a friend at a She-Ra discord server I'm in: *links your recent fic*/ me: AUNT ASY WROTE FIC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!! *clicks the link*/ fic: *is castaspella/shadow weaver fic/ me:...Now I have to go yell at her for being predictable. (so there you have it XD, I always love what you write even if it's not in any fandoms I'm in and I'm glad you're staying safe amidst this 2020 hellscape we are. Stay safe and sane Asy! you and your wife!

Yes unfortunately it is me, nearly-40-something-Asy writing middle-aged hot sexy villain fic. >:3 Sorry it’s not in your fandoms! I recommend watching She-ra, I’m extremely picky about cartoons but the characters in this one are well-developed and interesting!

And it’s such a compliment that people read what I write even when it’s not in their fandoms! XD

hello i just got the pack bundle with your catradora art that you made free and unfortunately due to how high the tax exchange dollar rate is vs my currency lately I could only afford to pay you one dollar, I'm sorry, if I could I'd have given you more bc I sincerely love the way you draw Catra

Hey no worries! I made it free because I knew that there were people who wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise. Thank you for supporting me how you can! I always get really happy hearing that people enjoy how I draw Catra. I always have some self-doubt on if my interpretation of her is good

[flamesfrenzied]

call out post to myself for enjoying your writing and your blog despite not shipping caustane: what did I expect when I saw you had written a Revenant/OC fic? IDK BUT IT WASN'T THAT now I have to read it bc my fucking morbid curiosity works like that and despite loving to hate Rev on Loba's behalf I DO like Revenant as a character so joke's on me!!! a Chaotic Mess recognizes another Chaotic Mess

Yess....yessss!!!! >:D i LOVE love love rev, and he is a total and complete piece of shit. i think it is important to grapple with and lean into it in order to retain his characterization. (IMO)

also FUCK dude i’m so sorry that my output is so slow and sporadic LOL i have your wonderful requests...right below this ask.....  dkfkklskkldsf (and have several darksparks WIPs because of course i do)...

thank you so much for nice words HAHA T_T<333 CHAOTIC MESSES HOORAY

[odiously-yours]

i sent a comment to your fic and now I'm sending an ask to say: I LOVE YOUR FICCCCC, I was bemoaning for decades what a good ship bellice would have been and you fed me and I love you for it!!! I shall religiously check for updates now, and as of now I'm following you. I didn't use tumblr in forever but now I gotta check every now and then to see what you're posting here!!!!

[simplykorra]

hi sorry to bother but I was scrolling thru my dash and I saw the Alexa Bliss post and I was like "ah yes a good heart warming wrestling adjacent post from one of my recently followed wrestling accounts" except not? it was you?? I've been following you for what? at least two years now??? and I only discovered you like wrestling now???? literally how did I never notice this???? wh— I'm in shock

I’ve been a wrestling fan for as long as I can remember - I only recently started posting about it here. I try not to post too much though, I don’t think most people follow me for that, lol. 

[bisexual-isabella]

i would like to congratulate you on your url, as a bisexual.... SUPPORTER I too think Bella is bi af (my personal hc to watching twilight movie specifically is that Bella is bi, Edward is gay and they're each other's beards additionally they're in an ace relationship)

cool, half the time im like ed/b is lesbian/gay solidarity and the other half im like otp 

the duality of man

victoriancuddler replied to your post “JTV isn't a full-blown telenovela, it's a hybrid of the telenovela and...”

you both are correct! as a latinx i choose to see it as a telenovela first and an americanized tv series second bc, well, jtv is quite a unique thing that i never experienced before as both a telenovela and american tv series viewer, but you guys are right and it absolutely is worth of critique if they do something wrong

It definitely identifies itself as a telenovela before anything else. But sometimes it feels like it does that to avoid critique, and it doesn’t help that nobody who writes professionally seems to want to critique it.

[blueonwrestling]

I'm new to wrestling so I don't understand much about what goes on backstage and the deals that make the show happen and I got not a single CLUE about what the issues you've brought up on your sideblog but I'm following cause I maybe I'll understand by osmosis lololol

haha, oh i’m just constantly looking at stuff on twitter and reddit and elsewhere, you’ll learn soon lol, and you’ll probably see more of my ramblings about stuff too.

hey aunt asy just wanted to thank you for being so vocal and open when it comes to Queer history and reblogging informative posts about it, as a 24yo bi (and non american at that) it can be disconcerting trying to piece together LGBTQ history, especially coming from a website that's extremely US centric, I stil have a very limited idea of the queer movement within my own country, but knowing about the history of the international movement helps piece some national events together

You’re most welcome! It really is super disconcerting how all the queer history and queer information we tend to see online is US-centric. However, I’m also not really sure what to do about it, because English-language internet is hugely dominated by US culture and US voices so…. yeah. 

