Love - Gather Round (1969)

Sound-wise this song from Love’s 5th LP seems like a return to the folk-rock of their self-titled debut LP.  The lyrics are another story:

Gather ‘round people as fast as you can I'm gonna tell another story ‘bout an animal called man Well, he struts all around with his tailor made suits But his mind is all filled up with bullshit

#Love #Gather Round #Out Here #Arthur Lee

Футболът в Сидни отчаяно се нуждае от Gather Round на AFL - но Аделаида го заслужава

Футболът в Сидни отчаяно се нуждае от Gather Round на AFL - но Аделаида го заслужава #AFL #AFLBulgaria #АФЛ #GatherRound

Главният изпълнителен директор на AFL Гилън Маклахлан и премиерът на Южна Австралия Питър Малинаускас се споразумяха да удължат присъствието на Gather Round в Аделаида до 2026 г. Когато в средата на 90-те години на миналия век Голямата награда на Формула 1 се премести от Аделаида в Мелбърн, това беше съкрушителен удар върху психиката на жителите на Южна Австралия. Знам, защото съм един от тях.…

Transmasc Swag Polls- ROUND 1

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

CANONICITY LEVELS-

JACE: Gender Tomfuckery METTATON: CANON Transgender Man. Robot. Guy

MEDIA? Magic the Gathering, UTDR series JACE PROPAGANDA- Jace Beleren is a world traveling telepath, illusionist, and accidental high profile politician. He’s bisexual and dates terrifyingly powerful women. He’s accidentally given himself amnesia twice and regularly erased individual memories at certain points in his life. At one point he switched bodies with a man who looked exactly like him which was pretty trans in my opinion. If you want a more detailed account of how trans Jace is ask @jacebeleren on tumblr Canonically uncomfortable with his appearance and height compared to other men (uses illusions to look taller/more attractive), called a freak for his identity as a child. His pussy game is insane METTATON PROPAGANDA- SPOILERS AHEAD for Deltarune Chapter 2

[Pollrunner's Note: Propaganda written entirely by myself.] We meet Mettaton in the game mid-transition (in his calculator form) and his entire boss battle is fought after he transforms into the new body his scientist friend, Alphys, made for him. His entire involvement in the game prior to this was him messing with and threatening the protagonist just to make Alphys look good, which is honestly friendship goals.

We meet the character that's likely meant to be his pre-transitioned self, Nobody, in Deltarune, who is notably more withdrawn. Much of the events tied to Chapter 2's secret boss are implied to have him as an unintentional catalyst, as Swatch describes how he'd helped "a lightner" achieve their dreams by designing a robot body that JUST HAPPENS to resemble Mettaton's. How Mettaton's story continues in Deltarune's universe will be determined by future chapters.

[rimouskis]

could you explain more about what you view as the before era and what you view as the after? i need to learn my herstory

I think this requires a more detailed and educated/researched answer than I can give after an exhausting workday and an after-hours work event, but I'm going to do my best and also open up the floor in reblogs for people to chip in their thoughts

foremost: a DISCLAIMER that this post does not aim to shit on writers from the "before" era. there are many classic fics that I love and enjoy, even if I consider their characterizations to be "less accurate"* than the ones we have in the after era.

*aside to say: accuracy is based only off of literal media accounts we have of these men; we do not know them, we should not claim to know them, and they have had different comfort levels with the media knowing selective truths about their lives [sid out of choice, geno out of media xenophobia] than they did when these early fics were being written.

"before" fics (which I tend to refer to as "classic" fics, and had their heyday in 2012-2013 but continued up until 2016ish) tended to have more regimented roles for sid and geno. sid was usually the protagonist; geno was the love interest.

this came with a cascading set of characteristics assigned to each guy. sid was poor-little-meow-meow'd. geno was the pursuer in the relationship. sid usually bottomed. sid had the whole spacetoaster moment (he was the inspiration for the term, haha). there wasn't much a/b/o fic but sid was, like, the omega-fied one and geno was alpha-ized.

something I've been thinking about more recently is how 2012-2013 era sidgeno displayed signs of Migratory Slash Fandom. I don't think of MSF as an inherently negative/condemning thing, but I think it's a phenomenon that deserves to be mentioned/analyzed, yeah?

MSF thrives on big character differences.... like, grumpy/sunshine, sarcastic/broody, genius/empath. it's all about emphasizing disparate archetypes to create natural tension in a story. this works really well in most romance novels! I love it!

the issues arise when people try to make characters fit into these preset dynamics. and, frankly, when sidgeno first got big, we straight-up didn't know as much about sid and geno. I mean that. despite sid being EXTENSIVELY covered by media from age, like, 14, he was really tight-lipped compared to what we have now.

and geno was.... there. I don't mean that as a diss—he was INCREDIBLE, but the media totally passed him over again and again. or they helped contribute to stereotypes of him being a dumb oaf who didn't know english.

aside: ironically I think that helped in creating sidgeno and not, like.... sidflower or sidtanger. geno was so "DIFFERENT" from sid (aka: russian, characterized by media as not knowing how to speak [in comparison to sid's highly curated media soundbites]) that it meant he was the best candidate for A Ship with sid.

