I hate how fandom has become "if you haven't created anything in this very specific time frame after the release of the show/movie, everyone will have moved on"

And call me old fashioned, but that's just not me. I sometimes take ages to create and publish. And I will love a show or movie for such a long time (years, babes, years) that I just can't relate to the fast consumerism that's going on.

Because, let's be real, it can get really lonely in a fandom if most have simply moved on to the next shiny thing. Is what's created less worth, just because it was created outside the hype? Why is it such a taboo for this new fandom generation to love an old or "late" fic or art?

It's so tiring and I'm too old for the 30-seconds-hype-tiktok-shit. Just tired. So, so tired.

#semi rant #cry into the void #and no i'm not shaming young ppl in general #it's this new wave of people entering fandom which can happen at any age lbr #and I don't understand them nor do I want to atp #if you're wondering why you can't rb anymore: I switched it off bcuz people can't fucking read and piss me off with their dumb additions

Hello there, dear @itsokaytomakemosstakes!

I was your assigned gift maker for the @dcmk-exchange event!

Ever since you shared your lovely mugs with me, the thought that Ran would get them as a matching kitty set for herself and Conan, wouldn't leave me alone. So I decided to embrace the idea; for both the headcanon and the personal touch.

Originally I planned something more silly, but the soothing vibes of my first sketch were just so lovely, I went with this instead (especially since I thought you might appreciate a bit of peace).

I hope you'll like this, and I really have enjoyed chatting with you, Moss!

Okay new character???

I'm going to be honest and say I was very much like "EXUSE ME?! WHAT?!?" Because who wouldn't when seeing that without knowing it meant age play T-T (Dude age plays my age XD) His bio saying he is scared of getting older hits so close to home. I didn't get a childhood, had to grow up like an adult and missed out on a lot of things so seeing a character also have that fear is pretty cool.

Anyway, sorry for the seriousness. His design is cute and I love his outfit(Him and Dantalian have this uniform athletic that I love) UwU

help i’ve fallen for another ship comprised of two insane autistic queers that want each other dead despite also being willing to do literally anything for the other even at risk to themselves

#nygmobblepot #i literally never gave a shit about the penguin and the riddler #but the moment my brother makes me watch a show where they are portrayed by theatre nerds who care about the characters #i become obsessed instantly #i would watch the show out of the corner of my eye while my brother and dad were watching it and see oswald and id just think #that little weirdo is the only thing that makes me like this show its so fun when hes on screen #then ed starts showing up more and i start to love his autistic ramblings and general energy #then ed kills a guy and i think fuck i love this show so much #then i see them interact and find out that they are semi canon??? #like oswald is canonically in love with ed but the show seems to want you to think that ed just doesn’t reciprocate #but he obviously does and just doesn’t realize at the beginning because he thinks hes straight #but by the end that man is NOT hiding how much he loves oswald #like what the fuck was that hallucination scene if not his concince trying to make him realize how much he loves oswald #and there scene in the last episode in the car??? #like that man has finally accepted that hes in love and is finally ready to act on it #anyways rant over they are just like hannigram and danbert and i will never change my mind #also their actors fucking killed in their rolls i love them #and fun fact: edward was cory michal smith’s first role outside of theatre and it fucking shows in the best ways #him being a mostly theatre person just adds so much to edward and makes him just so enjoyable to watch #now the rant is actually over #gotham #gotham tv

This voting period really just feels like im watching a bunch of people force a gay man back in the closet

I know thats not people's intentions but literally how else is he going to take this guilty vote. "I just don't want him to think his lying was okay" he doesn't! And he's not going to think that! He's actively trying to stop lying! All guiltying him will do is tell him he should have kept lying and continuing his relationship!!

"I just want him to have some kind of consequence for what he's done" Was Hinako literally dying not enough??? Sure, he didn't love her, but he still LIKED her. They were friends, they lived together, he married her because he WANTED to love her! He is literally drowning in guilt because of her death, I think he's had enough consequences by now. He might not be wearing his ring anymore, but he still carries it with him, he is very clearly still grieving her death.

"Innocent votes have no effect on him" Yes they will!! It didn't do anything last time because we forgave him for the wrong reasons and because he absolutely hates himself. Assuming we're right about him being gay, which I'm pretty confident we are, having his 'true' self validated rather than his fake one will 100% have a bigger effect on him this time. Guiltying him will only make his self-hate worse and show him that only his false self is forgivable, so he should keep lying to be accepted.

I know most people's intentions are not to make him keep lying, but regardless of whatever intention you have, it doesn't matter how you want him to take it, you can not ignore how he will actually take it.

