#they're just moods now

[uselessnbee]

something i can't stop thinking about is the fact that Percy Jackson started as a comfort story for Rick's son to show him that his adhd and dyslexia doesn't have to be just a bad thing and the fandom then took Percy and Leo and made them into these stupid idiots that don't even know basic math or "big" words and wouldn't be able to even tie their shoelaces without someone else's (someone smarter's) help

don't yall see how fucked up that is? a big part of this fandom has adhd and/or dyslexia and/or other learning disabilities/neurodivergence and find comfort in those characters. they are called lazy and stupid all the time and then yall decided to take characters with those disabilities and ignore their inteligence and made them into something they are not just because their adhd is more "visible" (read more stereotypical looking) (even tho that's not true either because the fandom made them into chaotic gremlins but in reality Percy is more just sarcastic and snarky and even that is more just his internal monologue for his own amusment and to cope and Leo just uses humor as a coping mechanism to hide his depression and other issues but that's a discussion for another time)

Percy is canonically very smart and strategic. no he isn't very good at school. it's what happens when you're neurodivergent and have learning disabilities. that doesn't mean he's stupid. no he doesn't know everything about greek mythology and that doesn't make him stupid either. but when Annabeth tells him the myth he is very good at coming up with strategies and how to win a fight. he's not smart as Annabeth because Annabeth is literally a daughter of the goddess of wisdom so stop fucking comparing them. are you also going to call Annabeth weak and incapable because she can't control water? no you won't because that's fucking stupid. and Leo. fucking Leo. is literally canonically a mathematic genius and also genius when it comes building stuff. they're both smart. they're not fucking stupid. they know and understand words that are longer than 5 letters. no they do not struggle with basic knowledge. they're not fucking stupid.

and miss me with the "it's just a joke" bullshit

jokes are supposed to be funny

and it's not just a joke for many of you because the number of fanfics where they are written in exactly this way is too fucking high. it's actually surprising to find a fanfic where they are written right

in conclusion: the way this fandom portrays Percy and Leo is reinforcing the harmful misconception that people with adhd and/or other learning disabilities are stupid and i hate it with a burning passion

call me sensitive all you want i'll gladly accept it i will rather be called sensitive for hating that those characters are being treated this way than follow the fandoms harmful idea about them

thank you for coming to my ted talk <3

#i know no one will read this and if someone does they will just tell me that it's not that deep #but i just needed to get it out finally because this thing has been pissing me off for years now #also i'm not saying that they are actually always serious and never do anything goofy #they do #because surprise surprise they're complex characters that have more than one mood and characteristic #but it's not at all at the same level or the same way as their fanon versions #pjo series #pjo #hoo #percy jackson #leo valdez #percy jackon and the olympians #heroes of olympus #but at the end of the day i guess this is just my opinion and you don't have to agree 👍🏻

in regards to the constant dismissal of his aroace identity, i hate it when alastor 'fans' say and use the excuse: "he's fictional, he won't get offended."

like, you're right, but it can and will offend us.

when you see yourself being represented on screen, of course you'd feel enthusiastic about it — representation allows individuals to see themselves reflected in the media they consume, validating their identities and experiences. but when so many people take that representation and decide to disregard and discard it, it is so fucking frustrating. we finally have another character to be part of the tiny amount of representation we have, but then people don't even care about how much it means to us? like yeah, alastor won't get offended because he's not real, but it frustrates and annoys us. do you realize that it's also technically invalidating the aroace community? that you're invalidating our feelings? imagine feeling like you're finally being seen because your orientation is finally being represented in media, and people just decide to blatantly ignore, discard, and invalidate it.

media has such a powerful influence on real life, representation being a prevalent factor of it. there are numerous posts that dictate how people went to watch a movie/show or read a book just because a character depicts their identity in it — obviously, being represented is an incredibly uplifting and validating experience.

which is why seeing an aroace character in a popular show is so meaningful to us because we live in a world where romance and sex are literally everywhere and prioritized above all else. (and it's pretty obvious that alastor's on the repulsed end of the spectrum, but even if he wasn't, at least make an effort to acknowledge his sexuality instead of continuing to portray him as allo; aroace folks can be in relationships but it's not going to be the same thing with allos' experiences.)

any and every representation matters, but why does that seem to stop at people under the aroace spectrum? like y'all can't even let us appreciate the scraps of representation we have. we barely have any, so are we really that dramatic for being upset at how people easily disregard and dismiss our identities that are being depicted on screen just like that? is it truly wrong of us to want to defend and maintain the little representation we have?

