I know people say Elena leaving was the reason why the vampire diaries went downhill do you agree or disagree with that what's your opinion ?

If anything, I will say the last two seasons suffered from the plot not letting Elena go and giving too much focus on her coffin situation. Nina had left for a reason, allow Elena to not be so focused on the character's motives. Why is Damon worried about disappointing Elena? She's in a coffin, sleep, let her be lmao. Why does Bonnie have to constantly live in regret in some moments that she's still alive? They could've created some really nice core four moments between Steroline/Bamon honestly. Let the Salvatore's grow without Elena. Let Baroline exist and flourish. Give us the friendship moments! Make Bamon canon maybe? Belvafore could’ve outsold. Edit: Kai could’ve stayed on, taking him out in s6 was a total waste. I’m sorry keeping Enzo… no lol.

I personally don't think Nina leaving is the reason for the show going downhill the way that it did. The show suffered from the writer's playing favoritism and creating certain plotlines that were so heavily centered on those characters. Ngl, there's plenty of moments where the show feels like it's the Damon show and sometimes it’s Caroline's show(post s6..).

To end this off the reason why I don't blame Elena is simply because in season 6, Elena really lacked a purpose in that season. Bamon/Bonkai OWNED that season. Elena didn't really have a memorable moment to me and a main character should never feel that way but she did. They didn't have anything for her to do besides be Damon's GF. Though despite the messy plotlines TVD has way more reply value than TO does for me even when theirs certain plotlines that’s irritating as fuck lmao.

saw a post criticizing lore rekindled a while back, and one of the points made was "it's unfair to rachel that someone else can profit off and make money off her work"

do you profit off lore rekindled??? i don't remember if you ever said that you were monetizing lore rekindled, so i'm unsure where this piece of information came from

I literally do NOT profit off Rekindled in any way shape or form, it's a Tumblr comic that's free to read, zero subscriptions, paywalls, or ads.

I did just recently open a Patreon and apply my Twitch channel to become affiliate, but 1. my Patreon doesn't have any paid members yet , 2. my Patreon won't be offering rewards that limit the reading experience of Rekindled (it's gonna be like random doodles n junk), and 3. I haven't even streamed since I applied for Affiliate and people are watching the streams for art and lo-fi, not for any sort of exclusive reading experiences that wouldn't also be accessible on Tumblr (you just get to watch me slowly work on Rekindled while playing FF XIV LMAOO) All of these restrictions I have in place is to prevent exactly what folks assume or accuse me - profiting off Rachel's IP. At the end of the day I just wanna create an AU fanfic project, even if it's created out of disappointment for what could have been.

I *do* spend a few hundred a month though for my assistant. So I'm working on Rekindled completely at a loss, out of my own pocket. So in that regard, even if I were to monetize any part of Rekindled... it wouldn't be for my own profitable gain, I'd maybe be able to cover some of my assistant fees 🤣 (but that's just hypothetical food for thought, because as I said above, I don't want to monetize Rekindled because of the potentially legal and ethical issues in doing so. Making money is also just not why I'm making Rekindled because it's something I wanna just do for fun! Money complicates things, turns shit into a job :'0) And let's be real, in that hypothetical scenario, I don't think any money I could generate on my free to read Tumblr project would come anywhere close to threatening Rachel's bottom line 🤣

And this isn't to throw anyone under the bus but when people get suspicious of Rekindled profiting off LO, I can't help but think of the actual fans of LO selling handmade LO merch on Etsy and LO-style adoptables and other arts and crafts dedicated to their favorite comic. And I'm not gonna judge them for that, more power to 'em if people wanna buy their cool stuff (and some of it is really REALLY cool, like I wanna buy their stuff too LOL), I just think it's ironic that people separate the two because... I'm not a diehard fan? Or because Rekindled has gotten popular here. Beats me. All that "popularity" is still just a niche remake of a niche comic in a niche medium. It's not Spiderman Lotus levels of big 🤣 but I know it probably feels that big to people who are engaged with this fandom and spend a lot of time in it.

There's an opposite side of being a yes man that perpetuates similar behavior on the other side - when you come up with reasons to rag on someone just for the sake of it because you can't rationalize them NOT being the all 100% pulp of evil LMAO (and I see people do this even to Rachel and it's not fair imo, like people who use the Lolita thing as a way to accuse Rachel of being a legitimate pedophile? Like no, I don't think we should be normalizing serious accusations like that. I think she's just misinformed in a lot of ways at worst and suffering from dark romantasy porn brainrot at best LOL).

Like, as an example, I've also seen people claim stuff like I'm in the fan spaces telling people not to read LO and to read LR instead? Which like... why would I do that, LR isn't for the fans anyways and I don't gain anything by being a dick in their space 🤣 If my own readers are doing that, that's out of my hands (but respectfully don't do this please!!! there's a reason I don't use the standard LO hashtags and only stick to the anti ones!!!!) but again (and this is a big assumption so take with grains of salt) I think people just like to claim these things because they feel it's just naturally the right thing to do when someone who has opinions they don't like actually puts them into action. Because now they can't say shit like "well if you think you're so much smarter than Rachel why don't YOU write the story!" and "you don't know what it's like to manage a comic!" so they grapple onto whatever other argument they can even if it's misconstrued or entirely pulled out of thin air and not backed up with any legitimate evidence.

Their perspectives make sense to them. My perspective makes sense to me. I don't blame people for being suspicious when they see someone like me pour this much time and effort and money into a project like Rekindled, they assume it HAS to do with something they can rationalize from their own point of view, like wanting to "steal" Rachel's work or profit off it or take it for myself out of "jealousy".

Sorry to disappoint y'all with a boring answer, but I'm just someone who was once a huge fan of LO and couldn't let it go. I'm just someone who's way too hyperfixated, with a lot of passion for making comics and experience to match. I'd still be making it even if I didn't have an assistant. I'd still be making it even if I was stuck working with nothing but paper and pencil. Because I love making it and I love what it means to me, and I love that it makes other people feel the same way I do about it.

