I know I and many others talk often about the negative and hard sides of disability so here are some good things that I've experienced that may help some other people find things to enjoy that aren't just ~think positive~ ~do yoga~

First thing! Sports I absolutely love sports and one of the hardest things about my mobility decreasing as I grew up was that I lost the ability to do a lot of what I loved. Para sports are amazing and it is always good to be active and exercise as well as just lots of fun, they are also the main way that I connected with other fellow disabled people and found community. Lots of city's and towns have free programs where you can try out different para sports and those are great ways to figure out if you want to pursue one in specific. I personally play competitive para hockey as well as other wheelchair sports like wheelchair basketball and tennis.

Get into crafts that are practical for your every day life, decorate your mobility aid, sew adaptive clothing take a cooking course so you can better accommodate your own dietary needs, do art therapy, crochet or knit bags and organizers to hold your things!

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

I love n64 games. They were like the Nintendo version of 80s kids' movies.

"Rated E for Everyone!"

For those of you calling 2012 Mikey innocent and constantly babying him and saying he must be protected, you are literally doing the exact thing that he hates.

2012 Mikey has stated in the show that he hates being treated like a child and doesn’t like it when people look/treat him as such. Yes, his brothers are still gonna be protective of him but that’s brotherly instincts. He is the youngest after all.

But we have to remember that in the end…

Mikey is NOT innocent. He has committed manslaughter. He literally ate PizzaFace alive, who is a mutant that used to be a living human being.

Mikey does NOT need to be protected. He can handle himself. He managed to figure out and survive in Dimension X all on his own for what seemed like weeks/months. He also took on villains like Tiger Claw, Rahzar and Newtralizer by himself!

Mikey is NOT a baby. Mikey is a skilled ninja. Splinter has stated that Mikey has the highest intuition compared to his brothers. He was also willing to sacrifice and die for his friends and family in an attempt to to stop Newtrailzer, staying behind as Dregg’s ship exploded.

mildly frustrated at how many 'we need to talk about lizzie more' posts ive seen and the distinct lack of actual posts of art or writing about lizzie that ive seen cross my dash

like guys i thought we wanted to talk about lizzie and not the fandom's problems when is that happening

#not to be bitter but i got 3 likes and 0 reblogs on my lizzie fic that i posted last night #whereas i usually get like 26 ish notes for my other stuff in the same amount of time #and like. ive seen SO many posts of 'dont forget lizzies story' #i definitely havent!! i am definitely writing lizzie-centric things!!! #its just that no one cares to actually /read/ it #it does feel a little less like caring about lizzie's story and more about protesting against the misandry by using lizzie's story #as an example #idk maybe im thinking too much about this but yk. support artists and writers pls #dont just compain about how no one is writing when i am!!! we are writing!!! we are drawing!!! #are you reading? are you reblogging? #wren wrambles #im not gonna maintag this cause its more of a rant than anything but #yeah

The difference between

and

I dunno what to call it but I love when fans come up with clever puns/joke names to call characters who are impostors or alternate versions of other characters. Like Madeline in Celete's anxiety-personification being called "Bad-eline" and the person who impersonates Iosefka in Bloodborne being dubbed "Faux-sefka" and how we all called the evil hologram of the Professor from Puppet History "The Substitute" like give me more of that now and forever please and thank you!!

#PLEASE ADD MORE EXAMPLES IN THE TAGS/REBLOGS I LOVE THIS SHIT #bloodborne #celeste #puppet history #watcher entertainment #fromsoft #badeline celeste #iosefka bloodborne #the substitute ph #the substitute was inspired whoever came up with that is a genius #bcs he's a substitute teacher....and literally a copy of him....10000/10

anyways. one thing about fanon in general is that it's not just that it reduces characters down to one trait (tho that is a big thing), it's that the side characters are soley and entirely designed to serve the main character's story.

which. side characters existing mainly to serve the main character's story is part of the point of them being a side character, but a good side character should still exist as a 3-dimensional person outside of the main character. they should have their own morality and feelings, even if those come into conflict with the main character's morality and feeling. in fact, that conflict is often essential to challenge the main character in an authentic way & make him see a different point of view.

and canon usually does this decently well. even though side characters can and do get thrown under the bus for the main character in canon, they often still have their own personality. goals. motivations that exist outside of the main character. however, since fanworks have a tendency to trend towards exploring/promoting one character's "side" & towards hm wanting that character to get pampered and rewarded by the narrative that's being created, you get this thing where the side characters and their potential motivations and personality genuinely don't matter because the narrative being created doesn't call for those motivations or personalities since they would do a disservice to the main character vs a service to. and so you get where they only exist to check an archetypal box for the main character to interact with to showcase the main character.

like. consider good dad bruce. a lot of times, those kids only exist as an avenue through which bruce can be a good dad. their actual personalities, motivations, conflicts with him don't matter--only that a semi blank character who is shoehorned into an archetype is there, upon whom he can bestow his goodliness dadliness. whether they would react that way, or actually appreciate his parenting genuinely doesn't matter. they exist only in service to showcasing bruce's skills as a good dad.

