people who participate in hate-fandoms need to get an actual hobby I'm so serious 😭 not to be a hater but for the love of God log off. genuinely humiliating to be spending that much time caring about something that makes you so miserable that is ultimately so meaningless
#root talks#just saw an entire blog dedicated to ''''critique'''' of hazbin hotel and honest to God. from the bottom of my heart.#that is so embarrassing#like why. why why why dedicate that much of your time to something you hate#like this can't be FUN for you.#why spend literal years of your life complaining about something I genuinely can't understand that#why stalk and obsess over news and updates of a show you admit you hate. that only came out a couple weeks ago.#I'm sorry it's just like the dream shit 😭#WHY CARE!! that much about something or someone you hate!#that shit can not be healthy I just don't understand 🙄#like what do you do when you realize you have spent entire years of your life#logging on and obsessing over something that only makes you feel. Bad.#I just don't understand hatedom at all like being a hater is fun briefly but it gets draining#there's a lot of media I dislike#like sander sides I can't stand it anymore used to be a huge fan#haven't thought of it besides in passing in years#because WHYYY would I think about something that makes me miserable when I could think about something I like instead#people need to learn to let go man 😭

having some insomniac thoughts about how the public perception of the george vs max fight is affected by their PR personas, how much people value authenticity (or the appearance of being authentic) now in celeb culture, and how max uses that to his advantage….
#this is a deeply unpopular opinion maybe but i think max is a lot better at PR and manipulating the media than most ppl realize#like I don’t think that he is Faking his dislike of PR or his bluntness but I think that him and his team also know that ppl will#take what he says at face value and they use that to their advantage. like I have heard so many times that they believe Max’s word#about george bc max is ‘such an honest and blunt person he wouldn’t lie’. and that is the work of genius PR right there lol#and to contrast that w george…. who’s had the opposite image of being overly PR and therefore fake….#is it any wonder that ppl r siding w max over george?#also this is not me dunking on george and being like haha he’s fake what a loser bc that’s not my issue w him lol#idk i just think the contrast between the two in terms of their media image is rly interesting and directly feeds into their current feud

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest
like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!
#me.txt#jjba#i'm going to ramble in tags actually. excuse me#ok. rereading sdc and so confused at the general perception of jotaro and his friends/family. he's not NEARLY as flat or as dickish#i understand that the anime (particularly the dub) tends to slander him but even then he still clearly cares for them! i'm confused#i also understand that a lot of people dig against jotaro and kakyoin as a dynamic because 'they're popular' and that generally disliking#popular things across media is a thing that i've seen consistently everywhere but the discredit to them simply as a DUO and not even as a#pairing is so..... odd..... like they're considered to be a duo that clicks for a reason. i enjoyed them even before i got into the fandom#every time i see someone say jotaro is overrated/dull i take a shot and assume they're an anime-only or only read the manga like once btw#joseph and jotaro also have a neat dynamic and they obviously both love and care for each other. like they're not going to go around loudly#or anything but literally the entirety of the lovers and the prelude to the dio fight IS jotaro being worked up over joseph getting hurt#equally i don't know if it translates to the anime as much but joseph is VERY complimentary when it comes to jotaro. like he sings his#praises so often and reminds everyone that he's his grandson so frequently (d'arby the gamer is a good example of this). either way it's so#peculiar....... there's not enough avdol and jotaro content btw (also in canon) because jotaro obviously looks up to him and avdol jokes#around with him on the occasion they interact after their intro which doesn't start very well. it's very cute#i do think an important thing to note about jotaro's character is how he acts AFTER his intro because he's so drastically different. early#jotaro and later jotaro aren't the same character and i do not mean this in a character development way. excluding the jail incident he's#completely different and probably shouldn't really be taken into account (especially considering the amount of slapstick in araki's intros)#and i think that's really???? what people center on for his character? Which sucks balls bad!#anyways. i could ramble more about this if asked i have so much to say but sigh. jotaro cares so much for his friends and family he's not a#flat fully cold asshole character regardless of whether you watch the anime or ova or read the manga. you just have poor media literacy#i wouldn't recommend watching solely the anime for his character though. the dub also changes a lot so it's... questionable#i love the anime and it's still important for him though. also adds neat stuff. i need to stop myself. i have many thoughts on the matter#jotaro kujo#joseph joestar#noriaki kakyoin#adding in case anyone sees: i am not saying that he is perfect about this. in fact he is very ass about it with jolyne and holly and that's#very important. he also is in fact an asshole sometimes. NOT as much as you guys are making him though!#please don't get me started on how much of a dick etc people make kakyoin to veer away from the 'woobified' characterizations of him#in fact i think that's bad if not worse because it CLAIMS to be in character. hes a prim asshole at times but not that angry or dishevelled

