#I love how we as a fandom went

[jacuzziwaters]

Why is the fandom so insistent on adding angst and depressing lore to a movie that was already so heart wrenching?

#i didn't have to know about the what ifs for if Leo didn't make it #and why are we theorizing how Raph and Donnie died sacrificing themselves #oh God and future April #i didn't even see that scene until Tumblr #please never change #I love how we as a fandom went #yeah that was sad and all #but we can make it worse #rottmnt movie #rottmnt #save rottmnt #rise of tmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles movie #rise of the tmnt movie #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the turtles #rise tmnt #rise tmnt movie #jay's attempts at communicating

Also just since my one jack-psychosis post made its rounds i’d love to add on these things for extra salt in the wound:

-> “jack smiles, so happy to be so needed, so loved.”

-> “they’ll never want to be friends again.” [“and that’s important to you?”] “they raised me. taught me to be who i am.”

#HE LOVED THEM SO MUCH NO WONDER HE WENT INSANE OVER LOSING THEM 😭😭😭 #also can this be the start of the fandom actually talking about him….paychisus included we are simply very lacking in jack meta #we’re lacking any acknowledgment of jack that isn’t a condensed ableist mischaracterization lmao #spn #supernatural #jack kline #sam winchester #dean winchester #tfw2.0 #castiel #spn scripts #spn meta #spn 14x19 #cannot stress enough that the idea of him as just being their adoptive baby to fix everything and make it all domestic is a gross #misrepresentation of how TFW2.0 actually works and how exactly jack feels about them #they’re his friends they’re his dads they’re IMPORTANT to him and he’s not only willing to harm/risk/sabotage himself for them #but he’s also very VERY willing to kill for them too #which is also highly glossed over in the fandom bc precious smol bean-ification runs rampant around here but i digress #guy who would very easily destroy the world because his surrogate fathers are his world 😝😝🥹

just an fyi, and it feels like it needs to be said here: your blog is your own space and you should be able to say whatever the fuck you want. if you’re sad? vent. get sad. maybe put it under a cut, definitely tag it, but get sad. if you feel like you need someone to talk to? drop a freaking message about how you’re feeling like you could use a buddy, or anything randomly engaging. if you’re having a hard time, you should feel safe and okay to talk about it in your own space. we’re writers and we’re people and while there’s a lot to be said for how engagement outside of oneself is necessary in rp (and really really needs to improve), i think there’s a lot that must be said about people reaching out to others. it’s become so solitary here — the whole ‘reblog from source’ thing when it comes to shit like about and musings is absurd. the whole refusing to like things is ridiculous. yes, curate your space, that’s important, but curating your space into a studio apartment only you live in doesn’t make this a community anymore, it makes it a studio apartment you live in.

just be yourself here. do whatever you want. but i’m always saying: remember you’re not alone, and don’t let yourself feel that way.

#ooc. o kaptain. #[this is illogically worded and after an argument I’m already upset but I just felt like this has to be put here. it’s been sitting on my #brain for so long and it’s something i just wanted to discuss. the way the rpc has become not even an echo chamber just… a shitty ny #apartment only one person lives in that can fit your fridge and your bedroom in the same room. the way literal fandoms have divided each #other through nothing but massive senses of entitlement and so much gatekeepy fucking language. it’s exhausting to watch this happen #literally all because i have no idea where interaction went and yes I’ve been virtually inactive for months now but. it absolutely isn’t for #lack of trying to come back. it’s hugely due to a lack of interaction whenever I reach out and then the feeling like I’m being either #entertained or dismissed. this is a social space and we’re people and everybody just needs to recognize that. like. last week my introverted #broski started discussing how as he’s older he feels loneliness more tangibly but he hates people and i looked right at him and said …yeah #dude. that’s natural. we’re humans. we need each other to live. we need spaces we create and communities we make. but like. there need to be #interactive people in those spaces. we’re social creatures. i love you guys and this is a ramble but… it’s been on my mind awhile. and #frankly? feels kinda good to finally speak my mind.]

Hilarious that the same people defending any and all questionable choices the Bad Kids make (namely Kristen lbr) by saying "They're just kids! They have all this trauma and it's fucked up to expect teens to be good and nice all the time!" are the same people insisting that Kipperlily is an evil bitch and the Ratgrinders deserve to die.

