#reasons to create fandom content: 1) spite

Sabezra Dinbo Solidarity Week

Hello Rebels and The Mandalorian fans! Happy May 4th!

Ever since The Mandalorian season 3 started focusing on developing the relationship between Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze, people started to ship them! And other people started to hate on them for shipping it! Fans of Rebels who ship Sabine and Ezra for similar reasons that people ship Din and Bo, recognized the parallels immediately in both the attacks of the haters in fandom and in how both relationships are developed in canon.

So given how similar Sabezra and Dinbo are, both in how they’re treated in fandom, how they are presented in canon, and with the added potential of them being the co-power couples of the mandoverse, Luna (a Dinbo shipper who also loves Sabezra) and I, Emily (a Sabezra shipper who fell in love with Dinbo over the course of mando S3) decided it would be an awesome idea to have a joint ship week to promote solidarity and positivity between these two ships to counteract all the hate Dinbo is currently getting after the conclusion of mando S3, and all of the hate that is coming down the pike for Sabezra once Ahsoka airs in a few months.

Luna here! Every single Star Wars movie and show has had a romance in it. The prequels had Anidala, OT had HanLeia, and sequels had Reylo. Rogue One had RebelCaptain. Clone Wars had Obitine. Solo had Han/Qi'ra. Rebels had Kanera which is the best couple in Star Wars so far. I highly doubt that the Ahsoka Series and The Mandalorian will be an exception. Out of every ship, Dinbo and Sabezra have the best potential to become canon. They both currently have the most compelling dynamics in the Mandoverse. Let's celebrate them jointly because we are all in this together.

Emily here! I really love a good slow burn and seeing these two relationships develop over the course of their respective shows just really excites me and inspires me to create for them! Regardless of what happens in canon I adore these pairings and the people I’ve met through shipping them and I just want to spread that love and positivity in this fandom because it is so sorely needed nowadays with how toxic everything has become! If I’m being honest I started shipping dinbo purely out of spite because I saw haters using the same arguments for it that they use against sabezra but now that I’ve seen all of S3 in it’s entirety with all of that amazing content for dinbo I’m hooked 😂 I just think that sabezra and dinbo compliment each other so well, and I hope that we get to see these couples both go canon and team up but whether or not that happens, I’m sure fandom can provide as it always does! Like Luna said, we’re all in this together so let’s have each other’s backs and create some awesome content together!

Prompts:

Day 1: Mission/Double Date

Day 2: Training

Day 3: Family

Day 4: Celebrations

Day 5: Free Day

For more info on the prompts see this post!

For the rules, see this post!

The ship week will run from June 26-June 30 so you have two months to make your content for the two pairings!

Feel free to send an ask to this blog if you have any questions and either Luna or Emily will answer!

This year, I'm not doing Dr*cula D*ily

Or any other substack but DD is the biggest. I have numerous reasons for this decision that none of y'all are gonna particularly care for, but ya know, just so we got our expectations in order: I'm not gonna participate in DD this year (maybe never again), I'm probably not gonna reblog many posts related to it (doing so would be counterintuitive), but I am holding myself to finishing Orice (at LEAST the base fic).

Now, why?

TL;DR: Mental health crisis brought on by internet harassment and overprioritizing social media. It's not fun anymore, folks.

DD just... it completely ruined the novel for me.

It was a nice phenomenon, but it took a wrecking ball to my mental health and self-worth. Now, I'm not saying DD's creator personally did something to spite me (or maybe I am, he knows what he did /j), but this whole thing? It wasn't good for me. It was never good. It was sometimes fun, but most of the time it made me want to end it because of thumblr notes.

That's fucking stupid. My life is not worth internet validation. My art is not worthless just because my numbers are not as big as the biggest big shots in the fandom. I'm not a horrible person when other people handle personal disagreements regarding headcanon with defaming rumours and impersonation. But hell! My view of reality was horribly skewed.

A while back, I unfollowed all the gothlit tags I previously followed because 1) Some people (active and popular members of the fandom, mind you, not bots or trolls) were posting honest-to-god name-dropping harassment in the tag because "it's a popular tag so more people will see my callout post" and 2) I reached a point where seeing anything related to the novel on my dash just set me off. It didn't even need to be drama-related anymore. Mentions of the characters, mentions of popular AUs, just the very content of this book became triggering to me, and I really didn't miss the content when it was gone, as sad as that is.

And the kicker? I've come to realize that I probably dislike more things about the novel than I actually like about it. Not only is it tied to some of my darkest moments in recent memory, but it's also just... a book with many flaws that I could go on and on and on about. Sometimes, it straight-up made me furious, like seething mad, and I think I'd rather just be happy. But even when I would try to channel that energy into being happy, I always felt I had to over-clarify or else I’d get bombarded with anonymous messages. If you’ve seen any of my posts from during that time… chances are there is a passive aggressive “btw people can have opposing opinions from you about an old book and it doesn’t give you leave to stone them” or several tags of “#this is a joke #a jooooooke #for the love of god #if y’all don’t stop”. I bet it was as annoying for y’all as it was for me.

P.S. Mutuals/friends, do not worry. Y'all keep doing y'all. I can and will block tags if seeing your posts triggers me. So, I suppose my only request is to properly tag, but I've been saying that from the very start.

I just want to move on to other things.

I took a break for Lent. I needed it terribly. And... not gonna lie? I almost didn't want to return. I never got an itching to just log on and "check in". I very successfully avoided tumb altogether. I came back because "I gotta come back eventually" and also like, this is my main hub where I update when I've written a fic, and ya know... I'm not gonna let toxic fandom bs rule my shit.

During my break, I got back into gaming. More specifically, I started playing Hades again. And listening to Epic the Musical. Aaaand boyyy did that bring me back to my Greek mythology phase. I have a Greek mythos/Hades sideblog btw: @areopagusimp. It's cringe, if you can't tell by the blog name.

Back when I was into Hades game and general Greek mythos, my expectations were so much smaller, but yet, my goals and will to create seemed so much bigger. I made art that no one gave a single solitary shit about (except for my friend), but I was happy. Maybe I'm wearing rose-tinted glasses, but... even if I wasn't as happy then as I remember being... haha at least I wasn't receiving threats and insults in my inbox back then :))). That was the most fun thing about the gothlit fandom. I hope every single chickenhearted angry anon is proud of their behaviour.

But yeah, whatever I end up doing, I’m striving to not let it run me into the ground.

But... What do I do now?

I have so many WIPs (art and writing) for the novel, and it's very disappointing that I didn't get to finish them before it all turned sour. Hopefully, I can still finish them, it just won't be with the same distress I worked with before. Hopefully, I can post that stuff and fully manage my expectations, not crash and burn when only a few people like it. Because hell! A few people liking my stuff? That's amazing, really. I shouldn't take that for granted. At the same time, I'm setting a boundary for myself. Placing my self-worth into the hands of people who I don't know, who don't know me, and who aren't even paying for the art? I need to stop that. Who the hell is that gonna serve? Absolutely no one.

My number one goal is to finish Orice. It is somehow untouched by my aversion to the novel; it is my safe space. I want to honour it and honour the longtime readers who have stuck with me. It's gonna be hard, but it's gonna be worth it for me.

This feels attention-seeking, and it kinda is. I'm not tagging the main subject and I'm not allowing reblogs because I want this to stay isolated (and hopefully prevent backlash/misunderstandings), but ya know, no matter how much I try to keep this small, I'm still posting it online. But I just feel like I needed to get this off my chest. I don't really owe everyone an explanation, but I want there to be one for my own sake... also it's much easier to generalize and make a post than contact each of my friends/mutuals on here and unload stuff onto them that I'm not sure is too personal or not.

