#I don’t mean to come off rude

[flurriethefox]

Something I hate seeing on social media is the hate on pit bulls. Like, there is nothing wrong with them.

Yes, they used to be fighting dogs. USED TO. They aren’t anymore. I have met multiple pit bulls and every single one of them were some of the sweetest dogs I have ever met.

This isn’t the 50s/60s anymore, dog fighting isn’t acceptable. Pit bulls aren’t gonna eat your children, don’t worry. I know, it’s a shocker. The hostile pit bulls aren’t like that by nature, it’s their owners that are the problem. They’re hostile because their owners couldn’t give less of a shit and trained them wrong.

Please. Pit bulls aren’t the dogs of the devil, you’ll live. Try showing them less hate, maybe you’ll notice they’re not killers. They’re just pets with a bad reputation because of previous people’s mistakes. I understand if people have a fear of dogs or just big dogs. That’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just pit bulls specifically that get this kind of hate and I despise seeing it.

Alright I’m gonna come on here to help some of y’all understand vocal ranges and mixing cause some of y’all are being absolutely disgusting towards “auroras” singer.

It’s ok if you don’t know how certain things works but the fact y’all are so quick to go after the ghoulettes this year, I’m afraid it’s just plain out misogyny and I’m tired of seeing it in this fandom.

Auroras singer is a POWERHOUSE vocalist. She sings at a very high register that most ears are going to pick up MORE, that’s normal. She is NOT TRYING TO OUTSING EVERYONE. Your ears are going to naturally pick up on those higher registers REGARDLESS.

If anything you need to have an issue with the MIXING not the SINGER.( I don’t feel this way I personally liked the mixing except for respite, I do think that song needs more work.)

If she truly was THAT LOUD like y’all are complaining she is, I TRULY believe Tobias would have never approved the recording. The fact that we HAVE IT means HE LIKED IT ENOUGH TO RELEASE IT. SO TAKE IT UP WITH TOBIAS AND STOP BAD MOUTHING HER.

- No one acted this way during the prequel era when cumulus over powers papas singing on the song per asper ad inferi and faith?

- No one acted this way when phantom and dew messed up their parts REPEATEDLY.

I’m starting to think some of y’all are forgetting these are REAL PERFORMERS AND PEOPLE behind those masks.

Im reading it as straight up misogyny at this point and jealousy over A CERTAIN OTHER GHOUL. Get a grip, educate yourself before you type nonsense, touch some grass and GET OVER YOUR PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIP ITS NOT REAL!

Please be nicer to each other. You got one life to live, spread love with it not hate.

"tell me on anon what you wouldn’t off anon"

i think dean was straight up abusive towards jack and while there is room for redemption to be explored, in canon, the show did not give him any sort of redemption. in other words in my eyes "canon" dean winchester is an abuser (but canon is unimportant anyways so whatever)

im scared of saying this and getting stoned to death

no need to comment you can just post this without saying anything if you want

- 🏴‍☠️

no no you’re right and you should say it, however I disagree that Dean was completely abusive and that there was never any canon redemption.

firstly I think there’s a slight difference in someone being abusive vs being an abuser;

abuse (or abusive behavior/tendencies) can happen accidentally, unintentionally, especially if it’s resulted from trauma (like Dean’s). you can be completely unaware that something you’ve done or said is abusive, especially because being abusive can be as simple as yelling or hitting someone, or treating them unfairly (like jack). people who have abusive tendencies or behaviors are capable of regretting it and wanting/trying to change…whereas an abuser is wholly aware, intentional and remorseless about their actions. they know what they are doing, they know it’s immoral/inhumane and they just don’t care—either because they feel entitled or justified in some way, or even if they don’t.

Dean has repeatedly shown plenty of regret, guilt and blatant self hatred for his abusive tendencies and how they affect the people around him. It’s one of the most important parts of his character, being the crux of his self worth and why he can’t accept that people (Cas) genuinely care about him or consider him a good person. When he refers to himself as “daddy’s blunt instrument” or “poison,” it isn’t just about being a hunter whose life constantly risks other peoples inescapably, it’s also about the violent nature that’s instilled into Dean constantly by John and how both of those things either isolates him from getting close to anyone else, or drives away people who do get close. That’s why there’s no light at the end of the tunnel for Dean, why he’s so resigned to dying bloody. It’s all he thinks he can ever have or really deserve.

