#nor as sth negative

[ctl-yuejie]

i think - especially after the last episode - the audience will generally agree that chueam is also just a 22 year old making mistakes and having her own vices etc.

at the moment, I am not sure how deliberate the writing is for her character because p'jojo is tweeting a bunch about lesbians being the best and saving the gays (which I appreciate in a lot of ways) and it makes me wonder how intentional it is that besides the messiness of everyone around her - which she has also contributed to - her friends do burden her with cleaning up the mess. she is the leader of the gang and yes - mew had the role of table saver and collecting everyone after a drunk night out - but she also is the spokesperson for the group in a lot of sitations and currently i am pondering the fact that mewray decided to throw a party but then got too drunk and high to be awake so she had to represent the group, talk to the police and coordinate with top to solve the situation.

she does try and micro-manage her friend group based on her own image she has of everyone (and even what her ideal friend group is supposed to be like) and maybe tries but mostly fails to actually run fruitful interventions for ray so her outburst at him is a bit misplaced, but i cannot help but think that the stress of suddenly being the one person (plus april having to step in) in charge of the party made her explode.

there are a lot of instances where the others do take on the role of caregivers, but I am curious whether the gendered roles the group sometimes falls into is sth the show wants to comment on.

#only friends #only friends the series #might clean this up later to make more sense #i don't take jojo's tweets to represent what is happening in the show #nor as sth negative #but i think it is curious that in a show of messy gays the lesbians are put on something akin to a pedestal #sure they have isses - but they resolve them like adults by way of communicating honestly #so i am looking forward to everything taking too much of a toll on april because chueam is so deeply involved in everyone's mess #and her having to take charge at the party might be a first step into that direction #i think it is the interesting line of one person policing someone else's behavior to a degree that isn't warranted #at the same time you cannot help but feel like there is some justification because just like that person you can see all the possibility of #that person's behavior bearing grave consequences or backfiring on them #e.g. atom is her little brother and an adult so she's doesn't really get a say whether he sleeps with boston #at the same time i can feel how she anticipates her brother to catch feelings and knowing that boston is not the guy for that type of #relationship #they hinted at the group having tried to get ray off drugs before but at the moment she doesn't really intervene and when she does it is #because ray might risk not only the party but also jail (at least in her eyes) #really difficult line between overbearing and presumpteous and 'naturally' falling into the role of 'the adult in the room'

Let me ease your pain - John Stones

As I'm going through some tough days I thought writing sth would have helped me so here we go. I've imagined it differently in my head, it's not proofread so don't expect too much.

This is dedicated to @johnstonesfc who's going thorugh some hard moments to, stay strong bestie 🤍

Warning: mentions of death

Tag list: @masonxomount, @prideofpd, @chelsealover, @stonesyy

Death has been and will always be one of humanity's bigger, if not the biggest, mysteries ever: seeing your loved ones fly away from you, people that shared a significant part of their lives gracing yours being taken away from you is terrible, especially if this happens all of a sudden. The moment you get that hateful news it feels as if the ground under your feet magically disappears and start thinking about everything you could have said and done to let that person feel loved or to make them feel your love and, in the end, you always fear you didn’t do enough while that person was alive.

You were sure most people would have felt that way while acknowledging the passing away of someone close or at least it was how you felt the moment you got the news about your relative.

You couldn’t believe it at first, it couldn’t be real. The way your head started spinning around urged you to sit on the sofa behind you, fearing you might have passed out any moment.

Uncontrollable sobs started shaking your body as well but not a hint of tears down your face, only groans of pain leaving your throat. Desperate cries echoed through the walls of your house but it felt as, at the same time, you couldn’t give enough voice to the grief making his way through your body.

John wasn’t there at the moment, he was with his physio to recover from his groin injury but you hoped with every fibre of your soul he would open that door giving access to your house as soon as possible.

When he came back home from his session he found your figure bent over itself, your head in your hands as your gaze was fixed on the wall before you, staring at it blankly.

His eyes were wide open as he caught sight of your figure.

“Y/N?”

You moved your head to the side and the moment he made eye contact with your glossy orbs it was when he realised something really bad must have happened and therefore got really worried.

He jogged to where you were and knelt down to be at your height, taking your head in his hands.

“What happened?”

“My nan died”

John sighed and pulled you into his chest where you could finally let yourself go in a desperate cry where those hot tears that earlier didn’t happen to leave your eyes now were streaming down your face, soaking your boyfriend’s jumper.

“Shh, I’m here” He kept on whispering in your ear like a never stopping lullaby, while stroking your hair.

“I didn’t get to see her nor talk to her lately and I hate myself for it”

“Don’t, she loved you so much and you know that. I’m sure she didn’t care about it”

“But I feel so guilty” Your cry got even louder, sounding rather desperate.

“Don’t feel guilty baby, don’t have to”

You two stood there like this for a while, him holding you close to his chest trying to calm you down as your sobbing was slowly slowing down.

If seeing John home with an injury always left you with a bitter taste because you hated seeing him being forced away from the pitch, on that occasion you were somehow grateful for it because that meant you wouldn’t have to stay home alone with your negative thoughts pervading your mind.

Not many words were exchanged between you two the following moments as you weren’t feeling like doing so. John looked at you from afar, not wanting to bother you but feeling the need, at the same time, to ease your pain.

“You aren’t hungry, are you?”

You shook your head in denial, still sat in that same curled up position you had been staying in for the past hour or so, the only sound in the room being the tv turned on to try not to make you think about what just happened.

“Maybe I’ll prepare some snacks for later, whenever you’re hungry you can have them”

You nodded and, after what felt like a year, you succeeded in raising your stare to look at John taking some vegetables from the fridge, in the attempt to cook something tasty to make you happy. The way he loved you was moving and you were sure you weren’t deserving of such love but you tried to put aside that thought, for that night at least, and appreciate all of his sweet gestures without thinking if it was alright or not.

You got up and wrapped your arms around his waist, careful not to scare as he was holding a knife. At first he was a bit stiffened up, as he wasn’t expecting your hug but then, when he felt your cheek pressed against his back, he relaxed and smiled.

You were breathing in his scent with your eyes closed, as one of the few things that could make you feel at home no matter where you were.

“Thank you. I love you” You said as simply as that sounded. He put the knife down and gave a quick stroke to your hands before taking the right one and bringing it closer to his lips, to kiss your knuckles and your fingertips.

“I love you too”

You smiled and placed a gentle kiss between his shoulder blades and went back on the sofa, watching the latest Netflix’s teen movie or, better, using it as a background noise as your eyelids were slowly covering your eyes, meaning you were about to fall asleep.

John wanted to leave you your space so he kept on cooking and then doing the kitchen until he saw you with your eyes closed.

He woke you up gently and scooped you up in his arms. “I’ll take you to bed, you fell asleep watching that funny film” He answered sarcastically as he placed your tired body on your mattress, kissing your forehead.

You clutched his arm as he was going away from your shared bed.

“Stay here” The need to feel his touch was stronger than ever and he smiled knowingly.

