yknow this is a thought that has been rattling around in my head for a long while, so i figured i may as well share it.

almost everyone is very well aware that the dream smp is a very morally grey narrative. we all know that, there are no perfectly righteous or purely evil characters, etc etc.

the thing that's been grating on me of late is that the fandom reactions to significant lore events don't really.. reflect this knowledge. hear me out.

ever since the red festival i've felt acutely aware of this. one of the longest-running debates in this fandom was who was in the wrong for tubbo's execution. techno for pulling the trigger, tommy and wilbur for not helping him. i saw post after post after post debating it the rest of that year. and i heavily disliked it. seeing people watch these characters have to improvise with an unpredicted circumstance and react to it imperfectly, reacting how their characters would be expected to, and then deciding to label some as right and some as wrong. to put them on those levels of morality, rather than viewing it through the morally grey lens the narrative has pushed. again, it just grated on me. treating these characters' decisions and actions as either wrong or right instead of treating them as decisions that move the narrative in fascinating ways and give us a window into their character.

i. dislike. when characters are made to embody either good or evil and have their flaws made respectable and palatable and easily overcome instead of more.. human i guess? it doesnt work for me, thats why i love the dsmp like i do. it's so human.

my brain started revisiting this train of thought after the c!wilbur and c!eret stream in may. the fandom reaction to that was.. a lot. again, post after post i saw opinions on c!eret did worse and c!wilbur's apology didnt make sense, or c!eret was right to be angry at c!wilbur for villainizing them, or any other number of thoughts that stem from the view that one of these characters are right and the other is wrong, that some actions and words were morally justified and others weren't.

very little did i see posts stepping back to look at this conflict in its purest form: a part of the narrative. talking about how fascinating it was that wilbur decided to apologize to eret now, how eret finally admitted how his words had hurt her. every discussion i saw was riddled with the question of did eret really deserve an apology from wilbur, was eret in the wrong for forcing a better apology out of him, who hurt the other more and who really deserved an apology from the other.

i could not help but think back to tubbo's execution after that stream. morally grey characters, morally grey decisions, viewed through the lens of sorting out who's right and who's wrong. who deserves what and how much do they deserve it. what moral box can we put this character into next.

and i've seen this pattern with so many other conflicts!! tubbo's decision to exile tommy, techno betraying pogtopia, doomsday. the narrative places absolutely no blame or condemnation on either side of these conflicts, it doesnt label either as wrong or right, so i guess people just. draw their own conclusions on it? it's weird to me, this need to discuss and debate the rightness and wrongness of these known morally grey characters and their morally grey actions and decisions. which one is better than the other, which one deserves to be listened to and the other condemned, which ones deserve to fight for forgiveness for the rest of their lives and which ones get to recieve it straight away. obviously, i'm not saying people shouldn't have opinions on these topics, i suppose just the constant insistence on subjectivity rather than objectivity when discussing controversial lore events like these irritate me.

i don't particularly know what i hope to achieve with this. i'm certainly not trying to attack anyone who's done this, just expressing my not understanding. it's just a weird way to discuss a morally grey story to me. i'd like to know if anyone else shares this sentiment, or if i'm just spouting nonsense. i don't think i am. this habit in the fandom has been frustrating me since i joined it in august 2020.

#fandom critical #jeez first time ive had to use that tag #i really dislike being critical on main but i had to get my thoughts out somehow #anyway #discourse #dsmp #dream smp #dsmpblr #c!wilbur #c!techno #c!tubbo #c!tommy #c!eret #button duo #clingy duo #oh and also! this isnt just a dsmp fandom thing #i remember seeing discussions around who was at fault for vi and powder's arguement from act 1 of arcane #and that also grated on me in a similar manner

a new thing i need now that tim and lucy are officially unofficial:

tim going to angela because he’s scared by his huge feelings or for advice on a perfect first date or something like that for a new secret woman he’s started dating but refusing to give her a name so she plays along and talks to him and then at the very end when he’s walking away she’s like “lucy’s going to love it, tim” or “have fun with lucy, tim” like just something super sweet and best friendy because she absolutely knows it’s lucy and tim forever

#the rookie #chenford #lucy chen #tim bradford #melissa o’neil #eric winter #tim x lucy #i love them #the rookie season 5 #i want this so bad #i just need them back #already #don’t know how i got through the last hiatus jeez #read something similar to this in a fic and just let my imagination run wild

