#but like I’m not offended by ppl who think that’s something we need to think about

[ambassadorarlert]

currently laying in bed sick and figured i’d get some things off my chest

being on tumblr and interacting w ppl on here is strange bc 2023 was the roughest year of my entire life, like no joke. irl and online, i’ve been forced to stay quiet, hidden, and endure being burnt from every possible angle. i’ve gotten out of one toxic cycle barely by the skin of my teeth and the second chance of life i was given would be a wasted if i didn’t change the way i live and think.

this blog used to be a safe haven for me, a place where i could share my writing (which is something I wanted to get back into since falling out of it for years.) i had a huge medical accident, and never got treated properly for it because I couldn’t afford to see a doctor (financial abuse woo!! 😀) and was gaslight to believe certain things weren’t as they seemed, so my health was pushed to the back burner and i had to press on for someone who never even loved me. now that i’m away from that situation, i’ve been trying to not put pressure on myself to write and upload. i see writing as a whole an art and the things i want to create cannot be rushed or mass produced, which is what a lot of younger people are used to and why they’re so rude and demanding requests, why they don’t read rules or respect boundaries, why they say out of pocket shit because they’re used to commenting on their fav creator/celebs pics without repercussions. writers aren’t influencers or content creators — we’re people who do what we love for free. no creators programs to pay us and gives us platforms, no sponsorships, some of us don’t even get tips. when i see mutuals leave certain fandom spaces because of hate, it genuinely makes me sad.

on top of abuse irl, i’ve been getting abused on here as well. internet harassment hardly constitutes as “bullying” in the eyes of some but not to me. this is an especially hard topic for me to talk about, and i can hardly be vague about it because it will kick up a bunch more shit. but if want see the change, i have to speak up. if i want to be comfortable, i first have to get used to be uncomfortable. I never said anything until now, because it’s been dragged out long enough. they’re younger than me and are clearly suffering psychological issues. i for real don’t want them to be hurt. but it’s hard to not notice what they’re doing when they’re doing it. they keep tabs on everything i say and people i talk to, make blogs and remake blogs when I block them. i don’t have definite proof of this part in particular, but i suspect they go around and tell stories about me which makes sense as to why mutuals i’ve made will block/unfollow me out of the blue. (anyone can block who they want for whatever reason they want, but the pattern is there and it’s strange.) i’m sure they’ll try to take this post and create an issue, victimize themselves and change the narrative, but I don’t care anymore. i mentioned no names and i said what i said.

i want my blog back. i want to write my silly fics and stories. i want to be able to support people unapologetically and see all the self ships, say what i want to say and post what i want to post and show ppl that love is everything and there’s no place for hate in 2024. i’ve always been outspoken and called bullshit when i smelled it, and have said whatever has come to my mind. so if there’s anything I’ve ever said that may have offended someone in anyway, i actually truly am sorry and will 100% say it to your face if need be. its easy for me to troll real trolls, and stick up for other people who have a hard time defending themselves. i need to learn how to do the same for myself, and relearn how to take care of myself. i feel more comfortable doing that one step at a time.

[nouies]

in honour of @bottomlouisficfest’s final writing party, i decided to share the snippets of the two fics i wrote for the fest. i’m a bit late but there were some ppl who tagged me in different things; thanks to @allwaswell16, @disgruntledkittenface, @boosbabycakes28, and @wemadethishome for tagging me! i’m tagging you all back in case you want to share something. <3

1. “Cold Spring”, coffee shop au, owner louis/writer pedro pascal

“So you and Pedro,” Sam started when they were cleaning the shop before closing.

“What about it?” Louis thought that the best plan of action was to feign innocence because he had a feeling what Sam was going to say.

Louis’ dating life was…nonexistent, for lack of a better word. For starters, he was extremely busy running the coffee shop, it took pretty much all of his time, and he wasn’t willing to leave his business unattended just for the sake of a relationship. Second of all, he was a young gay man—a very attractive one if he said so himself—living in a small village; everyone and anyone who he could have a relationship with had already been ruled out.

“I’ve never seen you this smitten with someone since, I don’t know, ever,” she stated. And it was probably true considering she had started working at the café about four years ago, and by that time Louis had given up on dating altogether. “And I feel offended that you’ve never served me a glass of water when I show up at work hungover.”

Louis chuckled. “That’s your fault for not measuring your alcohol.” He closed the drawers where they kept the cloth napkins after checking all of them were there. “Look, there’s nothing going on there so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t speculate about my relationship with the man, or lack thereof more like.”

“But why? He seems quite fond of you as well, haven’t you noticed?” Sam spun around with open arms, letting out a long sigh. “It’s so romantic if you ask me.”

Louis shook his head at his employee’s antics. “Well, I’m not asking you. And we should hurry up before it gets darker outside, come on!”

2. “could start a cult”, a/b/o breastfeeding au, hl as parents

Harry set the dried corn leaves previously wet to make them flexible on the table and brought out two cake icing scrapers that he usually used for when he baked. “Okay, love, what do you say if you make the pork tamales and I make the chicken ones so we save time and effort?” At Louis’ nod, he continued. “You just need to take a leaf, cover it with enough dough like this, and then add a spoonful of salsa.”

“Is this too much dough?” Louis showed him a corn leaf with the perfect amount of dough—not too much for the tamal to turn dry, not too little to have more filling than dough.

“It’s perfect, baby. More than perfect, actually, just like you.” He kissed Louis, just because he could.

As they poured water into the pot, Harry kissed Louis. As they put the tamales in the pot, Harry kissed Louis. As they started washing the dishes they used for the preparation, Harry kissed Louis. As Harry poured them wine while they waited for the tamales to be ready, Harry kissed Louis.

The alpha couldn’t contain the happiness that meant having the omega by his side. Ever since they had started dating, he knew his life would change for the better, and now he knew for sure. Louis made everything softer, kinder. He couldn’t fathom the idea of not having Louis in his life, be it as a lover or just as a friend, the omega had become an essential part of Harry’s heart, and he just knew that he wanted to hold onto that feeling forever.

Harry tried to imagine how it would feel to ask Louis to officially bond, picturing the perfect date maybe at their favorite restaurant. He knew the omega didn’t need a big gesture to be asked in marriage, so maybe if they could go away during a weekend, the two of them alone, Harry could plan something nice for his boyfriend. He smiled just thinking about it.