For those of you who are reading: I love y'all. I love the good people I've met through all this mess. I want to keep the good apples, not throw out the whole harvest, alright? Dunno how much you'll care for my art when the subject is different, but... eh. If y'all are willing to try?

i understand that certain people in this fandom have grown extremely brave, and that this whole event is the result of that, nevermind individual works in the event, which have made it impossible for me, at least, to go into the tag for long since the start of october - however, this, the work in the tag today, is just the absolute fucking depth of depravity.

for one: having been here for over 2 yrs now, i am familiar in some way with the way this fandom has operated, and i know that works like these are in some way almost engineered out of spite, like saying "look what i can do and you can't stop me." i am sorry to anybody that feels this is an appropriate response - it's not. it's... i hope you understand that this is not [just] angering, it's horrifying and frightening, the fact that people would bring in such a level of awfulness, this degree of it, for the sake of shocking people or spite.

to those of you who have been a part of this event and are trying to be "mild" or "normal" about it - this is the company you're in. this is what the people you are willingly associating yourself with, apparently, are doing. this is what they're creating! even if you haven't had reason to so far, please really, really think about who and what you're aligning yourself with. what it is you claim is alright or acceptable or even remotely appropriate. what you're saying about yourself by being friends with these people!

and it's not about optics or friendship or sides - if you think this is about "position" at this point, or even about the dramatic and god-awful history of this fandom, i would urge you to reconsider that not from the perspective of what's happened before, but purely from the content being created and what it reflects.

please consider what these people believe - not about fanfiction, not about artistic representation, but about characters like joe, and by extension, about real people. to anticipate the argument that these are fictional characters and that fiction isn't reality - even if that was true, your readers are real. the people looking for fic in the tags are real. the harm you cause to those people is very real

please have just a moment of thinking what it means that even one (1) person was brave enough to post something like this in the tags in this event, and what it says about how they think of this character - one of the only brown muslim mlm in all of media to be in a happy and loving long-term relationship

to those of you that have had even a moment's pause when seeing this in the tags or in some server or anywhere: please, please think about it seriously and honestly and consider why that is, and why other people haven't had that pause.

if this has been explained to you at any level, told that this is to draw out those who are trying to censor or police fanfiction and creativity, consider why that might be when clearly, any attempt that has been made has been in vain if such fic exists. and maybe have a think about why this degree of violence is considered appropriate as a way to spite naysayers - and if it should be, and if you agree with that. and what it says about those explaining it to you that they are willing to accept or offer those explanations.

1, 12, 13, 29, 30

rambly answers 4 u, under the cut cos it got long

1. at what age did you start RPing?

i started in (checks notes) september '22 ! so uhhh Recently!

i mean technically i very briefly did warrior cats rp in elementary school at recess but honestly, who didn't

12. what do you think about AUs?

i personally struggle with writing AUs because i'm a very canon-focused writer when it comes to fan content? like i get really stressed out by writing things that stray too far from a canon. i develop a lot of headcanons or will choose to diverge from canon out of spite for how the original writer treated the source material, but that's about the extent of how far i'll go. i do enjoy other people's AUs-- i just come across them very rarely since usually i stay away from fandom.

i'm just not a Fandom Guy, generally speaking... i have very little patience for the internet drama that comes with fandom spaces, and i think a lot of it gets very pointless very quickly.

13. what do you think about OCs?

OCs r so epic and awesome and fweaking cool. personally i'd struggle with them in a mfrp setting-- most of my muses (besides gabe) i've apped bc of other characters in the group i could see them building relationships with, and without those connections i would have a Really hard time getting off the ground. but i do write an OC in a different group who is native to the group's setting, and it's an absolute blast to work with the lore of that group and with the other people who write related OCs!!

(also before isola i was primarily a long-form writer so generally i don't use the term OC to refer to characters OTL)

tl;dr: respect the OC crew!! shoutouts

29. what are your honest thought about your muse’s canon?

man..... i will never be a lmk defender, i think the way the showrunners went about creating this show (initially? idk if it's stayed the same over time) was hugely disrespectful, the western fandom is very white, which a lot of the time ends up very disrespectful as well. (i remain grateful that the show doesn't have guanyin in it bc i would explode and die if i had to see white people talk about her the same way they talked about the rest of the cast, and i'm not even a buddhist.)

anyway. meta stuff aside, ultimately it's a kid's show, so some stuff doesn't hit, but whatever. i don't like a lot of season 1's monster of the week stuff while they're still trying to settle into a story. also a lot of the worldbuilding is lackluster, and i'm a huge freak for interesting worldbuilding (<- spoiled by friends at the table). i do like the characters though... i am not immune to mythology retellings.

i do think it's very fun to play with, especially considering the richness of tradition of jttw retellings... we have three separate jttw casts hanging out in here! i have my qualms with the show but i write macaque cos it's incredibly fun bouncing around with y'all.

30. what are your favorite RP tropes to play? (angst, hurt-comfort, etc…)

retired gods is hands down my favorite. like what happens when you're a god and you want to stop being a god... epic

i do indulge in hurt/comfort sometimes but i generally lean heavier on the comfort than the hurt. i have a hard time writing angst for a lot of complicated reasons

i like really meticulous worldbuilding, does that count as a trope

i don't know other tropes

[bestworstcase]

Hi, im a bit lost in fandom in general and just found your blog, i hope you dont mind my asking this. You mention every now and then there being some hatedom-y niches, is it related to any political or significative offline division? Not trying to make you single out anyone, just curious whether this was a bigotry problem as in star wars, hp or other bigger sagas or just people being rude (not that its very good either). Thanx

kind…of

ok

so

the hatedom-y side of the tts fandom largely exists in this weird intersection between 1. people who are outraged that the nerdy teen boy wasn’t the protagonist of the disney princess cartoon, 2. people who wanted tts to be the sweet slice of life adventures of eugene and his girlfriend, and 3. people with a bone to pick with the sexism and (more rarely) racism inherent in the narrative itself; which creates this…odd dynamic where like, you get people furiously and correctly condemning tts for, say, sidelining the only living mom in the whole series or treating the only character of color in the main cast like an idiot manbaby who needs to be babysat by a child half his age—but then those exact same people will turn around and seethe because cassandra had the audacity to be the deuteragonist instead of their male character of choice gmfjdkdh

( which imo is one of the reasons why a lot of moonvarian / moongene content isn’t… especially good; the au concepts in and of themselves have lots of potential! but more often than not they end up kind of awkwardly railroading varian/eugene into cassandra’s narrative role bc they’re coming from a place of thinking she “stole” that from one of them gkfhdks. see also, the “chris changed the story to spite varian fans” flavor of moonvarian conspiracy, in defiance of all evidence that moon!cass was the plan from the very beginning. )

and then sort of parallel to that there is a lot. A LOT. of fandom racism vis-a-vis how the separatists of saporia are handled in fanworks, particularly in varian-centric circles where they get twisted into cackling sadistic monsters in order to facilitate varian angst. but that’s not exclusive to the hatedom-y side, the whole fandom does it /:

to an extent i think the tts hatedom is kinda… like there’s always this underlying misogyny in the way hatedomy folks interpret and talk about cassandra (and often, rapunzel) but it’s also largely comprised of people who are at least nominally socially progressive and have seized on the, very real, issues tts has with its portrayals of women and people of color as a way of legitimizing their hatred of the show (and of chris sonnenburg, who of course gets blamed 100% for everything bad and given zero credit for anything good, because god forbid we acknowledge that anyone else involved in the creation of this show might have a smidgen of agency or responsibility for how it turned out! lmao surely tts would have been perfect if only the crusty cishet white man who is sort of abrasive on twitter weren’t the one in charge 🙄)—so delving into the hatedom often ends up feeling like “lol okay, nice views you have in this glass house of yours”