Where possible, I try to reblog queer stuff that centres on my country, Australia, or other countries that aren’t the US. 

Something that’s really upsetting to me is that no one in Australia had a problem with ‘queer’ 4 years ago. It was a neutral word to describe the community. Since the rise of neo radfem anti-queer shit courtesy of almost wholly US folks all over English-language internet, that’s been seeping into Ausralia, too. 

I had a really upsetting conversation with the lovely receptionist at one of the locations I work at who is a younger gay man. I said something-something ‘queer’ and he’s like, “Oh, we probably shouldn’t use that word. It might offend people”. How did he hear that? On Facebook. 

Like, I am flat-out horrified not only such an inclusive, powerful word with a strong, inclusive, powerful history is being intentionally sullied by radfem bullshit, but that also that grossest, most toxic parts of US-centric culture has oozed its way out of the US and into MY culture and MY country and is now taking MY words. 

Queer history is mostly word of mouth. When we have young US radfems shouting over non-US people and intentionally spreading false information about our words and our history and acting like the US experience of being queer is the only experience…. dude, idk where we go from here. 

It’s just really sad. 

Anyway, this turned into a rant about how omnipresent US culture and people are on the internet and how that’s damaging and influencing culture in other countries.

as a new fan of DW I've been seeing a lot of old fans complain about 'hey wtf is Chibs doing, I thought they said this year was gonna be a new point for new fans to join, they haven't introduced or explained the doctor or x y z important plot point!' and I'm sure some of those claims have validity but before s11 I had ZERO Doctor Who context aside from "it regenerates" and "it has a companion" and I'm finding it actually a good start for my new sci-fi obsession so idk, it's working for me

Welcome to the fandom! Or at least this little here corner of the fandom where I try to maintain Good Vibes and chill. Nice Beau icon btw.

I’m always happy to hear how new fans are enjoying this series! I know a few people who are watching DW for the first time too and they seem alright with it so far. 

Obviously they don’t get the deeper implications of certain moments that long-time fans would e.g. why the Doctor warns her new fam about the dangers of travelling with her, why confronting a Dalek is a personal to the Doctor etc. But i don’t think it significantly hurts their enjoyment of the show. 

Honestly some “fans” are unhappy and just want reasons to complain. It’s human nature. We want to find people and ways to justify how we feel about something. Just like how I want to surround myself with people who enjoy the show, there are folks who want to surround themselves with negativity and feel justified in disliking it.

You don’t do a big project without research and I’ll be surprised if the people running this major franchise haven’t done focus group testing on what is or what is not working with new and existing fans.

hi HAVE YOU PLAYED THE NEW CHAPTER OF NADIA'S ROUTE YET??? IT SO GOOD

I HAVE IT WAS (almost) EVERYTHING I WANTED?? KICKING LUCIO’S ASS FOR NADIA?? life goals. BUT ALSO THE WHOLE THING COMING FULL CIRCLE AND NADIA STANDING UP FOR US??? binch i love this game so much lettiing nadia step on me was the best decision of my life

[isagrimorie]

i got seriously disapointed the new year special didn't get canonically framed like a crazy History Channel alien documentary, bc those voice overs were EXACTLY what made it seem like and I was always expecting to have a random human with a tv controller watching 13th hop around from place to place in the UK to kill a Dalek

Hee. That would have been something right? 

And, I know that Specials often use narrative voice overs but I can’t help but wonder too, if the voice narrating the story will be significant in series 12? 

I hope so. I hope they bring up the Order of the Custodians in series 12, since it seems like its an organization now or at least, maybe it’s a small organization comprised of the families of the Custodians?

hi just wanted to let you know I saw the gifset of Roman with the cute dog and I went "hold up is he rlly a beefed up dog trainer" but then I went to your blog and it was just wwe picspics n I went "is he a beefed up dog trainer AND a wrestler?" some googling and wikipedia later I fell onto the WWE rabbit hole, found out abt his leukemia, that he's okay n I'm here like.... okay I'm into wrestling now and the funny thing is I always wanted an excuse to check out wrestling 'n now u gave me one!

hi! omg this is amazing! now i’m glad someone got a hold of that post and made it go viral lol. i’ll probably come from a biased standpoint considering, but it’s true nonetheless; roman is just the most wonderful man and human being! also a badass in the ring! he’s what made me fall in love with wwe again after years of not watching and has just been a huge inspiration. and i’m sure you’ll end up falling in love with some of the other wrestle boys and girls too. this fandom can be crazy at times, but can also be the most fun! i’ve made a lot of friends here ^^
