#the fanbase was freaking the fuck out it was great

[coern]

i had a dream that they killed tsukasa for the anniv and he hung out as a ghost for the rest of the game

[devilsskettle]

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill

ARABELLA → e. hewson

pairing — elijah hewson x famous!fem!reader

summary —every popular man needs an even more popular girlfriend and rn that's you babe xx

written for this request

wraps her lips round the mexican coke, makes you wish that you were the bottle

you're such a fan fav.

like whenever you're at inhaler gigs they're almost more excited to take pictures with you than with the band

if you work in the limelight as well (singer, model, actress, etc) his fanbase is your fanbase.

pictures of you and elijah (and just you) are very common profile pics for inhaler twt and tiktok

he's very aware that he's the arm candy in the relationship

he can't complain tho, he gets it

obsessed bf, pretty gf dynamic

goes without saying that you've got more than a few songs written about you

if you're irish (self projecting) you would be freaking out with him and the lads over them playing in slane (and for opening hslot ofc)

in famous!reader headcanons i always see "his insta is a fanpage for you" and i raise you one, your insta is a fanpage for HIM!!

litch whenever an album drops, it's on the story and in a post. they announced tour dates? posted. they're opening for someone? posted. they fall asleep on your couch after a show? posted. you see a cute fan edit? saved, commented, and posted.

you're visibly down bad for him

BUT DONT WORRY hes visibly down bad for you too

if you're a singer, people are getting videos of him with the biggest heart eyes chilling in the vip section

if you're an actress, pictures of him staring at you on the red carpet or during interviews haunt the rockstar gf pinterest girlies

if you're a model you better believe that there has never been a show of yours when everyone can see him smiling in the front row

your little fanboy <3

forehead kisses for the win!!!

AND AND AND!!!!!! a hand on the small of your back at all times

definitely does the thumb thing when you're holding hands

he follows the sidewalk rule like it's a law

tells u abt the time he got abducted by aliens to help u sleep xx

he doesn't really fuck with spooning but will always rest easier if your head is on his chest and his arm is around you

i feel like if you're a very excitable person (self projecting again) he's such a listener

like you could be rambling about the most random thing in the world, and he'll just sit there nodding with a cute little smile on his face

he'd be great to gossip with, i think, but that might just be the irish in him

it's pretty much mandatory that you get on well with the rest of the bad bcs if you're not busy yourself, eli is dragging you on tour with them

if you were in the industry longer than them i feel like you'd all have some really good chats

like giving them advice on how to deal with anxiety and helping them through any doubts or fears they have

they all appreciate having you around even if ye take the piss out of each other 24/7

it's loving banter <3

you'd get mentioned in interviews a few times

never by name tho

because eli's so private and doesn't want to end up with the bands success being attributed to you he'd never be like "oh, y/n said this, y/n said that"

instead he'd be like "oh, yeah my girlfriend's been here before so she's been telling us where to go and all"

if the others ever brought you up it'd be to take the piss out of eli

"yeah his girlfriend had to drag him out the bus this morning" "he wouldn't shut up till we brought his girlfriend over" stuff like that

you and eli would have some proper deep chats i feel

he trusts you so much

each others ride or dies fr

fans hope you get married

he does too

overall, any comment section under a pic of the two of you is filled with people crediting ye for their bisexuality xx

[red-might-be-dead]

hello hi here to force strange thoughts into your brain once again, this time about jrwi (wow who could’ve guessed)

been thinking about this for a little but it’s basically what i think some campaigns would be if not podcasts, i haven’t listened to some of the older ones so i’m sorry they’re not on here :(( if you have any ideas feel free to add them btw :DD

RIPTIDE!!!!! - really long animated series

not an anime though, no matter how much grizzly wants it, it would be an animation style where the characters could have very clearly different nose, face and body shapes, really pushing my riptide nose agenda here sorry, each episode would be like 20-40 minutes long and instead of coming out in seasons there would be massive gaps in between episodes, from 2-6 months long, to leave time for writers and animators to get stuff done (massive team of animators btw, i feel like it would be pretty successful)

PRIME DEFENDERS!! - comics

literally nothing else they could be, just really well made, well performing comics (i’ve already talked about this before you can stalk my talk tag if you really want to find it lmao), the comic company making them would be keeping well away from movies n shit btw

APOTHEOSIS!!! - i wasn’t really sure about this one to be honest

i had to ask my friend and she said anime which i don’t agree with but i can see it, i think maybe a short book series where each book is 150 - 300 pages and is about a different god they have to kill/a different episode, i think that works but if anyone has any better ideas please tell me :D!!

BLOOD IN THE BAYOU!!! - i hate to say it, i really do…

bitb would be a really long really good 80s horror book with strong homoerotic undertones, a satisfied fanbase and lots of active members in the community making fan comics, films, writing, theories and art ect… until well after the book came out……….. and then it would be made into the most egregious and awful live action movie you have ever seen, the most awful casting (like chris pratt as officer dudes….. throws up) and even worse sfx, oh yeah and the characters would be ruined and the story would become so butchered it wouldn’t make sense, they would do some shit like cut out becky so kian just kisses some random lady (removing both a really good and well written character and a layer of kian’s character that i think is super important) and make rolan really be an evil bug spy the whole time so rand has to kill him to save the town also add in a whole new sub plot that never existed like the rand family is secretly a long line of bug alien hunters or something fucking stupid like that and the entire fanbase would murder whoever thought re-writing the story was a good idea (ahaha can you tell ive been through something like this before ahahaha, character morals and motives being removed and whatnot ahahahhahahaha.)

anyways………

THE SUCKENING!!! - live action series

it would be well made though, unlike the bitb movie it would be its own original thing, have great makeup and effects also be well casted and well shot, well written, ect ect, it would bloody and gory and not suitable for people who can’t handle showing bones and organs all over everywhere, lots of shitty rip off merch would be made though and the fandom would be 99% gay little freaks (normal suckening enjoyers) and 1% homophobic straight white men who get mad whenever they see soda and emizel having gay sex on screen or whatever fag shit that biting thing was

again feel free to add your thoughts and ideas and shit in the reblogs it would be nice to read them :DD!!

The new smg4 episode review!

Alright! this'll be a different one for tonight, and sorry for not posting again. But, anyhow you read the title so let's start with the Puzzles club house episode!

