my issue with littlest pet shop: a world of our own

hi! as you can see i have a bone to pick with this show, but i'm going to be criticizing the overall premise rather than individual episodes (i can't bring myself to watch any). nothing exactly provoked me to post this, it's just something i felt like ranting about because i always found it pretty strange and sort of like a slap in the face towards those who liked the 2012 series. very long post incoming 😭

first of all, the entire concept of AWOOO (im going to refer to it as that because the title is way too annoying to type out each time) in context of lps' brand as a whole doesn't make sense. hasbro refers to it (in a backhanded way to jab at 2012) as "a pet-only world made by pets, for pets." this premise alone is contradictory to the entire lps brand. it's called littlest pet shop, not littlest animal universe. the 2012 show made this work by having an actual pet shop with a daycamp area like you would expect irl. yes, the show had humans which i agree sometimes took over a bit too much, but it's meant to be a city-based slice of life cartoon. the main cast are actual pets, they have owners, they have their own homes, like any pet irl would. that's... why they're called pets. whatever AWOOO was trying to achieve just completely defeats the purpose of a pet shop existing. i have no doubt in my mind that hasbro felt so inclined to sweep 2012 under the rug by rushing this half-assed reboot out as fast as they could to satiate all the "bring back the old lps" commenters. there was literally nowhere online you could view content of the 2012 series in ANY site, without the comments being FLOODED with "bring back the old lps." it got to a point where fans were borderline harassing the hasbro employees, recording themselves calling them on the phone for views and clout, and encouraging others to do the same. and guess what? it worked. instead of continuing working on the show while easily selling toys that fans were more in favor of, hasbro thought it would be a better idea to just completely abandon 2012 as a whole and then proceed to act like it never even existed. there was no good reason for them to not continue producing the show (iirc it had pretty good ratings and was one of the most popular hub shows next to mlp ofc) while also selling toys that would cater to both newer and older fans (granted they probably can't sell multiple generations at a time, but still). so ultimately, they hurried this little reboot to get it out there as fast as they could and passively shit on 2012 while talking about its premise. seriously? "no humans getting in the way anymore! we have a WHOLE NEW lps cast with no big headed humans named blythe or her ugly friends! no more communication barriers, because thats no fun! isnt this show just SO much better than 2012?" they were so ready to just throw the 2012 series and everything related to it in the trash. AWOOO was not made out of love and respect. it was made as a way for hasbro to try and get their fans back by proving just how much better this reboot was in such non-discrete manners. they thought of the quickest and easiest way to regain their audience and ran with it, without ever thinking about how it completely diminishes what all the previous generations stood for.

i was one of the very few people who loved the 2012 lps series since it premiered. being a child on the internet in the early 2010s definitely brought down my happiness when watching the show because of the overwhelming negative feedback it was getting along with the rebrand in general (something im VERY nostalgic for). regardless, i continued to tune in whenever it was on tv and i saw myself growing up with the characters. to say that this show had potential is an understatement. the producers intended to make more seasons and you just knew they wanted to keep it going (this was confirmed btw). they weren't in a hurry to get something better out there, until the "bring back the old lps"ers finally got their way. but honestly? it's not completely unheard of for large companies to eventually cave in to the public opinion if it means they'll make more profit. they were desperate, and it was definitely showing.

one of the things i have the most issues with is how hasbro proceeds to COMPLETELY ignore everything regarding the show nowadays. as some of you know the show's 10th anniversary was last november, which i and many people had participated in a large art collab to celebrate and honor the show's legacy. want to know what hasbro did to celebrate? nothing. absolutely nothing. what's even worse is that michael kopsa, the voice of roger, had passed away very shortly before the shows 10th anniversary. and guess what? complete silence. that's just incredibly disrespectful to be completely honest. someone who brought his best work to your show and others on the same network (if im remembering correctly at least) and was such a joy to be around, and this is how you thank him? not a single piece of acknowledgement, all because you're too scared to ever talk about 2012 again because of the scary older fans that persuaded you to pull the plug on the whole thing? you weren't even willing to make one little post offering your condolences? oh because you just can't ever mention that show ever again, it'll spark those negative comments just like before. and you've made it abundantly clear that you care more about profiting off these people than having some kind of self awareness.

i apologize that this got so heavy, i've always wanted to properly write down my honest thoughts about this whole thing because ive been unhappy with it for years and years now. if you like AWOOO, i don't care. i wont give you a hard time for liking it, because the show itself isnt inherently bad. just what went on behind it is what bothers me so much. the fact that hasbro can completely ignore their own creation for what... 7 years now? is beyond my comprehension. they can keep pretending it never existed, but small groups of people online have been rediscovering this show and remembering how much they loved it when they were younger. you had a good thing going here hasbro, it sucks that you had to completely abandon it. but i think i can speak for a few people that this show has always and will always hold a special place in my heart and my childhood memories. even if we can't get more from it, we shouldn't forget to appreciate and cherish what we did get. and nobody can take that away.

#long post #veryyy long post #holy shit?#i did NOT mean for this to get so sentimental lol??#lps 2012 is my special interest and you can see i am very passionate about it (it's the autism)#anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk #any lps 2012 likers out there reading this pls interact #we need to keep this community alive and thriving 🔥🔥🔥#lps 2012 #littlest pet shop #littlest pet shop 2012 #littlest pet shop: a world of our own #lps: awooo

You don’t mind giving your opinions on this iteration (03) of the bros

My opinion on the 03 turtle bros? I don't mind at all!

Overall, 03 is definitely my 2nd favorite iteration, if not my 1st (it changes depending on my mood but its usually a close tie between 03 and Rise). The way they interact with each other reminds me so much of me and my siblings, in 03 specifically, they make jabs at each other but it never feels malicious.

I think it's a little unfair how much Donnie gets absolutely nerfed, always getting the shortest end of the stick, but I also think that it brings out something in their characters that really shows how much the care for each other, none of them really have this "the mission is more important than my family" attitude, and I love that they would drop anything just to save each other, no matter the cost.

They're so much of a team that they literally fall apart if one of them is gone (hence SAINW, that episode where Karai ambushed the lair while Leo was gone and decimated them, and the Good Genes arc, and possibly more, my brain just don't work rn) and as much of a fault as that may be, I also find it endearing. Sure they might not be able to win every battle even as a team, but they sure know how to put the word team in teamwork.

They have endless support for one another, and have each other's backs even if they aren't completely confident that they can protect one other, they sure as hell are going to try their best. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but yeah.

As individuals, well, I love them all, Donnie the most for sure, but these guys are all so lovable.

Mikey is so comfortable with himself and isn't afraid of being embarrassing, which is something that just comes with being a Mikey I think, and we love him for that, and he's always surprising everyone with his skills and how he uses his own special knowledge to solve situations that no one else can think of an answer for. (I named my dog after him, he's such a goofy little guy)

Donnie is smart, and also a total nerd, but no one makes fun of him for it (well, except Casey in that one episode, when they went up against the nanobots again, but even then that doesnt really count). He doesnt always have the answers and he's not afraid to admit that, and is always willing and eager to learn more. He's also chaotic and off his rocker, and he deserves to be a little insane sometimes as a treat, he's always busy being the sensible one, sometimes he's gotta get a little crazy too. His sass is off the charts, too, and his humor is just unmatched.

