real talk though how much of their success was facilitated by the fact liz hemmings sees 'child with adhd' and thinks 'future world renowned musician' and just invested so much love and time and money into nurturing not only her own child's ambitions but also these two kids he brought home from school and the table drummer from her year 9 math class of 2009

#she's one of my heroes fr #she believed in them so much #this is exactly what every kid growing up neurodivergent needs #and she's a teacher. she knows things!! it's not blind optimism #liz hemmings #5sos #5 seconds of summer #luke hemmings #ashton irwin #calum hood #michael clifford #neurodivergence #adhd #i'm not a doctor #neurodivergent acceptance fr #long before there was a mainstream conversation about it #some people just get it so instinctively and let's appreciate them! #disclaimer this post came almost entirely from thinking about ashton's artist friendly episode. i'm not here to armchair dx ppl #i chose to post it bc we can all do with thinking a bit about what we're seeing before we judge people for their adhd traits #or infantalise them or whatever and i think the fandom is ready #again i'm not here to say who does and doesn't have adhd i don't know that. but i do know its traits and i want to call them what they are

Generally Merlin and Merthur fandom is the chillest lovliest most talented and wonderful fandom I've been in so when even a whiff of drama happens (looking at stupid ship poll and hateful fans from the other side) I'm like man, we're too chill for this, we're the immortal fandom, we'll be here long after your ship sinks/turns into a frog/whatever, we'll be here with the cockroaches at the end of the world, still making gifs, still crying over merthur, still loving our comfort show and boys. If that isn't an epic ship worthy of so much better than I don't know what is. We're too good for this, Merthur is too good for this so yeah, we'll be eating our magical popcorn watching the rest of this dumb poll from afar and laughing in 'he waits 1500 years for him' canon

#merlin #merthur #that anime fandom is awful like you don't need to dump on the other ship in the tags #but thats exactly what they're doing #so fuck them #and their dumb ship

1. for the choose violence ask game?

1. the character everyone gets wrong

ONE THOUSAND YEARS JAIL FOR TCW WRITERS for getting that absolutely GOLDEN layup in AotC and then NOT doing jack fuck with Dooku. They looked right at Christopher Lee's deliberately nuanced portrayal in that movie (within the script's and direction's limitations which were indeed very limiting. Have I ever mentioned that George wasn't too good at writing Dooku either?) and did NOTHING. They made him a Saturday evening cartoon guy in the Saturday evening cartoon and I am inconsolable

I cannot get over how they squandered his potential!! And Asajj's by extension, too. And why do I have to cling to CW 03 for any screentime of them both even just existing in the same room? Like genuinely do we ever see them physically next to each other? They're supposed to be master and apprentice bro something went terribly wrong here!!

Also to bend this back to the fandom and to beat a dead bloated decomposing horse: Obi-Wan. Novels have been written about his fanon alter-ego so I'll just say that most people actually write him just fine until any type of relationship emerges! Ppl want to swaddle this spiritual master and veteran shock formation leader in a blanket so bad they gotta nerf him to hell so someone can take loving care of the shadow of his former self lmao

#pros of being in a fandom like this is that i don't need to have actual beef with my fellow creators #i can just shoot at the official writers and possibly corporate meddling which is great :)c #anyway. the 212th being an attack battalion makes me wonder if they're the baseline for the future stormtroopers #because stormtroopers in the uh. german sense of the word. are exactly that #rapid assault troops. shock formation etc. which seems to be the 212th's bread and butter #i love how they put calm and kind obi-wan right into the republic's spearhead I ADORE CONTRAST #anyway. forever mad over what (wasn't) done with dooku and asajj. rip king and queen you deserve so much attention #ask #choose violence ask game

I've seen people criticize Akane's reply to Aqua in Chapter 52, but I think Akane actually said exactly what Aqua needed to hear.

Because she once again saw through Aqua.

Akane promises Aqua that she will always be his ally. That no matter what happens, she will be by his side; that she will understand him.

This really touches Aqua, but he can't bring himself to believe her. After all, Aqua, cynical and self-deprecating as he is, doesn't think it's "easy" to find someone who will acknowledge you as you are and appreciate you for it.

Of course, it doesn't help that he hides himself and his heart under multiple layers.

Despite that, he does open up to Akane in this chapter. You wouldn't understand, not that I'm going to tell you anyway, he says, before proceeding to do just that (lol).

He gives it his best shot, even turning his dark stare on her.

He is testing her. Laying a trap so that when she naturally judges him for his less than noble intentions, he can convince himself that that moment of comfort she gave him was nothing but a mirage. Of course she wouldn't understand, no one can understand.

He is doing the same thing Ai did when she met Saitou, being honest with the goal of scaring Akane off.

