[doodle-do-wop]

Dearest Dumbasses if the Inferior kind, I urge you to invest in a journal or one way island vacation, the children beg for your sanity and your horse, a break from holding you up so high for so long.

It is with a happy, and joyous heart to see your tower of babbling nonsense come to it's inevitable conclusion as your rancid behavior involving children and child characters is being looking at and acknowledged as the unacceptable filth it is

I am so so delighted that I. your outrage you shake your canes at as it helps us do a proper headcount of how many of you support unacceptable and moral less behavior such as; incest, pro shipping, etc. it is such a shame you wish to make excuses instead of working to be better but we the SBWACS (stop being weird around children society) urge you for the betterment of humanity to stop posting(after the full headcount, we don't want to miss a single one of you)

seeing as you all have decided to embark on the 🎶toxic gossip train 🎶 we the SBWACS hope you crash into a wall. As entertaining at the ukelele would have been, the poor instrument had been disgraced enough. Judging from your support of adult x child characters the only cord you would play would be A Minor and that gets old but what never does is the younger half of your favorite ships

As a headcount let's see the stars of the show including (TW-5) Most Obvious Digital Footprint,

(Quill) Most Likely To Forgive Toxcitiy

Way to forgive and forget the wrong things

(Camelspit) Most Likely To Spit At Others And Cry When Called Out

Special thanks to the tornado warning that really wrapped this all in a weird, strange bow: Commonghost; stop it, get some help

disclaimer that I'm not trying to white knight anybody, I'm not some kind of kotlc drama messiah, I'm just a regular person with morals who doesn't appreciate people trying to turn a fun fandom space into a cesspool of people dictating what people can or can't be uncomfortable about

Whether or not you agree with calling out, pushing people around while supporting those who insist upon having their voices be the only ones listened to and allowing a fandom space for a children's series to welcome in unwelcomed topics for their own pleasure and enjoyment is wrong

Now to move away from the drama llamas;

okay, this inbox is just for appreciating what you do. it's really nice that you spark so much interesting and constructive discourse, and your fanart is preeeeeeeetty!:)

but out of curiosity, how many times have you watched this show? you said you've been in the fandom for years, you engage with the material in a very meaningful way, and you seem to have an opinion on every single tiny detail that people ask you... like, do you have the show memorized at this point?

thank you so much!! i think i’ve watched the show in full only 3, maybe 4 times?? but i used to watch and rewatch random episodes a lot as a kid (mostly the katara and/or toph-centric ones lol) so that definitely adds up. idk if i have the whole show memorized per se, but it was obviously very formative for me and i’m used to practicing close reading on far denser, less obvious texts (including other shows), so i guess it can seem like my ability to recall seemingly minor details is impressive, but really it’s just a matter of exercising that muscle. reading analytically is a skill you develop over time just like any other, and it’s also particularly easy to read atla (at least for me, honestly i do worry about some of you) because it’s not particularly abstract but also because it’s so lucid, layered, and compelling. the characters really make the show what it is, and they’re all fascinating (with very few, negligible exceptions), which is why so many love it and have carried it with them for so many years, including, of course, myself :)

things i HATE in the deltarune fandom

making kris feminine, or even giving them boobs spamton looking like a fat woman when he's a stinky homeless malnourished guy in canon

skinny jevil people using lancer or ralsei for porn art or kink art spamton x kris jevil x lancer any proship, really king x rouxls people being shipped with people they genuinely hate (spamvil doesn't count, but swatchton and swatch x rouxls does.) young seam (seriously??) kris simps over 18 years old (YES THEY EXIST!)

