Origins of the Oncest ship: the history

Travelling in The Once-ler's fandom history | by suemooon

Welcome Oncelings!

to one of my most serious researchers I have ever done before, now, here’s a little explanation:

I wanted to make a fandom analysis using old posts, the way back machine, and other stuff to try to compare the once-ler fandom in its golden age and now, trying to suppose how it was and trying to see what happened there, but it would be later. Because I got a really interesting capture that I got while I was checking the Oncest tag in the wayback machine, and I got this:

IT QUICKLY GOT MY ATTENTION

Someone saying that they were the first ones to show the Oncest ship term.

I wanted to see if it was real and not a joke or something like that, so I copied the url of the tumblr and desired that the blog is still up, and I got it!!!

I explored their tumblr for a little while, and I noticed another thing, there’s a bunch of photos of the once-ler BEFORE the movie of the Lorax came out, this of course means that ye, there was some people who found the once-ler attractive and begun to share his pictures in tumblr (without any tag, if it wasn’t the help of this blog and some other ones, I probably couldn’t got them).

This makes a lot more sense than saying that the once-ler fandom was born after the came out of the movie I can say.

Those pictures belongs to all the Lorax trailers, in which ONLY appears the gray once-ler, not greedler. So we can say that the people who find him attractive in the beginning, the greedler was like a kind of “plot twist”

But the topic of the whole fandom will be for my another analysis, now let’s try to focus on Oncest.

2. Possible date of apparition

In my research, it seems that Oncest was born between 19th March, 2012, but where did I took this supposition?

Checking the dates between their first Oncest mentions (and also checking other old inactive once-ler’s blogs), there’s some important dates to make a highlight.

In this screenshot, someone responds that this pairing has a name, this is from March 22, 2012, so the ship already existed and had a name too, so let’s check out the other blogs and their archives.

temporarilycheating

squidmama

Suddenly we see Oncest fanart.

The dates are between 19th and later, is this the origin of the ship?

Of course this is just a supposition, I had to see it at that time to prove it, but it’s not the case. All I can do is make suppositions.

You can take it as something true or fake, that’s your opinion.

3. Who was the original person who brought up with the Oncest idea?

This one was one of the most complicated things that you can try to research, we are talking about something that is 11 years old, so some pretty amount of information got lost with the time.

In words of temporarilycheating.

IT’S CALLED ONCEST BECAUSE I SAID SO! Lol but really…actually, I’m kinda the one who came up with the name in the first place… The pairing existed, but I think it was originally called twincest or something… But anyhow, in month one of the fandom, back when Sirsteeve made some of the first oncest fanart the fandom went CRAZY over the idea…and so did i. So I was sitting in my living room having a feels moment over this new OTP…but since the fandom didn’t really have a name for it, it made me think… It came to my mind that the fandom was somewhat dividing the once-ler into two seperate people of the same relation-oncie and greed-ler. To me, it sounded like incest. So I played around with that idea a bit in my head. And after saying incest repeatedly in my head I noticed the ‘ce’ in the word. I came to the conclusion to 'once’ in addition to the 'est’. thus 'oncest’. I had a fangasm and posted my idea to tumblr ASAP. Apparantly, it caught on cuz it’s still called oncest today and is widely known C: That has to be one of my greatest achievements in this fandom.

link to post: https://temporarilycheating.tumblr.com/post/25857778616/why-is-it-called-oncest

There's a small mention to someone named "Sirsteeve" who explains that were one of the firsts ones to draw Oncest.

I searched and their oldest Oncest post I found is this one.

Date: March 19th, 2012 by: sirsteeve ( hour - 5:22 PM )

So we have in our eyes one of the first Oncest post ever.

Is that the original Oncest post? I don’t know, it only says that is ONE of the first persons in the fandom who brought up the idea. Is it made by one person or a group of people? I don’t know.

Other very first posts about Oncest:

Date: March 19th, 2012 by: cartoonjunkie ( hour - 10:39 PM, 5 hours later after sirsteeve )

Date: March 20th, 2012 by: owlapin

Date: March 21st, 2012 by: rutella

4. Who gave the name of "Oncest"?

GUYS!!!! I KNOW WHAT TO CALL THE PAIRING!!!!! Y'know, once-ler/green suit once-ler!???? IT SHOULD BE CALLED ONCEST!!!! GET IT!? Its like incest, but with himself! :D WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK!? If you like the idea, reblog this to spread the word! :D

Date: March 20th, 2012

It seems it’s true, temporarilycheating was the one who created the Oncest term, we should give her more recognition for it!

link to post: https://www.tumblr.com/temporarilycheating/19650360910/guys

Conclusion

Second part? who knows. But the only thing I can say is… this one was one of my most complicated things to find, but now I got some important information. I'm here for you to share my knowledge!

I must say, I’m very proud of me for this, you guys have no idea how excited I got when I found these photos and data, maybe is not too much but I think they’re really important yet; this information forms part of our fandom history, and I think we should keep that information up and don’t lose it.

As a reminder too, as I already said once…

Oncest is like an icon for our dear Once-ler Fandom, whether we like it or not.

We can’t deny its existence, we can’t blame it, we can’t try to delete it, it always will exist as always the fandom will exist and some people like it.

