goodnight Roxas

[bucketspammer4life]

☆ how the boxers were as children ☆

Hey besties, sorry for dissapearing i was busy decaying, enjoy my cringe ass writing

Glass Joe

- Really sleepy & an edgelord, he was the kid that had hair covering the side of his face in middle school

- his parents always said that he wouldnt really be able to take up boxing due to him being a natural coward, jokes on them Joe isnt scared to get hurt (physically)

- loved reading old writing, especially gothic literature, he has a soft spot for dark writing

- wrote cringy edgy poems about every crush he had, his parents sometimes pull them out to torment him

- tried to start his own band, failed miserably

- still attached to his edgelord phase very much

- if he was a teen during the 2000-2010's he def would have a edgy wolf oc and a Deviantart account

Von Kaiser

- sickly victorian child + little german boy hybrid

- his parents always spoke with permission so he also started copying them, leading to him always interrupting people by saying "can i ask something?"

- had that one little german boy outfit, along with the huge ass lollipop and dumb hat, anytime someone pulls out his childhood pictures he prays they dont whip out those photos or he will get bullied recklessly

- NEVER EVER cursed until the wonderful age of 15 when he yelled out the word "fuck" after dropping a wrench on his foot, his dad wasnt even upset he was more concerned because holy fuck his child dropped a wrench on their foot

- got sick really often, he was out here being asked to be taken out into the garden one last time before you all posers

Disco Kid

- that one kid who had a really cool dad that let him do anything as long as he didnt blow up the house

- Really creative, writing up stories with pictures, his grammar wasnt really the best (along with his writing) so his parents had to read "the addventours off the brince" and hold in their laugh

- He was the kid who performed an entire ass dance choreography to get your parents to accept the sleepover invite

- got introduced to Disco music by his dad, got obsessed with it instantly and started dancing everywhere

King Hippo

- ate glue

- never spoke with anyone, Just beat up anyone picking on him and no one messed with him ever since

- people just gave him paper to eat, fresh with colored pencils

- liked to play make believe with his plushies

Piston Hondo

- He let you copy off his homework, i think that tells you enough

- everyone only recognized him for being a smart ass, not being creative and that really upset him

- played chess a whole lot, joined tournaments and won some medals

- academic burnout hit him like a train

- for a while, art and writing was his only escape from stress & pressure, he journaled about his feelings and drew his soul out, due to this he struggled to express his feelings without words

Bear Hugger

- chased everyone around with a spider then ate it, he was so evil for what

- never actually went to school, his parents lived out in the woods and homeschooled him since no one likes walking 2-3 hours straight just to suffer in a seat

- He always had a interest in animals, him and mrs bear go are childhood friends, mrs bear met him when she was a cub, due to this he got spared by mrs bears mom and suddenly had a 2nd mom, once his family realized that their son got adopted by a bear, they kindly let the bears in and treated it like it was normal

- loved fishing with mrs bear, he taught her how to use a rod and she taught him how to catch fish with his bare hands

Great Tiger

- so called "self sufficient" When he was just used to being alone and kinda accepted the fact he'll never have proper friends

- created the most batshit insane scenarios with his clones that would make the average hollywood movie maker shed tears, these gems include: divorce, murder, crime, assault and tea parties

- talked to himself a whole lot to the point where his parents took him to a therapist

- never really made friends, Just made himself his own friend

Don Flamenco

- oh no.

- his dad basically hated him, insulted him a whole lot, made fun of him, literally just made him insecure, when he got the opportunity to escape his dad by boxing, he took it without hesitation and got out of there

- was never really home, he was always out with friends to avoid his dad back at the house

- emotional stability? Who needs that when you can ignore your problems?

