quil fee free to answer this in private i'm just curious but what the FUCK is going on in the kotlc fandom because i'm looking through the tags and either i've blocked exactly the right ppl or it's all a lot of wind for nothing?? i'm confused and nosy

Ah yeah, looking through the tag isn't a great sample of what I was commenting on, because it's more an ongoing thing the past few months.

Essentially, keepblr has gotten a recent influx of people, which as always, means an adjustment period. This one is just taking its sweet time to work out, which is going a little rougher because some keefe/fitz and love triangle drama has started to seep into the fandom along with it. it's exacerbated in part by confession blogs and unraveled's existence

There's just been consistent things popping up like clockwork every time it feels like we get past another. There's ongoing keefe/fitz arguments, sokeefe/sophitz arguments, keefe taking over the narrative, some spamming, disagreement about ship names (which is quite ridiculous in my opinion. so much so im not even gonna bother anymore), a few convos about race here and there, etc.

Just an overall trend towards negativity that's been going on for a while. And at first its like yeah, bumps in the road, it happens. but it's been long enough i'm a little like. are we seriously still on this. we are NOT letting this be our new normal this SUCKS. you know?

#kotlc #kotlc discourse #quil's queries #creetchure #and yes I know i can always block and move on curate my own experience. which I do #i just personally like to try and work things out if possible #i am willing choosing to put my time and energy into this fandom and into trying to smooth things over as much as I can #that doesn't mean i can't also be frustrated with it #(not saying you would say that that's just an argument i've heard from people before (not in this fandom in the world at large)) #anyway. hope that answers your question :) #its not one specific thing its an ongoing multiple things

Teruya in the family guy death pose

i'm sorry to anyone who expected actual art today. have this instead :)

#i'm not even gonna bother with the tags on this one #sdra2 #teruya otori

[kuzann]

Some people are so weird like what do you expect to happen when you roll up on some ship art and tell the artist that you don't like their ship?? And especially talking down to them about it like? Okay dipshit fun police, enjoy the block you can fuck off now.

Incredibly rude, childish behavior.

#Like what even is this #Rolling up to THE Jack/Vlad shipper and saying #“Well Vlad hates Jack so they can't be shipped” #Like sorry you live under a rock and have no concept of the Enemies to Lovers trope kid #But stuff like “one party hates the other” has never stopped shippers before and it's not gonna stop them anytime soon #I'm gonna ship them more out of spite #But also cause I just like the ship lol #To be clear my friend was the one who was being bothered and I'm getting mad on their behalf #The whole thing was just so baffling like #Don't like the ship? Cool. Block the tag and move on with your life #Do not bother shippers if you don't like their ship for the love of god why are you so fucking rude?

Do y'all ever see a mention of Dinbo and immediately feel a rush of anxiety for a few minutes or is it just me

#honestly not even gonna bother tagging this one #I'm just feeling unwell after reading some comments and need to vent about this issue of mine #k bye

[corfisers]

make your bets on whether i'll write up my trans yashiro agenda or a post about doumeki and that nurse first (it's gonna be the latter)

#“why are you overthinking something from chapter 5” mental illness. but also that scene is just so ??? you know #it's one of those cases where idk what the author thinks on the matter but either way you read it it's kind of interesting #to be clear i'm reading it in good faith which leads to “oh yeah you two are processing things in a normal and healthy way. uh-huh.” #(edit: nvm she knows what she's doing so i'm not even gonna bother with including a bad reading interpretation) #it also goes back to how doumeki wasn't really treated as child because of how tall and unexpressive he is #and how he handles/deals with those situations whether it's the nurse or men at prison or yashiro #also the fact it just doesn't fucking cliCK FOR YASHIRO THE SAME WAY AOI'S SITUATION DID BECA- *is dragged off the stage* #saezuru tag

So, I just know all of Tumblr was wondering, "hey, you remember that really weird ZoLaw fan with the annoyingly overly stylized post? I wonder if she's seen this and if she has any theories or thoughts, an observation or two?"

Well, allow me to set your wandering mind at ease, fictional Tumblr fan. The answer is: No. No, I really don't.

I have like three hundred.