And that's really all I have to say on that.

[blue-thief]

respectfully asking you to drop those trans hcs for the bllk boys!!!

yeah sure ofc i'm so glad you asked!

i'll split them up based on which NEL team they're on for the sake of my own sanity

(i don't actually hc ALL of them to be trans so i'll just mention the ones i actually have a hc for lol)

bastard munchen

kaiser - THE most trans-coded of the bunch imo. like the whole thing with the blue rose tattoo to represent "turning the impossible into reality" and "defying the natural order of things". and his full name is "michael kaiser" which can be interpreted as "god's chosen emperor". there's no way bro was given that name at birth. he's also coded to have religious trauma which would become much more layered if you interpret him as trans. he's also, interestingly enough, the only one to NOT have a metal chain around his neck on his cover. he's the only one with glass. a lot of ppl have interpreted this as him having a fragile ego, but glass can also be taken to symbolize transformation (i just pulled this from a random website talking about the spiritual meaning of glass lmao). ALSO also him being annoyed by his long hair in ness's flashback. trans. plus his insecurity concerning how good he is in comparison to (who he perceives as) cis players just screams insecure trans masc who's relying too much on toxic masculinity to affirm his gender to his peers lmao.

ness - he totally thought he would have to fight his parents on this but they were surprisingly cool with it + even helped him w puberty blockers and stuff. he still hates them for the anti-magic stuff but at least they're not transphobic?

isagi - don't ask me to explain this i just get those vibes

noa - (reporter) "what is your opinion on trans people with an unfair biological advantage in sports?" (noa, a trans man who transitioned wayy before he got famous) "i AM trans people with an unfair biological advantage in sports"

pxg

shidou - he just has bigender vibes man. japanese isn't big on third-person pronouns, but once he starts getting better at english, he'd def start collecting pronouns like pokemon cards. he figured out his identity through chainsaw man ("wow denji's just like me fr but so is angel devil but so is asa but so is-")

ubers

(i have nothing for any of the ubers. feel free to prove me wrong)

fc barcha

bachira - non-binary but he doesn't know it yet (any and all pronouns once he does figure it out)

manshine city

chigiri - peak gender, everyone confuses him for a girl. he uses masculine language, and while he sometimes acts annoyed when ppl call him princess, he doesn't bother correcting them. does anyone actually know chigiri's gender? no. does he know what it is? yes. will he tell anyone? no. he thinks it's funny to keep ppl guessing with the constant contradictions

reo - i didn't actually hc him as trans at first but the post i was complaining about earlier was dunking on this hc specifically so uhhh yeah he's trans now sorry i don't make the rules <3. his dad's company also pioneered top surgery that doesn't leave any scars which is why no one in bllk has any. like with ness, his dad is surprisingly not transphobic but he sucks in other ways lmao (but now that you think of it, his whole struggle with wanting to live a life completely different from what his parents had in mind for him IS a very trans-coded backstory)

[cfr749]

Not you liking antilucy posts, how far have the mighty fallen

Lol! This fandom is so ridiculously polarized about so many things and it’s exhausting.

I’m not anti-Lucy! I’m not anti-Tim! I love both characters for different reasons; both characters (and the writers) also annoy the f*ck out of me sometimes. I’m watching a show and sharing my opinions on fictional characters. I don’t think either is perfect. I’m not going to defend either to the death if I disagree with something they do.

Tbh, I don’t actually know what post you’re talking about, but if it’s the one I reblogged explaining (respectfully) why I disagreed and empathized a bit more with Lucy in 6x05, then sorry I’m willing to engage with and talk to people I don’t agree with 100% of the time?

Believe it or not, I don’t just like stuff I agree with. I like stuff that includes respectful, thoughtful discourse seeking to help others understand their view even if it’s not *my* view.

What a bummer that there seems to be so little room for anyone that isn’t interested in picking a side in this fandom — Team Positive or Team Negative, Team Lucy or Team Tim, but I’m just gonna do me like I’ve always done.

Thanks for sharing your feelings Anon.

Darksided Takes Seen On The Internet:

It became The Woke Dead after R&M got together 😑

I stopped watching and deleted TWD from my DVR after R&M became a couple because I don’t want my kids to see that (on a show with some of the most graphic gore and several interracial couples, Richonne is where they drew the line) 🤡

RJ isn't a legitimate son to Rick - and just an overwhelming amount of dismissive-at-best downright-racist-at-worst attitudes towards a child 😪

Taunting that we’ll only be getting about 240 minutes of R&M in their spin-off 🤣 (like sis, we would have been grateful for just a 5 min Richonne special during an AMC commercial break so 240 minutes is a blessing)

Rick had more chemistry with insert-any-non-Black-woman (ones I’ve heard: Lori’s corpse, Andrea, Jessie, Jadis) 🙄

Rick is going to move on with a new woman and start a family in the spin-off, including starting a romance with Jadis (the spinoff didn’t even have to air for set videos and pics to already debunk this) 🥱

Rick only got with Michonne romantically because she was alive and one of the few women available 🤮 (sooo darksided & wrong)

Rick’s best wife was Jessie (this nearly convinced me media literacy is completely dead) 🫠

Michonne is a bad mother who left her kids behind for some horny reason (as if she’s not a wife seeking to bring home the father of her children)

I can’t possibly have an anti-Black take because I think Michonne and her sword are "totally badazz" I just can’t fathom any aspect of the show that highlights her humanity, desirability, and womanhood (this is never helping one's case the way they think it is) 🤔

I don’t usually address the parts of this fandom that have consistently spoken so negatively about this TV couple. I’d rather focus on the positive that we get to celebrate in actuality. And I promise returning to being positive and unbothered is what I’ll do after this post, that who knows if anyone will read and who knows if I’ll keep posted for long. But there’s been a lot of degrading comments that go beyond just “opinion” or fair discussion lately so…I just had to respectfully vent. And it ain’t brief. Cuz if this blog has shown anything it’s that - Brief? I don’t know her lol.

