#is this my way of combining my special interests?

[alexas-fandom-and-random-blog]

I need to get it out of my chest so here's some Striker theories/speculations fandom has come up with that I heavily dislike and why.

Striker has some royalty blood from one parent or both.

Oh God that would suck so much if it became canon cause it absolutely defeats the purpose of his character so far, that of being a lower class imp hating royals with valid reasons even if his actions are violent and sadistic.

As he is he has such an interesting antagonistic role in the story and offers a bunch of good lines directly opposing and questioning the heroes values, choices and morality.

His mere presence and open bashing of the upper class is just good social commentary! If his hatred stems from a combination of his narcissistic nature and bitterness that being born an imp (even mixed or hybrid) robs him from ascending further into the social ladder or even if he survived a traumatic encounter with a royal as its implied and it's fuelled by anger or a combo of all those things all are good for telling a compelling story! All can be done in very interesting ways!

But making him yet another character tied closer to royalty than just being a random person that got screwed over is honestly an underwhelming concept.

Getting screwed over for no good or justified reason should be common with Hell's racist and classist system as its been presented so far and we should get confirmation of that instead of having Striker added to the trend of each of the main characters having special connections with higher ups. It's not only redundant at this point but would make his motivation and social commentary that much weaker.

I swear if it just becomes another daddy or mommy issue imma rage quit so fast!

Striker is half shark demon

His sound design is explicitly constantly emulating the noises a rattlesnake makes. Since he's most likely a hybrid and he says to Blitzo how they are "superior to most of our kind" he's definitely part imp. So we got two halves and we got snake demon and imp, so it's basically covered? lol I don't know how this theory became so popular😅

He doesn't even look close to the design of the other sharks

he only looks like Chaz a little bit.

And lots of characters share similar characteristics like that snout.

This one had some merit with the ringed eyes and imma be real I haven't noticed those elsewhere but like even if he had a grandpa shark what purpose would that serve?

Bah I just don't like it. Let the man be a slimy snake! Its more unique and it suits him better!

Striker is asexual cause he got grossed out by sex jokes

No...just no..

To be clear you could totally read him as asexual! But the reason being the damn sex jokes is giving me whiplash. Striker got flustered and frustrated at best cause the timing of each sex joke was inappropriate as all hell and cause everyone did it as he tried to be intimidating and threaten/kill them. If anything they were bruises to his ego not any indication to his libido.

But like... In all seriousness asexual confirmation deserves more than a reaction to sex jokes.

Hellaverse does it better with Alastor. In his case it does tie in with his sexuality.

Same goes with all the theories that he's homophobic too.

He did the sexy villain thing trying to seduce Blitzo like so explicitly and smiled when Blitzo called it hot then! What are you talking about?

Different situation, more receptive to sexual undertones and instigating them too. That's what I'm trying to say!

And again. Asexual reading can apply. But it can't be just the sex jokes alright?!😭

(yeah yeah it's a joke on itself. still valid I get it.)

Striker is related to Crimson and Moxxie.

Oh this one is the worst one and absolutely gives me a heart attack and thank goodness for the crew's soft confirmation that they aren't via strixxie fanart cause no joke I'd cry since its my favourite ship!

It's just similar horns!!! Striker was designed as a mix between Moxxie and Blitzo and that's the only reason why!

Striker also had sexual tension with Blitzo on screen are you gonna tell me they are related too cause he was designed with half of him in mind?

I hate this theory so much.

Granted purely for shipping reasons but holy shit it got popular and I hated that!

I've had enough with turning every ship into potential incest just cause and harassing fans over it!

Got such "Fizz and Blitzo are siblings" deja vu😬

Ahem...

Anyways yeah that's all.