[I also spent time just trying to track down as many translations as possible. Is Tera A Criminal's Daughter or The Daughter Of Thieving Bandits! These are CLEARLY separate things and can ENTIRELY change how her utter nonpresence in Zoro's life shaped him! Though I can take comfort in knowing that, regardless of what kind of crimes her father was committing they were more important than anything his daughter ever did in her entire life.]

And, hey, as might as well jump right into that whole mess.

1. Wait, Zoro's mom is dead? Thank goodness, I was worried Oda forgot one!

(AKA: Stop. Murdering. Moms.)

I'll go first, I don't mind saying when I was wrong. True, in the past I may have suggested that the vast majority of female characters in One Piece come off as ever so slightly, "leaning into sexist tropes with unadulterated joy; it's the misogynistic tropes equivalent of a child running naked through a grocery store. It's right there, everyone sees it, yet people shut up and continue shopping in part because, well, these days you just expect most people to cover that junk! What would you even say? And if you DO speak up and call out the inappropriate, be prepared for blank stares and tantrums; but THEY don't mind! THEY don't think it's wrong! You're just being mean!"

More or less a direct quote.

However, I see now that I rushed to judgement and the reality of the situation is far more nuanced. With that in mind, I was just wondering if someone could help answer some of the questions I have.

Like: Why does Oda believe that it's illegal for (maternal) female characters to survive other character's backstories?

More importantly, why hasn't someone just reached out to explain the misconception!? It can't be that difficult. If nothing else, just have a lawyer or judge or other expert in censorship on hand. Or is the one of those cases where back in highschool his friends made something up and then kept pretending it was real to see if he'd believe you and not only did he fall for it, it took over 20 years before he learned that, what, no that's not illegal. That would be crazy if it were an actual law. Cause you know, after the first 10 years I think yeah you have to just lean into it. Pretend it's a creative decision on your part and definitely not because you were terrified of being sentenced to a slow and humiliating public death.

Just to be clear that's definitely what's up, right? I mean, I'm struggling to think of another reason....able excuse why a story that I really enjoy keeps playing the same old sexist tropes cards again and again to the point of absurdity. It would just help if I had a valid excus- explanation. I almost mistyped the word explanation.

....

....

So I imagine it went like.

"That's the third mangaka they've had to Publically Execute this week!"

"They've started taking this law way more serious lately."

"This one really deserved it though! I heard his main character has a mother in her late forties!"

"That does seem old to have your first child."

"No, he's the middle of three and 22 years old. The story even has flashbacks of defining moments in his childhood and never once did she try to sacrifice herself for him, get murdered by his enemies, or die in meaningless unrelated accidents."

"Damn, that's cold to be there for all the protagonist core moments and not die and help him develop and grow a character? They must have a very antagonistic relationship. Is she actually the villain."

"Not that we know, and when they asked about this being a possible plot twist since - obviously if she's evil no laws are being broken."

"Well, of course, that's the whole reason Statue 2-dash-57 exists; if creators can show they have consistently been building up to a surprise twist then the female character in question can continue to live so long as she continues to be unrepentant and unlikable until the resolution of her arch by the protagonist."

"That's the thing! Under oath not only did man present no evidence to support her identity as a secret villain, he went on the record stating he wanted to depict their relationship as one of a normal modern 20 year old and his mother."

"That can't be true! What publishing company would even print that!?"

"It gets worse. I told you he was a middle child? Well, according to those who've read the actual manga, his younger sister was really sick as a child."

"Oh, well, at least-"

"It was just a fish allergy. She's perfectly fine."

"Sometimes I feel this law is unnecessarily harsh but.... Then you hear stories like that, and you realize that some people really are monsters."

#So this was going to be one post three parts (because obviously) then I remembered even people who have purposefully followed me hate that #I took into consideration that not everyone wants a unmountable wall of Zoro meta analysis on their dash so now its gonna be 3 post style #keeping in mind I've already written it all up and will just be posting them one after the other so effectively the same result #only with the illusion of my empathetic nature #I do have a lot of thoughts on what amounts to a very small amount of scribbled lines and a couple doodles #he literally didn't even bother giving Kuina's mom or grandmothers a name like they didn't even have a identity #In fairness there wasn't a need for them to have any kind of identities or individuality or identifiable features #everyone knows only one trait really matters when it comes to adult females: they go down #into the ground....as a corpse. After ensuring that their death would be the best way to help their children grow. As characters. #I'm joking cuz its funny. It's obvious why Zoro's mom got a name & description: she gave birth to a protagonist and not a human sacrifice #But have considered why those specific qualities are what he chose to define her by - she's fictional he could have made up anything! #I'll have to talk about it in the other posts I'm wasting precious tag room #one piece #roronoa zoro #one piece meta #one piece sexism #this post is not for everyone; actually its pretty much just for me #conversations with fictional people #more opinions than anyone asked for about subjects they don't even care about #Oh! I found the blogs new subtitle! #author gets sassy then preachy then sassy again and then swerves sharply to the weird #oh these tags are way too much #Zoro's backstory #Zoro family history #amusing musings #why am i the way that i am #three post style: part one!

