[dennisboobs]

plain and simple i am not going to be able to remain in this fandom long-term if i have to keep putting disclaimers on every single one of my posts that say i don't condone dennis' bad, bad actions and that i am in fact aware he's got a history of sexual assault and dubious/nonconsent. the entire gang has done heinous shit. why is dennis the only one who needs to be treated like this? if some rando wants to post about how dennis is pookie pie that doesn't automatically mean they're blind to his crimes. every single member of the gang is a piece of shit. that's kind of the point.

draw dennis with cat ears who give a shit

#ada speaks #i'm not vagueing this is a constant thing ive experienced #i still have angry anons sitting in my askbox mad that i didn't explicitly condemn him last time i got into this #i'm really not a fan of the tension in the fandom the last few days #and like. i know its a hot button issue rn. everyone's going back and forth abt mac and dennis' SA #but this fandom genuinely does have an issue SPECIFICALLY MENTIONING things mac does to dennis and uwu-ifying them #when they are explicitly classified as SA in canon (which is an actual present issue i think needs to be addressed) #rather than like. just the mere MENTION of dennis outside of his SA is somehow condoning his actions #im sorry but i really do not feel the need to constantly talk about him assaulting women #everyone knows. everyone sees it. just bc i am dissecting other parts of his character does not mean i forgot he's a horrible person #it just means im trying to understand where he's coming from (which obviously does not change the facts.) #viewing dennis as a person with unresolved trauma stemming from elsewhere doesn't negate the damage he is doing to other people #he's not a real person where humanizing him does tangible damage #so i am going to continue to look into shit. when i talk about the CSA he went through it's not a justification. #but it does explain his actions in a character motivation type way which is what i am interested in #seeing what makes him tick #i think most people who follow me understand this by now. but i also don't think shit we see him do constantly in canon needs bringing up. #it's the subtle stuff that ties everything together and i want to put it all together to solve a puzzle

ik it's not good to latch onto a mental illness as your defining trait but also. babe i don't have much else going on or any other sense of identity beyond it

#''you don't want to heal from depression bc you don't know who you are without it'' yeah no shit. if there's no depression there's no me #also i got the no sense of identity disorder!!!! so!!!! said disorder is just my only identity ig!!!!!! #ik this is why ppl look for labels and i am no different but all my labels hinge on being vague so like . not very helpful #others i know latch onto their nationality/religion/heritage etc. but i definitely don't feel pride in any of those #dare i even say i feel disgust. i am more defined by my disdain for being jewish than my actual judaism #ppl say to let what you love define you. but. i don't love. i mean i love my cat but i don't think that can define me #also maybe I'm just autistic but i don't really get how one can even be defined by what they love 🤔 #and this whole thing is so weird. bc in so many people's head there is this very firm image #and people tell me i seem confident and like i know how i am and that I'm being myself in an honest way #girl i don't even know what myself is!!!! i am more defined by my lack of definition than anything 😭😭😭 #or my worse traits like stubbornness and hypocrisy and obsession #wouldja look at that we just circled back to my bpd. see what I'm saying? #vent #ask to tag #sorry for all the vents today 🫡 i am at my worst actually and i fear i may lose it at any moment ✨️

anyway, i think my hot take regarding the whole canon vs fanon thing for the dpxdc fandom is that fanon is fine but it also gets boring. there's a reason why 90% of the dpxdc creative content feels exactly the same. i'm not trying to like,, shit on anyone's work, but so many of these fics are very, very similar in plot and dynamics. and that's a product of the fact that most of the fandom doesn't actually know anything about dc.

if you're relying solely on fandom osmosis to learn about the characters and events, then you end up missing out on a lot. it's not Bad, but it's basically the footnotes. the sparknotes. the starred review compared to the actual book. you aren't getting a lot, is what i'm saying. and that's why so much of the content feels exactly the same! it's because everyone is getting their info from the same decade old jokes. so creative work ends up blending into each other because the creators don't actually have anything else to work with (because they don't Know anything else) so they rely on the same five fanon jokes and headcanons that they do know.

as a dc fan, i Do encourage dpxdc fans to look into dc and read the comics and be more active on the dc side of things, not because fanon is inherently Bad, but because it opens up so many more avenues for creativity. i'd love to see people talk about danny fighting evil vampire nightwing or going on missions with karen or having fun with kara. but most dp fans don't even know characters outside of the most popular 10 and know even less about any of the plots or universes. so like, it's not exactly a surprise that every fic sounds the same. and like. does that not get boring to you guys?

