"chemach is a duck" awesome ignoring that forever

#cotl #i can't find the source in the discord nor on the wiki bec it seems to be gone #i'm going to assume it was fake until otherwise. if its real? errrm ignoring it still lol don't make the character look like an owl i guess

[crimeronan]

funniest thing is people just unanimously deciding that characters are siblings and despite it not being canon like at all, if anyone ships them together it's literally incest and they're all disgusting freaks who should be burned at the stake. it's SO silly

i remember when i first looked into luz-hunter art i was super startled to see how insistent the siblings thing was in wider fandom, and even MORE startled to see that romantic shipping was often treated as incest. it wasn't until i remembered that most people ship things monogamously that i realized the ENTIRE "luz/hunter is incest" thing Literally Only Happened because of luz/amity shippers feeling threatened & needing to make luz/hunter Problematic. and that to make luz/hunter Problematic, they had to reach for incest because luz & hunter have in common literally all the same things that luz & amity do.

like i legit FORGOT that monogamy was a thing and was sitting here like "but..... but hunter/luz/amity just MAKES SENSE......???? WHY ARE PEOPLE SO ANGRY....."

bitch. it's the compulsory monogamous ship wars.

Duh.

#replies #toh #fun fact: if you ever see a fandom behavior that makes very little sense to you based on the source characterization/story #look at it thru shipping goggles. it's literally fucking always about shipping. #hopefully not using the common ship names will keep this from showing up in ship tags bc i try not to tag like. anything discourse-adjacent #luz/amity shippers: he tried to kill her... no god dammit we can't use that one uh #he's a cutthroat asshole and mean person. NO SHIT. uhm uhm uhm he'll never understand luz's love of books- FUCK ME #like guys it's fine. you can polyship and you can also leave people alone. relax. #the assumption that shipping something non-canon means that you hate the canon and want gay people to die has done like #so much damage. to wider fandom. relax. go do some real life activism. find local mutual aid networks. give a few bucks to someone in need

Posting this on behalf of some friends, who are too damn kind to say what needs to be said.

I find it interesting that you say you used to be friends with us. You’ve done nothing but make others feel terrible by gaslighting, manipulating, insulting and spreading gossip to an entire circle of people, and those you keep in your own circle have admitted—and there’s hard PROOF of this, directly from the mouths (or, well, IPs, I guess?) of those responsible—to having bullied another user off Tumblr in the first place.

If an entire group of individuals have blocked you, it’s not because they’re 'twisting your words' and 'making you the villain'. It’s because you’ve shown yourself to be the villain. Word to the wise: if you’re going to treat people like shit, make sure they don’t have a way to communicate with each other about the things you're doing. Because, at the end of the day, it doesn’t take long for the pieces to add up.

The math doesn’t lie.

#em rants sometimes #this is directed at a very specific pair of people on this site #a.k.a. the ACTUAL confirmed sources of the 'drama' people have been going on and on about #the last few weeks have been insane #seriously? #getting into EVERYONE'S DMs to bitch about my friends? #and I DO mean everyone #encouraging people to block them??? ME????? #where the hell are you finding the time to stir all this bullshit? #I'm BARELY involved except for being friends with your victims and I've had people invading MY DMs demanding 'a reason' for blocking you #my choice to block you wasn't a personal one - it was because you made me fucking uncomfortable #i can block whoever #and seems like I was right if the harassment is anything to go by #you've been stirring up shit throughout the ENTIRE fandom because you can't cope that people are finally seeing through your crap #and the 'poor me' shtick is REAL unflattering on you #get off Tumblr and touch some grass #i'm sorry guys #i know this isn't what you're all here for #but i'm really furious about this #i DESPISE bullies and liars #and watching these two try to rip my happy place apart in one of their tantrums is so so so upsetting #they've left me no choice seriously #but they won't leave my mutuals the FUCK ALONE #STOP HARASSING PEOPLE #if they'd admit to hate anon-ing another user so badly they LEFT Tumblr #what the hell else are these people capable of???

i'm still thinking about that zack's most hated dish is fish and the creators of carmen sandiego confirmed that shadowsan's favourite dish is fish

#carmen sandiego #zack carmen sandiego #shadowsan #chosen family #i have no idea what zack and ivy's real relationship with their parents but i believe that shadowsan really is a father figure for zack #guys i can't find the source so consider this a very confusing headcanon

