hey, your video compilation of 4chan post about shield is a great ressource for fandom psychology. Interesting to see another user who lurk the wrestling board and use tumblr. Did you ever work on compilation of the tumblr fandom during the peak of the shield era ? I did not research it yet. xoxo

glad someone liked that video, only in times when im super fixated on something will i end up searching through the 4chan archives for more content...unfortunately 4chan vernacular tends to get a laugh out of me (if it isnt absolute lowtier content, had to scrape through a lot of that). the shield stuff i tried to get from when it was at its peak and you'll see posts on there from 2013+, but i also got modern stuff now bc the boardspeak actually changed with it.

ironically it is way easier to deepdive and compile stuff from 4chan bc it has a much better archival system than tumblr; ive also looked for lots of old stuff on deviantart due to the crossover but i found that it has a pretty shitty way of archiving/sorting older posts (just like on here. ive been on tumblr since 13 so i know what sorts of areas to look for, but its still very hard to find it directly on here. i havent spent as much time as i did getting those posts for that video so i can try harder.)

fandom psychology is interesting to me too so im happy you saw my video with that angle. ive collected lots of old shield fangirl content off of sites like weheartit and pinterest (ironically those are often better at keeping images up for longer periods of time) too but i didnt know if i should make a comp, maybe i will. i also looked through random forums and places like lolcow dot farms (which only really granted one of the screenshots...not too much discussion over there for good or bad. i was hoping to find discussion abt shieldfangirls or wrestling rpf but surprisingly they didnt think to make a "point and laugh" thread abt those topics). i find it interesting how much shieldrelated psychosis was on both sides of the spectrum (tumblr vs 4chan)....i could talk more on it but im a little brainless and sleep deprived rn

heres some extras i had that didnt make the cut (plus just some of my favorites):

and these were from a thread talking abt the modern stereotypical tumblr wrestling fan (specifically talking abt aedubs young bucks fans/the elite fans)

(*fangirl in this is a term im using loosely of course)

#surprisingly there is actually LESS shield blingees than dx or cm punk blingees. that at least i could find. theres a large number of #desktop background edits from deviantart and content like the fanfic edits/“outfits i would wear to meet the shield”/ogflowercrown phone bg #collages. and the like. i could compile all this shit i just didnt think it mattered to anyone LOL #sorry for the long post everyone #the most interesting thing abt the shields hayday and eventual fall on 4chan was 1) how many guys unironically loved seth up until he #“turned shoot faggot”/or the first knee injury. he was a fan favorite on there even with the contrarian posters saying otherwise (most of #4chan is just being. the contrarian so that tracks). and 2) the huge divide between guys who hated ambrose (usually bc he was over with #female fans...theres still that divide with how straight men dont understand favs among women. also goes along w my noted difference in fav #among queer men/women etc etc - but they would mask this by saying they hated that he was a jobber (true) or his inring technique was slopp #) and guys who adored ambrose bc he was a promo guy...they loved his early promos/“he just like me fr”.. (and a large grouping of dudes who #would call him cute). i dunno just stuff i noticed #also. obviously a lotta mox hate due to dickriding cornette #the shields peak is interesting to me so i might continue to compile more shit like this when i get the time. i have the shield dvds too #and wanted to do a LONG journey of p1rat1n6 all their scenes off of pcock while i still have my sub. but it would take a while #also. love ur acc bc i too enjoy thinkin abt the fem versions of dude wrestlers #fleshclipstag #tactical-asks

Once I head someone say Sarah is the only really necessary or meaningful female character, and that Nazz and the Kankers are pretty much disposable; ''Nazz has no personality, and the Kankers are absent from 50% of episodes and are just a Diabolous ex-machina ending when they appear. The could work very well without any of them.''

