[vanbredevoort]

did you just call me a bitch

"Words mean nothing. They're constructs. Concepts. They're consensus from species able to form complex sounds and understand their nature through teaching and practice. But that's it, right? They're just sounds. It's air being pushed and pulled, it's tongue and lips forming, deforming and reshaping how the air flows. And the meaning of those sounds depends on your knowledge and the workings of the part of your brain that processes speech-- in one, ten, a hundred years, the same sounds could mean different things. Sometimes close to the original meaning, sometimes the exact opposite. Words don't have meaning by themselves, we give them logic but it's just sounds. Would a rose stop being of a deep red shade, would it cease to smell like it does if we changed its name? Would it-- yes i called you a bitch. best bitch tho. best of bestest prettiest bitch, queen bitch supreme please don't leave me???????"

If you support the ongoing Human genocide in palestine, DRC and Sudan or you are a "nUWUtral cutie patootie oooooh i am so neutral I don't care 💅💅💅" type of person and STILL be a fan of one piece ...

Then I've got bad news for you

Your ass is reading too fast or you're too damn dumb to understand what the story is about. Either way get off the fandom and shut up forever

The urge to reanimate round 6...

[blueballsracing]

Can u help me understand Lestappen please? I’m trying to get into it because it’s a popular ship and I don’t want to miss out on great fics and stuff.

But I see Tumblr posts of MV and CL that scream “HEART EYES” or “HUSBANDS” and…I don’t see it. I can’t suspend my disbelief. Like I get they’ve been competing for 20 years or whatever but I don’t get anything other than profesh respect. And when we regularly see how they are with other people, like MV with Daniel or Lando, or CL with Carlos, Lestappen looks even worse.

Can you please help me see the Lestappen light?

hi anon! lemme break it down for ya. the reason why lestappen is such a popular ship is bc not only of the mutual respect that they have for each other, but the history they have, and their interactions have been pretty cute and all.

even max and lando don't really interact that much, and lando goes as far as to say that "he's not my bff, don't ever say that again" when asked about him and max's relationship. and max with daniel–well, max has always loved daniel and had a crush on that man since his first days in f1 so... different dynamic for sure. charles with carlos interactions... they are cute and all but i think their racing dynamics are just so awkward? esp i think that the ferrari politics deffo affected their relationship and all. cross-team dynamics between charles and max have a nice dynamic, but i'll break down some of the key events

lestappen lore timeline!

2012 - when the inchident occurs - you just need to watch this video. it's just so funny. no words can explain this 😭

2014 - when max essentially recommends charles to race for his old f3 team, van amersfoort racing, a dutch team. and the team boss had a lot of positive things to say about the two <3

2019 - the singapore flag incident... mr. i know geography and i love flags SOMEHOW doesn't know the difference between the singapore flag and the monaco flag

2019 - when we get to austria 2019. essentially, charles is about to win his FIRST ever f1 gp with 3 laps to go, and max pushes charles off track, overtaking him and eventually winning. charles is FURIOUS on the podium. and then they have to share a plane back home but max is all like "oh yeah we're good! 😊 he's talented and he will have his first win this year for sure! we have at least 15-20 years of racing together still! 😊" and then on the plane charles unfollows max. max does the same 😭

2022 - jumping forward to austria 2022, when charles wins the race! and they have this GAY ASS PODIUM

austria is lestappen holy ground.

2020 - when we get this wonderful clip of sebastian asking whether or not charles thinks max is pretty.

seb: is he pretty? charles: *giggles and then silence* OH WAIT. i thought you said 'is he british?' i was like, that's not physical... *panicked leg shake* i don't know!!! *laughs again*

charles not wanting to answer if max is pretty... we should take that as a yes <3

2021 - the year of their baku love tree <3 according to an old turkish custom, when a couple get married, they plant a tree together, and they water it to symbolize their marriage and their hope for leading a happy and beautiful life!

and then jumping forward to 2023 in baku, they have the SAME IDENTICAL TIME during first runs in q3. only max is first bc he did his lap first.

