#is there some new diskhorse?

Scenes when the "no clear priority in car development and on track strategy will most definitely win us the wcc" philosophy proves to be so successful you almost end up 3rd in constructors instead

Guess what time it is? Anti doomscroll (and anti diskhorse scroll) checkpoint time! Sit with me for a moment while we take some time to be grateful for the good parts of this digital world of ours:

Remember, if your feed doesn't spark joy or hope, you are well within your right to block/unfollow! It's okay to unwind, and subjecting yourself to random strangers' cruelty is unnecessary. It is okay to just exist and have fun with it. 💜

💅 pinkprlncesses Follow

🧟‍♀️ samuraishattered Follow op this is an incredibly fucked up and insensitive way to post about this. six people are dead. four of them are literal children. imagine losing a loved one and people are fucking memeing about it with supernatural. grow up. learn some fucking respect for the dead. this isn't just some quirky little fandom story like sharpie bath or whatever. these are real kids who had hopes and dreams and families and loved ones and now they are dead.

💅 pinkprlncesses Follow was it ever really that deep

🦴 trudycryme Follow New video about June July and Dysnomia Badmann's murders on the way! Special surprise at the end so stay tuned ;) Sponsored by Tender Lender <3

🦴 trudycryme Follow No fucking way

🩰 blood-and-books Follow wait, has anyone noticed that the accomplice in the bluecorp case and that 13 year old who killed her gfs parents and 2 random boys are half-sisters??

🍭 mera-duras-left-eyebrow Follow WAIT AND THEIR OLDEST SISTER HAD LINKS W/ BLUECORP TOO WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN

🪷 helloroses Follow does anyone remember how fucked up april may's career was. i rewatched pint-sized princesses after the news got out about her execution and like i know it was the 90s but what the fuck was going on there. it feels like a crime to watch it

🪷 helloroses Follow it's the same with her modelling career, why was she, a teenage girl, doing so many photoshoots where she was barely clothed. why did ad campaigns need all this

🦢 evilwomanenjoyer Follow why are we defending june july in 2018. she killed people. she murdered people. you are the same people who defend joe darke and dahlia hawthorne and matt engarde and fucking redd white. she took lives. where am i.

🐜 what-is-a-username420 Follow please learn about nuance and use your brain

🦢 evilwomanenjoyer Follow nuance is for fictional characters like pious priestess or whoever the fuck. not for real life situations like this.

🐜 what-is-a-username420 Follow sometimes im like "the reading comprehension on this site isnt THAT bad" and then i read shit like "nuance is for fiction not for real life"

🦴 trudycryme Follow I am truly, truly sorry for attempting to film those teenagers corpses and for breaking into the victims childhood home in an attempt to interview his family 2 days after the murder, I understand why I was wrong and I'm going to try my best to refrain from doing stuff like that next time lol. To further this, I'm starting a new merch collection and donating 20% of profits to JAVCV (Japanifornian Association for Victims of Violent Crime), buy it before the sale ends on March 4th!

🧟‍♀️ samuraishattered Follow not to be harsh but i hope you die

🌈 godsstrongestfujo Follow i think april may was a genuinely a bad person like she was just this rich woman who both did the modelling campaign + assisted in the murder to get money from her sugar daddy. shes not as innocent as yall make her out to be she just has pretty privelege

🍁 diskhorse-divorce Follow 1. she was not rich. she, her single mother, and sister were homeless for years. she had to be a child star and teen model to provide for herself and her family. they lived in a trailer at some point 2. she was very obviously being threatened by white. the courts said it was a lie because of fucking misogyny and white's power over her. 3. even if she did do it out of her own free will she still got executed over a crime where the death penalty at age 23 was not justified. 4. why are you calling a thirteen year old a bad person for doing an ad campaign where she was being heavily sexualised and exploited and stolen from you fucking weirdo

🩰 angelfawns Follow april may was such a tragic girl and an icon and so beautiful omg. she looked SO good during the summer 2008 ad campaign for bluecorp too. hold on i need to change my pfp

🐦‍⬛ proud-edgelord Follow if my parents named me teylhoure i wouldve killed myself too

[gascon-en-exil]

What are your thoughts on the "Humanity, fuck yeah" trope? I feel like a good chunk of the Edelwank and 3 horses diskhorse could be blamed on this.

