Mechs Ships Tournament: Shipping Round 5 Poll 2
Propaganda:
Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot:
that one post where its like theyre the us government but if it actually did whst it said it did. three different people of equal power keeping each other in check. also they aLMOST SAVED THE STATION WITH THE POWEROF LOVE [Pollrunner's note: post here]
POLYAMORY
I just love them a lot and blood and whiskey is so good and ”maybe just this once there could be a happy ending” makes me cry every time 
blood and whistey
the track where they decide
Polymechs:
They're inseparable they hate each other they would die for each other they actively enjoy killing each other ect ect ect
Look they're immortal and stuck in a spaceship you don't think they've hit all possible combinations over the years and settled into a weird comfortable vibe you can only get if youve murdered, been murdered, and had sex with every one (maybe minus nastya) of your friends?
immortal space pirats.... cuddle piles, romantic... not romanticm... poly mechs <3
(Points to every album) there thats my propaganda. But in all seriousness they are a group of immortals with nothing to do but sing and love each other in their own fucked up ways <3 
Chaotic little guys on a ship for a long time, the relationship web they got going on could rival the coven web
you cant tell me you would live with people for millions of years without it getting even a little gay.
Polygamy
when you spend millennia doing music and violence and shenanigans with the same 8 other people on a ship (and when the ship is technically another person), there's bound to be some group canoodling
i care them
they're everything to each other!!!
i refuse to pick
it’s polymechs!! what isn’t to love
Look at them.
how could you pick individual ships when they are so good together!! with the exception of nastya + jonny cos they are siblings your honour.
a lot of people have polymechs with her and aurora being monogamous but she canonically has queer orgies. on mechs tumblr account she describes herself as "The only one seemingly capable of a committed, responsible and fair relationship" so polymechs with all of relationships besides nastyaurora being on and off and everchanging is both the best polymechs and the most canon compliant polymechs to me
The idea that they're crewmates. You ask one of them what their relationship is with another and they say, "That's my crewmate". And then, maybe one of them meets someone on another ship, and they mention they don't have strong feelings about someone because, "they're only my crewmate" And they just cannot comprehend the idea of being crewmates with someone and not having strong feelings about them. They're immortal and half of them hate life, but even if that wasn't true, they'd die for any of the others a million times over. They've murdered billions of people on a whim, but even if that wasn't true, they'd murder anyone if it made one of their crewmate's lives a bit better. Remember how Tim blew up a moon for Bertie? He had only known Bertie for about 10 years. What would he do for people he had known for about 10 millennia? What would Ashes do for the people who would never betray them? What would Nastya do for the people who would always spend time with her and never die? What would Brian do for the people who would always forgive him for following his beliefs? What would Raphaella do for the people who are always willing to help her with her experiments? What would Ivy do for the people who'd always stay and tell their stories? What would the Toy Soldier do for the people who only ordered it to do what it wants to do and always lets it be involved? What would Jonny do for the people he could never permanently hurt? What would Marius do for his family? They all love each other more than anything, even if they don't have the words for it. (via @mchasmfiend)

are you viewing the asks in your askbox before you view them in email? tumblr has this tendency to delete asks youve clicked on and it will even do it through email sometimes. if its happening that you try viewing them from the app first andnthey never show up but they do in your email then its probably something else.
other possible causes are 1. asker has blocked you or their blog was deleted. the emails are generally permanent until you delete them yourself but the ask will usually disappear if the sender has blocked you or their blog is deleted (not always tho bc tumblrs code is bad)
if the emails have the name of the blog in them then you can test this by searching their blog. if it still exists and you arent blocked then its just tumblr working badly. asks get deleted very easily and by mistake a lot. frequently tumblr will just decide to delete them after you view them. and uf your askbox is empty but still says theres asks that just means your counter is off. its not fixable unfortunately.
if the asks are not showing up in your askbox bit the askers blog still exists then the asks are probably deleted. and if the blog doesnt exist or has blocked you then they are definitely gone. in the event the asker hasnt blocked you and their blog still exists or its anonymous then a lot of people just screenshot the email and answer it that way in a post
sorry this ask is kinda a mess. tumblrs code is really messy and theres aot of weird stuff about how it works so theres not really a single answer to this question unfortunately. ive had this problem before and for me it was tumblr just deciding to delete asks. but its hard to know exactly what the cause is all the time
btw i love ur art and ur game!!!!!
thank u!! hmm that might be it.. i don't understand how the website would "know" that i'd clicked on the email though because i don't open the link 🤔
i thought it might be that the blogs were deleted but it's happened maybe three or four times in the past two weeks, and they were all nice messages so i don't think the askers would block me either..
though i should be used to this site's quirks at this point i suppose! anyways thank you for taking the time to help me and i'm really sorry to anyone who i haven't responded to because of this, it won't bother me at all if you resend your ask!

A undertale/deltarune joke theory
i got no sleep so i do a funny
? this theory was probably already done but i no sleep enough to find out, i also no check the facts so if i mix up fanon and cannon sorry i will try to not make that mistake
if not coherent, sorry , i will do this again
Also if u followed me for the genshin stuff, im still writing it. its just taking a bit to figure out how to make the next post coherent
so like...
you know how in deltarune we never see papyrus?? and how gaster is super weird and we havent seen him in deltarune yet??? and if youve run into the papyrus thread on tumblr papyrus is also weird?
so like...
what if...
papyrus is like an amnesiac gaster???
and the reason we dont see him in deltarune is because it would give away the twist.
so u know how gaster is split across time and space in pieces ?
and you know how some people say that memories make you you? theyre youre frame of reference when interacting with the world
if your memories the things that made u you were scattered across time and space couldnt someone theoretically say that u were scattered across time and space????
or maybe its his past and future that were scattered?? like an unconsenting time traveller???
so what if in undertale the machine in basement was put so sans could piece his brother back together???
both ar tall skeletons, gaster has holes in hands and papyrus has gloves and gaster skull crack could just be an injury and him being goopy could be because he had less pieces of himself, he didnt have enough to be solid
"oh, but adsgdskjjdhfdz! the picture of the 3 people??!?!"
kris, susie and raseli
"oh but adsgdskjjdhfdz! raseli isnt real and/or only exists in dark world so sans cant know about them?!?!"
kris, asriel, noelle and maybe replace one with des, the one who went missing.
BOOM!
3 people WHO ARE NOT THE SKELE BROS!!!!
AND IT SAYS ITS POORLY DRAWN!!!!
like a childrens drawing??? ;)
and thenn!!! they get stranded in undertale while hunting down fragments !!! which is why he gives up on going back home!!
and maybe a reason why sans never tells papyrus the truth? maybe he didnt want to turn his world upside down about the knowledge of memories he couldnt get back??
and sans is in in deltarune!!! to get another fragment of papyrus!!
"but adsgdskjjdhfdz! papyrus is too cute of a cinnamon role!!! hes nothing like gaster!!! and also they have different names!!!1!"
first , pls look at this linked tumblr post:
this post talks about lots of inconsistencies in paps behaviour.
he is smarter than u think, he has secrets and is stronger than u think.
and the different names bit...
what if sans gave papyrus the name papyrus to help stabilize him?
if u try and input gaster as a name in deltarune or gaster i think it straight up either kicks u to a menu or crashes the game, and to save his brother from this fate he gave hin a fake name to help build himself around.
this could explain why everyone call him sans brother nad he gets no mail, his existence is too fragile for him to get anything other than an person related to sans.
"but adsgdskjjdhfdz!!!! UNDYNE!!!"
ye, but consider this! she is shown to be able to handle determination until she gets the shit beaten out of her.
_________________
so i want to make this claim! which is absolutely not supported and is basically fanon but this is joke theory, where it doesnt have to make sense! we do this for the funs!
_________________
my claim is: monsters under DT use it like a health bar after their normal health bar, but its constantly decreasing like how KR does to our hp in sans fight. you can use it like extra hp, but if you arent constantly gaining dt to compensate for the loss, then even if you are doing nothing dangerous, you will melt once you run out. if you arent damaged at all, its negligible to even the weakest monsters, but if u get beaten up by a genocidal kid, the rate of loss may be even greater than what undying could sustain, and most importantly, once u run out of normal hp, it combines with you dt and functions with the same rules. e
even if alphys pumps dt to replace the loss, long enough for monsters to regain normal hp, once theyre fallen down, thats it. they can never maintain normal hp without dt and they NEED dt to maintain form. and the reason they went amalgamate is because they fused and maybe the determination to help each other went into a positive feedback loop of sorts where they were determined to help and sice they shared a dt pool being determined to help does help as no the dt pool is bigger, and even if one of them looses dt for a bit, the others act as failsafe's and their determination to help provides enough dt to compensate
and we all know determination can do many things, including calling out for lost souls ;)
so like, why not?? dt bs lets undyne focus on the one person constantly bugging her about his aspirations to join the royal guard
wait this is meant to be about papyrus
_________________
anyways,...
this could also explain the merch where papyrus is behind a tree!! its just another fragment! or maybe even him?? maybe we will see a gaster pap show off?!?!? maybe we will find out a third fragment is the knight??? maybe the third chapter will give is significant enough clues to figure out asnswers???
