Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

#also this is less relevant and i was going to put it in the main post but i cant find the words for it #but i found your last sentence kind of condescending. “the shallura thing worries me” as if i am your little project and things arent going #to plan. as if you are the Knower Of All Things and i am straying from my path lol. twas odd #and this is a controversial thing to say i know it but like #we take fandom way too seriously. if someone decides in fic to make two characters the same age to ship them or whatever. do we really need #to get the torches and pitchforks. like i can understand discomfort when people ship like shiro and pidge or something but. also. i feel #like you can just block and move on?? like i dont ship sheith bc they are brothers. to me. but also i dont think sheithers should be #harassed or any dumb shit like that. i think its so so whatever like theyre Lines man theyre moving lines #at the same time i understand that peoples headcanons can be reflective of their worldviews (like when racism/transphobia/sexism shine #through someone's headcanons/characterization) but how much scrutiny is too much? when do we get to remember that fandom is a place to #work with the FICTIONAL? where you can change details without consequence? i saw a fic where keith was the older sibling and shiro was the #younger once. it was a good fic. how come we can play with ages but only when the Fandom Council approves? #i guess this is a really long and clumsy way to say like. you do not own the fandom nor do you get to dictate my work. and while there #is always room for necessary criticism please also think critically before you post your criticism #anyways #rant #ask

“Your Martha is REALLY Jewish.” When I tell you that 3/4s of the things she says in that fic are literal quotes from my mom and grandma…sometimes the stereotypes are true.

#I get this comment all the time on that fic lol #and I love it because #I am not creative at all #every single rant about Ken Jennings in that fic is lifted from my mother #she HATES mayim bialik #dead man’s party #batman #dc #myfic #theresurrectionist #batfamily #Jason todd #Martha wayne #Jewish batfamily #Jewish Bruce Wayne

as a frequent phil viewer i understand that he wasn't trying to come off as scary when talking to sunny, but man from an outside perspective/ sunny's perspective he did sound pretty mean :/

i think it's sweet that he has been trying to encourage tallulah's decisions and letting her decide who she likes and who she does not, but imo he is taking it a bit too far

you could even see afterwards how much it affected sunny and they started blaming themself bc of that conversation, even though it's not her fault :( so even if phil didn't mean anything by it, he just made things worse

let's face it sunny has valid reasons not to like or trust phil, he hasn't been the nicest to her from the start which she has adressed a few times, and i'm interested in seeing where all this goes !

#qsmp #qsmp sunny #little rant lol #just saw that clip from the museum and i was like man :/ #sunny is trying their best ahhh #just making it clear i love all the characters !! conflicts are very interesting !! #just wanted to give my two cents haha

This is your regular reminder not to conflate top/bottom with dom/sub because the queer community does not need another goddamn gender binary, especially not from inside the fucking house

maybe reskinning cishetero gender roles with a coat of rainbow paint is not actually a good thing and inhereting the exact same stereotypes is bad and you shouldn't do it even as a joke! thanks

#problemnyatic discourse #problemnyatic rants #problemnyatic thoughts #call it nitpicky but this shit has personally affected me and I have seen the shit idiot brain fungus it gives people #bottoms are all useless incapable pillow princesses who cant do anything lol!!! theyre just good for sex and whining #And tops make all the decision and also money and have all the life skills and are always arousing to the silly feminine bottoms #wow this is just ancient fucking man and woman sexism but you made it gay! die.

the walten files fans try not to demonize people with addictions, understand these characters are meant to be complex, and learn to grasp the concept of nuance + remorse + grief and fear causing people to make poor choices challenge: impossible

#every time i open that tag i am faced with the most dogshit media literacy and bad faith interpretation of canon the world has ever seen #felix did not KILL the kids. his irresponsible actions lead to their deaths yes but you people talk about him as if #he broke their necks with his bare hands intentionally. he loved them. he was their uncle hed seen them grow up since they were born. #he was in such shock and grief he couldn't make rational choices. did you people not watch guilty or hear his agonizing screams in bunnyfarm #and to top it off people act like this wasnt an accident. how him being an alcoholic and dui causing this ACCIDENT is justification enough #to act as if he deserves to be treated like a murderer. i believe him living with that grief and suffering and losing everyone he ever had #is punishment enough lol. hes sick. hes mentally ill. and we dont even know anything else regarding how or if hes involved in shit #or how its all impacting him. you people just hate people with addictions. #so called progressive people when a mentally ill sick man makes poor choices because hes mentally ill and sick 😡😡😡😡 #anyway. rant over. #twf #the walten files #felix kranken

I fucking hate gimmick teams.

