#idgaf what your argument is because it’s all same

sorry if you've talked about this before but i really don't like when people are like 'there's no way kaz (or the other crows) is a teenager i had to imagine them as 30yr olds' idk if its because i read the books when i was 15 myself but even now (at 23) i don't really get the argument. i'd love to hear your thoughts on it
I made like a million and one posts about this on my old account back when season 1 came out, but basically yeah. I've always seen them as teenagers, and I think the whole "Leigh only made them teens for it to fit the YA market, they're really in their 20s" is kinda bullshit. Like, so much of where the characters are emotionally is directly tied to their ages and the story and their arcs just wouldn't work the same way of they were older. People will point out ways that they're emotionally immature or inconsistent or arrogant or don't seem to know what they want/how to be in a relationship and it's like. yeah that's cuz they're teenagers. That's not a flaw in the writing that's what being a teenager is like.
It also explains their almost absurd level of "yeah, we can do that" about genuinely impossible-seeming things. That kind of "I'll fight God idgaf" energy is really characteristic of teenagers to me because you're still figuring shit out and therefore don't have a set idea of what things are or are not considered "possible", so you're way more open to big risks and wild ideas.
And I know people always point to their skill levels as what makes this unbelievable, but these are a bunch of people who have been forced to develop a specific skill set at an absurdly young age basically at the expense of anything else. Kids and young people can really master complex things at a level most adults don't have, and are in some ways more suited to it, the problem is that it's almost always at the expense of a lot of other important developmental experiences and needs. We as a society generally agree that putting kids in the position where they specialize really intensely at a young age and neglect everything else is bad, so we don't generally do that, but these are kids who were put in that position on a basically life-or-death level and managed to survive.
That's in part why I'd really like to see soc 3 at some point down the line. Not just because I want more content or whatever, but because once you leave your teens and hit your 20's you're forced to confront all the deficiencies in your childhood and how things that you thought are just in the past are very much lingering and becoming impossible to ignore. It's a really intense place to be in emotionally and it's something I think it would be really fascinating to watch the crows have to navigate, on top of the fact that a lot of them have just achieved lifelong dreams and goals and now have to figure out what they want to do next.
Anyway, that went way longer than I thought it would, so TL;DR the crows are absolutely teenagers and the story is better that way.

Here's my (probably not) hot take on anti-shipping: it represents an instinct found in pretty much all of humanity, and that is the instinct to label anything that makes you feel a negative emotion as morally reprehensible.
We really, really cannot afford to condone or encourage this instinct. I can't stress this enough.
You think my incest non-con whatever shipping is weird? It makes you uncomfortable/triggers you? Well, no fucking shit it's weird! I assure you I know it is. I don't care if you think it's weird. I don't care if you think I'm odd or weird because of it. I am, and I've known this since I was very young. Your dislike or discomfort isn't the problem.
The problem is the reaction to this discomfort. In case it wasn't clear enough: SOMETHING BEING DISGUSTING OR TRIGGERING TO YOU DOES NOT ≠ MORALLY WRONG.
I've been in online arguments with antishippers who start from one of the typical talking points ("it normalises it in real life", "it makes people think its okay", "it's triggering to survivors", "it's not a healthy way of coping"), but eventually they get to "Well, even though you're right, it's still gross/you're still a freak!"
And every time I'm like, ah. Here's the real root of the problem.
Beloveds, please. Your disgust is understandable, but PLEASE. If a ship is so revolting to you for any reason, problematic or not, PLEASE just do what you can to make sure you never come across it again. Block. Mute. Unfollow. Whatever. This isn't even for my own sake; I couldn't care less about what people I will never meet in the real world think about what I do to fictional characters in my free time. I'm an adult with a job and responsibilities and your angry words online won't stop me from doing what I like to think cartoon characters.
I'm so passionate about this subject because I live in a country where queer people are harassed, raped, and killed en-masse because it is 'disgusting' to people. I have struggled with depression for years because of this.
And before you type "I can't believe you're comparing homophobia to not liking your fucked up incest pedo ships", I need you to actually listen to me. If you can determine what is morally wrong based solely on your disgust or discomfort, what's stopping other people from doing the same? Racists, homophobes, terfs and the like? You do know how many of their 'moral' arguments stem from disgust and discomfort, right?
If you can't confidently point to tangible harm being caused by the ship, individual or art, you're better off just avoiding it. Yes, this also includes if it triggers you, unless it was specifically made to trigger you.
Off topic, but this also applies to so much more than ships. I've seen people get dog piled just for being 'unfunny'. It's why I am so staunchly against cringe culture as a concept, why I don't care what labels other members of the LGBTQ community use, why idgaf about other people's consensual kinks. People are wired differently and are often weird or strange in one way or the other. The idea that anyone who deviates from what an 'ideal person' deserves to 'punished', even if they aren't actually causing harm to another person, is soooo dangerous.