However, Aqua, who is always at odds with himself, is simultaneously also hoping Akane will prove him wrong, because he wants to believe her. He really does want to believe someone out there can understand him.

And Akane sees through the trap into what Aqua truly wants, and tells him exactly what he needs to hear.

She doesn't encourage him, neither does she tell him that he's wrong. She listens to him without judgement and tells him, in no uncertain terms, that she is willing to share that burden with him. Just like she told him she would.

And that kind of companionship and acceptance means the world to Aqua, who thinks so little of himself. It even chases the darkness from his eyes, turning the black star back into its usual white.

This is all highlighted later. First in Chapter 65, where Goro reveals that finally finding someone who understands him is one of the reasons that makes Aqua start to believe he can be happy.

And of course, in Chapter 97, where Aqua has a monologue about how Akane acknowledging him and accepting him as he is has saved him little by little.

#akane kurokawa #kurokawa akane #aqua hoshino #oshi no ko #aquakane #aquaka #me: onk #fandom: onk #my aquakane meta #the last ask I got reminded me I had this in the drafts #thank you anon!! #all this to say that I keep seeing people judging this scene as if aqua were a healthy individual #he isn't #in the context of the story and of his emotional and psychological needs akane said exactly what she needed to say to help him #because for once aqua doesn't feel like he's alone

I keep thinking that King Laios is gonna have a real hard time, politically, with dwarves post canon. I think it's established that dwarves have the most beef with elves (though this might also apply to gnomes to a lesser extent, given Tansu's opinions) and I'm sure they would have their hackles raised over the continent chocked full of concentrated mana that suddenly appeared from the depths due to ancient magic right after the Canaries went in and fucked around.

Worse, the king's court magician is a half elf, and his royal advisor, once they get intel on him, will turn out to be some tallman elf pet straight from the elven capital. And their court was established with a live-in elven ambassador (Pattadol) from day one. Just like in the canon timeline, a bunch of completely innocent circumstances have converged to paint a horribly suspicious picture. The Golden Country folks are gonna have a hell of a time convincing the world that they're not an elven puppet-state. This is designed to give Kabru a chronic migraine.

#TO BE CLEAR: I am not calling Kabru a pet. But that is exactly what other long-lived people would assume about him. #this post is useless I am just speaking to myself. Kui what have you done to me I cannot stop rotating postcanon speculations in my head. #like I'm not crazy right Kabru is gonna have so many racists accusing him of being an elven spy/meddler whispering in Laios's ear #Golden Country trio my beloveds.... #Dungeon Meshi spoilers #oh PLUS the dungeon had a lot of ancient dwarven architecture in it ... they might not be happy about that #musings with Dea #I need fandom to stop fucking around with ********* **** and give me more kingdom building political intrigue fics

Lottie Matthews: *a teenage girl stuck in the middle of the wilderness, stranded with other teenage girls and two boys and a coach, all traumatized and simply wanting to go home, starving, struggling with guilt and her own mind, trying to find comfort in whatever she can---which ends up being a supernatural force, some of the girl's cling to it, because it's provides comfort, while others turn against her because it's too far out of the realm of belief even though she stabbed a bear through the skull and fed them from it, but in the end she's just a teenage girl placed on a pedestal that she didn't ask for but took it because it would help her friends, only for years later said pedestal she didn't ask for causes her to be seen as a pariah amongst the same girls that she survived the wilderness with.*

Some people: Lottie is most definitely the villain of the series! Look how she's tearing the girls apart and making them the worst versions of themselves! She's just crazy, and none of this is even real. I'm glad Shauna--

#lottie yellowjackets #lottie matthews #yellowjackets #shauna shipman #can you tell that i love her? her taissa & shauna are the best girls! #and this isnt me saying necessarily that the girls specifically shauna are wrong for being creeped out by it #but the way some in the fandom treat lottie as the aggressor in every little thing when she's simply struggling as well #like shauna's dream of her stealing her baby was exactly that-a dream. while lottie was hovering a bit to close and not giving her space sh #e wasn't actively plotting to harm the baby #she was doing her best to help and stepped away when she realized that she needed to leave #i also won't get into how some in fandom use...a lot of rhetoric that can borderline reach being ableist (ive seen it since day one when #the scene of lottie looking for her meds came out & people were already calling her all sorts of names #some of the girls believe in this stuff some dont #they dont know what the audience knows #tw use of the word crazy #dont get me started on people wishing physical harm on her for literally doing nothing (even after it was revealed it was lottie #sacrificing herself so that shauna can let out her anger and trauma) #long post

ok, I feel like I need to point this out (because of some tweets I've seen), but Brazil is a highly conservative country. Yes, we are very sex positive, which inherently goes against a lot of conservative views in other cultures, and yes, we have one of the biggest pride parades in the world. But we are also the country that kills the Most Amount of Trans People in the World (for 13 consecutive years).

this idea that brazilians are all nicer and more caring and more loving comes from this deep feeling of protectiveness we feel towards our country and our people. We feel like we need to project this image to protect ourselves (because last time a brazillian President decided to be human and reacted negatively to negative comments we were forced into a dictorship that would rob us of four years of democracy and republic). I find myself constantly defensive over brazillian ccs because of this. And generaly it doesn't cause much harm. But I need qsmp fans to understand that no place on earth is perfect, and although I believe that brazillians are genuinely more friendly, we aren't all nice.

