tw: stalking, grooming, pedophilia, sexual abuse, past suicidal thoughts

I've recently been made aware that Dupsy is still talking about me and is now going to random Megamind fans that don't know me and telling them to avoid me. I'm also aware that they're doing this in the Ruby Gillman fandom. I have no words to really describe the level of discomfort this brings me, but I will attempt.

First of all, all the "grooming" allegations were thoroughly debunked and proven to be bullshit. I can't believe I have to even say this. I'm a victim of grooming and sexual abuse myself. It's extremely traumatic and life-altering shit, and never something I would want to inflict on someone else. I feel like it should be obvious, with the measures I took in the server to ensure no child is exposed to such things. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD due to the shit that happened to me when I was growing up, and between processing that in therapy sessions and stomaching transitioning in a near-constant hostile-to-trans-people online social media hellscape, I am tired.

I love Megamind, more than anything, and this is known and obvious to anyone who's met me. This movie saved my life when I was extremely suicidal and planning to end my life back in 2010. Watching the movie when I did gave me something to focus on, a distraction, and a responsibility as a fandom member that helped distract me long enough to get out of the planning mindset I was in. Had I not seen the movie, I do not think I would have stuck around. I will leave it at that.

And moderating fandom spaces for Megamind has been lovely! I adore this fandom. The people in it are extremely talented and sweet, and just so damn nice, like by default. I say this all the time but I've never experienced another fandom space quite like it. There are usually bad eggs in fandoms, and perhaps -I- am said "bad egg" to some, but genuinely this one is special. I have always felt that way, even when the bad eggs show up and make a stink. It has always felt worth being here for, to me.

And while I hate to give Dupsy the satisfaction of knowing they hurt me, I need to be honest-- it's been rough. I stopped talking in my server, I locked up on most of my friends and stopped talking even in DMs. I still struggle with severe anxiety in the server and have talked to Dal on various occasions about transferring the server ownership to him. He's been very patient with my freakouts and super understanding, but it's still hard. This WAS a place I felt safe, for over ten years! And now it feels like any minor can just say I'm a groomer or a pedo or whatever with ZERO consequences, just because they're mad, just because these are words that make people go "oh shit" and listen, and man! It's not ok! And this coupled with the fact that trans people are often called groomers just for existing, just… man! I'm tired. I'm so tired.

There are real, severe, damaging effects to these claims being thrown around so casually. It's hurtful to me, as a victim of sexual abuse, because when I came forward to people about what happened when -I- was a minor, I was told I "wanted it" and "asked for it". It was made to be my fault that I was abused, and I internalized it for years. It nearly killed me. I cannot stress enough how important it is to not use claims like pedophilia and grooming so lightly-- these are VERY damning terms to use on people and should be reserved for people ACTUALLY HARMING OTHERS. Being mad I banned you from the server is not "abuse" and using my Customer Service Voice to be nice to you and then being obviously tired of you when you were banned is not "emotional grooming". What the actual fuck. ALSO. This was well over a year ago! Why am I still having to post about this? Why are you still TALKING about me? And yet again I ask, where the HELL are your parents?

Anyway, if you've been wondering why I've been so quiet these days and struggling to socialize… honestly? It's this. I hate that this is what did it. I know people trust and believe me, I know the fandom backs me up regularly and I appreciate them all so much for it. I see it, but I never know how to respond. You guys continue to make this fandom feel safe for me even when my entire brain is screaming to run, and I appreciate you so much for it.

Kids deserve to be trusted when they tell people they've been hurt and I hate that the recent proshipping discourse or whatever you want to call it, this culty all-or-nothing shit, has a bunch of minors growing up feeling like EVERYTHING is something to call rapey or predatory, with apparently little room to distinguish when REAL abuse is happening to them. I don't blame anyone for believing Dupsy, and it's honestly better they DO believe all unproven claims of abuse by default, just to stay safe-- but man, it has consequences that follow people, and really should not be a thing to just throw around because you're mad at someone. I just can't believe they're STILL going around and reaching out to strangers telling them to avoid me… like, what the fuck.

I will be ok, I always am eventually, but I needed to say something, because it's honestly been a while since I've said much of anything.