Raph isnt just some hothead and I'm here for it, I absolutely love it when he gets episodes that are just him being the most gentle and caring soul, and learning from his mistakes. He's like the opposite of Donnie in that sense, he's always doin the crazy stuff, he deserves to be calm and caring as a treat. I think that's why the two of them get along so well in this series (their dynamic is so focused on here and I love it)

And Leo- he's certainly a character, that's for sure, a very human, and relatable character, one that I think a lot of eldest siblings can relate to. I think just as Raph acts as the opposite to Donnie, Leo acts the opposite to Mikey, he's a motherly brother who gets a little silly sometimes, and is very trusting. He's quiet, palatable, and respectful, and I can really appreciate that about him, he's certainly not my absolute favorite turtle, and I feel bad for not having much to say about him, but he is one of my favorite Leo's, and is a very interesting character, nonetheless (I just clearly have a favorite 03 turtle)

I hope this is what you were expecting, I think I rambled a bit, but there's my opinion (I'm very biased- and the 03 theme song is just *chefs kiss*)

#i feel so important and special when i get asks #tmnt 2003 #2003 donnie #2003 mikey #2003 raph #2003 leo #i thought about this all day once i saw this ask while i was at work

I really appreciate that you support shipping the guys together. It irritates me when people say "this isn't a yaoi, and they only love yui" like I'm just a gay guy trying to enjoy some ships because I like the characters. I don't crap on the straight ships but people seem to love arguing against the gay ships because it's not canon

it's a strange problem that the dialovers fandom has. shipping is a super normal thing! it exists in pretty much every fandom! there's no rule that says you only have to ship canon things, that'd be ridiculous. "shipping" culture STARTED with non-canon relationships, and I think more often than not it's about non-canon relationships. it's all for fun. I get not being interested in ships, but I really, truthfully don't understand why some people have such a big problem with it.

and something that especially bothers me about it, as a bisexual myself, is that when trying to insist that this stuff isnt canon, ppl will say to me "they like yui so they cant POSSIBLY like men." that's so narrow-minded to me. not only is it totally ignorant about bi/pansexuals, but it also feels like it's a jab at any men in the fandom, which is super mean and unfair. this is a game and a fandom that we all have the right to enjoy!! so I really hate it when people say that.

I dont know how long you've been in the fandom, anon, but it used to feel like we were outnumbered by ppl who were just jerks about shipping or headcanons or worse, they were just outright homophobic to people. the good news is that it really doesn't feel that way now. the hateful talk seems like it's dwindling away and I see more people posting & engaging with non-canon ship stuff. so I'm thankful to you also!! it takes all of us to make fandom a fun place ^^

i suffer from this annoying problem you see-

i want to do more, i really think i do- but i just feel so confined by my current living situation where i am consantnly around my family- you see in 2020 my father mother and eldest sister had to move in with my older sister and i because of covid costing my parents their jobs- i wasn't exactly doing stellar before this but i was feeling like i was starting to get a handle on my life and starting to figure important things out- but since the move i feel like ive had to put that all on halt......

i stopped going to online therapy because i have no privacy to do so and feel safe because if i wanted to get any real progress id have to talk about my family and my childhood whici i do NOT want any of them hearing about and i cant go physically because i cant drive and i dont want to waste more gas and the time of the others- i stopped drawing because i have no privacy to safely express myself without their eyes unless if i lock myself in my room which they will judge me for and now my dominant hand is permanantly injured making it painful to draw unless im careful about it- i am confined downstairs in the living room most of the time because i need to watch my dog (this is on me though I can accept that) so i feel like i have no space for myself and when i take leisure time feel nothing but guilt everytime my family comes by- they love teasing me over the dog too saying i dont do enough i dont know how much theyre joking i already feel like shit all the time so i dont really appreciate the jabs- being on here is the one consistant thing i can muster up enough energy to do- but even so not without constant guilt- most days off dont feel like much of anything.

its hard even to engage in my interests anymore- dont have the time, dont have the energy, dont have the privacy, dont have the intelligence, dont have the confidence, idk... just been tough lately i guess.

not even my room offers much respite- my parents room is right across and they love to keep their door open- i feel them watching everytime i go in

i feel stuck

i feel like im wasting my life

i feel like i will never get out of here

i do not know what to do

i dont think theres even anything waiting for me even if i can

tw suicide talk

i cant go back to school because i have no idea what i want to do with my life- theres so much pressure for me to be succesful and each day i feel like more and more of a failure- and i know if i try and fail again i might end up trying to kill myself like i did last time

but to be honest i know i cant even kill myself because i know the cost of a funeral wont be worht it and because im too much of a coward to do so

but staying alive isnt much better when you feel like a constant financial drain and worthless layabout all the time

and everytime i think i find some sort of plan or some way out its like a carrot on a stick thats tugged away from me like a joke

it's so funny- i was openyl gushing about how hopeful i felt and now realitys crashing back down once again! there's no getting out of here.

to make it all worse this year has been terrible for me healthwise- im falling apart in so many ways and i feel even worse about being a waste of money-

i dont feel like i can talk to any of them about how awful i feel- most of the time any attempt to do so ends poorly and even when it doesnt nothing changes- i dont know where to make heads or tails of it all- i know im to blame for a lot of my own issues i know i overreact and take things too personally- i feel like i paint an unfair picture of them sometimes but eveyr day feels harder to keep on going- i already struggled with doing basic shit to take care of myself but recently it feels impossible

they did always say i just dont care enough- either its always been true or at some point became it.

i dont want to go to my stupid fucking job that bores the shit out of me- but i have to- i have to be of use somehow- i didnt sleep last night- i dont want to go to work because when im at work i just think about all the things i could be doing- actually useful or fufilling things i know i wont do on my day off despite how badly i wish i was while at my job

but i have to- it's almost time- so i guess i will.

whats the point of writing all of this- a cry for help maybe? pity seeking maybe even if i try to deny it over and over- i guess im just nearing my breaking point- something about these ast few months have been really grueling lately- again probably to do with all the suddent medical issues and the fact that my 20's are halfway done and i have nothing of worth to show for it- i dont know what to do i dont think im ever escaping this place and maybe thats for the best

I’m not a good person- I have all the same horrible traits they do. I just hide it on here to appear more likable.

im 25- its too late- ive wasted my entire life- it was always going to end this way everyone whose ever knwon me could see it thats why they all gave up on me- i did too. theres no point in prentending i can be fixed and wasting any more money. i feel like a ghost in this house watching life pass by. i feel like a stupid child trapped in an adults body.

i dont know what to do anymore-everything feels like sawdust.

