Hello. This is a new account, created; I've had previous, but none were pursued to be fledged into Tumblr walls. Hence why I care little for people's assumptions on my authenticity.

Despite saying this, however, I am not an expert. I'm aware on how to reach people - through the use of reposts, tags, and pinned posts - but I' m not actively social. I skulk behind my screen and like what I favour, and ignore what doesn't appeal to me.

Anyway, onto the reason as to why this post has been published.

Yes, I shift realities. I have shifted, and will continue to.

I am a Law Of Assumption (L.O.A) user, and expectant Permashifter, who has been involved in the spiritual aspect of life since I was a child - though, I disconnected for a while and have recently found my way back onto the correct path.

But, why have I mentioned this?

Well, first and foremost, I would like to have mutuals. TikTok is up in the air at the moment, with the expected ban due in any day now, and ShiftTok was never really a.. comfortable place, shall we say. Don't even get me started on the bullshit 'shifting genetics' circulating right now. Nonetheless, this is an opportunity for myself, and others, to reach out.

Secondly, I would like to start building a platform. I see lots of people, shifters and non, on Tumblr and the communities they create through their posts. That's something of envy, for me; a connection to strive for through appreciation. If I had the opportunity for such experience (s) - which I do - then I will be embracing it.

Third, and final. Because I have been a member of the shifting community for now around five years (is it weird I feel old?..), I find it difficult to ignore the fact that reality shifting is still treated like an enemy, rather than something to befriend. This shouldn't be the case when shifting is a part of you; you are the missing piece to its puzzle. Have fun and thrive on that and, once it's done, you can stand up and see the full picture.

MY JOURNEY:

I discovered reality shifting in 2020, like most, during COVID-19; something which saved but simultaneously ruined my life. It was on TikTok, as expected, I came across a video of a girl claiming to have returned from 8 months at Hogwarts. Now naturally, I was confused and - albeit embarrassingly - assumed she'd stayed at the Universal Orlando Resort.. because, how else could she have been there? And despite me being spiritually inclined, I refused the idea of transcending the boundaries of reality. Now, this is where it gets a bit fuzzy.. I'm sure my brain has blocked out the process which occurred thereafter, as I cannot seem to remember anything beyond confirming that reality shifting was, in-fact, real. But, eventually, I seemed to accept that which didn't seem possible, and began my journey. I was fortunate to have friends - only a couple but they were friends all the same - involved along with me, and so together we helped, cried, and scripted our way through 2020 / 21.

Additionally, on my first try, I ended up partially shifting.

The last shift I experienced was around six months ago, when I shifted accidently to a parallel reality of my intended one. I haven't attempted since, but am now focusing on starting anew. I would really like to share my journey with y'all.

MY BLOG:

It has no direction. Of course, like I'd previously stated, there is maybe a little - reality shifting is a big part of my life. But I'd also like to engage in other areas ( w/ fandoms, moodboards, and writing). This isn't an N.S.F.W blog, but I'd prefer this to be aimed at 18+ as I am an adult.

D.N.I if you are an arsehole (anti-shifter, sexist, homophobic etc.).

❝ If you weren't ready you wouldn't have the opportunity; if you weren't capable, you wouldn't have the desire. ❞

Thank you for taking the time to read this post; even more thanks if any of y'all have interacted. Please feel free to comment, repost, or talk via my ask box.

I will be posting more content.

What are your thoughts on this sns-critical post?

https://www.tumblr.com/writingwhilequeer/672650382032437249/i-wish-i-saw-more-either-anti-naruto-or-critical

Hey anon!

Oh great, another moronic Sasuke stan with an extremely surface level understanding of Naruto's character that unsurprisingly doesn't quite understand Sasuke either lol at this point I'm so bored of their "arguments" on how Naruto is this terrible, selfish, obsessive narcissist forcing himself on Sasuke.

Anyway, let's go by bits

SJSJHSJKKHSH and I'm supposed to take this person seriously?

"I don't like what Kishimoto wrote because it doesn't add up to my completely made up idea of who this character is so I'll just ignore it" woah you could've just said you have no reading comprehension skills, same thing.

This argument that Sasuke never liked Naruto is so stupid because hello??? have you been reading the manga with the rest of us?

Sasuke's very first appearance is in the manga on the very first chapter before we even learn his name or who he is, is him looking at Naruto but Sasuke saying in ch. 698 he's always been looking at Naruto is out of character? please don't make me laugh, I can't take those wild claims seriously

We see the boys training just the two of them together all night, we see Sasuke leave dinner to check on Naruto, we see Sasuke blushing simply because he's walking next to Naruto, we see Sasuke defend Naruto from Sakura's nasty comments, we see Sasuke saying with his own mouth his body moves on his own to protect Naruto, mind you this is just what happens in the Land of the Waves arc, but ch. 698 is shitty flashbacks that we're now supposed to believe? what a moron

The whole land of the waves arc is basically stating that Naruto is Sasuke's precious person he wants to protect. That person is saying "Sasuke is PURE metaphor, you really have to pay attention to him to see what his deal is" but somehow missed the entirety of the first arc of the manga? You see how Sasuke stans who pride themselves as the smarter bunch of the fandom are actually incredibly stupid?

And this is just the first arc of the manga. Many other blogs have already written about how even after Sasuke left Konoha he still cared for Naruto to the point they call him a fake IDGAFER lol [LINK]

But let's keep going

Another sad case of a Sasuke stan projecting their politics onto Sasuke and expecting something Kishimoto never promised. Like okay, just rambling here.

Yeah, Naruto wants to be acknowledged by Sasuke, that's never been a question, he literally states it waaaaay earlier in the manga because that's the theme of the fucking manga omfgggg.

Now this stan is either being dishonest and obtuse on purpose or is just straight up a dumbass. Sakura and Naruto's pursuit of Sasuke is not the same, and the fact that they cannot recognize how Kishimoto is contrasting the connection both have with Sasuke is just baffling. It's not an accident, Kishimoto wants us, the readers, to compare Sakura and Naruto's feelings for Sasuke and see how shallow and superficial Sakura's are compared to Naruto's unconditional and authentic love for Sasuke, hence why Sasuke reacts so differently to both of them (even if it pisses off this stan that Sasuke is receptive of Naruto's actions and words lmao).

Sakura doesn't understand Sasuke because she doesn't want to, she just wants a perfect boyfriend and wants that boyfriend to be the boy all the other girls in class had a crush on because that'd make her look better.

Naruto, on the other hand, understands Sasuke, they're both orphaned outcasts of society, Naruto eventually loses people he loves that allows him to understand the pain Sasuke went through, he even calls out Itachi on his bullshit for all the pain he put Sasuke through but yeah he's this selfish, obsessive asshole...

Yeah, the reason why those headcanons this person made up in their mind don't happen in the manga is because they're that, headcanons. Their idea of who Sasuke is as a character is completely different from canon Sasuke and instead of accepting they just want to play dolls with Sasuke because idk I guess they find him cool? They're antagonizing Naruto, Kishimoto and the fandom, like baby just accept that the shit you made up isn't real instead of claiming ch. 698 is an OoC writing of Sasuke and Naruto is aCtUaLly the real villain lmao.

Also, I wonder what this person thinks the themes of the manga are to think that if the complete opposite had happened it would be better??????? If Kishimoto is writing a manga where the main theme is acknowledgement, how the fuck is Sasuke not acknowledging Naruto embodying the themes better? like what??? This person thinks they're analyzing Naruto (both the character and the manga) but they're straight up writing a fanfic here.

"This story would be better if the author had written the complete opposite because that's what I wanted" <- This is the laziest literary criticism you could give and THANK GOD naruto fans don't write the manga.

