[noes-pillow]

Does anyone else get a sick sense of satisfaction from people getting tricked into the vnc fandom bc they believe the story is complete since Jun essentially already told us the ending through Noé even though we don't actually have the full ending yet... no? Just me?

[rosamariaa]

I've been thinking a lot about a remus/sirius Ministry of Magic office AU..

Often I see ppl talking about what would Sirius work with if there wasn't a war going on and he could just live his life in peace and one of my favorite headcanons is that he would be an 'Unspeakable'. Those are the ppl that work in the department of mysteries, that by itself is one of coolest things in the wizarding world, according to me. The department of mysteries is responsible for confidential studies of death, love, time etc (A lot of crazy things that honestly no one should have to mess with but obvs they do anyways...) It's high-level security place, no one besides the researchers are allowed in those chambers. No one even knows who are those researchers and what they do, actually.

Buut, its sirius we are talking about and the guy is a genius but also can be pretty reckless and, in this specific scenario, I think he would be a borderline "crazy scientist" so. He fucks up down the line. I don't know what he does, exactly, but it's something that put his and others researchers' lives at risk. Bc of that, he is sent to work in a waaay more mundane department: Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. It's a cool department!! Remember that first poa scene where harry turns aunt marge into a balloon etc? well those are the guys who they call to fix that. They even have a Obliviators division, responsible for changing Muggles' memory in case they are exposed to accidental magic. Those guys are full of themselves and annoying as hell, btw.

and I see Sirius being sent there, after The Accident. It's cool in theory, but most of the time it's puuuure paperwork and it bores sirius to no end.

well, guess who works there as well. Our guy, Remus j. lupin.

Remus isn't one to do field work so he mostly works in the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee division (god I love those long ass names). Basically he comes up with stuff to excuse magic happening in the muggle world etc. like when peter killed a bunch of muggles and the muggle paper said it was a "big gas explosion". Pure paperwork. Boring as hell.

Anyway, Sirius turns up there out of nowhere and he is the office sweetheart. It fucking boggles remus mind, like. Sirius always goes to the office parties and seems to be friends with everyone but no one knows anything about this guy. He just gets there, a almost 30 yo with a bunch of obscure work experience and no one knows what he did before that, who his family is, where he is from and how the hell does he knows the stuff that he knows.

Sirius is great at field work, he mostly works directly in the Obliviators division and remus is really great with the paperwork stuff sooo they get paired up a lot. At first, they are a bit annoyed by each other (my fav wolfstar flavor). It's funny because they actually agree with almost everything but they just approach things veeery differently and so they are bickering all the damn time. And Sirius is a Certified Little Shit™ and is constantly doing things that drives remus a bit crazy. Once they had a case of a water fountain exploding bc two wizards were fighting in a public park and instead of obliviating the muggles into believing it was only a piping problem or whatever, he went out of his way to turn it into a sort of elaborate flash mob that went viral on tiktok. Remus spent the night awake documenting everything. He wanted to strangle sirius that day.

between late nights working and lots of crazy field work (thanks to sirius) those two end up getting closer and closer. Remus still thinks Sirius is a bit insane, but now in a I-want-you-to-fuck-me-into-this-desk type way. Sirius, on the other hand, doesn't let go of his previous research. I think that back then he would, specifically, study and experiment a lot with Love, in special familial love (yep.) The thing about those confidential dept. of mysteries' experiments is that they can be pretty... unethical. And that's the break point of their story: Remus finding out about Sirius research and finally wondering at what lengths did sirius went to understand something as complicated as Love and what the fuck he did to get banished from the department back then, and worse: if he ever used remus in those experiments. and even more worse: The fact that remus doesn't stop loving him even if he did.

A last fun fact is that they, at one point, would have an inside joke about that "MIB: man in black" movie, they watched it together one late night and sirius kept referencing it when he went to obliviate muggles and remus thought it was the funniest silliest thing ever

Music Rambles 🎶

Since Epic the musical is over now (sadly 😞), I wanted to go and venture out and listen to the VA's separate songs. For multiple reasons, Tiktok is getting banned, and I mostly find most if not all my music there, so I'm finding other little artists and figured why not start with Epic the Musical creators? They sound great! The other being because I keep hearing snippets from their own songs, which sound AMAZING, BTW!

