#fictional characters who would say stuff like

[yawnderu]

your post about people mischaracterizing call of duty chars is kinda giving misogyny. i don't support noncon but seriously you act like men being mischaracterized in comfort fics is some kind of hate crime. they're fictional characters that spread military propaganda and kill people.

the fictional man is not oppressed bro. it rubs me the wrong way how many of u focus on berating female fanfic writers. focus on the fact that nearly every female character since the beginning of time (especially underaged ones) has been sexualized by men to the point of having their personality erased, features changed, actors harassed. especially female characters with strict storylines of trauma and family issues and mental health right in the source material. you have to read wikis and shit to even find out about ghost's trauma (besides the grief) and there are fics posted every day of trauma comfort, accurate portrayals of his ptsd, cute 141 friendships etc. can you name a single time a woman has been written with that much care by a straight cis male fanfic writer? i can't. i promise a "tiktok girl" mischaracterizing ghost isn't the end of the world.

don't even say "they're both bad" as a copout or mention how ghost has ptsd or something and would never mistreat a woman. like bro, i agree, but the people writing noncon of him are 99% of the time REAL women who are also sa victims, likely to a man. which btw, ptsd never stopped men from being the majority of sa perpetrators, but that's beside the point.

yes it's inaccurate when sum1 writes konig like a baby or ghost as a sex god. yes, some tropes r problematic. but let's not act like our "accurate" writing is realistic. in a group of men like the task force (especially knowing how military men are) i highly doubt even half of them would be respectful, open to love, loyal, good politics, etc. yet we all write them like husband material. because it's cope for the real world.

throwing real women's coping mechanisms under the bus in favor of fictional men will always be weird, sorry.

>The effort it takes to do the mental gymnastics of seeing anything in my posts from when I first made this account where female writers are NEVER mentioned is so weird. Some of my most popular works are noncon, and as a victim of rape and CSA/SA who has changed her views on writing that type of content and most of the stuff in those posts, I sort of get what you mean, despite the weird rant in anon.

Please remember that anything you read in here are just words baby, they shouldn't disrupt your soul this much. 😭😭😭

Hey guys, I know I've been serious-posting quite a bit more than usual lately, I just wanted to talk a bit more about how (and why) I write my characters the way I do in terms of realistic portrayal and my take on mental health issues in fiction, mainly Creepypasta and Slenderverse.

It seems like some people take me for an able-bodied, mentally stable human being "looking in" on mental health who assumes that I know everything because I Googled some stuff. I can see where this view can arise, as I have never truly spoken about my disabilities or personal life much at all. It occurred to me that you don't know much about me, or why I am so passionate about things like this.

So, let me be transparent.

Yes, I have studied abnormal psychology as a focus in college, but that is not the source of my interest in exploring mental health in the fashion that I do. I have a literal shopping list of physical and mental health obstacles that I deal with daily, and being able to understand it better and connect with characters who share a more accurate depiction of the struggle feels more personal to me than a more standard "fanon" depiction of Creepypasta characters. It's how I like to write things.

I have Marfanoid Habitus Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, childhood-onset Rheumatoid Arthritis that is in later stages now that I'm an adult, along with heart conditions like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), heart valve abnormalities, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I deal with Borderline Personality Disorder and autism which can cause episodic confusion, emotional distress and panic attacks. I am not asking for sympathy by saying this. I just have these things, and it's a part of my life.

Needless to say, I know what it's like. I really do, which is why I have such passionate interest in rewriting Creepypasta characters to be the way that they are. I just thought you guys would like to know that my differing views on how I would like the characters to be should not, in any way, feel like an affront to your depictions. I may not agree with them, but whatever, y'know? It's the internet. Differing depictions should not equate to waging war about who is right.

I will address this specifically to the people who want to "call me out" on being ableist because I changed some mental health depictions regarding my Toby rewrite to be less noticeable: Mental health issues are not always the forefront of someone's personality nor behavior. I can promise you that people think I'm normal on first look because all of my medical conditions are "invisible." It comes with the package, and I think anyone with an invisible disability can agree with me that the original stories in the fandom are... incredibly strange and even a little offensive. I'm not a fan.

And I will state, I know this character is outdated and I am not bashing the creator, and I am well aware of their need to be detached from this character due to the poor writing, but Ticci Toby does truly belong to the fandom now, and the fandom has held up these pretty wild design choices. I'm looking to change that in my personal depictions and hopefully foster a healthier way of using these characters to cope.