Sasuke stans are really mad Naruto didn't want to see Sasuke leave Konoha to go to a GROOMER and then become a renegade that was SENTENCED TO DIE for committing several crimes (that he begged Sasuke would be forgiven for) and was basically SELF-HARMING with the whole "I need to kill those who I love so I can succumb to darkness". Like woah, Naruto you're such a prick. Sasuke stans just heard Sasuke say "Revolution!" and kinda forgot (or deliberately ignore) that he's actually in his most self-destructive state and is Naruto who helps him get out of that.

The thing is Naruto's not selfish so no one can give you a serious analysis that depicts him as such. He's just another orphaned traumatized boy who is trying to save his friend from darkness, there's nothing selfish about that. Of course sometimes Naruto didn't always have the perfect tools to aid Sasuke, he even acknowledged this himself (like the Kage Summit arc is right there), but that's because he's just 12-17 years old. Sasuke himself didn't handle the best way his own trauma either but that is okay too. These two boys are young, naturally they'll be emotianlly immature but on top of that fictional characters don't have to (and should not) be perfect, that'd be pretty boring.

Also, notice how this person said that Sasuke was assimilated and brainwashed into serving Konoha but didn't give Naruto the same grace even though he went through the same because then their headcanon of Naruto being this absolute asshole wouldn't work anymore, hilariously pathetic honestly.

Anyway, that was one of the most mediocre analysis I've ever read

[ask-philgraves]

Just posted on my main blog ( @maxisanangrywell ) about the whole situation with Ghostslollipop. This will be the absolute LAST thing I have to say about her, period.

I stand by my previous statements that I have NEVER sent hate towards her. I sent two asks, BOTH of which I have tagged this specific blog so she knew it was me. I would NEVER stoop so low as to send people hateful content in their inboxes, especially since I myself, have been bullied and heavily abused my ENTIRE life. I know what it's like to be kicked onto the ground and ran out of a social media platform because that has happened to me many times over the course of my stay here on the internet as a whole.

I don't have to prove how kind I am, or that I wouldn't do shit like she is claiming. The internet will believe what it wants, and I REGRET not screenshotting my asks I sent her, so I can further prove she is the one that blew up on us first for little to no reason at all and is now dragging us through the mud because she wants her five seconds of fame.

I use fucking Grammarly, because I did flunk out of school, and I don't know how to spell certain words like Resturant, or where to put the comma because I also have a fucking Traumatic Brain Injury from a car accident three years ago.

I only have these two blogs, and another side blog that is PRIVATE because I post my collages and art shit on there privately. I can't link it even if I wanted to. These, for all intents and purposes, are my only fucking accounts.

I did reach out to her. Once to see if we could try to change the coarse language she used in her original post so a Minor wouldn't get more death and rape hate from people who supported her view, a SECOND time to apologize privately, and a THIRD time to publicly apologize and ask her to join an open discussion about how we can stop tag hogging and make the experience of the fandom better so the front page isn't all Ask blogs.

She repaid all of this, to send me a DM falsely accusing me of sending hate to her, and then attempting to run a smear campaign in a now deleted post that was filled with hypocrisy, hate, malice, what I presume Jealousy, and over all fucking ignorance.

I don't mind other opinions at all. In fact, I said ANY fan fiction artist whether you draw, paint, write or whatever, has a problem, you are MORE than welcome in my DMs or ask box or to tag me in a post containing criticism of things we can do better.

I won't allow a fucking ignorant person ruin my name, my friend's names, or spread their ignorance because they won't simply fucking communicate like an adult and want to spread half -truths and lies.

I stand by what I said, @ghostslollipop. Take my apology, and shove it up your fucking ass. I refuse to apologize to someone, or show them respect they are not giving anyone in return. Delete your posts and leave the ones bashing us, that's fine. I NEVER had a problem with what you said, just how you implied it and the tone you used because your actions have consequences just like the rest of us.

We have owned up, We have checked our community. Ourselves. You have continued to keep throwing fuel on the fire while we're trying to rebuild and anyone with eyes can see that. You're destroying your own mental health and your own space by claiming ignorance and pointing fingers at everyone while taking 0 accountability for yourself.

I genuinely hope your mental health gets better and in the future you can reflect on this and become a better human being, because this shit right here? This tells me you're hopelessly toxic, and angry. Angry enough you are willing to take it out on other people then claim ignorance.

I'm done speaking about you, you've had your fame on my blog. You and your friends can continue sending hate my way, but that just proves you're desperate and grasping at straws to try and make me, a person who has been nothing but cordial to you, into a villain. That's fine, I've played a villain role before. You aren't going to run us out of the community, you're going to end up making yourself look more like an idiot than you already have.

Take my name out of your mouth and I'll offer you the same courtesy.

As for now on, I don't want a single fucking peep about Ghostslollipop on anyone's blogs. I don't want anyone talking about this ever again. Let her stew in her own anger like a dying flame drowning in wax. If anyone does, beyond this point, I will not be interacting with you in any way, shape, or form.

This is Cassie, angrily signing off.

[mehiwilldoitlater]

hai, this is my first time request in your blog,

May i've headcannon for Sun wukong x swan princess s/o (because I saw a post about them in your blog ) please.

This will be so romantic ❤️

Most of these headcanons are based on a modern setting! Mostly because it's funnier:

-Living together was one of the first things that these two wanted to do, mostly because they wanted their own privacy (small monkeys excluded) and mostly because they knew that they still knew how to live together as a couple. Of course they needed to make some setting rules, and, as much as some would not believe, Wukong was the one that came up with a cleaning schedule. The job changes every week, so no one can complain about "doing the same things over and over," which is quite helpful. Usually, they cook together!

Once she opened the door, the smell of frying meat met Odette's nostrils.

The view of a certain monkey moving around the kitchen was quite the view, even if it broke her heart a little.

"I'm back! Sorry I'm late; I met traffic in the subway!"

"How did you meet Traccif in the subway?" He laughed, moving his hand in the air. "No worries! I'm almost done here. Want to help me with the veggies?"

After discarding her coat, she tied her hair in a ponytail, putting herself to work.

-Date could be on common ground or be something that the other loves or would have loved to do, and the other is so in love to say no. Of course they have some lines that are better not to be crossed (not to be forced to partake in something that could remind them of some traumatic experience since both of them need a lot of therapy).

No one said that they could not complain about the activity, but never to the point of putting the date on the wrong mood. Then, we had the yoga accident…

They both sit in silence, one far too angry to speak to him, the other quite embarrassed to bring the argument on.

"…Do you really need to scream from the top of your lungs?" Odette finally spoke.

"She said to let all of our negative thoughts out of our mind!"

-If they argue, which can happen, not so much but can, they can stay for hours in silence in the same room, ignoring the other for no one knows how long. Despite being the rational one, Odette too had enough pride to not let her good heart be swayed by giving him right on something on which he was clearly wrong, and Wukong? Well, he's Wukong! He'll never apologize!….If he's sure that he's not the one to blame, of course.

The only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall. Odette sat on the sofa, Wukong just on the complete opposite side. They avoided making any sound, any eye contact, or any possible thing that could make them talk. Her nails ticked like the clock on the sofa surface; Wukong's tail swayed like a snake.

"…I'm sorry if I overreacted." He finally said, moving his hand up. "I didn't mean for us to fight like that… and I'm sorry I had said something that had hurt you."

"…" She didn't speak, but she started to at least look at him.

"It's just…I really can't control myself…I still have issues."

"…I know you have them… and I appreciate your apology…"

"…Thanks…"

"……But I still think Gordon shouldn't let Michael leave Hell's Kitchen."

"SERIOUSLY—"

-Wukong loves Odette; that's a matter of fact. With her, it was the first time in his life that he didn't know how to talk or how to be a little smartass. He loves that fire in her, how elegant and yet so fierce she can be. He loves the fact that, given up, it seemed the easy way out; she still holds on to her pride and didn't give up at all. She is strong and intelligent, and he would literally move the moon for her... he did it once.

"I'm ridiculous."

"I think you're lovely…" she smiled, leading the small dance they had on the rooftop of the building. His height never was a problem for him, but trying to dance surely shows some cons from it.

