the horny horny response to that tiktok makes up for the ppl in the notes having full on wah-wah meltdowns over the suggestion that tiktok's perceived Quality fully has to do with how you, individually, use it. I don't even have to say anything, bc these two tags already summarize it perfectly
#IT'S CALLED CURATING YOUR EXPERIENCE...#and yes for god's sake. stop hatewatching#it adapts so specifically that I started getting golden retrievers like Crazy in the months before I adopted Hugo#bc when I came across a video w one in it. I would watch it like 10 times#and it went oh I see you're looping this#people are so dramatic. someone tried to say that tiktok (unlike other social media) is promoting eating disorders#as if tumblr.com didn't LITERALLY INVENT THINSPO. pro-ana anybody? or are ppl too young to remember#you can still find ppl on tumblr promoting that NOW. tiktok isn't special.#also 'regularly' here is used like 'normal' and not 'frequently' if u could not tell jfc#sergle.txt

Hey I just finished Hilda season 3 and I am forever changed.
I joke that I could write a thesis about some media but I could really truly talk for hours about how fucking good Hilda is.
It’s core strength, which tears at my heart and soul so earnestly, is that it is not just a story about child adventurer, but equally a story about the MOTHER of a child adventurer and it’s just so beautiful. So impactful.
I think Johanna may be one of my favorite characters… ever. I think she is Absolutey Incredible.
Season three was just so amazing, the whole series is. I beg y’all to watch it because it’s so so good and deserves all the love it can get.
#hilda#hilda netflix#hilda season 3#Hilda is so so important to me and I think it always will be#I’ve had a fear for a long time that as I get older I will no longer see myself in adventure stories bc I’ll be too old#bc they’re all written for younger demographics#someone once said something on here about how young ppl are easier to write bc adults get… specific… as they get older#and that’s so true and I was scared I’d lose my sense of adventure in the stories I read#but Johanna proved me wrong and was everything I’ve ever needed#I see so much of myself in her and she means so much to me#I’m gonna be sobbing about this the rest of the night#that and nursing a headache bc I straight up was either hunched forward or actively on my feet jumping while watching this season#god it’s so fucking good gang#and what a send off#that final goodbye. it’s been a year and we’re back and the raven festival and back to sitting on that wall#god it’s beautiful#my ONLY critique is that they fucked up woodman. I’ll expound later but they fully messed up woodman.

I've seen multiple claims about how the rebellion functioned already and have seen many of those relate to Finnick's place in the rebellion.
I do not know where people exactly get takes like "If Katniss hadn't happened, the 75th would have had Finnick as the face of the rebellion" comes from, but I'd nonetheless like to speak to some of those misreads of this above interview quote.
It should be very clear to anyone who read the books to know that Katniss' actions in the 74th were both not predicted nor planned by the rebels. Katniss' point in the story is her randomness. The rebels did not secretly rig the District 12 reaping.
Equally, I don't see the 75th Hunger Games as pre-planned stages for the rebellion before Katniss, either. The fire that those events brought could only have happened with Katniss' actions a year prior. And, again, those were random.
The uprising and war that followed wouldn't have existed without Katniss. You cannot plan a rebellion.
And in that sense, I think a lot of people in much less egregious ways misread the Finnick mention in the above interview. Collins mentions Finnick on the side. He is unlikely to be the first nor the last in a row of tributes (whether they survived or not) that Plutarch might have seen potential in.
This isn't a "well, next to Katniss, Finnick would have led the rebellion". Finnick, very specifically, did not lead the rebellion. His case was one of many that did not work out. If Katniss hadn't come around, there wouldn't have been a rebellion.
Nor does Collins speak to Finnick being the best of the potential figureheads. I'd find it even much more likely that there were tributes that had much more potential and who were killed off by the Capitol because they saw them for that, too.
This isn't a dig at Finnick! I still think he was one of the likeliest candidates—but he was just that. A candidate. And a failed one at that. Plutarch saw hope in him, and then nothing came from it. Finnick's chance of leading a rebellion were born and died in the year of his victory.
And I do not think Finnick was the first—that role likely falls to Haymitch—or last of those "candidates" Plutarch saw.
For all we know, someone like Annie or Johanna—those who came after—might have had chances, too. Annie who was likely seen as a disgrace of a victor, who so openly showed to Panem how horrendous those Games were. And Johanna, who was the one playing the Capitol with her pre-Game persona. Especially reading Haymitch as the "first" could-have-been tribute to Plutarch, Johanna's playing against the rules is especially in line with what Plutarch might have looked for.
In fact, I'd even argue that all those potentials are those that ended up being in on the rebel plan.
Finnick's tragedy as a could-have-been lies in the quantity of could-have-beens. There were so many, like Finnick, that never caught the spirit of the nation. Unlike Finnick, many of them are likely long dead by the time Katniss comes around.
#thg#the hunger games#plutarch heavensbee#finnick odair#katniss everdeen#annie cresta#johanna mason#just gonna tag those i mentioned!#but i can def see Beetee and co. in there too#just that Plutarch only realised their potential in retrospect#young plutarch heavensbee binging the hunger games ahaha#if the spark had never come for katniss#she and peeta would have been recruited eventually#ALSO! this isnt @anyone specifically!!#ive just seen A LOT of those posts on reddit and here#and i suspect that a lot of ppl dont know the OG quote

