i don’t like the idea of people calling fics and people who read them “delusional” since you’re hopefully engaging with it purely as an act of fiction. i think it’s okay to have celebrity crushes, especially if you’re in the same boat as me (trust issues, but i can indulge myself in the idea of a relationship when it’s something literally impossible). i think it’s okay to write/read about them as long as you aren’t crossing that line into thinking its real.
you can daydream about being held by someone without expecting to be a reality. you can read reactions of having your first kiss with someone without thinking it’ll happen someday with that exact person. fiction is something comforting to a lot of people, and sometimes using someone’s likeness (like i and other writers do) can help. i don’t claim to be writing the “real” svt or trsr or anything because i don’t know them. i gauge reactions based off what they’ve shown us of themselves.
i think it’s genuinely fine to engage with content like this as long as you’re separating fiction from reality. basically i feel like i’m writing ocs that are based off the public personas we’re shown. i can feel safe while writing these things because i know they’re not really going to happen. maybe other people feel the same way, too, or maybe they just want to escape from reality for a bit via a free medium. nothing wrong with that.

Dam being a Jason Grace stan in the fandom is a fucking tragedy lol. Not only do we have to deal with him being screwed over by uncle Rick, but we have to deal with the fandom hating him aswell lol, i feel like Jason Grace slander wouldnt affect me half as much if his character had gotten a happy ending. I just saw an Instagram reel about a "character's povs you skipped through'' and the comments were flooded with Jason Grace just like I'd expected lol 😭 like blud has no mercy there.
It took all my will power to not defend him under a comment that called him "homophobic", I cannot believe that comment had 4 people agreeing aswell like- did we read the same books? Did they completey skip over the coming out chapter in HOH where jason was literally the first person to tell Nico not to be ashamed of liking guys and that no one would judge him? the guy is legit one of the least problematic characters and does nothing mean, how is he even CONSIDERED in the homophobic area anyway? (he also gets slandered for being "too nice" aswell lol) so seeing him wind up in such a contradictory accusation just screams tone deaf and anti-jason bias tbh, Nico legit said he considered jason as one of his first friend/supporter (apart from his sisters) in TSATS :') its like ppl keep throwing in these false stuff bc they WANT to find a reason to hate him. (dont take this as me saying you are not allowed to hate him or something cuz that would be quite hypocritical of me, wouldnt it? i just hate that ppl make up problematic hcs of him and push them as canon, it would taint non-reader's perception of him because of false info, what if a non reader stumbled across that comment and immediately figured that jason was indeed homophobic even when he wasn't?)
Also, can we please normalize NOT judging a person for their character preferences? I like jason and i am aware that its an unpopular take, but that doesnt make me any less of a pjo fan. The fandom seems pretty aggressive when we dont follow the popular opinion. i have seen multiple ppl pretend to hate jason simply bc they WANT to fit in and "look cool", since the fandom has a tendency to use Jason as a punching bag to insult like "he's a knockoff percy" or "he thinks he's so cool but he's not". or smth, so when people do claim jason as a favourite, a huge chunk of the fandom start belittling them and go like "really? Out of all characters, why jason?" Or "Percy/Leo is better, I don't understand why you like Jason"
okay thanks for coming to my ted talk. i am aware that i was yapping here. unfair Jason Grace slander does that to me.

Look I dunno what this Daminika shipping drama is all about. (I followed you because I like your Rayllum art).
but it's not a cool thing to do to share stuff calling Jon Kent/ Damian Wayne ship "pedophilic yaoi". sounds homophobic.
We should only call the actual crime of pedophilia that and not use the word like a petty insult. Also all this rage gave me the impression that Jon/Damian was like a super twisted ship or something but I googled it and they are 17 and 13 y.o. which would be weird irl yes but that's still literally not pedophilia. they are both teens and people draw them looking the same age in fan art anyway.
If you are not in the dc fandom then maybe don't speak on something you think you know.
But it's not a cool thing to do to share stuff calling Jon Kent/ Damian Wayne ship "pedophilic yaoi". sounds homophobic.
Damian and Jon always have 3 years age gap, even before dc age up Jon, they are like 13 and 10, And after age up(Jon is stuck in space had lived through years and is back on earth) they are now 14 and 17. In most of the fan art, you see people who draw them looking the same age pre-age up, because Damian is really short at 13. And people started to ship them when Jon is 10 year old child. You don't date a child when you're a teen, or date a 14 year old teen and being a college student, that is weird.
In the current comic Jon Kent has a boyfriend-Jay Nakamura(Gossamer) whom he met in college and still happily dating.( then there are racist thing ppl would said about Jay on twitter just bc he is a Japanese character and the other shipper use that to attack him too bc they doesn't like Jayjon as a ship )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-[Action Comics v1 1059 (2024)]-Artist: Marguerite Sauvage-
As an asexual, I mostly headcanon Nika and Damian as nonbinary and asexual. And a lot of the ppl who like Daminika see them as trans for trans too.
You said you followed me for my rayllum art. So you don’t know what the characters I’m talking about, have been drawing about in dc fandom. In my previous vent post is referring to the weird age gap ship, and the maturity of different ages and mentalities when characters are being ship together. And that ship's shippers + incest proshippers are being misogyny towards Nika relentlessly. It's not about against mlm ship, or being homophobic like you claimed.
Maybe you are young and see the fanart and can't think clearly what the issue is. That I can understand, because a few years ago(when I was young and dumb!! and didn't/unable to use my brain to think clearly!!!) I used to think the weird age gap was nothing but now I'm looking back and regret the weird ship I used to ship and draw (Toph and Sokka), I don't ship them anymore + Suki x Sokka superior!!
I have deleted some of Toph and Sokka art and the remaining ones have changed titles and tags to platonic sense. I didn't delete them all because they are still part of my (dumb and reckless!!!) art journey and the things that I'm now getting over and will not ever draw as a ship again.
Which would be weird irl yes but that's still literally not pedophilia.
