#the contrarian is also up there

[juoreze]

a followup from my previous post! Finally got around to doing the last four voices, also featuring the worst roadtrip ever

#slay the princess #stp #black tabby games #the narrator would be the worst backseat driver i just know it #the contrarian is also up there #everyones struggling and the hunted is just sticking his head out of the window like a dog #idk if i actually like colouring the voices or if i should keep them as shadow puppets but its easier on the eyes this way

"i need grumbo to be more insane about each other this season" this and "i need more scarian" that, well i think that perhaps scar and mumbo should be more insane about each other. maybe even have their own robot child or cactus ring together. how about that.

#hermitcraft #hermitshipping #redscape #mcyt #maige's posts #NO YOU GUYS DONT UNDERSTAND I WAS GOING TO MAKE THIS JOKE BEFORE S10 #BUT THEN MR HES SO CUTE AND MR RUBBING UP OUR YEAH GOT THERE FIRST LIKE GOD DAMN #also im lying no one said the scarian thing on my dash but the grumbo was word for word more or less. if youre the op im sorry #its lighthearted i swear im first and foremost a mumscarian shipper i just wanted to be a contrarian shit #but apparently its just real now. whoops

Working on a stp au, so take the designs of the protagonists: two dysfunctional and amnesiac detectives and their equally dysfunctional amnesiac client! This surely can't go horribly wrong!

#theres mysteries afoot and theyre starting at a major disadvantage #slay the princess #slay the princess voices #stp #stp prisoner #the prisoner #voice of the skeptic #voice of the contrarian #stp au #noir au #its raining glass #inspired by the whole skeptic and contrarian would make a buddy cop duo thing #also the need to put skeptic in his natural enviroment (noir detective film) #anyway theyre off to speedrun fucking up their interpersonal relationships in real time

Shoutout to a bunch of voices crushing on the Razor

Voice of the Broken: She doesn't want us. Voice of the Contrarian: You're just saying that because you want her to be into you. Voice of the Broken: I know. I thought I was being obvious.

Voice of the Paranoid: Maybe it'll work! Maybe it'll throw her off. I know I'd be thrown off if she started flirting with us. Voice of the Contrarian: Yeah, because you'd be into it. Voice of the Paranoid: No comment.

Voice of the Stubborn: I'm into it. Voice of the Cheated: I can't say I mind either. If it weren't for all the cheating, I'd say she's pretty cute.

Bonus:

Hero doesn't know if he's into the Razor

#slay the princess #the razor #shifting quiet #broken paranoid stubborn cheated contrarian and smitten: I like the kind of woman who can actually just kill me #hey look! I did a thing #i'm sorry this is so funny #six of them! #hunted explicity doesn't want to flirt with her #opportunist cold and skeptic can't show up here #I didn't give smitten's line because everyone knows about him #got these quotes from tvtropes by the way #also love contra being the one to nudge his buddies and go like “you liiiikkke her don't you?”

*stumbles onto the stage, barely being able to keep standing as I grab the microphone*

I did it. They all have wings (and some tails) now

(you can’t see Para’s cus she keeps them hidden)

*falls over and dies*

#this didn’t took *as* long as the line up itself but still!! #and I also had to replace Hero for the updated design. and also slightly readjust it to fit with the rest of the line up #and lots of other characters had to be moved or adjusted to fit the wings in #appreciate my effort!! /lh /silly #slay the princess #stp voices #voice of the hero #voice of the contrarian #voice of the broken #voice of the cold #voice of the paranoid #voice of the smitten #voice of the opportunist #voice of the skeptic #voice of the stubborn #voice of the hunted #voice of the cheated #voices design #sal draws #finished drawing #(hopefully this is the last time I mess with their designs.

#first pic is an updated/edited ver of smth older to match design changes #and orikan... i know it makes sense for necrontyr to be fully covered up but hes such a petty contrarian that i think it feels right- #for him to throw traditional covered up clothing out of the window after he sees that his generation will not die. #idk. was thinking about it a lot i have more to say but its probably not interesting #orikan the diviner #skitarii #iron hands #oc: pallarex #oc: mu-15 #necrons #i have so much to say abt orikan man... so much to think abt so much to say. i love him. hes so... #also i just finished reading severed and it ruined my whole day i cant focus on anything noone told me it was gay FOR REAL #and its the most touching and heartwrenching love story ive ever read in my life and maybe one of my fav stories ive read full stop #fucking necrons man its too much. theyre so heartbreaking. #i will draw obyron sometime... i wanted to today but i slept all yesterday and a lot of today so im too sleepy to do anything except be sad #(over having read severed) #oc #wh40k

hey, your video compilation of 4chan post about shield is a great ressource for fandom psychology. Interesting to see another user who lurk the wrestling board and use tumblr. Did you ever work on compilation of the tumblr fandom during the peak of the shield era ? I did not research it yet. xoxo

glad someone liked that video, only in times when im super fixated on something will i end up searching through the 4chan archives for more content...unfortunately 4chan vernacular tends to get a laugh out of me (if it isnt absolute lowtier content, had to scrape through a lot of that). the shield stuff i tried to get from when it was at its peak and you'll see posts on there from 2013+, but i also got modern stuff now bc the boardspeak actually changed with it.