big tiddie tasque manager people SCC shippers (THEY'RE BROTHERS!) berdly x kris (it's a "never ever gonna happen" ship) people shipping susie and noelle with anybody but each other people making jevil a cringe UwU catboy people HCing that jevil's kinky and sexual with EVERYONE (HE'S REALLY NOT, AND IT'S OBVIOUS) short characters being drawn super tall, or an inch tall instead of their actual height femboy rouxls. seriously, he's one of the most masculine characters i can think of, not including his hair and eyelashes and weak-ahh looking limbs. he is NOT the kinda guy to wear a bright pink croptop and miniskirt, he's the kinda guy to DRESS IN A FRIKIN PIRATE COSTUME funny characters being unfunny seam being handsome instead of having his face misshapen and ruined from the attack (same thing with spamton and the acid)

would you ever do a olivia x austin x reader fic??? like smut perhaps

anon, my dear sweet delightful anon. the question is not would i because trust me i would write the hell out of it. i literally love threesomes and poly fics and have for my entire fandom life ( seriously, y'all don't know it but that was my speciality back in some of my old fandoms ).

the question is who's gonna ask me to write it and give me a jumping off point of a prompt so i can focus my energy beyond i want to write olivia and austin boning each other while also boning you because we all secretly want to be in that pretty person sandwich.

so yeah, i'd write them as smut. as fluff as angst. i'm nothing if not flexible.

#am i mildly less sure on writing olivia speaking? #yes. but that's more because a lot of the elvis interviews have been austin vs her. but meh i can rectify that real easily. #ally answers asks #seriously this question actually delighted me while i was trying to work on the gun kink. and this meet cute prompt. #i promise anons if you throw something at me i'd be willing to do it at least once. #the...obvious no no's in the fandom not included in that.

okay so… does anyone else see a very clear potential future storyline of adam coming back as a demon and after trying and failing to get revenge against charlie and co. end up as a guest at the hotel in a last ditch attempt to get back into heaven only to become a genuinely better being and happier than he ever was as an angel further blurring the lines between heaven and hell in terms of the morality of the people in them eventually fully cementing himself as a fan favorite himbo by like season 3 or is that just me????

#adam hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel #listen i know this is very specific #but it feels so obvious to me #and when i looked up if anyone else was thinking this would happen #everyone was just like ‘oh yeah adam is a 100% dead #i felt like i was actually going insane #so i’m probably way off #but incase i’m not #i wanted to write it down #so in three years if all of this v specific shit happens #including how the fandom would eventually react #i can point to this and be like ‘SEE’ #and if it doesn’t i’ll just forget i wrote it #also alex brightman replacing alex brightman switching places is so funny to me #but that’s just a theory

thoughts on Ginny and Harry as a couple?

There are a lot of people who find their romance in HBP forced. I don't think it's forced so much as underwritten, and the books don't get the chemistry quite right (though the movies certainly don't, either). There's potential, but they just don't get enough actual scenes of substance (besides Harry thinking she's pretty or feeling jealous of Dean) for a lot of readers to buy that they're not only in love, but deeply enough in love to break up, get back together, and wind up married.

That's not to say I don't see the appeal. There's a very cool scene in Book 5 where Harry's doing a woe-is-me-Chosen-One act, and Ginny effortlessly puts him in his place about it by reminding him that she was possessed by Voldemort at eleven, which is a rare glimpse into her character and also a great synecdoche for their relationship — Ginny is a grounding presence who, like Ron and Hermione, isn't going to be awed by his past adventures because she knew him before they happened. In that respect, Ginny's probably one of the few women Harry could feasibly wind up with, because he only ever seems comfortable around people (let alone girls) who can see past the Chosen-One schtick and treat him like a normo (see: Ron, Hermione, the Weasleys, Luna, Hagrid). True to type, he doesn't get interested in Ginny at all until she's ditched her celebrity crush and ceased to view him as an idol, because in his heart of hearts, Harry wants to be a normal boy, and it's stressed over and over that part of what he likes about his relationship with Ginny is how normal it feels. He kind of has a horribly supercharged version the celebrity dating problem: after the Battle of Hogwarts, anyone he meets is going to know him first as Harry Potter, Chosen One, Boy Who Lived, and Actually Fucking Resurrected Messiah of the Wizarding World, which is... I mean, it's possible that there are witches out there who could get over that, but Harry's not an extroverted guy, and I'm not sure how he'd go about finding them. Ginny's the one who's been there since the beginning, doesn't need anything about him or his past explained to her, and actually likes him for who he is.