What do you think of this?

are they implying that she's only "meaningful" because she's related to ed? because...yikes dog. sarah serves a pretty similar role to the kankers in that she foils the scams and pranks and acts as an obstacle and/or deterrent. an antagonist. but the way they fulfill the role and the reaction they get from the eds are different in ways that i'm too lazy to get into at the moment.

now i could genuinely be missing something because i've never taken a class on media analysis or whatever the fuck, but i truly don't get what people mean when they say nazz is uniquely lacking in personality. i'm not saying eene has excellent, fleshed out female characters, but some people act as if 1) any of the non-eds have highly complex personalities that are explored canonically 2) being kind, outgoing, flirtatious, sporty, etc. aren't personality traits. just because someone doesn't like her personality doesn't mean it doesn't exist. and we know just as much, if not more about nazz's interests than we do the kankers. or jonny: he likes wood, is laid back and seems to enjoy superheroes. or kevin: he likes bmx. he's a bully. he has a crush on nazz. he's buds with rolf, whose backstory we probably know the most about after the eds (maybe even more?). then there's jimmy who lowkey has a great, complex personality.

seems like since nazz is pretty, is into stereotypically "girly" things and is nice, people consider her a "bad" (female) character. which to me is hilarious and ironic. these are the same people who call the kankers "evil". like okay... 😂

this idea that all female characters are supposed to be virtuous geniuses... it's a show about 3 dumbass preteen boys. there are tons of female-led shows available out there, and female main characters galore. these people should go watch em. seriously. im tired of hearing about it frankly.

oh and if edd was canonically a girl, people would hate her and call her a mary sue 👍

#idk i might delete this later bc i'm in a piss poor mood atm and i don't mean to sound harsh #as usual not ranting at you anon #but people can make up tomes of fanon lore for these male cartoon characters #but suddenly the hc well runneth dry when it's time to get creative with a female character whose backstory isn't spelled out for them #i'm not saying you have to divide your attention equally between male and female characters because i don't #but i also don't need my cartoons to be feminist manifestos lmfao #i have to live as an afab every day i have my own thanks #just saying if someone wants female stories with great female characters they're out there #stop looking for them on netflix and amazon prime maybe #okay let me stop because i'm getting riled up and going off the deep end #i don't even care like THAT but once i get going i can't stop #can you tell i've had a terrible week #oh and to the anon who sent the ask about a certain ship #sorry mate i'm not posting that one #text

Ok yes America hating the cold is funny (eh) BUT. have you considered that I like the imagery of an America sitting alone in the forest in the bleak mid-winter landscape of an east coast woods, all alone in both body and mind, agonizing over her seeming doom to be stuck in the throes of loneliness for all eternity?

#aph nyo america #aph america #i want engagement <3 #secret confession i actually hate that canonically america doesnt do well in the cold #it gives too much ammo to the west coasters (villains) who can’t let my poor baby alfred be the east coast girl he truly is #also in a broader sense i feel like it creates a weird divide in both the portrayal of america and the connection he has with his country #as its representation #america is one of the most climate diverse countries in the entire world and i feel like making the REPRESENTATION OF AMERICA not be able t #handle a large majority of his country’s climate is an Odd choice and creates an unfortunate barrier between american culture #and the way it’s portrayed in hetalia #imo one of the most amazing parts of the geography of the us is its ability to be a metaphor for the american people #so insanely diverse and fundamentally different and completely irreconcilable—but it works anyways. #the land works together anyways //we// work together anyways we become one anyways despite what any and all logic dictates #what any and all logic DEMANDS #so for america to not be able to represent that cohesion + community—and in fact represent an intense and almost INNATE complete inability #to even try being accepting of and embracing our differences—is just.. not something I like + insinuates a very odd view of American cultur #my eyes are shutting as i type this im so tired #sorry if this is horribly written rip #i see this a lot in the hetalia fandom (IK I JUST DID IT IN THIS POST LMAO BUT I SWEAR I DO IT AS A JOKE; I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE WEST #COAST AND AM FULLY AWARE OF ITS ROLE IN THE US CULTURE AND FUNCTION) where people write alfred as being almost hostilely exclusionary??? #towards certain areas of america—city al who doesn’t like the country; country al who doesn’t like the newfangled cities; northerner al #who hates the southerners (because theyre poor + dont fit the author’s view of respectable people BUT THATS FOR A DIFFERENT POST);southerne #al who hates the northerners—and it’s all very gross to me. america is not—at its core—a country/culture founded on separation!! our ideals #are based on being—at our most basic—separate multi-faceted individuals who COME TOGETHER!! as one because of common ideals and love #E PLURIBUS UNUM!!!!!! #ok im done gn

