can we also be nice to the arms dealer hes an obscenely on the nose racist stereotype in a carrying the black rep body (the other two are barely anything, & weirdly stereotypical @ zoologist)

also maybe actually drawing him w textured hair too

#this is one of those things where #yeah hes written like. that. #but please :( #also i feel mean with the @everyone on the hair but seriously pleas.. #u are allowed to give him fun styles its cool bro #i want to make a guide on his hair but im like. not black. (mixed 1/4 but insert essay here) so that's probably overstepping #but also if no one else does it im at least lending my hand forward #terraria #grublings #maintagging its important to me #seriously this game sucks with rep why does noone talking about it #(besides here occasionally) #(also i don't want to seem like the overarching sjw cancellation arm of darkness. i still love this game it's just. also yikes.) #(i give zoologist a pass since at the end of the day she's sprited with curly at best hair but i think we could do something fun w dat too) #(like ass length locs 😳😳 or like a lot of bubble braids 🥺🥺) #(when there isn't a path make one yourself) #alright now that all my real feelings are in the 2 people read this tags send post

This is going to sound like the world's most brain-rotted thought but passerine by the oh hellos is martlet coded and canary in a coal mine by the crane wives is clover coded

#I KNOW I SOUND LIKE IM LOSING IT BUT HEAR ME OUT #i do not have nearly enough experience to fully unpack the christian context behind passerine BUT #i know for a fact that its about losing your faith in something after seeing the harm done in its name #specifically that one line My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline/From throwing fuel to the fire of that greco-roman dream #look. idk. something something martlet losing faith in the justice from the royal guards #and the guilt after basically marching clover to their own death #all the hopes of the underground lie on the shoulders of a bunch of human children and its the job of the royal guard to fucking kill them #AND CANARY IN A COAL MINE + CLOVER IS SOOOOOOOOO #THE QUESTION OF WHETHER YOUR WORTH SHOULD BE MEASURED WITH THE THINGS YOUVE GIVEN WAY INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU HAVE AND ARE #WOULD CLOVER BE AS IMPORTANT IF IT WERENT FOR THEIR SOUL??? WOULD THEY FORGIVE THEMSELF IF THEY CHOSE TO KEEP THEIR SOUL????? #WOULD A CANARY STILL BE LOVED AFTER IT STOPPED SINGING????????? #also because the When You Break The Surface Without Me line hurts like a bitch #god i havent been so unwell about characters since double life came out this is insane #fuck it yknow what im maintagging this #undertale yellow #clover undertale yellow #martlet undertale yellow #fweeet #if i have to deal with these thoughts in my head so do all of you

cannot spend more time or add more technical information in such a simple drawing but someone must see my vision

script jewelry (: the way it works out you could pretty easily do just about anything with one middle wire + the setup here, i think? (though the K set would be kind of a bitch i will admit) (not that theyd necessarily need to be made by hand anyway)

this doesnt spell anything bc i was going for love but actually did not feel like writing a V in this instance. it says lothep. or something.

edit: no it doesnt thats not an L. much love to everything except how the coppermind script table is formatted.

#sorry for maintagging however this concept is so important to me actually. #stormlight #the stormlight archive #cosmere post #almighty the way tags work rn is so obnoxious... #what tags do ppl use even btw... #this is not a joke post its close to my heart and so serious. you must see it and understand me and draw characters w script bracelets #or necklaces. now #stormlight archive #did i say that already. almighty fucking above ?

If I may be weird and petty for a moment, I don't get AUs where Martin is the Archivist when Melanie and Sasha are right there?? I mean I get why: roleswaps are popular AUs and martin is a popular character. And maybe its just my specific headcanons re: archivist requirements but I feel like the other two would be so much better?

Yes, Martin reads statements and yes, he gets marked, but I really don't think those are the Only Requirements to do the big ritual? Cause at that point Elias could've chosen any web-marked dude off the street, especially if they have the mark of another entity as well already.