“I was about to make some tea, do you fancy a cuppa?”

“The way you do it with a bit of milk?”

“Of course, that’s proper tea” He huffed, rolling his eyes playfully.

A little laugh left your mouth, abandoning your head against the pillow behind your head.

“Don’t be long”

“I won’t, turn on the tv and choose a good film…not that shit you’ve fallen asleep on”

“It wasn’t that bad” You protested in a low voice as he jogged down the stairs.

The weight you were carrying was so heavy you couldn’t avoid crying, not even when John came back holding your boiling hot mugs together with the snacks he prepared earlier on.

He didn’t say anything, just left the tray on his bedside table and slipped under the covers with you, pulling you closer to him so his arm was now resting behind your head and his other free hand was caressing your body, his thumbs drying up your warm tears silently.

“I’m glad we can stay home together these days…I don’t wanna be alone” Your sobs began shaking your body again and he promptly reassured you and engulfed you in his hug.

“You won’t. I’ll do whatever I can to make you feel safe and cheer you up”

You smiled and nuzzled your wet face in his chest.

“Including a hot bath, dinner in bed and all those things”

“I might consider the hot bath…”

“I’m included in the bath, for your info”

“Okay” You sighed “I’ll make this sacrifice of bathing with you” You replied ironically.

“Oh wow baby, you’re so kind” You kissed his lips with a giggle plastered on yours, before closing your eyes.

“I love you so much, John. You have no idea how much I do”

He smiled, letting his fingertips travel back and forth your arm wrapped around his neck.

“You have no idea how much I love you” John brushed your lips against your wet ones. “Much more than you”

Dont you think its kinda stupid to hate on the void sm? Like whats wrong with gettin the stuff you want on the 3d, instantantly? Its not even just you, there are many other Bloggers hating on ppl who manifest through the void, for no reason.

Loa bloggers aren't hating the void cuz it's fun, they are tried of it. It just a method like the others and there's nothing wrong with wanting to use it to manifest but it's when ppl are obessesed over it and put it on a pedestal.

To tell ppl that u can have any materilstic object u want in the outer reality is selling them short, and going into this hole-ppl often times end up even more desperate, negative and powerless bc of it. This is why loa bloggers encourage to let it go and discover imagination ect bc it will help u a lot more than a quick way to manifest sth in the 3D

The biggest pitfall of manifesting that ppl do is to focus on the object you're manifesting, which is exactly what the void is all that makes it so appealing.

Long story short, I don't care what methods ppl use to manifest, ppl that have void questions aren't looking for my answer nor would they be satisfied by it. I'm not abt teaching ppl to manifest quickly in the 3D or any other methods.

Hi mena

I wanted to say something about the discourse about lesbians and bi women.

I am critical of both sides. From what I have observed the problem lesbians have with bi women is rooted in the internalized misogyny or homophobia that some bi women (like any other women) have. And that is a very valid reason to be wary of dating bi women. However, while I find the experiences and reason valid I don't appreciate the homophobic (or biphobic if that's what it is idk genuinely) sentiment that sometimes jumps out of people, like in this post-

https://at.tumblr.com/lavendergrrls/698940412613853184/2269lm3efq1o

(Btw I am not lavendergrrls just a person who follows her)

At the same time, I do not appreciate when bi women who have had negative experiences because of lesbians in their lives say lesbophobic things about how lesbians are big,mean bullies and predators who have no humanity. Yk that very well.

I am asking lesbians to understand that many bi women just like any other women are not inherently lesbophobic and when they display weird behaviors it's because of the fetishization of ssa women and misogyny that men force on them. Just the way a "sex worker" (even the "pro sex work" ones) is a victim of patriarchy and not inherently hurting all women as a class. So please it's a request to be careful of the language and phrasing you use when you see a bi women being a victim of the patriarchal and homophobic mindset. If I am wrong in this logic please correct me mena.

And I am requesting bi women to understand that lesbians don't even need any negative experience with bisexuals to not want to date you. It's not wrong to desire a relationship with someone who's exclusively SSA although I agree there are few homosexuals who don't date bi people due to prejudice. And there's no need to use lesbophobic stereotypes to insult lesbians. And it is possible to not generalize lesbians while criticizing an individual simultaneously.

As for political lesbians- idk if you're bisexual or straight or what. But how do you explain homosexuality in nature if sexuality really is a choice according to you?

Btw mena this isn't like a personal message to you, I just want to convey this message through you. So ofc I am definitely not accusing you of any of the above actions. In fact I appreciate how you have handled the yourselves in the past. If you don't want to publish this I respect that.

hey so im gonna respond to what u said specifically in terms of what i disagree with if that’s ok! i can tell you’re coming from a good place & all and im sure u have good intentions, that said, i still disagree with some of it.

this is the post u sent. i don’t think it’s biphobic, nor homophobic. i agree with the elaboration that by virtue of being both OSA & SSA, your experience of your SSA (&OSA) will inherently be different from people who only experience one form of attraction. do i think that means sth bad about bi women or that bi ppl love less or something else that’s negative about bi ppl? no, and i don’t think that was implied in the post so idk why anyone would be offended. then again idk what op exactly meant by it, maybe she meant something more malicious but ive never seen her say anything even slightly hateful to bi women, and i don’t think suggesting their SSA is experienced differently from homosexuals by virtue of also being OSA is wrong.

I am asking lesbians to understand that many bi women just like any other women are not inherently lesbophobic

i disagree with this, i think when we come from homophobic societies ofc we are going to be homophobic and this is gonna be especially more likely for OSA people, OSA women included. homosexuals are forced to confront our internalised homophobia bc it ultimately harms us, bi ppl too to a degree but they aren’t forced to deconstruct homophobic beliefs about being able to choose or exclusive same sex attraction etc in the same way that gay ppl are. we say that white ppl are inherently racist & men are inherently misogynistic not bc there’s some biological component to racism or misogyny but bc when ur part of an oppressor class or a class privileged over an oppressed class then u are more likely to take in and not examine prejudices against them which exist in society.

and when they display weird behaviors it's because of the fetishization of ssa women and misogyny that men force on them. Just the way a "sex worker" (even the "pro sex work" ones) is a victim of patriarchy and not inherently hurting all women as a class. So please it's a request to be careful of the language and phrasing you use when you see a bi women being a victim of the patriarchal and homophobic mindset. If I am wrong in this logic please correct me mena.

idk i feel like this is not equivalent. sex workers are directly being harmed by misogyny and by johns and pimps. they are being victimised repeatedly but they aren’t somehow harming women by being in sex work. they’re trying to survive and i don’t think the OSA women like that one woman who lured a lesbian into her house which ended w the lesbian being raped & murdered by the OSA woman’s boyfriend is necessarily doing it out of survival.