"I can't even look at you properly!"

"Is the mighty Monkey King having height issues?" She smiled, making a quirky remark. He twitched his eyebrow, touched by that comment, then he smirked. In one movement he was able to swing Odette, holding her in a dip. She gasped, holding herself on him to not fall down on the cement.

"Now," he smirked, "I can enjoy the view!"

-Odette loves Wukong not only because he saved her, but also because he showed that he cared. All her life she was forced to accept the fact that she was supposed to marry the prince, who noticed only one trait of her (her beauty). Wukong not only noticed firstly how she really was but also what she could have been. She grew closer to him than she ever was with the other. To Odette, Wukong is the sun, who came to put some light in her life and give her a second chance, and she loves him for that. She supported him from the beginning and always did, and tried her best to be the reasonable voice of the two.

Her finger caressed his head, her nails slowly scratching his scalp, resulting in a small sound coming from his strong chest. He was purring; he allowed himself to do it only alongside his friend and her… she blushed, thinking how cute that was. She gently kissed him again, feeling a twitching under her lips.

"Are you awake?" she whispered; only the golden color from his irises responded to her.

She giggled, allowing herself to give him another kiss, which he followed immediately.

Will, Mike and Henry

Long post, sorry. There’s so much to talk about!

Spoilers on Fringe, The Dark Tower and Back to the future. 

Also warning: dark and heartbreaking theory on Will and Lonnie.

One of my theories is that Mike is actually Marty McFly (BTTF), not Will. Will is Doc Brown, and also Peter Bishop (Fringe). And the story we are seeing is about timelines more than actual parallel worlds. 

Time is the key. Will is the key. And I think it’s possible that the story is a loop, so there are different timelines. Will’s very existence could be the heart of the story 

1.  BTTF: Mike has more parallels with Marty than Will

I know, Will’s outfit in S1, his name on the grandfather clock and the Forever Clock in S3. But maybe that would be too obvious.

If you think about it, Mike is the one who’s always late, like Marty. He’s the one associated with letters (Marty saves Doc by warning him about his murder in a letter). And he seems to know things others ignore, like Marty when he’s in 1955. The difference is that Mike doesn’t know why he knows those things.

So, if Mike is Marty, but Will is the one connected to clocks, imo it means that Will is Doc. And we know what happens to him. The story begins with Doc’s death and ends with Marty saving him. I think it’s possible that the same thing happened to Will. If there is an original timeline, maybe Will died. And if it’s true, I think it was Lonnie who killed him. 

I was reading Heroesbyler’s post on him (the next two screenshots are from their blog) Yeah, Lonnie could definitely kill his child. Maybe it was an accident, but I can see the scene. Try to be a man! Stop crying! Then he chokes him and throws his body in the Quarry.

In all his scenes there’s something creepy. In one, he makes a comment on the Evil Dead poster, where a monster is choking a woman. The very next scene Mike complains that his father is choking him. 

Either this means that Lonnie got violent with Will and then convinced him not to tell Joyce, or it’s a hint of what really happened in the original timeline.

If this was true, Hopper’s line would also be a hint: 99 times out of 100 the kid is with a friend or relative...

Like someone else said (sorry, I don’t remember who it was!) we could be in the 1 time out of 100. Like Joyce said. ST timeline is the one where Will’s alive. Brought back by time manipulation. So he kinda is a time traveler.

Imo, it’s not a coincidence that he and Jonathan are listening to Should I stay or should I go when Joyce is arguing with Lonnie about Will. Or that Jonathan is listening to it again, when he thinks Lonnie could be involved in what happened to Will.

I keep thinking about Will singing when Mike hears him:

If I go, there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double

If he goes (dies) there will be trouble (his family and friends will suffer)

And if he stays (the timeline where he doesn’t die) it will be double (the villain needs him, so if he’s alive, the whole world is in danger, and everyone will suffer)

Well. I don’t even know if I want this to be true, tbh. It’s so heartbreaking. Poor child. Maybe this is just about him thinking that, if he dies, Henry can’t use him. I don’t know. Maybe.

But who did alter the timelines and create this loop? I don’t think it was Mike. I think it was Henry. When, exactly, I don’t know. But if he has time powers maybe Will does have them too. It’s Doc Brown who invented the time machine, right?

Anyway, Will being both the boy who came back to life and Zombie Boy would make even more sense.

And this makes me think of the second big parallel. With Peter Bishop

2. Fringe. Will and Henry are both Peter

In S4 there are many parallels with Fringe. But Henry’s fake name, Peter, is the most interesting. And the fact that in the store where they buy the guns there are the name Peter and a big key... Peter-Henry and Peter-Will and what happened to them is the key. The mystery that needs to be solved.

In Fringe, seven year old PrimeWorld!Peter dies, but his father Walter can’t accept his death, so he travels to a parallel world, takes the other Peter, and in doing so, the portal he opens causes devastating consequences (god, I love these two so much)

The solution: they erase Peter, because his very existence is causing the end of the world. But after he’s been erased by The Machine, he mysteriously reappears in a lake. Why? Because Olivia, the woman who loves him and also has powers, can’t forget him. Her love is too strong.

So, PrimeWorld!Peter was buried. But then Walter took Alt!Peter.  Alt!Peter got erased, but then came back. So Peter is also a boy who came back to life

And Henry too was “buried”. Henry, Will, Peter.

In S2 Joyce asked what would happen when her boy is gone. And the ST account posted a video on IG in 2017 where Will disappears from the photo like Marty McFly. 

Something about altered timelines. People forgetting about him. Mike always being late... but why? What couldn’t he stop?

And why a loop?

I’m not sure. Maybe the story keeps repeating itself because nobody wins, so Henry changes things everytime? Something else?

For now, I just found hints that there could be a loop. And there are many 

Mike. He is sure about things, as if he’s already lived them, but doesn’t know why. It feels like he’s having deja vu. Maybe he’s like Olivia in Fringe, who could remember Peter even after he was erased. Maybe Mike’s love for Will makes him more aware of the dangers. Because in his heart he knows/ remembers that something horrible happened to Will.

Other things: The Neverending story, the Forever Clock. Max mentioning a loop in the Creel house (she’d want to have a longer loop). El being stuck in a loop at the Nina Project. Characters saying things like: This isn’t real, these things aren’t real, this doesn’t make sense. Should I stay or should I go. Nancy’s your timeline is wrong in S2. Mike saying to Will maybe all this is happening for a reason. Suzie calling the plot with the Russians absurd. Like, if the story is repeating itself, it makes sense that it gets weirder and weirder. Bob saying This is the future! about his camera (Doc Brown’s camera)  And Will also saying: I have seen into the future!  Maybe because all this has already happened

The rose could be a reference to The Dark Tower, a story about a loop (connected to The Talisman) and where the villain is defeated with the help of an artist who has the ability to draw pictures that become or alter reality. 

So, a rose in the house of the one person with time powers, who hates the very concept of time...

Speaking of Henry, there are definitely many Henries in the rainbow room. At least four. And what he says, I think it’s important:

Each life a faded, lesser copy of the one before

Maybe he’s just talking about people doing the same things until they die. But this can also describe what happens in a loop. Events repeating themselves to the point they almost don’t make sense anymore. And people who are stuck, unable to move on, can lose their minds (thinking about all the references to asylums and sick people) Also, parallel worlds are not lesser copies. They’re just almost identical worlds. Faded, lesser... makes me think that there is One World, and all the others are copies. Maybe timelines that have been altered.

After that line, when Henry says that people just eat, reproduce and die, there is an echo. I thought it was just to emphasize his monologue. But it could be all the Henries saying the same things at the same time. 

I’ll make an analysis on that too soon! This post is already too long, lol

[villainsandvictimsalliance]

Growing up I never understood why the road to hell was paved with good intentions. Good thing art is such a big part of my life, because I didn't learn that lesson from experience, but through fiction.

