#i'm so tired of this fandom sometimes

[loonylooly]

watching Feysands talk about "I'll never forgive Tamlin for killing Rhys's mom and sister and hanging their wings!"... did we read the same books?? Tamlin's father and older brothers (personally I believe coerced but let's not get too opinionated) got Tamlin to tell them where they'd be, killed them, and THEY hung up the wings. And also everyone seems to conveniently forget that Rhys and his dad then massacred the entire spring court high family (is that what they're called?) INCLUDING Tamlin's completely innocent mother. If we're gonna pin Rhys's mother and sister's deaths on Tamlin (who did not do it), lets pin Tamlin's mother's death on Rhys and his dad

#They were mad that Tamlin “threw away the wings like they were nothing” #I don't remember what he did with them but i swear it's stated he didn't “throw them away like they were nothing” #i'm so tired of this fandom sometimes #leave my man alone #the allegations are FALSE he is NOT a mother murderer #also tbf i'm pretty sure it was Rhys' dad who killed Tam's mom and dad #and then Rhys killed the brothers #so i'm not exactly sure WHO killed the mother #BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS #pro tamlin #tamlin #tamlin's mom #tamlin acotar

Tumblr is way chiller than Twitter for sure but sometimes I see a post and I'm like. Y'all DO remember this is a block game, right? You're not gonna get legitimately pissy and passive-aggressive over characters doing things in a block game, RIGHT???

#i talk #qsmp talk #Chatter: Jaiden don't do this— twitter will cancel you! #The rest of us in chat: Why should she care about anything Twitter says #People on frickin twitter AND tumblr: *whining about Jaiden* #LIKE BRO YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS LMFAOOOOOO #fandom wank #I'm gonna start unfollowing people #not even just for bad opinions I'm just tired of seeing people being mean and bitter #I'm just here to have fun I don't want to constantly see whining #Critique characters and stuff all you want that's part of the fandom experience but some of y'all are so damn mean for no reason lmao #Touch grass and seek therapy #I know me posting this is part of the ''too many people complaining'' problem but Jaiden's my gal I am a little bit annoyed by that #Again: character critique is fine #but sometimes it's just so passive-aggressive and like. written like the character did a personal attack on YOU #<- the last tag is the most important point here I think

[ghostoftheyear]

jeez that post resonated with people, huh

anyway this is your reminder to reblog from people and scream and keysmash in the tags. when you read that fic, hit that kudos button, scream and keysmash in the comments (if you liked it; if you didn't, keep that shit to yourself). retweet/reskeet and make sure you're letting creatives know that their work is loved!

and don't bitch if you're not getting exactly the fic or art you want. don't be fucking rude to the creative's face. like I said in the other post, we're a community, and that means being fucking civil human beings to each other.

#fandom #drives me crazy sometimes #we're here to have fun and celebrate the things we enjoy #don't let corporations take over fandom #don't sit there quietly consuming like they want you to #be riotous #be joyous #show your love #and who cares who sees you #we want connection #we want to know what we're doing isn't falling on deaf ears #i'm so tired of friends being hurt or disappearing #it's ok to love #if you need permission i'm giving you permission

I'm half-tempted to just nuke my discord.

#i feel so inordinately petty because of this #and maybe i'm a shit person for it #but i'm just really fucking frustrated #i joined discord to try and make friends in a fandom space #and same with tumblr #and i get it #i can't make people like me #i can't make people like the stuff i make #sometimes people's personalities and interests don't align #and i know i'm not the most outgoing person #but i just feel so fucking left out and sidelined in these spaces the vast majority of the time #all the interactions and relationships feel so fucking lopsided #i hesitate to engage with other folks and share my own stuff now because of it and it's supposed to be a space where that's encouraged #i hate feeling like no one gives a shit about the things i make #especially the things i'm spending the most fucking time on and am the most passionate about #it feels like everyone is getting hyped up except me #seemingly no one reads or cares about anything i write #like i'm not even worth the time of the people i've “known” the longest even the ones that are supposedly interested in the same things #i feel like an asshole for admitting all this and for feeling this way #but i'm also just tired of trying to encourage and cheerlead for other people and not getting anything in return #i just feel so fucking lost in the crowd