You're not cute with your 6 Oricorios spamming Revelation Dance. FEAR Rattatas fell off over ten fucking years ago. All you're doing is being annoying. You're relying on gimmicks because you can't think of a proper strategy yourself.

I usually try to stay in my lane most of the time (mostly bc I am far too old for fandom drama) but what the hell, it's friday, let's put that lit degree to use:

the way people are playing morality politics with fiction is really starting to genuinely irk me and I think some of the responses to ascended astarion are a perfect example of why this type of thinking is actually hugely detrimental to one's ability to meaningfully engage with fiction and also to the future of art.

astarion is one of the most well-written complex characters I've seen in recent years bar none (and I'm clearly not alone given the explosion of his personal fandom lol) and he has a truly compelling, emotionally resonant character arc whether you ascend him or not

If you keep him a spawn, you get a deeply touching, realistic character's journey to healing and personal growth where he learns who he is after the experience of his trauma and depending on the player's choice, explores his relationship to sex, romance and intimacy

If you ascend astarion, you get an equally emotional and well-rounded character arc where he chooses the power that allows him to have the desperate freedom and safety he's wanted, but in the process eschews any hope of real healing or personal development, and again, depending on the player's choices, restarts the cycle of abuse by taking cazador's place.

These options offer vastly different paths for the character and experiences for the player, but while yes, ascended astarion is the evil ending, and yes, ascending astarion is a tragedy, and a fucking incredible one (not only do you have astarion reigniting a circle of abuse but you have the narrative weight of KNOWING he could have actually overcome his trauma...hats off to the bg3 team tbh) but that does not mean ascending astarion MAKES YOU AS THE PLAYER EVIL

Ascend astarion because you love tragic story arcs, ascend him because you want to indulge in a master/slave vampire fantasy, don't ascend him because you want a healing character journey, don't ascend him because you want a sweet romance; all of these choices carry the same moral weight for the player, which is to say, none, because they are an exploration of fiction.

I know I'm saying this to the villain fucker website but it bears repeating; just because someone wants to engage with evil, fucked up characters or content does not mean they support evil acts in their real life, and furthermore, exploring dark, taboo or tragic concepts safely is part of what fiction is for. It enables us to look at those things from a distance, work through difficult feelings and develop greater understanding of what makes our fellow humans tick — and before you get it twisted there's also no moral issue with exploring fucked up media bc you're horny or just, because. You can take it as seriously (or as sexily) as you want.

It's starting to really concern me how many people not only do not get, but are violently opposed to this concept, because equating what someone likes in fiction with their real life moral code and actions is an incredibly dangerous and let's be honest, immature way of thinking that not only stunts your ability to engage with fiction but ironically, hampers your ability to deal with complicated issues and emotions in real life.

I don't know what's driving this trend (though purity culture is certainly playing a role) but it's definitely something that's not just impacting individuals but contributing to the commercialization of art, where we get games and stories and tv shows and books that regurgitate the same safe, mass marketable plotlines and character archetypes over and over and over again so corporations can squeeze out as much profit as possible.

Anyway, remember kids: There's no such thing as thought crime, reaching for morally pure unproblematic media is directly contributing to the death of art, and this is why funding the humanities is important.

I think everyone needs to come together and congratulate DBK (and the rest of the Demon Bull family) for being the only ones to just give up. They DID quit while they were ahead. It's the only reason they're still alive.