- people pleaser no matter what he says

Aran Ryan

- greasy ass bitch

- his parents didnt teach him shit, you think tigers parents didnt care about him? They'll look like helicopter parents next to them when they see what aran has going on

- had bad hygiene, only learned to shower and take care of himself in the 5th grade, thanks to that and his name, my boy got bullied and developed his behavior to defend himself from people

- Always ran from school & home, he had a hide out from away from home and a bit close to school to escape whenever he had the chance, he always dissapeared for a few weeks (sometimes months) and nobody really went looking for him, either from knowing he'll return sometime or they just dont care enough

Soda Popinski

- lonely, him and tiger are the difference between feeling lonely vs being alone, he doesnt handle loneliness well

- grew up with his grandpa & his stories, always loved listening to them and copied him whenever he wanted to tell a story

- never had a proper social life due to having to take care of his grandpa + him getting concerned about soda whenever he was out for too long

- spent most of his time crying from loneliness, away from him

Bald Bull

- precious!!! Was really shy and had a rounder face that everyone in his family pinched like crazy

- extremely sensitive & emotional (he still is hes just bottling it up shh)

- stuttered a lot, think about that one "have you ever had a dream you could you can't you would you you could be anything" kid

- was really short and just shot up one day

- scaredy cat, could be scared from anything, including: bugs, darkness, thunder, needles, sharp stuff, blood, death and alcohol (he also still gets scared easily but shh shut up)

- Always snored in his sleep, inherited it from his dad

Super Macho Man

- obsessed with sharks, dinosaurs, trucks and cars, basically got obsessed with anything he found cool

- his parents spoiled the living fuck out of him, no dime left unspent on him, no quarter spared

- Always lied about having something at the playground, sure Macho i trust the fact that you have "every dinosaurs teeth" 100% never doubted you for a second

- his parents love language was money so it got passed down to him, they were just throwing money at him and fucking off

Mr Sandman

- oldest child in his family, has 4 siblings and loves them all very much, had to help his mom & dad take care of them since they were a handful

- started boxing early so he was never in school that often unless it was 99% neccessary

- slept a lot thanks to him being tired constantly from rushing around

- knows how to do hair & make up from his younger sister

anyways this was way harder than it should be, but i looked really hard trying to find the source for this #funny edgy wolf meme.

in this higher resolution version of the pic you can see the artist's signature on the bottom left, it all indicates this was drawn by Deviantart user Vvlad-vVolfen. the thing is that though their deviantart account is still up, their gallery is empty and all their artwork, including this one, seems to have been deleted. it says on their profile they've been on the site for 22 years, for instance deviantart launched in 2000.

the best guess i can make as to when this drawing was made is 2016 or before, because i happened to find an ancient blog post from 2016 showcasing "28 astonishing anthro art" this one being there and them being nice enough to credit the artist, linking directly to a post on Vvlad-vVolfen's deviantart, though if you click on it now it takes to a 404 page

i tried looking up their profile on the wayback machine, but unfortunately theres very few snaps of it, the oldest one being from 2019, when they had already deleted all their art :(

makes me sad to see this person's pretty much entire lifetime of work and art be lost to time, with their only remaining drawing in the public mind being another example of Funny Furry Cringe. hope theyre still out there making art, wherever they are now

[almacambiondaughterofsaleos]

So me and my mutual were talking about how Vivzepop can’t draw older characters and they bought up how weird that most of the adult characters in the show act like high schooler/college kids and omfg they are so right

Stolas is literally in his 30s and has a daughter but instead of acting like a father his ass is to busy singing sad songs because his childhood friend doesn’t love him

Moxxie and Millie had some stupid fight in unhappy campers all because moxxie a grown ass man got upset about a bunch of kids are not finding him cool it’s giving peak in high school energy

Loona acts like a 15 year old that’s going through a emo phase and is all like “I’m so shy and awkward I can’t make any friends🥺” like girl please you are 22 and your only friend is a 17 year old please make some friends that are your age

Hell even Charlie the princess of HELL acts so childish and remember she’s supposed to be way older than the main cast yet husk acts more mature than the 2000 year old girl

Vivziepop is a very immature woman and as a result her characters act very immature. She's a deviantart teen that never grew past her edgy phase and still thinks she can get away with it as a grown adult.

[psiionic]

what are your bloodswaps fursonas

i'll definitely draw up some visuals asap but ill give little descriptions right now!!

