IT'S NOT NEW STORY IT'S A FUCKING BATTLE TOWER

We as a community give skybound too much hate when prime empire is literally there and just plain ass

Thoughts on Blue Kirby?

And/or reason why they've yet to appear on this art channel when the other colored Kirbs have?

SGOSIDGASFG SORRY ANON FOR NOT DRAWING HIM </3 😭

I literally have no thoughts on this character. I don't draw him because he's not a canon character like Red Kirby or the other guys from KatAM, he's just a player 2 type character in RtDL.

I wish people understood this thing called hiding your feelings. Like holy shit

You hate proshippers? Censorship is dangerous, bud.

You are a proshipper? Write your weird shit in your diary, not ao3

You're a radfem? Harassing trans people online isn't going to make women any more equal, girl. Go vote or something

Youre an ed blog? Sounds like it sucks. Maybe it can suck privately. The only reason people read your posts are to trigger themselves

You have a sh blog? Cool, don't post about it! Same as before. The only reason people like your content is because they're triggering themselves

Youre a drug addict? Go to rehab, not to tumblr.

You have weird kinks? Cool. I think the only person who needs to know that is the person you're fucking though

I wish ppl online could just fuck off and bottle up their issues and opinions like everyone else, but since that's impossible, I won't do it, either.

Stop being weird online. Do it in your diary. Or, better yet, therapy.

Why is the TROP fandom so toxic all of the sudden?

(Rant in the tags and spoilers for S2 E7 of TROP)

[sharkface]

I don't have a problem with a lot of fan content focusing on shipping honestly even stuff that's generic and out of character or clearly so far removed from the original the op has fundamentally just made ocs inspired by certain characters. People harp on these things a lot but I feel like overall shipping is just not necessarily solely responsible for other problems fanbases tend to have and probably doesn't deserve to be seen as THE thing wrong with fanworks, because you really can just avoid it if you don't like seeing it. The thing I have a problem with is that so often people who are only really interested in shipping have to go out of their way to create an alternative version of the source material to make this make sense and then will get mad at YOU for not agreeing that a bunch of hypothetical shit they just sort of made up is an interpretation of the actual text. And because they only care about shipping they kind of have to discard everything that gets in the way of that, creating entire nonexistent character traits and arcs or "fix it" fanworks that fundamentally alter the entire story so that they can creates scenarios where characters can kiss.

When we're at a point where the story itself comes second to having two characters to pair up, and you literally cannot attempt to interpret any part of a story other than deciding what character's you'd like to see paired up, you are not doing "character analysis," you're barely even Watching Shows. It is fine that you like romance centric plotlines, and I think it's great if you like it enough to make fan content of it, but you NEED to be able to separate the thing you do for fun (shipping) from the actual narrative you are engaging with and stop getting so defensive when people just don't see what you see. You are a member of an incredibly niche hobby subculture, most people who are interested in analysis of narratives and characters do not do it the way you do and will find your disregard for the text in favor of irrelevant romances and smut shallow, because it IS shallow. And it's fine to be shallow and have fun in a way others find bland or distasteful, but even so, this behavior is degrading your ability to engage with and understand media. It's making you WORSE at the thing you supposedly like doing.

You don't need to engage with things you don't enjoy, but I think you'll find that if you just stretch out of your comfort zone a little bit and just put the ship goggles down for a second you'll see a lot of value in what you find.

"we wanted to do something different" *literally just copies and pastes a design from almost a century ago*

[swordspider-fr]

okay want to preface this that the new ancient breed I genuinely like so much more than the other recently released ones (the sandshark guys + the moth alien ones, edit: completely forgot about grass snakes bc they were so mid to me). The design feels very cohesive/strong to me AND weird in a way we haven't super had yet with the headshape (BALD!!!) + limbshape (those huge+few claws <3). like this isn't just Tundra2 but bigger or coatl2 but it's more snake-y.

HOWEVER............ they literally coulda been moderns. like pllllsssssss no more ancients with the 2-wing 4-leg format bc I'm just gonna look at them and wish they are moderns so I could dress them. Like design coulda been vastly improved IMO if they got isopoded-up and just slapped 4 more legs on that thing, imagine legs on the tail section that woulda be great. think they also coulda made it fatter bc we haven't got a fat breed in so damn long but that's also my bias.

trying to finish reading dungeon meshi now that it's done and just seeing everyone in the comments talking about ships. gun to my head

[rimouskis]

can I be so open and vulnerable with you guys. the card I was given from people at my old office was sincerely so nice and really validating but also I feel like the main impression I left other people with was "she's really nice" WHICH IS GOOD, I DO WANT TO BE KNOWN AS NICE but also part of me is like... should I maybe strive for "innovative" or "creative" or "a go-getter" because being The Nice One just feels a little mealy-mouthed of me y'know?

[shesgonnachangetheworld]

why is every article about biden like

headline: Biden for sure totally dropping out for realsies!

actual article: here's what would happen if he dropped out, a thing he repeatedly said he isn't going to do unless he literally has to

like i love fanfic as much as the next nerd, but not for my fucking elections

[calmethar]

one day i'll stop arguing with people who paint snape as this virulent child abuser & creep... i am just incensed when people clearly don't read the canon text.

[h-f-k]

next time can you guys let me know when it's surprise song time? i just want to avoid reading the 4 page essays on how some of you think she's communicating with us through those songs about her private life, because it's getting fucking insufferable

[mobblespsycho100]