When Jack is dying in 14x07, Dean physically cannot stand to see it. He’s angry that Jack is dying so young and so out of nowhere; he thinks it’s unfair and wrong, point blank. But above all else, (as Sam says) Dean canonically has never forgotten or forgiven himself for how he had treated Jack, even though by this point in time they’ve already had a good relationship for the past two years. He’s angry and upset that Jack is dying, but he’s also upset because he still thinks, after all this time, that he’s never been able to fully make up for what he did, and now he’s lost any chance to with Jack’s limited time. That’s why Dean decides to take him on the road trip; that’s why he says “Who would’ve thought being around me (the person who treated you terribly at one point) would make you (the person who didn’t deserve it) sentimental?”

When Dean leaves Jack’s room for the last time and wounds up being absent for his death, he’s even more upset about it, and later brings it up to take a dig at Sam for thinking he didn’t do enough for Jack because, by Dean’s own admission, Sam had always been the one to do more. “At least you were there for him [because I wasn’t, and I see that as another failure on top of everything else I did to him before].” And then, after the three of them get hammered in Jack’s memory, Dean turns to Cas and asks, “we did everything we could, right?” There’s a lot more in 14x07 but I’ll leave it alone for now, and move onto the redemption part of what you said.

I know I said I disagreed, but really it’s only partially; instead I believe that the show simply didn’t give enough time for a complete redemption (save me spn revival wish fulfillments, spn revival wish fulfillments save me). The end of S14 is basically the destruction of the Team Free Will 2.0 found family unit, not just between Dean and Cas, but also between Dean and Sam, and Jack and the three of them. And I think the reason there’s so much more emphasis on Dean’s relationship with Jack (+ why the family unit falling apart is specifically centered on it) is specifically because of how they started; Dean was initially the only one to be distrustful of Jack and mistreat him as a result, whereas Sam and Cas were willing to see Jack with more humanity and goodness, and when Jack proved that he was good that was the crux of Dean’s guilt going forward; his distrust was wrong and misguided, and the abuse he put Jack through because of it was even more wrong and undeserved.

But then after Mary’s death, the three of them have no idea what to think. They’re more reluctant than Bobby is to admit that Jack could have simply had his evil bone activated after losing his soul/eating Michael’s grace, but they aren’t excluding the idea either. The question up in the air now is: “Was Dean right all along? Were we wrong for trusting Jack and thinking he was good? Is all of this our fault?” (and going back to 14x07, the basic ‘framework’ of Dean’s dynamic with Jack is basically ‘I was wrong about you being evil and now that I love you I want to be keep being wrong about you being evil’ and ‘I want you to be wrong about me being evil too, especially now that you love me and I love you’).

Sam, Dean, Cas and Jack are all presented with the worst case scenario that had always been hanging over Jack’s entire existence. None of them want to believe it after growing so close to him (and vice versa), but they’re not given much else to consider. Mary’s death was one thing, one horrible tragic wound reopening, but they knew it was an accident and they knew Jack had tried to fix it. It isn’t until Duma got her claws into Jack and ordered him to kill nonbelievers that TFW finally decides they have to do something final about Jack, and Dean resumes his militant Kill All Monsters behavior. He’s dissociating into the blunt instrument mindset to protect himself from the grief of losing his mother and potentially losing his son. He can’t even bear to consider Jack his son anymore, both because of Mary and the task of killing him, so Jack becomes “just another monster,” in his dissociative mind. His son wouldn’t have killed Mary or tortured Nick or murdered people randomly because his son was a good person, and his son does not deserve to die, but whatever identical monster has inexplicably replaced Jack would certainly do that and certainly does deserve to die.

Dean’s “poison” is rooted in the fact that his coping mechanisms are intertwined with abusive tendencies and behaviors. He pushes people away if he thinks he doesn’t deserve their respect or love, and he buries any emotional attachment to them because he knows it’s his greatest weakness. That’s why he couldn’t bring himself to shoot Jack, regardless of the grief he felt for Mary or how much he tried to see Jack as a monster that wasn’t really his son. When Jack knelt down, said “I understand. I know what I’ve done. And you were right all along. I am a monster,” and then waited for the gun to go off, that’s what snapped Dean out of it. That’s what got him to see that this was still his son—that and the road trip from 14x07 flashing before his eyes. The grief he feels for Mary’s death is still painful and will be for a long time, but he won’t let it cloud him from seeing that his son is still there and still a good person who deserves the chance to make it right and be forgiven.