It's a position conveniently without any real-world applicability, and so basically meaningless. It doesn't even work as a serious anti-religion position, here or in other games that use similar tropes, because real-world religions don't rely on their deities being tangibly real and granting people observable magical powers.

Because they don't actually exist, dragons in fantasy typically represent something - at least when they're not there just to be giant monsters you slay for a shiny new pair of pants or whatever. Tolkien associates them with the evils of industry, George R.R. Martin uses them as an extension of the Targaryen drive to conquest, the Warcraft universe writers basically treat them like Tolkien elves but (usually) sexier...and then we come to FE where many dragons also have a certain sex appeal (most often lolis) although they more often serve as clumsy stand-ins for racialized Others: Elibe is about humans and dragons learning to live together in peace in spite of past aggression, Tellius builds its entire story around the racial metaphor for its demihuman shapeshifters, and even the dragonstone thing in Archanea could be read as the choice between preserving one's culture or assimilating into a dominant culture. It's clear that IS doesn't think these things through very deeply - I still point to Tellius as the most obvious case of that - and mostly uses these concepts as window dressing and as backstory for a bunch of endgame weapons, but it's all there, to some degree.

That's why the pro-humanity theming that allegedly exists in Three Houses comes with some uncomfortable racialized undertones that others have pointed out, and that just as often get fervently denied from multiple corners: it's not really a genocide because it's about religion/it's only three people/they're light-skinned, IS is colorist for sidelining all the brown human characters while making the light-skinned minority central to plot, the dragons are the real colonizers actually, etc. While there might be one or two valid points in there (particularly about the colorism), it's also obvious that IS flatly does not care. The next mainline game stars a dragon (again) and uses variations on a god complex fetish for its primary dating sim hook, just as Three Houses uses teacher-student relationships and Fates uses pseudo-incest.

[stardustedknuckles]

everytime new M9 content comes out im like happy but like also... bracing? like, that campaign gave me the highest highs, but also the lowest, lowest...lowest lows.... by far, in terms of fan diskhorse... some of it may easy to quench (qbait bj/by) knowing how it ends, but.... yeah im very nervous of watching some of these giant terrible diskhorse power users rise again

Fuck em! I'm not letting that possibility ruin a second of this for me. Bad faith watchers are not part of this conversation. This is a space for joy.

[maxemilianverstappen]

Fanfic Trope Anon, I got your ask.

I am not a popular blog and I never tag my diskhorse in a way it would appear on major tags; so, I would like to say a few things about the subject you brought up on small dick and feminization tropes applied to Max being very popular in fanfiction, but I will put it under a read more to spare people.

We all have different kinks and you can have yours and I can have mine and it is none of our business to judge the other for having these kinks, but lately, small dick Max/omega Max/feminized Max is so popular that it makes me question what can be the allure of it. (Seb also is quietly getting the same treatment and unsurprisingly the other side of the coin is L/ewis and M/ark, which I would also talk about the dynamics of, but our subject matter is Max.)

In the past, I saw many posts about how not liking L/ewis' fashion sense and criticising it was a form of emasculating him. Some of the points those posts made were quite on point and even though I don't like the guy, trying to emasculate a guy who identifies as male/masculine thru his fashion choices had sounded very cruel and made me angry on his behalf.

Fast forward to today... I have been a part of this fandom's fanfic side since 2018. I have read the biggest ship tags from start to finish. I have looked at the most used and post popular tags since then and until M*xiel became a thing, A/BO wasn't at all popular in the fandom and until those Max in swimsuit/sports shorts pics surfaced and Max became a serious WDC contender, there wasn't much feminization or small dick fics around either. Not just about him, in general. But slowly, especially due to some prominent M*xiel writers' influence, omega Max/pregnant and lactating Max/small dick Max/feminized Max became extremely popular and L/ewis and C/harles fans took it from there.