I started out with TROY (VA of Hermes) first since I see most of his snippets on multiple apps I use. And let me tell you... THAT MF NEEDS A GRAMMY AT HIS HOUSE STAT. HIS SONGS ARE SO GREAT ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. I LOVE HIS SONG GEMINI. I LISTENED TO THAT AND THAT SHIT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR THE REST OF MY DAY. MF I WAS SINGING THAT SHIT, HUMMING IT WHILE I WALKED AND FOUGHT FOR MY LIFE TO GET UP N START DANCING. SINGING MY HEART OUT BUT I COULDNT. LEO & LIBRA ARE ALSO GREAT SONGS DAWG. HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS GOOD AT SINGING. IM SO BLESSED TO HEAR THIS MF SING 🙏

The other amazing artist was Steven Rodriguez (VA of Poseidon). I have heard bits and pieces of his songs and was first hesitant to listen to them because of what he sings about 🥲 (I'm not scared to listen to songs with inappropriate topics btw I listen to them all the time. It's just where I was listening to his songs and the constant fear of ppl being able to listen to what I'm listening 🧍‍♂️) And mf Like you mean it is a fucking BOP. HIS VOICE IS SPECTACULAR THE RASPINESS IS PERFECTION

FUCK ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT, MAKE ME BELIEVE IT >♡<

GREAT LINE. I ALMOST STARTED SPAZZING THERE

SHE KNOWS IT, TOO. JUST AGHHH.

BOTH OF THE ARTISTS I MENTIONED HERE ARE SO GREAT. SONGS ARE BOPS. VOICE IS TEA. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. MWAH. CHEFS KISS 😘

I'll probably listen to Aryon Alexander (sorry if i spelled that wrong 😞) next. Loved his voice for Hold them Down ESPECIALLY THE END PART "HOLD THEM DOOOOWWNNNNN" 😩

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

i remember you making a post of best dressed man and you had included GD in it saying how could the thread be completed without him something like that and i was like gd? Because i haven't really seen the guy from back in the yrs, wtv i have seen is wtv clips ppl post on twitter and IF i come across it (kind of rare cause my circle mostly revolves around jm). I'm not particularly interested in k-pop or idols so i don't really try to deep dive there, very satisfied with having obsession with jimin only so what i was saying is that some time ago i saw someone making a thread on twitter about GD's photoshoots and t had great engagement with over 100k+ likes and damnn the thread reminded me why you included him in your that post of best dressed man.

Okay personally i won't say if he's good dressed or not because I'm again not much into that stuff BUT the experiments he did with his photoshoots were crazy like i haven't seen anyone do even 10% of what he did with those photoshoots. There was this one particular shoot of him with a woman and again damnn honestly. He was doing all that those many years ago. I get the hype he'd have around him and i know he's like one of the most popular from his times and most popular from his grp.

If BTS members ever do even ONE of his photoshoots from that thread ig the fandom would be GAGGING and idk they'd make the member some queer icon (They might have made taehyung one because of him posting gay movies and all that). Honestly? Hands down the craziest photoshoots i have seen and all of them actually. The clothes and all were very different experimenting and idk it could be big for me because I'm not much into all these stuff so haven't really checked many but yeah like seeing BTS's shoots and even other groups on my tl like none of them are doing it like the old generation ig.

Also wondering that if GD has done like that with a female why are these Kpopies be gagging and even shipping with even two idols (for this particular situation I'd say "idols of opp gender") ?? Should these things be not Regular and Normal? Or is it because it's rare to have these interactions in last 2-3 generations hence this state? I have seen few clips of old generation male/female idols having fun during shows n all unlike recent ones where ppl are just sitting there in the fear that someone might ship you with xyz idol there if you even smile lol. I'd never forget that one time i went ahead and watched a lizkook video on yt because i kept getting it recommended to me so i thought that if i watch it once I'll stop getting recommended again n again plus i was new in the fandom (tho i kinda knew how 'shipping' in geneal works in those edits, wasn't aware of the crazies of kpop shiping tho), i kid u not the whole video i was waiting for that one interaction because of which the video was made or because of which ppl are shipping. The whoe video ended and i was feeling dumb to even sit there n watch that whole 10 some mins video because i didn't know that u can ship ppl just because. it was edited from the 2018 MAMA the same one from where we have a infamous jkk moment. It's crazy how lizkook being one of the biggest shit yet they don't have a single on cam interaction. They might be besties off cam but there's literally nothing on cam yet it's one of the biggest ship of k-pop lol.