You admit that would be weird irl and yet tired to dismiss me when I express my uncomfortableness and wanting those ppl to leave the characters(Nika & Respawn) I care about alone. If you are the type of proshipper that says fictional doesn't affect reality… then stop talking to me + invalid opinions‼️ (don't affect reality?? Of course it is! You are a person in reality who argues with me about fiction and conception/representation that affect all of us)
Like I said in my vent post, I never want to interact with them and I don't go into their page or cross ship tags and comments on things or anything related to their ships before. And this is the first time I have spoken up and tried to defend Nika here on Tumblr. Because I'm the only one constantly making contents about her and love her as a character and the only person here on Tumblr who wants to talk about/express my love for her through my art for nearly three years.
And I can't speak up when they want to tools Nika and Respawn for their own ships and set them up as toxic made up characters in their head?!? And I should let that kind of blunt lies disguise as "playful! fun even!!" fanon and let it slip and damage Nika and Respawn's character!?!?? And let that MISOGYNY energy towards Nika fly into fanfic further misconception both of their character and personalities?!??? Similar things that had happened to Talia being constantly demonized through racism and misogyny by fanon?!?!?? A reappear theme by shipper/yaoi incest proshipper tools her as a bad Asian mom to make a sad and twisted background for Damian to need to be protected by the characters they ship him with?!??
Not all of the shippers/fic writers do this but still, I'm meant by the misconception fanons that spin out of control… then SOMETIMES THE ACTUAL COMICS WRITES(different ones/weird ones) WOULD MAKE IT CANON AND DAMAGE THE CHARACTERS‼️IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE‼️‼️
I know the shippers and the fandom will always be there because of the internet. And I can't control it, so I set up boundaries now by speaking up and defend my favorite characters while I still can.
You can comment under this post if you still disagree with me(unless you're a proshipper then stop interacting with me‼️), and don't hide behind anonymity before you understand what I'm talking about and don't twist my words for your own comfort.
(Again, sorry if you are not in the dc fandom and catching strays of my discomfort and anger. But I love Nika too much so I had to speak in my page)

not being in the sims community for a few years (computer problems, couldnt play) and then coming back only to see so many creators have their cc behind paywalls sure was a shock tbh. i dont blame ppl for having patreons for their cc in general, ive seen plenty of creators have patreons with all their cc for free; becoming a patron being just an optional way of supporting them. plus, im pretty sure patreon has unlimited space, so ig itd also be a good idea if u dont have/dont want to use sfs or other unlimited upload sites (also posting pics with the files is a plus)
some ppl tho are like, wild. ive seen ppl charging 20$ a month and only releasing like, at most 3 patron only things per month then complain abt their stuff being shared for free.... like, youre selling 3 items a month for 20$, which is the same price as the base game when it isnt on sale. plenty of ppl already dont pay for the game itself, do u think theyre gonna want to pay the same amount for 3 things??
yeah nonny I'm in the same boat, it was so shocking for me to come back to this lol. I never imagined this many people would have patreons. I think it wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't almost everyone. But here we are lol.
I remember when patreon tiers were $1 and you got access to everything. When I first saw someone with $3+ it was the most expensive I'd seen for maxis match early access cc, and it really wasn't worth it for that creator. Now it seems like so many people are $5 minimum??? And sometimes you don't even get access to everything? The cost has increased drastically and more importantly- the quality isn't there.
I've had a few items that I downloaded when it became free and tested in game and went, "thank god I didn't pay anything for this". Lack of LODs or proper maps, high poly, holes, improper weights, etc. All of this to me is fine for purely free cc (as long as there's nothing game breaking). But to me, for paid cc, early access or exclusive, is unacceptable. And there is no way to know what you're going to get, and if there's a problem, you're out of luck. It may not be fixed, and you're certainly not getting a refund.
And then there's the issue of the tiny mesh edits. I know for a fact there are many people, if they knew how simple the edit was, they would never pay for certain items. I am not paying anyone for 5 minutes in blender. I would honestly rather pay for a recolor than a lazy ass mesh edit. That's more time and effort than making a hair two inches shorter. You don't even have to edit the texture, just make hat chops, and sometimes not even that! I have literally made certain hairs in under an hour and I'm not even that experienced! Separated the werewolves stuff in around the same time. I made the necklaces I posted recently in a couple lazy afternoons, like ten minutes per. Of course it added up since I did so many at once, but nickel and diming per tiny mesh edit? The ratio of time and effort vs payment is ridiculous. There are so many talented creators that do amazing work that takes days, weeks, etc for free. And there are talented creators that do really awesome items for early access as well, that seem worth the money. So when I see that sort of cheap tiny edit thing... it feels like these creators are taking advantage of the consumer that may not know better. It's embarrassing.
If that $20 was for 3 things that took the creator 5 minutes each to make, wouldn't you be even more upset? And then imagine that creator has hundreds or even thousands of patrons. And doesn't contribute anything to the community other than paid content. No interaction, no gameplay, no chat, never existed before popping out of the womb with a patreon. It's insulting. Is this community just a cash cow? And people wonder why we're all so tired, even if it's following EA's rules.

If you're comfortable, can you tell us how your aunt fist fought a literal gang and won?
ahahah you asked a good one :))
so my aunt is the second oldest, and the most violent one of the family (ppl in my mom's village literally steer clear of her when they see her walking on the road), and i think this was when she was coming back home from a friends house/college, she didnt specify that, but she did say it was in the afternoon on a summer day and she was alone.
so for context, my mom's village is this really remote place near banaras where robberies, murders and whatnot happens frequently, so its common for people to walk around with knives or guns. my aunt, my mom and younger uncle carried knives, while my other uncle (the oldest) carried a gun.
my aunt, in very simple words, has anger issues. and these gang members followed her, eager to rob her because they hated my nani (because she'd been the one who sent their leader to jail). so my aunts walking down the road, alone, and these gundas are following her. she notices and grips her knife in her bag and almost swings it at them when she hears one of them say my mom was hanging out with a rich boy from the city (the rich boy in question was my dad), and basically insulted her honour.
my aunt sees red and turns around and says she'd like to fist fight them. unless, they're weak little boys who only rely on guns for strength. the men agree, because cmon this puny girl insulted their pride. my aunt in a fight is a feral little thing, she screams, punches, scratches and completely scares you. half of my own fighting techniques are what she's taught me.
now the thing is, she won because she cheated. she said it'd be a fair game, just their fists, no weapons, and she did fight like that for the first few minutes, until she took out her knife and stabbed them all, alerted the neighbours about the ppl so they'd go to jail and ran away to home.
so she's told me why she cheated, because she's not a man with a fragile ego that'll get hurt on being labelled a cheater. she's a woman, and since women aren't physically more powerful than men, they have to use their brains to win. which means cheating.
so yeah she's an icon, and the mother of my favourite cousin, the 23 year old who somehow got the four to five bottles of petrol.

