re: the hbomberguy plagiarism video again. i keep seeing people being like "this is a reminder to always check your sources" and it leaves me wondering. does anyone on this website even understand what that means

#i haven't watched the video or the toddintheshadows videos yet so this 'reminder' might make more sense in context #but the thing about plagiarism is that 'checking your sources' won't necessarily work #if you get lucky you might find the original thing that the plagiarist is stealing from #if you're not lucky you'll just find the sources the original used and it'll seem like it checks out #and THAT'S why plagiarism is so insidious #and 'checking' gets a lot more complex once you're looking into theory over pure facts #or. like. the general vibes of a fandom #anyway an important aspect of evaluating a source is to ask who the information is coming from #and you should basically never blindly trust some rando online with no relevant credentials #not even me. not even mr. hbomberguy

A (somewhat) genuine “What your favourite hermit says about you” chart because my joke one was so popular

Obvious disclaimer: do not take too seriously! these aren’t necessarily true! this is like 50% a joke! i mean everything here positively!

i am still right though. anyways let me know who you are I’m a zed fan

#some of these were hard because I haven’t encountered too many blogs that were HUGELY dedicated to a hermit #like cub was easy. there are a billion convex accounts. they all have the same vibes. #on the other hand. very few gem stress jevin hypno etc #like there were some I could find but only one or two per. so I went off their youtube fandom and general vibes #also some of these are more specific than others. sorry about that. same reasons as specified I just may not have encountered fans of them #much. or the things I could think of were kind of unsuitable for this #anyways let me know how accurate I was #locus fandom time #hermitcraft #mcyt #hermitblr #hermitcraft memes #shitpost

Fans, nonfans and even hatewatchers please reblog this! I'm very curious to see what the major offboarding points were, to help with a personal project I'm working on.

#riverdale #poll #now that the show is over i want to seriously work on my retrospective but since i watched this largely in isolation from the larger fandom #id like to know what the general vibe is around certain aspects of the show #so this will be very helpful!

I like to imagine that her gentleness is genuine

Im expecting her to still be alive in some way #Esp so we can find out why she left penacony #and her connection to the family #my hope is for her to be out of place in the place that should perfectly fit her vibe #alternatively itd be rlly funny if she was like. evil. not evil evil but more like Hey Remember How The Harmony Is A Hivemind

one of my favorite things about carry on fandom (at least as it has existed since i joined in 2021) is that no one gets hung up on like... writing expertise or fics being "out of character." this is especially impressive because there is SO MUCH character analysis that goes on in this fandom, and yet it never translates to dunking on interpretations of characters that ppl disagree with. there's just genuine joy over the face that people are out here writing and sharing and putting their own twists on stories.

in general, everyone is just so encouraging abt art, and that's such a wonderful environment for people who are new to writing/sharing their writing. and for people who are not new but still feel nervous about putting themselves out there. it's really special! i think it's similar for visual art too

#i know i dont write much snowbaz anymore but i genuinely think that #fanfic (and fiction writing in general) probably wouldnt be such a big part of my life if not for #how enjoyable is was to write for carry on fandom. #i learned so fucking much about writing and about why *i* enjoyed writing #because i just felt so safe putting stuff out there and doing the ugly parts of learning #without fear that i was gonna piss someone off or get dragged or criticized or something LOL #idk man im just in my feelings abt this rn #quiet lil shoutout to kris and pal and aralias and all the other people who go the extra mile to rly influence this into the #comfortable space it is. like these vibes are not accidental

I wanna make a small long furby that vaguely resembles this guy so bad rn

#can you imagine the relentless exec notes lmao #mark ruffalo can grow into a zero body fat gym rat but kevin we have to make her fuckable for the maga demo #i dont really know the history of the character so this is me punching in the dark but it seems so off lmao #giving off those warcraft orc vibes #text #edit: unfortunately this made it into the fandom tags so let me reiterate. i am dissapointed in a very casual sort-of larger popculture way #i have no granular context on the character/her history/comics interpretations; i just know what the word 'hulk' means #and what ruffalo's hulk looks like #and what the general state of the mmo sex options debacle is. and it just sucks to me #the overall optics of all this. that is all #i mean she does look like a slightly larger green woman so why the CG at all? why make it uncanny? but that's a separate topic altogether #please just dont take this whole post too seriously

damn why’s my dashboard filled with ice cold & annoying England takes tonight.

#maybe it’s just time to sleep #but MAYBE #MAYBEEEEE #people need to get over the their ‘hahaha England is so ugly’ phase #but ya know how it is #Riva.txt #this isn’t anything personal btw it’s like the general vibe from multiple character and ship posts #form different times and corners of the fandom #it just seems all that stuff collects on MY dashboard rn #which means #off I go to my DMs

in my jason feels again….

