#can't we all get along

[e-johnsen]

First piece of 2023. ⁦@pens-in-a-jam-jar did such a sweet Plug & co. piece with Skidamarink lyrics. It made me wonder how Finbar & Plug came to be so cozy. Drastic measures, that’s how.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen chao #wang lingjiao #Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again. #They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two. #They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains. #And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge. #Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her. #She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness. #Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her. #I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless. #If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point. #WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant. #I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards #But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water. #Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb- #-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals. #Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.

#trigun stampede #trigun #vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #i think they both spent majority of their lives in solitude and ofc vash went town to town and made friendships promises and etc along the w #way + he had his home and whatnot in the long years he's been alive but he still just seemed so lonely. #in prior versions of trimax he had friends at home at least and maybe he mightv made some but luida and brad are basically just his #guardians in this adaption. like brad used to be a homie.... vash watched that little dude grow up.... and jessica too.... but he doesn't #have that in this adaption. nor a town like july where he had grown close to the townspeople and shaped that tragedy to be closer to his #heart. and wolfwood spent years fighting under the eom and doing shit under their jurisdiction when we saw him so adamantly try to reject #and fight back against that fate. i dont think he had a second at all to get familiar with townspeople or even care to #so its just these two lonely ass souls and vash immediately seeing the good in ww and points it out #ww who is under orders again to be involved in vash's business but he's also SO touchy about it bc vash is so careless and lack that self #regard and also just is not seeing the world that ww is seeing. but then vash helps him and saves him by sharing a piece of what /he/ sees #and it fucking. rescrambled ww's brain for a sec. HE GAVE HIM HOPE!!! he gave him hope!!!! and in turn ww gave vash hope too and its #all done in like 3-4 eps. there's so much fervent attachment in what they managed to give each other in such a short time #but theyre limited to the contract to the inevitable confrontation with knives - so while theyd want to give into that chance to love this #person who managed to give them smth special they just can't at all #ruporas art

7x04 being from Buck's perspective broke my brain because of the way we saw Eddie through Buck's eyes. Then I realized that Suspicion, where Eddie was shot, was from Eddie's perspective, and all of Surviviors was from Buck's perspective and I want to jump into the ocean.

#the implications...... #we saw eddie's turmoil when carla brought up the follow your heart line #his agony over charlie's abuse #then the shooting and watching his best friend splattered with his blood #that split second where he realized who buck was to him and has been all along #the way he wanted to reach out and touch buck one last time #(do not think about eddie thinking about chris under any circumstances but if you do imagine eddie feeling relieved that buck will be there #and sorrow that he won't be there with chris and won't get to see him grow up and won't get to see buck #and then we have survivors right #we immediately jump to buck's perspective with him getting eddie into the ambulance and eddie asking if buck was hurt *sobs* #and the whole episode is mostly buck's side #but so is the will scene!!!! #because we obviously went nuts over the implications of it #but consider the tone of the scene--there's devotion yes #but most of the tone is that of disbelief #because buck can't believe eddie did this and eddie didn't tell him and eddie is telling him now #and eddie wants buck to carry on for christopher if eddie is gone #and buck absolutely would #but in his mind he can't fathom a world where he has to exist without eddie #and eddie is the one asking him to #hahahahah fuck you don't find it son you make it all over again #buck made this and buck chose this and buck has to live with it #i can't wait for these men to realize/bring to light all the love between them #911 abc #this unraveling on a saturday afternoon is brought to you by insanity

eiffel is not really built for any social media (dangerous combination of being a little too sincere, making inappropriate jokes, and generally sticking his foot in his mouth, not to mention he'd be too inconsistent with it and disdainful about the concept to ever actually build a following anywhere), but you absolutely could not put him on tumblr. the people here would eat him alive for his mainstream offline millennial sensibilities. eiffel isn't a text-based communicator anyway - i guarantee he responds to texts with voice messages - but he simply does not have the blogger's temperament. he wouldn't be on tumblr in the first place, but if he was on tumblr, the only thing he'd ever get noticed for would be leaving a lame comment directly onto someone's post that the OP then replies to with the observation his blog is half the kind of thing you'd see on ifunny and half pictures of topless women. do not fool yourself about this.

#i say this with so much love in my heart. he is a cis man born in 1982. i see people say he'd be great on tumblr all the time. he wouldn't. #places you can find doug eiffel online: bandcamp. old forums. some hobby subreddits. youtube comments where he says things like #'Can't we all just get along? :)' followed by a thread of 30 responses calling him a stupid idiot moron #etc. #you must not forget the type of guy he is.

