Nothing quite like seeing people @ing creators and actors online to yell at them for not having a character on a show to such a degree that the they have to actually respond to the hate to say that the actress was in ENGLAND and it was 2021 which was the HEIGHT OF COVID and she DIDNT WANT TO DO IT. Nothing quite like seeing people still spewing vitriol at the creators and actors in spite of this.
#there is a reason i try to stay mainly on the outskirts of fandom#more so on twitter than tumblr to be clear#my tumblr mutuals are my besties#but like the only reason the twitter trekkies havent gone after marina sirtis directly#is because she made the smart choice and got rid of twitter#sometimes people have lives#those lives arent any of your business#and even if they did bring troi back#to more than a cameo extent#what would she even be doing?#they're trying to pack in so much as it is#like MAYBE she would have had stuff to do this past episode#and we could have gotten to see her and will on the shrike#and not had to sit through the inevitable titan filler episode because all their storylines have hit kind of a wall#maybe#but then what would she do in episode eight?#this is me not tagging my angry post#i dont think i've put anything in this to have it end up in a tag search#but if it does please let me know#my intention here was to rant not to cause problems#and i will delete whatever caused it to interrupt your internet time#sending everyone love and hugs and a moment to breathe#we all need it (especially me tbh)

My favourite things about the whole OceanGate disaster, in no particular order
That the vessel was originally named Cyclops II but the CEO renamed it to Titan, so it’s even BETTER than the Titanic
He also called it indestructible
The guy piloting the vessel is an ex-naval captain who has been on several titanic manned trips. But the guy is 77 rn
The billionaire from Pakistan is apparently friends with King Charles. You’d think for someone who’s besties with a guy whose job was literally being born, he’d care more about protecting his bloodline. Instead, he brought his 19 year old with him
Meanwhile, the stepson of one of the other billionaires (I think the British one named Hamish) went to a Blink 182 concert. When questioned about this, he basically went “my family would want me to go to the concert”. Today, minutes after posting about asking for thoughts and prayers, he @‘ed an OF model on Twitter, asking her to sit on his face
Bc it’s part of the safety demo & music track list for the trip, there is a VERY good chance that if there’s still some power left in the sub, it’s playing an instrumental of My Heart Will Go On on loop
Also, the vessel is a submersible bc it doesn’t meet literally any of the safety regulations to be called a submarine. Which the CEO knew, because he’s blatantly said that safety regulations get in the way of progress
The CEO once stated that he thought the future of humanity was not in space, but in the ocean when the surface becomes uninhabitable
Apparently the controller he’s using has REAL bad reviews because the connection always fails
These idiots paid $250k EACH but they had to pack their own lunch. Not even a damn charcuterie board
The pilot’s seat is on the toilet. So whenever someone needs to go, the pilot needs to move
There’s 1 window looking out. That’s it
It’s about the size of a minivan
The sub uses texts (but only to the CEO’s phone) to communicate, as well as StarLink, but they can only access that if they surface
The door literally cannot be opened from inside
There is a decent chance that at least 1 person has been cannibalized (my bet was the pilot since he’s not rich, but bc of the banging sounds, he’s probs not dead, so it may be the CEO)
They’re supposed to run out of oxygen tomorrow (22/06/23) at 7 am est, but tbh, the CO2 scrubber system will probs fail before that
The toilet is a plastic bag
This is only the 3rd time in 3 years the vessel has gone to the Titanic. Every other time, there’s an issue and they gotta turn back within like 4 hours
A lot of major news networks are trying to remain positive, but it’s a HILARIOUS comparison when you go to social media and every single person is like “yeah that shit is built like a cardboard boat, they’re fucked”
The company’s name is literally called OceanGate

track 30: i'd never do that
"fuck." y/n said, wiping her eyes as she turned from the crowd, walking off the stage as soon as the curtains closed. she just... couldn't stop crying. all because of some song...
"y/n..." armin said, standing at her side. he rubs her back and takes the bass from her. the crowd continues to cheer loudly, claps and chants emerging from behind the curtains. "it's okay. c'mon, let's get you—"
they were interrupted by jean standing up loudly from his seat, storming off the stage and towards their change rooms. everyone's eye fell on him, watching his forced steps as he walked passed them all and the stage crew. eren and mikasa follow after, armin and y/n walking off next.
it was only truly a week ago that they all found out about marco's death, and having to preform to avoid any more backlash. unhappy fans ruled their twitter pages due to the postponed shows, and though levi advised against returning, the five of them agreed to come back. it was work... and they couldn't stop.
although what porco said was true, it was also true that the fans had control over their jobs. they could only enjoy their work if they had those fans. and using their friend's death as an excuse was no option. they didn't want to use it, and the fans had no right to know.
it was a bump in the road, is all.
