The fact that I'm scared to post something because it even so much as mentions the Delanceys

It's terrifying and ridiculous and I hate it

I hate that this fandom has gone from the most welcoming fandom I've ever seen to toxicity and telling people who they can and can't like and how they can or can't write them.

If you don't want to write them that way, that's fine. If you want to write them that way, that is also fine. If you want them to be 2d villains with no depth, that's fine. If you want to give depth that's deeper than the Mariana Trench, that's fine. If you want to make them stick to the personality given, that's fine. If you want to completely upend it and give them new personalities, that is also fine.

What isn't fine, is dictating how other people write. How other people enjoy their favorite characters from their favorite shows. Which characters people can or can't like.

And doing it in the rb of children's posts?!

Y'all

That is not okay. And if you have the mindset that nobody can like certain characters, then you ought to get the hell off my blog.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Villains are fascinating characters. I love finding out why they do what they do.

Giving a villain depth doesn't necessarily mean that I'm erasing what they do. I know that they didn't have to continue the cycle of abuse. I know that they didn't have to join the system that destroyed them. I know.

But, they did. And the finding out why? That is my favorite part.

Why did they join them?

And, if you have a problem with me exploring that question, you can just hop on over to someone else's blog.

No hard feelings, no harm done.

I don't want to be afraid of what my friends are going to think or say when I post something. I don't want fights or conflicts in my notifs.

I just want us to have fun talking about dumb little tapping queer-coded newsboys.

Y'all please just let everyone have fun writing what makes them happy.

If it doesn't make you happy, just scroll past it.

Please

Sparky when will you write apart of the fic

Listen. I like you guys being excited for new chapters and I'm really sorry when I don't actually get something written, believe me. But please remember that I have a life. I have a full-time job and a child, and I am writing this story for free. I spend basically all of my free time writing. The chapter will be up when it's done, whenever that may be. The Saturday deadline is self-imposed, not required.

Messages like this put a lot of undue stress on me, because, believe it or not, I really don't like disappointing you guys. I'm sure you have good intentions when you send stuff like this, but my anxious brain goes "oh no, they're mad that I don't have anything done, now they're gonna hate me."

If you want to say something like "how's the new chapter going?" That's fine. But when you say "when will you write something?" it comes across as kinda rude. Which is probably not your intention.

Anyway... I'm working on it. Please be patient with me.

#sparky rants #i hope this isn't an overreaction lol #but these messages do stress me out #i put a lot of pressure on myself to get stuff done #and asks like these make my brain go “see?! they're mad you aren't posting!” #idk man #sorry anon #I'm just paranoid probably

I finally decided to look up some stuff because i always feel weird and i guess wrong for being energetic and happy at night and on rainy days because people say its not normal

Apparently it can be a genetic thing

Also i liked one line about “forcing a nocturnal creature into a diurnal cycle will kill it sooner or later” because i guess it gives me some sort of validation that this is okay for me and trying to ‘fix’ myself would be detrimental instead

Staying up and being energetic at night is typically described as a ‘circadian rhythm disorder’ which im just assuming is any sort of deviation from normal diurnal behavior including things like insomnia

Also apparently for the rain thing its called being a ‘pluviophile’ which sounded kinda scary cuz of what the word ‘phile’ is usually associated with but remember that phile is just the opposite of phobia; it justs means you like something rather than fear it (like that time in science with hydrophobic and hydrophilic things in cells)

And this paragraph from an article “Sensitive pluviophiles are people who are deeply affected by the weather. They can be happy or sad depending on whether it's raining. For them, rain is a very emotional experience. They might find themselves feeling nostalgic or reflective when it rains.” I think applies to me most because im just so happy and relieved and calm when it rains

Its a little silly but i kinda worship the stars as like a higher being i guess, and have a lot of personal beliefs about it even if its not a real ‘religion’. Mentioning this because whenever i see rain clouds rolling in or wake up to ‘gloomy’ weather i stop to thank the stars for giving me rain for a day thats how happy i get

So my little jokes about being nocturnal? Thats true. Im unironically calling myself a nocturnal human now

If you dont like it just go to sleep and let ME enjoy the moon and the stars and the peacefulness of night

Oh boy do I have opinions tonight. Wish I didn’t see that post made by a literal teenager. People were listening to a teenager that failed at reading comprehension as usual and were putting words into someone’s mouth while they were at it. I don’t wanna say much more because someone’s definitely gonna give me hate for it but jfc y’all seriously need to go out and touch some grass instead of bothering celebrities online as if their opinions will change anything with the very thing you are complaining to them about.

hey do you think like its possible for someone to have dormant gene?? like their grand grand parent had smth but their dad didnt??

*intense flashbacks to last semester’s bio lectures*

So, it's possible for someone to carry a dormant or recessive gene that may not manifest in their parents but gets passed down through generations. Genes can skip generations, and individuals may inherit recessive traits from grandparents or even further back in their family tree without those traits being expressed in their parents.