Keep being kind. <3

Raph and Don are the best fictional brains and brawn duo because neither of them are exaggeratedly helpless in either area. The moments when Raph is bored or irritated by Donnie’s interests (obsessions) are less painful because of the times he listens and learns. He also gets to be the smart one sometimes, when he sees straightforward solutions Donnie misses or, you know, just a general awareness of his surroundings. And when Donnie needs extra help or protection during a fight, it feels more serious because we’ve seen him fight, we know he’s a formidable opponent and he doesn’t see himself as above the physical work. Also when he gets frustrated with Raph for jumping right in without thinking, we get where the buildup is coming from. The times when they contrast and depend on each other are more fun because they’re alike in ways that make sense. They’re brains and brawn because they chose the roles they like not because either are incapable of being both.

Yzma and Kronk are also the best fictional brains and brawn duo, for no reason necessarily

I’ve found out that there’s megamind 2.

“ignorance is bliss.” Truer words have never been spoken

#sandy blabbles #Megamind #megamind 2 #megamind vs the doom syndicate #i mean like WHO IS THIS?! #The only way this movie is good is that if everything in the trailer is the first 5 minutes or something #And then there’s a twist #Turns out that megamind is an imposter #Literally I’m fine with a rescuing megamind movie over…this #Dreamworks I know you make stuff like boss baby and trolls to fund your good movies but #I never thought you’d do it with megamind #Maybe I should get out of bed and watch megamind #Heal this aching burn with quality cinema

[girlpog]

Megamind would take Roxie’s last name if they got married.

#mainly because he doesn’t have a last name but also because he’s a feminist icon #every time I watch this movie I notice/rediscover a joke that’s like…the funniest thing I’ve ever seen #like did megamind turn into Bernard because he was embarrassed to be in his jammies and not because she was mad at him??? maybe!!! #megamind #shitpost #textpost

[weightywritings-adiposeart]

I wish I could say “oh, dreamworks handles ‘monster’ x human romance rather well” but I know the moment I do someone is going to bring up the bee movie and that would fucking annihilate me

#like listen. Shrek. MEGAMIND. maybe she-ra too #they all got the monster love down #and I am thankful for that #oh and ruby Gillman too but for the youth

[minijenn]

Some of ya'll might be wondering "Jen, aren't you obsessed with Disney? Why aren't you doing Disney movies instead of Dreamworks?"

Uh because there's a fucking metric million Disney movies, duh.

Dreamworks is much more manageable. Yes it means I'll have to watch more actively bad movies but it also means I'll get to watch some fucking bangers too, some of which are even better than certain Disney movies. So in the end, I don't lose entirely (at least until I get to Shark Tale or Boss Baby, I guess, nobody wins anything when you have to watch those movies).

#oh fuck and trolls #jesus i am gonna have to watch so many bad movies please send help #at least i get to watch all three httyd movies again #and the last wish #and the kung fu panda movies havent seen those in a while #who knows maybe some of these movies will surprise me #there are a lot of dreamworks movies ive never even seen like megamind for example #so this could be better than anticipated #jen rambles #dreamworks watch

More ROTTMNT Headcanons:

Things Donnie has said/quoted before:

“Everyone talks about e boys and e girls, but no one talks the e—conomy…American capitalism is a fundamentally flawed system—“

“My morals have crashed like the Russian economy after the collapse of the USSR.”

“Why stop at capitalism? Destroy everything!”

“Somebody moved my M&Ms and now I’m going to start killing.”

“I don’t fear Death, Death fears me! Alright, let’s go!”

“We’re the second worst things to happen to these orphans.” Mikey: What’s the first? “They weren’t always orphans, Mikey.”

“Oh no! I’m shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots!”

“Unlike my counterparts here, I adhere to no such moral obligations nor beliefs, so if I were you, I would start running.”

“Alright Imma head out!” *peace signs and jumps out of plane*

“HE plays 5-D Chess! I play Putt Putt Saves the Zoo! WE ARE NOT THE SAME!”

Also enough of this ‘he’s the smart guy of the group so he’s smart at everything’ NO HE ISNT

Since he was like, 5, Donnie has been hyperfixating on robotics and coding and has been riding that wave ever since. Biology??? History???? Pfft. He doesn’t have time for that!

Although Leo is surprisingly good at history & Mikey is scary when he gets ahold of chemicals.

(Mikey: I learned how to make mustard gas today! Donnie: Good for you, Michael.)

Also he simps for Hatsune Miku and Reigen. You bet he voted for him during the Tumblr Sexyman contest.

And guess who was one of the last ones to vote for Sans and sweep Reigen?

