Dam being a Jason Grace stan in the fandom is a fucking tragedy lol. Not only do we have to deal with him being screwed over by uncle Rick, but we have to deal with the fandom hating him aswell lol, i feel like Jason Grace slander wouldnt affect me half as much if his character had gotten a happy ending. I just saw an Instagram reel about a "character's povs you skipped through'' and the comments were flooded with Jason Grace just like I'd expected lol 😭 like blud has no mercy there.

It took all my will power to not defend him under a comment that called him "homophobic", I cannot believe that comment had 4 people agreeing aswell like- did we read the same books? Did they completey skip over the coming out chapter in HOH where jason was literally the first person to tell Nico not to be ashamed of liking guys and that no one would judge him? the guy is legit one of the least problematic characters and does nothing mean, how is he even CONSIDERED in the homophobic area anyway? (he also gets slandered for being "too nice" aswell lol) so seeing him wind up in such a contradictory accusation just screams tone deaf and anti-jason bias tbh, Nico legit said he considered jason as one of his first friend/supporter (apart from his sisters) in TSATS :') its like ppl keep throwing in these false stuff bc they WANT to find a reason to hate him. (dont take this as me saying you are not allowed to hate him or something cuz that would be quite hypocritical of me, wouldnt it? i just hate that ppl make up problematic hcs of him and push them as canon, it would taint non-reader's perception of him because of false info, what if a non reader stumbled across that comment and immediately figured that jason was indeed homophobic even when he wasn't?)

Also, can we please normalize NOT judging a person for their character preferences? I like jason and i am aware that its an unpopular take, but that doesnt make me any less of a pjo fan. The fandom seems pretty aggressive when we dont follow the popular opinion. i have seen multiple ppl pretend to hate jason simply bc they WANT to fit in and "look cool", since the fandom has a tendency to use Jason as a punching bag to insult like "he's a knockoff percy" or "he thinks he's so cool but he's not". or smth, so when people do claim jason as a favourite, a huge chunk of the fandom start belittling them and go like "really? Out of all characters, why jason?" Or "Percy/Leo is better, I don't understand why you like Jason"

okay thanks for coming to my ted talk. i am aware that i was yapping here. unfair Jason Grace slander does that to me.

#Why do I always end up liking the unpopular ones #A huge chunk of the fandom doesn't respect other people's opinions either. don't get me wrong I love it here. but why. #The amount of side eyes I got when I said I liked jason smh he's fictional y'all #Like I didn't commit a crime by having him as my top 5 sheesh #Normalise not giving ppl the side eye when they say they like jason grace #jason grace #pjo #pjo series #pjo fandom #pjo toa #pjo hoo #pjo hoo toa #percy jackson #annabeth chase #hazel levesque #frank zhang #piper mclean #leo valdez

I think it’s silly how in fics Danny’s like “oh thank the ancients” or otherwise using them as a stand in for “oh my god”. He beat half their asses bi weekly and they only made him stronger. He spits on their names like a Canadian who just got attacked by geese 

He is cocky and full of rage. He can and has fist fought several gods, no way is he respecting them.

Maybe clockwork and pandora, but no one else (nope, nvm on clockwork).

Anyway I think he should curse them out or use them in derogatory ways rather than use them as a curse

Examples:

Oh fuck the Observants!

You’re dumber than the Observants

I’m gonna beat you so hard Nocturn would be impressed

I hope Vortex goes up ur ass hole

Overgrowth wants to know what ur smoking

I hope overgrowth eats ur mom

I’m not that creative but you get the point.

(This is no way a dis on the ancient trope, I like it fine enough)

#danny phantom #dp #dp fandom #phandom #ranting to the void #what even are the ancients? like the only time they’re referenced in the show is in regards to Pariah Dark an even that was a line #I think the phandom has decided that clockword and the observents are apart of them cause duh but also Pandora and the more elemental ghosts #which makes sense since they all seem to be concepts rather than past people #I think of them as like the 7Ds from the sandman if that makes sense #also idk if I’ve seen this take or not but is the ghost king an ancient? I’d say yes #if so danny has less of a reason to respect them #I have opinions on the function of the ghost king tho but I’ll save it for another post caue the tags are a bit much now #sometimes I feel I complain too much #my post

i cannot stress enough that even if you intend to do sports with your dog, even if you intend to work your dog you should get a type of dog you can enjoy living with WITHOUT sports and/or work. Dogs cannot do sports/work forever. Sometimes they need a break from sports/work due to injury. That is just a reality and you are going to have to live with that sportless/workless dog (even if temporary).

