"I want Annabeth to be blonde :(" then pick up a PJO book and read it you dumb fuck

there’s a really fucking gross pattern of mcytblr using techno’s Sacred Memory in their agenda against dream and completely disrespecting him/his family in the process. like getting mad at the remembering techno stream (even though techno’s dad wanted to do it because he invited dream into their home to meet his family) and getting mad at dream putting the crown on his skin (even though that’s a completely normal tribute to a close personal friend) and now getting mad at the amnesia ending because it fOrCEs eVeRyoNe To FOrGet HiM (even though dream had a one-on-one call with everyone months ago to confirm the ending and, again, was a close personal friend)

it’s sick to weaponize phil and niki’s grief for your parasocial hatred for some guy, it’s sick to look at two people (dream and tommy) who are also grieving and say “you must have forced this on people, it must be to sweep under the rug all the bad things c!/cc!dream did.” no matter what you think of dream and his actions it’s sick how determined mcytblr is to find bad intentions from someone who was trusted to share the news of techno’s passing, who’s done nothing but honor him since. and of course everyone is so completely lacking in self awareness about it, because Dream Bad so anything we say against him is morally and logically correct, even if it disrespects the wishes of the family and friends of the person we’re leaping in front of imaginary bullets to protect. dream can do anything he wants regarding techno as far as i’m concerned. he knew and loved him more than you or i ever could

hey since a lot of my followers on both here and instagram are part of the ghost and pals fandom I just wanted to say that I really don’t plan on contributing or interacting with this fandom that much anymore. I mostly started interacting with the fandom in early 2023 once I started my instagram account but I’m starting to dislike it; it feels like it’s mostly just a bunch of chronically online people fighting over the stupidest stuff and that’s about it. I also feel like ghost kind of starts a lot of the fighting amongst their fans in a way. so yeah I might upload some gnp fanart very rarely since the character designs are still somewhat decent, but don’t expect much from me. I’d rather focus on media I actually do like instead of what people followed me for.

So it turns out my longer posts (where I make comic-style stories about my character) get blocked from tags entirely...

I guess I can't post comic drabble stuff anymore? @staff why did you set it up like this? Who is gonna be able to see my posts if they're all just blocked from the tags? I can't express myself or my work on here anymore? Do I have to find workarounds now???

This is extremely disheartening...

fun little fact about having a family member who is culturally aware but also tone deaf:

they know that calling you fat as an insult is wrong now. they know that describing your appearance as overweight (as a means to encourage you to be “healthy”) is damaging to your mental health because there are studies and anecdotes about why that is not ok

but being aware does not mean they agree. it just means they are aware that what they used to say out loud will be met with judgement.

so they change the story. again. they don’t call you fat or overweight. they start implying that maybe your body type (which is normal) actually always meant something else. maybe the fatness wasn’t your fault, per se, but you didn’t help in easing it either. because maybe, you’ve grown “intolerant to insulin”. maybe the chubbiness that grows on your cheeks and stomach and legs every winter might be normal but if it stays then it must mean that your body is malfunctioning

they don’t say the word they want to say out right, but will skirt around it and talk to you almost condescending, suggesting you (ordering you) to change your habits, making sure include all the nutritional and scientific terminology they can in order to sound like a fact

me when i follow someone / talk to someone and yhen find out they're a cj shipper :-(

and another thing! what the ultra-pessimistic, "absolute power corrupts absolutely" takes on superman miss badly is that the conversation to be had around superman isn't... really... about power? hell, as an anarchist, you will find nobody else that wants to have conversations about the corrosive property of authority, but that's what we have superman parodies for! omniman and homelander have that conversation covered. superman doesn't need to have a piece of the pie as well

what superman SHOULD be about is the inclusive property of humanity. about how humanity isn't a physical quality you can study or quantify or something that you can earn or inherit, but what you choose to be. that no matter where you come from, no matter what your ability, humanity is about community, and you build communities by being the best "you" you can be!

cuz life fucking sucks!! we're literally being beamed a 24/7 stream of how fucked we are with no hope in sight. remember, superheroes are meant to be the representation of the ubermensch (the ultimate man). say what you will about superman, that he's a neoliberal wet dream, that he's the epitome of great man theory, that he's reformist propaganda or whatever, (which are all valid critiques!) but i think we deserve to have a little hope now and again. i think we need to be reminded what it is to be human.

evil shout out (with malice, negativity) to the woman at work who, upon me saying how much I weighed, said "no you're not! you look smaller than that. that weight would make you big" thanks Julie 🙃

the way that there are only 3/15 mixed teams in which everyone is born before 2000, i feel old

Babydoll, you'd feel like you were lying to them because you literally would be 😭😭

There were so many comments saying it was the same as reading a book and I just know all of those bitches were white 😭😭😭

Listen. Fanfiction is not the same as a published book. It's just not.

The thing is you're thinking that they're somehow the same medium of art just because they're both written word format, but they have completely different rules to them

It would be like saying a sololiquy and a sonnet are the same thing because they're both forms of poetry, it's just patently false. They are not the same thing and the reason you feel like you'd be lying is because you know that they are not the same thing

It is not complicated it is literally two different forms of writing that you are trying to equate as the same things because you think that by somehow claiming fanfiction is the same as reading a book you've elevated it to this grander scale because you look down on fanfiction as it is, you want to claim fanfiction as the same as a published book because you want to get the quote unquote prestige that comes with reading an actual book because you don't want to admit that all you read is fanfiction and haven't picked up a book since your middle school library classes

You think the only way a fanfiction can earn respect is if you say it is exactly the same as a published and in doing so you devalue both the work of fanfiction and published books

Go to a library and pick up a book, it will have an extremely different style and rulebook than your average fanfiction

They are just different things, that doesn't make one better or worse than the other and you need to get your heads out of your asses and recognize that your unedited 'no beta we die like men' or even betaed fics are an extremely different medium than that of a published book

Welp, guess who is a medical doctor now (hint: it’s me)

yep i wasn't joking on my last post

quick psa about anon hate:

to all the people (maybe it’s just one) sending me hate for not writing for certain people anymore - what is your goal? bc sending me hate to get me to write for them again is not very effective and i’m not going to entertain you and your hate anymore. also i appreciate all the people asking about where my old fics have gone but it’s just crazy to me how i’ve never seen any one of you interacting with my blog before, never left a comment, not following me, nothing. and now you’re wondering where my fics have gone? y’all are only upset now that the fics are gone but you never appreciated/showed support in the first place? idk it hurts a little. i’m not a machine. i’m a person.

okay I'm sorry I love all of you but I really hate this 'prev tags' thing. I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing to try and click on the reblog before yours to see what the joke is. Half the time it won't let me, it just takes me to the OP or the top of the blog of the last reblog or whatever. And even if I do get to go back and view it half the time I lose my place on my dash so it's barely worth even trying and then I miss out on the conversation.

Just copy the tags...please...it's especially easy on mobile when the original tags pop up when you reblog anyway...

Being a cFundy fan was the worst thing to ever happen to me

Y'all are overusing the "I love you" template. If I see that come up, it better contain some absolutely DEVASTATING news. I'm talking WORLD-SHAKING DEVELOPMENTS. Not whatever is happening in ur TV show.
