#i don't mind if you delete them from reblogs honestly right now

[impala-dreamer]

Yes, it's that time again. As an oversized turkey thaws in your fridge and Mariah Carey starts doing her vocal warm ups, it's time to think about gifting something special to those you love.

Why not give the fanfic lover in your life a custom written fanfiction designed and starring Them?!

That's right, I'm opening up my commissions for a limited time this holiday season!

Imagine the joy on your bestie's face as they read about riding in the Impala with Dean and singing along to their favorite song! The magical feeling they'll get when Bucky rescues them and his prickly exterior softens at their touch... Or hell- get one for yourself and read the story you've always dreamed about but couldn't find ;)

So many possibilities and stories to tell!

Read on for more info and please, reblog to spread the word. <3

How does it work?

You send me a message and we discuss what type of story you'd like. If I think I can do it properly for you- it's a go!

You provide details about the character (you, someone else, multiples). Stories can be OFC, Actual People, or Reader Insert.

You leave me alone for a few days and when I return, you'll get a PDF file of your fic (usually including custom art) emailed right to you ready for gifting!

What fandoms are you writing for lately?

Any fandom can be negotiated provided I am familiar with it and feel like I would do the details justice. Ex: I've watched football, but I'm not gonna write a great football story bc I just don't get it. ;)

Fandoms I have written for and am comfy with:

Supernatural, Supernatural RPF (Mostly all ships!)

The Boys, The Boys RPF

The Walking Dead, TWD RPF

Marvel (Cap, Bucky, Thor, Wanda, Sam), Marvel RPF (Evans & Stan)

Criminal Minds

The Hunger Games

The Magicians (Ships too!)

The Winchesters, The Winchesters RPF

Daisy Jones & The Six (Billy Dunne)

Doctor Who (NuWho, minus 13)

Random RPF Actors/Singers

What Kind of Story Can You Do?

Anything. No, wait. I'm afraid you don't believe me. I mean... ANY T H I N G. You want hardcore smut that boarders on problematic? I'm in. You want the fluffiest fluff that ever fluffed and would make Hallmark movies cringe? I got you. Angst? Dark stuff? General? Literally Anything you want. I only have one or two things I'm not comfortable with but that can all be discussed in private, and honestly, after almost 8 years doing this, no one's ever come close to asking for them so you're 1000% good to ask for whatever.

What's the bottom line here?

Well, your story, which will be anywhere from 1,000 - 20,000 words depending on how wordy I get, will be a flat rate of $20. This includes my full attention to your story from start to finish, accompanying art, specific detail inclusion, and an emailed PDF file that you can print out or delete, or whatever you want. It's yours.

I do not write for word counts, only the story. If your complete story can be told in 1k words, that's great. If it takes another 40,000 and we end up with a novel, that's great for you and I won't charge you any more for it! I'm more worried about giving you the best story I can than worrying about word counts.

Commissions are open now until Christmas Eve Eve (Dec 23, 2023).

I will only take FIVE commissions at any time, so best to get to me first. First come, first serve, then I go down the line.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'm not scary.

You can also check out my Tumblr Masterlist for examples of my work incase you're unsure. And... just a reminder, Patrons get a discount!

Much love and wishes for an awesome end of the year,

Beka <3

[treatbuckywkisses]

warning: extremely long post.

nobody asked for this lol but i see so much abt supporting creators and people mainly focus on writing and i one million percent agree but i wish you guys would treat all content creators the same lol. some of us can't write so we make gifs/fanart/moodboards etc. i make moodboards and that's all so i can't speak for the gifmakers or anyone else but i am almost 100% positive it's definitely not as easy as it sounds. even making moodboards. yeah how can making a collage of pictures not be easy

let me show you My process a little bit so you can get somewhat of an idea. this is what I usually do there's no wrong or right way and everyone is different but i wanted to share with you what goes on in my head ig

so first i think of an idea right, a trope or something. sometimes i can be inspired by a fic i read. sometimes i just think of something id like to try and make/see. requests are different but that's not why I'm here today.

im using my demon!bucky moodboard as an example bc i had a lot of trouble with him lol. demon bucky is very popular so naturally i wanted to try my hand with him. and it was around the flaunt photoshoot so i had prime materials at my fingertips.

so i usually look into the vibe i want to give this was demon!bucky so we did demon, dark and also a bit of red to accent the photoshoot pics.

then i figure out a layout and how i want them to be.

first made was this one:

it was okay but i didn't like the pics of seb and how they ended up being that way it was too many side profile pics for me.

so i tried this:

i changed one pic and moved 2 and i still didn't really like it how i thought i would

so i tried this one:

honestly this one is my least favorite one. the knife is killing me i hated how it turned out. i just couldn't get them to work how i had imagined in my mind. and then the reds were one one side and the b&w on the same side together ugh it was just no good.

so i went on to this which is the one i finally posted:

i was actually super happy with this one. it was like a great balance imo of everything I was trying and it still gave demon to me (and hello he is scrumptious) i was so sos sooo excited to finally post it after working on it for so long and it didn't even end up doing that good.

also not shown are me playing with the background color. i tried different reds and greys but hated them so I deleted them but there were at least 3 of each lmao.

these are the notes on it today lol:

one of those reblogs and one comment is from myself so those doesn't even count asldhdkdh

now. not every moodboard is like this. sometimes i get lucky and love the one i make on the first try. but that doesn't happen as often. maybe im just doing too much idk that's what it feels like. especially for the "notes" i always get. so many likes hardly and reblogs and almost never comments. which idk comments don't do a lot for me if you don't reblog it yk. reblogs are so important. you tell me you like it so much you want to show all your friends this silly thing i made so maybe they can show their friends too.

maybe im just in a mood today but idk lol someone sent me a request last night and i almost cried because i was so excited.