#i'm sorry ik some of this sounds mean but its true aldghk #its not a bad thing but it is a noticeable thing #and im sure there are plenty of dp fans who are still having fun and dont mind this #but im sure there are also some dp fans who'd also like some variety #and that variety could be there! if you guys knew more about dc #there are so many characters! so many universes! so much you can do! #stop fighting about canon vs fanon and have fun with how much dc content there is!! #you don't have to read Everything but it definitely helps to read Some things #you'll get more ideas! more aus! more headcanons! more over the top jokes! #dc has SO much content for you to explore!!! why wouldnt you want to take advantage of that? #like you'll literally never run out of content to explore because there's just So much and they keep making more of it #even old forgotten characters get brought back every now and then #like! have fun with the canon that's there! and you'll be able to have more fun with your fanon!!! #dcxdp #im sorry but i really dont think ill ever be able to understand Why dp fans dont want to engage with canon dc content #its weird to me it truly is and i dont think anyone will change my mind honestly #ive seen all the replies and vague posts about it but it usually just amounts to #'we dont care about canon and we just want to have fun' which like. yeah. sure. but like.. #are you saying you would have Less fun if you knew more about dc? #like.. #if you genuinely like these characters then you would like their runs?? 😭 huh ??? #it doesnt make sense to me! i dont get it! if you like them why would you have less fun reading about them!! #what!! #anyway yeah my hot take is that you should engage with the source material because it actually makes things More fun #why have dp fans convinced themselves that theyll hate dc canon i dont get it #its like reverse stockholm syndrome

why the fuck is it that some people cant seem to acknowledge that people can just... be disabled. not through any fault of their own, not because something "happened" to them, just because, you know, sometimes people have disabilities. like, come on

#.pdf #rd #kd #just a warning these tags are long. like. really incredibly long. i had thoughts. #sorry for the vague ass post i'm just upset about some stupid shit my dad said yesterday. #namely: outright telling me that he doesn't believe i have non-24 (circadian rhythm disorder). #and that even if i do he doesn't believe it's possible for it to actually be a lifelong and disabling condition. #*also: this post isn't meant to imply that disabilities that did have some inciting incident are more accepted or anything. #it's just that i'm frustrated with the “you're disabled? why? what happened?” sentiment a lot of people seem to have. #nothing happened to cause my disability. i'm just like this. no i can't change it. what the fuck do you want me to tell you? #i'd guess it probably has to do with society's focus on work and productivity and career-mindedness above all else. #and when someone comes along that doesn't fit in with the way things are structured it just doesn't compute. #because the idea of people who can't dedicate their entire lives to working is so fundamentally contradictory to their view of... i don't- #-know. meaning in life? fulfillment? that they feel a need to reject the possibility altogether. #this is mainly when dealing with invisible disabilities from what i've seen. because i think there's a tendency to view visibly disabled- #-people as belonging to a different category altogether. which of course is its own issue but i'm not visibly disabled so i don't feel- #-like it's necessarily my place to speak on that. #anyway. i just want my struggles to be acknowledged as real. because they are. and i need people to understand that I Have A Disability. #albeit one many people don't even believe could be real because there's a sort of belief that circadian rhythms are purely a product of- #-external forces like sunlight so “you can't possibly have yours be different and have you tried just going outside more?” sigh. #sorry i also just remembered my dad telling me he doesn't believe i can have something so rare because the chances of having it are too low. #which is some ridiculous logic to me. rare doesn't mean it's impossible. some amount of people have to wind up with it regardless. #i just lucked out i guess. #n24 tag

To be honest the dialogue in twd is absolute ass sometimes but the actors deliver their lines with so much conviction that it kinda slips by. You yell that convoluted sentence with your whole cunt, girl.

