! hiatus/slow posting, player: ali

I'm back from vacation now!

I absolutely neglected posts on Maggie because Levi is just easier and quick to write for while on mobile, so I'll be catching up on her soon! If any of my characters were needed anywhere, please point me in the right direction~ And if you need anything from me, just lemme know.

I'm also gonna be hitting up that meme because oh boy playlists sure are my thing and I already have one made for Levi anyway.

EDIT: I POSTED MY PLAYLIST AND HAD TO BREAK IT INTO 3 PARTS BC IT'S HUGE. pls go look at it.

	lol yes, like marin said, it was Dirk/Jake from homestuck. And people decided that was an abusive ship aaaaaand I'M SURE YOU CAN GUESS HOW THAT UNFOLDED. hilariously, I have shipped and drawn many worse things and there was never any fear of fandom heat for those. homestuck was a hell hole.

ok but like

wasn't bro/dirk a popular ship? or maybe that's just what the people i followed shipped idk and idc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i would never pin dirk/jake as Problematic™, from what i saw of them. i wasn't into the HS fandom because seeing how they behaved at cons totally turned me off from it. it was the same fucking people from the Hetalia fandom except now with unsealed body paint to rub off on everything.

bro/dirk is off in the incest corner of the fandom no one really bothers.

dirk's a gay kid who actively pursued the assumed straight jake who had a lot of other love interests. which the fandom was mostly cool with untilllll it became canon. and then they basically nitpicked this ship to death and were super hung up on dirk (the openly gay kid that made the first move) as a horrible controlling abuser. and the writer kept giving a lot of (mmmmmostly positive) attention to this ship even after they broke up so fandom exploded with a new wave of essays about how problematic it was every time there was an update. IT WAS SO EXHAUSTING.

	THE RAGING HOMOPHOBIA IN HS FANDOM (AND TUMBLR BIOWARE FANDOM LBR) IS WHY I LAUGH every time someone's all "oh younger generations are so open-minded, bigotry will die out, being gay isn't even a big deal to teenagers anymore" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	homestuck fandom... i mean i know it has a bad reputation through and through, but it was hiding a lot of barely disguised racism, homophobia and transphobia. some parts of the comic are infuriating, and i even had a costume ruined by unsealed gray paint, BUT THE WORST THINGS I SAW WERE IN THE BOWELS OF THE ONLINE FANDOM.

	A few years ago I was involved in the Once Upon A Time fandom (i know) and they also did that thing where the zeitgeist was you were only allowed to not like a ship if it was "abusive" and that was. the wildest time (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

i think this mostly over now but for awhile OUAT fandom had a bunch of "Anti-Ship" and "Anti-Character" blogs that literally only existed to trash those ships/characters and the ppl who ran them anonymously were like "We just want to make a safe space for people who hate this ship" lmao. Honestly it's maybe the pettiest fandom I've ever been involved in AND I WAS AROUND FOR THE GREAT KATAANG/ZUTARA SHIP WAR

IT JUST CONFUSES ME SO MUCH?

Like I remember, when I first got access to the interwebs at age like 11 one of the first things I did was search (ON YAHOO) "Sailor Moon." I ended up finding like, anti-Sailor Moon webpages and even then I was like, "Wow, couldn't you spend the time this took making a website for a thing you like and just let the people who like this thing like it?" And it baffles me that apparently that's still a thing.