I love you guys; I hope I'm making sense here and am trying to touch base with you all in hopes of clearing up some misunderstandings. I'm not participating in the erasure of disabilities; I'm participating in realistic writing.

the winter king is sooo tumblr sexyman yes but can we talk about the candy queen being the best representation of your average tumblr user with Blorbo Disease — her fucking song???? “AND SO IM GONNA PUT YOU INTO A BLENDER WITH MEE, SET THE OVEN TO THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DEGREEES” nooo one understands love/obsession except for her and all of us

#fictional characters who would say stuff like #i need to put him in the microwave i need to put him in a jar and shake him #i am rotating him in my mind #she obsessed with that old man she’s sooo us coded #winter king #the winter king #candy queen #simon petrikov #fionna and cake #kelp #adventure time

seeing a tiktok about how the person who made the video blocks every marauders cosplayer because they get second hand embarrassment from the cosplays : oh! myabe its just because the marauders tiktok community is really shit?

me opening the comments :

me : oh

#i do appreciate them saying that they blocked the creators bc just saying that a person is openly embarassing for doing a very normal thing #is just crazy #i mean you're allowed to have your own opinions #but #we think cosplay is embarassing and weird now?? #the comment was the real kicker though #“i like when they naturally look like the person” WHAT #hello. are you aware that this is a real person. and not a fictional character. hello? #tiktok is wild man #i would have cared slightly less about the person who made the video if the caption hadn't MENTIONED A SPESIFC COSPLAYER BY NAME #“x cosplayer need to stop making those harrowing facial expressions and move out of his parents basement” WHAT. #GENUINELY WHAT #he's a really nice cosplayer too he only recently started doing marauders but he's been doing cosplay for years #and he's genuinely a nice person every that met him at cons and stuff said he was SO nice #im baffled #at how insane this is #god i hate tiktok #cosplay #cosplayers #tiktok #the marauders #harry potter #hp #sirius black #remus lupin #james potter #peter pettigrew

There's a point at which disliking Rebecca just falls into vastly tired women-hating tropes lacking any nuanced thought and part of this fandom's definitely made it there

#abuse mention #inspired by seeing the tv tropes page. and then people praising it #brief summary of parts of the tv tropes page would be *she was an awful bitch who deserved to die* #like can we have some perspective #some consideration for where info on her comes from. those characters vested interests. the fact that all of this is then filtered through #*i*. you think i is reliable here #ich and maxim are weird and fascinating and i love them as fictional characters #but i hate how horrible and downright stupid the rebecca hate has got #and i dont like her anyway #but phrases like 'utterly selfish narcissistic bitch' who's husband killed her in a 'righteous fury' #because divorce would have 'destroyed manderley' (bullshit) and she 'rather had it coming' because she was 'utterly rotten' #just say you dislike women and go jesus #thats not even all the quotes i hated on the page #its excused with well she was an abuser/maxim's a victim of abuse which is headcanon. #which i still dont rhink justifies the stuff being said but more importantly #its as easy to textually back up maxim being an abuser as it is rebecca #and he's the one with structural power and she's the one who's been murdered #he's also the one with all the power to shape the narrators views. because he's alive and rebecca's been murdered. #which will affect how the narrator reports events and conversations thoughout the story #my headcanon? sure but just as supported by the text as the other interpretation and i dont belitted and victim blame women to do it #and in no way do i think rebecca's perfect. I think the level of awful you think she is is based on personal interpretation #and that maybe in a public fandom space/website and not just your own blog not talking about women like might be nice

i have this real wild and wacky idea: stop hating sakura so much

#he speaks! #why don’t we consider what she would be like when given proper character development #outside of pursuing a boy who clearly doesn’t love her #she was kinda cucked yknow #she deserved better in canon #like #she worked hard under tsunade’s teachings to become stronger #so she could pull her own weight in the team #and she DOES #she took down a fucking akatsuki member #she had help from chiyo baa-sama but she still did it #she didn’t need help from a MAN yknow #she also came up with the cure to save kankurou’s life like hello #also what would they have done in the war without her helping to heal ppl #she also admires and becomes friends with naruto. she doesn’t continue bullying and hating him #that’s just a part 1 thing #and her hitting him and stuff? that’s a fucking anime trope #that shit happens in so many anime and manga series you idiots #it’s fiction #i say as i rant about a fictional character. sigh #thanks for tuning into my ted talk

Does anyone actually UwU-ify Cartman? Someone sent me a TikTok (that was re-uploaded to YouTube) that claiming that people make him too hot and too cool in the fandom. I feel like this is a common complaint with people who don’t like the fandom, “they take a fat, racist child and make him hot and cool.” And I have never seen that, I’m sure it’s out there but not in large enough quantities for people to care. Idk maybe I’m not in the right spaces on the internet.

