🔥 idw drift and how the fandom is about him?

Honestly my old 2021 vent post about Drift still holds up.

Drift, in my opinion, has a fantastic narrative arc about the struggle of living with yourself when historically ‘yourself’ is a huge prick and you hate him. It’s a character narrative you see a lot in MTMTE but I think Drifts arc threads the needle with the most success.

Drift lies to himself and others, he buys friendship, he desperately tries to weight the scales of his own soul through an initially botched religious fervour, he picks and chooses at his own convenience when his newfound moral code is rigid and when it’s flexible, all in search of an ethereal and elusive feeling of ‘forgiveness’. He wants to be allowed to be able to sleep at night.

It is ultimately futile, and his own self-awareness stops him from being able to settle and think ‘good enough’ and leave his crimes in the past. He decides throwing himself into hellfire faster is really the only true justice he can provide to the world before Ratchet grabs him by the scruff and pulls him bleating out of his own toxic head spiral of guilt and useless self-flagellation. He develops a more honest and coherent spirituality, he learns to allow others into his emotional space, he learns to live with himself. He grows up.

Idk whaddahell fandom does with this to get where they are sometimes. Dratchet in popular fanon is like Love Simon if Simon had a gun. Turning drift into a sexy slinky horny catboy is fine like, don’t be racist and have fun! But it loses a lot of its… texture. You run the risk of turning Drift from a largely self-motivated character who’s history with substance abuse and Being A Shithead forms a part of him that he hates but is still part of him into like… an edgy hazbin hotel alter ego.

I liked your voice in my head. I wish things were better so I could hear it more. Sorry...

SOME SAY MY VOICE SOUNDS LIKE LEATHER AND SAND PAPER.

Because you bully him so often, please say some nice things about the Master of Secrets. 🤭

OH, THIS IS EASY ACTUALLY

I BULLY HIM BECAUSE I LIKE HIM!

This isn't grade school sort of "haha I'm pulling your hair because I have a crush on you", this is very much "I want to understand you from every angle and faucet, you are fascinating to me, what is your DEAL"

Like okay. Flannán? To me, he is very much a very comfortable coat, I've had this coat for years, and it keeps me warm no matter what, I can always rely on this coat, Flannán mac Lugh is a character archetype I know and love dearly. I may not know every detail about him, but I know enough that is comfortable and it brings me back to him constantly. I know him in a way that feels intimate, even without all the details in place.

Keagan? I know this guy too. He's Jumin Han spliced with David Xanatos (which, yes, this specific association, with Xanatos, is one of the highest compliments I can give Keagan, dear anon, because it's David Motherfucking Xanatos) by way of Mister Miracle (2017) (warning: suicide discussion, gore, blood, unreality) in that Keagan has a lot of potentials, as a narrative arc, to go into a lot of fascinating and phenomenal questions. And, in spite of all of this familiarity, in seeing his face in different people, in seeing different I know completely people in him...I don't actually fully know him in a way that feels...complete.

Hence why I constantly propose putting him in numerous different scenarios that are tortuous for him, but also why I pair him with an MC who is, potentially, exactly what he needs: I want to unlock the puzzle box. Because I do like him.

3. roleplaying with yourself

send me a topic and i'll talk about it! / accepting

This is just writing. Sure maybe you do it across blogs to organise thoughts or??? who knows, I don't know the reason people space it out like that, but it is my firm opinion that is just writing. I write the 126 all talking amongst themselves all the time, and TK and Owen talking to each other, and sure it happens in the one post but that's essentially what this pariahed practice is, I just happen to do it in.. an acceptable way?

My opinion is if it is a way for you to have fun and it does not hurt anyone I fully support you having fun, I don't have enough energy to have strong passionate opinions about people just trying to live their lives and enjoy themselves 🤷‍♂️

... How can I roast Kirby? He's too pure!

Erm, ah...

I'm glad Elffilin isn't a sudden twist final enemy, and stays Kirby's friend throughout Forgotten Land.

There needs to be more humans in Kirby, too.

🔥on the transformers fandom?

I got a couple of these so;

I like it here! I have a lot of fun in the TF fandom, I love the source material, and I’d like to stick around and be silly here as long as I can! It’s a good size, it’s super weird, there’s a lot of people my age, it has a huge amount of fan infrastructure… it’s nice! Food gets put in my trough etc.

THAT SAID. That said. I have never been in a fandom before that had… such a low population of openly transfem or openly BIPOC/nonwhite artists, who are… allowed to be loud, comfortably. I’m friends with ppl in this fandom who, in public or no, will express a very real discomfort with speaking openly abt shit they deal with in the fandom and issues they don’t feel comfortable bringing to light because they (correctly) predict a knee-jerk harassment from members of fandom.

And it’s not uncommon for this to be the case, but it is uncommon for it to exist in a queer fandom that otherwise posits itself as extremely open-minded. I think it has something to do with the general barrier of entry (robots/cars) that stops a lot of tf fandom posts from breaking containment and getting eyes from outside the bubble, but the result is a lot of… comfortable white afab fandomgoers who go unchallenged on their shit.

This doesn’t really affect me personally; I’m white and I’m transmasc, but in my opinion it does contribute to a level of imaginative decay, where new ideas aren’t allowed the oxygen needed to challenge existing popular opinion lest they offend the privileged majority, and it’s quite sad. I genuinely don’t know how to go about fixing something this entrenched other than being openly annoying about it as often as possible.

🔥🔥🔥(Fire in the hole!)