2022 - cota! before the press conference they talk and max goes "fresh again?" and charles starts GIGGLING. like yeah we know u were drunk celebrating 🙄

2022 - secret santa! when charles has max for secret santa and this guy just. gives him f1 2022. with THREE OF HIS FACES. and has a card and writes "one edition for my BIGGEST FAN." not normal about this at ALL.

2023 - charles admits to drinking red bull after he couldn't say in an interview but then likes a tweet later 😭

2023 - paddelgate. max loses to charles in october

and then they're supposed to play together in december!

but then... Max stays up until 4 am the night before the match (doing a 24 hour charity stream) and sleeps in and misses the entire event. 🙁

ok i could literally go on and on about them but i'm going to end it here with a couple quotes:

"Of course I have a lot of respect for Max. He has done very well and I have a lot of respect for what he has achieved. When we drove in karts, we dreamed of Formula 1 together and here we are now! He has the title I won and I have a lot of respect for that."

"I always thought that, if I'd make it to F1, Charles would also make it."

[cipheramnesia]

also, i really don't understand your followers dogpiling on me for asking a question. again, if everyone takes it personally every time someone doesn't know how to do something or realize there is an option, no one will ask questions or learn everything. there is no need to shame people for that. with that, i'm going to unfollow, don't worry. it's just disheartening to see people acting like this instead of choosing to be kind.

I choose to set one boundary and you have interpreted that as being unkind. I am doing all I can with everything I have right now, and you have also made the decision to interpret it as unkind. You don't know about my spending every day wrapped up in hopeless anxiety, thoughts of suicide every few hours, no idea how or if we're ever going to get back the home we only have because of my mother dying, or me being curled up crying on the basement floor a few hours ago.

Which is fine. You're not even seeing this. I don't know you, you don't know me, but I do my best with whatever I have that day. Sometimes it's not enough for everyone, it's not enough for you I guess, but you've now sent me two long paragraphs describing other people as unkind, letting me know that you did not like my brief response, telling me you don't care to interact with me because this made you feel bad about asking a stranger to resolve a problem which you had the ability to solve independently, where a cursory review would have shown I already try to make my longer posts avoidable, and realistically placing the responsibility of the whole of Tumblr's general culture on a stranger.

I am trying my best, and that is all that I can do, but I cannot do all of these things, and I am genuinely sorry that you feel the need to use whatever function you had remaining today to take a momentary interaction online which will never reflect back on you directly in any way, and use that time and capability to try to make other people feel bad about themselves.

I expect that whoever you are, your behavior in normal, person to person interactions outside Tumblr is pleasant and even something people enjoy being around. And probably that is because when you experience brief moments of feeling rejection, like me, you understand not to immediately verbalize those feelings and act on them, but to give yourself time to process the feeling and, in many cases, discover it was not only not worth reacting to, your feelings stemmed more from receiving a minor but deserved chastisement.

We accept these things, and move on. I have also fucked up, maybe I'm doing it right now. And I'll accept it and admit it and try not to fuck up again and move on, but I don't particularly feel like that's the case for me here. And honestly not the case for you, whoever you are. This is all brief and immaterial and hardly worth the time spent writing. But here we are, neither of us mattering much in any way, together.

Hi,it annoys me when Itachi is paired with Sakura, does anyone really think that the could fall in love with her?He won't even look at her,but how do you feel about this couple?

Anti-S*kura/ anti Ita*ku/anti ss content ahead.

I've written about it before too. Here.

It annoys me too. This is my honest reaction to the ship. (It's probably someone's art, so if anyone knows the artist's name or blog, please let me know. i'll credit them).

