enough with shipping romantically and sexually we need more love for mutual casual annoyances. two people who come together just to consensually piss each other off and then move on with their day. friends with benefits but the benefit is just being pissed tf off. do u see the vision

I’m an outsider to the miraculous fandom, generally because of anxiety stuff but I have this silly little Felix idea I think you would really like. (Or maybe I’m just dumb and this has been done before)

So I’m a bit obsessed with flower symbolism, right? My favorite being roses. For Felix, (and sentis in general) I think the two types of blue roses are perfect symbolism.

1.) Classic Royal Blue Rose

I’m not sure how common this fact is, but bright blue roses aren’t real. They’re artificial. White Roses dyed blue. Symbolically, They represent royalty, mystery and that which is unobtainable. Theres also some folk lore that they can grant wishes.

2.) Genetically Altered “Blue” Roses

So, in the early 2000’s (coincidentally around when Adrien and Felix would have been born?) Scientists wanted to find a way to make “naturally” occurring blue roses. Their attempts to create these roses was technically successful, but they aren’t actually blue. They are more of a pinky-purple-blue, it’s a fairly wide range, but almost all of the photos of them that I’ve seen are either the color of Argos’ eyes or his skin.

So basically I think both types of “blue” roses serve as a baller senti allegory…..

Specifically, Colt Fathom would be the “scientist” in search of creating the elusive royal blue rose. Something that doesn’t occur in nature, representing desire (yk peacock miraculous moment) and what is unobtainable. Yet, all he manages to make is the mauve-colored blue rose, Felix.

Or, Alternatively, Adrien could be the Royal blue rose to Felix’s genetically altered rose.

Adrien was molded for mass appeal by his father, meant to be widely adored by the people. Like the genetically altered rose, it is artificial, but it’s also considered to be beautiful, elegant and desired. People want the royal blue rose, just as Emilie and Gabe wanted him.

Meanwhile, the genetically altered blue rose is lowkey…, a little disappointing? It’s not what people were hoping for. It’s not what people envision when they think of blue roses, because dude it’s fricken purple. In a way, that could be how bitchass Mr Fathom saw his son. Unnatural, but without the charms of the dyed royal blue rose.

Or, double alternatively,

Adrien is already kinda associated with red roses anyway. He’s constantly giving them to LB, season 5 ends with him and Mari kissing in Emilie’s red rose garden.

Which would give Felix symbolism rights to both kind of blue roses.

Imagining a kiss scene to parallel adrinette kiss where it’s Felix and Kagami sharing a kiss in a garden of blue roses. Artificial but still beautiful

Oh Anon you know exactly what to say to make me experience Thoughts and Feelings. Pictures for reference (Classic Royal Blue on the left, genetically altered on the right):

Look at this blue. It’s literally peacock blue. And damn if this isn’t Argos lilac I don’t know what is

I can definitely see the symbolism working both ways! Felix being a more vibrant, but also harsher version of Adrien’s soft hues… The royal/religious symbolism associated with this shade of blue specifically… It works so well…

But I love Classic Royal Blue Adrien and genetically altered Felix even more, for all the reasons you listed. What is a monster, if not a deviation from the norm? I think I’ve written Kagami going heart eyes over Argos’ more “inhuman” features enough for everyone to know how beautiful she would find it… 💜

SPEAKING OF KAGAMI. I think we could go on a whole tangent about her association with red roses and passion — how she couldn’t find it in Adrien and Mari but eventually did in Felix. They SHOULD kiss in a rose garden and they SHOULD make it everyone’s problem! 🌹

Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed.

No, I don't mean the multiple posts started as philosophical debates that somehow always end with a hard right turn into bigoted fearmongering talking points.

I only started frequenting Tumblr in May and I only come here for one ship from one show. I don't have the time to scroll that far back into everyone's blog. So that was a nasty surprise, but it just made my decision to block that much easier.

I didn't interact with that PSA because I'm the last person on earth who has the right to opine on this topic. I'm simply from a completely different world, who grew up speaking an entirely different language. I tend to shy away from discussions about racial relations in the western world, because while I'm not white, I'm not a minority either. Whatever I have to say will be wildly incomprehensible if not outright hated by every party involved, so you know what I do instead? I keep my mouth shut. It's not my struggle, it's not my fight, I'm happy to sit back and listen.

I do think there's merit in discussing the anglocentrism in language policing. There was a USC professor a couple years back who was suspended over saying a Mandarin filler word that sounded like a racial slur. I'm not a Mandarin speaker, but in my native language, the word for "this" sounds exactly like the n-word. If you come and demand me to stop using this word because it reminds you of a racial slur, I may judge you a little bit for thinking English is the only language in the world, but I'll also stop talking in my native language entirely around you because I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable.

Debating and having difficult conversations are the backbone of societal evolution, but there's a time and place for everything. Wait it out for a few days, start your own thread, use your own legit example of people actually falling victim to anglocentric language policing, make it a constructive discussion. Directly engaging with someone's moment of vulnerability using the exact language that hurt them, in the name of "logic and critical thinking" is just cruel and antagonistic. It serves nothing other than showcasing your perceived intellectual superiority.

This is the root of my disappointment. For someone who's been criticizing fellow shippers for stooping to toxic BoBs' level, who's been calling us out for throwing -isms left and right, who condemned us for painting all Buddie shippers in a broad stroke, who encouraged us to be kind to one another, she doesn't practice what she preaches.