“Marry me,” Harry blurted out. So much for waiting for the perfect date.

Okay here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot unfortunately and idk I feel like I need to get it off my chest lol so it’s gonna be a lot of rambling and incoherent thoughts and yeah just a lot of me putting my feelings out there so if y’all want to ignore pls do again these are my own personal opinions and thoughts and this is my own safe space to have them okay? Okay.

So the whole B/uild situation really disgusted me. I truly do believe people can change and make mistakes because I get that we are human we say/do stupid stuff I understand lord knows I’ve done my fair share (not to this extent but still we are all dumb dumbs in our own way) but with these mistakes me we make we have to accept responsibility and accountability for our actions and deal with the consequences

Now do I think ppl should have gone into his social media accounts and actively look for these posts? No. But still what’s done is done and it’s out in the open. But instead of letting him accept accountability for it and try to change it certain stans defended him and acted like he did nothing wrong because what? He was a kid? He was a fully functioning adult at this time he had the critical thinking skills to know what he was posting would be gross and offensive so don’t say that he didn’t understand or whatever. These certain stans went out of their way to defend him and treat ppl that were saying it hurt them or was gross/offensive as being ridiculous and dumb

So yeah sure he apologized or whatever but has he really changed? Has he even been able to accept the responsibility of his actions? No because certain ppl haven’t let him they’re treating him like a child he’s in his 20s obviously he has a lot to learn and this could have been a good humbling experience for him but instead he seems even more fake even more insincere and like he doesn’t even care and I’m sorry but when he was crying at the concerts I just rolled my eyes it was so forced

I’m sorry if this offends anyone that’s never my intention but like I said this is my own space and I’m venting my OWN feelings like if you think he’s done nothing wrong well then… that’s on you. But as someone who’s been personally in a SA/r*pe situation it really was sad to see and offensive and to see his fans go out of their way to tell ppl who feel the same way as me that we are overreacting/stupid just shows how blind ppl can be

#not even gonna tag this #I’m annoyed #I saw some stuff on Twitter and I got #annoyed/appalled at the idiocy of them

[queerextremity]

ok so i finally watched ‘she-hulk’ and oh god, it was so bad

(spoilers for ep1 ahead!)

1. i’ve already posted on why making steve’s virginity such a big deal is problematic at its core, but it also makes jennifer so creepy and unlikeable from the get-go. she’s never met him, he’s not her friend, he’s basically like a celebrity in her world and i thought we’ve all agreed that ppl who obsess over celebrities’ sexual life so much are creepy. i just feel like we’re so tangled up in our perception of steve as a fictional character that we don’t realise how weird it is from her side. the post-credit scene literally sounds like something bruce came up with so that she would leave him alone. it’s just so weird to pester steve’s friend with questions about his sexual life. oh, and her line about how sad it is for ‘that ass to die a virgin’ is so acephobic and i feel so very offended by it. it literally says your life is sad if you never had sex, which is incredibly toxic and has the possibility of making many people who see this feel bad. sex is just an experience someone has and someone doesn’t. it’s not the most important thing in life and it doesn’t change anything about the person you are and the happiness you’re able to get from life.

2. the virginity stuff is generally very good at representing the kind of character jennifer is. i feel like in that scene they were trying to make her super progressive, sex positive and show us that women in mcu discuss sex freely and aren’t ashamed of it. and i think we’ve seen the fight against slut-shaming turning into virgin-shaming thousands of times before, but it’s like the world was so done with it somewhere in early 2000′s teenage comedies. mcu is so late in here. the show is just like that. it tries to be feminist so hard, it tries to make jennifer independent, funny, totally in control of her life, but she just comes off arrogant, invasive and mean. it’s not internal misogyny, i would’ve hated a male character like this even faster.

3. her monologue about women and anger is true, but it’s just... stuff we’ve already heard a billion times in countless of other shows. i don’t even see the point of she-hulk if she’s so good at controlling her anger. you can’t just throw some feminist monologue in my face to justify it. she-hulk had so much potential to play with gender norms since women usually aren’t allowed to be angry, uncontrollably angry especially. a giant green monster who smashes everything it sees isn’t a type of character written for women. it could’ve definitely been interesting. but jennifer is still good with her anger, instantly good at being hulk and she’s not a big giant monster at all. she’s still very feminine, just green and stronger. what is the inner struggle of her character so far? what is the point of her learning to be hulk if she’s so good at everything already?

i’m not sure if it was like that in the comics and i don’t really care, because it’s still just boring to see and it’s not the story we need to see in 2022. 

4. i’m all for feminist talk in any shapes and sizes, but i want deep and layered stories about women’s struggles. ‘she-hulk’ just acts like its audience is stupid, so they need everything explained at the most basic level. well, probably more is too much for mcu. maybe we’ll get stories like that in 10 years!! let’s hope they won’t be late by that time, just like ‘she-hulk’ is by now.

5. oh, and yes, as for a comedy show, it sucks. i haven’t even smiled once during the episode. this is the least funny mcu show so far.

6. i know dozens of shows where the first episode is shit, but the rest is gold, so i never instantly judge. i’ll give it another chance and hopefully have the desire to take half of the stuff i just said back. but something tells me i won’t

7. tatiana maslany is actually great and i see how she tries to make something out of this terrible script. 

#she hulk #i'm just mad and i needed to vent #i expected to only be mad at steve stuff but oh boy... #i only liked the mentions of tony moping about steve #because it got me in my stony feels #not that i have a lot but still!!! #julia rambles and screams

I will say this and this might come off bad but whatever. Due to the major lack of diversity in Hollywood, I think there are some actors and actresses coming up rn who are mostly getting roles for the boxes they check off and not for any talent. If you need native actors, you’ll find anyone who wants a gig, their actual acting chops be damned. East asians are in demand rn, so anyone with an East Asian heritage will get casted in anything calling for Asians.

It’s not to say it’s affirmative action gone too far or some shit, but more so I think Hollywood thinks we just want ppl who check off diversity quotas and not actual talent, and so we’ll tolerate it because yay diversity.