So, I just wanna say.. this episode was by far what I expected. I knew Mickey was going to make a deal with him! and I wasn't expecting the plot twist near the end!! But I also had fun watching this one.

1st, This scene made me think that this wasn't the first time Mickey asked Puzzles to make a deal with him. Nothing important but, thought it was nice.

2nd, when Mickey mentioned that the engine room was the most important I knew Puzzles was plotting something!! Poor Mickey didn't see it coming!😂 Plus this face is my new favorite now, don't ask me why. I just love sassy facial expressions!

And, Puzzles's sassyness was hilarious during the episode and I'm actually glad he wasn't dumb enough to join Mickey. At least not quickly, and I'm glad the creators didn't downgrade him!

3rd, I freakin' love these scenes!, and like WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!! Puzzles my guy!! WHO KNEW YOU HAD THAT IN YOU!!!!! ASGFHHGGYTNGSYGGLUDXHTJYUKGHHDRYETFVHHESY Sorry, for overreacting but you know! He killed Mickey and remade this carnival into his own! I can't be the only one who freaked out during this scene!! And he new faces holy crap! Those three new ones were just *Chefs kiss* perfecto!

Also, glad he's become intimidating again, I genuinely thought the creators didn't want to ruin the fanbases image of the guy. You know, the 'uwu cutesy Puzzles' I'm just glad they took the idea to give us a reason to be afraid of Puzzles.

Side note: I loved him when he said the line. Ya'll have no idea how many times I replayed this specific scene.

4th, More of Puzzles backstory!?! yes! I was excited to know more about him!

And I take back what I said when I thought Puzzles's father was a great person, like boy! was I wrong!!😂😂

Also, I saw a commenter on a community post on Youtube saying that the showgrounds was Puzzles's first attempt on making his dreams a reality, but he abandoned it. Which I find pretty saddening cause he had a dream to make people happy and entertain them with his carnival.

Side note again: Isn't this forshadowing him turning Meggy into Leggy forcefully?? you know, in the last part of the episode where he ordered his guards to crush Meggy into Leggy?!!

5th, Hearing him saying this was genuinely heartbreaking imo. All he ever wanted was to bring a smile to people's faces to entertain others, his father and (probably his classmates) got in the way of that. Although I won't forgive him for his actions, I certantly understand why he acted the way he did, and became a villain.

Side note I'm sorry there's so many!!: These scenes were funny as fuck. Don't change my mind.

6th I was wondering what he was doing in the engine room.

Oh, now I get it!! must've been painful to merge yourself with that thing though.. now I feel even more bad for him than before.

Overall this is the best episode by far!! I also love how the creators showed how Meggy is traumatized and angry at Mr Puzzles, (Rightfully so) and she didn't forget about it. I just don't know what to say, I know I'm late to the hype train but I'm just glad to see this masterpiece!!!!

The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro

4.5/5⭐️

CW: spoilers

I literally got out of school the day this book came out and went to the store to buy it. That’s how excited for this book I was. I was like, no, this has got to be the hard cover and I need it now. So that’s the backstory of how excited I was for this now let’s get into the review.

In all, it was a good book. I really liked the story line of Nico and Will going to go save Bob and them growing as people along the way. So you know what, for plot, I really liked it. There were a few things though that I wasn’t that big of a fan of. The first being it didn’t feel like I fit the target audience, now I now all of the Percy Jackson books are YA or middle grade, they’re targeted to that younger audience but this book felt like more of the older fanbase was interested in it. Which is good and well, but because it is still in the lower YA age range is felt off. There were so many things that could’ve happened, the main thing I really wanted was more of Nico’s trauma of his first time in Tartarus brought up. Mainly because so much of the fanbase forgets that he was the first to go into Tartarus, alone mind you, and now he’s back again. And it was just, there were so many times I felt like Rick/Oshiro could’ve added something, maybe having Nico’s internal monologue speeding up, showing he’s freaking the hell out because it’s just just his life on the line, Wills’ is too. How if Will is off somewhere Nico is freaking out because he’s about to go back to his worst nightmare. The first time he was in Tartarus it was a suicide mission but it was only him down there, now a suicide mission with his boyfriend? I feel like he should have been freaking out more.

I did like how Nico and Will worked through their relationship a bit and grew, but Will never really had the spotlight. It was more of the Nico show with Will on the sidelines. A lot of people tend to just see Will as Nico’s boyfriend, and honestly I was hoping that this book would give Will his chance to shine and ya know, be fucking badass. And I know he wasn’t doing to hot because he’s a son of Apollo and they’re in the deepest part of hell, but I wish he had more times being shows as competent and cool and his own person.

We had a lot of Will freaking out and needing to lean on Nico for support, which makes sense and all, but I do still wish there was a spot where Nico just broke and had to lean on Will for support. Show how he had done his best to compartmentalize his first time is Tartarus to the best of his abilities but now being back he just can’t and he needs to lean on Will but is reluctant because Will is going through his own struggles.

I will say though, I did like the fight with Nyx and it wasn’t about them defeating her, but getting Bob back. The Cocoa Puffs being a manifestation of Nico’s struggles are cool, but it feels weird for some reason. Like, oh yeah here’s all of your trauma as little anamorphic animal things and you’re going to take them with you. It’s a little strange. And again, getting on that boat and then leaving would have been just a great time for Nico to just break because holy hell he’s just survived he’s worst nightmare a second time.

Now, I have this rated high because I did like it. It had a few proofreading mistakes and I wish some things were written for a more mature audience but I recognize that this is a younger YA series that isn’t trying to traumatize its readers. For a long time fan of the books that is on the older end I might not recommend this book (although if you really like Nico and Will go for it anyway because it is so much fun to see them have their own thing). For a younger reader though I would definitely recommend reading this book, it’s not super hard to read (none of the Percy books are) and it explores characters that in the past were more side characters.

[xplrvibes]

So, I don't know if any of you heard, but Sam and Colby put out a video the other day that they have been hyping up for weeks as being one that will "change the world."

And I have thoughts about that.

Now, I want to preface this with two things:

Opinions are not law. My opinion is not going to now become the de facto/definitive version of events for all of time. I'm just one dope on the internet, out of gazillions. Keep that in mind, please.

