Anti discourse is SO funny to me because like. Beetlejuice was one of the only characters that didn't manipulate, take advantage of, or use personal jabs at Lydia. What did he do? He told her loves her twice (if you count the wedding). And yeah he stalked her, which was revealed to be him watching over Lydia getting trapped in Rory's manipulative spider-web. He literally cannot stop smiling around her in most of their interactions. The movie encourages you to be aware of the pairing, as Beetlejuice gets pushed out of the villain into an anti-hero role & more likeable as Lydia's romantic partner. And we're mentally disturbed for seeing some potential on that?? Okay, sure, go figure. You have every reason not to ship it, but you do not have any right to threaten & insult people about it. I know Beetlebabes is questionable in the first movie, but it's easily the healthiest relationship route in the sequel:
#i ship it in both movies btw in case that wasn't clear#yeah I'm one of the freaks sue me#beetlebabes#beetlejuice#beetlelyds#beetlejuice x lydia#lydia x beetlejuice#beetlejuice spoilers#beetlejuice 2#beetlejuice beetlejuice#beetlejuice 2024#betelgeuse#🐜 discourse#the hypocrisy from some people is astounding#seriously though don't give these antis the time of day#sometimes they're just fishing for drama#and a lot of that is reflective on how they'll insult you#crosstagging was also a dick move ngl#lydia deetz

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

I feel as though people (mostly people who aren't insanely wataeipilled, or involved with shipping in general) are misunderstanding what we're upset about. It's not the simple assumption that we want wataei to be "canon" and that we're upset that that can't happen because of Eichi getting married, it's that HappyEle have been on a character assassination spree recently (Izumi in Mad Party & Kohaku in Last Mission) and we're worried that's going to happen to Wataru and/or Eichi. Regardless of shipping, Eichi never told Wataru, who's supposed to be his "best friend" that he's essentially been engaged to Tori's sister for the best part of a year. If Wataru isn't upset about this, then they've done it once again, because Wataru trusts Eichi to take his mask off around him; whilst the mask is "him", the "mask's purpose" (the title of his card in EP:Link) is to hide oneself. Wataru took it off for EICHI and Eichi ALONE. He put himself on display, allowed his facade to begin to fade around him and be his authentic "self" and opened himself up to possibly even be hurt (which he was immediately, by the way, and CRIED over it. HIBIKI WATARU. CRIED. Because Eichi was indifferent to his confession of love) because he trusts Eichi, and Eichi's told Wataru before (Tempest) that he also trusts him. So, is it or is it not blatant character assassination, and possibly even going back on their more recent development of becoming more honest with each other, if Wataru is not upset with this development?
#Question isn't rhetoric btw I'm open to people disagreeing with me#wataei#eichi tenshouin#tenshouin eichi#wataru hibiki#hibiki wataru#enstars#I hope I don't sound absolutely insane here#i constantly doubt what I'm talking about whenever i talk about them because i'm terrified of being wrong#i personally think that akira will take the story in a preferable direction but we're not wrong for expecting the worst#considering how completely bastardised Izumi's character was in mad party#and how little Kohaku's emotions were payed attention in Last Mission#It's not completely out of nowhere to say 'wataei in atlantis' could possibly be the next on the list#however i sincerely hope they're not#i'd also like to mention how most of us just wanted the story to be about fine reflecting on their development as a unit and as friends#much like crazy:b's and ra*bits' climax events#and some may also be upset that that's not the case#not me personally but something i've heard#valentine's rambles

Before we get an Imu face reveal I thought we should vote on whether Imu’s going to be hot or not. With one piece villains it can really go either way.
#one piece#imu#im-sama#i think they're gonna be pornographically hot btw#or at least in a pretty way#we've gotten some lucifer symbolism with their character already and lucifer was supposed to be the prettiest of gods angels#so i think their design might reflect that

so this post may be controversial but i will no longer be silenced. i need people to start being accepting of bears/fat men in general that don't fit into the "dad" vibe or aren't conventionally attractive. quit acting like they've all gotta be incels/mladys/neckbeards/racist weebs etc. because first off, fat hairy nerdy men with patchy beards and glasses or acne or bald spots or whatever are HOT and i'm tired of pretending they're not!!!!!! and more importantly!!! even if you aren't attracted to them (or even if you are) i need you to start being fucking normal about them. because if you keep treating every fat hairy guy with glasses as if he's this rampant bigot, you're just gonna create more divides, and also you're a fucking asshole who equates looks with morality. something something alt-right pipeline, someone's worth is not determined by how attractive you find them, etc. please stop being fatphobic to ppl you don't like lol
#💙 cass#fatphobia#i am SO serious i think the archetype of 'fat incel with glasses and a patchy beard and lives in his mom's basement'#regardless of whether or not it's accurate (often isn't)#is like. Am i supposed to not find that attractive. I love nerdy lookin guys. They're hot!!!!#Glasses are hot! Stubble is hot! Fatness is hot!!!! like why are you trying to say they aren't. i have working eyes???#I mean i don't like incels but this ain't about that it's about yalls rampant anti-masculism and fatphobia. Lol#i hate how we've made it seem like you can't actually find fat guys attractive. WHat's up with that btw#like even in gay spaces when you say 'i love bears' theres a really specific kind of guy that ppl associate with being a bear#hell i don't even always want to say bear. I want to say that i like fat guys in general#because i just really do!!!! i don't get why this is an issue#again that's only half of the point i'm making here. i'm also saying you need to be normal about people you don't find attractive#and ESPECIALLY when it comes to yalls internalized fatphobia. damn. reflect on that! thanks#that part is way more important but just. i feel like i never see anyone actually expressing attraction to fat guys#which is CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#again probably because we've created this idea that no one could Ever find a fat person attractive. societal fatphobia etc#but anyway. the way i would die for a trans bear with glasses.................

