[rainbow--skies]

I'm going to say it. Everyone who makes fun of people for being in cringe fandoms (even if the media objectively does suck), dressing weird, or being a "TikTok gay" or whatever you all are calling these types now, is more annoying then the people that actually are like this. Like these people you all make fun of are usually like normal queer teenagers. All the people making fun of them are always so preoccupied with not being in part of that "weird group" that you constructed out of a mash up of stupid social rules made by people who still wouldn't like you anyway and it makes you forget how to have fun sometimes I think

#rainbow rants #'that's so unfunny' 'that's so cringe' who the fuck CARES #let people exist without making assumptions about their life and determining morality by how many things someone likes that you don't

[transmascnaotoshirogane]

i keep thinking about zuko during the day of black sun, starting down his father who's goaded him into staying by torturing him with details of his missing mother, only to use that opportunity to try and kill him again.... only for Zuko to use a technique Ozai did not even know possible, flowing through motions that are distinctly not firebending demonstrating a power so different and deeper than Ozai could ever fathom... idk man just zuko

#zuko #going THRU it rn #atla #avatar: the last airbender #also zuko is perceived as a very non-traditional fire bender after the war #even tho he literally went back to the core.... the very BEGINNING of firebending to understand it #the fire nation literally doesn't even know that tho... so the aggressive angry power-driven firebending is all they've known #so to the people zuko is this strange enigma... his rainbow fire and dragon by his side.... and how sometimes he flows like a waterbender #or stomps like a earthbender or can be as light as an airbender #it's just not something people thought possible #anyway all of this including the post itself is just a non-sensical rant #no thoughts just zuko #book 3 #main series

why do people do this?

This is a doll I had fallen for when they first announced it last year, but bc of money problems I had to wait until recently to buy it. I bought one a few weeks ago as a belated bday gift to myself but her arm was missing a big chunk so I tried to get a replacement, but they were sold out.

I found another one and ordered it and it arrived today! I was so excited…. until I saw the box.

Someone bought it, took almost everything — the stand, the boots, earrings, HANDS, hair accessories, dress accessory, and second outfit— dyed her hair! - and put her back in the box with shoes and a jacket from an older doll and returned her…

and the person who packed my order apparently thought missing hands and lose dolls are in this season 🙄😩

Got another refund and a new replacement is on its way, and I just hope this one will be fine…. 😩

(BTW, the second photo is the first doll i got compared to this one so you can see how they dyed the hair)

an unhinged (and unofficial) dissertation on the pjo fandom

so i don't usually post anything that isn't my-works-related, but i had a...mildly heated discussion with a fellow film student tonight about the pjo show and it's got me thinking. bear with me, we'll be here awhile.

as we all know, the first season of pjo has ended. i've stayed relatively OFF tumblr and other social media during this time, but i know there are a lot of OG fans who are (in their words) "massively disappointed" in the show. most of the complaints i've heard have been during in person conversations though, so this post is mostly going to be referencing real complaints i've heard.

i've been a part of this fandom since i was thirteen. that's nearly eight fucking years of my life that i've devoted to the pjo universe. i have written and consumed YEARS' worth of fanfiction, i have read and reread every book so many times i can quote them forwards and backwards, and i went to the bookstore every single year on the new books' release dates to pick up my copies in-person. this fandom, these characters and this world have brought so much joy to my life, and i don't think i could ever fully articulate that in words. when i think of this series, i genuinely feel nothing but happiness.

but a few years ago—around the time i started college—i started distancing myself from the fandom for one glaring reason. this fandom can be such an...angry place? like, genuinely, i don't know how far it goes back—maybe all the way to the release of HoA, honestly—but i wasn't here pre-HoA, so all i know is that i very much remember how much people hated ToA when it came out.

here i was, having the TIME of my life with apollo and his silly little haikus, and people are going to war over how the series' writing quality has gone to shit and how everything was better before, blah, blah, blah. IN SPITE of everything that series gave us—discussion of the repercussions of child abuse and ptsd, representation of lgbtqa+ characters, and deep psychological messages that really teach young readers, i think, how to better understand themselves and their emotions and deal with them in healthy ways. and it just wasn't fun to be in a fandom where, as soon as you go "hey, did you read the new book?" they scoff and roll their eyes and only want to talk about how terrible it is. (i also missed all the discourse on the sun and the star when it came out—PHENOMENAL read, btw—but i've read some things that lead me to believe that it wasn't well received either, in spite of how lovely it was.)

so...it's dramatic to say i "left" the fandom, but i certainly withdrew from it. deleted my pjo ao3 and tumblr, started over with a different fandom. but the love has always been there, and the show starting really helped spark it fully back to life.

