#the backlash is real

[fall-and-shadows]

Personally, I think there need to be more discussions about how detrimental liberal, faux feminism has been for girls. But men have no business commenting on feminism of any kind anywhere as far as I'm concerned

#is liberal feminism really even a thing anymore #or has it been completely compromised and coopted #also discussions on self identified feminists #bc i know my experiences with this cant be just me #they dont even support or believe women #the backlash is real

My thing about "they are artists charging for their work" as an artist who has charged for their work, albeit in a MUCH different context and scale.... Like. Yeah. I guess we aren't entitled to free work , that's so true. Just like they are not entitled to an audience and they can price themselves out of their work too. It sucks. That's what market research is for. Dropping a complete change like this with little transitional period is, what I would call, a bad move.

#'pay artists for their work' does not mean the artist will automatically get people who will find them and then pay the set price #they aren't entitled to it either sadly. #your audience looking at you and going 'I actually can't / won't pay for that' is part of the deal of creator and audience tbh #they probably estimated how many people would follow. I can imagine they didn't expect this much backlash. #thst backlash is important actually. (yes some of it is entitled petulant whining)(they aren't rich)(but most of the complaints are. real.) #watcher

The effort to turn every trans person into a political activist and place the burden of political leadership onto us is the same mindset as thinking trans lives are inherently political. Combating this means holding trans people to individual standards. If a trans person occupies political spaces, it should be because they have chosen to, not because people look at their transness and the "political implications" and it is all they can see

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #like i've seen it time and time again where a trans person vents about something and the backlash they recieve is for 'the optics' of it... #...it's a bad-faith reading of trans people expressing real emotions where we are taught that 'optics > well-being' #like if you think am individual trans person does as much harm as - say - a transphobic political leader then you have drank their kool-aid #you have fallen for the idea that transness is inherently other/political/unnatural and everybody else is the default/natural/neutral #THAT is why it's not cool to do that. it's not cool to treat trans people transphobicly #like i talk about politics a lot on here because there is intersection between my life and trans life and politics #but that's not my only 'use' and i'd hate for my political posts to be the only thing i'm good for #like as a trans person i am a human being even if you don't like to think that

As a big sibling with a lil sib with epilepsy, when they read TBC they Honestly thought if they got struck with lightning reciting the lord's prayer they'd be cured like Shadowsight is from their epilepsy. I had a discussion with them on how that's not how it works, but ge was so upset they took it away from Shadowsight that he hasn't picked the books back up and has stated that 'he hopes Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.,'

I do not even know how to respond to this besides saying that your little sibling is 100% right to be pissed and I now also hope Ashfur wins and starts a new religion.

#Legit I did not know that Shadow's epilepsy being taken away was so deeply upsetting to SO MANY people #I put it back because putting it back was just the right thing to do (even asked the small following I had at the time what type to portray #(they picked the full tonic-clonics. I would have just done localized or absence if they'd asked me to) #And I did all that research for one single anon who asked for an epilepsy herb guide #So holy cow I didn't know that SO MANY people were snubbed and upset by canon's choice to do that. I'm so sorry #Your little sib isn't missing anything btw they do just go on to confirm that Shadow no longer has seizures. #In book 4 of TBC they say that it was all Ash all along and that's what they've stuck with into ASC #I'm sitting on an essay about... That plot thread. The Ashfur Grooming one #But it's in my drafts because I was a bit afraid of controversy #because i think it was written poorly. Even on top of Book 4's pivot to retcon away Shadow's seizures #I know a lot of people like and are invested in the grooming subplot of TBC. But. I think it was executed AWFULLY #and its really telling that THIS is the plot they tout as grooming *by name* in-canon.-- #--and that Shadow has to 'pay' for what he 'did' in some way as if there was ever a choice in the books they wrote-- #--But seemingly didn't even seem to clock that what was happening in Spotted's H was grooming until there was intense backlash #and a big part of my contention is the way that Book 4 suddenly tries to retcon that Shadow was groomed from the time he was a child #when it was actually part of book 1 that Shadow was able to personally tell the difference between a real vision and Ash's suggestions-- #--BECAUSE he didn't have an accompanying seizure #So like... just know it's also NOT just 'you' if you connected to the character that was epileptic. It WAS there. It was a BIG part of him #Book 4 retconned it so that his epilepsy was part of a long scheme when before that point it was part of him #''ohh ur destiny is to see into the shadows'' BULL SHIT!! #bone babble

hope you guys aren’t too far in the fandom echo chamber to realize that his anger is fully justified and if he cuts off most online interaction it is fully deserved

#frank iero #ls dunes #old wounds #this isn’t fucking funny at all #wtf #find a real enemy #actually tho #people who have done actual bad things haven’t received as much backlash as these guys do for stupid shit

[lawbreaker13]

I’m not like a Smosh fan, I just watch some Smosh videos sometimes and follow literally only Shayne on Instagram and I thought that the photos were absolutely hysterical. Like I haven’t been thinking about it much today, I mentioned it to someone and we laughed about it, but suddenly I was like “oh shoot, tumblr’s gotta have some thoughts, huh?” and then lo and behold it’s trending. Hilarious.