To end it more positively I love the snake man! Didn't spot him on the trailer but still hope we see him in the upcoming episodes🥺

Preferably doing shit like this and traumatizing everyone lmao! (with no godawful statue jokes in sight thank you very much)

hear me out guys but aot would make such a good epic poem. greek mythology style? that shit would go so hard styled as a classic tragedy. cmon. the fixed narrative with eren? the "standing atop my mountain of corpses" with erwin? the doomed lover in mikasa? the miserable survivor in levi and reiner??? the fulfilling a cycle in armin??? the born and bred into hate in literally every marley warrior (most notably, gabi)?????

I'm sorry I'm going to be insane for a second, avert your eyes

#i will mention i'm aroace and combined with this kind of like. moe-ness i exude apparently? #will lead people to immediately think i'm so pure and cutie pie and shy and uwu adorable #and of course people never know what aromanticism is but even after an explanation they just think it's an extension of my asexuality #bitch no it isn't. they're two separate things and i am going to killl you with psychic lasers #i swear to go they hear aroace and suddenly all the contrastic aspects of my personality disappear #some people will forget that i get loud and enthusiastic about men i think are hot #suddenly i am a meek angel who's soo cute and pure! #and i can mention how much i know about & like sex in theory and kink and romance #and every time it's 'that's funny cause you're asexual' 'you're aroace but your special interest is sex what a contrast' like argh #i need aro friends!!!! more!!!!!!!! #sure i like being cute but if people could stop equating that to being a pure angel it'd be nice #like. i'm into the theoretical side of sex! i like reading about kink! in sexy AND educational ways!! #i know what sex is and i have been the friend who does specific sex ed to others a few times! #but nooo she's kind of small feminine a little shy at times and asexual so surely the millions of words of sex & sex ed don't exist anymore #vagueing people i live with <3 #and i've corrected the specific person i'm thinking of!! i have!! #i've told them 'oh yeah it's a fun contrast but it IS a genuine interest of mine that i've put a fair amount of time into over the years' #and they just forget it and keep making the joke every time! #oh i am Tired #wow i have a ramble tag now

princezam in trad goth makeup. roshambogames with corpsepaint. there is corn starch all over the team awesome base and mapicc keeps having coughing fits

#in the scale of heavy makeup alt to no makeup alt to me mapicc is the group’s designated metalhead where his only thing is to stand around #with long hair and a band shirt. nothing else #he can’t take his teammates ANYWHERE #because I know more about corpsepaint than anything else I can so very safely say there WOULD be hand motifs all through Ro’s #the hands are inescapable and so is my desire to see alternative clothes on every single lifesteal member at least once #mapicc the type of guy to say he only likes niche metal bands and then he owns cannibal corpse and slipknot shirts #I’m so torn between having him be an obnoxious metal purist or that fucker who only listens to obscure music like it’s bragging rights #zam had me torn between pastel goth hippie goth and trad goth for AGES but I think the painted white face black contour pointy eyeliner #combination and teased hair is Way too cool to give up #i dont have too many thoughts about ro. just corpsepaint #ok and the fact that he feels like a lorna shore / gimmick metal ass motherfucker #that’s It that’s All i am going to stop blending special interests now (I will not be doing that) #cats.txt

for anyone who has been following project voltage (pokemiku), an interview with subaki matoba (planning and production leader) and wataru sasaki (miku's creator!) has been posted on famitsu!

#really nice read! you can tell that everyone involved was genuinely passionate about the project #sniffles. my two oldest + longest running interests and they got combined in such a heartfelt and loving way. it means so much to meee #project voltage is the first time i've felt truly excited about pokemon in such a long time and it truly beat my expectations #the creative freedom each artist involved was given really shines through #ough... pokemon... miku... 🥺🥹😭 #i want to go back in time and show 7 year old me these songs and this art!! i would have loved it then and i love it now!!! #its extra special to me because it wasnt just that vocaloid in general was a childhood interest #but my friends and i each had our own voca and miku was specifically My vocaloid so it truly feels extra special #aaaah!! anyway. give it a read if u can! #pokemon #hatsune miku #project voltage #pokemiku #elliot lore #fave #alt text

Continuing to let my unusually intense special interest compel me into more and more hubristic endeavors by signing up to be the organizer for the Owl House photoshoot at a decidedly large convention later this year which is??