I used to read M*xiel a lot back when the ship tag wasn't infested with the above kinks and back when I thought the writers of it liked both D/aniel and Max equally. Then I realized most famous Tumblr bloggers and M*xiel writers were actually just D/aniel fans and using Max as his adjacent because he gave them the "shippy" material and diskhorse they needed to get their creative juices going, like abused by his dad Max, like depressed Max, like asshole Max, like Max who is just a loser in life Max... Okay. I understand these tropes really lend themselves to quite dramatic fics, alright, whatever floats ppl's boats as long as their knight in shining armor, sunshine personified D/aniel can step in and teach Max some humanity and love and yada yada. I'm a writer, I can see the allure of this. If i was shipping it, I might also have written a grand dramatic fic around these tropes. But what I hate about this shit is that it shaped the way most new fans' perception of Max.

When people rightfully say that D/TS and fanfiction shape the F1mblr's perception of reality and moral standards, I agree. Max being written as a person who is "not whole/defected/in need of saving/a machine/an asshole/a terrorist" had created this "perception" of Max that some ppl must be finding appealing to deconstruct in the worst way possible.

Like, we see a male/masculine identifying guy who looks quite though, broad, tall, who is actually self satisfied, complete, strong and uncaring of what others think of him, who has built his personality around his own ideals and beliefs and wants instead of caring about how he is perceived by others. He looks like such a character, isn't he? The way he is satisfied with himself, is in peace with himself is making his haters crazy.

I know there is a certain allure to deconstructing a guy who is stereotyped as an "alpha" into a much more human, much more real person than the "trope-y" version of how the majority of the fans perceive him as, as I am fond of doing it with Kimi, but this really feels different with Max and Seb.

Look, I don't think I am the best writer out there, but taking a guy from the confines of one stereotype just to put him into another, then it looks both cheap and unserious and ridiculous if the aim is just to subvert the possible tropes that might be attached onto a guy like Max....

If the aim is just to sexualize him in ways that depict him as a feminized person, an omega person or a person with a small dick, just to really enjoy the said kinks/tropes... Then, well... Yknmk, but why, really?

Is it due to some people's need to emasculate him? ( Why the criticism against the fashion sense of one guy was such a huge deal enough to be called emasculation but when we question the emerging popularity of these particular tropes about another guy we are ridiculed and even being lashed upon with such a defensive force as if they're defending their lives?) To strip him of his power on the track/as the top athlete of his field? To make their chosen blorbo to shine through?

I enjoy writing abo fics, too, but from a gender studies perspective, we must all agree that it is absolutely fucked up and only serves as another reminder of gender inequality and sexual violence. So, it must be cathartic to write about a normally very broad and alpha male looking kinda guy as some lactating needy weak omega who needs the cock of his rival to feel complete/to find real happiness/etc? The dynamics at play here is really strange. I have read stuff about r*pe fantasy/o/mega heat/a/lpha rut situations serving as a liberator from the guilt of having wild sex full of pleasure, etc. And i get the allure, but I look at the Max omega fics and all I see is traditional femaleness expected by the society being forced upon a guy. And the guy liking it a lot while the writers and the readers are talking about misogyny and feminism and yada yada on the side. Feminization, too. I enjoy the occasional lingerie wearing guy image in the fics, but Max enjoying female lingerie while being verbally degraded and used sexually by his rivals and being happy about it and even seeking it out is a theme i see quite a lot.

I mean, this thing started to turn up as a major tag in AO/3 recently. And it's always Max or Seb, or L/ando... Three of the most hated guys of the fandom for some reason huh... And always with the people who are their rivals for some reason.

Toxic ships are a thing and ppl enjoy them for whatever reason, yeah. But nobody can deny that their popularity skyrocketed with the D/TS and with the new influx of fans. Yeah, liking toxic ships don't reflect what you actually like in a real life relationship, true. But it is very interesting how popular these hate ships have become in recent years as ppl found more about M*rtian, Br*cedes, S*wis (which funnily evolved itself into a flower ship thanks to its delusional fans) and recently latched onto whatever L/ewis and Max are called as ship.

Always Max is the one having these kinks latched onto him. Writing him as a top/switch in a healthy and normal way brings in less comments and kudoeses i guess. I have even been confronted about how I can not like omega Max and how i can even think of max as an alpha male.

