…has anyone seen Che’nya?…

[arkitiore]

Anyone else on this website been watching The Curse? If so what in the fresh hell was that ending?

[ghost-bxrd]

Prompt:

Demigods edition!

Dick — son of Zeus or Aphrodite

Jason — son of Hades or Thanatos

Tim —son of Athena

Steph — daughter of Hermes

Duke — son of Apollo

And Bruce is a god who pretends to be human and accidentally keeps adopting demigod children, regardless of which deity he’s pissing off by doing so.

People on this website really trying to downplay the specific role of destiel in the events of November 5th 2020 ‘it could have been any other ship that went canon at that time and had the same effect’ no.

Nothing else is destiel.

Nothing else is 12 years and hundreds of episodes of extremely obvious and deliberate queerbaiting that was Vehemently denied by the production team. Nothing else is the ship about characters whose larger overarching plot is literally fighting against their own pre-determined narrative to attain free will. Nothing else proved in the 11th hour Just before the show ended that the meta narrative and queer reading by fans who insisted there was something there and who were constantly called crazy by the production and by other fans and by the rest of the internet were RIGHT.

The CW did market research! About whether to make it canon! In a show they always pretended was aimed primarily at middle (conservative) America!!!

The queer subtext was so Fucking Strong by the end of the show, because the writers constantly wrote themselves into corners that could Only be explained away by destiel, that they HAD to admit defeat and canonize it.

And THEN even after they made it canon, they denied it some more and tried to downplay it! But it happened! The angel is fucking gay!!!!

Destiel is THE great American queerbait and had been a staple of the culture of this site for over a decade before November 5 2020. There is a REASON it is the most popular ship on AO3. ‘The same thing would have happened if johnlock became canon or spirk or whatever else’ no it simply would not have because crucially CRUCIALLY those ships Never Became Canon! The fact that Destiel of all the popular queerbait slash ships of the past few decades somehow at long last DID, and in a way that Still refused to just let the shippers have it and allow any implication of full reciprocation and that the final two episodes and the entire cast absolutely refused to acknowledge in any way, is why the canonization of destiel is one of the wildest things to happen to fandom culture as a whole in recent memory, and you cannot theoretically remove the destiel of it all and have it be the same kind of event.

The reason november 5 happened like it did, why people started making jokes at all, is because the fandom cultural juggernaut that is destiel becoming canon is the only thing that could have possibly managed to trend above the U.S. election. BECAUSE it’s destiel.

AR Speaks OOC

Going to be real with you all for a bit.

I’m not even really on Che’nya’s page right now - I’m making this post from my main and just changing the poster.

To be honest, I’m a bit nervous to change to Che’nya’s. Because I can see I have over 50 notifications, but I know I actually have even more, because I had more that got marked as “read” even though I hadn’t dealt with them before logging off the last time I was on.

😱😱😱😱😱

And that may not be a lot to some of you, but for me, someone who tries to answer as many of you as I can… that’s a lot.

As much as I want to pop back onto Che’nya and see what chaos Che’nya can cause and see what mischief all of you have for me, that’s… a bit overwhelming for me right now.

I may just have to drop some reblog chains that were going on if I come back today, unfortunately.

I hope that would be okay with everyone?

I put so much energy into every one of my responses that even one usually takes a lot of time. Even looking for the proper gif I want to use for the situation can take up quite a bit of time for me. I’m a perfectionist by nature. And it doesn’t help that some gif’s that come up with some “cat” keywords are uhhhhh… yeah. 😳 So by the time I’ve responded to one notification, I’ve often gotten several more.

And yeah, a lot of them are likes and things I don’t need to respond to, but still. Because of how much effort I put into the responses, I often take small breaks to chat to people in DMs and on discord between responses so I don’t completely melt my brain. But that takes up even more time…

Which all combines to mean that being on Che’nya is often a several hour straight event for me.

And that’s honestly why I get so burnt out so quickly - why I often appear and then disappear for a while. Which doesn’t help the situation, of course.

So that’s why I’m posting this.

Because I think that’s just how I’m going to have to do this from now on. As much as I hate leaving people hanging, I’m just going to have to choose some chains to end in order to focus on more recent ones and hopefully manage my notifs better.

That way, I can feel better coming back with Che’nya and won’t disappear so often and so frequently. He likes to disappear, but not as often as he has been. 😅

I won’t be getting on Che’nya right after posting this, but I will check my blog later and look at this post to see the general response of people before looking at notifications.

