Here’s three more sets of my recently done pixels for more DRRPS I’m in. The first row is dubbed “Cartoonronpa”. As the title implies, 16 animated characters, anime/manga, and comic characters are placed in a Killing Game setting. Here’s the cast and their Ultimate Talents: Mickey Mouse- Ultimate Entertainer (Disney) [My character I’m playing] Molly Blyndeff- Ultimate Inscribed (Epithet Erased) Vagatha- Ultimate Hotel Manager (Hazbin Hotel) Dave Strider- Ultimate DJ/Time Traveler (Homestuck) Flicker- Ultimate Squire (Blazing Dragons) (Might update this later to fix, forgot the wings) Chalchiutlicue "Calamity"- Ultimate Aquamancer (No Evil) Equius Zahhak, Ultimate Robotician (Homestuck) Laura "X-23" Kinney- Former Ultimate Weapon (Marvel) Yasuna Oribe- Ultimate Survivor (Kill Me Baby) Katsuki Bakugou- Ultimate Pro-Hero!

It’s postponed at the moment, it hasn’t started at the moment. But the bottom row’s RP has started. That RP’s Kiwironpa: Rebirth. 18 people from different times and worlds noclip out of reality, and find themselves in the Backrooms, which holds not just deadly monsters that could kill them, but also a Killing Game. . . In this, none of the characters have Ultimates, but the general consensus is the same. The cast of this Killing game is: Zote (Hollow Knight) Chicken (Nuclear Throne) Sucrose (Genshin Impact) Kizuna Tomori (Danganronpa Another) Vanessa (Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach) [My character I’m playing] Dr. Drakken (Kim Possible) Albedo (Genshin Impact) Tsumugi Shirogane (Danganronpa V3) Dave Suss Moogus (VS Dave and Bambi) SCP-105/Iris Thompson (SCP Foundation) Captain Goomba (Mario) Scott C./Phone Guy (Five Nights At Freddy's) King Knight (Shovel Knight) Rin (Muse Dash) BMO (Adventure Time) Copen (Azure Striker Gunvolt) Amon (The Legend Of Korra) Cerebella (Skullgirls)

It’s recently start, and so far it’s been a blast lol. The last row is for a DRRP called Wagerronpa. 16 recently deceased participants, whether they remember dying or not, all find themselves in a casino in hell. And like other KGs, they’re told the age old mantra: Kill each other, and get away with it.

In defence of Abed x Annie.

Thanks to the magic of Netflix, I’ve rewatched Community at age 24, and still found Abed and Annie to have hit the heartstrings as much as I did when I was in high school watching the show for the first time.

But watching the series in its entirety just reinforces my thought that Abed and Annie had so much potential that was wasted, and it’s a shame that the writers planted all these seeds to only decide that perhaps this direction was not worth it / too risky / unfavoured by the audience. But I mean, Alison Brie herself (and I’m assuming Danny Pudi as well) endorsed them! Find here and here.

This was a pairing that with all the crumbs scattered throughout the show (I think we are all aware of these crumbs I speak of), could’ve easily played the “oh we’ve been secretly dating this whole time” trope during the last episode and it would’ve still made sense.

Naturally I did some scoping, and of course unsurprisingly the J.eff x Annie pairing takes the cake, while not a lot of love for Abed x Annie. So here are common points of contentions I see surrounding Abed and Annie, and my rationale on them.

Before I start, a note - I fully respect the J.eff x Annie ship and I don’t intend on starting a ship w.ar/debate. I understand where their support comes from! I just needed to vent because no one else in my social circle watches this show. No hate please.

1. Abed doesn’t see Annie romantically

I think on the contrary it’s been set up rather long ago that Abed at the very least is attracted to Annie.

Exhibit A: “What are you making” in Beginner Pottery

Exhibit B: “Flat B.utt and the one Abed wants to nail” in The Art of Discourse

This video basically explains it! The summary: Annie is Pierce’s favourite, Pierce constantly insults Britta, therefore Britta is flat b.utt.

Exhibit C: Not even trying to hide it in Accounting for Lawyers

But, a romantic interest has to be further built upon finding someone attractive right? There has to be intrigue to their character, such as

Exhibit D: “I can only connect to people through... movies” in English as a Second Language

youtube

It is pretty obvious here that Annie is a rare someone who has successfully broken the impartial screen that Abed filters everything through. Jeff saw it too which is why he said Annie was the ark of the covenant before Abed fell for her disney face. I can only imagine Abed to be quite struck with Annie’s infiltration.

