If you don't like the idea of Gale being a father in YOUR game with your Tav or just with any character in general, then, girly by all means don't headcanon it. But actively trying to gatekeep the character, by shaming those who do, well....why be an asshole?

So listen, Gale girlies who want Gale to be a dad, (if this doesn't apply to you then scroll). Gale absolutely has dad energy. I've seen a lot discussion about the "I'm not exactly father material" line he says during act 3 and I'm not the first to say this, but I'm here to remind you that you can't take everything the companions say at face value, because these are complex characters and it's not always black and white. As others have said before, Gale not only has the orb in his chest at the time, but the tadpole, and your situation with him is uncertain and unstable. Of course he's not going to think of himself as father material in that moment. Why? Because it's something so far out of his reach. Gale has a lot of self-esteem issues, and I can definitely see him wanting to be a dad in the future, but unsure if he would even be a good one, but once he is a father, being the absolute dad of dads. Also saying you're not "parent" material, does not automatically equate to "not wanting to be a parent." These feelings can exist separately.

If I do recall, I did see a scene where Tara mentions something about Gale starting a family? Gale finding normalcy and having the things he could never have with Mystra makes perfect sense for his character, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Gale can definitely be seen as a father and would make a great dad. The people who claim so boldly that he wouldn't want children with Tav, are just projecting and they don't see these characters with nuance, they just hear the character say something in the game, and just decide with a gold medal in mental gymnastics that (you're mistaking his "dad energy" for "mother energy" which is actually just "malewife" energy) and spew their own biases out in "hot take" posts with every intention of ruining things for others. It's mean spirited, and should be ignored.

I see you all with your cute little headcanons, naming your Tav and Gale's children, and some of you with amazing fan art. I've seen you draw your little Tav/Gale families. It's precious and it's sweet. Keeping doing what you're doing, and don't let the gatekeepers bring you down. Seeing Gale as a father is perfectly valid.

K. Bye.

“Hunter’s new design is boring” yeah. That’s. The point.

The generic haircut, the bland sweater. It’s all a baseline for Hunter to set his physical characteristics so that he can figure out who HE is from there.

“But the hair noodle is so distinct to Hunter-” no it isn’t, & it never has been. It’s distinct to CALEB, & that has always been the point. Hunter never wore his hair like that bc HE liked it, he wore it that way bc it reminded Philip of Caleb.

Hunter was never supposed to be Hunter, he was supposed to be a “better version” (BELOS’S OWN WORDS) of Caleb. Hunter’s hair noodle was never a characteristic of his own.

This boy has no part of him that’s his own. He wears Caleb’s face. His body contains Caleb’s bones. His eyes come from being a grimwalker. Entire parts of his personality are built up from trying to please Philip, & the rest of his personality he can’t be sure isn’t left over from Caleb.

Hunter doesn’t know who Hunter is. So he’s trying to figure that out by building from the ground up. There’s only so much he can do about his physical appearance, & fortunately his hair is something under his control. So he gives himself that basic haircut so he can figure it out from there. His hair was never specific to him, so now he can make it that way.

Idk. I don’t see how anyone can be genuinely upset about this w/out severely missing the point.

#in conclusion: I like Hunter’s new hair & I’m happy for him bc clearly he can’t be happy for himself #the owl house #toh #hunter toh #caleb wittebane #philip whittebane #emperor belos #the owl house season three #also not to mention he’s gonna find out that Caleb was a witch hunter & compare that to how much of a menace he used to be to the BI #& while Caleb didn’t end his life that way it certainly makes sense why Hunter wouldn’t want to look at himself & see that #500 #this fandom has no chill bc it’s been less than a full 24 hours & there are 500 notes on a post about a lock of hair #I’m also guilty of having no chill about this show but Jesus Christ y’all #1k

Im really really hoping the theory about Wille having a birthday in s3 are true because i want Simon to give him a gift SO BADLY. I want it to be something sweet and whimsical and soft bc Wille deserves whimsy in his life. Even if it is a gag gift that Wille actually ends up keeping. I really want the stuffed animal frog like i mentioned in my unhinged s3 list bc its the opposite of the snow globe with the hard (now jagged) edges. Like a soft stuffed frog (no crown) it would be so cute :(((((( But really Simon giving Wille any kind of sweet simple gift would be so cute to me.

Editing to add a picture of what i am envisioning bc i’m annoying like that! Pls just imagine it !