And sorry to those I was having dm convos with - @blind0raven probably, as well as @castaway-achlys because since I haven’t been checking I haven’t gotten your messages.

But hey! Foxy!

Extra message for you from Che’nya under the cut! :D

I got bnnuy Deuce. Twice. Ima steal yo man if you don’t hurry the fuck up and confess to him, you chicken. 😼

[phoebelovingcare]

very tempted to design a humanized al-an, not as if it were a human au, but as if he needed to sneak his way into alterra space or something and so he full-metal-alchemisted himself a human vessel who is very normal yessiree.

weird mannerisms? oh, he'd been another survivor stranded on 4546b for a while, it's been a very long time since he's interacted with another hu- person, sorry.

strangely distant emotionally? he'd never been neurotypical, but the head trauma from the crash and the regular trauma of isolation could've definitely done a number.

can't balance on his own two feet? sector zero was so cold he'd opted to spend his many years on the planet completely underwater, so his inner ears might be a little messed up from the pressure. sometimes he wishes he wasn't a bipedal creature, haha!

just picturing robin thinking "his disguise fucking sucks and we are going to get killed /reference" and good ol Alan Manning, structural and civil engineer, just blending right in as just a somewhat eccentric guy using just the knowledge of how humans think from his time in robin's head, and it just Works because humans are so odd anyways that it seems perfectly plausible for him to just be Like That.

[homosherb]

is this anything?

[soccerpunching]

Him but he's watching them instead of a tree...

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

your biggest headcano about Apollo (RRverse and none) ?

I'll give you one each :3

RRVERSE APOLLO

At the time of the RRverse, Apollo's favorite brother is not who you may think it is.

I personally think his favorite brother is...Ares :3

Why? BECAUSE I SAY SO :D

also the Older/Younger bro potential here is just Perfection. Very excited for the fic I have for them <3

MYTH APOLLO

He is totally BFFs with;

Aphrodite

Persephone

Athena

You can't make him chose who is his #1 BFF (scratch that - Artemis holds that title. You can't make him chose his SECOND BFF). He adores all of them.

He and Aphrodite literally watched Ares and Hector tear people apart on the battlefield, probably drinking the Greek equivalent of mimosas and doing each other's hair! They are the hottest god and goddess respectively and absolutely know all the trends of Greece - like, have you SEEN the paintings, sculptures, and such of Apollo? HE IS A FASHIONISTA. AND THEY BOND OVER IT.

Also Apollo saved Aeneus, Aphrodite's son, so... :) They besties <3

He and Persephone hang out a lot in the springtime because that's when they BOTH return to Greece from Hyperborea/the Underworld! They exchange gossip (and do each other's hair) and silently judge the newest scandal on Olympus.

He and Athena bond over learning new things and crafts!!!! :D and doing each other hair (Athena is the goddess of weaving of course she can do hair!) They weave! They do pottery! Athena is self-conscious about her music ability but opens up a bit more around Apollo!!! They stayed cordial during the Trojan War! but their relationship did fray when Athena hid Troilus's murder from Apollo.

deadlines are dead

here’s something i found out recently! making deadlines for myself is holding me back; and it could be doing the same for you.

now, shifting has no time limit. you don’t have to shift within the next 3 days or before you get you masters degree in engineering.

you don’t need to manifest your ideal body type before meeting or talking to that one person you want to be with so badly.

there is no limit to anything you do. it is your world.

galatians 6:9 — Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

now i got caught up in deadlines since i was young. primarily because of school and my family. weekend visits with my dad, going out to eat w him on wednesdays and only being able to stay until 7/8 or else it would be a big deal.

your homework is due the next day? i scrambled to do it in class or on the way home so i could say “nope! i’m done with everything. can i play video games?”

there was always something that i had to do in order to do something else, or it always had to be done by a certain time or there was fighting, yelling and screaming.. the good news is — that isn’t the case with shifting or manifestation!

all you have to do is decide you want it, and you have it, and you’re going to get it.

it doesn’t matter when or how it just matters that it is.

i want you guys to take this into account. stop setting deadlines for yourself and start saying “i will get it.” don’t say when, i usually just say soon.

but the thing is, it will all happen and it will b great <3

i love u all!

from the beings of ares and abyss