#the two things tumblr has over twt are the tags (number 1 feature fr) and the ask box #twt is so eugh. i have to REPLY??? to things to show support? RTing feels so impersonal sorry #if i want to talk to someone whose interp i admire i have to message them???? screeching in tags whenever they post isn't enough?? #would prefer to crawl into a hole for the next year thank you #twt also feels so closed off like the only people in the replies are op's mutuals and that's it.. everyone's in their own little friendgrou #no communal enclosure and a lot less interaction between people who make 'content' and people who consume it it's aaaaaaaaa #it just feels a little impersonal and divided idk OTL i much prefer tumblr where i can see the Thoughts tm of rebloggers #it's cute that way . i'm sure everyone looking at a piece of art or writing has thoughts and it's nice seeing what peoples reactions are #not just a one way street yknow? #anyways. #ramblings! #genshin impact #yes this is primarily because all the genshin artists are on twt the semi bane of my existence

In a special moral conondrum where I think a post is incredibly hot but it's also very out of character therefore I cannot reblog for it makes my brain explode

not to start shit but. tell me you didn't understand princess jellyfish without telling me you didn't understand princess jellyfish

#idk idk something about the lines we draw to divide women being ultimately useless as they degrade both sides #something something bridging gaps between people with different interests #something something literal actual sisterhood and solidarity between women #i'm never one to defend tiktok i'm not even on there and it surprises me that princess jellyfish is being brought up #but like. what is this supposed to mean. to 'tiktokify' something #girlboss narrative what hello? what? you're throwing words at me and i don't know what they mean #but it's hilarious that this post comes off as something the sisterhood would have posted before all their character development #because this is a story about empowerment not through appearance- but that inner change is what beauty is made of #the development tsumiki and the other members of the sisterhood get is not that now they dress well #but that their often self-imposed isolation is not an antidote to os being ostracized in high school and having social anxiety #and that they've dehumanized other women in the process of defending themselves #and it's not that they have to change who they are of their interests but that they full accept themselves and can therefore #be comfort with who they are #and better navigate the world. and form friendships . and human connection and FUCK #like what are you talking about #sorry i know no one here follows me for princess jellyfish takes but that's what we're gonna get today #i think when you have a fandom / readership as small as pj (in the west at least) every bad take hits that much harder lmao #anyway. kuranosuke princess rights. we are all princesses. etc etc #princess jellyfish #kuragehime #screeds #screeds fR FR #txt #i didn't want to tag this person or show their name bc it ain't personal i just want to address takes like these . #“girl's girls are toxic” “not like other girls are toxic” what if we were all princesses idk. what if we loved each other

I still genuinely believe that playing Granblue for love is the most enjoyable way to play it, as in, I got into the game because of specific characters and then fell in love with more of the world

But I also have to believe there's an incredible sense of vindication in loving a character who's also just objectively good in the meta? Like, you love them and they're good and you can use them to beat difficult enemies, you can fight "with" them in a sense

Like, I'm happy when someone in the hivemind mentions building a party out of blorbos and it working well. I love that and I'm happy to hear it. There's soul and heart in it and not just grinding for the sake of grinding

Then again, I'm a pretty low level player and I know I'm not built for the HL stuff

I think everyone has their own reasons to play gbf or any game, but it's easy to lose sight of the fact different types of players exist (and the (mutual) contempt or even gatekeeping that often follows in its wake).