#he’s like. the epitome of a hidden tragedy to me #especially with the way part of the fandom hates/hated him #idk maybe it’s cause i can just relate to his general vibe #just how he was the rule follower. perfect in every way he could be #and yet. and yet. he failed #he was always less than percy from the moment they met to everyone else #percy who has never once followed the rules but also came out on top of jason #how he was always criticized as boring or a moral less leader #but when did he have the opportunity to learn not to be? at the roman camp since 2????? #all the expectations placed on him as jupiters son that in the end he could never hope to achieve #these thoughts are probably disjumbldd and bad but yea. jason feels are so happening rn #pjo #hoo #pjo/hoo #jason grace #coming back to this cause i forgot to add my most important thought #the fact that so many readers hated him from the very beginning because he was not percy #it’s just. so devastating

james sirius would have a goofy silly ass theme song like reigen arataka

#he gives me con-man vibes #wearing suits around the place and overselling mid sweets to first years #its bcuz hes a manipulative older sibling and he needs little servants to do his bidding and make his life easier #every time hes gaslighting a random stranger in front of one of his cousins/siblings whove alr lived thru this ordeal that theme comes out #may be niche idk what other fandoms the next gen fandom likes besides. like. heartstopper. #james sirius potter #harry potter #hp #hpcc #cursed child #harry potter next generation #hp nextgen #hp next gen #rewriting

Good Omens Headcanon #12234: Demons can sense love just as well as angels can, same stock and all that, but like any skill, there’s varying levels of natural talent involved and Crowley is not especially sensitive to the sensation (see: he has the love-radar of a brick). This is particularly infuriating to Aziraphale who, in lieu of a confession, was hoping Crowley would simply notice his blaze of eternal love for the man-shaped demon and that would be that.  

Bonus: Aziraphale tries to help Crowley hone his love-sensing skills but is left thumping his head against the wall as Crowley keeps mistaking grass pheromones for love flashes. 

#today I bring you another half-baked hc based on two lines from the book and their general *vibes* #tomorrow? who knows ~ #I feel like everything has been thought of in this fandom already though #so someone lmk if there’s a fic based on this #good omens headcanon #good omens #book omens #aziraphale

See, here's the thing that kills me about the popularity of the nonbinary Xion headcanon, is that Xion was not assigned male at birth before she transed her gender.

She was assigned agender at birth.

Xion is constantly getting misgendered throughout all of Days, and it visibly upsets her every time, but crucially she is not being misgendered by being called 'he'! She is being misgendered in a dysphoria-causing way by being referred to as not having any gender, let alone the gender she knows she has (which is girl). She has a full-blown crisis when she finds out she was not born a girl. The narrative also positions everyone who refers to her with non-gendered pronouns as doing active harm to her or as being villainous in that moment; Saix constantly calling her 'it,' DiZ scoffing at Namine using "she" to refer to Xion. The narrative is clear that what is upsetting and dysphoric to Xion is being referred to as having no binary gender, even moreso than being forced to become masculine, which only becomes an added layer of dysphoria at the very end of the game.

That being the case... WHAT is the deal with why it is so popular to misgender her in the exact same way? She's a girl. She transed her gender so hard she forced other people to literally see her as a girl even though her physical body was a doll's.

- Is it that this fandom doesn't think she 'passes' well enough, so she can't really be a girl like she says she is?

- Is it that this fandom thinks that even if she says she's a girl, her body doesn't have female sex characteristics so she can't really be a girl, she must be what her body dictates she is?

- Is it that she's not demure and soft like the other two girls with her face, so she can't really be a girl like them? That girls don't have open and assertive body language?

- is it that she was born from Sora, so she can't really be a girl because her origin was a boy and she must be somewhere in the middle?

- is it just an empathy gap, where people can't identify with a trans girl and need to make her less trans somehow? An inability to square the idea of choosing a binary gender on purpose? An inability to see why she would choose to be a girl specifically? Is it the thing where so many people in fandom right now can't get invested in characters unless they're "just like me frfr" and so she can't be a trans girl?

What is it?? Why is the ONE canon trans girl not allowed to be a trans girl? When there is an entire cast of characters to otherwise choose from whose narratives are not SPECIFICALLY ABOUT being trans and a girl? I simply do not get it.

#wanted to clarify my stance here that the tags on the last post i reblogged were not like. #discouraging the idea of non-binary headcanons generally #but like it's a problem with THIS CHARACTER SPECIFICALLY and the trend just seems. so unexamined #i don't think anybody is being malicious i just think people aren't thinking #the validation of 'vibes' as in 'idk i just have a gut feeling but i don't need to examine this at all' has i been a net negative for fandom