"we did well tonight." mikasa says, sitting beside y/n. she holds her hand tightly. "you two did very well."
"i fucked up the tempo in the first song, made it too fast." jean complains, laying on the other couch.
"and i forgot my part for the whole first verse and just didn't play." y/n added in, leaning her head back.
"nobody even noticed, we didn't." eren says, sitting on the armrest of jean's couch. that may have a been a tiny lie, he definitely noticed and the looks that armin and mikasa shared on stage showed so too. armin stands nearby, pouring water for everyone. eren ruffles jean's hair gently. "you two did great. don't question it."
the two become quiet, silently thinking to themselves of what to do now. they had two more shows, two more shows and they could go home. and rest, and think, and be better.
"y/n? your phone's been buzzing like crazy." armin says, looking down at your device.
"huh? it's probably twitter. pass it 'ere." you say, holding out your hand. armin passes you the phone as you stand up, grabbing tissues to wipe your face. armin takes your spot. lo and behold, you were right. "i'm gonna talk a walk, alright?"
"don't go too far, we're gonna' leave soon." eren says as you wave your hand and leave the room.
you walk through the backstage halls until you make it outside. it's a restricted area, so no fans were there. and since everyone else was packing up the stage, you were alone.
but you unlock your phone, seeing thousands of twitter notifications and a few texts from porco. you stop yourself when you feel relieved.
when did you start feeling relieved about porco? when did he start making you feel that way?
you couldn't deny that sense of happiness you felt when you saw his picture show up on screen, though. maybe you should answer him.

A little post about me
Since I have become active again on this account, I figured I would make a little get to know me to answer most frequently asked questions! Who am I? I'm a Polish artist living in Ireland, currently beginning my journey to become an art teacher. This account is to share my art, which is mostly fanart at this point in time. I'm queer, in case if that wasn't clear.
I do freelance illustrations, sell at conventions, have self published a comic. I do a bit of everything tbh! My background is in animation, I have a BA.
Where else can you find me? Instagram (most active there!) | My Shop | Twitter | Tiktok (speedpaints, packing orders etc) | Kofi
Commissions Commission Info
Do I take requests? YES, I do take requests BUT... I cannot guarantee that I will do every single one. You can send me requests through my ask box!
I don't take requests for: - OCs - fandoms I'm not a part of - complicated pieces - very explicit content
Most of my requests are going to be sketches in black and white. If your request inspires me to do a full piece, please keep in mind that I may end up using it in any products I sell. (as prints, acrylic charms or in art books)
Your best bet of getting your request drawn is submitting for a fandom you have seen me already draw for with a simple prompt that's character interaction based and does not require a background.
If you would like for me to draw something more elaborate? Consider commissioning me. Stuff I'm currently into (as of July 2024) I figured I might as well make a list. It might not include everything, but this is what's on my mind rn! tgcf, good omens, ace attorney, dragon age, doctor who, bg3, dungeon meshi, marvel comics (specifically spider-man, iron man, loki, defenders, x-men, deadpool, she hulk), dc comics (batman, trinity, poison ivy, harley quinn, jason todd, catwoman, teen titans), legend of zelda, hannibal, dnd
You can find my art tag here

Thanks for the answers :) got some more if that’s ok?
1: is there a canon reason why Jake is named well, Jacob? What’s your Headcanon about the name?
2: besides the undertaker vs mankind hel in a cell match, what’s the duos favorite OMG moment in wrestling?
3: what’s the official name for the duo: the starburst duo, starburst duo, team starburst, etc….
4: was there another name for the duo before coming up with starburst duo?
5: what’s something the duo would laugh at every time?
6: would Chris like three despicable me movies? I say yes due to the adoption theme & maybe the fart gun weapon. ( can see Jake creating his own version of that XD)
@gothicghost2000 No problem at all my friend ;-)
1) As of this writing, sadly there hasn’t been an official documented reason for Jake’s naming in New Order by his creators so for the canonical part it is currently unknown.
