#the eclipse discourse

[forkaround]

What I need people to realize is there shouldn't be an either-or in BLs to begin with. It's not either Kinnporsche level high heat problematic content or 2gether level inoffensiveness. It's not either Moonlight Chicken honesty or BL Alt reality where being gay is okay. It's not either GMMTV softness or MAME level angst. It's not either SOTUS level bad jokes or Cutie Pie level political correctness.

One would think that shows about people on a spectrum would have an audience that understands the concept of spectrums and evidently I would be wrong.

Liking one over the other doesn't make you a better, right-er person.

What is significant and important is that this content gets made. Pre mid 2010s there wasn't any such content, anywhere! So chill the fuck out and enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy even if it is completely different.

Finding your blog and the first thing we see is that disgusting flag around Eclipse. Gross. Way to be homophobic. Eclipse is implied canon gay, boo

Omg I’ve gotten popular enough that these guys found me? I’m almost flattered! /hj

This is funny though. First tag on that post was “This is a headcanon”

And people are allowed to have hcs, silly anon. Not sure where you think it was implied he was canonically gay though?? Did we watch the same show?

Are you proud of yourself? Do you think in 10 years you’re going to look back on these posts harassing aspec people for making content about non-romantic things in a little fandom about silly robots and think “Wow, I sure did show them!” ?

Get a grip.

*clasps your face tenderly in my hands, and whispers in your ear*

Listen, I do not care if The Eclipse episodes of Our Skyy 2 are just 45 minutes of Akk and Ayan doing the chicken dance, all I want, all I am asking for is for my son, Akk, to be able to have some unrestrained, summer fun. I want that boy smiling, I want that boy flirting with his boyfriend, I want that boy to get to be a goddamn teenager. If Akk is happy, I am happy. Am I making myself clear?

*Kisses your forehead and disappears in a cloud of smoke*

Got asked this by a friend:

Why do i talk abt my QPR ships like they are actual ships? And tag it like they are?

First of all, they are technically still ships. Secondly, i was called out a while back (maybe a year ago?) that QPR relationships are not any less than actual love and should be treated like that, again i was young and dumb and didnt know that so now i try to tag my stuff correctly. Third, ive seen multiple ship art that can be seen as QPR yet non-shippers still do not want to see it. I would like to respect their boundaries.

Extra notes: All of my ships are QPR except for Solar x ruin(jigsaw) but even for those two there is NO 18+ THINGS i am a MINOR (suggestive jokes are fine i kinda find them funny at times)

So yes, (Solstice) Dark sun x Eclipse is QPR so if u do make art for the aus that have that ship pls do not show them kissing- (yes i have had sm ask if they would kiss, not any anon or moot, an irl friend)

These people are really getting comfortable with calling queer women mostly consuming mlm media and queer men mostly consuming wlw media fetisizers, huh?

[lupinedreaming]

Not me coming across more discourse about how it’s questionable to be attracted to xenomorphs. SIGH

A.) Once again, they are fictional. They do not exist and nothing remotely like them exists

B.) While it’s fine if you wish to stick to the Harkness Test for the monsters you thirst over, this is a completely made up rubric for monsters and aliens which, again DO NOT EXIST.

This is like debating the morality of selfcest. This is dumb. Selfcest and monsterfucking are literally impossible. And me thirsting after an alien species that cannot speak affects nothing and no one

am i the only person who straight up hates mlpfim season 2 episode luna eclipsed like. it falls so flat with the messaging of it. of course luna is upset about the holiday mocking her and wants to change it. of course she's confused and upset that everyone still hates her.

it's just. wow. it's so poorly written and it sucks. pinky admitting that she isn't even afraid of luna but it's "fun to be scared" and so she riles everyone up and pretends to be scared of luna and runs away. like how did this make it through test audiences or whatever the hell they do because that is the exact same way that i and i'm sure a lot of other kids were bullied (and also some of the kids who watched the show at the time of it's release were being bullied)

it literally turns pinky into a bully? the whole episode is more focused on how everyone else feels and how luna isn't being a good sport that people are screaming and running away from her even though she's trying so hard. even adding in a scene where pinky apologizes to luna for roping luna into a joke where she's the punchline would have saved the episode in my opinion, but pinky never faces any consequences for her actions- which are, again, bullying someone

i'm not dissing the characters themselves here, this is really about the writers. like it feels like they had a good opportunity to do something with this episode and just fumbled the whole thing. it's so mean spirited and backwards to me. luna getting in on the joke in the end is fine, but it would have been even better if she'd gotten an apology and the ability to express her hurt feelings to more than just twilight.

it makes sense that some ponies are legitimately afraid of luna, they, their parents, their grand parents, their great grandparents ect ect ect grew up with stories about her being the literal boogyman and some of them didnt even think she was real anymore and then she shows up- that's going to be scary! but the elements of harmony should have a better understanding of her, not just twilight. they all saw luna turn into her filly form and cry in her sister's arms! (hooves?)

i'm not saying it's a bad premise for an episode but there are five million other ways that it could have been written that didn't amount to "when people are mocking you and screaming and pretending you're trying to eat them it's your fault for not getting in on the joke"

idk man. the whole thing is so out of character

[delightingintragedy]

guys..... you know you can still give offerings to your deities on a solar eclipse, right? you can pray and worship. like... paganism isnt witchcraft. its spells and magic people are saying go wrong, not religious worship.

[technowings]

Just scrolling thru the new vid to see if there was a new body reveal...

Nexus:( words words) surveillance of the family (words)

Moon: they're not your family

WOW

WOW

OK

Nexus: (more words) they're reeeallly gonna hate the new me

Moon: how is the new you worse than the old you

WOW

How's the view from that highest of horses there OMoon?

Edit: NO ONE TOLD LUNAR THEY MOVED?????

[bittyfromquotev]

Is it bad that I wish Solar didn’t exist? Maybe then people wouldn’t have gotten so attached to the idea of SolarMoon/Nexus. And he’s one of my favorites, for crying out loud!

It’s a valid opinion. It might not have happened, but then maybe people would’ve been obsessed with either Moon x Monty or Moon x Eclipse.

Idk man ;-;

[forkaround]

Nothing against the girlies but for once I would like to see guys gushing over the lead's romance. and not side character guys, one off guest character type guys. Guys deserve to gush over romance too.

Rewatching the owl house and cause this on screen for a second at the beginning of s2e9 “Eclipse Lake” he then is keeping Hunter off missions cause he wants to keep him safe in the castle cause “it would be a hassle to find a replacement” in previous episodes they failed to hunt the selkidomus and a raid on the resting place of the galdorstones just beefed up security. That’s why he pulls Hunter back from the front lines, he suddenly has become a lot less expendable since he can’t be easily replaced with a new grimwalker which he was clearly thinking of cause every time hunter/golden guards start to develop independence and critical thinking they start defying him.

TSAMS really getting into some ship of Theseus stuff lately.

Not that they weren't from the beginning, but it just seems especially noticeable now.
