saw the term "over-villainification" today in reference to a character who is by all means a villain in the narrative, but who is demonized even further by the fandom for the sole purpose of Blorbo Angst.

in particular it was about Volo from pokemon legends arceus, and how the fandom/fanon version of him tends to be WAY more heinously evil in fanwork exclusively because the fandom loves the train guys so much and wants to angst them harder. i never beat PLA, but i think we need to adopt over-villainification into the fandom lexicon. if there isn't already, like, a fandom term for it. it's like... the opposite of woobification? the counterpart to it?

over in my fandom i really like this shitty evil murder bastard. he's super fucked up. he did at least one murder, maybe two. but he's also a dad. so for pretty much no fucking reason at all, the fandom decided that he abuses his kids. even though looking at canon it kinda makes no fucking sense for that to be the case, it's just a headcanon like anything else.

but see, his kids are the fandom darlings, or at the very least his surrogate son is, i don't think anyone besides the lesbians care abt his daughter. but he's got this fruity little son who is everything coded (gay, trans, autistic, the works) and canonically has PTSD (from a tangentially related thing) so naturally the fandom has latched onto this guy because anyone can project on him. and they have just chosen. to make his weird notdad an abusive monster. to beat up Blorbo.

it's kind of frustrating? it's kind of shit, really. this character i like is a pretty run of the mill villain. he has about 900 works featuring him on AO3, but if i filter out all the known child abuse tags (as well as a custom tag the fandom has for him being abusive specifically) the number drops down to 700. i guess this practice is harmless, really, but there's still people posting hate in his tag nonstop and calling me an abuse apologist for liking him. which is weird, cause again, he... didn't even abuse anyone. he did some murders, but child abuse is just a headcanon.

anyways, petition to make a word for this so its easier to roll our eyes at. "over-villainification" is so many syllables. maybe we can call it volofication, in honour of he blonde bitch from hisui.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

#text! #idk the trend of twt artists pretending to be stealing their own art to get engagement rly broke my heart #like nooo!!! the joy of art is in the making!!!!! its not in the reaction!!

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”

I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man who’s been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and it’s isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u become…

only to get ppl replying to me and saying “well if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldn’t be intimidated by you. you signed up for this”

i’m sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.

I could get over anything as long as I have something new to be obsessed with