[sanguinaryrot]

hey @transfagfemme do you remember the Sun and Moon Bi Dykes? Uhhhh. Well while I wasn’t looking they transed their genders….. yeah…. They’re Sun and Moon Bi Faggots now too. Yeah they’re boygirl girlboys now

#artz and craftz #they’re not exactly the same but they’re similar enough that I’m like uhhhh yeah they’re the same guys #I finished the piece and looked and was like #ah jeez

[blinkpen]

...this ask took a swerve i would not have predicted for the life of me, but its so random and funny i have to humor it

#ask x #doodles #zoetrope #this would never happen even if he went some similar lifestyle turnaround #he'd become a hippie in a trailer in a desert or join some weird fantasy cult that'd be analogous but unspecific since #none of our earth religions really exist in Purg #(ignoring the fact sometimes characters still say Holy Hell God Damned Jeez Mary n Joseph on a Pogo Stick)

songs? my fav song lately is Love You Better by GOT7, I think would make a great love scenario. also iu "can't love you anymore" would make such a great angst!!!! maybe something with sana?? 👀

‘Can’t Love You Anymore (Twice: Sana)

genre: angst,(slightly suggestive)

requested: yes :) - word count: 817

There is this thing about love. The thing you won’t usually see in the movies, or laid out in song, nor do people like to speak on it.

Love was all about admiring, adoring, touching, excitement. That was what you thought going into it.

Now you wonder if you would have been saved from this feeling if you knew that love could simply fade the way it did.

Would you have cherished every kiss with her? Held her tighter against your chest in bed? Looked into her eyes longer or more? If you knew it would end this way, would you even try at all?

It started beautiful as ever, an innocent fairy tale filled with whispers of sweet nothings, tentative hand holding, goosebumps and butterflies. It all felt significant then, but somehow it only seems like puppy love now. Maybe that’s all you felt for her…or that’s all she felt for you?

You both had told the story of when you first met hundreds of times. So often that you could finish each other’s sentences. You saw her, your Sana, for the first time in the high school hallways. You met each others eyes and the rest was history. It was a story that others admired, envied even. You and her were perfect to each other. Perfect for each other.

Years later you had made yourselves a home. The place where you both found your comfort, snuggling up to each other after a long day of whatever. The place where you both could rest. Where you both could just be together.

But life moves fast and time sometimes vanishes like sand in between your fingers if you don’t pay well enough attention.

Your home, where your hearts would usually meet, slowly turned into a place where you only saw each other on the others way out. Life quickly transformed from you both jumping into each others arms after a long day to giving one another a quick peck goodbye when one of you just came home and the other was just leaving. Texting and joking around with each other while at your seperate jobs was replaced by singular texts of one asking the other to pick up some milk on the way home.

When did it get like this?

In the few moments that you could spent together, you would sometimes give her a look from across the kitchen table - one she skilfully avoided. Her cutlery hitting her plate would be the only sound in the otherwise quiet room, but in your heart you hoped that if you thought it loud enough she would hear you. I don’t feel our love anymore.

Maybe she did. If anything still stayed the same from the past, then she could read you like an open book anyway - but if so, she said nothing.

Only in one of those rare moments in which you both craved intimacy, you’d find any sort of connection to each other. You try to speak, but kissing each other is easier. You try to feel by touch alone.

You would hold Sana down, kissing her and touching her in places that would once make her weak in the knees, just so you could hear those three words from her again in that way, a real way.

Anything would beat the routine “love you, bye.” at the end of a call.

But no matter what you did, those words didn’t come, and you couldn’t blame her. You understood her and understood what was happening between you.

After, you’d go back to your “normal” again. Trying to ignore it, you both went back to a peck for goodbye, a peck for goodnight, silent car rides and quiet dinners. This was all your story had become reduced to.

Whenever she didn’t avoid your eyes, you would see the past in them. You would see yourself, way back then, happier with her or just happy in general. You were confronted with memories that reminded you; you don’t like what this is anymore, you don’t like the person you are anymore…not like this anyway.

You sighed away the thought every time though. It might get better tomorrow, you’d think. We might talk it out in the morning.

Who knows how long you could have kept your downfall going? Maybe a day, a week, a year, or into eternity. But when she finally called you and shakily spoke the words, “I don’t think we’re in love anymore.” You couldn’t help but agree, no tears left to cry anymore.

So there it was. Your favourite person, the light of your life, turned back into a stranger. The woman who was once your crush, your muse and your true love felt a million miles away, even when she slept in your bed.