Like I know it’s because I’m Black and as we can all recite, we have to be twice as good to get half as far as whites. So unfortunately, we don’t get to be mediocre and expect lead roles. And these days especially, there are enough Black actors that Hollywood isn’t strapped when they’re looking from ppl from specific backgrounds (didn’t the actor for Sokka or something lie about his background to get this gig? Lol). But if it’s not Black or white, they have to go hunting for actors and so nonblack PoC are the ones imo benefiting the most from this recent demand of more diverse casts in tv and film. People with little to no experience are getting gigs that Black actors can only hope for later in life (pay attention to how most Black actors who are household names often do so in their late 30s at the earliest, but usually not until their 40s-50s, IF they blow up at all). Like whenever gen z cries about adults playing teenagers, then biggest offenders are Black actors because they’ll legit be in their 30s playing teenagers (All American, Love Victor, Black Lightning to name a few examples) because Hollywood refuses to look for and cultivate Black teenagers. But if you’re a teen of any and every other race, hey you could get a hit role lol.

Black ppl can talk all day about the toxicity of the concept of Black excellence and Black exceptionalism; but at least we can say the people who make it are fucking good. Gen Z is constantly rewarding mediocrity just because it looks a little like them and it’s rather annoying. And I’m having to suffer any time I see a young Brown actor who is 25 but sounds like they are a 15 year old who stepped into a guest role on Hannah Montana for a couple of episodes. Get that weak shit out of here lol.

In short, a Greysexual is a person who experiences sexual attraction some of the time and sometimes not at all. And apparently a Sapiosexual means you are sexually attracted to intelligent people. -Lonely

In THE MOST RESPECTFUL WAY POSSIBLE…. what the fuck did you just say to me? See this is why I don’t believe in labels, & ppl take that as me being disrespectful & hateful, when my concern is just for the person being labeled.

Why did we make a word for someone who sometimes experiences sexual attraction?… isn’t that just being human? Like I’m not always turned on… and only attracted to intelligent people? So you’d have a type? Is there a sexuality label for people who only date fat people? Or is chubby chaser still a label? I just don’t understand why we’re putting pressure on anyone to label themselves, there’s actual problems in the world lol

I would say you’re human. Idk what goes through your mind, it’s not my business. I mean do you want a dick in your ass as long as they’re intelligent? You could, idk. And I know you experience sexual attraction b/c hello we met somehow Lmao if you only experience it sometimes, that’s healthy you don’t always have a boner. I’m confused actually

I find this labeling thing so detrimental to our mental health over time. Any age, constantly feeling that we have to define ourselves by “XYZ” isn’t healthy so I hope this isn’t like a new journey of needing to define yourself🥺

Personally, I’d think you’re like me. I used to call myself “bi” in HS, but as time went on I realized it’s not all girls, like I don’t necessarily like vagina but I love tits, & it’s the personality I’m attracted to. So now I just say I like who I like. I don’t ask or think about ppl’s parts until I want them in my mouth. I’d assume from knowing you, you’d be the same. Like I don’t think you’re gay or want to LOOK for men, but if I happened to have a dick, you’d work with me to find what works for US b/c you fell for my personality. I don’t think that falls under a label. I’ve had someone say that’s called something these days, but using that label is then like I HAVE to feel the definition of that label, & life is a journey & we’ll always be evolving & growing, & that’s fuckin beautiful.

Just love bro. You have so much love to give, I’ve always told you that. So whoever you love will be an incredibly lucky human❤️

I need a list of all these terms we have now b/c I KNOW damn well the bluntness of how I talk offends ppl when I will never have that intention- I’m just uneducated & have a message to send BY being uneducated🙈

[theloveinc]

Oh! We're talking about tropes? How do you feel about different ~situation~ type tropes? Like "there was only one bed" or "I need a date to this wedding like yesterday but it's totally platonic" or "I told my parents/friends that I have an s/o and now we're fake dating" etc. etc. etc.

(Also, I am doing better, just been really tired and low energy. And my main self-ship is with Aizawa, though I'm very picky about how he's written so I don't read a lot of fics that feature him 👀)

🐞

we are…barely!! And I was actually thinking of a few similar to the ones you mention when I was answering my previous ask… but I feel like they’re a little bit different narratively bc they’re less… general and more specific, if that makes sense? Like rather than being a whole au about something, sharing a bed or fake dating at a wedding are specific scenes that have a lot more room for variation… which is why I judge them less harshly and more on how they’re executed individually. Idk.

So I would say I enjoy most of them! Or can. And do, cuz they’re very digestible in oneshots. But honestly LOL, i haven’t been reading much lately so who really jnows.

Anyway, I’m glad to hear you’re a bit better! Being low energy is rough bc it can be frustrating not to feel productive, so I hope u aren’t being too hard on urself and just taking it easy. I was just thinking about your sick ask today, maybe I can get to it one day soon when I have some energy too🫣☺️

And aizawa!!! That’s so🥺 … it’s honestly incredible to me how many ppl turn out to be aizawa fans kind of in secret. It’s really a shame he’s not written for well, or even that much really… but still I’d say your taste is good, esp because picky = better usually. If u ever wanna talk about him w/ me… I’d love to hear if my thoughts on him meet the ladybug-bar (and I won’t be offended if they don’t😖) 👁👁🖤🖤🖤

#Aizawa stans are truly the strongest mha fans I can’t lie #I’d trust all of u with my life #I forget if I find him easy or hard to write #I def think him and I would either be besties or worsties #so idk how good I do with him LOL #but I’m open to all characters u know so one day we should have this chat if u wanna tell me how u see him! #I’d love to hear #anyway stay well friend<3 #caitie answers #anon #🐞

[wildfangz]

ok *cracks knuckles* bitchin time. This is long but i have an autism license so thats allowed. thank you. Also disclaimer that I haven’t actually looked at any of them in game, just in screenshots.

Mortimer is the only one here who feels like a drastic improvement. Super happy they gave him that specific mustache. He looks so much more like the morty we know and love to the point I might check him out in CAS and re-do my morty makeover w/ him as a base. 

Imo, and I think I can speak for most people that were looking forward to the townie makeovers, one of the most important updates was giving Bella and Cassandra the right skintones. But they’re still off! The skintone update was SO good, with so much variation, yet they still have washed out skin. It looks ashy, it’s not nearly as warm as it should be (which from what I could see was the MAIN complaint w/ the concept art) and it still doesn’t look dark enough.