Here’s the thing I’d want to say kindly to those that “just don’t buy Richonne” and go out of their way to be negative about the TV couple - You don’t have to like the pairing. Truly you don’t. You don’t have to see the (blazingly blatant) chemistry. Just know, you not seeing it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

And the issue isn't about you not being a fan of a TV couple or even voicing that Richonne isn't your thing. The real issue is whenever you spend time in your real life demeaning the pairing online with real-life implications of real-life racism and hatefulness.

Look, I hadn’t been expecting Rick and Michonne to get together romantically before they went canon. It wasn’t cuz I thought they didn’t have chemistry and it def wasn’t cuz I thought they were like siblings. (Ain’t nobody should be looking at their sibling the way they looked at each other lol.) Upon first watch, I just loved R&M’s dynamic and thought the bond and family they found with each other was really sweet and special and I had left it at that.

But when they got together romantically it immediately felt so right. It felt earned. It felt alive, authentic, utterly fitting, and beautiful.

And then shortly after when I went back and watched compilations of their pre-canon moments, I realized why it felt that way. It’s because it was all always right there. All that build-up was evident. All the desire. All the love. I wasn’t only seeing the pre-canon looks they shared and the attraction they felt because I now knew they’d be a couple. I was seeing it because that’s simply what it was. What it always was. Like from a media literacy standpoint, a romance is where Rick and Michonne's story was heading. It was me that missed it. And it would be weird for me to act like their love story wasn’t there just because I initially missed it. That’s on me.

How you feel about their love story doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. It doesn't mean their journey wasn’t well done. Some people just miss it because it wasn't heavy-handed and others just refuse to see it and we know why.

And if it’s just a silly TV show to you and you’re adamant that you don’t care about the couple or about anything, then do yourself and everyone a favor and don’t comment. Cuz people who actually don’t care and think it’s just a TV show aren’t taking any time out of their day to comment negatively about something that was made to be enjoyed. If you enjoy the couple, great. Revel in all their glory. If you don’t - ask yourself why it would at all be necessary to talk down on the pairing so harshly unless their union does bother you more than you care to admit and for reasons you refuse to say aloud. (But trust, the reasons behind why you spew vitriol toward the pairing are still so loud)

Whether you buy it or not, Richonne factually didn’t come out of nowhere. Their love isn’t an afterthought. It’s a patient and passionate slow-burn that wonderfully unfolded into an out-loud soulmate type of love from both of them equally. You don’t have to see it or like it. That’s okay. (Even tho I do feel pretty confident if you close your eyes and imagine Michonne looking like Lori or Jessie or even Andrea I think all of a sudden you’d read their scenes as more than platonic) But nothing will change that an epic love story is what Rick and Michonne’s journey literally is. Not just to “shippers,” but to people who receive actual paychecks as part of the show. Everyone involved with that show knows and values that Rick and Michonne have a grand love story. And the fact that a whole spinoff about their love story is on the way is proof that Rick and Michonne's love wasn’t just a part of TWD it was one of the elements at the very heart of TWD. Why keep fighting to survive if not for the love and family you build in that world?

9 seasons of watching Rick Grimes and they’re ending the main character’s arc with an epic love story between him and the greatest love of his life for a reason. Because no matter who likes or dislikes it, sees the chemistry, or doesn’t - regardless of it all, the characters of Rick and Michonne deeply love each other, need each other, and desire each other. And they have for a long long time. Fans of them are not reveling in an opinion or speculation that R&M’s story is a romance. We’re appreciating the story that was and is literally being told.

Their love story is fiction. Their love story is also a fact and no opinion changes that. And anyone who is willing to just step back, turn off biases, and watch what is literally happening on screen - in the words of Michonne…you’ll see :)

Oh and if you don’t - you don’t. No sweat. Like what you like. Dislike what you dislike. Just keep it respectful and know that the opinion you’re entitled to doesn’t change the facts. So back to reality & positivity, I go. 😌

tlc fairest thoughts

this is all gonna be one post because if i put every "levana wtf" moment i had. i would end up just posting the ENTIRE book. ngl will probably tag this as anti?? because i don't have very much that is nice to say unlike the other books. respectfully, do not press keep reading if you're gonna be upset about how i feel about fairest because i don't want you to have a bad internet experience and i don't want ME to have a bad internet experience. thanks <3

am i really going to be forced to go through a whole second-hand-embarrassment-fest as an explanation for levana's backstory

sorry the writing style is giving the cruel prince. and i am very much not a fan of that book

wait i'm really confused. levana was 15 yet is now celebrating her 17th?? did the mourning period last an entire year or???

levana is just as delulu as cress when it comes to love, but she doesn't have the excuse of being locked up for like a decade in isolation. what's her excuse lol

respect for evret for being the ONLY grown man in this goddamn series that doesn't go after minors

AND NOW LEVANA IS 16 AGAIN. looks like someone in publishing didn't notice the continuity error lmao

idk if it's because i'm tired but WHY does channary not want anyone to know the father of the baby?? and also aren't there dna tests for that which make it redundant anyway??? tho i guess if she's fucking THAT many men then she wouldn't even know where to start with testing even if she did want to

i'm sorry but there's something HILARIOUS about levana hating all these women having babies. knowing that the babies are gonna grow up to kick her ass off the lunar throne

is the queen being glamoured????? it's hard to say because she was ALREADY such a disturbed individual that it's hard to say whether this new shit is her own thoughts or someone else's

TF LEVANA WAS SET ON FIRE BY HER SISTER?????