Therefore the next time, when someone asks you about love, you’ll give them the decency to at least be honest about all of it.

Love fades. Slowly, and then all at once.

#thank you for the request! #cant love you anymore iu #fun fact the meaning behind this song is really similar to one of my favourite songs (Gone girl - Obongjayar) #so writing this felt very much like writing in the universe of my favourite song #that was really nice thanks for that! #jeez im using so many tags #anyway hope you enjoyed it #anon #requested #twice #twice x reader #twice x female reader #sana #sana x reader #sana x female reader #my ass used way too many tags yooo #imagine reading angst and then being welcomed by this lol #okay bye! #have a good day :)

Hell0, 1 h0pe 1 am n0t be1ng t0 straightforward, but 1 th1nk 1 have reas0n t0 suspect that y0u are an alternate vers10n 0f me. -💾

it's quite alright. the straightforwardness, i mean. after all, i personally like when things are more straightforward. makes understanding people and situations much easier, in my opinion. i had reason to suspect this website is somewhat of a transdimensional gateway of sorts, but i did not expect interaction with someone from one different from my own, especially so quickly. i assume that my theory has practically been proven now, due to this ask.

#sk logs #interesting #jeez now my priorites gotta shift again #this is a far more pressing matter than that underwear-clad buffoon #i have always been quite fascinated by the multiverse #just this message alone is fascinating to me #hell even the way you type is interesting #it looks quite similar to binary code #might look into that more later too #especially considering i'm quite proficient in binary #for obvious reasons (robotics)

bat/ao thoughts? bat/ao thoughts.

the way ao starts acting more like the bat the more paranoid she becomes is SO good. i love thinking that the reason why the bat kept sparing ao's life was because she saw her old self in ao's eyes: a scared kid trying to act tough to prevent anyone from ever hurting her again.

of course, neither of them would ever want to admit that they're more alike than they seem. ao reminds the bat of her own weakness; that painful, ugly part of herself that she's crushed down time and again, but still hasn't managed to truly get rid of. it's hard to look at her sometimes. (the irony of being unable to finish off someone so weak- a reflection of the coward the bat used to be- is not lost on her.)

the realization would haunt ao as well. she would be horrified to think that the bat used to be someone just like her-- and maybe still is, deep down. but when she makes eye contact with the bat, she can't shake the sense that she's looking at what she herself could become.

ao would end up constantly rationalizing all of her more dubious actions (and her willingness to kill/fight in general) to try to convince herself that they have nothing in common. she can't bear the thought that she and her abuser are two sides of the same coin.

unfortunately, this anxiety makes her even more prone to being exploited-- since the bat knows where ao's fear comes from, she knows exactly which threads to tug at to make ao's psyche unravel. and no matter what ao does, she cannot chase the bat's words out of her head. she may be physically strong enough now to hold her own against the bat, but mentally, she's still as fragile as she was back in their monzenbashi days. still the same girl getting yanked around on a chain.

as far as the romantic aspect of it goes, ao has to be at least a little into the bat. even if the bat terrifies her, maybe ao thinks she's kind of cool or handsome every now and then. there is that scene in ao's MSS where she says that she's terrified of robbing someone's future away, implying that she never killed the bat because some part of her believed the bat could change... it's kinda cute (and a bit sad) that ao must have seen something in her that was worth saving.

(ao would try to ignore these feelings, though. she hates the bat for everything she's done, and she'd hate herself even more for falling in love with the girl who caused her and janomiya to live in fear for so many months. what would the bat think if she knew? what would janomiya think? ao promised she'd save these girls from ever being exploited again. she already feels like she's betraying herself; she can't betray them too...)

the bat sparing ao's life once again, skin prickling at the possibility that she's doing this because ao has somehow managed to get into her heart... she tells herself that she won't be so soft next time, but that's just a lie to make herself feel less pathetic.

it scares her as much as it angers her. she's worked so hard to keep her guard up, never letting anyone in for fear that they'll use this closeness to hurt her-- yet somehow, weak, pitiful ao of all people managed to make a crack in her armor. the bat hates feeling this way, and she hates herself for being foolish enough to slip up and allow herself to get attached to someone. so she's left unable to progress in either direction, too paranoid to let ao closer, but too afraid to finish her off and forget it all...

bad takes of a... certain flavor really turned me off of 🦇🐍 for a while, but now that i've completely disengaged from that side of the fandom, i've started to enjoy it a lot more. i Love thinking about how the parallels between the bat and ao would affect their dynamic, auuuugh

#it's similar to bat/ranka except the codependency has been replaced with more anxiety #not OTP-tier but still pretty good #magia record #kasane ao #bat of monzenbashi #hc post #ah jeez what's the ship name... #i tag bat/ranka as komoran (because 蝙蝠) so i guess #komoao #typing in all lowercase like i'm whispering. you know #need to get back to sharing my rarepair thoughts more often...

