Hi! I really enjoy your blog (sometimes I lurk) and I really like your analyses and some of your takes! I was gonna send this via anon because I’m afraid to cause troubles but u dont have it availible, but as i see you do like some ships besides freela, but how do u put it, have u ever considered zapp/fry dynamic?? I know the show doesnt explore it a lot (only the comics and a what if with neutopia) it doesnt have to be romantic tho, just I wanted to know your thoughts, I’m sorry if my question is unexpected! Thanks for your attention! I hope you're doin ok :D

to be honest, i am pretty uncomfortable with the idea of zapp and fry having any positive relationship. i don't like zapp redemption because i think he's funniest when he's idiotic and unrepentant, and i don't think fry should be friendly towards the person who repeatedly sexually harassed his girlfriend. it's probably the ship idea that makes me the most uncomfortable whenever i stumble upon it, because it feels like a disrespect to leela's character and her relationship with fry, something that even platonically is a heart of the show and both of their characters.

i do think the neutopia flirting thing is funny, i like the idea of fry being flattered at guys being into him, but honestly if i'm gonna come close to shipping him with any of leela's shitty exes, it's my headcanon that he's attracted to sean. zapp crosses a line to me but i think it's very funny if he and leela have similar (bad) taste in men and she's a little offended when he's like "i mean i Get It" but she also Gets It because She Was There Once

[freelafan4life545]

Using my best friend/assistant @shamandigi-blog comment for my little theory on Fry and Leela's side of the episode "Neutopia", because by this point, there was no way Fry could embarrass Leela like that. Sure, he did it a lot to Leela, but never like that.

In fact, I bet $12 dollars that Fry only sided with the guys just to fit in, but was secretly hated it and only wanted Leela's comfortability. Even having a side conversation with her between one of the scenes.

Any more questions?

💜🧡

9, 11 and 13 :3

(ask game)

I assume you mostly want JtHM takes so I'll focus on those but since you didn't specify fandom I'll chuck in a couple others I feel strongly about if that's ok!

9. Worst part of canon

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: This is tough, because I really like how everything was handled in the main story. I guess I personally found the doughboys slightly annoying, but at the same time, they served a crucial narrative purpose, so I really can't complain. Every (subjectively) """bad""" part of canon had a reason for being there, so I like every part for what it is. HOWEVER, if we're counting the spinoffs and the little "meanwhile" inserts, I really hated the like... vomit-porn aside thing in Squee. Though I guess hating it was the whole point, so like. mission accomplished? Also I don't really get Noodle Boy.

Adventure Time: Jake should have stayed blue. Explained here. I wrote the submission, hi.

Futurama: Multiple episodes. Neutopia weirdly ramped up everybody's misogyny beyond what's in-character in order to serve the "sexism is bad but gender is still part of the human experience and there will always be conflict" plot (which also is a weird gender-essentialism plotline anyway because like. The Fact That Gender Exists should not equal Conflict). Unnecessarily mean. Like I can see Bender doing that shit but there's no way that Farnsworth thinks that way. Unrelated to that one, Attack of the Killer App (origin of the "shut up and take my money" meme) leaned needlessly hard into gross-out humor. It just didn't fit the tone of the rest of the show.

Actually I'll be here all day if I list all my grievances so I'll cut this segment here.

11. Number of fandom-related words you've filtered

There's a lot of duplicates for The Same Thing Written Different Ways but if I count those as the same thing, 4. Across all fandoms. Though this blog hasn't been around long so this will probably expand in the future.

13. Worst blorbofication

(interpreting this as "wildly out of character to serve the 'comfort' of the person writing about them") Oh baby. I come from roleplay communities. I've seen shit that would make you sick. I've seen somebody play Fern (Adventure Time) Prismo (Adventure Time) and Kevin (Ben 10) all with the exact same personality. I've seen somebody Else who takes LITERALLY over 200 characters (in "no doubles" type places so now nobody else can use those characters), and also makes them all exactly the same... except for the added detail that This person talks like if a wiki page could make fart jokes. (Side note: I think that person also pretended to be three different people. Like there were three separate accounts with different names who all talked to each other, but they all wrote exactly the same way. And with exactly the same fart jokes. And they usually showed up at exactly the same time.) THE ONE SAVING GRACE of all this is that JtHM is obscure enough that I never saw Other People RP it in multifandom spaces, so it was spared this treatment. I have seen glimpses of how the fandom acts on tumblr though so:

JtHM: Nny. I really think Nny gets the worst of it. In canon, he's a very unlikeable person. That's part of why he's so interesting! He tries really hard to be nice to certain people, like to Squee, but he fails every time. He traumatizes that kid. He abuses animals. He's fatphobic. He blames addicts for their addictions. He trivializes the fight against racism (in a brief aside line at the cafe). He's all kinds of messy, awful things, and it's fascinating. It makes you want to pry his brain open and study him. Yet so much of the fanstuff you see of him files down his bad edges and just makes him "funny murder guy" at the cost of the nuances of his personality (this happened to Patrick Bateman too, as an aside). People are scared to confront that he's kind of a piece of shit, just because he's the Cool Protagonist.

Le foto qui esposte hanno l’intento di mostrare una tipologia di sguardo rivolta ai luoghi delle grandi città quali Bologna, Napoli, Belgrado, Milano e Torino. Le fotografie da me selezionate non vogliono rappresentare la quotidianità delle vite che animano le città, ma tendono a decontestualizzarne gli oggetti e gli spazi da una visione classica sottolineandone i dettagli anche i più anonimi, rientrando in «un prospettivismo che ha a che vedere con il superamento dell’io e con l’assunzione del paesaggio come unico protagonista» per citare l’articolo uscito sul blog Neutopia – Piano di fuga dalla rete.                                                                                                                                                                               Filippo Braga “Una presenza nell’assenza, un occhio di riguardo verso quegli elementi più propriamente umani che intaccano il nostro presente, una traccia delebile, superficiale, provvisoria, nell’epoca del post-umano: questo è ciò che l’autore cerca di trasmettere.”