Guys, stop caring if it’s real or not. They’re actual people and you need to chill. I didn’t know how absolutely psychotic Smosh fans got about all this. It’s seriously bonkers.

All we need to know is that Shayne Topp and Courtney Miller are two of the funniest people on earth. That’s it.

Now breathe.

#I don’t really care one way or the other #I personally think it’s real though #Because keeping your relationship a secret and then having a real wedding #And waiting to announce it on April fools day #When you’re literally a comedian for a living #Is downright hysterical and right up the Smosh alley #The logic is spectacular #They’re so funny #But if they announce it’s a prank #I’m a little worried about the backlash they’re gonna face #Y’all be crazy #Breathe #Smosh #Courtney Miller #Shayne Topp #Shourtney #Mine

the way people are always denying that sonic and tails are brothers whenever one or both of them appears in a sibling related poll is so sad. you hate little guys ? you hate family born of love and not genetics ? you hate youre my mom and dad and picket fence ?

#also ive noticed that nobody ever complains about other sets of adopted siblings being included? #or even characters who arent canonically siblings but are just headcanoned as such ? #its only ever sonic and tails that get that backlash and denial. even though theyre canonically brothers. i dont get it #sonic frontiers spoilers #< tagging because . i references a frontiers quote in the post #ive literally seen people say that sonic and tails arent real siblings #just because theyre mad that theyre beating their favorite set of blood related sibilngs on a tumblr poll #whihc is just so weird. like they may be fictional characters but i feel like that might be revealing some of your thoughts #about irl adopted siblings. #some people just dont know and arent assholes about it and only go ''wait tails has a sibling?'' and leave it at that #but again. i never see anyone say that sort of thing about any other characters in these polls. JUST sonic and tails. its so weird ?

you know it would have been so easy for the try guys not to throw shade at watcher like that takes effort

#watcher tv #watcher entertainment #try guys #watcher #sorry im kinda mad because um what the hell #with their platform and their privilege (yes privilege bc the two faces were literally just the two main white men) #and the fact they literally share fans i feel like the try guys (honestly just the two guys at this point lets be real) #should have been standing up for their 'friends' not beating them down but that's just my opinion! #there's a time & place for friendly ribbing/banter but after massive backlash and waves of hate/cruelty/god to honest racism is NOT it #for anyone who shit talked watcher tv and then turned around and praised the try guys massjve fuck you #don't buy watcher tv actually im sure watcher will do fine without u actually #sorry im bitter but like come on!!! come on!!! #gonna make this my last post on this i will restrain myself i will be so good for my own mental health

i say this all the time but could you imagine if i just came on here and started talking in all seriousness about how patrick represents the divine feminine and pure womanhood and i thought that having this belief made me better than other fans and smarter and more enlightened. like yeah i think maybe people would get annoyed by this

#and also i was a zionist whose parents had property in the west bank or something #which was the real reason that person got such tremendous backlash anyway #had nothing to do w gerard’s pussy

I'm so normal about the teensies.

I'm so normal about the teensies that I made a pre-Rayman origin story for the teensies. The teensies built the world lol, idc how inaccurate it is to the lore lol.

It's my interpretation, I get to decide the lore!

(THING TO NOTE: All of their designs are based on already existing teensies, whether it be canon or concept doesn't matter. If you can accurately figure out which teensies inspired who, I will give you a gold star🌟)

General plot synopsis: Polokus made the world. The fairies were also made; however, they were not "sentient" beings yet. All their births were from teeny terraforming of the land but that'll be explained in a later post. Anyways, the teensies were created not only to make sick beats with their noses, but to give the world guides and watchful keepers of order. Once every creature was created, Polokus took his leave, leaving all his "kids" to figure everything out. As one could imagine, that caused a lot of fighting over who's in charge. One teensy in particular knew in his heart he was built to lead. However, due to his short stature and insistence for violence, many did not even lend a passing glance.

When Polokus had a bad dream and a certain first nightmare invades the Glade, death in introduced into the world and no one knows how to deal with it. In a test of leadership and strength. This one teensy beat the odds, uniting every clan of teeny around, recruiting their most powerful fighters, and taking down the nightmare, restoring peace to the Glade.

Despite the win, there were still many rabid creatures running around, so in an attempt to establish order permanently, they "built" the Snoring Tree, the most middle part of the world where every teensy leader (and other creatures if needed) could come to discuss diplomacy and general plans of action (a knights of the round table kind of thing). It is where the Hall of Doors is located along with a direct link to the Livid Dead, which was established just a few years earlier. (After the Snoring Tree was made, that's when the fairies were "born" with Betilla being the first.)

However, his establishment of peace fell on it's face almost immediately due to teensy nature being lowkey selfish lol. The first "generation" of teensies was very good at this "guide and order keeper" job, but as each generation passed, more and more of the teensies' diplomatic mindset was pushed to the wayside in favor of a superiority complex. And when Betilla made Rayman as a protector of the Glade, many teensies lost interest in fighting themselves, leaving them very susceptible to attacks. That's why every creature ever is adamant in sticking these guys in cages. Cuz they're lowkey assholes who can't fight lol.

