#YALL MISUNDERSTOOD JAKE :')

[3000-200-grains-of-salt]

.......sooooooo, i saw @stiffyck (and friends)s mermaid au.......

According to the contract i signed, every art piece has to come with 6 paragraphs of rambling, so here ya go. 

8 year old me (obsessed with mermaids, would play 'mermaids' in our pool with other kids, huge huge fan of every 'protag. of childrens animated show gets special necklace that lets them turn into a mermaid' show) would absolutely love where i am now. Mermaids were a big part of my childhood! I loved 'em! And i guess i never grew out of that, lmao.

Jake and the neverland pirates, barbie, dora the explorer, sofia the first... they all did it. they all had the 'human girl turns into mermaid for an episode and meets a mermaid bff'. I always loved the Dora one, i got it on DvD from my local library... good times :)

Anyways, if this was a special episode of a looking-back-the-graphics-were-terrible-but-the-music-kinda-slaps 2010's 3d animated disney channel show, Scar would 1000% have a misunderstood-villain-esque song where he maneuvers Grian (about to pass out from terror) into a dance and mourns his lack of company, complete with fish themed puns every other line, a big finish, and effects made of bubbles and sea creatures. Like, poor unfortunate souls from the little mermaid meets shiny from moana meets be our guest type beat.

I like to imagine the bubbles are the tail end of a transition to a comedic scene where grian is distracting the guards with terrible lies while scar tries to sneak into the castle where grian plans to hide him. and then the guards would almost turn and see scar and grian would have to yell 'WAIT' and come up with more bs while scar is struggling with various Shenanigans that get in his way.

i have very,, very specific thoughts about this au (if it were a kids tv show, lmao) Can You Tell :D

Idk man, i just love mermaids, this AU, kids TV nostalgia, and satisfying my inner child even though i am Way off from what this AU was originally intended as. Anyways see yall ✌️

Moon Knight and Daemons

So I'm losing sleep over something and I wanna hear honest opinions.

Been back on a moon knight kick as well as a His Dark Materials kick. That being said, I've started to wonder: what daemon(s) would the Moon Knight system have? Now I have no idea how someone with DID would work in the world of HDM, so I'm kinda going on a limb here and assume that a system's daemon would also have alters and alternate forms. I don't actually know if that's how it works, so please please please PLEASE do not take my word for it. I'm literally just doing this for fun.

So...what daemon would each alter have? Well, I'm glad you asked. Let's get into it

1. Steven Grant

Daemon: the Kestrel

This bird is small. Like really small. I believe it's actually the smallest of the raptors, but I could be wrong so don't quote me on that. Either way, the bird is small and folks tend to underestimate it, the same way Steven is rather underestimated by his peers as well as the system at first. The kestrel, despite its size, is still a bird of prey and important to the environment, just as Steven is still important to the moon knight system.

2. Marc Spector

Daemon: the Timber Wolf

Yeah I knew this one right off the bat. Marc's daemon is a wolf and no one can convince me otherwise. Here's why: wolves can function fine on their own, but they work best when in a pack (something we'll also see with Jake's, but we'll cross that bridge in a minute), which I feel is something Marc learns throughout the Moon Knight series. Wolves are also highly misunderstood animals, being depicted throughout history and lore as monsters and villains. Who else have been depicted in a similar way? People with DID unfortunately. These people aren't monsters, they're human beings who deserve to be loved and understood. And again, like the kestrel, wolves are important to the environment (they're actually a keystone species if I recall correctly), and Marc is, arguably, the most important personality in the moon knight system (a keystone, if you will).

3. Jake Lockley

Daemon: the Meerkat

Before you get your torches and pitchforks out, let me explain, as I had a REALLY hard time figuring this one out. Primarily because we haven't seen much of Jake at all in the series, and I personally have not read the comics. Please take it easy on me yall. So I chose the meerkat for one pretty big reason: they are the most murderous mammals on the planet aside from us, and Jake is the most bloody of the Moon Knight system (as far as we know). However this does not mean that he's not important to the system, or can't work well in a group. Like the wolf, a lone meerkat can, and often does, function well on its own but it eventually does need a mob. If you've seen Meerkat Manor, you're probably very familiar with meerkat society and how it functions, and just how brutal it can be. I feel that Jake, if we're ever gonna get a second season of Moon knight, is probably gonna go through a similar arc as Marc, where he learns to get along with the other two in the system rather than pushing them away like he seems to. Honestly I'm all for it, so bring it on Marvel (well, after the strike of course). And seriously, I just love the idea of seeing someone like Jake with something small and kind of adorable. I'm a sucker for that trope, and plus I think he'd find a meerkat to be pretty damn useful.