VICTIMS?! You're all fucking delusional. We are the victims of your trolling, swearing and bullying.
Blurry is a character and swears and trolls and bullies. I have done none of those things other than when I reacted poorly to John being a freak. I called him the F-slur and blocked him. I was just really uncomfortable because I thought we were pals and were just chatting casually. I always stayed quiet about the mod issues and just continued to joke about what was happening in the roleplay.
Which was John, Mycroft, and Harry, roleplaying on OOC posts. After John said this was a case for the followers to solve, or something. That was weird, when he said multiple times that he wanted to not be part of it, or something.
So Blurry joked about what was happening in the roleplay. As seen above. I have stayed silent about the mods out of respect but they have involved themselves countless times, for some reason. I don't know why, because if John literally just blocked the ones speaking out, most of his followers wouldn't even know the drama? No one was messaging HIS followers to "expose anyone" so like. dude. block and move on.
i dont know what sherlock did when he was, messaging people (i dont want to say their name as they have requested to be left out of it ect ect, but for that it looked like only 1 person, idk) that day? but since then he's been silent. so if HE was doing something wrong that day, thats one thing, but he literlaly gave up and has been silent since. compared to johns MULTIPLE things lol
except for like, when he posted telling john and mycroft to leave him alone. so that shows more that John and Mycroft are the ones doing harassing, sherlock look3d like he was teying to move on after reciving shit news of being replaced. the day OF he wasnt because we all think he literally wasnt told, like john said he was.
because again, he was freak3d out that day, then LEFT. that doesnt sound like someone who knew and is trying to, start drama. thats someone who didnt know, has some kind of episode bc theyre shocked or something, then leaves to recover.
so no i dont think ive bullied anyone, i have stayed silent out of respect to the mods, not the characters. i dont think im a victim to anything other than john being a crape lol and when i say that, i dont mean he is a creep harassing me, i dont want anyone to think im accusing john of anytjing he DIDNT do. he's just an asshole, not a "creep". crape is just a quick insult to show someones being weird.
i really think john should leave greg sherlock (and now me? lol) alone. this action hes doing only prooves he's toxic and if his viewers dont like him, it's from his reaction and showing his toxic side.
if he never said anything ab it, or at least made 1 post like "yeah no sherlocks gone whatever new content to come soon" i dont think anyone would have cared??? but everyone reacting now is reacting to what he's actively doing.
also uh, thinking,, yeah the thing sherlock posted. why is john harassing sherlock still after he kicked him out?
and if john, who claims told sherlock and sherlock knew, why did he go an apologize the next day or something about roleplaying with another sherlock? something about jot knowing itnwould cause harm, like if sherlock KNEW you were replacing him, why would that hurt? it hurt bc sherlock didnt know. 💀
basically every move since sherlock left has just been john showing he is the toxic one. sherlock has been quet and wanted to be left alone. doesnt sound very toxic, of sherlock, mmm?
also im not sure why sherlock reaching out to someone was bad anyway and he stopped after that perosn told him to leave him alone. know who has been reaching out to MULTUPLE ppl? John. who has been told to leave them alone? john. know who kept messaging people anyway? john. johms doing all this activities that everyone thinks sherlock was toxic for (for their 1 time they did it, compared to johns multiple?) a mistake is once or twice. manipulation is repetition lile john is doing.
also "we". John, Harry? Which is it, I told you both to leave me alone and blocked you both. Stop contacting me, please. fucking freaks, dude.

I have a genuine question, why didn’t you just message the artist from the beginning? Like I understand where your comment came from but I feel like fandom is supposed to be fun and if you genuinely felt a micro aggression from their art you could’ve educated them. The reason people are hating is because of how you personally handled the situation from doubling down to not taking peoples criticisms seriously. I think if you weren’t interested in talking to the artist why bother posting the art? Maybe make a text post to gripe instead of including the actual art. You’re blog is your own and you have a right to your opinion on your own blog and yes their art was cringe (although v cute style!) BUT it’s better to be cringe than mean. And I say this as a follower of your art and not a hater but some of the twitter replies you left were mean and unnecessary. I think that you got dog piled enough and don’t deserve all this negative attention but I think that people are struggling to see your remorse in the situation because you keep replying and restating your og opinions. Anyways I hope this dies out for both you and the other artist, seeing all this hate can’t be good for y’all’s mental health.
i didn't message the artist from the beginning because my comment wasn't a callout post. there was nothing wrong with the art, it wasn't a microaggression or problematic or whatever. i said a pretty mild thing about their art on my own twitter specifically so the artist WOULDN'T see it because it wasnt constructive criticism, it was literally just me noting that i didn't like something. going to the artist and being like "HEY I DON'T LIKE THIS THING" would have been pretty stupid and pointless, which is why i made a separate post. but fsr this was taken as condemnation of the art/artist or me calling them evil or something?? i dont get why my opinion on it even mattered or why that shit blew up the way it did
and no im not remorseful about what i said, i didnt say anything wrong. my regret is that by posting publicly and having that many people share it, my post got around to the artist as well which i definitely didn't intend. ive since deleted the tweet and spoken to them to apologize and clear up any hard feelings. so yeah lesson learned, if i ever have a thought about anything i should just shut the fuck up or talk about it privately. but for real ....like........... it is Not that serious. i didn't say anything particularly mean or hurtful. there are a ton of ppl who directly messaged and qrt'd the art saying way worse shit than i did so idk why im the one who got dogpiled like that lmao.
i think if i actually said something insulting or genuinely rude id be happy to apologize for it or wouldnt have said it in the first place. but yeah no shit i was being mean to the hundreds of people severely overreacting in my replies lol. i dont think i really owe anyone an explanation either other than the og artist, since they're the one actually affected by the situation, and i've already done that. so im moving on. this is a non-issue

☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you? / ☀ What’s your rp pet peeve? / ☁ Have you ever forgiven a partner when you shouldn’t have?
