while i do agree with the sentiment that bloodclan should be more nuanced as an entity i still believe it is wrong to portray them as the necessary "response" to clan injustice (haven't read the books in years but i am pretty sure that bloodclan started with no connection to the clans) / an opposition to the clan's flaws. some of the thing scourge did was out of selfishness and bloodclan isn't the other colour of the black and white debacle with the clans. the clans are heavily flawed yes, but it isn't realistic to completely say that their structure had no redeeming qualities altogether and that all outsider groups is fundamentally better than the clans.

all clans and groups are flawed in their own way and i believe we shouldnt brush past the things that other groups (the sisters and what they do with their toms *cough cough*) did solely to be able to degrade the clans and their culture.

Buddy, you're setting up a strawman. I promise you that if you look into the reduxes I've made of BloodClan, Guardians, The Sisters, and the Tribe, you will see that I don't make any of them a "flawless" alternative to Clan life.

Nor do I say that the Clans have no redeeming qualities. In fact, you can browse the "Clan Culture" tag to see the various expansions I've made to show how these traditions, values, and technological advances make Clan life so alluring.

The overarching theme of BB is that the nature of culture is change. For better AND for worse.

With respect, I think there's something insidious in the wording of "the things the other groups did." We're talking about fan responses to a work that consistently demonizes and degrades foreigners to make the Clans look like the "best way to live," justifying xenophobia. These are not real groups, they are writing choices.

In the franchise with some pretty extreme examples of misogyny, the authors said "What if bizarro world where women rule and have no men... woag..." and only includes a single Clan-alligned member of this culture, with a BAD opinion of them, who can't even do his diplomatic job because he HATES them so much.

In the same franchise that shows Fireheart getting bullied, facing prejudice, and fighting a murderous tyrant who publically executes a mixed-race character, their endgame villain is an outsider, like him, but this one IS a godless heathen who HATES love and friendship and banned families.

In the VERY same franchise which made its first non-malicious group barely able to get through an arc without needing to be saved by Clan cats, totally unable to defend themselves, framed as "whiny" for not wanting their clearly 'inferior' culture to be forcefully changed.

And I'm re-stating all this because, again, no offense to you in particular Anon, but I've been seeing a few people with a sentiment like yours lately. Complaints into a vacuum that don't make targeted critique of anyone's fanworks, gesturing at this broad "woobification" which is apparently out there somewhere over the rainbow, saying things like "well Scourge is selfish" or "well Moonlight abandoned her 13 year old" as if we haven't BEEN knew.

As if we're not all directly responding to these choices. As if I haven't written ESSAYS on this topic.

Since this was about BloodClan in particular though, and you admit you haven't read the books in years, please go back and actually read Rise of Scourge before trying to make critique of the ways fanon rewrites its origin. It's EXPLICITLY a response to the Clans, in the text, that the Erins wrote, it is canon that fanon is working with.

And you want people to take that out and approach it a different way... why? Because it's so incredulous to you that a nation forms in response to a threatening neighbor? That a common enemy through invasions is a way that people might choose to unite, and encourage their new culture to value brutality? Because you don't like the idea of Clan Culture's XENOPHOBIC BATTLE CULTURE affecting surrounding communities??

Could YOU, maybe, be doing this "woobification" thing I keep hearing about? Can I play this stupid game too? What's our stupid prize? Can it be a lollipop? Do we get stickers

TL;DR, ok.

... 😔 tumblr stole yellow from us 😔😔😔

But on the bright side!!-

Goodmorning and here, have some surprise F/O pictures XD

He is threatening you to have a good day. XD

Instead of making it available to Mobile Tumblr, they took yellow from everyone. They punished the whole class 😔

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything because I burst out laughing when I saw my name XDDD yes. Yes I would be in that position (and wouldn't mind it one bit *cough*)

Thank you so much!!! I hope your villainous F/O's threatens you to have a good day too! XD ^^

Except Otis. No threats from him for you. Nobody wants that guys threats 😅

i love that my low social battery day has consisted of occasionally checking tumblr and playing interactive fiction games on itch.io for hours with no background music or noise because i am Focusing.

Is there anywhere in the world you'd really like to visit someday?

short answer: anywhere that isn't hot and icky like texass

long answer: i haven't really thought of a specific answer to this question, i like traveling but its bc im not the kind of person whos content with staying in the same spot for a long ass time. i can't imagine myself going out the country though as i fear it'd be too overwhelming for my lil brain

[m4ndysk4nkovich]

you said your inbox is dry so let me share what i've been thinking about - imagine if mandy would've came back to the show and sandy would've been introduced earlier and they were just besties?? cousin besties, bad bitches; everyone knows you don't fuck with the milkovich girls. thoughts?

oh i love this ask!! also, i just realized while checking my inbox that you sent a really good long ask so im going to answer that asap💋

ummmmmmm so i definitely think that in the shameless universe that we know where both sandy and mandy exist, yes, they would be friends and i feel like they probably got along well growing up. HOWEVER, if mandy had come back they wouldn’t have even made sandy so idk

i wouldve liked for sandy to be introduced earlier, but i think that sandy’s character being introduced really all has to do with mickey because they were never really willing to make mandy a huge character. BUT, if she was introduced i feel like it would have to be like, mandy and lip are together and mandy takes lip/mandy goes to the milkovich house for advice on something or maybe just to get something, and then sandy would be there. maybe it’d be a scene kind of like sandy and mickey in 10x08???

i like that thought, though, and i would have loved for mandy and sandy to be in the show at the same time.

sorry this answer sucks ass LMAO
