Captain Carrion Crunch Commencement

Welcome to my blog!! You can call me Captain, Carrion, Crunch, or any variation of those...I'm not prone to labeling very hard, but so you can understand where my posts come from, here's the jist:

I'm queer, alterhuman, autistic, disabled, a furry, a leftist, and agnostic. (but a lil bit spiritual when I feel like it)

Majority of posting will be fandoms, video games, animals, shipping, art, and some general things related to my struggles and opinions.

No NSFW art or concepts will be posted about, but potentially triggering topics such as mental health, politics, or horror scenes will likely pop up.

Fandoms and topics I post about will be tagged onto this post.

All original posts will be tagged with #crunchy-carrion.

I enjoy personality typing; I'm an INFP 4w5 so/sp 469.

And now, onto the obligatory DNI.

Do not interact with me if you are:

a pedophile, pro-incest, or post ships involving that. racist, a white supremacist, antisemitic, xenophobic. alt-right, pro-trump, anti-immigration, anti-palestine. ableist, lgbtphobic, misogynistic, anti-neopronouns. anti-endosystems, ed/sh poster, or are a minor.

Pretty basic and understandable, barely had to be said, I hope.

🍂Thank you for stopping by!🍂

You're account is chill with shipping Stobin and i'm saying it as someone who is multishipper.

I think Robin is only sexually attracted to girls - her complimenting Vickie but never saying anything about her personality, her talk with Will when she wasn't thinking about dating but making out. But she doesn't actually feels deep romantic love for Vickie which is why they broke up. Because althought she may not experience attraction for Steve, she for sure does have deep feelings for him that could be more then friendship.

This would still make Robin queer but also biromantic. I don't think her feeling this would erase her queer identity as many claim. And when i think about it Robin may actually be more similar to Mike then Wil (if you believe in Byler) but that's just my headcanon.

Robin, being more similar to Mike, is interesting, considering Steve and Will fulfill the same role for them in season 4.

I love the similarities to Byler. I think the chessboard applies to them, too. Robin is in the center of the shot, implying she's the king. Mike and Will are framed right next to each other.

Mike is also a king, as in that weird Will livestream, they associate him with this symbol.

Will applies to the role of a Queen as Bylers were theorizing to the song "Heroes". The lyrics line up to the chessboard, the Upside Down with its massive wall, and of course, Steve and Will falling to their supposed deaths.

Whether it's unrequited or not, I think it's great to examine both Stobin and Byler's complexity and how much they care for each other.

right so it’s explicitly stated that robin and vickie broke up because vickie was overbearing so idk what anon is on about but it’s funny they sent this anonymously because they know this ship is 100% offensive. robin makes it clear in season 3 that she wishes it was her that tammy would flirt with and want to date, not steve. that’s now two confirmed women robin is romantically attracted to. romantically shipping robin and steve is absolutely erasing robin’s queer identity. i’m so baffled as to how that even needs to be explained. we’re given zero reason to believe she is attracted (in every sense) to anyone else but women. please don’t forget that one of the themes in stranger things is found family. if you look at robin and steve’s connection and can’t clearly see how they’re just deeply caring of one another, and that that’s NORMAL, i don’t know what else to say. like genuinely.

[gokuohko]

No argument, just denial?

[descisco]

me: provides more evidence that it isn’t romantic than what you can provide evidence that it is

you: reaches so far your arms have to hurt in the process

[gokuohko]

Don't you hail colors and the closet scene as Mike being gay? And if you're gonna opt to the lip staring argument, then tell me what's she thinking about right here?

It's shipping, keep seething over my existence.

Me after hearing "I have no place in this fandom."

Have Heart (no need to be afraid) — Part 1

This is a Byler graphic novel and fic. Yes. It’s both, because I’m greedy. It has been eating my life since January, and I’m super excited to share the first part. My aim is for the art and writing to work as a whole. The art should be able to convey the story on its own, but the writing gives you a closer look and a more in depth exploration of their emotional state.

Summary:

The story is over. His friends have moved on. Only Mike is incapable of it. He is trapped, with nowhere to go and nothing left that feels worth living for. But that’s just depression, right? Or maybe it’s something else, maybe something more sinister has survived in a place no one thought to look.

Mike’s hands are gripping the wheel so hard that his knuckles turn white when he passes the shield by the road announcing that he is leaving. He shouldn’t. He cannot. Everything in him is screaming at him to turn around. To go back. To stop this, whatever it is. Insanity, most likely. No. Not everything. There is this one part of him, buried deep down. The part that is yearning. The part that once was part of something better (who shared looks and shared smiles and shared hugs). It is that part who steps on the gas. It is that part who keeps his eyes on the road. On the horizon.