And… My opinion about Oncest?

Well, I don’t hate it, I don’t love it thou, but I can like some posts about it, I can appreciate art from this ship, and it’s idea too.

Any reblog, like, and comment it's appreciated!

Ryoji go go go!

favorite thing about them

Ive said it before ill say it again. his deep love for humanity and joy in life makes my heart ache. i adore how deeply emotional he is and how deeply he cares about not only the protagonist but all of humanity

least favorite thing about them

I mean. Atlus moment hot springs scene lmfao

favorite line

hold on i used to have these all memorized i have to think abt this for a second... right. ive always been a fan of his final speech at the very end:

"He's found the answer to life's greatest question. It just happened a bit sooner than it will for the rest of you. Aigis... You'll find the answer one day as well. You, too, are a precious living thing..."

brOTP

Honestly him and junpei's interactions are so good i wish we got more of them, it sounds like reload did that which is great but i will not be buying it HEART

OTP

yeah. i mean. if i ever had an OTP of all time its gonna be ryomina. nothing beats them and i compare everything to them.

nOTP

eh i dont really have one lol

random headcanon

remember when i talked abt photography club ryoji ages ago i still think abt that i really love the idea of him getting into artistic hobbies, he would take tons of pictures of his friends...

unpopular opinion

The world actually reshapes itself around my opinions so that what i say is always popular and accepted by everyone so i cannot answer this x

song i associate with them

haha its not like i have an entire ryoji playlist or anything-- but yeah this is probably my #1 ryoji song its at the start of the playlist for a reason. but actually this makes me want to rearrange the playlist to be like. a journey through the game so its pre-dec3rd and post dec3rd.... in which case this would not be at the start. HMMMM

favorite picture of them

THERES SO MANY. THERES SO many first of all i want to post this pic of me as him in lethal company bc i love this image

ok but for serious.

does it get any better than this? does it? does it get any better than this i dont think that it does. i have stared at this for 1000 hours.

for the ask game - 9 & 23! 🫶🏻

9: Write a recommendation of someone else’s fic you enjoyed!

“Cry Me a Liver” by @babsvibes It’s got everything you can want in a Louigan fic: Sad man-baby Logan, Louise, and Logan are miserable about the breakup, yet the hilarious thing is that neither one of them actually remembers or knows why they broke up in the first place. 😂 And you gotta love Gene and Tina for being the greatest siblings ever trying to figure out what happened! I love Tina and Louise’s dynamic, but I especially love Logan and Gene in this fic! Gene is just amazing in this fic, and I love them. Gene’s personality is just so perfectly written in this fic, and I adored this fic so much. And I was one of the people who, of course, loves pathetic Logan, and I got my juice and more lol.

I definitely recommend this fic to anyone who hasn’t read it; it’s a gem. 💕💕💕

23: Has your favorite character/ship changed over time?

The pairing between Lisa Simpson and Jessica Lovejoy has been with me for so loooong. I can’t say it’s changed, as my love for it is still going strong after all these years. They have been my OTP since I was 17 to 18 years old, and I think they’ll be my OTP until the day that I die. 🥹💕💕💕

Tell me about your girls

Hey thanks for the asks! Going to do both WR and CW cause I miss all my girls equally

Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’ ? I really think its a Schnee move not going to lie, because I can see the Schnees earlier on in relationships being the kind of people who have a far easier time performing love through actions much less through words. So its something which is blurted in frustration far less than something passionately offered, especially if its an argument about the actions of the other. Like Cinder being all horrible to herself or Ruby valuing a mission more than herself.

8. What happens if one of them gets sick? CW: Winter is the worst at actually being sick, well they both kind of are, but she'll be the one to dismiss everything of a symptom as just being a cold. She could be 90 degrees and still just say she has a stuffy nose and she's fine to continue on as normal. Cinder is pretty close to the same except she will make every one aware of how much this illness is doing to her temper with just glares alone. The other is usually the one of the pair to finally convince their other half to just lay down with some medication and calm. Not a lot of babying I feel as much as just very concerned and frustrated that they're failing to take care of themselves. WR: Weiss gets bed ridden sick if she ever does otherwise she's a lot like her sister in that she can still think she can do anything. And by bed ridden I mean Ruby is by her side forcing her to rest because no you should not be doing so much when you're that pale and can't retain fluids. Ruby is by her side a lot regardless, probably even getting her to her work on the days where the illnesses are not that bad; bonus if she sticks around the whole day to make sure Weiss is drinking still. Ruby likely doesn't get ill a whole lot because of her metabolism but when she does its so gross, lots of tissues, moaning, and gurgling the whole way through that makes Weiss forced to play the nurse--though she isn't declining she gets to perform her love through action in the biggest way this time.

20. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship. I already gotchu boo

26. What are their vices? CW: I think Cinder and Winter both smoke, it was much more Winter's thing initially from the army and Atlas, but when Cinder is around the taste of cigarettes on Winter's tongue just eventually makes it way into Cinder's and the pack isn't that far behind. For Winter it was a way to destress without losing her faculties like drinking, and for Cinder it was something which got her to be around Winter more often especially during the early post war. Where a better place to get away from the bigger crowds than a smoke on the terrace with just the two of them?