MOBILE ANSWER BUT

1. Can we talk about the misogyny in this fandom? Especially towards female ocs? Some of the finest ASOIAF characters I've ever seen on this site has been female ocs. Some of the best characters I've written have been female ocs. And yet this fandom FLOCKS and FAWNS over muns who portray male characters. As if they're BETTER than the female characters. Better than the female ocs. And it's absolutely abhorrent every time i see it.

Especially considering the amount I've seen people ONLY want male muses to ship with just to ship and not interested in the actual relationship. I love interacting interacting Dee and her muses because of the relationships she helps me explore and build. And even if some of our characters marry those marriages are not always romantic. You can have just as much fun in this fandom with female characters, but God forbid you get this fandom to admit that

And I say that as someone who loves a good ship. Its good shit. In this house we love and respect female ocs and their muns probably more than the muns of male canon characters just because of the stuff this fandom puts them through.

Secondly. This fandom needs to work on its communication. Especially given how misogynistic it gets - and no it's not misogynistic to not like female characters. You don't have to like ever character. Especially female characters who use the Patriarchy against other female characters. This is an intentional dig at some parts of this fandom, and no i will not elaborate. The girls who know, know, and those who dont... anyway. I'm not against ending mutuals because it's not working anymore. Either because of writing styles, character interpretation, just not vibing - whatever. Life is life. But expressing that to someone is usually better than just straight ghosting or blocking. Now this is different if they're an awful person, of course, or you've never interacted but you know you don't wanna - but this fandom is awful at communicating communicating each other. Roleplaying is a hobby, and hobbies are very much meant to be enjoyable. If you've got no intentions of making it enjoyable for someone - don't waste their time. (This is not a dig at people in different timezones to each other. Im in a different time zone to a majority of you). I'm trying to articulate this thought so muxh better and it's probably coming out wrong, but - COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT IN ALL RELATIONSHIPS.

Which is why I acknowledge to my dash that I am slow often. And what sparks the muse sparks the muse - and I will also be working on letting people know "hey muse isn't responding to that thing rn, will get to it when muse is."

Thirdly, can't believe I have to say this - the fact that book fans mostly kept their mouths shut when GOT was airing but GOT fans have been spoiling HOTD with clips from GOT that people weren't thinking of has been extremely annoying and disheartening to see. Now I have told people yes, such and such get married but only after it's been stated by someone else. Or someone asked. But the incessant need to spoil this show to casual watchers is - literally stop it.

I'm still not really sure how much of me you actually see when you look at me, but that doesn't really bother me. You've been around here about as long as I can remember. It's nice, there's not a lot of us left from back then. I still keep thinking I have to set up a non-electric cooking session with you one of these days!

I THINK I KNOW WHO THIS IS, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO JOIN YOU!

SO LONG AS IT'S EQUIPMENT THAT WON'T EXPLODE ON USE, I'D LOVE TO COOK WITH YOU.

AND YEAH, YOU'LL SEE ME FOR A GOOD LONG WHILE I THINK. I'M GOING NO WHERE, AND I'LL BE SURE TO STAY AWAY FROM POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROJECTS.

Opinion meme: the druids/arch druid >:3

SO NDM DRUIDS

I have a CONSPIRACY BOARD

With every new piece of information we get about the druids, I am CONSTANTLY kept in suspicion about them and QUITE FRANKLY I love the idea of there being an antagonistic faction of druids in TNN who are up to or behind a couple different things:

Setting up Lugaid (both as a ruler, with his claim of being Lugh reincarnated, but also as a politician in general, setting him up to divide a united land and making it certifiably weaker for other forces [such as the Fomorians, who are not dead or even fully gone] to take TNN)

Hiding the princess away (either helping her or holding her against her will; I’m flexible)

Holding the seasons of TNN and making them stagnant in order to have a land that essentially works as a greenhouse for magical ingredients and conditions (ie need snow for a ritual that also requires dew from summer? Gorias and Falias can provide both easily)

It certainly doesn’t help with the knowledge that most druids come from well to do families, all of which are raised with a certain level of privilege and a lot of the institution has a lot of money going into it to get certain noble children into certain positions.

But yes, hello, I love druids in NDM and I love them as villains, yes. I also have a big magic meta post about how I think magic in NDM works and, long story short, I think the druidic orders as we know it/them are also stagnating magic theory and thought in order to keep druids and sorcerers under a certain level of control, by framing magic as seasonal and only certain seasons doing certain things to set up an inequality to use and abuse (sample thoughts: if only spring can heal and with the current seasonal alignments, does that mean most-to-all healers are Seelie-aligned? What about any overlap in seasonal thematics between the seasons, how is it decided what exactly goes where? And, if everything can be redefined and manipulated by magic as things seem, whose definition of seasonal anything is all of this based off of, within the setting itself?)

AS FOR THE ARCHDRUID, THEY ARE MY NEMESIS AND FRANKLY THE ARCHDRUID LIVES IN MY HEAD AS RENT FREE AS FLANNÁN AND FINN. I would ADORE the Archdruid as a big bad. GIMME. I love to hate this outline of a character. I don’t even know their pronouns for sure yet (I will be digging in the transcript on Tuesday, tomorrow, so I will finally know), I just. Shakes fist.

Ben smiled, his eyes shining with a touch of mischief as he leaned forward on his elbows. “You are brazen, sharp-tongued, and the worst of influences on my time management -- there are only so many times I can visit the stockade and library without raising suspicion, you realize -- and yet somehow, you are also ethereal and charming, and all-consuming of one’s thoughts.” He arched a brow and smirked. “I would say of my thoughts, but I’d hate to add ‘burgeoning vanity’ to the list.”