MAYBE ASRIEL IS IN THE PROCESS OF DOING A GASTER AND THATS WHY RASELI EXISTS???
idk where i was going with this so i end it here
____________________
i will edit this when i get sleep
also i reread the post i linked above and huh
IM NOT ALONE IN THIS CRACKPOT THEORY
so like at least one other person has come up with this theory at one point in time.

So happy to see someone else in this fandom who thinks all the fan characters are…. a lot? Mary sue is definitely a great word for a pretty large handful lol. I can imagine how crazy jumping into this fandom must be I jumped in around season two completely alone and honestly still don’t really understand everything. I came up with the alternate universe thing when I was doing research and realized how much journey to the west stuff there was and I thought a multiverse thing would be a funny way to think about it. I probably made a post about it at some point rambling but idk. Honestly it was really wild seeing someone else’s reaction to this wild Lego crack I’ve sent comments and asks throughout both anon and not that was fun. The next season will probably drop randomly in the next few months so get ready to buckle up and suffer with the rest of us
-🦇
im glad youve enjoyed my reactions aka me being confused 50% of the time and someone having to tell me like "this is actually someone something from jttw!" 😭 anyway yess looking forward to season 5! lmk s5 AND ninjago dr s2 will probably lead to brainrot x10..
to be completely honest, ive removed lego monkie kid from tags that im following (shocking i know) its just that a lot of weird things seem to pop up on my dash when im following #lego monkie kid so im going to rely on people im following and my for you 💀 i'll probably add it back 1 day but i need to emotionally ready myself
anyway yeah joining this fandom was really strange because i fully expected it to be similar to the ninjago tumblr community since its the only tumblr community ive ever known (i joined almost 3 months ago ha..) but uh yeah no it wasnt which is why i wasnt ready
but nevertheless! i am excited! i might just stick to watching the show and posting fanart occasionally but not fully diving into all those fandom, hcs and stuff like that because my brain isnt big enough to comprehend lmk lore :')

AHHHHHHHH
Well, okay. That came by and hit me right in the face. Then it ran back for a second to get a good run up before hitting me right in the FEELS GUYS PLEASE!
This isnt something i couldve like even pictured for any amount of years ive been on tumblr. This is actually insane. Going from like ten followers to fifty to five hundred and now getting to currently 1005 has shocked me more and more at each milestone, but this is definitly a really fucking absurd one. To break the 1k boundary is absolutely imense and i dont even know how to discuss it because its so unreal to me. Going from someone barely anyone cares about to having people in the community i draw for tell me they see me as some kind of integral part of it is just not something i couldve thought of in my wildest dreams and 100% not something i can ever say i deserve or understand because i am really nothing special.
I cant thank any of you people enough for finding my blog and sticking with it. For enjoying my art and my content enough to click that follow button. For just loving and supporting me through the years whether youve been here for years or here for less than a week. Thank you to everyone whos stuck with me and supported my progression because its so weird looking back and seeing the way people react to my art now when i dont even see the reason people like it so much! Theres better artists people GO FIND THEM PLEASE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?!?! I have gotten the chance to meet so many people and interact with so many of these community members that I idolised and took a lot of inspiration from and that is just really really making me tear up. Just, thank you so much. I can only hope to grow and develop then find even more of you to bring happiness with my art. I teally do love you guys, thank you, im so so lucky. <3
I used to tag people but this numbers way too big for this. I will, however, do something to celebrate. Art raffle maybe? Maybe. I love you guys thank you im actually crying rn

under the cut is what i nicknamed my ninjago oni arc retrospective. which is an obscene amount of rambling, ALMOST ENTIRELY CRITICISM ABOUT NINJAGOS WRITING, spurred on by the said trilogy. i had so many thoughts about the oni arc i literally could not tweet it. its literally so much. and by so much i mean about 5000 words of complaining, yelling, a lot of thoughts. coming from a place of genuine care for the characters that are in this godforsaken show. this is the first time im talking about ninjago on tumblr. and considering how twitter is going down im might just like. start liveblogging the rest of ninjago on tumblr lol...... its been years since ive liveblogged on tumblr, man. i wont be fucklong posts like this tho probably
anyways when i say 5k words. i am not exaggerating. this is That Long. youve been warned. i never shut the fuck up. yeehaw lets go
⬇️
garmadon. this is all about garmadon. i realized something while watching s10. like clearly ive been discontent with his narrative or more accurately the way the narrative has been using him (note the word using. its a talking point that i will return to later.). but what ive realized is interesting. garmadon in s10 is actually the garmadon i wish i got in s1/s2. but im discontent with this garmadon anyways why? 
its because. it was given to me. in such a. dissatisfying. way.. and its dissatisfying because..... the best opportunity to make him like this has been squandered in the first place. and theres not enough justification/proper justification to make garmadon the way he was in s10. THE FUCKING...... SEQUENCING OF HIS CHARACTER ARC... CAN IT REALLY BE CALLED A CHARACTER ARC WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SERIES OVERALL....... 
its like... garmadon is a different character every season. in the pilots he was introduced as a sincerely menacing and evil threat and the only reason hes not is because he was trapped in the underworld or whatever but even then he was a threat threatening to be unleashed. someone dangerous. but then when you see him again in s1 hes like..... not.. that. the second impression of him that you get is that oh. hes not that evil actually. hes not so evil that he still loves his son. guess hes not that bad. and its like. okay so my personal opinion is that 1) a truly evil dad wouldnt even give a shit about his son and 2) okay so a villain being a caring parent CAN be an interesting and nuanced concept with depth (thinks about that one prozd vine) BUT the writers didnt actually make it that way and in fact they did it in a way that undermines the effectiveness of garmadons characters. the way they did it... just makes it feel..... inconsistent. 
and on top of that, the writers loved making incompetent villains for comedic purposes and so like. they also decided to make garmadon that incompetent type in s1+2. THE VIBES GARMADON HAS IN THE PILOTS VS THE FIRST SEASONS ARE SO DIFFERENT..... and so... on seeing the type of character garmadon is in s9/s10... this guy who lost his love for his son... it just reminds me of the kind of guy i wish i gotten in s1 and 2. in s10 garmadon is an ally but its like. weird. because they turned him into a character whos entirely rational and practical because hes apathetic towards everyone. and thats not what s1/2 used to be. s1 garmadon was a fucking cartoony asshole lol..... so like... even if garmadon was stripped of all this goodness i cant see him being the guy he was in s10? like personality changes/amnesia doesnt work like that i feel. theres that. and then there the transition from s9->s10. s9 garmadon is like. oddly blank. suggestible. hes cold and cruel. hes a tower. hes menacing. i get how a freshly resurrected garmadon whos entirely evil maybe could result in this a little bit. but i cant see how garmadon in s9 suddenly changed to be the guy in s10. he straight up became a different villain. he became calculative and cunning. competent. also like. rational. like he understands that theres greater priorities to protect ninjago from a greater force. LIKE. DID S9 GARMADON EVEN HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF THOUGHT THAN "hm....... son....... brother........ take over ninjago....... true potential.... power..... destroy..... be evil........" LIKE. HES PRETTY GODDAMN SIMPLE AINT HE. IN S9. AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO TRANSITION TO MAKE HIM LIKE THE WAY HE IS IN S10 OTHER THAN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. AND THAT WOULDNT PRODUCE A CHANGE IN CHARACTER LIKE THAT. GARMADONS CHARACTER IS ALL OVER THE PLACE OVER THE COURSE OF NINJAGO and this doesnt even address sensei garmadon. miss that dilf. anyways. 
they brought garmadon back but its in such a way thats not compelling at all...... because they decide to forget about past established relationship dynamics. (ninjago can and will throw out past established narrative arcs bc they are inconvenient to them. because to the writers, past seasons have very little value in moving the present plot forward because they are completed. BECAUSE THE WRITERS ARENT CLEVER ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WAY TO HAVE CONSISTENCY AND CONTINUITY IN THEIR NARRATIVE AND ALSO INVENT NEW PLOT.) 