#fayths moodboard #fayth using her blog as a diary #fayths being dramatic <3 #long post #but i cant bring myself to be sorry

[embarressment-erradicated]

welp, I guess it's time, it's time I write that introduction.

hey everyone! my name is MT. Unfathoma! I like alot of stuff, and do alot of things. I go by way to many different names, and I don't wish for any of them to be connected more than needed!

I post whatever I feel like posting. this may upset you, this may horrify you, this may even scar you for life. however, this blog? it's my no limits blog.

that being said, there are a few rules for this blog, both for me, and you

I will not, ever post something that isn't my own, and if I reblog something, it will be because I have something to say

if you think another account is me, or realize I seem awfully familiar to someone you know, you can message me about it, but do not say anything publicly about it, this is not a part of my internet presence which I want thrown for all to see

this is not a safe space, this is not a space which intends to hurt you either. think of it as a mad scientists lab, you'll probably be fine, however there is always a chance where something may negatively affect you.

while I will not ban people, unless absolutely needed, please keep in mind to not be an asshole, if you have concerns or comments about what I write here, that's fine, however if you wish to harass me, that will get you fucking no where.

I will never reveal more than I need to about my life, for obvious reasons, I will not reveal my age, location, name, any key identifiers, and the such, if you do not feel like interacting with someone you don't actually know about other than what they tell you, then leave.

no one is obligated to do anything, however it is always preferred that you say something over liking a post.

if something in this offends you, and it isn't just something I'm into, like a fetish or kink, then feel free to say something about it, I'm a flawed person, deeply so, so if you think something is wrong, say it

those should be some decent ground rules. however the next ones are for people who try to get into my account.

do not post anything that may get this account banned

do not change the password

post as yourself, using an identifier to differentiate from my posts

do not delete any posts whatsoever.

that should be it!

hope your all having a great day! cya

(oh right, my pronouns are they/them, use them, also if your speaking of me formally, use MT. as in mountain, like MT. unfathoma, pronounced as either M T, or mount, depending on your preference)

that should be all for now honestly, enjoy your stay!

#introduction #new #hi hi hi

[echoing-oursong]

hi kat!! i hope you're having a good day!! <3

also, i read this post you reblogged and got to thinking about steve's parents and the fanon interaction with them and... i think maybe i'll just get into my point because wow. it's... a mess honestly.

(also no pressure if this is too jeavy a topic or anything! feel free to ignore/delete.)

so i'm heavily aware that we've barely seen anything from steve's parents. we only have scraps of info about them to work with. but i also rhink that, in this show where every other child/teen character has parents who appear or are spoken about, steve's have rarely been mentioned and have never made an appearance. the mentions are usually nothing good - implications about his father being a jerk and also the literal way he fell down a flight of stairs as a BABY???? like yeah that's a "joke" (hate the duffers so much right now) but that's... not putting them in a great light and while i don't trust the duffers with steve's character at all, i do think that there few instances and the absence of his parents says enough - they aren't there.

with this being said, i hate the fanon interpretation of this. because rarely ever does anyone actually make this realistic. if his parents are addressed, then it's mostly some absurd account of abuse that doesn't match up with canon and leaves me feeling sick because 1. it's unnecessary and feels like trauma porn and 2. it sends the message that abuse only is abuse, or abuse only hurts, when it's something extreme. rarely do i ever see fic authors or just people discussing steve in general who address the actual canon of his situation, which is neglect. and people can say "oh he's 19 by s4, he doesn't need his parents" but as a 19 year old right now, i can say you still need your parents, if not now more than ever.

another side of the horrid ways people cannot seem to read canon is that i saw a few posts floating around that said it would be "so funny if steve's parents were just normal people and he called them assholes because he's dramatic." and i truly cannot stand this. this may be the worst take i've ever seen. like not only is that fucking weird to say, but like. the neglect is LITERALLY there??? you do not have to do mind hula hoops to see it. it basically sends the message that "abuse victims who have faced neglect are dramatic and aren't as valid as worae abuse victims" and i literally seethe with rage at this thought. like... i can't even explain this. i'm pretty sure i had to block the person who sais that because not only were they saying that but they also had THOUSANDS of notes and it just. i can't do it 😭

anyway this is all inspired from how i read the whole "fell down a flight of stairs as a baby" thing and came to the realization that that DEFINITELY says something about his parents, espscially tied back to rhe little bits of evidence we have :/

Omg thank you so much and I also hope you’re having a great day :) also sorry this is late I’ve been working on an essay and studying a lot lol.

Also this does not feel like a heavy topic and it’s actually something I want to talk about so glad I get to talk about it with you. Okay so about Steve’s parents: yeah like we’ve barely heard from them and they only come up in little one lines said by Steve. And I do think it is interesting that out of all the parents that have made appearances it is a little bit off putting that we’ve never actually seen his parents (to me I feel like that means that Steve’s parents just aren’t in his life that much). Yeah like with the falling off the flight of stairs - it’s just not putting them in a good light at all. (I also hate the duffers for that ‘joke’) and like you as I’ve already said lol - to me it just means that Steve’s parents aren’t there.