ironically it is way easier to deepdive and compile stuff from 4chan bc it has a much better archival system than tumblr; ive also looked for lots of old stuff on deviantart due to the crossover but i found that it has a pretty shitty way of archiving/sorting older posts (just like on here. ive been on tumblr since 13 so i know what sorts of areas to look for, but its still very hard to find it directly on here. i havent spent as much time as i did getting those posts for that video so i can try harder.)

fandom psychology is interesting to me too so im happy you saw my video with that angle. ive collected lots of old shield fangirl content off of sites like weheartit and pinterest (ironically those are often better at keeping images up for longer periods of time) too but i didnt know if i should make a comp, maybe i will. i also looked through random forums and places like lolcow dot farms (which only really granted one of the screenshots...not too much discussion over there for good or bad. i was hoping to find discussion abt shieldfangirls or wrestling rpf but surprisingly they didnt think to make a "point and laugh" thread abt those topics). i find it interesting how much shieldrelated psychosis was on both sides of the spectrum (tumblr vs 4chan)....i could talk more on it but im a little brainless and sleep deprived rn

heres some extras i had that didnt make the cut (plus just some of my favorites):

and these were from a thread talking abt the modern stereotypical tumblr wrestling fan (specifically talking abt aedubs young bucks fans/the elite fans)

(*fangirl in this is a term im using loosely of course)

#surprisingly there is actually LESS shield blingees than dx or cm punk blingees. that at least i could find. theres a large number of #desktop background edits from deviantart and content like the fanfic edits/“outfits i would wear to meet the shield”/ogflowercrown phone bg #collages. and the like. i could compile all this shit i just didnt think it mattered to anyone LOL #sorry for the long post everyone #the most interesting thing abt the shields hayday and eventual fall on 4chan was 1) how many guys unironically loved seth up until he #“turned shoot faggot”/or the first knee injury. he was a fan favorite on there even with the contrarian posters saying otherwise (most of #4chan is just being. the contrarian so that tracks). and 2) the huge divide between guys who hated ambrose (usually bc he was over with #female fans...theres still that divide with how straight men dont understand favs among women. also goes along w my noted difference in fav #among queer men/women etc etc - but they would mask this by saying they hated that he was a jobber (true) or his inring technique was slopp #) and guys who adored ambrose bc he was a promo guy...they loved his early promos/“he just like me fr”.. (and a large grouping of dudes who #would call him cute). i dunno just stuff i noticed #also. obviously a lotta mox hate due to dickriding cornette #the shields peak is interesting to me so i might continue to compile more shit like this when i get the time. i have the shield dvds too #and wanted to do a LONG journey of p1rat1n6 all their scenes off of pcock while i still have my sub. but it would take a while #also. love ur acc bc i too enjoy thinkin abt the fem versions of dude wrestlers #fleshclipstag #tactical-asks

I kind of hate this new trendy sentiment that queerbaiting is somehow superior to actual canon queerness. my guys the problem is that a lot of people don't seem to fucking know how to make genuinely interesting queer media. in what world does that mean let's go back to queerbaiting

#also I'm happy for you that it's all fun and games to you but #not to be Earnest™ but queerbaiting has caused actual suffering to me and people i care about #and i can't believe the value of queer art and stories that have been crafted with intend is so lost on you #like i get it you wanna be edgy and contrarian but come on. for fucks sake grow up #*intent

[ofcowardiceandkings]

like fully so many people i know who dont actively ship it / care that much are like "yeah theyre basically married in TotK" lmao

mm tastes like vindication bro

#one of them is someone who said i was reading into it too much in BotW as well lmfaaoooooo get rekt #in fairness he is also just a contrarian bitch who likes to disagree with me to wind me up but gnskhfksdj #rory's ramblings

[ravenkings]

i, personally, have no intention of seeing blonde, but i do agree that watching the tendency in some internet/fan spaces of engaging in art and culture criticism purely as a metric as to whether one work or another should be allowed to exist based on a system of black-and-white moral judgement seeping into the critical mainstream to be.......troubling.......to say the least

#that being said i increasingly wonder how much of these kinds of controversies (re: blonde but also don't worry darling etc.) #aren't astroturfed....... #i read something somewhere the other day about how when you recommend a series/movie to someone #oftentimes it will just go to the bottom of their never ending ''to watch'' list #however if you drum up controversy around it/try to ''cancel'' it #that almost guarantees an audience (either of reactionaries/contrarians but also people who are just curious) #it's really just baby simple reverse psychology #and like......even if this particular situation isn't astroturfed i wonder if we won't be seeing more of that in the future......... #art #writing #twitter

little clip from a Just King things patreon ep. talking about the 2017/2019 IT films

