#it just makes me scared for some of the people in this fandom that they legitimately thought the syndicate was the same as a government

[obae-me]

I saw your post about the characters with a traumatized MC and the part about the angels made me start thinking about how they'd handle an MC who has religious trauma (because I thought that was where it was going in your post)

MC avoiding Simeon and Luke because everything related to heaven creeps them out (they're legit scared of angels, god, etc) and feeling way too comfortable living in the devildom and being around demons because they "always knew they were going to end up in hell when they died" because that's what was hammered into their head growing up or something

that would sure change the cast's views on human religion huh?

Yes, absolutely. I can't remember if I mentioned it before or just kept that brainworm tucked safely inside my skull, but I think about this a lot. Namely, because I have SO much religious trauma (yippie!).

I've thought a lot about how the Celestial Realm harbors a lot of the same toxicity that certain organized religions have the tendancy to exhibit here on good ol earth. I mean, we've seen some things in game that suggest that things aren't all rainbows and roses up there. The way that Luke talks early game suggests a lot. And so I'm sure a religiously traumatized MC would have SUCH a hard time around the angels at first. (I actually had my own reservations with the angels when they were first introduced and I even kind of disliked Luke a ton before I eventually took a step back and thought about the fact that he's just a BABY who is just spitting out ideals that were shoved into his head. It's not his fault, and I think his character development is something that the fandom does not address enough. I'm so proud of him!! Having your expectations of the world be broken and then having to relearn everything you thought you knew is actually SO hard.)

MC getting along well or feeling more comfortable with demons because they don't feel like they're being judged or under the watchful eyes of others.

MC talking about "not being as afraid to come back" VERY early on in game and the other characters taking WAY too long to realize they mean come to purgatory after they pass, and the demons themselves don't feel good about knowing that.

MC avoiding certain sins/pleasures/temptations due to the fear that's been embedded in them over it. Even if those things are COMPLETELY normal and harmless to enjoy.

All of the characters being extremely patient and understanding about this sort of thing and very slowly chipping away at certain stigmas they still hold onto, making the human feel safe while they do.

MC avoiding Simeon because of mixed feelings of shame and maybe a bit of resentment and then eventually learning that he's actually such a down to earth and sweet guy and spending more time with him just to learn that he's been in many similar situations is so...so good to think about. Learning that he'll never force certain ideologies onto them, that he doesn't see them as someone who needs to be "saved". A human and an angel sitting together and discussing what being "good" really means. Sharing confessions to each other that they've both held on their backs for such a long time because they've been too ashamed of themselves and confused to heal from it alone. They're not a sinner and a Saint, they're just normal people who make mistakes and want to do good in the world.

I do have many thoughts on this clearly...

Tw mention of non-con, fetishizing gay men. Putting this out there first that this is coming from a non-aspec adult gay man. Many people have said this before in many fandoms, both in the past and present, that there really is something weird about people who consume media and IMMEDIATELY shipping or making something out as sexual between two characters. Even two characters that have only interacted one time. These two characters are usually AMAB or male-presenting. I wasn't uncomfortable with this type of people before but when they became more and more obsessive about their ship/s to the point you wonder if they're watching the same show as you, I began avoiding them like the plague. By obsessive I mean in the earlier plot of the show, some EclipsexSun shippers have messaged me and my boyfriend (for context, we like cosplaying as human versions of the tsams characters), asking us if we could cosplay Eclipse and Sun doing sexual things, including non-con, for them to "enjoy" or to "inspire" them with their art and fanfics. I threw the block button like a chancla to their faces so fast. Because why in the absolute hell would you ask that? To literally strangers on the internet? They were adults, mind you. They know what's right and wrong. And I am sad to say that it is STILL happening to this day. Honestly, it made both me and my boyfriend scared anytime we see an EclipsexSun shipper following/liking our posts because we couldn't tell anymore. We couldn't tell if they're just harmless shippers or very porn-brained, fetishizing gay men shippers.

You ever look through your follower list and realise how many people are following you who you absolutely cannot stand.

