Tumblr, I propose a battle of wits!

I have put Iocaine powder in one of these two goblets. You choose, then we both drink.

What is My Place?

Art by MylaFox.

I have a stupid, vulnerable question to ask. I haven't taken my daily meds yet as of writing this, but this has been bothering me for some time, so I might as well get it out now rather than let it fester.

More than a decade ago, I was banned from the Sonic Stadium Message Boards after getting into it with an elitist. I was younger and unmedicated, but, that's no excuse on the internet, is it? Point is, that - as I was told - was the last straw for the SSMB staff, never mind that I hadn't been told of previous infractions at all. I attempted to return, but that second chance was squandered, too.

Long story short, when I was banned from those forums, I was banned from the heart, the core of the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. Without access to that community, my place within that, well, community was gone, and my reputation disappeared along with it, as far as I know. Being kicked out of Psyguy's art book project for Sonic's 20th anniversary only made things worse.

I can also speculate that the rep of the host of Concept: "Mobius" also took a hit. This, along with other things I'm not at liberty to discuss resulted in C:M leaving chemb0t's Technoguild, and now, he refuses to speak to me.

From there, I had to find a new host for the site. The Outerhaven was willing to put me up, but I couldn't handle the staff at the time, so I left before the new site was even up. This, I assume, put my host in a financial bind of some sort, as hosting a site costs a lot of money. I could be wrong, but as he also won't talk to me under any circumstances, I can, again, only speculate.

So...for years, I've been on my own in the Sonic fandom. Known by few, liked by less. People disliking or even hating me is nothing new for me, as I've been dealing with hatred literally all my life, but what I can't handle is apathy, being dismissed for reasons either beyond my control or worse, reasons I am unaware of because no one will tell me what I did wrong or how to fix it.

No matter where I go, I can't help but feel alone. I know I've made mistakes. I've made enemies. People who used to be friends or acquaintances now can't stand me for one reason or another, and in some cases, I have no idea what those reasons are.

I can only assume that word got out regarding my many screwups and that no one with any clout is willing to give me or Concept: "Mobius" the time of day. I even had to leave the official Sonic reddit page and discord server out of embarrassment.

Were you to ask C:M's original founder, Nuclear Envoy, he'd probably tell you that I'd be nothing and that C:M would be/is nothing without him.

I'm starting to think that he's right.

Who am I in this fan community? I used to be known. Concept: "Mobius" used to be known, it had a positive reputation. Heck, it and I were THIS close to getting Sega's acknowledgement, believe it or not! Now it just seems like I got canceled before cancel culture was even a thing.

I had a place in the Sonic community, however meager. And I ruined it. Now I feel alone, isolated. Invisible. No one knows me, ergo, no one cares. Few members of the fandom's old guard are still around, and those that are either don't talk to me or won't, unless I'm mistaken. I'm eternally grateful to @greenyvertekins for sticking by me, but saying that I was satisfied with the state of things would be dishonest.

I just...I don't know what to do. Concept: "Mobius" would be in a much better place if it were more popular, but it's not, and it's all my fault. I don't know how to fix it and earn my spot back.

How to I get my place back? Did I even have one? How do I get a new one? Do I even deserve it?

Who am I in the Sonic community?

Cool Spot’s Magical Soda Bubbles by Mast3r-Rainb0w

This old 7-UP mascot may have appeared in the commercials, but he actually also had some extremely niche games back in the early 1990’s, most prominently on 16-bit consoles such as the the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Yes, while Cool Spot was part of the trend where food/drink mascots starred in their own games at the time, the game in itself is a relatively decent platformer, and I actually recommend it! Enjoy my fanart I made here!

We didn't decide anything. Society did, because women acting like men (stoic, tough, etc.) is supposed to be "strong, independent, liberating" and any other buzzword (neo-)feminists love using.

It's why movies like The Old Guard exist, for example.

When did we decide that women looking bored and disinterested was the ideal 'sexy look'?

As a woman, I hate, hate, hate, the fake sexy pout. It is so skin crawlingly unnerving because I know damn well that it isn't real and that that woman does not fucking care about getting off for herself.

Instead she's trying too hard to sell something to dumbasses who don't appreciate women.

Give me women who laugh, smile, cry. Give me women who aren't afraid to show emotions. Give me women who actually want things. Either their own pleasure or the pleasure of someone who they care about.

That's sexy.

Real people are sexy. Not women pretending to be plastic dolls.

The Consequences of Lazy Parenting.

Seriously, folks. If your only goal as a parent is to keep your children quiet, all you care about is yourself and you shouldn't be a parent.

AT ALL.

Nothing bad that didn't need to happen, Anya. He gets better, though.