The lesson in question is that your intention alone is worth very little. I'm not saying here that good intentions are utterly worthless, 'cause hey you didn't mean to. However, the consequences of your actions can't be erased or reverted just by the cry of "This is not what I wanted to happen".

Now, I'm very aware that I'm writing this post on a bnha blog. You might ask: hey Shan, what does it have to do with anything?

I just want you to think about how bnha plays with the intentionality of the characters vs the consequences of their actions. Forget for a while that you know those characters at all and study them on the basis of what they wanted to do and what they ended up doing.

Example A:

Nana Shimura gave Kotaro Shimura in adoption when he was still a little child.

While she intended to keep him from being hurt by AFO and while she did it out of love and care for her son, her abandonment traumatized him. She left him with a letter to excuse herself and Kotaro grew up knowing that her mother would rather go to save strangers than stay with him.

In consequence, Kotaro was unable to trust in the system of the Hero Society. He became a sad, bitter man with a lot of repressed anger and self-worth issues. He ended up pouring all those thoughts poisoning him into his role as a father and started abusing his kids.

Kotaro had good intentions: he didn't want his kids to become like Nana. He didn't want them to abandon their own families for strangers and act like it was a selfless act of love, instead of a cowardly act of selfishness.

In turn, Tenko Shimura grew up in a house full of abuse and repression. He didn't understand why his dad got so mad whenever Tenko said he wanted to be a hero. No one ever explained it to him. He kept on resisting the rules his dad had set, causing the punishments to become more and more severe.

At the age of 5, Tenko's quirk manifested and reacted to the accumulation of hurt and anger within him. Being a kid and as it was usual in the bnha world, Tenko couldn't control either his quirk or his emotions: the outburst killed most of the Shimuras. Unprepared to deal with the situation, when Tenko reached for Kotaro —his dad— to help him, Kotaro hit Tenko in the face and told him to stay away. It was a familiar gesture between them. It further triggered the kid, tho. Tenko killed Kotaro in his blind fury.

Tenko was now alone, confused, in distress and severely traumatized.

The perfect state for someone to groom him and manipulate him into becoming a weapon.

I don't doubt Nana loved Kotaro and that Kotaro loved Tenko. In fact, if Nana and Kotaro hadn't loved their sons, they wouldn't have reacted the way they did. Both identified a threat (AFO or the Hero Society) and decided for a course of action that would "keep their children safe and sound".

If good intentions were enough, the Shimuras would still be alive, right?

Here's another saying: "ignorance is not excuse".

We have three generations who inflicted great damage on the people around them. A pro-hero, a common man and a villain. The only difference is that Tomura is the least hypocrite of them all: he intended to cause damage right from the start. He was being manipulated by AFO, of course, but he never ignored how his actions impacted other people and he never claimed to be innocent.

Was Tomura right / morally correct? Nope. That's not my point.

What I'm trying to say is that some actions can't be forgiven/erased on the basis of intention alone. This simple fact is one of the side themes of bnha. Pro-heroes cannot be ignorant because there'd be no excuse for their wrongdoings. No matter how much they want to do good, if they hurt people by accident, they still would have to answer for it or well, deal with the consequences themselves.

Example B:

Although Enji, Touya and Shouto's intentions were very different, they all caused (different levels of) damage with their actions.

Shouto recognized that his cold behaviour was having a negative effect on others. He didn't want that, so he became more aware of how he interacted with others.

The entire world got caught up in the middle of Touya's revenge mission. Dabi knew very well he was affecting a lot of people and he knew to what extent his actions were hurting others. He still thought he was willing to pay the price for it, meaning he didn't intend or not to hurt those people in the first place. In order to make Enji's life hell, everything was allowed.

Finally, Enji's journey goes from him being very ignorant on how his actions affected his kids to him realizing just how deep he had fucked up. It was a matter of admitting he had the chances to not do what others told him was wrong, but he still did it 'cause (like Touya) he thought that the end justified the means.

Even if his intentions were different, he turned the blind eye to the damage he was causing.

And like these there are many other cases in the story. Do you remember that time Inko called out All Might on Deku's safety? Or even when Deku left on his own because he wanted to keep his classmates safe? Do you remember Overhaul and his intention/motive? What about Aoyama?

The fact that they didn't mean it doesn't mean that they weren't wrong for doing it. That simple fact is instrumental to define what differentiates Deku's hero style from his predecessors.

Like I said, go back, re-read the story and decide what you want to think about it, okay? Right.

Hello,

Ive been following you for years and I love your blog. In all my years on this website I have never posted, sent an ask or a message, commented or interacted with anyone on this website in any way. However seeing your recent posts about Palestine made me feel like I had to say something.

Just because you support the “weaker” side, it doesn’t make you immune to lies and propaganda.

Please educate yourself before you spread misinformation and/or misleading info.

I am a citizen of Israel. This conflict started when Hamas brutally murdered hundreds of innocent civilians, including elderly and children. They kidnapped over a hundred more. They are known for being a terrorist organisation whose stated goal is to murder jews.

I am terrified. My people are forever scarred. I and everyone I know have lost loved ones in this war. And the fact that people like you in these terrible times choose to focus solely on the suffering of the Palestinians, ignoring and justifying our suffering, speaks volumes.

The bombings you speak of, are a retaliation for the slaughter of October 7th. Israel warns citizens in advance, in order to prevent as many casualties as possible. But we cant just ignore the murder, kidnapping, rape and harm to our people like you do. We have no choice but to defend ourselves.

We have no interest nor desire to commit genocide against the Palestinian people. If we did, we would have already done so. Instead we financially support Palestine, despite the fact they use this money not to better their lives, but to instead attack our civilians.

Beware of misinformation like the accusations against Israel for bombing the hospital in Gaza. That is a straight up lie that was proven false, and the Hamas spread it along with lies about how many people got hurt, in order to convince people like you that they are justified. And its working.

Before you accuse others, maybe check your own biases and think to yourself why a Palestinian life is worth something to you and an Israeli one isn’t.

Can you even imagine what it feels like to go online after such a tragedy for a little relief, only to see people like you calling for my death?

And yes, that is what you’re doing by supporting and encouraging the actions of Hamas. An organisation that cares more about killing innocent civilians like me than protecting its own people.

I hope that if you can’t take the time to properly understand this complicated situation, you will at least stop talking about something that you clearly don’t understand.

You know, I put all of this in a private post initially. I've been largely focused on spreading charity posts, actual concrete things that can be done to save the innocent people caught in the crossfire. But clearly, my message has been mixed, so I'll define it right here.

This is just something that seeps into my bones and I had to say it somewhere: the sheer refusal by both sides to admit what they're doing. Oh, we thought that music festival was soldiers....wait no we didn't, it was random Gazan civilians who did it instead, not us, hurt them instead. Oh we are going to wage all out war....no those innocent civilian casaulties weren't us, it was them! (No, the cause of the explosion has not been independently proven. It has, however, been proven that Israel shelled the place three days earlier as a "warning" then called ordering an evacuation shortly before.) Put down an evacuation order so short and so sudden the UN protests that civilians can't possibly get out in time, then bomb one of the convoys. Tell your countrymen the evacuation order was fake so you get more human shields. More rockets! More airstrikes! More "accidents" to the tune of hundreds of civilians dead, and you never have to carry the burden or the blame for any of it. Shoot from far enough away, target enough civilians, makes it easy, makes it fun. The glory of war with none of the guilt and none of the risk! Ain't that a wonderful thing. Ain't that a fucking joke.

I grieve for the innocent Israeli citizens slaughtered because Hamas cowards wanted to kill the defenseless. I grieve for the people in Gaza getting slaughtered because neither side cares if they live or die. The difference between the two is not that one life is worth more than the others. That is morally repugnant and fundamentally absurd. The difference is that Israel is getting aid from many nations, while other nations only give aid to Hamas, not the people of Gaza. They need humanitarian aid, they need someone to speak for them and beg for restraint, which is why I'm primarily reblogging posts that call for humanitarian aid to them and for a ceasefire so they can, at the very least, have the evacuation time they should have been allowed. It is not because their lives are worth more, but because to far too many, their lives are worth less.