Going deeper into these waters might even get one be called as a T*rf, lol. Yeah, for example, not wanting to see my fav treated in the way almost all the female population has been fighting against deserves being called that name. Or not liking a small dick Max or Seb being used by L/ewis or C/harles... What kind of an itch does that scratch I wonder. Genuinely.

And let me say that for anyone who has read this till here, this is not an invitation to come to my inbox and spew shit at me just because i try to understand why the fandom likes certain shit in conjunction to certain drivers and what it reflects about the actual state of mind of the said people. I'm not trying to start shit here. I will block anyone who tries to, though.

[jaybarou]

damn I was scrolling through the Ethersea tag (because I am listening now for the first time) and I found a weird comment and I fell down the rabbit hole of diskhorse aka fandom wank

People really dogpile on someone for being a bit annoying and have no shame destroying them for the crime of not being parangon of perfection

It's old news and the dust has settled by now I think, but it is very easy to find. All that hate is now out there forever, and this person will be residually hated no matter what he does. Some days I really think we should prevent mobs from forming somehow.

[astermacguffin]

Obviously I would prefer if there were no stupid DiskHorse in any fandom, but I would always infinitely prefer fandoms where the wank are varied and Spicy™ over fandoms where the DiskHorse just repeats again and again. Like, where's the Flavour? This is just the same wank again.

[kevin-the-bruyne]

A few random announcements. Please read if you interact with me on some level:

1) done with my PhD weeeeeeeeeeeee

2) extremely tired so fandom things are starting back up slowly but they are starting backup (this means fic lol)

3) I don’t have tumblr messages...like for at least 3 months so if I’ve been ignoring you it’s because of that lmao...I don’t know how to fix this but @mr-iskender insists I must contact tumblr support

4) if you need my attention just go on your rooftop and do a bird call with my username (@ me in a post or reply to my posts like the prehistoric tumblr fanmail days)

5) Wenzhou/Junzhe are still my main but I am quite taken with Cutie Pie and Vice Captain of the Hia Lian defense squad (captain being New/Kuea obv) - so like unfollow accordingly because I’m not welcoming diskhorse about this show

[laufire]

I woke up with a killer headache so idk when I’ll watch the latest episode, but I’m seeing the fandom diskhorse(TM) and I just had to get a few things off my chest.

First of all, the whole “Clarke is the only one that makes tough choices” take has always baffled me, for multiple reasons (including that it’s incompatible with the bullshit “I had no choice!!” mantra. But mostly that it’s blatantly untrue on all accounts, “only one” and “tough” xD), but this is especially glaring when it comes to people bitching about Raven taking issue with Clarke’s choices in s5. Like. What the hell was “tough” about Clarke’s choices there??

killing, and attempting to/handling people over to be killed or tortured, including Raven and three people she cared about, all to ostentably protect ONE precious child (I say ostentably because it’s more and more obvious that Clarke only sees Madi as an extension of herself and I feel sorry for the poor kid tbh), when there are multiple methods she could’ve taken that did NOT need any of that. or when she didn’t exactly seem conflicted over any of it xDD

immediately torturing and abusing said precious child because she doesn’t agree with her. I’m seriously waiting for a take on this by Clarke stans, I have yet to see one. It’s all deflecting/pretending it didn’t happen for them. Let’s all remember that Abby did the same to Raven AND that Raven clearly made that connection herself when she was FREEING MADI FROM A TORTURE DEVICE HER MOTHER FIGURE PUT ON HER.

being too stupid or too slow to do the one thing she’s moderately good at and shoot McCreary (someone she allied herself with because?? of reasons?? Despite the fact that he couldn’t more obviously be the Worst Choice(TM) --AND clearly someone who wasn’t going to gaf about helping the precious child that Clarke supposedly cares so much about--. I luffed him but c’mon xD) in the head before he could blow up the planet. Which indirectly caused Monty and Harper’s deaths to occur away from the rest of spacekru, btw.

Like. Seriously. Please tell me what was so hard about Clarke’s choices in s5. I’m waiting xD. Especially in comparison to the plot of 7x03, for what it sounds.

