i lowkey forgot about this account's existence.

If I was desperate for kudos I would not be out here posting villain ships, minor character rarepairs, and other deeply unpopular ships.

I know how to write popular fic. I know how to farm kudos. That's not what I'm here for.

"Readers need to remember that authors don't know a reader liked their fic unless the reader tells them by leaving a kudos or a comment" does not mean "waahhh waahhh I need attention!"

It means "even if writers write purely for themselves, if you don't bother to interact with writers when you do enjoy their work, they might stop posting and just keep their work to themselves."

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who aren't reading the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who did not enjoy the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is aimed at people who read a fanfiction, enjoyed it, and then didn't bother to even do the bare minimum to share their excitement about it with the work's creator, even though that excitement is literally the only thing they get in return for posting their work.

Fanfiction authors write because they enjoy writing. They post because they want to form a connection with the people who enjoyed their work.

This is not an attempt to scold anyone, I literally don't care if I get kudos or not. It's simply an attempt to remind people that fanfiction is a community, and fan authors can't read your mind.

So, I did a thing; basically, I took most of the Rangers who were played by Filipino actors ( and extra Rangers who weren't played by Filipino actors but I also wanted to include ) and basically designated which ethnolinguistic backgrounds and provinces would they be from if they were Filipino in canon ( and if they were born there or not ). Seven of the Rangers in this edit were played by actors of Filipino descent [ Alyssa, Madison, Rose, Theo, Emma, Brody, and Ollie ( the actors of Emma, Brody, and Ollie are mixed-race ) ]; the ethnicities I gave them are not based off the ethnolinguistic backgrounds of the actors' families, for I did not want to pry on their backgrounds because that's private information, so these are my own ideas. Two of them aren't played by Filipino actors, however, their characters are siblings of the characters who were played by Filipino actors [ Vida and Aiden/Levi ]. As for Kendall? Honestly, that's just pure projection; Kendall isn't played by a Filipino actress but I wanted to make Kendall be from the same ethnolinguistic backgrounds as I am because..... look, she's my favorite— I'm legitimately her IRL— and I have the power to, okay?!

List of my headcanoned ethnolinguistic backgrounds + provinces under the cut if you need them. Again, these are not canon and are just the result of projections.

Filipino-Headcanoned!Rangers and their Ethnolinguistic Origins

Alyssa Enrile - Bicolano ; Family came from Tabaco City, Albay Madison and Vida Rocca - Partially Cagayano ; Family came from Tuguegarao City, Cagayan Province Rose Ortiz - Bisaya [ Samareño/Waray ] ; Born in the Municipality of Lapinig, Boundary of Northern and Eastern Samar Theodore Martin - Bisaya [ Cebuano ] ; Born in Cebu City, Cebu Emma Goodall - Partially Tagalog ; Family came from Batangas City, Batangas Kendall Morgan - Partially Bisaya [ Boholano ] and Mindanawon [ Zamboangueño + Kalagan ] ; Family came from Malaybalay City, Bukidnon Brody and Aiden Romero - Partially Mindanawon [ Zamboangueño + Kalagan ]; Family came from Zamboanga City, Zamboanga Peninsula Ollie Akana - Partially Bisaya [ Boholano ] ; Family came from the Municipality of Calape, Bohol

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

[weevildoing]

I was really surprised by how TPTM concluded, it wasn't the direction I expected you to go in terms of depicting hospitalization. If it's not too personal: did you have a really positive experience in an inpatient program?

not necessarily; i was in an intensive outpatient program and to be honest it stressed me out more than anything. my debilitating fear of social situations made it kind of miserable to be there. but with science constantly advancing and the field of psychology growing more and more, i wanted to give the girls the experience i wish i'd had. i'd like to hope that someday, an inpatient program like that will exist, or maybe it already exists somewhere

[delihar]

Objects in mirror if they weren’t fucking around:

[screamsilas]

Mil actually posted this. yep you read that right, that's them justifying the actions of a school shooter there

@ii-neg-confessions IS RAGEBAIT! BLOCK AND REPORT THIS IS REALLY FUCKED TO HEAR

also kinda a smaller part 2 to the original post i made just with more screenshots and such

here are some more fucked up things that were said/assumed (PLEASE READ END BIT, ITS IMPORTANT)

more under cut

and this

which theres no evidence to support (CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG WITH SOURCES)

and this

(satomi isnt fired from my knowledge, tengolf has never been a "stalker x victim proship" thats a ridiculous claim to make, and the clock and gaty thing is such a fucking stretch and there are other poc va's on the show that arent in that position thats really weird to assume thats the reason why they were hired. as a trans man ive never heard of or cared about "transface" which isnt a real thing cause gender is subjective and people who believe it exists purely want something to be mad about (a trans character being voiced by a cis va would be "transface" apperantly) itd be different if they were in person actors and not CARTOON VOICE ACTORS but i shouldnt have to say that cause you guys are smart i hope

last thing, this

most of this is completely ridiculous, i shouldnt have to say that forgiveness and positivity isnt a lie, im really confident in the fact that Mil is really misreable and needs some sort of help, cause again you can believe whatever you wanna believe but they are so overwhelmingly negative that it seems theres something going on with them and its kinda sad to see how misreable they are

