#it’s not a big deal but it is annoying

[zeta-in-de-walls]

On the DSMP seasons debate thingy recently.

Um yeah, DSMP fans have been using the season distinctions for years. It may be irrelevant to the CCs but well the fandom exists beyond the CCs.

It’s convenient for fans discussing the SMP. That’s why they exist.

Fandom spaces don’t need to be aligned with what the content creators believe when it comes to fandom terminology. Similarly we don’t ask the CCs for duo names, fans come to agree about them amongst themselves.

Fans don’t want to rewrite the wiki and tvtropes pages and other old posts to fit this new model. That’s not disrespectful to the CCs, the CCs opinions are valued but they’re in charge of the content, not the fandom which is it’s own entity.

#fandom terms are the fans business #it’s annoying that there’s a disconnect #but the CCs are shaking things up here by taking what already has a clear definition in the fandom ie S2 #and making it mean something else #fans would’ve have been cool with season 5 or vol 2 or even series 2 and they suggested this #it’s not a big deal but it is annoying #but the point here is that fans don’t have to swap over if they prefer the old way #dream SMP #meta #discourse

og dungeon meshi readers are so serious about this shit. thistles name was announced as sissel and 100 people fell to their knees in anguish. the anime marcille eyebag diminishment event sent people to the hospital. when they cut the scene of her taking her hair down? oh it was bad for us.

#and ive seen a few anime onlys be annoyed about people complaining but its like you dont understand its Serioussss #kae.txt #edit: I like the english name i just use dunmeshi out of familiarity. ive NEVER disliked the delish in dungeon name im nothing like yall #'its not a big deal' it is TO ME.

one piece fans' constant misgendering of yamato is so ridiculous. like, the most common argument against him being a man is that the sole reason why he identifies as male is because he kins oden super hard and wants to be him, which makes his gender identity entirely predicated on his attempt to emulate oden. that's a purposely obtuse reading of his character to me, but even if you completely buy that premise, it's like. okay? even if it were just because of oden, it wouldn't change the fact that he wants to be a man and is comfortable when he's treated as one. even his asshole villain father who HATES the guy yamato is so passionately kinning with all of his being has enough sense to recognize and respect that but some fans don't

#one piece #it's basically in a non issue on the series itself too so it's annoying how it became such a big deal on fandom #all because he is drawn with a traditionally feminine look and guys found him hot 😐

(Spoilers for 4.5 Potion event (just in case lol I know I'm late on this))

At this point, I'm really wondering if we're gonna end up getting some payoff in the future for much Paimon absolutely hates Venti for no discernible reason. Because he isn't the only person she's been kinda standoffish with over the years, but he's by far the most consistent. Like, when you consider the fact that Paimon even warmed up to Al-Haitham by the end of Sumeru, it kinda says a lot about her apparent grudge against Venti by comparison. (And I love Al-Haitham to death, but I'm not about to say he's a ray of sunshine compared to Venti.) (Event interaction-related stuff under the cut)

The contrast to how Paimon treated Diona versus how she treated Venti when they came to the potion shop together was like night and day. I've been going around to all of my friends today and describing Paimon's reaction to them as something like "Diona omg hi it's so good to see you it's been forever how have you been!!! .........And Tone-Deaf Bard." which is obviously a comedic exaggeration, but also not entirely off the mark. And all Venti did was... exist? Try to help Diona out with what she was trying to do? Yes, he's going to get free drinks out of it but he also went truly above and beyond to help Diona find a new ingredient all the way from the middle of nowhere in Dragonspine. If he didn't care about Diona's feelings and what she was trying to do, he wouldn't have done that. (But of course, Venti does care because he's a good Archon and a good person and I love him for that.)