A romantic interest should also share common interests, such as

Exhibit E: “Which makes Annie is my third favourite show” in Paranormal Parentage

I’ve said before that for Abed, a guy who lives life and communicates through comparing it with television and movies, it’s not unthinkable for him to be attracted to someone who genuinely watches his favourite shows and commits to roles during cosplay. And who, besides Troy, would fit this profile? Annie.

And finally, the biggest indicator of it all, we also see how Abed views the Jeff and Annie pairing in everyone’s favourite episode Remedial Chaos Theory. Keeping in mind that the timelines are rendered by Abed, out of all the timelines, J.eff and Annie only kis.sed when Abed left the room for pizza. As well, as conjured in Abed’s head, Evil Jeff and Evil Annie only existed as a couple in the Darkest Timeline. To me at least, it’s arguable that this alludes to Abed’s omniscient “director” standpoint that he may be the obstacle in the Jeff and Annie relationship - pointing towards him perhaps harbouring feelings for Annie.

2. Annie doesn’t see Abed romantically The general consensus on this point is that Annie is only attracted to Abed when he’s playing a character. I rather think that being attracted to someone, and being attracted to someone during role play, aren’t mutually exclusive. Let’s take a look at the different characters that Abed played.

Don Draper: serious, sophisticated, and smooth.

Han Solo: immature, flirty and a smarta.ss.

Batman: mysterious, complex, and brave.

Three different personas, yet Annie responded to all of them. Since the common denominator to all three is that they are played by Abed, I would like to offer a counterpoint that perhaps the attraction to Abed has always been there, it’s just emphasized when Abed plays a character. Who knows, role playing might even be Annie’s ki.nk. After all, during For a Few Paintballs More, it is shown that Annie is disappointed when Abed dropped the Han Solo persona after the battle ended.

Annie also loves big romantic gestures. Who’s better than doing that than Abed? Since the beginning, Abed has already been doing big romantic gestures of varying degrees for Annie. With this, it’s not ridiculous for Annie to see Abed as a romantic potential.

Exhibit F: Staying in a room for 26 hours in Social Psychology

Annie: You sat in a room for twenty-six straight hours. Didn’t that bother you? Abed: Yeah I was livid. Annie: Then why didn’t you leave? Abed: Because you asked me to stay and you said we were friends.

Exhibit G: Rescuing her from “captivity” and inviting her to move in in Remedial Chaos Theory and Studies in Modern Movement (even Troy was surprised at Abed’s invitation)

Exhibit H: Tearing down the Dreamatorium in Studies in Modern Movement

Annie: What about the Dreamatorium? Abed: Oh it's staying. The Dreamatorium is more important than any of us. But you're more important than our bedroom so we put the bunk bed in the blanket fort.

Bonus: Confirmed by Alison Brie

3. The show was about Jeff and Annie

Dan Harmon said that Community’s approach is that anything and any pairing is possible. We see this is as the series started with the classic “player vs smart snarky girl” trope with setting up Jeff and Britta as the main pairing. We also see Troy and Annie as the potential B couple in the show. The writers also threw Pierce and Shirley, Annie and Britta, Dean and Jeff, and even Chang and Britta in for a laugh.

And then the show subverted this all by introducing Jeff and Annie, and made Troy and Britta a couple, showing us that Community is a show that intends on breaking these classic sitcom stereotypes by experimenting with different pairings. Abed and Annie was no exception to this, as the writers often pair them up in different shenanigans and hint at possible grounds to explore*.

A few examples: Han and Leia in For a Few Paintballs More, Hector the Well Endowed and the Elf Maiden in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, spy partners in Modern Espionage.

No doubt that the show dabbled in and out of Jeff and Annie throughout the series. However, to say that Jeff and Annie was the primary pairing in the series would mean overlooking Jeff and Britta. Especially when Jeff and Britta have the whole love-hate dynamic, three(?) marriage close-calls, and emotional snippets such as helping Jeff reunite with his father in Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations.

Anyway, not to discredit Jeff and Annie, but knowing that the show explores the possibility of different pairings**, why write off Abed and Annie?

