Huh.

So when Dream dictates people's feelings to them, takes their words out of context, feigns ignorance to things he was caught in the act or word of, goes on nonsensical Ben Shapiro-esque tirades to prevent the other person from getting a word in edgewise, or butts into situations that didn't involve him just to say an ableist slur, it's fine because he has autism and ADHD.

But when Tommy Tubbo stutters, speaks a little too slowly, asks for clarification, or concedes a single inch of rhetorical ground because the topic will go nowhere otherwise, that's proof he's an idiot who can't read or make up his own opinions without his friends telling him what to think.

Do I have that right?

Not to vague at anyone but I've been seeing a lot of posts responding to Veilguard criticism that entirely miss the point of those criticisms.

No, my frustration with Rook's characterization isn't that there are limitations to a video games PC. It's that there are scant options to RP in the RPG and fewer options to make choices beyond 'do you want to do this quest y/n?' in a game series which previously bent over backwards to explore the idea of how far is too far for the greater good.

No, my frustration with the way the world seems to have changed is not that the there is a change or even that those changes are underexplained. It's that those changes feel more like reboots that don't want to continue the narrative of the previous games. Sure, the differences in the Crows could be chocked up to a differences in the Houses, or the change in how Circles are described could be because how the Mage-Templar war ended but A) that's never actually addressed or even lamp shaded B) the worldstate removal means that the changes can't be a consequence for past actions because it happened regardless of whatever occurred in the last three games!

No, the number of times the word 'okay' is used doesn't inherently make the game poorly written. The change in the writing voice, anachronist word choices, and flattening of characters into marvel quip speak is just best quantified by word choice.

Perhaps most frustratingly, No, my trans ass isn't somehow scandalized by the mere existence of a nonbinary person. There is plenty of transphobic bs being flung at the game, at Taash, and at the devs but acting like being critical of how Taash is written is exclusively due to transphobia just isn't true and it does boil my blood just a little when I see a post claiming that everyone critical of Taash's character is antitrans.

Your narrator design needs to desperately hit the gym my god that bitch fat

Hmmm what’s this? A comment about me? Well let’s see what it says…

“Your narrator design needs to desperately hit the gym my god that b*tch fat”

A b*tch?!?! Well I- I can’t believe- why would- The audacity!!! A b*tch!!! I understand that I can be a bit passive aggressive at times but calling me a- goodness I don’t even know what to say anymore. At least the others picked up a thesaurus when insulting my narrative abilities.

I am curious however, what does my physical appearance have to do with anything? And what’s this about needing to “hit the gym”?

Stanley!!! Stanley, yes I need you to answer something for me, do I need to “hit the gym”?

No, I’m not concerned about my size, why would I be? My appearance is perfect, I wouldn’t just design a body for myself that I would stop liking. Why is everyone focused on that? I just want to know if I need to hit whatever this gym thing is.

Oh? ‘A place where people exercise to become stronger’? But I’m already strong enough. I’m not human and therefore not bound by your silly limitations. ‘Also to lose weight’? So they were insulting my appearance?

Yes “they”. A faceless person on the internet sent me what appears to be a hate comment without having the balls to do so to do so without the mask of anonymity. I would guess to separate their named online and more kind persona from their bitterness underneath so they can feel good about themselves. They want to be liked but can’t help the need to try and put down others.

Regardless so long as it’s not my abilities as a writer being insulted I’m not too bothered. After all, we’re only drawn pixels on a screen, don’t think too hard about that Stanley, and I’m far from the only heavyset narrator design out there. At least 50% of the other me’s out there have a similar body type as myself!

In fact, Mx. Anonymous, for being the first ever hate comment for this blog, you will receive art of myself drawn by our mysterious benefactor “PaperPossum” for all your troubles.

Enjoy

Solas: (conducting his ritual) What would you do, Varric? Varric: I'd contact local elves. Then I'd use a different way of working out— Solas: (sarcastic) Oh, the old "different way" method! I didn't think of that!

I think after listening to Caramel on loop the only thing I can add to the discussion is just how we as a fandom can do better. Yes respecting the band's privacy is absolutely what everyone should be doing and is also the most basic thing you could possibly do.

