I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji

I got bored so I made a little chart of frequently seen eyes and their details in Professor Layton!

can ppl in this fandom like... stop... implying that transmasculinity in hcs or (especially) canon is shallow or misogynistic or even transmisogynistic on princible, like literally just by being prescent in someones mind or in the text. like that doesnt fuckin feel good. thats kind of really nasty to imply. if its not okay to say about other trans experiences, maybe dont say it about this one either. why is there a weird little exception here. yall KNOW how much that sucks to hear all day every day. what the fuck

I love how the star was community is so free-the-clones based and AGREED upon that they are their own men, with brains and their own thoughts and feelings. You know, not mindless slaves.

UNTIL. UNTIL a clone is made to be trans.

Then suddenly all they are is JUST clones, JUST CLONES, no mind of their owns and un-thinking slaves. Because a clone can’t possibly think that for themselves. Its just crazy to me, and its always the cis white male side of it. Its ALWAYS the mfs who glorify what the clones had to do because it was “with the boys”. Clones have rights within the fandom until they dont.

[meramori]

look at me. holding your head in my hands. look at me.

comment on fics. it doesnt have to be long. doesnt have to be complex. (although it would be very very appriecated) it can be a quote and a keyboard smash, or a simple heart. you got to the end of the fic spent time reading it, by the gods you can take the time to type <3 and hit enter.

love the authors you read from, and let them know you love them. new year new you and all that. it'll mean more to them that it willl to you. your already at the end anyways just scroll a liiiiitle futher. please.

Apparently a hot take but i really think that authors,artists,game developers, etc shouldn't be TOO involved with the fandom surrounding what they created. By all means interact with it as much as you want, but i feel like if you try to insert yourself too much in a fandom space you're bound to see things that you dont like.

I see this with one fandom im in where the creators were way too involved and it led to them getting some really bizzare parasocial fans (wich can happen to anyone but specially if ur too involved in your fandom) but also to them trying to control every single thing their fandom posts.

You as a creator ARE allowed to be uncomfortable with certain fanmade content, but you cannot make a fandom of thousands of people on multiple different websites only post sanitized content that you fully agree with. You can ask them to not show that kind of content to you, but you cannot stop it from being made.

There will always be sometimes that you dont like on the Internet and no matter how much it makes you uncomfortable, you cannot stop those who make those contents and its also not right to harrass them or send others to do so, best i can tell you to do is block and move on.

Im sorry but if y'all don't start simping for MK1 Jerrod, I might cry 😭

He was there for two seconds, I KNOW, but between his soft-as-fuck expressions and his pretty eyes and the arched nose, I'm fucking hooked.

I think about him as much as any other mortal Kombat character I love and it's a problem 😞

LEMME FUCK THE OLD MAN I BEG

[intertexts-moving]

as long as im riordanposting for the night (started monster donut last night also. this is why.) i will say.the thing w/ percy being this universally known hero or figure or contemporary legend where everyone loves or hates him or tells stories ab him or whatever is like. if u lean into that u legally Cannot make him a conventionally het attractive jacked guy. u cannot. he absolutely has to be a skinny ass scruffy disreputable imp looking beanstalk of a teenager. guy who u would pass a wide berth on the street because he looks like he might trip u or steal ur wallet. class clown. guy who skips class & likes cartoon network shows. the one skater kid who always gets picked up by the cops when none of his friends do. ruffles the hair of anyone shorter than him. holes in his hoodie cuffs gets paranoid when high mischievous big brother coded. distressed 90% of the time. covered in awful scars. guy who got offered godhood & still has the bearing of being the kid who everyone committed microaggressions against in highschool. someones like oh yeah thats the famous hero guy & every time the camera pans 2 whoever hes standing with before scratching back & going HIM??? that one???