But I’ll be fine… I’m numbing it all out. I don’t feel enough to want to hurt myself this time. like i said i have to go to work soon

im going to go downstairs and my mother will see my horribly messy hair and she'll make some annoyed comment about me needing to brush and ask me to run my fingers throught the tangles and we'll go to work. and i'll tell stupid jokes to try to make her smile because its the least i can do.

despite it all i love them still- but some days i wish i could love them from a safe distance.

im tempted to delete this like i do with all my breakdowns that i post on blogs that arent my vent blog but i think i'll keep this one up- because deep down i think i do want some advice or help or something- i cant keep living like this. i dont know what to do to stop. i just wish i had more to offer in return.

or maybe i just need to yell- whatever- doesnt matter- i'll go back to my usual postings on both of my active blogs regardless of whatever happens after this post-im sure i'll regret it later and try to just ingore this and hope you all too but it's like 4 am so whose even gonna see this lol

theres this litttle diologue moment in a game i like that just briefly comments on a form of ableism i dont think people talk about enough and if i dont fucking mention it to someone i will implode so you're dealing with it now :3 so in Kindergarten 2 theres this thing where one of the characters (Nugget, who's implied to be neurodivergent in some way) is able to use the physical disability ramp since 'he's disabled' (note: not physically) and that just theres so much to that and note: this is a game that fucking digs into the school system in subtle yet noticable ways so this isnt ableist writing its fucking pointing out school ableism by lack of personal accomodations and how schools just slap every disabled kid into the same general accomodations that probably dont work for any of them and sure the knowledge that Nugget can go to the disability ramp area is rlly only used for missions theres still that jab and a specific bit of it i wanna mention: so the player can ask nugget if he's handicapped and he says 'well they think so' (or smth along those lines) which 1st off another jab at how schools mistreat any kids who are different whether it be due to disability or not but also i feel like its meant to say 'they think i need these accomodations even though i dont' like do you understand i cant explain it well but just just its smth on the mind im not normal about this the game series i used to be obsessed with and am being obsessed with again jabbed at that and im way too impressed over that basic fucking decency in a game that is built on kinda jabbing at the school system im sorry i think its the trauma of schools mistreating me due to disabilities getting me so not normal about this cuz it just hits a spot in a way i guess sorry for the askbox rant i needed to get this out there somewhere and nobody else would understand

[id: an anonymous ask reading: “hi same anon who sent that little thing about a snippet of diologue from a game you've probably never heard of that you probably already deleted here to say im like 70% sure i forgot to specify the neurodivergency coding, while in both games, was specifically about Kindergarten (the first game in the series) cuz in the 2nd game he does end up physically disabled in some routes (arm getting ripped off via partially nonsensical reasons but my whole fixation on the diologue's meaning still mostly stands- tho it could also just be a line foreshadowing what happens to his arm but yk”. /end id]

yeah schools are not great at all at treating disabled students well. they love to say they’re accessible when in reality they have one type of accommodation they slap on every disabled student no matter what disability they have lol

my school absolutely sucked at accommodating my disabilities, though i wasn’t considered physically disabled back then, that was about non physical disabilities. so i have no direct experience of that specific type of ableism myself, only from what i’ve heard from others.

and feel free to rant whenever, i love to listen 😌

Chapter 4 - Christmas Feelings. Episode 2.

Andy: Evan… I think it isnt much of a secret any longer that I have a major crush on you… I just thought it was about time I open my mouth about it he chuckled hoarse and sniffled his nose look, I know what this is, and I know it's probably never gonna lead anywhere, I get that you are straight… but I also do get that you feel something when we kiss. I'ts written all over your face. Something changed the past days, something had changed already the night where I kissed you in the hallway. There is something there now, we can't deny it…. well technically you can try all you want, but it doesnt change the fact that something is there. I dont know what it is? Love? Lust? Who knows? But I would like us to try to take a peek down that road, to try to see where it might lead. If you dare? I have feelings for you, and at least for me, I assure you this isn't just me wanting to jab my fucking dick into something again, if that's all I wanted I could swing by the local pub… or ride Daniel for a few hours… not to mention I have Congo. It's more than that… you arent just a hole, and I promise you, I will never suggest sex, unless you suggest it. Which I'm well aware probably wont ever happen, and Im okay with that. Evan: I opened my mouth to say something, but he hushed med and went on Andy: I love you as a friend, but lately it seems this love has grown bigger than that… and I think it's safe to say I am falling for you. I know you probably wont be comfortable with that, and I also know you probably wont be comfortable with any of this, lord knows I still at times feel uncomfortable in my "new" sexuality… so it is absolutely fine for me if we keep whatever happens between us a secret. I understand if you dont want anyone else involved in it, and I will respect you 100% in everything we do together. First and foremost you are my best friend, and I wouldnt wanna ruin that in any way. But I would like you to concider walking down this path with me, or at least take a peek at it…. maybe theres something good there? He smiled softly in a way so his eyes sparkled, and I suddenly felt very warm inside. I always knew he was very handsome, but right this moment I notice he was more than handsome… he was beautiful Evan: I opened my mouth buth no words came out, I was afraid, could I give him what he wanted without losing myself in it? Andy: He sighed softly, frowned and for a second I swear I saw tears in his eyes its okay, I understand… I wont kiss you again, it all ends here… I respect you. He looked up at me, forcing a half smile, but this time it was easy seeing the tears press to get out of his eyes. I felt a lump in my throat. I had come here to make him happy, to help him get through this difficult time, but I had only made it worse, more difficult. He looked at me with sad eyes, then turned around, stuck his hands in his pockets and started walking in the direction of the ranch. Evan: I stood frozen, observing him walking away, what was I going to do? He was sad because of me… all because I was scared.

Rambles

Does anybody else have thoughts that constanty keep shifting and changing in their heads or it it just me? Like even as I type this out it's alomst like my head is filled with bees and yet there is nothing going on. How can my thought be buzzing and yet at the same time be empty? Even I don't know at this point. I sort of feel lost in my own life. The violent urges of self-harm have gotten worse and I am finding it difficult to tell non fiction and fiction alike apart. What is real, what isnt? What expriences are real and which are fake. Sometimes my memories don't even feel like my own. That with the memories that have managed to stay. People's names have become a blur of words to me. Alomst like my memories are slowly going away and the first thing is aparntly people's names, next will be the faces and who knows what will be next. I am going to take a honest shot and say ... Say something beacuse I don't know. To be hoenst it is kind of scary. The feeling of me loosing my mind. The feeling of me loosing who I am. What makes me well me. It's dying. My interests are slowly fading like a torch out of battery. Things have in teh past made me excited have now filled me with a over all feeling of numbness. Like an empty hole. A sick sort of dissatisfaction with life. Wether it be the good or bad. I have tried to kill myself what I'd would say is a few times. I can't even look at my right wrist without remembering the tube that was in it. It haunts me. I wish I died that night. I wish I wasn't such a coward and took more pills to end it all. Why did I wake up to a cruel world that doesn't care? How can I even tell the people I love that I'm OK but I'm not. How can I even cope with all the feelings of self doubt? What make my struggles worth people's time? Are they even struggles? Am I selfish for feeling the need for help and yet not doing anything to help myself? Is it normal to want to feel the worst pain because you feel you deserve it? Like a sickness taking over the body. It cannot be seen with the naked eye but just as easily felt. The biggest secret that I have is that I think... no know that my Mother wasted her life bringing me up. I see how she and my Father bring each other down. Snide remaeks here and a few well palced jabs there. It's toxic being in the middle of two people that don't love each other but refuse to break up. Almost like it some kind of bet to see who can stand each other for the longest. My mother wasted her 20s on me. The disapointment of a Daughter I am. Shame racks my bidy everytime I hear that if it wasn't foe me being born my Mum said that she would of not stayed with my Dad. I wish I go back in time and kill the baby version of mer. Spare my parents to burden of rasing me and my brothers. My parents feels like a joke that everybody else is in on and I have no clue on when the punch line is going to drop. When is the crowd going to stand to cheer and laugh. Am I the punchline? Am I a the joke? I hope when the rest of life is up and the joke is told, I hope that I made at least one person laugh becuase that what matters right? I feel sad. Goodnight.