#i fear young royals might be too serious to do something like this #but simon’s stuffed animal and sara’s horse stuffed animal are feeding my hopes of wille having a atuffed animal s3 #plus u know when the rich person has everythinn the could ask for but then they get something thats not expensive but very mesmingful? #idk if thats a real trope but i love if #i am also stereotypical autistic person who has 500 stuffed animals and i think everyone should have the same #i thought i posted this days ago but oh well #simon deserve whimsy too but idk i think wille making him the sandwiches and taking care of him is more what i want vs a gift #unless its like a promise ring or him giving simon something sentimental that belongs to him idk i cant explain it #plus i think it would feel vulnerable for simon to give wille something and hope he likes it which would be soooo cuteee i love shy simon #wilmon #simon eriksson #prince wilhelm #young royals #young royals s3 #yr spoiler #<tagging as a spoiler incase people dont want fan theories or something im sorry #yr s3 spoilers

It drives me insane when I see people saying Percy could beat Jason in a true head to head battle because guysssssssssss. You can't use Kronos as an example. Percy didn't even defeat him - Luke did. And Percy needed the Curse of Achilles to stay alive.

Jason defeated a Titan on his own with no powerup! Jason has been training since he was two! Jason was raised by wolves! It's not his fault RR just loves to KO blonde boys for some reason.

#obviously depending on the plane things would shift but jason has been bred into leadership and strategy #percy's main fighting technique is to discover new powers in the middle of a battle lmao #happy talks pjo #jason grace #percy jackson #also anyone who attempts to debate me on this is being ignored and/or blocked because fuuuuuck off #i don't even like jason that much i'd much more prefer to torture him but im thinking logically here okay #percy gets 500 posts about why he's the most powerful let jason have his 1 alright

#before yvverse i was never the kind of person to write 4-6k word chapters #i have been writing this chapter since february 6th #it was agonizingly difficult... line by line crises type of difficult D: #i still have no clue how people like write thousands of words in a day and then hit post 🥲 i have spent so long on this. i think i spent #an hour this morning writing one paragraph #but now that the finish line is in sight i just feel so ready to post it (even though it is not done. and needs at least 500 more words #on top of editing) #anyways. apologies for yapping 🙇‍♀️ #in terms of difficulty... i feel like writing this series has been eye opening to me as to what i find difficult to write? which is #interesting. fool me twice pt5 was also hard for me in the sense that i rewrote it no fewer than 5 times... and this installment was hard #in a different way.

[sonknuxadow]

it's so wild to me that people talk like sonic and knuckles just now started acting gay in frontiers or that the sonknux ship only exists because of frontiers theyve been gay this whole TIME you just refused to admit it until now

#where were you when knuckles was caught staring at the moon thinking about sonic HMMMMM #ok actually. and id like to preface what im about to say with the fact that #while my feelings on it and the way the fandom acts about it are complicated i DO like sonadow #and im not trying to argue over which ship is better here thats not the point im trying to make #but anyways now that im thinking about it i think people only acknowledging how gay sonic and knuckles are in 2022 #has something to do with shadow not being in frontiers #because. its a fact that sonic and shadow are like the default gay pairing for sonic and they tend to overshadow sonic and knuckles #moments between sonic and shadow always get a much bigger reaction than ones between sonic and knuckles #and a lot of the other media with sonknux moments also had shadow in them #so no matter how gay sonic and knuckles are people Always choose to focus on sonic and shadow instead #sonic could do the exact same things with both of them and people would only care when its shadow #i know because its happened before #people also tend to take certain themes and dynamics from sonic and knuckles relationship and apply them to sonic and shadow instead #even if it doesnt make sense and theyre just making stuff up #or they make shadow act like knuckles to make the dynamic appeal to them more instead of just. liking sonknux instead #sometimes people even go as far as taking onscreen moments that are obviously about sonic and knuckles #and try to make them about sonic and shadow instead (example: the i love captains scene in sonic prime) #sonic and knuckles still go ignored even if whatever media that's being talked about has sonic interact with knuckles MORE than shadow #and none of sonics interactions with shadow could reasonably be interpreted in a romantic way #(again like season 1 of sonic prime . there were like 500 sonadow posts when they barely even interacted) #basically where im going with this is that shadow not being in frontiers #possibly forced people to actually think about sonic and knuckles because shadow wasnt there to distract them #AGAIN not trying to argue about which pairing is better this is just a pattern of behavior i have noticed

there comes a beautiful time in life where i have to ask myselg th question, "did i accidentally project too hard onto the character that i only relate to a little bit and in doing so hugely missed this one entire aspect/interpretation of the characters . am i stupid"