Mini-stroke update/story
So here's kinda how things went down:
It is Friday. The day before my birthday. I am excited because my birthday is on a Saturday, meaning I can do something fun. I'm also nervous because I have big girl court that afternoon, but I know how to handle myself so it was gonna be fine, and then it would be my birthday.
I get up and start my day and I just generally feel weak on one side. I can still use my left hand and leg and face more or less fine but I just don't have all the usual oomph. But I probably just slept funny or something.
But also I'm anxious. This is pretty typical for me, but this time it feels different. Like I'm having a constant panic attack that never quite fully escalates - just a lingering sense of impending doom.
I boss up and drive to work anyway. The whole time I'm trying to think about my arguments. I'm not able to focus. The road feels weird and unreal. I must be dissociating due to my abnormally high anxiety. The entire commute I can only think the words "I need to clear my head" over and over. I can't string another thought together.
I get to work. I can pass as talking normally - I'm pretty smart after all - and even managed to get through one court appearance before fully realizing this was serious. But when I get into the bathroom and look in the mirror, the corner of my smile just doesn't quite go up all the way.
Ruh roh.
Call doctor, who says rush to hospital, my dumb ass drives there, and I am immediately whisked away for a bunch of freaky tests and I'm crying but I'm trying to crack jokes to make it feel less like an actual life threatening thing hahaha but no everyone was quite clear that I was possibly having a stroke
Ativan. Thank you Ativan.
Stabbed with anticoagulants and took a plastic shotglass full of aspirin and ????
Test results come back, lights went out in part of my brain, but no one can tell why
"Maybe it's not a TIA it could just be an atypical migraine and the penumbra could be an artifact"
Nope consensus is that this was a mini stroke and I'm lucky whatever clogged my brain unclogged itself relatively quickly
Miserable 24 hours in a hospital room the size of a closet
Now I am home and I have a full grocery store bag full of pills, unclear discharge instructions, and 100 doctors appointments I have to make all while my brain still feels cloudy (not sure if stroke or Ativan but hey thanks Ativan) and I am also acutely aware that The Big One could come for me at any time (which is why they gave me Ativan icyww)
This has been an absolutely terrifying experience and I'm still processing it and also I am crying at the drop of a hat because what if it happens again? and also going through severe nicotine withdrawal at the same time because smoking is the dumbest fucking thing I could do after having a mini stroke but God do I need a cigarette after all I've been through.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: IF YOU FEEL A SENSE OF IMPENDING DOOM GO DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL, DO NOT POP IN TO HANDLE AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING REAL QUICK ON THE WAY, GO DIRECTLY TO ER.
And idgaf if you're a hypochondriac, I am one too. I was certain I would get there and be told "you're having a panic attack" but this time it was not hypochondria, something was very wrong, and I am glad I trusted my gut because otherwise this could very well have become a full-blown stroke.
TRUST YOUR GUT EVEN IF ITS OFTEN WRONG.

this is purely for self-entertainment but portal 2 au where nothing changes except wheatley is a host of a system and there's this fragment alter who's mildly annoyed in a dad/uncle kind of way with him
long post and portal 2 spoilers!
i'll name the fragment alter jack, bro has a scottish accent and cares about no one but wheatley
he's pretty easy to tell from the wheat boi (other than the thick accent), he just dead stares at chell/glados in a pissed, calm manner and goes "the feck ye lookin' at?"
jack gave himself his name the same time wheatley gave his own
he acts pretty nonchalant and gives zero shits usually, things change when wheatley just curls up into a ball and freezes and jack's like "aye, what is it, champ? what's wrong? what's wrong? it's okay, i'll deal with it, what's wrong? just tell me"
jack WILL punch glados if she pisses him off; he also cusses like a sailor, and jack is more of an "all bark no bite" guy whilst wheatley is a "no bark some SERIOUS bite" which leads to my point of jack being TERRIFIED of an angry wheatley to the point he becomes hypocritical because he knows how wheatley is when hes super upset and jack immediately goes to calm him down like "hey hey hey boy, calm down. breathe in, breathe out, that's it, no need to fist your hand like that BOY you will not like the after events of punching someone" (jack is afraid wheatley might beat someone to death through unfiltered rage power)
probably the only times jack shows sheer anxiety is when wheatley is close to snapping and jack's like "let's get ye outta here lad" and "hey sonboy i dont want ye to experience these negative emotions i jest want ye to be happy for a bit so let's go on timeout heh" (FEAR)
jack is kind of like getting wheatley out of uncomfortable situations or making the environment less harsh for him, hes gonna throw a calculated punch when you start damaging wheatley's psyche more
this au will probably end on a good note, with jack fronting in time to FIX the facility because hes not a nervous wreck, wheatley will try to follow chell into the outside world but jack's like "no ya BUFFOON she is the reas'n we got ourselves into this bullshit in the first place!"
speaking of which, jack HATES chell because shes being so damaging to wheat's psyche and calls her a moron, a monster even with raw hatred and fury, he tells her she's so selfish and she shouldn't have survived, and that wheatley should've let her die in glados's last test chamber (the one before wheatley gets her out) but he does spare her "for his(wheatley's) sake"
"Because I don't want him to just front to yer dead body, he doesn't know me. Is' a 50-50, but he doesn't know me at all. So if I kill ye and I 'ont be stayin' any longah and HE sees this shit first thing, I'm totes drivin' him mental-asylum levels of mad! BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THIS DONKEY MORE THAN HOW YOU DO IN HIS IMAGINATION! Ye DESERVE to die! That useless feckin' blob of starch should'a get chopped into fries and ye suffocate in neurotoxin, I'M SERIOUS! But I'm not going to! Because he cares about ye, and I'm NOT HEARTLESS and I ACTUALLY care about HIM so 'm not STRESSING HIM OUT UNLIKE YOU JACKASSES DO!"
chell on the other hand would be extremely confused of jack, she would probably chalk it up at first as jack being "wheatley's true nature" until jack starts referring to wheatley in third person and shes just confused all over again, probably the only robot whose words really sink into her because atp shes not dying and jack has fixed everything
the solution euphoria does not affect jack hes winning the idgaf war with the chassis (im kidding it irritates him more) (though his reaction would be violently trying to unplug himself before glados screams at him)
glados found a plenty good rivalry in jack and whenever jack fronts glados goes IMMEDIATELY to torture jack and hes like "JUST SHUT THE FECK UP!!!" (the ratio of their scores in their squabbling arguments would be 1:1 for every 1 win and lose of jack glados loses and wins once as well) (though jack is just more pissed with glados, less than in a hatred kind of way with chell but more of hes So Done with her bullshit) i think at the same time glados is the first one to realize that jack is there and this scottish voice is a different personality construct in wheatley's body and shes like "i dont recall the scientists ever making such a... i dont even know what to call him" ("I HAVE A NAME YOU DOLT!")
shes like "im going to put you under the microscope" and jack's like "no feckin' way"
now im going to put the others in a separate post because this has gotten so long lmao