But if I’m not in the right place on the internet, Tumblr.com and engaging in the fandom, then how the hell did you find that content? Did you just see the “He would not fucking say that.” post and decide from there?

#south park #eric cartman #I’ve seen some ship stuff (mostly Kyman) that makes him a good boyfriend #which is out of character for him #but you could make an argument that he’d be a better boyfriend to x than he was to Heidi #idk I feel like South Park haters probably haven’t gotten far enough down the rabbit hole to experience that #honestly I like my ‘He would not fucking say that’ theory #because yeah that was a good mischaractisation #but also who cares at all? #like it’s not hurting you if kids want to take a fictional character and terribly mischaracterize Cartman #I actually genuinely want to know if people see this more often than I do

man I really would love to see an (explicitly) religious companion on Doctor Who. esp one who's written in such a way as makes their faith relevant to the storylines and challenges and tests it but ultimately remains respectful and keeps the theme of it relevant within the specific science fiction setting that Doctor Who occupies. I personally just think that would be great.

#:) can't wait to see what kind of reaction this one provokes :) #also btw I know that Yaz is Muslim. I was actually kind of excited when the show officially confirmed that bc I was hoping it would #dig into themes of faith surrounding her and how she as a person of faith is dealing with her experiences in the TARDIS #learning all this new knowledge that's supposedly outside the realm of her worldview and having to figure out how to incorporate #these new perspectives into her relationship with her faith #would've been absolutely thrilled to see that happen at all in literally any capacity. and then it absolutely completely Did Not. #her faith was mentioned like... what. once??? in a passing reference about racism/Islamophobia #which of course are relevant themes of course! but they were brought up exactly once. and then permanently left there. #and yes I do have to say that Thirteen's era actually revolved quite heavily around themes of faith and religion. and it treated religion #in general much better than any previous era of Who really has!! I'm appreciative for that. #but I would really enjoy not having to dig so much. I'd love to see the explorations of faith be as tied into a character as #the explorations of identity were tied to Bill's sexuality and the Master/Missy's gender change and moral crisis were in s10 #anyway! :) have fun with this one. I will delete it if people start being weird and dumb in the notes. #gurt says stuff #doctor who #religon #faith #storytelling #science-fiction #(totally ok to reblog and add comments on btw. 'being weird and dumb' does not mean interacting with this in a genuinely #conversational and good-faith sort of way at all)

Mmmmmmm ok so im very sorry folks, I meant to make some TCM content today but I got really busy and ended up not being at home so i didnt get a chance to make anything post worthy. rip... I will post some tho!! I'll make up for this i swear!! I'll finish stuff up so I can post it!!!! forgive me!

but uhhhh even tho today was busy, i did have a little bit of tequila when i was out in this evening after everything,,,, so when i did come home i actually just decided to rewatch Phantom of the Paradise instead of doing anything else like productive? (sorry again)

ive sobered up a little more now and i need to sleep but God damn man. it was so good to see the movie again. my husband was in disbelief the entire time. he both loved and hated it. he says it isnt a movie. I love the movie so much. the scene with The Phantom SPRINTING down the hall always kills me. it's such a raw shaky cam shot of him BOOKING IT i laugh so hard

and oh yeah,,, Winslow Leach. i love that tall nerd with the big blue eyes and thick-ass glasses and turtleneck sweater and fluffy hair!!! hes so fucking awkward and overly passionate and ugh! but also when he is the world's dorkiest goth bird man in the bodysuit with the black makeup im???? in love. im IN. love. i pretty much screamed in joy every time Winslow Leach was on screen bc I love that FUCKING DORK I LOVE HIM!!!! like why am I like this? why lmao

im gonna post all the fanart I've saved of this movie too bc it's all beautiful and amazing and I cant get enough. and yeah also the art and stuff I have too and some more tcm bc im still also obsessed with that too heehee

