#because that’s the tag that’s trending

[strangeparadoxlikely]

i'm actually convinced that phan not trending is a conspiracy against rpf or smthn because literally every other dnp tag is trending rn and almost every post is tagging phan

#insane phannie hours #phan #dan and phil #dnp #phil lester #daniel howell #dan howell #amazingphil #danisnotonfire #wad

[pseudophan]

i can't be sure but i think the reason phan doesn't trend when the other tags are is they aren't really all individually trending, but because they get grouped together they all trend as a collective so it's less that the danisnotonfire tag specifically is getting a lot of traction and more that the daniel howell, amazingphil, danisnotonfire, dan and phil tags all are and thus they trend together, whereas the phan tag isn't grouped with them so while more posts are tagged phan than any of the others it's standing on its own in terms of trending. also people look up phan a lot less, since we know browsing the tag counts for engagement that's definitely also a reason

i can't really fault them for not grouping phan with the other tags though, like i'm assuming it's a general rule not to group rpf ships with the standard tags of the fandom they're from lmao that's fair, even if for dan and phil specifically it wouldn't really matter

#fucking hell the wording of this post is ass but do u get what i mean #brain's fried i can't form sentences #also you guys have got to stop specifying that you're tagging for the fandometrics #they're just not going to count it i fear #you are very specifically not allowed to rig this thing and while we aren't collectively trying to do that a few people are just spamming #and that's not going to help #i mean you can post a lot thats fine but just make it relevant

Rarepair Nominations are Now Open!

Alright everyone, it is time! I realize I'm posting this at what is likely an inopportune time, as it's the middle of the week and my posts aren't even showing up in tags yet, but that's okay! I just wanna go ahead and make this form available. I will leave this open until Sunday (May 5th) so get your choices in there.

Invader Zim Rarepair Nominations

Rules:

Do not nominate ZaDR (Zim/Dib), ZaGR (Zim/Gaz), ZaTR (Zim/Tak), ZaSR (Zim/Skoodge), DaTR (Dib/Tak), TaGR (Tak/Gaz), or RaPR (Red/Purple). These are all big ships in the fandom, whether we take into account past or present shipping trends, and so they are the ones I am disqualifying. Everything else, I will take.

What is considered a "rarepair" is totally at your discretion! It could be two characters who literally only showed up once, or it could be two major characters who nonetheless don't have near as many fanworks as one of the big ships I listed above. I will not be policing what ships are nominated. If it's not one of the above, I'll take it!

Only nominate pairings (two characters), no OT3s or more, please! Perhaps if this goes well we can do a special OT3 bracket later on.

When writing in a pairing, please actually write their names, for example Zim/Keef instead of just ZaKR. This is so I can know for sure exactly which pairing is getting nominated. If you just say ZaZR, I have no way of knowing if you mean Zim/Zim or Zim/Zita, as a random example. So just use the names, please.

You have to nominate at least one pairing, but you can send in up to five different pairs! One pairing per line.

Do not spam the form! I won't be requiring logins because I want people to have their anonymity, so I am requesting that you be reasonable, please. Only fill it out once, and if you happen to have more pairs you want to send, then I can't stop anyone from sending in a new form with those different pairings. But please don't use it as a way to duplicate ones you've already sent in. I intend to seed the bracket so I want the numbers to be accurate to what's actually being nominated.

No ships are off limits! If it's two Invader Zim characters who have appeared at some point in the show, movie, or comics, you can send it in! I understand this may mean some unpleasant or disturbing ships could be nominated and become part of the bracket. It comes with the territory. But Invader Zim is a dark show and the fandom has always embraced more twisted, grotesque themes. I will embrace it as well. So please do not send me requests that (insert badwrong pairing) be disqualified. If the presence of problematic ships in this bracket will bother you, please do not take part in the tournament.

You're more than welcome to start a good clean wholesome rarepair tournament of your own if you like :)

But yes, I think that's it! Go ahead and send in your nominations, and please share this far and wide. We can get wild but ultimately I want us to have fun here.

The way Annabeth was thinking so far ahead of Percy that Percy was confused. The way she refused to elaborate on anything, and then was like; 'I'm surrounded by idiots' whenever someone (Percy) didn't understand her. The way she looked so smug after she pushed Percy into the water and he got claimed. THE WAY SHE WAS SO BLUNT!!!!! ("ARE YOU STALKING ME??" "yeah lol")

Sorry, but that's the most accurate Annabeth in the world holy smokes Leah did such a good job. All my forgotten love for Annabeth's character that I felt while reading the books just crashed into me full force and I'm frothing at the mouth with obsession.

“-You’re gonna expect me to know how to do something I don’t know how to do, and I end up falling flat on my face, I- I can’t really have that right now.” “You still don’t get where you fit into all of this, do you?” SHE’S TALKING ABOUT THE PROPHECY AND HOW SHE KNOWS HE'S A POSIEDON KID, BUT SHE HIDES IT AS HOW HE DOESN’T KNOW HIS PLACE IN THE CAPTURE THE FLAG GAME!!!! BECAUSE SHE WON’T TELL HIM!!!! AND ITS EPIC BECAUSE IN THE CAPTURE THE FLAG GAME HE DOES FALL FLAT ON HIS FACE, BUT IN THE PROPHECY HE DOES GET HIS DAD TO SEE HIM!!!! And then she fixes his armor plate, making sure that its secure. Making sure he won't get hurt. That's not part of her plan, and things always go according to her plan. She's the game master. IM SCREAMING