#honestly they'd be dead like Spider Queen LBD (if she IS dead) and Azure Lion if they hadn't lol #LIKE. GIRL THEY SAVED THEMSELVES FROM THE NARRATIVE #HOW DID THEY DO THAT #The answer is they stopped trying to live past the end of their myth. They accepted the world as is. #And they run man. They run and after they failed a second time they just like #Went back to their house and stopped #which is really based of them. #Now they eat popsicles on the beach with Wukong and Co! Objectively better outcome #more antagonists should learn from them if they want to stay alive (yellowtusk) (maybe peng but I have a feeling no) #(peng out here with his ''The world could use a little chaos!'' bullshit.

one thing I hate, and when I say I hate, I mean that I despise with all my fucking being, is that Ohba glossed over some important events that should've affected the characters in a much more meaningful way. you mean to tell me that L died, the greatest detective in the world, the person they spent 307 days with, almost day and night together, and the only one who showed actual sadness is Soichiro? and that's it? not even a tear from Matsuda? I don't believe it. Matsuda would cry if a bug died. There's no way he was only scared for his life, to the point that he was willing not to continue the case. I just don't believe it. Even Aizawa. He would not cry, but he would show how fucking pissed he is that Kira killed L. They were too calm. Too fucking calm. Soichiro was actually distraught by that, and the others were like, "oh well lol now what do we do, please, Light, save us". shut the hell up. the task force's reactions at L's death were so fucking weird, so fucking shallow, so fucking fake, so fucking uncharacteristic. Aizawa would not just fucking accept that. He pointed out that Rem disappeared when Watari and L died and didn't look into that? it was literally in front of him. he just needed to think: "how do shinigami kill? death note. why did she disappear? what was that sand? could that be shinigami's ashes? we do cremate people, so... but shouldn't it have been there a fire? but if she died, where's her death note? could that just disappear? or did someone take it? who could take it? I mean, I am sure the task force did not... we were all together, but... wait, didn't Light run off without anyone? And he was the one to call us over there...". It was literally there. and he waited 6 fucking years to consider Light kind of suspicious. you are making them dumb on purpose at this point, 'cause that would've literally taken a bit of creativity and some skills they already should posses because they are fucking police officers. and the fact that they let fucking suspect number #1 put his hands on L's computer??? are you okay in the head?? that's like the first rule of any investigation. don't give the suspect unrestricted access to the evidence you have against him or, in this case, all L's work about the kira case. and they did it. they fucking did it. no matter what, no matter how much time passed, he was still a fucking suspect and misa was quite confirmed to be the second kira, so goddamn, just ask yourself some fucking questions. stop acting like passive terminals, you dumb fucks, and do something. you learn to connect dots in kindergarten, do you need me to send you back there?

#this went from my rant about how i think their reactions at L's death were written badly #to 'i am willing to beat them all cuz they are so fucking stupid' #really quicky #except soichiro #let this poor man grieve #death note #l lawliet #light yagami #soichiro yagami #shuichi aizawa #touta matsuda #I added something else in a reblog if you are interested lol

really hoping for the last debate to let the international members to be able to talk in their mother language cuz admit it or not, its a HUGE handicap that they're not able to get themselves across as they'd like to cuz of the language barrier. they're trying their best and im glad the team is working to better the translator but my god, even if its more convenient for them to talk english its def affecting some of the candidates

this is mostly directed @ insaneduo cuz holy shit im so tired of people that keep missinterpreting them, they wont start a dictatorship go and actually watch their povs

#qsmp #qsmp liveblog #listen i am all fuck the government and the federation but insaneduo got a point #there's some stuff that the only way to do them is with help of the federation (aka the actual admins) #and i feel like bag and bbh sometimes forget that they'll need the feds approval to do whatever they want. it doesnt feel like #they have a b plan in case the council is rejected. and of course the worry that someone will become a fed puppet #idk its just audhfuahfe i fucking hate politics ong #i def agree that us latinos see politics differently than americans and europeans. we're used to being screwed over by our own goverment #and i like what insaneduo is proposing but idk man. atp idk who to vote. i could do the funniest thing and vote gegg i guess LOL #sorry for the rant in tags