OSA women often will benefit from harming lesbians in various ways, sex workers don’t benefit from it they’re in fact the ones being directly harmed. maybe this applies to those rich women on onlyfans but not the avg sex worker who’s often a street prostitute or a stripper or in other fields of sex work that are traumatising & often even dangerous.

otherwise tho i agree with u and i do think there should be care in addressing bi ppl as well bc they’re still a minority group & face oppression on the basis of SSA, the same way i think ppl should be considerate when talking about idk moc for example bc they still face racism & are a minority (this doesn’t mean i think said groups shouldn’t be questioned or criticised or anything of the sort. just that there’s a line between valid criticism and prejudice)

Greetings👋, I know I haven't been that much activ lately. I feel lost in life and I don't know where I go nor what I do definitely doesn't affect my mental health in a negative way hahaha..ha..yeah....

[fauzhee10069]

Heyo apart from me starkly disagreeing with ur beefleaf hate post, I'm honestly mostly bothered by u tagging it with beefleaf/not censoring the name.

It appeared in the main tag while I was scrolling it, because i rlly love bflf, and I'd appreciate it if u could keep hate out of the tag!!! Its made for ship content, nto hate on the ship.

Again this isn't even because i disagree (ig it's up to interpretation though, but i I want to say that just because someone was once in love with a girl doesn't mean they're straight, bisexuality exists, pls dont erase thar!!!!) its rlly jsut cuz I don't want to see negativity on my otp when I'm looking for content of them :(

I hope u can see why that'd upset me a little, no need to respond or anyrhign, just for the future!!! Cuz ik that not only I get upset at seeing negativity about my otp while scrolling the tag...

(Also if u dislike sth so much, why not use thst energy to focus on sth u like instead? I feel like that might make u happier than hate posting--)

Okay, first, thank you for your input.

I will add more tags so that it will make clear that my post is not about positive content about beefleaf.

Then I'll also add more warning in the beginning of my post, so that readers can expect what they are about to read and shippers who don't want to see any negativity about beefleaf may simply skip it.

But I won't remove the #beefleaf tag, because the point of my post is clearly about beefleaf. Just next time, make sure to read it carefully to the entire tags before proceeding and regretting what you are about to read! (while I'll try to be more careful with my 'warning system').

I won't bother to remove my post (nor stop writing more), because I can do anything with my blog which so far contains my personal opinions on both positive and negative thoughts in a balanced way.

I'm not a hater with no life who carelessly enter people's fan-clubs just to bash their favorite things right to their face.

But the tagging system in tumblr is not exclusive, rather it serves to indicate 'what is your post related to?'

So how can I just remove the tag when it is the main topic of my post?

You have the ability to just ignore it & scroll down, people can write what they want and you can read what you want.

So, I’d rather have you block me than remove my (main topic) tag just to ease your mind.

And about the canon things that I said, it seems you also didn't read my post to the end (maybe you got emotional first hmm), my canon breakdown serves as a starting base for understanding beefleaf, but if you get to the section "How can ‘beefleaf’ work better?" in my post, that's also the part where I started ignoring canon, that even though He Xuan had been straight in flashbacks, it is still possible that he's starting regret some of his action & care for Shi Qingxuan.

My canon breakdown for that post is like; "oh so the truth is that, but we can bend it like this".

Lastly, hate posting & rant posting may sounds similar but not the same. You need to read the content to fully understand, but 'hate posting' doesn't contain any positivity to back up the negativity whereas 'rant' is more personal about what you have in mind, yet not necessarily being all negative.

Though I don’t think you want to read my entire post as it triggers you so much.

But in some case, rant my overlaps with hate when the poster only has negativity in mind.

Also when I said “many beefleaf shippers”, it’s not necessarily about you. But if you got triggered by it, then it’s on you.

Also, if I hate beefleaf so much I wouldn’t have bothered making this edit.

ty

#AMA #beefleaf #tw negative #cw criticism #he xuan #when i said that i don't gatekeep what you can ship but you gatekeep what i shall tag #for other beefleaf shippers will you get triggered with this ama too? #because this ama has 0 thing about beefleaf unless you check my previous post #the post that the anon objected about #tldr just block me if you hate my post #sumpah tgcf fandom banyak bocilnya anjir

[pokeheros-drama]

here just to clarify some things. 

- about goobear: it’s fine for them to be “old af” and make friends on pokeheroes. they likely grew up with Pokémon or came in contact with it during their childhood and has been liking it since then. made a pokeheroes account like other users did. that’s not a reason to hate on goobear. if they were to do something weird with the built relationships (no relationships aren’t just romantically or sexually) then it’s something else. remember: pokemon came out roughly 30 years ago. it’s fine to be older than that. 

- freedom of speech? remember that the site was made by a german person and the laws aren’t the same. whenever bretty said “it’s in my american rights on this american platform and sth religious” they were 100% wrong. because a) it’s an international platform and b) by this dumb logic it has to be a german platform. in germany we don’t have a “freedom of speech”, but a “freedom of expression” and a different law before that. first law is about how you’re not allowed to attack someone else or diminish someone elses basic laws. being queer belongs to this category ( www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.html#p0016 ). hate speech is also forbidden. (since this pokeheroes blog seems to follow a different law, i don’t know what law to follow aside my own and tumblr rules anyways.) only at article 5 it’s written down as “freedom of expression”, because they expect you to have the other rules in the back of your head already. yk, your allowed to say what you want AS LONG AS YOU’RE NOT BEING MEAN TO OTHERS AND YOU’RE WILLING TO BE OPEN MINDED. if you can’t do it, you have to shut up. 

- bashing on bretty about his age: from many posts here I read out he is 16 years old. to the long post anon, he is still not considered an adult ( www.britannica.com/science/adolescence ). he is an adolescent. in germany we don’t call him a child either and he has to equally fuzz up and take responsibility ( www.gutefrage.net/frage/ist-ein-16jaehriger-noch-ein-kind ). it’s common knowledge among people, that at the age of 14 and up you have to take responsibility for your words and action more than before (not in english, but the definition of adolescent is 14 - 18: www.gesetze-im-internet.de/juschgc/BJNR273000002.html ). although you are not an adult, this is still an important step for your growth.

when i was 16 i was many miles away from being an adult. yet i was open minded towards new things and queer people. i grew up under the influence of “ew gay people” and “start talking about it and you shall sleep on the streets nor will you be my child”. not saying my conditions were rougher or better, but compared to bretty… he has the internet full of information now. not the drama blog tho. children- or better to say the youth can only grow and learn from their mistakes if someone is willing to teach and let them study from their mistakes (without any negative feelings from the teacher’s side). if they’re not willing to learn, it’s time to move on instead of starting a witch hunt. but that’s just a personal ideology at this point.

Mod edit; Regarding the blogs rules, you’re basically right. There’s ways to talk about something without being an asshole about it, but unfortunately, people don’t do that here. That’s why I have to put rules in place, and why I limit certain things posted.

[eveeyehorizons]

Truth is I m not what you made me to be. I m not that needy childish unrealistic impatient stupid little thing from the countryside.