#ppp #lb #:( clown movie #im saving this for myself mostly; i do think that what they touch on here is mad apt tho && i KNOW ive seen it be talked about by others #wrt childhood being kinda inescapable in these in a certain way idk.. or like. u cant change in a kinda sense or smth #& ig. i kinda wonder if thats part of why younger gays on this site particularly latched on - esp to the fic side - like a twinning of #*ur still yrself when u grow up with 'but one day you'll get it all !' or smth iygm? #which -tbh- i kinda buck against a little; in part bc im a contrarian but also like. idk.. knowng the same ppl forever seems SO stifling lo #sorry 4 going on so much lmao; i need 2 go back 2 watching ppl get ripped apart

[ccarrot]

another thing that really throws me off about these current 'batfam' comics that dc is putting out keep bringing out what they intend to be epic team moments but then like. Beat up all the side heros and have bruce save the day himself. Its very pointless.

#It always follows this pattern of duke steph and cass show up to get beaten up #Dick also gets beaten up but he's slightly more helpful and gets more speaking lines. #barbara doesnt help in some way. Jason strikes out on his own to be contrarian. #And. Idk it ranges with tim but he's either sorta helpful or just not around lol.

my favorite thing about like, proshippers who make liking “problematic” things their whole personality, is when they pick a random popular and completely normal ship and try to treat it like it’s ~~~PROBLEMATIC~~~ to suit their edgy internet persona when it’s the most noncontroversial take ever

#babbles #like some sc/p proshipper on here who acts like br/ightgl/ass is like. problematic proship #as if it’s not one of the most popular lukewarm take ships in the fandom #i also saw someone do this with hawk/leaf wc when like… it’s not abuse or anything it’s just dramatic #in general i don’t like proshippers Period but the funniest ones to me (derogatory) are the ones who like #treat being ‘problematic’ as a genre in and of itself like HERES A LIST OF PROBLEMATIC SHIPS FOR YOU<33 it’s just so #transparent how desperate they are for attention and making being edgy and contrarian their whole schtick #completely making up some nonsense incest ship for no reason other than to Pwn The Antis #like alright man do you have any other slogans from hot topic

[onewomancitadel]

I'll reserve judgement until I actually play TOTK but they did a story-heavy Zelda once which elevated the gameplay and its mechanics and it was great, without leaning into twee anime tropes

#mean mean mean big bully opinions about BOTW oncoming: #seriously don't read if you like BOTW #Zelda's entire character arc is insufferable and I could not give less of a shit #the character writing was weak and stereotypical but not joyfully mythic #I'm not generally a fan of a story where Zelda is very young and childish; my favourite Zelda characterisation will always be the aloof #and slightly alien Zelda #burdened by myth #most notably TP's Zelda contrasted against the more humanistic and playful Midna #(I know Zelda of OOT is a young girl but she grows into a woman (and Sheik)) #I know that at Nintendo there was always a conflict over story-heavy Zelda with Miyamoto #and MM got away with it because it's a weird fucking game #but it's a soulful game #BOTW (and what I've seen of TOTK) just feels like 'this is video game writing with a cute boy and a cute girl' #which is like. okay. I get it. Zelda's not for me anymore #and I know I might be wrong #I know I'm the odd one out! #anyway if it has decent gameplay and doesn't exhaust me with open world bullshit maybe I'll end up having fun #I know I knowwwwww MM fans can be so superior and annoying and also none of them get that it's ultimately a hopeful game #because they're contrarian edgelords

lennier can be an incel AND delenn can be a manipulative bad influence and i think the fact that i have dug my own grave dead center in that venn diagram because it's the funnest way to interpret canon is going to eventually get me completely dogpiled by people who passionately only believe one of those things, regardless of which side, if i ever enable anon lol

#og #lenncourse #to be cleeeeear #i actually don't rly think lennier had incel-levels of conscious entitlement in mind and i also think delenn had some good intentions #neither of them are bad people but they are people so they are Both imperfect #and regardless of what ideas i personally vibe with best i also think it's fun to explore diff/more extreme ideas to see what canon can #comfortably support - esp due to how many people walk away with so many diff interpretations! it's interesting to understand why #but like........ the moment i dig into any of those messier traits with balanced intent it kinda gets misconstrued as me seeing them #solely in negative lights rather than those traits being interesting parts of a whole that i want to further explore #or there's a neglect of recognition that i also think the other character has flaws too in their weird little dynamic #and while i get why it's easy to do that based on stray tumblr posts i feel the need to clarify that every time #because i can be quite jokey about it and that also does not help when touching on something almost every person who #has ever seen the show already has such intense opinions and feelings abt so they've made up their minds about anything contrarian #meanwhile although i have my preferred interpretations and occasional political sensitivity they're just... dolls to play with to me #and it is genuinely so unfortunate that nuanced discussions about them are so un-allowed because there is SO much to mine there #and so many interesting interpretations to entertain regardless of liking/believing them personally or not #for people like me who at least are open to that rather than understandably wanting to stick to one preferred thing #as long as sticking to one thing =/= making it other people's problem #anyway! periodic clarification disclaimer over that is not actually going to be read by anyone who needs to read it