ahhh. part of me wonders if channary glamouring her sister during early developmental stages is what made levana so fucked up to begin with

the description of how hair catches fire is entirely accurate

god. i feel so bad for evret. his entire life was ruined and then he was killed before he could ever see his daughter grow up

ngl levana didn't seem to be very proactive in HER OWN story?? it's just a bunch of things happening to her or falling into her lap CONSTANTLY. other than her glamouring evret and trying to kill cinder, she never actually DOES anything. it felt like the author had a checklist of things like "okay these all canonically happen before the events of cinder so i'm gonna tick all these off quickly". idk. didn't love it. i'm glad that at least she didn't go to any effort to redeem levana, but istg levana literally had the moral consistency of literal water. one minute she's like "time to toss this baby off a balcony" and then "boohoo i didn't realise that killing someone would ACTUALLY kill them" like girl what???? that's not to say that i WANT her to be good and whatever, in fact i mean the opposite. just let her be an evil bitch. stop with the totally random, OUT OF PLACE bouts of empathy that happen for literally no reason. pulled me out of the plot so hard every time it happened. maybe it's because of my negative feelings but it just felt very anticlimactic?? i'm just sitting here like "okay so what??"

managed to get through the slogfest but i can already feel myself slipping into a reading slump. yesterday i wanted to read winter SO bad but now i feel like i need time to recover from that read. lesbians give me strength to persevere because i KNOW that i will LOVE winter

[no-more-rqs]

AGREE 100000% ON THE DISSOMEI THING finally someone said it

im glad people agree lol, honestly most people seemed to completely misunderstand my post (to the point where i got a hate ask calling me a xenosatanist and telling me to kill myself) so im glad at least some people understand

the "i hate rqs and transids you all SUCK and are BAD!!!!!" on every single post:

1, pushes away anyone considering alternative terms and forces them to stay in radqueer communities because you (not at anon) are telling them that they are horrible people supporting horrible things (even if thats not your intended message)

2, is very triggering to many people recovering from radqueer/transid communities*, and if they have nowhere else to go without being extremely triggered every time they try to participate in radqueer communities theyll end up going back to those communities because often those are the only communities where they felt a (false) sense of safety and security

3, comes off as self-righteous and holier than thou, which pushes even more people away and towards the radqueer community because transid/radqueer communities are much chiller when it comes to things like this instead of having shit tons of posts that say "im BETTER for not giving into dysphoria youre a BAD person and im a GOOD person" (obviously im not saying "faking races/disorders is good!!!!" im just saying that many people act like theyre morally superior to people struggling and faking things out of desperation**)

*please god the anti-radqueer community needs to realize that a lot of ex-radqueers' experiences arent just "i saw people saying kids can consent and identifying as transharmful and it made me really upset". yes that can be damaging, however, there are many people who have gone through far worse, often to the point where they cant see any mentions of radqueers or transids without having panic attacks. there are people who have been sexually assaulted, threatened, stalked, or even raped or violently abused in the radqueer community, and to just tell those people "well you need to get over it because telling radqueers to fuck off on every unrelated post makes me happy" is extremely insensitive and disgusting. you are not making a community for those with atypical dysphoria if you do that. many people discovered they had atypical dysphoria in the rq community, and have very severe trauma from the community. the dissomei community is not safe for those with atypical dysphoria.

**anti-radqueer (and dissomei by extent) communities have constructed this idea that any dysphoria that isnt gender dysphoria is easy to deal with and very minor. honestly, many peoples idea of "atypical dysphoria" isnt dysphoria at all (but at the same time, you have to have dysphoria or else youre a horrible person for "wanting to be" a different race). for one, dysphoria can be extremely debilitating: i have a friend who is a trans man and seoracial, and his racial dysphoria is almost always more intense and difficult than his gender dysphoria. its gotten better since i coined the term "seoracial" (i actually coined it partially to help him) and helped him, but that race dysphoria will probably always be there in some capacity (as it is for many trans people as well).

dissomei terms almost always have a very big paragraph on every post that explains how youre not allowed to transition because transitioning is harmful, with one or two sentences at the end saying "if youre doing it respectfully its okay though!". not only is this useless and at times offensive when put on posts where transitioning would be perfectly fine, its even more useless when put on posts where transitioning wouldnt be fine. using my example of race, nowhere does it explain what is and isnt "racial transitioning", only stating that its bad. this is extremely unhelpful and actively harmful because it portrays any form of relieving dysphoria as "racial transitioning (bad and horrible)" because it doesnt explain what that actually is. i made sure to include examples and explanations in my coining post for seoracial because nuance is extremely important when extreme dysphoria can be life or death for some people. acting like youre morally superior to people who faked their race because they didnt know of any other option is incredibly insensitive and rude, and this is a problem with the entire anti-radqueer community (im including dissomei in the anti-radqueer community because, as ive said previously, its just a subgroup of anti-radqueers and not really an overall atypical dysphoria community).

bro i love your posts but as a fellow trans man you really need to shut up hating on your trans brothers. like respectfully shut up, dude. i am EXTREMELY glad that your experience as a trans man has been wonderful, I am grateful that you are experiencing zero social or interpersonal drawback, I am tremendously happy that you are apparently blending into the cis crowd flawlessly. I also understand that seeing messy posts on the internet from people who can't let go of barriers they've been holding onto is annoying. but for the love of god you need to stop writing these posts trying to reverse engineer why you think your fellow trans men are inventing reasons to be unhappy and just deluding themselves that the grass on the other side of the fence isn't infinitely greener. whatever pockets of weird tumblr trans bro that thinks genuine capital m misandry is real aren't seeing your posts. me and my friends, who aren't fucking creating some new imaginary self oppression by acknowledging that no broadly privileged class is privileged in all things, do see your posts. we'd like to keep seeing them but holy shit you are just not helping anyone. please find solidarity in the different experiences of your community before invalidating them because you think you've solved transness. this is your blog and they're your opinions to voice but holy SHIT your experience and perspective is not universal dot JPG

1) you have literally no idea what I’ve been going through as a trans person for the past year. It’s possible for me to experience the privilege of passing to (SOME) random men I meet while still like, I dunno, being terrorised by my male colleagues because they think I’m a perverted freak, or being kicked out of my house by my parents. my apologies for not prefacing all of my posts with a full history of the transphobia I’ve faced before speaking on my own blog

2) if you think that criticism of the stupid shit trans men say on the internet is me being anti community then unfollow me dude lol. those posts are supposedly not even about you so what the fuck are you even upset about? you’re mad I’m dunking on other trans men for saying misandry is real? Is this the hill you wanna die on?