#ARE THEY STUPID! #dr who #this is about ten specifically his relationship w martha lmao #m being so serious i genuinely did not. see the 'ten was on purpose leading martha on to make her think her feelings were requited' angle #until going out into the wild and reading the tumblr posts. like i genuinely did not. at ALLLLLL. its like a brick hitting my head #bc the ENTIRE time s3 ten came off to me as 'doing stuff w no romantic intent behind it but would consistently get misinterpreted as such' #cuz IIIIIIIII have done this. IIIIIIII have run into this problem before. and it sucks so incredibly bad. #i actually do want to think my og interpretation still holds water cuz like. well i could gather all the evidence but #first one that comes 2 mind would be him going 'it's like when you fancy someone + they dont know you exist' to martha. in episode TWELVE #two routes; either ten is needlessly cruel and callous even after a season's worth of building up trust and friendship w her #or he is on super 'i dont think she has feelings for me and this is a very unhappy coincidence of a line' cocaine #Or the 'she fancied me' line in s4 to donna. either he is disregarding all the good and positive impact she did him. or the fact that this #went over his head the whole time made him look back on that time w discomfort <- I DID THIS. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN PROJECTING #THIS ONTO HIM. AM I STUPID.?.????? #you know how mikage rgu can either be read as an incel or a gay man lost so completely in the sauce #ten is like in this same ballpark. i think. of 'emotionally manipulative and disrespects women' or 'aroacespec and missed the cues' #funniest possible options to pick from. ten my brother how did you set yourself up like this #absolutely not denying that he was toxic and unhealthy during s3 in like 500 ways btw. but well. ths is the one concwpt that #flew over my head. so completely. and i can kind of see it now but i also still find it hard to incorporate into my belief system #bc its like. brother I'M aroace and missed the cues too lol #tangential note we can trace many problems down to a writer's room filled w white people not giving #martha's character the respect/agency she deserves for the existing narrative she has. bc they pulled this w mickey too both in series 1+2 #if they wanted to portray ten as manipulative then him and martha should've been given more screentime #together where martha (or anyone else) calls him the FUCK out on this. and ten would need to suffer narrative consequences of doing smth #as fucked up as that rather than his happy stable dynamic he has w donna. if they wanted to portray him as oblivious then marthas character #shouldn't have constantly been boiled down to an unrequited crush (particularly her dialogue in the s3 finale - there's a LOT more reasons #why she would choose to leave/why their dynamic was unhealthy besides ten not returning her feelings) #if you read all these tags you may be entitled 2 financial compensation #ten and martha #aspec doc tag

[made-nondescript]

Hot take yet I think should be said: the whole mindset of "CCs shouldn't see fan content period. No one say anything or run" has played a hand in bdubs being surprised at how much we love them. Some people are so frightened of letting CCs know that they consume their content, that they try and silence other fans.

HUGE agree!!

I absolutely understand where people are coming from with the whole "scatter!!" mentality because I for one am a little embarrassed about just how much time I spend thinking about and creating fan content for minecraft youtubers, but I think we have to remember that these people literally live and breath their content. Like, it's really really hard for us to be more invested in their content than they are. Don't believe me? Check out this Doc tweet:

Dude is being called out in his real life for being absent minded because he's thinking about Hermitcraft. Like, me too king!

It's insulting to suggest being enthusiastic or invested in their work is somehow cringe-worthy or shameful because it implies they are cringe-worthy or shameful for making it, and I think shame is where a lot of the "scatter!!" mentality comes from. Because people have been conditioned to be ashamed of being not just fans but especially MCYT fans in particular.

But it's unfair - to ourselves and to the hermits - to let this dictate how we interact with CC's. They, least of all, are about to point and laugh at us for being inspired by or passionate about their work. Creativity begets creativity. It's motivating to know that you are inspiring others with what you do. That is what's fulfilling about art.

This is not to say that all fan content is for the eyes of CC's, nor should it be. Boundaries need to be in place, obviously. But I would say that boundaries which obscure us completely suck!!

#nondescript ask #Anonymous #hermitcraft #i have a lot of thoughts on this. it's something i'm inordinately passionate about. #and i spent a lot of time trying to get this readable for you all. i hope it is! #i just think. that to me the most beautiful thing about fan spaces is how much love there is #for the thing everyone is connected by. so much love and affection and thought #and i think it's a great disservice to hide that love and passion and effort from the world #rarely should you ever be embarrased for loving something #i dont know!! its just so free to be kind guys #its so free to engage with others and tell them how much they inspire you #its also late so im kind of sappy sorry but not really #anyway thank you for the ask this is a really interesting subject i think i could talk forever about how marred #fandom communities are by cringe culture (previous and current) #ALSO THE OG POST HAS LIKE 500 NOTES? so scary....wth..... #anyway #slay the day besties

ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO

!! IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE A NERD LIKE ME !!