As a disabled person who has a hard time drawing half the time I think anyone who defends AI art saying it's accessible to disabled people should fuck off

#text #and then using self checkout as an example of like. #'if you're against ai then you should be against this thing that steals jobs!' #'you don't value caahiers as real people and put art over them!' #like they use that as some weird gotcha #look I don't have an issue with AI art that is sourced with permission #and the person who used the generator is honest about it being that #like if you use Adobe firefly which uses its own stock library then w/e #but the moment you use ai that is trained without consent of artists #and put people out of jobs at the same time #then fuck off #also as a note for self checkout #i personally find it to be an accessible option of checking out #like for example people who can't speak the local language have an option #and also people with social anxiety #but I do not like it when every register is replaced with self checkout #i do think that it should be an option though #anyway that's my rant as an artist lol

I have no interest in high school AUs anymore partially because I'm not in high school I know now it sucked but mostly because SwS Link is a college student. He just graduated. He has debt. Every time he thinks he paid it off there's some other bullshit he's got to do. He misses deadlines by five minutes maximum and is told oops ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ should have turned it in at 4:59 pm on the Wednesday before class started, you're too late. He can't get the accommodations he needs for his asthma. He's tired all the time. His roommate doesn't sleep. There's always a useless reminder from Blackboard or Canvas or Master Sword.

#Ghirahim is five years into a dissertation he has realized he *can't* defend but he's not about to give up now damnit #if he could just find the Gate of Time (it may or may not exist based on one ancient source) #it reminds me of my friend who wrote a thesis on how a (minor) Greek god was real (based on a real person) and how he absolutely hates #Herodotus and thinks he's bs but a crucial part of his honors thesis is that Herodotus is correct

asia kate dillon as achilles in iphigenia crash land falls on the neon shell that was once her heart (a rave fable) via theatre incognita and teatrotaller in 2012

#asia kate dillon #iphigenia crash land falls on the neon shell that was once her heart (a rave fable) #kicking this off with the real banger of an opening image for all us connoisseurs aficionados and scholars out here #unknown & can't speculate w/confidence whether this is some full dress rehearsal or an outright performance #seems to be the same kind of metallic top in pic two as is seen in that video presumably used for projections #and the blond undercut and glittery silver eyeshadow seen here matches with the look in that video as well. e.g. see my recently rb'd gifset #the tank & shorts look is new but Anything beyond that video is new. could be a stripped down second look #and the performance was presumably somewhat thusly stripped down: the venue was a vacant storefront #have searched pretty extensively for alternate versions of these photos (without the borders; for one) or more from whomever provided them #but no avail thus far....found via a digital copy of a twenty year teatrotaller retrospective book #which everyone say thank you soph nothingunrealistic for finding it as a regular pdf that could be zoomed in on #vs my finding it originally w/smaller images & much more difficult to navigate lol. page turning drag & drop mechanic that was such a hurdle #that perusable zoomable pdf linked as Source...index says it's page one hundred thirty nine but via the pdf it's one hundred thirty six #Love to see it wrt even this much imagery <_< and the particulars therein <_<

‘i like sr too but we have a bad rep bc of all this reaching!’ my dude nomura literally made the series because he wanted a story people could talk about and speculate. stop blaming people for having fun doing exactly that.

#'other queer fans find it annoying too!' while i do not doubt these exist... source? #cause i sure as hell haven't seen it #maybe that's because im good at curating my space in which case you could take a few notes #and bullshit that's why sr has a bad rep. like my dude you've got some 'they'll accept us if we're normal!' vibes going on #spoiler alert; they won't #sr has a bad rep bc sr fans are a) passionate and b) have a very real chance of being right and homophobes HATE that #and probably people who just dont like the ship. which fair enough but can't relate #basically we're a big and conveniant target #and much like a cup overflowing sometimes those outside those hate sphere's will catch some of the spillage even tho theyre 'not homophobic' #it's trickle down ecenomics but with hate and also it actually works unlike actual ecenomics #i also find it hilarious that the 'reach' this debate is happening on is a post about how dearly beloved is soriku's heartsong #which is literally just. text within the game. and the least reaching reach to ever reach #this has been flight banging their head against a wall #stop talking to yourself flight

makes a 3-hour long hbomberguy-style video that's just me trying to trace the origins of the statement that copia's favorite drink is evaporated milk.

