see, i was going to make a genuine (albeit still jokey) one of these, but I think this is way funnier.

I keep putting too much effort into shitpost art but I honestly have no regrets-

Alternate and possibly more accurate version under the cut /hj

what's your opinion on fanfics about dnp? (more in a way of do you think that it's crossing boundaries and/or being parasocial)

i'm of the same mind of dnp in that phanfic is fucking incredible. it's an important and valid way to express yourself, as well as a building block of our community. i don't think it's crossing boundaries, as it's fiction. i don't see it as parasocial either--you're writing for you and others like you. most people don't want dnp reading their fics, it's not for them in a sense, it's for us.

i think dnp are extremely aware of fanfic and its value and place in community. they've always encouraged it, appreciated the support, and given us space about it. they're not ones to make videos about it and mock fans for it (which happened to some of our lovely fic writers here writing for other yt fandoms, and i'm so sorry about it). dnp are fandom culture people. they've written fic themselves! and published it in their book!

the word parasocial has been twisted lately to imply any fan support is unnatural and should be shamed, which is complete fucking bullshit. making art is always important and valued. and it is necessary for your existence as a human, but also for the thing you're a fan of to thrive.

the parasocial side comes in once you start believing you know this person. and that you're their real friend. when in reality, they do not know you specifically, and you are not their friend, you are an audience member.

so a parasocial relationship only occurs when people start crossing boundaries (digging for not publicly available information, contacting people in their personal life, showing up to their house, etc). which, is absolutely nowhere close to real fan behaviour.

tl;dr: phanfic is great, i love you fic writers, parasociality is a problem but not one that we have

couple ah sillies for the soul

along with getting me into dungeon meshi, you also encouraged me to purchase and play disco elysium. My life has been ruined by YOUR hyperfixations and I’m demanding compensation for how much of my time has been consumed by quality content,, I’ll see you in court.

*our* hyperfixations

I realize I’m a fresh blood of roughly half a year to guilty gear but I need to speak my truth.

Arthur Conan Doyle: what if there was a detective and he was super mysterious and badass and like the smartest man alive but of course was misunderstood and an outcast but in a cool way.

Agatha Christie: what if there was a detective but he was a tiny little fancy man and no one ever took him seriously no matter what he does because of white on white racism. and he's got a silly mustache.

Posted onto my insta a week ago. This is a stupid ship meme that took like a week to make lmao.

i think its kind of funny how, because some operators have base restoring skills alongside their other facility based skills, you end up just cycling the same ops between their jobs and the dormitories. frostleaf kroos and skadi (haunted by gladiia) all engaged in parallel play for several hours printing exp records and now theyll keep parallel playing in the dormitory. midnight and catapult spent an entire shift eating gummys cooking and shes already preparing the grill in bed for them. a bunch of the control room ops have spent days in there stuck with kaltsit listening to hours upon hours of cat text and when they finally turn in for the day guess who the fuck is waiting for them, holding hands with amiya and keeping them trapped once more.

I bought Kingdom Hearts III as a lil treat for myself and was inspired to make this Kingdom Hearts cardigan.

Pattern by me and it shows.. The graph really needs some more work so I might make another one in the future but we'll see 💛

my problem with anduin's new look isn't the grime or the hair or the beard, i agree it makes sense for him to have those, it's that it has zero connection to his old cinematics model 😭😭 like..... if you compare the two carefully his eyebrows are completely different, his cheeks are less pronounced, his button nose is gone, his hair is darker for no reason etc. idk he used to have a more stylized and unique look to him and now he just looks like every male action protagonist ever

I don't know how to explain this to you and I don't want to be mean about this, I'm trying really hard not to come off that way, but both time and stress ages a person. Anduin was absent for three years having horrific PTSD from when he was dominated and was roughing it on his own. Eyebrows grow, he's probably dehydrated from being in a desert wasteland, he never even had a button nose to begin with, and hair darkens naturally overtime.

The complaint that he looks like "every male action protagonist ever" is so bizarre to me, and one said by a lot of people. As it turns out, white boys tend to grow up and look like white men, and when the bar for looking like a white man is "short hair and a beard," you trip over that easily.

Did you expect him to never age at all ever? Or is this a case of you guys being trapped in your "progressive" gender stereotypes that the moment a guy that isn't traditionally masculine doesn't shave for a week it means he's a completely different person now?