"It's normal for siblings to fight" Okay well it's not normal to be extremely classist and look down on your sister for being non-conforming. Or to go to the woman who ordered the death of your pet to tell her about your father's plans, when he specifically warned you against doing so, because you want to marry the boy you saw attack your sister and her friend (contributing partially to said father's death and your sister being unable to escape on the ship he chartered). Or to think of your sibling as unsatisfactory in comparison to another when you believe her to be dead. I notice that none of the "Sansa and Arya are going to reunite and instantly have no issues" crowd ever acknowledge any of this, which makes it seem like they don't actually believe what they say about their relationship being normal and easily reconciled. People wanting them to have no issues simply because they're siblings is another example of how fandom likes to flatten complex characters and relationships. They get reduced to being bickering siblings when their conflict runs deeper than that. If the author is telling you that they have "deep issues" to work out [X], I don't understand being so adamant about ignoring said issues. I also get the sense it's about ignoring the capacity for a certain character to be flawed, but that isn't going to change the fact that her "slip of the tongue" is very likely to be revealed and a source of further conflict 🤷🏾‍♀️

#arya stark #sansa stark #house stark #asoiaf #also if it's so normal for siblings to fight then why are you guys losing your minds over us theorizing they won't get along?? #the amount of condescending /that's just how siblings act/ takes I see 🙄 #sorry I guess? that we read the book and don't just delete parts of the story because we find it convenient? #it's not even like takes about them being enemies is widespread the most I see is that they aren't instantly bffs when they reunite 😭 #some people theorize they'll never be close but guess what? that's a completely fair and valid assumption based on their relationship! #personally I think they'll have a sweet reunion before the issues they have inevitably surface again because while they've been through #a lot they haven't fundamentally changed as people or the values they hold #and I think that's going to be very interesting to read about! #I can't figure out why people always take the most boring bland route for how things will play out #mostly because people seem to be unable to swallow the concept that Sansa is a flawed character who isn't perfectly sweet all the time #and the fact that their conflict is instigated by Sansa's classism #which is funny cause in the grand scheme of things her being mean to Arya is such a mild thing that opens the door to a ton of growth #never seen anybody but stansas equating her being a bully to her sister to her being evil/a villain #all we do is point out that it exists in the story...people in this fandom have no concept of nuance I stg 😭 #anyways they're both complex characters and their conflict is interesting and I hope we get to see how it plays out #cause it's definitely going to be better then that trash d&d came up with 🙏🏾

Listen, so my mind is kind of hazy when I think back to Bridgerton in its early days, like season one and all, mainly around things like promos and cast interviews whatever. The same can be said for season two, but the only way I remember the posters, again distantly, is because Netflix would switch them up here and there when recommending the show. All that to be said, seeing some Polin stans on Twitter (X) getting upset by the small promo clip of Kate and Anthony, talking about it shouldn't have been added because it's Polin's season is...very laughable to me given the fact that Polin and its actors took up a lot of the promos for season two (+ add on the Featherington plotline as well as it's adjacent to both of them). Like, let's not rewrite history and get mad at the only (so far) main ship on this show with a dark-skinned woc being given its time to shine (which it hardly was in its own season, but for another time). Also, this isn't any hate (or more so a critique) to the actors at all, but more so certain members of the fandom.

Here's the tweet (or more so a response to the tweet in question, summing a lot of my feelings too):

https://x.com/dearfrancescas/status/1770480303783485934?s=20

#bridgerton #kathony #kate sharma #anthony bridgerton #polin #penelope stans and/or polin stans do not interact if you can't be respectful! #penelope bridgerton #colin bridgerton #(this also isn't hate to polin as a ship either but an observation) #also isn't the show an ensemble cast? meaning everyone gets their time to shine along with the main couple? #but now all of sudden it's these two character's season it's a problem? imagine how we felt s2 but we move #like they even gave pen a solo poster for s2 (i looked it up!) with kathony in the background! like wtf 😭

i feel like. i feel like people should think critically and remember that not every single villain can be seen through the lens of today's world and today's values. is wesker a eugenicist and a piece of shit? yes, absolutely. but do i think he's a n*zi? literally not at all. there is nothing in resident evil to imply that he's specifically targeting one ethnicity, sexuality, religion, and wiping them out. his whole thing is that he thinks all humans are inferior to the fictional bioweapon that gives you superhuman strength.