#just posting some of my thoughts because I haven't seen anyone else going feral over annabeths portrayal yet #she was by far my favourite part holy shit idk what crack leah laced in her characterization but I am so addicted #HER SMUGNESS #HER APOLOGETIC LOOK BEFORE PUSHING PERCY INTO THE WATER #NO SOCIAL SKILLS - ALL BLUNT ANSWERS AND LAME ASS JOKES #shes just skipping under the invisibility cap #meandering after Percy as Clarrise beats him up #whistling out of tune while vaugely wondering how she'll get Percy to let her join his quest after this #im sorry but i am so crazy about her portrayal holy smoking Hephaestus someone help me #pjo+ #percy jackon and the olympians #silly mispelled trending tag #percy jackson #annabeth chase

I had this thought after henry had enough of spencers bullshit, he"ll come to him and carry him bridal style and then throwing him into the lake, gordon is very proud of henry after that

I had a feeling that if I don’t answer this ask in the style of a BL doujinshi something terrible will happen to me. enjoy

#asks #mak1lol #ttte spencer #ttte henry #casa tidmouth #senjart #there should be a tag for spencer’s weird unhealthy gay misadventures because it’s starting to become another spencer trend on this blog #henry kept closing his eyes because he doesn’t want to let spencer have the satisfaction of being seen by him. #somewhere on the other side of the island gordon’s permanent frown slowly morphed into a sickening smile

otasune themed band au for @winterleech !! @mgsevents

doodles & other au thoughts below the cut

i rlly wanted to get raiden in on the main comp for u but i couldn't fit him 😞😞 i hope the original sketches make up for it

snake's on lead guitar

raiden's on vocals because i think it's the funniest way to pay tribute to the mgrr soundtrack

meryl's on drums (& campbell is probably the toxic band manager .tbh)

i can't for the life of me decide what kind of band they'd be. my brain says dad rock but my heart says i can't do that to them

would otacon be a groupie or friends with snake beforehand. that's up to the jury

there's a joke to be made here about grey fox's whole snake's #1 fan thing here but i couldn't think of anything funny enough

#mgs #metal gear solid #solid snake #otacon #hal emmerich #otasune #valentines day #THANK U FOR THE BAND PROMPT BTW i'd never considered it before and it was SO fun !!! i hope this lives up to what u wanted 😣‼️ #special thank u to mav for keeping me company & hyping me up as i drew this (i have the flu rn it was a struggle) #catsart #doodels #for the cut 🙏 #vday tag because i never get the chance to use trending tags ...

does near every single post-canon DE fic out there need to be tagged ‘Sober Harry Du Bois’? i’m getting so tired of it.

do i expect every single piece of fan content to have to fully delve into the often-depressing always-complex topic of addiction? not really. sometimes you just want to write/read a silly fluffy romance one-shot, whatever. i get it. but i think my issue is specifically with the fact that for nearly every sillyfluffy au out there, there almost must be a ‘sober harry du bois’ tag. and it does feel very slapped-on more often than not.

i think to me it is an unconscious statement that nothing *good* can ever happen to harry du bois until he is completely and permanently sober. before solving the next big case, he has to be sober. before quitting the force, he has to be sober. before falling in love with kim, he has to be sober. before accomplishing anything, starting any sort of recovery, making any life improvement, he must first be sober.

sobriety as a goal, as a journey, and honestly as a concept in of itself is not as cut and dry as so many people think it is. and i think it would serve a lot of people well if they did some introspection on the implications of how nearly every single post-canon fic that isn’t dealing directly with harry’s addiction have him as completely sober instead.

if the plot of the fic isn’t going to touch directly on harry’s substance use (and again, i’m not demanding that every single fic should), why does that mean that sober!harry must be the default?

i think i am just tired of reading a casefic, a smutty one-shot, a fantasy au, whatever, where it almost seems that before getting on with the plot, the author feels obligated to first assure us that the harry we’re reading about is a Sober Harry. it’s established with a couple lines in the exposition, probably about his improved appearance, a tag up top, and then never brought up again; a checkmarked box. like the societal image of An Addict has completely prevented people from being able to imagine a person just, continuing to live life, while still struggling with addiction.

life happens, with all of its backslides and achievements, mundanity and changes, to people with drug addictions just as much as people who don’t. is a post-canon harry who isn’t sober not worth writing about?

i think so. i think the game we all played thinks so too. in fact i think that sentiment is woven into the game’s very core. i just wish i saw that reflected in our fan content more.

#i really hope my point is understandable in that it isn’t that i think that stories where harry *does* become sober aren’t also valuable. #or that i want every post-canon harry to *not* be sober. #but rather questioning why there seems to be a subconcious necessity for harry to be sober to have kind things happen to him. #disco elysium #harry du bois #also obligatory because i am putting this in the main tag: #this isn’t a callout or vague on any one person/creator/group of people in particular #it’s more of a prompt to discussion on a very broad trend #one informed by insidious biases that live in all of us because we live in a society etc #that none of us are immune to but all of us have a responsibility to acknowledge #if there is goal to this post it’s to provoke introspection. not individual attacks #anyways i love quietly consuming fan content until something annoys me enough to make my own post about it #i do wish i Participated in fan communities more tbh especially this one i’m just shy lol #most of the time. #me talking

Can we please stop reblogging that ai generated Jon fanart? I can't believe tma is trending and THAT is one of the top posts-

Please, we have so many fanartists who's work is actaully worth promoting

#tma #the magnus archives #Also I realize 90% of people are probaby reblogging while not realizing its ai because op didn't tag it as such #but there's just something kind of sickening about an ai image getting to be the top trending 'fanart' #fuck ai
