No art, just a long word post:

Apologies for my multifandom ass. I tend to post a lot about one thing for a long time and then jump to another thing. I've been that way my whole life. Hyperfixations tend to hit me SUDDENLY like a truck and I can't rlly control what my brain wants to fixate on. So if any of you guys followed me for one fandom specifically. uh. my condolences. Odds are I'll post about those things again once every blue moon or whenever the hyperfixation hits me again.

Which, I'm QUITE hyped for the mmx comic series we're going to be getting. I've been dreaming of something like that happening! And when we got the news, I exploded.

And as for my pkmn followers. Thanks for sticking around this whole time :) I have high hopes for Z-A, and I hope I can make more art for pkmn soon. (and on a similar note, I'm also hyped for digimon time stranger. What can I say, I loved both pkmn and digimon as a child.)

Everything I've posted for are things that I hold dear to my heart. I think of them often, but I wish I could come up with more creative ideas for them. I can't really think up much for them unless they're occupying most of my brain, which is quite unfortunate for me.

Ofc, school will be starting up for me again in less than 3 weeks. And odds are, I'll be stuck with a heavy workload again since I'll be working in only studio classes. I thank you guys for your patience between my posts. I know I don't post very often. I tend to be a very private person, and I'm very selective with what I post and what I don't. I also rarely open Tumblr because I prioritize my studies and communicating with my irl friends and family (and no, I don't have any other social media. aside from discord if you even count that.) It's not that I have a problem with Tumblr, I just have an intense fear of becoming addicted to it. I've seen what social media addictions do to the people around me, and I've just always have a hard time with it. So again, thank you guys for being patient with me. I just recently surpassed 300 followers, and I'm so grateful that you guys like what I create.

Underlying misogyny in the Mega Man X fandom

Maybe I'm coming across as "too woke" here or reading into things too much, but I'd like to talk about the misogyny surrounding the mmx fandom as I feel it's an overlooked issue .

My first example is the treatment Iris gets in the fandom.

Ignoring the blatant sexualistaion she's gotten over the years, Iris is either forgotten (which I don't fully blame people for actually), treated decently or hated and bashed for.......kinda nothing honestly

You see, Iris suffers from this thing called "treating writing flaws like character flaws." A.K.A. hating characters for what is clearly an out-of-universe problem.

The most common example is that characters (usually female) are poorly written, and fans of the media hate the characters for it. It's made even worse when male characters suffer from the same writing mistakes and get little to no negativity.

You can probably see how this relates to mmx. Iris is very much not a well written character. She barely has a role other than "extra trauma for Zero boo hoo," but then again, X and Zero ALSO aren't well written. They just seem better because you see more of them, but truthfully, you only need a maximum of three words to describe any of these characters.

Fandom misogyny also applies to other female characters, especially in the oversexualisation or complete ignorance department. Another great example of this would be Layer.

In-game Layer is a reserved, calm, collected woman who only really breaks out of that when Zero is around, in which she seems to get awkward, no doubt due to her hinted crush at the man. Even then she doesn't act all that different.

In a lot of fanon interpretations, though Layer seems to be sexualised and even demonised despite her barely contributing to the games. Granted colourisim also plays a part in that not only in fanon content but in canon media as well. Layer is the only black character in the X series, and she is by far the most sexualised, no doubt also contributing to her fanon depictions.

Another chatacter I'll mention in relation to underlying misogyny in the fandom is one you might not expect.

It's X.

Yeah

X suffers from this thing in male characters especially, where a desire for peace, benevolence and a dislike of violence, or any indication of emotions really, are seen as weak, soft, or you guessed it, feminine traits.

These type of characters are then often infantilised, fetishised, and generally misrepresentation in fan made media.

(It's at this point I would like to state there is nothing wrong with soft or weak or feminine male characters on their own)

X very much suffers from this, as despite fighting several wars people still portray him as a wimp. Even in the Zero games which is honestly kinda absurd to me?

Speaking of the Zero games, this post ia about mmz, so I'll keep this brief, bit there's also a lot of weird stuff when it comes to female characters in that fandom aswell, mostly sexualisation. For Fairy Leviathan, even though I don't like it and think it sucks, I can at least understand it. She does seem to have the maturity of a young adult and is almost flirtatious in her appearances. However, I can not say the same about certain depictions of Ciel, who is a confirmed CHILD. She's 14 in mmz 1, and she's 16 in mmz 4. No excuses.

Well we've come to the end of this rant where I'd like to say that there is nothing inherently wrong with ooc depictions of characters. People are allowed to have fun and play around with characters they enjoy. That's not at all my problem.

My problem is when fanon is treated like canon, to the point where fan made contet is treated as official information which ofc leads to a lot of confusion, misunderstandings and it'd honestly just plain annoying.

There's also problematic aspects like misogyny, racism and others, which I mentioned previously. To anyone with half a brain it should be obvious why those are bad things.

Anyway I saulte for making it the end of this thank you for listening to my ultimately not that clear way of presenting things

XZero Week 2025

Day 7 ~ Sunshine

(x and zero are going for a morning stroll, and x got zero a present! yes, the clover is nice, and zero will cherish it, but X's glowing smile is something he wishes he could keep forever, too.)

[vizziefizzie]

XZero Week 2025

Day 6 ~ Desire

(Awakened Zero's desire was to tear X apart... but X's was to save his partner's soul...)

[vizziefizzie]

XZero Week 2025

Day 5 ~ Sentimental

(The one time Zero failed to save X. Even if he couldn't remember much, I'm sure he felt plenty of things at that moment.)

[vizziefizzie]

XZero Week 2025

Day 4 ~ Nightmare

“How long has this been going on?” “Feels like forever…” “You never said anything about it.” “I know.”

(This is based on a hurt/comfort oneshot that I wrote over a year ago. It's one where X finally learns about Zero's chronic nightmares, and Zero suffers from some shiny new PTSD symptoms. But I haven't posted it yet bc im shy. Maybe someday?)

[vizziefizzie]

XZero Week 2025

Day 3 ~ Labyrinth

(this is set between Zero 1 and Zero 2. I like to imagine that Zero was mostly trying to run from Neo Arcadian forces during that year gap, while also leading them away from the resistance. But every once in a while, he finds some shelter to stop and rest for a while. And every once in a while, Cyber-Elf X pays him a visit (they don't talk much, but they appreciate each other's presence greatly))

[vizziefizzie]

XZero Week 2025

Day 2 ~ Sakura

(I gave X some pink armor for funsies!! and because I think he'd have a bunch of fun armors he can wear for different festivals/holidays/or whatever occasions, just to avoid any confusion about X being pink)

[vizziefizzie]

XZero Week 2025

Day 1 ~ Damage (Based on X5's intro stage)