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

worth noting here is that 9 times out of 10 when hatedom-y fans start talking about sexism or racism in tts itself it’s for the sake of shitting on sonnenburg vs like, trying to have meaningful or constructive critical discussions of the text or of trends in fanwork—as with any hatedom, when the focus is on proving the validity of one’s hatred for a piece of media, eventually the cynical hatemongering subsumes everything else and it all starts to feel more than a little unhinged. the most egregious example of this is of course the tangled salt marathon

#the most interesting thing abt the tts hatedom is def the sonnenburg anti-varian conspiracy tho #that one was actively fabricated by mods of the big tts discord #using screenshots of comments #(whose context they *lied about* lmao) #and trying to construe stuff like chris saying #‘varian is a supporting character’ #as character bashing akfjkdngkf #like there’s a small handful of varian stans #mostly thirty year olds !! #who are directly responsible for cultivating the martyr complex a lot of varian fans have wrt chris ‘hating’ them #it’s very weird

[oh-cramity-its-amity]

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 20. (enchantedchocolatebars)

hi!! i know its taken me a bit to answer this but here we go!!

(Here is the original ask game for those who want to see it or reblog it themselves. It is super fun!)

I have also already answered these questions as follows: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 16, 19, 20

To those questions that are duplicates, I'll substitute with unanswered ones so I can still get through the questions I haven't yet!

13.) Which season do you like best?

That's a tough question!! In hindsight I really enjoy S1 for the nostalgia factor just because of how much it meant to me and helped traverse me into the rabbit hole of this entire fandom- I will admit that it's not as plot driven as S2. However while I do think S2 is better than S1 in that aspect... I'm going to have to say S3 for right now. I know it's short, and my favorite season changes a lot but I think just how everything ended... It's not bad, it's got lumity, and it's super plot driven.

I do admit though Kings Tide and Clouds on The Horizon though!! If they were in S3 it'd easily tip S3 over into being by far the best but also I just forget about the chokehold Enchanting Grom Fright had too!!! S3 for now.

14.) Do you like aus? Any aus by someone else that are a favorite of yours? Do you have any of your own?

I love aus!! They're so fun to both write and read. I always find them interesting to see how others portray the characters and in what roles they play. Of course I almost always lean toward reading Lumity-centered fics because I love seeing those two fall in love.

It's giving "I will love you in every timeline" energy, and as someone whos favorite trope is reincarnated soulmates/lovers it checks out.

In terms to some of my favorite aus? I have a few I'll link below, but I have a few of my own that I've came up with (more so specifically my vampire one that was created out of sort of spite for not seeing something I wanted to see- I'll give a brief thing but in 2020 it was uncommon to find vampire toh fics where Amity was the vampire and not Luz. Me being me wanted to see if I could turn that idea into something and well.. Here I am.

When I get more aus done, I'll come back with more for that but here are some of my favorites and I highly recommend and LOVE to hear or have talks about them (no one ever talks about them with me and grrr!!! I love talking abt lumity fanfiction)

1.) learning how to be (with you by my side)- uniqueusernamegenerator [A COLLEGE LUMITY AU THAT I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS FIC. READ THIS PLEASE ARGHHH!!!!! I AM BLASTING THIS AUTHOR WITH SO MUCH LOVE BECAUSE I LOVE THIS ONE SM.]

2.) I'll Catch You - Black_Cat_Autumn - [A soulmark band au where Luz and Amity have matching words but neither know apart from the fact that Luz wrote a song about hers in hopes to find her soulmate. Beautifully written!! I absolutely loved this when I read it, I cannot give it enough praise for having such a sweet ending. I literally devoured this fic in a day or so because I was so hooked. So invested. The ending!! I have the last little quote screenshotted in my phone somewhere because I love it sm!! This au was awesome.]

3.) all I've got is my heart (and pride) [Mechanic Luz, that also has an EXTREMELY amazing description of autisim and ADHD. I love the analogy that the author has about the bees. Everything about this fic was amazing and I guarentee that you will not be able to put it down once you start it. Everyone I show this fic to always tells me they literally stay up reading it. Everything about it, I love. INCLUDING the implication of NONBINARY LUZ!!!! My heart, this fic is awesome and not to be overlooked even if the summary isn't the best at capturing its contents <3]

15.) Favorite antagonist? Why?

AMITY!!! For many reasons but her character development shows a lot throughout the changes she goes through. Also Lilith for the same reason, but I wish we had more time to properly explore that growth because I love Lilith, but dear titan that arc was rushed.

Amity because while it MAY be an easy answer, her entire character changes, but not in the way that fits Luz but in a way that grows with her. Luz sees Amity for who she is and throughout her development we see her changing into finding her own voice and finding/being who she wants to be.

16.) Common theory that you disagree with?

I have already answered this question here.

I will substitute this question with 18 I won't answer them out of order lengthwise because it'll annoy me.

17.) Character you want to like, but don't? Why?

This is going to be such a hot take but Hunter. I get the love people have for him, but I just feel like the fandom glamorizes him in spaces that make it almost feel toxic in a way. I get the whole character arc of wanting to love and appreciate his development but some people in this fandom (NOT ON HERE!!) that I've came into contact within passing have just taken liking him way too far. I don't see people appreciating Gus enough or Vee. Instead, its Hunter- Which IS TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE, and everyone is allowed to have opinions, I just feel like some people take it too far. Thankfully everyone here is pretty chill and like Hunter isn't down my throat as hard. Plus his fanart is really cool too.

I'm indifferent to him more so now but hes just not my FAVORITE character but I do see his appeal. I'm just not diehard kin. Hunter kins scare me too, like are yall okay over there?? Get some sleep with those eyebags.

Like hes cool!! I just don't love him enough to be obsessed over him, but complete props to those who are, and I appreciate all the talent yall give for creating art about him. I know that even if hes not my favorite, he doesn't have to be because there are people who understand and relate and love him and that's a good thing. He deserves to be loved, I hope that makes sense??? I promise I'm not trying to bash him.

18.) Character you used to dislike, and now like? What changed your mind?

Lilith??? I just think her growth (even if small in comparison to Hunter's and Amitys) through the time we saw her helped to shift the story in a more interesting light (pun intended). I think while yeah, I did really REALLY hate her in the beginning because she was a complete bitch-- We really grew to see her in a different way and how she overall turned the tide of things. I really wonder things about the curse still though.

Also cannon aroace character?? HELLO??? SO SLAY. I love that representation.

20.) Which character do you relate to most?

I have already answered that question here.

Thank you for the ask again. I know it was a bit lengthy but yeah!!

Kharmii's Million Stupid BJ Blankship Head Canons

(This is a personal joke, but if you know, you know)

(Big thanks to my muse, Serial Coomer Schlub on Discord who RPs stupid fetishes all day and never contributes to fandom)

(I won't include bj fantasies featuring attractive Melli or Volo because it's offensive people ship them with the twins as an alternative to all this stupid blankshipping crap)

(Send me asks, and I will make promises like your American congressman up for re-election in midterms 2022)

(When I first got into this fandom, I had people tell me they'd never check General Submas for fear of antis. The only content they'd take in is on the shipping tag, and they'd only reblog from others on the shipping tag. Have you seen it lately? Imagine that being all you get...mostly someone doubling down on dog-fucking out of spite)

(This is a parody, but it will get filthy, so it's under a cut for your consideration. I'm not using the blankshipping tag because I'm taking the piss)

1.) Vampire Submas: The twins struggle to prevent teef from getting in the way of swallowing whole-ass peen.