3) this over-cranked response to mild criticism of trans men championing genuinely harmful beliefs like transmedicalism is exactly in line with the kind of behaviour i was talking about, so thank you for being an additional data point

All our stuffs under the cut, including warnings, tags, etc.

My sona: any posts with tags: "Sona". I have several different Sonas, so they'll have different names. Specifically: Omen, Levi/Leviathan, Camo, Rorschach(Rors), Lucid, And Leri(Riri)

Be not afraid!, because the stories I make are somewhat Gorey and have mature themes. I'll make a separate mature blog when I'm older, however. Also, I tend to draw (sfw) self indulgent art with fictional characters I like. If my parents find my account, respectfully step away. There's nothing bad, I'm just self conscious. (Not that you don't already tease me about "bone Daddy".) There will be occasional (very occasional) suggestive content (nothing explicit) or artistic/nonsexual nudity.

About:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Names: Leviathan (Levi for short), Rorschach, Camo, Omen, Lucid, Leri (or Riri)

Pronouns: He/they/it. I also use neopronouns xey/xem, pup/pupself and void/voidself, but you don't have to use them. Almost any neo pronouns are cool with me, honestly. I also use we/our for myself occasionally. I am a singlet, we just like the way it sounds.

We're somehow simultaneously aroacespec and pansexual. No, I don't know how this works.

We feel like a fungal hivemind generally, so we'll refer to ourselves as such. Fungi is an infinitely interesting subject, especially how similar it is to the human brain. I love fungi.

[mithliya]

this ask isn't attacking you personally or anything, i just think i need to get something off my chest. but seeing those posts about the anon that sent u about the lesbian mom losing custody rights to the sperm donor baby and her bi ex-wife... as well as all the lesbians talking about how evil all bi women are... and then seeing how most bi women both would rather be with men over another bi woman like myself + lesbians would rather be with another lesbian than bis... tbh, i give up. i am never going to find a gf or a wife at this rate. i feel like other bi women who act anti-ssa in general makes it so much harder for bi women like myself who wishes she could spend her life with another woman, because other women are rightfully wary about my orientation and the history that comes with it. it also makes me internalize the message that my love for a woman can never delve to a deeper level after a while, because my nature simply wouldn't allow it. so, in respect for all women, i'm just going to behave myself and stick with the men. even if i loathe damn near all of them because of their misogyny. i wouldn't mind making love with women (might just be the only time ever where i can embrace her and pretend we are together) but i'll let her go after so she can experience true love elsewhere. it's for the best. (this post isn't faulting anyone else btw just so we're clear!)

anon, respectfully, calm down. most bisexual women chose that they have no preference, a lot of lesbians chose the same, and the lesbians strongly against bi women are just a small group ultimately. the lesbians that prefer other lesbians are also in my experience a small group bc most lesbians i know have dated bi women primarily, or even exclusively. you can literally just date a woman. it’s always going to be harder to date other women than it is to date men and using tumblr as a basis for how it’s nearly impossible for u is just.. not rational lol. there’s no basis to believe your “love for a woman can never delve to a deeper level after a while” or almost any of what u said.

truly, take a deep breath, calm down, & go date women. don’t look for excuses to take an easy route u don’t want to take, ur seeing all the bi women on here that decided to be exclusive to women… it’s possible.

[tiny-katara]

This is going to be long so bear with me and I apologize in advance for being (sort of) involved in this. But I need to be honest with you here because I'm really uncormfortable with some people in this fandom.

I'm a Kataang fan. I'm friends with a lot of Kataang fans. Some of them can get very awful at times. There is a small discord which I won't name becuase they will figure out who I am. This is not the first time but they have been sending inflammatory anons to Zutara shippers (they linked your earlier post to laugh at so I am sending you this). They said they find it "funny" that "Zutara shippers will tear each other apart over nothing" but I really don't find it funny because they are using some seriously dark topics like r*pe and suicide to fuel this. They're also spreading some pretty weird rumors about people they say are your "circle" too. I have some pretty strong opinions on ships don't get me wrong but at the end of the day fandom is supposed to be fun and these people are ruining it just because they don't like a ship? WHen ours is canon? I lost it when they were talking about how a Zutara shipper who deleted her blog and suddenly disappeared likely committed suicide like it was a good thing? Why say something so terrible over some stupid cartoon ships? These are mostly adult men and they have nothing better to do.

I;m sorry. I really am. I discourse about ships yes but taking it into real life and intentionally messing with people's emotions is so far off the mark. I felt obligated to say something since I don't think anyone else will and they will probably continue doing this since they said it's "working"

(hint: I bet you will get much less hate anons if you look up "anti zutara" posts on the atla-fandom-confessions blog and block the kataang shippers in the notes but you didn't hear that from me)

anon if kata/ang makes happy then i am happy for you and let me just say that you are not responsible for the actions of other shippers. as long as you are engaging respectfully and not digging around anti blogs to start up trouble, i welcome you to enjoy kata/ang and anything else that you might love. that's totally fine.

thank you so much for your genuine concern and helpful advice. i really do appreciate it. r*pe and suicide are never to be taken lightly and its disgusting that anyone would try to use this to attack a ship or a fandom, you are completely correct on that subject. (btw as far as i am aware, that zk shipper is okay if you were worried.)

again, thank you so much, anon. i truly wish you well and appreciate the risk you took in sending this. it is not an easy thing to do but you are so lovely for this (although you shouldn't have had to send this in the first place). i wish you the utmost joy in your shipping despite our differences and apologize for taking so long to respond lol. thank you so so so much 💙

(ps i also hope you find can better kata/ang friends!!! quite frankly its what you deserve and you're too good for them <3)