Fucking Hamato Leonardo

And he’s been bragging about it ever since

#also yes I believe donnie strongly loves Megamind and quotes it on the daily #he also maybe grew an addiction to AC/DC’s highway to hell from it #rottmnt #rise tmnt #incorrect quotes #rise donnie #rottmnt donnie #also yes he is a devote follower of Ranboo #I’m sorry that’s just how it is #headcanons #rottmnt headcanons #that’s right #Leo’s a Sans stan #I’m sorry again I don’t make the rules #one day he’s just like #“you got a bone to pick with me donnie? #cuts to donnie chasing him around the lair with a knife #rottmnt leo #rise leo

[royalphantompain]

So there is going to be a sequeal to Megamind, one of my favorite movies of all time, and there is a trailer for it, and ooh boy, is it sure something.

#ghost's pain #LOOK AT HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!!!!! #I mean maybe it is a bit too early to start judging it but like??? #How does the sequeal look so bad compared to a movie released 14 years ago???? #And the voice??? Like uhhh??? I'm sorry to the VA but that does not sound like him at all. #Like Megamind seems so weirdly smug if that makes sense??? Like he was childish but uhh not like this??? #I am just not a happy camper and I can not put into words how everything feels so wrong right now #I need to throw this gif of something I love after seeing one of my favorite movies get stepped all over

THIS CAME TO ME IN A DREAM (and by that i mean i was listening to set it off's partners in crime) supervillain au for wdstf. would it fit their characters, maybe not. would it be fun and hot and cool. Maybe.

Okay, so this is a phenomenal idea, thank you for providing me with such a fun sandbox to play in!! My brain immediately latched onto this and decided that I had to find a way to make it line up with canon. I’ve been rotating this in my mind for like six hours now

You’re right that Ava and Sebastian wouldn’t choose to become supervillains in the traditional sense, because they both try very hard to be good people, but also consider: The categorization of supers into “hero” or “villain” in WDSTF!verse is socially-constructed, and is less about whether they’re actually good people and more about like… Whether their vigilante activity is seen as “acceptable” by the general populace of Zuzu City. A lot of things factor into that (e.g. how much collateral damage is caused, who materially benefits, whether it’s pro bono, and— frankly— how the super in question chooses to present themselves to the public).

You’re also right that a villain AU would be fun and hot and cool :)

So! In light of the above, consider the following as a possible character-compliant WDSTF Supervillain AU Origin Story (below the cut because this became fic-length (1.5k)) (this is maybe not the fun exciting supervillain shenanigans you originally intended but it sets up the foundation for the shenanigans at least?) (cw: angst, fire, very brief mention of dissociation/panic attack):

Ava/Phoenix

After the JojaCo fire, Phoenix disappears, Ava quits her job, and she’s got two weeks where she’s lying around her house, fruitlessly applying for jobs, with no way to contact the only remaining member of her superhero support system (Memento). She’s burned out! She’s frustrated! She feels like a failure, she feels like she’s lost control, and she wants proof that she can do one thing right.

And she goes, Okay, you know what? I deserve to try doing a little hero work again, as a treat.

She patches up her suit and goes out on a solo patrol, and she sees a civilian, and she smiles and waves, in spite of how exhausted she feels, because that’s what she does. She’s used to the civilians waving back, but this one just goes tense and averts their eyes, hurring away.

They’re scared of me, she realizes, her heart sinking.

(She’s not exactly right. The public isn’t quite scared of her— not yet, at least— because she has a good reputation. What they are is wary. Fire is powerful and intimidating, and the JojaCo incident happened only a few weeks ago, and JojaCo’s smear campaign against her is relentless, mostly because they don’t want folks to start asking why they’re allowed to keep so much flammable material in their dumpsters. Memento’s trying his best to defend her, but there’s only so much he can do.)

Later that night, she finally does help stop some minor crime— she stops some guy from robbing a local corner store, or something— but when she calls the authorities in to collect the perp, they totally ignore the robber and try to arrest her, instead. She escapes, but she realizes that no matter what she does, she’s not going to be seen as a hero again.

She’s so burned out and exhausted, and the whole thing just strikes her as incredibly unfair. And she needs control, right now. She needs to prove she can do something right.

And, well, she does need a way to pay the rent.

You want me to be a villain so bad? she decides, hands prickling with heat as she looks over the city. Fine. Guess I’m a villain.

(Because if she’s choosing to be the villain, that means she has control over the situation. That means it was her choice, and that’s a lot easier for her to swallow than the idea that her actions don’t directly correlate to how she’s perceived or treated.)