There are gonna be 10 important people to the plot, but I only got five finished right now. Their bios are below the cut:

_________

Aurthr the Grand Minimus (Fighter):

Aurthr is actually the First King in his prime. He was the first teensy made by Polokus, although he is not the "oldest" (like imagine a creator making ocs of different age ranges but they were all made at the same time). By default, he feels an entitlement to the first throne position in his kingdom, but before he is deemed "king", he has to go though a trial. That trial is ... defeating Jano! Yes, these are gonna be the group of teensies that defeat Jano and create the Livid Dead lol. But in order to do that, he needs to learn to be a leader. Along the way, he also learns that to be a grand leader, he needs to value solutions through diplomacy over violence (something that is lost in later generations *cough cough*).

Orion the Adventurous Ranger:

Orion is Aurthr's childhood best friend who comes from outside the castle walls. Being a Murkin (a clan of teensies that has since disappeared), he is very good at going undetected and just navigating the world outside of civilization in general. Despite his soft-spoken nature and cowardness, he really wants to make a difference for the better in teensy society, and it may just come around by teaching Aurthr to listen first before attacking (along with how to be an amazing Kungfoot player).

And yeah, he has ears. Ears are a recessive gene, but the Murkin were the clan that had that trait the most. (They usually get cropped if they're too big to hide in their hats.)

Sapphie the Beautiful Bard:

Sapphie is a teensy who's primary magic use is of the darker arts (hence her ability to go natural hair). Before being Aurthr's first recruit, she spent most of her days traveling about and doing small thieving jobs. She was a well-know musician, and she performed for money a lot. However, what she loves more than money is adventure. She immediately jumps onboard to Aurthr's crew, leading as healer until a different teensy joins the group later on and giving her the chance to fight. She teaches Aurthr about strength in presentation (and how to play his nose like a musical interment).

Umber the Undead Warlock:

Umber is one of the two mages that Aurthr sought out to help fight Jano. They are the Griskin Chief and trying their best to keep their people safe. This dedication to their people's safety led to a deal with a slumbering spirit, giving up their voice in exchange for power and sanctuary near his den. While constantly struggling to keep their clan quiet, they have been trying to manage the sudden influx in stressed out and scared ghosts showing up and causing a ruckus. Stressed and overwhelmed, it takes more than just some talking to convince them to go with Aurthr. But after helping with some big tasks and beating them in a game of Kungfoot, they decide to assist, and put a stop to whatever is killing everyone from above the bog.

Soria the Stunning Sorceress:

Soria is one of the two mages that Aurthr sought out to help fight Jano. Being part of the Sylkin sorcerers, she was the main protecter of Polokus's resting place high in the mountains. She is incredibly strong for a teensy in terms of magic, making her quite the formidable fighter. However, she would much rather sing and dance, and overall just have fun being alive than perform combat. She decides to help defeat Jano after being bested in music fight with Aurthr and having her eyes open to the destruction occurring down below.

She also has ears. They are long, but since her hat is also long there was no need to crop them.

__________

There are five more characters that will be posted later, but these are the important ones at the beginning of the story. I have a lot of this world thought out with a very solid plotline, so if y'all got any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them. Thank you for your reading all this and have a lovely day ^^

#literally the one thing this story DOESN'T have is a NAME #i've just been calling it the DnD teensies since conception lol #no idea if that will be permanent or not we'll see #also funny thing #i had a dream where this idea was stolen from me and when i posted this i got backlash for being unoriginal💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 #i think im original at least #it take a certain kind of delusion to write a whole ass story about obscure mentions headcanons and a character that has no real plot lol #rayman #rayman fanart #rayman hd #rayman 1 #rayman 2 #rayman 3 #rayman origins #rayman legends #teensy #teensies #rayman teensies #teensy oc #teensy ocs #dnd teensies #i think im just gonna call them that for now #also also feel free to make your own teensies inspired by this too #all you need to do is take a modern teensy and make them wear more interesting clothes really lol #(this works for ocs too lol) #katiekatdragon27

Building off of the theory that the magic is actually tied to Adachi’s insecurity, I would like to propose this headcannon — Maybe Kurosawa & Adachi didn’t actually sleep together when they kissed, and Adachi spent the night simply cuddling & consoling him. That would explain why he was so shocked in the morning when the magic was gone. It left him because he was ready to embrace emotional intimacy and put his partner’s emotional needs first.

And then maybe in the future they do sleep together, but also maybe they don’t. Neither of them have particularly strong feelings about sex. Kurosawa seems to view it as a ‘nice to have but not necessary’, and Adachi seems to view it as an ‘I’d be fine if it’s with him but I don’t mind much either way’. Maybe theirs is an ace or grey relationship.

#and yes I know that they are written asexually somewhat out of fear from homophobic backlash in real life #but I like the idea of playing with what was presented in terms of how it relates to his magic #cherry magic #cherry magic the movie