Tumblr media
//Spicy Goopy Time
I think the following ways for an instant unfollow or block is that isn't in my rules:
1. Posting an opinion or supporting an opinion that ridicules criticism while also being critical yourself or supporting someone that does? It's super hypocritical, but I can get how people can get suckered into wanting to defend their content creators/idols, so at the same time I give a little bit of slack before a block. It just makes someone come off as really stupid or just someone that shouldn't be looking at opinions or 'actual criticism' who can't tell the difference between actual harassment on the internet, of all things. I think I see this happen with Vivziepop or her fans that defend her along with Vtubers the most in any rpc/content fandom at this point, but I usually have her tag/fandom tag muted and I only glance at twitter so yeah. They can have their opinions, Vivziepop/Vtubers too, but in the market place of free ideas? They just come off as really weak when coming at it from a dismissive angle rather than defend your points or actually engage if you decide to approach or just simply tell someone to fuck off if directly given to you, yeah. Mostly because if it isn't worth responding to? Then why even go as far to point people out is my thing? It's the paradox that you don't care but do care actually to the point of wanting to put things down rather than explain it, unless you have to, it comes off as insecure, but nuance I don't expect ppl to get it and it's fine, etc, it really depends as if you were dead on straight asked a question that was critical? I think it'd be fine to just say 'Yeah I don't care, this opinion/topic is worthless to me', then just move on lol, I would have INFINITE more respect for someone saying that and showing a bit of backbone rather than hiding behind any justification or their fans. I don't think I have anyone in my feed like that remaining to the point where I notice it on dash. As I have anyone like that get blocked as I can tell the difference between an opinion and then someone being just 'like that', and anyone who follows me for a while knows that I will just say what I feel like and know I'm rather neutral on the matter regarding for or against those I mentioned prior, I just have a deep annoyance for this mentality. This might just be a culture thing tho? My family and people I tend to gravitate toward ppl like us/different cultures, that are similar bc of it talk very directly and we see it as insulting/weird otherwise for us anyway.
2. Someone that is too 'soft' in how they react or too 'cold' or too 'cruel' in how they treat other people. I try to be balanced so I don't expect anyone to be perfect tho. I tend to just ignore these types but let them follow me, granted I will say that if I don't follow back it's not bc of that lol, I follow primarily on interest even if slight. I interact with all types of ppl regardless.
-
I suppose someone who doesn't pull their weight in an rp and just monologues. It takes two to tango and so long as someone's pushing it forward, or making even a slight effort to throw something new on the wall? I greatly appreciate it and I tend to favor those rpers the most. As it doesn't even need a defined direction, but passive rps are literally the bane of any rper to keep an rp going with someone and a common mistake.
-
I can't recall so probably no. I tend to close my walls when I've determined they've gone too far. And I've always been right in that assessment as I've been hurt a lot irl by ppl, so I know what to look for usually, even if the person in question isn't outright malicious whether intentionally or otherwise.

you dont want to talk about things when you know its problematic. sorry but youre 30 and you just let ppl insult others for you? black stans all think aemond deserved it but you dont want to look bad so you let others do it for you.
I'm gonna answer very clearly to this, anon, both for you and anyone else thinking the same thing. I will not answer a second time, so take the time to read it, or don't, but if I get another message like this one, I'll delete it. So I suggest you do take the time to read it, and to understand it.
Point #1:
I do talk about things even when they're problematic, even when it comes to characters I love. But our definition of what's problematic is probably not the same, since for Greens stans I'm automatically someone who is problematic herself. I've never whitewashed my favorites characters or ships, and since you're talking about HOTD: I never said that because there's a right side, said side didn't do anything wrong. I even said Rhaenyra was a tyrant, because it's the truth and everyone who has read Fire & Blood knows what she's done during her reign. Just because she's one of my favorite ASOIAF characters doesn't mean I think she was a really nice person and a good queen. I guess that's why it bothers me when I see comparisons to Daenerys, even though they have parallels, because unlike Rhaenyra, Dany is a hero, not a tyrant.
Point #2:
Not all people who are team Blacks think Aemond deserved to lose an eye. Some people did say it, yes. Just like some people said that Luke deserved to die, or to have one eye removed too. But that doesn't mean all people who are team Greens think that, either, and I'm not gonna accuse every Alicent stan or everyone who loves Aemond to have been delighted to see Luke die. It's called common sense to realize that not all people, even those who agree on many things, do not share the same opinions and feelings on literally everything.
Point #3: I don't let anyone answer for me. I answered about a scene and doesn't feel the need to repeat myself or to talk about one scene to death. People who disagree with me are welcome to disagree, but there's no point in telling me again and again that I should have a different point of view. If we're not gonna agree, we're not gonna agree. Why should I argue with someone for I don't know how long about the same thing? So we can both end up losing our calm, be rude and insult each other? I'm not interested in doing this.
Point #4:
That being said, everyone has the right to comment my posts, add text and/or tags when reblogging them. I haven't seen someone saying something I don't agree with, but they also have the right to speak for themselves. If I don't agree with what someone is saying, I'm either letting it go because as I said, I'm done with this discussion about that scene, or if it's something I'm absolutely revolted by, I'll unfollow them (which didn't happen). So yes, you can assume that I agree with what's been said on the reblogs of my posts, even if I didn't confirm it.