#this post was sitting in my drafts for months but a line from Fear made me remember it again #''I will do what you tried to do to me only I won't miss'' #translation: I will succeed where you failed but I won't fail #yeah bitch the floor here is made of floor #also for context nobody ''missed''. The thing he tried to do was shove him into a room full of walkers #and he did. successfully #he just somehow didn't fucking die or get a single scratch on him #this show is getting way more entertaining as it goes along but it's still stupid #also thinking bout ''we are the walking dead'' ''no we aint'' ''no you're right we aint'' #thanks for shitting on Rick's metaphor dude. that was almost poignant. #and ''we got one enemy. we aint the walking dead'' ok slay I guess those two statements were related. vaguely. I think. #sorry kinda roasting Daryl specifically here. He's not the worst offender these are the only lines I can think of off the top of my head rn #also a LOT of the dialogue is interchangable between characters. #Daryl's ''Jimmy'' story in his spinoff was just a Negan monologue. hell Rick could even have told it. #they would have said it differently but again that's down to the actors. #all of this is light hearted ofc #I mean all that really matter is I'm Having A Good Time #twd #ftwd

@fallenangelontheceiling not responding on the post because I don't agree and I don't want to be annoying in OP's notes.

I do agree that Jamie isn't really an "angry person" (although to be frank, I don't think anyone is an "angry person" anymore than a person is, say, a "problem child"). I don't think he has much of a natural temper, sure. And he had a little less reason to be mad at Nate because he wasn't around to bond with him when he first started coaching. I also think at the time Nate was coaching for Richmond, Jamie was kind of full-up on emotional goings-on and he didn't really have the space to connect with anyone who wasn't already important to him or that specifically sought him out. And at the same time Nate was certainly not seeking anyone out, because he was struggling over his feelings of inadequacy and abandonment. So there's that, those are some reasons I guess I could agree Jamie might not have been as upset at Nate as everyone else.

So I don't think he's "struggling to maintain" his anger at Nate, I think he might have slightly less of it due simply to the fact that he and Nate were never that close. Also the fact that he looked away... I mean, maybe he was just looking where he was going lol. I don't think that's the right way to describe this, because I don't think he would try to make himself feel something he doesn't. He's as angry as he is, no more no less. He's already said before he doesn't do what everyone else does, he does what Jamie Tartt does.

I wasn't aware as per your note that we don't see him getting freaky on the pitch because he's sitting out, so like OP I also thought he was behaving while even Sam wasn't. But I attributed that more to the fact that Jamie is autistic very focused on whatever he's previously decided he's going to do, and yes clearly the team did not discuss that they were going to go fucking haywire and he didn't get The Signal so he just... didn't get that aggressive because it was previously established he's only aggressive (on the pitch) under very particular circumstances.

What I really disagree with is like. I think a lot of people really strip Jamie's character (and Roy's for that matter) of any traits that are threatening or unpleasant. But he meant the things he said and did in season one, or at least did and said them with intent. That post talks about how he's only mean and pushes people because he's scared of the other shoe, which in some cases I would agree is probably true, but I would say only specifically with authority figures. Or maybe even more specifically with unfamiliar male authority figures (like Ted). Sometimes he's mean and pushes people because he's mean and pushy. Not everything he ever does that people don't like is due to his Tragic BackstoryTM. He's not just a prick because he's "scared and his father conditioned him". He's also a prick because he's a prick.

(There are other posts by other users that do this much worse than this post could even dream of, which I actually kind of Take Issue with because I find it quite a patronizing way of thinking about victims. We actually do have, like. Personalities. in addition - and sometimes even totally unrelated! - to the Backstory. Jamie was not created in his trauma's image.)

I also don't think he's quite emotionally aware enough to recognize similarities between him and Nate's situations at this stage, and I don't think he'd be very likely to think through that the players don't deserve to be punished for their coach's behavior without being prompted at least a little bit. He's been to therapy; he isn't a therapist. He didn't go apeshit on West Ham because he wasn't told he should (or could), and that's all. In my professional opinion.