Horuss Serket - Initially starting off as a white centuar, Horuss' fursona is a sonic-style white horse (think the way @.Saccharinerose draws horses on deviantart) with four sets of arms and one set of legs. She gets frustrated at the idea of this being a "fursona" design because she feels as if that is more accurate to who she is than her physical body. She does not see her fursona as a furry but as a genuine and true mirror reflection of who she is.

Mituna Pyrope - I havent decided on species yet but I know whatever it is, it's very very similar to the public perception of the Louis Wain cats, his fursona goes through a process of abstraction through out his experience in the game before eventually becoming almost entirely shapes with no anthromorphized features like a face or a clear human body. He doesn't use this fursona anymore unless Horuss insists he does, she refuses to draw a bunch of "shapes" as a reflection of who Mituna is, and this pisses him off to no end. If she can say shes a four armed horse sonic creature then why can't he be a bunch of shapes?

Kankri Makara - Despite having a crab lusus, Kankris fursona is a long slender wolf/fox hybrid, in the style of old 2000s raver fox fursonas. He views her as a less of a reflection of his inner self and more someone he strives to be. She looks like a gothic fox fursuit you'd see in the early 1990s-200s and probably prefers the term "kitsune" over anything. Obviously has a large mime/clown inspiration.

Aranea Captor - She insists on the fact that she doesn't do furry stuff anymore and looks down upon her old furry art, viewing it as something she wasted her time on as a child instead of doing something more productive when she was sick. Despite that, her fursona used to be one of those unique species fursonas that just sort of looked like a cat with wings, but she was intended to be an owl-sort of animal. She still has all her old pictures and has some of them hung up in her respite block, and is willing to talk about it in private with people like Horuss as long as it stays private/in her past.

Cronus Nitram - He just can't choose! His fursona changes species almost every single time he draws it, and it rarely has the same design either. Every design he makes is pretty grand, and has a lot of elements to it that would be really kick ass to see utilized more than once, but he can't keep himself interested for too long, always trying to find himself and always feeling like hes failed. He's really into the general edgy-furry look, with a large focus on sharp teeth, guns, and trench coats. I don't imagine him a sonic furry, but I can see him REALLY liking Shadow the Hedgehog. He'd love to be Shadow, if he wasn't such an eager dork.

[ardate]

Oh, jumping in the ask game, if that's alright! Hm, what's a piece of media that you love but find it difficult to recommend to others, for whatever reason? Thank you! :)

WELL.

I didn't even have to think I immediately got slammed by Metalocalypse as soon as I read your ask LMAO

Listen, I've loved Metalocalypse for over a decade now (12 years or so?), it's a show I regularly go back to, it's a show that has one of the most prolific and long-lasting fandom despite a literal decade of nonexistent content. It's also a show I very much struggle to recommend to anyone bhGBh

The thing about MTL is that it is an early 2000s show from the american TV channel AdultSwim about a filthy rich and successful Death Metal band, and as expected it is full of edgy humor from that era. There are offensive jokes and storylines on a regular basis, especially in the earlier seasons. They range from somewhat palatable to so uncomfortable I straight up skip some episodes.

And yet it's also a show that, in spite of that, has a surprising amount of heart. What appeared like a basic serialized series about very idiotic privileged krillionaire metalheads ended up with an interesting overarching plot, a lot of character growth, found family, learning to care about things beyond yourself when you're a deeply selfish group of people... It evolved with the times and its audience, as it originally pertained to edgelord dudes but somehow found itself with a hugely queer, feminine and neurodivergent fanbase. They even made a convention episode with a big nod to shippers (where they featured actual fanarts from deviantart after reaching out and asking for permissions to the artists to put them in their episode, of course).

The journey is worth it, the characters grow on you surprisingly fast, and you end up caring very much about all of those assholes and cheer for them to get better. Interestingly, as the characters grow and mature it feels like you're witnessing the growth of the writers alongside them, or at least it feels that way to me. But also, my god, there are so many warnings to give about it before anyone can even watch it. There still are new people falling into that show to this day, but I do think it's probably getting more difficult as time passes because standards have very much risen regarding edgy and offensive humour and plots, as they should have.