honestly hilarious how many punches ive been pulling for fear of coming off wrong wrt fucking homestuck of all things but it's not just lame cowardice on my part like i think since bearing witness to the kind of insane fandom discourse that existed 2016-2020 i'm half convinced i'll be skinned alive if i imply something strange or unsavory about somebody's blorbo. but actually no that makes it sound like there will be tangible consequences for mildly irritating someone on the internet which isn't true generally speaking it's just the rsd/ocd and i need to get over the idea of people not liking me

#what having several thousand followers does to a motherfucker with problems. #then again this stems from an actual experience i had w a big fandom creator blowing up at me for saying dirk was in the wrong sometimes #dunno if this ramble makes sense but you're getting it anyway #i should grow a spine or something #i don't even want to change anything i do all that much i just want to stop worrying so much about this kind of thing bc it gets in the way #i'm tired of feeling like i should steer clear of putting forward #even the most mildly unpleasant/strange/controversial of ideas just because someone might not like it #that's not! how you make! art! #it's something i need to get over with in general not just wrt to fan content lmao

every time i (a mixed race girl) come across a post that’s basically saying that Marinette, a mixed race girl, isn’t Chinese enough, my urge to set hellfire on this world increases by 100000000%.

#ml fandom salt #miraculous ladybug #miraculous ladybug and chat noir #this isn't just white people saying this shit i've seen non whites going around with this #and ofc it's always the americans #more like AMERICUNTS FUCKS SAKE #listen i don't mind if you're like 'ooo i like marinette with brown eyes or grey eyes' or if you're like #'hey i made this neat redesign of marinette and she looks a bit more chinese here' #BUT #i can't stand it when people go around saying SHE SHOULD LOOK/ACT more CHINESE #FUCK OFF #my family and I are decendents of east asia and guess what SOME OF US HAVE BLUE EYES #and miraculous is a FICTIONAL show #judging someone's race by eye colour or eye SHAPE is stereotypical #i am not chinese enough to fit in china and i'm not british enough to fit in england and i'm not south asian enough to fit there or south #east asian enough to fit there DESPITE being a mix of all of this shit #like it is bad enough growing up being mixed and being told by so many people i'm not X enough #and now seeing my fave characters go through this shit too??? fuck off #ugh i'm so tired #fuck this fandom sometimes

hi what do you think abt t4t kakayama (it's canon to me tbh)

:) hi ty for the question. i will do two sweet pictures of them being intimate and then under the cut there's going to be a longer very unsweet and more technical response

so i'm usually not a very shippy person! but that said i am also on the record as an occasional kakayama + kakayamagai enjoyer

i do hc them both as trans and in different ways w/ different experiences of transition and identity! i have no interest in proving my view as canon, but i do regard my reading of the text (text here including the anime) as a valid interpretation of yamato's experience of identity

yamato, for example, imo, doesnt have any real lived experience of being raised as a child of any gender. he was an experimental subject, and then he was Danzō's weapon/vessel for the mokuton, and then he was in anbu.

in a fun little word game which should not be taken seriously: it'd almost be more fitting to describe him as "adgender" rather than "transgender" since the prefix "trans" implies moving across where the prefix "cis" means to stand still, but the prefix "ad" means "to move towards" and i headcanon him as somebody who was degendered as a child, not in a cool nonbinary way, but instead in a dehumanizing, objectifying way, so his experience of creating his identity and his gender along with it is one of moving toward the concept of gender this word doesn't and wont exist, but bc of the way english works it would probably be simplified to be spelled precisely the same as "agender" in the same way that "aggression" came from latin "aggredi" which came from "ad" (meaning to/toward) and and latin "gradus" (meaning step) (essentially the combination means "to step to" [in a threatening manner]) the only diferences is where agender (meaning no gender) is pronounced ay-gender, the agender that comes from adgender would be prounounced more like "uhgender" in the same way that agressive isnt pronounced like "ay-gressive" but instead like "uhgressive"

and then...as for kakashi? i just decided on vibes. i didn't think hard about it.