Point #5:
Yes, I'm 30. And? If you look at most blogs around here, it's rare to find an age, or a name. I'm one of the people who say their name, their age, their nationality and their gender. I like that people who talk to me know how they can call me, know they can speak french if they want to, know they're not screwing up when they use she/her pronouns. I also added my age because I like people to know a little about me. Many people really want to be anonymous on tumblr, but it's not my case. The point is, you have absolutely no way of knowing the age of those other people you mention. They could be older than me for all we know. You seem to be under the impression that they're all children and I'm responsible for them, but I'm not their mother. This works the other way, too. When I reblog a post, what I say and how I tag it is my responsability.
Point #6:
This one is actually for my followers and those who reblogged my posts. I didn't read anything I do not agree with. It could have been the case, but unless I missed one (because I did read what you wrote), you can safely assume we're on the same page. You haven't done anything wrong, and it's not your fault if you're being compared to children or brainless people who just follow my unspoken order to go after others. You're being insulted too in this message, and it's not okay.

*cocks gun* give us the essay on the bad ships. Or talk abt his good relationships if you prefer (ppl really do refuse to take the shipping goggles off fr)
i will do BOTH
however i will talk about his positive relationships in a second post so people who don't want to see the entire salt mines i contain about this can still get the good content. because i am about to be an unrepentant hater.
so. from the information i've gathered, there are four 'main' raiden ships that people seem to split up between. (there are more minor ones but they all suck too and i don't want to talk about them because many of them venture into the downright horrifying.) those four ships are with the following individuals: rosemary, solid snake, vamp, and jetstream sam. now, when it comes to ships, i go in for the ones that are healthy and don't completely butcher the involved characters, so if anyone's reading this who doesn't give a shit about that then i guess this post won't mean anything to you. this still applies if it's a solely physical relationship--'friends with benefits' still involves them actually being, y'know, able to stand each other, and 'hate sex' as a concept is just... no thanks. plus even in those cases a lot of this kind of thing would still require completely ignoring the characters' actual personalities. not for me, thank you!
bonus points in this particular case because raiden already has so many awful, toxic relationships in his life and i simply do not see why anyone would feel the need to add more. anyway, time to actually get into my complaints. i'm not going to be super tactful about this. or tactful at all, really. you've been warned.
i have talked about the rose thing many times already so i'm just going to skip her because i'm not sure what else there is to say.
i've also touched on the problems with vamp. i like vamp just fine as his own character, but that doesn't mean i don't still disapprove of this idea. they're incompatible by virtue of one of them doesn't really give that much of a shit and just wants to die and the other one is perfectly fine making that happen. yes, yes, vamp is freud's best friend, but that doesn't mean shit on an emotional level and i doubt it really means much if anything on a physical level either. this one would either be vastly unhealthy or ridiculously inaccurate. moving on!
next up i want to talk about solid snake. i'll be honest here, i just do not like the guy, but that isn't the reason why i don't like this ship. again, this one would be incredibly unhealthy. raiden clearly looks up to snake, i'd go so far as to call it hero worship--he seems to think of snake almost as a mentor figure, which, considering the fact that the man who he grew up with and who 'taught him everything' was another of big boss's clones, isn't that much of a surprise. meanwhile, during mgs2, snake... does not treat him like an equal in the slightest. quite the opposite, in fact. even beyond consistently belittling him for his (perceived) lack of experience, rarely giving him any actual positive acknowledgement, insulting him behind his back, and generally just being an asshole... well, this is my hot take: snake doesn't treat raiden that much better than any of the other major players do. he isn't actively trying to kill raiden (but then again, neither are the patriots, for most of it), but other than that, let's run over the list: manipulating raiden, check, lying to him, check, betraying him and throwing him to the wolves when it suits his purposes, check! (also, he basically ignores raiden actively having a mental breakdown and just says a bunch of cryptic and unhelpful shit. how caring of him, i say sarcastically.)
and to say nothing of mgs4! holy shit, mgs4 is bad on the raiden-and-snake front. raiden literally throws himself into danger constantly and almost dies three separate times while trying to protect snake. he WOULD HAVE died at the end there if snake hadn't finally gotten him to stop with the suicide missions. 'my body is a machine, i can take it' you can't put metal in the microwave for a goddamn reason. aaaaand aside from having a couple decent moments, snake is... still an asshole. he tried to take raiden to shadow moses island when he was dying and by the time he finally changed his mind (because a CHILD had to convince him not to) he was telling raiden he had a family when he had already been very clearly told that no, no he doesn't. of course raiden has a breakdown. and snake ignores him. again. raiden pours his heart out and begs snake not to leave him alone and snake just says 'this is my fight' and leaves. that's it. like i said, he has a few moments, but by and large i think it's pretty obvious that raiden cares a lot more about snake than snake does about him.
the inherent emotional and power imbalance that would be and is present in any relationship (platonic (which is what we actually see), romantic, sexual, anything) between the two of them downright horrifies me. raiden would be putting almost all of the work into it for very little in return, and i just... i can't accept that. he deserves better than that.
aaaaaaand jetstream sam. christ. this one is so popular, and for what? for what? their first meeting is sam helping murder a man raiden truly respects and considers a friend. and then maiming him. including destroying one of the only organic parts he has left. all the while mocking him and then almost killing him, too.
and their second meeting doesn't go any better. sam immediately and cheerfully starts messing with raiden's mind, employing brutal psychological warfare to the point that raiden almost lets himself get killed because he's too damn nice for his own good and can barely bring himself to fight back against the people trying to kill him.
this is, of course, all while sam is working for desperado, a company that is kidnapping children off the streets and turning them into brainwashed cyborg soldiers, aka some of the most horrifying things raiden's been put through in his life at the same time. and then he has the nerve to try and take the moral high ground.
and then there's the third meeting! in which they once again try to kill each other. the fact that sam is calling raiden a pretty boy and saying to 'show [him] a good time' during this fight does not mean anything. he's not flirting with him, he's mocking him. his tendency to do that is literally one of his most blatant character traits. it's creepy. and even if he was flirting, that's not nearly enough to build anything off of.
the fact that he decides to help raiden at the end also doesn't mean anything. unless you want to look at his dlc and decide that since he decided to help armstrong that means you ship THEM.
that's actually another of the reasons it would never work. raiden is an idealist. he has very strong beliefs about right and wrong. and sam... doesn't. his little 'we've heard enough speeches about ideals' is just something he says to disguise the fact that he doesn't have any. he flip-flops over committing atrocities like he's trying to decide what to have for breakfast. meanwhile raiden would have sooner let armstrong kill him than help with his plans. they're completely incompatible. raiden might have had some respect for sam's fighting skills, but he'd never respect him as a person. because sam goes against everything he is.
i could say so much more on that, but this post is long enough as is, and i've already made you wait almost four hours... sorry about that... i have a lot of thoughts. a lot of them.