That militant dissociation comes back again following Jack’s death and Chuck’s retaliation/reveal that they’ve been nothing but a bunch of lowbrow Truman Burbanks to an unfeeling deity their entire lives. The most recent Destivorce is because Dean has constantly been pushing Cas away and severing their ties to cope with the situation. It’s bad throughout all of S15, but it’s especially worse towards the end when Dean is rampant on Jack’s suicide bomb plan happening for a chance at freedom. I’ve seen a LOT of people say that Dean’s love is conditional because of this, but it really…isn’t.

If Dean never cared about Jack, he’d never take time out of his life to spend some final moments with him, or share a specific father/son memory with him to indirectly communicate that he does see Jack as a son, but ultimately doesn’t feel like he deserves to be a father. If he truly felt that Jack “wasn’t family,” he wouldn’t have shown any of the concern for Jack that he did after Jack detonated in the Empty (frantically demanding to know if he’s alive and to bring him back); he wouldn’t have tried to apologize to Jack for hearing it, and he wouldn’t have *checks transcript* reacted in mild horror at Jack agreeing with what he said (and personally, if I’m insulting someone, I would want them to feel the same way that I feel).

Additionally, If Dean’s love is conditional, particularly on the basis of how useful someone is to him, then he wouldn’t have been expecting Jack to come back home with them or considering buying him actual gifts (a flat screen TV and a recliner, specifically for his room in the Bunker I might add) for saving the world.

Out of all the problems S15 had, I think the pacing was the absolute worst. Too many plots and one-off characters and plot devices squeezed into a short amount of episodes; too much focus put into filler instead of plot progression, etc etc. But what it absolutely missed out on was granting any of the characters any proper closure. I think that’s why Dean’s conflict with Jack feels so unresolved and unredeemed. Dean gets mean -> Dean feels bad -> Dean gets nice again, but that’s about it. For now I tend to view his dynamic with Jack as them being two sides of the same coin: Dean feels like he doesn’t deserve to be a father figure to Jack after everything he did, and Jack feels like he doesn’t deserve to be a part of their family as a son after everything he did.

You know. I’ve been debating this for weeks now but I’m kind of upset with your decision to have a baby. You were one of my favorite Mewtwo artist but now it feels like you’re just throwing your fans to the side like we’re trash. Don’t we matter to you at all? We’re the reason you can even make anything on Patreon but now you’re going to leave us with an unfinished story? Way to make us fee appreciated and loved…

I'm so looking forward to iroh and zuko properly talking and seeing irohs reaction to zuko being gay.

Like we all know he doesn't agree with the fire nation rn but how will he react?

Will he not support him cause sokkas a guy? Will he not support him because it's SOKKA? Will he accept him? Will he reveal he's known for years zuko was gay?

Especially with everything that happened with zhao, regarding to what jee said to bato on their date. (Which is a very understandable perspective, zuko just got out of this very sexually traumatising situation and almost immediately starts a relationship (his first relationship) with sokka, but then again it is a very unique situation)

One thing I love about some atla fics is how they portray the FNs thoughts on queerness, cause on one hand they were one of the only country's (I think) that treated men and women the same but then again it's also the fucking fire nation.

And I also think zukos whole canon arc can be very comparative to queerness,

His dads an asshole and after speaking out against him he throws him out, and zuko try's for 3 years to regain his father's love and acceptance, and then faced with the opportunity of regaining it takes it immediately regardless of who or what he may hurt (iroh, his own morals etc) but once he makes it back home realises how fucked up everything is and eventually confronts his dad and openly tells him he doesn't agree with him then runs aways.

I also wonder if iroh secretly knows jee is queer it doesn't seem that likely to me but it also is iroh so who knows.

<3

I do think Iroh’s reaction will be a big moment for not only the story but for Zuko’s character development. Right now, Zuko’s technically still a prisoner, holding himself there by assuming Iroh will not understand or judge him when in reality he’ll never know what his uncle is thinking until they TALK ABOUT IT. (Which the FN royal family is just sooo good at healthy communication I don’t understand why this is so hard for them lol?!)