a lot of the really big writers who got into sidgeno were fandom veterans with lots of experience in other big fandoms. to me, that means MSF had a hand in all this. and we should be grateful, because it led to the BOOM of hockey fic, and of sidgeno fic specifically. modern hrpf wouldn't exist without it.

that being said, those template ship dynamics, plus the media's attitude then towards sid and geno in its coverage, led to those characterizations of whiny soft sensitive boy sid who needed to be rescued even though he was the best hockey player EVER, and geno as the lumbering tall strong alpha not-that-bright Love Interest Man.

this isn't to say every fic was this way, or that this is BAD. I, uh, love poor-little-meow-meow-ing sid and omegafying the hell out of him. what I'm saying is that it was a near-ubiquitous characterization across the board.

that all changed in 2016-2018. I personally wholly credit sevenfists, though I imagine it's more nuanced than that, but: my blog, I make the rules here. I don't know if sevenfists was psychic or just highly observant and absolutely excellent at reading people (and that's basically the same thing, right?), but characterization shifts began taking place in fic....

and the coolest thing happened, in that those characterizations were seemingly reinforced by more media coverage. the back to back cups brought with them TONS of interviews with and media about the team, and sid and geno in particular. the coolest part of it was that sid had loosened up a LOT and geno had gotten more comfortable (and had gotten a reporter firmly on his side).

the interviews about sid post 2016 were just SO different. so much information started coming out, and a LOT of it conflicted with Ye Olde Characterizations. as it turned out, sid was deeply one of the boys. he was funny. everyone liked him. he loved hosting. he was insanely comfortable around almost everyone, including strangers, because he's a little freak who's kind to everyone. he can make smalltalk like no one's business. he's kind of gross. he likes to giggle and be in on jokes and get into the thick of it. he isn't some blushing virgin bride sold off of mario's doorstep, yeah?

and geno, too, was finally getting the coverage he deserved. and his personality was both fortified by age and better shown to us through media. as it turns out, he isn't some happy go lucky oaf. he's mercurial and intensely aware of what others think of him (and he CARES). he's sensitive and thoughtful but also can lash out at random times. he has a wicked sense of humor that he uses as a defense mechanism and as a surefire way to get people to like him, which matters to him. and, as everyone says, he is SMART.

if you had to boil it down, I'd say that post-2016, it became clear that SID is the confident one and GENO is the insecure one. and fic caught onto that with a miraculously fast pace. also: they're more alike than they are different, but I still think romance inherently feeds off of difference and tension, so we still exaggerate things to make the stories ✨WORK✨.

I'm not going to give examples of pre- and post- era fics, because I don't want to point any fingers and say someone was doing characterization "wrong." that's not the takeaway I want anyone to have here.

fandom attitudes have changed. it's been 10 years since that first wave of fics, and while I don't think that's very long, it's a hell of a long time on the internet, and in a niche internet community. what was once the standard for fics (and what was well-read, and what people gravitated towards) was different. not worse—different.

I think it's fair to say the "after" era of fics is more "accurate" to what we know of sid and geno. it's also fair to say that this is only the case because we have a WEALTH of information, character-revealing interviews and videos and anecdotes, that Ye Old Authors could only dream of getting.

I really love the story of how everything has changed, and it's a fabulous microcosm of fandom evolution and how approaches to fanworks have changed and grown with fandom, and I think it's all so so cool.

#additions welcome! #I also feel like I've made this post before lol #gather round children it's time for granny rimouskis to spin the tale of the sidgeno evolution once more

Round 2 - Group 3B

Submission notes under cut. Some submissions had notes others did not:

Perona:

her fight with usopp was basically them running away from each other crying and when she gets the upperhand she ends up losing HARD bc she got scared of the fake roaches he threw at her. she gets knocked out bc usopp hits her with an inflatable hammer that said "10 tons" on it and she fell for it. then when she tries to escape she gets sent to a spooky island where she proceeds to freeload off a random goth dude. i love her and her cringefail patheticness shes so great also shes goth so its a double win

goth girl who freeloads in a cooler goth dude's house. constantly whining and crying. lost a fight against the most pathetic snivelling main cast member because she was scared of cockroaches. throws temper tantrums when things don't go her way (they never do)

her devil fruit power's main weakness is a man who pretends to be a guy called "sniper king" all because he was a depressed and anxious mess (she is also not much better btw)

Liliana Vess:

She tried going on the run by disguising as a school professor by just taking off her headband and changing her name, no other appearance changes. She even left the headband on a stand in her office. She has PTSD over someone sacrificing himself for her but instead of thinking it could possibly be any form of trauma she blamed it on not being able to get a specific type of honey for her tea. She poses like a Conquistador being painted on the regular. In the end she was so toxic she couldn't even pull Jace Beleren, possibly the most pathetic man in all of existence. She thinks she's a girlboss but is just a girlfailure. She worked for a guy named Nicol Bolas who people call Nick Balls and who I first misheard somehow as Nickelback and I feel that's pretty cringe. She doesn't even know what a mango is and has to have it explained to her.