* Not to mention that the cop pairing in The Science of Illusion was originally written with Abed and Annie in mind! ** We also see a stray Abed and Britta during Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps.

4. Annie is in love with Jeff To keep this short and shipper-goggle free, Annie has said on numerous occasions that she’s in love with the idea of Jeff, not Jeff himself. Specifically this scene in Virtual Systems Analysis:

Abed as Annie: "…We love Jeff…" Annie: "No we don’t, we’re just in love with the idea of being loved. And if we can teach a guy like Jeff to do it, we’ll never be unloved, so we keep running the same scenario over and over hoping for a different result."

And this scene in Conventions of Space and Time:

Annie: All right, I may have been play-acting that we were married, and then the staff thought you were cheating, and I had to save face. Jeff: Do I have to worry about this? Annie: No, I was just daydreaming. I mean, I've married you at least a half a dozen times. And Troy. And Zac Efron.

Not to mention that their conversation in the finale says it all.

Jeff: I don't wanna be fine. I wanna be 25 and heading out into the world. I wanna fall asleep on a beach and be able to walk the next day, or stay up all night on accident. I wanna wear a white t-shirt without looking like I forgot to get dressed.* I want to be terrified of AIDS, I want to have an opinion about those, boring a.ss Marvel movies. And I want those opinions to be of any concern to the people making them. Annie: Well I want to live in the same home for more than a year, order wine without feeling nervous, have a resume full of crazy mistakes instead of crazy lies. I want stories and wisdom, perspective. I wanna have so much behind me I'm not a sl.ave to what's in front of me, especially those flavourless unremarkable Marvel movies.

*Shipper-goggle on: Part of me thinks this is a reference to Abed, whose iconic style almost exclusively comprises T-shirts. What Jeff is saying is that he wishes he is 25 again with his future open before him, someone who compatible with Annie, but here he acknowledges that he isn’t, and lets her go in the end.

5. Abed and Annie wouldn’t work as a couple Another point I see is that Abed and Annie are strictly platonic and are more like brother and sister. On the basis that they have made out a couple times and are attracted to each other, I would disagree with the sibling statement.

Troy, in contrast to Abed, I think actually resembles a more sibling-like relationship with Annie. Although Troy and Annie have the strong friendship of Abed and Annie, when disregarding the high school crush stage of season 1, their storylines never dwelled further down an attraction path, nor was there any specific episode that was dedicated to a deep dive of vulnerabilities and confrontation between them. As a comparison, Troy and Britta had opportunities to explore these setups (Troy admitted to lying about his b.utt stuff story and Troy helped Britta face Blade) - an indication that Troy and Britta were heading into non-platonic territory. Jeff and Britta too, had several opportunities to confront their feelings (up till the very last season), a clear indication of a non-platonic relationship.

For Abed and Annie, what I think pulls their friendship towards actual love interest potential is best pinpointed to Virtual Systems Analysis. Annie’s participation in the Dreamatorium prompted her to not only fully submerge into the way Abed thinks and comprehends his surroundings, but she also got to understand and address Abed’s stubbornness and flaws in a vulnerable way, confronting some of her own flaws as well.

Abed as Shirley: Your hospital school, young lady, is a simulation being run through a filter of other people's needs. Abed's been filtered out because nobody needs him. Annie: I need him!

And to point out this little tidbit in VCR Maintenance and Educational Publishing,

Annie: That's why Abed is like a brother to me. You guys are so alike. Abed: I can't accept that based on one time machine story.

This whole episode, instead of establishing Abed is like Annie’s brother, I would argue is rather doing the opposite. Abed and Annie’s hyper antics in the episode were basically matched by Anthony and Rachel’s blatant indifference and confusion. For lots of Abed and Annie supporters, this episode was a major setback. But I think it instead highlights how in-sync they are with each other, which is a good thing.

Another point, despite Annie trying to prove otherwise, Abed and Anthony had different vibes, and each shared different dynamics with Annie. And as Anthony pointed out in the end, who were Abed and Annie trying to replace in the apartment? Troy. The person who they are trying to fill is Troy - their roommate, their brother, their best friend. Troy was the brother role that neither Abed and Annie can fill for each other.

In Basic Sandwich, we get this exchange:

Abed: The point is, this show, Annie, it isn't just their show. This is our show, and it's not over. And the sooner we find that treasure, the faster the Jeff-Britta pilot falls apart. Annie: Got it. Thank you, Abed. Abed: You're welcome. I have a girlfriend. Annie: What? Abed: You were about to start a kiss lean. Annie: I was not.