NOW WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH XP IN TOTAL YOU CAN HAVE WITHOUT DOING EVENTS OR OTHER TEMPORARY STUFF

Zelda Bowsmith currently has 79335 XP. The following things are still not completed:

The final quest of Farah’s Workshop for 5 XP (=79340)

Soul Riding, for another 700 XP beyond the XP already collected from it (=80040)

today’s short Main Quest for 150 XP (=80190)

The total amount of permanently available XP (XP attainable without participation in events or other temporarily available activities) is thus… (drumroll, please?) …80190.

Go forth! Calculate how much XP you have collected from events! (If you have not done all the quests I cannot help you! The Dino Valley skeletons do not, however, give XP so you can ignore those!)

Also this officially means that you have no excuse to still be level 20! Go do your quests!

#the last bit is /j I have been playing on this event since new year’s eve 2021 #and it has taken an insane amount of grinding #Zelda Axewatcher’s total event XP is 11505 which is a ridiculous amount but kind of not as much as I expected #and also you still need to fully complete soul riding to reach level 21 - the final quest gives 500 xp so doing it partway isn’t enough #That will probably change with the quests released over the coming two Wednesdays though #prior to today the maximum would’ve been 80020 #z talks #sso #ssoblr #star stable #star stable online #bowsmith experiment #I need a dev to like one of my bowsmith experiment posts. Please see how insane I am about this game and also employ me

Really? The one time I have things to say, no one else is posting about it? Okay, fine, I'll do it any way (this came as a realization during a longer post that I'm writing up). This isn't anything super exciting, so don't get your hype up!

Apparently, 'round these parts, masturbation is considered very boring, to such a degree that she doesn't remember the last time she indulged in it. Why take care of a craving yourself when you can indulge in getting rid of it with someone else for practical reasons, with hopefully very thoroughly satisfactory results? But also, make no mistake, she's picky with who, she's absolutely never going to pay or charm anyone at random. Also, don't mistake this with being promiscuous— more on that in my longer post I'm typing up. /sweats.

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 4: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

The winning option of yesterday's poll was that the adventurer should offer the Well Creature some bread and soup ….

"Completely unsure how to even begin to interact with the strange creature from the well, The Adventurer recalls reading in a book once that 'food is a universal language', or uh.. something like that.. thus, some hearty soup and bread would surely bridge any communication barriers... probably. He serves the little cannister of broth cold, straight from his bag just dumped into a wooden bowl, mostly because he's far too nervous to try and start a fire with someone watching.. hopefully they won't mind the food not being warmed..

After gently placing a single bread roll next to the soup, he steps back, gesturing towards the meal with an uncertain smile. The creature pauses, sniffs around, then promptly disappears back into the darkness. Just as The Adventurer begins to sulk over his apparent rejection, something stirs behind him... With a rush of creaking and plopping noises, the creature resurfaces, revealing it's massive serpent-like body as it hoists itself over the crumbled stone of the well's edge with it's many arms. It cracks open it's mighty jaw just far enough for a tiny blue tongue to slither out, then politely slurps at the soup, delicate enough not to spill any.

Stumbling backwards in shock, The Adventurer simply sits there staring the entire time whilst the creature happily (and rather quickly) enjoys their meal... Seemingly appreciative of his kind offerings, another strange slinking arm creeps up from the depths of the well, daintily opening a velvet sack with it's claws and laying out a small assortment of items onto the grass. Still a bit shaken, but also never one to turn down a free gift, The Adventurer senses that the creature intends for him to take any single item of his choosing... but, which one?"

#paventure posting #polls #choose your own adventure #what can I say.. I like the trope of a smaller creature actaully being a much larger scarier creature which you just dont see because the #creature is in a place/position where most of it's body is obscured lol #sometimes a little guy is actually secretly a much bigger guy of mysterious origins that spans the length of an entire #underground cave system obscured by the facade of a simple well #AND MOST important of all.. the cat is scared.. :( bapy... #also I hate writing for these it's so impossible for me to be short and simple with writing. I always want to make it #extremely detailed and 500 paragraphs long. Giving myself a limit of like 3 paragraphs and a time limit of 20 minutes #is actually impossible for my brain gjhbjhbhj #but I have to post it anyway otherwise I'd spend forever on it and never actually get these done but..hhhh #Just know I am going into my evil vampire library to collapse onto the fainting chair in anguish each time after I hit post #Telling a chronically longwinded details obsessive rambler to ''keep it short'' is like telling a cat not to meow. not to run around the #house at 3am. not to be round and perfect. It is simply against nature #ANYWAY. These items might be useful later. As he continues on his journey - he does indeed have an inventory in my mind #like he can lose and aquire things. has a limited amount of money. Can change his outfit or etc. depending on the choices #people make in the polls. These may not have an immediate purpose (though some can) they'll be factored in down the road

They used to play the game a lot. One of them would say a name, and they wouldn’t ask the question aloud if they were anywhere even slightly public—secrecy was too ingrained in the three of them, and Mike had taken to it quickly enough—but they’d all hear it anyway: if they were a shifter, what animal would they be? They’d toss ideas back and forth, sometimes settling it at once, sometimes arguing for days. It was more fun than it had any right to be, and it hadn't taken Dustin all that long to figure out why: they’d never had anyone to share this with before.