#milgram #kazui mukuhara #this was just meant to be a mini-rant but it turned semi serious so im maintagging :< #ik im just shouting into the void at this point but watching his vote go down is stressing me out;; #as always feel free to tell me im wrong ♡ i would love to talk to someone who wants to guilty him #ive seen a few ppl mention the album art as a reason to guilty him as well #i dont have too much to say on that but milgram also pushed us to forgive kotoko and look how that went #just because they're potentially trying to push us to guilty him doesn't mean thats the 'correct' option

All jokes about "It's perfectly fine for a fictional character to beat the shit out of a random teen" aside, why the fuck have I GENUINELY seen people claim Wu deserved to have been punched in the face by Faith. YES, he lied, which was fucked up, but that is a grown adult woman about to punch the shit out of a young teenager, if anything she should be more annoyed at the four "older teenagers" who never thought to intervene for... some reason. They just let him lie until he was caught bullshitting... like yeah it probably taught him lying gets you nowhere but also DAWG COME ON

#sry for this semi-heated rant #i know i joke like 'oh yea i love when cinder beats kids into the pavement' but like im just joking yo ... #i actually Dont think its justified for a grown adult to beat the shit out of a random teenager !!! #i dont think faith should punch the shit out of wu #and i dont actually think cinder shouldve done an absolute VIOLATION to arin and wyldfyre yo TOT #ninjago #raine's rambles #wu ninjago #ninjago wu #faith ninjago #ninjago faith

[yusuke-of-valla]

The thing about mean rivals is that like there's kinda a reason we stop having them the second the plots started getting world-ending in scope and that's because you do not have time to deal with some whiny asshole who you've beaten over and over again's shit when a space chinchilla is about to suffocate everyone in the region

Like if they're a dick to you the entire way through they quickly become all bark and no bite because narratively they're going to keep losing to you, and again progressively destroying the ego of a small child is second to whatever this year's eldritch abomination is (and if they went so far as to help the eldritch abomination it raises questions about why they're friendly enough to battle you in the post game).

So like. It's simpler if they're just nice? And have arcs where the fact that they keep losing to you is the point? Your rival isn't the final boss anymore you don't have to build up to finally being able to defeat them for good (except not really) (I guess Hau in USUM arguably but LBR the final boss is Ultra Necrozma)

Like I guess I get annoyed when people don't acknowledge there's a point to how the rivals have been handled since gen 3. You don't have to like it per se but there's a reason the rivals are like this and it's not just the devs don't want to upset little kids.

The fact that the adults care about your safety on the other hand...

#I'd have to go play through it properly but like. the plot of Gen I is really weak and for narrative sake I think we should not be holding #ourselves to its tropes #(i don't say this to be disparaging to Gen I I respect those games so much #I mostly say it to like make a point) #also like the rivals didn't start exclusively choosing the Pokémon weaker than you until the one stronger than you showed up elsewhere #what's more intimidating Kukui and Leon having the stronger starter or the weaker one? #meanwhile Hop and Nemona are like. explicitly going easy on you. Nemona was about to waste you with her champion level team like a Pokémon #player stumbling across a bug catcher they missed while having god in their party #yeah of course when clavell points that out she chooses the weaker starter #Hop also has two Pokémon on you and is not ready for you to be as good as you are that's why he takes losing so hard later #he's being cocky #ANYWAY THIS HAS BEEN YOUR SEMI MONTHLY ALTO RANT ABOUT CERTAIN POKÉMON FANS #Pokemon

Ik a lot of people find it weird that MM!Donnie wasn’t super tech smart in the movie and was more just nerdy (which is fair, it did seem kinda weird) but I have two arguments for that.

One, they were trying to make the turtles act more like actual teens and I know a lot more teenagers that like anime and kpop than ones that like to build super high tech inventions.

Two, I feel like it might be similar to Rise in a way with how the characters sort of have to grow into their roles a bit (like Leo becoming leader) so I think eventually he’ll start being a lot more tech savvy and stuff.

He’ll figure it out and join all the other Donnies as sleep deprived evil geniuses eventually /hj

#hopefully this makes sense haha #do my rants and semi rants make sense to anyone else cause I can’t tell #anyways yeah I love that they made him super nerdy he’s just like me fr #tmnt #mutant mayhem #mutant mayhem spoilers #(not really tho)

I am too dumb for the asoiaf tumblr fandom and I am too level-headed for the asoiaf reddit fandom, where do I go?

#let’s make a separate site for the semi-casual enjoyers #the discourse here is sometimes so well researched & so well written #that ur jaw is on the floor #people out here writing books on greenseer sansa & jon losing an eye & bran Norse mythology parallels & arya royal diplomat foreshadowing #and I am sitting here w so maybe sansa thinks a lot #it’s giving oh men get on acid & discover empathy while women have had metaphysical realisations at age 12 #people out here doing deferential calculus & I am saying 2*5 = 10 lol #but that’s still better than reddits 1+1 = green tomatoes #man ok #rant over

I personally hate the idea that I need to be "clean" in order to do magic.

Like, sure, physically I like to take a shower if I feel icky but I rarely "cleanse" myself before doing a spell. I have read so many times over people saying you need to cleanse yourself before casting a spell but like!! you don't!!!

