not Care, I formed a solid opinion the first time I saw one of his win screens
^ This guy HAS to be 15 ^
#my skin deep observation is that he looks a lot younger than the rest of the cast#his design uses a lot of rounded shapes aroud his face like how his glasses and how his hair sits#but he also reads as a lot smaller than the other fighters. they emphasise that a lot about him in my eyes#obviously the bed does a lot of work but even outside of it he feels like he's designed to draw attention to that#his outfit being so simple and the markings on his arms and legs kind of like. draw your eye to how small he looks if that makes sense?#there's no attempt to make him look bigger outside of the bed despite how puffed up he acts from what I've seen of him#it feels very intentional yk?#speaking of how he acts that is my crux. this guy acts 15 and I won't accept otherwise because OOF I acted that way as a know it all 15 y/o#I don't know- I just can't not read him as *young* from his design and the few lines I've heard from him#also you may notice I didn't use his name this whole post-#well thats because this ramble was prompted by another post I saw-#apparently there's a weirdo you can summon like beetlejuice if you mention him#and I'm not trying to get involved with that- I just wanted to ramble a little bit about how I see him so far#because I find him interesting! and a bit of that is definitely from how put together he's trying to present himself#but because of how he goes about it I can only read him as someone who is young and desperate to be taken seriously#anyway- I'm done talking about characters I don't know now!#sorry if I'm off base about any of this#yappin'

im a little worried with mouthwashing becoming blorbo game that people are going to brush over the horrific misogyny in anya and jimmy's relationship. that anya was worried (and rightfully so given what happened) that jimmy would literally kill her. just worried they'll brush past that bc problematic man fun
#it made me kinda sad when that part of the story was revealed because the crux of the thing is misogyny now#and how jimmy (is that his name--( was actively that while curly was passively#i dont think it made the game any less good or anything misogyny just depresses me lol#look at what could've been avoided had they provided contraceptives smh#thats another thing too it was SO easy to avoid#contraceptives! not being a misogynist!#if only!!#that also isn't a criticism of the game because i get why it happened like it did its just frustrating#maybe frustrating especially because it reflects the irrationality of real life

just had to block someone on tik tok bc they said people give regulus lily’s personality & tweak it slightly and i want to scream 😭 bc no ?? i don’t think i’ve read many fics where they have similar personalities at all. if anything in aus or canon divergent fics i’ve seen their personalities clash before warming up to each other. like sure they might have overlapping character traits like enjoying reading & being studious but imo i think that’s where the similarities end. similarly i’ve also seen people say that about pandora & luna as well, that pandora is given luna’s personality in fics (although i do understand where it’s coming from, i do disagree w/ the sentiment). idk maybe it’s the fics i read or the characterizations i enjoy, but i would never say that any of them were “given” the other characters personality. i would love to hear your thoughts especially about pandora being “given” luna’s personality in fics but pls feel free to ignore me !!
WAIT ABAHAHA I HAVE A DRAFT OF THIS CAN I DO TWO IN ONE!? im doing two in one !! first cut is pandora, next cut is lily/reg.
oh. i can only do one cut. oopsie. okay pandora is here and lily/reg is under the cut
luna and pandora i actually dont have many thoughts on?? i think i tend to characterise them quite similarly as well which i'm just noticing now !!
i think the big difference for me is how pandora died and how that plays into her personality? like i see her as a lot more headstrong and action-based than luna? not to say that luna doesn't do anything, but that pandora will rush into it regardless of visions etc and luna does it based on them ?? if that makes sense ??
woah. we've unlocked something i cant talk about. rarely seen before. might have to update the software (read more pandora centric fics) ANYWAY!
something i can yap an atrocious amount under the cut for people that want to avoid these discussions 🫶🏻
im now realising that this isn't EXACTLY what you were saying, but it does touch upon their different personalities and dynamics
but yeah. sorry, it's like 4am none of this will be coherent i fear.
#asks#i kinda fw answering stuff under the cuts#i might start doing that with the more contentious topics#because i really enjoy discussing them#but i dont want them to come across as *me* being contentious or like#putting those narratives onto peoples pages#because whilst i love discussing them i know others dont and thats so valid#and i dont want to come off controversial for these discussions im just a yappy guy#yapping to myself here arent i#anyway!!! gonna start putting them under cuts is the crux of what im saying

That han fancall is truly truly truly like the most horrendously embarrassing and deeply unsettling shit ever
#and this is why i truly barely follow any han or lee know people outside of tumblr bc everywhere else#its not even that theyre cringe inducing (though they are) but so many times it goes beyond into somethinf that i think is actually truly#unwell and like. deeply parasocial and unhealthy and creepy to a worrying degree#yeah kpop attracts that in general but those two especially just have so many hardcore fans that are simply worrying#like thats the crux of it#i see fans on twt on ig in the youtube comments and i actually am like Oh im worried by you#its not normal !! its weird !!#like getting his tattoo asking rude questions??? leave and dont come back and become normal#also seeing someone say theyre just trying to find out if theyre 'canon' these are real people you fucking lunatics

tell about your lab rat (mouse stuck in time loop). what is the time loop.. why r they there.. any hobbies..
SICK OKAY.
'timeloop' is a bit of a misnomer? more accurately: mouse is stuck in the timeloops. plural.
they started at some point after she turned fifteen. not on her birthday, not really on a significant day at all. they got caught up in something, they died, and then they go back. eventually, after solving the 'big problem' the timeloop ends. and everything goes back to normal! happy ending! no ones hurt, no ones suffering!
the next day goes on as normal. she gets up, she goes to bed.
and she wakes up the same day. again.
the time the loops last and the time between them vary wildly. sometimes theres days between a new loop. sometimes its hours.
so they solve the problems. and the loops break! its like nothing ever happened! but things DID happen! and mouse is stuck there! suffering alone!!! and no one can see but them! their body changes, just subtle things. just enough that she looks at herself and doesnt see a human looking back. but no one else seems to notice. or if they do, no one says anything.
isnt it enough that shes helping people? why wont it end? why does she have to suffer this way? shes helping, isnt she? isnt that good? isnt what theyre doing good? doesnt it make people like them?
mouse murdock has been fifteen for ten years. she is tired.
...
anyhow mouse likes science fiction and journaling!!! they do fancy notes!! or at least they try to. also!!! meteorology!!!! she really likes the weather. maybe shell go into it. if they ever get physically old enough for it at least.
also mouse gained nouns in the timeloop. hits them with the they beam.
#asks#basil answers#discatded#SHES SOOOO!!!!!!!#mouse <3#this wasnt their original story but its the one thats been floating in my head for her for like two and a half years.#the actual crux of it is like.#'if you only let yourself feel loved when youre helping others then youre dooming yourself'#ocs: alien girl
