all the rise boys get done dirty on characterization by fandom in different ways i think. (not ALL the time every fanwork etc etc these are just like, trends i tend to notice?) every fandom suffers from losing character nuance.

- leo i’ve talked about plenty on this blog, how some of his canon traits (genuine belief in his skill and cockiness, capacity for joy, his manipulativeness whether for good or ill) seem to get watered down or wiped off the board and supplemented with generic sad boy. his struggles with purpose and identity and not wanting to fail somehow morph into “he hates and completely holds no value for himself”

- donnie’s canon personality gets blurred out and largely replaced with whatever list of Neurodivergent Traits. and i think there’s such a fine line to walk between exploring a character that’s been word of god confirmed as on the spectrum and overwriting what’s canonically there. it’s a hard needle to thread. it also feels like a lot of his canon emotiveness gets left off the table for some reason. bc he does have his moments of flat/deadpan delivery, but a lot of the time he’s honestly very emotive. he has the passion of a theatre kid and the vindictiveness of... also a theatre kid. and the mind of a scientist.

- raph loses so much of his rowdy teen boy energy it’s kind of wild? like interpretations sand off that he’s also impulsive and can be reckless and dumb and LOVES fighting and roughhousing and isn’t the most eloquent person. suddenly there’s this pitch perfect soft boy big bro who would never hurt a fly and always says the exact right supportive thing and singlehandedly raised his 3 brothers (which simultaneously sands off all the nuance of splinter’s issues emotionally connecting with his sons and how that affected all of them). and like i LOVE raph, he’s so full of love and care and anxiety, he clearly has learned to put a lot of work into being aware of his strength and size. but there’s a difference you know?

- mikey is like. where raph gets overparentified by fanon, mikey gets over “family therapist”-ed IMO. the impulsiveness, the goofiness, the powerful emotions including a VERY powerful temper, the flat-out dumb teen boy choices... they get ignored. suddenly there’s this only very sweet and earnest boy who has read a hundred psychology books and runs group family therapy weekly or something. he is crying in his room bc leo and raph are arguing about something. which is so. he IS very sweet and can be very earnest and is full of love! he HAS come in with his opinions and unsolicited advice a couple of times and life coached for the greater good. but there’s a difference between what he does in canon and the role he gets in fanon.

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #idk this is not a very eloquent rundown its very hard to explain exactly my vibe #ig the long story short is i feel like a lot of their most interesting and fun qualities get left in the dust #mikey as family therapist is getting under my skin the most rn i think its just so. #for as much as it seems like his brothers try to shelter him (esp raph with his overprotectiveness)..... i just dont see it #i dont see his brothers and definitely not his dad putting their issues on him like that... #him dragging donnie into that one dr feelings session and dragging draxum into a new moral alignment were different #than 'yeah everyone tells mikey their stuff and he has to do the labor of helping with it' #like it just doesnt vibe for me #i think he is very emotionally OPEN on all levels compared to his family #i think he is more likely to share when HE struggles #i dont think raph or leo is sitting with him at 3am like 'it all started when i was 4 and accidentally broke a plate' or what have you idk #it's all so ymmv i do just scroll past stuff i dont vibe with i dont drop hate on it i just #idk dudes its so hard to see the appeal in some of the choices made

the way he actually redacted one of the messages I sent him in a post about me 🤦 I deleted my reblog with them because in good faith I was trying not to fight with this random dude over an accident but he is actually constantly trying to manipulate the narrative by intentionally deleting and leaving things out so if he wants to post "proof" of things then i will gladly join him in showing the entire message I sent him and not just the one that he decided fit his narrative of "being attacked"

the aforementioned replies have been deleted though, because alana shared proof that the post was originally mine when he started calling us toxic for lying and ganging up on him. I'm actually genuinely not trying to be involved in random drama over what I thought was a misunderstanding but im also not going to let the other person keep trying to "prove" I'm in the wrong by literally manipulating the narrative

#if you dont know whats going on and u scroll to see the post that started this... LMFAO #anyway im truly over this random shit idc about. that post went insanely viral and got stolen and reposted across every website #i truly didn't care that dude accidentally stole it i was joking around and when he said that triggered him i apologized and explained #and instead of being like. mature about it he started posting manipulated screenshots. for what? lmfao

"you have to reblog this post even if it doesnt match the theme of your blog" my brother in christ no i don't. i do have to murder you though. because of your guilt tripping. you understand, right?