i guess i should also say that, while i draw kakayama very infrequently, when i do draw it i usually try to be very apparent about the transness in the artwork if i can? especially if i'm drawing anything more intimate than a peck on the cheek. it's no secret that shipping is often times the most energized part of fandom, and i kind of don't want to produce romantic or sexual artwork which will be enjoyed by people who don't think trans people can be attractive? or who find that trans headcanons make a character uninteresting to them? or worse, "ruin" a depiction of a character to them?

often i think about in terms of. IF there are people that follow me that love my work (usually) and think that kakashi or yamato are hot (usually) and love kakayama (usually) but get frustrated or even uncomfortable out when i draw them as explicitly trans? then i'm drawing all intimate artwork of them as explicitly trans.

it's a little like...nobody gets to love my work if transgender characters are a turnoff for them. that's the bar for entry, is the way i think of it, but really its more like putting onions in a dish. if you want to eat the dish you have to eat the onions. if you don't want to eat the onions, don't eat the dish. all the meals i make contain onions. i'll never compromise on my intention to put onions in every dish i make. that's my ninja way, as the kids say.

especially in the climate we're in right now.

i don't know. i have a lot of feelings about how most fandoms tend to view trans men, especially in terms of romantic and sexual relationships. I'm doing a bad job of expressing the depth of how much seeing how fandom treats trans male identity and transmasculine bodies impacts the way that i draw + write kakayama, but genuinely it's something i think about every single time i create content about them.

#yamswers #danova #often even when there r trans characters/trans hcs of characters the m/m pairings are usually trans + cis #+ i wanna emphasize: there's nothing wrong with that. trans+cis relationships are as beautiful and valid as t4t #but...in fiction...there's like. expectations. of how a trans guy will act in a relationship with a cis guy #literally every transmasc person knows exactly what im fucking talking about lol #i'm trying to keep this conversation PG bc naruto is not an adult show—so. anyway #the presence of t4t depictions is basically essential in offering an alternative image of relationships + intimacy for trans individuals #a view of trans bodies which is not designed for the pleasure of cis consumption+assumption #a view of trans bodies not couched in an artist statement saying ''this is a trans body. this is how you interact with a body like it.'' #sometimes even stuff made by trans people will cater to explaining transness to cis people + thats fine and okay and— #—can be cathartic to create. esp as a trans person since so many of us are Surrounded by cis people irl #but. as a singular consumer. i get tired of that. i don't want it—at least not in the way that fandom frequently produces #i'm sorry this was probably an ask that expected a reply full of trans love and just got a bunch of technical stuff back #but to be fair this IS how i feel about t4t kakayama

I love over-analyzing media and I have pulled magnificent theories and headcanons out of my ass on the tiniest crumbs in other fandoms before BUT

y'all might be taking this improvised comedy show that is greatly determined by dice rolls a little too seriously

#dimension 20 #fhjy #the number of times I've seen a bit turned into a long sad analysis of the character's trauma ugh #if you browse the tag of this show w/o knowing what it's actually about #you're gonna think it's a lot more serious and dramatic and painful than it actually is #and that little comedy bits are actually hugely significant when they're just jokes #I've seen it with almost every character #and multiple plot points #across nearly every season #and I'm not here to be the fandom police but aren't you guys tired? #does this show not make you laugh way more than it makes you cry? #this fandom is such a bummer sometimes lol #and so often things are hugely influenced by dice rolls #and the story doesn't go the way the PCs or even the GM thinks it will #but people pick apart 'plot holes' or inconsistent characterization #the cast is making this shit up as they go y'all! #cut them some slack and also don't assume every single little thing is significant #honestly surprised I didn't see deep and tragic analyses about the vulture dimension #rambling about my life