oh my god- rant incoming
so, I don't even have tiktok- I heard this from twitter
but apparently the 'swifties' on there are making fun of people who want to wear costumes??
like wtfff
they're actually SO SO annoying
I've been yelled at for advising people not to camp (numbered seats are a miracle actually) or throw things on stage (it scares Taylor and can be a potential hazard for her dancers)
and mind you, I have never been to a concert, I only know from doing my research and watching ever single clip over the years??
But I know that it's a tradition to costume up, but I get literally bullied for suggesting the idea to them likeeee
iewgx,jdf ugh they're just sooo sooo stupid
and like swiftie traditions are so cool- they make her concerts unique, and these people just get sooo pissed at us and fire back with the exact same insults- 'gatekeepers' 'old and boring'
and ughhhhh I do slightly sound like a gatekeeper now, but can I just exile every single one of those 'Swifties' from her concerts- like they get soooo annoyed at us over mere suggestions and us talking about what usually happens at her concerts?!?!
anyway summary: I hate tiktok swifties and I don't think they qualify as swifties at all because the only album they even know is folklore and they're just so damn stupid and irritating and rude and yeah
uesklfdnj you can ignore this btw
Okay hear me on this: tiktok ppl are the worst kind of human beings. They say shit to get followers, think their opinion is the only valid one, and would shame and throw shit to anyone who disagree with them. And like im not even sure what the fuck they did for ppl blame them for zlibrary getting closed down. Tiktok created a zero empaty culture, and cringe culture is part of it.
Taylor LOVES us dressing up. She loves our costumes and seeing us creating new stuffs inspired by her music.
I absolutely hate "swifties" trying to shame others for having fun with this. Tay concerts are amazing cuz thousands of ppl with the same passion gather to celebrate smth we all love. As our wise woman once said, the worst kind of ppl are those who try to make others feel stupid or embarassed for doing something they are passionate about.
I really really hate tiktok culture. Its just so normative and anything weird or unaestheric gets bullied. Twitter at least creates discussion. Tiktok only shames and hate.
Anyways, I WAS GOING TO REPLY SOONER BUT IM WITH MY FAMILY AND MY DAD TOOK MY PHONE AWAY CUZ "youre with your family, you should try to converse with us" AND AÑDNAÑSLQÑLALAL not a big fan of adult talk.

Wait ppl really attacked matt smith over saying "they need therapy"? That's so inoffensive though, I don't understand. I'd understand it a bit more if he'd like armchair diagnosed a character and said that the illness is the only possible reason why they could act like this because normal non-mentally ill people don't act like this ever.. but it's a sentence about therapy??? Honestly, people should use that energy for legitimate cases of demonising mental illness instead or just calm down
Yeah, they elaborated and said family therapy as if, you know, they are playing a dysfunctional family.
They literally are going nuts over nothing and acting like he 'disrespected' Daemon like... He didn't say much about Daemon at all, he said it was his take on him and that's it. Also, the self-righteous 'they haven't read the books', that doesn't really matter at the end of the day because the actors have to follow a script. Emilia Clarke read the books, that didn't make her Dany be more book-like.
Seriously, they are acting as if the characters are real people being affected, for fuck's sake, this is a reimagening of the Anarchy with dragons. Stop acting like it like you are somehow superior for insulting the actors over it. I honestly dreaded interviews precisely because these idiots with persecution fantasy would go to actors' throats over the slightest thing because they are too pressed that they are not pretty enough to fit their headcanons.

The months-long feud between Catelynn Lowell and her family–– namely her mother, April, and younger brother Nick–– reignited over the weekend when Cate shared a recent phone conversation she had with the two, in which Nick can be heard calling his sister a “fat ass.” 
Nick’s alleged name-calling comes just a month after he posted a lengthy video to YouTube slamming Cate’s husband, Tyler Baltierra, for mistreating his sister and making insulting comments about Cate’s weight. (Nick even made a point to include a clip of the infamous “I don’t want no heifer for a wife” scene from Teen Mom OG in his video.)
This weekend, Catelynn took to social media multiple times to defend Tyler and state that he never weight-shamed her, and that it was made to appear that way on the show due to editing and strategic questions asked by their producer.
The Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star included a snippet from Nick’s video in her post over the weekend, along with the alleged phone conversation that took place last week, telling followers her brother is “the only person that has ever called me fat.” 
Cate even went on to issue a warning to those following her brother on social media, stating that he is just posting these videos to build his social media following.
“My brother says Tyler calls me names etc. which he has NEVER!!” she tweeted. “But if you hear the end of this video it’s my BROTHER calling me names so if ur gonna follow him just kno what type of person he is! A fake clout chasing one! Lies on lies!”
Cate also took to Instagram Live to “clarify” Tyler’s past comments about her weight. In a clip shared by @teenmomfanz, Cate claimed that viewers didn’t know what was really going on behind the scenes at the time.
“The truth is, back in the day when it was, ‘Tyler was saying things about my weight,’ it was actually our producer at the time [who] was pushing that [storyline],” Cate said, alleging that the topic of her weight was addressed on the show because she had mentioned wanting to lose weight before her and Tyler’s wedding.
According to Cate, she did mention to Tyler (after giving birth to their daughter Nova) that she wanted to lose some weight and admitted that she struggled with accountability. Because of this, Cate said she turned to Tyler to help her with her goals, even asking him to “call her out” if he noticed that she was “failing” in her weight loss goals.
