The fact that Kaz Brekker is excellent at disguises implies that, in his spare time, he tries on costumes and practices characters in the mirror.

Anyway I ❤️ characters who experience such monstrous amounts of trauma in such short spans of time that they genuinely don't realize they were traumatized by it. They had to deal with so much shit at once that after its done, it doesn't even occur to them how much it left an impact. Their actions are clearly influenced by the events, they have the scars to prove it all, but they're just SO focused on protecting the little else they have left that they don't even care to notice. Something about having to be the strong resilient one for those who are hurting and can't sefend themselves, all the while ignoring your own gaping wounds, to ensure they don't suffer as you once did... a shield that protects from the incoming blow, unaware of its dents and rotting wood...a sword that's been broken yet still swings with only the desire to keep its aggressors away from their wielder.... good good shit

i cannot stand how dickish this community for a children's game has gotten. like thinking that bullying new players away from the game for having a "skill issue" before they actually get the chance to develop their skills and sending people death threats bc of the splatfest team they chose is okay is wild as fuck.
(i was silently on team frye and the amount of harassment towards innocent people on team shiver from fellow "hollier than thou" teammates is and forever will be the most buckwild shit ive seen from this community. BUT that's not to say everyone on team shiver were total saints either, especially after results came in.)
like it's legit so hard to not just leave this community altogether with how toxic everyone has gotten over literal pixels on a screen. it's sad.

being aroace in fandom spaces is kinda hard, actually.
(a note before i continue: this is based mainly on my experience in the Genshin Impact fandom.. on places that aren’t Tumblr. of course, fandom is diverse, and if you experienced any of this.. yeahhhh…)
for a lot of fandoms, the main grip people have on the media produced is around the characters, rather than the world.
people will see themselves in these fictional people, placing them in situations and making up little ideas on things not really shared.
and with queer people, that leads to a lot of headcanons of being, well, queer.
and eventually, fandom will lead to pairings. people will put two characters together, whether it be on personality, appearance, story, or a myriad of other things.
and when a ship gets popular, mainstream even, people are very quick to defend it.
how does this relate to being aroace? because people will defend their favorites against anything that might suggest the person is against their pairing.
in a few fandoms, i’ve seen people call aroace an excuse to not ship people. that’s right: some people in fandom see aroace headcanons a way to call them wrong. characters being called aroace will have angry fans raving on about how you’re “erasing rep” or comparing you to people who put characters in straight pairings (which is another thing itself). i’ve seen people, allo people, call popular characters aroace so others won’t get mad for not liking a rarepair. a character could blatantly say (or their story could say), they don’t make close relationships, and people would twist that away from the aromantic and asexual spectrum (aromantic specifically). and that doesn’t even touch on how a lot of allo fandom-goers don’t even acknowledge identities such as aplatonic—ones that seem strange or even alien to them.
and that doesn’t even include canon a-spec characters. or characters where asexual/aromantic is a commonly accepted headcanon.
allos that ship these characters will, without fail, say that “asexual and aromantic is a spectrum!”. now, i’m not saying it’s not true, because it is. but that point isn’t being thought about, especially in the way these relationships are portrayed. ace-spec and aro-spec relationships (based on the experiences of others i’ve seen, here and elsewhere) are inherently different than two allo people. being aro/ace (or aspec in general, really) makes you different. how the individual aligns with romance/sex/love in general is different, but the difference is something that a lot of allo people don’t seem to recognize.
anyway i’m just mad my identity is often seen as an “excuse” to allo people
(note 2: if you can guess which genshin ship i’m talking about you get a virtual high five)
(note 3: this is going up on valentine’s day [in my time at least lmao] specifically because i feel like it’s important to take note of this while going through fandom. maybe next time you can spot it and point out how harmful it is :p)

Two bros 1 inch apart because one of them is doomed by the narrative~
The couch scene is drilled into my brain, so I drew a better couch scene.
Also, no one talks about these looks and that's a crime.

Love when people go; "This character is an irredeemable monster and if you like them you’re an apologist!"
And the character in question is fourteen years old.