#like imagine if i asked you ab your fav character and then i said i hated them and proceeded to insult them #wouldn't that irritate you even just a bit and maybe even come to their defense? #like why would you be offended when they're not even real lmaoo #they're fictional and won't get offended but if you love that character then YOU might feel offended and maybe even defend them #ok now take that situation and put it into this context #except it's much more meaningful bc it's about representation #just a random thought #i'm not against shipping him or finding him attractive (bc same LMAO) or the fanart btw #i just hate it when people use bs excuses to justify their obvious dismissal & indifference towards aro/ace rep #like at least acknowledge his identity :(( #sorry for the long ass rant and if some parts don't make sense i'm not in the best mood rn lol #and i've been wanting to get this off my chest for a while #didn't know double standards were a thing when it came to representation.... #but here we are #alastor #aroace alastor #aroace #asexual #aromantic #asexuality #aromanticism #arospec #aspec #alastor hazbin hotel #aromantic alastor #asexual alastor #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #aroacespec #queer

Before and after pictures of my biohazard bathroom. So y'all can see this particular Horror I've been dealing with lately.

#life of sponty #mold #mould #unsanitary #unhygienic #but yeah it's been hell #only thing left to do now is replace the moldy broken sealant on the bath and sink #which for the record has such nasty gunk in it that I've not been able to take baths in months #because the last two times i tried i got bacterial infections #needed antibiotics and everything #and given i adore baths and they're one of my major self care / mood improvement things #has not helped anything #also i have had a chronic cough from the mold for months now #just really not ideal #but i had a burst of actual executive function that allowed me to finally wrestle the landlords about it #so that's what ive been dealing with last couple weeks

fave spones fic written in 1988 you say 👀 do you have a link to share? i'm obsessed with old spones fic and how the interpretation of this ship and their relationship changed with time!

oh, yes! It's primarily mirror!spones actually, but the atmosphere is very different from mirror fics written these days

It's called Through A Glass, Darkly and you can find it here (based on the author's wishes I'm linking to the list rather than to the fic itself) - there are four stories in the series (I think it's like 65k or more in total), the second one-shot is from the Prime universe. What I find nice about this fic is that they already use the name Nyota for Uhura, so it doesn't even feel dated in that regard. It also has great worldbuilding regarding the Vulcans and Spock's family. As for warnings... there's nothing actually explicitly dark or explicitly non-consensual, but it's been a while since I read it, so proceed with caution; oh yeah, and it deals with pon farr (the last part - but the previous parts are leading toward it - Spock found a mind match in McCoy). Also, McCoy gets friendly with a Vulcan child - the last fic takes place mostly on Vulcan.

Another spones story from them I like is A Man of Integrity, which is mirror!Spock/McCoy Prime - the usual, McCoy got left behind. Well, "usual", it could be one of the first ones written.

I think Yesterday is based on All Our Yesterdays, which also includes spones, but also Spock/Zarabeth/McCoy (I think), but there's also Spock having a bond with Kirk (who isn't there ofc) which is a pet peeve of mine, so I haven't read this one.

and since I'm sharing links, there's also this site with McCoy/Spock fics I enjoy, but these were written in early 2000s (possibly late 90s, I can't be sure). My faves are Teshuvah, The Secrets of Pine Cones, Spock of Baker Street, and Nosferatu in Space, but most of them are worth the read. These are just the longer ones.

