#that's the thing about ahit is that like. pretty much every character fucks up at least a little

[down-with-the-mafia]

mu was a child with too much power surrounded by some of the most violent and shitty adults like of course she turned out the way she did

#''she almost ended the world'' yeah I wonder why #it's almost like. being around the mafia really fucked with how her brain worked #and getting the time pieces have her an opportunity to cause a lot of damage #*gave #she's a kid she didn't know what the fuck she was doing #all she was thinking was ''these people are mean and bad. I should stop them'' #and she didn't have the self awareness to realize she was doing something wrong too #that's the thing about ahit is that like. pretty much every character fucks up at least a little #because people are flawed. #and in that game they saw a chance to use magic time powers and it made them all a little fucked up actually #I feel like sometimes people in the fandom #label characters as good or bad #and don't even realize that's literally what Mu was doing… #like I think the whole point was that yeah. everyone fucked up a little. #but instead of ending the world about it let's just try to. chill out and coexist maybe. #stop labelling everyone as bad guys and maybe reflect on yourself a bit or something #idk. it's 1:00 am and I'm having Mu thoughts. #anyway she's very traumatized.

Just remembered I didn't have this rant yet.

Tubbo called Tommy selfish before he exiled him and he was right. But. Tommy's selfishness was justified.

People that are only really joining the smp now probably dont quite get why tommys the "main character"

And while i cant speak for his revolutionary days I know that he gave his disks in exchange for independence. On his own. After already losing a life in the duel.

And from what I know both were his idea! Tommy lost two lives and two disks just to get lmanberg STARTED.

Then he was exiled with wilbur and had to live in hiding. Planning on getting back the country he pretty much sacrificed his most treasured possessions for. Seperated from his best friend. Only wilbur by his side.

He got technoblade involved.

He was there to witness wilbur losing it.

And he tried to talk with Wilbur! Noone ever mentions how he tries to battle against the corruption that grows in wilbur by talking to him. Imitating the way wilbur talks as best as he can.

But hes not quite as good at talking as wilbur and maybe wilbur doesnt even really want to listen to him anyways and it just becomes worse.

And theres pretty much noone there to witness it but technoblade until the festival.

And techno supports the whole corruption thing!

Tommy is pretty much completely isolated, fighting on every front. He fights against manberg, he fights against wilbur (his closest ally even at that point), he fights against dream supporting wilbur.

Then the festival happens and technos "betrayal"

And i was at that point a techno apologist. IF YOU FIND MY POSTS FROM THE FESTIVAL TIME I MADE POSTS LIKE THIS DEFENDING TECHNOBLADE HIGH AND LOW HE DID NOTHING WRONG.

But he also still killed tubbo. And noone but tommy seemed angry about that. So tommy got angry on tubbos behalf and the fucking pit happened and yada yada.

They take back lmanberg and FINALLY. All the selflessness, all the sacrifices he made payed off. He gave so much, he was dealt such a ahit card but he persevered and he did it. He couldve taken the easy way and accepted schlatts offer that one time when schlatt said he could join manberg. But nope, they took back lmanberg and everything was right.

And then techno and wilbur happened.

And every single sacrifice he made was for nothing. Less than bothing actually.

But anyways. Tommy just went through a fckin nightmare, canonically has nightmares about his insane brother and is pretty much fucked.

Everyone is busy with rebuilding and all but now. Now he needs to be selfish. Because hes given a lot and has nothing but trauma to show for it, so before he goes back to serving lmanberg he will be selfish and get his disks back to earn back some of his solid footing. Some ground to stand on. He indulges the stupid ideas he has more as a form of selfcare. And thus accidentally sets Georges house on fire. Not a big deal. Except that dream does make a big deal out of it.

And then the whole pre exile fiasco starts

And people often criticise that he didnt just behave for a few days but honestly? Can you blame him??? The kid has been stuck in a ravine for what mustve been months lorewise! He was as well behaved as Tommyinnit could probably be during that time.

But that chapter shouldve been over by now and he probably didnt have any selfcontrol left and hobestly? Same. You can only be on your best behaviour for so long before you explode. And dream made sure he'd explode too! He sent him whispers that were supposed to rile him up and all. His treatment before and during exile were designed by dream to not be fair in a way that was extremely obvious to him and only him.

And once again his selfishness pre exile was selfcare. It was to better his mental health. To ground him. And dream took that form of selfcare and made it punishable to an apaling degree.

No wonder his mental health plummeted so quickly.

Now dont get me wrong. Selfishness is ok UNTIL you hurt other people with it.

But his offense was minor and dream was the whole reason it spiraled in the way it did

By all means tommy shouldnt even have been punished for it!

It probably was the first time someone actually got officially punished for grieving a house and it was an accident!