WR: Ruby I tend to think of having the procrastinator's vice, its not that she devalues or doesn't want to do things its just she purposefully stuffs her schedules and workload so that every thing is coming down on her while she is doing other things. So to avoid the stress and horrid nature of having so much going on she's more likely to ignore and reorient herself into some other project or thing where she can get quick gratification from the success. Weiss I think is a little more all over the place, she's smoked once because Winter did, hated the taste, doesn't drink often, but she works a ton to the point where her free time is just an extended work period. Would be the kind of person to put 'my greatest weakness is I work too much' on a resume.

30. Your OTP gets to pick out each other’s outfits; what is each wearing? CW: Winter is making Cinder wear something regal and refined, probably is very much red and gold, looks more like a Duke or Duchess than anything. It isn't something Cinder will complain about but the layers aren't helping. Cinder probably either has Winter finally just wear something which doesn't have a button up or collar on a casual day, or is also wanting Winter to feel some value in herself in a show off sort of way. Open backed dress or cut and polished suit both are on the table. Lots of silvers and royal blue.

WR: Weiss I think would value Ruby wanting to be comfortable but she wants to see Ruby in something more refined than that hoodie and slacks sort of getup. Probably leans more on the polished vest and suit side of things, maybe a little bit of grunge or alt influence in there too with some jewellery and accessories. Just knows to stay away from heels. Ruby though is practically begging Weiss to stop being a fashionista for one day, just wear the jean jacket or hoodie and some normal pants or skirt. Not every outfit needs heels and put the pound of jewellery down, just some good comfy clothes.

42. What’s their favorite type of weather to enjoy together? (getting snowed in together, watching thunderstorms, etc.) CW: Weirdly I think Cinder and Winter's preferred weather is probably the snow. It gives them a lot of excuses to put the world on pause and its not nearly as violent as lightning and thunder. The cold is not much of an issue for either of them but the look of wind whipping snowflakes all around is something so wonderful to see in the background as a day of working from home turns into tea and coffee and some reprieve.

WR: The sun is their mainstay, rain is too draining and the snow and cold is too reminiscent of their time in Argus or Atlas alone. The sun though, bright spring mornings and warm summer days on Patch or Vale is a thing of simpler times and can just be a subtle reminder that they made it to the other side of it all after the fact. It also helps that the warmth allows them to just take it easy for once, and Weiss blood pressure can be reduced without worrying about Ruby taking her out into the snow or rain again.

50. who’s more likely to do something out of spite? CW: Oh Cinder for sure, most often I think spite is her way of reaffirming she is not about to be told around to do something or what have you. Especially in the case of its like post fight or argument, Cinder is off in the apartment blaring music loud and blending nothing because she needs to make sure the appliances work while Winter is bitterly typing away on work.

WR: Weiss, yeah Weiss would be the one to make a point of doing things because "Who else is going to?" and making it a whole passive aggressive thing. Like loudly making a show of 'clearing space' and its just her organizing Ruby's workbench mid project instead of her cluttered workspace.

| A DANCE WITH DINARRÓN: Narcos Mexico/Tax Collector AU Crossover |

… aka an exercise in pure OTP self-indulgence but I don’t care cuz I don’t even care

═

Mira, let’s get this out the way, right quick.

If ever you think a Dinarrón post is my last, you’ve probly underestimating my ability to test everyone’s patience by hyperfocusing on one thing and taking to the interwebs to scream about it. Te lo juro I can and will be going for miles with this shit sksjsjsjsj. Having said that, I don’t have thaaat much to scream in all caps about? Like shits kinda speaks for itself.

✷

Howmever I do hereby submit to the official record: David Ayer’s the greatest gift to this earth not stiff competition aksksks bc so sorry Mr. Ayer but most of your movies are hot!garbage pero fun hot!garbage so (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Ayer’s actual #1, capital T, Top contribution to history is not the movie Tax Collector but is this scene from the movie Tax Collector

…. of not our David Barron but still a Bobby-Soto-looking Eme gangster named David Barrón Cuevas … FUCKING 💃🏻SALSA💃🏻 DANCING LIKE ARE YOU FORREAL TRYING TO HAVE ME KILLED

✷

And with this gift, Ayer basically fueled the fire for this mind-meld of Dinarrón dancing, aaand it’s basically the sole reason for me waking up in the morning, it basically maaade the Dinarrón Blue Jeans vid bc I basically only decided to add TC clips after seeing the uncanny similarities to Dina’s wedding.

✷

It’s like Ayer actually Freddy Kruegered me, plucked the scene straight from my Dinarrón dreams bc the way it fits so well with the scenes of her lil dance routine have me Lebron-tear-ing to the goddamn moon.

✷

And since I first saw this hot!garbage movie, can conservatively say that I think about this mmm like twice a day. Like they’re not even from the same movie/show, but in my mind, they’re irrevocably fused together like this did just happen. It is canon wedding instead of what actually happened aka Min yelling at Barrón for drinking agua mineral and calling him Pancha’s “gente”

✷

OH AND how weird is it to see our boy smile ?? Barrón barely speaks a word sksks so like smile!??!!?! Pffft pls. Mans is a sicario, no tiene tiempo para eso curling-the-corners-of-his-mouth-to-express-joy mamadas. He’s too busy smoldering for no goddamn reason and white-lady-math-meme-ing his surroundings for threats both of which look remarkably similar re: what his face is doing.