I also hate the fanon interpretation of it all. Yes omg people barely make this realistic at all! Like you said sometimes they just make it too abusive. And you’re right about the points like people either make it to be almost too much where it seems like trauama porn and about the message that abuse is only abuse if it’s extreme. I really never figured out why this was something I didn’t like and you worded it perfectly. I also agree heavily as a 19 year old that you still need you parents on you life.

Omg I had seen those exact same posts about how Steve was being dramatic and it’s just soo weird. And how ‘funny’ that would be and it’s like no it’s genuinely not funny at all. And you’re right like the neglect is still there and yes it definitely sends that message of what you said! You said it perfectly because it just reeks of that. The whole thing about Steve being ‘dramatic’ really puts a bad taste in my mouth just based on that principle and the fact that Steve is a family person. He loves family and he’s dreamed about having kids and etc and yet he’s still saying shit about his own parents. Like I genuinely think that’s glaring that he’s willing to do that. And talk about his parents to other people! He’s not just talking to his parents but he’s willingly telling people that he cares about that his dad is a dick. And they also don’t even say anything back about it! They’re not acting like steve is over reacting (except for maybe Nancy in season 1 but also Barb went missing and she was pre-occupied with all of that soo) but like Robin doesn’t even say anything about it - she just kind of accepts it and she tries to cheer him up. And this was even before Robin saw them as friends. Glad you blocked that person though and damn I can’t believe they had thousands of notes on it.

I love how this all became inspired by that and yeah like that one like that they added in honestly says so much about Steve’s parents and the neglect. Which is why I fucking can’t believe that the duffers then made Steve say that he ‘needed a thump on the head’ and that Nancy was the one who gave him that and then he thanked her. Everyone’s talking about how Steve talking about wanting kids to Nancy was bad however this whole talk of him being like ‘I’m glad you thumped me on the head Nancy’ made me honest to god want to fucking scream. I was actually fucking screaming the first time I watched it and I felt like dying. Also lol that became ranty but yeppp I agree with you heavily about the topic of Steve’s parents and how fandom doesn’t deal with it in the best way.

Guess who's back?

Hello, everyone! Yes, I'm here. Alive and breathing. I know I've been dead for like three months, and I'm sorry about that. Or not. But first of, I want to say thank you for the support you've given me of what I do here in this platform; I came back to see A LOT of notifications that people are still following, liking, and reblogging my posts. I'm really happy and grateful that people are still finding them fun and insightful. Oh, and thank you so much for helping me reach 726 followers! <3

Anyhow, I'll have to give a few updates of what's been happening in my life lately. Honestly, things haven't been easy since I left. And even though I already have a device so I can get back to Tumblr, I decided to go in hermit mode because my energy and mental state couldn't f-cking take it. It's not in my plan to come back today, actually, but I strongly feel that it's time I should. However, during my break, I learnt a lot about myself and I feel like I've changed drastically. So I'm truly thankful that I decided to take that three-month break.

I'm still going through a lot of things in my life right now, but I still hold on to that hope and faith that things will be okay eventually. Nothing's permanent after all. But yeah, I intuitively feel that big changes are about to happen in my life and that's why I have to go through the storm first. So wish me luck while I brave this out :') And to the person who's reading this; allow me to remind you that whatever you're going through right now is not happening to you, it's happening for you.

Lastly, there are still some asks from the past game that I hosted and I'll be working on that soon. It'll probably take me some time to do a new a pick a card reading but who knows, I'll probably change my mind. Oh, and there might be some changes that I'll do in this blog; but I don't know what that is yet, though I've been feeling like my guides are encouraging me to do something new.

For now, let me first change the aesthetic of my blog. It's overwhelmingly... pink, it really doesn't fit with my vibe anymore, LMFAO. And I'll be working on organizing some stuffs here, perhaps I'll delete some posts as well (with the exception of my pick a cards, of course.) Later!

So I’m p sure you do this to promote education and to stop misinformation, but why do you engage with anti-vegan shithead carnists like sebbiesheepie, agro-carnist or dairyisntscary? I’ve tried in the past, especially for the above listed reasons but I’m found that engagement with them is less productive than talking to a wall and usually it comes with harassment and death threats sent to me from their fans. I guess, why would you subject yourself to such idiocy on their part? Also wanna give a shout out of a big “FUCK YOU” to these anti-vegan blogs and others like them 🥰

I guess as a follow up to what I just sent. What I mean to say is IMHO it’s a waste of time to spend on those cretins, and your mental and emotional well-being far outweigh their smooth brains. ❤️ 2/2

honestly i struggle with this, and i'm not sure i've found the best way to do it yet. but like you said, its to put some real information in a sea of lies and misinformation. i definitely don't think i will change their mind, some of them are definite trolls and the other ones...

but i do think its important to spread information where there is misinformation. its not for the person spreading the lies, its for the "audience". maybe some person lurking on here is going to scroll through the notes and see my reblog and look through it, see if my arguments and sources are more compelling. and that's why i do it.

i try to make some rules, i wont (generally) engage with a post that has very few notes (no point), and i wont engage with straight up trolls. but right now i feel like its important to be a counter voice to that i guess? i don't always follow my own rules, and i should do that more though :D

but also like...it doesn't super drain me atm? i have a bunch of resources that i kind of just copy, and i like scientific research (writing a paper on climate change and veganism for uni rn). and i want to help vegans find ways to argue against these things, to have resources and facts to use when they encounter such arguments. actually thinking of maybe making a quick resource post (though @acti-veg has so many resources, not sure it is necessary haha)

and i honestly could not care less about the anons lol. ignore and delete.

but thank you for pointing it out, this is definitely something i'm still figuring out, and i always appreciate input/counterarguments on this issue!!