I m not having problems with my attachment style, nor do I have negative unsolved emotions in me that are leading my behavior. I m not a victim and I m not mentally unstable or borderline. I don't need to please people cuz I don't need ppl. that are in need to be pleased, to be in my life. And I did not come to you to grave some attention or to forget myself in order to make you want me.

Remember? You pushed me to proof myself to you. Not the other way around....

It's pretty frustrating that I have to double check my reality now everyday since you decided to ghost me after you pushed and pulled me mindless.

The only thing I went wrong was to be so open and trusting to your words.

Didn't know you just put them out and don't mean them.

Now I have to remember myself everyday that I m not the fucking problem and that I am okay the way I am.

I m not too overwhelming and it was not you having no time. That's the worst excuse I heard from a man.

U want sth u get it. U don't want, u don't do it. That's how you act everyday, right?

you make me feel so worthless. unworthy to even read my replies. In order to come up the next time like you cared.....

Did all the things that I told you are making my situation worse...

Watching me forgetting all my self respect and dignity by seeking the problem on my self.

Letting me apologize for even the expressions of my feelings that were meant to push you up and make you strong...

That you didn't even care about most of the time.

Do you know why I kept going with that? I didn't want to stop believing in what I thought is in you somehow.

I know you went through some shit and that you acting out what you experienced probably....

But I was not any of your past relationships. You invoke affection in a woman or maybe more then one to feel better? Then fucken use this energy to get your life right the way you want it and then cut up all the cords at once to be with someone you didn't have to show how messed up you were?

You been such an important person for me...

And fuck, I m no overthinker.. I m sensing shit 100000 miles away. If u can't deal with that don't blame me.

Come up and be straight. Honest.Words are the closest we can get. I know that sucks but that's what you have with most of the people.

Or leave it

But if so have the maturity to not put your distorted picture of me into other people's head....and fucken say goodbye

Respect. That's sth you have to relearn.

And honesty. Open, radical honesty.

You don't want me to talk to your wife. I know but that tells it all.

You just care about yourself. That's all.

You rather turn a whole group against me then take the risk to stand for what you preach.

And guess what, I m over it. I had my lesson and I am able to forgive. I m able to turn that darkness into light all on my own. And I did.i don't need friends like that I realized. But I can still respect you and show my love for the community. No matter what they think about me. And I m even more thankful I got to learn that. So Thank you but I have to speak my truth and you have to respect that.

I told you I stepped away from people... Now you know why.

My morals and values are different.

[darkcitrin]

The philosophy of gruvians would be: “Take your power back and invest your energy more wisely. Some products are produced in order to consume them. FT for instance.”

So after I tried to creat understanding for anti gruvians through the question lense of gruvians (”Why do they waste their energy on “negatively”, on sth they hate and keep having energy to do that?”)...Which poses the following question, I guess, whether anti gruvians were even aware that they “were” “shipping gruvia on any level”, let alone if they “would agree with me on that” or “wanted to do that”.

Let’s continue and explore maybe the other side through the anti gruvia question filter “Why gruvians do not bother so much about this “toxic representation of an relationship and its effect on society, victims of toxic realationships” in order to creat understanding understanding for gruvians.

Since, I am not a gruvia shipper in the sensu stricto, but in the sensu of my last post, I will now try to bridge both sides by creating a common ground, to build a plattform we can understand each other by using the arguments I am aware of, as hints for its potential correctness.

Eventhough, it is true on a global scale that energy cannot be created nor destroyed/”wasted” and is transformable into each other and therefore there is only “one energy existing”, we are living in a world, which is chemically not an isolated environment, meaning energy transformed into some energy forms will not easily be stored than others and is under realistical world conditions not easily transformable into its former form.

Example chemical energy is stored easily into compounds like suggar, fat, proteins and in the electrical bonds they have. Eat them and you can fuel your chemical reactions, physical reactions, produce warmth and so forth. Warmth however is quite difficult to turn into chemical energy.

So we are living in a word, where it certainly can seem that the truth “that energy cannot be created nor destroyed” is rather irrelevant in order to live our lives, if not even to say it is beneficial to even despite this truth treat energy as if it is limited, rare, can be "wasted”, hoarded and “well invested”, or “differentiated” based on its attributes, appearance, usages. Following this logic we created different names for them aswell, in order to be able to speak about them, creating on the concept level an illusion, which is far more practical to use and adapt and therefore feeling “more realistic” than the truth itself. There is now just one big disadvantage of this agreement. Creating the illusion of variety can backfire if people forget that they are connected, transformable, meaning influencing each other, following an inherent pattern which cannot be changed. CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF INCOHERENCE, plotholes the arch enemy of trust, coperation, understanding, growth, my brain cells and it can also creat inbalance, lack, suffering.

In this world you can “creat energy” by producing it following a receipt, follwing it step by step, following the rules (a plant getting all its needs met, can do photosynthesis and creat suggar etc., readers getting their emotional needs and hopes met, creat love and appretiaion in return) OR you can simply “consume it”, transform it into things you want it to be, or selecting the nutritions you need from it and discard the rest.

We as energy beings do both, but gruvians and anti gruvians are chosing different approaches if it comes to their shipping experience.

And now it will get interesting, Gruvians do not like to put realistic standarts on an anime, however they seem to be more accepting of the reality than anti gruvians, or maybe accepting is the wrong word since they also turn off reality by enjoying animes as we do, they are following the rules of the realistic world more obediant: “Reality is what it is”, similar to “the work of this mangaka is what it is”, “the canon relationship is what it is”, not question it, or even bother with its conceptional level, its messages, its influences it has in general or towards some groups of people, or whether they want to change it or not, stand for it or not, support it indirectly or not. They focus on the product not on the spiritual, message layer of it, and whether it was meant as propaganda, conveys a political toxic message. As long as it exists it has value for them and is successful, and therefore "critizing" its other layers "after" it was already published, is "pityful", must be a product of jealousy, disrespect towards the authors efforts who just fallowed the demands of the fans/publishers/manga expectations/manga industry/standart rules of trope usgaes etc. Therefore... “Are you attacking their demands/mangas of our time in general, which gives them joy if you critize it?” Well, then they will protect the mangaka and attack you instead. Mangas are so frequently produced by copying, recycling tropes, so there cannot be anything wrong with that so WHY critizing it in general (energy waste) or in particular in case of their beloved anime/ ship? Is this a crusade only against their sources of happiness? How dare you.They totally dismiss the opprtunity, that critic can be used as improvement and be appreciatet or even considered as beneficial or welcomed. Maybe since they never experienced this possibility in reality.

And Since their consumption strategy does not need to concern about that, whether it makes sense, follows a coherent logic, is healthy or toxic, it takes what it needs and “hates” the rest, it selects afterwards. They creat energy in their fandom not by fallowing the source material and enjoying its coherency. But creating their own coherency and see plotholes even as space to fill it with their own ideas. They do not see mangas as a tool of value expression of the author and thereby untouchable for fanchanges, or to teach its readers values, lessons like real fairy tales used to.