#i'm resisting the impulsive urge to vent proper because i don't want to go there especially this tired but #not everything is literal #not everything is serious #not everything is a joke #if you are unsure about something just ask #also #they are not our friends #they are grown men who can and do take care of themselfs and most people in the fandom understand that #so we can clown around over stupid shit while also not forgetting that #the two things can and do coexsist #but also let's not forget that they are simply human and can be tired or make a conscious decision to do or not do something #without any big conspiracy in the background #there is a line too far just as with everything #sometimes it isn't a bad idea to stop and look which side of it we are on #and i am myself are prone to at least dance on it so i'm not here to be smart i'm mostly just ckecking on myself #but some peeps also could use a moment to objectively see stuff #sorry this is fairly vague and half of it doesn't make sense #that's why it's in the tags #and almost certainly gonna get deleted in a few hours #i just needed to think #g'night y'all #see ya tomorrow #hopefully

as a lesbian sometimes i wish i followed more lesbians so my dash wasn't SO full of old men disproportionally but i kinda prefer this to the time in 2017 where all i saw for days was a gif of katie mcgrath beckoning at the camera with 2 fingers because people wouldn't stop imagining what that would feel like inside of them

#txt #maybe i just dont pay attention to what ppl r saying about male actors on my dash because... i don't care... #but that kind of thing abt actresses + the way ppl on twitter talk about the y*llowjackets cast.... #i'd kinda rather not see half of that in all honesty #anyone can be weird about actors #and at least on tumblr they're probs not gonna see it #but it does feel like at least in some of my fandoms the sapphics get VERY weird in particular #(which i say As A Lesbian pwease don't say i'm perpetuating predatory tropes or w/e) #so i'm chill with my dash being the way it is rn #even if it's less about the sapphics being weird and more about me just not caring enough to notice other ppl doing the same w men #fj;aklsdjf ALSO IN ALL HONESTY #I do not care about most of the actresses lesbians my age seem to give a shit about so it's a shot in the dark anyway #and unfortunately some of the lesbians out there being REALLY WEIRD about real people in their 20's #also can't stomach the fact that sometimes older women r hot and it is tiring to have to deal with that discourse time n time again #next time i get called gross i'll just fuck their mom i guess

oh and while i'm still on my rewatching bullshit

in season 2 episode 8 when they realise that the mind flayer spies through Will and Mike tells them that they need to put him to sleep

Will starts yelling and screaming that he's lying and to let him go

you can see Mike putting his hands over his ears so he doesn't have to hear Will screaming

my heart broke when i noticed

#i'm actually thinking #about gatekeeping mike from this fandom #most of yall act like he's the villain #mike wheeler is now only for the poeple #who understand that he's just a human being #and a teenager with trauma #i'm actually getting tired of seeing people in any fandom #acting like side characters can't have trauma cause the THINGS didn't happen to them personally #sometimes they can have trauma from watching their loved ones suffer #like this boy was 12/13 when his best friend went missing #was presumed dead and had a funeral #while he was trying to find him #and made a new friend that he ended up losing too after just getting his best friend back #then he had to watch his best friend being possesed and hurting again #they all were just children #cut him some slack will you my boy is not ok #i am forever a mike wheeler defender thank you #byler #also i know that this probably isn't anything new but i'm slow so let me be #blue's 'Mike's extreme defender' ramblings

I'm glad Orym brought up the fact his home was attacked because Imogen was very insisting in "maybe they have a point" in the last episode. Like, I understand where she is coming from; she is discovering many dark secrets about her powers and her mom is involved in whatever Ludinus and Otohan are trying to achieve, and is trying VERY hard to seperate herself of what is clearly very evil, "i'm not evil I swear!" Kind of way but... in a wrong way. Trying to paint it as "maybe its not that bad after all?" When, um girl you just watch Ludinus wipe someone's mind out without remorse. And after Orym spoke, Imogen kept looking at him guiltly. Hopefully that would make her open her eyes and communicate what truly worries her.

honestly I'm more concerned about launda maybe trying to argue "but to that, orym, we're probably going to kill many more people ourselves in this process, though. ...so in a way, we are also about to be arbiters, deciding who lives or dies." and her saying that to orym – someone who has been consistently clear about not wanting to kill or even hurt people from the moment they all met – is particularly frustrating. I definitely think marisha is playing both laudna's naïveté and specifically painful perspective on death and life, and that's not at all what worries me (marisha is an excellent player and laudna has every right to have complicated feelings about the perception that people might be deciding who lives and who dies) – it's the fact that so many in this fandom will hear that and think "violence isn't the answer." or "enacting violence against those who are violent makes you exactly as bad."