but now, the same thing is happening again, i'm noticing. remember back in the day, when we only had the shitty fucking movies, and we were like "man, ANYTHING would be better than this garbage. literally just give us actors who are the right age and we'll be happy." well, now we have PHENOMENAL kid actors who genuinely are having a good time playing our beloved characters, and instead of supporting them, we're STILL complaining about them not being "portrayed correctly"?

i've talked to so many people who complain that percy is "too smart," which is kind of a bullshit insult to percy's canon character. in the books (at least the first five) we're seeing things ONLY from percy's pov. he's a kid who's struggled with learning disabilities and been told he's an idiot all his life by everyone except his mom—but as others have pointed out way more eloquently than i could, percy is a very intelligent and powerful individual while maintaining his goofy fun personality, which is WHY so many people love him so much. he's complex, and i think they managed to capture that really well in the show even amidst all the changes.

don't get me started on the fucking racism towards leah sava jeffries—i'm honest to gods ashamed that there are racists who call themselves pjo fans. she is so talented, and everything we ever could have hoped for in an on-screen annabeth. ALL of the kids are—there's literally no argument to be had there.

and then, if people aren't complaining about the casting, it's the series' writing. or there's too much exposition. rick is changing too many things. the directors don't know what they're doing. it's not a TRUE book adaptation. (someone said that to me, and i genuinely laughed because i thought they were joking. when the MOVIES exist, they wanted to make that comment about the show.)

are there some things i would change about the show, given the opportunity? god, yes. the set design for the underworld was horrendous. (in my opinion, of course.) but here's the thing. i have spent eight years of my life waiting for this show to happen, and in that time, i've learned a lot about how much goes into successfully producing such a complex series. how much money and time is spent, and how many people have to be on board to make it happen. it's genuinely kind of miraculous that we're even getting this show at all, considering all the ways it could have failed before it even made it out of pre-production.

and i think we, as fans, sometimes forget that we aren't owed this. we don't own the percy jackson franchise. it makes me so sick and tired when authors or artists in any capacity feel like they have to cater their works to the masses, because they know they'll get thrown into the fucking fire if they don't. rick and becky riordan didn't have to got to the trouble of producing this show for us. they chose to—everyone involved chose to—because they wanted to make something fun and enjoyable not only for the fans, but everyone who chose to be a part of it.

do you know how insane it is that, when you read pretty much any interview of pjo bts, everyone talks about how fun the production was? i've been on film sets. they can be ABSOLUTELY miserable when they're not done right. but eight months into production, the kids were still laughing and having a good time, everyone's still giving 100%, they're excited, it's fun. walker was willing to go into a diving tank for a full fucking day in order to get one scene—i know i would never have that kind of dedication, and i bet 99% of you wouldn't either.

i know this has gotten really long-winded, but i've said all of that to say that...i'm kind of tired of fans trying to bring down the show, and more than that, trying to bring down each other for having a good time. as i've said before (many times, i'm sure), i waited eight years for this, and i have had SUCH a fun time watching it. assuming we get a season 2 renewal, there are going to be even more new fans coming in than we've already gotten from season 1, and i want this fandom to be a fun and positive place for them. for all of us. we don't have to miserable and angry all time. we can critique the show, sure—it's not perfect, and it was never going to be—but we have to remember that television is an art form, and that art is subjective even when it involves our favorite characters. and we can accept that and still have a good time, because it's just more fun to have fun, you know?

this fandom has always had so much potential to be the BIGGEST, most supportive and kind and loving fandom. with how much representation this series has, with how much content we've been given, with the SHEER massive number of us...i've always thought we could be a really, really great community. maybe it's impossible to hope that we could be the best fandom on earth, but if nothing else...could we all try to just be a little bit kinder? genuinely, as cheesy as it may sound...it's just nicer when we're nice to each other. and when there's so many real things in the world to be mad about...i would much rather this be a place where we can come to at the end of a long day and just...feel at home. personally, i just think that would be really, really nice.

[rainbo-selfships]

Why do so many pr*shippers in the selfship community feel the need to steal the writing of antis? Like buddy, is it that hard to just stay in your own circle of people and write your own stuff? Like…

They complain about being “mistreated” (despite all the creepy, immoral things they choose to ship) and then immediately begin to invade the spaces of anyone who’s understandably uncomfortable around that. Also, stealing writing in general is kind of a crappy thing to do. Just stay in your space. It’s that simple. :P

I’m not even angry about it, I’m just amused.