WELCOME BACK 2021 CANCEL CULTURE CAN'T KEEP THIS CUNT DOWN @BLEIKUREFUR @BLEIKUREFUR @BLEIKUREFUR
#like you dont understand val is sooo fucking character#that despite independently belonging to his own wild ass incredible canon (stan that fucking talent btw so juicy so incomparable)#he will always belong on the outskirts of mara's canon because of (unintelligible grunting noise) themmmm#they met in a crossover ep and both refused to leave#are they a ship are they foils are they mutual parasites are they sickening reflections are they fated for each other because no one else#could ever understand accept and respect the unspoken depths of ugliness in each other#they're all that and worse.

The sheer amount of "it's almost like they can {exactly what they can do}..." "jokes" I want to have the characters unknowingly make is ridiculous. Like, they're so close to figuring it out! But they're like "nah, I've never heard of magic like that, that's ridiculous!"
And little do they know.
Seriously, though, how much is too much? Can I please sneak it in, like, a hundred times without people getting suspicious? Please?
I think I'm soooooo funny with it, obviously.
PS... read the tags.

#this definitely isn't about Gene btw#Gene himself doesn't even know he has magic; but when he meets Tazin (comma) Tazin is almost immediately like “kid wtf kinda magic is that?#They (aka just Tazin because Gene's just like “wdym it's not normal?”) conclude that he has “sensory magic” and move on lmao.#I mean it's better than earlier drafts of the story where Gene OBVIOUSLY had other stuff going on and they're just all “nah; no magic here!#Btw all this stuff with Gene is 100% supposed to reflect / be reminiscent of those times where neurodiverse people are like#“I've lived with this my whole life thinking everyone else had this exact experience and you're telling me that's NOT NORMAL????”#Which btw is an experience I've had a lot myself; I was only diagnosed with autism as an adult and there's a lot of fun things about that.#So anyway Gene's neurodiverse coded in basically every single way LMAO! (Because y'know he's also autistic.)#I mean he's not the only one where his magic has hints littered all over the place to the point where other characters suspect it but like#yeah he's definitely the biggest perpetrator haha.#Kid thinks his only magic is “sensory magic” (which uh... I mean I GUESS you're technically using magic for that shit???#But it's a mix of that and HELLO AUTISM SENSITIVITY TO SOUND!!!) and yeah it's nowhere even close to that haha.#the feychild speaks#the feychild speaks in tags!#the arcane rifts#sun and shadow#gene the amnesiac#tazin the theater kid#foreshadowing#dramatic irony#original works#plot twist#plot twists#fantasy#fantasy world#fantasy worldbuilding#magic#my writing#writing comedy#writing struggles

i hate those stupid "help me glow up" tiktoks because every single stitch is just like "have the most up to date trendy totally-wont-die-out-in-three-months look and look the most feminine you can because thats what makes women pretty and valuable and hide everything about yourself that you've been taught is ugly because they're right" and the comments are all just like "this actually looks so much better 😍"
#literally every single one is just. get long hair or get a bob but nothing too short bcs that wouldnt suit your face. or any face also btw#unless your face still looks cute and pretty and feminine with really short hair.#also wear so much makeup you do not look like yourself anymore and cover your acne and scars and moles and dont have too many freckles#and get rid of the glasses or change them so they're more trendy and cute looking and feminine and hot#SHUT UPPPPP SHUT UP#trinket reflects#sorry i rant about beauty standards so much its just that i hate the world

