#this is normal behavior in fandom

[bibuckaroo]

absolutely hilarious to me that that side of the fandom think the buddie side is the delusional one because of the tim interview when the man himself CLEARLY stated that he had NEVER seen the fandom behaving this badly in all of his years working in the business and the only difference from all the other years to this one is the bt fandom, like genuinely lol.

he also stated about people coming to talk to him and using what he said when there are prints out there of their fandom doing this, like it’s not all of them obviously, just like there are parts of the buddie fandom who can be disrespectful too, but as someone who recently joined the fandom and saw the comings and goings through the years, i can safely say when a fandom is being too much on the disrespectful side and i saw that behavior way more on that side, honestly.

Roman depression :(

Go to the army they said-

Cubitus be like:

Haha who wants to start a strike??? For the fifth time this week??? :] (it's only monday-)

By the gods, I need more memes of them. They have so much potential for that. We love silly soldiers who act all tough and professional but end up being scared because they just can't win :3

GIVE THEM A BREAK!

(Permission for Cubitus to be the official leader of the Roman-Legionary-Strike-Activity-Revolution xD)

Ok so for everyone who thinks of trains as critters hear me out: train toys

Large, perhaps mechanical balls that stay securely on rails and are frequently bumped into like playing the largest game of kickball

A modified turntable where one or two trains push a panel that makes the turntable spin without the need of human interference

Freight cars made from sensory panels or are covered in different materials with different textures

Regular sticks or coal that the trains can chew on if you believe in the idea of them being able to eat, not unlike rodent toys where they come in fun shapes or use different wood/coal

Hanging rope (again, not unlike hanging toys for birds/rodents) that the train can latch onto and tug (could be modified and work like cable machines where there's different weights attached for strength building)

Y'know the concept of a chair spring you see in cartoons where people are ejected out of their seat? Imagine a giant version of that used to propel engines forward just for funsies

Train toys fellas, TRAIN TOYS

i can never wrap my head around people being really into a piece of media where they'll consume all the content except for the source material. like those people who are into batman movies/shows/webtoons but refuse to read comics. always thought that was really strange in all honesty! i've never seen people so obsessed with something yet intentionally not engage in more media in my life until now.

and then i remembered arcane is just a league of legends show and yknow what. they get a pass.

ASC Thunder Spoilers

some of y'all are fuckin weird about Squirrelstar/Brambleclaw

by that I mean the few people that viscerally hate Squirrelstar as if she personally killed their mother, plan to boycott the series until she dies, & are trying to pass off Brambleclaw as a completely innocent, misunderstood, wounded uwu baby with an annoying, naggy wife whose sympathy from the fandom is undeserved.

like i get it's just a fictional series about cats but the way some people try to justify Brambleclaw's abusive traits, claim that Squilf deserved to be mistreated by Bramble for one reason or another, act like those abusive traits aren't actually that bad, that they don't exist, or that they're just normal behavior creates some really horrible implications about the way people recognize & sympathize with those in abusive relationships. they may be fictional cats, sure, but passionately ranting about how badly you want the abuse victim to die & how innocent, misunderstood, & "overhated" the abuser is is very uncomfortable idc.

i'm not saying people can't dislike Squilf or even that they can't like Brambleclaw as a character, but when talking about these very real abusive traits that affect people in real life, if your first reaction is to try to justify them & pretend like they're not actually abusive traits that is genuinely disgusting & has really scary real life implications.

the post about the mirrors between the Kenny & Jane fight and the Minnie & Clem fight just reminds me of all the similarities between Violet and Kenny. like obviously they’re different characters, I just find it interesting how they share so many traits (being very loyal, may or may not sustain an eye injury, like fishing even if one is rod fishing and the other is spear fishing). there’s some more similarities I forgot to mention but I’ve been patiently waiting for someone to draw Violet and Kenny fishing wearing “women love me, fish fear me” hats or something.

oh yeah, ALSO. they both have moments where you can fight them and calm them down (Kenny on the train, Violet in the ending where you didn’t save her).