2.) Dead Dove Ingo: Emmet is good and DEAD. Luckily Ingo is flexible enough to suck his own dick.

3.) Emmet is a quadruple amputee. The only reason he doesn't ask for compassionate euthanasia is because he still has one mouth and one schlong.

4.) Arceus hates Ingo, so he turned him into a four-eyed llama who sucks big D from the time he gets up to the time he goes to bed.

5.) Emmet is a mermaid-man with a human-looking wang....because you know why.

6.) Omegaverse: I won't provide details because you already know it's fucking stupid.

7.) Bloahjibacorn.....nuff said.

8.) Instead of a penis, Emmet has twelve tentacles with dick heads on them. Ingo ends up in Immediate Care with blower's cramp (similar to soy face) where Nurse Joy tells him his face is stuck like that. There's nothing they can do.

9.) Emmet has Ingo locked in his basement with his leg cut off. Even though they gave each other bjs like a hundred times a day, Ingo refused to tell Emmet he loves him....because they brothers an' sheeit..

10.) Ingo is a huge tiddy sucubus who sucks out parts of Emmet's soul along with his bodily fluids.

11.) Zombie!Emmet: One day Ingo looks in utter horror as Emmet's putrified dong just falls off. Emmet nonchalantly picks it up and sucks on it like a rotted sahsage.

12.) The twins are pony princesses, and Emmet is peeved Ingo was born seventeen minutes earlier making him the heir to the throne. It ends up not mattering because they find out the only way they can save the pony kingdom from the evil horde of nasty-wasties is through the power of love and friendship (and by 'love and friendship' I mean bjs and back rubs).

13.) Robot Emmet: Ingo created him because he has a YUGE fucking ego. I'm sure we can work robo-bjs into this somehow.

14.) SerialKiller!Emmet: Emmet is a serial killer known as the 'Two-Dollar Hooker'. He offers to suck someones dick for two dollars. After he leads them into a dark alley, he goes through with the bj, takes the two dollars, then kills the guy. Later, he buys a toothbrush with the money.

15.) Nothing about trains, pokemon or the twins being big, creepy puppets though. I just can't work with that crazy shit. I don't even really like any of that shit and don't get why I'd do this. Maybe I just like to take something cute, quirky and innocent -such as gardevoir or train clowns- and smear dog poopy on it.

On the topic of Hogoshamaru Week:

I’m seeing antis crying about it and saying we’re “purposely writing triggering content” and I just... have to come back here and let my thoughts run for a bit because...

1. Saying something like that as if triggers are something objective - they are not, they are by definition subjective, not everyone has the same triggers or is triggered by the same thing - all of it is just... plain harmful

2. The sheer entitlement, of acting like anyone who would participate in this week... would be making “”triggering content””... for them? This week is for us, they have their week that no one has been interfering with, and we have ours featuring themes and content that.. they slander us for and we want to ‘reclaim’. Worthy of mention that they were very quick to learn about our week (I’m talking mere minutes after the week’s account announced), how and why being beyond reason, since this is a shipper week anyway and they should have no interest to stalk us and give a dime on what we do. Funny how that works though I guess.

3. Then they’re salty we might have made it out of spite, which... surprised to see them cry about it as if their Hogoshamaru week didn’t come out of spite in the first place, as a gotcha towards shippers because “hogosha is parent uwu, they’re father-daughter you pedos”. Hypocrisy alive and thriving. And again I have to wonder why they care, when technically, if they ever minded their own business, stopped stalking shippers, learned to use a block button, and potentially stopped expecting the world to revolve around them, this would have zilch to do with them at all.

4. I just have to laugh at their claims that we’re impersonating them. How do you impersonate a week... a god damn event... Impersonating requires a person. Not only that but, the events aren't even happening simultanously/have the same dates planned so neither really infringes on the other with anything. Who’d have thought...

5. The minute they found about it they started screaming as if burned, that they can’t have their own space or we’re taking it away, they can’t have anything... and again... no one trampled with their week in the slightest. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone saying they can’t make their week, or that they can’t/shouldn’t write for it/parental in general, we didn’t rally and make posts to report their event or their urls, in fact their week is still very much being held, the events themselves, again, aren’t being held at the same time and have... different weeks, and overall it doesn’t suffer losses of any sort, to my awareness.

Anyway, they’ve weaponized “hogosha(maru)” to slander and their week was at its core an intent to shame, and at the end of the day, no matter how spiteful of a response, the shipper week is a way to say that we don’t give a fuck about what they think and that they don’t have that power over us, through creating content, and I think that’s beautiful.

This fandom never ceases to test the limits of the absolute moronic and at this point... if what people have fun with makes you so mad that you call them pedos over it, I too would start writing even more of the filthiest most degenerate porn in response and see you choke on your own mouth-froth. Deserved, quite frankly.

Questioning Nie Huaisang’s Motives

My partner and I had a recent discussion about Nie Huaisang. 

One of the things I love about The Untamed is the amount of ambiguity in the story. It truly is how you build a fandom. Add just enough ambiguity so people can take the story and run with it. Create their own interpretations and head cannons. 

But I digress. 

One of the characters with a huge amount of ambiguity is Nie Huaisang. He inspires so many questions. 

For one, by the end of the story we all know Nie Huaisang to be a master manipulator and actor, like textbook evil genius. 

I think most of us assume that he’s always been that intelligent. Even though he came off as a dullard when he was younger, it was all part of an act no? In the novel even Wei Wuxian comments that he doesn’t find Nie Huaisang unintelligent, only that he uses his intelligence for things that give him pleasure like collecting art or birds. 

So that leads to the question, why did Nie Huisang hide his cunning for so long when he was younger? It obviously wasn’t easy with his brother being as scary as he was. 

There might be several reasons, again thats the lovely part of ambiguity, but my partner and I theorized two and what I find interesting about them is that one makes him out to be more benevolent than evil and vice versa. 

THEORY#1: HE WANTED TO BE A GOOD CLAN LEADER... one who would last, so he was trying to deny the inevitable for the longest amount of time possible. 

Nie Huaisang knows that every head of the Nie clan inevitably falls mad due to their style of cultivation.

He knows that while being good at cultivation would earn him respect, possibly the same type of respect his brother engendered, but it would also put him at the start of a one way path towards madness. 

He probably knows that he will have to take over the clan at some point. He’s not dumb, he knows that his brother will eventually succumb to his family’s fate. 

But when he ascends as leader he would rather give his people a leader who can last, who can make smart decisions even if his cultivation isn’t high. He may eventually have to start cultivating more as it would be expected of him, but by playing the inept fool he can delay the process. 

If we take this sort of selfless, benevolent interpretation of Nie Huaisang, we might even make the leap that his take down of Meng Yao wasn’t only personal, but something that he may have seen as for the greater good.

THEORY#2: HE DIDN’T WANT TO BE CLAN LEADER AT ALL....he didn’t want the responsibility. 

Our second interpretation was that Nie Huaisang fakes being an idiot merely because he doesn’t want to take on any role as clan leader. 

He might be a genius but that doesn’t mean he wants to be in charge of others or lead. He’d rather spend time fulfilling his own pleasures. Thus, he makes himself seem inept. 

Again, he probably understands that he will eventually have to become leader, but for the time he is content to manipulate the circumstances to draw out that future for as long as possible.