like entirely its like lloyd past relationship dynamic with his dad never happened bc lloyd never feels in a way that would make sense for a guy who had a positive and yet EXTREMELY COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP with his father. like come on s4 finale???? the last time lloyd talked to his dad (when he fucking sacrificed himself LIKE HE GOT YEETED THROUGH A PORTAL AND “DIED”)...... they dont bring any of that back. none of the anticipated feelings. theres no emotional logic to the way lloyd feels about his dad coming back. either that or they dont show it nearly enough. like clearly lloyd eventually feels some sorta way about his dad being pure evil and an amnesiac. but I WANT EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE MAN. THEY DONT EVER SHOW IT IN A WAY THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE..... LIKE. SHOULDNT LLOYD WANT.... TO FIX HIS DAD? WHY DOESNT HE TRY. WHY DOESNT HE MISS THE GOOD FATHER-SON MENTOR-MENTEE RELATIONSHIP HE LAST HAD WITH HIS DAD? ALSO MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF GUILT???? BC HE HAD HELPED SACRIFICE HIS DAD AND HE DAD WAS CANONICALLY DEAD? OR MISPLACED SELFBLAME FOR FAILING TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO BOTH HIS DAD AND FREAKING NINJAGO. FOR ANGST REASONS. IDK MAYBE THAT BIT IS A BIT CONTRIVED BUT IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS THERE. I WANTED TO SEE LLOYD ACTUALLY TRY TO LIKE..... REACH OUT TO THE OLD GARMADON IN THIS HUSK OF HIS OLD MAN. I WANTED TO SEE AN ATTEMPT, A FRUITLESS ATTEMPT OF LLOYD TRYING TO GET HIS FATHER BACK. AND THEN DEVASTATION WHEN HE REALIZES HE FUCKING CANT!!!!!!!! THEY COULDVE MADE THIS SO MUCH MORE EMOTIONALLY COMPELLING. BY MAKING LLOYD THE ONE WHO NARRATIVELY CONNECTS THE OLD AND NEW GARMADON. LLOYD COULDVE BEEN A POINT OF COMPARISON TO GREATER EMPHASIZE HOW THE REVIVED GARMADON IS A DIFFERENT MAN. ill stop yelling now.
sighs. s9/10 is like...... considerably less compelling than s8 for this issue..... like not only are they bringing back lloyd+dad drama but also they dont put the right emotions in place for it to Be compelling. its missing so much for it to be... emotionally engaging..... it doesnt help that lloyd isnt my blorbo like they lose me so fucking hard after s8. s8 smacked. s8 smacked so hard and the follow up is disappointing. i was invested in lloyds character arc for once. harumis effect. im biased but im also right. 
anyways this whole thing has been about garmadon but....... also i gotta say. its not a garmadon exclusive problem. this is def a clear symptom of a larger problem of ninjago. how ninjago approaches characters. which is that there is no show/character bible. not a single character has a character bible for the writers to follow. at most they have a single line. a single consistent characteristic. oh god are ninjas inconsistent.
you see its because the writers use characters as they see fit. theres so many times when they definitely decided on traits the characters should have that would be most convenient them to have in the moment. they see characters as tools to drive the plot forward, rather than having characters drive the narratives on their own. and thats BAD. because this way, characters dont have rules in how they behave. they dont have patterns. resulting in conflicting moments! have you ever heard of the phrase "characters write themselves?" well that happens when you have a solidly rounded character. you dont make the characters do what you want them to do. you write characters how you THINK they would behave. you write the situation. and they react accordingly to their characterization. its like a roleplay almost 
anyways ninjago doesnt do that. ninjago is not character driven. so you end up with so much character inconsistency. 
well im not saying the ninjas are like entirely inconsistent. theres is a general pattern they return to. the few basic traits the writers remember they have
like here. heres what *I* think are the only things that the **WRITERS**  have truly set in stone for all the characters. this is not my personal observations and understanding of the characters but the way i think the writers see each character. im a guy who thinks characters are deeper than they are for the record. 
jay: talks a lot/the jokester->annoying 
nya: competent girl. 
kai: arrogant/hot head (the latter is however inconsistent)
lloyd: leader (-_-💢)
zane: robot with that very specific speech style that indicates hes very smart and/or not human (robot.)
cole: CAKE. 
and its evident that these characters are unequally fleshed out compared to one another. and im sorry this might be my bias goggles i have on which makes me automatically analyze the character im most invested in the sort out what their characteristics are but i think jay is arguable one of the most consistent characters. WELL. AT LEAST UP UNTIL I HAVE WATCHED. ive heard things about the studio change.... nya is also def arguably the most consistent. kai is a blorbo too but i know hes one of the less consistent ones and i have proof for this. lemme share a post by a showrunner. makes me so fucking mad. 
Tumblr media
FLUCTUATES?!?!? SURE PPL BEHAVIORS DEPEND ON THE SITUATION BUT LIKE COME ON. THERES SOME CONSISTENCY BENEATH IT SOMEWHERE ALWAYS. okay here. people arent Always consistent. but like. these are characters you know. there should be a reasoning why they behave differently from one situation to another you know? this answer is way too flippant of an answer, it infuriates me. LIKE. UGH IF THIS KINDA OF FLEXIBILITY WAS WRITTEN WITH INTENT AND PURPOSE THEN ITS GREAT!!! IT MEANS KAI IS A COMPLEX CHARACTER!!!! BUT YOU KNOW!!!!! IT ISNT LIKE THAT. KAI IS A FLEXIBLE CHARACTER BECAUSE THAT IS CONVENIENT FOR THE WRITERS BECAUSE IT MEANS THEYLL WRITE HIM IN ANY MEANS THE SITUATION CALLS FOR. THEY NEED HIM TO BE VOICE OF REASON THEYLL MAKE HIM THE VOICE OF REASON. THEY NEED HIM TO BE THE PARANOID GUY THEYLL MAKE HIM THE PARANOID GUY. THEY NEED HIM TO BE AN IDIOT THEYLL MAKE HIM AN IDIOT. they do the latter a lot and i really do enjoy it to be honest its like an incredible charm point to me how fucking stupid he is, i aDore him. ANYWAYS MY POINT IS KAI DOESNT HAVE CONSISTENCY...... if i rewatch ninjago i could fucking cite them better i like Remember the examples that have happened but not accurately when they happened. but i know im right about this.
also with the power of fan interpretation i can take his actions that he has done and rework them in a way that makes an actually cohesively rounded character. WORKING WITH WHAT I GOT. PUTTING THOUGHT INTO HIM MORE THAN THE WRITERS EVER HAVE. AND ILL DO THIS WITH ALL OF THEM. OR AT LEAST THE ONES I CARE ABOUT.
kai is rational and sometimes hes so fucking stupid and sometimes hes like both so like he burns rubber while staying in one place. that part of my interpretation of him thats important to me. s7 kai you think so damn much and yet you make absolutely no fucking progress in your thoughts its so fucking funny and iconic i LOVE YOU YOU FUCKING DUMBASS. i love your fucking arrogance and ego and how thats youre downfall most of the time i love this as youre character flaw. its good. and yet you can be sensible sometimes which makes me think there could be a leader in you if it wasnt for your massive shortcomings. and also i love when you go older brother mode....... if anyone in the team is an elder sibling its definitely kai. literally and also in terms of vibes. its comes with being an older brother. 
anyways i dunno how that spiel happened kais isnt even my most favorite character, jay is. but he is second fav tho and also one of the guys who has a lot of inconsistencies. its late when im writing this section its truly a RAMBLE here
oh speaking of jay heres another evidence of ninjago writing for convenience and honestly its real character writing sin. the fact that they completely removed an entire character trait from him.  they wrote out how hes an inventor. its literally confirmed by the showrunner THAT IT WAS A DECISION THAT THEY MADE. TO GET RID OF AN ENTIRE ESTABLISHED CHARACTER TRAIT. YOU CANT JUST DO THAT. THATS LITERALLY BAD WRITING. YOU CANT JUST DO THAT ITS BAD WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT SHOWS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR HIS CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS NOT LIKE HE WAS BEING DEVELOPED PRE SHOW AND BEING WORKED OUT. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE WAS A MECHANIC FOR LITERALLY SEASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND JUST BECAUSE THERES WERE “TOO MANY TECH PEOPLE” THEY WERE LIKE OH THATS TOO MANY WE DONT NEED THAT MANY WE GOTTA GET RID OR SOME WE HAVE TOO MANY! WHAT KIND OF?!?!?!? WHAT KIND OF FUCKING REASON IS THAT!??!?!????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE SCIFI GENRES GONNA DO THEN. GOD. YOU CANT JUST DELETE TRAITS. ITS LITERALLY CARELESS WRITING. I HATE IT. AND ALSO TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. 