#content #this is also my sideblog so i cant really talk to people in comments #which would be one way of doing activism without promoting their stuff i guess #ask #hope its ok to publish #i always publish unless ppl tell me they wanted it anon?? #but maybe others can give me advice #probably going to take a step back from reblogging straight from the most blatant liars out there #the ignorance and stupidity is honestly hard to bear #and i want to find other ways of making vegan #that helps vegans stay vegan and tries to deal with everyday problems #but i have no idea how to do that on here #and i hate all other social media #also i love ur blog

[robinsnest2111]

I want to formally apologise to every single one of my followers and mutuals for being ignorant about how triggering, shocking and unacceptable a certain subject matter/fandom I was a part of is to most people. I apologise for ignorantly and naively reblogging such things and answering the concerned asks in an equally ignorant and defensive way.

From the bottom of my heart I thank @aggravatetheaxe and anon for pushing back and giving me a much needed and long overdue reality check.

Now I'm honestly disgusted with myself for ever seeing anything positive or fun in this show, especially for liking certain characters and seeing them in a positive light, and for ever creating and sharing fanart/writing for it, it's just not right. As a German I should've known better and not gotten involved with and attached to this kind of show in the first place.

I deleted all the posts relating to it from my blog so no one will stumble over any of it and have a bad experience. I will try my hardest to erase every memory of this show from my mind so it won't come up again and harm anyone.

I know this won't ever be enough to make things right so feel free to unfollow/block me if you need to. I don't mind, I understand. Please curate your online experience to your liking and comfort, if I am not part of it any longer that's more than okay.

I'm truly sorry everyone.

[dervampireprince]

I honestly can't respect anyone who buys that game, and I think if someone near me, or someone who I care about bought it, I'd stop caring about them. If a game is more important than my life, then you don't need to be part of it. 🎯

i had written up a really long vent response but i don't want to do that. everything i have to say about this game i have said or i've reblogged and retweeted opinions i agree with. choosing to reblog a few posts about his situation when i'm in the mood too is not an invitation to them come into my ask box and bring up a topic that is so extremely triggering for me. just because i was in a good enough mindset to reblog a couple posts earlier does not mean a few hours late that i'll still be in that mindset. any mention of this fandom or creator is so triggering for me and i feel if i explain how much so it will just entice trolls to send me content on purpose so please do not send me asks or messages about it. i don't care if i've mentioned it before in my own time, i don't care if you're also trans, i don't care. don't send trans people asks and messages about this unless they have said it's okay or asked for people to do that. even if they've made lots of posts about it. making or reblogging posts about it isn't me inviting this topic into my ask box. any more asks about this will be deleted. if you want to see stances on this then feel free to look at my twitter.

and the fact i can't even original posts like this with trigger warnings for phobias because there are now people who go to the tw tr4ns.phobia tag just to send hate to the people who've used that tag. that must be what's happening because i seem to always get threats and slurs in my ask box after i answer asks about trans hate so i don't know how to tag posts like this anymore in a way that helps everyone be safe. if i use the tw tag to keep others safe who've blocked it i know i'm opening myself up to threats again like wtfff.

honesty i'm just going to block anyone who sends me any asks or messages about this situation. even if it's comfort, if it's about this fandom or creator or anything related you're getting blocked. i can't do this. i feel so not okay right now and i will do anything and everything i can to stop myself from getting triggered like this. do not come to people, especially trans people, wanting to talk about this, even if in the past they have made or reblogged or liked posts about it. doesn't mean they want to talk about it. engaging with this content at my own pace when i'm able too (and most of when i was posting and retweeting on twitter i was doom scrolling and mentally harming myself and not in a good place and having a breakdown when i was retweeting most of that stuff mind you) i don't know if this makes sense but like. allow people to engage with that content with their own consent, dont' bring it too them.

[baka-monarch]

uh maybe don’t post this, but would u consider taking down the dream blaze post, because it’s just a gross cesspool of bigotry and slurs now…i love dream and the post has unfortunately turned into cyber bullying x1000 😟 it’s your decision obviously, but everything said in the comments and reblogs is honestly sickening and there’s so much misinformation (as well as doxxed information) under it

Part of me wants to, and the other part of me wants to leave it up just in spite of people (cause I know they'll be like "Op took it down it's a win!" And I know that's selfish but yeah-)

But the thing is even if I did delete it the post would still exist, when someone reblogs a post it stays up, so if I delete it it'll be off of my blog and out of my notes- but any reblog anyone has ever made of it will still exist

So it's kinda a complicated situation at this point because if I delete my original post they'll start reblogging it celebrating me deleting it and all the biggotry will still exist, just not on my blog- but if I don't delete it then it'll still be on my blog, but I have no idea how it'll affect my followers dashboard and if it'd stop them from seeing it anymore, especially since it's blazed (and idk how to unblaze it)

It's just a very complicated decision and I'm very tired right now so I am definitely worried about making the wrong choice right now- hopefully if I can actually fall asleep then when I wake up I'll be in the right mind to make a proper choice

I'm sorry that people are being bitches and making you uncomfortable, and I really wish I knew the best solution to this or knew how to just get them off my post- but I really just don't know what to do, I'm genuinely sorry

[spongerobertstudpants]

Hi! Thank you for reblogging my little RWRB ask meme! Do you mind me sending you a few number for questions as a thank you gift?

#1, #9, #12, #18, #21 ? if you feel like it! Thank you :)

And this is what happens when I don't fully read a post and figured I would just answer all the questions lol.