I haven't interacted with her fans a lot (their general hate for Itachi just makes me want to not talk to them), so the psychology behind anyone shipping her with Itachi is entirely lost on me. He would certainly not fall in love with her. I can't see him falling in love with anyone, least of all, her. He's so damaged and guilt-ridden, and he has absolutely nothing he can offer in a romantic relationship. He's broken, suicidal, and suffers from the most severe form of PTSD, so what can he do that she will find charming? In all of Itachi's ships, his partner(s) would have to work hard to make it work. We know she isn't the kind of person who does it, or pays attention to someone unless her own feelings are being rewarded or coddled.

I don't know how she's written in the fics (I've never read them), but if the writers are making her sympathetic, thoughtful, understanding, kind, generous where her ulterior motives do not lie, then that's just not her actual personality. You can't write their core characteristics as it is and think they can be shipped together. There's absolutely nothing he'll like in her. If he did think something of her obsession towards Sasuke he would have acquiesced to SS and reached out to her instead of Naruto.

She's just shoehorned into both Itachi and Sasuke's lives as their potential life partner, which is wild because Sasuke just didn't care about her until very last and Itachi... oh, well.

You guys really made me give more thought to her in the last 2-3 days than I did in the last 13 months of having seen and read Naruto. Many people unfollowed me recently, lmao. Could be a coincidence too that some deleted their blogs or maybe unfollowed me for other reasons. But still.. xD

Another Baldur’s Gate 3 Fanart Notice

I finished my first playthrough, and I'm going to be drawing fanart of Roisia's experiences. Some of this fanart will contain spoilers, but I figure forewarned is forearmed. If you want to see some stuff, but not others, I've got a guideline for my own art.

Tumblr Filters

If you don’t want to see my BG3 fanart, you can filter tags and post content. (Here are some instructions on how to filter by tag while this article explains how to filter by text.) I will be using #BG3 and #Baldur's Gate 3 as generic tags if you'd like to see absolutely fuck all about the game.

I wanted to put the option out there for people who want to see some of my art without ruining their own experience so, in addition to the #BG3 Spoilers tag, I will also be using the tags #Act I Spoilers, #Act II Spoilers, and #Act III Spoilers. Block all three tags, unblock as you see fit, or keep them blocked and choose on a post-by-post basis! Hopefully that will give you more control over what you see coming from me and preserve your own game experience at the same time.

Unfollowing

Of course, I understand if you wish to unfollow me completely in order to protect your own experience of the game and/or to better curate your dashboard. If this is the best route for you, take it! You will not hurt my feelings. Unfollow away!

SIDE NOTE: COMMISSIONS

I am booked through 2024 and am now booking through 2025. After I schedule out 2025, commissions will be closed. Email me with your enquiry and I'll add you to the queue.

[primofate]

I hope this is okay to ask but would you ever consider putting your age or age range in your pinned? (Unless I missed it somewhere!) I like your work a lot but wouldn’t feel comfortable interacting if you’re a minor.

I'm not offended by this ask at all, but I sort of find it...ironic?

If people put their age on their profile, is that an automatic truth? Is it just an instant truth and you believe them immediately when they say they're 18+? I found it meaningless to put my age, because anyone can just put a random number, but I understand why others would find it comforting.

Instead of relying on the age posted, maybe get to know a blog a bit more before following them? Asks like this are the reason I am so grateful to some of my followers for keeping up with me and the bits of my real life I have posted about. They know I'm married, they know I have a child. They know that I have a job and an adult life to keep running. Of course if you are new here I understand why you would miss that information (but tbh I've talked about my little one a few times already, and from other asks you would know I'm not a teen mom, cause some people might go there).