[no-more-rqs]

at one point there was an account that was for anti-radqueers and radqueers to talk respectfully but it got deleted or terminated or something? and the account was barely active and i sent like 3 asks that never got posted even though i sent them at least a couple weeks before the account was gone </3

also i think a very big problem that the anti-radqueer community has is like. "oh this is weird so its bad and harmful" which is just. wrong. like instead of actually having conversations about why things are wrong people will just go "that flag is ugly kys lol" or "transhaircolor?? thats not a thing youre stupid". the fact that ugly flags exist (which i do agree, there are plenty of flags that have a lot of eyestrain or clashing colors, but literally why do people bring that up first??) is not even close to the problem and people are just saying that because its a lot easier to go "erm youre stupid" and get a bunch of laughs and reblogs than it is to actually have conversations

someone being transhaircolor or transeyecolor or transfreckles or transgoth is not harmful, even if people might consider it "weird" to have a label for it. someones desired hair color or eye color or whatever might be very important to them and they might want a label for it, or maybe they just like having a bunch of pretty flags to look at! these labels arent any more harmful than hyperspecific xenogenders or other microlabels

you could make the argument that using the "trans" prefix is bad because its comparing all these experiences to being transgender. i used to believe that heavily until i realized that like... actually why does that matter. the trans experience is extremely vast and there are tons of people who are trans where their trans identity is a very small part of who they are. making it seem like being transgender is some Very Important Special Thing is just transmed rhetoric

and also, in the case of anti-radqueers, this rhetoric never gets applied to things like transspecies or transsexual? you could make the case that those are "more important" or "more similar to the transgender experience" than something like transheight or transpersonality but 1 who are you to determine how important something is to someone 2 its like less than a hundred people using these terms calm down and 3 the trans experience isnt a monolith and honestly i relate more to someone whos transbluehair transyelloweyes transfreckles transcatears than i do to someone who yells at people online that their transgender identity is special and unique and morally better than non-harmful transids

literally the only complaint i have with non-harmful transids is that its all the exact same prefix and style of word and it just gets boring and potentially confusing

a lot of people on the internet have the mindset of "im right, everyone besides me and the people who agree with me are all wrong, and anyone who tells me otherwise is stupid". in fact i would say the majority of people have that mindset. and it leads to "discourse" (basically just people yelling their opinions back and forth without listening to the other person) which solves nothing and just makes things worse. most people go into arguments wanting to prove the other person wrong, not wanting to actually have a genuine conversation. that probably wont change anytime soon but i will still try

as for my own experience in being super pro-radqueer:

the reason i identified as "transblack" was because my skin is fairly dark and i felt like that meant i wasnt really mexican. i told this to my radqueer friends and, instead of telling me that i was still my actual race, they told me that me feeling like i wasnt mexican was race dysphoria and encouraged me to find another race that fit me better. someone told me that i should identify as transblack because my skin is already dark and then people would "get my race correct". i think i specifically ended up identifying as mexican and black? im pretty sure i identified as a term that meant i was like. 100% mexican and 100% black at the same time because honestly i just wanted to be mexican but i thought i had to identify as transrace or i would be lying to myself

i identified as "transnazi" because of my intrusive thoughts. i have a lot of intrusive thoughts about being a horrible person. radqueers constantly bring up "people with intrusive thoughts identify as transharmful" and that made me think it was something thatd be helpful. i identified as a transnazi partially to try and make myself feel better, and partially just to fit in with everyone else identifying as transharmful so people would think i was cool and edgy. it did nothing to help because, guess what, accepting your intrusive thoughts as fact makes them way fucking worse.

i identified as transorientation because im aromantic (cupioromantic specifically) and i felt like i was lying to myself and hurting the people im dating by being aro. i expressed my feelings about not feeling like i should be aromantic. once again, instead of telling me that i dont need to feel romantic attraction to love and care about people, i just got told i must be transalloromantic. i was given tips on how to "transition" and told how to make subliminals to make me alloromantic, and i immediately started trying to force myself to feel romantic attraction. it didnt work and, after i left the community, i eventually accepted myself for being aro and im now very thankful that my "transitioning" didnt work.

so, yeah, adding onto the toxic positivity, a lot of transid people (with transids centered around race and disability and orientation especially) are sometimes not identifying as that because of atypical dysphoria, but because they want to be more accepted by others or have their lives be easier. obviously not all of them are doing that, but its definitely a problem with how the community never wants to invalidate peoples transids and only encourages them to transition even if its clear that the person is only doing that because they hate their own race or hate being disabled or for other similar reasons

rare radqueer opinion

(taps mic) i believe in atypical dysphoria (boos from one side) (taps mic again) i believe that the current state of transids/transx can be harmful to some of the communities which the individuals id-ing as transx are from, and in some cases can also harm cisid individuals in question, accidentally or purposefully (confusion from everyone) (taps mic a third time) i think we should have respectful discussion on how these communities can be more accepting and respectful towards "cisids" without devaluing the experiences of those who experience "transids" (and develop clearer boundaries regarding more harmful transids) i think that would be nice :D [gen posi]

The Exaggeration of Problematic Ships

WARNING: Mention of Abuse, Death Threats

Hello! In this post, I will explain my point of view on this whole thing about “problematic ships”.

The reason why I decided to discuss about this kind of subject is because I’m completely tired of seeing people throwing hate and bullying other people over something so harmless.

By the way, excuse me if there will be any grammar mistakes.

First of all, I will explain what “problematic ship”, “pro ship” and what “anti” means

“Problematic ship” means a ship between two or more fictional characters, regardless if they’re abusive, age-gapped, blood-related, or just considered wrong in general. (examples of proships: Sebastian x Ciel, Hisoka x Gon, Endeavor x Todoroki, Bakugo x Deku, Illumi x Killua, etc)

“Pro ship” means to believe it’s completely fine for people to ship whatever they want, even if it’s a problematic ship.

“Anti" means to be against pro shippers.

Now, I will explain why being a pro shipper is completely normal and deserve respect just like all of us.

Never compare fiction with reality. It’s dumb and makes no sense when you compare these two different things in a case like this.

A problematic ship would be bad in real life because it does harm someone. Though, in fiction, nobody gets hurt.