WHY CHANGE BELLA’S DRESS.  Her hair was fine too imo though the new style doesnt look bad but WHY CHANGE HER DRESS. I feel like they tried waaaay too hard giving them a complete makeover when what we really needed was just a little more care put into them, as well as lore updates. Dina & Nina were the ones that needed a massive makeover moreso.

Speaking of lore updates... I’ve seen people say aside from likes/dislikes there really hasn’t been any changes? Which I can understand why that’d need to be a later update but I think that was the other important aspect we were looking forward too and I would have liked at least some comments on it, even if it amounted to nothing but “its coming eventually” 

Is part of the future lore update going to be something like there’s a bella imposter in the home? bc thats not bella. I have no idea why they had to change her face so much, like aside from skintone the concept art was so much better in comparison. I think Bella is the most disappointing here for me because she was only one that looked okay originally? A skintone update, cold/hot weather outfits, etc were really the only things she needed. Have no idea who decided she needed to have that No Chin problem waaay too many fucking townies have, though maybe that’s just the angle, but idk. It does look like they brought her chin up and I just don’t get it. :/

I have to agree w/ ppl that I don’t like what they did w/ Alexander. I know one of my friends felt like changing his skintone was kind of performative on their part and I’d have to agree, though for me it’s not the world’s biggest deal, just weird. Not to discount anyone that does feel uncomfortable w/ it like my friend did, just not my place to be offended by it or anything yknow. What I can say is I always liked how Cassandra took after Bella more while Alex took after Morty & I’m gonna keep that for my makeover. & They did the poor lad so dirty when he’s aged up lmao. That being said maybe an unpopular opinion but I actually think the hair change was cute & more fitting.

The best way I could describe the new Cassandra is just...disappointing. Like she looks better! There was improvement there for sure. But at the same time, I was hoping they’d change her face a bit more, to look more like her sims 2 version. Get rid of the softer look and make her face look thinner, longer. Looks like they might have done a bit of work, I just would have liked to see some more.

I was so excited about the makeovers bc so many of the earlier sims were in desperate need. The Caliente sisters specifically needed SO much work, that was the BIG one to me, but this makeover doesn’t give me much faith that the team will actually understand whats wrong with them aside from the whitewashing. And that’s only because everyone was thankfully so loud about it for so long. Like I think they’re just going to try harder to make them look more arab/hispanic which will probably include getting rid of their green eyes and call it a day without even touching on the alien thing. I’d like to hope they’d fix their personalities too since people were loudly irritated about that but. :/

No question, just wanna say you make the best Flowey content in this fandom, also I love his friendship with Papyrus especially in your work <3

wow no way!?! this is such a huge compliment and it means so much to me, gosh ty! They’re my favorites so I’m really really glad that I can do em justice hahahsd

Here r some unfinished floral sketches I never posted, just 4 u 💞

But yeah, I’ve always been really interested in papyrus’s and flowey’s friendship(?) dynamic, it just seems like they had something complicated but special, yk? I think a lot of ppl see papyrus as temperamental, but in reality I don’t think that’s actually true? He gets annoyed at extremely specific things, but you can make flowey SO MAD or so scared, and no matter what u say or do to papyrus he never gets offended, and never dislikes you. Your choices concerning papyrus almost never matter. I think the only true friend flowey could’ve had is someone like that really, because flowey has no empathy and no filter…he’s stuck in a childlike mindset, and is soulless to boot. I don’t think that makes him unable to feel…he helps toriel when she collapses in the ruins (see the alarm clock dialogue) and he seems sad and confused when you spare him.

I really just think he lacks empathy now, which would be something that I think monsters as a species would not be used to (they’re all so kind), especially bc he used to be one of the kindest. I think that abrupt, violent change in your empathetic capability would make anyone (especially a child) confused and hurt…I believe he thinks that he can’t feel anything about anyone, but that’s not actually true. I just think he’s traumatized. His life went so fucking wrong so fast, his best friend and sibling died, he died, and then was given godlike time powers. That’s not a good recipe for well-adjusted child.

In typical flowey fashion, he betrays papyrus in true pacifist, and aludes to messing around with him when he had the ability to reset, but names him as his favorite, and seems to know more about him than even his own brother (see the official undertale tumblr ask thingy) Papyrus is canonly really good with kids. He is the only character we battle that does not kill frisk. Every single one of his puzzles are harmless, and the ones that aren’t, he puts away or just uses on himself (still not sure that electric maze mishap was truly accidental…). he traps you in a cage that is totally 100% escapable, and praises you when you do…he goes on a funny little date with you…it just seems like he’s trying to get this kid to laugh and smile.

He even gives you his number so he can assist you in your journey through the underground…and answers in every single room where there is reception. I think flowey deserves/needs a friend like this. Someone patient (most of the time lol), understanding, and forgiving. Someone who’d see the sadness behind your emotional cactus exterior and start a fan club for you to cheer you up. Someone who believes you can do better, literally no matter what. Someone goofy and exuberant he can just be a kid with. Someone who can take any insult and turn it back around on the little shit who threw it at him.

Ok I could write about this forever lmao Im so sorry. I just think they’re neat.

hi im asking u this bc u seem to be bee duo enthusiast so

ive been calling c! beeduos relationship platonic because i thought that was what their cc’s said, and i thought they had said that they were uncomfortable with ppl shipping the characters. But ive seen a lot of posts that say their relationship is canonically romantic? and i absolutely do not want to come across as homophobic by watering down a mlm relationship to just friends because that happens so much in media so.

what is the canon state of their relationship / ur opinions on the platonic thibg

dont worry abt answering if u dont want to!! i see a lot of differing opinions and i trust yours :)

aw it’s totally fine, im flattered you asked me about this!

let me put it simply: it’s a whole mess, lol.

first im going to talk about what’s happened fandom-wide that caused differing opinions, and then i’ll explain my own opinion/interpretation. :]

(this got really fucking long im so sorry)

ranboo and tubbo initially proclaimed the relationship was romantic, specifically in argument with the wiki editors who had set it as platonic by default. (you can see this in the vod where they decide they’re canonically married— it’s very funny. chat tells them the marriage is already on the wiki, they check, tubbo is jokingly offended that it says platonic and asks if he needs to up the romance).

tubbo also makes jokes about adultry, which sort of implies the relationship is not necessarily a platonic one.