“Anti Gruvia”s on the other hand, believe that the world can change, improve if the concept level is corrected and believe that this is easier done in 2 D level than 3 D level. Seeing coherency in the 2D world, gives them energy and validation that there is a possibility for the 3D world to improve aswell.

If they meet people with red flags, they know, these are already toxic on their belief / concept level and every action they do and the consequence of it is an manifestition of it and it would take less energy to correct the concept level in time than to deal with the consequence mess afterwards. Therefore, if they manage to creat or correct media with heathy relationship presentations...

What if these toxic people would learn to correct their ways by education, or feel ashamed doing their misdeeds, get into therapy earlier, work on their self love before getting into a relationship and thereby not letting their own children suffer the consequences of their own childhood traumas, or if the increased awareness of toxic and healthy relationships protects people to get into a bad one in the first place or would help people stuck in those, since people of their environment would not normalize bad relationships and would more likely intervene and help them by “seeing the problem earlier”. Media can reach far more people and you “will not get directly confronted/attacked by toxic people” (disputable big time) but on the same time still get active and not “just accept” the problems.

However, we humans are not living concepts, since most of us are not even aware of our concept, therefore sending energy to correct it... “won’t work” and is an “energy waste”, if they are not welcoming it. Since if sb. is already manifesting toxic traits on a behaviour level / or manga level , they are not critical about their own concept/ the concept of their art work or able to do so (abilities or pressures of expectations). This cannot be changed by words alone and “anti blogs”.

Furthermore, it will be seen as a personal attack on them, rather on their behaviour/concept and the critics will get attacked instead. Therefore gruvians wonder why anti gruvians are doing it. Why not consume it as it is and then change it later in your fanfictions if you dislike some parts of it? Why not accept reality and enjoy animes and mangas in your spare time as compensation? Why wasting “energy on fighting” rather than “enjoying/consuming/rebuilding” art? “Why treating manga characters like people and hold them to the same realistic standarts if your interest “should be/suppose to be” to read mangas to flee from reality and its standarts in the first place? “This does not make sense.”

The reason for that would be that most anti gruvians experienced the toxic consequences of a person with such a mindset, felt powerless towards them, and do not want to act in the same way like them, even in their spare time. These toxic individuals consumed them, not seeing them as equals, with a soul, a heart who can be worn out but as someone to consume, whose energy, attention, can be taken, hoarded and their feelings can be dismissed, demanded to change towards them by making them feel inadequat to feel these negative emotions in the first place, and being patient until they change their feelings “on their own” aka after pressure usage/ gaslighting/ creating dependency. And whenever they confronted these people  “come up with a fanfiction” instead of excusing their behaviour, beliefs, they reinterpretated their actions, or rediculed the perception of their “victim”, “supposed friend, family member, partner”, did not care for a truth outside their own conception or what they felt was relevant/practical/normal/made for them sense or which they were used to. Those people frequently believed to act toxic would not be toxic if they would copy behaviours already normalized in media since it could not be toxic if it is normalized in media and in the world, right? Wrong. “Jealousy is seen as sign of love in media, why shouldn’t it be in the real world aswell?” Since if you are healthy you would not feel jealousy at all...

So “their tongue” of anti gruvians is burned. They cannot easily “just consume things” as indifferently as others since they cannot enjoy something like that,, they select their media and when their media then turns sour they feel on one level betrayed. Anti gruvians associate with consumption negative things like exploitation. SInce they do not wish to be exploiters they invest themselves in their media they consume, feeling with the characters more strongly, seeing incoherency more clearly. They feel with the construct not just eat it. So yeah they project onto these characters aswell, however we all are doing it while reading manga to an extend.

So there is now a final conflict. The way of anti gruvians could have worked (at least in theory) if it would not be for the mere existance of fans “just consuming” manga.

To be honest, it is now also too late for Mashima to either break gruvia up or make them healthy, we would not be able to believe this “development” anymore.

Transforming bad works, while they are getting supported by consumers.... will bring no change on the material level. Sadly. So invest your energy in good work, deattach from it. Believe that quality will conquer at the end also these fans if they are ready for it. Your support anti gruvians of media with healthy relationships representation is far better invested, but it is not easy since I myself know the feeling of going “no contact” feels like “ghosting sth you once loved or walk out on sb/ betray yourself, others, your once favourit character, your hopes, predictions for this story, is feeling like you would forsake your ideals”.

But it is not. Not in this world we are living in. In this illusional world, it needs lack of attention from others for people to self reflect and change their work/ways. They need time and space. Let us give it to them then. No attention will get this better done than negative attention.

Furthermore, this manga is nowadays drawn to be consumed. This was established with Lucys final worlds in season 3. Every other volum afterwards, season was done under pressure with the purpose to sell and to get all parties involved in its production getting paid a living wage. This mangas success/ sells is now attached to their survival, it does not intent to continue or ever produce a masterpiece with great characters or messages anymore.

Mashima even said so in an interview. He was not planning in advance anymore since he worked on several projects at once. Since he didn’t need to and it was still sold. After volume 3 FT was classified as Ecchi manga, the tropes were increasing, the characters were degressing, the quality plumbed. Previous, only Lucys stellar spirits were comedy relief characters in the series while not even being human characters. This changed. Mashima recycled previous scenes of previous intended ships, in order to creat as many ships as possible and not have to invent new scenes, he did not even paid attention to the colour of Juvias crest, or position of scar. He got sloppy. The manga was kept produced to make the most of the nostalgia of our anti gruvians loyality or of the consume nature of gruvians (I use these groups here as example for the whole fandom). This was easily noticeable how Gray rejected Juvia several times and moments later a "gruvia moment happened". They played both groups.

The later group is far more immune to “these games”, since it is in their interest that it continues one way or the other. Living after this motto, I imagine at least " You live your life, were you cannot change much and have to accept much but at least FT continues, the gruvia fandom exists and it is even better that it is not "finished" / already become “official, canon undisputable” and is an up and forth since this prolongs the series and gives our fandom creativity opportunities". They do not care (as much) about its consistency or whether it treats the character development "respectfully" for their characters. They just need new input which brightens their week once a week, which looks beautiful. If they already have to accept/accepted to live in a world of illusion why be as strict or even stricter to their leisure time pleassure which "is not hurting anyone", "should not be taken serious", " is meant to be comedy, harmless, funny, not to be taken serious but lightly".

And since the mangaka concepted his work now to be consumed and seem not to care either about plotholes, character development either, "why do anti gruvians do"? They "obviously are the ones mistaken here, to think they can change the outcome". It is already "decided as canon", “now make the most of it in fandom or leave the fandom”, since "they do not want to be reminded in their spare time, leisure pleassure about real world standarts." Since manga anime, fandom is their way to cope with it by deattaching from it, by making the best out of this mess, “at least in this world also fandoms exist”. AND They cannot understand why? seem to struggle to enjoy these fandoms in the same way as they do and out of my experience have less patient to understand the other side since anti gruvians using 2D material to understand other perspectives and are trained in it while gruvians are not.