We can do whatever the hell we want in fictional world and no one can tell us what to do, and that’s the beauty of it. We can do whatever we want without caring about anyone else. Telling someone to stop fantasizing about something just because you find it wrong is pointless and dumb

Fiction doesn’t affect reality. At least, not in the way to be considered as dangerous. It’s silly to blame a video game for a person’s actions, the game has no fault. An adult is completely aware of what they are doing, so they should know that any action they take has consequences they must consider. If it’s a child or a minor, then it’s the parents’ fault for not checking up on them and not taking enough care of them.

I understand that it may trigger you and may be a sensitive topic, but it’s not our problem. I don’t want to sound rude, but it’s honestly not our problem. We can create, post, and discuss about whatever we want as long as it’s not harming anyone directly. If it makes you uncomfortable, just block us. It is not up to us to create content that you find enjoyable or at least decent. It’s our posts, our accounts, our lives. We don’t hurt you on purpose.

Don’t say “but it teaches children to behave badly because they saw in a fanfiction it’s okay to be abusive or be fondled by adults!” just no. As I said, the parents should be more responsible with their children and check up on them whenever possible (not as in “spying your child every time you’ve got the opportunity” but you get my point). Also, if you really need to believe that everything displayed in fanfictions is normal/healthy, then you should get proper education.

I am myself a pro shipper, and while I’m not that hardcore of a fan, I still had previous experiences with angry and frustrated antis.

I know it will make me seem like I’m complaining or anything, but this will be an easier way I can guarantee you that people like these exist, since it was in my own experience.

I once wrote a fanfiction that implied pro shipping. I did put warnings in the description and before the story began, but I see that it was useless because people prefer to get triggered and shocked than read the description and pay attention to the warning so they can insult the living shit out of me later on. The next day, I woke up with 20+ hate comments and death threats in the comments.

All of them were horrible, it made me feel like shit and made me wonder why people are like that. Luckily, after a hour or two, I calmed down and realized that I shouldn’t stress on people like these so much. I should take this bad experience and make it something good to teach other people, something that I can give to other people so they can learn from my experience. I was stronger than before. (as cringe as it sounds lol)

At that moment, I realized that people like that barely even care about the real “issue” here. They only see it as a chance to bully someone without looking bad in front of other people. They are so sucked up in their own mind that they think what they’re doing is right.

People like that are the worst. Their morality is corrupted.

Because, their morals is like: it’s not okay to write things like that, but it’s okay to send death threats and bully them”

Don’t get me wrong, it’s completely fine to dislike a ship! I dislike some ships too, but that doesn’t give me the right to go and jump on them like a wild animal.

Not all antis are mean, but most of them are like that. It’s okay to not like something, but don’t make a mess out of it.

Now here are a few examples of frustrated and crazy antis.

Hell, they are so annoying when they put heart emojis at the end of their comment so they can make themselves look quirky and cool. Disgusting, that’s all I have to say about this kind of people.

If you really believe someone is doing something wrong, approach them in a gentle manner and talk respectfully towards them.

I’m sorry if I sounded rude in this post, and remember that you should look in other perspectives too, not in only yours. Even if someone does something wrong (but pro shipping is not the case), then explain to them what they’re doing wrong, not fuck them up.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

If you have any questions, just comment on this post or message me privately.

(Yes, I edited this post because I have mistaken the difference between “problematic ship” and “pro ship” and fixed a few typos. Don’t worry, my points in this post are still the same and I fully mean them.”

[nny11writes]

12, 14, shera. 13 entrapta (because this would be funny to see). 13 catra also. 15 shera. 15 star wars. listen. just tell me your unpopular opinions on everything please

For the salty fandom ask game, which tumblr is not letting me link to but oh well I guess??? SHE RA

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

This is a hard one because the fandom at large likes every arc, it just evens out across the encampments of shippers lol. I feel like the most unpopular arc is probably Glimmer's descent in season 4 which I enjoyed a lot because, I mean, c'mon, getting to see Glimmer not fight with herself and instead just selfishly choose things was fantastic. She really just started doing what she wanted without actually considering anyone else or any other options, and it was so fascinating to watch her go for it after several seasons of this side of her being hinted at.

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

We can WAAAAAY too much about shipping and want to make it everyone's problem.

"That isn't canon!" "I don't think there was enough subtext!" Blah blah blah, and?????? Shut the fuck up my dude.

Stop tagging your anti-whatever shit with shipping tags, block that tag on your side and move along. I don't care why you think C/A is abusive, I don't care why you think A/G is abusive, seriously shut up or keep it in your corner of the fandom.

I've been in fandoms that break down into smaller fandoms (star wars is by era ususally, zelda is by game, etc) and every fandom I've been in has done a good job of keeping their negative opinions contained to spaces where it's others who share it. She Ra is the first fandom I've been in, and I've been doing this 20 years now, where people really couldn't live and let live because they like this ship and if you don't then you're an awful abusive asshole to fit their narrative of victimhood.

I'm sick of that shit. To death.

You want to know what one of my favorite rarepair crackships is? Catra/Bow. But if I dared to explore it at all, in any fashion, I'd be murdered. The only fic I've ever taken down due to harassment after posting what an explicit Catra/Bow/Glimmer fic where they, as two consenting adults in a poly relationship, agreed to have sex with one another in large part to turn on their girlfriend Glimmer for her birthday. TERFs found that and gave me hell.

Like, you could probably find some of the really awful and explicit shit I posted when I was 13 and had no fucking business writing explicit fic or posting it, but now I'm locked out of my old accounts and can't actually remove them. But no, let's go wild over the C/B/G fic instead!

Ooooooo, you can probably tell that this pisses me off just because I keep rambling on, but god I'm tired. I'm a multi-shipper, ship what you want to, tag it appropriately and post in appropriate spaces kind of person. Don't like, don't read, and fuck off with your purity bullshit.

...This is pervasive enough that I'm actually fully expecting some people will unfollow me for that answer lol.