Melanie and Sasha shared several important traits with Jon, most notably a burning curiosity, a willingness to put themselves in trouble for information, and (in Melanie's case (and Sasha's too, arguably) an ability to antagonize extremely dangerous fear avatars. Sasha's whole statement is her putting herself in a dangerous situation without telling anyone or acquiring any help (remind you of any main characters?) and running face first into supernatural dangers (sometimes to protect her friends, sometimes out of curiosity). Useful for collecting marks, but also useful for collecting information and developing her own powers as the Archivist. Considering her seemingly unrepentant willingness to look through her friends' and coworkers' personal files via accessing their accounts, I'd argue that her curiosity and boundary crossing could easily get stronger when investigating supernatural entities. Obviously, this never happened because of how early on she died, but I think you could make a strong case for Sasha's strong curiosity making some avatars incredibly mad. Not to mention how incredibly Beholding it is of her. None of this is criticism btw, I think Sasha should have access to whatever personal info she wants and I love it when characters are so obviously Eye-aligned. I know "Sasha wasn't promoted because she'd solve all the problems and find a way to kill Jonah" is also a popular headcanon but please think for a MOMENT about her appearances in podcast. There weren't many, but there's a very obvious through-line in almost all of them. She's curious, she takes risks in the face of the supernatural, she wants to Know. It's literally what caused the circumstances of her statement. Those traits are arguably the ones that got her KILLED. I'm sorry this went off on a tangent. I just love Sasha very much and I'm constantly filled with Thoughts of Sasha.

Melanie also has curiosity about the supernatural AND a much more obviously antagonistic personality!! Her first appearance is being a total asshole to Jon, mocking him, the place he works at, the equipment they use, and what they do. But she also dedicated basically her entire career into uncovering the supernatural? She ran a Youtube channel about it, and when she discovered that everyone was sticking to the same "safe" sites, she started looking off the beaten path for the real stuff. And she found it! She went looking for ghosts of war and violence and even without access to statements, probably working alone and sifting through bunk on the internet, she found them! She got stabbed by a ghost and instead of trying to avoid ghosts in the future, she decided to look for more violent ghosts. The slaughter tendencies might be a drawback for her becoming the Archivist, yes, but by that point Jon had already survived multiple marks and was developing his powers. If he failed by that point, Elias might've wanted an Archivist who'd be better able to defend themselves. By S4 Melanie was probably far enough gone to the Slaughter (and hated the Eye enough) that she was probably off the table as a candidate. By that point, however, Jon was expected to fully Become and only needed a few more marks.

I understand that Sasha was approved for a transfer to the Archives because Elias let Jon choose who take with him and Jon chose Sasha. And Melanie was almost certainly chosen to keep Jon in close proximity of a Slaughter-aligned person who'd be likely to mark him but unlikely to kill him. But I think that they served a secondary purpose of being backup Archivists in case something happened to Jon.

Obviously this is more headcanon than theory (not to mention it relies on other headcanons to fully stand) but I'm very fond of it. I guess I think that, even if Elias wasn't really looking for another Archivist when Jon seems like the perfect candidate in every way (and I'm not saying this JUST because I love him), I think that if something did happen to Jon, they'd be Elias' next candidates.

#I hope this makes sense? #I've been rotating this idea for a while but I'm not sure if its fully baked yet #might need more time in the oven #if you're wondering why I opened with petty complaints about martin being the archivist #it's because I am Filled With Spite and I Do Not Like Him #and I think he'd be a bad candidate #which is its own post #anyway my Sasha opinions are almost as high as my Jon opinions #my Melanie opinions are... mixed leaning negative #but I think she has archivist potential #I think its important for the archivist to be curious #and for a majority of the marks to stem from active choices they made #to interact with the supernatural #anyway not maintagging this #I've only just started a relisten after not listening in a while #so let me know if I've forgotten something important #or missed a line that invalidates all my headcanon-crafting #I know I post a lot of jonship stuff but I PROMISE I care about other aspects of the show #I got some meta stuff thats been percolating in the brain soup so you can possibly expect more of that in the next couple days #anyway I gotta go now #goodbye

deadwood is like smalltown rural ireland to me like it's trees and their stories and the people who tell them. it's folktales and fairyrings, strange superstitions and creatures in the woods that nobody fully understands. it's not even that far out but its just outside of the big cities and isnt near the major roads that it feels isolated and enclosed. everyone knows everyone and nobody misses a new face. it's distrust of those who arent from there because they cant understand what the world is truly like. the cold bites and the wind tears and no matter the time of year the trees always seem to both stare you down and beckon all at once