#it's almost like the rules of empathy and nuance only apply to characters you like 🙃 #we know absolutely nothing of significance about the Ratgrinders #and i can't wait for Brennan to remind us of that #you want to complain about Kipperlily using her families money to try to buy the campaign??? #The entire shrimp party that kicked off Kristen's campaign was bankrolled by her rich friend #Adaine is a total bitch to anyone who isn't in her immediate friend group #Fig is a literal full time criminal at this point #they have at least 50+ murders under their collective belts at this point #the only verified difference between the Bad Kids and the Ratgrinders at this point is that we know nothing about them #I hope they are the biggest red herring Brennan has ever pulled #because I feel like there are people in this fandom who are so used to self-identifying as victims that they've become full bullies #and they're projecting that shit in some really gross ways #The same way Brennan had to remind Adaine that she wasn't the only one with a shitty life when she was dunking on Zayne? #how about we all take a big step back and try to have a little more perspective #instead of jumping straight to being triggered by a CHILD who had the audacity to not love your faves behavior #let me die #if i die #d20 fhjy #fhjy #dimension 20 #kristen applebees #kipperlily copperkettle #the bad kids #the ratgrinders #we have no context on what those kids went through in all the time the Bad Kids have been running around doing other shit #Aguefort is an awful school and their friend is dead #maybe she has a reason not to like the super special “chosen one” that got personally resurrected by the principal and keeps failing upwards #i didn't want to be a Kipperlily defense page #but the energy of the Kipperlily hate reeks of double-standards and unprocessed high school bitterness

I miss you Lorna… this is such a mess

This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope you’re all doing well!! I’m sorry to see nothing has improved.

I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. 💕

Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.

The video is still on YT.

#Anywayyyyy #The fandom added a whole lot more C to my C-PTSD #So a nice random message every few months instead of a freshly posted death wish is LOVELY. #Don’t fret. On meds and therapied but fresh tf out of money from it so @ L and H… lornasaurusrexx at g*ail is the PayPal if ur bored 🙃 #I hate to be like this but protect your hearts. They’ll never be able to look out for you guys and they feed these trolls ammo for snacks #and it seems to have only gotten worse. Gotta keep them hets hetbaited for their money whilst actively encouraging them to bully yall? Why? #STILL!? At this point it feels like they’ve both chosen that path deliberately now and I find it quite gross. but I’m also very far removed #So don’t worry about my opinions. Keep trusting your own intuition!!! You all see it. I love you guys and your beautiful hearts and empathy #But I hope they can sleep at night knowing the absolute fucking genuine WRECKAGE they left across the Big Gay War generation/era of Larries #Don’t worry guys I’m just as dramatic as ever. None of this has anything to do with them coming out or anything. Just how we were treated. #But trust I fuckin mean that shit from the deepest darkest pit of my Demon Larrie™️ heart. They encouraged this. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #Anyone who cares about my actual life updates: I’m a school nurse now and will be working at a bougie summer camp over break #Had a surgery I needed. Got new tattoos and piercings. In a happy and healthy relationship with the best dude for almost a year now. #OH and I went to New Zealand last year with Prettytruthsandlies!!!! We made a pact back in our Big Gay War/college days to go. And we DID!! #I got overstimulated and overfed and puked in Hobbiton. 🤣 (It was the best time of my LIFE GENUINELY🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹) #Okay BYE LOVE YOU GUYS #There are better and more humane ways to maintain a closet ..like literally STFU entirely. Ignoring it and not exploiting a kid is FREE #🇵🇸

cumbersome and heavy body

#warp darkmatter #buzz lightyear of star command #hi everyone can we talk about warp ive been dying to talk about warp #like... thinking about how hes canonically disabled. he is missing a hand!!! that is so important to me and i think about it a lot #yes hes all that primadonna girl bubblegum bitch electra heart etc . but also he is an amputee! and that makes him so interesting to me.. #i love to think about how a guy like warp deals with the missing of a hand both in the lost-it-during-tab and lost-it-in-the-past scenarios #like how much time it took him to adjust or how he went through physiotherapy with gritted teeth. THINK ABOUT IT! #he loves to put up fronts and be that suave arrogant kinda guy but also has chronic pain and takes off his stupid hand first chance he gets #so its interesting to consider eg how much itd take him to admit that his bitchin hand is also stupid and heavy and he gets tired... #not to romanticise disability btw it just gives him delicious dimension and . you know!!!! #i wish it was explored more in the fandom lol i know it gets swept under the rug bc of scifi perfect bionic cyborg limbs fantasy #but i want more content of warp sans his hand... just doing mundane shit... living his life... representation..! #and not like 'warp lives and sleeps with his prostetic and it feels natural to him ^_^' dont erase his disability!!!!!!! #drawpost #origpost #also his suit is fucked in this art LOL my pipeline for this piece was horrid. dont ask me about my layers im deeply ashamed.