(theres definetly more in that stream alone but it’s been a long time since i watched it so i don’t remember a lot of it.)

the wiki, because of this, suffers from going back and forth on platonic and romantic, seemingly unsure where the joke ends and the canon begins, or if its canonically a joke! a mess, as you can already tell.

this gets more complicated as the marriage bit goes on: outsiders, such as phil and scott, both at one point say “platonic marriage”, which then ranboo and tubbo agree with. however, when chat asks them if they’re platonic, they say the opposite. so there is a lot of confusion there.

there’s also the difficulty of being able to tell streamers and characters apart. ranboo and tubbo both don’t like being shipped irl, and that’s their boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. (they’re also minors, but tbh when they’re 18 in a year i will still be following their boundaries regardless of their legal age).

due to people not wanting to be accused of minor shipping, they started adding the platonic tone indicator to most of their drawings— basically a way of saying “no homo”. meanwhile, tubbo frequently on stream flirts with ranboo and makes quite a bit of nsfw comments towards him that are frankly hilarious.

this goes on for a while with nobody really sure what’s canon, but a lot of people assuming it’s probably platonic, until: the drama of the mods night. a few mods dmed all the wiki editors telling them ranboo wanted his canon character relationship officially set to platonic.

unfortunately for those mods; the very same day, a few hours later, ranboo on stream makes fun of puffy delivering him and tubbo “friendship flowers”. because, and i quote, “bruh. we’re literally married. this must be how the ancient greeks felt.”

in case you don’t know, the internet often jokes about how historians will call ancient greeks ‘very good friends’ when they are quite obviously gay. so in this context, ranboo is joking that people will call him and c!tubbo, who are married, “close friends”, when he doesn’t think they are.

basically, ranboo canonized romantic bee duo, the very same day the mods told everyone he’d wanted a platonic one.

chaos and drama immediately erupted everywhere. on tumblr, we were talking about how weird it was of his mods to do something like that without asking him first. we ALSO talked about how weird it was of them to assume that ranboo can’t make his own decisions, or assume teenagers cannot be in relationships without it being sexual. twitter did the same thing but in the opposite direction: called ranboo mods homophobic, or said they were mad ranboo felt pressured into making a romantic relationship canon ‘just so people could have mlm rep.’

i dont want to go into detail about the drama that happened that night because apparently official people follow me and i dont want to stir it up or have them come “clarify” things. im just saying what we talked about.

ranboo in typical ranboo fashion apologized quickly and seriously. he was deeply sorry for possibly offending anyone with how he’d portrayed his rp relationship with tubbo, and he also assured everyone the mod thing was just a miscommunication.

he said he would talk to tubbo and they’d decide once and for all whether it was platonic or romantic, and then announce so everyone would know.

it’s now been a few months and we've had no word from them on that development. we still have no clue.

-

now, here’s my opinion:

i want to take ranboos word for it that it was a miscommunication with his mods, but... we had it on good authority from people on the wiki team and people in the discord with the mods that (while it was happening) they were really going after the wiki admins, and also made some weird comments about it. that combined with the way ranboo seemingly had no clue (considering he canonized their romance that very same day).... it’s very. sus of the mods.

then there’s the canon we’ve got since then. although occasionally adults in the room have called it a “platonic marriage” and tubbo once (back when it first started) called it a “plankton tectonic” marriage, in roleplay it’s been... kind of not that. tubbo and ranboo make nsfw jokes about each other in character, and their characters also share a master bedroom and bed in the mansion. there's also the way c!tommy really thinks it’s a romance between them as well, and they agree with and play off that— for instance confirming that they “fell in love” when he asked, or ranboo confirming that they “make out on occasion”.

people will still put platonic on their art and posts, imo, because they’re worried about breaking ranboo and tubbo’s irl boundaries by looking like they ship them. or even just being accused of shipping real life minors. and that’s a valid fear to have.

the thing is though: c!bee duo are not cc!bee duo. they’re roleplay characters. cc!bee duo are not okay with being shipped, but they made their characters get canonically married, and call each other “husbands”. so it’s okay to write the word “husband” in your comic without adding “platonic” to it, i promise.

telling the ccs that their characters have to be platonic is... weird. it comes off as not only babying them, but also as saying teens can’t date without it being gross. which isn’t true.

(this is why seeing people overuse “platonic husband” so much bothers me. like, they ARE husbands. you can just say it. what are you trying to hide...?)

-

do i think they’re canonically romantic? ehh, its likely. it’s still okay to interpret them as platonic, because again, it’s hard to tell where jokes end and roleplay begins. like, maybe it’s jokes in the rp too, and c!bee duo are just friends. friends can and should be allowed to make jokes like that with each other! aro & ace marriages exist!

or, maybe it’s actually part of the rp, and they’re very much romantic. we don’t know!

some people say they could be a qpr (queerplatonic romance), which i could see. (a qpr is a relationship that fluctuates between, or can’t quite be sorted into, “romantic” and “platonic”. people in a qpr can do romantic things while having platonic feelings for each other). in my opinion this is a very valid interpretation as well!

-

CONCLUSION (sorry this got so long omfg):

are c!bee duo romantic?

its likely, but you can still interpret them however you like!

should i put /p on bee duo content?

ehhh? i find it annoying when it’s overused (as do others), but if you’re worried you can. its up to preference. putting it too much is weird though

should i put /p on things cc! bee duo do?

no. you’re not the one saying it so you can’t decide the tone tags for that. imagine you said something to your friend and a random stranger came up and was like “haha but that was /p right...?”

can i ship c!bee duo?

mmm. i’m not sure on this one. they are canonically married and very flirtatious, but the ccs don’t like being shipped and they’re close enough to being the ccs that actively shipping might be against boundaries.

can i treat c!bee duo as romantic?

yes. literally just don’t be weird about it. it’s not that hard! you can understand that two characters are husbands without making it weird

here’s the most important thing: boundaries. cc bee duo still haven’t told us what their preferences and canon is about this whole thing.

right now, i am assuming based on what they already show us they’re comfortable with, but! the second they give us any more info! all these opinions will change!

i am only going off what they do. i would never want to cross boundaries at all. i just wish they would make theirs a little more clear.

..... i hope that helped anon, i went way off the rails... i need to go to sleep.