I understand your pain and fear, and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I too find those rooting for Hamas or declaring that the victims deserved it for being settlers repugnant. But the people of Gaza did not do this, and if it's a choice between them living and Hamas dying, I will choose their lives every time. I will always choose life. And I refuse to apologize for that. Violence like this is a cycle, revenge and revenge and revenge again because you cannot kill an idea with bombs, only keep destroying until nothing is left to fight over. You cannot stop a cycle by continuing to spin.

RIDERS OF BERK | HTTYD SERIES | BREAKING DOWN HICCUP

Blog Post Series: Breaking Down Hiccup

Title: Breakneck Bog

Ep/Season: Episode 17, Season 1 (Riders of Berk)

Premise:

Hiccup and gang set out to the mysterious, maybe even dangerous Breakneck Bog in search for something once lost.

CHARACTER DISCUSSION

HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK III

(1) THE FILIAL SON

Stoick, Gobber, Hiccup, Thornado and Toothless go on a journey to find Trader Johann who is late and carrying a parcel on his ship Stoick really wants. When the mission fails, Hiccup decides to venture out on his own, to retrieve the lost treasure for his father.

Stoick didn't tell Hiccup that the treasure was actually a gift from his mother, knowing that if Hiccup knew that, he would've gone out of his way to get it back. However, what Stoick probably didn't bank on was the fact that Hiccup would do anything for him, regardless.

note: I need to get me one of those Berk crested satchels. Looks like it can carry a lot.

Of course, Astrid will come to find out about it and because our boy here cannot lie to the girl he likes, he told her everything. Well, that and more because, Astrid reads him like a book.

(2) UNHEEDED WARNINGS & STUBBORNNESS ISSUES

It felt like the running theme of the episode was unheeded warnings. Hiccup decided to find Trader Johann, even though it wasn't his father's wish for him to handle the operation on his own.

Snotlout got everyone to join the expedition despite being warned to keep the scout-group small.

And the decision to go into Breakneck Bog itself was stubbornness disguised as adventure.

It's so funny how Hiccup has no control over his group sometimes. No, sorry, its hilarious.

TRADER JOHANN

I open this question to the floor, do you think this incident was planned by Johann or did he really suffer an accident?

I mean, what are the odds that a valuable item to Stoick and Hiccup would be found on his ship the day he just had to pass Breakneck Bog. Do you think Johann planted it? I mean, it's not uncharacteristic of an evil mastermind to do so.

But that would mean, he knows them scarily well and planned to get rid of the riders this way.

Why I ask this question is because he was found on a plank, stranded in the middle of the ocean. We don't see any other ships or people nearby to help him. Did he really go that far to disguise his disloyalty?

Again, it wouldn't be uncharacteristic of him to do so. But still, no one can fault the dude for his dedication. Or acting.

THEME, MESSAGE & STORYLINE

"Most people are afraid of things because they don't understand them. For me, it was dragons. Then one day that changed, and my greatest fear became my best friend." - Hiccup

Just like Breakneck Bog and the elusive Fog Monster, there was great fear in the unexplainable. However, when the "cover" is blown and what was suppose to be scary ended up being nothing but a facade, we truly see where fears lie, in ignorance of truth.

A fear of dragons was the downfall of the village, until they started understanding them. Then they realised, like Hiccup did, that dragons were just like them. Scared, nervous, strong, independent.

That was also Valka's message which we learn in HTTYD 2. I liked this episode because it combined all my favourite bits of the show. The heartwarming family values, the bond of friendship, adventure and their overarching lesson, that you don't have to be afraid of the things you can't yet understand.

The episode is shrouded in mystery, i.e., Breakneck Bog, the Lost Treasure, the Fog Monsters. But the best part about it is how it is uncovered. And what "treasure" means to someone, is completely how we attach value to it.

Further, inasmuch as you can hate on Snotlout or be annoyed with the twins, you can't help but know that as a group they work well together and they will be there for each other.

In terms of comedic timing and pacing, this show definitely hits as one of the better ones. It's a mix of adventure, humour, family - in essence, what the entire franchise is about, but as a series it was a lovely bite size piece to enjoy.

PERSONAL FAVOURITE MOMENTS

A) EVERYONE UPSET THAT THEY HAVE A CONSCIOUS

B) HICCUP'S SIDE EYE WHEN SNOTLOUT CALLED ASTRID'S GRANDFATHER STUPID

C) A SCARED FISHLEGS OFFERING HICCUP HIS MOTHER

D) SNOTLOUT CALLING OUT JOHANN

Given Snotlout's distrust, he is actually someone who calls Johann out constantly. One thing Hiccup does fail to discern is the true nature of people. Which is a flaw that leads him to most of his problems.

E) ASTRID AND HICCUP'S HERO POSE

[mdhwrites]

How sick are you of the "TOH season 3 was bad because of Disney" argument?

I feel bad that I've been talking about the shortening as much as I have lately and this ask feels like a part of that. XD It's probably the one thing that the troll from a bit ago really got under my skin with and what seemed to piss them off the hardest. The idea that I was 'blatantly ignoring the circumstances' that led to the problems in the show.

But frankly, I just don't hear the argument being used much anymore. That might just partially be because at this point, I feel like I see more Amphibia art than I see Owl House art on my timeline because... Who is really defending this show at this point? It seems like even die hards are glancing back and fidgeting about it, like that person who I reblogged about the glyphs. That was a decently popular post for something that should have been controversial considering how theoretically important the glyphs are to at least the branding of the show.

S3 in general seems to have left a really bad taste in people's mouths and it's not hard to see why. When you had two and a half hours of content to give your story a proper bang of a finish, even if you can't make it all cohere thematically or the like, you should be able to do SOMETHING. That's WAY longer than most movies and TOH didn't have to do the first two act of establishment that most movies need to do. They had their players, they had their villains, they had their stakes and they never have to find an answer on their own to the Collector or Belos so they effectively already had their solution. They were setup to have payoff after payoff after payoff.

But I made an entire blog about how S3 could never have been great... Because what was there to payoff? Beating Belos is about the ONLY thing S2 left for the cast to do, especially once the second special came around and the interesting elements of the Collector were killed. He's just a sad but playful boy, just like Hunter was sad but mad and Amity was sad but smart. We had no other villains that we as an audience were connected to, all the character arcs were done, to the point where they have to make shit up for Willow so they can do SOMETHING with her and even that feels like shipping fodder, and the thematics were left so far down the road that... What can you say about the ending positively besides "I'm happy everyone is alive and seems happy where they are"?

None of these issues only arose in S3 of TOH though and I think that's the real problem for the fandom right now. Literally the longer the show has gone on, the more its inherent flaws in its writing become obvious as well as the fact that these writers simply aren't good enough to improvise off of the flaws in their own writing to make it better. We have no one who is Toriyama during the Cell Arc here where they can change on the fly and actually build off of what has to now be discarded. Or, hell, me, because I don't plan my stories from go but I take GREAT pride in being able to build on surprises I leave for myself on accident. Remember: The Power of Love did not start even with that title or Boscha planned to ever make more than joke appearances. Now it has a lot of people's favorite versions of both Boscha and Amity.

And that story is over a hundred chapters long. I had at least another hundred chapters of plans in mind. But when my brain stopped working for it and I decided I needed to write an ending so readers could be satisfied, I managed to do one in six parts that word count wise was probably at most 15k words. Not that long frankly but I was able to highlight the mended relationship between Amity and Boscha, how far Boscha had come socially as to be able to ignore those who might have gotten under her skin before, her better relationship with Luz, tie up the biggest loose ends and get them all together.