i have a lot of thoughts on minos in relation to pasiphae and the minotaur (both greek mythological and in ultrakill) but i dont really want to make a lot of posts abt it considering. the topic is generally hard to talk about.

#like i dont wanna go around claiming that the myth went 1:1 in ultrakills lore #because for example sisyphus was more based off a book rather than his mythology (thank god) #so minos might be only loosely based on his mythological counter part as well #but like. the fact that with the introduction of the minotaur enemy we KNOW the minotaur thing actually happened? jesus fuck #like we KNOW ultrakill minos thinks that the people of lust are only punished for loving eachother.... #while his real life mythological counterpart got mad at his wife for essentially being raped by proxy and she had to defend herself saying #why would she want that. she was cursed/forced to do that because minos didnt sacrifice that bull to poseidon #like i KNOW why that was never really brought up in ultrakill that would be. a weird topic to bring up in a funny robot shooter #and i dont think you could accurately handle the themes of rape through lore books you find in levels of the game #but theres just. something about minos willfully thinking his wife did that of her own accord and him refusing to think about how lust #carries more than people who had sex a lot in ultrakill. #again the myth MAY be different in ultrakill. maybe he never even accused his wife of that. maybe he was more understanding #but theres a non zero chance he did #he could be willfully ignorant and think his wife willingly cheated on him. he thinks everyone in lust is innocent/only had consensual sex #because the alternatives are too gross/immoral for him to think about #it might be because i sympathize a lot with greek mythology women but finding out that the thing with pasiphae happened in ultrakill #DID happen made me lose respect for minos. #... also towards a lot of the fandom for joking abt it. #rape tw

have you played the newest loz game?? your fics for the series are my favourite ever

so here's the deal. i bought totk the day it released. i got it. i started playing it but then we went on our long awaited planned it for 3 years 1 week vacation and less then 48 hours after i'd returned from that BAM, i was in australia. and what was there to do now? we played taiko, dog, so much taiko, we lived together, 3 college kids in an apartment with a balcony with a view of the city skyline. it was the craziest thing i'd ever done. i loved and cried and fought and learned and grew and got so mf good at taiko and learned that there was still more to do and cooked and cut onions and ate obscene amounts of yogurt and then when it was over it was already august and we were standing at the airport sobbing into each other's shirts not wanting to let go but eventually we did we got on our planes home and then, only then, did i find the space in my heart and schedule and hands to play totk. three weeks later, i was in america

photo intermission end

the real problem at the heart of this affair is that i still haven't found my motherfucking glider. where the fuck is it. i've combed the map north to south east to west i've found every goddamn character in the game but purah. purah you selfish selfish lady. where are you? where are you??????

photo intermission

photo intermission end

and so it was that they would not finish totk not for another several months not for possibly years. which is not to say that i don't want to, i miss writing fanfiction, i missed the drama and the scope of our ambitions and the burning need to write write write but i was also madly depressed and anxious and not doing well and that's where the writing came from, yknow dog? it existed because there was nothing else i could do. it saved my life. and now i am no longer in need of saving, now i've saved myself, i've been searching for years and years for the place where i can have my friends and lovers and stories and also have this. i still haven't found it. but i'll let you know when i do

#replies #it's a hard thing to juggle Life #you see. idk how the fuck people with jobs still hang out in fandom like that shit's wild to me #my farts are extra smelly today. i also go to one of those liberal arts schools where if you dont put in the work u actually do die #and i enjoy the work. and the taiko. god the taiko #guys i started playing taiko because of my ex and then i played more than her and got better and i love taiko so much #i want to do it for the rest of my life dude. that's where all my time went #instead of going home in the evening i go to the studio and we DON KON DOKO DON DOKONKO DOROTSUKU #and it's so good. i feel strong (will be stronger when i fix my health problems) and alive and good #and that's where the part of my heart i saved from writing fanfiction on the internet is right now i think #what can i say. it's fucking beautiful out here #im glad i wrote what i mustt admit is pretty damn good zelda fic. im glad im here right now #so it goes

what httyd thw? there’s no httyd thw /sarcasm

i’ve blocked everything post thw out of my mind, they don’t exist to me

Yeah... thw? So glad it was just an odd phenomenon of a widespread hallucination every httyd fan collectively experienced in 2019.. I don't know what I'd do if it was real....

