I don’t know how to tell you that there’s a difference between “lea doing an interview in her native language where she gives details on her personal experience with workplace abuse” and “quackity doing a stream in his native language where he addresses the workplace abuse in his company and gives important updates on what will be happening going forward, while having this public stream be the first and in some cases ONLY place where his employees will be hearing this information, and since there was no translation provided to them beforehand, they have to rely on fan translations to figure out the status of their EMPLOYMENT”

the problem isn’t that the stream was in spanish, that’s literally a good thing because it allowed quackity to get his point across better!! the problem is that this stream was literally the ONLY source of information that the admins were getting on their job status and that there wasn’t any private statement given to them BEFORE a public statement was made. AND THERE WEREN’T EVEN SUBTITLES!! this is completely incomparable to lea’s interview and to act like it is makes you look purposefully ignorant to the nuance here

can we please stop picking apart every single thing that lea said to interpret it in the worst faith possible and steering the conversation away from the fucking workplace violations in the process? for the love of god?

Lmao a movie featuring majority black and brown characters - most of whom are teens - and I've seen fetishization and disrespect of darker skin tones on levels you wouldn't believe in just a matter of weeks. When I say fandom is a microcosm of real-life dynamics and that it will always replicate antiblackness I'm not talking out my ass here

so i fought aventurine.

[guiltygearconfessions]

saw a comment on reddit that went like, ky is a boring character because has never been through any suffering and everything has been gifted to him. and i saw red.

Ahh, okay, alright, I think I see what they mean. But, uh, I think I'm a little confused on my timeline events so please clarify if I make a chronological mistake.

So was that part after the part where both of his parents died? Or after the part where he got drafted into a war as a ten year old? Maybe it was a little after the part where he got put in charge of the army as a teenager. Maybe I'm a little off and it was actually the time after he got extorted by the illuminati under threats of having his wife killed. Shit this is so embarrassing of me, was it before or after the part where he had to give away his own toddler for everyone's safety? Or the part where his wife almost dissolved right in front of him? Or-

Not trying to defend Sam's current/recent actions, but I just want to direct people to this post cause I see some people trying to be like "Toby didnt know." No, Toby knew So Sorry was basically just Sam's fursona, that Sam is a fetish artist, and they both onew that Sam was going to get hate when people made the connection. afaik the Kickstarter and Undertale development predates all the FV stuff being public knowledge.

I know this isnt about Toby, but say what you will about Sam, I think the way Toby tried to remove So Sorry, a pretty pricy Kickstarter backer reward (even if he offered a refund) is pretty skeezy. I just wanted to set the record straight here.

https://www.tumblr.com/samael/143135058955

Undertale was released in 2015, the extent of how bad Floraverse can be wasn't seen until 2018. Undertale isn't relevant to the abuse Floraverse does and I am not particularly found of you trying to redirect the conversation away from the abuse Sameal funds in Floraverse to how Samael was somehow wronged by Toby thinking it's a bad idea for a fetish character to exist in an all ages game.

The reason I am humoring you is because Samael tried to set up the same exact dynamic that Glip did with PMD-E, where an all-ages project has closely officially associated pornographic content that's easy to find for kids.

I never put much thought into the Undertale situation because I don't care about peoples fetishes or fetish ocs, but I do care about adults that try to leave bread crumbs for kids to find their fetish content. With Undertale, I didn't put much thought into it because Toby did everything he could to offset the grooming bomb, and was mostly successful, but thinking of it, if Samael had it their way, this could have been very, very, very fucking bad. Of course they would be friends with someone like Glip, actually.

Like, ok, so kids are going to be googling "Muffet Undertale", they're going to be googling "Sans Undertale", they're going to be googling "So Sorry Undertale".

You know what they're going to see when they google "So Sorry Undertale"? Samael's fetish art. Because they're a fetish artist, and they wanted their oc that they use in their fetish content in the children's video game. Their official connection to the project puts SEO weight on their fetish art for these search terms.

That's objectively a problem, and it's not appropriate for Samael to specifically demand a character used in fetish art to be used here. It's also obvious Toby thought ahead about kids finding even fan-made porn content of his characters, which is why he asked for the "undertail" tag to be used early on.

So what was Toby really supposed to do here? No. Seriously.

He offered a refund, but you say that wasn't good enough. (Which...for the record.....why wouldn't it be?)

Samael refused to submit a character that had no fetish associations and would be free of the logistical community safety issues So Sorry comes with.

I think Samael forcing this character into the game, was a massive violation of consent. It's fine to have your fetishes! Really! It is! But it's not okay to force projects to become associated with those fetishes if the team behind it does not want it to be. That's what's fucking skeezy.

So Toby did what he had to in order to protect the kids who would inevitably play his game, he made the So Sorry incredibly hard to find. Kids are less likely to be fond of or look up a character they don't even know exists. I think it was a clever solution to an atrocious situation Samael put Toby in. Which is probably why it only registered to me just now how bad what Samael did there actually was.

Super hot take

I don’t think Azucena actions are being portrayed as a good thing and that what she is doing is clearly selfish and wrong and she isn’t being portrayed as a good person for her own actions.