And those are the Daemons for the moon knight system. This was actually pretty fun to write but I think I'm gonna try and get some sleep now! Leave honest thoughts in the comments or reblog if you feel so inclined! Have fun ^.^

“Remember how yall said gvf speaking out about palestine wouldnt do anything, yet yall see inside jakes guitar case, zoom In and some how see zyn cases and not even know if theyre really his, all yall bird brain non free thinkers talking about “im gonna start to use zyn” INFLUENCE.”

First off, this is is ridiculous. To equate the influence of people dumb enough to pick up a tobacco product because it was seen in the background with the impact of speaking on genocide is insane. Second, you misunderstood. People never said it wouldn’t do shit, people said the people they’d reach by speaking out are not the people that need to be influenced, they already are. Stop hiding behind this bullshit argument and admit y’all want them to speak on Palestine so you can feel better about yourselves for supporting them.

The Kiss Quotient

⭐⭐⭐: ‘oh- oh and they’re fucking now, ok. well, neat. good for them, really’

Oh?? 👌😉😏

#ownvoices neurodivergent rep - main character is on the autism spectrum, as well as a side character who becomes the protagonist of the next book (sort of a spin-off, as far as i can tell from the blurb)

diversity!! vietnamese-swedish love interest, and there are quite a few scenes with his family in it

lots of discussion about consent - it’s up to personal preference whether you think it was absolutely, verbally, 100% crystal clear the whole time, but it was a pretty big deal throughout

the girl is smarter than the guy and richer than the guy, and he’s into it *jake peralta voice* noice, smort

No.. ❌🤢🤮

weird miscommunication stuff where they didn’t talk, even though at other times, they did!! they went from ‘open communication during sex is super important’ to ‘i’ll bottle up all my feelings, and one day, i’ll die’

the male love interest is somewhat...inconsistent. parts of his personality are exaggerated or downplayed as the plot required - instead of how he would react in a given situation because he’s a layered character

the end tied up too neatly a little too fast - they pingponged back from the ‘don’t talk to me you ruined my life’ stage to the ‘im in love with you now and forever’ stage in like, one scene, and didn’t resolve a lot of the underlying issues between them that the author set up

slightly insta-lovey and some jealousy scenes - not many, but enough for me to notice

Summary: Stella Lane, a talented econometrician (big data. much smart), is a firm believer that the only way to get better at something you suck at is to put in the practice, and if you’re really struggling, to consult a professional for pointers. She decides to apply this thinking to the part of her life she feels the least confident with - romantic relationships, and sex. Hiring an escort named Michael is the first step to finally finding someone worth sharing her life with. (Like, idk, the guy she hired as an escort? Seems like the easiest solution overall.)

Concept: 💭💭💭💭

I like romance, but I think it’s one of the most difficult genres for me to rate highly - *Goldilocks voice* everything has to be just right! The characters have to catch my interest immediately, their meet-cute has to be adorable, I’ve gotta love them opening up to each other, I can’t feel like the drama that breaks them apart at the end of act 2 is contrived, and the ending has to wrap up in a nice bow - while still feeling fresh and well-earned! When I find a romance premise I like, it’s more than half the battle won - especially when the sex is promoted as cute and sweet; I like it when characters can laugh during sexy times. Makes it less performative and more heartfelt.

Some spoilers under the cut!

Execution: 💥💥💥

Like I said - romance is a hard target to hit for me. That doesn’t mean it was bad - I loved the beginning of this book, I just felt that the subsequent ‘break-up and make-up’ parts were rushed after the well-simmered set-up. And sex scenes didn’t quite vibe with me, it’s was very abrupt and ‘oh- oh, ok! we’re being horny now, got it’, especially the ‘caught up in the moment’ ones where two characters look!! at each other!! after an emotionally charged moment!!! and then they’re macking on each other like it’s the end of the world. ('ok i mean i guess we’ll wait to pick that plot-relevant thread up again later’, i say, as the characters’ clothes come off and the bedroom comes into view, ‘its cool im patient yall have fun’)

Fave Moment: I liked Stella’s POV a lot, especially when she’s finding out more about Michael - one scene that stood out to me was when she saw him at his mother’s tailor shop. It was clearly super embarrassing for Michael, but Stella was genuinely like !!! new fact!!! boy hot!!! and it was cute. The classic ‘oh. oh.’ part every romance needs.