“But [the show] never showed that part of it,” she claimed. “On TV they would only show Tyler literally calling me out–- the thing that I asked him to do.”  
She went on to accuse the show of using this storyline because she and Tyler were just “too happy” and “had no drama” to work though on-camera.  
“They didn’t want to show the side of me being like, ‘Hey Tyler, call me out if you see me falling off,’” she said. “And at that time in my life, I wasn’t going to the gym, I wasn’t, you know, I was doing it all at home and on Weight Watchers. I had postpartum [depression] on top of it, not even knowing at the time that I had it … .”
(Cate also mentioned on Instagram Live that the “certain producer” she and Tyler had at the time seemed to only focus on her weight and Tyler’s alleged issues with her body-– something she also mentioned in an Instagram post on Sunday.)
“For the LAST TIME! My husband has NEVER called me fat or fat-shamed me!” Catelynn wrote. “S**t is edited and do you REALLY think I would stay with someone that [speaks] down on me? HELL NO! What type of woman would that make me while I’m literally raising little girls! It’s ridiculous but here I am again!” 
“I’m just so sick of ppl bashing my husband and in the same breath making me seem like some quiet, held-down woman,” Catelynn added. “…that WHOLE conversation was edited and y’all took it WAY out of context! And I’m just SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT IT!” 
Cate defended Tyler (again) Monday on social media, telling fans (again) that the statements in question that were made by Tyler on ‘Teen Mom OG’ had been “edited HARDCORE,” insisting she isn’t “some weak ass b*tch” that would stay in a relationship with someone who body shamed her.  
“My husband LOVES my body and I gave him 4 beautiful children!!” Cate continued. “You will all believe what you want! It angers me that people would truly think Ty is that way … Live a day here and you would truly see!
Cate shared her statement on both Instagram and Twitter, insisting that Tyler treats her and their daughters like queens. 
“He loves my body, adores me, tells me how beautiful I am etc.,” she noted. “Now I’m DONE with this! Believe what you want! But remember I have ALWAYS been open, honest and raw with y’all!”
In response to the post, Tyler encouraged Cate to not worry about the “big conspiracies” viewers have about comments he made nearly 10 years ago; however, Tyler admitted that he agreed with some of the criticism from fans, claiming he “could’ve definitely used better delivery” and “been more compassionate” with Cate at the time regarding her health goals. 
“ … I know you always tell me there’s nothing to apologize for, but I still want you to know that I am sorry if my words ever hurt you, because that was NEVER my intention at all!” Tyler wrote. “But regardless, people will believe what they want at the end of the day, even when you try to tell your truth…so just #LetThem…you know I love and adore you & that’s all that matters!”

|Mime Bomb X Emotional!Reader|
Tumblr media
a/n: hey! i'm trying to get back into writing so i'm really thankful for your guys' patience. also these kinda suck tsk tsk tsk i’m rusty. reader doesn't have powers but i still tried to make y/n and pepa similar! please enjoy!
pairing: mime bomb x reader
warnings: fluff. thieves stealing stuff and hearts <3 mb is creepy to ppl. lmk if i missed anything! they/them pronouns, gn reader in mind when written
post type: headcannons
requested: yes!
word count: 0.8k
Tumblr media
mime bomb LOVES how expressive you are
he feels as if he found someone who truly understands him and his theatrics
his feelings began growing for you on the sunny isle of vile academy
you were just so amazing
you were a great student, your skills as a thief were remarkable, and you had to have been his only peer who didn't call him 'the weird quiet kid' along with other insults
you also didn't make fun of his braces, acne, or hair. which he greatly appreciated since he was an easy target for public ridicule
it was quick knowledge that when you felt, you felt HARD. if you were angry, sullen, excited, confident, etc. you would let everyone around know, positively or negatively
not even just with words, your actions and body language conveyed enough for you
your emotional personality was certainly admirable to him, seeing as in some ways he's the same
after being partners for a faux-robbery assignment in countess cleo's class, you both became fast friends
as your friendship grew, he found himself listening to you pretty often, if not daily
whether it is your vents about your problems at hand or just about the weather, he was always there to lend an ear
and in many times, a hand too!
however, this mime was raised on Shakespeare so asking him advice isn't a good idea unless you're looking for an interesting story
his crush on you grew rapidly with longing stares at you across the classroom and lingering touches when handing you paper assignments or writing utensils
soon enough it was time for graduation, where your class would finally show off your skills and steal luxuries for vile
both of you were partners for your first heists and he was nervous for his personal reasons
your form and posture were astonishing, the confidence you carried was alluring, and your aura as a thief was intoxicating
after a mission (failed; due to the Lady in Red 😔) Mime Bomb offered to help fix your injuries
his hold was gentle as he wrapped your wounds, medicated your scratches, and iced your bruises
up close gave you the chance to truly appreciate his attractiveness. including the small and unnoticeable from afar details such as his freckles, his neat eyebrows, and even his face shape
but nothing could top how soft he was looking at you. and at that moment you've never felt so seen or cared for.
as more than someone to be cautious of because of what your emotions could bring
your passionate nature brought you the reputation of not one to be messed with
and though that wasn't the worst thing in the world, it was nice for someone to treat you differently than a ticking time bomb (haha)
after a quick confession from him in the form of a kiss (that you deepened >:) ) the both of you were finally official
as your romantic relationship flourished, you can find mime bomb being your own cheerleader
in public, he won't try to embarrass you or anything but there is the hand around the waist or a quick kiss on the cheek 😚
it's very obvious he's proud to be your significant other
and he is!!! you're, without a doubt, his first romantic relationship so he wants to do good 4 u!
you're such an important person in his life 😭 you're his best friend
he wants to impress you literally so bad!! on a mission he will 💯 go off on his own and come back w a few stolen trinkets he thinks you'll like
DEAR LORD FORBID YOU GET GOSSIPED ABOUT
if he overhears someone whispering about some rumor (true or not lol) around you, he'll follow and blackmail them for something he finds that's WAY worse. plus, he gets to stir drama
however, if someone, who is dumb, shit talks you in front of him? he's quick to defend you!