Sam and Colby are NOT on tumblr, so they will not see my opinion. Even if they were, however, they did ask for any and all opinions, theories, and possible ways to debunk what happened, so nothing I say in this is shitting in the face of their entire lives and careers.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is this- I am not trying to tear them down, shit all over them, ruin their lives, or whatever. I am one person, with one opinion- and spoiler alert: my opinion is favorable. I really did thoroughly enjoy this episode. I am very happy for them and how everything turned out. I rated it an 8/10. That's really high praise, coming from me.

My opinion just isn't exactly what 99% of the shall we call them "dedicated" fanbase is saying right now.

And that is OKAY.

Now, with all my disclaimers and legal notices out of the way, the rest of this op-ed will be behind a cut for safe keeping:

Before I get into the meat of this whole video, I want to spend some time talking about the stuff that nobody is talking about: the first 20 minutes.

First of all, can I tell you that I have never been so happy and relieved in my life that these two spent the first day there alone? I'm going to be very honest with you- one of my biggest issues with this series heading into it, was that they brought on all these people that I do not care about (no offense to the people in question) to take part in this whole thing, and I just. don't. care. anymore.

I hate these collabs. I hate them all. Even if the person winds up being nice, like Niki- I'm fucking sick of it. So so so sick of it. I don't know these people, I don't have any loyalty to them, I think 99% of them do not take this seriously and act like fools and have childish potty humor and it's been getting me to the point where I have barely made it through some of their most recent videos.

So, seeing it be only Sam and Colby...ah, what a sigh of relief.

Seeing them together without all the yelling streamers (read my opening statements if this offends) just reminds me of how great they are together when it's just the two of them with no outside influence. They really sell themselves short- they are, and can very much continue to be, the star attraction. They would do well to remember that.

Anyway, early on in this video, something kind of interesting happens that is, as per their normal MO when this happens, never really brought up again (at least in this episode)- they go upstairs and Colby very casually announces that this one particular room makes him physically ill every time he enters it.

Now, anyone who's been on my blog long enough knows that one of my biggest pet peeves about snc is that they never let Colby and his literal gut instinct cook long enough. The man has, at the very bare minimum, a great instinct for sussing out the energy and vibe of a room but they never let him fucking sit there and do it. It drives me absolutely freaking nuts.

So, this is something that I'm highlighting because I hope they get more into it in a future episode...but the thing about Colby is, as soon as all the others show up, he'll just sit in the back and let the others pretend they're psychics the whole time and never mention this again...so I do not have high hopes.

Now, they come downstairs and Colby starts declaring the dining room as a safe area for him, only to turn around and be faced with his mortal nemesis...a cheap reproduction of Robert the Doll. This brings me to my next sub-topic:

Enough with the Fucking Doll.

No seriously. Stop. Stop with the cancer conspiracy, stop apologizing to the damn doll in the youtube comments- do you really think a 150 year old doll is signing onto youtube every morning to read 10k "I'm sorry for looking at you without your permission" comments? Who has time for that? Not even an immortal doll with cancer giving powers has time for that.

They sell this thing on their website. I watched Ozzy Osbourne blow the replica up with fireworks one time. Look how he turned out (ok, maybe bad example, I don't know).

Anyway...omg, the comments. The comments are so tiring and old. Stop please.

The other thing that happened early on that I want to touch on briefly is the echoing of Colby's voice. I'll get into this a little more later, cause it's one of the things that caused me to be very wary of events that happened later, but...while weird that it only echoed on Colby, I do think there's a few different avenues of logical explanation for that, so I'm not going to chalk it up to the paranormal. It could've been an audio malfunction from Colby leaning in and yelling so loudly, or it could've been...well, I'll explain what else it could've been when I get to the rest of this trip. Stay tuned.

A couple of funny/random things from the first 20 minutes that I want to highlight:

Sam just really really really needs Colby to share a bed with him, ok.

Colby- the man who was chugging Diet Pepsi (not even real Pepsi, wtf) on a 9am livestream after only getting home and eating SUBWAY at 3am the night before: "Imagine if all we drank was Pepsi lolz"

Colby manipulating Sam into staying in the basement by pointing out that Sam has to one-up Colby...that's masterclass. That's psychology 101. That just proves that Colby is the baby brother (or girlfriend, as Kris had indicated in her podcast) in this partnership. Sam's staying in that basement lol.

Apparently, The Boys are the ones who put the money down Raggedy Andy's shirt.

Colby's proud smile after explaining how the Perrin girl "flew through the air like a frisbee"...

This whole thing with the challenges- I will reserve judgement until I see how it plays out, but I don't think it's strictly necessary.

Alright, that's enough of that. Let's get into the elephant in the room for this episode: what the fuck is this alphabet game, and is it real?

Now, before I get into the method being used, I need to set the tone here by explaining the vibe I got from the new owner of the house, as well as Satori and Cody.

This is important, because I think it shaded my opinion on this whole thing way more than I would've liked it to, but that's the problem with vibes sometimes...they just take over.

I have never seen or heard of the new owner before in my life. I know who Cody is a little bit, because the Conjuring House has a TIKTOK ACCOUNT NOW (because why wouldn't it) and I know Satori is Jason Hawes' daughter, but that's about it. So, I did not go into this with any real preconceived notions.

But, within 10 seconds of meeting the new owner, I didn't vibe with her at all.

The vibe I got was somebody that is really pushing to turn this house into a money pit tourist attraction. I mean, they have a tiktok account now. They have a campground. It's an air bnb. And she just had that "hey, I need to make my money back on this investment somehow" vibe to her. I have a feeling that, as time goes on with this house, the truth behind some of the legends such as Bathsheeba will start to disappear so that the owner of the house can push the agenda that the movie had started pushing.

Witch babies and demonic possessions sell much better than "hey the town unfairly villainized this woman cause they didn't understand her, and the Warrens were crooks who preyed on a terrified family," after all.

So, I'm already going into this with a healthy distrust of the establishment, ok? And then Satori and Cody take hands and start...running through the alphabet?

And to be honest, my initial reaction was "now what the fuck."

I mean, I have a million questions. How the hell did they even discover this in the first place? And what ghost has time to sit there and play along with this? Like, from the ghost perspective, if the guy down the street has a much easier method for communication than making my ghost ass stand around and play morse code foot stomping games, I'm keeping it moving lol.