This took some time but thank you for send me this ask because I did love answering these 🥰

1- What was your introduction to Red, White and Royal Blue? How did you become aware of it, what was your first impression of it?

I honestly don't remember. I think I read it after the initial hype but I don't remember how I heard about the book. I do remember that once I bought my copy, I read it in less than 1 week. I had some pretty late nights and struggled to keep awake at work 😅

9- If you had to delete the entire movie but one scene, which scene would you save?  

This one is tough! There are so many scenes I would keep 😫 If I had to pick one, I think it would have to be the red room. Even though I would have loved to have Alex telling Henry to "shut all the way up" instead of them limiting him to say "shut up". The way this scene played out in the movie was still perfect. How awkward Alex was in the beginning to how awkward Alex and Henry became when they were cut off by Amy. And everything in between was just perfect!

12- Share one of your unpopular opinion about the book and/or the movie.

I think I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I was totally fine with June not being included in the movie. I don't think she would have added anything to the plot. And in all honesty, June isn't my favorite from the book but I think it may have to do with the fact that her personality and mine are really similar

18- You have to get a RWRB tattoo (either because you want one or because someone is threatening you and you have to get one to save your life). What do you choose? It can be anything! 

This is too easy. Henry's signet ring and Alex's house key. Either both on the chain. Or the chain intertwined with the ring like they were both placed on a surface

Bonus! (or 21-) Do you read fanfic? Follow some visual artist (drawing, painting, gifing...)? Recommend someone to follow! (rwrb related ofc)

I do read fanfic and follow authors. I also do the same with visual artists. I don't follow people who create for the red white and blue fandom right now. But that's because when I first signed up for tumblr, I was dedicated to robron and only robron. I think everyone gif that has been created has been amazing! And I'm hoping to start reading rwrb fanfic soon!!

i gotta be honest, i debated for over a week whether i should say something or not. i'd like to apologize in advance, if what i say here hurts anyone or is wrong, feel free to tell me so and i'll fuck right off. (cw: talk of rasism. i think? maybe? i'm not even sure how to properly warn for this)

i'd like to think i try my best with understanding other people problems, such as poc facing racism. i don't understand it bc i don't experience it, so i do my research and listen to those who do have this as part of their reality and learn what i can from them. but last week i stumbled upon a bit of a wall which left me confused and angry with myself.

it's about the star wars fandom, mainly the mandalorian and tbobf fans. idk how into either of those shows you are, so here are some sparknotes:

- the first four episodes of tbobf came out and they were... eh. not great

- the fifth episode came out, it was great except for the fact that pedro pascal seemed to have hijacked the show. ok, one episode for the exposition, no one loves that the best episode so far happened without the main character in it. i get it, i felt the same way, this is about boba, not din but we'll live.

- the sixth episode came out, still following din, not boba. not cool, nobody likes that myself included. especially since the 5th and 6th episodes were the best ones in the season and you can tell. i hated that, actually. i wanted boba and got the mandalorian season 2.5

but then! poc fans started to shit on pedro pascal for being a white man who hijacked a second show for himself and took away a chance for representation from maori people.

ok, the only thing confusing me here is the fact that the people who say that about pascal now, were the same people who cheered for him being the first poc lead in the star wars franchise when the mando series first came out in 2019.

how is it, that in 2019 he was a poc and now he's white? there are valid things to criticise about episodes 5 and 6, why the sudden need to reach for the racebending? is he a latino man or a white man? what made everyone change their minds about him, besides the airing of those episodes? i want to understand, i truly do, but i can't do that if people change their minds without explaining at least a little.

so, i guess what i'm trying to say is: please explain or if not, pick one and stick with it?

i know how this all sounds, and once again i apologize but i honestly don't know what to do anymore. i want to learn but i don't know what this lesson is trying to teach.

thank you for your time and i'm sorry for being the shit stirer (or, if you decide to fuck it and delete this ask i'm sorry for spoiling your mood)

You seem like you're coming from a legit place of confusion and frustration without any real malice so I'm going to post this and open the conversation for anyone who wants to take it up in the replies/reblogs (not my inbox) as I am 1.) white and 2.) also uninformed on this specific situation.

Let's make an attempt to keep it civil, please.

Firstly, no one wants a therapy book. These are books about Faeries. So no one is sitting wanting to read about withdrawals, puking, crying and screaming. Maybe a very SMALL contingent of readers. Not the majority. Nesta falling down the stairs, Nesta refusing to train, Nesta giving attitude to Cassian, that's it. That's the withdrawals. Since she is not a full blown alcoholic or a sex addict, there wouldn't be massive withdrawals. She is not Amy Winehouse.

Secondly, the intervention is done exactly for that reason--so she doesn't turn into Amy Winehouse. It's not 'implied' that she is having potentially dangerous sex with people who could hurt her. It's a fact. She says it herself. It's not 'implied' that she drinks too much. She says it herself. It's observed. The concern isn't that she is doing those things--no one is looking for her to become a sweet, celibate virgin. The concern is that she is doing these things TOO much. That's how you become an addict.

People in power, on whom she depends decided to step in and put an end to it. That's how interventions work. Especially since she decided to be completely dependent on them financially. If she had a job, then yes, no one can tell her what to do. You make your own bed and decisions, and that's what she did.