#replies #fic rec #spones #i like older fics because they're closer to my personal interpretation but they can also be a bit dated #ETA: now I have an urge to go and reread all of these and then some others.... #i mean it could get me back into spones fics writing mood so maybe i should just do that

Stop im rewatching why dan is leaving me bc of ur post theyre so disgustingly domestic i adore them

sometimes i watch that video just to feel something

#you are so valid for that anon #theres something about the energy of that video that really gets to me #theyre filming cause its promo and its good clickbait and its silly and fun and Them #but its also For Them yknow?? theyre like we're gonna talk about how we're gonna be apart for the longest time since we've known each other #AFTER 13 years of knowing each other #just even framing it like that really is wild. but its exactly what happens. and they're both on the same page of yeah its a long time. #which. it isnt That Long but it IS for them yknow! #the silly intro phil does in front of Dan's closet. and it starts with dan going oi if you're crying about me it better be a long video! #its goofy and ridiculous. theyre in this bouncy happy uncertain mood. because theres gotta be some adrenaline with it but also appreciating #each other while theyre still there together. then its the complete lack of intro to dan bc come on now its dan you know him. obviously. #& then its the 'sphere' convo and im like bitch. he wants to touch you cause youre leaving!!! let him!! #then dans genuine shock at the swear like mans is down BAD. and then the teasing! the so real plant teasing. but also general life concern #the heart cactus makes me feel some type of way okay #the sheer domesticity of the stair convo and the ps4 struggle #and how phil turns it right back on dan with the selfie incident and dan is bashful about it. #and how phil just. gets to say that dan cant shower in the bus. bc it freaks him out. & ofc dan wont stress him like that. #(also the closet rifling. something dan's 'nice to know you do. in a dark drawer somewhere' vs the lacey shirt being lacey underwear idea) #the bathroom being very clearly a shared space. #goddd theyre sooo smiley and soft and i Cant #dnp #c.text #dan and phil

Imagine if Mango becomes a father figure to Dark and then learns about what they did.

THAT'D BE SO FUCKED UP TBH. assuming this is still king merc but. i feel like he'd just kind of stop talking to them out of nowhere and suddenly start avoiding crossing paths with them much to Dark's dismay... Dark doesn't even get anything on why if they weren't there when King found out...

i mean. then again he probably found out through Chosen's memories. which I'm sure is only worse for everyone involved....... and they'd see the horrified look King gives them, and suddenly they'd feel some weird sense of almost shame, which is weird because they never care about being good enough, they've always been free to do whatever they want without feeling like they had to be good enough for someone (except for when they were trying to impress their older sibling-- they had worked so hard on the virabots and Chosen just got MAD-- they were certain they did nothing to deserve it but the more time passes the more they start to doubt it...)

#dark's already kind of feeling kind of shitty at that point i feel like. because they just watched their sibling get beat up and tortured #and now the only person who's even marginally tried to be a support has just kind of shut themself away from dark #and victim is angry with them and chosen is hurt and SC is judging them this entire time-- if they had to guess probably pitying them-- #and if their injuries had worn off by now they could just take it out on other people but i think SC had a permanent effect on them #so they're just frustrated with their inability to do anything and they're frustrated with how much it hurts #if anyone tried to talk to them they'd probably just get snarled at because dark is NOT in the mood #tommy's stickmen tag

Sometimes it just be like that.

(Don't take this too seriously lol)

#idk when I see other people ship with the characters I also love I'm like 'yes go for it!! they can get so much love from all of us!!!' #but with canon characters I'm like 'back off they're mine' #it's not with the same intensity for every character and also depends on my mood sometimes #like on sometimes I'm even a little happy for them that they have someone to love in their official story #but sometimes it just makes me feel genuinly awful because I feel like I'm not doing them justice compared to their canon/fanon partner :( #apparently I can get jealous of fictional characters about other fictional characters; embarrassing I know #anyone else get that? #self ship #self shipping #self ship meme #self ship memes #f/o #f/o thoughts #anyways @ Charlene and Margaret: your husbands are mine now <3 #selniasoriginal

Anyone else concerned about the new movie ? Like. The amount of everything the franchise has been doing recently and knowing how what they write tend to have lots of issues,,, I dunno man. I understand the hype behind it but the moment I heard about it I felt genuinely so fucking anxious I do Not have high hopes for this movie

#also how kindlybeast has been recreating the story of jds slowly #they made a game about workplace abuse and then. Guess what happened in their company !! #cough cough Mike Mood cough #and now they're expanding and doing Lots of ambitious things #reminds me of a certain Joey Drew #who had too many wild ideas #and then the company went bankrupt and bendyland was abandoned #I'm just saying . I'm just saying I'm sensing patterns here #batim #batdr #bendy and the ink machine #bendy and the dark revival #kindlybeast #bendy movie #joey drew studios #sigh .