Not only did Abed saw right through Annie’s anxiety and comforted her in his own uniquely Abed way, but he also felt the need to remind her of his girlfriend. The fact that he broke the fourth wall here is likely the writers’ way to be meta, but simply acknowledging the tension and bond there says a lot in between the lines. If tension does not exist, there would be no need for this line.

Besides, instead of thinking that they’re strictly platonic (which of course is also okay), they would rather work great as a couple. In terms of opposites attract, Annie grounds Abed with just the right amount, while Abed clearly encourages Annie to be her true self and be immature. Such as this scene in Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism,

Annie: I’m following him. Troy: You moving in here was supposed to tone us down!

Annie also doesn’t just tolerate Abed’s idiosyncrasies, she actually likes them and fully participates as multiple paintball games and cosplays would tell us. Special shoutout to the missing lovers footage in Wedding Videography, which through Britta, actually shows us that Annie is the only one who would go along with Abed’s projects - while Britta found the project extremely weird and unhealthy, Annie thought it was fun and commits well to her role.

And while others may tiptoe around Abed, Annie isn’t afraid to call Abed out when he’s out of line and makes a point to teach him about empathy in Virtual Systems Analysis. Remember that Britta tried teaching him this but it didn’t work as well.

I am Abed Nadir... And I don't know a lot of things everyone else knows. I wander the universe with my friend, Troy, doing whatever I want. Sometimes accidentally hurting innocent unremarkables. This week, however, Troy went to lunch and I adapted. I now have the ability to enter the minds of others using an elusive new technique known as "empathy".

As well as in the entire episode of Cooperative Polygraphy.

They also know each other best. Abed knew her cushion preferences, was the one who spelled out her true pas.sion for forensics, and after living together, Annie knew how to navigate Abed’s peculiarities and to soothe him whenever he had a nervous breakdown.

Annie also knows him so well that she can predict his reaction.

They are also each other’s exception. Annie was always the one who manages to pull Abed out of a trance and back to reality, usually with touch.

Abed is also very forgiving with her. An example is when Annie seemingly lost all common sense because she broke Abed’s special edition dvd in Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism.

Annie: Well, Batman, on behalf of all of us that aren't perfect, can I just say I'm sorry I broke your DVD? Abed: Apology accepted. But I wouldn't mention it to Abed. That guy's pretty ruthless. And that's coming from Batman.

And in Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas, Annie was the only claymation doll that didn’t have a weird form (except Troy as toy soldier of course). Annie was a ballerina because Abed sees her as a creature of grace. Abed was also the first one who got her “brighter tomorrow” diorama and responded with enthusiasm.

They are also in the same stage in life. As Dan Harmon explains the choice of Abed and Annie being the ones who leave the group, with Troy gone, Abed and Annie symbolize the many possibilities of the future - a possibility that makes them viable. I like to think Annie transfers to the LA FBI office after her internship and they reunite.

And as the Spice Girls said, “if you wanna be my love.r, you gotta get with my friends”. In Paleyfest, Dan Harmon says this about whoever Troy and Abed ends up dating, “I mean a woman that comes into either of their lives is either going to drive them apart or she's going to have to be really accepting of a very special relationship”.

Britta tolerated their friendship but to a point of asking Annie to distract Abed for alone time with Troy, Troy dumped the librarian as she called Abed weird, Robin disappeared, Rachel we never got to see much of, but was pretty quiet and separated from the group. From this, logically speaking, Annie would actually be the perfect match for Abed, as we all know they’re the ultimate trio within the study group and a transition from friends to more will be natural.

Oh, and, Abed is wrong. They’re not Chandler and Phoebe with little storylines together, they’re Chandler and Monica.

Anyway, that’s it for my super long rant/analysis. Community the series is done and over, so there isn’t a need for any ship war. All I want to say is, if #andamovie happens, hopefully, the writers will actually take a leap.

#abed x annie #community #annie x abed #abed nadir #annie edison #sorry if you've seen this already i'm trying to figure out why my tags won't work #mine #thoughts

Just went down the rabbit hole of Old Fanfic I Found on My Computer and...wow. Past me had so much passion for fixing canon by Making Characters Talk to Each Other Like Goddamned Grownups for Once.