But also... Raven DOES know what it’s like to make hard choices for the sake of the majority? The s4 and s5 finales are right there. So is her handling of medicine in s4, or going along with Echo’s plan, even if reluctantly, in s5. And ikely others I’m not thinking of rn. This new thing feels like a way to appease and capitalize on the frankly illogical and biased take of some fans in s6. Maybe I’m wrong and it’ll feel like a ~natural progression/well-handled when I watch the episode, but the choice itself makes me RME.

It IS a new storyline for Raven, and for that alone I’m excited at this point (the whole “Memori manager” thing was botherin me tbh). I hope it is about Raven herself, that it serves her ending in some way, and that it veers from simple appeasing into something interesting soon, with Raven & the anomaly or something like that. And that it’s not all about her ~angst because there’s nothing I hate more than masturbatory guilt ngl xD

[naernon]

for the ask meme (TES, obvs): 3,9, 13 (for naemon), 23!

thank you!! i wrote this all last night and i havent checked for coherency or errors so forgive me if it’s a bit scatterbrained at times (although yall should be used to incoherency coming from me ghhgfg.)

____

3.) Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

someone said that they didn’t like serana and i was already sitting on the decision to unfollow them for other reasons and that. that was just the Final Straw.

but i think that’s it…? im so petty + impulsive (deadly combo) at times that maybe i did unfollow over a TES opinion another time but i can’t remember hgufuhfhxdfh

9.) Most disliked character(s)? Why?

OOF this is a hard one, ill list the ones that come to mind rn;

molag bal. needs no explanation

darren guitar or whatever his name is. im sorry to anyone who likes him but i just.. can’t. he’s so obnoxious. he was toned down in summerset, probably because different people were writing him if i had to guess but in the main and daggerfall covenant questline? awful. his goddamn womanizing jokes at every second of the day was “kim, there’s people that are dying” at its finest.literally one or two “haha ladies amirite fellow man ;)/haha ladies amirite……… lady ;)” jokes can be.. bearable albeit still annoying but there was so much more than that. or they were so obnoxiously written that it seemed to be more frequent than in actuality, either way, darren guitar? 0/10also my view of him hasnt gotten better since someone sent me a rude ask about how darren had more personality than prince naemon in-game due to me joking about how i don’t like him and then subsequently blocked me for being irritated about the rudeness of the ask + the fact that im 99% sure they were the anon that appeared in my fucking inbox defending darren guitar every single time i breathed a single word about him

i completely forgot he existed until you listed him as disliked and now i hate him even more. that fucking. bard from the bannered mare. the one that harassed carlotta until you told him to fuck off. i hate that dude. always have

abnur tharn. mildly obnoxious with some amusing lines until you find out what he did to queen ayrenn like. small dick mannimarco joke is now renounced, little man. Perish.my view on Estre is Complicated because she’s a really neat character and villain and ranks as a favorite in the latter department but from like, a moral standpoint i loathe her.also while it wasn’t like. pelidil levels of shittiness i’m not fond of how she hurt naemon– but then again……. now that i think of it, i really don’t know what’d she COULD do other than keep him in the absolute dark until he inevitably gets caught up in the Shitshow otherwise. i wouldn’t suppose naemon to be 100% willing to join in her efforts or even keep completely quiet about them if she did decide to talk to him about it or let him know; and for all we know, she could’ve planned to do so eventually in some way– but the suddenness of the AD hero’s infiltration of the veiled heritance probably ruined any semblance of a plan she could’ve had. so on second thought, even from a “naemon is a perfect being and i will protect him with my life and loathe all who hurt him” standpoint, i don’t dislike her too much. let’s just reduce estre to like.. honorable mentions on my “disliked characters” list then lmao(also “moral standpoint” as if queen ayrenn is anything close to the pinnacle of absolute morality. estre is objectively worse on that front, though, so i suppose i still stand by that)

speaking of which i really… don’t like pelidil. again, moral standpoint. and “naemon is a perfect being and i will protect him with my life and loathe all who hurt him” standpoint. otherwise, he’s a neat villain and the quest in which you cut him down was one of the more impressive quests in the game IMO, or even in the entire game series. good build-up.

this is getting too long so i’ll cut it there, that’s all the characters that come to mind rn anyways hfhgdhg