Just saying, maybe get to know a blog a bit more before following or interacting? But point taken and though I still don't find it necessary to put my age I'll just put a disclaimer that I'm old enough. I might actually be more ancient than all my followers. *insert eye roll*

Edit: actually, ill leave the disclaimer out. You can unfollow if you feel uncomfortable following a blog with no age on it. 🤷‍♀️

what's happening in gaza?

i know first hand that it's very difficult to fully understand what's going on in the world right now, especially coming from somewhere that is so different culturally, geographically, and historically as palestine. being online recently and seeing that people are being called zionists for simply asking questions about what's going on or not fully understanding bc, for the most part, it isn't your fault that you are so ignorant to the issue at hand. news sources based around the world and misinterpreting the situation in order to put palestine in bad lighting, so it's important that you all take some time and do your own individual research to look into what's going on, what your stance is, and what you can do to help. no one is asking you to donate your last $100 if you cannot afford to do so, but the acts of declaring your side and participating in boycotts are enough support to at least show the people of gaza that THEY ARE NOT ALONE.

below i've put together a few articles from different sources with different backgrounds, if you're interested, please read a few of these sources and educate yourselves on the situation. i've included sources to explain what's going on now, what's happened between israel and palestine in the past, the kinds of things that are happening in gaza, and why this is being treated as a genocide instead of a war. this is what i've been able to find, but if you discover some more pls feel free to reach out and i'll add them to my list!! everyone be safe and be kind to one another <3

What is Hamas and why is it fighting with Israel in Gaza (BBC)

Israel and Palestine: a complete guide to the crisis (The Guardian)

Timeline: A look into the long history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (ABC)

The history of conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza (CBC)

A 'cultural genocide': Which of Gaza's heritage sites have been destroyed? (Al Jazeera)

Key takeaways from UN court's ruling on Israel's war in Gaza (AP News)

Israel-Palestine conflict: what is the two-state solution and what are the obstacles? (Reuters)

'Chilling effect': People expressing pro-Palestinian views censured, suspended from work and school (CBC) (this one is not directly about gaza, but shows the way that people are being punished just for supporting the people of palestine against this genocide)

ALSO PLS KEEP IN MIND THAT any acts of violence being committed by the hamas group is NOT a representation of the people of palestine, and the inhumane and monstrous treatment of these people absolutely is not deserved in return for the things being done by the hamas. regardless of your political stance, if you believe that the way that israel has treated palestinians in the past and continue to treat them in the present in deserved or justified in ANY WAY, pls unfollow and block me bc i want nothing to do with you.

[imactuallyreallycool]

Of course the one time I actually join a fandom and post art, one of the actors of my favourite ship literally promotes genocide, and finds genocide "sexy" apparently

FREE PALESTINE AND FUCK NOAH SCHNAPP

IM TAKING A BREAK FROM POSTING BYLER ART (sorry to those asks I still haven answered, maybe one day I'll get to you but for now I'm having a break)

If you just need need a break from stranger things/ byler I completely understand!!! So if you block me or unfollow me that's understable

Now if you are unfollowing/blocking me because I'm being anti-zionist, then fuck you I guess.

You don't have to do a lot of research to realise murdering a thousands of innocent people (a lot of which are children) is not a good thing.

hopefully noah can become a better person but the likelihood of that happening is fucking extremely low, so low in fact i cant even see it happening so fuck you noah schnapp.

Hopefully you guys understand what I was trying to say here and everything I’m trying to say here is a complete mess. I will be having a break from posting byler art (you might get some mike wheeler stuff but thats it... for now, I had so much planned for future art, maybe I will get to do it one day but for now FREEING PALESTINE IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THEN ME DOING ART FOR MY COMFORT SHIP ) and I'll still do fan art but for other fandoms for the moment.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH SEASON 5, PIRATE IT!!!!!!

FREE PALESTINE

Here's a post to help you understand what's happening in palestine (for a start, this shouldn't be the be all and end all for your research)

[archiveikemen]

💌 From: Erie

Hello!

Previously, I announced a hiatus because I had some personal matters to attend to and with my awful self-control I couldn't really focus on them while balancing TL stuff at the same time. I was also feeling pretty burnt out and needed a break.

Now that I've settled what's important, I think I'm ready to continue running this blog. However, as mentioned in another post, I decided on certain changes I want to make to how I run my blog.