vampire diaries + 25, 6, 22
What ship fans are most annoying?(6): i think this is easy, KCers. Ship whatever you want because that’s your choice(and idgaf fr.) but that fandom swears up and down they were wronged, sidelined and ignored. Klaus and Caroline do not know each other seriously and Care wouldn’t be besties with the family either. It’s built off of sidelining Tyler and the erasing Klaus’ love for witches. Julie and the writers serviced that ship as much as gave to Delena.
Favorite part of canon that everyone ignores(22): I wouldn’t say everyone ignores this certainly not Bonnie fans. But, that Bonnie did matter to her friends. It wasn’t perfect in those earliest seasons (and never was after that) but her friends considered her valuable. I say this because I’ve gotten too many comments under some old posts about how nobody liked Bonnie at all and she was witch-service to all and how crazy I am for making it up.
Common fandom complaint that you’re sick of hearing(25): hm i got a few. Comparing writing issue you disliked ex: Elena’s ending, Caroline being widowed somehow equals the same level of Bonnie’s mistreatment. Or any other character of color for that matter. Bonnie hating vampires, don’t know how she hates them when all her friends have been one, she considers Damon her bestfriend more than anybody and she dated one for 4 years lmao. People use Bonnie’s side eyes to Damon/Stefan and her being distant with Caroline or Elena after something happened to fuel that bs and that’s not the case. Bonnie found Caroline covered in murder and stepped back. Elena kept choosing her boyfriends over Bonnie (she did offer to help but..) and Bonnie stepped back. Either way Bonnie doesn’t hate vampires. That argument is so wrongly used all the time.
Choose violence ask games!

See jungkook cis man, asian men pronouns, etc and other words like this on army twitter. There are many weirdos like you who think this is ok, but thankfully black armys have been speaking up. Because they get masculinized subconsciously by others the same way asian men get emasculated or feminized by others so easily. Do better, you’re not an asian man, idgaf if you think it’s ok. That’s a real person and at the very least you can respect their pronouns. He signed up to be sexualized as an idol, he doesn’t care. No one signs up to be dehumanized or robbed of the identity they choose. He’s not an anime character, don’t gender swap or rob him.
because it’s not, not okay??? like no one is harming anyone
how do you know what jungkook’s pronouns are 😭 this goes along the same lines as assuming sexuality and invalidating people through another person. boohoo if non binary, or gender fluid or gay or lesbian people see themselves through jungkook because of how he presents himself, it’s not harming anyone
you saying he signed up to be sexualised is arguably as harmful?? he was literally a kid, he didn’t go into that wanting to be objectified by millions of people, be serious. so you saying he doesn’t care and talking on behalf of him— because i know damn well you haven’t sat down and had a conversation with him personally— is such a shitty thing come from your part and really not helping your argument whatsoever
you saying that he’s there as a sexual object is more dehumanising than me saying haha jungkook uses he/they pronouns 🧍‍♀️ be serious…
again it’s all a story, i could sit here and say that people shouldn’t write bts as they’re in the mafia, or they kill people, or they’re obsessive lovers or shitty people with shitty morals, because they’re idols. we should all write them as idols because that’s what they are, but it’s all fiction. simply a story using a person as reference, a little fun haha hobby that you’re looking into too much
no one who writes fan fiction is projecting an agenda on jungkook, or anyone in bts.
no one sits there and writes bts as women, or nonbinary, or the leader of the mafia or a psycho killer because that’s what we think he is in real life or want him to be
if it bothers you that much just don’t read the story? unfollow me? it’s not that hard 🚶‍♀️

23 and 25!! <3
lol sorry i haven't answered any of these yet i realized they're all much harder questions than i thought lmao. but hey ex-wifey, how's it going?
23. ship you've unwillingly come around to
this is an interesting one. cuz like, to be honest, i've unwillingly come around to literally all of them. the brainrot just... takes over and bam, here i am. like, i unwillingly came around to jegulus. i was against it and then just... here i am. a few others that just took over my brain and refused to leave are pandalily, jegudora, prongstail, and bartydora. i would say one that i recently came around to was regupete/wormseeker/startail/plack/plaque/black plague (full credit to black plague from @ringaroundtherosier). i'd say there haven't been any ships i was adamantly against and was forced into liking. the ships i don't like are still the ships i don't like... if anybody's curious what those are.
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
can i say all of them? i mean noot really all of them, because some are valid (peter deserves more love! and love interests!) but most of them are so old and tired and honestly. idgaf. fandom is what you make of it, what the fandom makes of it. if you really don't like other people's work that much, ignore it and make your own. nobody's forcing you to read a fic where lily is "villainized" or whatever. if you don't like it, don't read it, it's as simple as that. all the arguments are the same and it's just so tired. i will make my characters whatever i want and if you don't like the way i do that, leave me alone. bottom line, just let people be happy, man. fandom is a place to explore what interests you and makes you happy and share it, for fun. idc if you think it's weird. if you don't like it, it isn't made for you.