Also this/ks:’kskamb mf hip swivel Dina doin in that last one🥴 sending me into full fucking heart palpitations. Like her booty alone, Jesus that booty does not get the gotdamn recognition it deserves in this fandom.

*slams hands on table like overzealous cop during an interrogation, stands up too forcefully knocks over own chair*

And YOU KNOW WHAT? I’m here before the court today, your honor, to atone for that sin. And since you’re dying to know, yes, being a martyr for The Cause is indeed a thankless job with no 401K or health benefits but I hear they’re gonna paint some real nice pictures of me after I’m dead, so clearly a fair trade.

Hi I'm AvMila anon. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️ AAAAAaaaaahhhhhhh sorry for screaming. But you inaugurating the Ava/Camila tag on ao3 with your own piece is just... It's top 5 one of the sweetest things someone has done for me. You truly looked at my crackship and said why not and went ahead and created the very first entry, and probably the only one lol, but that's so considerate. Thank you truly. I enjoyed it, and I loved DocSuperion's cameo. Jillian finding them cuddling and surely thinking to herself "well, aren't all of us at this house a little (a lot) fruity"

I read your elaboration on the "spam" thing. I get it now, I didn't understand what the issue was at first, but you explained it well. I have had something similar happen in other fandoms, I wasn't much into the main pairing and my ship was also just sort of floating around them as accessories to them. And yeah it's disappointing. It would be good and also kind of authors to mention, hey my main focus will be this ship or these 2 characters, all other tags point to support roles so they won't get much spotlight or development. Thank you again, you're very kind :) I loved what you wrote for my little crazy ship

Hello again!

Oh, I'm very, very happy to know that ficlet was to your liking <3 You're very much welcome.

I'm not exactly popular but hey, who knows, maybe someone else will look at it and get a little idea for a story to tell about Ava and Camila as well -- and perhaps give the tag a little push forward in the process. I hope so!

And, you know, I'd consider something like JC/Miguel more of a crackship than Ava/Cam. To me, only one out of those two pairings could have an internal logic with the correct build-up (although I wouldn't censor anyone willing to make JC/Miguel a thing, LOL. To each their own, but THAT's something I wouldn't touch!) I'm sure the avatrice diehards might disagree with me (and, to be fair, as a Jillian/Suzanne diehard, I'm myself irrationally protective of my OTP and wouldn't be caught near any other pairing that involved either Jillian or Superion -- I, too, have my childish shipping faults :)), but I can see something in there for Ava and Camila, it does makes sense. Even if just for a small little scene like the one I wrote -- why not, you know?

I sometimes wonder if people don't get a bit too attached to longfic. I imagine it has its charms, but as someone who prefers to write smaller but "tighter" stories, fooling around with other ships comes a lot easier. I'm not bound to a leviathan ninety-eight chapter story and can just play with different concepts in each little fic that comes to mind. And it's fun, what can I say? I had a blast writing Ava/Cam for you that day. It's not the greatest thing ever written in the history of English Literature, granted, but then it doesn't have to be which is a good reminder for myself as I struggle with my current doctor superion project... Ahem.

As for the "spam" deal, yeah, I thought it had just been miscommunication and you'd know what I meant if I just explained it a little better, so I'm glad that got cleared up as well. I don't think certain corners of the fandom will ever come across this series of posts that took place on my blog this week, so I'm not hopeful that the conversation will reach those it should reach as concerns tagging, but who knows. Fandoms were more organised once, perhaps they might again find it in their hearts to remember we don't all like the same things and that it would be a welcome courtesy to take us into consideration when tagging for alternative ships.

Anyway. Thanks for stopping by again! And let me reiterate how happy I am to know that you enjoyed my humble offering to your ship! <3

#chats with anon #correspondence #suppose i'll tag this with the meta tag as well since the longfic x shortfic comment could classify #meta fandom talk i guess #keeping my fingers crossed for more people to write some ava/cam so you don't feel so alone anon!#and ha you caught my total inability to write wn stuff without including jillian and suzanne in some capacity did you? :)

You know, whatch "How I Met Your Mother" started shortly after it ended because a friend adored It. The first thing I saw were individual chapters of Barney and Robin's relationship and the romance with Stella and I saw until the beginning of the last season. I knew the mother died and everyone hated the ending, I knew my OTP dissolved and she went back to Ted and I knew there was an alternate ending. A few months ago I reviewed some posts on your master list and said: I should finish it. 1/?