Now the thing that I think is darkly interesting about this second theory is that it paints Nie Huaisang in a more selfish light. If we look at this interpretation of Nie Huaisang, then we can picture him as being petty and spiteful. So what if his take down of Meng Yao wasn’t just vengeance for his brother’s death BUT ALSO personal vengeance for forcing him to take on a responsibility he never wanted in the first place. 

The take down is also revenge for spoiling his free time in a sense. 

Doesn’t that kind of give you chills? 

What do you guys think of these random notions? I haven’t watched the movie with him and Nie Mingjue so I’m probably missing more character insight.

10 reasons why a poorly adjusted adult Dib is a Valid headcanon

1. Dib is/was a neglected child

Dib doesn’t have a parent that he can lean on and go talk to for advice, his father is frequently out of the picture and doesn’t give a shit about the thing that Dib cares about. Dib is actively encouraged by his neglectful father to give up on it, actually. I believe this would make Dibs stubborn streak really bitter and spiteful. Most people reading this are LGBTQ+, I assume I don’t need to explain how a fucked up an isolated upbringing, or being unable to be yourself around a parent, hurts you in the long run. 

2. Dib is bullied for the things he is passionate about, and being bullied heavily colours your perception of other people 

The world of Invader Zim is not kind, Dib is frequently harassed by his classmates/superiors/family for his outbursts/lectures/overall investigator shtick. 

Now you might say “but, Screaming, wouldn’t Dib learn to tone it down as he got older?” and YEAH. Probably! But does that mean that he would just forgive all the people that made his life horrible before that point? Or who socially ostracized him for the things he’d done in the past? No. No one is under any  obligation to forgive anyone who hurt them, and I think Dib wouldn’t even try to forgive someone he saw as intellectually inferior 

3. Dib is a selfish rich kid

Dib is selfish. He wants to be the protector of earth- but he doesn’t do it for earths sake. He’s clearly doing it as a cry for attention/ a reason to eventually be vindicated for being spit on by his own kind.  I don’t think he would have genuine empathy for other people. If he did have it, it’d have to be something he had to work really hard at. However, I don’t see Dib putting much effort into understanding other humans. 

Dib is rich (probably). This one being more of a headcanon- in the series Dib wants for no material object, he wastes technology on his explorations like it’s something he can just pick up from the dollar store, his father is a world renowned scientist with access to crazy technology and the ears of world leaders. I think he’d feel entitled to one or two things 

4. Gaz is not her brothers keeper. 

She’s not responsible for his mental health, she’s not responsible for keeping him in line and “normal”. Most of the time she doesn’t want a damn thing to do with him. If we’re going by the standards of the IZ tv show, the only times that Gaz interfered with Dibs paranormal investigations were when Professor M. Was also involved. Either she wanted to see her dad and Dibs antics were getting in the way (forcing her to intervene), or she was directly ordered by their dad to keep Dib out of trouble.  Sure, you could argue that she would beat the shit out of Dib for doing something she didn’t like- but that wouldn’t “fix” the mind of a very stubborn person. It might even make them dig their heels in even deeper out of spite and bitterness as a “fuck you I’m right you’re wrong” 

Furthermore, as Gaz gets older she’s going to have her own life to worry about and might stop tolerating the way Prof. M uses her as a middle man to deal with his “poor insane son”. She’s under no obligation to fix any of the phases Dibs life might go through. If Dib was unpleasant enough, and Gaz had the resources to leave, I think she might just bail on him. 

5. Dib is arrogant 

He's gonna do what he thinks is the best course of action unless you physically stop him from doing so. He comes from a place of thinking that he is right, the opinion of anyone else is secondary. Dib will do “what needs to be done” for “the greater good”. Whatever he thinks that “good” is. He wants to play the white knight at any cost. He cannot be in the wrong, or that bravado towards being righteous in the end crumbles. I think Dib would subscribe to a “the ends justify the means” mentality

6. Dib would harm another person to get what he wanted

In a room with a moose, Dib debates letting himself die just to take his entire class down with him. In the unaired episode “return of Keef”, he co-operates with Zim in an attempt to make Keef explode, because he thinks Keef is irritating. Dib used Gaz to test out an ancient spell book, cursed Gaz to only taste pork, and then only helped fix the problem when threatened with physical violence. This could be the kind of thinking that gets worse over time as more people mock his attempts to save and protect them. Why care about people that don’t even give a shit if they live or die?  Dib is a smart fringe personality in his world, and the otherness that he feels for that could lead to a sociopathic way of thinking if things went bad enough 

7. Dib does not care about other peoples personal space

Dib hides cameras in Zims house. Dib ran right past the front gate at NASA Place, Dib chased a baby big foot up a radio tower. Dib bullied Zim physically on the playground using his known weaknesses against him. Dib would do anything to get the evidence he needed to prove what he wanted to prove, and that would get him in trouble. Repeatedly

8. Antisocial tendencies (like spending countless hours fused to a chair, or most of your young adult life spent hunched over a desk at a computer screen) make it difficult to smoothly socially integrate, and the world of Invader Zim is fuckin' mean

You know the world he comes from is mean. However, assuming Dib did find community somewhere, who’s to say they would agree with him? Or like him? Maybe one of them would cause problems for him that were bad enough he’d have to leave. I’ve always found that the IZ portrayal of earth to be like this funny cynical parody of a dystopian police state america. If we’re going by “what can go wrong will go wrong”, Dibs social integration wouldn’t get easier without a bunch of effort on Dibs part. Maybe Dib would have to pretend to be somebody unlike himself just to get by in his day to day adult life. If we see Dibs country of residence as a police state, the world Dib grows up in would encroach heavily on his personal privacy, and that might make him even stranger via paranoia 

9. Sadistic tendencies towards anything paranormal (obsessed with the act of dominating and exposing the unknown)

Dib is a fucking jerk to Zim (rightfully so), but Dib is a dick to pretty much every supernatural thing he comes across. Either out of an excess of enthusiasm, or using a supernatural being to further his own plans, or from an invasion of privacy, or being an irritant to the entity he’s dealing with. He LIKES to be mean to them.  He  wishes to have mastery over knowing how they work. (maybe it’s more fair to say Dib is a voyeur?)  

This is more headcanon than anything, but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say he might also want to control the paranormal for his own purposes. If Dib could say- catch a ghost in a jar so he could show it to everyone, he’d do it. If he could trick a werewolf into transforming on stage in front of a large audience? He’d do that.

10. Dib is created to be Zims equal

Dib is as “evil” as Zim is and vice versa. Neither of them is good, or pure, or morally justified. It’s a nice little grey dynamic. Both characters think they’re entirely in the right when they act. That they often aren’t in the right is fun because then you get to write/draw/ think about how they’d react to the consequences. Dib could still totally be a hero in his own mind, despite setting an apartment block on fire to flush out a coven of litches.

The reverse of this is also true, Zim can do nice things, and occasionally be good as Dib can be good. I figure the Zim/Dib dynamic changes for everyones interpretations at least somewhat. Having Zims terrible actions rub off on Dib as their battles escalate is a really fun way to go about exploring their relationship 

11. I like the it

There is no right or wrong way to enjoy a cartoon character! Live to make yourself happy in fandom! If you ever thought you needed permission to create rancid content, I’m sorry you felt pressured not to do it. 

You want to make a serial killer Dib?? You want to make a basement dwelling depressed zit covered Dib?? You want to make a Dib who struggles with his trauma through substance abuse?? Go HAM!!

adni [ㅃㅇ| ⚠️]

adults audiences if you are 20+ and were not part of the fandom when you were 16/17 do NOT read/interact any of my student content. the only exceptions is if they have turned 18+. if this is upsetting to you, block me and move along. there are many more writers who are more willing to let you consume their content.