They consume 2D stories and make the characters occ if needed to process or achieve their own psychological, emotional needs through fanwork. They project onto their reinvention of these characters not so much on the original characters as a whole. By consumption the source material, rebulding it and getting praised by other gruvians for their fanworks, they creat independently their own happiness. (The quality of their fanwork is in general also far better than the source material at least in the health degree). They do not wish to change the world, to understand it or other beliefs or the messages of the mangas they read. They are reading them in order to have a good time, to get energy and happiness by being active in fandoms and doing so gives them energy to continue living in our world.

Now, as mentioned before, FT is somehow a special case, since it started differently. Therefore, it would be unfair to say to anti gruvians, "hey why do they even start to read it, if they were "not into it", "enjoying it" "getting energy/ happiness from it (anymore)"?. But in the same time it is the reality now for several volumes that FT is a manga produced for easy entertainment, money making and consumption. It has no values, stories anymore to convey.

So "just eat it or starve it".

The only "transformational power" you as reader posses at this point is "fandom" like the gruvians are doing it or by supporting a competitor in hopes the author will blindly copy aspects he seem to be popular from this competitor for his own work. These are the game rules of our world.

And your life energy and happiness are valuable and limited. So why wasting it on sth. you dislike?

[jiminrings]

they're interactions would prob be always in campus like at the library, class or even in a café or sth cuz i don't think stem!koo is the type to go to parties eXCEPT he's dragged invited to a party and approaches y/n since they share classes and are kinda acquaintances

stem koo isn’t for the party scene and absolutely doesn’t know any better

cold senior!y/n x stem major!koo masterlist :D

jungkook wants to go anywhere but here

literally ANYWHERE

he’d actually enjoy studying on a friday night than to be here, a party, where he doesn’t know anyone besides jimin

JIMIN WHO ALREADY DISAPPEARED AND LEFT HIM?!??]%^{]!

it hasn’t even been a full hour since they arrived???

how the fuck did that guy even manage to talk him into accompanying him into this party :O

oh right

“i think i have a friend who has a friend that makes your lunches. it’s jUST a hunch but-“

jimin didn’t even manage to finish his sentence and jungkook already agreed

jungkook doesn’t care for the party scene at all. he doesn’t.

but that doesn’t mEAN that he doesn’t care for what other people think about him

he cares about your input pLS don’t say it to his face when it’s negative :((

uhhh he doesn’t exactly have party clothes

by party clothes, he doesn’t have what jimin has in his clothes

jeon jungkook does not own a sparkly sheer black long-sleeve shirt :D nor some leather pants :D or even a button-down shirt that in fact, does not have any buttons :D

what kook DOES have is a new red hoodie that he hasn’t worn before

it’s a red hoodie and that’s the equivalent of him dipping his toes in lava!!!

it’s spicy enough as it is

the only other change he’s gonna make is how the fuck he’s gonna tackle his myopia

he traded in his glasses for contacts tonight!!

they’re just clear and he might’ve had to struggle for thirty minutes to try and pop them in,,, inclusive of pep talks,,, but it’s still new!!!

(his glasses case is in his hoodie pocket)

that should be enough

the only thing that jungkook is lacking now is a familiar person

..... a familiar person.... who is in turn a safety blanket..... a comforting figure anongst strangers...... in a completely different environment

no

god there hAS to be a way that jungkook can find jimin so he could get home with ease, while simultaneously (passive-aggressively) chewing him out for abandoning him

easy!!! just easy breaths!!!!

it’s just like navigating a circuit that you made that you know the schematics of!!

only difference is that you didn’t make this circuit and there are no instructions!!!!!!!!!

<3 he’s doomed <3

jungkook bumps to numerous people and at some point, someone stopped him, nodded, and gave him a cup

what’s he SUPPOSED to with it????

alright think

a couch!!! yeah!!!!

jimin could be there and could be sitting because who doesn’t love sitting? right? why do people in parties not sit on couches exactly

“pick up, please. just pick up...” he keeps muttering under his breath, peering urgently to wherever his eyes could land on

OH MY GOD

IT’S THE BLONDE HAIR!!!!!

that must be jimin

“man, that was not cool! how could you-...”

jungkook immediately claps his hand to blondie’s back, even squeezing the flesh when he realizes that.... oh? why is the fabric not as coarse as what a glittery sheer shirt would be?

.... holy shit

that is definitely not jimin.

?!/!/!!/%]^]^[^^]

it’s his senior!!!!

his senior who’s blonde and looks intimidating and soft at the same time but dEFINITELY looks intimidating rn

d-did he just clap min yoongi’s shoulder

yoongi looks the furthest thing from pleased and it’s his sharp eyes that make jungkook’s impossibly wider

“i-i’m so sorry. i am so, so sorry-...”

his senior only casts a look to the person beside him, deciding to stand and completely walk away from jungkook

he is so.,,., lost

yoongi looks at you from beside your seat beside him and only pinches your thigh, making you knit your brows in irritation

WHAT WAS THAT FOR

did he literally just walk away from you

what was that about ://

you turn your head for what could be yoongi’s old trick, only seeing a face you clearly did not expect to be here

jungkook recognizes you before you could recognize him, chest immediately deflating

“y/n!!!!!”

oh that’s him alright

you sigh slowly, “jungkook.”

the boy wastes no time in eagerly yet shyly sitting beside you, occupying yoongi’s deserted spot

the cushion’s still warm tho

“thank god you’re here. i-i don’t know anyone in this party.”

your eyebrows raise at that, clearly finding no thought to it. “you should leave if you don’t know anyone here, jungkook.”

“b-but you’re here, so i’m good!” jungkook nods, correcting his statement, “i came here with my friend but he’s missing now.”

what???

that’s unsafe!!!!

who is this friend and why do you feel like giving him some stern words >:|

“i mean, i am here but you don’t want to be here.”

right

.... you’re right

jungkook clearly glosses over to what you just said because you are eXACTLY right

yeah sure he found you but that doesn’t necessarily mean he wants to be in this party

it’s nice he found someone familiar but it doesn’t mean he wants to stay!!!!

you could only chuckle under your breath, drinking from your cup and planning your route to find yoongi throughout

“you should probably go home, jungkook.”

the boy visibly mulls over that option but he looks nervous, his knee bouncing up and down then that you can’t help but notice

“or are you gonna wait for your friend?

did you just give him an even bigger dilemma

jungkook swallows the lump in his throat, a nervous giggle coming out from him even before he could restrain it

“i-i can’t find him anyway. but that’s okay, right? jimin always comes home one way or another.”