Im not 100% sure but i think the days after thr 16th his house was griefed prettyuch daily. Drem himself blew up tnt in it not even an hour after techno left lmanberg! In front of everyone! And noone batted an eye!

Tldr: going after the disks was tommys pretty harmless attempt of selfcare after pogtopia and the 16th and dream took that coping mechanism and made it punishable at the highest decree which is just really fucked up.

#dream smp #analysis #i should stop ranting about blockmen at 5am #but there qre... just so many emotions inside of me...

[lesbian-roguefort]

ok i kinda wanna elaborate on my emotions surrounding sniscourse and the aftermath of both of em for a minute since it is the one year of the first one

so. the first sniscourse was started as something that I had wanted to talk about for MONTHS leading up to the cereal meme and my main post being created. it was about an issue that I had been ACTIVELY observing with my own two eyes for weeks on end. it wasn’t a problem created out of nothing or out of boredom or whatever, which is what I feel a lot of people thought.

when I made my first post, I had people telling me TO MY FACE that the things I’d been seeing and watching with my own two eyes weren’t real. that I was making things up and that everything was just in my imagination. that I was just mad that “my art isn’t getting any likes sad face :{{{{{{{{{”. i was being fucking gaslit, basically. and that’s not to say that I was the only one either; pretty much everyone who posted about the issue was told the same thing.

then I’d see all of these different opinions all across my dash. my mutuals and following split in two. it’s hard to even estimate how many people I had to unfollow that were spreading straight-up lies and hatred vaguely directed at me and the others who spoke out. the stress was almost unbearable. it was fucking awful.

sniscourse one came to a slow stop eventually. the ahit fandom was... surprisingly decent in its wake. like they learned their lesson for maybe a month before turning their backs on everything they had supposedly “learned” about treating artists with respect from snis1 and going back to overrunning everything. it sucked, but at that point I was very much ready to give up on the fandom and to leave it to rot and burn.

then, in nov 2020, snis2 happened! which is what solidified my hatred towards all sn*tcher fans.

snis2 originated from a post about how a majority of ahit fans observed the borderline abusive dynamic between sn*tcher and hat kid and decided to make them “““found family.”““ literally not even a hot take because of the canon content that supports this.

yet SOMEHOW, SOME CRAZY, INSANE FUCKING WAY, people STILL tried defending this. even when presented with ALL the canon evidence, we were met with “but he’s my comfort character 🥺🥺” and “but aus >:{{” and “but I don’t fucking care.” think about that for a second. I and other survivors of abuse spoke up and said “this dynamic is abusive” and were met with BACKLASH. put yourself in my shoes for a second. you’re an abuse survivor, and you’re being told, TO YOUR FACE, that a character whose traits are LITERALLY abusive that it isn’t abuse.

since then, things have been literally fucking awful. snis2 in particular is what solidified sn*tcher as a trigger for me. I literally could not bear to see them portrayed in a positive light without wanting to smash my skull in, and I STILL can’t. I still can’t listen to their voice. I still can’t look at art of them being portrayed in any positive way.

I still think about snis1 and especially snis2. every fucking day, without exception, it crosses my mind. especially in times where I’m reminded of it. it hurts so much and sometimes I’ll get so furious I’ll start to shake. it’s fucking hell.

and then I’ll think to the people on the other end of sniscourse, who probably don’t even think of it for a second of their days. who have no fucking clue what a horrible impact they’ve had on me and others. who don’t have an IDEA in their MINDS how I’ll lie awake at night wanting to tear my eyes out over things that I’ve been told I’m making up and abuse being completely excused.

do you know how fucking painful that is to realize how horribly you’ve been hurt by something that never even crosses the mind of the person who hurt you?

uhhhh tl;dr happy one year anniversary snis1 you got me fucked up 🎉

#rift murmurs #this is ok to rb if u want to ig #tw intrusive thoughts #tw self harm mention #long post

[fizzysquish]

I'd really like to hear about your opinion on the ahit fandom if youre ok with sharing? love your writing by the way!!

Oh wow I actually didn't expect anyone to wanna know yifhfkhck

And thank you!

Alright this is.. Gonna be long and most likely have some spelling errors every now and then but bear with me.

Tw- talk of pedophilia, swear words

Tldr at the very bottom

The ahit fandom..

...sucks

But also doesnt? Its kind of hard to explain. In general, if you just glance at the fandom it will either come across as pure or as a shit show. This fandom has some serious problems.

This fandom has a lot of drama happy people in it. Im not going to name names or anything, cause there's no point, but it does. A single scroll through the tags will tell you that much. And this isnt me saying 'people can't have opinions' or what have you. What im saying is that there are people in this fandom who live just to stir up drama and make others angry.