It probably would have been better to see everything from the beginning, but I wasn't interested in Ted and I just wanted to make my own opinion about the ending and the Mother. I actually really liked that season. But I thought the whole last episode was 💩 for almost all of them. I look, of course, for the alternate ending because it MUST be good. Now, I didn't know *what* was actually happening, I naively thought the mother didn't die and hoped my OTP would still be together. After all they only broke up to get together Robin and Ted . I actually thought the alternate ending was WORSE and that feeling increased when reading the YT comments. It was about people being happy not because He eliminated the whole show from being an excuse to tell his children "I want to get back with Robin" (Which I would have understood) was because the greatest joy they had was seeing Robin... Being miserable and getting what he deserved for not loving Ted They enjoy watching her suffer, laughing at how pathetic she was and everything... Everything had a terribly misogynistic undertone that made me want to scream and I was wondering if you've ever written about Robin's narrative and how the ending impacted her, which both show that wanting a career and rejecting the God Guy™ ends in misery. I tried to review and only got chemistry stuff, sorry if you already talked about this. By the way, I really love your chemistry posts ❤️"

Thank you for liking my posts! OK so the alternate ending that I saw was this

youtube

so I didn't know what you were talking about but I watched some of the deleted scenes like when they're at the cafe and he tells her that he's happy and fulfilled while she's not because she misses him.

In terms of writing about how the ending impacted Robin, I never really wrote about that because I just thought the show was generally sexist and a big part of the sexism and misogyny was Robin being written as a "not like other girls" character and displaying internalized misogyny but I've definitely seen posts about how HIMYM was a show about a Nice Guy written by Nice Guys, which then means Robin gets the short end of the stick.

your lives are your own and i cannot control your actions nor do i wish to. but it's like fucking crazy how bad the raven cycle is. the first three books have their charms and some characters that seem really charming and interesting if poorly served by the narrative they're in, but stiefvater is obsessed with doing these villain POV chapters that make up like a third of each novel and in which nothing interesting happens ever even once. the fourth book is the worst thing i've ever read and manages to be like somehow ongoingly actively offensive in how fucking stupid it is and simultaneously INCREEEEDIBLY boring. like it's soooo boring. like it's the book where we finally find out if main character guy dies as prophesied or not and where the gay OTP gets together and where they have to face down the biggest big bad ever and everything about the way all of these things happen is either boring or hateful. i think the review that i could give that would most fully capture it is a conversation i had with @nimmieamee when she had read the last book and i had not:

me: one thing that i do really like is how blue likes space. like, aw, that's a genuinely really endearing trait to give this smart and lonely and restless and hungry girl from the wrong side of a small virginia town.

her: :|

me: ....wait does she... does the raven king somehow... ruin? blue liking space? like how would you even... do that?

her: :| :| :|

like i have typed probably thousands of words on this blog on the crimes committed by SYFY's the magicians, but when people are like, should i watch the magicians? i'm like, idk, i can't really tell you, it's not good but sometimes it's great, i'll be mad but i got a lot out of it. but i would never in a million years recommend the raven cycle to anyone under any circumstances. the only valid reason to read the raven cycle is so that you can read son of the nuclear a-bomb, which is like the greatest fic of all time, but i feel like we're all smart and can use context clues and between that and some selective wikipedia-ing if you really feel the need you'll be set. if you're dying for a novel-length experience of these people just read this instead.

Remember your reckless spontaneity. That's the best part of you, and the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Besides mom. I know my own life.

#bmwedit #cory matthews #shawn hunter #cory x shawn #boy meets world #*#can't believe i actually used a gmw quote for anything but imo that's the only relevant thing to come out of gmw #this photoset is a 'cory was in love w shawn and conformed to heterosexuality'#like anyone that does not watch these moments (and 98% of the show lbr) and think cory is in love w shawn is absolutely wild #otp: greatest thing to ever happen to me

* sighs *

I think we all already know the answer but Ik u love talking about him anyway so here you go!

Shigaraki for the ask game?

😊 thank you for indulging me anyway

It’s much appreciated 😂

Tomura:

How I feel: Totally normal feelings. Really, his story is less personal to the reader and more fantastical. But the way he's written to react to everything that happens to him is so believable, as believable as it can be given the circumstances. Removing the magical aspect of it, he's a convincing representation of someone who tries to come out on top of their issues, but in the end they're someone whose trauma just strangles them from the inside and they can't do a damn thing about it. That's Tomura, and he's one of the greatest characters ever, actually. Sucks that the series focuses so much on the kids and his character gets so....overlooked.

Romantic ship: None. I'm sorry.

Non-romantic OTP: Izuku, bffs pls, I beg

Unpopular opinion: I have many. Tomura "leaving room for his comrade's wishes" does not align with his actions and dream of destroying it all. Those things are mutually exclusive and he does not face this because he's too lost in his anger and misery to. Tomura does not prioritize anybody's wellbeing over his own choices--as nice of an idea as that is, it's fanon. Tomura is not an independent leader and never got any liberation of any kind. He lived under the illusion that he did just as he was supposed to. Current in-manga Tomura is really pitiful, and it kinda highlights the patheticness of his entire situation (asking a random teenager you barely know to come save you, buddy, we gotta talk). No complaints though. I love it all. He's a cool badass and kind of a loser, all at the same time. He makes it work. He looks good doing it.

What I wish could/would happen: I have 0 complaints on current canon. What I wish/hope to see happen aside from the obvious save, realization, all the necessary epiphanies etc., is him crying. He hasn't cried (since he was a kid) and by god, he needs to. I also want Izuku to hug him so bad because lord knows he needs a hug to cry into.