I do agree that the suddenness of the relationship combined with the intensity from both zuko and Sokka is very alarming for people looking at it from the outside (I mean we all totally get it cause we were there but others are like uhhhh hmmmm ok this might be concerning) so I get them gossiping and wondering if this is truly real or what the fucks going on with those boys.

I love Zukos canon arc because there’s just so much about zukos story that can be relatable no matter who you are and I think that’s why he is a fan favorite (it doesn’t explain why we torture him the way we do but ehhhh it’s fine haha)

Hmmmmmm does iroh know Jees gay? Depends on how saucy those music nights got ;)

I try to do a fair number of ask games, posting questions and polls, and sending out asks to people across the community. I want people to feel comfortable interacting!

That said, it’s a lot of work and I’m wondering if it’s getting annoying. There’s plenty of other well-known blogs that do little and still have lots of interaction.

Wondering if I should take a break and let people come to me if they want instead for a while 🤔

I know some people are shy, but doing outreach IS work too. If nothing else, thank your friends who do it on a regular basis 💜

Regarding your recent reblog of my DCA OC Polka...

Dude you're either too smart or I made it too obvious

My dear chicken friend, with all due respect,

You cannot simply write about a robot that’s somewhat connected to a murdered child and not expect a fan of the haunted robot franchise to immediately assume that said robot is haunted by the murdered child

Also that’s just the angstier option, and who in their right minds wouldn’t choose the angstier option?

(Not meant to be rude, it’s just, well, we’re in the sams fandom which is a subsection of the DCA fandom which is a subsection of the FNaF fandom, you know, child murder and haunted robots fandom, there’s a general story structure the stories from this fandom take and most of them involve dead kids haunting machines, don’t take the predictability as a failure just as something that comes naturally from the root game the ocs are centered around, yeah? Yeah)

i will never understand how people think Kent hates animals for what he said to Heroine after Kuro’s death.

let’s start with how after Kuro gets hit by the car Kent immediately takes control of the situation directing both her and the driver so Kuro can get to the vet quickly so he doesn’t die.

next what he says to the Herione isn’t him blaming her it’s him trying to help her by pointing out what she could’ve done/ can do in the future to prevent something like this happening again. Heroine actually agrees with kent she fully acknowledges that this happened due to her in proper care

Kent is coming form the perspective of learning form your mistakes and keywords here

Respecting kuro

the heroine right after this flash back realizes that Kent wasn’t acting maliciously and did care.

he quite literally feels guilty for Kuro’s death despite knowing it’s illogical.

he doesn’t hate animals or anything he’s just not a dog person.

Don't mind if I do

So far, this game is really well written, I can feel the love and attention that went into this game and it improves upon what I’ve come to expect from Pela and their game creation process.

The faux pixelated art style sets up a feeling that starkly differentiates “The Bloody Cultist” from both “Loveless Biker Boys” and “Wild Biker Boys”, making the player immediately immersed into the story that Ewwabug is trying to tell.

The music on the soundtrack was not specifically made for “The Bloody Cultist” but it might as well have been with how perfectly every single song fit with every single scene. In short, every song is a banger and is going into my personal playlists.

Even if the story at this point in time is not fully developed it is still very much alive and vibrant with what little the demo offers. It makes me very excited for the future of this game, and for the future of Pela’s work.

And now to my least favorite part: The criticisms.

The majority of my criticisms lay with the language, or whoever was beta reading the game. While I think it’s really exciting and refreshing that Sanya/Alex includes Russian words and phrases in his speech I feel there is a way to better and more cleaner way incorporate it into the text.

A couple of examples being listed above and how I would personally re-write it in the alt text. While I was reading through the game I felt like I was speaking with two golfballs in my cheeks, not a good sign.