Why i brought the shipping in btw the photoshoot was because i can't grasp if any of the idol Today did that kind of shoot how everyone will react(or anyone has done it and I'm just under a rock?). Especially BTS members, the whole Tiktok, instgram armys plus half of twitter would be on the edge of cliffer the very next moment.

Sorry for talking about two different topics in one ask and make it long but i kida those were interconnected for this conversation tho my og intention was to talk about GD's photoshoot but another thought popped up in my mind.

I have a great article for you which will shed some light on G-Dragon and its impact. I referenced it in my analysis of Jimin's portfolio, but it's worth reading it in entirety.

It tackles the concept of masculinity and its various shapes in different GD works, including his photoshoots and what was achieved through that. If I remember correctly, the thesis was that as much as GD was pushing boundaries, he always kept things in balance through specific acts that ultimately helped him stay in a safe zone as well. Basically his act worked for everyone.

It's called "The deployment of gender for masculine balance: analyzing multi-platform K-Pop performances", by Minjeong Kim and April Lopez. You should be able to find it easily.

This is the abstract

adding on to the last post (not the same anon) Yea its kinda sad they end up hatjng themselves and their ppl. btw Has anyone sent letters to dylann? is it possible to?

Oh man, I don't think I've ever been asked about anything more than about writing letters to Dylann. I may make a longer post about this just to redirect anyone who asks, but for now:

Yes you can send Dylann letters, but he very rarely responds and I believe the last known letter he sent was in 2020

People used to fake letters from Dylann, and it seems that recently there are certain people (tcc tiktok being the main culprit, of course) who try to say that he likes receiving fan mail and responds to people all the time, which is not true. If someone posts a letter from Dylann on tiktok, you probably shouldn't believe them.

The infamous letter where he angrily rants about his fangirls is fake

I've seen people advise against writing letters to him and other mass shooters with ideological motives because it can get you put on a watch list, but I'm not sure how true this is

[take this with a grain of salt because I can no longer find the source of this, although I believe it was in an article from a mostly reliable source] he was at one point told that he shouldn't respond to letters because what he writes can be used against him legally, but was then told by someone else that it didn't matter because any letters relating to white nationalism would be allowed through

TL;DR: Yes you can write to Dylann, but don't get your hopes up because you most likely won't get a response

[thefudge]

I don't know if it's just me but if ship isn't problematic/toxic I find it boring

hah! that's a slippery slope! but i feel you. i think a larger observation we could make here is that really compelling dynamics that are real and human will always have problematic aspects. not that all couples have abusive dynamics or whatever, but rather that we as people are extremely fallible and we are even more so when we are in love and sharing ourselves with others. like, we are at our most noble and wretched with someone we love. so maybe what we find boring is being presented with relationships that gloss over these aspects. a well-written ship, no matter how "wholesome", will always have that interesting edge, imo.

that being said! i do wonder if ao3 + tiktok (but mostly tiktok and maybe wattpad) have served ppl a recipe of shallow "spiciness" where younger folks, especially, navigate towards seemingly "darker" ships just for the toxicity, instead of toxicity + substance. then again, this would've been people's complaints about the gothic genre back in the 19th century. "oh no, ppl will read too many penny dreadfuls and start murdering their neighbors in the street" etc. so it can become a silly moral panic, especially with regards to what women are reading. we all know how that goes.

buuuut i think there is cause for *some* concern about people's general tastes, not in terms of morality, but in terms of what they're consuming for themselves and their well-being. cuz i know what you mean and i have seen a shift in my own tastes over the years. like yes, we deserve to have fun with that trashy book, but i don't want us to only read easy things that will scratch a certain itch. because a lot of mainstream toxic/problematic stuff is written in a flat, trivial way and i want us to search for and be willing to read things that really challenge us. not just booktok's "dark romance" of the week (which is usually quite boring actually). i'm in a position where i do read a lot of different things constantly due to my job and my interests, but i have noticed a lack of patience in myself lately when it comes to certain stories and it gave me pause. btw, i'm not referring to you or your reading habits in particular, just thinking some general thoughts. ultimately, it's totally fine and we can enjoy as much problematic content as we want, as long as we don't forget the human element, as long as we don't settle just for the surface of things. because that's when we cheapen it, i think. idk, but i do think we have a responsibility to ourselves to always seek beautiful things (and by that i mean quality literature and quality trash lol). yes, we turn our brains off from time to time, we absolutely need to, but we need to come back to the things that make us think and feel to the utmost.

anyway, sorry for this very weird rant, this has been on my mind too!