That having been said, Based on a Headcanon by the ever lovely @snothing , Jakand’r translates in Tamaranean as ‘Moonfire’; more implicitly he’s named after one of Tamaran’s moons though in a bit of coincidence, it’s also a name that starts with the letter J which can fit into how both his sister and him are named after Mary and John Grayson. For more on that, that post would be right here
2) Perhaps the Duo’s OMG moments will also include but not limited to:
Cody vs Dustin Rhodes, especially it’s ending from AEW Double or Nothing 2019,
Kofi Kingston vs Bryan Danielson for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 35
Kurt Angle Driving a Milk Truck to the Ring then Dousing Milk all Over Steve Austin (aka Milk-O-Mania)
And lastly but never the least
Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016
3) I probably lean on The Phantom Star Vanguard Titans as it reflects both their place of origins and roots while making them a sub branch of the Titans via their respective connections with Dick and Kory.
4) At first they try coining the Star Phantoms as a sort of nickname for them but as time went on after the press gave them their more well known moniker, it ended up sticking to them and they accepted it, finalizing it via their Twitter account being called as such.
5) Probably videos about epic bloopers, special effects failures, and other such mishaps when it comes to big budget movies behind the scenes are a surefire guarantee in getting Chris and Jake to burst out laughing so hard. It's something of a tradition for them nearly every single time they have a sleepover.
6) Oh my yes Chris would adore those movies which is quite ironic in a sense given he's a superhero and yet the main character Gru himself starts out as a self admitted supervillain. As for the tool you describe, I see Jake taking some inspiration only instead he opts for instead gas grenades, packed with instead a compound that emits a powerful odor that can be described being 'Someone accidentally cutting the cheese at the same time a skunk walks right into the room'. Jake would use it in flushing out entire rooms are armed criminals and thugs inside a building during patrols

The plagiarism video and my brain
I need to gather up my thoughts because my brain has done some really heavy lifting with some of my past experiences and it's a wild ride. Not sure how coherent this is going to be, but! I'm going to try and unpack some of it.
Hbomberguy, a video essayist on Youtube, recently released a hefty video (it's, like, 4 hours long) about plagiarism on the platform, focusing on a few other content creators before getting to the bulk of the video, which is about James Somerton, a commentator who does videos about LGBTQ+ representation in media. hbomberguy has come with ALL the RECEIPTS proving without a shadow of a doubt that Somerton stole most of his content from other writers, reading their words and claiming them as his own. It's shitty, but unfortunately not inherently illegal, particularly since Somerton almost always backtracks when accused and then reups those videos with the barest of efforts to credit the original writers.
So, I have no idea who Somerton is. I sort of(?) recall some sort of controversy about a Youtuber who stole from The Celluloid Closet (a famous documentary about homosexuality and Hollywood) but I do remember that the person apologized and pointed out that there was very little research in the way of queer people in American media so of course he HAD to borrow heavily from Celluloid Closet. I sort of shrugged at the time and moved on, never thinking about it again until I watched the hbomberguy video
And hoo boy it's a lot to pack. Somerton apparently never had an original idea in his head. All the great points he's made in his videos were made by other people whom he stole words from, and when he DID have original content in his videos, it was largely misogynist and...rather racist too? Ouch.
So in the middle of the video, hbomberguy points out that Somerton did a video about the fascist themes in the anime Attack on Titan. And I started to freak out. I, myself, wrote an op-ed for syfy.com about fascism and anime, and I mentioned Attack on Titan. it was originally posted in October of 2018, a full 4 years before Somerton did his video, so i was rather worried that he'd also plagiarised ME (this is how my brain works, and considering the full extent of obscure sources Somerton used for his videos, I don't think my fear was unfounded). The original article doesn't exist on syfy.com anymore, as they decided that Fangrrls as a vertical just wasn't working for their brand and they stripped years of work from female writers from their site. I have a backup of the article here for reference.
As for whether Somerton plagiarised me, I feel icky but I ended up downloading the transcript for the video in question and perused through it. I don't THINK he stole any of my words, because the bulk of the video is about the anti-semitic elements in Attack on Titan's later seasons. When I wrote my piece, the fascist elements were still fairly subtle and the big reveal about the Eldians being treated as second class citizens, a once great power (given holy gifts by "God" no less) reduced to living in ghettos and wearing armbands and definitely being coded as Jewish people, hadn't come in yet. My op-ed was about fascism in anime in general, and I mentioned more than just Attack on Titan. I imagine that if my article were still widely available, Somerton might've taken from it. But is that my ego talking? It's probably my ego talking. But I know for SURE that this particular piece still sent a ripple through the larger anime community.