ok rant incoming
I think people tend to forget that there's two ways to see the sexualization in mha (or any show but im hyperfixated on mha) : by looking at the show from a character's pov, and by looking at the show from a reader's pov. understand, by ignoring the fact that this was written by some japanese man or not.
first case, this is just how things are, this is how the world is, no one wrote these characters and they're just people who make their own choices.
thinking about it like this, midnight or miruko's suits aren't worse than all the dudes wearing tight ass shit that shows their dick outline. kirishima being shirtless isnt less nakey than momo having her whole ass chest on display if she makes a wrong move. mirio is naked a stupidly high amount of time and shouto's clothes are at risk of getting burnt and falling off. dabi broadcasted his half naked ass in all of Japan and pulled up at a battle half naked, hawks is def as much of a hot playboy with horny fans as mount lady is a hot playgirl (??) with horny fans, and the latter's costume isn't tighter than like all might or twice's costume. toga is just wearing her uniform and the fact that she ends up naked everytime she uses her quirk isn't anyone's fault. etc etc.
now the other way of seeing this is the "right, horikoshi kohei wrote this, momo didn't decide her costume looks like that because momo is lines on paper and can't make decisions" way.
and then, it's weird. because horikoshi is a straight (as far as I'm aware) man who's also admittedly a pervert (like a lot of male mangakas so no one's surprised) and horikoshi definitely did not draw endeavors costume thinking of the same thing as when he drew mount lady's costume. horikoshi didn't think mmm thats hot when he made mirio's quirk get him naked but he did think that when he made it so hagakure is naked all the time (or at least he knew of the sexual innuendo, evidently given that One Hagakure Piece he made, + all the art of hagakure being in skimpy clothing or showing her panties bc heh. she's invisible. my point isn't to say it's bad, you can have whatever opinion you want on that, my point is that I never saw art of mirio where he's playfully naked for fanservice, it stopped to the one fight scene).
mainly the problem here (without thinking of horikoshi being weird because everyone knows that) is that a lot of fandom people try to defend horikoshi and the show using arguments from the first case and vice versa.
it always makes me think of that one youtuber (french lmao) who said that people saying some female character in one piece is sexualized is slut shaming her. no, it's not. if another character in one piece was insulting that sexy character because of what she wears or how she behaves, that would be slut shaming. your one piece woman was drawn by some dude in japan, she didn't choose to dress or act this way, a guy who thought it'd be hot did.
now that I've said all that idgaf what you think of horikoshi or the sexualization of characters in mha, what annoys me the most with it is how ugly or impractical the costumes end up being tbh.
tdlr : don't try to defend horikoshi by acting like his characters are sentient beings making their own choices. theyre characters. and the opposite is true as well, don't try to say someone's analysis of a character is wrong because theyre not thinking of horikoshi's intentions. sometimes we don't have to care about the author's intentions (especially when the author's intentions kinda suck)

So you’re telling me…. Their most successful ship, the most developed love story… they decided to make one half of it an antagonist in the others story as relationship drama because apparently a college athlete and journalism college intern couldn’t POSSIBLYYYY be together healthily without their dream careers conflicting..? Like the complete insult to our intelligence with some bulllshit ass last minute fight that was waaaay too premature for 18 year olds to even be dealing with anyway. Well, actually not even because ASHER’S career goals are more conflicting for Spencer than Liv’s really is. They’ve let them fight and make up. They didn’t even allow the story to go in the direction of making Asher a villain in Spencer’s story despite him literally using personal information against him to have an advantage on him. Like that’s actual natural conflict and even the clear wrongness of that situation, the audience STILL took that man’s side. But with Liv, the one person who has alwaaaaaays had his back, is now turning around angry at Spencer for being in the way of her job????? Besides 4.19, where was the build up of Liv being increasingly annoyed with Spencer about the arguments they were having. She literally told him in 4.17 she wasn’t going anywhere sooooo what’s this 2 episodes later where she is absolutely fed up and can’t do ‘it’ anymore? What even is IT. 2 days later and I honestly still don’t get her point. She completely ignored every line about not communicating and instead proceeded to be upset that he didn’t validate that she was right. Like okay, whatever stance she has is already odd and ooc anyway but they could’ve at least let her speak very clearly about what she was saying instead of speaking in haiku poems. I’m so frustrated that a character this fandom all knows WELL and loves are confused with her behavior and dialogue. At what point did the switch come where her advancement in her EARLY career was more important to her than fighting for her healthy relationship and partner who would quite literally move the world for her. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe she should sacrifice her dreams for him but their writing this like that’s basically the conflict rn. It would be more in character for her to say I don’t want you working with shady and evil people because that ultimately affects your game but no, she’s saying “I can’t miss another big opportunity to advance my career because of you”. (……..) so is this tension coming from Spencer about to fight Wade over her? Like I just am so frustrated that they really are making her completely disregard Spencer’s perspective and feelings in all of this. Some people are just like “they’ll be fine, they probably won’t actually break up” well sure, maybe, but I’m more concerned for the HEALTH of this relationship. It’s not looking good at all. It’s making her look completely selfish and all consumed without her even fighting for this man and what they’ve built their relationship to be over the last year. This is not an authentic crossroads for them, this is forced drama that ‘had to happen’ to show that they’re not perfect and what balancing ‘careers’ look like for them. Spencer seemed to have figured it out well but they have her spiraling off the rails. And again, fair if that’s just where she’s at mentally but why couldn’t the root of the spiral be from work and not tension with Spencer over work she chose to do in his career field. She’s quite literally stepping at every turn to write about topics in HIS field and getting upset that he’s in her way. Like HE’S the roadblock. Well duh hun! It’s HIS TEAM!!!!
I mean on top of all this… because of her story on Wade she inadvertently almost got her and her friends killed by the SWAT team…… and now she’s teaming up with the same sociopath that almost got them killed/arrested to take down a GROWN man with even more power than the idiot who framed all of her friends just a night ago. WHERE IS THE LINE!!! Trust me, idgaf about Garrett. He probably should get taken down and exposed but she’s SO pressed to get her name on an article that she’s willing to risk that all over again just to be right?! It’s one thing when SHE was getting slut shamed in online posts, when SHE was receiving weird calls and threats but it’s a whooooole other clusterfuck where your actions in some capacity led to MILITARY GRADE WEAPONRY being pointed at your brother, boyfriend, and friends HEADS!!! And STILL the privilege of Coop working for her mom who was the literal DA of Los Angeles County got them out of that situation. Where does NK’s social justice warrior agenda END?! Destroying my favorite character for WHAT!!! I mean and the worst part about all of this is that it will all be wrapped up in a pretty nice bow because this show doesn’t even know how to commit to the catastrophes they write.
Sorry I’m just beyond frustrated with these writers more than anything else. I’m still going to be seated come fall lmao but wow! All of this roundabout nonsense just to avoid cliches. We could be joking it up about baby Crenshawn after the cliffhanger revealed a pregnancy scare arc for Spelivia but no, I’m fighting for my life trying to make sense of nonsensical ass plot lines. Why is the logic for cliffhangers to do something that will piss us OFF and not make us feel excited, intrigued, and on the edge of our seats. I’m not on the edge of my seat to find out whether my favorite ship will break up or not because I’ve already seen some of the damage done and I have little faith that the writing will redeem it in a way that does both of them justice.