So anyway. Time to do some spring cleaning. Bioessentialists & transphobes get the fuck off my blog. Ace and aro exclusionists get the fuck off my blog. SWERFs and “no kink at pride” types get the fuck off my blog. Right wingers get the fuck off my blog. Antisemites get the fuck off my blog. None of you are welcome here.

(And if none of this applies to you, you’re totally welcome here!)

#personal #Bleh. #I hate having to do these posts why can’t people just be decent #I’ve been lazy though #Now I’ve got blogs following me who have bios threatening to mutilate ‘AMAB people’ if they interact #Fucking disgusting. Eat shit & delete your blog #I know this is my art blog not my personal blog so people aren’t really gonna get much of a sense of who I am from it #But I wanna make it clear I’m not willing to interact with people who think that stuff is okay. #I wasn’t even looking through my followers for this stuff I was looking for petty fandom reasons dghdvdjd #Ugh #Anyway. Going to bed #ALSO. THIS ISN’T REBLOG BAIT #I’m just trying to scare off some people from My blog #Just so you know-

me when bl fans stop trying to find "the good one" to root for and learn to look at characters as multifaceted beings with their own motivations and personalities

#playboyy #playboyy the series #dead friend forever #dff the series #idk these are airing currently and i'm having many thoughts #jbls especially have so many morally grey characters that i LOVE but fandom has decided are irredeemable #segasaki uncle jim way vegas kijima boston jiwoo etc #and the worst offender of all! #jaewon breaking up w jihyun bc he was scared of losing him! some ppl were acting like he personally killed their dog #don't even get me started on how gmmtv moralizes it's own shows to pander to the public & sponsors </3 #i'm sorry i'm in a hater mood #mine #thai bl #japanese bl #but i guess that's too much to ask for when half of these people can't even watch playboyy wo making fun of it #like i get it you don't like it. do you have to mock the actors' english or the sex scenes when both of these things are just stylization #to let the viewer understand the characters better

[candyheartedchy]

I’m not gonna lie, as much as I want to interact with fandom blogs and join in on the discussions on my favorite shows and characters, the fact that I might make some of them uncomfortable due to being a self shipper make me anxious and sad.

#i know there’s some that follow me and I’m honored and greatful ❤️ #but honestly when some of y’all first followed me I was scared lol #i know other self shippers probably feel the same way too because we’re TERRIFIED of having fandoms know about our ships and stuff #and it’s a struggle #that’s why I rarely reblog other’s fanart because of this #it’s just you’re watching the fans have fun but your on the sideline too scared to make the first move #i just wish I was move braver to reach out more and interact with folks #but that fear of people knowing about you and your work and judging is real #vent i guess #💬 chy chatter 💬

[sleepy-doobles]

I have reasoning for this I promise

#rain code #rain code spoilers #(?) just cause #makoto kagutsuchi #izuru kamukura #hear me out they didn’t need to make these two so heckin similar #we got the almost identical hair with makotos just being a bit shorter #we got the alternate version of the protagonist with a different name and essentially god powers #there are some dubious morals going on #and theyre mostly referred to is the fandoms as different people than the protagonist #plus theyre both the best even if only one of them got an actual boss fight #(this is in the tags cause i’m scared to type it out) #(and I needed to yell this into the void since it’s all im thinking about thank you) #danganronpa

[sketchy-tour]

It's funny how I can post me literally kissing sun and moon and tag it as self insert and have it in my bio as something I tend to draw

And yet I at the same time sit here like "Man I sure do hope no one realizes Dandy is, in a lot of ways, a self insert oc." As if it's not obvious as hell.

#really need to stop being so skiddish about it #commissioned someone who called Dandy an insert and almost corrected them out of embaressment even tho its kinda right #snfnmsmf anyway #just rambling #text post #id seen some people in the fandom before I started posting WH or Dandy be so critical of the idea of making ocs that are very inserty #and so I desperately wanted to be....not seen as that #trying to stop being so worried about being seen as cringe #yall have been so sweet to me! i dunno why im so scared! #calling myself out on it so I'll stop being so skiddish

Sometimes it seems like the anti fandoms are more toxic than the actual fandom that the anti fandom people hate on, it's actually really sad.