Personally I do need a strong incentive to pick up a game. I was on and off gbf for years until Sandalphon hooked me fully-- but I had my eye on a bunch of other characters even before him, I just needed a push.

So perhaps shockingly I am also into gbf because I love the characters, I just swing back and forth a lot between objectives.

At the end of the day it's about how you have fun. Progression isn't linear nor is it required.

I kind of ended up writing way too much in response so I'll put it under a read more.........

So like, as someone who's fairly high up in the content and does things both for meta and faves?

The thing with meta is that for most of all characters, it shifts over time. Characters fall in and out of meta or may get new alts that are or aren't meta. Even characters everyone thinks of as top tier have places where they aren't that great. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely awesome when your fave is meta-- but designing teams around your fave to make them perform alongside or in spite of meta is vindicating too. I really think any character can perform in general content.

Generally meta isn't the damning end-all it may seem, far from it. I think meta only has chokehold on 2 things. Racing (getting the most points, either for events like Unite & Fight or something like racing for points for chests in raids) and whatever the 'true' endgame content is at the time. But even for those, there are always options, and as time goes on we get more resources to work with, making teams more flexible.

That said, I do enjoy figuring out teams for specific fights like they're puzzle pieces. I get more enjoyment when I fit my favorites in there, but initially the reward is in figuring out a team to begin with. I'm a bit in between faves and meta, though lately I've been leaning much more into my faves. I find that I'm okay with running 1 fave on a team if the meta makes it possible for me to run that character, and then I'll gradually slot in more faves when I can. But that's me. My whole wind team frontline for endgame is faves, and arguably only 1 of those, Seofon, is true meta for some of that content. (Yes I do love Kaguya for her design). Outside of that frontliner team, I'm able to run even more faves!

I also enjoy building teams to make the lives of my friends easier, I can either run raids for them or help them figure out teams, often including their faves when I can. I'd go as far as to say that most of the game can easily be played with your favorites, with more and more restrictions starting to apply the higher you go in terms of difficulty. And that's okay. You don't have to play those. Or you might eventually play those and figure that yeah, if it's just for this fight, the team doesn't matter that much when it helps you get things to invest into your faves. It might even let you discover a new favorite if you experiment.

It's good to know the type of player you are and play the way that works for you. Like me, this can also change over time or depending on your mood. There's no reason to bother with HL content or break your head over things that aren't fun. If you enjoy logging in and playing your Omega raids with your faves and signing back out, great. If you find yourself wanting to take on Bahamut with your faves, also great. Hell, if you sign in just to look at your home screen character, sigh lovingly, and go to sleep, also also great.

gbf does get pretty grindy if you let it, but it can be spaced out or made easier, too. Personally I let my game run on full auto 95% of the time, designing teams around this in order to make my faves stronger and content easier as I go. If you struggle to come up with your own teams, store-bought (youtube,wiki,guides) is fine.

I'll admit my own main problem is time, I struggle to keep up with the world I fell in love with and may not have the time or patience for that for a while. So I really enjoy seeing the activity on Icha's blog for that reason and staying in the loop through that.

At the end of the day it's about how you have fun. Progression isn't linear nor is it required.

“However, this year is different. This year marks the very first Quarter Quell, and parents don't have to worry about whether their children might be taken away because, for this once-in-a-lifetime event, they get to choose who goes into the arena.” Why was Juniper chose? I just realized this.

About a year before the games, there was a group that was stealing some of the crops and goods that District 11 produced and was giving them to the people/families that weren't able to work. It was a kind of a well-known secret throughout District 11 that if you needed help/food, you'd seek someone out who was part of the group, and they'd help. Junipers older brother, Wynn, had landed himself into a position where he was in trouble with the peacekeepers and offered up the names of the members in this group in exchange for a pardon. After the deal was made, word got out of who exposed the group very quickly, and from that point forward, people were very cold towards Juniper and their family.