ok ok im not fond of the twincest nor incest for that matter, but i like thinking we can all be in our side without bothering, there are very talented people in the blnkshipping tag and viceversa, but why do some have to go out of their way to harrass the others?? i dont mean to stir things up, just an observation, both sides, have people go out of their way and it is exhausting, the only reason im here is because these muppet men mean too much for me im willing to give it a try, their happiness means so much more to me than this pointless argument that really cant be seen in black and white (no pun intended, unless) to me they are fictional and i would never in my life feel the same way to my irl family members, but i like seeing the twins happy even when intimate and romantic. sorry for coming to your askbox like it is a... how do you call that catholic thing?? confessionarie??? Just... point me in the right direction for the soft happy guys who fuck each other senseless idgaf anymore
The problem the antis have is that they turn this into a moral issue when actually it's just a bunch of people expressing their sexuality in ways that has nothing to do with incest in most cases. You have an emotional attachment to the twins. That makes you the type of person who wants to have an emotional attachment to people, and you decided at this moment to focus on them.
Also, a lot of people are really into their close relationship with each other, -their 'twin connection'- and they were heartbroken when Ingo was separated from Emmet by falling into the rift. Blankshippers feel that way too, but the only thing separating them from the rest of the submas fandom is that they -we- think that it's hot to have Ingo and Emmet enjoying a physical relationship. If you aren't into it, then don't be. Why couldn't someone head canon them having a close platonic twin connection with all the benefits of an old married couple who doesn't bother with doing the deed anymore? That would be enough for me if blankshipping didn't exist.
The blankshipping tag is thriving at the moment and full of people expressing non-incest type fantasies as they explore or express their sexualities. Off the top of my head...there has been romantic intimacy, spanking, stalkerish yandere fantasy, amputation, hurt and comfort, forbidden love, public display of affection, m-preg, comforting a trauma survivor... Any ship could experience all those, not just the train twins. I saw the same thing in the ralts line fandom where irl people were fixated on being either a gallade or a human who had romantic involvement with a gardevoir. Some would have very human kinks, and others would try to imagine what it would be like (zeno? kin?) to be intimate in a way unique to their own kind. IE: Chest piece or ear rubbing.

hot take from Scarlett here. Feel free to disagree - doesn't mean we have beef or anything (unless you make this difference of opinion out to be beef) and I'll never go directly to those posts and be a bitch about it unless someone crosses over a line
But I keep seeing parallel (in my view) discourse and it pisses me off
Trans femmes and trans mascs constantly at each others throats, and able bodied disabled people and physically disabled people do the same shit.
Do we annoy each other sometimes? Yeah. Fuck yeah (and shout out to intersex people who really get it hard from perisex trans people) - anyone who says dumb shit like "I wish I was physically disabled so people cared" deserves to get clowned on and people who argue JK Rowling only targets trans femmes when she targets trans mascs in a different, also horrible way also deserve to get clowned on. And we all deserve boundaries and shit
But like just keep in mind... I have more solidarity with a trans masculine person as a trans femme (kinda, our body is trans femme at least.. Maybe im trans femme adjacent) than I do with cis people. I have more solidarity with physically disabled people than I do with abled-bodied neurotypicals.
Im just gonna say. Venting is fine. Banners are cute (like the "abled-bodied people don't interact", I respect that!) But if you put some effort into finding your commonalities, educating over the ignorance (which believe me is fucking there, in many ways from both directions though intensity or equity of issues is an argument) my gut instinct is that you will find a closer ally than you think.
You can do what you want. Tone policing isn't my style so sorry if you take it that way. Just trying to give advice that isn't "touch grass". Again, boundaries are good.
But otherizing people with a similar, but different experience than you can lead to bad places - for you; idgaf if you don't extend a hand to someone who is ignorant for their sake, but because I think you also will benefit from overlooking and educating over some microaggressions.
Just my 2 cents