But after Caramel we need to do more, more than just telling other people to feel ashamed or to do better.

If you see people spreading their real names or pictures of them unmasked? Block them, I'm so serious. Stop giving these people views and engagement, don't argue, don't retweet or comment with something you think is a scalding or witty clapback, banish these people to the fandom's shadow realm. If you really need to confront them at most tell them that what they're doing is weirdo behavior before blocking them.

And this part is know is going to be controversial but I need you dear reader to stay with until the end. Call them out, post their usernames, tell people who these weirdos are. "Oh I don't want them dog piled or harassed" I don't either but guess what? The fandom should know who these people are so they can also block them. Not naming the people who decide to disrespect boundaries is only protecting the weirdos and they don't deserve it. Do you hear me? People who doxx the very people they say they're fans of don't deserve protection from the fandom.

Throw those weirdos out.

And if you really don't like confrontation go to the band's socials and drown out the weirdos with your love and appreciation.

Vessel has done all that he can by asking for people to let him remain anonymous and now writing and releasing Caramel. Now I think its really time for the fandom to put its collective money where its mouths are. If you really want to fight and protect Vessel (and the other of course) then this is the best way to do it. Caramel needs to be the line in the sand that the fandom says "no further, we're done with this and if you want to cross this line then we're going to push back."

Chuuya just collectively insulting the entire Port Mafia before and when he initially joins

Jikook: The Plot Twist You Were Too Loud to Predict

✨In the great Tk Gym Chronicles of 2025, the council of clowns convened to announce the end of Jikook™ because of one photo. They said Jikook don't spend time together. They said Jimin was DONE. They said the gym was gay now. And then... the next thing we know... Jimin and Jungkook both casually fly to Tokyo a day apart. From the same airport. After military duties. While everyone was screaming in protein powder.

Truly, the silence in the cult camp is louder than Jungkook's biceps.

Now let’s break down the comedy, shall we? 🎭

So lemme get this straight. A man working out in a gym is your bar for queerness. Not the man catching a flight with his soulmate a day later. Interesting metrics. What’s next? “He drank from the left side of the bottle, that’s peak romance”? Gym bros being “gayer than gay” is peak projection and copium overdose, I fear.

The cult asked “how are Jikookers doing?” as if they didn’t get smacked upside the head by a surprise Tokyo link-up. Not internetless babes, just enjoying their win in 4K. Jungkook wasn’t being savage, he was being soft—with Jimin. Y’all just weren’t invited to the plot twist.

So pari, how are you doing?? No internet or what? LMAO

“ThEy WoRk OuT tOgEtHeR WhIle SeRvInG mIlEs ApArT.” Girl, one flew 1000 miles to Tokyo, and the other caught up 24 hours later like it was a Sunday brunch. Who’s doing long-distance gym routines when they’re sharing airspace? You were so loud and so confidently wrong. But don’t worry—we love a humbling arc.

The cult: “Even miles apart they’re synced 😭😭” Jikook: Flies internationally to the same country at the same time. Delulus: 😶

This is what happens when you prioritize fanfiction over therapy.

Honestly, you said it best. Y’all were blind and loud. Double homicide. But it's okay, we accept your confession. First step to recovery is admitting you couldn't see the Tokyo train coming straight for your narrative. Choo Choo!!

Ah yes, the “Jungkook posed with Tae!! It’s historic!!” take. Let’s ignore the actual history: that Jimin was the person Jungkook willingly enlisted with and still took vacations together with. But please, tell me more about this gym pic that had the intimacy of a dumbbell rack and a wall mirror.

The cult ran a full victory lap over a gym selfie while Jikook casually gave us synchronized airport-core Tokyo edition. Maybe next time just… wait 48 hours before declaring the “end.” Because if anyone’s ending things, it’s Jikook—ending the rumors, ending the drought, and apparently… ending y’all’s peace.

(Not my best post that was a quick one but you get the point lol)

Friendly reminder that arguing with people with urls like '1488chudleydursley' or 'womenandjewsrntppl' or whatever is not only an exercise in frustration but actively harmful in that it gives oxygen to the dead-end blogs these morons run.

Don't sully your blog with the mouth diarrhea of ignoramuses and bigots!