Was it entirely coherent? No. Was it as impactful as it could have been had I done all my plans? Of course not. But it was satisfying and true to the story and none of it wasted my audiences' time while still giving them an ending that was not only poignant to what had come because of how far Boscha had come but also just give the audience what they wanted. I knew what to cut and I knew what was important.

The Owl House never knew what was important to it though. Never met an idea it didn't like. So... How do you end a story that has never had a focus, clear thematics, plot, world or even characters? That throws everything into the kitchen sink and just waves away the elements in the sink that will stop them from adding new elements that will never get past the surface?

In a lot of spectacle that shows you were always a lot more shallow than you claimed and that's gonna leave a lot of people cold. I know it did for me, even well before the finale.

A comment this morning…

This morning when I checked my feed for what happened overnight, I found the following comment regarding a posting I had made of a Soldier:

“Do you think he says yas [sic] when he bombs civilians” (I have no idea what ‘yas’ are).

I cannot begin to describe, as a Soldier myself, how offensive, ignorant, and intellectually shallow that comment is. First, the Soldier this was posted about was junior enlisted, and had nothing whatever to do with deciding targeting of military weapons. As the person making this comment should know, the decisions to go to war and how that war is executed reside with the Congress, the Commander-in-Chief, and those whom he appoints as officers. Second, the United States military more than any other goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties. I know this for a fact because one of my prior jobs in the Army was to give final approval for targeting decisions for war plans on the Korean Peninsula and I have also trained Soldiers on what is acceptable conduct in combat zones. Third, while there may be unfortunate incidents, I know of no case of deliberate targeting of civilians in the Iraq or Afghanistan campaigns. The unfortunate fact is that nearly all (if not all) of the civilian casualties that did occur were the result of accident or because legitimate military targets used civilians as human shields and other similar tactics. Frankly, the person who made the comment could easily have looked up any of what I have just related. Instead, he chose to engage in a vile attack that is unjustified by any factual basis.

Among those of us who have served, many carry the scars, both physical and mental, that resulted from choosing to do that which our country asked of us. We accepted this—and the losses that resulted—as our duty. It was a matter of honor. Only a fool who has never served and consequently has never suffered the pain and loss that results from that service could have made such an ignorant comment.

As many of you know, I am outspoken in my opinions. For this, I have drawn the ire and occasional venom from some who have read my posts and disagreed. I am fine with that. Despite disagreeing, I do not generally resent anyone who disagrees with me, though in the heat of the moment I am certainly capable of returning fire in kind. This is partly because I am an almost absolutist when it comes to free expression. It is also because I enjoy the give and take. I try not to assume the worst about others, including those with whom I may disagree. I have never blocked anyone who disagreed with me, nor have I ever deleted comments made regarding my posts.

Until now. I have never, and will not now, suffered fools gladly. There are limits on my blog, and I am the one who gets to decide what they are. And so, I would like to congratulate the person who made that despicable comment. He became the first that I have ever blocked from my Tumblr, and his comment was the first that I have ever deleted. To him, I will say that I have much more respect for that Soldier that he smeared than I ever will for him and his ilk who leech off of the largesse of this country, accept the benefits of being an American, and do nothing to support or to help improve our Republic.

Good riddance!

OMG - your post about radfems believing in patriarchal religions. Thank you for posting, I shall be following you from now on. You're the first blog I have found that aligns with femininity in our natural form rather than being extreme 'you can only be feminine if you're wearing a dress and have shaved legs' or being 'no such thing as femininity or masculinity.'. THANK YOU. Your blog feels like a relief to follow

Thank you, I'm glad to hear you found something you needed.

This is a subject I haven't made my mind on completely.

Many feminists believe men and women are completely alike when it comes to everything else than our bodies. If I understand their thoughts, I think they believe we could, in theory, have a society where physical sex wouldn't determine anything at all, other than how you make children.

I agree to a certain extent. The way gender is built in patriarchy is harmful and a tool or oppression. I don't believe sex should determine almost anything, when it comes to what kind of role you inhabit in a society. I mean, personally I'm a same-sex attracted woman who "looks like a man", doesn't want to bear children, and so on. And I'm still a woman and a female. How I live isn't contradictory with me being a woman. This is what women are like, too. There are countless of ways being a woman, none of which is "more woman" (or more feminine?) than something else.

But I've noticed patterns. I've only ever experienced patriarchy, so I'm not really able to imagine manhood in an egalitarian society. I'm sure it would be different from the current dysfunctional men, but how different? I don't know. But as things are now in most of the world, there are patterns of how men behave and how women behave, as groups. I see a pattern of recklessness and violence and dominance associated with men and what they do. I see a pattern of co-operation, consideration and care associated with women. Is the underlying reason nature or nurture or both - I don't know.

I believe our sexed bodies will affect our perception of the world to certain extent. There might be actual neurological differences, but one thing that is certain is that women can create life in a way men can never, and to women having a child is always a different experience than it is to a man, no matter how much we pretend parenthood is symmetrical. This idea of symmetrical parenthood undervalues what women are capable of, and what they sacrifice. This doesn't mean women should take more responsibility or that women belong to home, but only that women who have given birth know very intimately the deepness of human dependency which men can ignore more easily. In an egalitarian society, as rape wouldn't exist, women would have all the power to decide whether that society would even continue or not. That is a fact that will affect how women and men are perceived and how they perceive themselves.

In patriarchy, the illusion of a gender-neutral person in an egalitarian utopia can be very easily modeled after the patriarch, by accident. She will be independent and strong, capable of violence, value career over connection, and so on. He won't be imagined to be nurturing and valuing all life and connections.

I don't know how the perfect feminist utopia would look like to me. As far as I know, there can be gender roles in egalitarian societies. These roles are just not built to uphold oppressive structures, but are complementary and valued equally. Having only lived in a patriarchy this reeks of hidden misogyny and conservative ideas of gender to me, as I simply can't imagine anything else: I truly find it too hard to imagine men who value women as their equals. I still wish it can exist, even though my imagination can't reach it yet.

So, to summarize a bit: I believe women and men might inhabit different roles no matter what. This doesn't have to mean there should be power imbalance. It doesn't have to mean the roles are strict and that individuals might not move across them in anything else but how we create life.

I don't exactly like this idea but I don't like the idea of pretending men and women are completely alike, either, as this would almost definitely lead to undervaluing women. And if we valued women as women deserve, it would affect the societal position of women and men, and then we'd again have a society where women and men hold different societal positions.

Some people associate gendered positions with femininity and masculinity.

I don't know how I feel about these concepts. At this point, I don't know what they mean. People use them to describe so many things and their connection to femaleness and maleness is vague and undefined. Personally I don't find them helpful. I "look masculine", I often "act masculine" yet I hold values that are considered "feminine". These words offer more confusion than clarity to me. In patriarchal society men have defined what is masculine and what is feminine and I refuse to associate with submissiveness or describe my good qualities as male-like. In an ideal world, very different things would probably be associated with womanhood and manhood. To me personally, "feminine" and "masculine" don't carry the visions I need, but rather remnants of patriarchy, so I don't like to use them.

I don't still think we disagree at all! I just think we use different words. Thank you for your message, I appreciate it. It gave me a reason to stop and reflect a bit what I think about these things.

[actual-changeling]

hi, please feel free to ignore this, i would understand if you were tired of the whole pen thing, but i have a question about her suicide fic. i read it and it was ok, nothing special, but i also see nothing wrong with it? i'm aware i might just be ignorant on the subject (i never had that problem), but i would like to understand why it is offensive and bad representation?

Hi anon! I feel like you're genuinely asking so I will answer your question, though probably not in the way you expected. Once again, discourse is tagged, everyone feel free to block it. This response might get a bit personal so keep that in mind.

I'm as tired of this topic as everyone else, but I also do not want anyone to feel left behind if that makes sense. If there is something I can help with, I want to do so (as long as I feel like the question is coming from a genuine place, if not it will be deleted without comment).