#LIKE DUDE. im not gonna reblog guilt tripping shit ever #i dont wanna make anyone feel bad idc if its '''important''' if you wanted me to reblog the post you should not have been a dick about it #this applies especially to shit where there is nothing we can do about it except for Know #but it also applies to posts with a billion links to help in some way #because everyone should have the right to just mindlessly scroll through tumblr every once in a while #you know. without being forced into the shame/self hatred spiral by an irresponsible bitch who thinks they have the right to judge everyone #like man its not that hard to say shit like 'this is important please reblog' #instead of saying 'if you dont reblog this youre a horrible person no matter what' #like. fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you #between the two of us there is one horrible person and let me tell you its not me

what I like about 7s is you can tell when they are fuckboys unless you have a room temperature IQ. maybe it is a natural talent that only I have (I really doubt this but I dont wanna insult ppl who've been victimized by 7 fuckboys). however it is just so obvious to me when a 7 dude is a fuckboy trying to taste all his options vs. when he is ripe and ready for commitment. the way that 7s show you bluntly when they are bored with you by ignoring you or only responding with one liners is actually a good thing. I find 7s to be very transparent, very obvious about what they want from you even if they don't directly communicate it with words. they are not capable of leading me on because they never give me the impression that they think I'm special in the first place. they never immerse themselves in my world and make me feel special because they're too preoccupied with their own.

meanwhile other types of men cough cough withdrawns are confusing as hell to the point it feels like manipulation and deception. they can larp like they are all innocent when they are the world's biggest fuckboys. they become deeply connected to you as a friend, they show you that they have a crush on you that they are too scared to act on, and they act like they're ready for exclusivity to get you into bed when often they are not. with words and with showing a genuine interest in your world, they make you think you are extremely special to them, yet many of their actions (or lack thereof) imply that you are not.

no one talks about how 7s with the 1 line can grow up and develop an intense dutifulness towards relationships. the meme is that 7s struggle with commitment but in my experience it really depends on the 7 in question. relational commitment issues are a lot more complicated than "lol 7". any type can have them and its usually rooted in trauma or plain old spiritual weakness.

#7s struggle with committment towards a lot of things but relationships arent necessarily one of them #i see it like its a bar #in a video game #and the 7 bar for “things you struggle to commit to” is SUPER BIG #but many 7s consume that struggle to commit on non relationship things #like their job their work ethic their dreams their good habits (they dont commit to these things) #7s also have a capacity to commit which is small #but they can develop it to be bigger over time #and many choose to spend the little capacity for commitment they do have on relationships #anyways a problem is that 7s can lack the ability to make you feel special because they dont like going too deep emotionally #ive had this problem with my bf and been like “im leaving” but then he was always like noo stay #and i was like well thats the first time anyones wanted me to stay #all these withdrawn dudes made me feel like a princess but it turned out to be shallow words & platitudes because they didnt want to persis #actions are all that really matters and this is what assertive types understand that withdrawns dont #the tradeoff is that assertives are insensitive fucktards who make you feel like theyre always thinking about something better than you #assertives literally never have time for you. even if theyre sitting inside scrolling thru phone all day. its a psychological thing #their thing is always better... more worthy of attention than your thing. #intimacy is difficult with an assertive type. regardless of what your type is #3s and 8s guilty of this as well #im sure ive made my partners in the past feel this way... like theyre unimportant and im always thinking of better things #and i make my bf feel this way sometimes too #he complains #as do I #lmao

Man I HATE it when websites for some type of product I'm looking at put the relevant information about its features in a stupid little slideshow that automatically flips from one slide to the next with no way to stop it or slow it down. Bro my brain doesn't work that fast I've read all of three words and you're already on the next slide. How tf am I supposed to learn what features this product offers if you won't let me read it. Guess I just won't buy your shit??