I'm grateful for her kindness while I was struggling, maybe I just didn't get to experience the full scope of who she is because I consciously try to stay in my mostly uncontroversial niche as much as possible, but with the new information coming to light, this is not someone I want to be associated with.

The omegaverse is a made up thing that most of us are too ashamed to bring up in real life anyway. Using alternative phrasing because some folks in the fandom feel uncomfortable is the least I can do. It's not like they're asking me to stop using a very common and fundamental word in my language. If that's the case, then we'll talk.

re: WIPs, i have several sandman fics i'm working on and i'd like to finish. these are informed as much by (my opinions on) the spinoff comix and the actors' choices in the tv series as the original comix. also the neilman doesn't get any money from me having better opinions about the Corinthian and Rose Walker than he did back in the 90s (or now tbh). regarding the allegations - i believe the victims, i'm disinterested in any discourse that dismisses them or other women as liars in order to preserve this one man's fragile ego, and i don't want to materially support him via books or events or streaming. but i understand that some of my mutuals need to totally disengage from anything related to him. i'm fairly religious about my tags, so moots feel free to blacklist as needed and/or request specialized tags to avoid potential triggers. (this also extends to other things: if you need accommodations for specific tws, please ask.)

I don’t absolutely need large scale fandom to enjoy something even if it’s bad bc if im actually enjoying it that means there are parts that are good and I like. fandom is just where I’d wanna see those parts expanded on but ppl are usually too boring for that so idc

[awholeclxwn]

[nothing-nothing454545]

no, i dont think im obligated to still small talk an hour into my meet up with a friend group ive been a part of for 2 years, and i dont think im overreacting or showing a lack of loyalty when im unsatisfied with such a conversation. As someone who hates small talk, that friend group isn't for me, and i get nothing from it, and i will choose not to feel like a weirdo (derogatory) or a traitor (..because we didn't promise each other we'd be together forever afaik), for being unsatisfied and leaving. ive shown them affection (that i didnt fully feel) for as long as i could

[echoinggrimreaper]

text biased rp

heyoo, so i really fucking miss text biased rp. i used to do them a bunch back before tumblr removed the group chats feature and then i moved on to discord and i might get back into that tbh but basicity im making this blog to ask if any one would be down to do semi lit to lit rp ^-^

im down for oc and oc or oc and character or character and character. the fandoms im in atm and am down to rp for are

dc/batman (comics or mat reeves film specifically) 

xmen (movies or the evolutions series) 

resident evil (pref 2 or 6 but down for like aus)

slashers/ horror films (most clasic "typical horror" films ngl)

anyway yeah, if your down/interested in any rp of the above fandoms or wanna do oc and oc then comment on this post and I'll drop u a message

[watery-melon-baller]

bleugh im thinking about my survey again. currently i have 57 responses. 57 personal accounts/responses is a great number, plenty of replies. 57 answers that are meant to be a generalization of a fandom, specifically what they like/dislike is not so great. is it probably true that 39/57 (68.4) people saying lumity is their otp does represent the fandoms general opinion on lumity? yes, but 57 is still such a small number. sigh

Tagged by @smushedmuffin thanks for the tag!!

Here's a little get-to-know-you tag game

Name(s): Obsidian (currently. It might still change. Who knows)

Pronouns: it/its are what I prefer but a lot of people just outright refuse to use them so they/them is also fine

Star sign: Scorpio

# of siblings & fun facts about them (if you have any): I have 2 older siblings (they’re twins), 1 younger sibling, and I have a younger step brother (he’s younger than the younger sibling). 4/5 of us are queer! The only one not queer is one of the older siblings.

# of pets: I currently live with two dogs (they belong to not me) and I have a cat at my younger siblings house.

Fandoms: so many. Currently it’s just kpop in general and kinnporsche the series. I’m working on watching other BLs (with difficulty) so basically the BL fandom

Favorite color: purple

Favorite song: currently it’s “New Heroes” by Ten (of NCT/WayV)

Favorite author (of anything readable): Fanfic authors!! Just in general. They put in so much work for something that’s entirely free for me to read and I appreciate that so much!!

Hobbies: I’m like a junk drawer of hobbies. Crocheting (barely). Painting/drawing. Writing. Baking/cooking. The list goes on. I like hobbies but I’m really bad at sticking with them.

Favorite fic type: I might get canceled for this but I like reading age regression fanfic (NON SEXUAL FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST). I also enjoy a good hanahaki disease fic sometimes. 5+1 FICS GIVE ME LIFE. However, I’m really not opposed to reading anything. I draw the line at certain things but there’s very few tags that will deter me from reading a fic with a good description or for a pairing I love.

Favorite holiday: HALLOWEEN

Do you have any partner(s)? nope

Fun facts about you/anything extra you wanna share!

- I identify as agender and 2 of my siblings identify as nonbinary (one is more genderfluid and the other has no specific label) so the running joke is that one of them stole my gender.

- I have read fanfic out of pure curiosity (aka I wanted to know why the fuck something was a ship) and I regretted it every time yet I still haven’t learned.

- I’m notorious for reading dead dove fanfic bcs I’ll read the tags/description and think “it can’t be THAT bad” and it is. It’s always that bad. The dead dove tag says it all. I still haven’t learned. I do this every few months.

- Speaking of dead dove. I have a few comfort fics that are dead dove.

- I have a really hard time watching movies bcs they’re too long (if I’m at home I typically end up watching the movie while playing a game on my phone)

- my favourite desserts are lemon flavoured
