At the bus stop one time there was a gaggle of preschoolers waiting to catch the bus for a field trip day, and someone walked past with a couple of friendly little dogs, to great general delight.
But after a little bit, the dogs were getting overwhelmed, and the preschoolers were gently coaxed to back off so the person with the dogs could continue on. Specifically, one of the preschool teachers said, "Sometimes, when you're small, being surrounded by big people can be a bit scary and overwhelming. Even if they are friendly."
This was recieved as great wisdom: after all, the preschoolers were also small, and understood how scary and overwhelming big people could be! And the dogs were indeed even smaller than the preschoolers, so it made sense.
What was funny and charming was that, upon absorbing and reflecting on this wisdom, they all felt the need to tell it to one another. In tones of great insight, they turned to one another and said, "Did you know? Sometimes when you are small, being surrounded by big people can be scary and overwhelming! Even if they are friendly!" Back and forth, without any particular concern that they were all saying the same thing. Have reached comprehension of an insight, it must be shared!
I must say that this behavior is less charming in tumblr users than in preschoolers. Not least because tumblr users, having gained a little analytical skill to misuse, insist on Summarizing and Generalizing and Unifying the insights they repeat, quickly turning any interesting new information into formulaic dogmatic mush.

ZUKO WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE THE TOXIC EX OMG ur so right
RIGHT WKDHSH like i’m sorry zuko is suuuch an asshole (and it’s 80% of what makes him so great imo) and ok ofc most of it stems from trauma and anger issues but until he works through it (send zuzu to therapy 2k22) his vibes are atrocious and genuinely harmful for himself and the ones close to him. he has sooo much apologizing to do (esp to mai and/or jet who had the misfortune to date him during his flop era ((not that mai and jet are issue free but. idk. i feel like zuko is the professional shit stirrer in those relationships))

OK question for folks !!!! how many of y'all have seen the netflix show sweet tooth??
if not (which i anticipate will be many of y'all) i HIGHLY RECOMMEND, esp if you're into post apocalyptic settings with bright colors, fairytale aesthetics, & the found family trope!!! despite it being post-apocalyptic and having quite a few dark scenes it's a super good show with MANY cute moments !!!!

Do you still like Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss? I do, but mainly because of your Chelsa stuff.
Also, I don’t know all the facts, but I personally believe that Vivziepop is, at least, somewhat innocent. I mean, being draconic and somewhat with the contract is wrong, but… this was the person who almost got cancelled do to CP. WHICH SHE NEVER CREATED. So pardon my skepticism for that.
Also, this just highlights my problem with Cancel Culture: It’s stupid and toxic. I mean, yes, J.K Rowling is a bitch, but at the same time, Scott Cawthon having his donations doxxed, and being harassed because he supported Republicans is stupid (but I will concede the point about Pro-Life). Especially if it’s over an old tweet or viewpoint. It’s in the past. People grow, learn. J.K Rowling not withstanding.
Yes I do... and thanks! Chelsa is such a rare pairing, gosh ahaha... I wanna do more with it!
I will say after rumors of what happened to Hazbin Hotel (it not getting more than a season... i really hope that's untrue), and after the recent Helluva Boss episode, my interest has decreased.
So previous stuff has been confirmed untrue, especially the CP stuff. That was taken out of context and that was also over a decade ago. Recent stuff however, I have had some things confirmed. She is biased and prefers to rub elbows with famous broadway actors despite the fact that they're so much more costly than indie voice actors.
On Vivziepop's twitter she said
"I have so much to say but can’t yet, what I can say is I’m thankful to A24 for how Hazbin is being done and I’m so saddened seeing the treatment of animated shows on so many platforms this year. Glad that Helluva will remain in my custody forever, and lucky I can make it indie."
and
"I truly believe independent animation is a way to safely give people what they want and not be decided by a bigger business with different values. It’s not easy to have a thriving indie project but it’s possible! Support indie animation you love and help it gain bigger life!"
With "I'm thankful to A24 for how Hazbin is being done" and "I'm glad Helluva will remain in my custody forever, and that it can stay indie" and "not be decided by a bigger business with different values" ? Those are suspicious things to say. She is talking about HBO Max right now, but A24 is also a big company, despite it typically letting the creators have more control, Hazbin Hotel will most likely be put on the Hulu streaming service itself. So her words are ironic and confusing.
She still seems to support Hazbin Hotel, and claims they needed animators for Hazbin/Helluva as though she's still in charge. So rumors about her not being head honcho of Hazbin Hotel may not be true.
But she is looking to expand her animation & compositing team, which is a yellow flag. That either means the team members are simply overworked and need more help with production, .....orrrrrrrrr people got fed up and left, and now they need to fill in these empty positions ASAP. Again, that's unconfirmed speculation, but... it's happened before with other studios.
We also all seem to forget she's an amateur who is still learning how to write and run a studio. It is highly likely she is in over her head, what with trying to bounce between almost three projects at once (her AMVS, the Zoophobia short, then Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel) It's taken her some time to focus. She is capable of being a poor writer, making mistakes, and sometimes being bad, and people should be able to criticize her for it. But she should also not go through depressive episodes after mass cyberbullying on the internet. Good god people!

P.S. Republicans tend to be pro-life, anti-women, anti-POC and anti-LGBTQ+, depending on how far right they are. Doxxing and life threats I will never condone, but people have a right to be upset when they believe someone is against them for supporting people that don't have their best interest in heart or mind. (Especially if their support money is being used by that person against them. Trump's vice president was an adamant anti-LGBTQ+ activist; amongst a long list of other bad things Trump did as president)
