those handful of 'non-signatories' aren't independent countries, they're all overseas territories of other countries (either the UK or NZ)

the USA is the only country in the world that has not agreed to the Convention

Nothing annoyed a younger me more than opening ao3 to look up my favourite character only to find so many fics that were so contradictory to how he’d actually act (mostly for the sake of shipping, but the way fandom sometimes treats m/m parings and feels the need to shove them into certain roles and traits is a completely different conversation that I will not be getting into)

I think a lot of this is because of people wanting these characters to fit into tropes and stereotypes that they were never made for, so they end up stripping them of all defining characteristics so they can fit the perfect mould, which is more of a bigger issue with fandom as a whole rather than a couple people mischaracterising my blorbo

But honestly? Good for them, it may be annoying, but they’re doing something creative that makes them happy and there is nothing more beautiful than that

I’m all for people doing whatever they want forever and if that means wildly mischaracterising my favourite guy, then go ahead and have a blast I’m genuinely happy for you, even though I can’t stand it and it makes me die a little on the inside

Something I will never get though is people trying to explain away/ justify/ just comply ignore any bad thing a character they like has done. That’s the best part of them! You’re allowed to like villains, can you really say you love them if you can’t accept them, war crimes and all?

Conclusion: make bad, cringey art. It doesn’t matter if it’s entirely self indulgent you made it for you anyway

(I still voted yes on the pole though, at that point they are just glorified oc’s, but who cares? I don’t have to read those fic’s or interact with those people at all)

on this blog we're big believers of "doing what you want forever"

but to be honest when it comes to mischaracterising i'm probably the worst for it, i'll just pick one character trait and just latch onto it permanently

like i don't even remember anything about sae niijima but whenever i put something in the microwave i still slam the table like YOU REHEATED LASAGNA YOU MUST HAVE HAD THE HELP OF A MICHELIN STAR CHEF

vampire boyfriends are overrated

literally everything that’s hot about a vampire is there in a werewolf but sexier and less creepy.

What a horrible night to have a poll...

Either way, propaganda is always encouraged!

update from the yyyy-mm-dd datetime hot take submitter. i had this same argument with my brother and he, being a professional internet troll (joke), proposed that we format dates from largest to smallest in two-digit format. so 2007-02-04 would become "07-04-02" and would also be equivalent to 2002-04-07, 2002-07-04, 2004-07-02, 2004-02-07, and 2007-04-02. i don't know what else i would do with this proposal besides send it back here. i think he wins hottest datetime formatting take. he said it so confidently too.

i have adhd and no concept of linear time so this is already my reality

As a genderfluid thing of chaos i have always loved astolfo bc he's so me

I think a while back i sent in a take about how modern pokemon wasnt that bad (i think it was something along the lines of "modern pokemon isnt that bad, you guys are just mean"), did it even end up in queue or is my luck just bad lol

honestly everyone's luck is kinda bad over here at the moment lol

i have a ton of coursework and exams are right around the corner, so i even though i've been making polls when i can i've really been burning the candle at both ends trying not to fail (i'm kind of a dumbass)

in terms of polls would-you-punt-them is doing a lot of the heavy lifting right now

FREE HIM

What do you think about takes about the book series Warrior Cats?

i had vaguely heard of warrior cats before, but i always assumed it was some kind of magic fantasy catboy series

it wasn't until i started the punt polls that i realised that the cats in warrior cats are like... actual cats

turns out it's more like this:

BEHOLD, DEATHKILL, LORD OF BATTLE AND HERALD OF THE CRIMSON MOON

BORN OF FIRE AND BLOOD, HE WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE WORLD IS TORN ASUNDER AND ALL OF CREATION IS BUT ASH ON THE WIND AS THE PROPHECIES FORETOLD

THOSE WHO WOULD CLING TO HOPE, HEAR HIS CRY AND KNOW DESPAIR

HE IS ALSO AFRAID OF BUBBLES AND IS VERY EASY TO PUSH OVER

none of this is a criticism by the way, if i can find a copy i want to give the series a try

Turns out I eat hair as a stress response... ruh roh, gotta look more into that

i've never really been sure how common it is to have a compulsive habit in response to stress

maybe this isn't exactly the same thing, but whenever i'm in a stressful situation or uncomfortable social setting i always unconsciously cover my left eye with my left hand

imagine you're on a first date which is already going badly, only for your date to fucking jojo pose on you out of nowhere

Some people dont actually like their "favourite characters" that much

I constantly see people claim to love a character, only to strip them of everything that makes them That Character, usually in favour of making them a basic sterotype - such as "weak girl", "toxic alpha male","weak girl with he/him pronouns","mean lesbian" etc. or to ignore their villainous traits. Personally I think if you have to change everything about a character to fit them inside a box, you don't actually like the character at all. You're basically talking about an OC with the same name at that point.

This was hard to phrase a question around, but I did my best.

Propaganda is always encouraged - whether that's a specific character in a fandom you're a part of who you think is a victim of this, or just something you see generally!

ASTOLFO IS THE BEST AND HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG EVER

ASTOLFO CAME HOME!!!!

Propaganda is always encouraged because we are all agreed that Astolfo is perfection and a shining beacon of hope and that's always something worth talking about

Also remember to reblog the only good poll on this blog for exposure because there are still people cursed with a stolfoless existence and we must help Astolfo on their mission to spread joy throughout the world

If i could id already punt any cat i see harassing the female stray cats in my town into the sun (dw all i do shoo them away with water) so i have no problem punting ashfur into the sun even if he was cute

i've heard a lot of reasons why you guys vote to punt the warrior cats

using them as a means to vicariously punt local cat-calling kitties is certainly a new one