↪ while not all but most instances i personally have experienced that individuals who are over 24 support nonces or are nonces themselves and it makes me extremely uncomfortable especially with the rise of underage content going on.

yadni [노잼| ⚠️]

younger audiences who are not 16+ please do not read my yandere stories. people who are younger do not understand the difference with overall dark content. from personal experience its true. although right now i necessarily will not write anything too dark with yandere, there are other people who do write more extreme yandere themes and i am not comfortable in indirectly promoting that. this is for your safety.

dcdni [ㅗㅗ| ⚠️]

dark content/heavy 18+ creators please do not interact with my sfw. not much to say and nothing personal. i am just not comfortable.

i will only do requests i am comfortable with.

PLEASE ASK ME IF I AM COMFORTABLE WITH ANYTHING BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST. now, this does not mean dont request anything risque, it just means that if i dont feel comfortable doing it i wont write it.

please be kind.

please dont be rude or berate me for any of my writing choices. i will never intend to ever hurt anyone. also dont hate what anyone requests either. everyone here is here for a good time.

be specific of the request.

if you have a certain idea in your head, please be as specific as you can. enough that i can give you what you want as the finish product. if you are vague i’ll just come up with something on my own.

mention if you want m(ale),f(emale), or g(ender neutral).

for the gender neutral, i will not write smut because as referenced as before, i dont feel like i’ll be able to write it good and make you, the reader, happy. again, its me, not you.

please put either sfw, nsfw, or both.

i often have to get a little frustrated when people dont put that they want it to be nsfw or sfw, because ik some people dont like sex and stuff and i want people to be comfortable. so if you want nsfw, please say so. or i will have to write sfw as default.

i only write for fandoms listed here.

a few reblogs/works on my main will be from different fandoms, but because its my blog i dont care lol. if you want me to write something for a different character, DM me because i write for different fandoms on my other writing accounts, you may find more on my ao3.

i am not accepting more than 5 characters per request.

yes i said i love long requests, but pls no. and if you are requesting more than five characters, pls specify if it is separate or together.

no politics.

just no. i wont even mention it. you might see a few if it runs something deep within me (its mostly just awareness), but otherwise i will try to only post pics, fics, and encouragement. : ) this would include government, touchy subjects, etc;

definitely send memes, even random shit,,, i’ll probably respond to it.

do i need to explain that –

i dont mind who reads and interacts with me or my blog/content, but if you are not 16-17 (older or younger), please ask to DM me first.

i am okay with any interactions on my blog! i dont feel uncomfortable if its thirsting on my blog, at least be 16+. please if you do want to talk, please ask for consent and letting me know your intentions before dming me privately. im always open to having acquaintances, if talking on my blog makes it awkward, you are more than welcome to message me on discord!

~ simply send me an ask off anon so i can reply to you privately!

DO NOT SEND PROBLEMATIC/DRAMA ASKS. do not send negativity or i will snatch your wig.

andrew and neil are switches, don’t you forget it

ok hi here for my (probably) daily aftg rant,,,,so i’m seeing that the majority of the fandom (as far as i’ve seen anyway)--or fics/fanart consisting of andreil doing the do--view neil as a power bottom ?

am i incorrect? are my resources false? idk bout u but so far i’ve only seen like one fic where neil is the top/penetrator (!mao is that even a real word idk but it sounds weird haha cute ok anyway)

and honestly, i have to disagree. i do. i’m not trying to push andrew’s boundaries by saying that neil could top, i’m just saying that y’all don’t give neil enough credit.

liek,,,,,bro,,,,,do you not see the amount of top energy neil mf josten radiates ???? like, yes, we know andrew takes the lead but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’d top forever ?????

( just a proposition, ofc but this is just my opinion based on observations--yet again ) 

( and tbh i had difficulty trying to figure who was the top and who was the bottom between them when i encountered the first hint of intimate growth in their relationship--to the point where i had to ask my best friend who hadn’t a clue what aftg was prior to (that’s when the aftg rants officially started/ignited) and it took some time/proper discussion/consideration but he first came up with the conclusion that andrew was a sub top and that neil was a power bottom )

as for yours truly, i came to the conclusion that they are both switches (some time after i finished reading).

i mean,,,,,,can you really just look at neil josten--wholly, like his entire personality, attitude (problem !), traits, &c and decide on the spot that he’s a bottom ??? how ??? how the hell do you come up with that ?????

and hear me out, i have evidence/reasons:

one) The Great Riko Roast™️. need i say more? 

(if elaboration is necessary:

keep in mind that neil (this literal fucking nobody) burned riko (supposedly the king of exy or whatever the fuck, who cares) to ground on the spot (no script, just his attitude problem (mwah i love him) and pure spite)

again, he burned him to the ground on live television, publicly humiliating riko with each and every word

idk bout u but i am so damn sure andrew found out right then n there that this bitch radiates top energy for fucking sure (or, in his words, isn’t spineless)

neil committing arson via verbal attacks is just---splendid. absolutely mesmerizing. flawless. truly inspiring. gamechanging. glorious. 

he’s so rude i love him

anyway )

two) neil can shut up andrew up without having to touch or kiss him. he can leave him speechless. with just his words. 

(yes, we know anybody & everybody knows better than to touch andrew but like i mean he wouldn’t have to fight him or whatever) (and he doesn’t have to kiss him to shut him up--though he definitely can--he doesn’t have to because that’s just how fucking powerful he is)

y’all,,,,,are you ready for one of the most amazing lines i believe we all know and love,,,,,

““You have a problem wherein you only invest your time and energy into worthless pursuits."

“This,” Neil flicked his finger to indicate the two of them, “isn’t worthless.”

“There is no ‘this’. This is nothing.”

“And I am nothing,” Neil prompted. When Andrew gestured confirmation, Neil said, “And as you’ve always said, you want nothing.”

Andrew stared stone-faced back at him.

[...andrew had his hand frozen mid-air...(i forgot the rest)]”

if this does not prove dominance to you, i don’t know what to tell you. (HE WAS MERELY SPEAKING AND ANDREW COULD NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING-- A N Y T H I N G --TO SAY BACK BC IT’S A PERSONAL ATTACK AND HE DIDN’T SEE IT COMING AND THAT’S WHY HE SEES NEIL AS INTERESTING/WHY HE ‘HATES’ HIM SO MUCH BRO I)

hOweVeR

i know that dom bottoms exist (i think so, anyway) or bottoms that radiate top energy/the position (i.e. bottom,top) energy you radiate can be entirely different from what position you really are/are comfy with and that these are just words but that brings me to my following point,

three) (#1 insitgator, he, oh yes, neil josten, yes indeed) his unexpected (and to be frank, quite thrilling) acts of asserting dominance ?????? um ????

(when they were kith kithing next to the kitchen (next to kitchen) in neil’s dorm room) “[neil felt his phone buzz in his back pocket and against the wall it was obnoxiously loud. he already knew it was his daily countdown, but he already knew how much little time he had left. he didn’t need to reminded, especially now...andrew took it out of his back pocket and offered it to neil, pulling away from his mouth. neil took the phone from andrew’s hand and threw it across the living room, not taking his eyes off andrew. andrew watched as the phone bounced off the couch and onto the carpet. neil kissed his neck in attempt to distract him and was rewarded by a startled jolt which was enough reason to do it again. and even though andrew pushed his face away, they were close enough for neil to not miss how andrew shivered.]” 

b r o ,,,,,,,,,,,, bro,,,,,,it just--

(when they were alone in the bus otw to that one away game--belmonte, i think?) “[“i wonder when coach found out about this,” neil prompted. 