[deathtastegirl]

i love u millennials but i really hate how millennials just gave their kids unrestricted access to the entire internet just bcuz they did as kids also. im a teenager with elder millennial parents and they let me see everything at the ripe age of 5. the ipad baby phenomenon was started by them in the mid 2010s bcuz they honestly had no clue what to do with their kid which i understand but u dont just? give a kid a phone the second they start talking? there's a reason why cybersecurity for minors has gone so much bigger and its bcuz these ppl keep giving their 6 year olds ipads and doing nothing with them. i remember going to my friends house and her little sister got a chromebook for christmas. shes 6. the entire time we were there she was just scrolling on youtube shorts. btw can we talk about youtube shorts? make fun of gen alpha brain rot all yall want but that stuffs genuinely serious. brainrot at 5 isnt okay! i had 5 year old brainrot and that isn't okay! and i know that its not only millennials but have you SEEN how many of them post on tiktok saying 'my 7 year old is addicted to their phone they never wanna go outside😫😫😫' ....and whos fault is that? YEAH BITCH!!!! YOURS!!!! do me a favor and dont let ur kids on the internet until they're around 13 or so. its much more serious than a simple 'dont let ur kids on tiktok ehehehhe'

tl:dr; im tired of ppl (millennials mostly) giving their child unrestricted internet access just bcuz they did also.

[notyouraryang0dd3ss]

hi, indian ex-swiftie here! (you can use the ⏳️ to refer to me if you're still doing that) and about the desi obsession with taylor swift, I think is not completely due to her white skin. Like ofc, if taylor had been a poc things would be different, but then, her entire career would be different so yea

But it think it's similar to the white skin theory and that is the obsession with western trends. Like everytime something is going on in usa (mostly) it becomes a new shiny trend for us to adopt, and that's cuz it's somehow better (?) because the US did it, especially with gen z onwards (im a gen z btw). Like this whole desi obsession wasn't that prevalent until the US suddenly started being more obsessed with taylot since midnights. Even tiktok concepts such as "girlhood" or "girl's girl" (which is again related to some white person bs) is equally common here (we don't even have tiktok like-) and I've seen indian swifties use these things to justify their obsession or slander ppl for hating on taylor swift, just the way US swifties do. It is still an effect of colonization except instead of idolizing white skin (which if you do now, ppl would go against you- if you're a gen z or something atleast) it's saying "omg desi girlies 🎀👩🏾‍🦱" and simultaneously worshipping anything that emerges from the US (which is mostly some white trend, cuz those get the most internationally popular) which includes taylor. It's less liking taylor cuz she's white, and more liking taylor cuz she's white person approved (because then we can be more like white ppl or some bs)

Atleast that's my observation 🤷‍♀️

this is so interesting.

so the obsession with whiteness is a symptom of the obsession with the united states and the west. and the west is represented by whiteness because as you said, white trends get the most popular internationally.

so copying popular culture from the u.s. is a form of social clout in india i see i see. and it is still worshipping whiteness because whiteness extends beyond someone’s skin pigment but is a social category. so unfortunately (and confirmed by other desi anons) the worship of taylor swift is a worship of whiteness because the u.s./west is white.

do black/brown american artists who are “approved” by white people trend the same way taylor swift does? or is it only the white celebs “approved” by white people?

[edmarienism]

i feel like this fandom and particularly a certain group of omar stans need to realize that all artists have projects where shit just... flops. even aaron taylor johansson who's having a really crazy year btw!, has some projects that are currently flopping and getting bad reviews. that recent bill skarsgard project flopped BAD! and these are white men, very hell known talented actors in the industry. now these are actors but the same is true for artists. many people did not vibe with taylor's latest album and if it wasn't for her era's tour and all the nostalgia and hysterics surrounding it, it'd probably be perceived worse. (and that's TAYLOR!!!) that benson boone guy is rolling on the success of just One of his songs that went viral. even zara larsson is mostly still relevant bc of her past hits and just her general funny personality. camilla cabello goes to events and still sings havana oh na na lmao. all of these artists literally have one or two things ppl love them for and the general public doesn't care about the rest. for omar that happens to be yr. it's not racism or homophobia or people not deserving him. it's how the industry works.