There are genuinely very few things that make me believe in the theory that Paimon is some kind of agent from the Heavenly Principles than the fact that she hates Venti so steadfastly. There's so much evidence that connects Mondstadt and specifically Venti/the Thousand Winds to the old civilizations of Teyvat that the Heavenly Principles once destroyed. For Venti to still exist in the world and let his people make their own choices in the way that he does, of course they and by extension Paimon would hate him. Plus, even if her annoyance with him started with his tendency towards being cryptic, why would Paimon care so much about what he knows? Why does one of his voicelines imply that he doesn't want to tell the traveler things with Paimon around?? It's just so incredibly suspicious.

The scene is kinda funny though when you look at how good Venti is with kids (how helpful and kind he is to Diona despite her wanting to get rid of alcohol, which he loves) and yet one of the most childish characters in the entire game absolutely despises him. Every day I wake up and wonder what in the world Paimon's damage is and if we're going to get a justification for it, or if this is sincerely just what the writers think is funny.

#navi gets meta #genshin impact #paimon #venti #Am I biased in this? Yeah of course. BUT ALSO- #I don't even think having her have beef with him is necessarily a bad choice #It's just the fact that it's Venti of all people #He just feels like someone on the less offensive end of the character's we've met #There are so many people Paimon has warmed up to who have come off and also remained more annoying than Venti ever was imo #So it just makes me feel like there has to be some kind of reason for it #And like I guess it's not a big deal if there's no payoff I will just be sad about it :( #maybe today i'll finally make a meta tag... i feel like i should

I totally get gendered petnames like dude, sis, bro, and whatever else, and I get why some people might be confused as to why some trans people might take issue with a petname you might think is neutral. However, I do want people to remember that trans people often have different relationships with those petnames because they're gendered, and they might be uncomfortable with those connotations. A trans woman who doesn't want you to call her "dude" is probably not doing it to anger or accuse you of anything, but she might just have a negative relationship with that word.

I get that it can be hard to change habits, but it is worth it to include trans people. If a trans person in your life asks you not to use certain words, I promise they aren't trying to fuck you over or make you feel like you're under attack. They are just expressing a boundary - one that cis people also express.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #the example i gave is again just one instance of what i'm talking about #i can get why it's hard like... i use 'bro' and shit like it's a filler word and it's a habit of mine #however it isn't anybody's fault that i'm like that and i'm more than willing to stop using it for somebody #because it's like... that word is just a word to me and that means i can abandon its use at any time #and if not using it means that somebody feels included then fuck yeah i'm going to not use it #i just hear people weirdly antagonizing trans people for setting these boundaries and it's like... #...have you MET a cis person because they do the same things as trans people (it's just seen as more acceptable ig) #it IS annoying that people want to have the same conversations again and again and again #because ngl i only made this post because of the antagonism these trans people face for... no reason??? #they're literally going 'please don't call me [x]' and yet that is still too polarizing????????? HUH?????? #you'd think that that trans person like... ran a car through a bank with how they're treated but no... they're just stating a preference #and it's crazy to me because it's EASY to not do... because it's a non-action. and if you fuck up all you have to do is apologize #the hardest thing to do would be to watch what you're saying a little more but that's like... not a big deal???????

When Thunder stays with Clear Sky for a while, does Clear ever insist on referring to him as Thunder Sky?

Towards the end yes, as the final detail to Thunder Storm that Clear Sky doesn't love him. He wants to ERASE him.

If Clear Sky recognizes he's made a mistake in casting Bright Storm away with their child, he's incapable of seeing it was wrong because it was cruel. He wants what he realizes he threw away, because he now sees it has value. He wants to own his oldest son the way he wants to own the entire forest-- as a reflection of his greatness.

Anything that makes Clear Sky uncomfortable about Thunder Storm has to be sanded down. The assertiveness was the first thing, he feels insecure when he's challenged, the child must learn to follow before he may learn to lead.

The second is that leg, presenting a prosthetic as a gift (that he isnt allowed to refuse), because he can't have been wrong about the choice that killed his younger brother-- here is a SOLUTION that simply didn't exist before! Behold how resourceful and wealthy his cats are, compared to your old group. We've fixed you.

