#fandom come on man

[fedoraspooky]

Just saw some posts about how all the recent irritating changes at tumblr were made for the purpose of chasing growth.

And all i can say is, there's something kinda beautifully ironic about the possibility of tumblr's eventual downfall being due to their endless need for Biggering driving the natural wildlife away.

#its like we've gone full circle in a way! #and yes this is about them pushing tumblr live by making the snooze effectively useless on mobile #seriously does anyone even use tumblr live that ain't trashy bots? #man... #tumblr im still trying to root for you here because you're still slightly more tolerable than anywhere else #but you're really making this increasingly difficult for me here #tumblr update #tumblr updates #tumblr live #ONCELER FANDOM RISE FROM UR GRAVE UR TIME HAS COME ONCE AGAIN

Suddenly very upset that Lyse never got to go visit Old Sharlayan with us.

That's as much her childhood home as Ala Mhigo -- much moreso, even. Yda took her to the Sharlayan Colony and then much like Thancred, they were basically "adopted" by Louisoix and taken to the mainland to study. I figure Lyse probably *did* go to school alongside Yda, but being much younger than Yda never got her Archon Marks. Possibly she was working on it when Yda died, but then in her grief and depression couldn't finish it (extremely relatable; I know so many people who never finished university because of circumstances like that).

And I just.

Lyse is done so dirty by the narrative. The Yda reveal is poorly handled and means nothing to us (and apparently didn't mean much even to 1.0 players, which was baffling to me when I found out.) At the same time, when you actually read the short stories and her backstory, it really is a powerful story about grief, about impostor syndrome... but the game just. Fumbles the ball on that.

I just... can you imagine? Now-adult Lyse, having liberated Ala Mhigo, finally returning to Old Sharlayan. Lyse meeting Papalymo's father. Lyse, meeting Moenbryda's parents (Yda and Moen had been close, iirc, and Moen knew about Lyse's deception just like the rest of the Scions).

I know why the larger fanbase isn't super into her, Stormblood is the black sheep of the expansions (I liked it, but it's followed by freakin Shadowbringers, y'know?), but I just wish the game devs would give her another chance. Maybe during or after Dawntrail (maybe she can show up in the New World at some point initially as an ambassador from Ala Mhigo or whatever)

#lyse hext #yda hext #ffxiv #ffxiv stormblood #ffxiv a realm reborn #she's in the same narrative jail as poor Aymeric only worse because the fandom *loves* Aymeric so they beg for him to come back #while Lyse gets kinda ignored because she's not a handsome elf man and seriously the writers flubbed her narrative arc real bad #the bones of a good story are there but the execution... oops

it’s hard being a chill and patient person in a fandom full of people who jump to the worst conclusions and think everything is going to implode on itself at the slightest sign of things going wrong

#.txt #this is about qsmp #during purgatory i was just going with the flow like eh this is weird but it could be fun #then i look at my dash and everything is on fire and children are dying and people are leaving the fandom #and i’m like Huh #and then with the quackity studios stuff similar shit is happening where i’m just like #man chill the fuck out it’s not the end of the world #just wait and see the end result before coming to rash conclusions and assuming shit about what’s happening #behind the scenes when we Don’t Know what’s going on #just Chill just Vibe it’s all good man

Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

#also this is less relevant and i was going to put it in the main post but i cant find the words for it #but i found your last sentence kind of condescending. “the shallura thing worries me” as if i am your little project and things arent going #to plan. as if you are the Knower Of All Things and i am straying from my path lol. twas odd #and this is a controversial thing to say i know it but like #we take fandom way too seriously. if someone decides in fic to make two characters the same age to ship them or whatever. do we really need #to get the torches and pitchforks. like i can understand discomfort when people ship like shiro and pidge or something but. also. i feel #like you can just block and move on?? like i dont ship sheith bc they are brothers. to me. but also i dont think sheithers should be #harassed or any dumb shit like that. i think its so so whatever like theyre Lines man theyre moving lines #at the same time i understand that peoples headcanons can be reflective of their worldviews (like when racism/transphobia/sexism shine #through someone's headcanons/characterization) but how much scrutiny is too much? when do we get to remember that fandom is a place to #work with the FICTIONAL? where you can change details without consequence? i saw a fic where keith was the older sibling and shiro was the #younger once. it was a good fic. how come we can play with ages but only when the Fandom Council approves? #i guess this is a really long and clumsy way to say like. you do not own the fandom nor do you get to dictate my work. and while there #is always room for necessary criticism please also think critically before you post your criticism #anyways #rant #ask

Thank god finally someone else who also doesn't like Halsin. "Forest daddy" just didn't do anything for me. How come you dislike him, if I may ask/if you're comfortable answering

He's incredibly boring to me, they tried to do too much with too little and big and buff really doesn't do it for me. He's the perfect representation of larians fandom pandering and their inability to allocate resources where they're really needed

Also the fact that he often gets added to group fanart while minthara and fucking Wyll get chucked into the void really gets my blood boiling

#asks #mans is wasted resources to me #I honestly think I would've liked him better if he was unromanceable #and they let the fandom come up with all the thirsty content on their own like god intended

"Sansa = Ned 2.0 and Arya = Catelyn 2.0" is one of those takes where you can just tell people are more attached to the aesthetic than anything. "The Stark girls are most like the parent they look least like" sounds good on paper and people run with the idea, regardless of how it actually fits into the story. A majority of the justification relies on misinterpreting all of their characters + a healthy dose of fanon. What gets me is that this is the same fandom that insists that Lyanna, only compared to Arya in the text, is equal parts Arya and Sansa but Ned and Catelyn, two fully fleshed-out and complex characters, have to be more like one girl or the other? There's just nothing in the story to justify being so adamant about these comparisons. Arya and Sansa have parallels with both of their parents but at the end of the day, they are unique characters with their own stories. I'll never understand why people want to flatten these complex characters down to their most basic tropes and fit them into restrictive boxes just for a "poetical~" comparison.