If you want to then that's a-ok but to any beginner witches out there: if you see someone saying that you need to cleanse your body before doing a spell then please know that is their personal preference and experience! You don't have to!

Get comfortable with dirt under your nails and dust on your shelves! Shit happens!!!

just an insane mix of media, so sorry

( a long rant about my no phoenix pov DD/SOJ au below)

(DD/SOJ spoilers of course)

ok, so my biggest issue with DD/SOJ is that it would be better (in my opinion) if phoenix weren't a pov character. i liked aa4 because we didn't see the inner workings of phoenix for most of the game, and it felt nice because we're not phoenix. his arc was complete. the only cases i think work with phoenix's pov are the DLC cases. but we can easily make the games work with only apollo and athena as the pov characters, and having phoenix as co council and as athena's weird little girl.

DD is mostly athena and apollo's pov, just change the first case and last cases to make phoenix co council and not butt in and make him lead attorney. add him consoling athena at the beginning and her recovering and getting back into the case. we can get a fun dynamic between apollo/athena and edgeworth, see what they're like in court as a team.

SOJ is definitely going to be much more different. apollo is going to khura'in instead of nick. it can still be cryptic until case 3 on why he knows so much about khura'in, but it can also be chalked up to him doing research about the country before traveling. he can see maya by nick hearing about the trip and telling him to say "hi" to her while he's there, and we can see what the dynamic between him and maya is. case 2 can have trucy still be maya'd, but since nick is here, athena can ask to defend trucy as a way of showing her commitment to the agency and nick's trust to athena. we can see like what nick is like not in charge. case 4 is perfect and needs no changes

idk i'm rubber ducking rn, if y'all got any thoughts i'd like to hear it ^^

First of MANY Camp Green Hill Doodles. Camp Green Hill is my silly summer camp AU, and since I've been on a 06 kick lately, lots of silliness with that case running through my brian. Context and explanations under the cut <3

Alright! Camp Green Hill takes place at its namesake. It’s a pretty nice, isolated place in the middle of nowhere, and a safe haven for Mobians with or without ‘supernatural abilities’. Sonic is a permanent resident and under the care of Ranger (“Uncle”) Chuck, who is currently in charge of the camp. Onto the doodle explanations:

“Sonic the Hedgehog”: Just a little doodle of our resident hedgehog. He’s well known both around camp and around town for being bright, full of energy, and very competitive. He possesses a super speed ability and loves to let it show.

Sonic and Tails: Sonic and his little brother, Tails were found in the woods around the camp around 10 years ago. Their origins are pretty much unknown, and neither of them say anything about their old homes. It came to light that Sonic kidnapped Tails after keeping an eye on the toddler and noticing he was severely neglected by his community. Sonic’s origins remain unknown. Uncle Chuck speculates he also came from a neglectful family, which is why he took Tails and ran. 

Drowning: Sonic cannot swim. Despite this, he hangs around water frequently, especially when pissed off or upset. This has resulted in many near drownings. 

Uncle Chuck: Artists rendition of how Uncle Chuck became an uncle. Sonic just kind of wandered into the camp, decided he liked it and its weird owner (Chuck), and declared him their uncle.

Sonic Enjoys Rock Climbing: It's one of his favorite camp sports! He’s gotten pretty damn good, but for the sake of setting a good example, will make use of the safety equipment.

A Completely Normal Cat: A completely normal cat with a completely normal vibe who cannot talk, I promise. Just kidding, that's resident half god Mephiles! They prefer to take on the form of a cat most of the time, mostly to not throw other campers off. And yes, they are in fact, a camper. It's a long story. If you want to know more. My ask box is open ;) 

Friendship Bracelets: Silver is buddies with Mephiles, but neither of them have been properly socialized. He and Blaze have matching friendship bracelets, so he made Mephiles one too. They wear it as a collar, since cat wrists aren’t the best for jewelry. 

Lawn Chair: There's a little filler ‘episode’ where Silver, Sonic, Blaze, and Shadow all go to a waterpark outside of town, and Silver enlists the help of Meph to get them in, since they know a certain illusionist jackal who could help them out. They pretend to be Shadow’s older sibling to get them in, and hang out with Blaze far away from the splash zone. 

They/Them Icon: Just a doodle of Meph I did to fill space lol.

Blaze and Silver: They have a long, complicated friendship. She appeared to him when he was younger shortly after losing his whole family to a catastrophic apartment fire. She’s a secret friend from another dimension, and his only real friend. Little does he know, Blaze was the one who accidentally started the flame, and now feels bad for orphaning him. She grapples with the guilt a lot. Meph was messing around in the future during the off season and accidentally befriended the two, which was their ticket to the past at the camp.

Also, Silver visits Blaze’s dimension frequently! Once he’s comfortable around people, he’s full of spunk, and loves a good adventure. He’s not as innocent and shy as he paints himself to be, not even by a lot. He’s still nervous around Mephiles though, given the whole ‘god’ thing.