But yea, I was immediately skeptical. This is just so easy to fake. And there is, by the way, precedent for faking this kind of stuff. Lots of precedent. And actually, there was a precedent for this very method being debunked back in the 1800's. There was a group of sisters known as the Fox Sisters who populated a very similiar method back in the 1800s. They were eventually exposed as frauds when they admitted that they snapped their joints to replicate the tapping sounds.

Now, again- I was already skeptical of the owner of the house. I had started to become skeptical of Satori and Cody when Colby went to them to ask about the echo of his voice and they gave the most guilty sounding "no" ever on record when he asked if they had any audio recording in the house (because my bet on that is that they were watching him and Sam on cctv and didn't realize the sound would also pipe through, hence the echo that stopped a second later).

So, I'm already skeptical, and then they start employing this method that was debunked back in 1850 and you can imagine where my skepticism went from there.

Now, I want everyone to understand this- I do not believe Sam and Colby were faking any of this. Sam's reaction to hearing his grandma's name is a very genuine response to having someone tell you that they are communicating with a loved one that you thought you would never speak to on this earth again. I've been there, I know what that feeling is. You cannot replicate it.

And they were doing their level best to try and debunk the footsteps and knocking noises being heard throughout this entire thing, and I applaud them for being open and upfront about that to everyone in the room.

I also want to state, for the record, that I do believe in spiritualism in some form, and in the paranormal in some form. I am not a skeptic.

I do, however, know there are a lot of people out there who will use people's emotions against them and fake things like this for attention, clout, money, etc. It happens. So, skepticism in this situation is not unfounded.

Also, something else I'd like to point out- all of the information provided about the people they contacted is readily available and easy to find online. Sam has spoken about his grandmother several times over the years and her nickname, Libby, was in her obituary, which is accessible online. Sam's siblings' names are public knowledge. I, as a somewhat casual fan, have actually known about and have even seen a picture of Frank Brock before this episode aired.

This stuff is out there. It's searchable. It's not hard to find. Even Zach Bell, their producer- give me 10 minutes and I'm sure I could find some information on him, public figure or not. I would never do that, cause I'm not a creep- but someone could.

So...all of that is what is running through my head while this is going on. While I found it interesting, and truly do hope that nobody would be cruel enough to use someone like a beloved grandparent against someone in that manner, it does have to be said that there are just so, so many easy avenues for faking this. I was interested, intrigued, but not 100% on board with it being real.

For Sam's sake, and for Colby's parents' sakes, I hope all of this is true and not some kind of scam to schill tickets to go stay at the Conjuring House. And that's where I'm going to leave that.

Now, a few other things I found either interesting or funny that I would like to point out about Sam and Colby's paranormal ancestry.com journey here, before we move on:

Colby did not know Frank Brock, but then a minute later was like, "Oh yea, I did ancestry.com and I know Frank Brock!" Is he ok? Should we send him to get his cognitive memory ability tested?

Colby's whole entire family coming through and asking him to pass messages along to everyone else...kind of sweet, kind of sad. I wonder who in his lineage is watching out for him, and not Lesa and Layne and Bob and whoever else.

But hey, happy for him that he now has something to bring up at the family Christmas party lol.

Ok, so if anyone is still here reading this- cause damn is this thing long- I just want to really quickly wrap this up by touching on their later attempts to debunk this whole thing. Again, I applaud them for trying, and that really did go a long way to help a lot of people, and make them look more credible in everyone's eyes. I give them all the kudos in the world for that.

I don't love that they outed that random private citizen teacher lady's private info all over the internet, but guess what? When I google her, the first thing that comes up is an article talking about her death in connection to the Conjuring House so...take that how you will.

Anyway, I truly, truly hope, for their sake and their families, that this is real and not a scam being conducted by the people running that house. I will be brokenhearted for them if it is.

Now, my final thoughts on the matter: do I think this was a fantastic video? Yes, actually, I was quite pleasantly surprised. I was getting to the point of not wanting to watch it because of all the over-hyping they were doing, but I'm glad I did watch this, because it was really well put together, very interesting and intriguing, and definitely makes a mark.

Do I think it was life changing? No. To them, it was, but this method has been around in some way, shape or form for a long time, Satori and Cody have apparently done it on Ghost Hunters before, and talking to psychics to communicate with the other side has been a well documented phenomenon since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Nonetheless, it was a fantastic start, and I do hope this momentum keeps up when the screaming streamers come to town.

[youngerfrankenstein]

ok i'm really choosing violence here, apologies in advance. 1 & 6 lol

Hmm. Didn’t give me a fandom so mind if I go with Ace Attorney? (And TGAA)

the character everyone gets wrong

A lot of them, but one that really has been getting on my nerves lately is that some fans seem to see Phoenix as either this saint or a guy who’s secretly a piece of shit when uh, no? He’s both and neither. He is, and I say this with fondness, meant to be an Everyman. He’s generally amicable and he makes snarky remarks in his head because it’s meant to make him relatable. He’s supposed to be pretty generic, and in a lot of ways he’s Shu Takumi’s self-insert (including the class trial thing). That’s all fine. He’s basic. He’s the kind of guy most people playing the game are, no one is always kind or always an asshole. It’s really not that complicated.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

*Sigh* I don’t know that any are OVERLY annoying. But man Asoryuu fans need to be quiet sometimes. Ryunosuke and Kazuma DO have an interesting dynamic, but I feel like it gets overemphasized. The point is that Ryu started out idolizing Kazuma and by the end has far surpassed him. He’s become more honourable, more dedicated, more moral than Kazuma ever was due to the people around him and his own hard work. At the end of the game he IS the person he THOUGHT Kazuma was. It’s a great freaking dynamic! And if you want to add a romantic bend to it that’s fine. But insisting that it MUST be is frustrating. Especially when Ryu’s connection to Kazuma was used to fuel his OWN self-improvement. Trying to tie it all to romantic feelings can downplay that. And also the tendency to downplay that Kazuma bringing Ryu along WAS for shitty and selfish reasons in some measure.

Like ship it if you like it! I can’t and won’t stop you! But also some of you need to stop insisting that things only make sense here if they’re in love.