also. amber gris as a character is really important to me as an appalachian.
not just her accent or the specific type of person justin based her off of but like
the feeling of losing someone to addiction/overdose while the government does nothing to help, just criminalizes and stigmatizes and makes things worse. which obviously happens in more places than just around here, but we have one of the highest rates of overdose death in the whole country and that whole set of scenes felt like they were really informed by growing up around that
#eliot posts#taz#taz ethersea#the adventure zone#amber gris#drugs cw#death mention#i've made posts like this and deleted them cuz i never feel like i'm wording it just right but just. god.#i'm lucky enough to have never been addicted or to have a best friend or immediate family member die from it#but i've lost or nearly lost extended family to it#and it's like.#my own accent isn't that thick and neither is my immediate family's or best friends'#but i've known ppl who talked like her.#specifically a man named larry who lived with us when we were real young#for some reason especially the way amber says ''come on'' just always reminds me so strongly of larry's voice. he said that phrase a lot#he was the one who taught me to tie my shoes even after my parents lost patience with me for being 'too old' to not understand#he drank excessively like my dad did but he never got mean with us kids#he came and went a few times over the years. the final time he left was when i was in late elementary#he died of an overdose when i was in high school. i didn't feel much of anything at the time.#it had been so long since i'd seen him but also i was at a point in my life where i'd've been numb to big emotions like that anyway#so my parents got drunk about it and i did nothing. just went to school and shit as usual.#i did not expect those feelings to get dredged up by a goddamned comedy dnd podcast#but they did it well i think#even though i had to pause it to take a breather multiple times. i enjoyed it overall. cathartic i guess?

deep in the kingdom hearts trenches..
#beep boop you want fries with that#kingdom hearts#vexen#lexaeus#riku#ansem#i wanna draw lexaeus more but HIS HAIR IS GD NIGHTMARE#on the topic of lexaeus ik he doesnt raise his voice often but i made him do it for the bit. can you forgive me#btw vexen owes like. 50000 munny.#ALSO. riku-ansem. i liek in kh1 when ansem acts liek a gd FREAK in his body like sir WHAT ArE YOU DOING.#he does the exact same mannerisms and everything liek wooahh i love the attention to detail in kh and kh1 specifically.#guys did you know it took ppl many years to realize you can freeze the stove in trickmasters fight to make it easier wooaaahh#unfortunately riku-ansem in kh2 doesnt really have riku’s mannerisms reflected in ansem’s body which. sads#that wouldve been cutes.#the only time i cant think of that happening was when riku appeared hooded in front of sora in the mulan world#teh little gesture he does. and sora is liek. that must be him the only guy who does that is riku#but liek. the gesture is cute and awesome but riku’s expressions dont show up on ansem’s face sadly.#if you think he did then you are probably thinking of the manga. or theres a scene i havent seen yet#bc my kh2 knowledge is sloppy (LOL DAYS REFERENCE) due to me not having played the game when i was young#i only wwatched a cutscene comp when i was little#and memes. lots of meme videos#also hey can we all look at riku’s deranged smile when he was going to hit sora with the keyblade of the heart#FRANKLY ADORABLE.