#this should seriously be considered an accessibility issue #idk if other people can read that shit but /I/ cannot. ive got a learning disorder my dude #literally when my mom took me to get assessed they diagnosed me with basically 'your kid is slow as shit lmaooo' disorder #just give me some time to catch up man 😭 especially since ive been so tired and stressed lately. my brain is on dial up #and even if you give me little arrows to switch back to the last slide the fact that you KEEP SCROLLING ANYWAYS makes it pointless #i read three words. the slide changes. i press the back arrow. i lose my place. i start over. i read three words. the slide changes #this is a sisyphean task for me #the product i was looking at in question was a virtual assistant (trying to ditch google) #and i didnt even make it far enough to find out how much it costed (or if it costed money?) bc they wouldnt let me read their shit #but uh. even if they were free/affordable. if they made their website completely inaccessible to me then like #i dont think i want them in charge of performing tasks from my phone lol... #virtual assistants are supposed to make things MORE accessible and this company failed before they even reached step 0 #rambling

Idk something about the difference between traditionally mainstream and traditionally queer media where the traditionally mainstream celebrates the "perfect" the unacheivable the thing you should aspire to be while traditionally queer media celebrates the "flaws" the care+affection the loving not despite the imperfections but because of them you will never feel loved with traditionally mainstream media while traditionally queer media will love you because of your "imperfections"

#just a thought #tell me off if im being too pretentious<3<3 #idk i was thinking about it while scrolling through tma fanart and was like #ive never felt as welcomed or as seen as i did when i saw tma fanart with scars and stretchmarks #with acne or freckles or any fanart where martin rocks an outfit that my mother would scoff at because 'they dont have the body for it' #or when i saw gifsets of ofmd and saw the actors being allowed to be *human* #no ripped muscle dudes no hypersexualisation #ive never felt more loved than i have in majorly queer fandoms #and ive never been more content with my body than when the actors and characters got to be *human* #idk im rambling love yall <3<3 #ferns frantic fraternising #queer #gay #++ maybe the 'you'll never feel loved with mainstream media' sounds off im running this on my own experiences #its all good if you enjoy mainstream media!! go right ahead!! i wont stop you!! #im just a silly lil trans dude who thinks alot :DDD love yall stay safe!!

YouTube comments sure is something else; you'll have a video of a guy calling someone queer and a Nazi in the same sentence and go to the comments to see people saying with their full chests "the left say this about anybody that they don't like! Anyways I like [guy who has called himself a fascist/Nazi] and all leftists are Nazis!"

#nazi mention #like. the majority of the comments will be agreeing with the people saying its the right #but when you scroll down its a mix of them agreeing that dems/republicans/any political party/ideology they dont like having more likes #like yeah most people are agreeing that the dude who calls himself a nazi is one #but others are getting more attention by calling actual gay kids nazis bc they *checks notes* dont want to die #ask to tag

People are blazing the strangest things

#sometimes its art which i dont mind like yeah dude good for you show off your work. its infinitely better than corpostate ads #but them sometimes its random shit like i just saw a photo of a plane? like a blurry zoomed out pic of a plane #i wonder what was going thru the posters head when they blazed that. like dow hat you want its not hirting anyone it's just mystifying tome #then theres the folks blazing selfies and. i really have nothing to say there idk what interaction youre expecting there #theres a certain sect of tumblr users who respond with vitriol to any blazed tumblr post no matter the content which is kinda shitty honest #ly like keep scrolling man. are you telling me you prefer the corporate ads? mobile game ads? #its particularly mean when they comment on peoples art like that #youre directing your rage at the wrong people my guy #same w the selfies like no i dont want to see those either but its still a real person. no need to make em feel bad #i did get a blazed post for a book on like. sex tips the other day though which was bizarre. i dont think it was the posters book either?? #i just blocked and moved on w that one tho #grays matters #CORPORATE NOT CORPOSTATE