Okay but but hear me out, what kind of ritual or sacrifice do I have to make to whatever entity that allowed for Good Omens S2, RWRB, Heartstopper S2 AND young royals S3 to be a thing to negotiate the next tragic and chaotic pairing to be one Simon Oliver Snow and one Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch on our screens??

The fact that I am being driven crazy by the strange obsession a lot of tma Tumblr users have with a wrong interpretation of Michael Distortion is actually so Distortion coded it's kinda funny

#hes not neon fun quirky boy #its a manipulator gaslighter who seeks out only to make jon and co more and more angry and confused and driven to mistakes. #its only distorted in a way to make you question your sanity. and not in a colorful way #im ranting and i feel the full influence of its gleeful sadism on my mind lol #all tumblr depicts him as is basically onceler 2.0 with a rainbow blond twist and whaaaaa #tumblr be tumblr i guess 😆😆😆 #also imma rant about how hes shipped with gerry when he was working with his dad. this isnt to negate the ship yall are perfectly valid! #i just personally dont like it. i do like eric and michael ships tho. those have a fun dynamic #i live michael shelley and feel awful for him #but tumblr done the distortion dirty :') #i go mainly for body horror distortions that emody the feel of insanity incarnate #rather than the neon rainbow ones #unless they manage to convey the feel as well #end of rant #discourse #also MORE DISTORTION HELEN!! BUT ALSO NOT IN A RAINBOW WAY BUT A HORROR SHE SMILES WAY TOO MUCH WHATS SHE HIDING WAYYYY

i love to praise ever after high for being one of the first doll lines to even tease a sapphic relationship on screen (i only say one of the first as roxxi and nevra from bratz were not confirmed until 2020), but the reality is ever after high was such a product of its time because even then, with an entire on screen kiss… they completely pushed aside any sort of development between darling and apple in favor of daring and it really sucks.

i LOVE daring, and i absolutely adore darabella. i love his arc in epic winter and i think it’s such perfect character development for him. what i don’t like, however, is that darling was such an important character in dragon games. like, the entire ending of dragon games was due to her character arc and her discovering her destiny, and… they barely show her on screen during epic winter. she gets maybe ten seconds of screentime in the background of some shots, and her and apple never even speak.

mattel had the best opportunity to give darling and apple some much needed discovery and closure during epic winter, especially after daring went through his own character arc and found out that he was destined to be with rosabella. i think it was in part that so many parents probably complained about the kiss (which is also why the “it was cpr” or “it was a friendship kiss” theories are so popular) so they pushed darling off screen in order to make parents happy, but it still drives me absolutely bonkers.

in general, i actually sincerely hate how mattel treated the charming children. it was obvious who their favorite was (daring) and i can’t fault them for that because i really do enjoy him and his arc, but dexter and darling were both routinely pushed aside and it drives me insane even all these years later.

#eah #ever after high #ever after high rant #ever after high theories #darling charming #apple white #daring charming #rosabella beauty #bee thinks #bee thoughts #bro #i know eah is dead and gone #but how they ended the series will always piss me off #eah had a lot of pluses #but just as many negatives #they lacked in so many areas of diversity #and the second they started adding more characters of color and a possibly explicitly sapphic couple they do a soft reboot and ruin everythi #everything* #also looking at rainbow high with jella and the soft reboot #it’s awful #anyway

[rainbow--skies]

Fandom culture on other sites is mindboggling to me because I just saw an Insta post complaining about people’s redesigns and reimaginings of characters, and it was already an annoying ass post that people were making more annoying, but the craziest part to me is people in the comments were genuinely trying to call queer headcanons that get added on sometimes fetishization 😭

#rainbow rants #like who do you think drew that… because it was probably queer people #their reasoning was that adding it on top of a redesign is unnecessary and using queer people as an aesthetic but that’s dumb #if you want to throw out everything internet fandom has been doing for years and rebrand it as problematic… why the fuck are you here??? #comments were also filledddddd racism and fatphobia who cares if a redesign is black or fat. they are pixels #‘it’s too different make your own character’ should be about characterization not appearance (unless you’re making the character wear #something that contradicts their personality maybe) #the only valid criticism is i hate when people headcanon characters that are super homophobic as gay #or change canon queer characters’ sexuality #that’s actually annoying #rest of the stuff these people were saying was some bullshit though

Who is R6S' new villain?

The mysterious guy who killed Harry is evidently our new villain, but who is Deimos?

In mythology, Deimos is the god of dread and terror, who causes havoc in armies alongside his father Ares, brother Phobos (god of fear & panic) & goddess of discord Eris. Seems like he's making a statement with that name.