We NEED to talk about why this recent episode cemented Stolitz for so many people

While this episode did not have many moments where Blitzø and Stolas were being explicitly romantic towards eachother, the singular reason this episode supports the possibility of Blitzø and Stolas becoming a thing is because...

Blitzø's attitude toward Stolas in this episode is... different...

So many people (myself included) were a tad bit put off from shipping stolitz because there wasn’t really any proof that the relationship was anything more than a mere transaction. The owl wanted to satify his perverted and fetishistic needs, and the imp hesitantly agreed, only because he would receive the book in return. while the former is currently still true, this episode shows that the latter may not be the case.

The bedroom scene

This scene displays the relationship between blitzø and stolas as the tamest its ever been. blitzø doesnt really direct much disgust towards Stolas himself and even says that this monthly meetup isnt something he 'fusses' about. this attitude Blitzø holds when he and stolas are alone contrasts what we've seen in previous episodes where the idea of spending time with stolas seemed to greatly irritate him.

They also seem strangely close in this scene, Blitzø being comfortable with Stolas's advances and them even sharing a cigarette.

Additionally, one of the pieces of evidence that i often see overlooked is that Blitzø did not have to agree to go to the harvest festival with Stolas in the first place. He knew what he'd be getting himself into, with his knowledge of the obvious and embarrasing flirting he dealt with at Loo Loo Land. despite this, not only does he agree to go, he says it sounds like it'll be "a blast and a half". And this time, there isnt even a promise of him being paid!! hes going purely because he wants to

Furthermore, his expression is very different from that which was shown in the original storyboards, showing that there was a reason the crew changed his attitude from "whatever i guess it could be fun 😒" to "sure it sounds like it could be alot of fun 😏"

2. The famed Millie/Striker scenes

These scenes on their own can be interpreted many ways, however, with the context of the opening scene, its quite obvious why Blitzø reacted the way he did in reaction to millie and striker here

Firstly his reaction to Millie calling stolas his boyfriend isn't what it'd be if there was nothing going on between Blitzø and Stolas. If Blitzø were confident in the fact that he had no feelings for Stolas, knowing him, he likely would've made a quip that prevented him from seeming at all insecure or embarrased. he likes to take control of conversations and not leave any room for his weaknesses to be revealed.

This is not what happens. he responds by simply saying he is not above hitting Millie in front of her father. he doesnt deny it. He doesnt make a fun jab at millie herself. he simply allows his embarrassment to be the butt of the joke. THAT DOESNT HAPPEN...like... ever.

Now for the striker scene. I'll l keep it short since many have talked about this before, but the very fact that Blitzø is caught stumbling over his words in an attempt to describe his relationship with stolas is VERY telling. Even in the case where Blitzø did have some feelings towards stolas, I wouldnt put it above him to simply lie and state that there is nothing between them. that wouldve been incredibly easy, and yet... he stumbles.

Even so, he didnt even need to clarify. Striker used the word 'conned' implying he already had the impression that the sex was merely transactional. Blitzø literally couldve ended it at "the short answer is yes" and let striker respond. the fact that Blitzø felt like it was some sort of elephant in the room that needed to be addressed shows how his realtionship with Stolas is on insecure ground and is something he is self conscious about.

Some people have said that this scene is him trying to seem cool in front of striker, but again...he couldve just lied. Lying in order to appear cooler in front of someone he admires wouldve been extremely in character for him, and yet he didnt. its obvious he's experiencing some complicated emotions towards stolas, complicated enough that he couldnt even state the simple lie of 'there is nothing between us'.

3. Blitzø saving Stolas from Striker

Here Blitzø claims that stolas is his easiest ticket to earth, but thats not entirely true. the Grimoire is his easiest ticket to earth. stolas does not need to be alive in order for Blitzø to steal the grimoire and all its power. in fact, that'd be alot easier for the gang as they could keep the book safe in one location as opposed to bringing it back and forth between stolas's place and IMP headquarters and additionally having to go through the trouble of sleeping with him.

Here, Blitzø has the opportunity of taking stolas out of the equation, which would undeniably make things easier for him, and yet, he doesnt take it. theres obviously much more to why he saved Stolas here, and could possibly imply that Blitzø does care about him.

Anyway, those are all the details I caught from this episode. I really do hope Blitzø's feelings in regards to stolas are explored in the following episodes, cause boy am I invested

TOPs ex fling said he has a very small🍌 and is either bad at kissing or in bed

Yeah we know what bug eye 10 faces Han Seo Hee said. They were fuck buddies who smoked, drink and fucked occasionally.

I'm going to be blunt and defend Top 100% for once:

This is the most tired ass, weak, quick attention grabbing and intellectually stunted thing a woman can say about a man period. Unless you are virgin with absolutely no sexual experience or exposure to sexual content & themes to know, you all know DAMN well that this is the standard go to line all females use to belittle men and jab them really quick where it hurts cause that's what a man's main pride and esteem sexually is built on. Period. While sometimes most women are right and arent lying about this other times they are shouting through their teeth to knock the guy down a peg.

If T.O.P dick is trash and he sucks in bed what the fuck does that say about her? We can't control what we get ourselves into I.e if we pick someone who is good or trash cause we won't know until the pants come off and we get into the act but seriously, she laid down or bent over for him. She didn't have to. She could have stopped half way. She could have did it once and one time only. She could have even told him this and aided him if she cared which she has conveyed time and time again top was just a celebrity she was using. Her saying he has a small dick is like an opinion. Unless top gets bold one day and uploads his dick by mistake on story or regular post or it gets leaked somehow, we only have her word to go off of.

If I'm hearing from this messy delinquent of all people that he got trash dick, I want to wait until someone else can confirm who isn't on bad terms with him. Or someone else with some experience that is more intimate without transactional arrangements and intentions. Dick shaming to some degree has a lot of layers to it that weak women use cause it's a universally instant acceptable jab at a man many people believe right away without the man consent or taking his feeling into consideration.