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character? (Entrapta and Catra)

I feel like I don't have any unpopular opinions about Entrapta over all? Probably the most controversial thing is that I like that the Princess Alliance was shown mistreating her by leashing her. It's very much portrayed for laughs, but whether they meant to or not think it helped set up another difference between the alliance and the horde. Yeah, at first she's chained up in the Horde as a prisoner and we see how long that lasted, but she is literally given more trust and freedom with the horde. Where's Entrapta? Who knows! As long as she shows up again at some point we don't care. Is she distracted by tech again? Annoying, but alright she IS the tech person. Then Entrapta goes back to the alliance and once again they are just trying to control parts of her because they don't understand. IDK, I like the contrast of it, so even though it wasn't put in respectfully it gets a weird pass from me.

Unpopular but not in the circles I run? Catra did more than enough for a "redemption" on the show. It is amazing how many people hate that take.

Unpopular within the circles I run? Not sure this counts or not, but Catra really is a lot like Shadow Weaver/Light Spinner, and I don't think we lean into that nearly enough (either in the show or fandom tbh). Light Spinner especially really reminds me of Catra in early seasons, and seeing S5 Catra by the end is like seeing what Light Spinner could've been under different circumstances. But Catra is also a lot like Shadow Weaver, she is not wrong or lying when she says she sees herself in Catra. I think we spend too much time trying to justify why Catra is nothing like her, when they are really very similar. And I think that's a big disservice to the narrative of abuse in the show. No one wakes up one day saying, "Well gee golly, today I think I'm going to start being an abuser!" They slide into it and eventually start making justifications to themself for why it's okay/they're allowed/whatever to do what they do. Catra could've been the next Shadow Weaver easily, pretending otherwise lessens the impact of her choices to try and change her own behaviors and thoughts.

15. Unpopular opinion about the manga/show?

The best friend squad is boring. Sorry y'all, S1 and S2 of the BFS are really not that interesting to me. It feels super basic, and the conflict has to be shoved onto them from other sources to have their dynamic work. I think there should've been more infighting and especially with Glimmer jealousy issues. Like, you don't have to go wild with it or anything, but they only start to become interesting to me in S3 when Shadow Weaver starts fucking shit up in the background.

They are cute and fun and I enjoyed their stuff! They just! Are also! Really boring!

(I used to actively filter out any fic that was too focused on the BFS, Glimmer, or Bow. At times I even blocked Adora because I live for the personal conflict drama and that was only even explored with Catra during S1-2)

STAR WARS

15.Unpopular opinion about the manga/show?

I like that TCW never really talks about the way the clones are treated. TCW is mostly set from the perspective of the Jedi Order in some way, and I wish there had actually been more jokes made in show about it to be honest. The way clones are treated is horrifying, objectifying, and disgusting. I wish we could've seen more of how awful they were treated side by side with how no one seems to care.

Yes, the Jedi care about the clones, but they are so busy trying to survive themselves that there's nothing left in the tank to try and help them out in a meaningful way. Some members of the Senate care about the clones, but they are either focused on other peoples lives or are too afraid of losing their army to do anything. I love that. I love how fucked up that is, and I love that there are so many times in TCW that something horrible happens to a clone but then gets overshadowed by something else.

The citadel, of course comes to mind. I really love that there were troopers who died horrifying deaths during that rescue, who's bodies are left behind, who are quickly mourned through a wince and then abandoned. Then a Jedi dies and "Well hang on now, we gotta carry his body and give him a proper farewell!".

It's messed up, and I love it.

[blurglesmurfklaine]

i'm not gonna get mad or unfollow you for shipping cc (you do you ig) but i feel like people who ship real people need to acknowledge the side of their fandom that takes things too far. above all else, remember that these are real people, with real life. it's rude to shove this made up version of people into their faces. important to maintain boundaries

first of all thank you for maintaining diplomacy here, not everyone in my inbox always does, but I do think I need to clarify something if I haven’t already:

When I say I “ship crisscolfer” I guess what I really mean by that is that I think they dated at one point during the filming of glee, but aren’t together anymore. Would I like for them to be? Yeah I think that would be awesome lol I love both of them and they’re some of my favorite role models/celebrities.

Second, “need to acknowledge the side of the fandom that takes things too far.” If this is about the side of fandom that believes Darren and Chris are still secretly together, then okay; I’m acknowledging them. With all due respect, what does that have to do with me? I understand what you were going for, but at the end of the day, I am not responsible for anyone’s actions except my own, and one group of fandom is not responsible for another’s. There are people like you, who respectfully disagree with me, and I think you shouldn’t be held accountable for the actions of the anti-ccers who have come into my and my friends’ inboxes over the last few years to tell us to “grow the fuck up” or “kill ourselves already”.

I think asks like that definitely constitute as “taking things too far”.

Still, it’s not your problem, nor would I be right to judge you off of them, because you’re not the one who sent them to me.

I can totally see why you’d think it’s rude to shove made up versions of people into their faces, and I totally agree! The fact of the matter is, you won’t find any cc content unless you go looking for it, and I guarantee neither Darren nor Chris are looking for it. Darren’s even admitted to reading Klaine Fic (I’m pretty sure it was LN absolute GOD TEIR but unconfirmed), and he had to actively search for it.

But in my experience, most crisscolfer shippers I know (even the ones who you say take it too far, which I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that but bygones ya know?) keep this shit far, far away from both Darren and Chris. If you wanted to find crisscolfer fanart/fanfiction, you would have to Google it, and maybe, maybe you’d stumble across a blog like mine???

But I promise you neither of them have ever seen a single post from my blog, nor have they looked at the majority of the fandoms’ pages on a dying social media platform. Nothing is being shoved in their face, if you ask me.

If it’s on the principle of it all, then to each their own but I believe that’s where the difference lies. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong or evil about rpf/rps but you do you ig

But thank you for mentioning that they are real people with real lives, because that was sort of the entire point of my post. So are we. And it kind of hurts to see yourself dehumanized and villainized by others because you disagree with them.

Thanks for the ask, and again, thanks for being so civilized, I really appreciate it! And I hope none of this came off as an attack or anything, because that’s not what I was going for at all, just thought to put my point of view out there!