Wahoo! Today i stumbled upon submas angst (non permanent or at least not confirmed permanent, thank god)bby accident in my fyp, and it didn't place dread in my soul for the rest of the day as it would have like a month ago! Granted it has only been like five minutes but. I feel BETTER. I felt better after only a few seconds and it lasted... I could even think about Ingo just existing in hisui during the post game pre Volo without feeling any dread...... I'm winning

#is this healing #god the situation has been Bleak™ for these past few months so i sure hope it is #i hope it isnt just a coincidence and i just felt better today #personal #im not maintagging this the two people who consistently respond or like my submas vents (no shame to the others) will see this anyway #which by the way hi. you have been so important to me you have no idea like at all. when its sadposting hours youre there and i immediatly #-feel better. love u

All desire for gentleness goes out the window I guarantee it

#the reason I love gomens and the flag of death (keeping my lunacy out of the maintags like a boss) is because it is gentle. and kind #and the reason why I avoid shows like the heart stopping one is because I do not need a story of realized queerness and the sudden frenzied #passion that comes with it is because I love a story about love. not just queer sexuality for its own sake (that sounds worse than I meant) #BUT HANNIBAL CAN BE BOTH!!! #because it’s about love and becoming and the metaphor for sexuality is becoming a monster and Other #BECAUSE WHAT GAY PERSON HASNT FELT LIKE THIS WHEN THEY REALIZE HOW FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT THEY ARE!!!!!?!!!?! #and it is passionate but it has a gentleness that matches my other old queers in love shows #crazy of me to say but I think the lack of sex scenes in HANNIBAL ENHANCES THE PASSION IN A WAY IT DOESNT FOR TEEN DRAMAS. #teen dramas are v important too but there has to be more than being queer and in love than that yknow? #and that’s really all a lot of straight people see gay men as which is sad #it’s based on a stereotype that while true in some instances has definitely dehumanized gay men in their eyes #not to say sex is bad because it’s not!!!!!! #it’s wonderful!!!! but it doesn’t have to be a pageant every time in every show depicting young hot gay men #I lost my thread goddamn. #tldr; I love my gentle shows depicting queer love stories earnestly… but I love passion IN A VIOLENT FORMAT #that’s how I felt as a kid trying to find my footing yknow???

I think you should all know I've taken to referring to Impulse and Bdubs as the saccharine-sweet soulmates because I like the alliteration and I think it's cute <3

#me vibing #not gonna maintag this #i just think its sweet!!! #not as any kind of duo name btw. i just call them impulse and bdubs. but when talking about them in any moment where i'd call them husbands #no theyre saccharine-sweet soulmates #its alliterative and thats important to me

god could you imagine if people focused on the actual golden boy getting like twice as much content as his fellow companions rather than like 2 new lines for one bad guy to make one scene feel more in line with the one other scene with said bad guy

#ramblings #not maintagging or saying His name but like #christ man. with everything that guy got for the past several patches. when he already had the most to begin with #like could we maybe focus on the disparity between uh. idk. the companions themselves #youre COMPLETELY correct that wyll deserves better than what he has but i feel like some people are barking up the wrong tree here fellas #d urge getting special lines in this scenario is completely understandable considering the coronation scene. #one companion getting a fuckton of special scenes when hes no more important to the main plot as the others is the problem. imo #especially when one other companion gets so fucking little. #(<- ESPECIALLY when you remember one of these characters is black. and its the neglected one.) #and im not saying this to be like. some kinda apologist for The Freak or anything. i think hes entertaining #but im not going into the whole fiction vs reality thing here. im tired #i personally like The Freak and the new lines. theyre not any more romantic than we already had. #the d urge fuckimg sucked as a person pre canon too or did we forget the whole 'crafted specifically to bring the world into ruin' part #saw some people in the main tag saying how dare we get more content talking about how they liked each other he shouldnt get that #and yeah. objectively. the freak is a horrible dude. but i promise you that the d urge probably condoned that shit and also did worse #did you forget. that the d urge is like. an origin. just like the other origin characters #sure their backstory is vaguer than the others but theyre nonetheless a preestablished character. your d urge is not exempt from Horrors #your d urge probably ate babies and definitely fucked corpses. sorry #so sorry for complaining ive just been frustrated with the golden boy the entire week #i like him i do but in the. grand scheme of things hes midtier. to me #there are so many parts of the game especially in act 3 where i was like hey. why isnt [companion] reacting this feels relevant to them #they got the narrator who was probably already around anyway to record 2 more lines i PROMISE freak nation isnt ur enemy rn #anyway im clambering back into my hole (discord) to complain (to an audience that im not deeply terrified of) #ignore this im just so tired rn <3