some people are simply interested in watching movies and others are more interested in listening to new music. no matter what, stanning someone needs to happen ORGANICALLY. u cannot force anyone to become obsessed with something.

it makes me quite angry to see omrtwt trying to act like they're... distancing themselves from yrtwt... (as if that wasn't literally the same thing)... and acting like yr and yr fans are omar's enemy. omar himself literally said yr was the best thing to happen to him. yr is the literal reason for why he gets to focus on his music now and do what he loves and slowly try to build a proper music career. yr is NOT his enemy. yr fans are NOT his enemies. his fans just keep being so unbelievably delusional...

(and also. the funny thing is that omar is not even flopping at all?! he's being able to comfortably go on a big tour next year and has a dedicated fan audience and is able to go to lots of events and do lots of things. i'd say he's quite successful especially considering this is his first year properly focusing on music! random ass videos on tiktok or youtube not getting "enough" views matters sooo little...)

[golbrocklovely]

I don’t have a tik tok. What are they saying about our boys 🙄

omg thank you so much for sending in an ask about my post bc… i need to VENT lol

first and foremost, what aren't they saying about the boys on tiktok??? that's the real question.

imma just list the shit i've been either told or saw myself said about snc (but mostly colby).

sam should sue colby for the killing best friend prank (this one was brought to my attention by @xplrvibes like yesterday lol)

colby was molested

colby was sexually assaulted

elton made colby show his self harm scars on camera

colby has a bad relationship with his brother

sam cried being sexualized too much

the fans broke shea and colby up

colby has hated elton from the beginning

snc were talking about elton on the that one video years back (the one where they did the lie detector test on awesomenesstv)

not a SINGLE one of these are true, btw. that's the insane part to me. like…. every single one of these is a lie that i have no clue how they got started or who said them first.

and here, for anyone's benefit (in case you're curious) i will disprove all of these in one go.

sam was IN on the prank and has openly said that himself in the past

didn't happen/colby has never said that this has happened

same thing (granted if you want to make an argument that some fans have almost done this, that's a different story. but that's not what the fans on tiktok are talking about when they mention this)

colby has never self harmed. colby has never had depression, anxiety/has never been diagnosis with any mental illness. he even outright said in a video, EXPOSING THE TRUTH ABOUT COLBY BROCK, when asked if he was emo "depending on your definition of emo, if you say emo is somebody that hurts themselves - no. i'm not emo in that way." not to mention that if this is something that did happen, how come there was not a WORD about it until 2022??? the last time snc collabed with elton was in 2019. there is no WAY this shit could have happened, only to be talked about now with no proof. ALSO colby literally stated multiple times, back on metalife and even in a livestream in 2020/21, that he has never suffered from a mental illness, which is why he doesn't feel comfortable giving advice on it.

literally…. how would anyone know this in the first place? colby doesn't really talk about his family. but if you want to get technical, for a while in the back of his videos in 2020/21, you could see on his record player his brother's bands record. plus he literally went and saw him run a marathon in 2022 so… his relationship with him is fine.

that's literally not a thing at all lmao

shea and colby never dated, as much as shea would like you to believe otherwise. and if the fans are talking about their friendship… they are two grown adults. no one can make them do anything they don't want to do.

snc lived with elton for a full year, and continued to collab with him until 2019. elton didn't even become a hater until late 2020/early 21. so… no. colby didn't hate elton from the beginning just bc he has resting bitch face in some of the videos. if you want to make an argument that elton took some of his pranks too far, sure. but that's not what this is about.

this one is just ppl taking an old clip and trying to make it make sense to nowadays, so i'll give some slack. but again, this wasn't about elton. it was about aaron when they had beef with him for like a week and a half in 2019 lol

there is probably TONS of other shit said on there that i don't remember off the top of my head. but the fact that i've seen tons of these comments and tiktoks saying this shit is true is bonkers to me. idk who is starting these rumors, but like… dear lord above stop.

like i'm literally gonna have to make a snc tiktok account just to dispel rumors bc it annoys me to no end how these fans believe this stuff with literally NO PROOF.

[jooniely]

I am not at all qualified to make this post so obviously I will be making it. Basically I've noticed something with how men vs women and queer ppl consume shonen manga.

