Reminder of a Starline themed BumbleKast Q&A where Ian Flynn as Starline talks about what he would have done with Sonic and Tails bodies after the events of Issue 50: [ Tw! Child Death + Taxidermy ]

Starline is such a genuinely terrifying character (who I miss everyday ahh) and his disregard for children and his willingness to mentally and physically manipulate them for his own evil purposes (especially in the context of this answer) is genuinely chilling. It’s something I think even Eggman would be semi disturbed by which is saying a lot.

The idea of him using Sonic and Tails preserved bodies as trophies and as an example to others is so insanely horrifying, and the “well then I’ll just have to start a gallery won’t I!” in response to the idea of other hero’s trying to rise up against him somehow finds a way to make it extra disturbing. The mental image of Amy, Knuckles and all their other friends seeing what Starline has done to the brothers… to their family 💔

The thought of Surge and Kit having a constant physical reminder of what they’ve done… that while Sonic and Tails may be out the way, the two unwilling doppelgangers will forever be in their shadow, unable to truly fill the roles they were forced into and the bond the brothers had. Them getting everything they thought they wanted, yet still feeling empty inside.

Long story short: Ian Flynn did not need to go this crazy with this answer but gosh am I glad he did.

knight in stumbling armor... gepard when his crush is around... best sibling of the year serval cackling in the background...

KNIGHT IN STUMBLING ARMOR GEPARD !!!! no bc to his fellow silvermane guards and the people of belobog, he is an admirable captain and guard, a little uptight but he means well when it comes to protecting his people. and they all understand and are thankful for his resolve, even more so if they witnessed his broad, reliable back being their saving grace.

when it comes to you, however? oh boy, you would almost think he is a different person entirely! from stumbling over his words to tripping over his feet, from the near-permanent flush taking residence on the apples of his cheeks and the tips of his ears to the common sight of his hand rubbing the back of his neck, it leaves many wondering just what you did to cause such an unfathomable side to their stubborn captain who is only well-versed in the world of battle and knighthood.

serval, however, gets a kick out of seeing her little baby brother geppy act like a baby fawn when navigating the ways of being in love. her comments and nudges only make him spiral further, and he loathes the way it makes him short-circuit even more when in front of you.

(his occasional plights more often than not causes a smile to light your features, a laughter which could rival that of the most angelic of sounds tumbling from your lips soon after. he supposes he doesn't mind making that much of a fool of himself if it means he can bask in your unadulterated joy.)

Dinluke is such a fascinating and delicious ship because, like, Luke embodies the curly blonde haired idealistic twink darling AND an overpowered eldritch monster of UNSPEAKABLE POWER and ALSO a daddy issues kid who was and is very much underloved. And Din is just a terrifyingly talented warrior with the simple needs of following a code and loving his son plus he’s also so touch starved that feeling could probably power an entire planet.

The threads I always want to pull on are: Luke as both a darling and a terror, straddling both spaces, and getting Din’s goddamn helmet off in the most angsty ways possible.

I THINK THERE IS A FIC IN THERE???

#after the house of r convo #i've been thinking to reread heir to the empire #and i love me some mara jade #FORMATIVE CHARACTER FOR ME #but omg het luke #anyway #text post #dinluke #i want to write a terrible horror of a dinluke fic one day #with a rey and grogu coda #bless

Young Masriel au [part 4: Fair Isle hideaway] > In which Marisa tries to convince herself this thing between her and Asriel is just some temporary lapse of judgement and she's still in full control of what's happening. Her daemon, on the other hand, knows things have been heavily spiralling out of control and she might be in deeper trouble than she realizes. This shabby little house Asriel suggested, hidden away somewhere near the German coast, is just a matter of convenience. It's not like she actually likes the place. It's dirty and full of unnecessary stuff no one in their right mind would ever purchase. Sometimes though, she's overcome with an unfamiliar, warm sensation washing over her when she's alone with him here. She despises it, and quickly pushes it away before it can take hold of her. (part 1/ part 2/ part 3)