I want to hear what a female who has ended on fairly okay or good terms (or just not bitter) with him has to say about his bedroom skills and dick. I can't and will not take what 1 female let alone a younger female who gives off the clear impression that she is consistently sexually active with others in the industry word for it. Also how do we not know that she is lying? I've seen TOP dick print more than I've seen the others.

I actually uploaded it in a post here but tumblr flagged it and removed it somehow. So I'll have to back and get the photos and post them tomorrow here but post the links to each photo for you all to see manually. Also when it comes to dick....

We do not know if T.O.P is a grower or a show-er?

Also I hate to say this as a woman myself but if he got a wack dick and sucks maybe she got a loose pussy or is used to taking a certain size from older men or certain men the average income girl who isnt rich doesn't fuck. Let's call a spade a spade here. There are some women who need a big dick and she may be one of them. What is too small for her may be just right for someone else or top dick could be too big if he were fucking a virgin. Simple. I'm also inclined to believe that they had sex under the influence so I will also give what she said a hard pass.

Also whatever they went through with the case is about the case only. She is beyond wrong and gross of a human being to hit below the belt by making this unjustified with sinking to personal business and trying to defame him by chipping at this appeal to young women as a boybander. That's personal. That's hateful. That's sexist. That's sexually abusive. You all know if T.O.P randomly came out and sex shamed her out of the blue unwarranted for no reason on insta story saying she had loose pussy or gave weak head / was vanilla in bed his career would be ruined more than it was with the weed thing.

So why has it been okay for her to say that? Sure TOP was petty for calling her a gold digger and throwing it back on her but shit if I in his position I would do the same to some degree. She threw the first petty punch and he got even.

Also sucking in bed is SUBJECTIVE. That's bullshit she trying to peddle to sexually inexperienced people or people who don't know how to venture out sexually or care to. What is ideal of good sex? I hate to use foul language but does she like being choked while fucked? Anal? From the back? Bent up in certain positons? Top putting her legs over his shoulders or against the wall? (Don't ask how I know that he would do this but I know...) Like unless sis has the heart and balls to spill in depth tea and tell us if they did missionary or something else, I can't run off her stale ass words about top skills

Also she needs to respect men. I'm not on the men aint shit wave that many girls love to be on for clout and inclusion. Some men like some women give their all sexually and are better sexually compatible with people they have feeling for. He may not have been screwing her like his life depended on it cause maybe if we getting raw here from a male perspective, maybe TOP just wanted some quick fucks or basic fucks just to get it in? You get what I'm saying?

If sex is trash then its trash. But she needs to say she had a bad experience with him and that is all. Not label his sexual skills as shitty all around. He could get with someone uglier than her and have bomb sex. Also sex skills again are subjective and not 1 size fits all cause not everyone fucks the same way. Some want to make love with of kissing and foreplay. Some want to get down to the business and ram you until they nut / cum. Some want a lot of dirty talk and some want silence. Some like it fast some like it slow.

It's 2021 and if we all on this LGBTQ / me too enlightenment then we have to excerise discernment and caution with stuff like this. We didn't need to know that they had sex. That was an attention grab and shade at him all in 1 blow. It was already there and assumed they slept together under the circumstances of the entire case. Only the youth and biased would believe this.

If TOP dick was wack she was desperate to take it other wise she would have slept with him before the weed in a hurry and never let him see her again. And she didn't tell us anything we didnt know about him being a weird person that's rhetorical as we see it and he told us all throughout his career

Top deserved better in this instance.

I won't stand for it. That had nothing to do with the marijuana case. His dick being shit doesn't change the fact they both had to go to court. You can't trust her word. And sis

Top gives me big dick energy (or at least decent dick) in many ways. I'll leave it at that.

Let's respect men for once and not buy into what a groupie fan says. Yes she was a groupie by 60s &70s definition people like her were considered groupies. Nothing more nothing less.

ive been considering seriously working towards publishing an actual book (e book/pdf/pay what you want thing) thats fully edited and produced with illustrations and everything. just a real clean parcel that isnt a typo ridden character exploration thing ah mcbob. but i have so many projects rn that im having trouble picking one to just narrow in and work on, so like, from these summaries which do yall think youd want to pay 69 cents* to for 50k+ words with at least one or two illustrations per chapter?

note that they will all be gothic romances and these are just the stories that i felt would be the fastest to tell so i would have a comparatively quick and easy first jab at self publishing while still having enough meat to meet the word count and thus being able to justify charging for them to myself.

Banes And Boons,

Conall E. Grim has lost nearly his entire family to werewolves in a single night, with only his bitten and turned little sister remaining he seeks out a powerful spirit with the hopes that it could heal her. Only to be told that while it could save her, she would have to remain at the spirit's side to keep her wolf at bay, unless Conall took her curse, and thus her place beside the cruel and viciouss spirit, upon himself.

Conall doesn't hesitate to take the spirit's offer, even as he feels he is falling into something much larger than just a brother's desperate attempt to save the only family he has left.

Werewolves and unicorns and witches with glass teeth. A life to be lived beneath the hill with a monster who's turning out to not be all that bad.

Cracking stone and blooming flowers

A somewhat modern retelling of the story of Pygmalion and Galatea.

Henry Wright has been abandoned by everyone who was supposed to love him. His muses coming and going as they proved themselves imperfect and disgusting, his beloved daughter having been whisked away by his jealous brother, his studio emptied of beauty as each piece smashed against the floor or burned in its frame.

He had nothing, a life as empty as the torn canvases and as blank as the marble infront of him.

If no muse would stay at his side, if no muse would love him as much as he loved them, he would just do what he does best and take matters into his own hands. Henry would make himself a muse who was truly perfect, truly free of the cruelty and humanity that plagued those that came before it.

A perfectionist artist and his slowly cracking muse.

The King's Advisors

High General Reidar and Consort Makota can not stand eachother. Which wasn't a problem when the king they both loved more than life itself kept them as distant from eachother as possible, but now that Reidar has come to live at the castle full time following a career ending injury, the two men are being forced to put up with eachother far more than either is happy with.

But after uncovering a plot that aimed to destroy their beloved king neither man can sit idly by. They both leap to action only to quickly learn that if they want to save King Baldric, they're going to have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

They'll have to work together.

all three stories will contain some hashtag dark themes [under the cut for those who want them] and all will probably be some degree of e rated but the smut wont be the front and center theme in any of them.

*69 cents will be the minimum bc i just think it would be very funny, other incriments will be in 4.20$ bc again, thats funny

warnings:

banes and boons: death, injuries, gore, Child death, comas, canibalism, unhealthy relationships, and arlo just being the worst

cracking stone and blooming flowers: obsession, domestic abuse, body horror, gaslighting, violence and gore, major character death, and unhealthy relationships.

the kings advisors: non consensual sex/rape, obsessive behaviors, violence, severe injury, domestic abuse, and you guessed it, unhealthy relationships.