only one episode out and I might have to become the #1 Kristen Applebees defender
#i will post abg the rest of the badkids later cuz i love them but#everyone being agast and scandalized by kristen being an asshole to her god must not have watched the first few seasons?#really and truly did you expect her to change??#ppl were speculating her dumping/being on the rocks w cassandra since 2020 this is not new information this is just how she is#AND I FEEL BAD FOR CASSANDRA genuinely i do! of course she doesnt deserve to be ignored or mistreated after all shes been thru!#after all kristen promised her!!#but kristen applebees is like 16 maybe 17 years old a fucking teenager who was literally made into a holy figure by her home church#or the church of helio#all that pressure at a young age gave her irrevocable religious trauma#she crafted a god from scratch one specifically made for HER to worship and even that wasnt enough#shes super flawed!!! but i dont see the point in jumping her about it yk 🤷#thought bubbles#fantasy high#kristen applebees

sometimes i'll think abt a Fandom and wish it were bigger, and sometimes i'll read something from a fandom.. and wish it were smaller
#ppl seeing a confident black man : FINALLY! A PERFECT ANTAGONIST FOR OUR STORY!#THE CORRUPTOR!! THE ASSHOLE! MR KNOWS ALL!#i want to be bigger into football. i rlly do#but . omg. sometimes seeing just So Much . side eye shit is . like imagine my exhaustion#and this isnt me trying to be the behavior police like let ppl write but sometimes seeing such. Fun. patterns can be like#idk man it's sad like damn thats rlly how the world is and obvs i KNOW how it can be but it's real wack#real wack being reminded even in ur supposed happy place ur supposed lighthearted little break from the world#it's still not . idk. it's just not#oh the poor pale blond qb just a little anxious baby oh and his evil zany teammates trying to corrupt him oh theyre so terrible for my angel#:/#.. that is. a Grown. Man .#it's like replaying my 2nd grade teacher ******** me bcs i was a troublesome kid and it made her feel young and alive and bad again#like wtf am i corrupting you with maam? skibbity toliet ? leave me alone !!#listen. if it were smthing like 'x rlly likes tomatoes' when he actually likes idk carrots? i would not give a fuck. infact i prefer carrots#but bad patterns have smthing more to say bcs patterns in general have a story#it's more than 'he would not fucking say that' it's 'WHY tf are YOU making HIM say THAT of ALL people & THINGS???'#like i love having asshole characters in my stories too. and they can be poc ! NO ONE is a saint!#but having one just to fuel the only one u actually care abt? having their problems solely be for plot?? & making that one#a SPECIFIC kind of person ?? is kinda giving me 'u dont view x as a human which could mean you dont view x race as humans'#WHICH IS !! IT SUCKS ! THAT SUCKS!#i know i need to just suck it up and ignore it but thats like the life quote of being poc isnt it#ugh#it sucks

Something i rlly dislike abt Ganyu's characterization in fandom is how ppl see her being read as a stupid weak stereotype, and they just retaliate with another stereotype but from the other end of a spectrum.
She can be strong, competent, knowledgable and have very important role in the Liyue Qixing for years, but also be kind, humble, avoiding conflicts and NOT always knowing everything. those are not mutually exclusive!!! Yes she's old, no that doesn't mean she's now perfectly confident, knows everything and is good at everything. She's not some untouchable, divine being, better than everyone else. Stop removing humanity from her, when that's the whole point of her identity!!!
When i see overly confident, dominant, bitchy, smug, flirty Ganyu i start throwing rocks bc that's not Ganyu, begone impostor.
I just want Ganyu to be actually herself. Not a submissive secretary caricature. Not a dommy mommy caricature. JUST Ganyu, with all her complexity, strengths and weaknesses.
It's like treating Ganyu's personality as inherently weak and boring, so in the act of "justice for women" ppl just remove it and replace with a caricature of a strong woman. It's driving me insane when those "women defenders" are just slandering them, without even thinking abt it. If someone thinks a woman being quiet, kind, humble, avoiding conflict etc. is inherently "misogynistic" and needs those traits to be completely removed and replaced, then they just hate women
#anyways this is my opinion and i feel like an alien in this fandom sometimes lol#i picked ganyu specifically bc obviously she's my fav so i notice it the most here but this is a bigger problem in fandom i think#i'm literally going insane whenever i see this kinda behavior#everytime ppl criticise hoyo for writing/treating women badly they somehow pick the worst arguments#and don't mention how fandom perpetuates shitty stereotypes#they pick favorites instead of making a point. they still think that certain female characters like keqing and ganyu are boring#bc they refuse to acknowledge that those characters have a lot to them but it's just NOT PROPERLY SHOWED. THATS THE ACTUAL DAMN PROBLEM#they infantilize short women and act like it's all just hoyo's fault for not making them tall. this is insane. this is fucking insane#we're playing anime style video game. everyone is gonna look extra young no matter what!! oh my god!!#rant