#his dark materials #hdm #hdm au #young masriel #young masriel au #asriel x marisa #asriel belacqua #marisa coulter #gonna try and post these a bit quicker since most of it is done already #this convo is ridiculous but I love how these scenes match in color and setting #and their young selves look so good together omg 😭#dont mind me still crying about that deleted s2 ep #mine #hdm edit #gif fic #part 4 #ruth kinda looks like nicole kidman in the golden compass here but just not blonde

"Delusional fangirls": the 'never ending story' of the dismissal of byler being rooted in misogyny.

As someone who is passionate about both feminism and fandom culture, when I got sent this ask a little less than a month ago, it made me ask myself the question on why shipping byler has been viewed in such a negative light, and you'll never guess, but it's rooted in misogyny.

Even if this ask is a troll, it's clearly replicating what can be seen not just in the Stranger Things fandom, but in general fandom culture, showing the prevalence of this issue. Although this post will be looking specifically at byler, what I'm discussing in this post isn't an issue specific to byler, even if I will be considering some things that are byler specific, such as the likelihood of byler endgame.

Before we start, I just want to talk about why I'm talking about misogyny instead of homophobia (though homophobia will be discussed a little later but it's not going to be the main focus of this post). Homophobia and why people dismiss byler has already been talked about a lot (for example, I've seen posts about people saying that making byler endgame would be a 'risky' move and as Stranger Things produces a lot of money for Netflix, therefore they won't do it, the belief that they wouldn't/shouldn't break up a heterosexual ship for a homosexual one or the failure to put Will outside the 'tragic story of a gay kid that falls for their straight best friend' box).

The dismissal of byler as a 'valid' ship is just as much down to misogyny as it is homophobia and it's an issue that I haven't seen as talked about, likely due to how byler is made up of two guys. If anything I've seen way more people call the byler community misogynistic, and whilst these things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, I do want to open up the conversation about how misogyny deeply affects the public perception of byler and byler shippers as well as talk about how ingrained misogyny is in fandom culture.

The average dismissal of byler as a ship tends to look like this:

All bylers are teen girls.

All bylers are stupid and delusional.

The motivation to ship byler is born out of a fetish of mlm relationships.

Not only is this a summary of what that anon sent me in May, but it's also a rhetoric that can be seen across multiple anti byler statements/posts/comments etc. It's way more common than you may think.

So what is the fangirl stereotype?

A fangirl by Oxford dictionary definition is mainly characterised by the word "obsessive", which has been constantly portrayed in a negative light by the media, and isn't exactly a new phenomenon, with Beatlemaniacs being called "the dull, the idle, the failures" in a 1964 New Statesman article. In fact it hasn't been until the 2020s where the epidemic of constantly making fun of teen girls has finally been criticised.

The most common stereotype of a fangirl is someone who is screaming, crazy and rabid, with "rabid fangirl" having its own Urban Dictionary definition.

Even fangirls of fanbases that are most notorious for 'crazy, rabid fans' have come out and said that they have been misrepresented, such as the comments section of this documentary about One Direction fans made by Channel 4 in 2013.

The stereotype of having a fetish for mlm relationships.

Another common stereotype of fangirls is the fetishization of mlm relationships. Whilst this is a very real issue that needs to be addressed properly, I very clearly remember seeing women talking about "getting off" to scenes in Call Me By Your Name when the movie first came out, however this accusation is often misplaced, meaning it loses it's power as an accusation, leading to the perception that it isn't as big of an issue that it actually is.

Girls, women or even afab or feminine presenting people who ship two men together are often seen as people with fetishes and accused of such. Not only is this sexist as it assumes that women's interests are sexually motivated, but it also reduces women's intelligence by suggesting that the only reason that they are interested in it is because of a sexual factor. This also ties back to the oversexualisation of gay relationships due to traditional, religious, conservative roots- classic homophobia.