Also, egad, so much ~*~yearning~*~. 😅

Anyway, I now present Fandoms I Wrote Fic for From About 2003 Onward:

BBC!Sherlock

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Doctor Who

Batman Beyond

Harry Potter

Weiss Kreuz

X/1999

Dragon Age

Final Fantasy VII, X

Sweeney Todd

Persona 3

Hellblazer

As someone who writes original novels now, I was really interested to see that:

a) I wrote a lot more third limited present tense POV than I remembered,

b) while most of these fics have their cringeworthy moments, they also still have sections I really like, and

c) a lot of what I learned from and enjoyed about writing fic has sneaked into my novels (snappy dialogue, slowburn romance, nuanced platonic relationships, FEELINGS, characters struggling to be honest with themselves and others).

Your turn, fanfic side of writeblr: What have you learned from writing fanfic that you’ve taken over to your original work and vice versa?

#fanfiction #fanfic #fanfiction authors #fandom #writeblr community #ngl I kinda want to post the Hellblazer and FFVII ones #also some of these still exist on AO3 just sayin'#some exist only on my hard drive and that is where they're staying

Representation In Media

From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. -Ernest Hemingway

When growing up I barely found many role models who talked like me, looked like me, or acted like me. I didn't see through representation until 6th grade. Granted that's better than many women, but they didn't come from your regular characters. The characters that had the most impact on me were cartoons. Cartoons like Fillmore, Total Drama, sixteen, and other numerous shows that turned me into the person I currently am: A headstrong goth, geeky, black, female. The showed representation of the role-models I wanted to become and who I am. I also started to understand how these groups in the media are portrayed.

BEING A BLACK FEMALE

One of the most interesting things I have observed (In my short period of life) is the change of how black women are shown in media. I remember learning in elementary school that my Afro or my braids were seen as messy or not seen as beautiful and so for a while I would resolve to straighten my hair. Then, in 7th grade, the way my natural hair was seen, changed. People started to see my coils and braids as desirable. My conclusion at this age was that famous celebrities started to wear their hair with pride. And how non-black or people not of color would wear it as a trend. Controversial but, that's what I saw as a young girl of color. I was confused because I was used to not seeing my hair in the media or girls with curvy builds. I wonder during that time period what did others see? I started to see shows with black supporting characters wearing curls. So what happened? When did my hair in mass media become a trend? This question and more became frequent in my middle school years. Of course, it wasn't like I never saw people who looked like me in media. I saw Beyonce, Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Minaj, and even Michelle Obama; but even though I saw them in real life how I saw them in movies, and social media I saw arguments from both sides. For example, In 5th grade, I had a project I had two people I wanted to be Mae C. Jemison and Michelle Obama. I chose Michelle because of how powerful and smart she is and how beautiful she was. However, I was surprised when I heard people called her "ugly" or how she "looked" like a man. I was distraught and hurt to hear my classmates and their parents saying such rude things about my role-model. I was distraught. I was used to hearing people in my community saying only good things about Mrs.Obama. I decided to let this go because I knew how I saw her. But, I wanted to know why people said that, after all, I never heard anyone saying such things about Jackie Kennedy or any first lady previously. This question of how black people are perceived in the media re-surfaced later in 8th grade. I was having a conversation in the car with my aunt. She asked when in movies how are black women seen in movies (when they aren't made to pander to the black community). Her friend said they are seen as loud, talkative, and hot-tempered. I thought about this. When I saw a movie with a black female they were always seen as the best friend. They were shown as smart; I saw them as the classic black girl stereotype. They tended to not be in high paying jobs, they shouted, they would curse, they would be lustful. Not, that there is anything wrong with this arch type in media they tend to add personality to a show or film. However, I rarely saw a black female in film or TV often stray from this. And shows kids in my generations see as revolutionary like That's So Raven would also fall back to this character type. Me being the nerd I am I had to also analyze cartoons as well. However, this is when my search became foggy and convoluted. Black female characters in cartoons were rare. This started a whole new discussion.

BLACK FEMALES IN CARTOONS

Hi, I am a cartoon addict. I admit it. Whether they be Japanese, French, Canadian, or American I love them. But, I rarely see myself in them. Even if Black female characters exist in a cartoon show, they are often voiced by the same person: Cree Summer. Look at your favorite shows with a black female: Rugrats, Bratz, Code name: Kids Next Door, Danny Phantom, The Proud Family, and etc. Look in the imdb I posted below.