Turns out, Mike isn’t done fighting. And neither is Will.

byler in 1976: miwi meeting

byler in 1990: college boyfriends

byler in 2001: holy shit will look at the fucking tv

[captaincarrioncrunch]

Now this post is funny but I think if we were in a different time period some kid in the Byler fandom would surely make an unironic 9/11 fic. Y'all ever hear about Harry Potter and the Tumbling Towers? Cuz that's what's on the mind

Calling Adult!Zukka a "Welcome-back-Klance" which was the original "Welcome-back-Zukka" is like if someone was reincarnated into a person who had a suspiciously similar life to their previous one, died and then got reincarnated as the corpse from his first life, which has now been necromanced.

before i go to bed because im ill again i just briefly want to say that white people's adoration and frankly over the top love of (certain) animals taking precedence over their care about people of color is disturbing and needs to be dealt with. saw an insta reel today of a girl who adopted a cat whose owners were abducted by ICE and the comments were just filled with "omg the poor cat!" "i feel so bad for the cat!" "omg it probably thinks it was abandoned!!!" "omg the cat!!" okay and what about the owners. what about the people who owned that cat and loved it and will probably never see it again. the owners that like no one knows the names of? the owners? like the people that owned the cat that got kidnapped so suddenly their cat was just left? what about the people. the owners. like remember them? people who are living their worst nightmare?

or the way yt people will prioritize animals in gaza over the humans that live there. or the way yt people will prioritize animals over like real human laborers farming in unsafe and deadly conditions for their agave or whatever vegan trend of the month. or the way yt ppl will tout ecofascist talking points in favor of animals and against human beings. or the way yt people try and push universal veganism instead of food sovereignty and dismiss the culinary traditions of indigenous groups. and and and

[captaincarrioncrunch]

Although I understand the empathy for these animals, it always feels like such an unproductive shift. If you somehow haven't fucking noticed, the humans involved in these stories already have very minimal rights. Why are you trying to focus the social attention on the animals here? What is that genuinely going to do? The animals won't have a long-term solution until the society they're under has one.

No, I'm not saying that actual organisations made for these animals are useless — oftentimes it's made by big hearted citizens inside those same environments who are trying their best to spread any joy and love — I'm saying that the fact people on the outside will willingly remove the human victims from these animals' stories is atrocious. The defenses are always open admittance of having more empathy for animals than people. And yes, yes I can understand low empathy, but you can't pretend this mindset is going to objectively help improve Any creature's life.

It does come across similar to people who will talk about, "people shouldn't get dogs and cats they can't afford or are too sick to care for." Or how the West looks down upon poorer nation's animal care. Yes, the idea is well and good, but do you not see the bigger issue here? Why is the solution unrealistic control instead of helping people's poverty and illness?

I'm not telling you to stop caring about animals, fuck no, but please don't let an apathy for humanity take over your responses. Don't take animals from a wider tale of human tragedy and act like there's only one party to care for rather than two.

Humans deserve care and love.

y'all, nows the time to start doing more.

a lot of you have responded to the attacks on therians in multiple countries in south america (and apparently europe now, from what i'm hearing) with tucking your tail between your legs and going "see, we are oppressed!"

so? what are you going to do about it? we cannot just sit here and idle. even if you cannot be there in the moment, we need to start building a foundation of which we can make a change. and that foundation is not built off of vibes-based politics. we have to actually start thinking about how we will reach our own liberation.

think about the physical attacks that have happened in our community. who are the victims who have been injured? is there any way we can provide financial aid towards them in regards to getting medical treatment? have they spoken up about anything? how are we going to handle this going forward?

who are the people who are actively in areas that have had these attacks? have they talked about what the environment is like? we need to start giving folks who are actually directly harmed by this a platform to elevate their voices. by learning more from those who are actually directly having this happen to them, we can start to build a foundation in which we learn how to go forward.

the answer to this situation is not to keep hiding in the shadows, hoping that there is a part that is dark enough to hide us for good and for people to forget about us. there is no more shadow to hide in. so what will we do now?

we cannot let the community continue to just be a fun little space for people to hide away and ignore the troubles of the world. this has harmed members within our own community, primarily those racialized, and it is now more than ever a behavior that will hurt the whole community.

change starts with you. so let's actually try and make some productive change.

Currently information in English is fairly sparse, but: the jist seems to be that Latin American media began talking about and sensationalising therians. As a result, right-wingers in Spain and several Spanish-speaking countries and territories, such as Mexico, Argentina and Puerto Rico, started producing viral content to throw fuel on the fire.

Fake videos have been created with AI showing theriform dogs attacking therians. (News article in Spanish debunking the videos.)

Fake meetups were organised hastily in an attempt to gather real therians so they could be attacked. Not many actual therians showed up, but a few did. Here's a post from a therian which includes videos and photos showing assaults, and talks about the AI posters.

This news article mentions that in the state of Yucatán, a therian attending a meetup was pelted with eggs by a young woman who was later arrested.

Here's another Tumblr post by a therian discussing it. In the comments, other therians mention stories they've heard, in particular this Puerto Rican therian who talks about attacks on children.

Lastly, here's an article from the media outlet Plataforma about the general trend.