theres a lot of things i could probably reference as evidence of how incredibly irresponsibly ninjago writes characters. they do it a lot. as a guy who love characters, this is hell. and yet i am still here. invested. because putting work into characters is a different kind of joy i guess. LOVE ANALYZING AND INTERPRETING CHARACTERS WHO ARENT THAT DEEP BUT THEY COULD BE. THEY COULD BE. man.
this was mostly a talk about garmadon and character writing huh. oni arc spurred all theses thoughts but it wasnt all necessarily about that hbdgsdk. hm.... i do have more thoughts though..... ive stated before s8 slapped and both s9 and 10 are weaker right? increasingly so like 10 is much weaker than 9. they drop the ball. its one part because of everything i stated above regarding garmadon and characters. its another part because s8 wasnt about dad drama for the fourth time. sure garmadon was part of the plot indirectly. but the conflict wasnt Between them. the plot in s8 was honestly partly a mystery due to the investigative nature for a part of it. and the whole not knowing who the leader was thing. the conflict was against the sons of garmadon. and then when the reveal happened it was between harumi and lloyd built on the lies harumi made. the conflict lloyd had was one that was a personal betrayal. lloyd had to confront that harumi wasnt the girl he liked. that everything he knew and experienced with harumi was a part of a facade. i love this conflict lloyd has because it turned internal AND IT WASNT ABOUT HIS DAD. S8 WAS REFRESHING FOR THIS REASON. LLOYDS CONFLICT DIDNT ENTIRELY HINGE ON HIS DAD OR BEING THE CHOSEN ONE. CONFLICT THAT WAS NEW INTERPERSONAL DRAMA WOW!!!! I LOVE IT. well of course its more complicated than that his dad is definitely a factor in that he is harumis motive.... but heres a thing.... garmadon wasnt involved to make this happen. hes dead. he didnt spur harumi to become a fucked up little girl herself. its all on her. her problem turned into lloyds problem. harumi being cause of conflict is a different kind of conflict that lloyd hasnt experienced before you know? well i guess its sorta similar to morros deal in the sense that lloyds identity made him a target for pain BUT WHATS DIFFERENT IS THAT HE LIKE HAS AGENCY THIS TIME. AM I MAKING SENSE? DO YOU GET ME? DESPITE GARMADON IS A PASSIVE PART OF THE CONFLICT ITS NOT ABOUT HIM. ITS DIFFERENT FROM S9 AND S10 YOU KNOW? 
i feel like the last paragraph was really circuitous. like i think i made it 4 times longer than it needed to be. anyways thats that. but also i think s9 and 10 is weaker than s8 is because.... the villains are boring. the sons of garmadon was a fun antagonistic force. it was basically a motorcycle gang and cult. it was a pretty colorful gang! i love ultra violet especially!!! shes fucking unhinged. harumi is fucking nuts too. these villain had a fun thing going for them. now...... i get really weird... vibes from the dragon hunters..... like its kinda 😬 the way another worlds culture is presented? because the villains of this season is like..... basically an entire population of people. its not a minor group of humans. its basically all the humanoid residents of the realm. and theyre presented as vicious savages. am i alone in thinking this is bit kinda.... hm.... like eventually the show redeems itself and the group by having faith be the one wiser to what is going on (to show that Not Everyone Is Like This) and also eventually making the hunters realize they were living under a fascist regime (its highkey fascism right??). am i taking this too seriously for getting vague xenophobic vibes from this. im not saying that another worlds people all have to be pleasant and nice thats kinda unrealistic and also i do think that the first realm group needed to have an antagonistic force to light a fire under their ass. with the seasons theme i do think both groups of ninjas being “hunted” is fun concept and offers opportunity for parallels between them? its just. the presentation of the hostile group. leaves much to be desired. IVE SAID IT BEFORE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I AM RIGHT ABOUT THAT ACTUALLY. THE DRAGON HUNTERS SHOULDVE BEEN COWBOY BOUNTY HUNTERS....... MAN. A WESTERN THEME COULDVE REALLY WORKED IN DUSTY ASS SETTING OF THE FIRST REALM. THE HARSHNESS OF THE DESOLATE LANDSCAPE. like instead of the villains being presented as savages i think it wouldve been better if they were more lawless and cutthroat. but like a different vibe of it. the western vibes. in my vision of it the reason why the boy would be hunted is because they did something stupid to get a hit on them lol. either that or a series misfortunate events and misunderstandings. tbh finding a way to make the conflict involve the golden dragon armor is hard so i havent thought about it. it doesnt help that it super doesnt fit into the setting/theme. highkey would be easier and like...... makes wus whole thing about something else. but idk what. fixing ninjago is hard work.
anyways desperado faith would be so sexy. cowboy versions of the dragon hunters would fucking smack. theres that
now the oni tho......... i sincerely think. the oni are the MOST BORING VILLAINOUS FACTION NINJAGO HAS EVER HAD. THEY ARE SO BORING THEYRE SO BORING!! NOT THAT MOST OF THE NINJAGO VILLAINS HAVE EVER BEEN VERY COMPLEX BUT GOD. THEY ARE. THE MOST SIMPLEST FORCE OF EVIL. EVER. THATS LITERALLY ALL THAT THEY ARE! THEYRE JUST LITERALLY A REPRESENTATION OF THE DARK EVIL~EVIL~ THATLL BRING ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD. AND THATS IT. THATS IT! WHY DO THEY WANT TO EVEN. THEY ARE JUST DOING IT BC THEY WANNA. NO DEEPER EXPLANATION FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO. WHERE THE HELL WERE THEY BEFORE THEY SUDDENLY APPEARED. WHY DID THEY DISAPPEAR FROM THE FIRST REALM AND WHY WERE THEY ABLE TO COME BACK WHEN THEY DID THROUGH THE CRYSTAL?  theres almost no point in them being sentient even. they could literally be just monstrous beasts and That would be more interesting that what they are. bc at least if they are just monsters then their behaviors can be just easily handwaved. bc they would be animals. NOT SO FOR THE ONI AS ARE THO. NOT WHEN YOU HAVE?? MYSTAKE???? WHO IS AN ONI AND IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE THAT ONIS ARE A COMPLEX BEING. ninjago has Always been very reductive for their villains in that the ninja are Good and villains are Evil but GOD. THIS IS THE MOST REDUCTIVE THEYVE EVER BEEN. NO DEPTH! ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INFURIATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even the skeleton in the pilots had more depth bc they had character traits at least. the trait was that they were stupid BUT IT WAS SOMETHING AT LEAST. also theyre allowed to be simple for comedy reasons. s10 was all serious plot. they dont have that excuse. they are so mind numbing dull i hate the fucking oni. i know ninjago has always seen good and evil as things that can be clearly cut which has always been like. *sighs*. BUT THIS TIME IT REALLY MAKES ME. WANNA. *CHOKES NINJAGO SHOW WRITERS* DO MORE THINKING, FUCKOS.
this is largely my skybound bias talking but the sky pirates was one of the most interesting villains to me. like nadakhan is a good villain. he sucks but also hes like. developed. hes also very threatening. hes an effectively written villain in regards to his villainy. he has all the motives and the personality and like the *gestures* the way he acts. im lacking the words for it. i bet if skybound wasnt written so abjectly misogynistic i would probably call him the best ninjago villain. unfortunately i have to take points off of him for that. i think undeliberate sexism is cheating for villains. the sexism in skybound is definitely 90% because its baked into the writers biases rather than the writers going “hey you know whats really evil? misogyny.” no they def didnt think that. also more than nadakhan i do think flintlocke is the more interesting guy tho. AT LEAST HE IS IN MY HEAD. WHERE ALL THE SKYBOUND THOUGHTS ARE BOUNCING AROUND. 
