#then knock yourself out

[hxhhasmysoul]

I remember you mentioned how most of your online friends in the jjk fandom are meta analysis people.

I’m assuming it due to you being excellent at media analysis, however… I was wondering if you have any online friends that you made who’s media literacy isn’t the highest out any sheer chances?

I’m asking this since I’ve personally have not, in fact I tend to go out of my way and not interact with anyone who’s not within the meta analysis group of the jjk fandom. Which would also include artists. I would still like their fanart and occasionally reblog it, but I’ll not personally interact with them beyond that. For fanfic writers, I personally don’t read any, so I also don’t interact with them either.

Lately though, my other friends notice how I’m been intentionally limiting my circle and being too judgmental, for they mention that while not everyone can create amazing meta posts, they are still expressing enjoyment about the same series.

I’m just personally curious to hear your thoughts and opinions on this, since you’ve also mentioned how you tend to block people you deemed unworthy of your time, so I feel like you might understand a bit where I’m coming from.

i'm not excellent at media analysis, @subdee or @cursedvibes are. and they tolerate me so.

i'm also judgemental and mean and i can rant to my friends and be very unpleasant, i do it less in public but i can also lash out in reblogs.

about the media literacy... with some people you can discuss stuff and kinda point out that they are ignoring some stuff or they could consider something. but online it's hard. and i usually just become snide about it and it never goes anywhere. it's like several stars have to align for it to happen: 1) the person needs to be open to have their opinion questioned, 2) you need to be open to question in a way that will not put them off before the message gets across, 3) you actually need a good argument, 4) you need not to be like me and get confrontational and angry 90% of the time, 5) the conv o needs to move into the dms - in public it's almost guaranteed to fail, 6) other - who knows what really.

most of the time however it ends up in a confrontation. and then blocking.

when i'm in a calmer mood i block preemptively not to rile myself up. but sometimes i'm in a bad mood and then i will start shit.

and there's also the question of flavour of the media illiteracy. like i will not discuss stuff with bigots, these are insta blocks. i will not discuss stuff with the fandom purity police, one because they are often bigots and two because they don't understand they use the language and concepts of the far right and it's like a very fundamental problem.

in the jjk fandom specifically i will not discuss stuff with people who espouse views that "gege hates ...", or call gege a misogynist or accuse them of an incest fancier, or use violent language towards gege, those people are too far gone, those are insta blocks.

i will also not try to talk to people whose main interest in hxh or jjk is completely different than mine. i don't give a single shit about stsg, at this point it actively irks me and i will ignore people who engage in it. ii will not engage with people who call yuuji boring or say he's not the main character, it'd be too much effort to talk to them and probably with no reward.

i have also a lot of smaller pet peevs that i will either block people over or not engage at all. so i do understand you anon and i think life's too short to waste on people you'd have nothing to talk to.

though my situation is quite different, i read a lot of fanfic and write it too so i interact with a lot of writers. not everyone i interact with is into meta.

it honestly depends on what you like and how you want to interact and what you want to talk about. if you only care about meta then interact with people who like these kinds of discussions, it's ok not interact with people if you don't vibe on the same wave length. i've said it before, i'm very much into organically finding people you vibe with. sometimes i interact with people and it feels we have stuff in common but the convo just doesn't really work, it's kinda awkward or whatever. and well it's not meant to be, there will be others.

“Average superhero gets knocked out three times a year” factoid actually just statistical error. Average superhero gets knocked out 0 times a year. Concussion Hal, who knocks himself out five times a day, is an outlier and should not be counted.

Do the dogs in this universe enjoy things like being pet? Is scratching behind someone's ear or rubbing their belly a part of close friendships and relationships for them like back rubs and playing with hair are for humans irl?

I suspect many humans enjoy being petted too.

The displays of affection in the dogverse, platonic or romantic, aren't that different from our own. Ear scratches are a popular and common gesture, I guess if you're close enough to play with someone's hair you could also scratch behind their ears if they were a dog, you know? Then again ears are sensitive and used in communication, so maybe there's a slightly higher degree of trust required.

*vibrating with the force of my own pedantry* every now and then i see a post that claims tim tried to clone bart at the same time he tried to clone kon, but technically that is only confirmed true in the titans of tomorrow timeline and not in the main timeline, where we see tim in his cloning basement by tt03 #34 (cassie finds him there in #37). by contrast, bart's funeral only happens around issue #50, which is the start of the "titans of tomorrow today" arc in which gun batman tim says he successfully cloned both kon and bart back to life in his timeline. there is no evidence that main timeline tim tried to clone bart back to life in part because he'd already gotten caught trying to clone kon a hundred times before bart was even dead.

Jason, after terrorizing Tim in his own Tower: Part of me feels real bad..

Jason remembering exactly who Tim is as a person: but ohh..not that bad.

don't mind me, just continuing my mind-fic where the roundtable (minus merlin) gets sent to an alternate dimension where Merlin is a lonely king (or prince, it depends on how much sleep i've had) and has never met any of the knights

[serenedash]

Since there's Foretellers at it- Gula? Or, y'know, Skuld, best girl-

I bet you weren't expecting a screenshot redraw and that's okay because I wasn't either

R-rated Transformers show where they let Knock Out go bonkers and say all the wild things he's been holding back since his creation

Sometimes I make content that no one but myself will understand and yall just gotta live with it

[mirakurutaimu]

Uhhh so this is kind of a weird ask but is it okay to use an AI text generator to write an erotic fanfic about Mimi accidentally knocking the reader off a balcony while really drunk and "making up for it" the next day when she's sober? It's for personal use.

anon you are down bad down bad i gotta respect the tenacity

[wrathofrats]
