tsk i’m DYING to hear your play-by-play on which worm characters have dumb fanon interpretations
UH OH YOU JUST OPENED THE FLOODGATES so the short answer is pretty much every major character but I am a high-effort bitch so let's do this: Taylor Hebert: jfc, I could probably hit a word count limit talking about Taylor alone. First you have the dumb as shit TINO (Taylor In Name Only) phenomenon where people just straight up SI as Taylor but pretend it's her and she's basically a different person wearing Taylor's skin like an ill-fitting suit. Then there's the Memetic Escalator Taylor interpretation where Taylor's Warlord era characterization is flanderized so hard that she turns into her world's version of Doomguy where her response to literally everything is ultra violence, mutilation and torture and she can totally beat up anyone you guys hahah coin sock goes brrrrr you go brutalize those totally deserving victims queen. And then there's shy, stuttering, soft spoken "useless lesbian" Taylor which is not as common but still, fuckin straight men and the way they infantize gay women. Taylor is perhaps the most consistently inconsistent characterization I've seen in fandom, it's fucking wild Lisa Wilbourn: Has two fanon settings. Taylor's best friend who exists solely to give exposition and get the "Stop Coil" subplot rolling (occasional gay subtext will be added in a way that feels fetishy) Or, the evil bitchy blonde who is first target of the SI. I constantly wonder if the people who write the frankly masturbatory SI's are aware that we can tell they're still bitter about girls not dating them in highschool. Brian: basically does not exist in fic aside from the occasional joke cause racism and also because of how popular wlw ships are in Worm fandom. you deserve better dude Alec: has a few token appearances in wormfic fandom that usually have him as the comic relief alongside Aisha, which might actually be for the best considering he's a rapist and the Worm fandom's uhhhh tendencies. Moving on- Aisha: prankster girl that alt!Taylor will adopt as a younger sibling. hopefully is not part of the totally-not-a-harem considering she's even younger then the rest of these teens Bitch: Another girl to fall into alt!Taylor's definitely-not-a-harem, but with more butch tendencies. Basically has no personality in fanon outside of her dogs Parian: SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SHOP FFS also another member of Taylor's totally-not-a-harem Flechette: yeah it's a harem Sophia: holy shit you think Brian's bad? The racism in pretty much every fanon depiction of Sophia is off the charts. Hyper-violent, super edgy, "predator/prey" speech inbound, will get humilated/killed in some new, supposedly satisfying but actually just deeply uncomfortable way, probably throw in some E88 shit too just because Emma: again, do the writers know we can tell they're still malding over the fact that the pretty girls in highschool didn't date them? fanon emma is pretty much a cardboard cut out of whoever was mean to the author. something something bitches three Madison: in fanon has a C53 fetish, occasionally is also Browbeat. don't ask why Victoria: gets hit with the blonde stereotypes even harder then Lisa, "Collateral Damage Barbie" is one of the phrases that activates my flight or fight responses. she basically is an entirely different character in fanon. bubbly dumb blonde girl with a massive temper and well other sexist bullshiit Amy: I hate even touching this character with a ten foot pole but basically is hit with the "soft useless lesbian" trope hard enough to make her into a completely separate person from her canon self. whether or not this is a good thing is still up for debate Carol: in fanon, an evil bitch who exists solely to bully Amy Mark: who? The rest of New Wave: cannon fodder for Leviathan Danny Hebert: literally stale milk instead of a personality, will probably die before the fic is over but we won't care because the author did not care either Armsmaster: hahaha robotman go brrrr or is an arrogant self-aggrandizing shit, can't interact with people without Dragon helping him 24/7 Miss Militia: fanon bat'd into team mom,
idk where this came from considering her first instinct upon seeing children is to pull out a gun holy shit wait is she actually Taylor's true mom- Velocity: canon fodder for levi Battery & Assault: sitcom wife, sitcom husband! please ignore how fucked up this relationship is if you look at it for more than two seconds Dauntless: haha armsy is JEALOUS also cannon fodder for levi Triumph: who? The BB wards in general tend to be incredibly bland, the only ones who have fanon personalities of note are Clockblocker and Vista. The former being such a huge prankster that every other line is a joke- or him complaining about how BULLSHIT Alt!Taylor's powers are. Vista is an angry kiddo who says that Shadow Stalker doesn't count as being a girl on the team The E88: no personality for any of them except that Kaiser is noble and really