beyond skybound i think pythor is ABSOLUTELY impeccable as a villain. I LOVE THAT GUY. HES GREAT. AND OF COURSE HARUMI. now i think truly harumi deserves the crown for this. morro is. wait. hang on i think im thinking about the potential morro had as a character rather than the character morro actually is. morro is woefully underdeveloped in reality but! HES STILL SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN THE FUCKING ONI!!!!!! tho gotta be honest. i remember jack shit about the s2 villains. they were extremely unimpressionable. i still do think the oni are the most boring tho. also. what the fuck is that one dudes deal. the... overlord? *checks the wiki* (SPOILERS) WHAT THE FUCK HE COMES BACK IN CRYSTALIZED? also i entirely forgot he was in s3. all my homies hate s3 you cannot fault me for this. bitch got put into a box. he means nothing to me but the oni are still less interesting. nothing can change my mind about this. ALSO THE ONI NEVER EVEN SHAPESHIFTED. THAT MAKES ME SO MAD. AN ABILITY ALL THE ONIS HAVE BUT LICHERALLY ONLY MYSTAKE DOES IT. NINJAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
is there anything else i want to complain about. probably but also i think that about covers it. s8>s9>>>>>s10. however s10>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>s3 still. like dont get me wrong. despite all my bashing s3 is still that bad. its just that as i wrote this i actually started feeling stronger about the way i did for the oni arc dfskhflsdhgiuth. its just like. its undeniable that the quality of the trilogy goes down each season no...? it started out So strong..... but it just gets weaker. its more apparent bc s8 was just that good. bring that quality baaaaaaack
WAIT. NO I DO STILL HAVE ANOTHER THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. I HATE THE WAY NINJAGO TREATS DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like along with characters the writers absolutely use death as a tool. they use is as either plot convenience or for cheap drama. like remember dr julian? they fucking killed him BETWEEN SEASONS BC THEY FELT LIKE DIDNT NEED HIM ANYMORE. JUST LIKE THAT! and i bet thats why they killed mystake off screen too. they looooove making shit happen off screen. i cant believe thats how they decided to write off mystake. the writers dont treat death with any respect. its such a disservice to mystakes character to just get rid of her character like that. like she did a lot. and i feel like. she couldve easily not died if the writers wanted her to. like. she was a fucking oni. they couldve writing her escaping. or at least shown us a nobler death rather than the implied shit that they did. god i was so confused whether or not they killed mystake in that first scene “confirmation” scene with skylor BECAUSE IT WAS SO VAGUE. bc honestly it could be easily interpreted that she was just subdued or captured. but no, turns out shes dead :/ damn ://// hate fucking writing like this
theres that. then theres the fake out deaths. that they did twice in s10. and like. it was so clearly a fake out............ bc you know ninjago is a that wont kill their main characters for good. they simply cant! but they try this shit anyways bc maybe theyll upset some naive kid thatll believe it!! that want their audience to FEEL THINGS so they gonna make it SEEM like they killed cole/lloyd. but the attempt is transparent as fuck. sure didnt get me thats for sure. you see death is indeed a thing that happens in ninjago. but its been shown multiple times that it doesnt stick. thats its either fake or the character will simply be brought back with a handwave (if they are important enough). exhibit: garmadon himself, zane, nya, cole (the fucking ghost thing like. hes a ghost but clearly hes not a true ghost. im not going deeper into this like the ghost thing IS A WHOLE NOTHER THING AND THIS RAMBLE IS OVER 4K WORDS LONG). ninjago is a show that has stripped death of all its meaningfulness. theres that one scene where they killed mr e onscreen too and literally they only did because mr e is a robot so they could get extra violent with him in order to show off this current garmadons brutality ://////. also its so fucking wack that they for reals sent lloyd to fucking ninjago heaven for a hot second. like lloyd was def going to survive that and they made him die for drama but its still wild to me you know? anyways death has no emotional impact value in this show. makes me wish that they just wont use it. not unless if its a death that actually matters and is a genuine threat that can happen to the characters that matter. man.
oh another thing i just remembered. you know how garmadon was on their ship in s10. i wish the writers had remember that literally happened before. or maybe they did but like the way the ninjas talk about it its like never happened and im like. aw man i wish we had a funny call back to that. too bad this show forgets to have continuity sometimes. 
and SPEAKING OF WHICH, okay one last thing that been on my mind for fucking weeks, THE MURAL IN S10 SHOWING EVERY CONFLICT INCLUDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SKYBOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG FUCKING GLARING CONTIUITY ERROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SHOW HAS PLENTY OF THOSE BUT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE MOST FLAGRANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAY AND NYA DIDNT PAINT THAT. AND THOSE TWO ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW ABOUT NADAKHAN. NADAKHAN WAS NEVER RELEASED FROM THE TEAPOT SO NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT HIM!!!!! EVENTS OF SKYBOUND DIDNT FUCKING HAPPEN IN THIS TIMELINE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. anyways in GOES into the fanfic wishlist, a scene in which they didnt! paint skybound on that fucking wall and jay has some fucking Thoughts! and a !feeling! or two about that~!!!!!!! FIX IT FIC EXCEPT ITS FIXING A PLOTHOLE AND IS NOT THE TRADITIONAL FIXIT FIC IN WHICH EVENTS A WRITTEN TO BE BETTER :) but rather its a character study about jay. with optional trauma. maybe emotional turmoil may be not, the way the fic would depend entirely if theres a plot or not. at minimum jay needs to Feel A Way about it...... how nobody remembers the worst days of his life..... you know? i may brainstorm about this fanfic. i really want it. i may never get it. but i want it so bad. if anything should be written it should be this scene..................... SIGHS........
okay i think im finally out of thoughts for this oni arc retrospective that def extends beyond the oni arc. this ramble hit over 4.8k words by the point of this sentence. this took me literally over a month to write bc im busy with school work sdkjfhieurtghkdhflk. WHICH IM FUCKING MYSELF OVER WITH RIGHT NOW BC INSTEAD OF WORKING I DID THIS. but like. i need to accomplish something. even if the thing is entirely useless I NEED IT OUT OF MYSELF AND OFF! MY! PLATE!! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!! HUZZAH TO AIRING OUT ALL MY GRIEVANCES WOO!!!!!! a total of two ppl will read this. and thats great. literally if theres more than two pp who make it to the end of this ill be fucking shocked because this is lterally almost 5000 words of complaining. lightly put it. criticism. anyways i have so much to say about ninjago, its fucking obscene. i feel like i wrote an essay even though it is very much not that, but the feeling make me feel like i need to write a conclusion for this all. conclusion? wish ninjago was a more tightly written show. and final final note? please fucking excuse any typing errors that have been made theres a very high chance i forgot words or wrote the wrong words and i am incapable of catching all of them i certain of this. i tried to read thru but this is like 5k now man. typing more increases the wordcount isnt that fucking crazy. anyways, thank you understanding,
and youre so epic for reading this beast of a review. i am very right and i will not hear otherwise thanks ;p

What are your thoughts on the star trek movies youve seen? I kind of want to watch them since everyone talks about them but the og movies force me to confront that the actors aged (a weirdly specific hangup of mine ahdhdjdjsjs) and I haven't heard a lot of flattering things about the aos..... I guess I'm just wondering if you liked them or not since we seem to have a lot of similar star trek opinions! The aos ones seem bittersweet to me too because spock had such a sad life after the og movies : ( but yeah I was just wondering if you thought they were worth watching!
hi anon! tumblr kept burying this ask they don’t want me to help you but i WILL
i think the aos movies are worth a fair shake. in some ways they’re better than some of the tos movies in terms of pure like…writing quality and such. i know they’re very controversial and to some they may seem like an affront to the legacy of star trek or whatever but. idk maybe i’m just so used to everything lately getting rebooted and remade and sequeled that this really didn’t make me bat an eye. i was like yeah okay. sure.
with the first one it definitely will take you a minute to adjust. for me i had this uncanny valley feeling at the beginning where i was like okay so this is kirk but this kirk is like this and not that, okay, and so on with everyone. but once everyone’s been introduced that feeling sort of goes away, at least for me, and you can just focus on the story. there’s enough source material within the core of the characters as well as references to the canon throughout that you can still feel the energy of the originals but its separate enough where you know it’s its own thing. by the third movie especially you really feel the series start to settle into itself and feel more defined, but it’s a process.
there are definitely some aspects to them i’m not crazy about. uhura’s character seems to barely take anything from her source material, there’s some weird sexualization in the first two movies, and some writing choices are just not that great. but i’ve seen so much bad media that to me these aren’t unforgivable sins. maybe i’m just not as passionate or a long-term fan as other trekkies but i don’t hate the aos movies at all.
if you’re worried about og spock then yes you are going to get a bit sad. and he looks VERY old. his eyes somehow have gotten smaller? but it also is a fun little treat in the first one to be like OMG HI SPOCK!!! so try to enjoy that aspect i guess lol
TLDR i think they’re worth at least trying because some aspects of them are really fun. do it for bones alone. i love aos bones and i dont know why. i hope this helps!!