When the Quell was announced, the people of District 11 saw as an opportunity to take revenge for what Wynn did, so they voted Juniper into the games

#thanks anon! #and before yall ask yes Junipers brother feels awful and wishes that they wouldve just killed him instead of bringing his brother into it #ive always thought that the poorer districts would use the 1st quell as an opportunity for revenge #while the richer districts would use it to show the best fighters they had #once again drawing divides not just between the districts #but within the actual districts as well #juniper district 11. #wynn district 11. #sorry if this makes no sense my brain is being weird today

I’m starting to kinda simp for ur characters but I’m afraid to because i don’t know which ones are personas or not

That's alright! Sona or not I'm fine with any simping of my characters 💙 (so long as they're the adults)

If you do wanna know all my sonas though, it's a bit of a list but! As follows:

Human(kind of..); Mocha/Latte, Latha/Ellise, Momo

Monster: Alkai/Altair/Aziral, Scout/Flout, Ridley, Muave, Raz, Axel, Fitz

There's at least one piece of art of all the sonas, except for Fitz and both Mocha and Latte, technically yes for Mocha but not an updated reference or actual tag

If you have anymore questions though, feel free to ask! ^^

#they do often end up a main focus #but! i promise not every character i make is a sona XD #my brain has a distinction between what makes a sona or an oc #but i cant really describe it my brain just puts a little divider between them #i do have so so many ocs too so it kind of balances out i guess #*if i talked about them that is* #maybe i should start trying to post drabbles cause i love writing my 'little facts' #anyway sorry for the rambling this made my brain go on such a tagent im awake now

I voted for stoncy having a chat but please tag me in any and everything!

sorry this took so long, i totally forgot i worked all weekend lol. so far yours was the only ask for the wip game but im considering giving little snippets for each and tagging the people who said they voted for that (and if i do ill absolutely tag you!! <3) for stoncys little chat ive got my staright-from-brain, 0 editing word mush down in a play by play of events. ive taken out bits that are too revealing or just basic reminders of character motivations to present to you the most basic version in my process (wahoo!)

Nancy takes a deep breath and is like "we need to talk about.. A lot." And Steve nods. Both have a sec to try and think of how they want to bring their different confrontations up. Steve opens his mouth to talk but fails but Nancy notices and switches to encouraging him to say what he wants.

he doesn't really know where to start and doesn't want to start with an accusation or big vulnerability so hes like ".. I want to talk about what happened in the bathroom at tina’s party, our fight." And shes like. "Okay lets start there then (thinking it'll reveal if it was a breakup or not). I know i said things while i was drunk and i promise i actually don't remember." And hes like "no no i didn't think you were lying about that." And shes like "okay..." and doing a face thing to prompt what he did think. And he struggles a bit before saying "well you uh you were trying to get punch off your shirt and was getting frustrated because it wasn't working. And then you started say bullshit a lot, just like ‘its bullshit’ over and over. And then uh.. You said it was me, that was bullshit. And that whole.. Thing, where i don't care that we.. with barb. and we’re just pretending like we’re in love, which (shakes his head no). And then i asked if you loved me and.. (vauge-ass hand gesture) ‘its bullshit’ so.. So i left. and im pretty sure Jonathan took you home."

#devon's steve henderson au #steve henderson au rambles #sorry for very little jonathan content here hes definitely out of the loop on half this shit. rip #also welcome to be barest bones writing when word dont word well and we pull out the just-describe-it-like-your-telling-a-friend method #i love the 'and hes like _' method because it keeps me from getting focused on specific word choice and just lets me lay out the scene #without worrying about describing things efficiently or clearly #can you tell i prefer screenwriting lol #also sorry for no paragraph breaks between dialogue its more broken into areas for me to expand later like dividing chores into sections

A friend: “But why did you make his (Euron’s) rooms the attic of the gdamn sea tower? That’s so edgy.” Me, looking at the camera like.