When I'm on tumblr and ao3 I mostly see women and queer ppl post about manga but on tiktok I see mostly (straight) men. And I see a lot of difference between what they usually want for characters (especially strong ones)

I'm gonna focus on jujutsu kaisen cuz it was this manga that made it finally click in my head. What ppl want for characters and the story is usually directly tied to their identity especially gender identity and ofc the patriarchy.

I'll start with the example that gave me this lightbulb moment: on twitter and tumblr (where I curate my feed btw which makes a huge difference since i follow mainly non-men) I see ppl wanting gojo to essentially have an emotional breakdown or go thru some type of pain and go berserk out of the emotional heartbreaking pain of losing his loved ones or being forced to kill them.

Then on tiktok (where I look thru my fyp so I don't really curate my feed so any manga type videos come up and they're mixed with videos of men) I see alot about who would win in a fight between sukuna and gojo. About who would "dog walk" the other. A LOT about fighting and violence and killing. (In my head I'm thinking why the solution is always straight to killing the other person? Idk writers can get creative with endings that don't contain just straight up killing characters)

This got me thinking: why are ppl so obsessed with the fight and the violence? Then I'm like: well it's a shonen that's the genre. But then that would mean almost everyone who consumes shonen would have similar thoughts. But like I pointed out in the example, that's not the case. Why do the men focus so much on the violence and the women and queers focus on the drama and emotion? The character and their relationships?

Then it hit me: it's about PROJECTION. About living vicariously thru these characters. Men project themselves on these powerful characters and live out their fantasies of being strong, powerful, violent with no one who can get in their way or beat them. It's why they get so offended when ppl bring up other characters that can or can't beat the character they have projected onto.

Women and queer ppl focus on the emotion because we project ourselves and live our fantasies: to essentially breakdown (think female rage?) Essentially in our lives we are often the ones who do the emotional heavy lifting. Ones who are taught to keep quiet or be the bigger person or look the other way. Our emotions are used against us. But when we project ourselves to characters like gojo who has a ton on his shoulders, who has to do everything, we want him to breakdown and cry and rage cuz WE can't do that. It's our way of releasing our need to breakdown and rage, by living vicariously thru him. Often times after this breakdown we want another character to comfort them. For them to be the one to take care of things for once so our character (us) can take a break.

And I notice we project onto male characters and I think there's 3 reasons for this. Male characters are usually better written cuz they are at the focus of shonen so there's more of them we can attach ourselves to. 2nd reason is cuz they're male and it feels like they're "allowed" to emote without having backlash (tho that's not really the case usually. Like if gojo had a breakdown he wouldn't have been seen as weak or ridiculed but if someone else, usually a girl or a male written more softly like modoriya from mha, they would be ridiculed cuz thats "weak". All this would me coming from the men in the fandom too cuz they can't project onto a "weak" character) 3rd reason is cuz we can take a character that men would make into this "alpha man strong" and turn him human. Have him be realistic and have emotions, something we rarely see in real life cuz u know the patriarchy and men can't be emotional unless it's anger etc.

But anyways so that's what I have noticed and being a woman in fandom is a different experience. Usually a good one cuz fandom was created by women and we are the biggest fan content creators when it comes to Fanfic and fanart. Even some of the best analysis I've seen come from non-men. And I'm often on platforms where majority are women and queer and I curate my experience so when I get to places like tiktok or YouTube comments it's like my little bubble popping and I'm reminded of the different ppl in fandom. There are men on our sides of fandom with thinning more aligned to what I have described as what women usually think! But for this post I'm talking majority.

Anyways idk if this made sense but I wanna know what others think, I'm very interested and curious about this topic

[vulturesrottencorpse]

This MIGHT be a hot take but I hate people who attack others because they don't draw enough diversity.

To be clear, I mean ocs. I don't mean ppl drawing fat characters as skinny or whitewashing black characters.

I've seen people on tiktok get attacked because the majority of their ocs weren't "diverse" enough.

You cannot FORCE someone to draw plus sized people if they don't want to, you can't force people to draw poc if they don't want to, y'know why? It's THEIR characters, THEIR art, not yours.

Luckily I mostly don't have to worry about this since the closest thing to humanoids I draw is furries. I have tried Branching out into other body types and will continue to, because that's my choice, but the majority of body types I draw are thin/average, because base the anatomy off of my own body, which is what MOST PEOPLE DO!!!!