#dogblr #dog opinions #look. i just think people get dogs to DO sports #rather than get dogs they enjoy and do sports because they enjoy said dog #my enjoyment of my breed's quirks (including negatives) does not falter if they are unworked #me: again getting on my 'teach sport dogs to live regular dog lives' pedestal #there's a balance yall #anyways my breeder posted videos of slash's mom and grandma at 11.5 and 13 respectively still looking amazing and having fun #just doing walkies and zoomies and stuff #old lady things #and there's just as much enjoyment in THAT as there is in that accomplishment of good work/good sport

Water 7 was like specifically engineered to hit on every single sensitive spot Usopp has and honestly he almost under-reacted with how nuts the circumstances were for the moment that he snapped:

1. They just came off a fight where Aokiji knocked them around like it was nothing, where he had this realization:

So he’s going in already feeling super inadequate, more than he usually does (which is a lot already).

2. Relatedly, up to this point fixing the Merry was his job because they didn’t have a shipwright yet. Her being unfixable probably felt, to him, like a personal failing because he was the one in charge of fixing her

3. The Merry was most like another crew member to him because he’s the one who worked on her most, AND he was the only one who saw her klabautermann at this point

4. The big elephant in the room here is that Kaya was the one who gave them Merry. So, you know, he’s attached to her most for this reason too

5. There’s also the fact that this probably hit on the very specific trauma of his mother’s death, because she also got sick enough that everyone deemed her unsavable.

6. On top of all that, it also hit on his trauma regarding his dad and abandonment: he doesn’t want to repeat that and feel like he abandoned a crew member who needed him.

7. Speaking of abandonment, seeing a situation where, in his mind, the crew leaves someone behind who is now deemed useless probably touched on a lot of his own fears about his place on his crew and own perceived usefulness

8. He had also just been brutally beaten twice on the same day and is pretty badly injured, compounding both feelings of usefulness and aligning him with the merry in his mind in terms of physical state.

9. He had also just lost the money they needed to fix the Merry, again compounding the feeling that he was useless AND he was responsible for the Merry not being fixable

10. He woke up to the crew, who had already processed the news, telling him about it AND that a decision had been made, which made him feel like it was a him vs them thing

There’s probably more I think but yes, it is completely unsurprising that he fell apart so spectacularly

#one piece #op #usopp #water 7 #speaks #honestly I KNOW he was self sabotaging and snapping here but #I kinda respect him standing up to Luffy for what he thought was right #Luffy needs to be challenged more often generally speaking #this is probably an unpopular opinion but I never liked the blind loyalty = good thing that one piece champions #I think the best people to have in a crew are the ones who challenge you 🤷‍♀️

Another reason I get so pissy about people being like "well actually wizards are x y and z" on my shit is because you don't see me fucking going on to other people's posts and telling them their shit is wrong or that they need to follow my rules for shit. Because I respect that people can have their own interpretations of shit and express that within their own space. But people give me these dumbass lectures on my posts all the damn time! Make your own fucking post I don't want to see it

#if you want to have your autistic ramble moment about whatever the fuck you think wizards are. #Do it on your own fucking post because I don't want to see it in my notes #I'm going to start blocking people about it #curate a space where only people who respect other people's opinions and boundaries can follow me #i talk

[sad-leon]

I think some people need the reminder that you can just not like things. For whatever reason. You don't need to justify things you don't like to anyone, as long as you're not making people feel bad for liking it.

You're able to not like something, but that doesn't make it weird.

You're able to not like that people like something, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people (within reason of course)

And it's also important to remember that you may like something that other people don't like. That doesn't mean they have a personal vendatta against you for liking it.

That doesn't mean you're wrong, nor are they wrong.

People have preferences for everything. Just because you prefer something, that doesn't mean you're "right". This is fandom, there are very few things that even have a "right" and "wrong" side.

#rambles #okay getting off my soap box now #i was just reminded of a debate earlier that rubs me the wrong way #its fandom #have fun #but dont let your fun ruin other peoples #you can have boundaries without attacking people #you can have defenses and opinions without putting people down #you dont have to justify your existance in fandom and neither does anyone else #live and let live #all of these guys that we're obsessing over (in the rottmnt fandom atleast) are fictional #if you dont like something dont read it #but that doesnt mean others cant enjoy it #tag your shit and respect people's boundaries

People who engage in the Hetalia fandom while openly disliking the source material and even Himaruya himself sound kinda like hypocrites to me. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but please stay away from me, this kind of mindset truly annoys me and makes me uncomfortable. Am I gatekeeping? No, not really, I just believe that being a fan of something should mean, you know, being a fan and liking the source material at the very least. It should be like, the lowest the bar can get. Below that, there's not being a fan.