Speaking of… look I love you Narumitsu and portions of its fanbase but some of y’all need to chill the fuck out. It’s EVERYWHERE. And also I see far too much fanart when I look for Nick and Maya friendship art that’s just people wanting her to wingman :\

[alovelyburn]

i swear you and bthump are the best people to go to when to comes to berserk stuff

you guys just have such a great grasp on the story and really expose the ridiculousness of the western fanbase

The sad thing is, I can't even be proud of that because 90% of it is literally just reading the story (and interviews) without jumping through 15 hoops trying to explain to myself that everything characters (or Miura) said or did means the opposite of what they said or did.

Being in Western Berserk fandom is wild, it's like.....

Griffith: When I think about the dream and Guts, he is definitely more appealing. In fact he just made me forget my dream completely. Fans: He's saying that Guts is only a tool to him and he's only important because he's the best way to the dream.

Griffith: Do you think responding to royalty repeatedly trying to murder me by killing them first makes me a horrible person? Guts: LOL what, who even cares about murder, it's fine, you're fine, what a silly question honestly. Fans: Look at that fucking asshole Griffith what a sociopath. Poor Guts is such a kind-hearted gentleman.

Casca: WTF Griffith you let him do whatever he wants and don't even punish him when he does crazy things Fans: Griffith's so abusive to Guts.

Griffith: loses the most important person to him - eclipse doesn't trigger. falls into a deep depression - eclipse doesn't trigger. massively self-destructs - eclipse doesn't trigger. has a post-sex mental breakdown - eclipse doesn't trigger gets tortured for a year to the point where his body barely functions and his tongue is being used as a torturer's necklace - eclipse doesn't trigger. gets treated like a pile of baggage and a burden by the people he literally prostituted himself to support - eclipse doesn't trigger. overhears that the most important person to him is leaving AGAIN - freaks out, but eclipse doesn't trigger. hallucinates a nightmare of being a doll kept as a pseudo husband by the subordinate who always had a crush on him - eclipse doesn't trigger literally tries to kill himself - eclipse still doesn't trigger confronted by his completely hopeless feelings about a guy who keeps abandoning him - eclipse triggers, offered a sacrifice, just kinda sits there has his mind invaded by demon lords who use every doubt, insecurity, guilt pang and self-hating thought he ever had against him - still doesn't accept the sacrifice. reminded that if he stops he's wasted all the lives that he's been living to justify accidentally ending - bursts into tears, falls to his knees and repeatedly apologizes but still doesnt' accept the sacrifice has the specific words of the one person he loves most used against him by making it sound like that person would approve of him accepting the sacrifice - cracks but still hesitates told that the sacrifices will forgive him since that's what they're there for anyway - accepts the sacrifice Fans: He literally doesnt care, he would have said yes ANY TIME, like if the Godhand waltzed up to him when he was literally sitting on the throne, he would've been like, FUCK YEAH GIMME THE POWER, KILL EVERYONE! because only cares about himself and power.

The Actual Worldbuilding: Sacrifices only work if you love the sacrifice so much that losing them is like losing a piece of yourself. Fans: Obviously you don't need to care about people to sacrifice them because Griffith sacrificed the Hawks, who he didn't care about.

M E A N W H I L E

Guts: Ignores the eclipse as it butchers his friends in order to repeatedly try to save Griffith. Then jumps down and wanders around trying to save literally anyone. Fans (AND THE DARK HORSE SYNOPSES): Guts' primary concern during the Eclipse was saving Casca, he made a beeline for her like, tunnel vision whoa.

S O M E T I M E L A T E R

Guts' subconscious: Why don't you just abandon her? Better yet, rape and murder her so you can be more like Griffith and be closer to him and twirl yourself around him like a vine. Guts: [LITERALLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTS HER WHILE FANTASIZING ABOUT MURDERING HER SO HE CAN BE CLOSER TO GRIFFITH] Fans: Guts loves Casca more than anything in the world, shes all he cares about.

Guts: When I see him I'll ....... Puck: Man, when Guts thinks about this Hawk guy, he gets so mad, but also his feelings are super complicated. Guts: When I saw Griffith there, I totally lost my desire to kill him. Also Guts: What do you mean you don't feel anything, come on feel something [poke poke poke] Hey wait where are you going?! Guts: This sucks just as much as when I left the Hawks, except this time I'm the one getting dumped. :/ Also Guts: Anyway I should drop Casca on Elfhelm and then find Griffith and......................... Berserk Guidebook: Guts' feelings about Griffith include bitter hatred and an unending stream of other complicated feelings. Also Guts: Anyway so, when I see him I'll ....... Fans: Guts just hates Griffith so much and nothing else. It's just hate. He wants Griffith dead so much like its even more extreme than the normal wanting someone dead. SO much deathlust, and NOTHING ELSE.

Guts: /swings at Griffith and misses Casca: /gets kidnapped Guts: I couldn't hit him even a little, and my sword let me down, I have nothing to believe in or strive for anymore. Fans: Look at him he's so broken up about Casca.

I literally feel like I'm in fucking bizarro land when I read your average western berserk fan's commentary it is WILD.

[demonsfate]

man, i love both jinxiao and jinhwoa and i've been in fandoms too long to engage in drama nowadays, but tbh it's amazing how people read/watch things with their ass because how do you say that it was Jin and not Dj (literally the demon inside him) the one who beat Hwoarang??? also some fans are very weird and annoying about the kazjun ship too like you said, idk like sometimes people have the worse takes ever and you just.. have to sigh and move on🚶‍♂️

i love them both! i believe i pointed out before that both are solid ships because both have wonderful dynamics with each other that fits well. i'd be happy if either one became canon, and either one would make sense. i try not to engage in drama, but gosh darn twitter is a hell site that just SHOWS you posts frm ppl you don't follow. so it's easier to get into arguments. i already had an argument with that person before. and i ALMOST got into another one bc i WANTED to tell them to "grow up" and point out that, yeah, DJ is the one that did that to hwoarang. not jin. ALSO LIKE. CANONICALLY. hwoarang DOES not even VIEW jin and dj as the same person!

so this definitely means hwoarang doesn't even blame jin for what DJ did to him in tk5, because he doesn't consider them to be the same. i wish the rest of the fanbase can think like hwoarang does!

yeah - they were also kazjun fans. which the op, as i said, made a post something along the lines of jun telling paul his consumption of hamburgers is unhealthy, then paul replying "you know what else is unhealthy? that relationship you have with kaz." and then a few annoying shippers freaked out about it and called it "pathetic," and "disrespectful to the characters" and all kinds of stuff. like i love the kazjun ship, i love the OVA because it explores what it could be. but holy shiiiit those fans need to stop being annoying about it.