MLP fans will know what I'm talking about

#I saw a post saying that they wish Taylor Swift's private jet would crash since that'd be upsetting towards her fans and people were saying #it's cause mass suicides which would be a good thing since Swifties are toxic #look. you can dislike a group of people/a fandom due to their behavior but that does NOT make it okay to say they should kill themselves. #I've seen lots of nasty posts about furries too #saying that people should kill furries like you would a deer (hunting) and saying that they should all die #just because you find something “cringe” doesn't mean it's okay to wish death upon people #someone pointed out that oftentimes hate towards furries (and other groups) is partially rooted in ableism (mostly towards autism) and LGBT #LGBTQ hate #since furries are oftentimes associated with those two groups #people hate on furries due to their hate on those other groups #there's really a lot of small forms of hate which cause even worse forms of hate #you can find something “cringe” but that does NOT make it okay to wish death towards people. especially those in groups oftentimes victims #victims of oppression #autistic lesbian here and I've heard many stories about autistic people being killed by their parents or caretakers #and sometimes I'm genuinely scared for my life #I loooooove my parents they really take good care of me but I've dealt with some absolutely horrible teachers #ramble over. I just had to get this off of my chest #I've been seeing a lot of negativity lately

[thefloatingwriter]

this fandom scares me :)

#dayne talks #i’m kind of scared to post this #but like what the fuck #is this fandom doing #like what do you mean some of the fans are making writers private/delete their works #what the fuck is wrong with some of you #and this is not about the amazing people i’ve met in this fandom #but like #what are some of you doing #and god forbid you say you like a ship that isnt as “accepted” in the fandom #like blackinnon #what did blackinnon do to you #please inform me if something actually happened to make fans hate them sm #but all i can see is some of you can’t admit that some people have different opinions and that’s okay #the marauders fandom #i’m going to be brave and actually post this lol instead of just adding it to my drafts

[swagart-man]

Idk why but I'm paranoid about the wdy fandom here for some reason like I just feel like someone's gonna cause drama here and shits gonna hit the fan and it's gonna be like wdy twitter

Idk man I'm just scared I don't want there to be drama again...

#kylepat.txt #ok gonna vent in the tags but #the wii deleted you fandom on twitter legit chased me off the site #bc they hated the fact that i liked SO and supported the devs #like i was genuinely scared to post anything about SO bc of some people on there #which sucks bc i love SO alot #like its my main hyperfixation at the moment #and in fact i got dragged into drama surrounding SO just bc i talked about it alot #idk now i see anything related to SO here and now i panic slightly bc im afraid that its going to cause drama #which sucks bc i just want to enjoy the thing that makes me happy #i still like wii deleted you but geez #the fact that im afraid to post stuff about the thing that i like just sucks #i just want to enjoy the thing that i love in peace #without being afraid that dramas going to start

[atarial]

i am reminded that some people don't interact with the real world much

or stop and breathe before reacting to things

#personally i think hanging your whole personality on say one tv show is maybe not a good thing? #people extremely deep in fandoms scare me a bit #thoughts brought on by ofmd ( i liked s2) #but it applies to so many fandoms both online and at conventions #it really should not be quite as serious as some people make it #idk man #like i enjoy my shows and things #and sometimes i do wish things were different but they're just stories #ok needed to rant cos its crazy to me how visceral and cruel people are in their anger over a tv show like damn

[natsmagi]

maybe a weird question but ive been wondering this for a while and i kinda wanna hear ur opinion, would u still consider it hetbending if i headcanon natsume as a trans man and tsmg as a trans woman and ship them like this? cuz those are my hcs and sometimes i wonder if its like problematic?? Like id get it if ppl didnt agree with my headcanons thats just differing opinions of course, and thats fine, but im scared bc i dont wanna like, turn gay ships straight and stuff? Either way i hc both of them as bi, but still :( im worried im doing something bad fhfhgjdh sry if this makes u uncomfortable to answer?? I just wanna hear opinions abt this? I truly dont wanna hurt anyone!!

waaa ur fine no worries!! i dont mind answering questions like these at all!!

