Some of you may remember that time I posted Yxala on reddit, and I got some incel of sorts getting extremely worked up at me because she has a bit of a belly, and he found the concept completely impossible to believe. Because well, that's what happens when you mostly watch anime girls and play league of legends, I guess. Conversation in the left, right is the character in question.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I blocked the guy, he saltily edited the message after that because he couldn't keep illuminating my itty bitty AFAB brain with his Truth, I guess.
Now, here's the fun part: The other day, Reddit updated for me and now I can see message requests- Those messages that stay on a different folder until you approve of them. And it turns out, this guy had sent me a message with a throwaway account months ago, named "Thin Weight", to keep shedding his truth to me:
Tumblr media
I won't even get on how he had to infantilize me to feel superior, but. Wow. Just. What in the actual fuck.
This grown man felt the URGE to make a new account (against reddit's ToS, btw) to bypass a block (also against the ToS) to keep telling me how he knew what Womens Bellies Look Like. Funniest thing? Her bodytype is based on real-life wrestlers.
I'm mostly sharing because I just want to laugh at this clown at this point, because you just can't make these up

me: avpd is something i’ll have forever. even if i learn how to manage it and accommodate it, it’ll always be part of the way my brain works and i’ll always have to deal with certain challenges that come with that. i have no interest in trying to reach “complete recovery” because that would require fundamentally changing my brain, and i would rather stay myself and learn how to live a good life with the brain i have.
my avoidance: starts becoming more prominent again after a period of time where it was easier to live with, resulting in the return of a lot of feelings i’d gotten used to not feeling so strongly, because having an easier time for a while doesn’t mean my lifelong neurodivergence has just disappeared.

I know it’s haha heehee funny to blame every little thing that happens in a show on the creator in the same vein people would say it about obama or todd howard. People did it for Pen Ward for Adventure Time (even longggggg after Pen was no longer directing the show), they did it with Rebecca Sugar for Steven Universe, and now they’re doing it with Dana for Owl House. It’s nothing new and yet, the closer I get to joining the animation industry, the more heartbreaking it becomes.
Someone drew those backgrounds. Someone else designed those props. Several people did these storyboards and several others wrote this script. These people have NAMES and IDEAS and deserve recognition too! Making an animation is a team effort. Sometimes your favorite thing about a show comes from the mind of a lesser known crew member you haven’t heard about, and the creator had nothing to do with it.

The only shitty thing about being a self-shipper in some fandoms is when you want to connect with people who are in that same fandom as you and share your love of the characters you ship with, whether with fanfics you wrote or art you drew/commissioned, but having this gut feeling that you just KNOW that people are going to laugh at your or call you gross or whatever, and it sucks. You basically have to tread so lightly and tiptoe around glass with how you talk positively about certain characters because otherwise people will bully you for it in any way they can and almost force you to isolate yourself from the majority of the fandom, if not completely ruin your love for that source- and that shouldn't happen, but it does.
Whether just for fun or actually serious about it, LET PEOPLE SELF-SHIP. So long as they're not hurting or offending anyone, the character and person shipping themselves with them are both adults, and are happy with how they live and express themselves, it shouldn't be an issue. Who fucking cares if people call it "cringe" or "stupid" or whatever words they come up with? It's something we love, and characters we love, and us self-shippers deserve to be able to feel safe and accepted in the sources we love without worrying about being insulted by it. Let us love what we love- we're not stopping you from enjoying your fandoms, so don't do it to us.

(PRO-SHIP/ANTI-SHIP/COM-SHIP DNI IN ANY WAY, THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU.)

