#this was fun to decompress

[thyfggfy]

I had contemplated doing this post for awhile , because quite frankly I wasn't sure what I was trying to accomplish and even now I am not sure what my goal is. I just know that I don't want to scream into the void . I want to be heard.

Some of you might be aware of one of the most recent tw confession blogs . In one of their more recent posts a very interesting discussion occurred.

One of my mutuals pointed out a collection of fics that are labelled as "101 ways to kill Scott McCall". At first I didn't even notice this , because idk. Maybe I just glazed over it , however when more people began interacting with the publication I SAW IT and I just had to check for myself .

One of said fics is called "Kill-a-Character Bingo - Scott McCall" which is a fanfiction of 26 chapters in which Scott is killed in various grotesque and humiliating ways.This is one of the chapters:

Outside of feeling gross , disillusioned and honestly sick to my stomach , I was also beyond perplexed . It is one thing to dislike a character . To be so annoyed by them that you just want them gone by any means necessary . I can even understand killing them in your own fic as a "treat" . I can't say I am on board with that , but still I can put myself in your shoes...sort of. Writing a fanfiction in which your main focus is a character you loathe , on the other hand, is ...confusing to say the least.

I can already hear some of you saying "It is not like I wrote this" and you are right , but what about the people supporting it .

115+ people apparently consider this good , entertaining . Gave the "author" their silent encouragement to keep going .

To be fair this fic is from the end of 2023 so the kudos are not that much so let's look at their most recent work with the "Dead Scott McCall" tag -"Compare" which was written at the beginning of February 2024

Over 100 kudos in the span of 3 months . Not too shabby for ao3.How much is too much ? How much longer can you use the "just a few rotten apples" argument?

If you are wondering how Scott's life ends in this story , one of the readers was more than happy to inform us.

I am going to avoid name-calling ,okay. I know that realistically not all of you are like this (thank god). I just want to ask. Do you think this is healthy? Do you think that is a fulfilling way for someone to spend their free time? Are you going to be comfortable being near this person and their fans knowing this is one of their "hobbies"? I don't know about you , but I would definitely be keeping my distance.

Again, I have no clue what is the point of this . I don't want you to attack the user . They would most likely just double down on doing what they know best . Maybe some of you would understand why people from my side of the fandom are so willing to accuse you of certain things instead of getting butthurt . Though that is most likely also asking for too much.

Kanen’tó:kon doodle dump from classes the other day bc I love him too

1. Fantasizing about doing a reimagining of the climax between him and Ratonhnhaké:ton so it could make a lil more sense for me at least . Still emotionally devastating but man I always dread this part of the game

2. First pass practice doodle of him

3. Modern au design (smash tournaments between him and Connor go wild also there’s no contrived fallout between them :)!! Also his full name used in the modern au I imagined would be Kanen’tó:kon Martin and he’s working to become a language professor as a lil nod to his actor)

#assassins creed #assassins creed 3 #kanen’tó:kon #modern au #my art #fanart #I’m not having fun w finals :(( but I am trynna decompress w some ac3 at the end of the day between all my other stuff #anyways if Kanen’tó:kon played smash who would he main I’m asking bc I don’t play smash

practiced animating at 12 fps !!!

(sola by @cyus-on-the-internet :D he got me hooked on his characters hehe)

#i am very proud of this #i like the cape #and the hands #and the tail #and the fact that his tongue sticks out when he's upside down #and specifically when the hands plant on the ground- you can tell which one has the center of weight #because they compress/decompress #i also like the hat #this was very fun #the wayfarers #sola #salt animates

[catbeeper]

sonic is most definitely masking when hes being all quippy and cheeky

#doesnt mean he doesnt have fun being quippy #he totally has fun #when he needs a cool down or decompression he runs off to the top of some building #TRUST ME. #sth #sonic the hedgehog

I think we should make putting billionaires in the ocean into a meme. it's got spice. it's got flavor. you could make wine cellar jokes but now it's like come into my really good very safe submarine. why are the doors locked from the outside? well. it's a secret

#deerchatter #idk how some of you all came to the conclusion that we should all be tasteful about this btw #do you think if we're all just pure of heart enough we can decompress them ?? #y'all have fun w your moral posturing i'm not doing that tho sounds destructive to the human spirit tbh

Hardspace Shipbreaker hits a spot I didn't even know existed. Hell yeah I want to use my laser gun to cut apart derelict spaceships. Hell yeah I wanna use my grapple gun to launch gigantic pieces of nanocarbon into the processor (and occasionally my face). Hell yeah I wanna fly around in my little spacesuit (and accidentally get sucked into the furnace because physics). I wanna put the dumb little stickers on my dumb little tools. I wanna figure out the best way to take apart each kind of ship for maximum profit and minimum damage to me (fuck you especially, quasar thrusters). I'm loving it.