i guess its sorta nuanced? i suppose by definition it would be considered hetbending, esp if one has an altered appearance to suit the assigned gender. but then theres also the headcanon aspect of it. since it is a headcanon that would make these genders be how you view the characters in their source, rather than altering them for ur own silly amusement

since these things are so nuanced i personally tend to tackle it from a portrayal point of view. Have i altered these characters to make one look like a man and the other a woman? if so, id say it should be tagged and considered as hetbend even if both or one party is trans and their sexualities are bisexual, because the point of tags such as "hetbend" or "genderbend" are so people who dont wish to see their favorite characters altered in these ways dont have to see it. these tags are used out of courtesy! Now, if you've taken the characters and headcanon one as a man and the other a woman but there have been no altercations and they look the exact same except for some pronouns and maybe some clothes change then id say it doesnt need the hetbend tag, as clothes do not have a gender and you can go by whichever pronouns you want while being a gender that said pronouns arent commonly applied to

Basically; if the appearances are altered it should be tagged accordingly out of care and consideration for those who dont wish to see that sort of thing for whatever reason. i dont get why people act like theres some morality thing at stake for tagging things like genderbend? trans or cis, the character looks different now which may be upsetting to some, so tag it!!! we're all just here to have fun!!!!

i also want to say enjoying or creating "hetbends" does not make you a bad person nor are you erasing queer rep, especially if you are keeping their queerness!! the original characters will remain the same no matter how much we may alter their gender and appearances in our niche circles, and there will always be a VAST majority of people representing the canon, so really theres no need to worry about wishing to indulge in the things that make you happy. none of us wish to hurt people with what we create!! and that is the REASON its tagged accordingly to begin with. So again; if you feel you have altered the characters to a point where some may be uncomfortable PLEASE tag it. and if there are things that make YOU uncomfortable PLEASE MUTE IT!! we tag things FOR YOU!!!!

#went on a bit of a tangent SORRY i just hate it when i see obvious femstars art and its not tagged properly #i also dont like the argument some femstarries make where its like “why do ppl cw tag femstars ?? do women scare u ???” #BC WHILE I DO AGREE THERES A FUCK TON OF MISOGYNY IN THIS FANDOM #AND THAT ALOT OF THE TIME IT GENUINELY IS JUST PPL WHO HATE WOMEN COMPLAINING ABT THIS STUFF #there is also the people who get genuinely upset over this sort of content #be it because that character resonates with them deeply so they dont want to see them altered #or because theyre simply in it for the source material and dont wish to see a basically entirely new cast #and it should still be tagged for these people!! #even if its trans!! even if its cis!!!! #please look out for one another!!!!! #the amount of times ive seen people not tag femstars/genderbend bc “oh its trans” upsets me #we dont TAG to let people know whats in their pants #we tag so people who dont want to see potentially upsetting things dont need to see it #does this make sense #idk. i just get annoyed with how everything turns into some act of morality in this fandom #even when your actions are done FOR them #TLDR JUST TAG ACCORDINGLY AKSDHFKUAJHSDG #ask

I just saw the start date of TRT on AO3. 2017!

I only just got into the Daredevil Fandom in December 2022. I just binged the fic over the course of a week and now I'm in Jane/Matt withdrawal.

Send help

It did start it late in 2017! I wrote the first 4 chapters over a year and a half or so, before took a hiatus for a few years due to some life stuff.

The good news is I kept thinking about TRT. It was constantly rolling around in the back of my mind, and every now and then I'd write down ideas, gradually filling in my outline while everyone basically thought I was dead and TRT slowly faded from memory. I bided my time until all was ready.

Cue me in Jan 2021 appearing in the inboxes of everyone who forgot they'd subscribed like

I'm not sure what those that had stuck around were expecting (there was a lot of joy but also a lot of confused screaming) but I'm fairly certain Jan 13, 2021 was not the day they expected my feral, Matt-obsessed ass to suddenly reappear from the ether after 2 years of radio silence and feverishly begin dropping 6-10k words of plot on them every week for roughly the next two years (happy belated 2 year end-hiatus anniversary everyone!).