how did you make friends? this sounds so snarky no i just have no friends and suck at making them. i don't even know what discords i could join to make friends because theyre boring or clique-y
idk i just say stuff to people and it happens on accident. i think with my discord i really did just pin it and people who liked me joined it. i will say that if youre averse to taking risks you wont be good at making friends. you have to be willing to shoot your shot and just talk to/follow people youve never seen before. if theyre weirded out by it and ask you to stop then stop ofc, but most ppl do just take it as you being friendly (if not a little annoying at first).
i reblog posts from people and add little comments or spam rb people with a lot of posts i like. generally if you just use tumblr without restraint (within reason of not sexually harassing, being discriminatory or threatening ppl ofc) youre gonna find Somebody who likes you eventually
**if the people you talk to dont explicitly tell you to stop and get mad at you for not "taking hints" that they dont want you doing that, act like youve broke some unspoken rule by doing so, or they publicly attack you just for trying to be friendly to them, then theyre just shamelessly assholes that are taking advantage of the fact that tumblr incentivises being snappy to people who dont understand stuff instantly and theyre probably a bit ableist anyway so they dont matter dw about them.
ok this goes for irl too: you Will find somebody who appreciates you eventually if you put yourself out there but the right people cant find you if you stay to yourself, and if you ever end up attracting the wrong people consistently then look inward and question why

youre genuinely one of my favorite mutuals! i hope this isnt weird to say, but i feel like ever since your boyfriend broke it off with you, youve been much more lively! from what i know it seems like from the start he disrespected your boundaries and continuously made you uncomfortable. of course it would have hurt a lot at that time, especially with the anon jumpscare and such. but people had, and still have your back!
youve got a really vibrant personality that shows through your text posts about your story – that youve put so much effort into, or you getting excited about computers and robots, or your love for your hometown. ive also noticed that youre really hardworking! when anon jumpscare happened, it would have been really easy to just give up on your project and be all sad (honestly probably would have done that in your place) (would have been understandable, twas a rough situation), but you managed to complete it in time in the end!
of course, you shouldnt overwork yourself, taking breaks to recover physically and mentally is good and you should do it when you can. but i really respect and admire your perseverance throughout it! and i loved your project too! i cant want to see more of what you make!
ive been wanting to try to befriend you for a long while now, i just dont know how to approach you. my typical approach to making friends with my tumblr mutuals is to message them on tumblr first, have a small conversation, ask for their discord, & from there we either continue talking or ill message them another time.
im saying this because i considered taking my typical approach with you, but i dont want to scare you. ive read a lot of what you post within the time weve been mutuals, and can see just how anxious socialising makes you.
i may not be the same as you, but i get anxious too. im scared of saying wrong things too. im scared of coming across as Too weird too! even now, writing to you, im scared! im thinking carefully about what im saying because i just want to be nice to you, and not say something wrong or mean or stupid. im even scared that this ask is getting too long, yet i still have plenty to say!
point is (well, points), is that:
1) the people who you want to talk to but are scared of very likely (unrelated to you) have fears & insecurities of their own, and are scared too.
2) i care a lot about you. i check your blog regularly to see what youre up to and because im interested in the things you say. im a regular post liker of yours.
& 3) id like to be friends with you, but i dont want there to be any pressure. we dont Have to be friends. if we do end up talking and you dont want to be friends just yet, or at all, ill respect your wishes and keep my distance
4) nothing. i just know you like this number
smilesies!
(p.s. im scared to press send, but im doing it anyway! if youre scared of doing something but you know you want to do it, do it scared!)
going to screenshot this ask cuz it’s so nice it made me bigcry actually for real uuuuuuuu ;-; thank you anon a lot
part of the reason i got more active here after the breakup is just cuz i stopped using vent app which is where all this whining posting and such would usually have gone cuz that’s what my ex used and i didn’t/don’t wantt o get contaminated by being anywhere on the same minefield as him and also i think it died which is good. but thank you for liking my presence and personality and being so niceys i relally really appreciate it
i would like to be friends if you want to i really really would like you said though it is Scary but not doing something will only make it worse i think i’m sorry if me being a nervous wreck made you not w ant to message me it’s still ungodly terrifying to get messaged randomly out of the blue when ik’m not expecting it even when it’s nothing but nice and friendly but i do like getting messages and being like thought of so i od n’t mjind too much ultimately cuz if anything i can hold off on replying until the initial panic dies down a tiny bit even if i got jumpscared by it i want to make friends and i don’t want my constant state of disproportionate terror to make that Impossible
bigsmile….thank you anon

hi so um. i don't know if you remember me or not, so sorry if this comes across as weird but... it's me jellybellybaby! i was trying to make a new blog, and put in this email not remembering i had used it for the (very short-lived) jellybellybaby blog annd.. well now i'm here. i just wanted to say 'you can't spell student government without three letters from stupid' meant and still means a lot to me. the summer that fic was coming out and the school year following it were both very difficult times for me, and seeing your updates and writing my absurdly long comments was something that always made me feel a lot better. even if i fell off in writing comments near the end due to said difficult times, i read the whole way through and have come back to reread it so many times both during and after the fic was over. i'll never forget how much joy it brought me, even if it may seem like such a small thing. and now that i'm back on here, i've decided i may as well read the next installment in the series as well! i may not be writing my comment essays and checking every hour for updates anymore, but i still love your writing and it really has impacted me so much. so, thank you for sharing your writing with the world :) it has a lot more of an effect than you probably think
FORMER AO3 USER JELLYBELLYBABY NOW MFENS ON TUMBLR DOT COM!!!!!!!! of COURSE i remember you!!! not only do i remember you, but when i read through old comments i think "man i hope theyre doing alright! they're a cool person!" i am so happy to hear that ycssgwtlfs was able to bring you joy and be something you could come back to, that means the world to me. i want you to know that your comments were a big part of what motivated me to write chapters as quickly as i did back in those days, i always looked forward to hearing what you had to say and enjoyed our interactions in the comments so much. your comments brought me a lot of joy. i hope you enjoy the next fics as well, and i really really appreciate this ask, it brightened my day a TON and now i will be off to write more because, as you have many times before, youve motivated me to get writing :] i hope things have gotten better or at least are looking up, and im happy to have you back :]

i know one place a lot of people go to is ponytown to look for media/source mates, which is what i've always done and just recently took to tumblr and instagram to look as well but instagram is tricky as the kinside is very unfriendly to irls ive noticed, or similar like tumblr and doesnt use the term correctly. personally, im a tommy irl and kinda of just sit around trying figure out how to reconnect with mediamates without seeming annoying lol. so far ive been with drista! and phil and techno, though with techno its tricky since they arent sure if its an ID kin or if it's actually an irl, theyre still figuring that out. and ive got a friend who episodically is techno but it feels weird since its not really all the time but he is sapnap, which i guess is something? not a bad thing tho. i guess i asked bout who youve talked to and how you did it since im struggling myself?
ive always wanted to go on ponytown because it looks so cool but im a little intimidated by it, ill be honest! but yeah, i do wish you luck, and if you ever wanna chat with me, im completely down to chat as well btw!!