“there is no ‘this’.”

“i wonder when coach found out you only want to kill me ninety-three percent of the time.”

neil retraced his steps and had a moment of realization. before andrew left for easthaven, neil had told andrew to trust him and not ‘neil’. 

“it was before you left,” neil started... 

“coach doesn’t believe what other people want him to believe, he believes what he sees,” andrew replied...

“are you going to tell them?” neil was referring to the rest of the team, and this was up to him, whether they’ll be out or not. 

“i won’t have to. renee says the upperclassmen are betting on your sexuality.”

neil knew that matt mentioned that there were bets on about him, but he didn’t know it was about this.

“it’s a waste of time and money. they’ll all lose. i’ve said all year that i don’t swing and i meant it. kissing you doesn’t make me look any of them differently. the only one i’m interested in is you.”

“don’t say stupid things.”

“make me.” and with that, neil grabbed a fistful of andrew’s hair and pulled him in.]” 

dude,,,,,,,,,he can take control,,,,,he can,,,,he can lead, too, but he follows andrew’s because he’s a good boy and he knows how important it is. he improvises and uses what he has and takes control from there. dude. dude. 

three) honestly? i think andrew likes it. neil’s unexpected acts of confidence,,,kinda leaves him on the edge of his seat yk,, like doesn’t it increase his percentage? it does, right? cuz ik it did when andrew guided neil to touch his chest and neil emulated andrew’s words, “i won’t be like them. i won’t let you let me be.” (i love them bye) but liek,,,,yeah idk andrew liking neil’s neck kisses/fetish kinda tells me he likes it so maybe this isn’t concrete evidence particularly but i’m still including it because andrew’s a switch, idc what anyone says, 

four) i lost my train of thought but i ran out of reasons--on the spot, anyway--so i might come back to this if i do but just to make it clear:

andrew minyard is a switch. (it just takes time, like a lot, but it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily impossible/never gonna happen.)

neil josten is a switch. (he respects andrew’s boundaries and doesn’t push him, he’s fine being guided, but it doesn’t mean he can’t take the initiative himself (and i forgot to mention it but re: when he asked andrew if he doesn’t like to be touched in general or if it’s a trust thing + many more times, before & after their first kiss, i believe, my brain is just empty rn) and i just think that deserves more recognition)

so !! 

(this post is a mess, (i always am but today’s just worse) i know, and i’m sorry)

in conclusion,

let neil top andrew !! they deserve it !! 

(not that vice versa is bad, but this isn’t either, yk, just saying. also, i hope this isn’t too late to say in the post, but i do not, i repeat, i do not, intend to pressure any content creator--fic writers, fan artists, editors, &c--to create content this particular way only,,,,okay,,,gotta make that unequivocally clear. and i’m not saying andrew topping neil is bad or overrated, because i know that when it comes to them, sex in general would take some time, especially neil topping andrew, but i think they deserve that freedom, yk. again,,,,this is just my personal opinion. no insisting statements here, just wish for freedom to speak my mind, that is all. also feel free to interact if you agree/disagree or both !! i’m willing to hear anyone’s comments or thoughts or whatever !! i hope i’m talking to a brick wall here ahah) 

bro brain poop rn

anyway

tl/dr: bro let neil top (not necessarily on top, but that works, too--either/or--or both, if y’all dare ;DD (kill me) (but like srsly) (let neil top) (plz) :))

(also somewhat off topic but might anyone have access to some fics in which consist of neil first getting andrew off ??? i randomly remember it from ms. sakavic’s extra content page and i would like to see what the fandom offers, if y’all don’t mind)

im so mean and insistent on my aftg-related opinions now that i think about it

whoops

#so help me #let neil fucking top #please #it's the character development they deserve #the growth #theyve been through so much #together #please they mean so much to me #you cant just #leave me hanging yk #ok ill admit thats selfish of me but #seriously #let neil top #its not impossible #aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #trk #the raven king #tkm #the kings men #andreil #andrew and neil #andrew minyard #neil josten #andrew minyard and neil josten #neil and andrew #bottom andrew ???? #a concept

You don't gotta answer this publicly, but what on earth happened/is happening RE: Dogpiling?

this is long but there’s a lot to cover and i don’t know how much information is pre-known going into this.

basically breadtuber sarah z made a 2 hour fandom postmortem video on homestuck. instead of being a genuine look into what made the comic and the fandom so massive and so relevant for so long, she kind of glosses over all that in the first thirty minutes, then spends the rest of the video discussing homestuck’s two major controversies in the least tactful way imaginable. 

the first one she talks about is the hiveswap development hell fiasco, which on paper is an interesting thing to bring up in relation to a lack of content contributing to fandom decline, but sarah’s primary source for all this is a pseudo-anonymous blog run by giovan_h, someone who is notorious for treating dangerous and baseless accusation as fact and for obsessively stalking current and former whatpumpkin staff members to obtain information for said blog. she supposedly tries to bring a balanced argument on what exactly happened in the three year dark period between hiveswap’s supposed release date and when act 1 actually came out by pitting ipgd’s tumblr post (the one that made the odd gentlemen embezzlement claims vis a vis king’s quest) against giovan’s blog (claiming through anonymous and unverified sources that hussie deliberately dicked around and failed to meet a single deadline, then broke contract terms by using the kickstarter money to commission the odd gentlemen to animate act 7 instead of working on hiveswap. there are a lot of other unsavoury claims about hussie and certain other wp members among these blog posts, but that’s the primary relevant gist). 

neither account can actually be verified (ipgd’s post claims their information is spotty because they’re talking around a pretty strict settlement nda and giovan’s sources and accounts are deliberately vague and unverifiable to “protect various parties from retaliation from hussie/wp”) but sarah ultimately comes down and says that she’s inclined to take giovan’s blog as more truthful for. reasons. this is obviously bad because within minutes of the video dropping several wp team members reveal sarah never once tried to get in contact with them, which has led to attacks on the team members because a lot of zealous people looking for an excuse to keep being mad at homestuck in the wake of hs^2′s semi-permanent hiatus were emboldened by a video essayist treating the ugliest speculation as hard fact. as of right now, the hiveswap kickstarter has released a statement clarifying the development situation as best they can (from what i’ve read it does point to them legally being unable to point to/discuss certain things) which has had all the impact of dropping a match onto an oil spill. the anti homestuck zealots firmly believe every word of that post to be bullshit and are accusing the wp team of covering for hussie and his super heinous evil crimes (keep in mind we are still not privy to the internal workings of wp because why the fuck would we be) so the wp team in turn are putting these people on blast for this dangerous harassment (it doesn’t need to be said that as a professional being publicly accused of covering up fraud is a very bad thing) and then as a counter counter response the angry fans are now accusing the wp staff of abusing their power to direct mass harassment towards specific individuals (this amounting to people getting into wp members’ private discord servers and publicly posting mean things they have said about giovan et al which imo only serves to bolster the stalking claims) and the whole thing went very ugly very fast.

