I got blocked 🧍
a little addition to the last post/reblog,
I do genuinely understand where contrarians come from calling indie web projects "formulaic" or w/e but that does NOT mean I agree with em
I think theres a valid way to have that argument and opinion! Just, yknow without the subtle homophobic + sexist undertones 😰
Im gonna use TADC as an example here-
A lot of people like to dismiss it as like, cliche food bait for popular tropes but like, do any amount of research into Goose and shes always been like this /pos
Sometimes- people just like making their things funky and weird!/pos
Have you considered that people just like those tropes-?
Another example is Welcome Home- which got SUPER knocked off by some people as just cliche tropes bright colors with edgy horror themes, again,
These creators arent making these things because theyre popular bait or sm shit, they just like this stuff!! Theres so many creators that are finally getting the opportunity, freedom, tools and skills to make what they have in mind! I genuinely believe its just a new generation of creators with like minds growing up and were seeing them rise at the same time :) Im saying this as someone who also doesnt really like mascot horror game tropes </3
im not personally a big fan of superhero tv shows where every episode is mostly the same thing with a different scenario/villain
GUESS WHAT ! IM LITERALLY MAKING A PILOT FOR A VILLAIN/HERO SHOW !
There are aspects of that trope i really like! Things i intend to tinker with but its still so easy to just "gah, another darn superhero show about morality" and i think thats okay :) Theres generally speaking better ways to go abt this stuff but I dont know, im generally a supportive optimist instead of a critic
indie animation community i love youuuu thats all :)
Planning to visit Metropolis? Here's what you need to know:
Metropolis is the shining city of tomorrow, and well worth the visit. You can pick up brochures and newspapers at any street corner, or from one of our many news-kids cycling around!
Navigate around the city following the maps and history on our website! With in-depth guides to all our neighborhoods and their attractions, you'll always find something exciting to do.
In preparation for an emergency, turn on notifications for our City Alert page on Chirper. You can find this page through the red alarm buttons in our website, or through searching for @mtp.alerts online.
Pay no attention to our neighboring city, Gotham. Despite its guise as the perfect summer destination for thrill seekers and clout chasers alike, the mortality rates are high enough that our experts can guarantee you will die out there.
You may have heard influencers like those on Coast City Craniums, famous for their viral quotes: "Everyone is so scared of Gotham, like no one wants to survive anymore, man. Go on, throw me in Gotham. Watch me come out a millionaire," and "anyone who takes the grindset seriously is moving to Gotham." Words like these contribute to the misconception that Gotham is the best tourist city on the East Coast.
Rest in peace, the Coast City Craniums crew. The team at MetTravels extends our sympathies to their families. We will miss you, and hope you reunite in the afterlife with your late friends at Rogues Remember.
In any news, Metropolis is a beautiful city this time of year (and any other time too) and we cannot be more excited to welcome you to the city of tomorrow. Make sure you stop by the MetTravel booths throughout Senneville, Newtown, and the Superman Museum!
really don't get people who think steve would be anything but loving and adoring, and maybe a bit teasing, but never ever mean/mocking/belittling about it, to bucky in any context, like it just doesn't line up with canon steve and i can't put my finger on what about it i find so wrong
people are so like. weirdly entitled when it comes to likes vs reblogs on art. its gotten to the point where any time i see that passive-aggressive "reblogs > likes ❤️" thing it just makes me not interact at all out of spite lmao.
"but why wouldnt you reblog art if you enjoy it???" because sometimes its something suggestive that i dont want on my blog. or sometimes its from a piece of media that im a little embarrassed about liking so i dont put it on my blog. or various other reasons that dont fucking matter because they arent anyones business. like good god you people act like someone shot you bc they didnt reblog. calm down
its the fact that more than half of radfem rhetoric can be debunked in 2 seconds because literally no trans woman who is publicly transgender and “pretends to be a woman” (according to them) has systemic access to male privilege. if you think that the conservative political leaders who are responsible for male privilege will continue to give that to a trans woman after she has transitioned; you are genuinely fucking stupid
hate when nightmares are just obvious about their intention. i just woke up from a dream where my mother said i was dead to her for dropping out of college. there's really nothing to unpack there but i have to wake up sweating and hyperventilating anyway. be more interesting
Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.
"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.
Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.
"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."