life is hard for us oz fans who are only meh about wicked. have half a meme.
#it's not even that i dislike boq as a character - he's fine. i think galinda is the most intriguing of the musical esp in her relationship#with power and how that relates to her relationships with other people. but boq is fine#i am just SO fucking tired of conflating boq wicked with nick chopper baum books#that's not my tin woodman. and i don't want him to be. nick (unlike many oz characters) has a very specific and set backstory#he has a whole damn book about it ffs#and boq is such a different character in terms of role symbolism and personality that i just cannot see him as even an au version of nick#fiyero too to be completely honest. though his mischaracterization doesn't bother me quite as much bc i read the book and he is rather#intriguing as a separate character - i don't love him in the musical tho. anyways specifically calling boq the tin woodman and saying#all the baum book stuff happened to him is so irritating to me because they are not at all the same. and nick is one of my favorite charas#in any media ever. idk. no hate if you like boq ofc and i don't want to stop you from having fun with the characters#i just am getting tired of the greater oz fandom latching on to wicked as fleshing out the baum or mgm characters. it's an entirely#different world. (and yes we can discuss the fact that wicked is intended to be canon compliant with the 39 film - but once again it's#a stretch to say it fits the charas. and that isn't the issue i have here.)#anyways. sorry. i'm just tired of wicked = boq = nick stuff#esp im annoyed at the fiyero and boq blorbo-ifying i see when the women of this musical are far more interesting and proactive#boq and fiyero are just furniture/pawns in the great drama that is elphaba's life and the way she pulls glinda into it with her#but WHATEVER i DIGRESS and shit. ignore this. whatever#it's the way people attempt to reconcile a lot of non-compliant media into whichever one they like the best. which is all fun and games#i am just being a hater. ok? this is me being a hater.#analysis#wizard of oz#wicked#wicked musical#toast talks oz#toasty talks

Is there anything more weak than the attempt to shut down all media analysis and critique by appealing to a "everything is valid and different! Stop making it a pissing match," point of view? Either the stories are "too different" to compare and contrast, or they're "ultimately all fma so why should we fight". Maybe some people can't get it through their heads, but disagreement, venting amongst those who feel similarly, and critique are not inherently a fight.
And I'm sorry, but "breaking the cycle of violence" is a shit trope to tack onto a plot that uses a genocide and ethnic cleansing as its foundation, with heaping layers of "those poor little war criminals, stop being mean to them" to add insult to bad storytelling.
#now that being said when people say some out of pocket shit then they better be able to handle talkback#yes this is a vague post#yes i'm bored to tears seeing endless appeals to ''leave mangahood alone'' from broho people especially#your fave media isn't untouchable and some of us simply won't treat it that way rip#i don't care if someone likes 03 too or is chill with 03 enjoyers because! critique! is! not! an! attack!#mine#wait i'm not done#y'all have a very rosey view of the supposed tranquility of the broader online fandom#because 03 people largely have to stick to discord or other smaller/silo'd avenues to talk about the show#without having unending shit dished at them for simply liking 03 (even if they say nothing about or against mangahood)#and listen: analyze/dislike/critique 03 all you want. that's not the problem#the problem is how a lot of mangahood fans treat anyone who even dares talk about 03 or thinks dislikes their fave show/manga#yes this is all ridiculous but you lot are identifying the wrong things as the problem!#vent

might be a hot take but i think even if blitz was about to say sorry at the end of full moon it was already too late? cause stolas was very clearly not in the right emotional headspace for it to really sink in or mean anything at that point.
it was too late way before blitz realised stolas was hurt (and saying sorry in that moment wasn't gonna make stolas' emotions magically reset to neutral)
emotions were running wayyy too high that immediately talking right after the initial conflict/argument was not gonna fix it
(and to clarify not hating either character! very much on the camp of they both fucked up and they need to talk but neither are in the right headspace for that talk just yet)
#its funny i normally dislike too much realism in media i think it makes the work sorta dull if handled poorly#but in this case i want the realism of actually taking time to calm down after a lot of emotion before talking it out#maybe this is why i dont like fixit fics asdfghjk;#i am very tired so this is very rambly#kinda reluctant to tag this its def stepping on toes haha#stolitz#stolas#blitzo#helluva boss#im actually really loving the way their relationship is playing out#i love the messy complexities of them its so good its so fun to watch