October 🕷 2022 Monthly - Cancer
Whole of your energy: 5 Wands
555 and 333 both appear in your reading as multiple people & conflict. This seems to be for a creepin’ Cancer, which could be switched, but based on the conflict, Ace of Cups, Knight of Cups, and Queen of Cups (Cancer’s card), it really seems to be leaning towards you as the one with options here. A new love opportunity and some level of romantic action is causing conflicts and arguments. It could show that you’re simply conflicted within yourself, because whoever your main person is - is unaware and you’re keeping things to yourself while you decide on which option you’re going to take. Knight of Cups is action, so something has actually happened, and 3 Swords existing shows you know the hurt it’s going to cause.
What’s going on in October:
3 Pentacles:
3 clarified by 3, you’re dating two people at the same time, and loving every minute of it with 9 Cups. This can be indulging, pleasuring yourself with drinking, excess, celebratory energy. Partying a lot, going to the club, things like that. That could be what you’re telling your person when you’re out doing these shenanigans, or it could be where some action has taken place. Ace of Cups is brand new energy and is followed by the Knight, it could have been a spontaneous thing that happened quickly, or because you were drinking. I don’t think you have any intention of speaking up.
2 Swords rev:
The decision you have made is to let this new person go, you’ve made your mind up because you know you have to make a decision and you don’t want to be cruel to the person you’re with. You may let this other person down in a cruel way, or it’s seen that way by them. It’s also possible you’re just ending the first connection, it’s over, done, period, and not being honest as to why, which feels cruel to this person that assumed everything was okay. It’s also possible this was done to you.
9 Pentacles:
Whoever ended something, whoever had a 3rd party involved, was clearly acting out of selfishness and self interest, and probably still is. If you, you’re good on your own, you’re financially stable, you could have just opened yourself up to being single again. You don’t have to worry about anyone’s judgement or heartbreak over what you want to do, you’re over it. You could be extremely cold to the person that is hurt, it brings up very negative feelings in you, and you don’t seem to care. You probably weren’t that romantically invested in this person in the first place to end things so casually, it seems more like their heartbreak gets on your nerves.
3 Swords:
Heartbreak, plain and simple, probably someone else’s. It’s clarified by 4 Pentacles which seems to be you, completely closed off, resistant to their feelings about the situation, narrow-minded and holding on to what you’ve got, which is your own stability and situation. Like idgaf about you, I’m good, go away. This is what your person is so deeply hurt over, because they probably don’t know about the 3rd person, and you’re not going to say so and look even worse than you already do.
The Moon:
Lying, hiding information, keeping them in the dark, that’s the plan. Justice shows you just giving the relationship a clean break and not speaking on the hows and whys you’ve decided to do this, leaving the other person extremely confused, and probably emotional. Your main focus per the head of the reading is the new start you’re having with this new person, so they’re very much involved and you’re shedding this old skin like it’s yesterday’s news. See ya ✌️ Your following cards show that the only place to go from here is forward, into a new beginning elsewhere.
Signs you may be dealing with:
Cancer, Libra, Pisces & Capricorn
Oracles: ✨
26 Duality 🎭
Black and white, good and evil, yes and no, up and down, want and don’t want. These are all examples of dualistic thinking. What if you banned these labels from your thoughts for a day? What would happen? Would the world end? Doubtful. Would some person “get away” with something? No. Would you attach less emotion to a “bad” situation or drama? Possibly. If that happened and there was less attachment to a situation, you could keep your vibrations higher, which would enable you to deal more successfully with any situation that comes your way. Given enough time - most “bad” situations work out in the end. It is your choice to be drama free, or spend a lot of time and energy wasted on a situation that will turn out okay in the end. What do you choose?
We enter into October as:
Dancin’ Daisy 🌻
“Let’s just jump and see what happens.” - Joe vs. the Volcano
Dancin’ Daisy represents a new phase in life, the acceleration of all the events that happen. Daisy says “Come to me and jump beyond what you believe, into a new possibility.” It tells you take action where you may not have previously. Daisy is the life energy, she is connected to enthusiasm. Dancin’ Daisy is physical expansion and embodies in physical form the example we all seem. She represents a joyous time for you, a move, a job, or another significant change, such as a marriage. This also signifies taking a risk that will work with faith and trust. This is the moment after the leap, when you cannot see where you will land. The Daisy is reassurance that you will land on your feet, so keep the faith.
Daisy also represents radiant health. Spirit can only manifest through us if we honor the physical body we inhabit. This may mean that you need to adopt a good physical fitness regiment. Your will to heal yourself is great. If a man is attracted to this fable the indication is strong that he is pulling a new partner into his life. This is also an indication for him to look to a woman for his next brilliant idea. If a woman is drawn to this fable, she is the radiant being that is attracting all that she needs.
What is to be learned in October: Two came out for you this month.
Sky Blue 💎
“You’ll see it when you believe it.” - Wayne Dyer
Seeking wise council is vital when you are pushing into new territory that may be overwhelming. Choose wisely though; if you choose someone too critical of your dreams, it could be a hinderance. When we are close to the proper decision, often we teeter on the brink and simply give up for fear of being embarrassed. Do not use another person’s negativity as an excuse to hold yourself back. If you pick someone who you know will not support you, do not blame them for your shortcoming. When you believe something is possible, everything and everyone you need to manifest your desires will materialize. We can only create what we can envision. It is time for you to imagine what you wish to create, for you will only see it, when you believe it!
The Emerald Stone 🧩
“The heart knows what the eyes cannot see.”
There are times when things happen to is and no explanation is possible. Often our journey brings us full circle, leaving many of us to wonder why. The Emerald Stone is inviting you to follow through in whatever is before you. Going back is not an option. Forward movement will change your entire perspective on life - for the better. You may now be able to hear something that you have been told many times. Your reward will be a closer relationship with yourself. If Emerald Stone sparkles for you, it is with the understanding that you are now developing a new perception of things. The Stone welcomes you out of the dark and into your heart.
Blue & Green may be lucky colors 💙💚