ive just been reminded of stuff oh no
if youve read most of my posts since like mid august, maybe september onwards, youll know that i am STRUGGLING rn. while its been all over the place, having highs and lows, i seriously havent been this bad since 2020/21. i know the reasonable thing to do is take a break, but i cant do that because i have pitiful impulse control atm. that being said, the only thing to really stop me is to deactivate. my main blog's been going for years now, so i dont want to lose everything, though i also get the urge to occasionally.
the issue is, the only times i actually feel almost fully comfortable in a social circle is on tumblr and even then im still scared and awkward. my school friends keep saying really hurtful stuff and while a lot of it is just as a joke, theres almost no time to be serious with them. ive tried. i weakly asked them to stop calling everything retarded more months before finally putting my foot down and demanding, although it took a month of 'retard! whoops, i shouldnt say that' before they just went straight back to it.
my family loves me but i dont like it here. i dont think i even can get into it because its complicated. just know ive seen and HEARD a lot over my short life and its finally starting to catch up to me.
as for the other kids in my school, im in an awkward spot. im honestly fairly 'normal', just with slight outbursts from time to time, but ive always been weird so i always will be. oh, year 9 me, how naïve you were. they don't care if you have an autism diagnosis, if you mask or not, you will NEVER be normal, you will NEVER be accepted and they dont care if theres a reason. if anything, that makes it worse.
im only ever happy when im on tumblr or doing something sonic related. on tumblr, im insecure that nobody really likes me or someone's going to manipulate me, with no amount of reassuring being enough to change that. and as youve already seen me say, sonic is 'too childish', no matter how heavy the themes can be.
this always happens. pre-2020, i didnt really use social media much and i was 11 oldest, so my main escape was roblox/youtube. in 2020-22, i was only happy when chatting to friends on discord. that was ruined when we all started to argue and drift apart. in 2022-23, it was tiktok. this was then ruined when popular kids found my silly waluigi tiktoks and started sharing them around. i havent used tiktok since june and i havent posted a public video since may.
but then, last year, i remembered i had a tumblr account. i started to use it more. and then, when sonic got involved and suddenly i was becoming friends with people, i started to feel my absolute happiest. i was euphoric.
until, of course, my brain struck.
if my birthday werent at the end of august, i think i would be much worse than i currently am, because at least i had a short break to be happy. school was off to a bad start from the very beginning. i didnt sleep the night before my first day, nor did i sleep before the second. what's worse, mum didn't let me stop working at the charity shop i had THOUGHT was for the summer, because, you know, i dont have anything on my plate, im able to just have a designated day of the week where i have to be productive. nope! ive had my days off, but ive still had work every week. is it hard? no! do i have the spoons to go most weeks? also no!
thats not to mention exams. ive always been a well performing student and will be surprised if i fail even 1 gcse, but im not the top of any of my classes, not even the ones im passionate about. no, i dont have to be, i know, but when you grow up as a kid who often IS the top of their year in something, the moment you aren't, you feel like a failure. even if i get all 9s and a d* in drama, there'll be someone who gets more than me in something, and i know i definitely wont get all 9s and a d* in drama. i was proud for a moment, for being top of english, until i found out a girl ive known since primary got a 9 in an english language mock. english language. my favourite english and the subject im best at. needless to say, i was miserable. i barely even slept across the course of my mocks and wont be surprised if i do the same for my gcses.
i sometimes wonder if im just not built for the world, which could honestly be the case. because i have low support needs and my biggest problems are sensory issues (which can be easy to prevent) and social problems, i forget im even allowed to be disabled by autism. but i think that honestly might just be the case.
ive always wanted to be a teacher or an animator, hopefully both, but im starting to wonder if i can do either. animator has such a big workload. teacher also has a big workload, but i know because my family is full of teachers and artists that it's the kind of workload i can manage. but the kids? could i control the kids? could they even take an autistic, nonbinary teacher seriously? again, i dont have high support needs, but its hard not to notice im autistic. of course, if everything goes to plan, i would probably start teaching in the 2030s earliest, 2050s latest, so the world will have changed, but how much?
i get most of these are problems out of my control, but i suppose im just scared and tired of living. that's why i make a million posts a minute: i cant get a word in edgeways with anyone else. that's why i get so apologetic: id get ridiculed for trying otherwise. i get that im annoying and boring. i should know. when i was 3, my dad infodumped about back to the future to me for about half an hour and it was such a tiring experience that it still gets brought up. so i get it, it's annoying when all i care to talk about is sonic. but its the one thing i can care about right now. the world is in ruin and i hate being alive. i dont even have enough motivation to act upon any occasional suicidal/self harming thoughts.
but life goes on and there's no way to stop it.

SHSJDJSK OH MY GOD HI ITS ME JELLYFISH (silly text coloring is very fun to me) AGAIN HAHAH - okay so one , oh my god youre so nice WTF AAAH two , i dont have a board in real life because goodness the amount of printer ink id use to make little pictures for it …. the google slide i made was an absolute shitpost (because thats pretty much just how i think LMAO) im really into genshin lore itself and have a handful of “original” (as in ive never seen anyone else talk about em) theories (ive made a slideshow for one of them too —though i must admit it needs a lot of revision— and another is currently in progress) so i have a bit of a knack for “narrative detective work” as i call it LOL . little fun fact here (because im a total a show - off) i actually started seeing yunjin as a suspect around the ball arc ! (official documentation of my suspicion was the 5th of december between chapters 21 - 23 , if i recall correctly) the suspicious bolded texts about their relationship and viktors lie when asked about yunjins whereabouts /REALLY/ set off some alarm bells in my head , among other things . admittedly i never solved these cases a really long time before the main cast finds out , but i think its still a win , yeah ? honestly it was a bit of a shocker to me when it was revealed yunjin was “playing as” viktor , i never really considered that possibility in my head at the time ! kudos to you my friend , youve successfully plot - twisted the detective ! (haha) id totally log onto my actual tumblr account to send you the silly theoryboard i made for another fic because i think its funny to show people but its SO unprofessional and weird so idk tell me if youd like to see it i guess - i hope my unfiltered ranting doesnt bother you lmao , ALSOBEFOREIFORGET ILY2 <3 <3 (/p) BUT IT IS LIKE 2AM RIGHT NOW SO I WILL ONCE AGAIN SIGN OFF !! (note: please dont mind any spelling or grammar mistakes because i inevitably get a little braindead when its so late at night -)
yours truly ,
- jellyfish
HI JELLYFISH NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!
i should've mentioned the google slides board instead of just board because i knew what you meant haha! 😭 and about the running out of ink thing is so true i think if i had an irl corkboard where i solve out a case it's gonna be one hell of a mess...
and wow!!! i like genshin lore a lot but never really have the time to invest in everything since well, there's a whole lot of 'em 😔 it's actually so cool that you write up these digital boards and solve out stuff!! so interesting to see new kinds of ways to spend your free time~
i'm glad you caught on that yun jin was the serial killer around those chapters! i actually did purposely plan to start making her suspicious around the grad ball arc since it was one of the breaking points of y/n and kuni's relationship, so her having a big role in it makes everything more conflicted and wicked. it's a really nice addition to her character lmao
yun jin playing as viktor was something i myself hadn't expected to do ngl. i have no idea how i managed to execute that perfectly but i'm glad i did, seeing everyone's reactions to it is really comical and enjoyable! i love making people squirm! /hj
if you're comfortable with it, then sure! feel free to share that board with your theories on that fic you're talking about~ it'd be nice to see what goes on inside your head (I SWEAR THIS IS MEANT IN A NICE WAY!!!)
also, you never bother me!!! i like getting my inbox full with people interacting with me, so if anyone here who reads this wants to hit me up, then feel free to do so! i'm always open to new anons and friends :D
have a very nice day jellyfish and happy new year's eve / new year's! have a splendid 2023 up ahead 🫶

alright its me being unbearable time as i live blog as if tumblr is a diary entry but heres a day one tlt update. im 34% through gideon the ninth. i had two major sprints where i just read for a few hours and they were broken up with just some bs, but im starting to feel kinda burnt out so im just gonna do whatever else with my night. random thoughts below cause it got too long, but in summary its a 4/5 so far with promise to become a 5
so far i very much enjoy it. i feel like the odd writing comes from such a genuine place and it doesnt sacrifice quality for the sake of personality at all. its not being weird for a cheap laugh. its genuinely intelligent. and i can definitely see it coming through even better as i exit the beginning of the book where theres a lot of confusing explanation and instead were getting to know the characters and themes and setting better. like its finding its stride for sure and im so excited and hopeful that it will continue to do so as we go into the middle--and the end--of the book. hell yeah.
its the kind of thing that i think if id read it as a young teen i mightve not really enjoyed it--but i can say that about a lot of the stuff i like these days and its actually nice to know my tastes have changed. i used to be really judgmental about what was objectively good and what was objectively bad. if i disliked something i just thought it was stupid and valueless essentially. and i think i wouldve taken one look at the style of story that it is and been like no thank you. and i was also kind of dealing with internalized homophobia a smidge worse than i do these days... just a smidge. so its good to watch or read something that your inner child loves, which i did a lot of this year, but its also incredibly rewarding to see how youve changed and consume art in a way that youve grown to appreciate, which i have also been trying to do. the only thing i think i would appreciate as a youth would be the writing structure. like the pace of the sentences as we go from one to the next is so good and just grabs onto my brain and nourishes it like goddamn the flow of each description wow. and for that reason it gives me that same fulfilling feeling i get from reading that i so rarely find these days as i used to ten years ago. so in that sense, it does remind me of being a book obsessed kid so thats a nice feeling too. its like theres a place in this world for the person i was and the person i am and im that person all at once. something something. etc. the writing only doesnt work when something is incredibly confusing and detailed, like harrow being unconscious in... a bone? what. and then my brain just makes dial tone sounds as i try to picture it without rereading sentences over and over and getting sidetracked. but thats not 100% the authors fault.