#tbh im going to be boosting this one a few times bc this is going to be a big project #and i want to be certain before i start it

Slim Thicc

Cody/Admiral Reader

Cody gets a fun new nickname

AN: I cant sleep and was listening to this song. Nothing better to do and I thought this was funny. Also I'm loving the trend of hot beefy clones and I for one think Cody would have a fantastic ass.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Okay listen here Slim Thicc"

Cody choked on the water he was drinking.

"What?" He asked incredulously.

The admiral rolled her eyes and flashed a wicked toothy grin. Obi Wans eyes were wide open as they flitted between her and Cody. He let out a laugh.

"Slim thicc?"

She laughed and nodded. He could tell that Waxer and Boil, on the other side of the Holo-Table, we're just barely holding in peals of laughter. She leaned forward a bit and held out her hands parallel to each other.

"Yeah! Slim..." She ran one hand down straight to the floor, the other drew an invisible line that curved in and then back out, referencing his figure. "Thicc"

Two snorts of laughter caused Cody to snap a glare that quickly silenced them. Obi Wan though. He couldnt give Obi Wan two weeks of cleaning refreshers.

"Thats uh..." The Jedi let out a chuckle, "Very creative"

Cody flushed.

"I pride myself on being creative" She winks before explaining their next move in the war.

Cody kept staring. Not really paying attention to what she was saying. But forming a plan in his head of how to get back at her for the embarrassing nickname she dubbed him with. One he probably wont live down seeing as Waxer and Boil left soon after the report, most likely to gossip. Later that night Cody got his revenge in the form of making her beg until tears sprung from her eyes for sweet release. Teasing her about "not so creative right now are you?" She got him back later that night with a sharp pinch to the ass, to which they went another healthy round.

The name would eventually blow over Cody thought, laying with his culprit sleeping snug in his embrace.

-------------------------------------------------------

A shiny. A newly minted. Fresh off the block shiny. Had just called him slim thicc. Slim. Thicc.

"Excuse me?"

"Reporting for duty Commander Slim Thicc, Sir!" He stated. Loudly. In a perfect poker face. In perfect parade salute. Cody ever so slowly looked over to where her knew she'd be at. To see her wide eyed with her hand covering her mouth. He could feel the stares and the teasing that would soon follow it.

Shaking his head Cody rubbed where his temple would be on his helmet. Thankful that he had it on. His face was flushed to the max.

"Trooper, my name" Cody sighed, "My name isnt...Slim Thicc. Its Marshal Commander Cody"

The shiny flustered and began to ramble out apologies and explanations. He had overheard people talking and assumed he had decided on a name change.

Cody dismissed the apologies in good humor and then the Shiny to go back to his barracks.

Cody stalked over to his admiral.

"Thats not my fault Cody. Cody. Cody I didnt know. Cody! Stop!" She giggled backing up and trying to jog away from him until he snagged her waist and quickly pulled her into a storage closet. A quiet peal of laughter left her lips as he nibbled on that one spot on her neck that always made her laugh.

"Yeah but you started it you little minx" he grinned before assaulting her with ticklish jabs and sweet kisses. He had time to kill. There wasnt anything wrong with appreciating him being slim thicc for just a moment. It did get him his girl.

Blood Type: B Positive

A/N: *GIF ISNT MINE* sup y’all! i literally haven’t written since middle school (i'm going into junior year). i just wrote this based on my experience a few days ago, i’m terrified of needles and getting blood taken. i did a little puny spin on it to make it a little better :) hope y'all enjoy <3

Couple: Spencer Reid/Reader

Category: FLUFFY FLUFF

Warnings: Lots of Bad Puns, (Fear of) Needles, Getting Blood Drawn, Hospital/Clinic Environment

Word Count: 1,493

--------------------------------------------

“I don’t know if I can do this, Spencer.” I continuously looked back at him and down at my lap. I was obviously nervous, judging by my bouncing leg and constant fidgeting.

I have to get my blood drawn today and even though my day job surrounds me with blood and tears, the moment someone mentions a needle coming anywhere towards me, I feel like passing out. Spencer could see how obviously this was bothering me. I felt his hand on my now profusely shaking thigh as we sat on the most uncomfortable clinic lobby chairs to exist.

“I’ll be there with you every step of the way alright? I've already let the doctors know about how you’re feeling today and they’ve allowed me to stay with you when it happens.” Spencer pulled me out of my thoughts as he gave me a small squeeze on the thigh. I shoot him a soft, slightly fake smile before returning to my thoughts involuntarily.

All I can think about is how the foreign object is actually going to be inside my skin, the needle, inside me. What if they can’t find a vein immediately, what if they just keep jabbing into my arm to find a vein and they accidentally rip open one of them and I bleed out right there? What if-

“Y/F/N? Y/F/N Y/L/N?” a nurse called out from the front desk as I felt my heart drop. Spencer could clearly see the absolute terror in my eyes so he took one of my fidgeting hands in his as he helped me up. I complied, no matter how badly I wanted to just run out the door.

As we entered the back room, I felt Spencer give my hand a squeeze of reassurance, earning a small, more genuine, smile from me.

The room was painted white, sectioned off into 3 different areas, 2 were occupied with other patients getting their blood drawn. The sight of someone getting their blood drawn made me weak at my knees, knowing I’m next. The floor was mostly tiled, alternating between green and white-colored tiles. The walls were speckled with small posters, some identifying the different uses and bottles of blood that could be taken, others with generic quotes. The area that we were taken to was the farthest away from the little lobby we were in before.

“You can go ahead and sit right here,” the lady nurse motioned at the light brown cushioned chair attached to the floor, the arms being the type that would curve inward towards the person sitting down, used for these exact scenarios. “You can stand beside her if you want.” She smiled towards Spencer. Spencer sent her a nod and quick thank you as she walked off to go grab, what I presumed, were supplies.

As I sat down, my damn leg started bouncing again, gaining a sympathetic look from Spencer. I looked up at him, seeing the cogs in his brain turning before his mouth turned into a slight grin.

“Did you know that research from YouGov Omnibus reports show that about 59% of Americans enjoy puns?” Spencer spoke, averting my attention away from the 5 blood canisters on the table beside me. I let out a slight chuckle, understanding, and appreciating his new method of distracting me.

“I’m guessing we fall into that category?” I questioned back, earning a small grin from him. “Tell me your worst pun,” I add, giving in to the distraction. It looked as if he was deep in thought for a second.

“What did I say to the boiling pot of water on the stove?”

“I don’t know Spence, what did you say??” I say sarcastically, although I was eager to hear his response. He chuckled to himself,

“Rest in peace water, you will be mist.” We both erupted into a small fit of laughter, making sure to cover my mouth to not bring too much attention towards myself.

“That physically hurt to listen to, oh my god,” I say as I’m slowly coming down from my laughs. “But I’ve got a better one.” Spencer cocked a single eyebrow at me, waiting for my response.

“What do you call a classroom lesson on serial killers?”

“Criminology?” Spencer joked, earning a glare from me. “I don’t know Y/N, what do you call a classroom lesson on serial killers?”