LIKE they tried to say, "you can't deny the strong bond kaz and jun had!" and it's like WHAT STRONG BOND???? I'M SORRY. BUT CANONICALLY - KAZ HAD NEVER EVEN BEEN SEEN WITH JUN ON SCREEN, AND THE ONLY THING HE EVER SAID ABOUT HER, IIRC, WAS IN TK6 WHEN HE SIMPLY CALLED HER "MYSTERIOUS." jun had never spoke about him, either! HELL, in TAG 2 - WHERE WE COULD'VE HAD MORE DEVELOPMENT AMONGST THEM - kaz's ending didn't involve jun (not rly - it involved unknown, but NOT in a romantic way) and jun's ending didn't involve kaz. the only time we saw them on screen together IN A GAME, was in tag 1. devil's ending. again. i love the ship. but to act like it's some GREAT LOVE STORY ABOUT TWO PEOPLE WHO PASSIONATELY LOVED EACH OTHER TO THE VERY END AND ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS WRONG that's just... incorrect. we BARELY know their relationship. for all we know, it was just a one night stand! or they never had love for each other, but "fate" pulled them together to make jin. like. WE DON'T KNOW YET BECAUSE THEY WON'T TELL US. and the OVA can't be used as proof, because then you can use the 2010 movie as proof that jun didn't love kaz, but instead loved fucking steve.

you're right! i need to stop using twitter. i keep telling myself i'll stop! but yet - i always go to it when i'm bored and then sometimes i see ppl. it just annoys me that they have to be HATEFUL toward other people. ship what you want (as long as it's not fucking weird as i said - not talking proshipper stuff) but don't harass ppl for their ships.

He just sat and worked for hours, never looking away from his screen. He needed to finish this thing and then maybe it would be good enough. He didn't think that it would be even after writing and rewriting for days.

Let's see if being boyfriends on-screen will affect them in real life.

[justanotherfanartist]

in light of Roosterteeth’s closure I’d just like to remind everyone that this little containment-breaker was tagged with only one thing: rvb.

I only got into the series summer of 2022 (when the aforementioned post was made) and I’ve loved it ever since. Yeah, fuck Roosterteeth, fuck Burns, fuck a couple seasons of rvb tbh (including the new one), most of the fandom presence on Tumblr is pretty united in giving a big old fuck you to the studio bird and I’m no exception.

But as the company quietly smolders out, I’ve still begrudgingly got to thank them for the show, in a bittersweet kind of way.

rvb has become my personality here on Tumblr. Not just that, it’s helped define one of my past romantic relationships and is something I’ve gotten my parents into watching with me too. It’s who I am in my little corner of the internet and what I’m a freak about in person with the people I love the most. It’s been a comfort, a media criticism, a great love, and a punching bag all in one. In short, it’s been a lot of things, all of ‘em being very important to me. I honestly wouldn’t be the same without it, which is a very strange thing to say about a Halo machinima series, isn’t it?

So thanks to golden age of indie Roostertooth for red vs blue. Fuck Roosterteeth for their shit work culture and corporate franchising (however avoidable or unavoidable), fuck Roosterteeth for the way they ended up handling the show and their fanbase, and a warm, honest-as-hell good luck to the hundreds of employees who now suddenly have to try and find work in one of the most turbulent employment fields we’ve got right now.

But, y’know. Even with all that said —

Roosterteeth will never really be gone. They just won’t be here right now; not anymore.

(plus, the fanbase has the whole show archived anyways. it’s pretty much at our discretion where it ends up now. so spread it to your hearts content!)

he’s my baby boy he’s 34 he’s not real I would kill for him

[thebuttsmcgee]

anyways hi gang besides the good celebration of TOH's anniversary yesterday since it just turned 12, this week has been a whole buncha nonsense

[theladycarpathia]

The Creel House. Built by famed architect, Buford Newton, in the late 1800s, this once glamorous building now goes to ruin on the outskirts of Hawkins. Abandoned for the last twenty years, the house has been unable to keep a buyer since 1987. After Buford died in a freak accident, the house passed to his nephew. Andrew Newton eventually died in the house of a heart attack. Was it medical causes? Or was it fright that caused Mr Newton to die in the same room as his uncle? And when the house was put up for sale…

“What the hell are you doing?” Billy asks, dropping another box into the van. Steve fumbles with his phone and it slips out of his hands and down between the seats.

“Fuck,” Steve hisses and jams his hand between the space for it. Billy sighs loudly and slams the rear doors shut.

“Robin, let’s go!” he shouts back to the house, giving no mind to the other Loch Nora inhabitants. “Steve’s already being weird!”

“Fuck you, I’m recording a voice-over,” Steve says, managing to grab the edge of the phone between two fingers and carefully pulling it up. “This is the biggest episode yet, I want to add some drama.”

“Drama,” Billy snorts, climbing into the driver’s seat. “Sure. Us breaking into an old house and wandering around for an hour isn’t exactly going to bring us in the big viewer numbers, Steve-o. And anyways Andrew Newton’s death wasn’t caused by some ghost. It was almost definitely caused by his love of red meat and prostitutes.”

“You are a buzzkill,” Steve complains, shoving his phone back into his backpack. They’re losing light and they need some good shots of the house. There’s a slam of a door and Robin races out of the house, clutching her camera and dressed for exploration in dungarees and boots, a green beanie pulled low over her ears.

“That’s why they love us,” Billy says, with a grin, as Robin pulls herself in next to Steve.

“I’m here,” she pants, slamming the door behind her. “Let’s go.”

“Belt,” Billy chides and waits for her to buckle up before he’ll even start the van.

Annoyingly, he’s right. ‘Mystery Spot’ was started a few years ago, in high school, when they were bored and Billy thought it would be fun to break into the graveyard at night to see if the ‘wandering maiden’ ghost rumors were true. They weren’t but them being busted by an annoyed caretaker got them enough hits that they decided it might be worth trying for an actual channel.