(1) If you weren’t anon you could get into legal trouble just for making blogs targeting minors and inciting people to attack them. No one would say it’s valid bc op is just “holding them accountable for having a PayPal”.
(2)and Calling the minors prostitutes is extra fucking disgusting, idgaf what your intent was bc you sure as hell wouldn’t give anyone else the benefit of the doubt.
(3)mod shit would screenshot and archive that forever, and include it as evidence that op is a freak, which is conveniently what I think they are.
(4)I know these asks will get shit on immediately as does every post in opposition to this blog, but If this validates even one reader’s uneasiness about the shit op lets fly, I hope you take this post as a sign to run.
(5) Mod shit is not a therapist, nor has any regard for anyone’s mental health or well being. Just because they condemn overspending doesn’t remove their responsibility from all the harmful shit they’ve said.
(6) Mod shit wants content for this blog and if getting that content involves stalking and harassing minors and those struggling with mental illness into feeling hopeless, that’s fine as long as they’re anon and never have to be held accountable!
(7)I’m all for archiving disgusting behavior in cs, but this isn’t fucking it. It’s only a matter of time before it goes too far and someone gets hurt.
before anything else here i just want to thank you for numbering this with the full expectation i was even going to publish all this in the first place. now here's the parts where you're wasting my time
this blog does not target minors it's about closed species venting
i fucked up because i used a derogatory term ("puta") that means whore about a minor when i was more used to its much more uncommon meaning of bitch, i own up to that and will not be using that word anymore because you're right that was very inappropriate
screenshots and archive are to keep people from getting away with their bullshit so i might've screenshot it and hammered down on it like you're doing now but im also not hiding or denying the fact i said that
even if i run someone else will make another blog about the exact same thing
i never once said i was a therapist or consider myself someone even close one i literally tell people to eat shit and fuck off, i also just happen to have links to actual professional therapy resources
actually this blog gets too much content sometimes and i do jackshit to make that content. it's literally people from various corners coming to me i literally just publish it
stalking and harassing implies i actually look further than anyone's toyhouse or deviantart profile pages to watch their every post or comment. i dont' do that i don't even know 98% of the people brought up. the closest argument you could make would be darci because i hate the bitch but i also had been in scarfox for many years and experience a lot of that shit firsthand
i am not responsible for other people's wellbeing i know exactly what a dick i look like managing a blog like this

Exactly. I don't like it done to mod or fellow anons, even if not directly to the anons. Not everyone has a idgaf attitude. And I don't get how they can't at least be respectful to fellow anons here who for the most part agree on things. Yes we sometimes get anons who just want to argue but mostly everyone here is in the same page. And we should care if someone gets their feelings hurt as they would if mod gets her feelings hurt when they come for her. I know mod doesnt get affected but we should still care about fellow anons as we care about mod.
I don’t think anyone would disagree that we could be kinder to each other but the anons who come here and ruin these discussions that’s their goal to cause arguments and drama while a conversation about something important like body shaming is being had and we don’t know which anon is who because everyone besides mod and a few other anons come and send asks on anonymous and it’s not the first time or the last a hateful anon will do this it’s been happening for months no we shouldn’t talk about anyone’s body but the point is being missed here it went from caring to anons who read it to mod being body shamed when if anyone is against it happening why do it to mod? And it makes me question I don’t know about anyone else but I put myself in mods shoes she took back her power and posted a photo of herself and was body shamed would the people who have been body shaming her and then acting like it’s okay because they didn’t like what she said about Annabelle if it was someone else in mod shoes would they do it to them? I’m not saying all the anons but I’ve seen a lot of cherry picking and then more body shaming for mod and the excuse well what if this hurts anyone feelings for what you are saying about Annabelle. None of you are Annabelle though why make your worth and self esteem based off a woman who is being talked about? And if that’s the case why body shame mod if the chance an anon with the same body type and features like mod are here reading these asks? It doesn’t seem like people actually care about that only if people are offended by what is said about Annabelle and only about Annabelle