OH SO IT’S JIMIN

you’re gonna pulverize him when you drop by yoongi’s chess club again ://

“then go home.”

your affirmation makes jungkook nod resolutely, making his mind up

he stands up rather unsurely, sheepishly nodding to you before he takes two steps away from you

FUCK IT

jungkook turns to you almost nervously, eyes wavering that you only then realize that he isn’t wearing his glasses, seeing his bambi eyes a bit more clearly

“i-i’m very sorry to ask, and if it’s not too much trouble, a-and you don’t have to if you don’t want to but uhm — can you uh, can you walk me home?”

oh

oh

you’re pleasantly surprised from what jungkook’s asking of you, head tilting that he misinterprets and tries to backtrack

“i-it’s just that i feel safer with you. b-but i completely understand if-“

huh

that’s nice

you stand up abruptly, leaving your drink by the table because it might seem a little funky to walk down a street with a blatantly red cup lol

“okay.”

he hears you reply simply, seeing you walk ahead of him with your hands in your pockets

:((

jungkook is so grateful for you

you only share some classes here and there, and he’s only properly interacted with you once, and he doesn’t even have your number — but here you are, walking him home from a party he can’t stand to be in and is too anxious to walk away from alone

at some point, jungkook placed himself beside you so he could tell you where his apartment’s at,,

and also for the reason that he feels safer beside you and not behind you

you’re a warm presence if that makes sense

you’re team captain of your soccer team and you’re yoongi’s right-hand woman (and he’s your right-hand man slash nemesis) and he feels like everyone could count on you if they needed to

you’re not exactly outgoing nor warm nor approachable,,,, but jungkook doesn’t exactly mind

jungkook doesn’t mind because his senior is walking him home and he’s never felt more comforted before.

he starts tearing up at the edges of his eyes and it’s with a faint sniffle that you only turn your eyes at him, narrowing at the sight

you don’t even ask but he explains anyway, pointing in front of him

“nothing. just the wind. a-and i’m wearing contacts!”

you only nod curtly, continuing on walking when jungkook sees you pull out a goddamn bottle of eyedrops from your pocket, offering it to him like it’s no big deal

:(((((

his eyes ARE scratchy

“how did you-“

“i carry it around. yoongi and i have dry eyes.”

you don’t exactly stop when he drops them to his eyes, but you do slow down in the slightest

jungkook finds himself in front of his apartment complex soon enough, almost disappointed that the walk home was quick

you turn without even waiting for a thanks from him, completely surprised when he yells out for you and tries to jog in an attempt to your retreating figure

“t-thank you so much, y/n! it means a lot and i-i probably would be still in that party crying or whatever until i could find jimin. i’m so sorry still and i hope i can make it up to you and-...”

“good night.”

you only flash a small smile, similar to yoongi’s :] before leaving jungkook in front of his complex

he’s still a little perplexed but he doesn’t question it

jungkook’s still holding your bottle of eyedrops in his hand, the only thing reminding him that his senior did walk him home

he’s gonna return this to you

he will

:)

On the other hand.Eileen was more distant. She told him about wizarding world but not on the details.If he wanted to know sth. more, Eileen ordered him to read a book. She never raised a hand on him neither positively nor negatively. She never hurt him physically but never hugged him either.

hi lex!! im quite in a depressing state rn and i dont have anyone i could talk to atm (not that i hv no friends nor trust them but i always find it hard to open up to ppl esp ab my insecurities i dont want to bother them with misery) which why im not here to make u feel uncomfy too, im here to ask u do u ever feel the same way if the answer is yes what do u usually do to ease the pain/weight?? thank u in advance <3 im wishing u the most wonderful day ever <33

hi angel, that’s okay, you’re not making me uncomfy at all i promise. and mm my answer’s gonna be a bit long so i hope you don’t mind <3

i have had a handful of depressive episodes myself, and i’ve actually been diagnosed with depression by my GP before so yes i’ve felt that uncomfortable weight in my heart before. and i really get the ‘not being able to open up bc you dont want to bother people’ bit, bc im like that as well—i hate being vulnerable in front of people, even my closest friends.

(under the cut bc it’s really long)

what usually helps me:

- a long sob sesh while listening to your sad playlist, and a short nap afterwards (not more than 1/2h). but after that please don’t listen to any more sad songs bc that’s just gonna prolong your misery and you do not want that.

- cleaning my room helps a lil bit bc it gives me a sense of accomplishment, and that’s a positive feeling. so try to do that if you have the energy to.

- watch a comfort movie of yours, my personal fave is howl’s moving castle or saiki k, that might help you feel a lil bit lighter

- take a short walk. it’s so silly but it does wonders fr, stepping outside and taking a breath of fresh air always makes me feel a little less alone, and that maybe everything will be okay, yknow?

- eat your fave food if you can. or order some takeout from your fave restaurant—since it’s something that sparks joy, it can help alleviate the heaviness you’re feeling rn

- talk to your friends, please. text em or call em, you don’t have to talk about your feelings if you’re not comfortable with that, but social interaction with your loved ones might help make you feel a lot better afterwards. it may be draining to even think abt it, but if you choose the right people, it would be so worth it i promise

- most importantly, let yourself be sad. don’t try to force yourself to be happy if you’re feeling depressed, bc it’s okay. just know that it will pass, and it will get better. everything might seem so hard rn because you feel so alone in your own misery, but it won’t always be like this. but in the meantime, just let yourself feel.

try not to let yourself be consumed by the sadness (don’t isolate yourself, try to reach out to friends, do some self care if you can) bc once you’re in that hole, it’s really hard to climb out of it. know that the heaviness in your heart will feel lighter one day, and you’ll feel okay again. maybe not now, but you will eventually.

we can’t always be happy and positive all the time, it’s human nature to feel negative emotions so don’t bottle up your emotions because that will never ever do you any good.

and sometimes, talking to a virtually anonymous person like myself does help, since i don’t know you irl and vice versa, so feel free to talk to me whenever. doesn’t have to be for advice or anything like that, it can be sth as simple as what you had for lunch or what you’re grateful for that day :) ily and i know you’re gonna get through this, i believe in you <3

You said you loved all FB characters, but who was the character you never cared about at all?

Oh I really like all Furuba's characters, except kyo's dad & Akito's mom, but I'm starting to see these two in new light now that the anime is over. Not liking them at all. They’re 100% negative & toxic even within the canon story!, but now I really see them, if you get what I'm saying. They’re the core of two characters: kyo/akito who affected other characters as well. I'll post my new thoughts abt them when I reach their manga chapters.

But character I never cared abt... umm... motoko! simply cuz her worshiping yuki is presented as sth with more positivity than negativity. In Furuba... " bullying" is a fun comedic gag if it is not directed to a sohma.

Her bullying attitude was never condemned beyond how it affected tohru briefly. Tohru was protected by the power of Uo/Hana. She continued to lead her army of worshipers into idolizing him & they bullied machi, which was totally fine (wasn't really) as it was used as a romantic tool to bridge the gap between yuki & machi, & a tool to set machi aside from the rest of yuki blind idolizers cuz she's the only one who " sees" the real yuki.. We saw motoko herself bullying kimi for... wait for it.. talking to yuki in a "scandalous manner" .. how dear she.. the innocent boi will be devoured by this female snake! but kimi stood her ground & taught them a lesson... more like bullied them back for gags & laughs...