(and btw, it IS harder to learn how to draw plus sized body types for most people, because of the extra mass and gravity and whatnot. I know when I was a bit younger and tried drawing plus sized body types, they'd come out looking pregnant 😭😭. Basically what I'm saying is, be patient, ESPECIALLY with new or young artists)

Nobody owes you anything because it's their own art they can do and draw what they want.

[toxiccdoesart]

Erm mer gerd!!! 🌈💅🔥✨🕺💅✨🔥🌈

Totally not me reconfiguring my whole ass tumblr, lmao-

Okay, so like, hey, it's Toxicc! I'm a traditional and digital artist (mostly digital, i use traditional stuff i make as ref for digital stuff) and I'm involved in a LOT of fandoms (not like big stuff, but i am in the fandoms and plan on staying unless stated otherwise)

The following Fandoms i enjoy a Lot (because they bring me so much comfort) Are:

Welcome Home (like bestie, Clown!1!1 you did something right- btw #1 favorite fandom to me)

Genshin Impact (it's so unhinged like me lmaosoaoa i love unhinged!)

Warrior cats (battle cats are so silly!1!1!1 also unhinged to some extent, not as unhinged as Genshin and Welcome Home)

Helluva Boss & Hazbin Hotel (Still involved and enjoying these fandoms, it's just that sometimes ppl like to shove bad images on Viv which sucks)

Dead Island (1, Riptide, but mostly Dead island 2)

And uhhh there's so much more but it's walking away as we speak (well as i speak, you're just reading! Haha!)

I have a place where you can find more of me if Tumblr isn't enough for you! I don't know if this is a meet the artist/author kinda post I'm making right now, but it's there! I do Not have a Discord yet, so chatting in a Discord server is not possible for me yet!

The place where you can find me is on Sketchersunited.org by the user ToxiccTheArtist! Feel free to make a chat if you have an account or made an account, I'm open to talking about stuff if you'd like!

Also, on here you may see me shoving art where i see fit, and not only that, but i also have some interesting stuff to offer! I have Original Characters! (Who doesn't?) You'll find more about them on sketchers united as i try to post about them often. I'm currently working on a Series that i plan to make into an indie animated series when i start animating with the proper stuff for it.

You will also see me making AUs or silly ideas in general regarding my favorite fandoms! (Atm, I'm working on a Welcome Home AU, just writing down ideas as i Go, no worries, i won't use these ideas for anything else, just the AU! So stay tuned for that via here if I'm active or by contacting my Sketchers United account as mentioned above! I also forgot to mention that i don't have a Tiktok, I'm just getting settled with other platforms as i go, don't worry!)

Sooo yeah, just your ordinary artist, nothing much than that for now. If you're interested as to what I'll make, feel free to check back every now and then (also coding a blog page is weird on mobile Lmaoaoa-).

I hope you all have an amazing rest of your days!

[n0phis]

[fwacchi]

On mobile & sorry if I said anything weird my first language isn't english & for not using puntuation I'm not good at it

Hello! This is just a mini rant(kinda)(since no one that I currently know are into vtubers or know what they are & I just wanna talk about it) but I just came across this tiktok short/edit (don't really know what to call it 😅) but she basically trying to expose? Vtubers (mostly nijien) (mostly nina in this case) but she was a minor (it's in her prof.) & I found on one of her edits/videos she was asking ppl for shoutout bc she 'needs her fame back' & that just makes me feel weird about it like.. Idk.. I think that recently I just had seen some ppl trying to cancel some vtubers on tiktok for stupid things like fu-chun getting 'cancel' for liking/reading BL even though he's bi if I'm correct (ik that some of the cancel aren't really recent but tiktok just kinda stated to put those videos on my for you page recently) like for vox I kinda get why he's was cancel but at the same time not bc sure you can feel uncomfortable & all but for me personally I think that calling him a p*do was too mush like lately ppl have been throwing that word around to losely & I just think that he over share to much but yeah

Btw it's ok if you don't want to respond to this you can just ignore it but have a good day/night also I hope that your first day in college was good! My younger sister also just started college & she was saying the same thing as you so just know that you aren't alone 🤣🤣

Your English is reallyyyy good!! <3 and good luck to your sister too!!!