The narrative didn't doom me, it just ditched me
Warning: There will be mentions of upsetting content like sexual abuse, bullying, xenophobia and manipulation. It won't get graphic and it won't be discussed in-depth but it will be mentioned.
I've been thinking a lot about my attachment to Jeyne Poole and I think I cracked the code or at least I’m cracking the code.
So, requirements to become a "The narrative didn't doom me, it just ditched me" character:
Involve some sort of metanarrative irony, can be intentional or accidental
Being archetypal to a secondary or tertiary character, but written with depth or relevance to the story
Becoming obsolete. Be it by an adaptation, the narrative, or the fandom's perception. This person doesn't matter.
I listed four examples under the readmore
Wakaba Shinohara
(look at me, a non-practicing pseudo-intellectual talking about RGU)
Mother of all mothers! She is the blueprint!
She is the only secondary character who doesn’t appear on the opening of the show. She is average looking to the point you could pass her as a background character compared to all the other prominent characters in the story, as a student she is average, she has no special abilities or talents and the nicest and most personal compliment she gets is Utena (Wakaba's best friend, but not a feeling that is reciprocated) telling her she'd make a good housewife.
She has an entire episode dedicated to the Angst of being a satellite character and even after that episode which shows the tragedy of her story being a sideline, she remains in that sideline.
Wakaba's only sense of self value comes from her being close to the people the narrative deems as more special and since Utena has been distancing herself a little from her because she is growing closer to Anthy, being suddenly able to keep bad boy renegade (actually cringe fail loser) Saionji dependant on her transforms her into a protagonist. Suddenly she is the one being called pretty by Utena, she is getting better grades, she is being above average. She has something that makes her special!
The saddest thing is that she had already been pivotal to Utena's narrative development. During episode 12 she is the one who triggers Utena into reclaiming her Princehood and duelling Touga, but she is not capable of seeing that as something she can call her own.
And then during the masterpiece that is "Wakaba Flourishing" we see her confronting those insecurities and feelings of inferiority once she realises Saionji will leave her too and discard her!
She duels Utena, intends to kill Anthy, who se believes is the one behind her losing Utena and Saionji's attentions, loses to the protagonist who loves her, but not enough to make her become special too...and then....
Wakaba goes back to her dorm room, now empty of Saionji who no longer needs to live at her place, and we viewers are destroyed.
She returns to her cheery, poppy, apparently happy-go-lucky self, but we know what lurks inside her.
It's funny because the narrative likes playing with her. On the one hand she is special! She is the one who gets Utena out of her depression in episode 12 and she is the one who saves Utena & Anthy at their escape in the movie. But then again, there is only one episode centred on her, right? And that episode ends once Saionji leaves her. She loses the spotlight as soon as a more relevant character distances themselves from her.
The fact she hasn't appeared in any of the post-show/movie mangas, while other show-only characters have, is heartbreaking and hilarious.
Sorry Wakaba, you are lovely but you don't make the cut, go listen to some Penelope Scott, her lyrics are a bit curt, but still, it couldn't hurt.
Heather Matarazzo in her iconic role as Dawn Wiener
Beloved...
Dawn Wiener is the main character of Todd Solondz “Welcome to the Dollhouse”, although if compared to most coming-of-age protagonists, she is quite depressing.
At school she is bullied, at home she is neglected, she has no friends, talents, or self esteem and the few times she stands up for herself things backfire. She is not always loveable either. Dawn feels dangerously envious to her little sister Missy, who is everything Dawn is not; beloved and beautiful.
As we see her grow up in the movie, we come to the realisation that, it doesn’t matter how much she tries, things won’t get better for her.
Dawn Wiener ends her introduction movie as a perpetual loser who has somewhat decided to conform to her place as an underdog who will never find acceptance among her family or peers, partially because of her looks, which are seen by most as ugly. It's more one of the first scenes in the movie has a young girl bullying Dawn in the bathroom and when Dawns asks her why, the girls responds "Because you are ugly."
In the spin off movie "Palindromes" it is revealed that her adulthood wasn't much more different. She went to college, gained weight and acne and killed herself after becoming pregnant by date rape.
The entire motif of Solondz cinema can be explained within the lines spoken by one of his characters at the end of the movie:
"No one ever changes. They think that they do, but they don't. If you are the depressed type now, that's the way you'll always be. If you're the mindless happy type now, that's the way you'll be when you grow up."
Surprisingly in another spin-off of "Welcome to the Dollhouse", "Wiener Dog", Dawn finds a happy ending. She has a stable and enjoyable job as a veterinary and is rekindling a relationship with her love interest from "Welcome to the Dollhouse", Brandon. Their last scene shows them happily talking about their future while holding hands.
So it probably sounds weird whenever I say this is a much sadder and depressing ending than the one where she commits suicide.
And I stand by that, because there is a fundamental change in "Wiener Dog".
Dawn's actress, Heather Matarazzo, has been recast by a more conventional-looking actress who is much more fitting into the female ideas of beauty Dawn was told she could never become. If anything, her new actress looks more similar to Dawn's little sister.
The fact that Matarazzo wasn't informed of this, and only came to find out that her most iconic character was now being portrayed by conventionally attractive and successful Greta Gerwig through Twitter, while she was struggling to find roles that actually allowed her to act instead of just being cast as a insulting comedic archetype, like the abhorrent admirer, is the final gut punch. She felt deeply hurt.
Also, just wanna add, the entire movie (Welcome to the Dollhouse) is on YouTube for free but it’s a VERY upsetting movie. It’s hyperbolic in its dark comedy without being edgy, and it is uncomfortable because somehow it still manages to be cruelly realistic in its themes of bullying and abuse. I’ve only watched it two times and, now that my depression has gotten stronger than ever, I sure won’t watch it again.
Jeyne Poole
��� A terrible mistaaaaaaake was made... ♫ I love that song for her because it fits her in and outside the story.