She does try dabbling in work as a villain-aligned merc for a bit, but she still sticks to her usual set of principles— protecting civilians is a big one— so she ends up mostly working alone. She tries to operate in a way that results in minimal harm, only stealing from large corporations or rich folks who can afford it…

Working as a villain can be a lot more dangerous than working as a hero, though, and perception is everything, right? So she absolutely plays into the villain role and lets people think she’s a lot scarier and more ruthless than she is. (Think Megamind: Very into pretending he’s going to kill Metro Man and take over the city, but never has any intention of actually doing it.) She plays into the villain persona a little too well, and that’s how she accidentally ends up becoming a supervillain.

Sebastian/Memento

So that’s how Phoenix becomes a villain, but what about Memento? For this to work, we’ve gotta remember three things:

1) In addition to heroes and villains, there are also mercs, who are basically contract-work supers. They’re not categorized as heroes, since they’re paid directly for their work, but a lot of them are considered “hero-aligned” or “villain-aligned” because of the nature of the jobs they choose to accept or reject.

2) Memento started as a hero-aligned merc. This isn’t addressed in the main fic, but before the JojaCo fire, he does merc work as a side gig, in addition to his above-the-board freelancing jobs. (The general populace mostly ends up categorizing him as a hero because he does so much pro bono work with Phoenix lol)

3) Memento loves Phoenix.

So when he hears that Phoenix has finally reappeared, nearly a month after her disappearance, he immediately throws all of his effort into finding her and reestablishing contact. He doesn’t care if she’s a villain now— even if she is, she must have a good reason— but he doesn’t even really believe the rumors at first, because the Phoenix he knows isn’t capable of half of the things people say she’s done.

(He’s right not to believe most of the rumors. She’s really playing up the whole villain thing.)

Still, he wonders: If she’s back, why hasn’t she contacted me?

When he finally does catch up with her a few weeks later— in the middle of stealing something from a museum, of all places, and why is she stealing something from a museum?— he tries to talk to her over the PA system, like he did when they first met. He asks what she’s doing.

Phoenix immediately freezes, as soon as she recognizes his voice, then gets a distant look on her face that he hasn’t seen since right after the fire at the club. She’s panicking, her breathing going funny, and that’s when he realizes that at least some of the rumors were true. She really has become a villain.

She’s a villain, and she’s alone, and she’s terrified.

“You should leave,” she snaps, but her voice is shaky. She says should in a way that means, this is what ought to happen, instead of, this is what I want, and is that why she never reached out? Because she knew he’d disapprove? Because she thought he’d abandon her instead of trying to understand?

“I’m not going to do that.”

She throws her hands out. They catch fire. “Don’t you get it? I’m a villain; I’m a bad guy; I’m literally in the middle of robbing the Zuzu City Institute of Art and Antiquities!”

“Yeah, I get it,” he says, even though he doesn’t get why she’s doing it. “Still not leaving.”

She extinguishes her hands. For a minute, it looks like she might cry.

And then he asks: “Do you want help with the security system?”

They meet up, afterwards, at their geocache spot, under the tree on Amber Hill. What good is her civilian identity to her, now that she’s a villain, after all? They spend a very long time just standing there hugging each other, because spirits, they’ve missed each other so much. She cries into his shoulder. He cries into her shoulder a little bit, too.

She tells him everything, and she tries to explain things in a way that he’ll understand. In a way that he’ll accept. He still doesn’t understand, but he does accept it, because he loves her. She’s so convinced she’s a bad person for doing this, but he doesn’t believe that for a second. She’s a good person, so this has to be the right thing to do. Right? (Right?)

He promises to help her with her villain work, despite her protests, because he knows she won’t let anyone get hurt… Aside from maybe herself, that is, which means someone has to look after her. Someone has to support her, protect her, and keep her from self-destructing again. And if aligning himself with a supervillain is the only way for him keep Phoenix safe, it’s not even a question. He’ll do it in a heartbeat.

He holds Phoenix tightly in his arms, stroking her hair, and resolves to pick up some merc work on the side that specifically targets JojaCo. He kind of feels like they deserve it.

Besides, he’s a villain now, isn’t he? He’s allowed to be petty.

(That’s the excuse he’ll use if she ever asks him. The truth is, he doesn’t think he’s being petty at all— JojaCo ruined her life, and he wishes she'd burned it to the ground.)

how does one go about purchasing a stairway to heaven?

After carefully examining the lyrics of Led Zeppelin's (amazingly wonderful) song, I have developed a well-founded (and ingenious) hypothesis.

Of course, the first verse tells us that "there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway to Heaven." Then there's some talk about forests echoing with laughter, "those who stand long" which may refer to immortality, and looking to the West as "my spirit is crying to leave me." At the last there are lines about "a lady we all know who shines white light and wants to show how everything still turns to gold."