Personal Enjoyment: ❤❤❤

I had a lot of fun with this - it was a light fluffy read, and super cute, especially at the beginning when they’re going on ‘dates’, but the ending lost me a bit in the sudden gearshift from 0-1000% conflict and misunderstood feelings. The conflict wasn’t all that bad - but the getting back together was surprisingly simple, and kind of a letdown after all the ‘im just not good enough for you, you’ll find someone better’ song-and-dance. I did like the way people accommodated (or didn’t) for Stella. The author made it clear that characters could easily figure out a way not to be an asshole, as long as they were willing to find a solution.

Fave Character: I loved Stella as a protagonist. She got a little inconsistent near the end - the part where she seriously contemplates resigning from the job that’s been a source of stability and genuine interest to her a lot longer than Michael was dicey, but thankfully she talked herself back from that rash decision on her own. Ultimately she was a protagonist you wanted to shower with compliments (not hug, because she doesn’t like that) and root for wholeheartedly. You deserve mindblowing sex and tooth-rotting fluffy dates, Stella. Go get your man.

[thefreshprinceofjunes]

i mostly used dahnis posts as a guide so im gonna stick a bunch here under the cut just so yall can see the majority of my reasoning (all credit goes to them for the explanations)

sora - page of blood

A Page of Blood would start out with some deficit in their ability to form and make connections. They want to and they keep trying but it never seems to work, people might dismiss or think they are trying too hard to be genuine when really they should just be genuine and it will happen naturally. They might start out with not a lot of connections or dependence on anyone and have to learn to be their own foundations. They might have trouble with responsibility or obligations, feeling totally confident they can do the thing and fulfill them but at first either completely missing the point of the task or only half fulfilling and thinking they did a good enough job. People at first feel wary of depending on them and seeing them as a stable foundation for anything because of this and because the Page of Blood may have seemingly misplaced passions or commitments for unusual or seemingly impossible things.

Through hard work and lots of natural trial and error as is usual for Pages they start becoming more and more actually dependable, making strong connections and bonds wherever they go. The strength of their attachments lends them more and more strength as the people they are attached to notice the strength of the bond as well. They become extremely adept at fulfilling promises, responsibilities and become extremely dependable people. If before others saw them as a flimsy house built on sand, now they are the very face of a mountain, the very earth and stone of an entire village of people, friends and connections that they have built upon perhaps. They start out as very unskilled in arts of the body like martial arts perhaps, or not having a lot of coordination, but also through hard work and trial and error these skills slowly grow far beyond other people’s.

They could have an amazing ability to form alliances between even the most unlikely allies, tying a group together like no one ever has. For this they can be the greatest of leaders. If you haven’t guessed already, I view Naruto as this quintessential Page of Blood that shows every step of the journey from start to finish, even his physical transformations into the Fox tie into this, as a Very Bloody display of Flesh made through a strong connection and merger between himself and the Fox overflowing from his very Body. Not unlike other Page’s displays of their ultimate powers like Jake’s Hopey thing or Avatar Aang’s Whirlwind Ball of his Avatar State. So I imagine a different Page of Blood could also do a very Fleshy physical manifestation of their powers as well.

riku - mage of rage

A Mage of Rage is one who might suffer from great anger and fear. If their own, they can be prone to uncontrollable inconsolable rages and temper tantrums or they can be prone to inconsolable terrors and paranoia. They might be literally haunted by false images of demons lurking in shadows, only increasing their fear. If they experience the Rage of others, they might suffer someone else’s rage and fear, by being misunderstood, hated and feared because they are intimidated by the Mage of Rage. They can always tell though who fears and hates them. They know because they experience it.

The fearful glances, hushed whispers, anxious avoidance of themselves. It becomes a necessity for them to always be on their guard, always watching out for those that might do them harm. They know and learn what to reject or doubt, if they experienced it harming them before, like a suspicious gift from another, or a certain poison they’ve experienced before. They might even suffer from false friends or people who act harmless but who actually wish to harm them in some way (or they might believe so anyway), which doesn’t help their hyperactive sense of paranoia. But In return, they can easily tell the trustworthy from the untrustworthy at a glance. If at first they suffered from a false image of counterfeit from another, they can instantly know if someone actually means them harm or not, or if they are sincere or not.