I don't... like, I'm fucking tired. I can't keep reiterating that the intentionally careless and inherently selfish violence of "I will kill whatever and whoever gets in my way without consideration or hesitation as I seek as much power as I can gain in retribution for my real or more likely imagined slights because life didn't hand me everything I ever wanted simply because I feel convinced and inconvenienced" is a different and unforgivably distinct violence from "we are seeking to right wrongs, we are setting out to protect people who are still alive – people we care about as well as people we've never and will never know or meet – we are willing to sacrifice ourselves over and over if it means keeping dangerous materials out of the hands of aeons-old genocidal maniacs with delusions of grandeur, and because we are embarking on a difficult journey there will likely be irreversible consequences, but they will affect us, and death will go through us all like a physical blow, and the violence we enact in order to save others will not be without cost"

maybe we should have less discourse and arguments about danganronpa ships, kokichi, nagito, (& chihiro and tenko to an extent) and be a littleeee more focused on danganronpa's racism issues, insensitive portrayals of darker-skinned characters, and be focused on altering traits & adding more depth to angie's character in fanon

#danganronpa #danganronpa 2 #danganronpa 3 #danganronpa v3 #drv3 #sdr2 #angie yonaga #don't get me wrong. i agree we can focus on multiple things but #it's a problem when the fighting about kokichi & nagito & etc. causes unnecessary arguments and accusations #it's also very much a problem when a couple of discourses (which may i add sometimes have very unnecessary arguments) overshadows #other problems. esp when the problems feel necessary to speak about despite them being constantly dismissed #also to clarify. i'm not talking about ''let's not argue if chihiro's story has offensive tropes and #if tenko's character is an offensive trope that targets wlw (but mostly lesbianz)'' #i'm SPECIFICALLY talking about: arguments about chihiro's gender headcanons and tenko's sexuality headcanons #this is the same with kokichi and nagito- the arguments if they're canonly gay is TIRING. #may i also add that i feel like there should be more nuance and less “okay pls die you're a bigot” when it comes to discourses??? #hmmmm you didn't hear it from me but. maybe we should talk about the danganronpa fandom's biphobia problem 👀 #yeah so i think we all get the hint that sometimes the danganronpa fandom (& the game) makes me uncomfy. esp as a bi poc person #sunny's thoughts #dr thoughts

I think if all ppl can say about allura is that she's an obstacle to kl or that she's dead to be kl angst or that ppl shipping her w Lance suck then maybe just don't talk about her ever LMAO

#ppl will truly be like 'Lance is bi 😊 but yuck allurance is het trash' bi means liking more than just ur same gender fuck u lol #i love kl but i can't fuck w the fans too much at large bc they love to talk about k and l screwing on alluras grave if they remember her #just say ur hateful and go dont bring allura into this didn't the show treat her bad enough FUCK #at least l fans there's a 50/50 chance they recall dead dead out of the way of Keith allura with some kindness #but k fans it's a 75% chance they hate her and go out of their way to talk about how awful she is and gotta say i don't trust like that #u can dislike any character for whatever reasons but the optics on this are bad and the specific things they say are red flags fr #so many ppl say Lance is bi bc it's a popular fanon to explain he's a flirt w girls but we actually want him to be gay #instead of actually saying it bc they think he's bi... the whole fandom was/is specifically v biphobic #i hc everyone as bi and that means sometimes it's a mf ship but it's still queer like come on #anyway this is for no one I'm just idek bye #text posts #might just delete this I'm so tired 😫 #not even to touch on specifically the misogynior of it all #it's 2024 and I'm still seeing fresh takes that are the exact same shitty takes from years ago