“A Hannibal Lecture!” We erupted once again, a bit louder than before. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the nurse making her way back to me. I lightly smacked Spencer’s arm to signal him that we need to calm down. Thankfully, we somewhat calmed down by the time the nurse returned.

“I see you’ve calmed down a bit.” The nurse pointed out, smiling sweetly at me. I returned the smile with a small yeah, eyeing Spencer. He was still quietly giggling to himself. I shot him a playful glare to get him to calm down because if he was laughing, I was bound to start laughing as well. “I’m just going to tie this around your right arm, by doing this, I’m making your veins pop out so I don’t have to go digging in your arm to find one.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, I felt my stomach drop slightly. I gave her a nod and I felt Spencer give my left hand, which was currently intertwined with his, a little reassuring squeeze.

“Okay, I’ve found a vein,” she stated calmly. I felt my blood pressure rise a bit. “I’m now going to disinfect the area. I’ll let you know when I’ve inserted the needle into your arm, alright?” she stated again. I sent her another nod as I averted my attention to Spencer. He’s smiling down at me, finally calming down fully from his little giggle attack. I sent him a little squeeze, signaling him to distract me as the lady entered a huge needle into my arm.

He took the hand that he was holding and carefully laid a kiss on top of it, making sure not to make me move my other arm. The grin I gave him then was probably one of the biggest and most genuine smiles I’ve given him today. This man really knows how to calm someone down.

“I’m inserting the needle now.” The lady states. I immediately closed my eyes, feeling a tight pinch on my arm. I involuntarily let out a small ow, making Spencer chuckle again. As my body begins to adapt to the tight fabric around my upper arm and the obvious needle inside of me, I send Spencer another glare. He just gives my hand another kiss and holds it against his cheek, our fingers still intertwined. We sat in a weirdly-comfortable silence for another minute or so.

“That’s it, you’re free to go!” the lady exclaims, causing me to open my eyes to see the 5 vials of my own blood. “I’m going to remove the needle from your arm now,” she states again as I watch her remove it, feeling calmer and a bit embarrassed at my anxieties that melted away so quickly. She then asked me to hold a small cotton ball over the puncture, causing me to let go of Spencer, putting a small amount of tape over it to secure it. I already felt my arm becoming sore. She then led us out the little corridor, to the lobby door. I waved and said a quick thank you before speed walking out.

“Wow, you really wanna get out of here, don’t you?” Spencer questions, mockingly. I send him a quick “yup” before walking out of the clinic. I then turn around and throw him the keys of the car, prompting that he should drive because of my already sore arm. Although Spencer’s kind of a smart ass sometimes, he was a complete and utter gentleman, coming over to open my door for me. I say a quick thank you before making my way into the car carefully.

As he enters the car, he doesn’t start it immediately, instead sits down and stares at me, lovingly, for a quick second. I mimicked his early gesture, cocking an eyebrow at him not starting the car. He looks me up and down and says,

“You know what you are Y/N? You’re copper tellurium.” He says nonchalantly, as he then starts the car. It takes you a second to realize what he said, knowing that chemistry has never been your strong suit.

“Copper tellurium?” you say out loud. As you buckle your seat belt, it hits you. “Oh! I’m cute? Awe Spence.” You feel your heart warm at the small pick up line Spencer just used on you. As Spencer pulls out of the parking spot, a slight blush covers his face.

“Well, Iodine Lutetium Vanadium Uranium” I responded, sheepishly. Spencer once again chuckles before intertwining our fingers,

“I love you too.”

an important notice.

been debating this back and forth....um i dont think i will write any form of explicit nsfw ever again (save for maybe suggestiveness, heavy and/or vague implications). im not asking for moral support, consolation or something. i guess you can perceive this as a form of announcement?

there's some things i wanted to clarify —

this isnt criticism or a twisted fashion to take a jab at someone BUT this is very personal and just...something which only applies to me. so with all due respect to the parties concerned, explicit content just really makes me uncomfortable to write, idk...it doesn't quite sit right with me anymore. (which i have mentioned on many occasions) and i just want my writings to be gender neutral, race neutral and open for all bodies and selves, which is the way it should be.

albeit, im no purist, i must mention that because im turning twenty this year, it renders to me the sense that i can no longer use frivolity for an excuse to avoid the pressing factor, which is — according to my close surveillance, i only enjoy writing about romance which demands a certain amount of depth and is starkly independent from sex , so when i try to craft something with a lot of under the belt content, it comes from a place of uneasy obligation which oft makes me feel....really bad like...i am treating myself unfairly. because...what's the point of creating something if it will only bring you constant frustration? what's the point of writing something when it no longer makes you happy, you know? when i look back and see my old explicit works getting praise, i feel very... belittled, embarrassed that i reduced myself into someone who was willing to sacrifice their own perceptions to gain attention.

with all that being said, i ought still continue to write, i will take the liberty to remove nsfw content from my upcoming stories, and hopefully rewrite them into something which embraces inclusivity wholly. meaning, that it will be readable by anyone of any race, gender, etc as aforementioned.

please take your time to adjust to the changes and thank you for bearing with me. i feel that there is no need for me to apologise so i won't.

regards

this was written several weeks ago in response to asks i was receiving i am posting it now it is very long the longest i have ever made and it is not very well edited but here it is in this final essay i talk about how shitty rae is about black people in her writing as well as just me talking about how her writing sucks in general lets begin

hello everyone

as you may know i have received a lot of anons in the last week or so about issues of racism in the beetlejuice community both just generally speaking and also within specific spaces

i was very frustrated to not be getting the answers i wanted because i typically do not talk about what i do not see but in an effort to be better about discourse i went looking through discourse from before my time in the fandom and i also received some receipts and information from my followers and from some friends

keep in mind that the voices and thoughts of bipoc are not only incredibly important at all times but in this circumstance it is important that if a bipoc has something to add you listen and learn and be better

i admit that when this happened i wasnt aware of the extent of what occurred and im angry at myself for not doing more at that time and i want to work harder to make sure something like this doesnt go unnoticed again

im a hesitant to talk about months old discourse because i have been criticized for bringing up quote old new unquote but this is very important and i am willing to face whatever comes from to me

lets talk about this

content from our local racist idiot that may be months old but its important

putting my thoughts under a cut to spare the dash but before i begin obviously this is awful

lets fucking unpack this folks

right out the gate op states that she supports artistic freedom but then within a couple words she goes against that statement

being entirely canon compliant isnt artistic freedom and even so if this person has so much respect for canon they wouldnt be out here erasing lydias obvious disgust for beetlejuice in the movie or ignoring lydias age for the sake of shipping that shit isnt canon either

also we love the quick jab at the musical there hilarious we love it dont we because god forbid a licensed and successful branch on a media have any standing in this conversation but whatever

now lets scroll down and talk about the term racebending

the term racebending was coined around 2009 in response to the avatar the last airbender movie a film in which the east asian races of the characters were erased by casting white actors in the three leading roles of aang sokka and katara