I know this because I am a woman who dared share an opinion on the internet and suddenly anime weebs were spreading the article through twitter and facebook and calling me out for writing a shitty take.
Was my take shitty? IDK, I still got paid for it and I actually wish I'd written more about it but my editor said that it was fine and the article's like 5 years old at this point and waaaaaaay out of date now since AoT's fascist themes have grown so much more blatant. I only scratched the surface, while newer takes on AoT have the benefit of more story to make their arguments more sound. Some of THESE articles, the more recent ones, Somerton definitely stole from because hbomberguy proved it in his video. I'm just watching from the sidelines right now, very bemused and my brain is coming up with what-if's by the truckload.
I'm just unpacking this now because I don't think I ever fully faced the criticisms I received because of my initial op-ed. My editor warned me that my work could be inflammatory and that I should brace myself. I locked down my Twitter account (as my editor suggested) and ignored any messages from people I didn't recognize for about 2 weeks after the article was posted. Sure enough, the article was spread tens of thousands of times on FB and Twitter. Some of the comments I'd seen called me "misinformed" (fair), "ethnocentric" (I suppose), a "dumb bitch," (possibly?), a "woke SJW" (thanks!), and, most horribly, "white", which for some reason offended me more than the ones calling me a dumb bitch.
One big argument against my op-ed boiled down to the fact that I, as an American, am not aware of the subtleties in Japanese media and I didn't understand Japan's own relationship with its past and I put a Western viewpoint on it (ethnocentrism at its finest). Me...a Filipino-American. Me, a descendent of people (Filipinos) who were subjected to Japan's imperialist expansion in Asia. The Philippines became a battleground between Japanese and Allied forces in WWII. Bataan Death March? Hello? I know my history, but I didn't place this in the article. I thought my mentions of Japan's occupation of China and Korea were enough to show that Japan definitely had imperialist and fascist tendencies in its history and MAYBE that might provide a throughline to why Japanese media is still fascinated with this stuff but it wasn't enough, I guess. It is...a puzzle.
Oh and the original idea for "srsly what's up with Nazis and anime?" came from J, my significant other, who is Japanese-American.
Where's my brain going this? I don't know, but I think I'm happy I'm getting this off my chest now?
I'm sorry and if you read this all the way through, I'm grateful to ya'll.
EDIT: and America is as guilty of burying the sins of the past as much as any other country. Think about the historical revisionist movements which claim that African slaves liked working in plantations because we need to tell American kids these lies to feel better about themselves and not hate their own country. When my views were called "ethnocentric", what POV did my critics think I SHOULD have used? Or are we looking at a case of me "interrogating the narrative from the wrong perspective"?

hiii :D coming from THAT twitter argument and saw your tweet/tumblr url about it "Mikasa being Levi's right-hand" omggggg I never knew I needed this so bad???????????? is there a fic list rec or smth where Mikasa is Levi's right-hand, doesn't have to be a ship fic idc I just need them being best duo in the world. are there fics where they fuck shit up together? often i see armin being levi's and hange's right-hand in fics but I want Mikasaaa
Omg YES! I’m glad you read that post! That twt argument was a mess but I’m glad it led you here 😭😂
Hell yeah Mikasa is his righthand. It’s interesting they don’t show much of it after the Season 3 Uprising arc/Crystal Caves, but it’s absolutely implied and makes sense. Mikasa’s the girl worth a hundred soldiers—as time goes on, she’s worth even more as she grows and nurtured that skill. Of COURSE this rare, once-in-a-lifetime soldier would end up accompanying the Captain of the Scouts in combat and off-field. We saw it during the uprising arc in full display, entering the battlefield together first before the rest of the crew, Mikasa helping him with the hands-on work of capturing people directly, even that moment when Mikasa speaks up for Levi and asks Armin and gang to trust Levi’s leadership when they doubted him/saw him as a bad leader for asking them to kill humans.