isn't that bad and also Purity did nothing wrong totally she's just a hot mom trying to do her best, please ignore how she exclusively targets characters of color and literally calls white criminals more civilized than miniorities- the worm fandom has something of a nazi problem i hate it here The ABB: racism and honorable samurai lung even though that has no canon basis so again, racist stereotypes The Slaughterhouse 9: This one makes me just as sad as the Lisa shit because dear god this is such a good cast of villains that fanon completely flattens to bowling pins for the Alt!Taylor of the week to mow down, why does this fandom suck so much. Anyway Jack is just the Joker, Crawler is masochistic, etc i'm moving on now The PRT/Protectorate as a whole: They are an evil paramilitary organization that pressgangs kids into signing up to become child soldiers, and somehow at the same time, they are a bunch of idiots who listen to the PR department and have stupid things like RULES that prevent capes from COMMITTING VIOLENCE. Being called "the biggest gang of all" is common and some shit like "at least the criminals are honest" is a likely statement. Cauldron: whoo boy this one really boils my blood but fanon Cauldron are just a bunch of evil idiots who can't even tie their shoelaces. basically a bunch of dudebros are upset that women run the world and that two of them essentially have "I win" powers so they have to make them lose to their SI- er, Taylor in fics so they can assuage their masculinity, which totally isn't pathetic Scion: Is at once the end all be all of worm you can't write a wormfic without scion or else it's TOTALLY MEANINGLESS because what is the point of a story if all the characters are going to DIE in a few years anyway, and at the same time is incredibly easy to defeat- this ties into how Cauldron is stupid. Scion Truthers pls shut up and go read something else okay I think that's everyone I would apologize but the only thing I'm sorry for is how messy this is

JJBA for the meme
haven’t heard of it | absolutely never watching | might watch | currently watching | dropped | hated it | meh | a positive okay | liked it | liked it a lot! | loved it | a favorite a big one
don’t watch period | drop if not interested within 2-3 episodes | give it a go, could be your thing i think most people know this but each part is really different from the last so even if part one isn’t your thing you might really like the later parts - but you should still watch part one  | 5 star recommendation i love it so much tho
fav characters: josuke is probably my favorite jojo i gotta be honest i just like part four a lot in general but i also think josuke is definitely the coolest and funniest and and kindest (healing abilities obviously) jojo, maybe also the cleverest aside from his dad. he also sets rohan’s house on fire so that’s a bonus
i also love rohan even though he sucks and picks fights with kids and licks spiders because he’s such a queen and he spent like 20 grand to recreate a set from Pretty Woman (1990) starring Julia Roberts inside his house
Mista is probably my favorite Passione team member sex pistols are seriously one of my favorite stands they can redirect bullets but Mista still ends up shooting himself all the time when he faces any stand that has any defensive capabilites whatsoever. He’s also the best because he stops at critical moments to feed cured meats to sex pistols
WAMUU
WAMUU best jojo antagonist, best anime antagonist of all time idc he’s the best
Bruno is obviously great but that’s also most of his personality
R.E.O. Speedwagon
least fav characters: jotaro i honestly have kind of a love/hate relationship with because on one hand he sucks as a character but he also has the coolest most overpowered stand and its just stupid satisfying to see some complete bullshit enemy just get ora’d to death. jotaro’s whole thing of being able to overcome basically any obstacle or ability through sheer willpower and like literally bending the laws of the universe feels like the natural culmination of the attitude the early series takes towards the increasingly absurd capabilities of its characters and its ultimate focus on the triumph of the will which is what makes part three and jotaro so important and popular but it’s also kind of lame at the same time. jotaro and star platinum in part three basically just operate under the pretense of “whatever you do i can do better” which is definitely a thing that they and araki explored well but that still feels kinda lame to meand then when he grows up he’s a bit of a better character
but still lame