Just went on Instagram to look at more DR art (because tumblr won't let me see a lot of DR art for some reason) and saw hinanami discourse out in the wild which made me say, out loud, "oh, are we still doing this 💀"

Like idk if I've just aged out of the fandom (on Instagram) but just seeing that hinanami rant made me realize I've been spoiled by the DR community on Tumblr bc I'll scroll on here for 2 minutes and see a text post that will literally SHIFT my entire view of a character/ship and CHANGE my LIFE in just a small analysis that was probably written by op while they were on the toilet💀

Anyway it made me think of the post about Maki and Chappel Roan that I actually recited by memory out loud to my friend last night [gooning over wlw content together after watching Muriel's Wedding], And also that one post abt Monomi and Monokuma being Junko's satire of her own rivalry with Mukuro, and Junko not liking that her friends don't appreciate her fursona doing stand-up 💀💀 and like compare that to Instagram discourse and it's like "Komahina is stupid bc hinata isn't straight" like 💀

Anyway maybe it was the same on tumblr before [it probably definitely was] but now that I'm older I'm really appreciating mature convos/takes about danganronpa because good fanfiction/fanart/fan interpretations are truly adapting the story+characters in much better ways than the creators could ever imagine circa 2010 [pointy objects] [peaches and cream] [anything w/autistic nagito] [anything w/transmasc hajime]

number one rule of modern fandom experience (at the very least with media that has a propensity to draw Certain Crowds [looking especially hard at danganronpa and p5]) is CURATE YOUR OWN SPACE AND STRAY NO FARTHER ‼️‼️‼️ i personally escaped the early era dr fandom (pre v3 localization/the 2019 Danganronpa Renaissance) but time capsule posts tell me i dodged something of a bullet there ❤️ in that vein 2019/2020/covid era discourse was still crazy insane (<- was a part of it for sure LMFAO) but it had a much different Flavor than it did way back when. and the same is true of present-day: still a little kooky if you search hard enough (insta/tiktok/twitter/tumblr all have their own demons). but at least This go around i have largely avoided that by picking my people that i trust not to be Weird and just living in my own bubble wrt the dr fandom at large. and thats served me very well the past year+ since i got back into dr <3 and i have also seen MANY of those perspective-altering posts in that little curation circle that has deepened and made better my experience THE GOOD IS OUT THERE ‼️‼️‼️

THE JUNKO FURSONA POST ALSO LIVES IN MY BRAIN its so real and just one of many takes i’ve seen fly by in a post and been like This is so real and it’s mine now. many such cases <3 i follow people like that and simply block people expending energy on discourse i DOOOOOONT care about. like simply enjoy kmha (I SURE DO ‼️‼️‼️) if you like it and ignore hnmi/kmnmi if you dont (cant relate I LOVE YOU TOO HINANAMI + KOMANAMI ‼️‼️‼️) and live your life happy not angry ❤️

like re: maki lesbianism (which was written on the toilet no lie) she is The most lesbian of all time i could write 10,000 scholarly articles on her comphet + traumatic past of being made to hurt people keeping her from fully coming to terms with herself as a lesbian and as someone who wants to Protect the people she loves (an integral pillar of butchness!!!!!!!!) and it is so important to me. and MANY people disagree! and i simply just dont worry about it <3 but i DO think about the people that agree (and the people who i Influence to agree…..that makes me so happy to hear you talking about it with people :D) and that makes fandom FUN!!!!! not arguing over word of god or whatever that isn’t going to change anyone’s opinions anyway 😭

there is a LOOOOOT of good discussion and character/scene analysis and genuinely fun unique takes on tumblr (+ im sure other places but i rly only interact with dr on her & Occasionally by liking a twt post on my main) and that’s where i’ve made my niche <3 people having fun with the media they enjoy and trying to salvage its shortcomings and missteps because they love it!!

and putting little old Me up amongst the dr goats (transmasc hajime) (autistic nagito)………..framing this ask tbh the HIGHEST honor 4 me……..thank you my beloved cider as always KISS MWAH MWAH