On a meta-level, I think she is the most tragic because it's accidental. The two former examples were written and portrayed with the intention of making us feel their tragedy. This is not poor Jeyne Poole's case. I genuinely get anxious when thinking about her or how she is treated by fandom because her case is real. She is one of those things that make me worry Solondz might be right in his cynical views of the world.
She is a book character so I can't put pictures of her without stealing art but also this entire thing is about characters being treated like shit by the narrative in order to drive a point, so hahah Jeyne! You don't get a picture! (But you get links because I love some people's art (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) and I'd feel too bad about being mean to her)
The show played a lot with my hopes involving her. She appears in one episode only and has no lines. Later on she is mentioned by name by Sansa Stark, a main/POV character who is a friend of hers and who she considers to be more beautiful. After that we never hear of her again.
This could have worked, had the show stayed loyal to the source material.
In the fifth book of the series, it is revealed to the readers that she is being passed off as the daughter of an important House, Arya Stark, so she can marry the future lord Paramount who is a sadistic monster. Her new husband abuses her terribly and while there are a few political factions opposing her husband, who intend on liberating her, this is only because they think she is Arya Stark, since no one would care for her misfortune if they knew who she truly is.
Jeyne Poole, a character who is deemed as "not important of risking your life for" gets someone to risk his life and, more importantly, his skin in order to save her! Not Arya, Jeyne! Theon, former childhood co-habitant now turned into co-victim co-perpetrator, saves her. The show adaptation decided she was not important enough to appear in the story, and replaced her with Sansa Stark, a main character the audience already felt attached to, who was from a nobler house and considered to be more beautiful. Jeyne's plot was given to the girl she sees herself as inferior to in the books. Her plot was deemed important, her impact was deemed important, but Jeyne herself was not.
She is tragic, there is a reason she is here too, but at least in the story she still has a chance at happiness. In the fandom though...yeah, she lost the war, even worst there wasn't a war. Look at the number of fanworks tagged as ASOIAF involving the Sansa-Theon-Ramsay constellation, compare it to the number of fanworks tagged as ASOIAF involving the Jeyne-Theon-Ramsay constellation and you'll find evidence to that. It gets even funnier when the show constellation and plot line stays intact in fanfics, but she is still added in order to transform her back into Sansa's token best friend with no political relevance and no connection to Theon or Ramsay.
The books' author, GRRM, spoke about being upset by the change done on the show, but in truth I don't have many hopes for Jeyne Poole and considering how he is a slow writer and I am very ill person, I doubt I'll get to witness Jeyne P managing to escape this list.
Sorry Jeyne, you weren't doomed, just ditched. Sucks to be you I guess.
Areida
The least tragic in story and development, but still someone who (sadly) deserves to be here.
She is a book character and given how this book doesn't have much of a fandom there isn't any official art of her, but I like these: (1) (2)
Similarly to Jeyne, she suffered in the adaptation, but then again, who doesn't?
Her book counterpart was given a more in depth characterisation. She was an immigrant, came from a poor background, spoke with a strong accent and was described in a manner resembling someone of African ancestry (dark skin, box braids). In the movie it is implied she might be from another country or ethnia, she is played by an Indian actress, but her accent is gone, her hair is straight and we don't get any characterisation or background on her. Her friendship with Ella is downplayed and Ella only starts her quest after being forced to tell her she can't be friends with her anymore and making a xenophobic comment. In the book, Ella parts on her quest so as not to have to obey and break their friendship and that conversation doesn't take place. In the books, Areida's pain matters and it is Ella's unwillingness to hurt her that sends her to search for Lucinda, the fairy who gave her the gift of obedience, so she can remove the curse and won't be forced to ruin her friendship with Areida and cause her more distress. She runs away from finishing school before she can break Areida's heart. And even after their separation, Ella still thinks of Areida with an endearing fondness and tells her future love interest, Prince Char, about her.
In the movie, there is an emphasis in showing Ella's pain and their reconciliation isn't shown, but we are supposed to assume they did have a reconciliation because Areida is seen at Ella and Char's wedding. Areida is reduced to become an unconditional sidekick whose feelings aren't important in the grand scheme of things. We don't see her break down crying after hearing her supposed best friend make a xenophobic comment about her, not how lonely she must have felt afterwards, nor how their conversation once reunited went. She is only Ella's friend, not her own character.
The irony, Ella's quest being triggered by Areida's feelings is turned into Ella's quest being triggered by Ella's feelings because neither the audience, nor the narrative, nor the people making the movie care about Areida's feelings, something the novel has been trying to portray as wrong multiple times.
The adaptation of Ella Enchanted (which I only watched two days ago because of curiosity and oh god why did they whitewash Char??? WHY IS LUCINDA A RACIAL STEREOTYPE???? No wonder my parents didn't let me watch Disney movies! they suck!) was so different from the book that talking about them as one almost feels wrong. Had they gone to claim the book was the inspiration behind this movie, that would have been alright, but as an adaptation, it's quite horrendous. I can understand why they made the changes they made, but given how the movie has overshadowed the book in popular culture, and thus it is Movie!Areida who people might remember, I still have to let her stay here.
So, yeah...I think this is it. It's the irony and the pain behind the irony. Yeah...
#anthy himemiya is kind of the anti-character to this because she was doomed by the narrative until SHE DITCHED THE NARRATIVE#amazing I love that for her#Vale hasn't read Ella Enchanted and Tânia doesn't like Solondz (honestly good call. based)#So I don’t know a single person who knows all these characters so this is kind of pointless#but sometimes this type of stuff is at the very least distracting#speaking#fandom related#the narrative didn't doom me it just ditched me#Wakaba shinohara#revolutionary girl utena#welcome to the dollhouse#todd solondz#jeyne poole#asoiaf#Ella enchanted#Gail Carson levine#literature#Spotify