Or, in a lot of cases, instead of just saying a persons opinion, they'll swear up a storm and say they hate certain people or call certain types of fans 'the problem with the fandom' and like.. That just makes you sound like an asshole honestly. And it hurts people, too.

(And nobody can tell me it doesn't. Ive had to reassure too many venting and upset friends because of it. It hurts people.)

Also, because you know I have to mention this and it fits perfectly after this first paragraph- subcon. Snatcher.

I legitimately do not understand why some people hate snatcher so much. And I also cannot understand why some people will specifically target snatcher fans at times.

Snatcher is a big comfort character for a lot of people. Wether its for personal reasons (ex- mine is because of my own past dealing with abuse and trauma), or if its just because they make someone happy.

Snatcher is a comfort character, and the whole story surrounding subcon is so so interesting and fun to explore? And so what if people enjoy it? I can understand that it can get frustrating seeing so much of it, especially if you like something else, but that is no reason to target snatcher fans (or.. Any fans in general) and/or make people feel bad for having fun.

Fuck, thats how you make people leave the fandom entirely. I understand it can get frustrating, but just.. Try to be nicer? Try not to make people feel bad for having fun? Please?

And before anyone tells me "it's not about that!", i want to point out that I often see posts like "don't let the snatcher fans see this-" and other things along that.

If you want me to believe its not about that, prove it. Cause as far as i can tell, it certainly is.

(Also as a note- who cares is someones thirsty??? Like

Just block them and avoid if it bugs you so much?? It's not that hard dude)

-THIS PARAGRAPH MENTIONS PEDOPHILLIA, SKIP IF NEEDED-

Another serious thing to mention is the pedophilia in this fandom. Feel free to skip this part  if it makes you uncomfortable, but its something i need to talk about.

There are pedophiles in this fandom. Ive seen the art and the fics (no matter how many times i scrub my eyes, because its disgusting and horrible and just- eugh-). There are pedophiles here and its easy to come across them because they just.. Aren't afraid to post in main tags. People follow them. People support them. Granted, not everyone, and generally most people know to avoid em, but they're still there. They havent been kicked out or ostracized. And it disgusts me.

I know this whole paragraph could be argued that "that doesn't represent the fandom!" Or whatever but.. This is a younger audiences welcome game guys. Its advertised as 'the cutest 3d platformer!'. Kids can and do play this game.

There is pedophilia in this fandom, and i feel its important to mention.

-END OF PARAGRAPH-

Also, some people in this fandom just.. Suck. Plain and simple. Some people in this fandom are just genuine assholes. And said asshole just like harassing others and causing problems. There's a literal shit ton of drama and problems with this fandom, and honestly it's.. So dumb??

This is literally just a video game and people are just having fun. If there's a problem, treat it like a grown up and either ask the causes to stop and why, or block and move on. Simple.

Now lets move onto the good parts of this fandom, yeah?

First of all- there are some serious sweethearts and amazing people in this fandom. While there are some that suck, there are more that are actually just here for a good time and to make good content.

Ive met some of the nicest people ivs ever known thanks go this fandom. Ive created friends who I seriously consider family. And most people ive talked with or even just ran across have been pretty cool.

This fandom is also generally very welcoming to new people (minus the assholes), ive noticed. Some people get into it really easily just because eveyones generally friendly and supportive. Which is always great!

Also, the fanworks people in this fandom create. Can i just talk about how fucking talented people are??? Its pretty amazing to see how people create things for this fandom.

People will take the story that gears for breakfast showed and they'll run with it, and create these amazing au’s and stories and 'what ifs' from it. Its just.. So amazing to watch people use what we've been given just weaved it into something.

(And this isnt even going over the mods and the stories those create, which always amaze me.)

So with all that laid out, do i think the fandom good or bad?

...i think its both.

The fandom itself has some serious problems in it. It gets unnecessary drama nearly every other month or so for no reason. There are some truly disgusting people and some absolute assholes, but the majority of people are actually pleasant, fun to be around, and welcoming. As long as you be careful of who you follow and use critical thinking skills, its not so bad.

Im not going to lie to someone and say it's all honkey dory. In this fandom, you will inevitably interact with either a creep, an asshole, or both at some point. There is a likely chance that you will have your feelings hurt in some way in this fandom. Ive see it, ive heard about it, ive experienced it.

All that being said, if you curate your viewing, follow people that seem/are cool, and use the block feature (don't. Debate it, if youre unsure about someone just block em)... Its a very fun fandom filled with both heartfelt creations and memes, and has plenty of potential new friends.

So its both good and bad, yeah.

Tldr-

Fandom has lotsa issues but overall is fun, just make sure curate your experience for yourself and dont let what drama pops up or what assholes say get to you.