whenever the term racebending is used in a negative light it is almost always a case of whitewashing like casting scarlett johansen in ghost in the shell or the casting of white actors of the prince of persia sands of time instead of iranian ones

this kind of racebending erases minorities from beeing seen in media and is wrong

all that being said however racebending has also been noted to have very positive after effects like the 1997 adaptation of cinderella or casting samuel jackson as nick fury in the marvel movies nick fury was originally a white guy can you even imagine

i read this piece from an academic that said quote writers can change the race and cultural specificity of central characters or pull a secondary character of color from the margins transforming them into the central protagonist unquote

racebending like the kind that rae is so heated about is the kind of creative freedom that leads to more representation of bipoc in media which will never be a bad thing ever no matter how pissy you get about it

designing a version of a character as a poc isnt serving to make them necessarily better it serves to give new perspective and perhaps the opportunity to connect even more deeply with a character it doesnt marginalize or erase white people it can uplift poc and if you think uplifting poc is wrong because it tears down white people or whatever youre a fucking moron and you need to get out of your podunk white folk town and see the real world

the numbers of times a bipoc particularly a bipoc that is also lgbt+ has been represented in media are dwarfed by what i as a white dude have seen myself represented in media is and that isnt okay that isnt equality and its something that should change not only in mainstream media but in fandom spaces as well

lets move down a bit further to the part about bullying straight people which is hilarious and lets also talk about the term fetishistic as well lets start with that

this person literally writes explicit pornography of a minor and an adult are we really going to let someone like that dictate what is and what isnt fetishistic

similarly to doing a positive racebend situation people may project lgbt+ headcanons on a character because its part of who they are and it helps them feel closer to the character and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that

depicting lgbt+ subject matter on existing characters isnt an inherently fetishistic action generally things only really become fetishistic when the media is being crafted and hyped by people who are outside of lgbt+ community for example how young teens used to flip a tit about yaoi or how chasers fetishize trans people

but drawing a character with top surgery scars or headcanoning them as trans is harmless and its just another way to interpret a character literally anone could be trans unless if their character bio says theyre cis and most of them dont go that deep so it really is open to interpretation and on the whole most creators encourage this sort of exploration because it is a good thing to get healthy representation out in the world

as for it being used to bully straights thats just funny i dont have anything else on that like if youre straight and you feel threatened and bullied because of someone headcanoning someone as anything that isnt cishet youre a fucking idiot and a weak baby idiot at that like the real world must fucking suck for you because lgbt+ people are everywhere and statistically a big chunk of your favorite characters arent cishet sorry be mad about it

lets roll down a bit further about the big meat of the issue which was when several artists were drawing interpretations of lydia as a black girl which i loved but clearly this person didnt love it because they have a very narrow and very racist and problematic view of what it means to be a black person

and before i move forward i must reiderate that i am a white person and you should listen to the thoughts of poc people like @fright-of-their-lives or @gender-chaotic it is not my place to explain what the black experience is like and it certainly isnt this persons either

implying that the story of a black person isnt worth telling unless if the character faces struggles like racism and prejudice is downright moronic

why use the word kissable to describe a black persons lips now thats what i call fetishistic and its to another extreme if youre talking about a black version of lydia on top of that

the author of this post says herself that shes white so clearly shes the person whos an authority on the black experience and what it means to be a black person right am i reading that right or am i having a fucking conniption

how about allowing black characters to exist without having to struggle why cant a black version of lydia just be a goth teenager with a ghost problem who likes photography and is also black like she doesnt have to move to a hick town and get abused by racist folks she doesnt have to go through any more shit than she already goes through and if you honestly think thats the only way to tell a black persons story you need to get your brain cleaned

you know nothing about the complexities about being a black person and i dont either but you know wh odo black people who are doing black versions of canon characters they fucking know

lets squiggle down just a bit further

so the writer has issues with giving characters traits like a broad nose or larger lips if theyre a woman but if theyre a man suddenly its totally okay to go all ryan murphy ahs coven papa legba appropriation when approaching character design like are you fucking stupid do you hear yourself is that really how you see black men like what the fuck is wrong with you

none of the shit youre spewing takes bravery it takes ignorance and supreme levels of stupidity

do you really think you with your fic where a black lgbt+ woman is tortured and abused where you use the n word with a hard r to refer to her like that shits not okay its fucking depraved and yeah we know you love being shitty but like christ on a bike thats so much

can we also talk about this

what the fuck is this fetishistic bull roar garbage calling this black character beyonce dressing her up in quote fuck me heels unquote are you are you seriously gonna write this and say its a shining example of how to write a black character youre basically saying ope here she is shes a sex icon haha im so progressive and i clealry understand the black experience hahahaha fuck you oh my god

on top of that theres a point where this character is only referred to as curly hair or the fact that the n word is used in the fic with the hard r like thats hands down not okay for you to use especially not in a manner like this jesus christ

oop heres a little more a sampling for you of the hell i am enduring in reading this drivel

oh boy lets put a leash on the angry black woman character lets put her in a leash and have the man imply hes a master like are you kidding me are you for real and what the fuck is with calling her shit like j lo and beyonce do you actually think thats clever at all are you just thinking of any poc that comes into your head for this

also lydia fucking tells this girl that she shouldnt have lost her temper like she got fucking leashed im so tired why is this writing so problematic and also so bad

hold up before i lose my head lets look at some of her own comments on the matter of this character and what happens to her

hi hello youre just casually tossing the word lynch out there in the wide open world as if thats not a problem that is still real like are you fucking unhinged there have been multiple cases of this exact thing happening in our firepit of a country in the last five months alone like how can you still have shit like this up for people to read how can you be proud of work like this in this climate

and also what the fuck is that last bit

what the actual fuck

i dont speak for black people as a white person but you do!? im sorry i had to get my punctuation out for that because wow thats fucking asinine just because one black person read your fic and didnt find the torture and abuse of your one black character abhorrant doesnt mean that the vast majority of people not only in the fandom but in the human population with decency are going to think its okay because its not

i started this post hoping to be level headed and professional but jesus fucking christ this woman is something else white nationalism is alive and well folks and its name is rae

if you defend this woman you defend some truly abhorrant raecism

editors notes

in order to get some perspective on these issues more fully some of the writing by the author was examined and on the whole it was pretty unreadable but i want to just call back to the very beginning of this essay where the person in question talked about holding canon in high regard but then in their writing they just go around giving people magic and shit and ignoring the end of the movie entirely like are you canon compliant or nah

the writing doesnt even read like beetlejuice fanfic it reads as self indulgent fiction you could easily change the names and its just a bad fanfic from 2007

also can we talk about writing the lesbian character as an angry man hater like its 2020 dude and als olets touch on that girl on girl pandering while beetlejuice is just there like here we go fetishizing again wee

i cant find a way to work this into this already massive post but

im going to throw up

okay so thats a lot we have covered a lot today and im sure my ask box will regret it but this definitely should have been more picked apart when it happened

please feel free to add more to this i would love more perspectives than just my own.

#long post #racism #raecism #im so tired #thanks for reading