#it’s late im so sorry for how much i rambled and wrote #i hope this helps you #bee duo #og post #there’s probably so many spelling errors i need to go to bed #i tried to fix some spelling so reblog this one ig #and not the old one

Tubbo: I will come to your house after work and knock on your window at 11 AM. You will not open the curtains, knowing full well what awaits you, but the knocking only grows louder, more demanding. Finally it stops, your ears ringing. You nervously let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. You're safe now. Minutes pass by and you start to relax. And then you hear a knock at the front door. Like before, you stay still and clutch the blankets around you. You try to tell your self that it's just your imagination. Maybe the milk man? But why would he come so late? Everyone else was asleep, save for Naomi who was playing video games down stairs. To your relief, the knocking stops after a few. Minutes and you breath easy once more. Until you hear a knock on your bedroom door. You don't move. It's just your imagination. She isn't here. She can't be here. You tell yourself, shutting your eyes and willing yourself to sleep. The knock comes again, but with horror you realize that it came from the closet inside your room. You know that you have no choice. You get up, climbing out of bed with shaking limbs. You walk to the closest, trembling, and holding back the tears threatening to spill over your porcelain cheeks. You hesitate with your hand over the closet handle. Maybe it's just your imagination? She's not really there. You can go to sleep and laugh it off in the morning. Your naive thoughts are cut off by another, more demanding knock on the closet door, inches from your face. You know what you have to do. You open the closet door, and there she stands. Chuck e cheese, the mouse looms over you in the dim light. It's soulless eyes boor into you. It raises its arms, and you flinch as it begins to floss at lightning speed. Tears spill over your cheeks. This is the last thing you'll ever see.

Ranboo: Wait, Chuck e cheese’s pronouns are she/her? Trans Chuck e cheese? Good for her.

Bad: Would you like something to drink? *They opened the fridge* We have water, milk, juice, spiders, Dr. Pepper-

Another delicate thing about fake ships. (I'm not talking about our YiZhan. They are real. For better or worse certain (dangerous) evidence have reached public eyes. We all know it, many have seen it). But certain ppl new to c dramas might not know that actor CP is just part of the show. I didn't know when I started. Then those people invest a lot of time $ and emotion into that CP believing it's real. And get the rug pulled from under. It's unfair to those naive ppl and it harms certain ppl. Like it or not some get really invested. To hurt them is cruel and triggering. It can feel like rejection and I really wish actors wouldn't partake in this. To profit off ppl's beliefs is cruel. Again. NOT yizhan, two men in a very real situation.

These are in reference to a previous post. More under cut.

Discussion of fake ships, fandom rivalries and insecurities around whether BJYXSZD.

Anonymous asked:

Semi agree that I don't follow other CP. but when others do fake cp and claim "evidence" even when it is flimsy. It makes me question myself and I hate that. There's so much hard evidence for xz and web. When others have "evidence" too and it seems so forced and fake, not to mention copied from yizhan, idk it makes me feel bad. Like maybe we're all crazy. I wish other dramas didn't do that. Be real. Don't fake it. The other men have gf's. It's just derivative and I think that's why ppl get offended. Web and xz seem serious about their life together and for others to profit of their realness... It just makes me question it. If we have evidence and those fans truly believe they do too... Either we are all right, or maybe we are all wrong. And I hate to deny web and xz. So it's hurtful. I hope someone can understand my feelings.

Sorry for the grouping of messages but I don't want to give this too much airtime because it can lead to hurt feelings from people who support other ships, and because this isn't what my blog is about. It's about GG and DD.

I try not to judge anyone harshly when it comes to fan service and CP marketing. It's a cutthroat industry and I think we can all see that. But I feel that making a CP seem real just to profit off of people for a while and then breaking their hearts... it's not something I personally feel comfortable with. It strikes me as unnecessarily cruel.

However, we don't know what's in people's contracts so we should be careful about judging anyone or being nasty. In the end people are just doing their jobs, whether we like it or not. And some fans enjoy it. Live and let live.

As for other actors being 'derivative' of GGDD, I completely disagree. It's not like GG and DD invented the CP. The whole concept was there long before them, and will likely be there long after. Even in cases where there were similarities to what GG and DD did, I don't think it's something to get worked up about. We don't own GG and DD's interactions as some sort of IP we need to protect.

I said this back when people were fan fighting over the BL CPs, that it's ridiculous and awful to fight over something like this. We should all be on the same side. BL stories are not easy to create or air in China - we all know that more now than we did back then - and the more BL stories that get aired, the better for everyone. The better for the market, the better for fans, the better for queer people too.

History has shown that cultural shifts can lead to legislative shifts. As queer stories become more mainstream, the demand for rights - and the public's appetite for seeing those rights observed - becomes stronger, and positive change happens. It is, in fact, likely a big part of why these types of stories are being cracked down on. Some people don't want that change.

If we care about these issues we would do well to support all BL projects and everyone who is willing to stick their neck out and make those projects happen, not just our particular biases.

Not only that, but fan wars are harmful to GG and DD, harmful to any celebrity whose fans are 'out of control'. I have been preaching this for a couple of years now, but here we are in 2021 and what have we seen? Artists being cracked down on for the behavior of their fans. Rules coming out to clearly state this, hinting at harsh penalties.

So please, people - take it to heart. There is no war that you don't CHOOSE to create. This isn't a competition. There is room for everyone to have fun, be happy and enjoy their fandoms in whatever way they choose.

Everyone has the right to their perspective. I said this the other day. No one is obligated to believe BJYXSZD, and similarly, no one is obligated to disagree or debunk. If people are enjoying their CP, that's their right. Let's not get smug and dickish about things. We aren't in competition.

One other thing I want to add: We should be willing to question ourselves, question our evidence and re-evaluate things from time to time. It's just part of being a rational human. Insecurity about what is 'real' and what isn't - all of this is pointless and IMNSHO, unhealthy.

Bad feelings should never make us into bad people. Bad feelings should never make us do or say bad things.

Insecurity is understandable at times. We're all human. But I urge fans to try not to take everything so personally, and to not get our identities as human beings wrapped up in whether BJYXSZD.