What a lovely day to remember both of them are queer and nothing anyone can say will ever change that. Mitsukou deniers don’t write the story, AidaIro do, and they’re the ones who created such a complex love story. I look forward to seeing where it goes
#media illiteracy can’t hurt me bcuz i took it upon myself to seek out higher education#why are midsunene shippers the whiniest fucking ppl in this fandom like ohmygod mind ur business#i’m aware that i complain a lot but i keep that on my own account#i warn ppl to block me if they don’t want to see hate of ships they like#anyways shout out to tsu / mitsu shippers for being crazy respectful every time i explain why i dislike the ship#midusnene shippers could never#all i hear when they open their mouths is words words words#toilet bound hanako kun#tbhk#jibaku shounen hanako kun#jshk#mitsukou#sousuke mitsuba#kou minamoto#aidairo

"gender bent au" what if I hit you with a metal chair.
"gender bent mag" what if I take your internet away and make you think. for once
I see people headcanoning Tim as trans femme. I'm in the crowd cheering for them screeming at the top of my lungs. someone yells GENDER BEND AU? i approach from behind, crouched down.
EDIT I'm not sorry for going insane in the tags. enjoy the rant because I think it's important. 🏳️⚧️
#this counts for ANY fandom#but with podcasts i will get extremely violent#if you don't agree I don't mind keep writing and reading your stuff and have fun#but realize that in a podcast as human as tma there's literally no gender that matters starting from the archivist.#pronouns don't equal gender but literally everything you hear starting from the characters voices and what is being said about each of them#DON'T EQUAL GENDER#you can hc them ans switch their so called genders#but understand that my deep dislike from genderbend aus come from gender as not a concept but a feeling and experiences#gender is so much more than labels.#and now to get into the specific media i saw this from. tma? please. the archivist is the first to be nonbinary simply because himself +#doesn't care and jonny has a much broader view on gender that i bet he never cared about making the characters fit. they exist in the +#archives and have voices and that means nothing. alice might be trans. a LOT of characters can be trans. are you going to gender bend them?#tma#the magnus archives#jonathan sims#tma podcast#jon sims#jonny sims

I have been reading too much of what people have been saying about Lewis's move to Ferrari recently. And I can't take this honeymoon phase seeiously at all. I genuinely like both Lewis and Charles but I am gonna root for Lewis first and foremost. He needs to take back his 8th championship more than Charles needing to get his maiden F1 championship. I feel like there's going to be a lot of the Lecfosi who are praising LH now will turn against him next year, regardless of if he outperforms Charles or not.
#a lot of the criticism lecfosi have about carlos not being ferrari enough#which i still don't know wtf that means#could apply to lewis#“oh he doesn't eat sleep breathe ferrari”#carlos has repeatedly spoken about hoe dedicated to the ferrari project he is but some of y'all use his family memebers liking social media#comments to go against that#also carlos speaks italian and is frequently shown hanging out with ferrari staff members all the time#which is whatever you don't have to like the family but to use that against carlos is wack considering he doesn't really run his own socials#like charles does#therefore i don't even think carlos knows about what his family is doing online. i can be wrong about this i have no proof#lewis doesn't speak italian and got in the way of ferrari winning championships multiple times#will he be considered to “eat sleep breathe ferrari” to some of y'all? nope!#the lecfosi who hate anything Carlos does should be happier that he's a step below Charles when it comes to qualifying and race pace#because Lewis will be more competitive and more of a threat to Charles's championship prospecfs#tldr: i don't believe in this honeymoon 1644 that is currently happening in 2024#also the ferrari-coded driver discourse is really stupid please argue about something more relevant / important#the lecfosi who dislike Carlos and want him out of Ferrari so Charles can prosper only for him to be replaced by the most successful driver#is not good news for y'all 🫵#yes tensions will rise and there is a reason why it's been historically hard for 2 first drivers to co-exist in the same team#f1#formula 1#lewis hamilton#charles leclerc#carlos sainz