#if you live in your own delusion and your friends' fanon that's cool but I just can't bring myself to consider you a fan and #respect any of your opinions on the characters and anything else related to that #because really how can you have opinions on something you barely touch because 'ew canon am I right guys'??? #idk I just don't understand this behavior and it makes me uncomfortable #I've been seeing this '''trend''' for quite a few years and it irks me so much #I too have some criticism of some parts of canon but spitting in the plate where I'm eating?? Nah that'd be so stupid and hypocritical #if you hate it so much then don't leech off hetalia tags #idk #you guys do you but still I will never understand nor support it #ary spoke #ofc I'm not talking about people who are new to it and are testing the waters with fanon content before actually watching/reading the sourc #material - I'm talking about the people who actively refuse to consume the source and openly hate on it and have done so for years while #still somehow engaging in the fandom and even getting mad when the most common portrayal of characters is you know CANON LEANING and #not mirroring their valid but understandably niche opinions that most often come from an interpretation of fanon #hence at least twice as far away from canon #I don't seek drama or anything please do not pick fights I just needed to get this off my chest

nothin' serious, just thinkin

The whole situation with a certain Indie creator’s work blowing up too quickly and feeling overwhelmed by it, really makes me think about how… not fun it is sometimes when your work gets popular. Obviously my level of popularity and fandom doesn’t match there’s but dealing with people who see your OCs and start claiming them as their own, disrespect boundaries and basically hound you with their preferences is such a reoccurring problem it’s a bit scary.

For example, I remember wanting to completely scrap Powers as a character when people were treating her as a self insert to be homophobic and misogynistic, despite carrying neither of those traits. People make fetish art of my OCs and then tag me in it (and if I don’t reblog/retweet it they practically spam me about it). I’ve had people try to steal my own OCs out of spite. I’ve seen people draw smut of my underaged characters. People have gotten angry with me when my characters disprove their headcanons or present themselves in ways that aren’t their preferences. The amount of times I’ve dealt with people genuinely angry with me that Sera is a woman is a scary amount. Queer people thinking my art is fetish content that is catered for straight men. I’ve had people tell me that because I don’t depict more of a specific group, that means I despise them and that my art is inherently promoting hateful ideology for not depicting them. People sending me videos of bugs being killed or mocking my characters because they think it’s funny. and I have to repeat again these aren’t random trolls online, this is from my own followers.

And you guys have seen how angry people get when I tell them to stop being bigoted under my queer art, whether it’s complaining that I’m drawing too many women/lesbians or bitching that I’m drawing gay men at all, I’ve had to deal with the unfortunate fact some of my followers, no matter how many times I try to push them off my account are just… very hateful and think my work is fetish content meant to cater to them. Lesbian art isn’t queer art, it’s a porn category for some people. And a lot of queer men think it’s fine to lesbophobic and misogynistic under my art and demand that I draw less female characters because (insert that annoying Speed quote here)

I do really like the fanart and I’m completely fine with NSFW works as long as the characters are 18+, but it’s just. It’s scary sometimes. And it scares me to imagine what would happen if I really blew up. Respect creator’s boundaries… please.

#txt #I’d love to say this on my twitter/Insta/tiktok but people like to have civil wars over any opinion #even if it’s ‘you guys are nice but can you respect some boundaries’ #so uh. sorry for the semi serious post. but I wanted to express some thoughts

I really love Marcille and Laios' relationship so much. They have such a deep connection and clearly care about each other a lot. They have such a beautiful friendship that I don't understand how people genuinely think she hates him.

#if marcille wasn't so clearly in love with Falin I'd probably ship them #laios marcille and falin all clearly have this mutual love and respect (different flavors of love ofc) #they are falin's favorite people #falin is each of their favorite person #with each other coming up pretty high of the list if not number 2 #Marcilles frustration with laios is understandable and seems to come from a place of love #its not like with Shuro where she genuinely doesn't like him #she loves him (platonically probably) enough to call him out and voice her opinions/ frustration to him directly #marcille donato #marcille dunmeshi #marcille dungeon meshi #marcille delicious in dungeon #laios touden #laios dunmeshi #laios dungeon meshi #laios delicious in dungeon #laios x marcille #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #laimar

hey apparently there are haters following me and i just want to say i fully support mspec lesbians, mspec gays, lesboys, gaygirls, gaybians, etc etc and any queer good faith identities that are contradictory or confusing or """"wrong""". my own identity and some of my friends' identities fit this definition completely. if you don't like this you can unfollow me 👍