And whilst this might sometimes be the case, this ideology ignores something extremely obvious: not all fangirls are straight (which clearly shows why we need lesbian visibility day haha).

This era we are in right now seems to be the dawn of LGBTQ+ rep that seems to be more and more prevalent and the amount of mainstream movies and TV shows that have positive and well developed queer rep is growing day by day. However, queer representation had been previously very hard to find and even now is not perfect (remember that one lesbian purple cyclops from Onward that appeared for like 10 seconds, said the easily censorable word "girlfriend", and was then never seen again??).

Whilst fandom spaces with TV shows and movies such as Stranger Things may have lots of female or female presenting/aligned people, there is also an abundance of queer people in almost any fandom, especially one with existing queer characters or ones that claim to be "an anthem for the marginalised and imperfect", which of course leads to the abundance of queer women, and can also be seen in the byler tag.

However I do want to point out that obviously not all people in fandom spaces and the byler tag are female and/or queer, but a lot of them are and this does vary fandom to fandom. Furthermore, I really don't know the actual ratio of different genders specifically in the Stranger Things and byler fandom- however I feel that it doesn't matter as shipping and other fandom traditions have been associated with teen girls and women anyway. The suggestion that all bylers are teen girls is a sweeping overgeneralisation and the fact that it's used as an insult and a way to demean this ship is sexist.

Queer representation and shipping mlm ships- even if they are not canon.

So how does this link to the abundance of shipping male characters? This is clearly something that has been going on for a long time, as illustrated beautifully through this reddit post:

And you might be wondering that if there are a lot of queer women in these spaces, then why isn't there more sapphic ships? And of course the answer is misogyny.

Women in TV shows and movies are so often underdeveloped and fall victim to millions of sexist stereotypes that make them unlikeable and boring, such as 'damsel in distress', 'strong and unfeeling' or they just have a 2D personality. Furthermore, female characters in media are just less numerous in media. All of this is is we have measures of the Bechdel test.

This is also not helped by the constant cancellation of wlw shows after only one season, which does not allow for the development of the characters or their relationship (I Am Not Okay With This, Warrior Nun, First Kill, Willow, Paper Girls etc).

This idea is only supported by the arcane fandom, where the most prevalent ship is Caitlyn/Vi on pretty much every social media site and ao3, likely due to the focus and development on their relationship.

Moreover, male friendships often have a lot more focus on them than female characters and their relationships. This was particularly obvious and blatant in My Hero Academia, where despite Deku and Uraraka (the het ship) being set up to be endgame, the main relationship that has the most focus and development is the one between Deku and his friend turned enemy turned rival turned best friend (??) Bakugo.

Whilst positive and intricate male friendships are never a bad thing, it does become very annoying very fast when those pieces of media also push female characters to the sidelines (and then also oversexualise them, which is often seen particularly in anime and manga such as mha).

So it's no coincidence when mlm relationships become more popular through the want for queer representation, female characters being ignored and the male characters and friendships having better development (as well as the use of queerbait to bring in a wider audience). However, other fans with little critical thinking skills and the general audience tend to jump to the conclusion that the amount of mlm ships that include straight men (even though these 'straight' men are fictional and don't have confirmed sexualities) is due to fetishization and fans being "weird and delusional".

Back to byler.

So let's link this back to byler. One thing that drew me to make this post is due to how bylers have been called "delusional" which was a specific word I saw byler shippers being called a lot in the June/July era.

Even the word "delusional" implies a detachment from reality and one of the most common sexist views is that women can't lead or make good decisions due to their supposed inherent irrationality, which is apparently caused by hormones and being over emotional (despite testosterone being used as an excuse for cheating- high sex drive- and aggression issues as well as anger not being counted as an emotion. One of the biggest reasons that the stereotypes around fangirls are rooted in misogyny is due to the polar opposite treatment of male sports fans, which if you remember the insane violence that occurred when the fake Tubi ad appeared to disrupt the Super Bowl, this idea is insanely hypocritical).