uh idk who am i supposed to say? Kira? Really liked David Bowie as an anime villain tbh i think he stands out as a main antagonist compared to his predecessors because unlike Dio who had an aggrandizing self interest to gain power over others and make them do his bidding and the Pillar Men who want to rule over all of humanity and even have a sense of warrior’s honor in the case of Wamuu, Kira is just a slippery slimy gross dude who wants to hole up in his house and be a serial killer and put severed hands on sandwiches and go to his job every day and not be bothered by anyone like that’s a normal fucking thing to do. He doesn’t even interact with others enough to force them to work for him like his dad is recruiting the enemy stand users without his knowledge which is maybe why part 4 feels vacant to many people because of who Kira is as a villain. Dio got slimy twisted fucks to work for him, and Kira is basically one of those slimy twisted fucks but who would obviously never work for any one else so he’s stuck on his own. But I think the proportionality of Kira as a lesser villain as part of the overall scaling back in intensity and the stakes of the conflict in part 4 compared to previous parts is something that enamors me of diu. We got a lot of interesting human characters in part 4 because of it and I think it was a good direction for the series to go after part 3
Rohan (again)
fav relationship: okyasu and josugay
josuke has a good dynamic with jotaro his nephew (lol) and I like how his relationship with Rohan progresses as a result of the burning of the Pretty Woman furniture
Polnareff and Kakyoin just for the handshake
Jospeh/Caesar
fav moment:“You can’t pay back what you owe.... with money.”
ROAD ROLLER DA
joseph pretending to be DIO in the ambulance
“I feel completely refreshed”
headcanons/theories: I already wrote a lot about what i think the show is about and where is succeeds but i also know this: my stand would be Kid Charlemagne like the Steely Dan song and it would allow me to manipulate crystals
unpopular opinion: jonathan is boring. this might be a popular opinion but I feel like i’m not supposed to say it lol. part 1 is way more fun because of Dio and speedwagon and zeppeli than it is because of jonathan.
how’d you find it: i’m on the internet
random thoughts: i should buy the bruno vans with the zipppppppppers on them those are dope

This new BPH2 post, she really can’t let go of 1D or the past, can she?
The amount of drivel...
------
Tumblr media
------
Harry was portrayed as a lothario BEFORE July 2011? By whom? Doing what? He didn’t date anyone until C*roline (sorry, I make one exception for censoring names and that’s for child groomers) in like, November 2011, there were jokes about him liking Madison, the girl from WMYB but that wouldn’t be until August anyway. Articles about various 1D members dating or hooking up with fans were run of the mill, but that was for all of them. Cher Lloyd got linked to literally every member except Louis, and that’s because he had a girlfriend. Harry was seen as flirty and fans joked around about his unfortunate pussygate moment, but clearly, he brought that on himself, and it was after X Factor anyway
The only possible “Harry is a lothario” push she could be talking about is that jokey video where Harry is seen as having overlapping dates with all the girls at boot camp, but it’s obviously tongue in cheek, it finishes with Harry going on a date with Wagner, a 50 something year old Portuguese (?) man. And this was BEFORE the band was put together. Why would Liam, or anyone, have to be seen as a lothario anyway? Confused
Louis and Hannah’s relationship wasn’t “spotlighted” they were just dating... so she was there... and they talked about it on the show I think once, maybe twice. None of the other boys had significant others at the beginning. When Zayn started dating one of the girls from Belle Amie (a girl group that was competing there as well), it was actually spotlighted, same when he dated Rebecca Ferguson
She says “switching 1Direction to One Direction” to seem knowledgeable, it’s hilarious. One Direction’s twitter account was created on October 29th 2010 and it was already stylized “OneDirection,” this is just a “the more you know” bullet point she learned that she decided to throw in there to get more credibility. Anyone that’s been a fan for long already knew this, it was stated as a fact in one of their books, but don’t ask me which one now cuz it’s been 7 years. Anyways, what an important marketing decision, Kati, it surely affected a lot of the outcome of the band that would be known as “1D” by 90% of its fanbase anyway
“But there was no larger strategy until July 2011″
NO SHIT SHERLOCK. U wanna know why? Because they didn’t have music out until August... you really are some fresh brand of stupid, huh. Who would waste money in marketing campaigns months and months before having any music to sell? All of them were heavily involved in social media anyway, and with strategic performances here and there, some interviews, a very well received book, signing days, and several other nuggets, they managed to build a stronger fanbase and a lot of anticipation by the time they released WMYB. There was definitely marketing, but, no, of course there wasn’t an overarching marketing campaign for a band with no music for six months.. Just like there isn’t, idk, a hot air balloon business for cheetahs..