I am never not thinking about hardison and eliot looking at each other while parker changes in the elevator and turning away once it's immediately clear the other dude's spooked too

#am I reading a lot into a tiny moment: yes #do I wholeheartedly believe it: 100% #just that barest hint of dudes prepared to keep other dudes in check #(pausing to picture for my health eliot smacking a military buddy on the back of the head #for saying something shitty #shelley is allowed at team poker games because he did that to eliot once) #leverage #for me this is one of those shows where you're trying to pin down what's weird about it #and you realise ages in you're not low key worried on behalf of the vulnerable characters #'cos we're shown from so early on that these characters are Safe #—and THEN eliot and parker standing close to each other while changing is an entirely DIFFERENT kind of safe #the one that says it isn't a big deal to either of them so they're not gonna be weird about it— #listen I'm just slightly feral about it alright #do you know how much it bothers me that I'm not totally convinced the last episode elevator scene even HAPPENED #nate is not a reliable narrator folks we never SEE the actual thing #but the cosiness and flirtiness and humour and respect of it kills me #that is all <3 #dug out of my drafts because it is Time To Vibe #[tags have been copied over in a reblog]

like fr tho when you talk about ocd symptoms with people who don’t have it you really walking on eggshells🧍‍♀️

Honestly !! Ive had some Gross ones since like 12 years old that I've kept p hidden for years. The amount of times I've heard "you sound insane" just from family members?? Like damn I guess I'll go be distressed without any adult emotional support then

The only person I talk about the bad ones with now is my therapist so I don't ruin my Well-Adjusted persona

#I'm gonna do tw's still #cause I'm gonna talk about some of mine here in the tags #unsanitary tw #injury tw #self-harm tw #ocd tw #my current grosses one is making myself throw up if I feel like my food is contaminated #That or checking before I flush to make sure I didn't like Shit A Full Organ or something #The most distressing one tho is when my kitchen feels contaminated and I end up cleaning things with water so hot #it burns off the top layers of my skin #Cocoa Butter is a miracle for that #second is probably where I continuously cut my nails down until they Feel Right even if that means cutting low enough that they bleed #OCD is wack man. There are people that flick lights and wash their hands too much but like #The shit your brain can come up with just to scare you is A Lot #I'm not even all that clean and organized it's specifically kitchens that bother me

[anthrologies]

instagram algorithm serving me so many reels lately of people reading sjm books and then complaining about the characters like "when you're trying to finish acosf but nesta keeps getting in the way" or "acotar5 is coming next 😁 but it's going to be about elain 😔" (side note NOT EVEN CONFIRMED!) why are you even reading the books if you hate the characters so much. do you guys know you don't have to read them?

#i'm gonna just be a hater in the tags here sorry if you like these theories but they're stupid #oh my god i saw the stupidest one last night that started with 'cc3 spoilers' #first off the book isn't even out yet so why are you framing this as if it's confirmed info or something #anyways #then it said 'bryce and the inner circle losing the war... until the real OGs show up' and then it rattled off tog character names #like... you really think that cc3 is going to feature an entire war being fought in the acotar universe? and the acotar books will just what #skip over that whole war? and war in one universe being told in the books of another universe? #be so serious right now #and my friend told me that she saw a theory that the female on the cover of cc3 is aelin and it means that aelin will be in the book #and i was too stunned to speak when she told me that but i was like WHY #WHY would the main character from a DIFFERENT SERIES be on the cover of CRESCENT CITY #i'm not saying that aelin can't or won't make an appearance in cc3 #i think if she does it will be very brief! #with where i am in hosab now i think the female on the cover is ariadne but idk #oh or it could be hypaxia since she's a necromancer? i'm JUST getting to that part so i don't really know yet #yaz thinks it's danika which i think makes the most sense #i also think bryce's time in prythian will be brief maybe like 200 pages but who am i to say #anyways why are people bothering to read crescent city at all if they obviously only want to be reading acotar #no one is forcing you guys to read this series! #you people would not survive a single jane austen novel

