[shadowoffandoms]

[swampthingking]

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

[gambeque]

therapy sesh

[dimitrscu]

“i hate when malenia heals” well don’t let her hit you then 😭😭😭😭

[katabay]

top 5 fandoms?

oooh, okay! so my top 5 to hang out in (which is not necessarily the same as stuff I draw fan art of, but ones where I’ve gone to group meet ups at conventions, attended watch parties/events for, actively seek out the tags for on twitter, etc) are probably

-Kamen Rider

-the bitter Sam fan side of SPN

-DMBJ

-Pacific Rim

-Guardian/Zhen Hun or the Yakuza franchise

I'm so tired of sites self-destructing, PLEASE I am begging there to be just ONE art site that isn't a flaming pile of shit that could go down at any moment

I'm not leaving until the ship goes down, but I would like to hear potential places where people are also posting art

Personally I'm most active on Kofi and Bluesky because these are the only sites that I'm sure won't come crashing down anytime soon but god it's so tiring to have to keep rebuilding because everything turns to shit over the dumbest, most lack-of-common-decency bullshit from people who should never be in power to begin with

Not sure if it's reassuring to me that several people on twitter coming forth to state they've played part of the game saying the actual gameplay maintains that dark fantasy feel, or if it's making me more suspicious

[dirty-bear-rick-sanchez]

Also I rewatched the other Inside Job Part 2 trailer and ‘this is the most damaging midlife crisis since Elon Musk’ has aged like the FINEST of wines

[synthshenanigans]

there’s one on here currently and they’re bringing back up old controversy (jashshipping)

Yeaa I saw that. They also seem to post a bunch of CJ related things, so I might make the daily photos one since there isn't one for just CJ screenshots/photos

Hey could ads on tumblr not play music or sounds when I don’t event click on them? It would be great if ads didn’t constantly run while I’m using the app either. I’d also like it if ads didn’t just shove their way onto my screen on top of posts. I understand the need for ads, that they “need” to make money. But this website, this app, it’s bothersome enough to use with the constant horrible changes to the UI and policy that it doesn’t need literal pop up ads.

Like i literally privated my personal Twitter again today bc saw a mutual get one of those people screenshotting their bio and hating on them bc they didn’t like a take they had about palworld or whatever. Like yknow what it’s a good spot to meet other gamedev / tech art / vfx people but it’s so not worth the chance a creepy angry gamer is gonna dox or harass you like it’s happened to some of my coworkers and former coworkers!!!

really great day for getting music recs

Okay, I HAD to go looking for this controversial Vi theory on twitter and it looks like the tweet itself also talked about Cait and Jinx. I actually thought they were bang on target when it came to Caitlyn.

"Vi is domestic abuser coded. Jinx is sexual harasser coded. Caitlyn is stalker/ incel coded."

I'm sorry-coded Anon, but this is stupid-coded.

There is plenty of evidence that Jinx has abuser traits. I made an entire fucking essay about her being a dickhead that had a whole section on all the physical boundaries she breaks.

Sexual though? How? Not like we see her do it, or see her in a relationship with someone she sleeps with. Brushing Sevika's cheek with her fingers isn't sexual assault.

Do the stupid-coded people on the bird think the only shade of abuser out there is the sexual kind?

As for Vi and Cait... What is their textual evidence? Ooh sorry, is there none? Is twitter not the best platform to share a long argument with proof to support it?

Incel-coded Caitlyn, though... LMAO. Touching grass isn't enough any more, these insane-coded people need to fucking eat it.

Honestly all the stuff that keeps coming out about RT now is such a perfect illustration of toxic masculinity and the culture it creates and the way it takes normal, decent people who don't mean any harm and causes them to act in ways that hurt others. You don't mean to hurt anyone, you just don't think it all the way through. Because you didn't learn to. Because you grew up hearing "man up" and "get over it" and "it's just a joke", and you think that's the solution when someone's upset. They just need to toughen up and get over it.

It's just jokes and you're joking around with your friends, you want to belong, and as with any group, you encourage each other, you get a little thrill from being so daring or being cheered on and you feel edgy and cool and most importantly, accepted. You end up doing and saying things you wouldn't do or say if you were alone, or in a different group. This is how group dynamics work.

And then eventually it comes to a head and you find out that actual harm has been caused. Either by you, or by your co-worker who you thought was just joking, and you made the jokes yourself, and you never imagined how close to home you were hitting. And everyone ends up hurt and guilty and devastated because you were just joking. You never meant to hurt anyone.

It just... man, this is what happens, right? People end up doing shitty things, and yes, they are responsible because ultimately they made the choice. But the culture behind it is what needs to change. Because as long as that culture is there, it's going to keep happening. And people do bad stuff not because they're bad people, no, they just didn't think about it like that. And that's worse in a way, not in terms of individual blame, but overall. Because there aren't a lot of bad people in the world, but there are a lot of people who are perfectly decent but maybe don't always think everything all the way through and just follow the group and try to fit into the group, which is a very fundamentally human thing to do.

And by the way there's nothing wrong with "lad culture" when it's play-fighting or doing stupid challenges or running around or making fun of each other as long as the target of the joke is also having fun. That's not toxic masculinity. The problem is the "man up" stuff, the lack of consideration for your own feelings and other people's, the "joking around" that's really just bullying. And the thing about it is that it hurts everyone. Including the guys who do it, because they've been hurt themselves already, they're ignoring and dismissing their own feelings, they can't tell the difference between bullying and love, they end up guilty and remorseful once they realise what they've done. Obviously the biggest victims are the victims, but nobody actually wins with this except arguably the predators who know full well what they're doing and are enabled and supported by this system even though nobody means or wants to do so and is horrified once they find out about it. It just sucks.

(disclaimer, I'm not talking about the Ryan stuff here, he's excluded, he knew full well what he was doing)

people saying susie behaved out of character in that blog post from noelle seem to be clearly forgetting that toby annd the team know far mroe about susie than we as the audience do at the moment. like if deltarune was fully and completely out in the world this would be different but were only 2 chapters in and what we know about the characters bar theories and speculation is probably like 20% or even LESS than that of what their characters will probably be once the games fully finished