(Long ass bio answer below if you want lmao)

Genotypes represent the genetic makeup of an individual, while phenotypes are the observable traits resulting from that genetic makeup, and because genes can be dominant or recessive, say eye colour.

Gene B is brown eyes (dominant) and b is blue (recessive) and each person has two copies of the gene, 1 from each parent.

So the genotypes are BB (brown) Bb (also brown, but you have an unexpressed blue eye gene) or bb (blue)

If your grandpa had blue eyes, bb, and your dad received a (b) gene from him but a (B) gene from his mom, he’d have Bb which is expressed in a brown phenotype.

But say your mom also has Bb brown eyes, then (see the horrible chart i made from class)

The circles are the genes, the base colours are the actual eye colours btw.

Then the genes will mix like this in possible combinations genotypes/phenotype for what their kids will express (each is 25% possible)

Then they could have a kid with blue eyes, like the grandparent, but unlike their parents if that makes sense?

The sad downfall of Atomic Betty

I have beef with Season 3. If you're wondering "Why Tara? Atomic Betty was a perfect show start to end!" Well my mates.... two words. Mission. Earth.

Atomic Betty seasons 1 to 2 were perfect for the most part with memorable characters, smart written jokes, plots that can be interesting and etc.

Mission Earth has NONE OF THAT! Or barely any to say the most. They flanderized characters like Betty, Penelope,Sparky, X-5 and DEFINITELY NOAH. Despite that, Chaz and Regeena are good or alr characters to say the most.(but wtf does Chaz give old emo smoker vibes-)

And if you're wondering,yes, not all of season 2 and 1 was perfect, there were a bit of flops but it was still exceptional while Season 3/Mission Earth wasn't! There was only a few good episodes like No Space Like Home, Bold Age, Love Bites, Fairytale Fate, Bootcamp Betty, The Manchurian Guardian and there was even one episode in this season that was a guilty pleasure of mine,Girl Power. But still, a third of the top ten worst episodes are full of this season.

Episodes like April Fools Overture, A Finfull Of Dollars,Who's The Baby Now? ,It Came From Hollywood and ESPECIALLY A HARD DAYS FIGHT are absolutely insufferable. Not only this but, the jokes are just.... UNFUNNY... most of them are just grossout jokes or one off catchphrases, this was very rare in 1 and 2. Only a few jokes made me laugh in Season 3 but even then it was only occasionally.

What's sad about this is that the first episode of this season was great because it had the charm of the first 2 seasons and (sadly)the last relevant appearances of The Chameleon, Paloma and Juanita(The Chameleon is the 2nd best fucking villain behind Maximus and Minimus,change my mind,while Paloma is my favourite character overall). No Space Like Home was great but sadly the short partned with it along with the next episode was shit.

Speaking of shorts most of them were ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. The good ones where the love triangle one, the one where X-5 is a chair and the last two Sparky and Minimus:Undercover thing. The short with NSLH, Sparky and X-5: Prank'd was just B A D like the idea of X-5 pranking Sparky would of been good but the execution was terrible like if I rewrote this episode(which I will) then it would of been awesome but no, like the prank here is NO WAY in character for both X-5 and Sparky like it would been better if they make an adult adaptation of AB this would of been great but here NOPE! At least do the thing TD did where they just censored it but oh well.

The shorts should of been an aftermath of the episode (Like Total Drama Island- Total Drama World Tour) just to make it better - Or even a POV of one of the characters! But fuck it's been god long,AB's cancelled ,Atomic Cartoons fells of like what else do they have now other than Hilda? And mostly everyone who worked on Atomic Betty moved on.

Ive been pissed for almost 2 decades at the lack of merch of the other cousins from lilo and stitch. Like i love sparky more than stitch why cant i get a big sparky plush, a pin or a figurine? The world is a horrible place because we never got a cousins plush line. Also why are you ignoring the other cute cousins build a bear??? I've been done with all the different color stitch plushies... Where is our new stitch cartoon? Ugh

i hate when people in tv shows and movies say stuff like "we've gotta get you better FOR GOOD this time" and the character they're speaking to has only been a couple months clean from addiction. like???? addiction recovery is a long and very very difficult process, relapse is entirely normal. it should absolutely be treated but putting someone down for relapsing only makes it worse 💀

#stfu sparky #rant #cw addiction #addiction cw #relapse mention #i PROMISE it isnt the end of the road for someone if they relapse during recovery #shit happens and if someone relapses you should help them not make them feel worse #sorry ik its stupid to be agitation over fictional characters but ARGHHH as someone who's helped numerous friends with addictions and been #thru similar things it irks me a lot 💀

Hey besties

Is it alright if I kinda rant to ya’s about what the Uberbots and P03 content was like back in my day? Specifically about this particular au my friend did of them. 