Despite it all, I still love it.

[linddzz]

lol at your tags, I've been enjoying hazbin -- and helluva boss for that matter -- too, i don't think their reputations as edgelord are that warranted (not saying you're saying that, it's just a reason I don't post about it because it seems to have A ReputationTM so I'm just enjoying it without the drama). ive seen more swearing, more sexual content, and more casual violence in other adult cartoons. one of the main reasons I enjoy them actually is I think a lot of the heart and soul of these two shows is very obviously signposted, and not hidden under miles of cynicism, but I feel like a lot of people think the narrative is edgier than it is? + alex brightman appearing in THREE roles. keith david. stephanie beatriz. it's not for edgy audiences, it's for gay theatre kids who liked gravity falls back in the day is what it is

Oh I should clarify that 9 times out of 10 if I'm calling something Edgelord it's fully affectionate and also a big touch of playful nudging at The Self that I see reflected (tbh similar to my always calling my version of Dream a freak lunatic (affectionate)).

As someone who was an Edgelord on Deviantart in the early 2000s it's like an unexpected nostalgia blast for me. It's like. My god. Some mad fucker out there committed to that style and they went and made it fucking happen. They lived the Deviantart OC dream.

I love it, it's great, I can also VERY much see how the art can turn people off if it is not their thing lmao. I guess you could also say that me calling it the Edgelord Deviantart OC Cartoon is also a bit of IRL lampshading. Why yes I can see why people call it that. but also that is all the reasons I like it.

Also yeah I have fun and love talking about it with friends but I'm a pretty casual enjoyer. It and helluvaboss are my fun demon shows with music that slaps so hard and characters I really enjoy

(also as someone who uses "fuck" very casually and often has to go back and edit out some of the Fucks in my writing, I never got the "oh they think humor is just saying Fuck." There's a lot of cursing but it just sounds like uh...the casual way I curse. The comedy of Fuck isn't the bad naughty word it's how many different things can be communicated in a simple Naughty Word. I see you, people who see the comedy in saying "fuck" too much)

CAT CORCRA AG SCREADACH

[BTW- if you're an account that does NSFW/ Fetish content, I kindly ask for you to not interact with my work. Please don't take this the wrong way, I respect your interests, but I'm uncomfortable with that content and wish to not engage with it :] ] --- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" - Bex, 2024. For a cat knowing to be the one that screams a lot. You'd be surprised I didn't dedicate as much art to well, Bex screaming. BUT THAT CHANGES NOW! I actually had the idea of drawing Bex screaming on my mind for a good bit. I honestly had loads of fun making this as chaotic as I wanted it to be. I also kinda went with the look of it being a screenshot from an episode of TMM. Especially with going for a more exaggerated/ chaotic expression. What is it that's got Bex screaming? At this point, it's like a roulette on what IS scaring her, a spider? A ghost? Oneofherfriendsdead- COUGH COUGH WHAT I SAID NOTHING IN THAT LAST BIT. Like I said in a previous post about Bex (that kinda followed the same idea like with this drawing), she just can't catch a break at ALL. I swear this bundle of fear will have a happier, less stressed life down down the line. Also I realised while halfway through drawing this that the visual gag of Bex's bow exploding from fear/stress/distress is about to become a recurring thing. And honestly, I'm all here for it. I think it would make for some HILARIOUS funny moments in TMM. I like my funny visual gags that defy logic and no one acts like it's anything out of the ordinary. Can you tell my humour came from The Amazing World of Gumball and now is also apart of TMM's humour too. Also, I realised too that listening to emo and pop-punk music from the early 2000s/2010s and drawing Bex screaming go really well together. NOW I MEAN REALLY WELL. Watching the speedpaint of this and listening to something like "Kick Me" by Sleeping With Sirens or "Sarcasm" by Get Scared while watching it just brings me back to those edgy MLP/ warrior Cats speedpaints/PMVs from the 2010s that would use those songs as background music HA. TMM should've just been made in the 2010s and this is further proof of that. --- OK, I guess I should talk about the title of this drawing. If you were wondering what it is, it's in Irish! The title translates to "PURPLE CAT SCREAMING". I kinda wanna include more Irish in my posts/artwork as it is. I like speaking Irish, it's a very beautiful and unique language :] But also I can only include Irish in titles when there's no fadas because for SOME REASON DA doesn't support it. What's up with that DA? >:[