#but fr i rewatched it a month or two ago bc i hadnt in a while and i was doing a binge of the franchise #and i had to get up and pace after while ranting to my mother all the ways its bad and wrong #(dw she agreed she also didn't like it distinctly remember her coming out of the theater disappointed and shes not even that big a fan 😭) #then i went to my room and rewatched httyd1 with filmakers commentary on the dvd to try and refresh my mind #httyd #ask #lil-dragon-draws #moth.txt #also love how thw is the httyd fandoms rott we all just ignore it for the most part

My progressive reactions to the Persona 3 Reload news/announcements

ATLUS: Persona 3 Reload is real, and it's coming to XBox Series X! ME: Fuck YES! ONLINE RETAILER: It's also coming to PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. ME: ...okay I wish Switch was getting it but STILL GREAT NEWS!! ATLUS: But it's only going to include the content from the worst version of Persona 3. No FeMC or any of her social links/unique characters from P3P, no 'The Answer' from FES -- just vanilla Persona 3, now prettier. Now you can debate which of these THREE versions is the right one to play instead of just debating TWO! ME: .....what the fuck. WHY would you do that. I mean... god, I guess I'll still pick it up. But in the wake of five years of exploiting the fandom's love for FeMC and the fact that The Answer hasn't been available ever outside the PS2, why— ATLUS: And that's not all! ME: Wait no, stop, I'm still re-aligning my expectations, give me a sec- ATLUS: Obviously we were gonna have to replace Vic Mignogna as Junpei for the English voices, but what if we told you that we've replaced the ENTIRE VOICE CAST in English— ME: ok so wut the fuc ATLUS: —despite keeping the entire Japanese cast the same?!?! ME: WHAT?!?!?! WHY?!!!!!!!!!! ATLUS: That's right! The cast of voices you've known in Persona 3 FES, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Arena, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Persona Q, and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight? They're FUCKING FIRED! Now, all the characters you know and love will suddenly sound TOTALLY DIFFERENT! ME: .....are you telling me... that I won't hear Karen Strassman's perfect robotic-yet-increasingly-emotional Aigis... ever again ME:

#oh how fast we went from love and excitement to disappointment and anger #persona 3 #p3r #persona 3 reload #persona fandom #persona #persona 3 portable #femc #kotone shiomi #where have you gone my beloved? #persona 3 fes #I don't even like The Answer but it's canonical content that hasn't been accessible to fans since the PS2 so like COME THE FUCK ON #atlus

[chipjrwibignaturals]

literally so fucked up i can’t realistically just do socio-communication research my entire life. why must i have a “career” to “make money” and “care for myself”. i want to study fujoshis.

#i wanna study HOW language shapes our perceptions and WHAT rules do we put in place #and WHY people tend to what they do!!!!!!!!! i wanna study the concept of fandom and personal experiences and queer theory and EVERYTHING #like. i said fujoshis above bc like. the idea is ‘perverted women’— WHY? what tends to draw them to MLM content? #what tropes do we see echoed in the works and how does that reflect on personal and societal expectations/desires #idk this is just word vomit but like !!!! #my FAVORITE courses in college were learning communication theory and while part of me wishes i went for a pure comm theory degree #beyond academia there just…. isn’t really a maintainable Future in that (and academia is very competitive and expensive) #in an ideal world i would do some kind of sociology communication psychology mix Thing bc i LOVE LEARNING ABT IT AND EXPOLRING IT!!!!!! #I WANNA KNOW EVERY IN AND OUT ABT HOW PPL WORK!!!! I WANNA KNOW THE OUTLINES AND THEORUMS AND SHIT MADE BEFORE ME AND I WANNA ADAPT THEM #but instead it’s like. booo we hate your degree 🍅🍅🍅🍅 go work AT&T sales floor 🍅🍅🍅