Whether GG or DD are real or not - this doesn't make me crazy or stupid or naive. I believe based on the evidence I have. If I turn out to be wrong about it - ME, who has this blog and spends an enormous amount of time on GGDD - if it turns out to all be wrong, my life won't shatter. I won't curl up in an embarrassed ball and die.

I get a hell of a lot of enjoyment out of this fandom. That enjoyment is real. My love for GGDD is real. I am a person in the world. I don't live and die over whether BJYXSZD. Neither should any of you.

My love for GGDD doesn't come from them, it comes from me. It's not about them, it's about me. It's about my heart and my appetite for sweetness and connection. It's about my politics and what I stand for and support. It's about everything inside me.

If their relationship was proved to be fake, or if it was to end, that wouldn't change a thing for me. I would still be the same person with the same heart. I would still have the same values and drives. I might be sad, of course, or even hurt a bit depending on the circumstances, but it wouldn't change who I am or what I'm about.

I will never be ashamed of loving someone. I will never be ashamed of sharing my heart or letting something touch my heart.

I won't be taking any more asks on this subject unless they bring a substantially fresh perspective that hasn't already been expressed. I apologize in advance if you send me something that I don't reply to/post. This is just a boundary I have with asks like this.

Why do women always have to explain themselves, what they do, what they think, what they say and basically everything they do?

This happened to me today.

I'm on this kind of gc and they were talking about a celebrity that has been exposed due to pedophilia and allegedly rape, so ofc everyone was defending him except me. I stood up to defend the victims and three of them started to attack me.

They got offended because i said men are trash and that most of us had suffered sexist violence of any kind.

And they started to ask me if i had any male friends and why would i say men are trash. They deadass made me explain that i have friends that are rape survivors, my sister who is also a domestic violence survivor and me myself who had suffered violence in the street when i was seven years and a teenager boy grabbed his genitals in front of me and told me to suck his dick.

And they still didn't have enough with that, and they didn't stop until i had a panic attack and were crying.

The worst thing? Only one girl of all the people(theres like 26 ppl there) defended me. And the ones that apologized did it but in such a bad way, that i feel like they were being obligated to.

I also got told that i had "a resentment with men" and that they were hoping that one day i can "realize" not all men are trash after i told everyone about my horrible experiences with men.

Everyone was there attacking the victims of the celebrity i mentioned and no one was attacking each other until i said what i said. I didnt even badmouth any participant of the chat of talk in any rude way to them, i was always respectful because i saw them as some kind of friends, but i guess i had it coming since one day i also argued with some girl from there who started to question my lesbianism because i have a male idol and when i got mad and sad, she told me i was being too sensitive about it and that she wasn't straight too(prob was bisexual or something), so i think she felt like she had the right(just because she isn't straight) to put in doubt the sexuality of someone just because of the artists they listen to.

This needs to stop.

No woman needs to explain to people why they hate men or why they dont feel secure around them. We dont need to explain anything of what we do.

Why are, always the victims, the ones that need to explain everything?

Why nobody asks men why they hate us so much? Why they kill us? Why they rape us? Why they consume pornography? Why they consume prostitution? Why they kidnap us?

Why is always us?

what your horror movie crush says about you!

This is a new series im doing lol send a message to my inbox for the next movie!

And why not start with the original Scream cast! btw this is purely my opinion, jokes and jabs... so don’t take it too seriously

Billy Loomis: This is the obvious choice I feel like. If you’re not too deep on slasher tumblr I’d say you’re a little basic but I can see the appeal. If you are deep on slasher tumblr you are DEDICATED to this man. No one comes above. I also feel like you kinda have a savior complex... like “i can fix him” type beat. It’s also possible that you get offended when ppl say that he’s overhyped and not that hot. You also like a little toxicity because it adds “spice.” You’re also submissive. 

Stuart Macher: You’re definitely a little manic. That or you’re either super shy who likes the hyper guys who brings you out of your shell or you’re wanting someone to match your energy. You also think Stu is underrated and perhaps that Billy ppl need to give the hype to Stu for once. You find his parts so goddamn funny/entertaining too, like he has so little screen time so you enjoy every bit you get. He’s also your emotional support himbo. You’d probably thank him for stabbing you and find his ghostface scenes super hot. You like roleplay (yes, in the sexual way.) You also drink monster energy. 

Randy Meeks: You are so soft. Like you might not look like it but you at least act like it. You can’t get over his death either and you’re a little mad at Wes Craven for allowing that. Anyway you usually go for nerdy guys one way or another, you wouldn’t mind if they simped for you. You also tend to make the first move when it comes to anything. You might like him also bc you’re a horror fanatic and you’re a little elitist because you’ve watched so many. You also probably have his mini speech about rules memorized. You might be a little freaky but not as much as Billy and Stu ppl (or ppl that like both.)

Sidney: I’m either in love with you or wanna be your best friend. Ppl who have crushes on Sidney have my heart. You like to go endgame with whoever you’re with but if you happen to end up with a pretty boy like Billy you have definitely been a little worried he would try to kill you (but lets be real you kind of want it to happen. the 90s tried demonizing hot men and it didn’t work. it just made horndogs like us on tumblr come out to find each other.) You like to keep things simple and you most likely stick to a routine. You’ve also thought about what you would do as a final girl in a horror movie numerous times. I’m getting vanilla vibes. I’m going to assume you’re a hufflepuff, too. 

Tatum Riley: You guys are rare honestly, but you’re really cool people. Tate is truly an underrated character and so pretty. You’re also pretty fluid with just about anything and want relationships to be chill with no pressure. Before you had a crush on her you probably wanted to be her. Which brings on the point you’re probably a lesbian. You also love her wardrobe and that leads me to believe that y’all have a really good sense of style. Getting earth sign vibes. Random I know but I get that sense. Your sun or venus is probably an earth sign. 

Dewey Riley: Also kind of rare. You like a hopeless romantic. In a way you’re cheesy and you like cheesy but you want someone who’s actually dedicated to you. You also really like angst in fanfiction, idk argument scenes just really make you feel something at 2am on a Tuesday night. If you’re acab you’ll only accept Dewey and Charlie Swan as cops, no one else. You’ve probably watched the You Cannot Kill David Arquette documentary. Also vanilla vibes here.