[choiraugur]

here are my notes on the abraxas trio keyblades btw :D

for kromers keyblade I knew that I wanted to do something resembling melting love or flesh idol because those abnos remind me of him so I put some flesh around a nail base (the nail just resembling her weapon in lcb) and then I was like I kinda wanna add a fire element but idk where or how. so there’s the fire handle variation but I’m not the happiest with it tbh….. after some thinking I was like I kinda also want its keyblade to be primarily white for the purity stuff but since I couldn’t figure out how to do that nicely I just put all the white on her character design. kromers keyblade isn’t my fave tbh- I like the nail base and the flesh being poked by it but it could be better. (im a lazy artist I just named it “nagel und hammer”)

sinclairs keyblade is so silly even before beginning the designing process I knew I wanted there to be tree branches (kinda like invis keyblade?) so I straight up copied his sinner art. his keyblade made me realize how much he fits into the world of kingdom hearts with the light and darkness conflicts he would have a blast im sure. I wanted the left side of the keyblade to look very lively to represent the “light” world and the right side is bleak and lifeless to represent the “dark” world. also the snake going for the apple on the right side I think is silly… the keyblade charm is a coin (: whole time I was like this is kinda just like way to the dawn conceptually

demians was sm fun to make because it’s so 2000s deviantart in essence I like it quite a bit. I associate scythes with demian because his whole “flick of the wrist” reminds me of the swing of a sycthe no? anyway the base is a snake bc im lazy, the shooting stars are there bc of demians constant connections to the stars in lcb, and. since his pendant looks like the gazing eye I gave his keyblade one bc of course he would have connections to the gazing eye. it was supposed to be in the shape of an egg too but the quality is so messed up I don’t think it’s really visible…. also. I tried to make the overall shape of the keyblade be in the shape of the mark of cain (I guess it works better in the scythe version…. the shooting stars on the left are supposed to aid in that). the handle isn’t the most exciting but eh it works. and I think he needs to have the edgy ass angel wing to go with it . Birds you understand

[the-unknown-void]

Because I am a cringey kid who's projected onto characters, I've spread 2000-2010's culture onto them..

Mitchell had an edgy wolf oc when he was very young- you know like, old DeviantArt sparkledog? Yeah that. He would've been into Warrior cats too.

Only Adrian knows about his edgy wolf oc, he would use it to "blackmail" Mitchell into doing things because Mitchell doesn't want anyone else to know.

You cannot argue with me on this. He could still have an edgy wolf oc in the 80-90's, I don't care.

[ihopesocomic]

I know u already did the mp analysis video but like... Honestly u could make an entire video on why hover sucks.

Some of the points brought up on this blog were very powerful and concerning ones. Ie hypocritically expecting nothing to support her while not offering the same, her belittling nothing's disability and abuse faced from her pride, and the most damning thing of all just straight up being okay with nothing dying? Despite joining the pride for her.

It really makes hovers big "redemption moment" devoid of any genuine emotion. She claims to all she loves nothing and this is supposed to be their coming out but... Its not. It really does read like abuser trying to convince their victim or the people around them that their desire to control and own their victim is love.

Itd be one thing if it were an ashfur type esque situation in which Hover does get called out imo the only way to start to salvage that whole plot point in the show, but i doubt itll happen.

Anyways reading the points made on the blog really emphasized how hover and her relationship with nothing never felt right to me.

Sorry for the long rant but you had some very good points and i have feelings on this.

If we hadn't talked about MP already for nearly 3 hours, a Hover-focused video would certainly be tempting.