It makes me think how rare they are. And I don't recall many shows with one of the lead characters being a black female. Maybe Keesha from Magic School bus, Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats, Susie Carmichael from Rugrats, Shana from Jem, Storm from X-men, or any black female in The Proud Family. Makes you think.

These are characters are so rare and often aren't seen in every episode. So to see a female of color in a show makes me want to watch just to see someone who looks like me. Which is why I ended up getting into the show Wakfu. Amalia is a woman of color and a princess. For anyone who likes adventure cartoons with a hero's quest I highly recommend Wakfu (watch it in the original language: French. It's so much better than any of the dubs). Amalia is a princess and a prominent leader in her kingdom: Sadida. Not only that she fights in battle with her friends and is a lead character. She's a great role model but, I didn't watch this as a younger kid but, a high schooler. Isn't it important as a child to see yourself in the shows you watch? This is why a character like Garnet is so important! Even if she is an alien, she is presented as a woman of color with an Afro. To see yourself in a show gives self-worth, confidence, and self-identity. SELF IDENTITY IN CHARACTERS

As I said earlier cartoons helped shape me as a person. I loved shows Like The Addams Family, the Munsters, and Sabrina The Teenage Witch. I do say cartoon characters like Raven from Teen Titans, Penny from the Proud Family, Nikki from Sixteen helped make the person I am. These characters ended up being the people I related to the most because they had the persona I was and still am. I am an edgy teen who loves candelabras like Raven. I am a try hard like Penny. And I sound like Nikki vocal and speech pattern-wise. These cartoon characters were who I ended up identified with not my role-models, not the stereotypical characters in movies or TV. I liked cartoons, I liked Sam from Danny Phantom because she was funny, caring, and headstrong. As kids grow up (including me now) we must find people we want to be who we connect to. They don’t need to be found in a history book they can be a man-made creation like a cartoon. A cartoon was made for somebody, so enjoy them. If you find someone you identify with it will tell you more about yourself then you may realize. For example how I entered the Gothic community was through TV and literature and then I researched stumbled upon the music this sub-culture loves and I fell in love with it. It started with Morticia Addams Sam, Gwen, and Raven; this ended with me becoming what I loved.

CONCLUSION

So, the importance of variety in media is important. Not just cartoons; you should want to see yourself in media and there is nothing wrong with identifying with characters. It’s okay to want to be represented in media. A show like The Boondocks is revolutionary, Michiko & Hatchin are important, shows like American Dragon are important, movies like Crazy Rich Asians are important because they represent YOU. They are society. Not everyone is a mainstream, heterosexual, cis-gendered, male (If you are that’s pretty neat!), so the representation of YOU is important in media. I’m glad people love my hair and I see it in films and other mass media. I am happy I see bisexuals in TV shows like because I feel less stigmatized when I see bisexual on the screen( if you didn’t know Eleanor is a bisexual). I am happy to see me in the media and I am happy to see YOU in the media. Representation in the media is important.

Rules: tag some people you’d like to get to know better

Tagged by @silentspectres a good friend of mine :3c

Top 3 Ships: that’s a tough one for sure. Right now I’d probably say Trevor x Sypha from Castlevania, Yusuke x Joker from Persona 5 and The Inquisitor x Dorian from Dragon Age. My favorites change all the time so this was hard

Last Song: Ghost - Au/Ra x Alan Walker I relate a bit too much to this one honestly

Last Movie: Mine was Inhuman Kiss as well. Honestly I highly recommend. It was very entertaining and had me very emotional at times. I was hooked honestly. Plus the characters were great :3

What I’m reading: Right now I’m starting Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights. I’m super excited for the set up of Dragon Age 4. Dragon Age is my current hyper fixation so :3c

What I’m craving: Honestly a hug. Maybe to cuddle. I miss human contact and affection :c

Tagging my friend @misterlawyerdude and my brother @rhinotherivet because why not :3c

#fun post #castlevania #dragon age #persona 5 #ghost au/ra #inhuman kiss #serious tho #the movie was so good #anyone who sees this do give it a watch #its subbed but still #good movie #:3

Setsubou no Freesia (Longing Freesia) - Daizystripper (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL ED2)* I’ll be completely honest, this song has been my favorite anime theme over most, if not all others, ever since. It’s kinda held a special place in my heart as it’s got memories of what transpired during 2012 that i don’t think i’ll ever forget.