my major problem with fanon Hob is that he's treated as universal. which a) is impossible, nothing is actually universal, there is no singular Human Experience, and b) the text (show and comix) doesn't consider him a universal. he's an anomaly in his irrepressible desire to live. he's a foil for Dream. he's one of an unspecified number of immortals who occasionally cross paths with the Endless. he's not an Everyman, he's very much the product of the world around him (which changes with time but also doesn't - a white man in an established British empire holds a certain degree of power/liberty across centuries). why does whiteness = universality? why does whiteness = Human?
#sandman#fandom discourse#this is the major difference i notice between ppl's canons around hob vs canons around the corinthian#the corinthian - esp. as played by bhol - is a horror trope#and the americana signifiers locate him in a specific spacetime even if he's older than that#but mostly ppl pick up on the corinthian's ''thingness''#he's literally not human so there's less room to claim him as representative#i think there's possible parallels between coco and hob#(and then a Major Difference in how they're treated by Dream - for obvious reasons)#but also...#there's so many other human characters who are not afforded the same grace that fandom extends to hob#rose walker; lyta hall; jo constantine; unity kincaid#mostly they're women! and a lot of them aren't white#but rose IS supposed to be the every(wo)man trope#she IS supposed to be something of an audience insert bc she's encountering#the dreaming and the Fates and the rules around the Endless#along with the reader/viewer#why is the Black young woman not someone that fans identify with?#i'll give you three guesses...

Tbh the more darkfic I read and write the less seriously I can take discourse/fan wank about how "problematic" something is. Guarantee that for any oh so "fucked up" piece of media out there, fans could and have written worse. Sometimes the fans who have written worse are the ones doing the discoursing and that's the silliest of all.
#discourse#this isnt about someone being racist or something it's more like#'omg this show has an abusive romanticized relationship!'#yeah and i know a million fans who habe written those for free. for fun. on their own time#like idk i'm just not impressed any more esp when i see dark content creators being the ones to discourse#like oh really? so it's okay for you and your friends specifically to write fucked up stuff#but when someone else writes soemthing fucked up that you dont like suddenly the freak label comes out#like idk man i do still have my things where i think ppl who write them are repugnant#but that doesnt mean i go bashing them or supporting censorship or whatever#because I AM ALSO A FREAK so like if i tried to criticize ppl for making something i see is problematic#it's literally a pot/kettle thing#also fandom and young peoples standards for fucked up are like on the floor lmao

i think i could write a really good essay on the danger days fandom and what it functions as for those who engage (myself included). i think i can explain exactly why certain people who are into certain other things are drawn to it, and why it so often devolves into just Identity Category Soup™ instead of deeper worldbuilding or storytelling. And also why people get something out of that soup.
The story doesn't really exist (and what does kinda sucks) but I think, the way fandom ends up with it, it's ultimately about regaining control and achieving small-scale victories in the midst of a larger, obviously unwinnable conflict. It's escapist fantasy that boils down impossible-scale real world issues (corruption, bigotry, capitalism, rigid social roles) into ones you can directly interact and engage with. A world so small that you can shout over those in power. A world so small that you can just... opt out of it.
Truthfully, IRL there is nowhere you can go to get away from, say, gender roles... but in DD world you can say "fuck that, I'm moving to my alternative society which not only exists, but thrives" and then do it. I do NOT think gerard intended it this way specifically (you can read it as being about lots of things and also he's said as much) but yes of course becoming a killjoy is a perfect allegory for transition.
#when i was rlly into DD id get so annoyed at the bright fun poppy version people did where it's not a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland#but i think i get it a bit more now. its not for me but it's the same thing i like about it. just zoomed in and less realism#(dd fandom also skews YOUNG i think)#i always preferred a version where the kjs know theyre doomed to fail and their movement will fizzle out but goddamn theyll try anyway#and build a life that's worth living in the meantime <3#but anyway yeah thats why killjoy fandom is so Gender-y... it's a story about social nonconformity and being punished for it and thats-#a specific sort of nonconformity that mcr fandom is already keen on#(obviously it's also a fantasy about eating pizza and rebelling against authority with your buddies lol but i think its deeper for many ppl