CW for discussions of triggers and mentions of suicidality.

I wish I could tell you exactly which aspects of it are the problem and why, but I have not read it and I cannot read it.

I came across one of her posts and excerpts from it completely by accident, there was no warning in front of it, no read more, nothing. My brain reads very quickly and was half-way through the post before I realized what exactly I was reading, and unfortunately that was already enough to trigger me.

I wanna reiterate for people that aren't too knowledgeable on the subject or have gotten a lot of wrong information from social media that a trigger does not just mean "it makes me uncomfortable". The reaction is connected to my trauma and experiences with the topic at hand, I was going through emotional flashbacks that left me almost hyperventilating, shaking, and unable to calm down for several hours. All because of the way she wrote about suicidality. I am not easily triggered like this, I am in therapy, I have meds, I have unhealthy self-control. The fact that it affected me the way it did speaks volumes.

So no, I cannot read her fic and I won't read it, but I do not have to. I have seen more than enough to confidently say that the way she handled this is not okay, it is not safe for people to read, she is being incredibly irresponsible in how she talks about it on her blog, and I really hope that no one who is in a tough spot comes across it and gets triggered the way I did.

If someone reads it and sees no problem with it - good for you, and I don't mean that sarcastically. But I know that there are people that will read it and get, for a lack of better words, fucked up. I asked several of my friends about it and just giving vague descriptions of what I had read was enough to make them agree that, yes, this is not how you handle this topic.

The LEAST you can do is tag it properly and with as many different warnings that apply as possible. The LEAST you can do is leave a note saying "this is in part inaccurate and triggering in x way".

But then again, the absolute bare minimum would be to listen to people when they tell you when something you write is unsafe and offensive and then not write it that way. I think we all know at this point that no matter how many different fics and people go through this exact same experiences over and over again, she does not care about her readers and she won't listen. It's sad and it's embarrassing, and once again, I really really hope no one gets seriously hurt by this.

I will add the same disclaimer I added on my other post: If you quote me just to twist my words and misinterpret what I said, I hope you are ashamed of yourself. If you need clarification just ask me, it's that simple.

[tierra-paldeana]

// feel free to ignore this post.. just me thinking thoughts

i have so many weird feelings about the future. outside of my real life, which is something i don't wanna discuss right now, i feel this... approaching melancholy about the fact that somewhat soon, legends ZA will come out and everyone will start focusing on that. don't get me wrong, i AM excited, especially after my latest replay of XY and realizing just how much this new game could bring to the table that wasn't anywhere near explored in the og games... but...

can i just say this is the first time in a long time where i feel like i don't want to leave the region? for as flawed as scarvio are, they've become some of my favorite games in the franchise for different reasons. leaving just feels... wrong, in some way. and yeah yeah, i know, just because we move on to a new region doesn't mean everyone is going to forget about scarvio or that everyone in the fandom will leave it behind or anything like that, but...

since dppt and bw/2, these games feel like home to me. maybe it's the fact that paldea is directly based on the iberian peninsula and i'm spanish, but this game has made me feel so seen. not to mention it's got one of my favorite stories in the franchise, and i love most characters in this game to bits. and i mean, they made me come back to the rp scene here on tumblr after i left in 2018, so YOU KNOW they've altered my brain chemistry HARD lmaoo

just feeling a bit irrationally sad that it won't be in the spotlight anymore i guess...

outside of that, i'm also grappling with weird feelings regarding my future(?) geeta blog. i know rping is just for fun, but i always take the way i portray characters super seriously, sticking to canon as much as possible (while adding a lot of headcanons ofc) and i'm generally just hard on myself lol. i do think i have a good english level (i got a C1 bordering on C2, ffs!), but i've always found it insanely hard to write characters that talk very politely, so i'm very VERY scared of fucking it up and making geeta sound either too overtly polite or too casual on accident ajahfjfhdjfh

i also... well. this is related to personal issues. but i find my geeta hard to visualize without taking my rika's story into account. what i mean by that is that i think that, unless it's a non-canon verse, rping with other rikas as geeta would be a bit hard for me?

this is not me saying my fellow rika rpers aren't ''good enough'' or whatever, fyi, i'm just saying that i'm very particular about the way their friendship develops in my head and i don't want to/i'm not going to enforce anyone to follow that 'canon' so to speak. doesn't mean that rping with other rikas is off the table, just that it'd probably have to be a non-canon separate verse, just like how this blog has the tierra diferente verse. does that make sense...?

and of course and most importantly... y'all don't know just how specific and defensive i am about geeta. the amount of terrible misrepresentation and villifying i see of her is just unbearable every single time. i fucking hate evil geeta AUs, sorry. i hate the interpretation that she abuses the people that work under her management. i hate the constant ''worst champion'' bs, i hate that people think she's shady or say that she shows no emotions. it's just. i can't. i'm tired of seeing that shit every single time. so i end up sitting down and asking myself ''is making a geeta blog a mistake??? should i just keep it low activity???? should i just not make the blog????''

so yeah. fun!

if you've made it this far in the post, thank you for reading. just needed a place to vent a little and take things off my chest fhgfhgfhdgf

(English Ver. Is the first half, Versión en español es la segunda mitad.)

Welcome to this little blog proyect, in case you stumble upon this blog or it just randomly became somewhat popular, i need to let everyone that gets here, to know some "Contract" or rules of some sort, since it was originally planned to be prívate and for a very specific public, be adviced: If any of the following rules are broken, the blog will become prívate, as for the works and content of the same, i'm guessing i'd try to fight for them, either by erasing them or with help of the copyright laws.

Anyways, let's get started.

1. DO NOT REPOST MY WORK, NOR SHARE IT WITHOUT MAKING SURE THE OTHER PART READS THIS TOO. (Obviously, i can't stop all of You from sharing it on messages or alike, but if you do, PLEASE, make sure the other person reads this.)

This might sound odd, or quite weird, wouldnt most people want fame?, well yes, i can't deny that even I would like such a thing, YET, i'm quite insecure about my work, and besides...

No matter how good or bad a content can be, there's always a chance of Plagiarism or even the whole work being stolen and "sold" under a more popular light.

2. (This one is obvious, but here we go) DO NOT STEAL ANY OF MY CONTENT

I'm pretty sure most people know how this one goes, to be fair, i can get that my works and the ones from the rest can be similar, in fact, your could replicate someone else's work by accident (partially like a page, a chapter, something small, not the whole damn work, tough i don't doubt such a thing ever happened in history), tough the odds of such a thing are quite minimal, thus, ignoring that one scenario for now, DO NOT, in any way steal any of my content or use it for commercial porpuses without my approval thank you very much.

3. Do not Associate me or any or my content with any form of hate.

PLEASE, do not associate me or any of my content with any form of hate, do not use any fictional character of mine with the promotion of the same or use it as some way to promove it (for example, if i make a fictional racist character, do not use it on racism related activities, like impersonating it on social media and using it alike, characters with such characteristics are often used for narrative porpuses or other goals, but not for the promotion of the same practices, dont associate me as part of such hate speechs or forms of hate by creating such characters if i make any, since i do not promote nor form part of the same.)

4. DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME OR MY WORKS IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING; Do not interact with me or My works if You are a TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist 💀), Do not Interact with me or My works if You are a MAP (Minor attracted Person 🤮), Do not Interact with me or My works if You are a Racist (or if You form part of any hate group or promote any kind of hate speech.)

And lastly, PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME OR MY WORKS IF YOU ARE A MINOR, since the content might not be appropiate for anyone under 18 years old.

I do not know any more groups that should be avoided, so for now i'll keep the list like that

That's the list, FOR NOW, if any update needs to be made, i will make sure to notify through another post, same goes for the rules so far, the next part is just the spanish text version.