All of this has led your favorite Incredible Handsome Heroic Genius to the only obvious logical conclusion... The song is referencing J. R. R. Tolkien's classic fantasy books The Lord of the Rings and the "lady who shines a white light" is the Lady of Light, Galadriel.

So, purchasing a stairway to Heaven is a simple process consisting of: Step 1, find a mythical glowing Elven queen. Step 2, somehow convince her to turn everything into gold. (Maybe you have to make everybody else in Lothlorien laugh? I hope you're funny.) Step 3, use all the stuff turned into enchanted gold to buy your very own Heavenly Stairway made of wind.

Oh, and apparently someone needs to be playing bagpipes while you do all of this.

Good luck with that.

~Megamind

#megamind #funny #stairway to heaven #led zeppelin #galadriel #how are we going to walk on wind anyway? #This seems like an awful lot of trouble. #How do dogs all manage it? #Because you know all dogs go to heaven #Do dogs have a lot of gold? #Maybe Galadriel just likes dogs. #That's the answer #Be a dog

Fic authors self-rec! ✨ When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers (if you would like to)!

adsl;fjadf you sent this forever ago WHOOPS

this is actually weirdly hard? I'm proud of all the stuff I've written, for different reasons. but my FAVORITES. oh man. okay, in no particular order....

Swansong. I poured my soul into this thing in ways that have nothing to do with the obvious subject matter, which is hilarious!

Port of my Call. I was not expecting to write fic for The fucking Punisher, but I wrote this one out of SPITE, and I'm actually quite pleased with how the character voices turned out.

Monotremata. No idea why this one is in my top 5 (and while this list is in no particular order, it shares its position with long as the day in the summertime). Maybe because there are a lot of feelings, plus cuddles, plus care, plus communication? Also I think this is the first one in which I have Roxanne or Minion express love towards the other verbally, but don't quote me on that.

Wake Your Sleepy Soul. I want to say this was the first soulmate AU I wrote. I was not expecting to enjoy writing soulmate stuff AT ALL, let alone as much as I did with this one!

With Every Heartbeat I Have Left. It was very nearly Mischief, and then very nearly Into White, but I think Heartbeat has to be the last one I include in my top 5, if it has to be just 5. I wrote Mischief in 38 days at a dead run (it is a MIRACLE I didn't kill my wrists all over again), with only one scene even slightly pre-written (I stole a bit from the draft that eventually turned into The Job that's in Front of You), and I'm really proud of that......and Into White started out as fuckin TAGS here on TUMBLR and it became probably the softest thing I've ever written, and I love that. But Heartbeat, man. Heartbeat carried me through a nervous breakdown and a shattered hand, and it is both soft as hell and desperately angsty, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

A lot of what I write turns into like.....two-act fics? Idk, but I think the stories hit a point where you're like, okay, surely it ends here! But nope, there's a whole extra fic tacked onto the end, because (1) I can't leave well enough alone and (2) I'm not trying to get published. I went around and around and around with Heartbeat, trying to decide if I should cut it at Chapter 13. And I dunno, maybe the story would be stronger if I did. But it wouldn't be as complete for the characters, and it wouldn't leave ME alone, and if I made it be a separate sequel fic, I would never actually finish it. So. Shrug emoji, you get long-ass fics that maybe should stop while they're ahead.

Not sure why I'm detailing all that in response to this ask, but whatever, it's half one in the morning and I'm loopy af <3

#friend bug #askbasket #swansong is really funny because a couple of reviewers have just kinda ASSUMED i was working through grief??? #and like....uh. no. i'm so sorry. that actually is not a thing i'm struggling with at all. but thanks for playing i guess lmao #cold fusion is not on the list because......well. #it isn't done. and i'm anxious about that. #And Florigenesis isn't on here either because.............ok LOOK #it is tropey nonsense that i wrote because other people expressed interest in the premise #not because it spoke poetry to me #don't get me wrong: i did WANT to write it #but that was one i did not write for me #i had fun writing it! i like reading it now that it's done! #but it's not MY favorite lol #dal is a fanfic #megamind #oh also for swansong i did the poetry translation in chapter 18 myself. there are some nuances to soneto diecisiete that like #idk maybe i am getting COMPLETELY wrong as a not-very-good spanish speaker? #but they seem So Very THERE to me and i just DON'T ever see them in translations!!! #including one that is usually translated a couple of different ways by professionals #neither way i particularly enjoy #so like. i had to. whatever. #but anyway i was also proud of that. #and wayne's cakes.