Izuku:

How I feel: I like his character because writing hiccups aside, he is the person who wants to save everyone, even if it takes him some hard lessons to learn what "everyone" truly means. I find some things frustrating in his arc, but I like him because he IS the character he is meant to be--heroic, selfless, kind, eager to be there for people who need him. I love him for that.

Romantic ship: IzuOcha :)

Non-romantic OTP: Tomura :) (I just think they should hug and maybe Tomura should kick his ass at some video games)

Unpopular opinion: I only know what's a popular opinion in this little corner of the fandom but. I think simply liking him is an unpopular opinion in the villain standom.

What I wish could/would happen: More self-reflection. You would honestly forget that he used to be quirkless with how little he thinks about it and how little it's written to impact him (or lack thereof). And that in itself even isn't bad, but it needs follow up like "Why do you ignore this part of your past". Y'know. It's a writing issue with his arc, but I do think there is clear set up for it to all come out in the open later toward the end.

Valentine's Day - Romance Media Edition

I am not a sucker for romance, but @her-enlightened-ladyship has tagged me in this meme so I must abide. So here are some romance adjacent medias that I can remember enjoying to some degree.

Movies:

Amadeus - Not a romance movie but its a good movie you should all watch.

The Princess Bride - I have only ever watched it at work with no sound or subtitles on, but I do like Andre the Giant, amazing, just an absolute unit

The Room - Peak romance.

TV Shows:

The Bachelor, 90 Day Fiance, Married at First Sight, Love Island - Just absolute trash tv.

Anime:

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Gendo Ikari going cuckoo bananas over his dead wife is peak romance.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Pegasus, also cuckoo bananas over his dead wife.

Video Games:

Soul Sacrifice - Magusar x Librom. The greatest love story, there is nothing more romantic than risking your life to save your surly best friend, then being forced to fight him to the death, reviving him and killing him forever until your very genetic makeup just deteriorates. Its canon shut up.

Final Fantasy XIV - Hildibrand is the most romantic gentleman.

Castlevania - Dracula is hot in this one. And cuckoo bananas over his dead wife.

Dynasty Warriors - There’s a lot of good ships here and some of them are canon, like Lu Bu x Diao Chan. Romance is in the title of the source material so it counts.

Books:

The Vampire Chronicles - Marius x Armand is my problematic otp.

Dracula - Dracula is hot in this one. But I think Mina and Lucy should have had a thing, that would have improved it.

Vampire Hunter D - D is the only gary stu who wears it good. It was just such a smile.

Carmilla - I just think I like vampires.

Manga/Comics:

Victorian Romance Emma - The first legitimate romance on the list. It’s a story of a maid and her love for a very boring man in the victorian era. Beautifully drawn.

Innocent/Innocent Rouge - A very historically accurate retelling of the french revolution. Has Marie Antoinette which is an automatic draw for me. Some of the greatest art in the world. Excellent romance within.

The Rose of Versailles - Innocent but a shoujo drawn in the 70s. Also excellent romances within.

Berserk - A romantic tale of a guy who has a very big sword and bad things happen to him.

#DRCL Midnight Children - Dracula but by the guy who drew Innocent. Dracula is Michael Jackson for some reason but it’s a really good telling.

#|| Revue || Tagged #|| Turn To Scarlet Queue ||#i just think the dead wife cuckoo bananas trope #is just terribly romantic

For the character ask: Harley Quinn

hii thanks friend!

Why I like them: wish fulfillment for if i were like, 75% more confident and 100% more crazy? <3

Why I don’t: well, there are definitely characterizations out there that i don't like, but when she's fun and has agency i like it!

Favorite episode (scene if movie): birds of prey sandwich scene!!! cathy yan can do no wrong!

Favorite season/movie: the suicide squad (2021) really is the superior harley on the suicide squad movie where she gets to do her own thing and is sexy but not hypersexualized and wreak havoc with some other freaks :)

Favorite line: the whole "When your taste in men is as bad as mine, they don't just go away quietly" bit in TSS is MAGNIFICENT

Favorite outfit: oh i REALLY love her birds of prey looks... but it's gotta go to her red TSS look from the first beach scene. she looks so gooood.

OTP: poison ivy, hope it's done well in live-action someday (i've seen a few eps of the animated show and it's great!!)

Brotp: boomerang!!! and abner and cleo :)

Head Canon: she does makeovers and free, questionable psych consultations for her suicide squad buddies.

Unpopular opinion: done with joker storylines, she's her own thing now and does NOT need her ex's lousy energy fucking up the place.

A wish: give cathy yan more harley films!

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: david ayer should not direct her anymore kljsdjkldflfjkdslkjdfjkl death.

5 words to best describe them: DC's greatest creation/the loml. alternatively: hey jimmy, where's her sequels???

My nickname for them: just Harley! i think boomer can get away with calling her Harls but that's it.

send me a character

001: Stat Wars

003: Anakin

Hey, thanks for the ask 💖 I'm gonna do the character one ✨

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: I love him and he did nothing wrong 💖 He should go to dumb baby jail for 1000 years.