When you look at it that way, it's not surprising he married his high school girlfriend. She's one of the few people still alive who doesn't see him as a demigod.

#in general I was never one to ship harry with anybody #what I wanted for him was a long quiet life and plenty of therapy #maybe some dogs. i think harry needs dogs and deserves them #The other obvious solution ftr — though not one I think Harry would take — is for him to marry a muggle #though again. you'd run into the problem of how you explain All That #which harry doesn't like to talk about and probably would want to talk about even less as an adult #plus also: harry loves magic. like he loves it loves it #the muggle world for harry is permanently connected with the dursleys and it would take years to break that association #which I just don't think he's going to invest #Harry post-BOH is moving to Hogsmeade or wizarding London or some other magical neighborhood and staying there forever #by the way this post is not anti Harry and Ginny! no hate on the ship I've seen versions of it that are very cute #but I just think their love story needed Sauce #there are also some really interesting posts I've found in Deep Fandom crackship blogs about h/g as Harry's sublimated desire for Ron #now I don't necessarily buy that reading. I don't think Harry is in love with Ron in the original text #I do think he LOVES ron and projects that love onto the Weasleys very quickly ginny included #and I think Ron is his soulmate platonic or otherwise in every universe #so marrying Ginny has like. Implications. vis-a-vis Harry's status as a Weasley and adoptive brother[in law] of Ron #like it's a full-circle moment where he becomes officially legally a member of Ron's family #which I do believe JKR had in mind. even though that basically means ginny's wedding becomes kinda... actually... about her brother... #it's weird basically. my final verdict is I wish H/G had been written by an author who was more interested in Ginny for Ginny's sake. #greenteacup asks

Oh look, here's why season 2 sucks:

#good omens 2 #good omens critical #I mean as if it wasn't blatantly obvious that there is absolutely nothing even remotely Pratchett-y in that season #that's exactly what is missing #it's just Gaiman writing a bunch of fanservice #for whatever reason #'instant gratification' maybe #see what I did there? #authors should stay clear of fanservice honestly #maybe even fandom as a whole #it's obviously bad for the creative process #why even shoehorn that 'bridge' in? #could have just made one sequel with Pratchett's ideas included #and publish your fanfic as an unused script #ah I'm still not over it #this will take a while

cannot fucking imagine applying a “the customer is always right” capitalist hellscape mindset to “the audience is always right” when audiences are as varied as anything else. just say you’re a boot licker to your own sense of edgy superiority amplified by your lack of media literacy and the fact your ‘hot takes’ don’t get traction and go. 

#as always: there are valid critiques to be had of S4 #that does not include misremembering canon or engaging in things in bad faith #sincerely: someone who was in the 2013-2016 atla fandom hell scape of people regularly misremembering #that aang let go of katara and it was the crucial conflict of the S2 finale that led to him getting shot with lightning #ppl: aang didn't let go of her #me: screencaps and the Literal scene from the show would say otherwise #fandom nonsense #also as someone who's disliked things for their story flaws (twilight is dumb bc of its portrayal of relationships/indigenous ppl) #(not bc teenage girls like/d it) #hnng #blog-hordika-us #the fandom troll continues to be Obvious

which is gayer? SIX or Adamandi (real)

