Tumblr and TikTok show me so much Hazbin Hotel fan content and gosh… do I hate the word redesign.

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

could you do me a favor and tag whenever there are ocs in your reblogs? thank you very much

I've so far didn't see much of it on your blog but I just noticed it and I would appreciate it very much.

I can try, but anon, I don't always know what's an OC and what is a canon character in the vast world of Pokémon that I've just never seen before.

Do like minor OCs to fill in gaps in fics count? What about characters who are truly blank slates, like some of the depot agents?

I can try and tag when there's like major OCs but when it comes to minor characters that's where I'm not gonna split hairs.

I guess the tags will be #others ocs and less commonly #my ocs

ninjago fandom when ppl stop mischaracterising wu as a one note shitty old guy and realise hes a complex character with just as much of his own trauma as everyone else in the show

fluke pusit & mike chinnarat leaving gmmtv is making me feel some type of way 🙃

i need a w*hb mutual or smthn but god its hell trying to navigate eroge fandom its worse than regular ones and it does not help that from looking at in game comments a v big part of the fanbase is transphobic, homophobic (somehow), and some of the kinks are. er.

💧

sometimes i mayhaps would like a boyfriend

i don’t get how people can complain about the writing “doing Martha dirty” when that same writing gives her an ending that addresses her treatement over the course of the season, allows her to finally put her to foot down, to establish her self-worth as an individual and to air out her grievances, and gives her the most respectful and satisfying exit from the TARDIS we’d yet seen in the show . like it’s one thing to dislike the direction the writing team took with her arc and to criticise it (perfectly fine) and another to somehow miss it entirely lmao . the ‘martha feels out of place, second best, and like a rebound’ is an intentional piece of writing that gets resolved by the end of the season . like that wasn’t smth they threw in for shits and giggles, it had in-story repercussions

I am so curious to see some data on this. I feel like a couple years ago it was sort of an unwritten rule to send one upstream if you reblogged the post, but these days that doesn't seem to be the case anymore? I also feel like I see a lot more posts bemoaning how barren tumblr fandom feels lately, with creators feeling like their posts get no traction and communities feeling isolated.

Please spread this, I want to see whats up

Okay, for starters I fully accept the option that I am, in fact, ignorant (ignoring the connotation of the word. I suppose calling myself oblivious would be more accurate if we're not ignoring connotation) of a lot of topics. I don't particularly enjoy doing research and the random tidbits of knowledge I have are from academic necessity, friends, and things I can say to make people who creep me out get slightly traumatized so they'll leave me alone.

Should I put research towards things that matter, as well as social issues I aspire to learn? Absolutely. But the problem is building up the motivation to do so. And I get fed little things here and there, which usually satisfy my dulled down sense of curiosity.

One of those things is whitewashing within Fandom.

I understand it in art, when you take a naturally different race of a character and draw them with more Caucasian features. I understand how that's gross and invested in a sense of bigotry. I'm not oblivious to that, thankfully.

But when a character has no Canon appearance, and it's entirely left up to interpretation, is whitewashing possible?

Diving into the psychological aspect of it, someone's brain is more likely to view characters that don't have a canon appearance as a member of their own race, or a race they spent a majority of their childhood around. It's part of that whole social species thing. It's in the same ballpark of why serial killers rarely choose targets outside of their own race. (Other things too, but I'm not trying to be triggering, just trying to educate myself)

Now, it's completely possible to envision a character as a race you didn't grow up around, or you're a part of. And sometimes that's how it works, you just get a feel for something and envision it in that way. (Hence why human brains are evolved. We've evolved to that point)

But, back to my main question, is it possible to whitewash a character that has no Canon race?

We got a new manager at work and like she seems fine, personality wise. But I spent all day trying to explain stuff and getting interrupted half way through with how we were now going to do X thing the way she wants to do it and every time I was like... Can you at least finish your training shifts before you implement changes to how this whole thing has worked since I got here? Just rubbed me the wrong way professionally because like I get she was a manager of the same department as mine at another store, but please learn how this store works and then do whatever, thank you ☠️☠️☠️

there's a moment in the second hobbit film, a flashback, where thorin's sitting down in the prancing pony inn and going straight for the food and watching as a human dude just picks up a hobbit and sets him on a barstool, right?

it's a moment that looks habitual. familiar. the human says "master saddle," the hobbit seems comfortable with it. thorin doesn't even visibly react much. but I love the thought of him quietly in the back of his mind thinking "if anyone tries that with me, by my grandfather's blood they will get stabbed," and also "I will never find it in me to respect a hobbit."

Broooooo Control was so good. I haven't played the DLC yet but damn even just the main game is hella fun and cool and the story is great too.

honestly getting kinda attached to my wugtrio. i dont really care abt the diglett line, i picked up wiglett bc i feel bad not having a water type, but wugtrio is so goofy and that endears me to it

hm. hmm