Okay, honestly, I think he's a fascinating deconstruction of the chosen one. He's not the OG deconstruction of that trope, but he's probably the most famous in the cultural zeitgeist and it isn't just because he falls and becomes the villain of the story. He's everything we expect a chosen one to be and nothing like one at all. Lucas did a fantastic job upending expectations with him because we only knew Vader and what he would become (powerful, terrifying, iconic, subservient, chained to his choices) and then he gave the audience a goofy sweet kid followed by a whiney teenager and finally a soft-spoken young man on the cusp of fatherhood who is about to go insane. He is fascinating in every respect and I love the layers that his character possesses. He is the most powerful Jedi who ever lived and one of their most tragic figures. He killed (or tried to kill) everyone he ever loved. He brought balance to the Force in an act of selfless love. His tragedy is that we know he would have been the greatest of them with time, wise and powerful, if his life hadn't taken the path it did. He's... there's very few characters like him and half of them are just pale imitations.

He's also just... supernaturally gorgeous. I'm allowed to be shallow.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: [Looks into the camera like I'm on the office] you follow this blog, right? Obikin is my OTP. Possibly the biggest OTP of my life.

I ship Anidala like it isn't canon and honestly, Rexwalker is an underrated ship and y'all clone fuckers should get on it.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Anakin and Ahsoka!!!!! Holy shit! Their friendship makes me laugh and cry. The complicated interplay of friend-brother-sister-father-daughter-mentor-apprentice thing they have going on between them is bonkers and beautiful. They are Jedi, you cannot quantify it. I love them. They are brat² energy. They are the reason Obi-Wan doesn't sleep at night.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I like clone wars Anakin's character design. Yes, the whole way through 🙈 HE'S CUTE IN SEASON ONE OKAY

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: That someone (Obi-Wan) took one look at this sub, grabbed him by the hair and [redacted]

Favourite friendship for this character: I think Satine and Anakin would have been great friends in a frenemies sort of way. They'd validate each other's righteous anger like no one else. Obi-Wan would be so fucked and also so done with both of them.

My crossover ship: I don't really do crossovers I wouldn't know where to start 😂

#27

I took.. a lot. the night before all this went down i had already taken 700 but i topped that off with a 600 yesterday morning. I think I woke up at like 4 am-ish something annnd took pills at about 5ish. Tho yesterday I ALSO did 1.6k at 2. So i think for the day I took 2.2k. unless we're also counting the late night one from the day before. Though this'll probably be first and last I take a lot at once like that. I'm still feeling it 20 hours later

(wrote this late august 27th but didn't wanna proofread til now so keep that in mind when I mention days)

AFTERMATH

The first two doses were casualish to me. I used to go 600 at max but nowadays it ain't uncommon for me to do 850-1k. I was mostly the same so no one noticed. They never do tbh. 1.6 is the highest I've ever gone and I was still able to play it off.

As far as symptoms. I've kinda lost my appetite. I'm sure it'll be all back once my body's had the chance to get all the dph out my system but for now I don't really eat. Tho I'm blubbery soo it works out ig. That plus I get random sharp pains in my heart + in my stomach every once in a while. Those I already know why ofc but I also get a milder version in my arms and legs too. I think I've been pretty okay for me to have taken what.. 10 times the normal dose. lemme check

it was 32 doses worth

goddamn.. it's starting to freak me out nowadays. That'd be like me getting a perscription but guzzling all the pills for the month in one sitting. (tmi in advance sorry sorry) With me taking THAT much at once you think if somehow someway someone gets my blood they would get high off it? or at the very least treat their allergies. That'd be kinda cool tbh

Ah there was one more thing I noticed. My perception of time ain't the greatest when I'm high anyway. I'm sure it's cause how hyperfocused I am on staying awake plus dph making it hard to remember shit anyway. But on the 1.6.. shit went to the extreme. It was honestly like when I was taking that benadryl-tylenol mix. I'm sure it's mostly due to how much had to be floating around that but man..

When I first started feeling it feeling it I would just be losing my train of thought a lot which led to me forgetting what I was talking about mid sentence a good 70% of the time. Then shit progressed to where I was blacking out randomly. I don't know what exactly happens when I black out. I'm assuming I just continue doing what I was doing and it's really just me forgetting what I just did. But another part of me wonders if I taking mini naps or something. I didn't really get much sleep so maybe my body was forcing me to rest for a bit? I'd black out for anywhere from 30 mins to an hour and a half at a time. I even started hallucinating again which was weirdd.

They were all tame luckily. The most problematic one was me thinking R texted me. I coulda sworn I saw her say I love you on disc. I have a different color for her notifs so I was damn near CERTAIN since it got the color right as well. I still held off on talking to her just incase she tried to talk talk and put the pieces together once she saw how off I was being. I felt like an ass at the time but when I checked the next day I saw that my most recent convo was still the old friend I was otp with. Even if she had deleted it she would've been at the top regardless.

The only other notable hallucinations was the occasional phantom bug. 9 times out of 10 it was just a weird looking shadow but there was a few times where I thought I saw spider legs too. Tho that honestly wasn't toooo. I'd rather have that than texting R about some shit she never did lmao

NOTES/EMOTIONS

I will be mentioning self unaliving a lot in this section so don't upset yourself tryna read, alr?