#sry im thinking about some posts i've reblogged recently and putting together my thoughts #listen i'm specifically not giving fanon tim examples of which there are many #i am well aware his character is one of the worst offenders here #but this is not actually specifically about him it's more about how i feel side characters exist in relation to main characters #in fanon in general #anyways i hope this makes sense. #i feel like flanderization of characters also occurs mainly due to this phenomenon as well

The Motion Picture Production Code (colloquially known as the Hays Code) circa 1956 vs Tumblr Fandom Police circa 2023

Spot the difference!

#proship #anti censorship #hays code #i wanted to add more examples of antis basically saying thought crimes are real #but tbh my folder of screenshots is soooo looonnggg and i have better things to do #feel free to add more examples in the reblogs tho :) #history is a straight line etc etc #also i know the hays code is from the 30s but this specific screenshot is of a printed copy of it from 1956

One thing I find really hilarious to think about sometimes is just how much older/younger a lot of the real-life Expedition crew members were compared to their fictional counterparts.

Like, 25 year-old Goodsir, anyone? Or 27 year-old Collins for that matter?

26 year-old Bridgens and 37 year-old Peglar? Ludicrous!

On the one hand, it blows my mind a little bit that I'm currently the same age as the likes of Fitzjames and Le Vesconte.

But on the other hand, I look at all of my male contemporaries - God's Perfect Idiots to a man - and think "Aw shit, yeah, it all makes sense now! Men are just fuckin' like that, huh?"

#Reblog and tag an Expedition member who shares your current age #If nothing else I'm interested to see who here is a literal babby and who's not #Sillyposting #Rum Posting #For real though I do find it so interesting to think about how differently age and maturity would've been perceived #Like 'You're twelve years-old and therefore a grown man now - time for you to run away to sea and support a family on your earnings!' #On the one hand a 31 year-old like Fitzjames - for example - would've had significantly more life experience than many 31 year-olds today #Would've had completely different expectations of adulthood and maturity placed upon them from a much much earlier age #But on the other hand people have always been people #Foolish young men have always been foolish young men #So the differences are probably also not nearly as vast as we might expect #The Terror

It’s wild how shipping culture has changed so drastically over time on the internet.

In the old days people shipped characters who either had only one line of dialogue with each other, never even met, or not even from the same piece of media. It was the wild west and sure some ships were uncomfortable but people had the mindset to just block the tag and stay away from ships they didn’t enjoy.

Nowadays? It’s more like people have to clarify that their ship isn’t canon compliant, character adjacent, and story irrelevant otherwise they get a flood of comments saying “but this character isn’t like this in canon” and some people legitimately get angry if you’re not following the canon.

Like- shipping and fandom culture from what I understand it is about engaging with media in a way that caters to you. And if you don’t like a ship or show just… block the relevant tags and don’t engage in the ships? The internet isn’t supposed to cater to us- we have to cater ourselves to our internet environment. And no matter how many times people may harass others over a fandom or ship they don’t like, those ships are not gonna disappear.

The internet has just been getting worse when people have decided to place morality in their opinions by saying things like “if you enjoy the ship then you support (insert horrible thing here that’s usually completely unrelated to the ship itself)” when it used to be “eh, not my thing” and people just moved on.

And for the record this isn’t about a specific ship or anything- just an observation of how fandom has evolved (and regressed) over the years and I find it fascinating from a sociological perspective cause we still don’t know how having the internet from birth affects the development of kids and how that affects how they interact with others- isn’t that scary?

I know that’s slightly unrelated but the way people engage in media has been changing over they years and that also involves fandom and the maturity level thereof in the internet space and someone smarter than me could probably write a whole thesis paper about fandom culture and how the internet has hindered the social development of people and how that affects community specifically from a fandom lens.

Just- for your sanity younger internet children: it’s not worth harassing others over something as trivial as ‘it’s not canon that this character kisses another character.’ Just find ships you like. Block ships you don’t. And just enjoy your time doing what you like!

You can’t control the internet but you can nurture your little corner of it.

#shipping #canon ship #non canon ships #reader x character #self ship #I get so tired of seeing shipping posts and the comments or reply tweets are nothing but ‘but this isn’t canon tho!!!’ #sonny when I was your age we shipped characters who never even met in canon! #even with ships I don’t like- I get exhausted seeing people get bombarded by fourteen year olds who haven’t developed critical thinking yet #every day I agree more that people under 18 shouldn’t have access to the internet #this can also apply to people who act like ‘if you dont reblog or boost this post (insert social issue here) then you’re a bad person!!’ #like… no #you don’t have to apply moriality to a stinkin’ reblog button! #sure informing people is important but you don’t have to take the responsibility of the world’s issues #we’re all doing the best we can and you don’t have to prove your morality to be a good person #it’s okay to not engage with those kinds of posts if it makes you uncomfortable- that doesn’t affect your morality in any way #For example: ​I’m never gonna reblog gory posts showing battle zones #does that mean I support war? absolutely not! #I’m just protecting my mental health! and you need to as well #the internet is yours to make it how you want and if you want it to be an escape from the horrors of the world that’s okay #protect your happiness fam