Also, once motoko decided that tohru is good for yuki & stopped bullying tohru in her mind, we went deep into how her worshiping obsessive attitude is healthy for her & yuki.... her stalking, idolizing, preventing him from talking to ppl normally & locking him into a caged persona is what made their highschool years so memorable, they're literally floating. Her toxic love must be respected... therefore, Yuki is thankful. While they float, did their bullied victims who dared to love yuki differently float with them?.. I wonder.

Lots of time & space is dedicated to make this toxic one-sided relationship cute. All of us belong into fandoms & have ppl we idolize, it's cool. but once your feelings leave your chest & become toxic actions directed into the idolized target & his/her inner circle .. it's no longer cute...

I heard the author supports/loves/shiershes her. Maybe .. it's a cultural thing? idolizing someone romantically is cute in Japan? I duno.. The kpop culture is similar to this... " how dare you date oppa! he's an innocent man who never even kissed his own mommy!"... Even the west has similar attitude, but instead of wanting the idol stay " version/pure", the idolization is directed towards the idol's persona..making him/her untouchable & setting on a high pedestal of a constructed image...

My point is... Furuba poses as this " educational" show. lots of direct lessons are given on a regular episodic manner & very direct language & imagery either by tohru, shigure, kyoko or yuki. Very direct. but still fails to comment on school bullying/ idolization/ fanclubs culture. If the FB wasn't abt giving mature advice, I wouldnt care at all... School Rumble is an example where such extreme things can be treated as gags. That show is just romantic fun comedy, nothing more.

This is a part of Furubsa than I don't like. It's not cute to stalk & impose ur perspective on others. Motoko, according to the author, is shown to love yuki purely & genuinely but wrongly. That's why machi is created to be better & love him rightfully. Motoko is created to make us appreciate machi... too bad in the anime.. motoko had more character existence than machi. But motoko was never created to comment on the toxic fan culture. On the contrary, the fanculb continues till yuki graduates & yuki is shown be thankful.

Bullying is a serious traumatic experience in high school & is presented inside a show which discusses child trauma as a core theme. Nothing abt it deserves a graduation song, nor floating montage.

Thanks fore the ask!

I've been thinking about the Sonic the Hedgehog comics lately...

I don't know if Bunnie Rabbot's characterizations (specifically, how she handles & reacts to her half-roboticized body throughout her life) is a positive or negative depiction of real-life disabled individuals' experiences, if her story creates problematic connotations? Is her story reflective of the disabled community at all? How should one view her through the lense of disability?

Like...in her original backstory, the roboticization process was meant to turn her into one of Dr. Robotnik's robot slaves. It's portrayed as an unexpected assault/violation against her body and she's saved before becoming fully roboticized. But in her rebooted backstory, her limbs were crushed during childhood and she needed medical intervention to survive. So roboticization technology was used to transform (or replace??) her limbs and saved her life. In both contexts her condition was forced upon her without her consent but for very different reasons. And in both contexts, she sometimes mourns the absence of her fully organic, "normal" self.

In her rebooted backstory, her roboticized limbs seem to mirror the function of prosthetics, given that she had to learn to walk and use her limbs again, which was at times a painful and clumsy process. On top of that, other children teased her for having visible physical differences (but Tails, Sally, Sonic and others treated her like family and stood up for her).

When she's older, I remember one specific scene in which a 100% robotic Mobian is brawling with Bunnie. The Mobian notes Bunnie's half-roboticized body compared to her own fully-robotic body, and makes a comment like "what's wrong with a little self-improvement?" Then Bunnie emotionally lashes out at her saying "I never asked for this!!!" (I don't remember if the specific Mobian was a member of the Dark Egg Legion and therefore had their body replaced with cybernetics, or if their body was transformed by traditional roboticization. The character was green and looked like a robotic deer. I digress.)

Though when Bunnie was de-roboticized and got her organic limbs back that one time (I think Pre-SuperGenesisWave??), I remember she felt insecure about her impact as a Freedom Fighter and felt powerless to protect her loved ones (no more super strength, ability to fly, arm canon, shield, etc). She feels emotional conflict during this physical change, and this part of her character arc emphasizes the complexity of her condition: that her roboticized limbs are both a blessing and a curse. She misses being a bot-bustin' badass of the team.

And I feel there could be layers to unpack regarding how robots and robotics in general are viewed in Sonic's world. If I remember correctly, I think fully roboticized Mobians (labelled "Robians") had a stigma against them in the Pre-SuperGenesisWave stories?? I thought Bunnie's Uncle Baron mentioned something about people abusing and turning away a population of Robians in StH 217+218. And then there's the practice of willingly transplanting your organic body for cybernetic parts in service of the Dark Egg Legion, a villain group. And the fact that roboticization is used for evil purposes by Dr. Robotnik. I've read only a fraction of all the Archie Sonic comics; if I got something wrong please correct me lol.

I'm not disabled myself, so I have NOT experienced first-hand the ways the world interacts with and treats the disabled community, nor do I have a say in how to properly represent disabled individuals' experiences. I feel like there's nuanced themes to unpack and discussion to be had regarding Bunnie Rabbot's character.....I'm curious to hear the thoughts and perspectives of disabled individuals out there?

I think David is basically cancelled, at least on SM. He is unemployable by some popular TV network. His name is once again connected to negative connotations and emotions, mainly by women who are the main target for his work offerings/ TV, books even his CDs. I am really curious what will happen next re book sales etc. he can finance his music career, but if people won’t come to concerts, this path will also end. I am curious if Gillian will be a good sport and promote his book on her SM.

Okay this might get long again 😅🙈 I don’t know if he is cancelled. To me to be cancelled you need to be part of sth. And tbh his SM in general isn’t active at all. He isn’t usi it to build his brand nor is he trying to maintain it. So idk about him being cancelled. In today’s industry if you don’t have a SM strategy and if you don’t put the minimum effort into keeping your name out there the quick cycle of news/shows/etc will just swallow you and you’ll be forgotten. He ain’t a 30sth year old A-list hotshot.

Therefore I think he isn’t cancelled completely by the general public, he just isn’t on their radar at all. If you talk fandom it of course is possible that due to what is out there about him it lead to people stop caring about him so in that regard him being cancelled by fans is a possibility.

As to what will happen next if I remember correctly his book will come out in February then there is the craft movie but I haven’t been following what’s happening with that so no clue about it. And then Brad on twitter I think said sth about another tour which won’t happen as long as Mister Covid is having his year out blasting our asses.

I think if he tours somewhere he has never been before people will come to his concerts because it might be the only chance for them to see Mulder/ Hank for real. And I get why you would ignore his shortcomings for those 2h and grab that chance. His second tour in the EU already wasn’t as packed as the first one.

The question is why is it considered being a good sport? He hasn’t been a good sport for her on SM. She has supported his endeavors way more than he has and because of that I wouldn’t blame her for not posting about his book. Further her SM is worked on maintaining and expanding her brand and reach. She/her team puts in the work and he isn’t doing shit and he shouldn’t “need” Gillian to do promo for him. If he even did the minimum of SM work and effort it would be different to me. So last but not least no clue if Gillian will or won’t but I’m fine with either