#jack facts #jack chats #anyway sorry this is a bit salty! but i knew it would probably be so - hence making it a separate post #i do vague sir but i do not vague at you sir #not that this is vague considering the post is linked but like. you know what i mean. i'm not intending to Start Shit or do a Call Out etc. #ted lasso #jamie tartt #hc #abuse

why can't people be normal about clark & kon like no. clark doesn't hate kon. and no, kon didn't trademark (nor try to trademark) "superman" when clark was dead, at this point he was a 15yo (or 0yo) legal non entity. he didn't have any say in whatever happened to him or how he was marketed (because this is what it was.) it was rex who got the trademark.

kon not having any control over his life and image is a central theme of his storyline, just as his admiration for superman is. there was no real conflict between them whatsoever, only like 1 panel in which clark talks of his "little media stunt" and kon gets upset and yells at him, saying that he never asked to be put in this costume. and then clark talks to kon's manager, who is the one actually owning legal rights and can make decisions regarding it. because again. kon is a child. and clark is not beefing with a test tube baby.

#i'm sorry for vague posting but lol. #i know that people don't read these comics which means that 90% of dc comics tumblr population will believe it by tmr #kon el #superboy #kon #dc comics

If it helps matters any re: tags I've seen people trying to use "Castlevania games" to post game only content, but it updates sporadically so I dunno if it took. Tbh I haven't seen any real centralized new tags yet u_u

I've only recently used "akumajou dracula" (which I'm surprised I hadn't done so earlier since I usually include JP titles with other series I draw), but overall it's troublesome that the main tag has been taken over like this. I may start to use the former exclusively.

People still search character tags so that's another thing to deal with. I'm so very sorry for fans of the ruffly headband-wearing one.

#I mean... for any of you I'm sorry. but with those two I believe their designs are similar enough for people to group it all together. #I'm also now just fearing the influx of eyes to another boy and his friends I'm just Hmmmmm :) #leave them alone :)))) #nevertheless I do appreciate your input #if I have to be super vague now then so be it I can be good at that #Asks #Ask Mew #nyxokal

you can talk about the ethics and stuff all day long but at the end of the day getting mad about language change is just unproductive. you can't put that word back where it came from. we are all being swept along in the tide whether you like it or not. might as well direct that energy somewhere more fruitful

#like yeah let's be respectful #but idk the whole ''oh such and such word originally came from this so its badwrongevil to use it'' #ok well that's not what people mean when they are saying it now #and I'm sorry but you aren't going to be able to get rid of it #even if you have grounds! even if it's annoying or makes specific subjects more difficult to discuss #even if you're right about the history! even if it makes you mad! #like it's fine to express frustration I guess but maybe reevaluate your goals here #(just to be safe this sentiment is expressed generally and I'm not vagueing any particular post or blogger on this site)

Thank you for the SCRUMPTIOUS Poco Edgar comic meal- May I ask if we know who pulled the trigger? Is it someone we're familiar with, or just an unnamed gang for the au? Also, how did Poco and Edgar get together in the AU as well? Was it before or after Edgar joined the goldarm gang?

I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

The person who pulled the trigger is Gunslinger Colt, who is considered an entirely different person from Classic Colt.

(I can't take credit for Villain!Gunslinger though, that honor goes to @starrysupercell, who originally had him as a villain in her stories. Now we kinda use Gunslinger as a stock villain in our aus.)

In this AU, dubbed Musical Strains, Poco is an undead with the rare power to heal people. Gunslinger had him holed up in a house on a hill in a small town, keeping him locked up in it to sell Poco's powers to desperate people. Sick of being trapped, Poco runs away one night, and joins the Goldarm Gang to get a safe trip to the other side of the desert.

Belle, intrigued by this mysterious little desperado on her doorstep, lets him join, and the rest is all gang shenanigans as Poco learns what a real found family is like.

Edgar is already a member of the Goldarm Gang, and Belle assigns Poco to his tent because the two of them are dubbed the youngest members of the group. At first, things are a bit icy between them, with Poco a bit scared of Edgar and Edgar a bit suspicious of Poco. But close proximity makes them interact with each other, regardless of how they feel, and gradually, they warm up to each other.

One things lead to another, and now they hold hands :)

Now, if only Argent would stop trying to come after the Gang to get his moneymaker back...