Shifters mostly stuck with their own kind. In a town as small as Hawkins, that meant shifters mostly just had human friends, and politely avoided each other in the grocery store. It was part cultural norm and part instinct—something about being near other shifters made their animal side a little stronger, and animals don’t trust strangers. Especially strangers with sharp teeth. 

Mike had practically had to sit on them to get the three of them to be friends. For the longest time, just being around Lucas had made Dustin want to bolt. Hares and badgers weren’t even natural enemies, but it was enough that they weren’t friends, and that some deep part of Dustin, the part that lived right at the base of his skull, knew that Lucas could maul him with one well-placed strike.

Will hadn’t been so instinctively frightening—no one has anything to fear from a mouse. Where Dustin got jittery around the other two, Will went still and quiet. But Dustin had been as wary of that as he had been of Lucas’s on-edge sharpness. Everyone knew Will’s dad was a rat. Will had taken after his mother, but you never know with mixed shifters, and no one wants to tangle with a cornered rat.

Mike and Will had met on the first day of kindergarten and become instantly inseparable. Lucas had moved into the house next to Mike’s during spring break of first grade, and they’d hit it off almost at once. Mike hadn’t been able to understand why they’d both balked so hard when he tried to get them to play together at recess.

Most people would probably have given up after a few weeks. But Mike was one of the most stubborn people alive when he got an idea in his head. It didn’t get any easier when he and Dustin got close at summer camp, but Mike started second grade with an iron-hard determination that they would all be friends. Whether they liked it or not.

It took a little over a month for him to get all of them in his basement at the same time, very cautiously playing board games. It was another month before the three of them spent more than thirty seconds alone together, and even then it wasn’t voluntarily. Mike’s mom interrupted a game to insist he take a phone call from his grandma right now. Mike went with loud and lengthy protests, but he went, and then Dustin, Lucas, and Will were left staring at each other in suddenly stifling silence.

It was Will who broke it. Will had always been much braver than you’d expect a mouse to be. “If Mike was a shifter,” he said quietly, “what do you think he’d be?”

Lucas barely hesitated a moment. “A donkey.”

Will nodded pensively. Dustin snorted. “Because he’s stubborn as a mule?” he asked, at the same time as Will said, straight-faced, “Because he can be a real ass.”

Dustin and Lucas both lost it. Will grinned, and then joined in the laughter. That was how Mike found them, collapsed on the floor and giggling, drunk on the cut tension.

They weren’t magically friends after that. But for Dustin, at least, that was when it had started to feel possible.

Oh my goodness!!! Well, I somehow missed the occasion, but the other night, one of my fics, The Nearness of You, surpassed 1000 kudos!!! Holy shit, this is blowing my mind!!! o_O I legit never thought I'd ever have a fic that popular, wow! I just wanna say thank you so, so much to everyone who read and left reviews and kudos on that and all my fics, it truly means the world to me? And, since I never actually posted that fic to my blog here (I wrote it before I really started using Tumblr a lot), Imma take the time to do that properly in a minute, lol. So look out for it as my next post. XD

Thank you again, everyone. I wish I could do one of those like authors who does a giveaway or something for big milestones but I know myself well enough to realize that ain't gonna work, omg. XD But even still, I'm always happy to talk about prompt ideas or anything with y'all, so if you have any, you can for sure shoot them my way! XD

My very first chapter fic, my first attempt at a romance, my first romcom... and now my first fic to break 1k. Thank you all. Truly, thank you. ❤️💙❤️💙

#writing #fanfic #dbh #this is such a huge thing for me you don't even understand T_T #I feel like I've actually made it as an author with this... #not that seeing the kudos hit 500 or 700 or 900 wasn't also absolutely mind-blowing omg?! 🤯 #but a big kudos number has always been such a benchmark in my own mind #and especially for a an average-sized and waning IP like DBH #ahhhhhh it just makes me feel really happy!! 😭😭😭 #thank you all so much!!!! #and now to go actually post the fic XD