An aromantic autistic reading of Joker Out's "Bluza"/"the Blouse"
I have a few words about Bluza. The Blouse.
When I first heard the title, I felt a connection to this song yet in a very tongue-in-cheek way. Because I read the working title was a nod to the white holed sweater blouse (the slut shirt) Bojan forgot at Jere’s place last autumn. But then thanks to JokerOutSubs I realized that this song really speaks to me in another way.
Disclaimer: I am speaking about this from an autistic aroace point of view and as a person who has masked most their lives and doesn’t drink. I hope to explain why this matters in the post below.
The lines that especially spoke to me are these: Ja ko pijana budala Ali čaše nisam popio Jamislim da sam se zaljubio u tebe
I’m acting like a drunk idiot But I haven’t had a single glass I think I’ve fallen in love with you
As a person who has spend most my life being critical about what to say, do, and how I show of myself to people I see the drunkenness described here not as literal but as a form of unmasking. When you find that one person you feel so comfortable around that you know that they won’t leave you or care if you stop being presentable in the eyes of society.
The result is that you may seem drunk and out of character when you are close to them. Drunk as in unlike yourself but also much more yourself. You dare to be authentic and to be silly and vulnerable because this person next to you gets you. No alcohol you could consume would fill you with as much giddiness as being with this person does. There is something about this one person that just speaks to you and let you know that you are safe.
While not having been drunk myself this is what I expect is the feeling most drunk people are searching for: the experience of not caring about what other people might think about them anymore. They just exist outside time and space in a bubble of bliss.
The person in the song is that for Bojan. His bubble of bliss – his safe space.
I’ve been lucky enough to have people like that too for small periods of time. And just like the next line I have felt very strongly connected to the person in those moments thinking “is this was love feels like?”. And here I don’t necessarily mean romantic attraction/love. I mean love as in a deeper, more profound level. The love that is outside of bodily desire. It is two spirits – two beings finding a home in the other person. A home where you can be giddy and drunk without having touch a single drink.
It is no secret that I love the idea of queer platonic love. When I read this, I read it as queer platonic. I read it as beautifully strange, brotherly, romantic, and platonic all at once.
The chorus kind of develops this feeling and adds and aromantic layer to it: Baš ja Koji nisam verovao Da za nekim biću lud
Yes, me who didn’t believe I would be crazy about someone
I read this as a very much an aspec experience.
You may have gone most of your life feeling othered for not experiencing those feelings of romantic attraction the world around you constantly tell you that you should.
Then this person comes along. This person that is your haven, that you can fool around with and open up around. There’s something that seems different, seems honest and so it brings you that feeling of bliss I mentioned earlier. That feeling the world around you have tried to tell you exists for years, yet you never believed would happen to you.
You may have believed yourself to be broken or maybe the world around you too much for seemingly being crazy about love. But now in this moment of bliss, drunk without having drunk, you get it. You want to be with this person, do all the silly things the media tells you are romantic. Not because you are forced to but because it would mean spending more time with your person. And every little second you can spend with your person feels like a blessing.
That is my take on the song at least. Thank you for reading.

Kinda hurts a little when you've spent years creating a specific character in a specific universe for hardly anyone to see them, only for someone else to do the exact same concepts and get applauded for it. Did I just do it that badly or something
I remember when I first made all of my OCs supernatural in early 2022. I was one of the first people in [redacted] fandom who made it canon and talked openly about how my OC were vampires. And I got harassed for it endlessly. People were in my asks and dms telling me it was cringe and overpowered and lame, and that I was dumb to think anyone would care. Regardless of all of that, I kept them around and didn't stop talking about them. And then everyone else caught on and also made supernatural OCs because I helped to normalize it. Which isn't the problem, make as many supernatural OCs as you like, I'm not telling people to stop. That's not what bothers me (I have to add that disclaimer bc someone will undoubtedly try to get offended).
I think what upsets me is that it feels like I talk into a void sometimes and it sometimes feels like I don't have a place to share the things I'm proud of. I have an entire world that I made and this intertwined network of 10+ original characters and I just don't know where to talk about them or how to talk about them. I know we're "supposed to create for ourselves" and to "share it for good reasons", but it's really hard to put myself in that mindset. I don't do it for clout and I never will, I love my characters too much for that. Maybe I've just been doing a bad job of sharing anything about my world and characters, that is highly likely. I just can't help but remember the times I did share things and they went completely unnoticed
Just a little bit of acknowledgement would be nice. I think I'd be happy with that. Just a little bit of acknowledgement for the way I've had to fight to have my supernatural OCs exist in a cyberpunk setting in a hostile fandom. Just a little acknowledgement of the months of effort I put into my characters. And that would be all. Or maybe I'll learn how to just ignore everything and just keep doing as I have been. Putting my head and continuing on, savoring those small bits of genuine friendly interest when they come my way. That's good too

"Venti stans are low key annoying complaining about Venti not being the main focus of the Windblume festival."
First off we do not care. Second off ok???? Literally every character stan complains about their fave not getting enough screen time hop off.
It isn't even about screen time for me. It's about the fact that Venti hasn't truly felt like Venti in several updates. The last time he truly felt like himself was during Weinlesefest but even then he still didn't feel like the Venti we met all the way back during the first archon quest. And I don't wanna hear "hE hAd cHaRaCtEr dEvLoPmEnT." Cause no that isn't what happened, he regressed as a character. He's becoming fanon Venti in game. He gets used for alcohol jokes and Paimon calls him lazy then he dips. 🙄
"He was just in the Lantern Rite.." Shut Up. Shut Up. Shut all the fucking way up! He was terrible in LR and honestly if you cut Venti out of LR you basically have the same event. He did literally nothing of substance and he shouldn't have been there at all.
The first Windblume festival centered around Venti and showed us more of Venti being Mondstadt's archon. The second Windblume festival has barely anything to do with him. Excuse us if we're fucking disappointed, we have every right to be. Like I said literally every character's stans complain about them not getting enough screen time. Yeah sure if every Mondstadt event centered Venti it'd get old but the biggest problem is they decided to center a MONDSTADT EVENT around fucking SUMERU CHARACTERS. Fucking Collei gets more screen time than any Mondstadt character. Which wouldn't be a problem but this is a main Mondstadt event. Even though Venti was in LR 3 he wasn't a main focus he was a background character to the rest of the cast. Which is what Collei should've been cut out Tighnari and Cyno.
Mondstadt has so many underutilized characters and their screen time got spliced for the Sumeru fuckers who already have too much screen time. The entire last five updates have had Cyno in almost everything and Tighnari as well and while Collei has less screen time than them she has yet to be under used. If this was about Collei meeting up with Amber again they could've had that in a different event. If this was about Collei facing her anxiety it could've happened in a different event. They should've just had Sucrose helping Mondstadters cause guess what? You think this is going to be the last time a nation's event gets characters bombarding in? Hell no Fontaine is coming soon we're one hundred percent going to get nation festivals with random characters that have nothing to do with anything probably until the end of the game.
We'll see how happy ya'll are when your fave gets less screen time for some randos that have nothing to do with the nation you care about.