We also know he's ex-Rainbow. Before killig Harry, he says "Rainbow used to be feared in my time" and "you disgraced my unit". So definitely someone who used to be in Rainbow, maybe even an old Six? Let's see who are our candidates to be under the mask of Deimos 👀

Disclaimer: I'm getting all my knowledge of these characters from the wiki, if you spot any misinformation or have a better analysis, by all means, please do share!

Bishop: "Despite his excellence as a soldier, he does have a blind spot while leading; he sees the failures of his team as his own failures [...] Bishop is a driven individual, who is not above breaking rules." Sounds like a pretty good fit for the spot, except he never was Six. Although he was Deputy Director, so... maybe.

Ding Chavez: "He regards Clark as a mentor and father figure, and is fiercely loyal to him. [...] He is a natural leader, and an ambitious man who takes pride in his accomplishments." So not only was he Six for a time, he could also feel insulted that the unit Clark created has taken such a sharp decline in his eyes, and take that as a disrespect to Clark's legacy, whom he clearly admires. The motives are there, and by calling himself Deimos he could be alluding how Clark (his father-in-law and mentor) is in his eyes Ares! Probability of him being Deimos is rather strong.

John Clark: "A perfectionist, he cuts neither himself nor his men any slack. [...] His request is granted in 1999 with the formation of Rainbow." The founder of Rainbow, the original Six. There's a slight problem with this theory tho... he'd be seventy-something by now. Definitely too old to be Deimos. 

Logan Keller: He worked under Bishop (and therefore under Chavez, who was Six during that time). Arguably the golden age of old Rainbow. He volunteered to join so he probably feels pride about being part of such prestigious organization. He was leader of a few teams, but never rose to the position of Six. Probability of him being Deimos: maybe, but lower than Bishop, imo.

James Wolfe: he was supposed to be Six in the cancelled game Rainbow 6: Patriots. It would be funny, in a meta way, if he turned out to be the villain, since his game got cancelled to work on Siege instead. He's mostly an unknown quantity, so it wouldn't offend old fans if he became a villain now. And he was Six apparently. Definitely has a higher chance of being Deimos than Keller or Clark, imo.

resellers/scalpers are genuinely a disgrace and stain on this planet like actually die if you do shit like this i would probably get banned if i described my hatered and anger for yall in more depth but you are fucking disgusting. buying up all the dolls on shelves, taking them from LITERAL CHILDREN and collectors and selling them for like 6x the price like actually kys you are a burden i usually would never say anything like that to anyone but you fuckers deserve it

its also mattels fault for being fucking awful and stupid and not putting protections and limits on this kinda stuff and restocking regularly so fuck you too mattel

you’re stealing so much joy from collectors and children alike and that’s unforgivable. go fuck yourself and die im begging you

also if you see any items like this PLEASE report them for price gouging as thats what they’re doing!!

dont let price gougers and scalpers have a platform and get away with what they’re doing

#for legal reasons this is a joke dont report me pls 🙏🙏 #monster high #doll collector #dollblr #tw suibaiting #rant #i swear you fuckers better not do this shit when the restocks and series 2 release bc i cant do this shit anymore #stealing joy from collectors and children alike is unforgivable #psa #rainbow high #shadow high #barbie #lol omg #sorry i was really mad when i typed this

[alastyr-not-alastair]

I am about to drop my first fic in literally years, which will also happen to be the first fic with a plot I’ve ever written.

All for a dead fandom that I thought about too much in the middle of the night and threw proceeded to get SO MAD i hurriedly wrote down notes and waited a week to see if I still had the balls do write it or not

So hey guys. I’m still mad about the fact RAINBOW Steve only had water powers when he was supposed to be the funnnnking AVATAR of the steve realm.

I’m ALSO mad about how he died because it was so underwhelming after he had literal prophecies made for him and was thought to be the most powerful for literal centuries

ALSO. WAS IT NOT TABOO TO BE MADE OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE??? WASN’T THAT WHY NIGHTMARE WAS A VILLAIN??? Rainbow and Nightmare had so many similarities that were barely touched on ever. Did no one look at Rainbow and think “hey. Why does he have so many colours? Did he absorb people too?” BECAUSE IT SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING IF SOMEONE DID.

And the way he DIED. I’m back here again. He didn’t get closure for ANYTHING until AFTER HE WAS IN THE AFTERLIFE. On top of all of that his character got frunked in the anse by the end of it making him POWERLESS (a terrible decision, really) and then making him JEALOUS. MY RAINBOW STEVE WOULD NEVER. MY POOR LITTLE BLORBO.

Anyway I didn’t know I still had this many opinions about Steve saga, i thought I fell out of it years ago but something inside sparked recently and I’ve gone insane once more.