a lil confession from a guy who used to like blaseball. going to preface with i absolutely loved it, the culture, the community, the characters and setting and all. i made art, wrote fics, bought the albums. but as someone who wasnt usamerican, who lived on the opposite side of the world in fact, i always felt a little left behind. joining late contributed to the feeling of lockout, timezone mismatch meant that i slept through events like voting, and the finale.

and… the communal character building. sometimes i felt like i had to force myself to use a usa-centric lens to see what everyone else saw. the deicide jokes were funny, but not when my actual rl faith started being teased and challenged as well.

i think i'll still always keep a shard of blaseball near and dear to my heart. the good parts of it really were amazing. but sometimes when i see people say they miss it, i think, i wish i could miss it as fiercely as you guys do too.

hey, i wanna say thank you for sharing this with me. i think it's an important perspective to put out there. i debated on whether i wanted to maintag it since i don't have a way to reach out and ask if it's okay to do so, but i really think other people should see it. (you can always send me another message if you want me to delete it and i will do so asap)

blaseball, as a game and as a community, was wonderful and overall a net positive, but it was by no means perfect. it had its flaws like any other community, in this case driven by the fact that its active fanbase was largely white and centered in the united states. there were a lot of people who felt ostracized by a community that was supposed to be welcoming to everyone - and whether it was people not knowing how to keep a bit contained to the circumstances of its universe or shutting down discussions about problems in character writing, there were people who got hurt. we cannot and should not pretend that never happened.

and of course, as you mentioned, the game was designed in a way that mostly centered the united states. i think there were attempts to fix this during coronation with planned events at different times, but we never got to see that play out. hell, you could even see it in which locations got to be represented by teams. i'm not personally sure how i feel about the fact that a lot of the teams that were represented outside of the us were prehistory teams. it feels like they took a step in trying, but those are all teams that wouldn't ever see active play, so it rang a little hollow to me.

at least from my perspective, it seemed like there were dialogues happening about this and that there was progress being made to fix those issues, but then the game ended and we didn't get to see anything come out of it. i really don't want to see that all be for nothing. i hope that everyone who learned something from this community will take those lessons and apply them to how they interact with other communities.

thank you again. i am truly sorry we didn't get to have the same experience.

#blaseball #all of this is of course not to say that people can't reminisce about blaseball. just don't treat it like it was 100% perfect

Random person: I think this show sucks and I'm gonna put it in its maintags because I want to keep my blog relevant with my absolute opinions

Me: Common courtesy is to NOT put such disrespect in the maintags, create your own if it's oh so important to be an asshole to the fans

//checks the person's blog and find they're a purist who also wants to punch the main character in the show they hate.

Me: Okay, wow, you're invalid, blocked.

big post explaining/apologizing for my (eggtwobroes/theyhitthepentagon) behavior under the read more

sorry for maintagging this i just. think its important

i dont really kniw how to word what im thinking so im like. going to type it as im thinking. but i wanted to make a real genuine post explaining my behavior over the past year, because ive been a dick there is no avoiding it!! this post is going to be about how ive acted from june up until now. im mostly going to be explaining the situations and apologizing. if you see this please feel free to share it around, i know it most likely will not reach alot of people because i have like. a loot of people blocked. and alot of people have me blocked. idk please share this ok thank u

back in june 2022 (specifically one year tomorrow, june 16th) i got like. really worked up after i had foundout that most of my adult mutuals (and some people i followed) were drawing hlvrai nsfw! the only post i had made about it (at least from what i remember) is liiike a not Kind post that basically said "hey if u like hlvrai nsfw please block me i thought that was common sense". after i posted this a large hlvrai artist (either by chance or caused by me) posted like "hey if u shit on hlvrai porn ur homophobic! sex is an important part of gay relationships etc etc"

this caused a Massive out break of discourse over hlvrai nsfw and me getting alot of adults in my inbox being weird towards me. here i feel its important to mention that:

when i was 12, i was around Ex Friends that posted a lot of porn of media i liked. even though most of them were teenagers and not that much older than me it Greatly Impacted Me and how i act, both related to what i saw and how i was treated

i used twitter from ages 12-15 (recently left) and you know how they handle conflict there. its not good

i dont think either of these excuse how i acted (but they may explain it)

the combined pressure of getting a bunch of adults in my anons being (from my perspective) really weird about this 14 year old kid who doesnt want porn artists to interact, and the unhealed trauma of Being Exposed To Homestuck Porn When I Was 12 (a devastating situation that everyone goes though all the time) i didnt really. handle it in a Good Way. which Means i sent horrible anon hate to people.i dont clearly remember if i made alot of public posts about the situation at the time (beyond answering the anons i was getting) but if i did im very very VERY sorry.

i feel like. alot of how i acted during this time (june-early august, mostly) was extremely Dickish and rude. as much as i justify or explain why i acted the way i did, i was still causing issues and handling the situation in a way that was unhealthy for not just myself but for everyone else around me. for this i really genuinely do apologize as much as i can, to the people ive hurt (melonsharks, xenodogz, many other artists) and to the people who were annoyed by me rehashing 3 year old drama. ever since the situation i have been working towards learning to block people and move on if they make content that makes me feel nauseous.

As for how ive acted in recent months, mostly over characterization, im not going to pretend that im already a new person. because im not! as much as i say im trying to be less of an asshole im just Not. it takes effort that i feel like im not putting in.

for those who just Dont look at my pages often enough, i will occasionally make posts about how hlvrai fans treat or characterize the. characters. and lets behonest these posts are really rude and ive been working on at LEAST being more vague or keeping it in private or like. just Not Posting it. but of course i HAVENT done all of those things! ive been really unvague!

ive posted direct screenshots of authors writing (someone younger than me, ive recently learned) to shit on it for being mischaracterized. i should Not have done that. at the very least i should have kept my thoughts to myself, not even shared with my friends.

after reading how other authors and artists have felt about the things ive said, and looking at the way ive come to think of other artists or authors in the community, ive realized that even though i thought i was targetting mischaracterization and poor treatment of the characters, i was harming and discouraging artists and authors who are still learning and growing as creators.

for this, im VERY very sorry to all of the artists and writers ive hurt or discouraged with my posts. i want to personally apologize to joyflameball, for publicly posting about and hating on your writing and the discouragement i caused as a result. i should have never put mischaracterization over your own feelings, and i definitely should not have put your work on blast, especially because we are (i think) around the same age. i will be trying as best as i can to deconstruct the way ive come to think of other creators in this community and support other creators as best i can.

i dont expect to be forgiven for the way ive acted, since alot of this is VERY very recent and so far i dont think ive shown any signs of improvement. i am writing this post now because i want you all to know that i will be trying my hardest to become a better person, change the way i think of other people, and change the way i act in public. i dont think my actions can be excused, as much as i try my best to explain them from my perspective. ive undeniably hurt many people. if i havent addressed something important, or if you have any questions/things to say, please feel free to send me an ask or dm me at wretched yaoi lich#9564 on discord. im most likely going to be queueing this post alot so my followers see it. thank u for ur time

#veru sorry if this isnt well articulated or put together because i just. typed as i was thinking

[best-transgender-character]

sorry to harp on this but uh. people not showing consideration for one tag is entirely not an excuse to make it worse for others? generally speaking i dont think a "least favorite character poll" is a good idea unless youre genuinely trying to just create the most toxic hellscape imaginable but the least you could do is not broadcast peoples insults to every character tag available. because at this point regardless of whos actually sending the asks you are kind of the problem here. its not even like its hard to not maintag people saying a character is the worst ever. its in fact very easy not to be a dick! sadly i think you may be a lost cause on this one all things considered but oh well. i hope you have fun with your blogging & i bid you adieu

look im not gonna stop tagging posts on this blog. its important for organization and filtering. i literally tag it all with character hate. if it bothers you you should filter that tag or block me

#I Am In Fact Creating A Toxic Hellscape #and you Should block me if you dont want to take part. #maintagging character hate has been a really common fandom practice for quite some time now because filter tags are the same as search tags #the etiquette for years now has been to slap a character hate tag on it #if i wasnt doing that i would get it but since i am in fact doing that there's really nothing im doing wrong here. sorry. block and move on