Anyway, I'm so so happy to welcome you to our little side of the Marvel fandom! I can promise we'll absolutely get some more Jane/Matt this week, I gotta keep ya'll fed and me too tbh i like reading trt. 😂

#The Red Thread #4 chapters and a hiatus just long enough to make people think i had changed my identity and fled the fandom country #only to reappear in your inboxes and scare the shit out of people #'holy SHIT PASTA YOU'RE ALIVE' #yes yes i am and i come bearing 800k words #which is not what anyone expected i'm fairly certain #'you hwHAT-' #Me: hork hork hork MBLARGH there you go #anyway we'll get some chapter content this week!

I desperately need to befriend a Death Note fan irl who likes Death Note the way I do.. The only DN fans I've met irl are anime only Near haters :'(

#I NEED someone to shake while I rant to them about Death Note pls pls pls #I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO GIGGLE WITH WHILE WE STARE AT DEATH NOTE PANELS PLS PLS PLS #My sister has seen Death Note but she's not really into it + anime only + Near hater </3 #It sucks to remember that the Death Note fandom isn't just my mutuals.. Some people genuinely hate Near :(( #I LOVE the anime the animation is beautiful the soundtrack is beautiful and OOOOO THE COLOR CODING EEEE but #It butchered the 2nd half soo so badly and changed Near's personality and I'm not a fan of the ending :( #THE MANGA ENDING IS SOOO SO GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL #OMGGGG when Light admits to being Kira and gives them his speech and calls himself god of the new world AND EEEE NEAR SAYS “NO YOURE JUST A #MASS MURDERER“ #LIKE EEEE THAT ALWAYS ALWAYS MAKES ME GIGGLE NEAR WAS SOOO SO COOL FOR THAT LIKE HE'S LITERALLY FACE TO FACE WITH KIRA THE GUY WHO KILLED L #And Near REPEATS IT. HE CALLS HIM “JUST A MURDERER” TWICE. #Sorry but the anime made Near so stupid “lol just let him run away it's not like he'll survive” #I love Near and Light's dynamic so much they're so funny. They have the prettiest panels too #Maybe an unpopular opinion but Near vs Light was wayyy more entertaining that L vs Light #And it hurts me to see people say that it should've ended at the 1st half. I know people can have their own opinions or whatever but THEYRE #WRONG!! DN is SOOO much better with the 2nd half + if it ended at L's death that would've sucked. So glad L died midway #I wish I had a friend I could talk about DN to :( I'll just hope one of my friends decide to watch it because idk how to make new friends #Discord servers scare me and while I love my mutuals if any of you tried to message me I think I'd cry out of nervousness lol #Gosh this is long shoukd I even post this

hm, out of all of the things I was expecting when I slowly started putting myself back in fandom spaces, “unresolved trauma from being an autistic kid/teen who was always perceived as Too Much” wasn’t on the list, to be quite honest.

#ooc ! #maybe I’ll unpack this more on my personal blog later. Who’s to say. not me certainly. #but yeah the amount of friendships/relationships I had from like. elementary school to high school(to even some of college) #where like. it’s suddenly revealed to me incredibly late that I’m being seen as overbearing / overwhelming / needing or being Too Much #and by then there is no fixing it yknow. by then they’re just telling you to get you to fuck off (or telling other people and not you lol) #(that happened way more often in online fandom spaces)(but tbh my hang-ups in online fandom spaces) #(come WAY MORE from like. interactions with Very Particular People) #(who self-admitted to like. actively trying to dig up dirt that didn’t exist on people ‘just in case’.)(or if they just didn’t like someone #(they aren’t around here anymore but nevertheless the few times we interacted and they tried that w me made me paranoid for ages </3333) #ANYWAYS if you read this far: hiiiiiiiii #i’m doing fine but oh god the weird nostalgic loneliness of being That Kid really hit me all at once #I’m still so bad at making friends now because of all of this naksdak #like I have to put effort into keeping up with people or else I’ll accidentally hold myself back / kind of isolate #under the assumption of like ‘oh you don’t want to scare this person away do you? you don’t want to be overbearing right?’ #and it’s like. hey. hey brain. hey bitch. we gotta talk to people to actually form relationships with them. that’s how this works. #vent #anyways I gotta go build a closet now ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ...