Abuse (TW for P-do and other heavy topics)

Fiction leads to abuse? People groom with Lo/i and Shot@ p0rn?

Let’s talk about how my abuser- we’ll call him Alaska- groomed me. Let’s talk about how Predator found me and pushed me to give him pictures and videos of himself while making me feel trapped and threatening suicide if I left.

I was 13/14, he was 18.

And I was heavily into Hetalia- for your information the rating of hetalia is Mature - 17, aka its for adults- and roleplaying. I used deviant art. I also was highly into helping people with their issues and mediating- hasn’t changed much has it- and you know what.

It wasn’t the inc-st ships, the r-pe fics or anything like that he used. No, he used my ability to write in roleplaying- complimenting my OC/persona- he used my willingness to help. He used my love for Hetalia, away from my fictional preferences.

He used my willingness to write smut at that age.

But the shit people call CP. Adult/Minor ships, In-est, Ra-e, Literal Ped-phili- in fiction.

Nope. He didn’t even know. And you know why I thought it was okay?

Not twilight. Not the dark fic I read to cope with my family, sexuality and with my own intrusive thoughts and widely continuing nightmares.

Oh it was because he made me feel better. My want to help? He used that to make me feel like I was smart. Like I could do more.

Then when I was dating him, he started threatening to hack me and my friends.

Want to know the things I could say I blame for my abuse?

Deviantart Chats. Hetalia. Roleplaying. Helping people out.

What I actually blame?

The owner of the server, who encouraged me to seek the relationship (though it wasn’t gay so it was disgusting). The rampant antism and elitism that I was pressured into. I already read that stuff going into the chat, but I was made to feel disgusting and awful, to the point where the owner actually said Anton who read what I did, deserved to be hurt. (Hahaha I was, you also abusive piece of sh-t 21 y/o).

I blame Alaska most of all. He used me, threatened me. Threatened my- now ex who also was abusive- boyfriend, two years after I blocked him the first time. Also faking a gunshot to himself and acting like he forgot we broke up from it. (I checked the news in his country when he mentioned he was shot by someone).

Wanna know who helped me escape that? People who liked Dark Fic. People who read r-pe. Inc-st. Abuse. Who roleplayed it. They helped me through it, helped me understand I didn’t deserve it.

Can fiction affect reality, yeah. It can. Can bad fic help someone be abused? Yeah, but it’s not the only thing, and bad fic can help others.

People who read bad fic aren’t fucking, abusers. And people who fucking are against that shit, can in fact encourage predators and shit.

It can be reversed, sure.

But antis, and anti antis, aren’t actually the full hallmark of what’s an abuser. Antis can fucking encourage abuse, sexu-l or otherwise.

I mean, I don’t have the receipts anymore, but I literally got anons on @victim-that-speaks about how I LOVED being r-ped by my dad. How they hoped I dated a MAP who r-ped my kid so I could call them non-offending. They said I was a fujo because of the r-pe, and that I must have enjoyed it.

1) As a kid, at 4, we (the system and I) were r-ped using Cannabis and Beer. Being drunk, and weed, are triggers to me because of it.

2) My father only made inappropriate comments about my s-x life and my body, he never touched me s-xually. If he touched me, it was to beat me.

3) I got that anon for saying that reducing attraction to why people r-pe ignores people like me who was attacked for just being there. It erases victims of opportunity and makes r-pe out to be about attraction. And that it was better to call them child m-lestors. I also mentioned how I wanted the criminal stigma to vanish so these people could see a therapist to help not act on their attraction, since- BIG FUCKING POINT- criminalizing it only means kids get killed after.

4) I believe I also got these because I said we shouldn’t criminalize teens/kids who have C/P made of them/take their own nudes. Not as a kid or an adult. It basically criminalizes who is supposed to be the victim. Just no.

5) I’m a trans man. I’m not a fujoshi, however I am a fudanshi. Do I read darkfic and shit because of my abuse? Probably. Does it mean I’m awful? Nope. I- as a survivor of multiple forms of abus e- do not need to be told that I deserve to be r-ped because later I read it.