I've wanted to talk about this topic before but didn't really have the chance to but now that you've ranted about it, I'm gonna reply to your rants with a rant of my own so buckle up 😌

(there's literally an essay down there so enter at your own risk 👁️👁️)

This is exactly why I barely go on tiktok anymore. when I used to be a diehard fan of kpop artists, shits like this was way more worse. At some point, it started disturbing me to the point I actually never went back on tiktok again. That's how much I hated that app back then. Literally just one or two months ago I opened that app again, thinking I could have a peaceful life in vtubers fandom but oh lord I encountered a hate video.

It was something similar to what you said, but what I saw was a video saying "canceling nijisanji en" and I thought it was a joke or something so I went to the comments section to see what it was about. And the whole comment section was filled with "omg yes" "ugh shifting to nijisanji jp right now" "well at least shu is safe💀" honestly, I was like huh??? seems that they were talking about most of the nijisanji en boys interacting with an artist who was apparently racist (or something else i'm not really sure) but yeah that's the bits of it. [I saw a comment under the specific post saying something like "if this is how yalls attitude is, then don't even think about coming to the jp side" and I was like SLAYY GIRL YOU RIGHT ASF] sorry I'm pretty much gatekeeping niji jp from toxic fans like that who could just hate on their so called "oshi" on a baseless rumour.

First of all, I'm on twitter literally everyday and have heard nothing of that issue. Or maybe it's possible that I could've totally missed it. Secondly, even if the issue is true, I'm pretty sure the en boys wouldn't have interacted with the said artist if they knew about it. Like girl, vtubers don't have to know everything about everyone on internet. Just because they don't follow up on who is who and who is supporting what doesn't mean you have the fucking rights to cancel them.

Let me tell y'all something mind blowing. Reading BL isn't a crime. Surprising? Get that into your fucking mind. BL is a genre just like Mystery, Romance, Historical and etc. Even if you're straight you can read/watch BL it's not wrong. It's not wrong as long as you don't fantasize about it and get off on it. If you're a straight person reading BL (yaoi) and getting turned on about it and being public about it, then seek help. That's just so wrong. You girls don't like it when men jerk off to lesbian porns so it goes both ways.

This is me speaking for myself as someone who enjoys BL and I would love to read GL genre too. But there's just none that suits my taste and BL stories are being published more and more rather than GL. That's the main reason I read more BL and not GL. It has nothing to do with me being a freak. I don't even read much yaoi like BJ ALEX, painter of the night, etc. I mostly enjoy fluff BL genre because I see it as any other romance. (if you have good gl manhwa/anime/donghua/manga recommendations, please share it with me👁️👁️)

And calling vox a p*do? that's just way too offensive and wrong. Did you see him having dirty talks or actually having sex with a minor? No you fucking didn't so stfu. You don't even know who he truly is behind the avatar so what gives you the rights to say something so horrible about him? And this goes to everyone else. Even if a person you know, or barely know, is a prostitute, slut, playboy or whatever, you do not get to judge them. You're not their parents/family members so you get no say in their life. Just stfu and live your own life instead of judging others'. UNLESS you see them committing real crimes which is against the law of your country then report them to the police. That's all you have to do.

Now, I don't want to categorise all tiktok users as one group but most of the people, I repeat, MOST of the people in tiktok are underage, or simply just utter fools who have no morals in them. Especially those hate accounts (and this goes to EVERY hate accounts. not just the ones dedicated to nijisanji/vtubers).

I see some accounts saying "this is a troll account. i actually love [insert name] so much🥺" no. If you love them as much as you claim to, then you wouldn't even think about hating on them like that even for a joke. That's just disrespectful.

What do they really get out of this hating behaviour? likes? shares? comments? fame? well if that's what they want then they're really doing it in a wrong fucking way. I didn't know people could be happy getting those achievements from such a nasty way. They have little to none shame. Possibly bringing down someone's career because of their stupid behaviour isn't something to be proud of. Their parents surely wouldn't be proud of it either. Am I mean? well not as much as they are and at least I'm only speaking facts.

It's literally so easy to shut up your mouth if you don't like something. Like, go find something else you enjoy instead of hating.

+the nijisanji en family has been getting bigger these days which is why they're getting more hate that are visible. The only thing we can do is comment something to put some sense in their shitty mind(which will end up going over their head considering how dumb they are), report, block and scroll away. Fools like them can't be fixed unless they themselves realise what they're doing and how it harms others around them. We really shouldn't be wasting our time and ruining our mental health over some dumb asses.