All this experience with Rage gives them an intuitive understanding of it. They can understand and empathize with the fears of others, knowing what made them afraid or angry and why, and how to deal with it. They might also suffer from a unique kind of unmovable stubbornness, or a false image of themselves or the world around them, either viewing themselves or others warped from their normal forms. Most of all though they of all Rage Players are uniquely able to understand where Rage is a positive influence as well as a Negative, no one can tear down their boundaries or push them to do anything they do not want to. They build iron walls of the self and don’t let it be influenced by anyone else. They build a sense of self and self esteem like no other. Ready for the cool awesome example from a media? Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Yup.

kairi - sylph of life

A Sylph of Life is one who definitely encourages the people around to live and grow and enjoy the life they are given and live it to the fullest of their ability! They have an infectious kind of joyous energy about them and often have large domineering personalities. They might have all kinds of ideas and suggestion for how to live life to the fullest and often try to get their friends and family to join in these things and activities with them. They always have a cheerful suggestion to offer, or a comfort food, or a cute plant or any number of cuddly animals they found wandering in the streets. They have this pure optimism and confidence and willingness to help others achieve the happiness that they have.

They also have an enormous power or strength, being unafraid to break down walls (literally and figuratively) pick you up from your depressed state and slap some joy and happiness into you. They’ll physically pick you up and shake the sad out of you, like GET A GRIP YOU. They are also very effective in their optimistic methods and very efficient at creating possibilities or luxuries that the sad person cannot resist. They always have an answer or possible solution to your problem or oh maybe you should try this? have you thought about this? what about this? and may not know when to quit and just mind their own business.

On the other side though they will not hesitate to tell you that they think you are enjoying yourself the wrong way and really you should do it the way the Sylph of Life would do it. They can get pretty picky about the details in this respect. Maybe they will share something that they enjoy very much with you, like a song or a TV show, and if you blink at the wrong part or talk through another or just plain don’t enjoy it the way the Sylph does they can get pretty stubborn about it and ask all kinds of questions and try to get to the very root of WHY you dont like it? its amazing, it has all these good points etc and may try to force you to enjoy it over and over and over until you admit its actually pretty good. I’m not 100% sure, but I THINK Starfire from Teen Titans is an okay example of a Sylph of Life.

terra - prince of doom

A Prince of Doom acts much like a Life player in their tendencies to destroy Doom. They are reckless, full of energy and reject any rules or limitations placed on them by outright breaking them. They are energetic and optimistic people, almost always passing any barriers, overcoming any hurdles by mostly destroying any that get in their way. They are the screaming rebels that stand up and burn books because they don’t want to be limited by what’s inside them. They can make others optimistic, even frantic, by destroying the things that limit or restrict them. They free people from their any emotional, mental or even physical barriers that they perceive, even if a person doesn’t want to be set free and are comfortable within their limits.

A Prince of Doom unapologetically pushes people way past their own limits. They are truly passionate, even almost crazy activists. They hate being told no or that they can’t do something, but are more likely to simply destroy or kill the person who said no then prove them otherwise. Depending on what kind of situation or session they find themselves in, and whether or not what they do is really needed at the moment, they can be heaven sent saviors, freeing people from what binds them, or terrifying dictators, ruling over people and enforcing their will wherever they want, letting nothing and no one limit what they do. They can even destroy things and limits that are truly necessary, responsibilities and obligations that have dire consequences when not fulfilled.

They most likely are the type to crawl and scratch their way to the top, killing or destroying or throwing other people under the bus in their attempts to win. They likely use Bombs and Fire as their main weapons. They have a lot of potential to go down a very destructive or even evil path if they use their powers irresponsibly, but not every Prince of Doom is automatically evil or will Doom their session. In fact, a Prince of Doom may be the only one still willing to go forward in a doomed session, when others have given up and stopped trying, they keep going forward, keep fighting, not giving up, not caring what happens to themselves or others and maybe be the small factor that allows their session to live, at the expense of anything or anyone that tried to stop them.

aqua - knight of hope

A Knight of Hope is someone very skilled at using and exploiting their own optimism and positivity. They are an extremely great motivator and positive force. They are great at exploiting what they or others believe is real and authentic, using their truth and fact to sway people to their cause. They can exploit a person’s harmony, acceptance, optimism and positivity to their benefit. They can use what people trust or what they believe to their benefit and they are great at instilling hope and motivation in either themselves or others in order to get people going. They are also very skilled at welcoming and accepting other people or different ideas, if they can prove their 'realness’ or loyalty I guess.