[hotgirlcoded]

honestly i think i would be more okay with the tumblr desktop layout change if it was something they did on their own (without influence from other websites) and it wasn't such a direct copy of another website (that we also hate)

#and there's already fun tumblr themes with that similar layout #which is also fun #but like. jeez. #also still didn't get the update thank god #but when it happens. rip. #lisa.txt

Why does every character in the new FE look like a Heroes’ OC who is gonna die within 2 chapters of being introduced?

#FE17 #fire emblem #fire emblem engage #not to mention the setup of the plot is laughably generic #there's an evil dragon go kill it has been the plot for forever but put some other plot elements in there jeez #I wonder if they got the heroes' writers for this game just because of how similar the whole relying on past heroes thing is to Askr #FE #nintendo direct

[peearrdee]

Irl eretbur shippers are insane btw. Those are just Some Guys. What is even. What are you doing girl. Number 1 it’s fucking disrespectful, those are real people. 2. there’s no narrative there. There’s no parallels. There’s no complex dramatic history there it’s just two guys who don’t even interact publicly.

Girl you are CRAZY. Go ship DNF

#leave me to my FICTIONAL BLOCK PEOPLE. jeez #I’m sitting here thinking about understanding the weight of redemption and you are being gross. we are not the same #the characters aren’t even similar to the CCs at this point so don’t even try that “Ooh but there’s no real difference” shit

[tenebriism]

Albedo and Tighnari would absolutely be best friends, and menaces to society.

#[ do i ship them? ... not really. tighnari's too similar to albedo. #it'd be like dating/fucking himself. #BUT. they would get along very well. ] #;; oh jeeze what now? ( OOC )

[kii2me2ii2]

it is so important the copy calliope has of 'homestuck' is written by rose and does not have anywhere near the same pace tone general writing style [even events/information] as homestuck. like how much has rose's writing style affected calliopes speech

#i was literally jus thinking of how similar i thought rose and calliope were #on my reread #jeez the beginning is so different than act 6 #i hate that stupid puppet..... i feel like im supposed to like it but its jus. eugh. #but i think calliope kinda has a bit of a seer vibe in general #i think someone else said that they think shed be a sylph if cal wasnt forced into the masterclasses #and i think she jus has a seer vibe more than i think shes like a seer or fulfills that roll in sm way #she wouldnt be a seer of space anyways but i dont think their aspects would necessarily be space and time either #but we have to consider what circumstances would allow them to not be forced into the masterclasses & so..... its more complex than that #qnyways #calliope #shes the awesome

I strongly relate to Alan because I, too, feel immense guilt over things that logic says were not my fault even when they happened years and years ago.

#this post brought to you by me remembering how I noticed my dad had upgraded his laptop to Windows 11 #and I was like ''oh yeah they've been trying to get me to upgrade too but i won't yet'' #and he was like ''should I not have?'' a bit concerned #and I reassured him that it's probably fine i'm just waiting until the bugs are smoothed out more #& that was the end of that #but tonight my brain is like REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE HIM WORRIED FOR NO REASON???????? #this is one of the Least Serious things i have random guilt attacks over #and it's not one of the ones that causes me to have nightmares at night #but jeez. can my brain give me a break pls #(it could but it won't. i am Sisyphus and unwarranted guilt is my boulder and my life is my hill) #(in this Alan and I are very very similar) #oh and also how we both think our worth is defined by what we can do for other ppl #& if we can't do favors & stuff for others why would they like us? what use do we have? why would anyone bother? #there's that too

I just came to the realization that my entire personhood is just a combination of Rita from the Penumbra Podcast and Shawn Spencer from Psych.

#like rita finding out that she might possible be aro even with her obsession with love hit me hard #like that's me #that's why it took me awhile #and shawn's strained relationship with his dad being partially of how similar they are #like jeeze #i'm being targeted #also all of their personality quirks make me go #I do that :] #also they are very ADHD ngl #venting in the tags baby #me post #physical proof that I am the annoying friend (affectionate)