I’m planning on making an incorrect summary of ibvs and this was one of the first ideas i had

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME I WAS BORED IN CLASS AND WASTED LIKE TWENTY PAGES OF MY NOTEBOOK BY SCRIPTING A "IBVS IN A NUTSHELL" THING

tags are just me being nostalgic

#it was so fun but the only joke i remember from it was that i called the nevin goop ''gak'' #and planned for someone to say ''the gak is back'' when it appeared again #but i got bored of the whole thing after season one so i never ended up writing that part of it #i made a couple little sprites as well but the lines were too thick and they looked bad. even for in a nutshell sprites. #man ive gotta go find that again. gonna search for it in my notebook. #okay its been two minutes since the last tag and i found it #okay highlights: #''the demon king of high school has decreed it. he says monday 8am i will be deleted'' (heathers reference) #*closeup of issac* *closeup of the door to the art room* *zoom out to show the closet door in between them* ''well frick'' #oh god i was so hostile towards chris in this. not even pointing out actual flaws; i just went straight for the jugular. oh poor boy. #KIDS BOP XTALE i guess i couldnt be bothered to simplify his backstory #''haha magic? that's dumb. why would magic exist? magic doesn't exist. you're nor magical. i - definitely - am not magical. #why would i ever be magical? if i was magical you would know but i'm not magical so yeah glad that's settled. #*talking to viewers* my name is nevin jovel. i have magic powers and do an amazing job at hiding them.'' #*also talking to viewers* ''my name is drew jovel and nevin's a fucking idiot if he thinks i'm falling for that'' #''and i'm chris!'' #CHRIS JUST SAYING ''ANIME FALL'' anime boy frrr #''i didn't. not at all. i am a normal human being. i cannot do that by myself. what do you think i am? a wizard? #because i am no wizard i have nothing to do with wizardry i-'' #okay nevin definitely had my favorite running gags. running gaks. hah. #charlie: ''my anime senses are tingling'' it would have been such a good place for a 'ghost sense' danny phantom reference :( #nevin: ''day 4 of hoping nothing supernatural happens'' . monika: ''hello!'' . nevin: ''why'' #okay so in between every chapter i planned for there to be a screen with the chapter number on it #''nah i'm good'' [CHAPTER 12] ''that was your cue to leave'' #WAS IT EVER CANON THAT DEZ FOUND THE MONIKA RITUAL ON WIKIHOW OR WAS THAT JUST SOMETHING MY MIND MADE UP #there's a reference to it here and i swear i wholeheartedly believed it was canon for months #''never trust a wikihow ritual'' god that might be my favorite singular sentence ive written here #''what do you mean? nothing happened. it was just a normal day. nothing witchy happened i have nothing to do with witchcraft #it was just a stalker yes a stalker that i chased away with a hose not a witch that i scared away with witchcraft witches dont exist'' #NOOO THATS ALL THE TAGS IT CAN HANDLE i'll have to reblog and add more

YAYYY! I can babble!

Well I’m flippin’ back on flippin’ tumblr!! Hecking flip!! I always did feel more ~free~ here than on twitter, given the lack of character limit for text posts and oh my god... photosets! Saying stuff in tags! All those little BLOGGY things! How I’ve missed them. ✨ Plus my cringe personality and typing quirks were shaped by this godforsaken site... I was always going to end up back here. I needed the babbling space. I can see that most everything has gotten worse overall... since I was here last...  ( .___.) STILL! I have missed stretching my legs on here.

If you’re here, you probably already know me from twitter but otherwise: YO! I’m Priddy! I’m a furry artist of 10+ years and a babyfur/ABDL 4 life! I will be reblogging/posting a lot of art, cute stuff, and rather tame but still decidedly kinky stuff. You should follow! IF: You’re 18+ and diaperfur/babyfur-friendly!

#see I'm not even gonna bother using real tags #'cause inevitably I'll use the wrong one and get yelled at by a teenager #🥴🥴 #if ya see me ya see me!