Friendly reminder: Convention season
Hey guys, it's almost convention season! You know what that means!
VOICE ACTORS! MANGA AUTHORS! ARTISTS! YAY!!
Let's remember some useful rules! We want to have fun, not be rabid!
~Remember!~
If you see your favourite artist or voice actor:
Politely greet them (if they're not busy!)
Gushing in admiration should be kept safe for work and respectful!
DO NOT PUSH HEADCANONS OR NSFW STUFF ON THEM! That's cringey! You will make people physically cringe! Do you really want people to remember you as that person forever?!
RULE #1: RESPECT! If what you're doing would make you cringe to receive it, DON'T DO IT.
2. If you see a popular fanartist ANYWHERE (yes that means online too):
Again, BE NICE. If you have nothing good to say, don't say it.
Feeling jealous? It's not an art competition! Back out of the site and do something else.
It's not about whose cake is better for most people, it's the fact that we now have two cakes to eat, and we ALWAYS want more cake!
3. And please, for all that's good, DO. NOT. START. DRAMA.
All you people are online. We will likely never meet in real life. Why does this matter? Nobody else cares from your side of the screen except you! It's not worth it!
If someone else has started drama, the best thing you can do is to disengage. Trying to be a hero has lately only been proven to make the drama worse, and just as it was 10 years ago, it doesn't stop until everyone ignores the fire starter or a mod bans them.
So! Don't be rabid and cringey, and have fun out there!
:)
#online etiquette#convention etiquette#don't be rude fam#fandom related#I'm older in the fandom so I guess I have to continue the tradition now