(This prosthetic is a clunky piece of shit that is annoying to strap on every day, gets in the way and makes a ton of noise, and itches like hell, but the change in Clear's demeanor is immediate if Thunder doesn't wear it.)

But somehow, Thunder Storm was willing to take all of that. In hindsight, it bothers him that the tipping point wasn't the other two things.

Bright Storm gave her son her own last name. When Clear Sky sent them away and the Mountain Cats permanently split, it was pointed. "My only survivor is named for myself." SHE would raise him, alone.

Bright Storm herself slowly seemed to lose sight of the meaning, encouraging him to understand his father's good aspects, but in the meanwhile it took on a new meaning to Thunder. His mother raised him. He found a father in Shaded Flower. He grew up next to Lightning Cry and Acorn Swoop. Thunder Storm means this. It's the person he made himself, and the love they've all put into him.

Thunder SKY is just another monument to Clear Sky, stripping away the life he lived without him. And WHY? For ego? For comfort?

"What am I letting him DO to me?!"

It wasn't the final STRAW, but it was the tipping point. Once Thunder Storm had this realization, the minute he was not going to budge on something, that confrontation was inevitable. The blowout fight was making reservations.

Sunlit Frost is still the breaking point, the injury from his burn going sour, but I'm going to emphasize the way that Clear Sky only called that meeting in the first place as an abuse game. Thunder Storm knew it was coming-- but it still sickens him that it was something THIS monstrous.

#And then he had to rescue bumble just a day or two later #That event is shuffled. In canon it's often forgotten that Bumble's murder and the fantastic lie come before the Frost scene #In fact he's like visibly agitated because Turts didn't buy his shitty lie and gray didn't obey an egotistical order #Gray is completely capable of being wise when he realizes the patrol is going to kill him if he doesn't shut up #Guywho was TOTALLY going to get help because uhh it was a fox actually and i didnt beat some woman to death: #''Anyway spongeboy me son kill this man'' #Bb!dotc #Better bones au #Tw ableism #Cw ableism #Ableism #Also if anyone went thru something similar with the prosthetics feel free to share annoying quirks #Due to the nature of them being four legged it's kind of backwards that it's a leg prosthetic that he's dissatisfied with #From what I read leg prosthetics are usually better built and have a higher satisfaction rate #But in a cat it would be very different because being a tripod is not as big of a deal #Especially the back leg #It really would do nothing but get in the way

thinking a lot about zoro having really sensitive morning sickness, and the smell of cigarettes being the worst offender.

so that means sanji trying so hard to quit so he doesn't bother zoro, and sneaking shameful smoke breaks when he gets too stressed.

think about the potential comedy.

#non art #zosan #one piece #vinsmoke sanji #roronoa zoro #a/b/o #mpreg #omegaverse #i think sanji makes a big deal about quitting #but still sneaks smokes when he can cus duh he's a chain smoker #and it really annoyed zoro in the start cus the smell could instantly make him puke #but once that goes away he doesn't really care #but sanji . the drama queen. treats it like zoro will be betrayed and heartbroken if he finds out #somehow usopp is caught in the middle of this #cus he knows sanji's dirty secret #(but really the whole crew knows but usopp is the one sanji knows who knows) #has to deal with sanji's over dramatic moaning

[irbcallmefynn]

honestly with the amount of funny noises ive heard cats make, cat furrys really have a lot more options that don't get much use

for example. one of my cats is deaf, and frequently sits at the top of the stairs and yells. imagine someone with a cat fursona who instead of the classic "meow" "mrrp" "nya" and stuff like that decides to go with "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOO" "MWAAAAOOOOWWWWW" "MRAAAAAAAAAAAOOOWWW" as their choice of cat sound

#bedposting #cats #cat furry #my cat actually does that btw #it's kinda annoying sometimes but it's really not that big a deal #he's the screamerrrrrr

Closing Manga Thoughts

I just deleted a long vent post about every single one of my feelings about the end of the podcast and the manga being over. Except not really over because it looks like there's a lot more interest in a physical edition than I was expecting. Hopefully I'll see y'all in the preorders in a couple weeks once I figure out how expensive this will be to make and from there how much I want to charge.