adamandi

#like. gotta break it to you. one of these musicals is canonically lgbtq and it's not the one where women sing about their dead husband yknow #like. idk what to say! but <shrugs> #ask me stuff??? #must say the fandoms are really quite different. i'm quite fascinated by the dynamics tbh #also i realise a lot of the queendom(? forgot that was the name for a hot sec) go mad about women in shiny pretty costumes slaying #but also hmmmm adamandi is very much gender for me.( for all the characters. but specifically vincent and beatrix) #and the thing about queerness is it literally gets woven into the narrative. and it's Obvious. #smth about canonical lgbt+ rly is just. it hits. the representation is real? as opposed to fandom interpretations only #(and like... i love fandom interpretations and when people can see a new side to the character that they feel seen in!!!) #(but having it be in the original content is just... yeah... you do feel kinda especially seen) #watching adamandi was a bit like first watching firebringer for me? like except for sexuality it was gender o.O #firebringer was the first musical i saw with a canon wlw couple. and like i'd known that girls could like girls for a while but #there was the small italicised oh moment where i was like ''this is actually real'' <it's maybe worth noting i wasn't very active on soc me #about consuming things other than content. so i wasn't very exposed to the community at large. so representation in media mattered!!> #similarly it's been a while since then and both online and irl i've found people who are more open about it and accepting. i've been very #very lucky in that sense. to have specific irl friendgroups where we're all out to each other <based on sentiment? i think most of us #including me. aren't openly out irl> ... and online i'm really glad to have friends who Get It and are similar to me. but the representatio #... !!! omg hsnfjkfgdsdsghf yknow?? the representation in adamandi really got me. the pronouns thing especially. #and because the core source material is Like That.. existing fandom is all accepting already. so bonus points i guess #sorry i have turned this silly little question into a reflection prompt.. but. thoughts. #[wow. on further retrospection i've never outed myself at all online either people just saw the ship art and Inferred and] #[to be fair they were Not Wrong. idk. tumblr avvy is very vastly different from irl me but neither of us feel comfortable stating it so-] #[also worthy mention of the musicals fandom that exposed me to the whole concept of lgbtq+ being a Thing at the ripe young age of 14] #[what a way to discover it. really. i say this with extreme fondness. conversely i have friends who decided through genshin or anime so idk #<i'm aware of the diverse casting thing for six!! i think it's very cool!! i also realise the show plot doesn't really have much to do w it

the way this fandom treats characters is astounding. like y’all do realize that every single character is shitty, right? literally every last one. your blorbo is not an exception. no, “but my fave—” no exceptions. literally the only character that i can’t think of any issues with off the top of my head is farah.

#call of duty #cod #obviously some characters are worse than others #i think we can all hold hands and agree that makarov takes the ‘most evil character’ cake #and lots of people acknowledge graves’ actions #and i’ve even seen people bring up valeria’s actions #but the way y’all (general) just. pick and choose who to criticize #it’s important to acknowledge and discuss the flaws these characters have #and i think it’s important to allow people to explore problematic characters #but if you’re gonna do that— acknowledge EVERYONE’S flaws #price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped a civilian woman and child. used them as ‘bargaining chips’. held a gun to a little boy’s head #soap & ghost may not have any highlights (that i can recall) but they’re SAS. #the military– especially the specops– are not known for being above board and clean #price’s catchphrase is literally ‘we get dirty world stays clean’ #this cast is full of fuckin war criminals. they’re ALL shitty. #obviously some are worse than others (motioning to makarov valeria & graves) #but acting like the ‘good’ characters are unproblematic is harmful imo. there are real people that have been victimized by the military #–including the SAS. your blorbos are in an organization that devastates entire countries with war #i guess i’m sick of seeing people’s obvious favoritism in this fandom. #y’all (general) love to discuss shitty behavior and read-world equivalents until it involves your faves #and i’m not saying this to tell people to stop writing for everyone. i personally dislike the ‘don’t write for problematic charas’ mindset #but hold every single character to that standard for the love of god #and ‼️be mindful while writing/discussing potentially harmful stuff‼️ #be sensitive to the groups that might be seeing this. remember that COD is a war game that romanticizes the military and war #with the sole intent of getting people to join #no one is perfect. they’re ALL shitty people. some are worse than others– but they ALL represent real-world issues #the ‘only enjoy unflawed characters’ mindset links back to purity culture and media literacy dying #seeing people expect an imperfect media to have a perfect fandom is draining #the community needs to be a safe space for everyone. but groups will inevitably clash and that’s why we have the block button and filtering #just like. don’t disrespect people. be mindful with your work. but also— BE LIBERAL with catering your fandom space!