#juice.txt #not a dni just a suggestion since apparently IM on some of my followers' dnis #excluding random people from being queer because they 'don't fit' the standard is unhealthy and unhelpful #the standards are made up and subjective #and respectability politics is a historically awful strategy #also!! queerness tends to get really complicated for aroace people such as myself :) #tertiary attraction changes the game #idk. if you're against this stuff i'd recommend just. genuinely listening to people who support it and then making your opinion #but if not #well #that's not my problem

There's this weird phenomenon where the people who are really, really invested in Campaign 3 being The Best try to argue that it's the most closely bonded party. when in fact the absolute strongest material with Bells Hells thus far is them realizing with a shock that they've spent almost three months alternating between "my way or the highway" and smoothing things over to the point that they almost shatter along with Ashton and realize that they absolutely cannot go on a time-sensitive, mission-critical journey to save the world without stopping to take a team-bonding vacation.

And to be clear, this rips, but it feels as though while Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 fans might disagree on their favorite campaigns, they do like their campaigns for what they actually are and simply have different preferences with regards to what kind of story they like. This particular flavor of Campaign 3 fans, and there's a decent number of them, only care about winning on the most kindergarten-ass "all you need is love 🥺" axis (also, shades of the bean-counting/points approach to media analysis) but as a result they put forward an idea of the campaign that's simply not the reality and it's like, do you like Campaign 3? Or do you like the fanfiction version of it you wrote in your head based on the first 10 episodes and into which you have slowly dissolved your brain? There's plenty of valid reasons to enjoy or even prefer the campaign, but it's easily the most dysfunctional party and that's fine!

#queue #the mewling THEY'RE FOUND FAMILY THEY'RE THE MOST BONDED crew is like. canonless behavior and for what. #you are allowed to love things that aren't found family soft cottagecore fluff tender cozy. in fact you should. that stuff blows. #I'd also add that like the issue isn't that there's no love; it's that the love is outweighed by the dysfunction #eg: does it matter how much imogen loves people if she doesn't respect their boundaries nor trust them? #honestly this relates to maybe my most core opinion re: the current CR fandom: #the whiniest people re ships or campaigns or characters mostly hate who plays them or who is in the campaign #rather than ship or campaign itself. ie: i think most people who are like this ultimately want C1/2s plot but c3's characters #bc it frequently overlaps with them not really liking the whole moon plot or blaming that for the party's issues which. #babygirl that is the fucking campaign. it's the moon plot campaign. if you don't like the moon plot you don't like C3. #cr tag

Alot of people see bi han as the jealous/possesive type what's your thoughts on that?

Bi-Han is not the jealous/possesive type

I'm so glad you asked because this is another popular mischaracterization of him that I just don't understand.

As grandmaster of his clan, Bi-Han has a reputation to uphold. He knows that and he wouldn't take the risk of dating someone he can't trust to be absolutely loyal to him as it could make him lose the respect of his fellow Lin Kuei if his partner ended up cheating on him/leaving him for someone else. However, that would not make him overly jealous, just more hesitant to enter a relationship. Bi-Han would never date someone he doesn't fully trust. Therefore, if the relationship is already established, it means he already knows that his partner is trustworthy and that there's no need for jealousy.

In fact, I feel like Bi-Han would hate jealousy. After all, there are plenty of women in the Lin Kuei and it would be exhausting for him to deal with a significant other who would get jealous every time they see him interact with one of them. Cyrax, for example, seems to be a close friend or at the very least a trusted advisor of his. Bi-Han is also allies with Nitara. He would be interacting with other women quite often and he would expect his partner to have faith in him. In return, he would have faith in them, too.

Bi-Han wouldn't mind it to see his partner interact, spend time or be friends with other men either. Unless there's a solid reason for him to get jealous, he wouldn't care much about who his significant other spends their time with.

Besides that, Bi-Han is a very confident and arrogant man. Let's face it, he would probably find it hard to believe that his partner could even want anyone else when they already have him. Insecurity often manifests as jealousy and Bi-Han is certainly not the insecure type.

I also don't see him being possesive. All that edgy "You're mine." wattpad nonsense that can often be found in reader insert fics really doesn't fit him. It's just so out of character for Bi-Han to act in that way. This man thinks very highly of himself. He wouldn't waste his time trying to convince anyone they belong to him. If they can't see it for themselves, it's their loss, not his. Someone worthy of his affection will value and cherish their bond with him. Again, possesiveness screams of insecurity and that's just the opposite of what Bi-Han is. He would be fairly casual as a partner because he knows he doesn't have competition.

Sorry, this turned out much longer than I thought it would, but I hope it answers your question!