#arya stark #sansa stark #catelyn stark #ned stark #house stark #asoiaf #BORING YAWNING SLOPPY #notice how these takes never come with actual evidence from the books to make direct comparisons from the text? #/ned is a gentle quiet poitican/ and he physically attacks someone + constantly shows his frustration and voicing his opinions #our first introduction to him is him executing a man and we know he's done so several times that year #he says that his toddler son needs to grow up and stop being afraid of a giant wolf cause /winter is coming/ and Northern life is hard 😭 #/Cat is a feral wild woman/ and her chapters are full of her holding her tongue and trying to mediate situations #people literally switch their characterizations cause the second a woman shows emotion she's /feral/ #and a man can be the most wild unhinged character ever and still be /kind/ and /gentle/ #like yeah fanon sansa is fanon ned 2.0 and fanon arya is fanon cat 2.0 but their actual characters are more complex then that #the only valid /2.0/ comparison is between Lyanna and Arya but somehow she gets split between Arya and Sansa 🥴 #my hourly frustration at this fandom not caring about the story and only being here for /the vibes~/ #like Ned hates Tourneys and protests one as a waste of resources while Sansa is planning a Tourney and using resources while winter #is arriving and smallfolk are going hungry...but she's Ned 2.0? Where? How? Huh? #And yeah Ned deals with politics in KL but that's relatively a small aspect of his character #and even him constantly speaking his mind and challenging Robert directly is the exact opposite of Sansa's approach 😭 #/courtesy is a Lady's armor/ vs. /I'm gonna tell Robert he's an idiot right to his face/ oh yeah totes the same #Arya is the character following his advice and guidance for a reason just saying #like if Sansa was doing the same I could see it but she..isn't? Her approach is much closer to Catelyn's than Ned's #I don't understand why people have all of the sudden decided that the Sansa/Cat parallels are shallow when they're #very similar characters and Sansa's current plot actually revolves around that fact #obviously they're not exactly alike but no two characters are or even meant to be...their comparisons are still very valid #tired of being expected to accept an idea just because enough people repeat it

28 or 32 for Javert?? 🥺

That's a very fitting palette for him!

(Both you and @kittycattscathy asked for the same thing, so here you go!)

#les mis #les miserables #javert #my-art #the constellation for those wondering is Libra #for the scales of justice #I've never actually drawn Javert before! #At least I don't think so #I spend all my time over in the queer revolutionaries section of the fandom so hiiii everyone over here in the religious old man section #love what youve done with the place #suicide cw #suicide tw #Just in case #kinda comes with the javert territory but you know #asks

me watching the good omens fandom have fun over their trailer and genuine hype and excitement for their new season that they're Actually Looking Forward To and genuinely saying "I'm so excited! I can't WAIT! it looks so good!" about instead of "aghhhh [insert costume/hair thing or whatever] is so bad" and "shame this is my last season I'm watching :/" and more dread than actual excitement and when there's a bit where a character has a bad/weird haircut everyone laughs and makes lightheaded jokes and art in good fun instead of screaming and crying to the point where almost the entire character's tag is people acting like it's the worst thing to ever grace a screen

#'but hannah you like good omens why are you sad' bc i have no place in the good omens fandom #nowhere near like the one ive had here #and even if im also watching the show its more like. wow theyre a fandom community actually having fun for their show #while the fandom community ive been in here for three years is for the most part *dreading* so much of what's coming up #mine #the witcher #good omens #man. grass is always greener huh

[hungry-skeleton]

This is all I'll be saying on the matter

#I havent interacted with this fandom in *checks watch* fucking years #I lost interest a long time ago #But man... I've wanted a friendly bendy from the beginning #Like?? He's literally the title character you'd thing he'd have a more important role #Anyways yeah #Hi bendy fanbase bye bendy fanbase #Might come back to the fandom who knows #Batim #Batdr #bendy and the dark revival #bendy and the ink machine

everyone: *talking about how Cas' confession demands to be addressed in any Supernatural followup* *still phrasing it like it's an obstacle or accident they didn't think through and not the emotional climax the whole season was building to and the whole text supports, like the trap it laid on the network to demand acknowledgment in this way somehow wasn't always the plan*

Bobo "emotionally invested" *queering-the-text-to-defy-and-expose-censorship-constraints* *wrote-the-confession-to-expose-how-it-was-already-queer-and-pull-fandom's-pants-down-on-heteronormative-bias* Berens:

Sorry I don't like Barley being the taller one in the relationship. He is quite literally, canonically, short and fat. On his wiki page, there are only two mistakes, the very first one being that he was called tall, solidifying that he is without a doubt a FUCKING MANLET

#blimbo rambles #wc #feeling a little harsh tonight but the fandom is boring as shit when it comes to portraying ravenbarley #ravenpaw is the skinny and tiny one and always infantilized while barely is the big strong man who totally has nothing wrong with him #boring lazy sad #also properly portray Barley's weight please #I know this is a detail that many can understandably forget #but please we could heal as a fandom