the second controversy that sarah brings up is everything involved in post canon homestuck (epilogues, pesterquest, hs^2). here she reverts to more of a passively pro-fandom stance, asserting time and time again how horrible and evil the epilogues and everything else were because of how they took the characters and stories everyone knows and loves and warped them into something unrecognisably terrible, that post-canon homestuck was universally reviled. in a very bad and awkward placement of information she then segues into a kind of hand-wavey discussion of the intense backlash towards certain post-canon trans interpretations (of vriska, june, and roxy) in a very I Am A Cis Woman So I’m Not Qualified To Make Any Statements Here Other Than Transphobes Fuck Off <3 But Also This Is Indicative Of A Growing Fandom Resentment way, which honestly begs the question of why she needed to include this at all. another bad thing here is how she super glosses over the “controversies” surrounding “the advocates for june egbert” and “the writer for vriska’s pesterquest route” - she is obviously referring to former creative director kate here (she kind of confirms this on twitter by saying she didn’t want to mention kate by name in order to not stir up further drama which uh... yeah) and the inexcusably terrible chain of events which led to every single out trans woman working on homestuck to resign to protect themselves from further mass harassment and dogpiling from the fandom.

she instead, for some reason decides to focus on how post-canon homestuck has been a total commercial and creative failure, that homestuck^2 basically shouldn’t have even happened after the fandom’s distaste for the epilogues and that it was not only controversial but also was a low quality mess everyone agreed sucked. she then goes on to compare the hs^2 team to the wp hiveswap dev team, and passively applies the same giovan-esque assertions to the internal workings of hs^2, kind of but not really implying the reasons given for the shutting down of hs^2 were bullshit. this is super bad for the fact that the post canon homestuck team is the most openly marginalised group of people working for hs is in an official capacity, and we have seen time and time again what drawing undue, speculative negative attention towards these people has done. again, reminder sarah did not reach out to a single person who worked/is working on homestuck for what is essentially a drama video disguised as a fandom postmortem. the upshot here is that her post-canon section served to embolden yet another wp-hostile section of the fanbase - those who adamantly believe that only the fandom itself can create worthwhile homestuck projects, and that all writers are evil people who want their queer fans dead (only a partial exaggeration) and produce spite projects which are driven by the steadfast belief that their work is inherently superior to official content by virtue of their fan status. among this group were a lot of people who latched onto any accusation against a team member as fuel to push them out of “ruining” such a beloved franchise so sarah’s video serves as proof that all the hs^2 writers were morally corrupt monsters ruining a fandom space that was meant for minors and queer people (this is all very anti/anti-anti carousel of bullshit nonsense that i have no time for) and thus they’re confident to once again tear down the remaining public facing staff members, ignoring how all this crusade has done so far is drive a handful of trans women and people of colour off of official homestuck projects for their own safety.

then she ends the video with a “oh btw this video is proudly sponsored by audible <3″ bit and it’s just. beyond unbelievably awfully stupid that she deliberately reignited this aggression which has caused untold material harm on marginalised people (that happened less than a year ago!!!) just for the sake of quick clicks and ad revenue. she consolidated the most dogshit takes as fact within the general fandom consensus, sided with some of the worst people to engage with homestuck, potentially detonated the last shreds of stability of this independent marginalised media project, and wrapped it all up with a sponsorship from an amazon subsidiary company of all fucking things. this is obviously a case of an incredibly short sighted decision to cash in on a very complicated and unwieldy fandom history but still the potential consequences here are unfathomable.

#extrarabbitsauce #didn't intend on this being public but i saved as draft and now my only choice is to publicly post this. whatever #got called a terf for liking homestuck^2 whatever pigshit this post potentially attracts will be nothing

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

Fans who say there is no difference between a Japanese or an English release are being purposely naive. We all know there is a difference - more than one - and I’ll name a few:

1. BTS have always released albums and original songs in Japanese. This is nothing new. It’s how the K-POP world works. 

Counterargument: it’s true that the kpop world has evolved and will start to cater more to Western audiences; English releases are inevitable. Japanese releases reflect JPN’s power in the Eastern market, and ENG releases represent mainly the US’s power in the Western market. JPN songs also sound different to Korean songs in order to account for different music tastes and trends in the different markets. BTS actually do a whole lot for their JPN fan base, even now that they’re so big, which must mean JPN’s market is a very stable cash cow. 

However, to international fans at the very least, Japanese and Korean cultures are similar enough that we enjoy their JPN releases almost as much as their Korean releases. Their JPN songs are, in general, slower and more sentimental, but that is something many kpop fans like (kpop is all about ballads, cute songs, and noise music). Furthermore, BTS speak better Japanese than English, love JPN, and write (some of) their JPN singles. 

Expectations about Japanese releases are also different... 

2. English and Japanese songs do not hold the same weight in BTS’s discography and career. 

We’re all okay with a few JPN songs, which are released like clockwork every year. They’re predictable, we have fun listening to them, and get a few extra performances and content out of them (content which is very similar to Korean content). The songs don’t have to be amazing, and our expectations are always met because they’re never very high. Japanese songs are not the main event - the main event has always been the Korean releases. 

Korean and Japanese releases complement each other. Meanwhile English releases have (for now) replaced Korean songs, and they represent a new development in BTS’s career. 

After all, it’s not a JPN song that is ever going to win SOTY at the MAMA’s, or take the #1 spot at BB’s Hot 100 chart. But English songs have done that. And now that we have ENG songs, we haven’t had a Korean release in months. And, THAT, is the main problem, and one of the reasons fans are so upset. Dynamite was, at first, just another “JPN” release, that the fans were happy about. And after it blew up and fans were upset that it got all the accolades other, more deserving, BTS songs never got, BTS released BE. Say what you will about BE, but it was 100% BTS’s work. 

However, a year later we got Butter, and now PTD, and a new pattern is starting to emerge. While JPN releases are predictable, everyone is unsure of what the future of BTS’s music looks like. 

3. Fans don’t like BTS in spite of them being K-Pop. We like BTS because they are K-Pop.

JPN songs fit under the umbrella of K-Pop. English songs are Western songs. They sound very different from kpop, so they are off-putting to many fans who’ve turned away from the American music industry. This obviously isn’t the case with Japanese songs. 

4. BTS themselves haven’t changed but the fandom and their identity has. 

BTS’s identity isn’t just what they’ve created, but how we see and respond to them. We have crafted BTS’s identity alongside them, and that identity has been changing. To many fans, BTS represent the underdog (first in the K-Pop industry, and later on in America). Fans found comfort in knowing a group of boys from Korea could get so big, and that people could accept another language that isn’t English, or even Spanish. BTS showed us that you don’t need America, or to be from a rich country, to succeed internationally. They give hope to people from countries no one takes seriously or knows of. But now they’ve changed. 

BTS have never fought US’s influence and power. They’ve actually exploited it and benefited from it all their careers - they’ve slowly outgrown K-POP, while remaining K-POP. But now they are explicitly catering to the US, shattering fan’s illusions of BTS being living proof that you don’t need the US, and shedding their K-POP label. 

Of course BTS want to be more than K-POP. They want to be as big and be taken as seriously as American artists are. And they love Korea still. But they are undoubtedly losing something of value in the process - their creative freedom for one.

Ironically, BTS don’t want to be stuck in the Kpop box. They want to experiment and do different things, and they seem happy with their new songs - BTS love American music. It’s too bad their fans don’t see it that way. We want them to be huge as well, but we want them to remain K-POP. Fortunately, they have, so far, maintained the core structure of the K-POP industry, although that’s not necessarily a good thing. 

Frankly, BTS have shown everyone that you can make it big in your own country, and that you can compete with the US in some way. They are based in Korea and their image is still very “Korean”. But now they are being, in a way, “assimilated” by the American industry, and distancing themselves from the Korean industry, showing US’s power. US are the best in many fields because they attract the best. US is taking BTS’s power for itself, in a way, and that doesn’t sit well with people.