plus, some of y'all seem to forget that you're on tumblr dot com, where you can find people who think literally any character in media, regardless of morals, is hot.

also, people saying you shouldn't headcanon these characters as gay and trans because they're bad is so fucking weird? as if gay and trans headcanons can only be reserved for people you deem morally good? bizarre tbh

#resident evil #resident evil 5 #re5 #albert wesker #wesker #trans wesker #i genuinely am not trying to beef with anyone i'm just saying we all need to collectively think more critically about things #if you don't like the character that's fine #but stop coming after people who do #can't we all just get along

This is probably just a Me thing so by all means you don't gotta relate to this, but there's something about the majority of crossover art that I see -usually of 2012 + Rise- that just bothers me.

Mainly because of how so many people will grossly antagonise one series just to make the other look better (not like that's anything new to this fandom and its lack of understanding that one iteration being different to another is Okay) and also just,, completely ignoring what the turtles are actually like in said iteration(s) and just summing them up to be the false personalities that fans have stereotyped them to be in the process.

I love Rise as if it was my first born, but my fucking god so many of its fans are guilty of doing this and its tiring to come across it all the time.

#in the words of mikey himself: can't we all just get along? #there's only like one or two crossover creators that i trust to handle their characters respectfully and that is it #rest of em just want the excuse to hate for the sake of it and i find it really sad at this point #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2012 #rottmnt #arlo talks

Carlos fans in my inbox: fake fan. we don't want you.

Charles fans in my inbox: just admit you hate charles. don't know why you pretend to like him.

Me, a fan of both Charles & Carlos, trying to have fun while watching a sport that has politics and unfairness and nepotism and money entrenched in its legacy: anyway...isn't it crazy how those two literally fcked on live television yesterday? damn...

#😅 #can't we all just...get along? #some of yall forget you're talking to a human with feelings and not a machine that generates gifs of your favs for you #just bc i never post these hateful anons doesn't mean they don't exist #and i think ignoring that it's happening is also not the way to handle it all the time #at least i share what i think on my blog and not anonymously in the inboxes of ppl i don't like 🤨 #anyway this post is a joke hehe haha but also 🙃

(Sorry, I know I sent a lot of questions already so feel free to ignore this one akdks)

How do you feel about truth serum tropes? I think it has a lot of potential for angst scenarios - not sure which HH character would be the best "victim" though... It's a tie between Angel Dust and Alastor for me!

I spent WAY too long with Jin Guangyao and Mu Qing as my blorbos of choice in their respective fandoms to not have some strong feelings about truth serums as a concept, ehehehe. I actually fucking love truth serum tropes, but I am also phenomenally picky about them.

The key point for me is that I do not enjoy them as a comedic premise! I want truth serum to be tackled with as much seriousness as the character it's being inflicted upon would see it with. Being forced to reveal your secrets - the secrets you're keeping for your emotional well-being, for your safety, for your reputation - is deeply fucked up and traumatizing. It's an extremely vulnerable position to be in depending on the character it's done to!

Bonus points for trope subversion a la a character being dosed with truth serum and the people close to them understanding that this is deeply fucked, and promptly doing everything they can to ensure that it's not taken advantage of.

I don't know if there is any Hazbin Hotel character that would be as satisfying to truth serum as Jin Guangyao, but here are a couple of ideas:

Angel Dust gets popped with it and is pretty good at spinning his words into innocuous glib comments that he thinks are totally fine jokes to make about his situation, except he doesn't realize that everyone is just growing increasingly horrified as he goes on because his normal-meter is so broken

Lucifer gets dosed and it just kinda shoves all of his self-deprecating dark-as-fuck-but-as-a-humorous-cope thoughts from the inside to the outside sans filter and it's just a magnifying glass onto how not okay he is that whips away his thus far semi-successful attempts to keep it together

#ask #personal #liulith #IL your questions! can't always get to all of them but I love reading them #I had a nieyao/3zun JGY-centric fic planned at one point where they've progressed enough that NMJ doesn't actually interrogate him #partially helped along by the fact that JGY has an absolutely massive panic attack when he realizes what's been done to him #and I never wrote it but it was SO satisfying to ponder #also I think Alastor would be more fun if we knew enough of what his actual truths were bc as it is idk what I'd even have him risk spillin

random tokrev rant ahead !!

when i first started this blog it was going to be for random shitposts, groupchats once in a while, and mostly tokrev analysis but i was so scared of discourse that i just chose to do the funnier stuff 😭. when tokrev was at it's peak i'd be reading 20k+ words of analysis and it was so fun!! but i felt like i couldn't word what i wanted to say properly so that discouraged me but i wish i'd ignored that because there would have been at least one person who understood what i was saying yk?