as i said i dont really do like the overly sassy quippy kinda thing. ill be honest i havent really read many books with narrators like that because its so not been my thing all my life. i cant think of many characters to compare to gideon and the ones i can are just embarrassing to even compare because its not the same at all. but i actually find gideon an extremely interesting character to follow which i wasnt sure that i would. but ill give some reasons as to why. firstly, i dont think shes just there to be funny, she actually has an interesting view of the world and the jokes are more than just sassy one liners. like she just is funny. its not straight up sarcasm. it doesnt feel like a superficial har har moment for easy laughs, but like it actually is just personality in narration and i find that really incredible.
so heres an example i really liked that i think really showcased the flavor thats in the casual narration of even the simplest scenes:
"Gideon went to the chair and fiddled with the fastening, immediately emasculated by the difficulty of working out a simple chair latch."
like its something so simple but makes her feel so real like just using the term emasculated like i really felt that ive used that exact word jokingly before in a similar context i love it. it just screams lesbianism like yessss. this is what i meant in an earlier post when i said i got the feeling that you cant change the sexuality or gender of the characters in this book without losing something because the word emasculated has such a different vibe when a woman says it vs when a man says it. this book is so subtly woven with just the internal thoughts of a gay woman you cant remove it from the story its just *chefs kiss*
and this is an example of good writing i found so smart and immersive in a more action packed scene:
"She smashed the other girl's offhand out of the way and into the wall, scattering loose glass tiles in its wake as it fell: her opponent dropped as though shot, crouched, kicked her dagger up into her hand, and did a handspring backwards down the stairs."
like i can hear this sentence as if shes talking to me its insane and im awed by something so simple but so effective like teach me your writing ways. the italics are not overused like this either which i think is what makes it work so well when it is. like its the first time in an action scene that shes really done this and it conveys it as something different to gideon, something noteworthy. something shes clearly jealous of. im not sure how i feel about the colon, but otherwise just such a nicely paced sentence that says so much about gideon.
one other thing about gideon is that shes so not involved in whats going on currently which kind of shocked me. like for such an aggressive character her arc has been incredibly passive so far. i can feel that shifting, but it was an interesting way to introduce her and i think it was kind of the point as well since thats been her whole life. shes someone who wants so desperately to take up space and make choices but she cant. it works.
i will also say, in terms of romance, enemies to lovers is not really my deal as a dynamic, but so far im loving it because theres not this like irritating pining youd see in straight books lol. like 'i hate her but shes so pretty blahhh' or 'hes so hot as he yells at me' like ew. but we dont really get that. the way that they matter to each other is bad, but its peppered with these subtle moments of them still mattering even if its through hatred. of still thinking about each other constantly without it having this layer of overt romance and attraction that just would make it feel weird and uncomfortable. instead it just feels complicated. so like im very interested to see when we get to a point of a real shift, or to see how the shifts happen slowly over time. and so far i just find that really well done.
also 10/10 for making the book explicitly gay right out of the gate without needing to have there be an outright romance like yesss just let her be gay and find women hot its so fucking refreshing. i dont mind lesbian attraction being tied to relationships, but in a world where like every fucking gay story is about either discovering your sexuality through romance, or only being explicitly gay in context to romance, like yeah just let her find women hot. maybe shell get a romance maybe not but either way its explicitly gay! like take that @ media that thinks their character cant possibly be gay just because they dont get with a woman. like relationships and hookups are not the only way to portray gayness. idk its just really nice??? so thank you tumblrinas you did not lie to me about this series being super representative of gayness like im... incredibly impressed with the level of gayness that oozes from this book, not just in its overt gayness but in its stylistic choices and veiw of the world as well.
something else im very curious about is the developement of harrow as a character. from what ive vaguely gathered harrow the ninth explains a lot of the gaps with her that we dont know here and i find that so interesting to get one characters version of events now and then sort of get more insight later. like im very interested in harrow since the fandom has made me think that shes got a lot of shit going on in her brain so. intrigued cause shes sorta a mystery rn!
anyway i think thats my thoughts for now. so far 4/5 but it will have to keep up to stay there!!! but i do actually see it having potential to be a 5/5. so dont disappoint me now.

Hi Chris! Live action stone ocean :]
NoooooOOOOOO 😭😭😭
God okay jts under the cut its so long i hate it so much
Jolyne is played by chloe bennet who i only know from the stupid powerpuff girls cw thing which would basically end up being powerpuff girls riverdale but i dont think its happening anymore. Anyways someone who is willing to be on the cw is willing to star in this im sorry
Hermes is played by Aubrey plaza who is apparently Puerto Rican so the producers can say theyre trying even though hermes still has dreads and it looks really awkward. Also not everyone sees hermes as butch but since i do and i want to cause as much psychic damage as possible hermes is advertised as very masc but its definitely these vibes
Tumblr media
And it leads to so much discourse about how women can still be feminine and kick ass uwu 🥺🥺🥺. Also hermes kisses some random woman who is VERY MUCH NOT jolyne so they can say they have gay rep. Jolynes bisexuality is completely erased </3
Foo fighters im giving to kaitlyn dever who...i only know as the love interest from dear evan hansen and she probably deserves better than that </3 but anyways shes kind of got a baby face and idk a lot of people love to give that to foo so. Also foo is not nonbinary here and uses she/her pronouns 😔😔😔 and shes probably just some random prisoner since they dont want to spread the cgi budget too thin. Also foo is so so normal in this im sorry shes guy some lady (derogatory) you are not gonna see her doing any of the weird shit she does
Anasui is god i think i have to go for tom Holland who has no swag and anasui definitely needs to be played by someone with swag if you want people to even tolerate him so </3 it doesnt matter tho its tom holland he gets a dedicated fanbase the second the cast list is out and anasui becomes an uwu soft boy. Also hes got short hair now and wears like an actual outfit 😡 i dont even think they would dye tom hollands hair you cant mess up his image at all he needs to he so so marketable so they manage to make anasui as cishet as possible
Weather report ....idk but i want to say oscar isaac? Like its another case of i can definitely see it because no matter how much of a tumblr sanction man he becomes hes still a good actor. I want to say more but its definitely spoilers just know this causes so much discourse and its actually justified
Emporio idk who are the kid actors nowadays??? I want to say like fucking one of the stranger things kids but theyre all like 20 now or some shit. I think instead of going for finn wittock again theyre casting gavin matarazzo because emporio is now the comic relief kid im so sorry
Pucci....hmmm the first name that came to mind was Jonathan majors and like idk i can see it? Which is kind of the problem thats too good i like him and i technically wasted my one good casting card with oscar isaac except not really but also i cant have two good actors here oh christ i thought about don cheadle......no i cant do that to him but like hes actually closer in age to pucci than anyone else coming to mind omg i like don cheadle but omg....idk i cant see it so its don cheadle for pucci
Idk who the fuck i casted for dio and jotaro but like sure theyre probably still the same im not casting the minor villains im so sorry except i think they get andy serkis the weird cgi man to play lane wrangler
Other points
So many orange is the new black references especially if we're going for netflix adaptation vibes and not cw vibes
Kiss has boobs now 😔 so does stand foo fighters now probably 😔😔😔
Everyone looks so boring now but thats a given...i think they give anasui khakis
They probably get a camilla cabello song for the opening and oh god i remembered camilla cabello Cinderella....NO OH GOD BILLY PORTER IS LIKE OLD ENOUGH TO BE PUCCI TOO 😭😭😭 HE CANT PULL IT OFF IM SORRY move over don Cheadle youve been spared billy porter pucci hurts me more...
Anyways!!!
Lots of #girlboss and #girlpower feminism like...think the random shot of all the marvel women in endgame for 10 seconds and then they all lose or whatever its like that like they probably give anasui and weather more fights and screentime but jolyne is men am i right 🤪
Jolysui is canon and it is so so cishet </3</3</3 theyre definitely having a big climactic kiss
Jolyne probably has the whole biker gang stuff erased from her backstory so shes sweet and innocent uwu and its replaced with a father daughter bonding montage so the audience can go awww jotaro rly does care....🥺🥺🥺
Im torn between them making conservative pucci real and or gay and homophobic pucci real...probably the second one and its definitely played for laughs also puccis probably just some guy like this stone ocean is not gonna go off the rails
Jolynes mom still doesnt have a name