It confused me as even from a general audience perspective, it would seem that byler at least had a decent chance of becoming endgame, so why is it being so easily dismissed?

It is because shipping, especially mlm ships, are strongly associated with fangirls and are therefore seen as weak, delusional and irrational, not something to be taken seriously and likely the product of a fetish.

Not only is this harmful for the perception of mlm relationships in media, but it also promotes internalised misogyny- distancing yourselves from "rabid fangirls" as soon as possible so that your not seen as one and are instead seen as more rational and sensible.

The powerful arc that Mike and Will have gone through for four seasons now doesn't matter, nor the fact that El's independence is linked with Mike's absence or even what the implications of mleven endgame for not just a queer audience but a general audience would be. None of that matters as ships like byler aren't taken seriously, they're dismissed, due to misogyny (and homophobia).

In conclusion, fuck the patriarchy, let's change fandom culture for the better.

Links to things I watched/read in order to help make this post (not including the misogynistic and homophobic is reddit/tumblr/twitter posts lol):

sophie im gonna need 10ccs of ur vampire genshin brainrot STAT

well, uh, first off i will link my vampy diluc x monster hunter!reader brainrot here bc i still think abt it sometimes (with obligatory dain angst at the end bc hes my fav sad man 🫶)

as for misc brainrot on the au that i most definitely just came up with on the spot, here are some examples that have me banging my head on the wall <33

vampire!alhaitham who never sets foot when the sun is out, opting to cling onto you, arms and legs trapping your sleep-induced body flush against his own, in an effort to keep your company beside him as daylight fades into night. however, that rarely manages to work, but a vampire can dream.

also him showing his liddol fangs because you asked, but not before warning you about its sharp points upon noticing your eager stare and the blatant twitch of your finger. though remain vigilant, lest you want your poor finger caught between his blunt teeth (at least he's mindful of his fangs when not in the presence of your neck. in spite of that, he's unrelenting when you ask him to release your finger, opting to instead clamp down just a bit more to watch you fluster.)

vampire!ayato who seemingly makes it his personal mission to tease you, his adorable beloved human, with the light grazes of fangs and soft lips along the surface of your skin, a chuckle or two arising upon sensing the increase in body temperature or appearance of goosebumps following in his wake.

he would also greatly enjoy moonlit strolls, your hand caressed within the confines of his own as you both venture out on a trip with no destination, only the comfort of the other's presence being your guide (there's an uncanny thrill in the unknown, but ayato finds himself most excited and surprised when in the throes of his newfound mundane life, never once experiencing a dull moment when by your side.)

vampire!dainsleif who is so very cautious with matters concerning you — more specifically, with how he acts around you. he's careful in your presence, perhaps fearing you'll crumble if he holds you too tightly, or slip away if he's too feather-light with his touch. with some reassurance and much-needed affection, perhaps you can get through to him you won't be going anywhere without him beside you.

there's a haunting beauty to him, one that never fails to make you gape in awe and cradle his cheeks with such tender adoration he can almost feel the weight of centuries upon centuries remove its heavy burden, attention honed into your smile and the affection diffusing from your palms into his moon-kissed cheeks (dainsleif finds his cold heart blooming with forgotten warmth when basking in your gaze and smile, a flutter once lost now returning full force alongside the desire to remain with you for as long as time will allow; even then, he will find a way to stay with you beyond that.)

#genshin x reader #dainsleif x reader #ayato x reader #alhaitham x reader #omg a convo !?#mutuals !!#sophie talks : concepts <3 #i basically wrote fic premises instead JKGHDSFKF #NO BUT VAMPIRE GENSHIN MEN WHERE??? WHERE !!!!!!#i need more of them in my life and if someone pushes me i will probably end up writing a fic abt them or smth #sobs i just want vampy genshin lovers is that too much to ask for 😔#also was not originally going in tags but i need to shove this au down everyones throats