And that’s how she starts.. everything after that is drivel and more and more drivel. Very little of it makes any sort of sense or is backed up by any facts other than her wanting things to be that way
Such as this entire paragraph which has me in fucking stitches
-----
Tumblr media

Listen, I’m sure more older people became fans as the band became more popular, and I’m sure there are some men sprinkled in between, but PROFOUND DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT? Except Harry and Zayn, who have cultivated an older skewing demographic, the core fan base is STILL 13-18 year old girls. And even Harry and Zayn have large percentages of their fan base in that age group still. She really thinks the tumblr side of fandom is in any way indicative of the larger fandom, it’s fascinating to read someone that’s supposed to be old and wise, who’s a mother and a wife, be so blatantly wrong and so delusional. Not even in the tumblr side of fandom now are the fans mostly older with established careers. That’s just the big Larries, and big Larries are what? 1 in 2,000 One Direction blogs? (and I doubt at least 50% of their “well established careers” are real, but I’m not into doxxing people so I’ll take their word for it)
I almost lost my mind when she called tumblr tinhat wank “objective debate and evidence-based discussion.” OBJECTIVE! O B J E C T I V E? bulletprooflarry, the person that left tumblr for a month when Harry announced his solo career because she had been saying for ages he’d never go solo and couldn’t handle being so OBJECTIVELY wrong, is talking about OBJECTIVE DISCUSSION???? Kati you wouldn’t know what actual objective discussion is if it slapped you repeatedly with something smelly while yelling “I am objective discussion” as a plane writes in the sky “objective discussion is slapping you in the face” and some sirens wailed in the distance
Not even gonna go there with “evidence-based” .. I’m sure ur tag “all the reasons ever needed” filled with cropped and edited gifs of 17 yo Harry and 19 yo Louis looking at each other for 0.03 seconds in slow mo would hold in court very well

H I L A R I O U S. Never seen before! Novel!!!! Only happening because of “this new smarter fandom with professional experience”! No other tinhat fandom doubts the protagonists of their conspiracy theory handle their social media! That’s just the new smarter fandom filled with professional men and women in 1D. Crisscolfer, Kaylor, Supernatural, Camren, you name it. Any CT mined fandom where social media is used, believes the exact same bullshit, Kati. U R NOT SPECIAL. You’re not smarter. The Larrie fandom didn’t “wise up” it tinhatted up. If you left your conspiracy bubble for three seconds and waltzed into literally any other corner of the entertainment world, you’d see that
After this, she drivels on and on about “pics or it didn’t happen” and shit like that. None of it is special to this fandom, Kati. None of it. What you’re describing is tinhatting. It has nothing to do with “this new smarter fandom.” Unless of course you believe in every other celeb conspiracy theory out there and how all the CT fandoms have also, coincidentally, become “smarter”

This is equal parts self centered, arrogant, delusional, and wrong. 1D’s team did a ton of things to get new fans and it succeeded largely at it. 1D was one of the largest bands in terms of fanbase in the world. It got away with selling millions upon millions of records and selling out stadiums without getting huge songs. To this day a vast majority of the general public only knows 2 or 3 One Direction songs (WMYB, SOML, some will know Drag Me Down). I think it was too big for the teams it had, for sure, but that’s just logic speaking for itself. What other clients the caliber of 1D did Simon Jones, Modest, or Syco have? The only big fish in the game was Columbia. And at times it definitely showed in a lot of things. But to say that they were playing catch up for five years and had no plan whatsoever, is simply disingenuous. And so self aggrandizing.. Recognizing that they had their failures? Cool. Sitting oatur computer at home and pretending that u kknow better how to handle it? Demented
-------
Tumblr media

You know when you read something that’s so wrong that you don’t even know where to start? Yeah..