The whole 'sisterly' involvement--she was the person who cut everyone out. She cut out Feyre, then Elain, Cassian, Amren. It was her decision. What are they going to do? Did Elain not try to get involved in her life? Did she not invite her to Solstice? Elain was the only person who gave her a gift. Was it Elain or Nesta who decided that they didn't the other? As I recall, Nesta didn't acknowledge Elain on the street. She refused to participate. So should the sisters just take it? Accept the bullshit and keep the checks coming? Should Feyre and Elain just sit back and watch Nesta spiral out of control until she does become an addict and/or gets raped? or hurt? Yes, there comes a time when you are just fed up and Elain, or Feyre, are not obligated to coddle Nesta and let get do whatever it is that she wants to do, and watch her hurt herself.

I am aware of your opinions and you will never agree and I know you'll still insist that the IC is horrible and the sisters don't care. But honestly, they saved Nesta so there is that.

I sometimes don't know whether I should just delete these, because someone always write a whole ass aggressive post in the anons when you know you could just post it yourself. But sometimes I get a lot of joy out of these-- I wish you put this much energy in analyzing the actual text but alas.

Anyway, let me read.

Point 1: this is not a therapy book. I agree S/JM should stop writing about trauma.

Point 2: The intervention is done for exactly that reason--I argue that you don't know the reason and neither do I, and nor do I feel that S/JM does. You can definitely argue about addiction and where it leads, but I can argue that the text doesn't support that she has one or one that warrants an intervention beyond offering a support system, which then I ask why the intervention is there at all, since I know very well that characters do not have autonomy and this was an author's choice. I question S/JM's narrative decisions and how they are framed in the novel which is why I cannot support specific claims about characters.

Point 3: I already talked about this in a reblog. So I'm going to dismiss this one.

Point 4: If the intention on behalf of the writer is to show that they care, then... I got to see scenes where they care. It can't be speculation. It has to be concrete. If the goal is to show realism, then you have to show realistic consequences of trauma, the dirt of it all, and then also the push and pull of healing which arguably is not in here. You can show people being annoyed by her trauma, that's realistic but it's not realistic for someone to jump into an intervention. You know realistically, as in of this world, you cannot force anyone to be in a program without their consent, and they can leave at any time. Of course there are certain instances where this is not true, but it takes years to get people the healing or help for addiction/trauma that they need and if people don't want to heal well you can't do nothing about it. That's realistic.

If you are arguing that Nesta is rolling down a steep hill to nowheresville as it seems then... by all means it probably should take more than giving a gift at solstice, which doesn't make Elain nor Feyre look good that this is the height of trying. To go straight to intervention without convincing evidence that it's needed nor that they tried literally anything else is my point. So if the goal was to make the foundation for a sisterly relationship, I am not convinced. If the goal was to show they care, I am certainly not convinced.

The objective of any book is to convince the reader of something. If you did not convince a bulk of the readership, whether that be anti-Nesta's who are not quelled or pro-Nesta's who are not satisfied, then the writer did not convince well enough. Which is what I am saying specifically about the benevolence of the IC. That claim lacks contextual evidence. It is not about whether I like them or not. Who cares about that? I like interesting characters, I am arguing that if the author herself wanted me to believe they were "good" or morally righteous, she did not provide that basis. Actually she gave me a lot of evidence that they aren't. Which is fine, if it amounts to something. If doesn't then, S/JM wrote an unconvincing book.

Point 5: The book says that Nesta saved the IC, literally. The IC did not save Nesta, neither literally nor emotionally. That would mean they were directly involved or... empathetic and supportive, which I already said I'm not convinced and why that is. What saved Nesta and what made the majority of the book was the House, her friends, a goal, the Mother, and a romantic relationship. A support system. I can argue that. Anyone can argue that. For one, because the IC is notably absent for most of the book and when they're there they don't look great. Then you have to think why did S/JM make a relationship that is supportive and have that parallel the presence/absence of the IC who is blatantly not? Doesn't make them look great again. Interesting yes they are, but not benevolent.

~

Look, I'm assuming the point of sending me an anon is because you don't agree and you don't know what to do with that, but you also don't want to reblog and you want to make sure I see this post, because I probably wouldn't. It is totally within your right to argue. I love discussions even with people who do not agree with me. But I want to discuss things. So, give me contextual evidence. Give me lines, give me connections. Connect them dots. Once you have done this then hit me up and we'll discuss. Right now your argument is based on opinion alone. You think this. You think that. Purely speculative. It's not based on anything and therefore can't be argued well. For lack of a better way to say this, I don't care about your opinion. Opinions are not fact. They don't mean anything, they're as good as the people behind them. I want to discuss the text and how it works, and what it does, and how it's supported. The consequences of certain narrative decisions.

So, if you think the IC is supportive and justified and want to tell me specifically, show me how they are--by the book, how scenes are framed, what actions characters take along the path to the end. Not by what you know interventions are or because the idea of mental health/substance abuse issues is generally hard to deal with--that's not good enough. You cannot argue the text without using the text either in quote or paraphrasing or giving examples especially on a post where I am talking about the evidence and the lack of it. You said I wouldn't change my mind, you don't know that. I can certainly see something from your pov, but you have to do more than this.

You chose to leave an anon, so you either do the homework or you don't leave an anon with me.

#anti sjm #I do like when people leave me these interestingly enough #I just want more substance #give me something to comment on #I don't want to just reiterate what I have already said #if you don't agree I don't care #that literally does not bother me #but then you don't have to tell me about it either #that's a little childish

I honestly cannot stand the Loki fandom on tumblr anymore. This is the most toxic, hateful fandom I've encountered in a long, long time. I don't know how you've managed to stay for so long, but I've always enjoyed your content and wish you the best of luck going forward here. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed or outright ashamed of a fandom before, but this series has really brought a whole lot of ugliness out of Loki's. And it's such a shame, because it wasn't always this bad.