They are also near unwavering in their beliefs or what they feel is right and true, unless of course they can be shown a realer alternative. They are true “Knights in Shining Armor” and being a motivational speaker might also be one of their great talents. Being a Knight though, they would be afraid that they are never actually trying hard enough, and this might also be where their motivation comes from. They might be stuck between two forces, the Knight who worries if it is ever enough and Hope who believes they are deep down, but it wouldn’t hurt to be even more positive and authentic than they are now, now would it?

After all, we’ve been proven wrong before, so keep trying for the Truth! They can also be equally calm Loving Prophet as much as they can be Zealous Crusader. A Knight of Hope feels failure intensely though, because they feel they have soiled everything they’ve stood for when they are wrong. They fear they’ve led people or themselves astray chasing after lies, and so frantically search more for the truth. They hold strongly onto things they know and believe to be true, but wont hesitate to reject them the moment it becomes clear they have been false.

ven - heir of space

An Heir of Space would have a very strong sense of intuition and precision. They unconsciously seek out and gravitate towards the origin of things that interest them. They want to know how and when and where it all started. They are very likely to be history buffs due to this. They may seek out art or fashion because it interests them, or they may have fixations on strange objects they find and wonder where they came from.

They flit from interest to interest, being very changeable and impatient in nature, and nothing probably holds their interest for too long before they move onto the next thing. They may even wonder about the origin of abstract concepts like legends and myths and ancient stories. They may be very easily manipulated by others egging them on with rewards of their favorite object or obsession. They might even be manipulated by their random and changeable nature making them very willing to try new things.

They tend to like to share their varied and changeable interests with others as well. They are naturally very impatient with those not willing to try new things and may use their stubbornness to let others be manipulated, kind of like going “well if you’re not going to do it or listen to me then HMMPH to you! *crosses arms and looks angry*” cue adorable guilt trip. They might be small physically and easily pushed around, or easily led into anything that seems new or fun. It brings to mind the image of a child with a passionate hobby or a small socially awkward bookish nerd.

roxas - rogue of time

The Rogue of Time would first and foremost have problems coping with the concept of fate or destiny, or that all good things must come to an end. They don’t like the ambiguous nature of inevitability, or they may simply be unable to see what their fate or destiny is supposed to be. They may let themselves give up on their own promising future, thinking they aren’t really worthy of it or that they can’t handle it. They don’t have any concrete answers and they struggle with the patience to learn them.

Like all Rogues, they mostly keep these kinds of feelings inside in favor of more happy things. A Rogue of Time may become preoccupied with making things that they like last as long as they can, like wearing a favorite shirt to rags, or using a favorite pencil until it breaks, or trying to keep a pet alive as long as possible, things like that. They might even give up all their precious Time to other people, trying to make relationships or friendships last as long as possible. A Rogue of Time may be uncomfortable with certain kinds of music noises or even silence, and may try to fill it in with their own.

They may even be uncomfortable with the passage of time, wanting to fill up every second of their day with something and hating waiting around for anything. They might hate waiting so much that they steal clocks to give to other people so they won’t be late when they want them. I’d say a Rogue’s challenge is to learn to be comfortable with their Aspect, and allow the healthy parts of it to enter their lives. A Rogue of Time must learn that good things are good, but all good things must come to an end. The clock will stop, the song will end, but you must go on. Quickman from Megaman is actually a good example of a Rogue of Time.

xion - maid of heart

A Maid of Heart would start out relying on others to tell them what to love or hate, what to feel strongly about, what to be passionate about. They might even start out relying on others for their very sense of self, who they are at their core. At first letting someone else decide who they are. They are at first directed by others, most likely a figure of authority to them, to put stock in and really care about certain things. Maybe it might be something like a parent wanting their child to be enthusiastic about the family business, or wanting them to share their own interests instead of cultivating their own.