You were lied about the band getting back together. One by one they have admitted to it, even if not in so many words. First Zayn said he didn’t even like being in 1D ever. Then Harry refused to ever confirm the band would get back together. You had Niall, Liam, and Louis preaching 18 months/2 years, but that soon changed. Niall got tired of being asked a few months into his promo in 2017, said “idk, man, idk! someday!” and asked not to be asked again. Liam lasted a little longer, but he literally said “ask the others, idk, man, idk!” a few months back. The only one standing is Louis, and I firmly believe it’s simply because he hasn’t done as much promo as Niall and Liam, who must’ve reached the point of exhaustion. His defeated “idk, man, idk” is happenning soon. I can feel it in my bones
There’s no leadership in 1DHQ because there is no 1DHQ because there is no 1D. The band is broken up. Gone. Donezo. There’s no one to steer one topic to the next
It’s not the “lack of leadership” which lead the fans to create “microfandoms.” It’s the fact that every member has gone solo..... that created microfandoms. You’re over 40, Kati, please, for the love of God, stop hanging onto a boyband that’s been dead for four years. This is so pathetic to read. Fans less than half your age cried about their lost band for a few days and got over it. You’re still throwing hissy fits on tumblr and talking about it as if it wasn’t deceased

Just... no

Louis DOES NOT have the most hardcore fans inside of 1D. He has the most LARRIES. His fanbase is almost entirely conformed by conspiracy theorists, that’s why it seems so hardcore to you. This is not a positive. As a fan of Louis, I can assure you it is not. This doesn’t translate well into literally anything. Y’all are a nuisance and ruin everything. You’re not fans of Louis, you don’t even LIKE HIM. You despise everything about him and everything he is. Everything he does. All the things that have shaped him. You call everything he says a lie and mock his desperate attempts for you to LISTEN TO HIM. That’s the exact opposite of a hardcore fanbase, you shithead. That’s as fickle as it gets, it can (and does) get lost any second. The smallest of his moves can set y’all off and wipe thousands of you from his ranks. Because none of you like even a little of who he really is. Y’all are gonna leave him sooner or later. It’s just a matter of when, not if. Hardcore my fucking ass
What has Harry done to make older white men think he’s cool? Paint his nails? Wear glitter and flowery suits? Sing about men? Proclaim at every chance he gets that he LOVES his mostly female/young audience? That he thinks they’re amazing and how much he appreciates them? What is it that appeals older white men? All the rainbows in everything he does? The only thing “older white men” might like about Harry is his music and its inspiration, that’s where it starts and where it ends, but everything he’s done and said since he’s gone solo is prone to prejudice them against him. He hasn’t lifted a finger to appeal to them. His team didn’t even push his songs on Adult/Contemporary radios (Niall’s did, but I don’t see you talking about that). Yeah, Hall Of Fame will expose him to that audience as well, but you know who else did Hall Of Fame? Miley Cyrus. Was she trying to appeal to older white men? Was that Jannelle Monae’s goal while inducing Janet Jackson? He’s co chairing the MET Gala in a couple of weeks. How’s that for a white older male audience? Being a Gucci model under Alessandro Michele must’ve helped a lot, I’m sure 🙄

Thoughts on Water Fasting
Okay, so I was just introduced today to a concept called "Water Fasting". This is where you just drink lots of water and don't eat for an extended period of time. Like as long as a month or even TWO MONTHS. I am not really an expert in medical knowledge, anatomy, or nutrition, but I'm pretty sure I can least several reasons why this is a bad solution for weight loss. However, if you do have any professional expertise in such an area, I absolutely encourage you to reblog this and leave your input along with your credentials potentially.
First off: Your body needs more than just calories. You need proteins, you need vitamins, you need minerals, and all sorts of things that just water won't provide. I suppose you could retrofit this problem if you drink mineral water or vitamin water, but idk. I personally think in my not very educated opinion that a better alternative (not necessarily great for you though) is to eat like just vegetables and chia seeds. That way you get your other needs, and at least some caloric content but not much. I suppose my “super-vegetarian” idea might be sensible if you are someone who is severely obese and needs to lose weight in order to get a surgery that you need. Again, I am in no way a professional. Everything I'm saying here is probably as much opinion as it is fact. 