#anyway #i used to have a tagging system but i forgot so that's my bad #and the thing about discourse is that you could give a person all the canonical facts of the story and they'll still find a way to pretend #that they're right and i personally cannot handle that #i take things very seriously and someone thinking they won a argument when they didn't would make me rip my hair out #so maybe my blog not going into that direction was good for my metal health #i feel like fandom interactions always end up as fights for some reason #why can't two opinions co-exist #let's discuss and have fun why we gotta tell each other to kill ourselves😭 #like i saw a very well thought out and written theory about sanzu having autism or something along those lines #and a comment was like “stop trying to give him excuses he's a terrible villain and he's just crazy blah blah blah” #whole time this person's an izana apologist #like😐 #i love both these characters but a lot of characters in tokrev are more complicated than just a “crazy villain” #and it seems like they understand that about izana so???? #ok i'm done now i hope you guys get what i mean #tokyo revengers #tokyo revengers manga #tokrev

Hi honey! How are you? How’s your mom doing? I hope she’s better now🥺💚

I’ve recently decided to learn how to book bind bc it’s a must to have my fav fanfics as actual books. I’m still learning and it’s probably gonna take a while before I get the results I want but I wanted to ask you if it was okay with you to book bind The Red Thread? Obviously it would be just for me, I would not sell it or make any profits. (And if it turns out how I want to, I would love to gift you one👀)

It’s one of my favourite fanfics of all time, like it’s a masterpiece and I would love to have a physical copy of it<3

And I know it’s not finished yet but it’d probably have to be a few volumes anyways bc it’s a lot so😅

She's doing ok! Progress is slow but it's definitely happening! She's graduated from at-home physical therapy to outpatient, which is a HUGE thing. We've gotten the house pretty well set up too now (chair lift for a section of stairs not covered before, new railing on the front steps), and between me, dad, and sis's various sleep schedules, we're all able to make sure she has someone nearby when she needs help getting around or opening things. I'm still in caretaker mode and trying to balance everything, but she's getting there, so I hold onto that! As for me, I'm doing... ok I think, considering how exhausting and brutal the past few months have been. I'm taking @shouldbestudying41 's advice and just trying to be kind to myself, and I'll admit my brain seriously needed the break. I continue to miss Cato something awful, but I've felt a little more settled since his ashes came home, and I think I'm starting to adjust to sleeping without him next to my pillow. I also got my follow-up today with my cardiologist on my heart issues and their answer was basically a shrug and a, 'we have no idea why your heart's doing this, but it's getting better every time we test you, so keep doing what you're doing!' Which could be worse. So... I'm getting there. Slow and steady!

And oh my gosh, you absolutely, ABSOLUTELY can bookbind TRT, thank you! 😭The idea anyone would love it enough to bookbind makes me SO FUCKING HAPPY! Hell, if I could sell copies at cost I would, but sadly that's a huge no no and all I can do legally is tell people, YES you can bookbind TRT for your shelf! I'm 100% supportive basically (also I would D I E if I got one, like no pressure at all cause D A Y U M it's a long thing to bind, and also just knowing it's out there on someone's shelf is more than I ever expected would happen so I'm delighted even if you just bind for you!).

TRT volumes one to ten maybe??? LOL. I know I had it planned as a series originally before I decided to just kinda keep it in one thing since we were all already there LOL.

#the red thread #pasta life update #basically mom is doing really well recoverywise! and i'm getting there #the witchy shop has been amazingly supportive and i have people here who've been helping talk me through it along with fam #and the kitties have all been very good cuddlers to me while feeling down about cato #so that's been nice! #and OF COURSE YOU CAN BOOKBIND I LOVE THE IDEA OF BOOKBINDING #i know i've said this before but i never really thought TRT would take off so the idea of ANYONE wanting to bind it is HUGE to me #i always intended it to be a series too and then i just wound up keeping it all in one spot #because... i can't remember #i think i was just feeling lazy when we hit the 'final' chapter of book one and went 'ya'll mind if i keep it all here' #and got a resounding YES THAT'S FINE WE WANT MOAR #and so off we went LOL