#ask #brawl stars #brawl stars poco #brawl stars edgar #musical strains #sorry for the vagueness #i'm trying to figure out whether or not i want to do something with this #so i'm keeping some details close to the chest :) #doesn't mean i won't answer questions though!

Is there any outfit you like Atreus to be drawn in and or how you mostly imagine him in your fics, what clothes and what attire?

Not the question you asked but I think I do actually like his canon start clothing the best. While the metal armor is practical and elegant in its own way, I like softer vibes. The gentle colors on him and how the fabrics look worn and loved and stitched over and over are so nice. As for what I like seeing Atreus drawn in? I don't know. Maybe nothing 😂 Maybe seeing him in his canon-type clothing more often would be cool- but then I think of all the cute ideas we keep seeing like Modern AU stuff like fun, colorful sweaters and shorts. Even if I don't particularly lean towards Modern AU stuff, it's always nice to see the variety. Or loose fabrics that he's been draped in are so nice and it's fun to see his freckles 🤭

Depends on the fics. Mischief and Foresight has him in his canon gear for the most part. A Hint of Magic is very much up to the imagination because of the vague descriptions given, though his newer outfits do come from the cloths Heimdall gives him. Any fics that take place in the canon universe I picture him in canon gear. In Your Toy, the Modern AU, I imagine colorful big sweaters in the cooler weather to show off his fun and more childish side, and regular jean-like shorts(blue or green) and still colorful baggy shirts slightly tucked in to whatever shorts or pants he's wearing. And maybe stuff he'd borrow from friends or Heimdall to play with.

#Big question here and I probably could go into depth on some fics but it'd be just me going over how I think his canon gear can look #Like in Mischief and Foresight #Atreus is in canon gear yeah but then they're there in the Snow Glode thing for a very long time! and he's then pregnant and eventually #it is showing so that would mean he can't wear his typical gear and tends to stick to being comfortable and can wear less even if it's #considered indecent because he's literally with the person that got him pregnant so decency isn't that important #So he might eventually wear a spare shirt Heimdall has if Atreus outgrows his usual stuff to get by #just a plain tunic and no armor since he can't wear it anyways and maybe blankets on top to keep warm #But it also just depends on reader imagination since I doubt fully describing an outfit is what everyone wanted when compared to plot #The fic with the most reader interpretation on Atreus's clothes has got to be A Hint of Magic because I don't think I describe anything #I leave everyone fend for themselves and think! And picture little cute Fairy Atreus in fabrics or nature stuff #Sometimes he did have pants in my mind though #like green and vaguely leaf-like #Though most times he's just wearing stuff Heimdall gave after Heimdall gives him stuff #Fabrics that he my have stitched into something new and stylish with Angrboda or maybe he just wraps it around himself #very much up to the reader #I could probably even point out what fanarts I may have vaguely pictured for some fics #Sorry this this BRICK #I'm all sleepy so I hope I make sense! #heimtreus #sunny's answers

If you're watching something, or reading something, and there is recurring mentions to/depictions of the Fibonacci sequence, what would that mean to you? Or what could it mean?

I know having context would probably help, but if it's possible I just wanna know what people think of when they see it in a story/fiction.

how to explain that I feel paranoid that a longtime mutual unfollowed and may have vagued about me but I can't know for sure, without coming across as though I have Le Victim Complex, because there is a history of mutuals doing that

also how to explain that I've been feeling worthless recently, and trying to grapple with the fact that people seem to think every post I make is me trying to start shit when I'm not

also how to explain that even though I don't want to be angry, I've been suffering some pretty bad mood swings lately and inclined to isolate because of it

#I mean. I never wanted to mince words before but I'm starting to think maybe I should try #or just post less I suppose. that might improve the mood in the space #idk #I feel kinda bad for not wishing people happy holidays but I honestly wasn't up for it #due to an entire night of throwing up so bad I wanted to die #and... mom stuff #and just... all this mental health fuckery #if the mutual is vagueing about me then I'm sorry #I probably do need therapy but I can't afford it #I'm just trying to get through the day as best I can #but if I'm like. harming people with my words then I probably need to isolate so as to reduce the harm