It does pretty well, especially with the LGBT crowd. They have Robin, who delights in wearing rainbow themed outfits on camera, and Billy who is eye candy to both men and women, even if he’s only interested in the former. The big draw comes from the bickering between Steve - the consummate believer - and Billy - the hardcore sceptic. Anything that Steve says that even remotely suggests something supernatural is instantly shot down by Billy. It’s weird and shouldn’t work but the fans love it.

Robin spends the drive over reading comments from the last video. Creel House has long been suggested by their fans, the old ruined mansion an established feature on the outskirts of Hawkins. They’ve been saving it for a special episode and a Halloween episode seems fitting.

“‘Robin, I like your socks, where did you get them?’” Robin quotes and Steve rolls his eyes.

“Why are so many of our comments asking about your clothes?” he says, watching the streets with their brilliant fall colors race by. Hawkins sometimes feels a little chafing but the small town charm isn’t all bad. There’s already carved pumpkins on peoples’ stoops, the odd skeleton propped up in a yard.

“My clothes are great,” Robin says easily, and as she should when she has a whole dedicated fanbase for her quirky thrift-store outfits. “I can read out the other kind of comments, if you like?” She raises her eyebrows but it’s enough. Steve has to turn his head so that Billy can’t see his blush.

So…a lot of their fans like commenting on the supposed sexual tension between Billy and Steve. Which, yeah, he certainly gets with their back and forth, and they’ve been friends forever. Which is kind of the problem.

So what if Steve’s been nursing a crush on Billy for the last four years? The guy is basically his best friend, aside from Robin, and if anything got fucked up, that would be the end of the show. Their group. Billy has never shown any interest in Steve anyway, dating the guy from the pizza place, a football player, and his next door neighbor in quick succession. 

It’s fine. Steve is completely in love with him but it’s fine.

“We’re nearly there, shitheads,” Billy comments, flicking the indicator to turn down Peach street. “Get ready for the most non-event of our lives.”

“Fuck you, this is going to be great,” Robin says, stashing her phone away in her bag. “Halloween special, super creepy fucked up murder house, I’m wearing my lucky bra and a new beret. The only way we could get even more views is if something unexpected and highly anticipated happens.”

Billy pulls up at the kerb by Creel house and blinks in confusion. “Do you mean ghosts?”

“Yes. Ghosts,” Robin says flatly. “Or some other highly nervous, insecure spook completely lacking balls.”

Steve discreetly stomps on her foot as they climb out of the van.

The unloading is quick, because they’ve learned to travel light when breaking into abandoned and possibly condemned buildings. Robin gets her camera rolling pretty quick to catch Steve’s shiver.

“Man, this place is creepy,” he mutters, staring around at the large broken mirror over the fireplace. 

“It’s a shithole,” Billy says, sweeping his own camera over the empty living room. There’s still a mottled throw flung over the back of the couch, paintings on the walls. Something bumps into Steve’s foot as he steps forward and he looks down to see a small ball, the kind of brightly coloured toy a child might play with.

“Did they just…leave?” Steve asks, taking it all in. Aside from the dust and thick cobwebs, this could be any normal house. The kitchen still has bowls and cups on the draining board, just waiting to be put away. A small swing set rusts outside and the grandfather clock in the hallway has a cracked face, a small spider climbing up the mahogany.

“Basically,” Billy says, scrunching up his nose at the dead plants sitting on the kitchen windowsill. They’re little more than empty plant pots of dirt at this point. “Creel House was still occupied until nearly a decade ago. The Packard family packed up and left everything behind, took only themselves and whatever necessities they could shove in the car. Mom, pop, kids, dog. They said they couldn’t take the evil in the house anymore.”

“And you thought this was going to be boring,” Steve says, bending over to peer at one of the framed photos hanging next to the kitchen table. Billy snorts.

“It’s an empty house. They got freaked out by some creaking boards and a spider infestation and they bolted like pussies. There’s a logical explanation for everything, Steven.”

‘Except for why you don’t want me,’ Steve thinks. But he’s not so sure that this house can be so easily explained away. Something is causing his hair to stand on end, some uneasy feeling in his gut like they’re being watched.

Robin sticks her head next to his, face softening as she catches sight of the little kids on Christmas day, all clad in bright Santa sweaters, among piles of presents. The kind of picture you’d get in any family home. 

“Doesn’t feel right, does it?” she whispers, focusing her camera on the frame. Steve shakes his head. He knows enough about this house to know that everyone who tried to live here experienced horrible luck. The original architect’s family had sold the house off after yet another distant relative died here but it hadn’t improved once the ownership passed out of the Newtons. When a young couple moved in during the first world war, the man went mad and beat his wife to death in the master bedroom. In the forties, the teenage daughter drowned in the tub. In the fifties, the owner’s prized Pekingese dogs both choked to death in the garden. An Investment banker crashed his car off a bridge in 1972. 

The Creel family moved in during the eighties, the famous case that gave the house its name. One horrible and stormy night in 1986, both of the Creel children vanished from their beds, leaving behind one battered teddy and a message written in blood on the walls. Neither body was ever found.

After that the house sat empty until the Creels both died. Victor and Virginia died barely a decade after their children went missing, Virginia taking a large bottle of pills and Victor’s heart gave out once all of his family were gone. A cousin fixed up the house and sold it off several years later. It bounced through several more owners, none of whom were able to keep the house longer than a few years. Finally, the Packards took it on in 2009, the last people to ever live in the house. But they didn’t last long. They made it five months before they fled and the house has sat empty ever since.

“It has to be something,” Robin continues. “How does a house go through this much bad luck? This much blood?”

“Sheer fucking dumb luck,” Billy insists. “Idiots. That’s all. This house isn’t haunted.”

Something creaks overhead, like someone leaning on a floorboard. They all look up at the ceiling, waiting for another sound.

“It’s an old house,” Billy says firmly. “Shit creaks.”

“Steve, let go of my arm,” Robin complains and Steve releases her wrist. The unexpected noise had startled him more than he’d care to admit. 

“Do we have weapons?” Steve asks, eyes still tracking the ceiling overhead and Billy sighs.

“No, we don't have weapons. Do you want a photon pack or something?” he asks and Robin cackles.

“Billy’s a nerd who makes references,” she says gleefully, flipping the camera around so she can grin at the audience. “You heard it here first, folks.”

“We don’t know what’s in here,” Steve says defensively. The feeling of being watched hasn’t gone away and while he’s never run away from a hot spot before, he’d very much like to now. He doesn’t like this house. It’s not like the others. 