this is just so interesting! wish other people acknowledged it.

anon unknowingly unlocking my beef with kenny defenders who hate violet

vi was one of the first characters for me where i realized that a female character can have all the traits people will defend in their favorite male character(s) and yet theyll still find a way to absolutely despise her for some reason

kennys #1 defense is that him losing his family is what drove him to the brink and its soooo understandable for him to act out the way he does (brutally killing people, abusive even if it comes from a place of wanting to protect "his group"). but violet, who acts the way she does (isolationist loner) because.... she lost her family... is a disloyal bitch for some reason 😐 even while shes nothing but loyal to clem regardless of choice (people are quick to defend louis' actions in ep 2 as well and his behavior never makes Him disloyal for some reason 😐 "he lost his best friend!" and vi lost her best friends/gf because of marlon so?), and only has a lapse in judgement after you (determinately) "betray" her 💀 AND she apologizes for it if you do!!

if nothing about violet changed besides her pronouns the fandom reception to her would be so dramatically different and i refuse to believe otherwise

"Just letting you know that the person you reblogged from ships this problematic ship-" yeah sorry champ, i forgot to go clawing through their posts to see if their shipping habits are virtuous and god honouring before I hit reblog :( won't happen again

Was lurking around the internet and stumbled across something someone said about how the RRB could be redeemed, as several characters in the series that have exhibited bad boy behavior (i.e. Harry Pitt with his smooching, Mitch with his hamster abuse) were redeemed in the end of their respective episodes. So, by that logic, the RRB could be redeemed as well.

...guys... need I remind you that the RRB were literally designed to be evil and they never exhibited the potential for redemption in any of their episodes. If they could, it would have happened. Ice cold toilet water flows through their veins. They are built different.

I just wanted to say that uenoyama is the writer for umi e, he did all the heavy work for the song, composing, lyrics, he sung it and named it, so people crediting yuki for umi e, when he only did a semi demo it's erasing ueno's hard work and it's very weird behavior.

Also it's such a nasty move from the animation team to erase uenoyama's vocals during umi e for hiiragi and not giving him any verse when it's clearly that uenoyama sung along hiiragi at least during the second part of the song and it's when the song became a love song but the animation team decided to only give uenoyama background vocals that can be barely heard during the song, we knew kizu was his number one anti especially now that she decided to drop a new pic for her favorite but didn't bother to drop one for ueno's birthday or a new one for this movie that is supposed his "big moment" but now in addition to erased uenoyama from key scenes in the movie and adding new mafuyuki ones the animation team decided to erase him from his song too and even decided to drop a new version of fuyu no hanashi "ritsuka vers." when you can barely hear him again instead of just giving him a new song for him and mafuyu. Not only is Ritsuka ignored and hated by the fans and kizu, now the animation team instead of trying to expand on him and fix the manga's problems they decided it's better to ignore him, sometimes I wish uenoyama was from another author because he clearly deserves better than whatever they are doing to him.

Actually I really do think a lot of the problems in this fandom stem from the fact that there are a lot of people here who actually don’t enjoy fandom at all and should maybe just stick the talking about the show with their friends in a discord group or something instead of being here making everyone else miserable for just having a good time

[shardsofmarxx]

god i can't keep doing this

[sailingfireshipz]

I just want to say how I appreciate yall so much because there's no one in my life that I can have these type of conversations with & they not look at me like I have 10 heads.

Roman Sacrifice??

POV:

You are a Roman soldier and lost your mates in the forest like an idiot and now you fear that the Gauls gonna sacrifice you to their gods because that's what is told about the BARBARIC SAVAGES😀 💥

(No. Sacrificing Romans is a way too old tradition. We don't do that anymore😇~some Gaul)

🌿If someone finds lost Romans in the woods, give them to me and I'll guide them back to their camp 🖖🏻

(I always liked the thought of our Romans literally being utterly scared to end up as a sacrifice while the Gauls are just vibing and are like: wtf you're crazy or sum? Who told you we sacrifice your kind?)