#journal#YIPPEE!#i did not attend kidz bop never stop tour btw. i just picked up this leaflet a while ago because it was funny and i knew i could use it in a#collage at some point....#um materials used here are quite varied but to name a few. leaflet advertising shrewsbury festival. comic shop receipt. token card from a#beer festival. packaging from a figure. easter chick from the most essential item an artist can own: crafts beautiful magazine 2003.#the robot doodles are not mine they are from the festival leaflet#im kind of obsessed with qr codes to be honest like they're ugly and vile and too prevalent in our world but also because they're literally#on everything they're a good thing to collect i guess. a reflection of our times

internalized transphobia is fucked up. i started transitioning 6 years ago and there's still shit i'm only now starting to accept about myself
#america needs to be dismantled board by board i think#i can't speak on anything but my own experiences living in massachusetts but#i interact with a lot of 'hate the sin love the sinner' style transphobia and people don't even realize they're doing it#so for me personally i don't fear violence from others but have struggled a LOT with like#trans identity being humored rather than actually believed and understood. like 'her pronouns are they/them' type shit#and reflecting on the messaging about gender i grew up with and see children continue to replicate. not good!#a lot of WEIRD ideas about men and women and other. what they are and what they aren't and how desirable they are#cis ppl are lying when they say there are only men and women and they can't change btw. they KNOW that's not true#look at the way they treat and talk about gender nonconforming and trans people of different genders#i know people make jokes about or seriously believe homophobia and transphobia aren't appropriate names bc it's not about fear#but they are afraid. i think they're not so much afraid of gay and trans people as they're afraid of being gender nonconforming themselves#displays of gender nonconformity and homosexuality make them think about their own gender nonconforming traits+desires and that scares them#they see us as threats and lash out at us bc it's easier to do that than face their feelings. and the fear doesn't excuse their retaliation

#the wimpification of mike comes directly on the heels of the babygirlification of mike btw. so no they can't really be totally#separated when the reasons ppl give for calling mike a wimp sissy are the very same reasons they use to call him babygirl.#which.. the babygirlification of mike is different from the way that tumblr originally used it - which is to say ironically - because ppl#take away a lot mike's key and defining characteristics that separate him from the rest of the party to call him babygirl.#and while some ppl say it in a joking manner many don't. and you SEE that in the way that people's opinions really come out in polls and#what headcanons or AUs get catapulted to fandom-wide popularity etc etc. every joke this fandom makes gets turned into Real Canon#Character Analysis that quickly replaces what gets upheld as canon and then anyone that doesn't take the joke seriously is told they're#the wrong and weird one. even though the show and countless of duffer interviews are right there. and obviously none of these people#are real but if you're someone that actually enjoys canon then you easily and quickly get shoved out of fandom because what you see#doesn't reflect the characters you love and if you try to create content that does it either gets torn down or ignored or gets people in#your inbox attacking you and telling you you're making this fandom a hostile place ironically enough lmao.#but whatever i guess lmao. 🤷♂️#and before someone twists this—this isn't attacking anyone for having headcanons. this is about how headcanons and jokes can never#be just that and instead bleed into actual analysis.

Literary devices, how I adore you... allusion, colloquialism, alliteration, metaphor, simile, juxtaposition (!!!!!!!), anntithesis, foreshadowing, imagery, symbolism, personification, irony, hyperbole???? All amazing.
#juxtaposition is my favorite child#and antithesis. they're similar#I ADORE working with them#or like. if I'm going to be using imagery. choosing it in a way that isn't as common#say i wanted to represent happiness or sadness with weather and seasons. usually summer is happy and winter is sad#OR INSTEAD#it's looming summer thunderstorms and heavy air versus the sunlight reflecting off of snow with a warm coffee mug in your hands#imploring more people to mess with and learn about literary devices#ALLITERATION TOO. I LOVE IT#idk maybe that's an unpopular opinion but I like alliteration sparingly#it can add a really nice rhythm and emphasis in a sentence#something i really like to do is adding a lot of more complex words in clusters for emphasis#it forces the reader to slow down and really SIT in the scene as they. not decode but just understand it#fall out boy is really fun to look at through a literary lens btw. they do a LOT of fun wordplay constantly#ts and marianas trench too. though ts is sometimes a bit on the nose about it#marianas trench has some really nice lyricism actually. idk why they never took off as much as other bands of the era#I could definitely write an essay on marianas trench's lyricism#mitski is good at imagery#i should have been an english major. this is entertainment to me

I kinda keep forgetting tumblr is a thing tbh
#It's my sona as the tbh creeture btw in case that wasn't obvious#They like to pretend they're scary and hiss at you#But they're soft as a cloud and physically cannot harm anyone#Their eyes are about as reflective as baikal seals#Y'know where it's so reflective it constantly just looks like they're crying?#They also stare at you when they want attention but whenever you look at them they will look away#They can and *will* sit on you at inopportune times and fall asleep#Their wings are technically big enough to carry them but they can't fly#They're just too dumb to do it :p#They can climb tho#But only things they're not allowed to climb#Especially people#Head sitting is perhaps their favorite past time#They will also yell at you for food but walk away from it when you give it to them#Their allergic to sunlight#I should like stop there's too many tags#I made all of these up on the spot lmao#Please tage good care of them they baby#digital art#DemonicScribbles#ClipStudio