#William Finley just has this.... face. and body type. and performance style. that i really like ok #im simply drawn to him in this movie #he makes Winslow SO cute and SO nerdy in this wonderfully silly way but also SO dramatic too im in awe #I LOVE CHARACTERS WHO ARE UNIQUE AND CRAZY AND HAVE TOO MUCH PASSION AND CANT CONTAIN THEMSELVES #bc thats me i guess :) #also usually i like characters id gladly fight on the floor - currently chop top and nubbins #or characters that are so cute and i want to love them with all my heart - currently bubba #but Winslow is both and neither? i would be like aw cute but also steal his glasses and bully him and make him frustrated but then apologiz #and then touch his long slender pianist hands and say he's so talented and he might brush it off and accept it and it'd be all good #.... ok weirdly a lot of detail there sorry im. getting too into this hypothetical wtf (it happens) but um #i guess when it comes to the Phantom tho id just want to watch him run around and gasp and screech. idk. hes so weird and i love his drama #i want everyone to know i love my husband so much ik it's weird im gushing over another fictional man and mentioning him at the same time #but like it's not the same. i hope u all understand. my love for my husband is real and tangible. characters are.... different #just let me fantasize about the silly people i see in movies and stuff and compartmentalize it in my heart and brain ok. i cant help it #i always wonder how the fuck people see me when it comes to that but also if it bothers u i hope u get the difference like actually??? idk #not tagging #my life

[clueless1995]

i’m trying to treat chibnall’s era with the same grace i’d give to rtd’s era but some of the Moral Lessons are so beaten over your head it’s insane i feel like i’m watching Play School sometimes

#like. you can just Show Us. the stilted dialogue at the end saying ‘so you have to be nice to people!’ #got it #take with a grain of salt because i’m white but i do appreciate that when they’re in historical contexts they don’t just gloss over the #racism the poc companions would experience #i felt it was really frustrating when martha would be worried about how being Black would affect her in the past and the doctor would be l #like aw don’t be silly :)))) the colour of your skin doesn’t matter :))))) like she’s close-minded to even worry about it #and then the thing is the worst stuff she’d deal with was fetishisation or snide comments which just validated within the show that she was #overreacting #i understand not wanting to get into it but that’s a whole other issue. #but i appreciate that they’re actually acknowledging it this time #god martha deserved so much better she was literally the most capable companion of nu who but she was treated so badly both in the show and #out of it #and everyone blames it on her crush on the doctor like. you know she’s a fictional character they Wrote Her Like That. that’s not an excuse #im so glad freema agyeman is killing it in other roles i loved her in dreamland

[tvrningout-a]

my problem is that i wanna keep adding muses but i have so many already and the muses i wanna add rn are characters that most people :' ) won't be familiar with :' ) which makes figuring out interactions for them a lil harder BUT i love them...... i love them

#i say as i stare lovingly at lee chang and yeongshin from kingdom #they're such lovely characters and i mean!! they're from joseon korea!! like 1601 basically #so i could maybe finagle some verses without it being too odd #maybe some kny verse -- yeongshin would probably be the easiest to figure stuff out for #bc he's supposed to be a wandering mercenary type of person prior to canon events ( i think ) #versus chang who is the (fictional) crown prince of korea and actually... now that i think about it!! #it wouldn't be difficult to figure something out for him either! #ANYWAY lemme not ramble about them and just add them to the 'maybe' list of muses #like maybe i'll put them on the tertiary list? we'll see #let me go work on this cultural reflection so i can finally be over here uvu #get ready to ramble | ooc #tbd #honestly if you take the time to read my silly tags ilu and i smooch your sweet face <3

hmmm. oh my god my mind is a mess i rlly can't write what i want to rn but i will just Dump