Do you ever just pick an EXTREMELY minor character up off the ground and go, “I’m going to make you integral?”
The girl on the right (in red) is my 1.0 WoL, Thalia, my current main’s predecessor and older sister. The girl on the left (with the moon staff) is Una Tayuun. She is a background character and 1.0 survivor that’s completely missable if you never talk to anyone in the Waking Sands.
Tumblr media
[readmore cut]
I got interested in her because I AM that person who talks to all of the npcs and of course noticed that she had the same weird amnesia that all of the other canon NPCs have about the 1.0 adventurers while also, apparently, being one of those adventurers or at least related to them.
Tumblr media
(https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Una_Tayuun#Dialogue)
“Who was this character in 1.0?” I wondered. “what was she like?” but information about 1.0 is scarce and mostly lost. I would look it up eventually, I thought. But never got around to it... always held a fondness for her though. I have a soft spot for background characters that nobody talks about.
Then a few months ago I got the very silly idea to make a WoL fanfic. But before I could talk about my main, I had to think about his predecessor. Who were the people she would have known? who would have remembered her? What would be the significance of these relationships?
And eventually decided I really wanted to make Thalia a bigger part of the story than I intended, and start with *her* journey, in 1.0. We’re always saying we wish we could see the story of 1.0 right? What if I just novelized it! Simple.
...Well turns out that’s a bigger ask than I anticipated lmao, but. Trying to weave the unfinished and largely-retconned lore into the current storylines to make a cohesive (and hopefully interesting) narrative is the kind of overly-ambitious challenge that activates my dopamine receptors. 
So wtf does this have to do with Una?  Well, how do you make a story memorable? give your themes a name and a face. it’s not just the story of a world, it’s the story of a person, a life. and their relationships play a big part of that life.
Una has a “rough around the edges”, “IDGAF” personality. She talks like a lominsan (or just lowborn), curses, talks with her mouth full, she’s confident and a little abrasive. She’s an adventurer. She was a member of Minfilia’s Path of the Twelve. We’re not sure if she had the echo or not. She hangs out with a couple of guys who are kind of standoffish rough assholes. She’s a miqo’te seeker of the sun with a keeper of the moon name and she’s a conjurer. This is all we know about her canon, that leaves a lot of flexibility to fill in details. She’s just the right age (according to encyclopedia eorzea 1), and has enough presence to hook into the narrative easily.  
Thalia is stubborn, impulsive, and fiercely independent. She has a big sense of responsibility, but at the start of her journey is very much rebelling against having an overwhelming burden of responsibility forced onto her. She awakens to the Echo at 13 years old which, in addition to the usual Echo things, gives her the ability to tell when people are being deceitful. 
In 1562 of the 6th astral era, quite a lot of things happen. It’s when the world starts to really fall apart, though most people won’t realize it for many years. In the midst of all the Inciting Incidents(tm), Thalia gets into a huge argument with her mom and runs away from home.
She ends up in Gridania, where she meets Una, a novice conjurer. (still hammering out the details on how Una got there). They bond over them both being “outsiders” in a time when Gridania is, arguably a lot more insular and xenophobic than usual (which is saying something). Una appreciates Thalia’s direct approach to problems and unwillingness to do as she’s told, and Thalia appreciates how Una is willing to call someone an idiot to their face (and honestly likes having someone of her own age around for once). They are young teenagers and they are -so- annoying.
They’re friends for over a year, through a bunch of canon happenings, before the puppy crush manifests.
Around 1564ish, Thalia is 16 and Una is 15. They’re each-other’s first kiss. They start dating officially. They leave Gridania together, and Thalia introduces Una to her family (it goes...complicatedly). Then they go to Limsa Lominsa, which is a lovely place for two unaccompanied teenage girls, but there’s a new Admiral in charge and a bunch of -stuff- happening. They get into and out of so much trouble. 
Eventually they start working with the Company of Heroes, and things get ... really, really complicated. Thalia is called more and more towards destiny by The Plot. A distance grows between them. Being a hero and being a good girlfriend aren’t always compatible.
In 1568, they get into a huge fight. They break up. They regret it later, but ... things get in the way. Time and distance and, circumstance.
Una gets a new crew. She joins the Path of the Twelve. She’s sad sometimes, regretting what could have been, but is the type to just keep moving forward and never looking back unless she has to (wounds can’t hurt if you pretend they aren’t there. ironic, for a healer).
Thalia runs with the Ironworks a while but it doesn’t stick. She has a kind of crisis of identity, and walls herself off from the world. She quits adventuring, gets married to a man she barely knows and has a baby, trying to fit herself into a mold and do what she’s “supposed” to do.
And then the damn moon starts falling. It’s 1572. Thalia has a 2 year old, she is not supposed to be in the field. But she *has* to be. It’s what she was called for. What she was chosen for.
Una, as a part of the Path and a longtime adventurer, is of course involved in...everything. They cross paths a time or two, but there’s little time to mend broken bonds in the middle of a pending apocalypse. And, well, Thalia’s married now. No matter how unhappy she seems, that isn’t Una’s place. Not anymore.
Still, they talk a time or two. Maybe if things were different, if they had more time...
It’s not to be. Thalia dies. Una dies too, much later, after (re)meeting Thalia’s little brother. A tragic story like so many others.
... but.
The events of shadowbringers, particularly 5.3 are very strange. Mass summoning across the rift. Many free-floating spirits, and unfortunate fallen bodies. Potentially, a few cracks in reality wide enough for some things to fall through. Or be guided through by a benevolent hand already shown as willing and able to guide souls between the shards. And with strong enough wills, who knows what might be possible?

just realized that twt so boring without sadie content. like idgaf about st anymore because of the endless arguments over the SAME FUCKING THINGS. shitheads never gets tired. like PLEASE leave your house and touch some grass. fighting over fictional characters ain't worth it.
i can defend max mayfield in EVERY argument because i know her so well at this point. i get it, you're attached to these characters, but just fucking realize that there's so MANY opinions out there, either from stranger things fandom or just from casuals. defending them to every goddamn person who doesn't share your opinion ain't worth it and won't change a SINGLE thing. people will have fucking opinions and it's not your job to change it. you CAN, but it's not NECESSARY.
im chill as hell bcs im choosing who im gonna argue with in all of that countless opinions that can really hurt you because you love that character so much. it's simply letting it go. life would be easier and spent wiser. fuck what they think. what matters is that you love that character but can still accept that they have flaws and maybe given a shitty storyline that they don't deserve at some point. know that those nonsense opinions are basically from people who doesn't use their fucking brains. let it go, for fuck's sake. or just create a new drama lmao