he can't start an argument or anything verbal (since most ppl don't appreciate his mimery 🙄) but this redhead will go out of his way to act...extra creepy..around them. big toothy smiles and the presence of eyes never really leaving them
but! if u ask him not to he won't dw
he loves loves LOVES taking you out to dates like movies or performances! he gets to enjoy the theatre and how you're the perfect audience member
((shhh super secret time: he feels very Big And Strong® even you hold onto his arm in scenes that are scary or thrilling))
without a doubt mime bomb knows the cues for your feelings. from something small to an eyelid twitch or bigger like a change of stance, he knows when something's wrong and he'll want to know how to make it right
he's very patient with you! mime bomb cares plenty about how you feel and he wants you to know that you can take your time and not have to worry abt anything w him
he has pretty hands :) hold them
in private he is vry cuddly, he enjoys holding you or being held
he really enjoys attacking u with kisses >:) (if you're okay w it obvi) bc he gets to hear ur laugh
mime bomb loves your personality bc he loves YOU! 🖤

This is a sad day for me. One of my favorite fic authors became a madam Yu stan 😭😭😭😭😭
Author was already sharing some questionable JC takes but I was willing to overlook them because -1) the majority of the Fandom has questionable takes about JC -2) author never writes fics about JC anyway, most their work is about a rarepair that I like
But now they shared a gifset of madam Ew and JC (In CQL no less) with the following tags:
#i love this moment 🥺 #i literally have no doubt that yzy loved jc very much #her anger wasn't directed at him but rather she was angry on his behalf #she wanted the best for him #so of course she would be angry to see him overshadowed and overlooked #especially when it was his own father neglecting him #also I love their blue and purple color scheme it's so pretty!
The problem is this author did read the novel (and they are a novel main even) and their analysis of other characters was mostly logical and well thought out, so I was willing to let them off on their questionable opinions on JC and the Lans (I understand many people don't agree with the lans' strictness and use of corporal punishment for discipline)
Now however, they're defending madam Ew which I cannot overlook. Me being a woman I can't wrap my head around madam Ew's actions as a mother and person in general. I mean what sane woman looks at an orphaned child who had to fend for himself on the streets since he was a toddler and doesn't feel her maternal instincts to protect and nurture the child go through the roof but instead decide beat this child with an electric whip for daring to be the son of a (dead) woman her husband may have had a crush on and also for daring to be a prodigy and more talented and popular than her mediocre unlikable son and also constantly slander and insult the child's dead parents to his face. To me madam Ew is the most revolting character in Mdzs (and that's a very high bar considering how despicable some of the other characters are) mostly because of the way she treated a vulnerable child in her care
I am afraid I will have to withdraw my support from this author even if I like their writing so much. I draw the line at Madam Ew stanning and child abuse apologism
Sorry for the long rant I had to get it off my chest 😔
oof (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) no worries. go off. xx
Forget a maternal instinct how about just basic human decency. And I mean BASIC. I don't mind asshole characters, but it's only really enjoyable when they're assholes to ppl on their level. I get no satisfaction seeing a super privileged asshole abusing someone who can't strike back and then demand sympathy! Plz hold your breath bitch.
But their takes are just bad period. How are they going to have a problem w the Lans for using corporeal punishment over well established rules, or incredibly serious transgressions and be simpatico w YZY punishing WWX for existing?!! It's like YZY stans share one braincell.
*JFM tells jc not to reprimand WWX for saving people*, yzy stans: OMg he's FavOrinG WWX >:-/. YZY isn't throwing her tantrums for jc's sake. She's throwing them for herself. It's in the book. She busts into a session of JFM trying to teach his son how to be a decent person for his future as a Clan leader and is like "did u forget this is ur son u don't even care u don't even pay attention to ME!!!... I mean him". Let's look at her words, what part of this is in the interest of her son:
There was resentment within her heart. She simply wanted to let out the rage, even if it made no sense. All the rest were quiet as they endured her temper. Jiang FengMian, “My lady, you’re tired. Why don’t you go back and rest?”
Jiang Cheng sat still as he looked up at her, “Mom.”
Madam Yu stood up and mocked, “What do you want me to do? Like your father, you want me to hold my tongue? You really are an idiot. I’ve told you long ago that you’ll never in your whole life be able to surpass the one sitting beside you. Not over cultivation, not over night-hunting, even over shooting kites, you can’t surpass him! It can’t be helped. Who could change the fact that your mom is worse than another’s? Worse it is, then. Your mom feels injustice for you, tells you countless times not to fool around with him, yet you’re still defending him. Just how did I give birth to a son like you?!”
She doesn't feel injustice for jiang cheng, she's pissed off Cangse Sanren was better than her and WWX is better than her son.
Look carefully—this, is your own son, the future head of Lotus Pier. Even if you frown upon him just because I was the one who bore him, his surname is still Jiang!
NO ONE IS DENYING IT LADY. Absolutely delusional. She's so much like jc. It simply must be someone else's fault that JFM doesn't want to fw her. It can't possibly be her character and personality that are repugnant.
WWX did nothing wrong ever except try to comfort jc and tell him he's not that bad bc all of this is true. Ofc JFM wishes he could leave the Clan in the hands of a decent person but he still fully plans on leaving it to jc. He's still trying to teach jc although his lessons have been falling on deaf ears for years ("Since birth, he taught him in many ways, yet he still couldn’t change")
Jiang Cheng pulled Wei WuXian’s hand away and stood up, letting out his anger, “I know! I know that I don’t have the personality he likes, that I’m not the heir he wants. He thinks that I don’t deserve to be Sect Leader, that I don’t understand the motto of the Jiang Sect, that I don’t have the air of the Jiang Sect in me at all! Those are all true!”
Like nah it's not your personality buddy, it's your rank character. jc is out there acting like a self absorbed, selfish piece of shit knowing it's against his father's wishes, and then is like "why doesn't JFM sing me praises? I don't get it?"