being so completely honest when i say this, but if you have a job, you should be showing up. it’s fine to call out every once in a while, but if you’re going two and half months hardly doing the full 8 show week because your role is “just so taxing” then you either find a way to make it sustainable or you take accountability and say that you need an alternate because you can’t do the show 8 times a week. everyone in the show has called out but no one has called out as much as brody has and in a professional theatre environment, you have to be a professional, take accountability for your actions, and respect the production, which includes showing up for your job. when jordan fisher was in dear evan hansen and sweeney todd, he called out all the time and guess what? when he got to hadestown he got his act together because he didn’t want poor attendance to be a part of his reputation. it doesn’t matter how talented brody is, if he’s gonna be in a broadway show, he needs to show up and take accountability for his actions.
okay? i don’t think it’s his call to make trevor an alternate. and agan, what’s with the sudden influx of brody hate in my inbox? yall know im a fan of him. of the musical. why do you send me shit like this? and what do you mean “he held accountable for his actions”? what actions are so dire that he has to “be held accountable” for? listening to his body? knowing that if his body says he can’t do a show then he can’t do a show? and he’s been in the show for a good fifteen productions in a row and he took one break and did another fifteen days or so. i’d say a break is well deserved. and plenty of actors take breaks. just because he happens to call out more doesn’t mean anything. and may i remind you that he’s being thrown around, he’s doing this all on the equivalent of an obstacle course, he does a while fight in the rain scene, the fire stunt, the dancing, the taxing of his voice is a lot. So yeah. I’d expect him to be out more and again, HIS ABSENCES ARE NO ONES BUSINESS! I don’t know why people only hold Brody to gunpoint over being absent like yeah, i get he calls out more, but he doesn’t make the call about an alternate. That’s out of his control. To even insinuate that is beyond idiotic.
And him and Jordan are completely different people. To compare them is unfair. and we don’t know if the reason Jordan is taking less absences is because he e”doesn’t want that in his record”-like honestly? Ponyboy is a much more taxing role than Orpheus because Orpheus at least has some downtime and while there is a lot more dancing in Hadestown, there’s also a lot more physical action in the rumble and the fire stunt and the rain sequence and whatnot.
i don’t know what it is with anons in my inbox and thinking they’re entitled to say what brody is doing in taking breaks when needed is wrong. you don’t know why he’s out and it’s not your business why he’s out. everyone is entitled to their off days. try playing pony boy for an eight week show and then you can talk shit. he’s allowed to take breaks and the fact you’re insinuating he can’t makes me believe you’re just being an entitled prick. he could very well be sick or just taking a well deserved break. and the whole “being held accountable” thing is bullshit. he’s not doing anything wrong in putting his own needs first. if he feels he can’t do the show at 100% then he can’t do the show. and i commend him for that.
idk what it is with all these people staying on anon either like if you can’t even say this without needing anonymity to cover your tracks you shouldn’t be sending this to me.
#i have yet to find a positive message about him in my inbox#why am i the one everyone sends brody hate to lmao? like i get i defend him a lot but it’s exhausting after a while#my arguments weren’t as clear this time im sorry but im so sick of reiterating the same shit#this message is beyond entitled and brody is allowed to take as menu absences as he needs#he doesn’t make the call about needing an alternate either because i believe that’s up to the show#you can’t blame him for everything#and you know i’m a fan of his so why send me anonymous hate of a media you know i enjoy?#don’t interact with the media or the person if yku hate it that much#you’ll be a lot happier if you jsut quit interacting with media you dislike#alaska’s asks#brody grant

you all know it's possible to dislike a character and still understand they're complex right. even hating on a character doesn't mean someone doesn't UNDERSTAND their actions, just that they don't LIKE them
#full disclosure this post is about caitlyn from arcane but it applies to a lot of characters & media#you can like character who does some bad things and you can also dislike a character who does some bad things!!#someone's personal feelings have no bearing on whether they understood the story; only which parts they emotionally resonated with more#okay that's it#caitlyn lovers and haters alike i support you as long as you're getting the facts right and actually thinking 🫶#yap sesh over now#arcane#caitlyn kirraman#caitlyn kiramman#analysis#yukisloser

I've been thinking a lot about art and why it doesn't feel good anymore, and a lot of what I keep coming back to is a) simply not being happy with my style, but b) not feeling comfortable experimenting because I feel like I need things to be """post worthy""" 🙄 so like... it's kind of a vicious cycle lmao so I'm heeding the advice I used to give people trying to overcome perfectionism which was "don't worry about making things that are 'good enough' to post and just post everything."
So... some vague style experimenting 🤷♂️ and also a sketch of Ilya from forever ago that I really liked but kept thinking I would come back and do more with.
#ghost city#maksim girard#ilya kasharin#I forgot Maksim's tattoos AND his little neck ridges in the headshots but oh welllllll#artbyrom#me: my struggles with art are deeply rooted and totally unique to me and I could never hope to explain them to anyone else#-describes two of the most common struggles for artists on social media ever-#I'm still happy with my general approach to lineart and the flat colors with minimal accent shading#and I even really like the thing I've done a couple times now of selectively coloring the lineart#so the issue I'm having is with like... the fundamental base of the art 😬#so many of the artists I really admire have very minimalist highly stylized ways of drawing people and I want so badly to pursue that#I never really wanted my art to have this more semi-realistic look to it :| but I'm like...#I don't feel confident in my ability to portray a specific face unless I detail it to hell and back#I need to find a way to get comfortable with forms that are more... representational#fuck.... y'know a lot of it might come down to how outspoken my ex was about how much he disliked simplistic and representational styles#lol. lmao.

