#sorry this is kinda negative

[glitchyko]

Okay I gotta ask cause I’m curious if this has happened to others to:

Have you ever engaged with something, whether it be watching a tv show, reading a book, you get the point, and have it be soured not necessarily because of what happens in it, but by reactions to it?

Because I have and I feel like talking about it since it’s bugged me for a while.

When the Lmk season 4 special came out, I was very excited and I watched it in a group vc in a server, but I’m gonna be honest, this viewing experience was absolutely miserable for me.

When the stuff with Wukong and Macaque, some of their backstory, past interactions, all that, happened in the special, everyone was just screaming and going crazy over shadowpeach, nobody was told to mute or quiet down btw, I think the owner of the server was joining in on it even, and all I wanted was to just watch the special and see how things are gonna go with the gang and the brotherhood, but that was all overshadowed and ignored by shadowpeach.

I can’t ever rewatch the s4 special without remembering that experience and it just sours it for me greatly, and it sucks because I was super excited for it when it came out.

And to be honest this just makes me nervous for future seasons cause I’m worried that shadowpeach will be a thing the show focuses on/make fanservice of, and that will be all people talk about, or at least the majority, to a point where everything else isn’t cared about. I’m not saying that everyone is like this or will absolutely do this, but it’s been a worry I’ve had in the back of my mind.

I wanna make note that I do not hate shadowpeach, yes I do not ship it, I see Sun Wukong and Macaque as purely platonic, but I’m not gonna hate on anyone for shipping it or talking about it just because I personally don’t see it. That’d be stupid, entitled and a waste of time.

I dunno where I’m really going with this, I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest cause like I said, it’s been bugging me for a while, but I’ve been hesitant to cause I don’t wanna come off as super negative or a hater or whatever. But I feel like I should also be allowed to voice my worries or minor grievances with something. I don’t like bottling stuff in because that just makes me feel worse, and I’ve been bottling it in for a while now.

why white people wearing box braids is offensive

"but all cultures have worn braids!"

Yes they have, but they differ in each culture, and your using the ones from ours.

most of the time it's to fit some sort of aesthetic, but black women doing their hair like this has been around at least since slavery. someone else's culture that isn't yours isn't there for you to use for your own aesthetic. This also frequently happens with other cultural things from various african tribes and the romani people, most of which are closed practices.

TLDR: Using other people's culture they have kept with them for generations isn't for your aesthetic.

Hey guys, don't ask me for hero contact information. I won't give it to you and it's kinda rude to me and the person. Just a reminder to respect our privacy.

ThotPuppy's Historical-themed Sterek Fic Recs

I know lots of folks have already done one of these! BUT! This is one of my favorite tropes, so... here are some of my faves! As a note, these largely range from ~vaguely medieval~ to incredibly well-researched SPECIFIC 'Medieval' to ~general regency ish~ to VERY Regency to various points in between. I am also aware of some as of yet unwritten but ~coming soon/eventually~ Pirate, Wild West, 1920s, and of course Medieval pieces coming out, so I MAY have to post an updated version in a year or so lol

Also... have one that's not here? PLEASE send it to me! Especially Medieval Fantasy. It's my FAVORITE and I KNOW there are more that I don't have/don't have saved and I'm very interested!

Things about the EOS that have me pissed

All the Megucas who still haven't been uncapped

The crossover girls who never got released despite seemingly every intention to

The manga isn't done yet

Felicia never got a solo alt that wasn't an april fool's unit

Sana only got one alt

The Manga isn't done yet (I assume it will keep going? please?)

Never released madohomu dual unit

While the game will close the Anime, which is Not Good, will still be available, making it the one that will "stand the test of time" (bleugh)

all of the megucas with rich and complex stories which will be left behind

the fact that it's seemingly closing so that a new madoka game can release- one that I'm now pissed at just on principle.

they *really* can't think of a better thing to do after the EOS than that stupid archive????? really??????????? not even a homescreen girl just the archive???????????????????????????????