The thing is that we've stated these points in the review and we've also stated them up and down the comments section of the review a dozen times. Hover fans still think we don't like Hover because of a single argument (which, let's be real, was still pretty shitty on its own?? lol) she had with Nothing.

Because this is what happens when you relate to a character to such an unhealthy degree. You take any kind of shade directed at them as an attack on your character and rather than idk just finding a better and more decent character to relate to, you're just in complete denial that you looked up to a character who is fundamentally a towering, uncaring bitch.

Hover actually serves as a fine example of how messed up the characterisation is in MP. She's presented as radically different from Nothing and her family so people automatically like her because she's a breath of fresh air. In reality, the reason she's radically different is because - basically - she's an unfunny edgelord character in the midst of characters we're meant to feel for and relate to, because we're meant to feel empowered by them. She doesn't fit.

In fact, this is how Hover started out: as an uncaring, aggressive edgy DeviantART OC from the late 2000s, where her crowning moment was throwing the c slur at Hobblestep (Nothing) for simply sharing her oxygen. Unfortunately, she was barely modernised in the rebooted series and this is why she comes across as an asshole. Her creator fell into the age-old trap of thinking that a character being a cool rebel comic relief means being a bitch to everyone in the vicinity. Including her girlfriend. It's a very common issue and is one I've fallen into in the past with previous works but ultimately realised it was a form of bad characterisation.

What's incredibly funny is that the creator tried to humanise Hover and tone her down later on… by having her not be a bitch and be sensitive with the WRONG characters. Like Farleap. She never criticises her for her treatment of Nothing once and, not only that, she sympathises with her and doesn't even bat an eyelid when she bitches about her dead girlfriend. What decent person does that? If anybody shit talked anyone I cared about if they went missing, I'd smack them in the mouth.

And this is why Episode 7 falls flat on its ass so heavily. It’s just trying to humanise Hover by… making her awkwardly bond with her girlfriend’s abusers and - scarily enough - actually making the audience feel they had legit chemistry. Which is all sorts of fucking yikes. lol - RJ

[egg-emperor]

I think I’m mixed on whether Eggman is more popular or not. On one hand I think he is since he’s talked about more and I see more fanart of him than in the early 2000’s, but then there’s a lot of misconceptions and wishing he was no longer the villains of games. He definitely was more popular when the 2010’s first started out. I remember a lot people happy to see him be the final boss again, but after the 2010 games began to lose favor people began associating him and him beinga finalboss withit

He is definitely more popular than he used to be, at least from my experiences. I've been a Sonic fan since Heroes and I've been looking up Eggman content online for years. Both Eggman haters and fans have always existed but he's become a more popular subject over the years as both sides have gotten louder. It's a good thing on the side of more people recognizing how great of a character he is, but not good for the way misconceptions and misinterpretations have become more prevalent.

I never saw a whole lot of talk and content for him but there was some on places like forums and fan sites, which was something. There was some great art on DeviantART and I found a couple of fics where he wasn't terribly written but that especially was very rare. Compared to the anthro characters, he's always been one of the more forgotten and ignored and that's still the case today, even if he is more popular than he used to be. Not too much has changed when it comes to classic/modern Eggman.

Unless I wasn't looking in the right places and you really had to dig for it, there wasn't a whole lot of Eggman related talk or content on most sites. Definitely not more than today, probably less. There was hate for him around that was easy to find, like misconceptions that still exist today, his mistreatment in fics, those that put him down compared to SatAM Robotnik and other villains, those that drew crude joke/hate art, those that redesigned him to be a young skinny anime boy or anthro, etc.

The 2010s is definitely where I started to see more talk and content for him arise. I did used to see more people that were happy that Eggman was the main villain again in games like Colors and Generations. But now so many wish he wasn't the main villain and they're somehow blaming him for recent final bosses being copies of the Nega Wisp Armor. They're also starting to get tired of him being the main villain because they favor the 'cooler' typical edgy and monster of the week villains.