On the one hand I would love if there were, you know, any other things that could convince me to take on this much responsibility, on the other hand, I’m just glad something can, and also it is going to be pretty funny directing a large group of people as a very small Golden Guard.

#i'm sure it's a combination of like. intensity paired with age and experience #because i've been really into other things before but never tackled anything remotely like this (or my 3+ ongoing toh costumes or etc) #and also i've been growing in social confidence since i was a teen and would have been too shy and anxious for this #but also every once and a while i look at the things toh specifically is inspiring me to do and create and be involved with #in ways that have not happened before #and just go oh. okay so this is my /special/ special interest #ANYWAYS this con is big enough and i have enough followers that the likelihood i will see some of you there is. decent #so uh...... hello in advance #(some of you may also be amused to hear i was pestering my friend who will be cosplaying belos for advice on this last night) #(very official emperor's coven business)

im working on a thing. perhaps an au of sorts,,

#submas #ingo #emmet #nobori #kudari #wip #my art #combining hyperfixations/special interests is way more validating than i could've imagined #wheehehe

[devilofthepit]

my final paper for gender studies is about white feminism in buffy which is so interesting to me and i've been reading so many academic articles about it and been watching so much buffy lately that it's just a hyperfixation at this point. except gender studies is my best class and i should really worry about all my other finals lmao

#went down a rabbit hole of horror theory the other night and just OUGHH #dream job is horror scholar #i don't want to teach people tho. i just want to read and write articles #but also academia is so elitist and inaccessible and even tho i love it i also hate it sometimes #and also i want a job that actually helps people and contributes things to the world #so i'd like to find a job where i can also help people and do things in the real world #either do both at the same time or two jobs #i've also been thinking of being a media critic for a while like in regular journalism which feels more accessible to the 'real world' to #me and like every time i think abouut that being not useful enough i think about how there is always going to be art and always people to #facilitate conversations about art and devoting time to art and media and entertainment is a way of preserving those things in a society #devoted to production and consumption #and ideally i'd also do an intersectional critique of everything and combine my critical theory major and english major to analyze #everything in relation to our culture #because i'm so incredibly interested in how pop culture reflects our time but also specifically with horror since that is my special intere #st #but anyway. buffy hyperfixation :3

Drawing your blorbo as the dog breed you think he would be is healing actually

#NOT IN A FURRY WAY IN I'M A DOG NERD CRAZY DOG LADY WAY #I'm combining my 2 special interests leave me alone #em rambles #next up: my other blorbo as what cat breed i think she would be <3 #any guesses? 👀 it's not a german shepherd (though that is a very valid interpretation) #it's a breed hardly anyone knows about in my experience of bringing it up in conversation cause I think they're neat lmao #which is why I've always wanted to draw him as this breed cause I've never seen it done and it's SO accurate

i love consuming genshin but ONLY under the pretext of "how does mihoyo avoid chinese censorship laws/how do daoist + confucian morals present themselves in the text". otherwise it is boring and i don't care about it

#sorry my uhhhh. special interests. history. yeah #ughhh i never got diagnosed with autism as a kid so only NOW do i realize that half the shit i do is Not Normal #so i don't. know. whne something is a special interest or just a fixation. like on paper it makes sense but in practice it's Hell #i tend to leave it vague because of the fact. anywya #this is one of the most interesting ways to consume Le Media i think. because if you're familiar with daoism/confucianism Hoo Boy + #do they make themselves present in genshin impact #along with CN censorship laws.. there are so many things chinese companies point blank Can't include in their stories regardless of if it's+ #condemned or not #those two combined really uh. make sense why the writing is Like That sometimes #absolutely not saying 'actually we should give mhy a pass because ccp mean :(' #it's more of a like. ' wow i wonder why this media has weird racial/familial/etc messaging #sage talks #NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN HERE BTW have fun consume your media. i just personally don't care about it #however miss raiden shogun and yae miko. if you're free next saturday 😏