#copiaposting #i shan't do this. but imagine. #i know the wiki is full of garbage and generally uncited so it's less about finding a source where the evaporated milk thing exists— #and more about finding out who first said it existed. #there are a lot of random unprovoked bits that tf has dropped across interviews. maybe this is one of them. but i can't prove that. #unless of course i was to go through systematically cataloguing every interview he's done in the last five years. #at some point in my life i'm sure i'll be bored enough to do that. but even then i don't expect to find proof of evaporated milk. #like. i saw in real time after brisbane how easy misinformation spreads around here lol. #posts with HUNDREDS of notes and no footage links going around saying copia was talking about feeling sick and frail. #and then you watch the footage (that you have to dig up yourself) and he's complaining about the HEAT WAVE. oh my god. #online community that loves nothing more than dramatically misinterpreting every word out of that guy's mouth.

lol i wish i didn't hate eating so much, its always so difficult to just get myself to eat Anything even if i really, really need it. idk why.

#i know i need to get better about it but it's so hard #it's at the point where my body won't even get lightheaded anymore even if i haven't had anything in well over 24 hours #which isn't Good #because that means i've adapted #so yeah idk pray for me i guess. #this has been going on for a really long time and i know it's not healthy but i dont know what to do about it #i try to get myself to at least eat like. 2 eggs a day #but i get food fatigue real quick and then it makes me Not want to eat the same thing again #so then i just. Dont eat if i can't find any other source of easy protein #fkhsngf #some foods are an exception that i actually enjoy tho but they're not always available #usually because meat is expensive #so rip fdjkgfn #spectre says #delete later

Not to be a Hater™ (okay, maybe a little bit), but I genuinely don’t understand what the point of the “most annoying fandom” poll is.

#if you don't like The Popular Ship and/or The Popular Character and/or subscribe to The Popular Interpretation of the media then EVERY #FANDOM at large is annoying #and not in a 'this bugs me because I can't find content' kind of way I mean 'you get harassed and shamed' kind of way #(and an 'every post you find is disparaging the parts of it you love' kind of way. which is way less serious but still very discouraging) #and also EVERY fandom has misogyny/ableism/racism/fatphobia/queerphobia/name a prejudice present #obviously not in every single interaction or with every single fan but. it is. still there. because those things are everywhere in real life #and fandom is made up of real life people. like genuinely what is the point of quantifying '''most annoying''' when literally all fandoms #are guilty of this #also why is it most 'annoying'??? it's not even like. Most Toxic. or Most Unsatisfied. or something. like are we defining 'annoying' as #'I find the source material '''cringe'''?' #because I think THAT'S bad. #In the Vents

[betty-bourgeoisie]

I tried to find a source talking about the Jersey Devil origin story as metaphor for infanticide and I can't find any which is so strange to me because I feel like that's a very obvious reading of the story

#like #this woman already has a bunch of kids she's trying to take care of #she curses the baby #and then it 'flys off into the woods' #as if 'leaving the baby in the woods' isn't one of the primary way infanticide happens in folklore #and then you oooh you can hear it's crys from the woods #well it turns out babies do cry real good when they're abandoned #like?? #I really feel like this is not a hard way to interpret this story #but I can't find any literary sources on it

I am currently reading a 1990 master's thesis analyzing the birth of the French sports press around 1850 just to be sure my depiction of Booker's life and knowledge is as historically accurate as it possibly can be.

Yep, that's right. That's the level of obsessed I've reached today.

#let's regroup tomorrow and see if I've managed to dig even deeper #no but seriously #can you believe this thesis literally breaks the ground on that topic #it had never been discussed before!! press in general yes extensively but sports press?? nothing #and I couldn't find more recent sources either #but you know what's funny? it's just something I'm gonna mention in a fic where Booker is anything but the focus ahahah #no but for real sports press is almost completely irrelevant to the main focus of the fic #it's just a thought I had and I needed to check and turns out the older the author could go back to was the 1850's #that is to say 38 years after Booker's first/last death and subsequent immortality!! #and truth is I can't fathom what it was like to live back then considering all the entertainment and knowledge that are available #to me just with a keyboard/internet reach #it's wild #anyways I love this and by this I mean spending hours reading weird things and looking for sources and info and getting lost in it #if you've ever wandered down such rabbit holes for the sake of fiction I'd love to hear about it #scribe life #talking scribe #also the thesis was obviously typed and has been digitized and there's just a teeny tiny slant just enough to drive me crazy ahah