You've probably gotten this a lot already, but Bluesky is basically Twitter, but if you don't like how political the ads have been and want to see more "tweets" from people that follow the social politics of Tumblr + where all the "adult content" artists went + where the academics and institutional scientists are moving to; it's a good place to go for that. As you can tell tho, I have some mixed feelings about what's been happening to it, as it was initially built to have multiple instances spread across the net, but it's become fairly centralized now that Twitter is hemorrhaging users of generally a left leaning persuasion who have only ever used twitter and have no desire to integrate with the original vision of the site and instead use it as Twitter 2.0. I will say, an upside is an easier creation and cultivation of "feeds" which let you have multiple themed feeds for you to follow and potentially contribute to. Like feed of just cat pictures. Or a feed of just current scientific findings from scientists. That kinda thing. Of course there's also just who you're following feed, which doesn't use AI algorithms to supplement it, it's just who you're following like on Tumblr.
Anyways, hope this helps shed some light on things, and I hope this wasn't too forward of me lol. Have a great day!
wait this is a really good explanation and way more in-depth than i was expecting, thank you!!
i just checked it out and yeah. it looks Exactly like twitter, at least on desktop. just without the hundreds of bot replies and blue checkmark users with the most hate-filled takes i've ever read.
#yeah im in academia and i heard coworkers talking abt it too#bc ik networking happens a lot on twt but academia twt is more and more un-useable now with all the bots and blue checkmarks#kinda crazy to click on a posts and be inundated with ai replies restating the original tweet or like. people saying horrible things#i just hate twitter so much. so so much. but that's where all the ppl are. but that site is un-useable i have a rule where i never click#into the replies of a tweet. and i block everyone i dislike immediately. but at that point like why even bother being on there#i wonder if it'll last. i remember when threads became a thing but it never really took off or replaced twitter.#also as the userbase grows im sure the toxicity will grow too. tho i wonder if all the elon loyalists are just determined to stay on twt#im probably not gonna use it tho idk im weaning myself off of social media. i do most of my yapping here to my circle of like 20 mutuals#ty for the askkk :)#mamahersh

top 5 fandoms?
oooh, okay! so my top 5 to hang out in (which is not necessarily the same as stuff I draw fan art of, but ones where I’ve gone to group meet ups at conventions, attended watch parties/events for, actively seek out the tags for on twitter, etc) are probably
-Kamen Rider
-the bitter Sam fan side of SPN
-DMBJ
-Pacific Rim
-Guardian/Zhen Hun or the Yakuza franchise
#I avoid a lot of fandom spaces now because the vibe isn’t super fun and I dislike the elevator pitch trend people have adopted#when talking abt media like I fully did not give a shit about dunmeshi until a friend convinced me to read it bc the way everyone#on twitter talked about it was boring as hell so I’m not interested in going beyond talking to two friends abt it#and generally keep it down to the tried and true system of ‘find five friends and chat about it offline’ method of enjoying things#but the above five things are things where I actively go out to engage with or talk to other people about#tbh fan art is a lot like shaking loose thoughts from my brain and forcing them to take a coherent shape on paper#ANYWAY I think the JSAMN fandom might replace one of these at some point. everyone is very nice 🥺

this is kind of obscure but like. Now that I have comics out in the world and people are starting to see my storywriting, I feel like I have a little more confidence in myself and the sensitive-but-serious stories that I want to tell.
And it just bothers me sometimes that the same people who enjoy my storytelling-- and tell me that i'm very conscientious and aware and delicate with the subjects i'm breeching-- also turn around and tell me i'm too critical of other media. Like… lmao. Why do you think my stories come across so thoughtful? Have you considered that you enjoy them because I'm fucking aware and careful? And I think a lot about the media climate that we live in? That I write stories because I want to see something different?
Like don't just take in my content without a second thought of all the shit i think about behind the scenes to make my storylines as careful and sympathetic as possible
#ugh this is a build up about so many things#but i really hate being told i'm a party pooper when i dislike media#i'm not even trying to get anyone to stop consuming it#i just want to have open discussions about their flaws and also like#WARN PEOPLE who are hearing about it but have no context#ppl love to praise things and call them the best without thinking like#it can be the best TO YOU but there are a lot of things we overlook#and that's fine it's human but#it's about keeping other people safe as well#that's all!!