Anyways. Please humour me for a quick moment while I make a big deal out of my thing because it might look like sixteen goofy little drawings in boxes every other week, but it's been a really big deal for me over the last year and a half. I've decided all I really want to say about the end of the manga is thank you for being a fandom I was comfortable sharing something like this with. When I first got into DnDads I had never shared fanart anywhere and I had been fallen off the creative train for a while. So thank you for being here, for engaging with the manga because without that engagement I wouldn't have bothered to see this through to the end. Thank you for allowing me to foster an interest in making comics.

I feel really peaceful now that it's over. It's hard to explain, but I was always very anxious about if people would still be interested in the next pages, if I was wasting my time, if I had phoned it in and should have tried harder. But now that it's over, now that it's complete, and I'm proud of every single page, even the ones I was kind of lazy with, I'm just very content and grateful that I was able to share this very special project, and I don't care so much about if they'll be looked back on fondly, or laughed at, or ignored anymore. It's done, and I'm happy.

Now that the manga is over, if you're ever wondering what I'm going to be doing next, I'll still be here. I have more DnDads ideas, some comics that will escape the four panel format I've been locked into for so long, and I draw One Piece stuff too sometimes, and that won't be going anywhere for a while still haha. I also have an original fantasy comic about a magic that kills you that just entered it's third chapter and you can check it out starting here on Tumblr, or on it's own website here. And if you ever want to request art from me or just support me financially, I have a ko-fi, I take requests for the low price of literally any money.

Once more, thank you. This project has been so special to me, and I'm so unspeakably grateful that it was this fandom I was able to share it with, I don't think it would have lasted, or even started anywhere else, for anything else.

#noodly #thank you everyone #this still turned out pretty long #so I'm sure you can imagine how annoying the original draft was haha #god I'm making such a big deal out of this as if I'm not going to be back here tomorrow lmao #just got lots of feelings tonight #this was a really special chapter of my life #but I'm kind of glad to see it go

Don’t do this:

Look, I get that people want Our Flag Means Death to get a second season. I think it’s tacky to make these kinds of tweets in response to shows like Barry or whatever, but like, I understand the passion, misdirected as it is.

But A Black Lady Sketch Show is literally the only show of its kind — even moreso than OFMD, it’s doing something no one else on television is doing, centering Black women as no other show does. And despite being hugely successful and a showcase for rising talent as well as established stars, it does not have the Tumblr Darling status of OFMD. (BTW, if you happen to now have HBO Max, you know what you could try watching? That’s right! A Black Lady Sketch Show! You might enjoy it!)

To flood the social media presence of one show with demands about a completely unrelated show is, as Spanish Jackie says, fuckin’ kinda gauche. To do this to the only show on TV right now that’s entirely about and by Black women? I think you know exactly what that is.

#our flag means death #ofmd #don't be these guys! #especially that last person who is HOLY FUCK so obnoxious - I screencapped maybe a quarter of their annoying meme replies #and if anyone wants to get Big Mad at me be my guest #but I am right about this #there is time to be a vocal fan but this fandom already has a track record of talking over Black critiques of it #and it's not a good track record #our flag means death motherfuckers #btw there were replies to that tweet that were demands for OTHER HBO programs to get renewed/released #and they were also shitty #but ofmd is the fandom I participate in so #also: feel free to reblog! #I'm more than happy to deal with flak from this getting some numbers

ok I know I’m being nitpicky, but this stupid mural is really irritating me. The version in the latest episode is nothing like the one we were shown in the initial grey goddess reveal. Like she couldn’t even be bothered to give the grey goddess heras mole. And where did the random sparkles that only Heras mural had go? They should be visible in the part that was revealed if this was the same mural. This just makes it seem even more apparent that she’s making this up as she goes along. I feel bad for the people who did analyse the original design for clues on the goddesses identity, because Rachel clearly doesn’t care.