Ik it's their whole schtick but guys. please. the horse is dead you don't have to keep beating it 😭🖐️

something so beautiful about how shadow with huge demon wings is probably something that would have been widely made fun of a few years ago but the general consensus on it now is that its the coolest thing to ever happen . peace and love on the black comet

During patrol Nightwing found a handmade doll that resembled his hero persona, this wouldn't be so weird if it weren't for the fact that he finds dolls resembling the other members of the batfam's hero personas scattered in odd spots throughout Gotham and Bludhaven. The weirdest thing happens when one night he finds a doll of someone he doesn't recognize. It's a pale teen with white hair and bright green button eyes wearing what looks like a black and white hazmat suit. Nightwing picks it up and the doll immediately bursts into Lazarus green flames. Nightwing finally decided to tell the fam about the dolls not knowing that Phantom, who was sealed in a sarcophagus by treacherous observents several years prior, was now awake. The problem is that the sarcophagus is in the batcave as a trophy, needless to say everyone was surprised when the lid suddenly blew off and out stepped a teenager. Danny is a mix of anger and confusion because this definitely isn't Amity Park

You know. This is almost the exact plot of another, non-dp-related-AU I’ve seen. It’s @/ovegakart doll AU, it’s an AU of Linked Universe, which is itself a LoZ AU where a bunch of Links have come together across time because reasons I won’t get into. In the second ever LoZ game, Adventure of Link, there are these dolls that are scattered across the map. They give you an extra life. So, in ovegakart’s AU, the Link from the first game and AoL(it the same link)finds dolls of himself and the other Links while in his own time. Then, in a well, he finds a doll of a Link none of them have ever seen before. He picks it up and it bursts into flames. I checked, that’s what happened, here is a link to the page. Oh, and Nightwing not telling his family about the dolls until he gets Danny’s? The same thing happened in this AU, where AoL Link doesn’t tell the other Links about the dolls until he comes across the mysterious Link doll. That mystery Link is the First Hero btw, he’s from the Skyward Sword manga.

I would’ve liked it if you, I dunno, credited the idea? Or at least make it not so obvious by changing the doll into something else? Or make it so that Nightwing only finds a Danny doll? Maybe have it melt into ectoplasm even? I have a couple posts already about how I’m a LU fan on here, and if you’ve seen that before, then did you think I didn’t follow ovegakart, one of the biggest LU/LoZ creators? Listen, I’m not mad at you, I’m just confused at your thought process here. This AU idea wasn’t made for dpxdc, it doesn’t even make much sense for it. Yeah yeah, people can do whatever they want, whatever, but at least credit it my god. Or change it up to suit dpxdc more, or both.

How many other people have just taken AU ideas from others and pawned it off as their own, thinking that no one would find out since they’re from another fandom? It makes me feel gross. Please, just credit the idea. If I just posted this with some writing adding onto this, not knowing about this idea coming from another fandom and another person. I think I might need to close my asks for a bit, I don’t feel great, sorry.

Joshseoh kinda just ignored everyone pointing out it was wrong to paywall this during black history month and that whitewashing black ppl is wrong, because... shilling more bad quality hairs was more important ig? so anyway...

Y'all can download it here if ya really want it!

(tho tbh the quality is so bad i can't exactly recommend it...)

[gay-at-ikea]

no but why is fuckboy simon becoming a thing in fics now, i can barely find a fic where that doesn't happen anymore and it's really driving me up the wall, like i know people can write whatever they want but this just feels like a completely different character. like sorry i want to read about simon and baz fucking each other, not other people, is that too much to ask for?

[valewritessss]

Guys I just found an account that is dedicated to being anti percabeth and anti annabeth and only making content about that

I’m so happy I don’t feel so much hatred towards something fictional that I make a whole account to be negative about that thing instead of just finding things I do like and being positive about those