It seems those that overlook and ignore his qualities have been much louder more than ever though, especially on Twitter as discussion of him that involves more hate than praise has been enough to get him trending two times within the past four months. As Eggman has gotten more popular over the years, the haters have sadly also increased and it doesn't help that the misconceptions that some hate him for have been supported by a certain piece of official media for a while now.

He still doesn't really have a whole lot of fans to defend him in comparison to those that hate on him, or at least the latter are the loudest and easiest to find. He's also always been much less popular than all the anthro characters and still is. And I mean classic/modern Eggman, not Boom and Jimbotnik, as I've found those tend to be the more popular versions in the fandom spaces I've been in. But even in 2021, while he is more popular than before and it's good, game Eggman still doesn't get as much praise and defense as I've always wished he would.

I always contribute as much as I can in my own way as he's very important to me as my favorite character ever! When people are shitting on him and spreading misconceptions, I'll always be one of the fans that appreciate and defend him as the brilliant character he truly is. 💜

[solradguy]

Hi hi hi who's your current favourite blazblue character

Hello :D I've only seen the anime and played BBTag so I'm sure this'll change as I get into more BB media but I really like Hakumen and Azrael so far. Hakumen's design is so COOL and Azrael's got this over confident bastard energy that I love. His back walk animation is 10/10 lol Taokaka is also pretty great but she isn't in BBTag and didn't get fleshed out very much in the anime :(

Ragna's also grown on me a little bit too. I thought he was gonna be super edgy/insufferable because he's a half-vampire protagonist with heterochromia (like every early 2000s DeviantArt OC haha) and a special super powerful weapon arm thing but he's written with a lot of flaws that do a really good job balancing him out, imo. He's not my number 1 favorite, but I wasn't expecting to like him much at all, to be honest

Deviantart stamps are interesting though, because the original purpose was profile decoration. Early stamps are pretty much what you'd expect for that purpose: basic identifiers (like "digital artist"), general interests ("I love cats"), or LOLrandom stuff akin to the content you'd see on like, those old button and sticker widgets you could add to your Myspace page back in the 2000s.

I would always look back at all of the masses of straight-up bizarre stamps with edgy controversial takes or ultra-specific opinions, and think to myself what is the appeal of putting this on your page? Who is going to put a stamp that says "shut up about Casey Anthony" on their page? Probably nobody.

But see, that's the point. DeviantArt is, well, an art website. You could always post journals, but they probably wouldn't be looked at by anyone except your own watchers. There's a forum, but most dA users don't use it. What's the best way to start a conversation about a specific topic, or just to rant? Stamps. You can put whatever dumb bullshit you want on a flashing red and black background and you can submit it to a million different groups so it can be seen by tons of people who want to argue with you. Deviantart stamps evolved into being used for very specific forms of communication and debate. So maybe you'll never see most of these on a page, but you'll definitely see them in someone's "opinions I agree with" favorites folder.

And of course this has resulted on dA stamps being a goldmine of hilarious and bad content, because dA's userbase primarily consists of some of the most socially inept people you'll ever meet online.

i think bloodclan is an interesting clan to think about not only bc its a change from how the 4 forest ones function but also the other ways it could’ve been written if there was the chance. i like the canon bloodclan they’re edgy and just. feel very much late 2000s deviantart emo self indulgent story you’d make when you’re like 12 or whatever but thinking about how else they could’ve been written is also fun. what if they acted more like a found family? instead of relying on fear to rule, scourge could have led bloodclan to help and protect others. or maybe even being a little bit scary to frighten away any troublemakers. like... “oh lets maybe not go to that twolegplace.. that street bc bloodclan is there/might find out” etc etc.

i just like to think of them as appearing very scary and there’s a lot of rumours of them (kinda like the rumours the kittypets used to say about the forest clans) but you meet them and they’re just a bunch of goodhearted cats looking out for eachother and supporting others who may not have the best life or chances or whatever. found family but make it a scary sounding bunch of emo cats who when you meet them are actually just kind and silly and like to help others. and if you need help from them then they won’t turn you away.