I just like to fondly imagine Harlon, Quenton, Donel and Balon making fun of their baby brother for wanting the attics like an absolute emo. If there was a basement, he’d want the basement, but there is no basement because have you seen Pyke?? Besides, I don’t wanna miss out on all the crow puns I can make regarding attics and crow’s nests. And all the absolute inane sibling drama.

Donel, miming Lady Syreen: “It has to be repaired Quellon, or my ickle wickle wittle baby will catch a plague!” Balon, in that long-suffering way of his: “You remember that’s my mother too, right?” Donel, laughing: “Does she??”

#I like to think Donel is like Euron minus the mad-assery #just constant burns that make you want to throttle him #and no magic cocaine to excuse it #Yes you should be afraid #And Balon just has Mom Likes My Baby Brother Better vibes #There's a decent age gap between the four eldest and four youngest squids #with Balon and Euron flanking that divide #And I am not saying that being favoured to death by your mother makes you a terrible person #but if you are a terrible person that does NOT help getting your head on straight and decent #Bonus points if your big brothers are mean to you cuz you're a little shit #but mom agrees with you #I am sorry I love these jackasses #even if they only live in my head #house greyjoy #euron greyjoy #balon greyjoy #a saga of bears & lions #more like squids but anyway

I like how you headcanon Day as more proactive (like a nice parallel to Vice Versa and PuenTalay where Puen was more proactive). Let baby gay be horny for his poor hot mechanic boyfriend. Btw we know very small amount of information but how do you WANT it to be: do you want Day to be gay? Or bi? And what about Mork? Do you want them/one of them to have dating experience? What should be their view of love be?

im SO HAPPY you like the idea of day being the more proactive one because i think that's really one of the thing i want the most out of this show!!!! i also think it fits what little we saw of them in the mock trailer: mork is flirty, but he's also older and works as day's caretaker, so he's painfully aware of - as he calls them - "the boundaries of his responsibility", which is probably what is going to stop him from pursuing an actual relationship with day. day, on the other hand, doesn't have these qualms, and at the end of the trailer he is the one to go in for a kiss, so i LOVE the idea of day going after what he wants once he realizes his feelings for mork

as for your questions, right now im mostly headcanoning mork as bi and day as gay, similarly to puentalay, though i wouldn’t really be able to explain why ;;;;; i also think mork has definitely dated before, while im not so sure about day: he’s an athlete, so he must have been really popular in school, but it also means that all his energies were probably devoted to training and that he didn’t have time to hang out with friends, much less to actually date

and maybe it’s because of this difference in their experiences, but i would love to see mork being kinda disillusioned when it comes to love and day being the more.. idealistically romantic one. mork is in debt and can’t see a future for himself, and maybe in the past he had some relationships that didn’t end well, so i could easily imagine him thinking that love isn’t really for him because he doesn’t believe he gets to have a happy ending, while day seems to like stories, and love in stories is always passionate and sensational and bigger than yourself, so that’s what he expects for himself too. it would be nice if by being together they could learn that happiness and love are in the small gestures they choose to give and receive from each other every day

#honestly just give me mork and day arguing about their personal view of love over books #day makes mork read him ‘romeo and juliet’ which sparks a week long debate between them #mork thinks they were fools who should have just forgotten about their feelings because it was never going to end well #day thinks that no matter how it ended or however brief it was the most important thing is that they did get to love each other #OH YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I WOULD LOVE #a kiss spurred by a book they're reading like paolo and francesca in dante's inferno #'when as we read of the much-longed-for smile/being by such a noble lover kissed/this one who ne’er from me shall be divided/ #kissed me upon the mouth all palpitating' #anyway #the fact that im already so rabid about them cannot possibly be good for my health #also sorry for the late reply anon!!! #kinda had a hard time putting my thoughts into words and i still feel like half of what i wrote isn't in english #but thank you so much for giving me the chance to talk about them!!!!! #ilu 💜 #last twilight #morkday #m: ask