[tam--lin]

I'm not gonna reblog it but the Sarah Gailey post that's like "interesting Hugo stats!" then gives you Palestinian death statistics bothers me deeply because the Hugos ~~drama~~ is literally about self-censorship of an organization attempting (badly) to avoid censure by a different government that's actively committing genocide against a different people.

I don't actually want all eyes on Palestine, I want many eyes on Palestine and many other eyes on other genocides happening, and mayhaps the coverage around the Hugos drama could be used to highlight a genocide that's been going on for years with little coverage.

#unrebloggable for obvious reasons #the situation in Palestine is critical. but it alarms me that people are treating the Hugos as ~~ silly fandom drama~~ instead of #a situation that happened in response to a dystopian government with huge human rights violations #including committing ongoing genocide against the Uyghur people

i did it again i said im a hater about sonic shipping and then immediately posted sonknux . well it was only in that art summary thing but still. just know that when i say i hate sonic shipping im never talking about sonknux ok. sorry

#or whispangle. or sallicole. #theres probably a few other exceptions but those are the main ones #Well it should be obvious that sonknux isnt included in that. considering. my url. and how often i post about it. #when i say i hate sonic shipping i dont mean i hate that sonic shipping exists or that i hate every ship ever #i just mean that im like really picky about ships theres not many that i really really like . #and i dont like how shipping obsessed the sonic fandom is. okay .

back when the TTYD remake was first announced i would read speculation about whether or not they'd let vivian be trans and i'd see people say things like. "well i hope they don't because transphobes would complain about it and the fandom would get really messy so it's a lose-lose situation". which is just insaaaane to me 😭 i can't fathom caring so much about what annoying transphobes online think that you would hope we don't get the canon trans rep we were already supposed to have 20 years ago.

#i'll admit i have had this mentality sometimes about other pettier fandom stuff #like dreading the insane amounts of drama that would happen if ****** became canon #but queer characters being represented properly is more important to me ALWAYS #also like. transphobes ALREADY came up with the most dumb af arguments for why she's not trans soooo #finally including it and making it as obvious as possible is just 100% a Win

listen im fine with people reading fics ao3 but if you're supporting it by donating then fuck off. the fact that the site gets over 100k thousands while allowing racist slavery sexy au fics (and its still in beta fucking apparently but not the point. and it allows "romantic" pedo shit but anyway). you should've been able to block users fucking ages ago. ao3 is important when it comes to fandom history but i'm so tired of people treating as if it's some godly website when it's definitely not the truth.

it's so fucking easy to say "it's just fiction" just because you might not be affected by the fetishization of racism or any other dark topics. but guess fucking what, black people are very much affected by your fetishization of black people (and our culture and/or history). fetishization is still racism. and its contributing to the way people objectify black people and stereotypes.

i am (not) politely asking you to fuck off if you lick the boots of ao3 and decide to donate to the site. how do people not realize that those "sexy" slavery au fics contribute to poc's harm and racism? yes it's so common to see better fics and there's a decent variety of content on ao3. but there's no fucking reason that should be blinding you from ao3's problematic aspects. there's no reason you should blinded by the fact that fanfiction can still contribute to real life discrimination (or harmful beliefs towards dark topics but not the main point of this post)

also trust me. ''sexy'' slavery fics or raceplay shit isnt the only racist shit on ao3. i could go on but ill stop- but its kinda a nuanced conversation.

#ao3 critical #tw racism #sunny is srs #sunny's thoughts #sunny's rant #isn't it sad that the last time i looked up (black and non-black) interracial tag for original stories ao3 #most of it was completely filled with smut content that fetishized black people. not just including the slavery au fics btw #if i say something positive about ao3 in the future- dont forget that im still pretty critical towards that website #i get it- racist and harmful content wont be so easily censored on ao3 bc it was made where fandom culture was like #''do whatever you want! its JUST fiction'' but this is just so disappointing. and pretty sick #isnt pretty obvious that fiction still contribute to poc's harm? and other harmful beliefs? god #otw