Some of these changes are going to upset some people, but I've been thinking about this for a long time and only made this decision after choosing to prioritise my wellbeing + this is my blog.

Continue under the cut.

First of all... this one isn't a change and you guys already know this because it's in my FAQ post + you can tell by how often I post new stories — unlike some other blogs, I'm not able to translate new stories every single day aka I'm not going to be posting daily story chapter updates. It takes a lot of time to TL and a lot of proofreading before a story is deemed ready for uploading.

Moving on!

I've probably said this at least 5 times by now and keep going back on forth on the decision but this time I'm dead serious.

There will be a change to the order in which I prioritise which game's content I TL. The new order will be: Ikemen Genjiden, Morganatic Idol, Ikemen Villains/Koihana Bakumeiroku/Ikemen Live.

You read that right. I'm going to start TL more MoruDoru content and slowly get back into KoiBaku. The reason for this specific order of prioritisation is simply because Genjiden is getting discontinued in August and we don't know whether the app will even still be on the AppStore like IkeRev or it'll end up like IkeLive (IFC) or it just vanishes off the surface of the earth. Moreover, MoruDoru and KoiBaku don't have EN versions; IkeLive is because I want to finish Henri's main story.

Ever since Ikemen Villains EN server launched, I noticed that majority of the fandom is now focused on that and no longer reading translations of JP events even though they're not on EN yet. Which I think is understandable and great because now it's much more convenient for the english speaking fandom to enjoy the game without having to wait for someone to translate stuff. All the events and stories on JP will be on EN eventually. Therefore, I'm going to stop translating main stories and events for IkeVil — this excludes any paywalled stories I may be interested in i.e. ECB, 95K LP bonus, story sale, birthday stories. I'll still TL paywalled stories because I understand that not everyone can obtain them, even when they're out on EN. However, IkeVil remains at the bottom of my priorities.

I'm well aware that I built this blog up and gained majority of my audience from the Ikemen Villains fandom, so I'm truly sorry things turned out this way. But I want translating to be fun again and most of my enjoyment back when I first started my blog came from being able to just TL whatever I'm reading at the time, instead of rushing to TL stories before the next event starts and beating myself up over being slower than others.

That's all I have to say. I don't mind if you want to unfollow me after this, because being "popular" was never my goal to begin with. I thank you for all the support you've given me so far, from the bottom of my heart.

I'm Stepping Away For A While...

Over the past week, and then some, I have been called a multitude of names in an effort to make fun of me and rude names including wh*re, p**sy, bitch, a liar, a fake, etc. I've been told I'm a fake/bad ARMY, a fake jikooker, etc. Ive had people call my friends deragatory names and misgender them. And I've also had someone in my DMs try to gaslight me into believing that this was not harassment or Bullying, but that I should apologize to my followers for threatening to block people and that people were just expressing strongly worded commentary over how my actions hurt them. And that I needed to take responsibility for creating the drama at all. And none of that is okay, and honestly it's been a lot. And the way people just brushed over the name calling and harassment regardless of if they disagreed with me or liked me, that was a lot too.

Blocking people to curate my space is not harassment or bullying or disrespectful. Its simply protecting myself and trying to curate a safe space for me personally. Nor have I ever started a hate campaign to try and drive another blogger off the platform. And if a post of mine encouraged people to send messages or hurtful asks to someone else, and I KNEW about it, I would've said something and asked them to stop. Sharing an opinion or disagreeing with someone is not me sending anyone hate. Nor would I ever want that for anyone regardless of any disagreements we had over whatever topic.