Ah.. I kinda did say I'd explain my flakiness annnd the shit I'm upset about now semi relates so here we are.

It's hard to explain. You always hear people be yourself no matter. Not to say anything is wrong with that. I just.. I don't know how to interpret that if that makes any sense. I feel like atp I'm only still here to spare my family's feelings (with that including R of course) so it throws me in a thought loop

On one hand, I'm only alive to spare their feelings. I have no real goals, dreams, or plans as far as what I want to do next. So it really wouldn't matter if I just went with whatever they want me to do even if I hate it. Not like I have any better ideas. It makes me feel like I should take all the judgment I'm flung and change accordingly. If I'm alive for them, wouldn't that make the most sense? I'm gonna come back to rock bottom no matter what i do. I might as well just do it for appearance's sake

Tho on the other, if they want me to really do whatever I and only I wanted, would they be angry if I left? Would they understand the struggle and misery I've gone through trying to keep it together for them? It feels stupid to let myself be tethered to this place for people that don't even know me really. I'm sure they'll be hurt for a time sure but.. is that a good enough reason to still be here? I can only leech for so long. I have no plans to go back to college as I am. scared. going from effortless 3.75 to a barely gotten, struggle filled 1.7 killed that for me. I can't afford to keep trying and trying until I hit this magical brain switch that suddenly makes all that easy. Im already nearly 20k in debt from that single semester alone.

And what's so frustrating about this circle thinking is that i KNEW it'd go down like this. I've been wanting to kill myself since 3rd grade. Even with my reasoning being vastly different throughout all this time, at the end of the day, I've been treating my suicide as an inevitability. I get so worked up over any and everything, I have to push and fight myself every fucking day to do the bare minimum, and I never wanted to be in a position where I'm stuck doing something I hate just to get by every month. It's just too much.

I've set various age goals throughout the years to keep me from doing anything too stupid. Originally it was 14 so I could get a job and get better supplies for that sort of thing. Then it was 16 cause by then I was supposed to have a car and I would be allowed to date at that age. Then the latest one was 18 and 6mo. 6mo probably sees random but it made sense to me anyway. Seniors get out of school bout 2 week- a month earlier than everyone else. So I damn near had the house to myself for a little while. Then even once they went on summer break, I still was chilling since I didn't move into my dorm til early october. So I had damn near 5mo to do whatever I wanted with hella open house money to fund it. I figure, since I had all that money and have months and months to do whatever AND im finna be living by myself, if I still wanted to do it, it is what it is

But now look at me. 19 annd nearly 3 months and I'm worse than ever before. It makes my stress tolerance so much lower. Anytime I get upset I turn it back onto myself. If I had just got it over with back then, people wouldn'tve had to see me degrade into the person I am today. If I would have done it back then, I wouldn't need to stress about college, work, money, love, or whatever else. I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to do what was expected of me to keep the peace. But now even when I'm trying to do that, it's not working. It was bound to happen someday tbh. I wasn't gonna be able to half ass my way through life forever. Still.. it crashed and burned quicker than I thought

I feel so trapped. I don't know what to do anymore. Everyone is gonna see it all. My stepmom actually did just called me out for sitting around for this long lmao. I guess it has been a while. I came back for winter break in late December and here I am still. No money and no school. I keep replaying her words over and over again. It slightly pissed me off initially. I've withdrew so much within these last few months to the point where it's rare for either of them to see me more than maybe.. once a day. Plus I've TOLD her I've been struggling for years now and nothing has changed.

Told her I might be struggling with some form of adhd after seeing how hard my workflow was thrown off since quarantine started. Then like 2-3 mo later after radio silence on that stuff she asked me a few questions about therapy preferences then when I told her she told me to book it myself when I'm 18.. Then another time when I was arguing with my dad over something and she started screaming in my face which drove me to a panic attack that she ignored and continued to yell at me until my sisters butted in. She tried to yell at them to but I think I freaked them out with my crying so they didn't budge. Oh yeah. And that middle school thing where I ratted myself out anonymously for being suicidal and actively writing out drafts for it. I didn't like the therapist I had so I stopped going and it was never mentioned again.

Tangent. Sorry. I bring all this up to say it irritated me since I've been asking for help on and off for years now and no one listened. I'm always written off as overdramatic or whiney, or hormonal or whatever th and now I can see she just thinks I'm just a lazy fucking bum. It doesn't even make sense. I've said this was an issue of mine but since I wasn't failing in high school and I don't boohoo in front of them, it was never addressed so why is anyone shocked that this is how I turned out? Why am I now the failure of the family

Whatever anyway. i thought on it longer and I can't put the blame on them entirely. At the end of the day, I should've fought more to get the help I needed before shit hit the fan. I dunno. I've always been like this.

Ig it doesn't really matter now does it?

I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I'm getting backed further and further into this corner and it's going to blow up soon. I know it. I don't want to be around for that. Too much to uncover. I've fucked myself so may times thinking it wouldn't matter because of xyz thing but all of its coming back. It makes me want to go even further tbh. It feels like my only choice. No one will take it seriously until then. Even then, I'd probably go for round 2 just to do it. I am genuinely.. tired.