They went from not trusting each other (Mikasa doubting Levi’s intentions and leadership, and Levi wary of Mikasa’s tunnel vision over Eren) to having the fullest trust in each other’s skills/competency, to being the equivalent of Kenny/Caven (a captain and his righthand strong soldier), to heading into the battle of Heaven and Earth together where not only does Levi trust Mikasa with the final blow (whereas he is usually the one in that position), but he aids her the exact same way she aided him in the forest w Female Titan long ago. There’s just so much transformation and development between Levi and Mikasa (platonic) that it personally INSULTS ME when people say there’s nothing between them or imply they don’t even notice each other!
She has functioned as his righthand in his small squad for YEARS now. When mutual respect and admiration grows and nurtures for years, throw on surviving so many dire battles together, add on an exclusive understanding of each other as Ackermans burdened by their strength, of course an irreplaceable bond forms.
ANYWAYYYYY! Fic recs!!
I think I have some fun longfic suggestions for you! Everything I read is ship-related so hopefully that is okay for you!
My top rec is The Song Remains the Same by @moraleewright! A majority of this one takes place in the Underground where Levi and Mikasa venture off to solve a mystery. Packed full of adventure, angst, top tier romance and smut, gripping mystery, exciting action, plot twists, great original characters, all the things. I’ve been meaning to reread this one for the 4th time 😂 Mora’s writing style is to be praised every time. Her other fics are fantastic too!
The next is Determination by @chaosisbeauty23! I admit I haven’t gotten to finish this one yet (😭) but it is a full retelling of canon that is Rivamika-centered, so looots of adventure and action and moments reframed to circle around the two. Chaos is fantastic and a writing machine, she has so many stories and all so diverse!
The next is self promo (🤭) of my Microcosmos fic. Mikasa and Levi head back to Marley undercover to retrieve Eren after he goes missing. I wrote this with the top desire of seeing them as a soldier duo (obviously with romance budding) and I had FUN writing a lot of their action scenes and Marley adventures and all. The first three chapters are slower paced than the rest but I’m very proud of where things go, who they meet, how things unravel, and how they save and help each other throughout it, growing individually and together because of this journey.
I realize a lot of what I’ve read so far is post-war so not a ton of badass Ackerman action, but I’ll try to think more of other stories that are kinda action-duo based during their time as active soldiers. I’m thankful we have a lot of Rivamika fics even if we’re tiny in number 👏🏽
Thanks for the ask! My inbox is always open!

Obscure Animation Subject #35: Yin Yang Yo!
Originally posted on Twitter on March 14, 2023.
Created by Bob Boyle, who also created Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and developed PPG 2016, its an American-Canadian co-production by Jetix Animation Concepts, the last show by a joint venture of Disney Television Animation and Jetix Europe.
The series airs on Toon Disney via the Jetix programming block, later merged into Disney XD by the end of the show’s run. It premiered as a sneak peek on August 26, 2006, then officially on September 4, 2006. The final episode aired on April 18, 2009, and reruns aired until 2010.
In Canada, it premiered on Family Channel on March 25, 2007. Most writers and animators involved with the show previously worked on The Fairly OddParents, 6teen, Clone High, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and Danny Phantom. This includes Bob Boyle, creator of both this show and Wubbzy.
Bob Boyle has also worked on both The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom as a producer and art director for both. For the earlier show, he also was an executive producer, storyboard artist and layout designer. Head writer Steve Marmel also worked on OddParents and DP.
Marmel took inspiration from anime like FLCL and anime-influenced shows like Teen Titans. Considering he’s an anime fan, you can see the influences in his style of writing. This show’s and Wubbzy’s art style are similar to each other, but this show has a more detailed edge.
This show is about two twin rabbits named Yin and Yang, and their sensei-like panda figure named Yo, a master of fictional mystical martial arts called Woo Foo. The twins learn about the sacred art of Woo Foo, a special type of martial arts that involves both might and magic.
They must work together to defeat evil villains and forces movitivated on destroying, corrupt or dominate society. For the first season, the primary goal was to defeat the Night Master, a powerful enemy, but by the second season we got more storylines making room for more lore.
The show, having to last for two seasons with 65 half-hours of 104 segments had positive reception thoughout its run, thanks to the animation, comedy, action and lore. It gained a fandom who grew-up with the show very fondly is often compared to Wubbzy, Boyle’s other work.
I even grew-up with it when it was airing and thought it was good. Rewatching it, it still holds up very well, its considered timeless. I definitely recommend checking this show out if you haven’t seen it, it’s fun, action-packed, hilarious and has great continuity.