6) I find it disgusting that I was told that I enjoyed it. Not only was I four- this was easy to search on my blog- I also mentioned how it upset me gravely. In fact, even if I had enjoyed it, I was a toddler. That portion of the asks, made me go throw up. Literally. I had to.

This came from antis. Along with the hope my mother and I suffer and get r-ped again (Both survivors), that I was a child m-lestor not actually a survivor (for 20 reblogs I was gaslit, yay), and various antis made fun of my “Please don’t message me” trigger, because I was heavily gaslit by several to the point where it caused a panic attack at the time.

I was mocked, put out on display, and torn to shreds.

There are nice antis who actually spoke to me, were understanding. They understand I have an issue with romanticization- personal issue- but don’t see the line where they do.

I do think fiction affects reality. I think it’s a reflection of society and therefore can strengthen societal bias, however the way to deal with it isn’t to delete all the problematic fiction, it would be to go out and fully educate people.

This kinda was a vent. I’m still not really an anti-anti/pro-shipper, only because I don’t like aligning myself either way in this discourse. I still can’t keep on topic.

Feel free to reblog. I’m not going to even deal with people who literally tell me I deserved to be hurt, I won’t look in the direction of people who think my point of, blaming the tool and not the user is alright.

I don’t actually want M/P discourse, it’s a heavily sore subject, makes me almost violently ill and I dissociate a lot during its mention. I have the tags blocked.

I’m not getting in debates on how my abuse happened, I’ve had years to deal with it.

Minors, don’t touch this post with a ten foot pole, I’m 21. I don’t need you to bother me on it, I don’t want to discuss sexual topics with yas.

To start off 2019 with some positivity, I'm going to make a list of things that I absolutely love and make me happy in my favourite shows, movies, books, games etc. Small things, big things, no particular rhyme or reason. It was surprisingly therapeutic. Feel free to reblog and add your own!

Zuko's character arc

Final Fantasy IV's world being just vague enough that it tickles my creative bone to expand on it

Kingdom Hearts I using original storylines for the Disney Worlds

That one panel in the Kingdom Hearts II manga where an almost-naked Pete carries Maleficent bridal style out of the collapsing tower

Research Update

It’s been a long time coming, but I am finally submitting my thesis next month! Thank you so much everyone for your patience and participation.

Continue below for title, acknowledgements, abstract, and table of contents.

Title: Virtual People: Human-Image Relationships in the Digital Age

Acknowledgements

A thesis is not written on one’s own. Although often a solitary endeavour, it is predicated upon a supportive network of family, friends, colleagues, and participants. I would first like to thank all of the Dragon Age fans on Tumblr who willingly gave of their time to participate in my research, both in person and over the Internet. They inspired me to undertake this work, and have been a continuous welcoming presence throughout my period of writing it up. Thank you for believing in me, and for entrusting me with your stories. I wish that I had been able to include all of them.

Abstract

Images are proliferating in the world at ever-increasing speeds. As digital media become ever more deeply intertwined with our everyday lives, so too do the many figured images – such as fictional characters and personae – that inhabit that media. Given the increasingly significant role that media play in shaping our sense of self, other, and world, what effect could these figured images have in our lives and, more broadly, the world? This thesis explores the influence that figured images can have through an ethnographic study of the relationships conducted with and through fictional characters among fans of the Dragon Age series of computer games who use Tumblr, an image-heavy social networking site. It takes as its point of departure the understanding that we each live in an image world – a phenomenal world within the globalised mediascape that is shaped by the particular concatenation of media products we consume – and asks: a) why do fans respond as if the computer-generated characters of Dragon Age are real? b) What effects do the relationships that fans develop with these characters have in their lives and identities? And c) How do these relationships orient fans in relation to the broader world?

Based on 14 months of participant observation on Tumblr, supplemented with an anonymous online survey, online interviews, and group meet-ups in six cities around the world, I argue that figured images can be powerful actants – what I am calling virtual people – in globe-spanning networks of images and humans. I argue that, rather than being mere vehicles for linguistic meaning, figured images evidence a form of agency that is virtually intersubjective in their address to the sociocorporeal perception of their beholders. Through this agency, images take an active and spontaneous role in people’s lives, opening new personal horizons, refiguring our perspectives on social issues, and testing our ethical positions. The result is that we may not be quite the same person, or inhabit quite the same world, after our engagement with figured images.