Te doy la bienvenida a este proyecto hecho en un blog, en caso de que hayas encontrado el mismo ya sea por casualidad o porque alguien más lo haya compartido en algún lugar y se haya vuelto relativamente popular, necesito hacerle saber a todas las personas que encuentren el mismo, que se necesita aceptar un "Contrato" o serie de reglas necesarias para interactuar con este blog, debido a que fue originalmente planeado para ser un proyecto privado con un público específico de mi elección.

Tengan en mente; La ruptura de estás reglas puede resultar en este proyecto terminando abruptamente o continuando con el público específico previamente planeado, volviéndose totalmente privado, respecto a las obras presentes en el mismo, dependiendo los casos se pelearia legalmente, ya sea con leyes de derechos de autor o por su eliminación total del resto de plataformas para mantener su confidencialidad, por así decirlo.

Todo esto según vea conveniente.

En cualquier caso, continuemos.

1.- NO REPOSTEEN EL CONTENIDO DE ESTA CUENTA, MÁS ALLA DE TUMBLR (Entiendo que no tengo el control total de evitar que esta cuenta y sus contenidos se compartan por medios digitales si se planea mantenerla publica por ahora, pero POR FAVOR, asegurence de que a quienes les compartan el contenido lea esta publicación, y no reposteen mi trabajo/obras en otras plataformas, y mucho menos las hagan pasar como suyas.)

Entiendo lo extraño que puede sonar, todo mundo quiere fama no?, al menos, en la gran mayoría.

Personalmente yo no voy a negar que también me gustaría tener fama, más y sin embargo tengo muchas inseguridades tanto en escritura como dibujo, y lamentablemente....

NO importa que tan bueno o malo sea un tipo de contenido, siempre existe la posibilidad de plagio, o incluso el robo, y peor aún, la gente puede llegar a hacerlos pasar por suyos, en especial si es alguien con más renombre que quien haya creado tal contenido.

2. (Una de las más obvias, pero aún así la añadiré) NO ROBEN NI PLAGIEN MI CONTENIDO, BAJO NINGUN CONCEPTO.

Cómo dije antes, creo que la mayoría de personas entienden como funciona, entiendo personalmente que incluso existe la posibilidad de tener similitudes enormes, o incluso el replicar el trabajo de alguien más por accidente y sin conocimiento previo (como una página entera, o incluso un capítulo, mundo o concepto, NO TODA la obra o fragmentos enormes, aunque no dudo que tal cosa haya pasado antes en la historia.), pero como ese escenario es una probabilidad ridículamente pequeña, lo ignoraremos por ahora, y BAJO NINGUN CONCEPTO O MOTIVO, ROBEN MI CONTENIDO/OBRAS, NI MUCHO MENOS LO OCUPEN CON FINES COMERCIALES SIN MI CONSENTIMIENTO.

3. POR FAVOR, BAJO NINGÚN MOTIVO O CONCEPTO ASOCIEN MI TRABAJO Y PERSONA CON CUALQUIER TIPO DE DISCURSO DE ODIO O GRUPO QUE FOMENTE EL MISMO.

POR FAVOR, no me asocien a mi o a mi contenido con cualquier forma de odio, no utilicen mi contenido y personajes ficticios con la asociación de cualquier forma o discurso de odio, como por ejemplo (si escribiese algún personaje racista, no lo ocupen para fomentar cualquier tipo de discurso de odio o racismo, ya sea impersonandolo en redes sociales, o ocupandolo de alguna forma inapropiada, este tipo de personajes son usualmente creados para algun proposito narrativo o similares, y no para promover tales practicas e ideales, NO ME ASOCIEN con cualquier tipo de movimiento y/o discurso de odio, debido a que no apoyo ni formo parte de alguno de estos grupos o ideales.)

4. NO INTERACTUEN CONMIGO O MI CONTENIDO SI FORMAN PARTE DE ALGUNO DE LOS SIGUIENTES GRUPOS; NO INTERACTUEN conmigo o mi Contenido, si son un/a TERF (Feminista Radical Trans Excluyente 💀) o apoyan tal idea, NO INTERACTUEN conmigo o mi Contenido, si son un/a MAP (Persona atraida a menores 🤮) o apoyan grupos similares, NO INTERACTUEN conmigo o mi Contenido, si son un/a Persona Racista o forman parte de algún tipo de grupo con discursos de odio o culto o si apoyan alguno de los mismos, NO INTERACTUEN conmigo o mi Contenido, si son un/a Menor de edad, pues mi contenido no puede ser apropiado para menores de 18 años.

De momento está es la lista POR AHORA, si alguna vez necesita algún tipo de actualización me aseguraré de hacer un post al respecto para notificarles, lo mismo va para las reglas por ahora, Gracias por leer.

It depends on what they did instead, but probably. Episodes like Chat Blanc and Ephemeral should only exist if the plan is for Gabriel to be an abuser whose story will be handled with that element in mind, a topic I discussed further somewhat recently.

In that post and many others, I discuss my opinion that Gabriel needed to be toned down or otherwise softened. I don't say that because I don't want him to be an abuser. I'm fine with that take. I'm fine with Emilie being an abuser, too, as there's a lot of evidence to support that headcanon. The problem with both of these takes is that canon appears to be completely unaware of them.

The way the story is written makes it pretty clear that the writers don't view Gabriel as an abuser or at least not a serious one. He may have done some wrong things, but he really loved Adrien, so it's totally cool, right?

The same goes for Emilie. The show straight up ignores what Adrien's nebulous-but-still-concerning childhood implies about her and instead goes for a Perfect Soul Who Was Too Pure for This World take. That's why I called abusive Emilie a headcanon. While there is canon backing for it, we never actually hear or see her do anything abusive and Adrien's childhood is a giant question mark, so it's impossible to say anything meaningful about Emilie. She's a plot device, not a character. You could have replaced her with Gabriel dying from the peacock and nothing about the show's plot would really change.

Further evidence that the abuse was a writing accident comes from the writers talking about Chloe and straight up saying she was never abused. Since her on-screen abuse is a similar flavor to Adrien's, I don't know why his would count when hers didn't. Chloe's ending vs Gabriel's ending further backs up this take as one of them got an abuser's ending and it wasn't the adult terrorist.

I actually think that this might be why Felix got the backstory he did. It felt like the writers saying, "here, look, this is actual child abuse! Felix is the one that counts!" As if abuse is a competition and it doesn't count unless you win the gold medal for your income bracket.

Yet another thing that backs this accidental abuse hypothesis of mine is that it's just an extreme example of a reoccurring issue that we've discussed many times on this blog. The issue of the writers butchering their characters for the sake of plot and then being totally oblivious to what they actually wrote.

When you think about, Gabriel being an abuser by accident is no different than Derision turning Marinette into an unhinged stalker, Lila turning Alya into a terrible friend, or the fact that Felix's character just generally makes no sense. That's not even the full list! Those are just examples. The full list of characters whose intended characterization has been butchered goes on for days because this is a systemic flaw in Miraculous. For some reason, the writers have never been able to give us a solid characters who has more than a handful of lines. The more they show up, the more wacky they'll come across and I don't know why Gabriel would be the exception to that seemingly golden rule.

If I'm right about all of that and the goal was never to make Gabriel an abuser, then they should remove the abuse as it's a pointless complication to an already complex situation. If the goal was to make him an abuser then, dude, I don't even know. I'm not touching that with a 100 meter pole.

One person said that Adrien being so afraid of his father in Cat Blanc and Ephemeral despite being brave most of the time is a good depiction of an abuse victim, what can you say to counter that?

I wouldn't counter that because they're correct. It's one of the many reasons I think those episodes were huge missteps. Chat Blanc was the episode that made canon Gabriel irredeemable in my eyes. I wouldn't trust a show aimed at adults to pull off such a complex redemption let alone one aimed at kids!

If they wanted season five's ending to work, then Chat Blanc and Ephemeral needed Gabriel to be played WAY more remorseful. Less gleefully torturing his son and more "I'm sorry, Adrien, but I have to do this for the greater good and you won't remember if anyway."