#hardspace shipbreaker #fiadorable plays video games badly #I deeply regret choosing chicken as my dietary preference at character creation #so far I have died in the following ways #pulled a storage compartment too hard and smashed my face #sucked into the furnace trying to get debris in there pre tethers #decompression. need I say more. #burned alive in a quasar thruster after getting snagged on something #first time using the upgraded force push I launched myself backwards into the processor because I forgot to cut one anchor point #so much fun though I love it #even if the story is weak sauce #nobody is playing this game for the story guaranteed

[derelictheretic]

sorry I keep forgetting about tag games and dm's etcetera I am in the not real mental state time

#we have a week break coming up (theoretically a break bc things are due after it so I know we'll all still be working) #hoping to decompress and get off of all devices during that time just to like. touch grass and smell the flowers yanno #self care and enjoy nature #I just haven't had the same energy since The Fire aisjsahsndhdh I am floating on a cloud loving and supporting y'all #while entering my unconscious npc era ahshsshdhdh #i'm shooting brainwaves at u filled with positivity #going to a gallery w my friend today to look at a fairytales exhibit hopefully that'll be a nixe relaxing thing #I would yell about the dnd sess yesterday but. tired. doodles coming eventually #one of my classes is literally drawing for games so the only fun art i'm doing atm is kofi member doodles ajahshdhdh #please other kofi memebers request a doodle sometime so I can draw more cute ocs. it heals me #anyway gotta go vote also oajssoahfjd have a wonderful day everyone <3 #nadine is typing...

WHAT DO THE GEMINI TWINS THINK OF COFFEE

Do they get to drink coffee?

These motherfuckers both LOVE coffee, are you kidding me? Hell yeah they get coffee. Only the fanciest of shits for them, of course. Donnie drinks it WAY more often, but Leo isn't going to look like a little kid and NOT have the occasional espresso, too.

Donnie drinks it like there's no tomorrow (though Mama will chide him in public for appearance's sake,) he genuinely loves it. Leo has grown to enjoy it over time, though he initially hated it and only drank it to try to fit in/look cool. They are both,,,, somewhat addicted. They keep VERY busy schedules, being celebrities and all, and don't always get the most sleep.

#ayvino #caffeine dependence ahoy #gemini au asks #asks #sometimes you have a choice between sleeping #and sitting with your twin and talking about nothing and processing everything thats happened that day #and decompressing #and sometimes you need that #and sometimes you know your twin needs that #and sometimes you both need it and know you wont be able to sleep otherwise #sometimes you have a choice between sleeping and sitting with your twin while they cry and comforting them #sometimes you have a choice between sleeping and just HANGING OUT WITH YOUR TWIN and doing smth FUN #for the first time in DAYS because all youve done is BE ON and perform and smile for the cameras #and in any of these scenarios #you always choose your twin #always #so sleep is secondary #your brother always comes first

I don’t get paid enough for this shit…

#fun fact: I wrote Frat Boy after a bad day at work #can’t wait to see what I come up with tonight to decompress

[baishouqijia]

ooc. just a lil life update cause i despawned despite having 3 weeks free. i still have my job, and will probably return next week. i know i didn't write anything that i wanted to but i actually really needed the break. it's the longest i've had off work in the past 5 years so i spent the entire time decompressing and just loafing. it was great, genuinely.

#✧ : filed. admin. #i'm trying to not sound 'ungrateful' cause a lot of people still lost their jobs and my department went from like. 70 to 20. #and obviously i really fucking hate my company like. i'm still looking elsewhere. #but going back is going to really fucking suck because it's just. completely different and everyone is pissed off (understandably) #but yeah i rewatched stra.nger thi.ngs (vec.na my beloved) and caught up on commissions and then loafed. like i did fucking nothing! #it was so fucking good ! #AQ was orite. didnt get rizzley (as much as i want him) and i dont wanna keep ''building pity'' bc i want moar baizhu in 4.2 #i've learned about how i need long decompression time and that means doing NOTHING for me. and i also learned about investments ! #i cashed out my shares so i can LARP panta.lone and invest. it's kinda fun. i see why you'd become a harbinger + go against gods for moneyy #anyway that's kinda it. soft apology and explanation. but not really because i feel so much better mentally. #hope you're all keeping well. its tough out there rn

[cloudcountry]

hey people you should send me an ikemen character and i will give u a fluffy headcanon. as a treat.

#for both you and me because i need to decompress and i think thsi will be fun #auburn's rambles <3

[sourkitsch]

My thesis review went surprisingly well all things considered!! The one big thing that I got knocked for was being too heavy handed with historical references/symbolism. Which like. Of course. I’m me.

#but it’s definitely noted #stayed late after decompressing w people it was fun but I’m exhausted now

[poodletime]

we saw the great dane in the park again!! plus two cockers they were very cute and jumped all over me but then their owner was calling them back & one of them wouldn’t come he was just like glued to topan sniffing him & getting in his face so topan had a very justified grizzle at him then he finally recalled 🥲

#we’re very into personal boundaries & letting them be known! #anyways mr man had fun until the rude span #even after he just had a good sniff around to decompress #he’s the best #topan #standard poodle #2 years

[shredsandpatches]

I had four (4) hours of rehearsal tonight and an insufficient amount of dinner and zero (0) hours of lying around being a slug and while it was a really good rehearsal I am so, so tired rn

(It's always great when you're in week two and the chorus director's response to your full runthrough of the Easter chorus in Cavalleria is "Okay, you're going to kill. You are going to absolutely kill. The audience is going to be DEAD after that." He's not wrong either. We're gonna be amazing 😍)

#choir stuff #cavalleria rusticana #i am so exhausted rn #i need to eat food and decompress #i am also singing in the beloved traditional free outdoor concert this week #which will be fun but logistically upsetting

[myaimistrue]

feel free to explain in the tags! I normally wouldn't assume people have opinions like this for other media but fanfiction is different.

#i'm just wondering. i know people have preferences like this for fanfic bc it's a lot of times a stress reliever/way to decompress/for fun #del's posts #spn