short agere fic, regressed tails and big brother sonic. after a scary fight against eggman, tails is struggling to cope
this is the first time ive written in a while and also its like 4am please be nice
Tumblr media
The workshop's quiet. The only thing that Sonic can hear is his own breathing, the occasional rustle of paper as he turns a page of the book he's reading. He's laid out on Tails’ couch, ignoring the shaking of his hands as he comes down from the adrenalin high.
The last fight against Eggman had been… rough. Too many close calls. They'd won, he and Tails, of course they did, but it had taken a lot out of both of them.
He hears the floorboards creak behind him, and he cranes his neck to see Tails standing at the base of the stairs - he must have finished with his shower. He seems smaller somehow, ears drooping down, shoulders hunched.Sonic smiles at him, gently, but before he can even open his mouth to ask if he's okay, Tails rushes towards him.
He suddenly has a lap full of fox, and he groans dramatically as Tails wiggles his way under Sonic’s arms, knocking his book away.
"Well, hey there, big guy," he greets, ignoring the way Tails' knee seems to be digging directly into his ribs in order to set the book down and properly wrap his arms around Tails. "What's up?"
Tails doesn't answer, just tucks his head under Sonic's chin, hiding his face. His tails wrap around his body as if he's trying to hide.
“Oh, buddy…” Sonic sighs, sitting up enough that he can lean against the arm rest, still holding Tails. “It's okay. Its all over now. We're both safe.”
Tails shudders. Sonic can feel him sniffle against his neck.
Sonic grabs the throw blanket thats draped on the back of the couch, tugging it down. It falls on both of them, and, making sure to not let go of Tails, wraps it around them both. Tails makes a small noise, but some of the tension leaves his shoulders, relaxing into Sonic's hold. He sniffs again, and Sonic sighs, dropping his cheek to rest against the top of Tails' head.
“Were you worried? About Eggman?”
A small nod.
“That's okay. It was a really scary fight. But its over now, and he's not gonna come back for a while. We did a good job at stopping him.”
Tails doesn't answer, but reaches out slowly, brushing his fingers across the cover of the book Sonic was reading. Sonic's confused for a second, but guesses - “do you want to read it?”
Tails nods again, before ducking his face back into Sonic's neck.
Sonic laughs quietly, grabbing the book and opening it. “I guess I'll read it out loud then? I'm kinda in the middle of it, but I'm pretty sure you've read this one before so that's okay.”
He reads, slow and steady, like he used to do for Tails back when they first met years ago. With each chapter, he can feel Tails relax more and more, until finally Sonic can hear soft little snores. He puts the book down, combing his fingers through Tails’ hair.
He's not sure why Tails gets like this, sometimes. It's like the kit just gets… smaller. It reminds Sonic of when they first met, when Tails was barely more than a toddler, and looked around as if the world was a thousand times bigger than him.
Sonic doesn't understand why, but it doesn't matter. Tails always eventually bounces back, and for now, Sonic is content to rock him back and forth as he sleeps.

idkidk it’s hard for me to sufficiently emphasise just how deeply plagiarism has affected me and the way I post. I think for anyone who has dealt with plagiarism or had their ideas lifted, there is a bit of a bruise that never really goes away? it can totally sap the joy out of not only writing but engaging in the community—having similar concepts is not a crime and can be a great way to connect with others. now it just makes me extremely wary and stirs up a lot of unpleasant feelings. I know it’s nice to have two cakes and you’ll all eat it happily but if the other person has used the exact same recipe I’m going to feel a bit shit. hell the other person might feel shit about it too idk 💀 this is poorly articulated ksksks

social anxiety can be so funny sometimes because i’ll be talking to someone and they’ll go offline for whatever reason and i’m always like ‘oh no did I say too much’ when I said probably one of the most average things i’ve ever said to that person