(should clarify; some stuff like the thing about luigi is true but also why are you spreading politics on a page about a fucking cartoon dude its not that deep never has been)

my goal isnt to support and defend internet celebrities who havent heard my name a day in my life, my goal is to spread the truth and stop the fear mongering going on here twoards anxious people who dont want anything bad to happen/they dont wanna consume "problematic media"

also i think Mil ( @ii-neg-confessions ) is ragebait so block and report them and their main cause they dont deserve a platform if all theyre gonna do is be a negative nancy

okay thats my 2 cents bye ily all take care of yourselves

[archamagicalia]

Started out seemingly sane, ended up absolutely disappointed; needed a blog to affirm the fact that the crew is shit and some of the storylines are shit but then this happened. Oh well. You really can't trust the internet sometimes

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

Orlissa

(i can't believe I have to say this)

[whetstonefires]

Also this is not true. You do in fact have the copyright to the specific writing you did in a fic, because that's not how copyright law works. Like this is not a grey area.

People who write IP content for corporations give up their copyright on a contractual basis--the company wants writing they can sell about characters/settings they own without getting entangled in royalty obligations etc, so they hire people. Who sign contracts saying they don't own what they write as part of that job.

That's why you don't own Star Wars stuff you wrote for Disney; you specifically agreed not to own it.

Writing for IP you don't own leaves you in a position where you can't legally monetize it (without taking out the Owned parts ad rebranding), but it absolutely does not automatically cede or void copyright. That is super not a thing.

SUPER not a thing, I cannot say this enough.

I can't sell my Batman fic, but neither can DC Comics without my duly authorized consent. Because they own Batman, but not the prose I composed about him.

Do not perform that kind of massive corporate overreach for them. Holy shit. Do they not own enough.

[chimaerakitten]

It’s fascinating that this misconception of copyright still exists. Haven’t we all seen the posts on here where authors beg fans to please not send them fanfic of their works? They’re not doing that because they feel like it, they do that because fans legally own their words and ideas, and an author who takes them even unintentionally can in fact end up in real legal trouble for taking something that’s not theirs. It doesn’t matter whether they own the canon.

🌟Data update!🌟

The more visibly queer a show is, the likelier it is to be canceled. The more frequently a queer character appears, and the more recurring queer characters there are, the higher the rate of cancellation.

We have found an increase in cancellation rates for shows which meet both sets of our criteria to be defined as queer - 1 queer main character, PLUS 3 more queer characters who each appear in at least 50% of episodes.

The rate rose by an average of 7%.

Averaging across all lists, queer shows were canceled 54% of the time. Shows that met both sets of criteria for "queer" were canceled 65% of the time. Our carrd has been updated.

The data can't really get much clearer than this.

If there's another reason these shows are getting axed, then this is an extremely consistent coincidence.

Thanks in particular to GLAAD, we know that we lost a lot of queer shows and characters this year. Now with our #SaveQueerStudies data, we can track proportionality.

Our data reveals that queer shows are canceled more often than other shows, are more likely to be canceled in one season, and are at an increased risk of cancellation as their queer characters become more visible.

We know why representation matters. This has to change.

The first and best way we can start to address this is by being as loud as we can. Please spread our hashtag and carrd widely. Support our participating fandoms and check out other ways to help at actforqueerstories.carrd.co.

We can and will turn this around.

[ii-neg-confessions]

hey, i was reading some of your blog. i think i saw a post from an anon about the quality of the official ii plushies? i bought the fan one before i knew about all this stuff regarding ae. im planning on selling it or something, since i dont want to support ae + im not a fan of the show anymore. BUT my point is.. prev plushie anon was right, the quality does kind of suck. after a day or two of owning the fan plushie, the stitching is coming off on the sides and the fabric is discoloring in several places too, overall just feels really cheap. mind you in he's just been sitting in my bed, i didnt throw him or anything. plus personal opinion: the limbs on the fan plushie look kind of wonky and small? they look kind of weird to me. anyways.. i dont really think the plushie was worth it. the only good thing about it is the face i think, since the material of that part seems to be stiffer?

i just think they could have been made better, honestly just seems like a cashgrab. ive had other plushies for a much shorter or longer time than the fan plush i own, and yet they have never faced any of the problems that are showing up on the fan plushie, which is weird. hope this is just a me problem since people are paying real money for these plushies..

also, thanks for making this blog. changed my opinion on ii and ae alot. not a fan anymore.

ableist rhetoric?? dude I AM disabled get off your fucking high horse. You're making Marxists look bad, babygirl. Get off the internet and help your parents pay the bills or something— because no matter what, we live in capitalism. It sucks, but we're still here. Grow up.

I'm disabled too what's your fucking point

you're literally throwing our community under a train with this dismissal of casual ableism.

"no matter what, we live in capitalism" and do you not want to change stuff? get your head out of your ass and start fighting

[ii-neg-confessions]

i used to do what you do and act "critically" about ii (i just hated it really) and i spammed the core four at the time so many asks telling them to censor the stuff in ii because i could not enjoy the show otherwise. but then when they did censor it people started to complain that they did it, thinking it was for other reasons. i dont know if i can ever come clean about this. it was seriously just one guy. they thought it was a lot of people and decided to scrub the episodes because i told them to. sorry

you did nothing wrong. at least you pressured them for accountability.

the least those shills could've done is issue an ACTUAL APOLOGY. VERBAL. BLACK ON WHITE. WORDS. and they didn't. they just acted like it never happened and then pinned it all on that "mephone4 is a child" bs
