Trying the pinned post thing

Welcome!

I'm Taffy, early 30s bisexual Tumblr elder who came back for some reason after leaving in the mid-2010s! My pronouns are she/her.

I'm currently very into Arcane and Mel Medarda centric content, so that's what you'll mainly find here. There will be spoilers for all of Arcane. Proceed with caution if you plan to watch, but haven't finished it yet.

There will also be occasional Baldur's Gate 3 content, so please be wary of spoilers for the game.

There may be suggestive posts so please don't proceed if you're under 18.

Thank you for visiting!

Being a Black fangirl is hard but there is something about the Arcane fandom that is so insidious toward its Black fans and the characters. Since the show release, Mel and her fans has been subjected to racist and sexist abuse all because Mel is a pretty Black Woman in a canon relationship with Jayce? This is crazy because other evil characters barley receive a fraction of hate the way Mel has.

Black fans are constantly gaslight, attacked and called racial slurs when we call out the bigots out in this fandom, and deal with them trying to smear our name, dealing with mentally draining drama cause by certain toxic shippers. I had to shut down my Mel account because of targeted harassment from these shippers constantly self-inserting themselves in my safe space for promote Black characters and their ships. If it’s not the shippers, it’s the writers, suppliers, randos perpetuating hate of a fucking character all because what? What do you gain from constantly attacking Mel Medarda unprovoked? It’s an obsession at this point.

I have never experienced this level of evil from a fandom before. And the Youtooz drama with the way they have been promoting hate and violence toward Mel and her followers is making me want to remove myself from the Arcane fandom for good.

The Golden Couple

I used to do semi-realistic portraits like these back in the days instead of my current silly (but time-consuming) comics and wanted to give it another try

I'm sorry, but I have to say this.

Beyond Divinity's cover reminds me of early 2000s BL manga covers.

really glad to see hate for this concept.

count me among the haters. i've been a hater since i first encountered this conflation of many different well-defined concepts into one ill-defined one

it's part of the general trend of hiding the inner workings of computers from the user, which is something i hate since it tends to promote computer illiteracy which tends to promote incompetence and dysfunction in society as a whole

Yeah you could say I’m doing numbers on tumblr. And that numbers? One