____

10.) Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

hmmmmmm

i guess if you view it in such a way, liking him is kind of unpopular– while there’s still a lot of those who even if not actively talking about him as a character, have praised his character/took his side/whatever, there’s also a good amount who don’t. not really in considering him a poorly written character, but rather from a (sorry to bring this phrase up so much so far) moral standpoint.

also, considering him in a semi-unironic “he did nothing wrong” way, which i do, is kind of unpopular– and i can understand that, in some ways. i dont think him snapping at the scene of the orrery was under his 100% control nor was anything subsequent, but there’s still the fact that he still is in an “i deserve the throne, fuck off” mindset in coldharbour, which, unless he’s STILL affected by the mantle and/or the orrery, is obviously a negative change in viewpoint compared to the “i’ll swallow my bitterness and remain loyal to my sister and the dominion, she is the rightful queen and i am just her shadow” you saw prior.

granted, i’d argue that even then, you have to consider the influence that pelidil had over him prior (as some have accurately put it before– whispered poison into his ear). especially with the fact that naemon’s quite young for an elf at… 26? around that age-range. i dont think altmer’s minds work in the way that, say, hobbits do, in that they age slower and this includes their mental capability, decision-making, etc.. (they obviously don’t) BUT, compared to an elf with more experience, there’s a bit of an… imbalance there. pelidil WAS the one who served naemon instead of the other way around so you’d figure the opposite if anything, but again, naemon = impressionable and emotionally vulnerable at the time.

anyways, got off-topic; my point was that naemon, when you consider the influence that pelidil and any other secretly heritance people that interacted with him, even when you use the fact that he still seems “corrupted” in coldharbour to frame him as bad… that ain’t it. there’s also the fact that he is being tortured, at that moment. big part of it. he PROBABLY isn’t in the right state of mind, to put it simply. but then again, i mean, one could still argue a whole “cool motive, still murder” take on it, so whatever. i dont know man ghfghduhbdfg

YIKES i rambled, holy shit. sorry. but otherwise, i dont think i have too many? there’s not much in the prince naemon…. sub-fandom, at least not enough to be able to render one opinion as unpopular compared to the next

(and i. Guess that headcanoning him as trans definitely has the potential to be unpopular. but i dont really talk about it or “enforce” it much other than off-hand comments that might imply such, drawing him with top surgery scars, etc.. so it hasn’t exactly been given any room to be considered remotely unpopular. haven’t gotten anon hate, snide comments, etc.. about any of it at all so it’s cool. but i’ve brought it up because… you know how fandoms are; if there was more to the prince naemon “fandom”, theoretically, it would be and therefore kind of IS an unpopular opinion. “does your arm hurt from reaching cassius” ok look, i just felt like i needed to provide one more unpopular opinion about naemon and i couldn’t figure out any other than that. but yes. yes, hurts a little)

____

23.) Unpopular character you love?

unpopular as in commonly disliked, or unpopular in… amount of people that like them? with the latter, it’s def naemon. i love him with all my heart gfigufhgdugdfh but then again who didn’t know that

with the former… hm. the thing is a lot of characters disliked in this fandom are disliked with good reason IMO– nevermind. almalexia. not to open any #diskhorse wounds but almalexia’s one of them ghdfhguhg jot that down

and i’ve heard some talk that veya is kind of unpopular, what with the recent summerset developments? yeah, fuck that, veya’s one of my favorites. this fandom (or. any fandom lets be real) has an awful tendency to praise any goddamn male character’s flaws or “negative” depth as redeemable character complexity and something that can be looked past, and yet, you see even REMOTELY the same amount if not more character depth in a female character and they’re hated. pointing this out is nothing new but it’s truly just…. something to behold.