Second: Your body like does stuff when it is not getting enough calories. The rest of your body and organs are unlike your brain and do not work based on cognition and intellect, and work almost entirely off of autonomic functions. However, due to things like the placebo effect, your brain may have some influence on things your body does, that however does not completely negate what I just said. So calories are really just a measure of energy. A calorie is equal to 4184 joules. Energy is needed in order to create power, do work, or apply kinetic force. That's just like really basic physics. So based on your metabolic rate, your body decides what to do with the caloric content in your food, and what kind of molecule builds up the calories. So when you stop getting calories, your body acts the same way it would if you were literally starving (starving is different from fasting I think). So it lowers its metabolic rate to save energy so that it doesn't have to consume fat reserves as rapidly. Then, once you quit fasting, your body still continues at this low metabolic for a short while, and your body actually packs more calories as fat in case you actually do starve and you need the energy later. So if you eat normally after fasting a short time, you will end up with like not much of a net weight loss/gain. However, if you do like a long water fast, yeah you'll lose plenty of fat (maybe some muscle too, and EVEN SOME ORGAN FUNCTION POTENTIALLY). But once you start eating again, you can pack on weight again at an unhealthy rate.  
Third: Rapid weight loss is bad! When you lose like a few pounds a day, for an extended period of time, resulting in significant reduction of fat, you get loose skin. Loose skin can be difficult to get rid of. Like, more difficult and tedious than just a month of your not eating food. Also, if you're trying to lose fat for cosmetic reasons and not health reasons, loose skin can be potentially as unattractive or more unattractive as simply being a fatass. This brings me to my next point.
Fourth: Do not fucking try this if you are only slightly chubby or above average! Having an extra 10 or even 20 pounds more than you need in fat isn't really too bad for your health. Certainly more healthy than nearly starving yourself! Sure, it may give you problems with your body image, and people might find you less good looking because of it. So if you are to lose weight at that point, you're really just doing it for cosmetic reasons and just losing weight in and of itself will not make you healthier. However, if you do want to look better AND be more healthy, go ahead and reduce your intake of junk food and try to eat more organic and healthy. Also, be physically active and exercise. 
Fifth: If you are seriously considering water fasting, your knowledge probably does not exceed mine. So there may be other risks that you might not foresee as the uneducated dumbass that you almost certainly are. From what I understand, doing this can aggravate a preexisting condition that you may have been previously unaware of and has not caused you problems as of yet. So like if you have Crohn's disease, IBS, kidney problems, intestinal problems, or bowel problems, it could screw up your shit for life!
Lastly: Here are some things that, yeah it might help with, but... Yes, if you are obese and it causing you life threatening health problems, this will give you results, and you can avoid getting a gastric bypass. However, you're probably better off just going with my silly "super-vegetarian" alternative idea. I've also heard that in addition to storing fat, your body also builds up toxins and free radicals, and water fasting may rid you of this. However, people who have brought this point in an attempt to aggrandize water fasting refer to this benefit as "detoxing". Your body already "detoxes", like before the things you consume even enter your bloodstream and your organ systems. That's what your liver does, and that's why you get jaundicing and feel sick and then die if your liver stops working. So if you have a healthy liver, and you aren't consuming mass quantities of junk food, your body probably isn't storing a bunch of toxins and stuff, and you aren't in need of a "detox". Most people who talk about detoxing and stuff are like the same people who believe in homeopathy and fake medicine. Besides, even if your liver isn't working adequately, your body has toxin buildups, and you're having symptoms of toxins in your body like the jaundicing and feeling sick, yeah maybe you do need some sort of detox like this. However, you're probably better off again with my "super-vegetarian" idea. Also, my super-vegetarian that I thought of pretty much on the spot after being introduced to water fasting, it's probably not the best thing, and probably not super good for you, however I'm quite sure it's superior in like every way to this stupid water-fasting shit. 
Please do reblog with things that you feel are worth mentioning, along with dangers of water fasting that I have neglected to mention, especially if you have a professional back ground! Also feel free to criticize fasting in general and providing alternatives. Thanks for reading. :)