Friend, it makes me so sad that you feel this way. I know from negative experience in other fandom spaces what you're going through. It's really painful because we come to fandom with an earnest piece of ourselves that we want to share, project or INject, into characters who resonate with us, for any variety of reasons. This means each of us has a very personal, individual, and sometimes fever-pitched stake in how our "comfort character" is portrayed in canon.

This fandom angst derives from a couple of logical fallacies which I wanna spell out here, and from which, I hope, you can free yourself, in order to remain in a psychological space where you can still enjoy the things you love. <3 No really. I am a 38-year-old, successful professional, I have been around the block with fandom discourse and "grown-up real-world" intellectual discourse, and I am telling you, THIS is how I've "lasted this long":

1) Fallacy One: "Canon is the "most real" version of characterization." No. We don't even have to go into "Death of the Author, baybee" or Reception Theory or any of the other stuff in 20th and 21st century media crit to refute this. Simply put: you experience the media. The media exists in a wholly fictional realm anyway. The only difference is money/resources and breadth of audience. Your experience and, say, Kevin Feige's, or Kate Herron's, are all equally "real." Your Variant of the Sacred Canon (I DO think they're being that meta with the fans in the Loki series, yes), if you will, deserves to exist as much as the one Tom Hiddleston acts out on screen. You have a right to the Loki that exists in your head. 2) Fallacy Two: Seemingly opposite but often entwined with Fallacy One, as a defense/coping mechanism against Fallacy One: "My version is the 'most valid' version, and departure from my version equates lack of authenticity or effort, or, most dangerous of all, moral/ethical inferiority." No. We all have the right to the Loki in our heads. Now this one is trickier, admittedly, because the people who gravitate to characters like Loki tend to share his experience with social Othering/marginalization and trauma. That means that if you tell them "you're wrong, and stop getting in my face and being so aggressive," you could be accused (indeed, perhaps rightfully) of tone-policing someone who identifies with a marginalized group (racially, in terms of ability, in terms of gender identity or sexual orientation, etc). The best thing, therefore, for you to do is acknowledge that your readings of the "text" (here, a tv show) differ, and that you respectfully decline to discuss the matter. Even if it rankles you, don't engage. These people have a very personal stake in the media and in essence, it's kindest to let them depart to be angry in their own space.

3) Connected closely to the above, “What we condone in fiction equates what we condone in reality,” God, no. Much ink has been spilled by more eloquent writers on this, so I won’t expound. But don’t go there. Don’t fall for that. Lol. It leads only to misery. 

Habits I would encourage, to avoid Big Fandom Wank:

1) When you see content you don't like, especially spoken in an incendiary or absolutist manner, block or unfollow. Do not engage directly. Vent about it in your own space if you must, or better yet, in private, to trusted friends. If you engage, which...sometimes it IS worth it to do so, if something has real personal significance to you as a consumer of that media, then be braced for people to be rude or even abusive, because human beings, especially in internet spaces, are messy emotional creatures who leap to conclusions without gauging for nuance. There is disagreement over different and valid interpretations of content, and then there is just being unpleasant on principle.

2) See advice in Fallacy Two re avoiding tone-policing.

3) Find your people and curate your dash strictly. This can be ten people or it can be two. Make a close-knit small group in a private space for all your sharing of ideas. Make sure these are people you trust, who, when you spend time consuming the media with them, make you feel better, not worse.

4) Unfollow liberally. Block liberally. You don't owe anyone your time, energy, or, especially, happiness. People will accuse you of cowardice or "running away from a grown-up debate." Let them. It's pitiable, in perspective. They're insecure and sad and they need to say manipulative things. But you know better, don't you? You're just preserving your peace of mind.

5) If you mess up, go quiet for a while, take a break from social media, and it will blow over. I promise. Delete anon hate (and know that you can block the sender, even an anon, on Tumblr, too!).

Friend, thank you for your kind words. I'm so sorry you're so sad. I hope I see you here again someday. <3

Anyone who needs a boost can reblog this advice, btw.