#🌙.vents #YEAH HONESTLY OKAY one reason why fiction comforts me so much is. it teach me so much n let me live through so much more #these characters i. relating to them n seeing parts of myself in them is just. yk rlly comforting bcs i'm. very not social irl. #i get anxious. n typically i find that.. most ppl in like my class or my school or wtvr. yk everyone is interesting n has depth but #i find them. a bit too simple for me. ah.. yeah uhm. sorry remove the 'a bit' it's. by far. so. #hermes rlly. to me bcs he's like. different. felt alone for it. but.. he's intelligent he's valued n. theres a lot of ways to look at it bu #yh then he stands up n does smth for himself for once n he makes mistakes n then after that he sort of just gives up on that part of himsel #'internalizes the lies' THAT PART HURT SO MUCH OKAY. but.. yk fitting in n being 'normal' or wtvr gives a lot of ppl more comfort #but for me it hurts yes but i'd much rather face life for what it is. who i am who i really am. fuck if it's lonely for me #smth from the 1975 w matty on religion? sorry as well i'm.. really not religious. i respect it but please. i'm really not religious. #it would.. be easier yeah if we did believe in some divine being right? believing that there is salvation. that. there's.. yeah #i really just can't bring myself to believe in that. on religion i rmb rn even when i was younger like in lower school even i rlly thought #abt logic behind it. i questioned n wondered why people believed in religion. i really as. very curious abt stuff n life n all that #n growing up i've never really let the outside world influence me too much. no i pride myself in really staying true to myself. #so last year hurt sm bcs i really felt like i was restraining myself too much. i can't exactly pinpoint it rn okay i'm emotional rn but #i rlly felt like my freedom to be myself was stuck somewhere. n then stuff n 'talking too much' so tumblr became yh for me bcs #i don't want to isolate myself but i just.. can't do some things bcs of anxiety? or wtvr there's a lot n then there's also. uh #i still do crave vulnerability n belonging but how do i say this #it's really important to me that. i realize i open up more to ppl that also are able to open up as well. ppl who are like me. #like apollo n online friends n i love my irls too n i hate this bcs yh fine maybe i'm a bit of a ppl pleaser but it's more in a way that #i don't want to be misunderstood. i don't want to hurt anyone. so irl i generally tend to.. hide or restrain myself #take note of 'generally'. but i won't touch on that right now. i think i've been misunderstood before so that's why im sensitive to this #bcs. still having that love n care can coexist with still knowing myself n what works better for me bcs it's so crazy actually how w #several ppl i met last year esp the ones i only know online i cld open up to them more easily bcs they Too can do that n it just #feels so lonely irl i'm just dumping rn it's like nearly 1 am n i'll probably delete this tmrrw bcs i think i'm a bit frustrated right now #not that it's anyone's fault. i'm just. confused right now w myself but i don't mean anything bad by all this okay #i want to just. write. a fictional story rn to calm myself. doing things for myself surely isn't selfish. being myself isn't selfish right? #i can be kind to myself right now too. like other times before. so i will be kind. yes i will be. #there's sm in my head i rlly wish i cld write them all but such is the limit of being human. not too bad tho bcs i have stuff to do #i'll get that done rq n then i'll let myself rest though. until i sleep i'll let myself be at peace n rest c:

Other Authors Writing Self-Inserts/OC-Inserts: "And they fell in love with a beloved character and/or its a fix it."

Me: I love you authors great job! I love the concept it's so fun and always a pick-me-up.

*closet rattling*

Me: uh-uh. Don't mind that!

*Closet door starts breaking open.*

Me: *runs over to try to keep it shut* Everything's fine! No worries. Its just some old concepts I have on insets in media. Don't worry. They're just like yours-

*closet door and me flings across the other side of the room*

Out comes my Eldritch Horror Abominations OC-Inserts who make everything worse/fix-it-of sorts:

I was beginning to think you'd forgotten me...

Anyways. I love writing Eldritch Horror Inserts because it just makes sense for me :) Are we not the creators of these worlds?

#star wars #Fandoms #fictional character #self-inserts #Listen I love OC-Inserts or Self-inserts #They are like candy to me or brownies #But in my mind my ones are like #Ah yes coming from another universe wouldn't cause some wacky affects that certainly don't trescend the universe they are in now. #Listen if we came from our world. And we create their world. Doesn't that mean we are Gods. #I'm just saying #We create and rewrite their worlds constantly. We pick and choose who lives and dies. #I'm just saying that entering a world we helped to create would mean we would have to change physically. #Do we transcend time in the worlds we create? I would say yes. #Are we a superior life form that could not simply be a character on a page without some eldritch horror stuff happening? #star wars fanfiction #Just these thoughts run through my head constantly. #Let me know if you'd like to hear more. Cause I've already written a chapter way ahead of time.

One of the guys in the D&D campaign is also a Studio Trigger enthusiast, but I need to know if he's a Studio Trigger enthusiast for the reason that I'M a Studio Trigger enthusiast.

#the reason being 'I think they make really interesting and well-rounded female characters' #which like. is not me trying to say that their average output is like. a feminist masterpiece. but I AM saying that they do seem to care #about actually representing the female characters they write as people with interior worlds and complex emotions worth talking about #there's just...idk. for all the Normal Anime Bullshit that makes it hard to recommend some stuff. there IS something so refreshing about #how they just. write fleshed-out characters who happen to be girls/women. as opposed to going 'ah yes. the inscrutable mysterious creature: #lady characters in fiction. how do you write one we have no clue. girls and their strange crazy ways amirite' #speaking of which I tried to recommend a-diaries and there was like. some interest. but it was...less enthusiastically-received #than I would have liked. #and I think it might have been because I pitched it from the standpoint of 'look at all the cool subtle commentary it has about how #women deal with the expectations placed on them' #okay I'm not here I'm (ostensibly) writing