Every day I think about episode 160 and cry. Like. Like. Jesus christ! The. Everything. Like. Every so often I think of TheOestOfOCs’ tag on their Dracula fusion fic, “this is still a fix it fic compared to canon” AND IT IS??? Fucking. Apparently Elias kidnapping Jon and turning him into a vampire and generally being the most awful person ever is a FIX IT FIC compared to what we’ve got.

And I’m like, I’m not complaining, I signed up for this, but like yeah, signed up for this (emotional ruin), but that doesnt make me HAPPIER ABOUT IT?

Okay, so, it’s three years, about. Starts in 2015, 2016. Ends in 2018. Because. Goddamnit. And it’s just. He gets eaten by fucking worms. You know that line, “one hand on the gas release from the start”? That line lives in my head rent free, because it’s… Elias is holding the cards, he has Jon’s fate in the bloody PALM OF HIS HAND and just… yknow how. Like. Fucked up Jon is in MAG 40? How he keeps asking them to Please Not Talk About The Worms, I Know About The Worms, Stop, I Beg Of Thee. And Elias is there, Elias is talking, Elias is seeing all of this and he’s just like “jolly good, job well done, 11 more to go!”

And just… Sasha. Tim. Melanie, Martin. Basira and Daisy. Everyone who got caught in the crossfire. Sasha, who died, unintentionally on Elias’ part, for a mark that was redundant. Tim, who died saving a world Elias knew was never in danger from the Unknowing. Melanie, who had to gouge her bloody eyes out, because Elias decided she was useful to him.

Useful. Fucking bastard.

And then, and then, season 3, right! God, I’m just thinking about Jude Perry’s mark, because that’s a burn, he probably didn’t go to a hospital, since he was on the run for a murder, so considering Lightless Flame nonsense, that’s probably a severe burn that probably caused nerve damage, caused a difficulty moving that hand, presumably the right hand, because I don’t think they were doing a scouts handshake. And while I do try make all my blorbos left-handed, Jon’s most likely right-handed. And even if he’s not, he still probably can’t move his right-hand right because someone decided to end the world through him, like a fucking bastard! That’s what gets me, right. It’s that everything, everything Jon’s bloody been through for Elias’ plans is immortalized on his skin, with his scars. Psychological trauma just isn’t enough for him, there has to be a constant reminder every time Jon looks at himself.

And then! And then! Speaking of season 3, what the fuck was that second kidnapping? Like, first kidnapping was horrifying but it was “for the plan” and the third kidnapping was in America and somehow “not that bad,” yknow, compared to finding out you’re like, physically dependent on reading horror stories, and your fucking awful bastard of a boss decided to drop that bombshell on you while you were actively, yknow, GETTING SICK FROM IT! Oh Joy. But second kidnapping was a) redundant, he’d already gotten the Stranger mark. b) completely fixable.

Completely fucking fixable. Just. Tell them. Tell them where he is, or tell them that’s he’s been kidnapped, if Elias doesn’t know, I think he did, because I think he’s exactly the kind of bastard who would just let it happen despite knowing exactly how to stop it.

And you know why? Why I think? Because that’s easier, right. It’s harder to be self-destructive, it’s harder to throw yourself into Situations, it’s harder to be isolated when you have one extra month to reconnect with your colleagues.

A month. Maybe the month would have done nothing. Maybe the month would have helped Jon and Tim. Or Jon and Melanie. Or Jon and Basira. Jon and Martin were already fine, and Jon and Daisy at that point is… ah… Nope.

And you think a month is bad? 6 months. And I know, everyone was suffering — Martin especially— while Jon was gone, and I know that it’s other people’s trauma that he’s watching and actively perpetuating, but! That’s also traumatizing!! It’s traumatic to have to watch other people’s worst nightmares for six months straight with no end in sight. It’s traumatic to have to. Everything??? Fucking everything in MAG 120??? I can pull quotes but that’ll detract from the rambliness of this. I’ll do that sometime, I will.

And honestly, season 4 is just a fucking mess, it’s. It’s. I’m sad about it. I’m Very sad about it, and. God. Like. It’s just. Melanie hates him, and part of that is because Elias used him as a meat shield in MAG 101, not all, not most, but part. Jon’s a monster now, and he’s hurting people, and there’s got to be a little voice in his head telling him he’s just like Elias when Elias is the one who made him like this. And they’re tearing each other apart and Jon is diving into Situations and Elias is watching from prison all fucking smug and then MAG 158 happens, god. damn. MAG 158 happens.

“I called you.” Like a fucking dog. Like. Like. “Are you scared, Jon” “Yes” “Good”

I have the words for MAG 159. A bet. A fucking bet. A motherfucking bet. I do not think I need to detail how horrifying and dehumanizing and horrible that is???? I don’t think I need to do that.

A bet. A bet.

And it brings us back to MAG 160. Make him monologue every fucking time this happened, every fucking time Elias used him to end the world, marked him, can’t word. But. Horrifying. Jesus.

2, 3 years. “You are a living chronicle of terror” what kind of fear. Over two years, just. Two fucking years.

But it’s not two. Not three.

It’s his whole bloody life, his whole life, leading up to this. End the world. Spread it. This is it, his purpose, he’s spent so long hurting himself for a purpose.

And at the end, after everything he’s done, after everything that’s been done to him, by Jonah Magnus, by the Web or fears or-

He can’t break free. He follows his purpose. He dances the steps he was assigned.