Gale Weathers: I don’t believe that you exist honestly. If you’re number one crush is on Gale you probably like Courtney Cox in everything that she’s in and you’ll defend Gale’s bangs in Scream 3 with your life. You either hate her and Dewey’s relationship or love it. No in between. You probably also major in journalism and you’re one of the hardcore reporters. No remorse. Just coverage.

(Sorry in advance that this is long) I just stumbled upon your post about all the recent Sebastian drama spanning from July and I just want to say thank you for being one of the few people on the internet that makes sense. I’m Asian and I wasn’t a fan of Sebastian’s (I liked Bucky, but never looked into him) when the whole girlfriend thing happened, and even then I just remember thinking "this is so fucking stupid." And even now with the whole Buddha thing, I just think it's so shallow and 1/?

damaging to respond to something so innocently-intentioned and ultimately not a big deal with the same backlash that one would with an actual hate crime or legitimate prejudice. It blurs the line of what racism actually is, it pisses people off, and it pushes them away from whatever "cause" these armchair activists are trying to support. Sure, I can see how the photo was mildly disrespectful, as someone who grew up around Buddhism. But is it worth all this outrage? Absolutely not. He didn’t 2/?

commit a hate crime, he didn’t throw around slurs, he didn’t even do anything outrageous with the statue (ie. flip it off or throw it, etc). These people are acting like he fucking killed somebody. I didnt even think "I'm offended" when I saw it, all I thought was "twitter isn't going to like this." I feel like that says a lot, honestly. I've always had such a big problem with social media activists, and this whole situation is just another example of why. These people don't care about the 3/?

issues they're relentlessly attacking people over. They just want to feel like they’re a good person and show everyone else that they're great because they care enough to make an incredibly hateful tweet in the name of a social issue. It's all so self-righteous, and the way they're doing it is unbelievably harmful in terms of actual progress for actual social issues. The whole point of activism is trying to educate people and get them on your side. Ever since social media activism, I've seen 4/?

more people than ever say they feel less and less inclined to be involved because these “activists” are actually dividing people and alienating anyone that doesn’t already think like them by being aggressive and rude and unforgiving. Especially for stuff that literally doesn’t matter, such as this whole Sebastian debacle. I wish people understood that if they’re posting stuff that only people who already agree with them would like, then there’s literally no point to what they’re doing. 5/5

i'm gonna respond to this final one cause it's mostly about what i glossed over here, when i said i fundamentally disagree with how stan/fandom approaches activism. but yes, i largely agree. i'm a woc - i've mentioned that before in an old entirely unrelated ask, but i didn't bring it up for any of this cause i generally believe that you should determine whether or not you agree with a point by the strength of my reasoning, rather than being worried you're going to be perceived as racist/sexist for disagreeing with a woc.

i think the disproportionate response is smth i'm struggling with - i think we can generally agree that even if you think he's fucked up in the past, he's done nothing to warrant a year (and possibly more, judging by the twt accounts of the ppl at the center of this) long campaign against him. it's disproportionate to put so much focus on just him when like you said, there are so many issues out there that genuinely needs attention that they don't ever look at unless it's handed to them in the form of already viral twts, so it is really hard for me to take at face value ppl presenting this out of all things as their demonstration of allyship.

and yeah, i basically had the exact same reaction to the picture. i saw it, went, oh ppl are gonna make a big deal about this, and then was kinda surprised when no one said anything for a while. the same ppl who fawned over it for hours until they were told it was problematic did a complete 180, which isn't a bad way to approach smth if you're told you're wrong, except in their case, they didn't know it was problematic so they're in the clear, but he must have posted it with full intent to offend.

and to your point about the point of social media activism, this is actually a topic i've been struggling with for the past few years. sm activism is increasingly useless because with certain exceptions where being loud is what helps best, everything is treated the exact same way. apart from literally donating money, if your approach to activism is the exact same for every single issue, which is just publicly being loud, you're not doing anything.

but i think this also comes from the way we've learned activism on social media, which largely comes in neatly packaged phrases you get in a viral posts/twts; "silence is complicity" "cultural appropriation" "your feelings are valid" "hold ppl accountable" etc. but these threads don't have space for nuance, and there's no critical thinking applied after ppl read them.

cultural appropriation originally entered the public conversation as a way for ppl to be cognizant that multiculturalism isn't a free for all. because of historical and cultural context (which varies country to country!), not everything in a different culture will be for you too. sometimes it'll only be for you if you're invited, sometimes only if you're invited by specific ppl of that community. but we've gotten to this place where cultural appropriation is now just segregationist, but woke, and you end up with stuff like this, where you actually end up hurting the group you're trying to support:

this was also a part of my issue about july - i didn't actually think what ale did was cultural appropriation. she didn't wear it in a disrespectful way, she didn't try to claim it as her own - the thing that was a microaggression was actually of the conflation of jpn/chinese cultures, but that doesn't fall neatly under the buzzword of cultural appropriation for you to explain when someone asks why you're sending this specific woman death threats!

and it's not just this issue where we're kind of going backwards. if you're in the lgbt community it's not uncommon to see theory now that borderlines on homophobic. gen z is especially obsessed with posting pronouns publicly, which originally was supposed to normalize it so it'd be easier for those that want to have them but are scared, but now they use as a shorthand for whether or not someone is a bigot. if your assumption is that everyone but bigots has a public pronoun, you're going to be forcing a lot of ppl to misgender themselves, or come out when they're not ready, all to not be deemed Problematic. glaad actually did a survey that showed 18-34 years old are becoming more uncomfortable with the lgbt community, and while it doesn't say why, i figure stuff like this doesn't help.

and it's the same when it comes to activism should be about educating/getting ppl onto your side. it's clearly not now, and just largely about your own appearances. this is a good thread about why i'm not a huge fan of the whole silence is complicity idea wrt to sm, but basically it's just this:

but at the end of the day i don't have an answer for any of this. it took us years to get to this point, and it'll probably take even longer to realize we've gone too far on issues, if there ever is a reckoning for it. i don't know if that'll ever happen fully in fandom spaces - i think ppl like the ones that started this are very aware they're using this as a cudgel; they have no problem with this behavior in their faves, and they regularly exhibit it themselves. i also think there is too much fear of being "cancelled" or at least piled on for hours having abuse hurled at you if you disagree.

anyways i could go on for a bit, but we're not solving anything today. i don't really have a neat wrap up for this either, but i hope you have a good day, anon.