A minor nitpick of mine being the raw pronunciations of the Russian words being slapped right into the text, it makes Sanya feel downplayed and weak. I hate to compare it to this but it feels like an Animal Crossing catchphrase rather then a phrase…

I feel this could be fixed just by adding the words how they are supposed to be written naturally and the dictionary be repurposed to provide the raw pronunciations but, hey, I’m no game developer nor someone who speaks Russian soo,,,

(Side note: Sorry it took me so long to play this game I was genuinely really depressed for a bit. Uhm, don’t expect me to draw anything soon, or at least nothing good for awhile. Sorry about that :(

I’m just now realising there’s so many cool p1eces on here that I don’t follow

[hawkzeyes]

why is everyone against bernard being the question guy wouldn’t it bring more to berdnard anyways

Mmm there are a lot of reasons personally for me! I’m gonna go ahead and say I’m incredibly biased and DC’s recent choices have my eye twitching.

1. Renee deserves to continue as The Question. DC has done this thing again, where an effective and exciting woman hero gets shifted backwards and we just lose all character development for no reason at all. This isn’t the first time DC has done this and it certainly won’t be the last time unfortunately. I’d like to see it fixed tbh and I’d like to see her back in the mask!

2. The Question seems to get just the title of a “conspiracy theorist” which is what I see B*tfam Stans using as a reason as apparently Bernard has had this trait, but that’s a huge misconception (mostly because of JLU love it though) sure he works with conspiracies but mostly because they are linked to corruption, which is really what he actually handles most of the time. Along with Renee! He just happens to be really cryptic about it, giving him that mysterious ‘crack pot’ vibe. That’s the purpose of The Question though. To go where the person behind the mask can’t, to stop the corruption at its core.

3. The DC comic verse has done enough sacrificing other characters for the b*tfam honest to god. Ppl are getting really tired of it. There has been plenty of this talk outside of the b*tfamily circle but it’s generally missed by them because they tend to stay in their circle. Which is totally fine! That’s their space, but the rest of the families/fandoms are irked. The way multiple characters have been altered and changed just to fit along that family is A LOT in the N52/Rebirth situation. The rest of the characters in DC are not responsible for Bernard being more interesting. If writers want him to be interesting they ought to just develop him as a person? Renee doesn’t deserve to lose the mantle because y’all want Tim’s boyfriend to be a cool conspiracy guy

4. If y’all want to see this, write fanfiction about it? That’s what fanfiction is for. What I don’t want is it being pushed at DC because A LOT of writers right now are waaaay too involved in fandom spaces rn (which I find highly unprofessional. Like I’m not saying you can’t be a fan, obviously I would prefer that, but starting fights with fans, beefing over Twitter, and using your power in these comic companies to run over others opinions and or steal ideas from fans is weird) and they do take from it. T*m T*ylor.

5. I think it would actually crush me to see Renee lose the mantle because of fandom space after Vic (who is one of my favorite characters) trusted her with it. The person who has it now respects Vic and the meaning behind the mask, because that very much matters when it comes to The Question, instead of just “lol conspiracies 🤪🤪”

6. If I remember correctly isn’t Vic back confusingly? With the whole Manhattan Flashpoint mess (please don’t ask me to explain I literally never understand the flashpoint LMFAOOO) So if Renee really is done with the mask… and Vic Sage is literally right there (I think) and about a million times better than Bernard would ever be at being The Question since he is literally the original, why should he? Bernard has literally done nothing to prove he would be better than either of these characters or has really done anything to show he deserves the mantle.

Do you have a blog specifically for your art? I understand supporting movements is important but at this point it just floods my entire for you page so I had to unfollow... I mean no disrespect but I don't think you should mix a few art pieces with a flood of politics.

First of all don’t tell me how to run my blog, this is my space. If you don’t like how I run it then you’re free to unfollow, I won’t take it personally.

Second of all, the political things I’m posting about are important. You’re telling me to stop reblogging stuff like KOSA (which, by the way, will destroy the internet) And Palestine (which is in the middle of mass genocide.

Third of all, an art blog is actually a good idea- I just don’t really have the motivation to go through and post all my art on there, and it’s easier to just tag it as my art.

I need everyone to know that I while haven’t posted a lot of nexo stuff proportional to how much I think about it, i think about it a lot.

It’s like a malicious hyperfixation which I spend 50% of my conscious hours thinking about it and it makes me stressed, because I’m trying to rewrite it but I’m struggle so much.

I have a notes page which has nearly 1000 words of me trying to nail down character concepts and I don’t even write down half the things I think about. I have things I want but I have no idea how to get to them in the plot. I have multiple ideas for how to start it but I don’t like any of them!

Anyways have some funny notes I put in my rewrite plan thing.