Or maybe just trying to raise them up a certain way without regard to the Maid of Heart’s own personality and wants. A Maid’s challenge being learning to rely on themselves for their aspect means for a Maid of Heart that their challenge is to rely on themselves to define themselves. No one can tell you who you are except you. Nor can someone else decide what or who you love or hate. As the Maid of Heart rises up to their challenge they will create for themselves their own sense of self, decide their own passions and then passionately chase after them.

Maids are inherently passionate about their aspects and what it is they create, double that with Heart’s own passionate and emotional nature and the Maid of Heart is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the things they love or hate or the passionate emotions that they can create in others. A Maid of Heart can make you care about something by pure virtue of caring so much about it themselves first. Their passions, their feelings and their impulses created in others can make their own passions seem infectious. As such other people are frequently caught up and swept into the spreading wildfire of their passions.

axel - thief of void

Thieves of Void have a natural knack for knowing what things are actually useless or irrelevant. They have natural confidence obtaining and knowing even the most heavily guarded secrets by being very good at getting others to let down their guard around them, or let them think they are unimportant or insignificant. They are very good at appearing to be ignorant, useless, unaware or indifferent to things in order to seem trustworthy. They might willingly put themselves into the background and become obscure and hidden, all the while stealing that which is hidden from others. They would be very good at taking and stealing things without any trace or lead that leads back to themselves, they would act ignorant of the whole thing and go "What, me? Steal? Never!”

They would be very good at denying or hiding what really happened. They would be excellent liars and almost never would get caught lying. They could even take advantage of other, more ignorant and unaware people, using them as decoys or placing the blame on them when they steal something. They are almost never truly honest with their real intentions and will make up lies about or hide them or pretend they don’t exist. They are also amazing at keeping their own secrets naturally. A Thief of Void might also steal the obfuscation and mystery surrounding other people’s secrets, forcing them into the open.

They might also steal the meaninglessness or insignificance out of something, suddenly making it appear super important and relevant. They could use these objects as clever distractions or replacements for when they steal what they really want. They could steal and surround themselves with indifference or ignorance, making people ignore them and whatever they do. If they are very talented Thieves of Void, almost no one would ever suspect them of anything and they would be viewed as innocent by almost everyone. They could also steal any kind of water and liquid that they wanted from others, alcohol especially.

naminé - witch of mind

A Witch of Mind would rebel against the fact that everything must be perfectly logical and reasonable. They would break the rules of justice, morals and rational decision. They would be able to manipulate the thoughts and minds of themselves and others. They could make someone super intellectual and logical or they would also take away their intellect and logic. They can make someone the most reasonable person ever and in turn make someone else very stubborn and unreasonable. They can manipulate the choices and decisions that people make and how they make them, by manipulating what they hide and how they hide it. A person’s certain role or identity that they have can be easily changed or controlled by the Witch. They could manipulate the thoughts in their head to plant suggestions, which would then manipulate their morals, their sense of justice or directly interfere with their decisions.

They could even just directly manipulate a person’s Role around certain people, making them act differently around differently people. They could be able to break and change the very rules of the law and the justice system if they so pleased. They could make it so someone become super lethargic and apathetic, or they could take away their sense of apathy and get them going again. Witches of Mind can also manipulate and change the rules of trickery, making someone think one thing happened when really another thing was going on. They could alter the state of someone’s very memory, moving things out of order or place, screwing them up. If they could sort of the muddled mess of someone’s head in order to set their thoughts in order again.

They could manipulate the level of impersonal indifference someone show to another, and either make it bigger so that person is as unbiased as possible, or make it smaller so that their thoughts are corrupted with a bias towards something. They are challenged to use their powers in a morally conscious way though, this may prove to be a problem if the Witch is more uncaring or apathetic to how other people react to what they do. But since a Witch of Mind would rebel against the thought of being perfectly apathetic or uncaring towards others, they most likely won’t go manipulating people willy nilly. I think Namine from Kingdom Hearts would be a good candidate for a Witch of Mind.