Also, be good to your LGBTQ and poc brazillian friends. They really need someone on their corner.

#qsmp #also #for context the tweets i saw were saying like #how brazillians were super nice and cool and that they wanted to come here #and like i get that they mean the fandom and the ccs #but this is something that needs to be pointed out #everyone is subjected to propaganda all the time #and even if this specific one is based on self defense #it is still propaganda #no country is perfect #all non-usaians should be more proud of our countries and more loving of them #i don't want you guys to project this utopia into brazil #because that (the projection of a perfect country) is exactly what I used to do to the USA when I was little #this type of thought (of one country having all this positive traits #while undermining your own country) is not healthy #twitter neg

I love how nobody's talking about the fact that there is a very real possibility Nico could be blond in the show.

#pjo tumblr would absolutely explode #if we end up with a black haired will and a blond nico all the tv fanart is just gonna look like Jercy XD #nico di angelo #pjo tv show #percy jackson and the olympians #heros of olympus #trials of apollo #pjo hoo toa #however if we do end up with a blond Nico or even a red headed Nico then i really hope the pjo fandom will not bash this ten year old. #as long as he plays the part well in the end it doesn't matter exactly what he looks like. remember Rick is part of casting. #if he makes a choice its the right one. We do not need more grown ass adults bullying children over a tv show. Leah went through that enough

#not to sound like a broken record #i know this has already been talked about a lot in current fandom discourse #but all the tommy love also comes from a place of #misogyny (buck’s m/f relationships failed bc the women weren’t good enough. but his first m/m is perfect and destined and tommy is god) #(even though we know next to nothing about them as a couple. cough 1 kiss and 1 failed date cough cough) #and biphobic concepts (buck’s only relationship/partner that is worth shipping and love and fandom time is the m/m one) #(if he’s with a woman he’s not worth our time? the relationship/partner isn’t worth our time. right?) #some people kinda sounding like the conservative haters right now #oliver stark’s voice shouting from afar: he isn’t gay! he is bisexual! he still likes women! #some people like to celebrate bi buck (as we should) but then erase his previous gfs #in favour of this 1 man he’s shared literally 4 scenes with. okay #<- <- <- i drafted this like 6 hours before that interview came out. ollie came to back me up with the ‘he still likes women’ lmao #him dating a guy now does not erase or dismiss his previous m/f relationships or that he’s still into women #one final comment. any time buck got with a girl it was ‘they need to break up immediately’ #‘she’s not right for him’ #he’s with his first guy and it’s ’they should be endgame’ #‘they’re perfect together’ #huh?? one. we barely know tommy/them together #two. what exactly makes them endgame material? bc they’re both men? cough biphobic misogyny fetishization cough #three. it would be objectively hilarious if he realises his sexuality and within 2 weeks is dating a guy for the first time #and then that guy ends up being his endgame forever partner. lmaoooo that would be so dumb sawry #not to mention it would kinda lean into the biphobia and misogyny mentioned above #in that it would suggest that his problem with finding love previously was… women #and this problem is now magically fixed because… man #four. not to be a buddie endgame truther but if all the vocal support means this is what we get instead #instead of Them. i’m out see ya bye bye #i am sooooo reading way too much into this but oh well

"omg its so annoying to have to see all these crossovers when i don't want to see them!"

Wow! If only there was some built-in ao3 function to solve this!

"well sometimes they still show up!"

Awww poor you, it must be so hard seeing all those crossover fics people worked hard to make and enjoy 😢 I guess the only solution is for you to make a rant post hating on people who like crossovers instead of, you know, taking barely a second to scroll past the fucking fic

#rant #fandom wank #contrary to what some people think the majority of crossover writers DO tag their stuff correctly #incorrect tagging is usually because of accidents (because hey we're only human) #or a flaw in the system (ie tumblr having a hard time filtering tags that have spaces) #ao3 has an extremely robust filtering system but it is far from perfect! #so its up to YOU as a reader to either curate your filters to tailor it EXACTLY to YOUR needs #or you act like an adult. suck it up. and simply ignore whatever fic happens to offends your eyes for the few milliseconds it takes #to scroll past it #ffs people it is literally that easy
