[Image Description: Two women dressed as Vivian from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Melia Antiqua from Xenoblade Chronicles. The woman on the left has light skin, short curly aqua green hair, and round glasses with nearly opaque spiral lenses. She is wearing a magenta and white striped hat, a long violet dress, white gloves, and violet boots with magenta soles. She is pointing at the other woman's costume and smiling. The woman on the right has light skin, shoulder-length violet hair, and green eyes. She is wearing a pink and blue headdress with beige wings attached, an intricate pink and white cloak, a blue and white dress, a black shirt and shorts, white elbow-length gloves with blue and purple cuffs, and white boots with blue and purple cuffs and black soles. She is holding a metal staff with the "business end" shaped roughly like the head of a shovel or spade. She is looking back at the other woman and smiling as well. End ID.]

More Halloween costumes! I imagine this Halloween event takes place after the two Harrodsfield ladies have worked through their issues, hence why they're being friendly here hehe. Of course for Melia I had to go with...well, Melia, her accidental namesake. (seriously, my Melia was originally going to be named Ashley before I realized Melia was a name that'd been used in real-world contexts and basically had the same origin as Ashley while sounding much cooler) And I'm gonna be real honest, this was probably not the best idea for my workload. Puppy had sooooo much frustration getting that done in a timely manner. Good thing I didn't do for Violetta what I did for Laura last time, mostly because her accidental visual inspiration is more electric-themed than ghost-themed and I'd already done a Xenoblade 2 character with Holly's costume, so with this interpretation of Vivian being so simple I was able to focus more of my energy on the way more detailed outfit XD

(and yeah, I know Melia Antiqua's default outfit has long black socks instead of black shorts, but by the time I realized I'd misinterpreted my sketch while linking it was too late and tbh I think Melia Kearney would prefer to wear shorts under a dress that short anyway)

I can’t imagine how dehumanizing it must be to have fans believe they know some “truth” about you when they don’t actually know you as a person at all. And I’m with you - it’s not the speculation like eh, he prob touched some guy’s dick once or whatever, it’s the absolute fanaticism that you hold some special knowledge about a person or couple and their life. It does become like religion with looking for signs and meaning and some end event (coming out or the rapture lol). I also think people that fall victim to the conspiracies might be super lonely and somewhat isolated? So this becomes something they can connect to other people about - it’s really sad for everyone involved imo. Obviously the “leaders” who dox other fans and harass celebs are evil but the average kaylor or Larry is prob pitiable in some ways.

I like the use of the word “dehumanizing” here because I think a lot of people need to just remember celebs are people. One of the reasons I’m kinda compassionate towards Kaylors/Larrys (the regular weird kind, not the ringleaders) is a lot of them are closeted themselves and I think it’s comforting for them to know their fave celeb/s are just like them. Which I get but like… it’s dehumanizing as fuck. If these people WERE forcibly closeted (they’re not lol - they’re fine), the WORST thing anyone could do ever would be try forcibly out them? How would that help them or gay people anywhere??

I’ve also said before like analyzing pics for gayness is SO homophobic. I’ve been really into Ashley Gutermuth lately because minus the ra ra military stuff which I’m morally opposed to, I find her extremely funny - she looks gay as fuck, she’s not (I mean she might be bi idk her life but she’s very monogamously married to a man and finds those comments occasionally flattering and often funny). It’s fine for Ashley because she’s clearly comfy enough in her identity to like… be how she is. But if someone were being like her and trying to hide her sexuality, how would commenting that help her or anyone?? Idk guys sexuality doesn’t look a certain way and it’s complicated and like people mess around on all sides of the equation and just like idk let people vibe.