“Aww, Steve, don’t worry. I’ll protect you,” Billy says, with a flirty wink. Steve’s stomach dips, first with arousal and then disappointment. He doesn’t mean it like that. He never means it like that.

Robin pats his arm as she passes by, drifting out into the hallway. She wanders down the hallway and they hear her sudden exclamation.

“Robin?” Steve follows her, wondering what fresh she’s found but she meets him in a doorway, face alight with joy.

“Steve, come look at this!” She drags his arm and pulls him into the room, shouting for Billy all the way. They’re in the family dining room, a grand room with paneled walls and a formerly plush red carpet, a full set of chairs still arranged around the ornate dining table. Steve gawps at the gilded sconces as they pass by. 

“Wow,” Steve says finally, when they come to a stop at the end of the room. Robin beams, turning to look at her find. “Holy fuck, is that them?”

“The Creels,” Robin says, eyes flicking over the four faces in the portrait. “The Packards must have bought it at an auction or maybe it came with the house. We have to film our intro here.”

Steve nods mutely. Victor Creel stands in the center of the picture, arms around his family. Virginia sits on a chair, legs folded neatly and a coy smile on her lips. She looks like the picture perfect housewife, golden hair gently curled under her chin. Alice is wearing pristine white skirts and gleaming buckled shoes, a wide toothy grin on her small face. Only Henry is dour, narrow chin and dark eyes staring resolutely out of the frame. 

“Creepy fucker, right?” Robin says, following his eye-line. “Are you gonna be okay with…this?” 

He knows that she’s not talking about the house.

“It’s fine,” he says automatically and Robin snorts.

“I stopped believing that one two years ago,” she sighs, tucking her arm through his. “I just…thought you’d get over it. Move on. You certainly dated enough.”

“Yeah,” Steve says miserably. “Me too.” 

Onto Chapter 2

[lunarmoonanons]

Hi, can you do yandere izuku x bully reader headcanons, please. Also can you make it where izuku and reader are in the same class at u.a together

I’ll do my best. But I’m not really great at writing bully protagonists. 

A lot of people in Class 1A like Izuku. Who wouldn’t? He’s sweet and kind. Loves to motivate and uplift his friends. An all around good kid by all accounts. 

Everyone loves Izuku. 

Everyone but YN. 

YN is not a social person. Using her quirk to try to be a hero. But an underground hero. Out of sight and paparazzi. A constant thought for her being: If you have to show off how great and “good” of a person you are then you just want attention. 

A social sweet boy and an angry asocial girl. Polar opposites. 

At least that’s how YN saw it. 

She did not like Midoriya. Thinking that he was just another nosy attention seeker who used his emotions to his benefit to manipulate those to like him. Whereas she pushed people away, he pulled people to him. 

YN didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to berate, criticize, or ignore Midoriya. Mostly nowadays she would shove him away and glare at him. His large green eyes creeped the fuck out of her. 

Sometimes she thought he was toxic without even knowing it. 

Being the type to say “Am I not enough for you?” in some whiny voice. 

YN hated attention. Never missing the chance to hate those that called for it. 

“Wow do you reaaalllly need people to see how much of a hero you are Midoriya? Are you that desperate for affection? Some fucking hero you are.” 

Polar opposites. 

Izuku didn’t see it that way.

He saw it as healthy competition between a boyfriend and girlfriend. Just a couple even if YN wasn’t ready to accept it yet. Whenever people would tell him to say something to her or fight back, he’d close his eyes and smile. Simply saying that it was just some teasing from a girlfriend to a boyfriend. That it was alright and they shouldn’t bother, cause he doesn’t. 

Most let it go after that. One unfortunate Gen Ed student said that it was a toxic relationship and that Midoriya should dump her. A week later the student had to leave UA because of multiple allegations and rumors of that student running around with villains or misusing their quirk. 

Midoriya adored YN. Her fight, control of her quirk, determination to become a hero balanced with her ideals of not needing or wanting a fanbase to boost her hero status. She just wanted to save people and do it without attention. 

But he knew all that. He wrote it down. 

Most of his friends or other classmates got a page about their quirk and such. But she got three notebooks and counting, all about her. Her ticks, favorite colours and foods, the way she’d play with the ends of her hair, how the pajamas she wore clung around her  as she slept, the hug of her tanktop across her chest when she wore it without a bra. 

One notebook had copious pictures of her. Most being unsavory for the average viewer, not that he’d ever let anyone else see her.

Honestly he was glad that she wanted to be an underground hero. Feeling that if he had to share her attention and affection with anyone else, even her fans, he would lose his mind. 

Midoriya was excellent at playing the waiting game. Having collected various forgotten items of hers to get close in the beginning, one being a discarded sports bra that was unwashed, to eventually wearing her down enough for the nasty comments to become her just staring at him. Anyone else would think that she was glaring at him, but he knew better. He could play the long game.

YN scowled at the green haired boy as she shoved past him to get to lunch. Turning her head back to glare at him over her shoulder. Fucking freak.

Izuku grinned to himself as he looked at his hand, the same hand that he subtly ran over her hips when she shoved him. Soon pretty baby.

THE GREAT DEBATE: Are The Beatles a Boy Band?

A local bowling alley where I live hosts trivia night every Tuesday and tonight was Boy Band Bingo (not trivia…but whatever) as my friends and I were looking over the bingo sheet, we notice a couple of Beatles songs.

Now here is where the GREAT DEBATE comes in and I can totally see both sides. I’ll break it down for you!

Friend 1: The Beatles are a boy band simply because of Beatlemania. They started the frenzie of girls of all ages just freaking the fuck out, crying and fainting over them. They established what a fanbase really is.

Friend 2: The Beatles aren’t a boy band. They played their own instruments, they wrote their own songs…they were rock and roll. They are the reason so many musicians today are working…they’re an inspiration. They’re the fucking Beatles. They’re not a boy band

I’m torn at this point. Ive never viewed The Beatles as a “boy band”. I see The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC*, One Direction, etc as boy bands. But the Beatlemania is what makes me view them as a boy band. Now I’m like “do the guys view themselves as a boy band?” I wouldn’t think so but what about the world?

I’d love to know your opinions. Are The Beatles a Boy Band? Please, share your thoughts