and on that note im just going to renounce my prior statement of “a lot of characters disliked in this fandom are disliked with good reason” that’s the dumbest shit i’ve ever said. or perhaps an addendum stating that it’s only applicable to male characters is more in order? or that it’s the opposite for male characters: liked with bad reason. or… liked with over-exaggerated reason disproportionate to the actual amount of depth, complexity, and/or likeability said character actually has, paired with hatred for female characters with the same amount of complexity. “bruh don’t you obsess over prince naemon–” Yeah And What the Fuck Of It

anyways moving on sorry i got distracted hgdfgyfgh. that’s all the characters that come to mind? disregarding characters that are unpopular in an unappreciated sort of way rather than a disliked way, i really dont have a lot

salty fandom (elder scrolls) opinions

[axelsandwich]

loool I am indeed looking forward to WTT and cheering shenanigans and excited to see who’s gonna be on the teams. and ehh idk if we’ll get too much footage of eteri/alina/zhenya interactions, it’ll prob be mostly backstage stuff (but russian nationals will be DRAMATIQUE AF 👀)

most: ‘two time olympic champion yazunori hanyu’ being his best and most wildin self and giving no fucks @ the ISU 

new programs!! especially since post-Olys season, with coaching changes and whatnot, can apparently be quite experimental (as long as no one commits to a POTO theme). obviously looking forward to wakaba, satoko and boyang’s new programs a lot but also really looking forward to rika’s senior debut, more of alyona in the junior circuit and also how people like kazuki and hopefully (??) sota will do (along w my unknown bbs like sui takeuchi) ;;;; feels like it’s going to be a v different landscape in the GP series with so many people dropping out, a handful of new juniors and the outcome is really going to set the tone for the new quad so I’m super hyped ;;

other things.... a good JNats for the mens MAYHAPS? some INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS mayhaps from the new layout and program requirements? honestly i’m curious to see how the new rules and scoring will work and to see if our worst fears are confirmed (so this is both looking forward to and dreading it)

least: scoring diskhorse, judge fuckery, the usual robberies, unimaginative programs, “hAnYU isN’T CoNsiSTEnT” @ yearly silvers, ptsd from injury news, lack of all the old guard bc i’ll feel SUPER OLD but esp people like the shibs and misha who always kind of provide the ~reliable~ skating content ; __ ; 

[thegeminisage]

baby ace here, needs general moral support​. esp with all the cd equines (diskhorse) going around

omg anon please know i and my friend had a good cackle over cd equines / diskhorse thats so funny

same im an old and wise ace and im like this close to going around and asking ppl i follow to tag ace discourse bc it’s super depressing sometimes?? and like its good valuable stuff but Dang sometimes u need a break?? even the posts with awesome takedowns still contain the sad material in and of itself, you know? like literally i was chatting with someone just tonight about that your timing is incredible

baby ace i love you and if you ever have a question about ace stuff my askbox is always open for that!! fun fact i once considered starting an aro/ace advice blog but i don’t have the time or mental energy but in me alive & well is still the desire to make sure young new asexual people don’t wind up feeling awful about themselves

general advice: blacklist what you gotta blacklist, don’t do anything you don’t wanna do with anybody you don’t wanna do it with no matter what kinda turned around reasoning they throw at you, remember you don’t owe anybody anything & also that you aren’t in anyway broken. also DONT spend any time with those yahoos that equate asexual ppl to homophobes or straight people. make that ur dealbreaker. follow some ace positivity blogs. do something that makes you feel good about yourself whether that’s a full face of makeup and nice selfies or finishing a creative project or doing charity work. it’s important to find lots of things to like yourself if you’re seein a lot of (incorrect) discourse that says there are things you should be hating about yourself, yikes

bad diskhorse is Bad, dont listen to it. you’re gonna go far. hang tight onto your sense of humor ok

[wastelandbonerhell]

hey bless u for being on this hellsite and like. knowing your shit. 👌🏻

it’s the same stupid argument that’s been happening since second wave zines, first gen conventions, usenet, email lists, yahoo groups, livejournal, tumblr, and probably every platform to exist in the future until a benevolent force destroys us all

women made fandom in the sixties, lbt women in particular have always been a driving force in fandom, every few years some dummo gets it in their craw that the best way to protect fictional gay men from ~*~icky women~*~ is to throw them out of a space they created because *spins the diskhorse roulette wheel* ＳＴＲＡＩＧＨＴ ＷＨＩＴＥＣＯＣＫ ＤＩＣＫＴＨＩＲＳＴ, it gets picked up by homophobes, misogynists and proghets as the new hot talking point that always seems to boil down to ‘um sweaty good women should making het their priority’, the cycle continues. same shit, different year. 

i’m just some idiot who wants more goodass content to consume. the gender and orientation of the maker doesn’t concern me.