I've lost quite a few followers over the past week, people believing things that are being said and that's fine, i was never here for the numbers anyway. Id rather you unfollow or block me peacefully if you dont like me or my posts. Some of the people engaging with this hate against me were honestly surprising. But it is what it is. But I don't feel safe in this space anymore. I honestly haven't for a while. Blogging isn't as fun anymore. I don't want to post while it feels like a chore. And that's not because of anyone or anything in particular. I opened this blog because it brought me joy and it was fun. And it's really sad that something that brought me happiness is no longer doing that for me. It's not just all this drama either. It's probably been awhile coming, making my timeline posts for longer posts felt more like something I had to do for you all instead of something I wanted to do for me. And that's not what I want for this space.

So I'll be stepping away for awhile. When or if I come back will depend on if I can get that joy back for doing this and I feel like this can be a fun corner of the internet for all of us together again. And also for if I feel like I can do this without it being so mentally draining and just not good for my mental health like it has been lately.

I'll leave my blog here and my masterlist because I know that a lot of people enjoy the archive of some past content I have cataloged there. I don't want to take that away from anyone for that reason alone since I want people to be able to access that content if they can't otherwise find it. I also want the option to be able to come back to this blog again at some point. So I don't want to delete it or say I'm stepping away permanently, nor do I want people wondering what happened to me or anything. I just need a break. I do apologize for all the post series I have started that are remaining unfinished now for a little while.

If you want to unfollow me knowing that I'll be absent from here for awhile or for any other reason, that's totally fine. Honest. No hard feelings. I wish you well and hope everyone will continue to do well and enjoy the next few months of music, content and love from the members. Maybe I'll try to be back in time for JJK1 whenever that happens.

Again, this is just something I need. I'm okay, I'm not hurt or upset. I just need a break. I appreciate you all understanding. I'll still be in this fandom and be ARMY for life. I'll still be around for the next day or so. Thank you for understanding. I do love you guys and hope to back as soon as I'm able to.

Literally just copypasting whatever I wrote on twitter but here's what my views are, heres a less polite tldr, idc much, don't fucking make a call out post for a goddamn minor, get off your moral high horse of fandom policing and making a callout post for the most basic fucking things, just block and move on. I'm gonna keep drawing as usual and also this venn diagram

Okay i woke up to a callout post about me today and didnt have the time to look into it when it happened but now that I do have the time, I just wanna ask why make a callout post when you could've just blocked and moved on. I understand that nsfw stuff might make you uncomfortable and it's very very understandable but it's interesting to me that you went through a writers kudos' to find people who read and liked their fic and went down their tumblrs to look for their interactions with each other and proceeded to tell us that we need therapy. Also interesting that you made a whole callout post for two (2) people who read nsfw fics, one of them who you knew was a minor. And while I'm not condoning faer actions of interacting with nsfw fics while being a minor (also on the other hand let's be real, we all have read nsfw things at 16, like who hasnt done that, also the nature of ao3 is such that you can't really enforce who reads what and nor should you), it's interesting to me that you specifically targeted a couple of people when there's so many people also making and interacting with nsfw things. I don't mind the callout honestly, but if you know that fae are a minor, why the fuck would you put fae under fire like that. Not bashing you, just saying it's interesting. Now on the topic of me interacting with nsfw fics, I saw someone mention something about me being a minor? Which I'm not? I don't like putting my age up on the internet but I'm literally definitely an adult. So there's point one. Second thing, I like reading fics that my friends write and I like supporting them with kudos' and comments. It's absolutely wild that you went down and hunted out who read and kudosed his fics. Third thing I myself haven't really made any explicitly nsfw works myself I think? And even if have made something suggestive I've made sure to tag it as such so that people who don't like such things can just choose not to see it? Also here's a neat venn diagram made by m skittlespizza viv-weylin about fanworks and fandom

It's interesting that you're willing to put away time to monitor what other people are reading, specifically, as you mentioned, people you don't know and then making a whole callout post for them. Anyways I'm not mad about it nor do I care too much, I'll still be posting the art I usually do, feel free to block or unfollow me if me reading nsfw makes you uncomfortable i guess, if you do unfollow make sure to like make that a soft block since I'm assuming you'd also probably not like me to interact with you.