A PSA

Haha okay so I didn't think I'd have to write this but I guess I do. Pennywise, the Bowers gang (especially Patrick), and Billy from Stranger Things are not "daddy". They are not sweet people and I know they're fictional but they were not made for your little sexual fanfics or thoughts. They are literally evil. Pennywise is a fucking clown that eat and traumatize children, not your "daddy". The Bowers gang are not sweethearts looking for love. Patrick is fucking insane. Homeboy kills animals, killed his little brother which should have been a sign, a giant flashing sign that he's not sane. He only sees himself as real and y'all really want that? Henry Bowers is a racist piece of shit, torments children, and is an all out bully. Now I know he gets abused by his father and that explains his actions but it doesn't fucking justify them. Now on to Billy. He is extremely racist, that mullet was ugly as shit, and do I have to say it again, HE IS RACIST! Now don't give me that shit where you say, "oh but he was just protecting his little sister..." because I think tf not. He didn't like Max at all. Hated her. He didn't like Lucas because Lucas is black. He literally targeted Lucas and yall wanna talk about how he's so misunderstood. Gets on my fucking nerves.

Now I understand if you love the actors because they're sweethearts in real life. Like I love Dacre Montgomery because he's very sweet just like Bill Skarsgard, Owen Teague, Nicolas Hamilton, Logan Thompson, and Jake Simms. That's because they're actors and not their characters.

I have every right to hate their characters because they suck. I have experienced racism so how do you think I feel when people are like, "I love Henry Bowers so much" knowing that he's a fucking racist. And don't come to me with that "but he isn't real". Y'all loving him like he is and racism is real so I think hating him is justified.

Add more if you want to but if you don't like my argument then give me a valid one so we can talk it out like decent human being instead of getting butthurt.

Do you know what boils my absolute blood about tumblr? Blogs like this which encourage hate. The anon feature is too powerful. However im gonna use it to come here to try and put some things into perspective for those who are clearly struggling.

1. It is NEVER ok to tell someone to KILL themself. Never. How tf do u sleep at night?!

2. Your opinion doesnt make you right and inciting a mob mentality doesnt make u right either.

3. It was never about ai. It was about the person who shared it. It was about their writing. It was about the fact you hated her for comments made that u didnt agree with and you saw ur chance to ruin her.

4. The amount of jake ai ive seen shared by blogs who called her "disgusting" is hilarious. But its ok if someone you like does it, isnt it?

5. You all ATE her fics because they were superior. But because she wasn't as easy to digest as a person you decided she had to go. Nobodys perfect. Not even the so-called saviours of Jakes safety. Which btw is laughable. Considering the "bark like you want it" edits were all shared by you guys.

6. Did i mention its not ok to tell people to kill themselves? Yeah. I know for a fact it was one of you blogs that was once her friend. But you wont talk about that. All the times she hyped you. The times she gave you writing advice when asked. She gave ideas freely and supported other writers whole heartedly.

7. Her own DV and S/A trauma was overlooked in the discord. Nobody ever once cared. Only that she said things about what she perceived power imbalances to be. And that she didnt believe what she wrote in one of her fics to be sexual harrasment from her own perspective. You all jumped on that screenshotted it and shared it like a badge of honor. "Oh isnt she terrible" no shes a fucking human with thoughts feelings and experiences.

8. She was and still is my friend and to see her years of loving work gone is to me a great shame. Because despite what you think she wasn't disgusting. Or a monster. If u didnt like what she had to say then all u had to do was message her. The hate campaign said more about u than it did her and i really dont blame her for trying to stand up for herself when the ai drama happened. She'd had enough. And rightly so.

9. I fucking hate lists. Making one shouldnt be necessary but here we are on number fucking 9 of why you are all fucking hypocrites and not the peace loving PC army u think u are. Blogs who never fucking followed her called her names ffs. The comments made about SH and ai werent that deep but yall love to stir the pot.

10. You can disagree w/ me and carry on the tirade of hate. Just know not everyone agrees with what uv done to someone who only ever supported u all. Who is the real monster cos it aint the person who had to get pitchforks and torches and run the most misunderstood yet terrific writer we had out if here. I hope ur high horses are comfortable. I hope u dont fall off those pedestals uv all put yourselves on for being the protectors of jakes online safety. Idk wtf harm u thought could be done with a quite obviously synthetic voice just speaking smutty fiction?? Ive seen worse on tiktok. And if u think sending anons telling her to kill herself, that shes disgusting, sharing screenshots without context in order to fuel YOUR narrative of her is ok i seriously beg you to reconsider your life choices.

Im just a casual fan that likes to scroll here when im in the bathroom-I have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Can you guys stop assuming we all know the backstories and issues between different fans. If you’re going to post anonymously (even though you claim you hate that feature), can you at least use names so we might know what you’re going on about.