Well I’m going to do it anyway so sit down and enjoy a story from your old man./lh/hj

 Okay, so they made this au of the uberbots and P03 being a DID system (dissociative identity disorder) called the system!p03 au. I requested this au a lot because I really liked it and I found it really comforting. I’m going to be writing the names the way they did, so if you have a different name for them don’t yell at me.  

P03/Poe was the system host. The one who took charge in the system and fronted the most. He was responsible for keeping the system stable while leading the system altars, with some help from the gate keeper on occasion. P03′s personality was still the one we know and love now. A smug asshole but if you got close enough to him, it would mostly just turn insults into playful banter. 

Archivist/Ark was the system gate keeper. She made sure that every altar in the system was stable and was one of the more leading figures in the system besides P03. She had more of an older sister role in the system than anything. In terms of personality, she was actually quite flirtatious with everyone she met. Whether her relationship with someone was romantic or platonic, she would playfully flirt with them unless they tell her not to.  

The Photographer/Lee was an emotional holder in the system. It held anger as its designated emotion, this is so the rest of the system isn’t effected by that specific emotion as much. Lee hated the fact that it held anger in the system and used activities such as gardening to help sooth it. The other emotional holder was always a calming influence on Lee in the headspace and they both spent a lot of time in silence, just enjoying each others company.

The Unfinished Boss/Vellum was the other emotional holder. Vel’s emotion was anxiety, and it haunted Vel to no end. The troubling discovery of the OLD_DATA and other anxieties weighed down on Vel, and this made it hard for the bot to navigate Vel’s way through Vel’s troublesome thoughts and fears. Vel did like to draw though, as well as make collages out of (mostly) Lee’s photos.  

G0lly is the former system host, now co-host. She does basically what the host does but only if the host can’t do their regular duties at that moment cause you know, stuff happens and there’s not much you can do about it. She’s still the excited G0lly we all know and love, but underneath that happy facade is someone who’s just worn out to bone, still processing her emotions from being removed as the host. 

In terms of all of this, like we do now with the giant bot war where we have a different status with each bot, same thing here except it was partially the system as a whole. My relationship in status with the system in the system!p03 au was in fact a romantic one, and I still think of it as such even though my friend can’t really write about it anymore. 

   The way relationships, namely romantic, work with systems is that if you are dating the system as a whole then the altars will all consider you their partner. However, if you are dating a singular altar, then the others will not see you as their partner, but more so a friend or whatever relationship you have with them.  

I definitely miss the way things were, and I really wish I could just go back to May of 2022, where things honestly were at their best. But that also means that I wouldn’t have met you two, so I’m fine with being where I am. Everything changes after all, and I’m happy to continue forward to see what changes happen in the fandom.

god I really have felt different than everyone my whole life. I feel like I'll never have a best friend or partner again, and I dont even know if I want those things, but I'm supposed to want them. more than anything? everytime I think I have it, something gets fucked up (usually my boundaries ayo)

I think I'm chosing bad people. not to say the problem couldn't be my fault, but I don't think this is one of the (multiple) areas in my life I'm fucking up in. I communicate well, if not a little brazenly. Honesty and straight-forwardness don't seem like too high of standards to hold my friends to. I can't stand passive aggression. Tell me what you feel so I can help or give you space. Conflict is productive. Anger is useful. Don't be a dick and tell your loved ones what you need. They want to help. I want to help!

💌 for a snippet of a conversation we've had

*⚡⚡⚡*

Me, stopping in the middle: "Did anybody stop to think that maybe Harry got so many headaches because of a NON-Voldemort-related issue?"

Shinsou, looking up from his book: "...huh?"

Me: "Like, Voldemort is ALWAYS up to no good, dude, he's fucking VOLDEMORT. More likely answer - Harry has a history of chronic migraines due to the fact that he got HEAD TRAUMA when he was literally a year old."

Shinsou: "Sparky, what are you talking about?"

Me: "Being a wizard does not make you immune to health issues! I have migraines because I'm concussed, so it's logical that Harry Potter has a similar problem!"

Having to undo all the Content Optimization Education the internet keeps shoving through your eyeballs isn't easy

Like it really wants you to THINK about BRANDING and CALL TO ACTION and RETENTION and GROWTH even when you're "just a little guy"

No wonder I didn't wanna be perceived. Cause playing by the rules would be fake and inauthentic... Cause I recognize the tutorials everybody watched and applying it without amy thought. (Looking at you thumbnail faces)

So I'm trying to use the internet with reckless abandon and just comment and unleash drafts and spam and archive everything I've ever come up with.

Do I shamelessly seek validation and attention? Yes. It would be very nice. But not if I have to "game the system".

I'm gonna do it by showing you the proverbial Fridge With Art Slapped On It.

(Which isn't easy to do with sound mind you.)

Anyway just a little rant to start the day with