she apologized for how she handled the situation and apologized for brushing off someone's honest criticisms as hate. what more is she meant to do? throw herself onto a pyre? is she not allowed to feel lousy that this whole thing blew up in her face? because she's an adult and she made a mistake, she's not allowed to be sad or stressed? she's still an imperfect human. apologizing immediately usually means people are still sensitive to their own hurt of being called out because it's fresh and on their mind so it tends to slip into their apology, but if she had waited any longer to compose herself, you guys would probably have an issue with how long she took. also, in aaaaaallll of this, I've have yet to once see what exactly about her work is so problematic? I've read her fic and I personally can't see anything wrong, although I will admit that yes, I'm a white ciswoman but I'd like to think I'm aware of negative tropes. but the only thing touted is "it made an mlm uncomfortable" but HOW??? honestly, I want to know! if anything so I can avoid doing the same thing! how is anyone meant to learn when you're not bringing up these points as often as you're explicitly laying out the problems in her apology and whatnot. I've seen 6 posts about how shit the apology was and for why and I've not once seen the original comment detailing why the fic was problematic, and I've been looking on twit, tumblr, insta, and ao3. if it's been deleted, why isn't anyone stating again and again what's wrong? also, if someone is making fic/art you don't like, don't. interact. with. it. there's tons of stuff on ao3 and twit that I don't like, some of it that I think is disgusting (do you know how many fics there are with keith/kosmos?) and I just scroll past it cause it can't hurt me if I don't read it. there's one artist that's pretty popular on Twitter and I personally really hate they way they draw klance but it's all over my tl. I respect that person's art style and creativeness and keep on moving. other people enjoy it, good for them. and if I start reading something and get surprised with something I dont like, I leave! find people who write things you like and stop engaging with creators who's things you don't like, as far as I know no one is holding a gun to your head making you read problematic fic. also for as much as you rag on her for the words she used to apologize, you don't seem to be considering your own words when offering criticism. if Taylor mistook the person's words as hate, couldn't it have been because the way he worded the complaint was done hatefully? lastly, no one, absolutely no one, is required to talk about world issues when they're running a fandom account,no matter how "big" they are. we all know what's going on in the world, we're surrounded by sad and stressful stories practically 24/7 and if someone isn't, they're probably curating their social feeds to be that way (like you should do when it come to kl content creators you don't like). people sending hate in Taylor's defense are in the wrong I agree, and this isn't hate its critism its a discussion, but Taylor isn't responsible for, how many people did you say? 16k on twit? even if she said hey guys stop, you think they would? she's can't control all those people and expecting her to is nonsense. I see so many younger fans expecting perfection in their fandoms and that just isn't going to happen. yes we should be striving to be better but no one is ever going to be perfect. not you, not me, not the mlm person, not Taylor, not anyone on any side of this argument. the only way to avoid this kind of circular dog piling and hate sending is to better curate your fandom experience by ignore those you have issues with.- 🦛

she apologized for how she handled the situation and apologized for brushing off someone's honest criticisms as hate. what more is she meant to do?

im pretty sure i said its good that she realizes she handled it poorly. but she makes the whole apology about this, doesnt directly talk about the issues and i know someone went to her to talk about it. also, it took her a day to say something about it so it wasnt exactly immediate (in the sense people had already stopped talking about it but that doesnt mean they werent still bothered). the apology was directed at mlm, and i havent seen one saying it felt genuine. of couse she can be hurt but when you apologize to a marginalized group the focus shouldnt be your feelings, but the feelings of the ones you have hurt.

I've have yet to once see what exactly about her work is so problematic?

she admits to be projecting on lance. so she makes him very femine and keith very masculine. and ok, gay couples like that do exist, but she is a woman projecting in this situation so this bothers people. putting mlm in this position is a harmful steriotype, bc it feels very heterosexual. this is a trope, it unfortunately happens a lot and its harmful. women need to be aware of what they are representing when drawing/writing mlm because well, real mlm are going to see it, and no one likes to feel like a fetish to others. and its not our place to question if the criticism is right or wrong when we are not mlm, so if you read this and think “but thats not a problem thats not a fetish etc” well, its not your place to judge that. theres more to it and you probably could get a better answer from a mlm sorry.

if someone is making fic/art you don't like, don't. interact. with. it. there's tons of stuff on ao3 and twit that I don't like, some of it that I think is disgusting (do you know how many fics there are with keith/kosmos?) and I just scroll past it cause it can't hurt me if I don't read it.

please, lets not compare a minority pointing out harmful tropes with. something fucking illegal.

as you said, you are a cis woman, of course its not going to hurt you in this case. but if people are making harmful content its not a simple matter of “dont interact with it” because they will still be promoting it, other people are going to read it, and media influences how we see minorities so of course people will not like when they see bad portrayal of them. also, tumblr sucks so even if you want to just “dont interact with it” its hard because even after blocking you can still cross the content of someone. not sure how it works on twitter but anyway this discussion started on tumblr and tumblr doesnt stop people who were bothered by her to avoid her by blocking.

if Taylor mistook the person's words as hate, couldn't it have been because the way he worded the complaint was done hatefully?

i think she deleted the ask by now, but i dont remember the ask being hateful. i remember someone asking if she was a fujoshi, and another person mentioned that mlm didnt like the way she portrayals klance. i dont remember it being hateful. but again, she apologized for handling it badly. its just that she stops there.

no one, absolutely no one, is required to talk about world issues when they're running a fandom account,no matter how "big" they are. we all know what's going on in the world, we're surrounded by sad and stressful stories practically 24/7 and if someone isn't, they're probably curating their social feeds to be that way

ignoring world issues is a privilege. if someone is able to turn off from all the problems in the world, its a privilige. yes no one should talk aobut it all the time thats not even healthy, but to never talk about it is a privilege. thats what black people are saying, they cant just turn off from racism, so yes they are going to expect white people to do something. online honestly i cant do shit, i dont think anything i reblog here does a difference and i do what i can in my own country, but she has a plataform that could help bring awareness. again, its a privilege to be able to curate your social media to be a perfect happy place.

even if she said hey guys stop, you think they would? she's can't control all those people and expecting her to is nonsense.

maybe they wouldnt, but if people were doing this type of thing in my name, in my defense, i would at least say something about it idk. she cant control them but she makes nothing to show that she disagrees or look for the people being harassed to say something about it.

the only way to avoid this kind of circular dog piling and hate sending is to better curate your fandom experience by ignore those you have issues with.

when it comes to simple things like “i prefer taller lance and i dont like taller keith” yeah, its fine to ignore people who draw taller keith and move on with your life or something like that. but we are talking about mlm, a real group of people, being upset for being portrayed in a harmful and steriotype way. its everywhere in fandom, and in real life. they cant escape from real life, and then they come to fandom where everyone wants some escapism and have to deal with more issues. its tiring

#well. good morning #anon
