Introductions

Hello there! The name’s Hugh Jidiot, and I’m an aspiring author. You’ve probably come here from my AO3 account, but if not you can check out my stories here. This will mainly be my dumping ground for anything related to my favorite fandoms (currently Total Drama Island, The Amazing Digital Circus, Amphibia and The Ghost and Molly McGee): dumb memes, links to my favorite fanfiction, theories and more. And if you like my fanfiction, you can check out my original work on Reddit over at r/TheHughJarchive. But please be aware that I am both a SWF and NSFW writer, so certain stories I write may not be to your taste. Everything is tagged so you know exactly what you’re getting into with whatever you decide to read.

So pull up a chair, put your feet up, and happy reading.

writers, instead of asking ai for help, you can always use your childhood trauma and repressed issues to help you with that fic

Question for Admin:

Why do so many people have an issue with aging up minor characters? Isn't that what they want us to do? They don't want us to ship minors with anyone, but if we age them up we're also bad??? How? Why??

because they dont actually care about any of that stuff- 90% of them want to be *seen* as good people, and since some loudspoken folk talk a lot about how bad aging up characters is then they internalize that, even if they dont believe it, to be seen in a positive light and have a whole ‘holier than thou’ act prepped to go

It's a moral imperative that we write more sex scenes which are

Weird

Uncomfortable

Not good for anyone involved

Alright so apparently Matt Braly does have a “Less is more” mentality when he made Amphibia, and while that approach at times did work for the show, I think it’s what kinda led to the situation that was Season Three, you think?

It does sort of feel that way at times, particularly when it came to Sasha and Marcy in season 3A.

Like I've made clear before: I understand what the writing was going for in trying to portray Anne suppressing her emotions about what happened with Sasha and especially Marcy in True Colors so she didn't have a complete breakdown. But to me, the show swung a bit too far into Anne's suppression, to the point where it came across as her barely caring that her two best friends could be dead.

Then there's the whole Darcy situation in 3B. It was one thing to take away Marcy's agency as a character and not allow her to play any significant role (all for the alleged crime of "thinking she was the main character," another thing the show really didn't portray well) but then to continue to keep Darcy offscreen and not do anything interesting with her outside of the finale made the entire decision to sacrifice Marcy's character feel completely pointless.

i think TADC's theme overall is so confused. not confusing, confused because i think even the creator had no idea on what the rules of this world is.

like why is it that the characters don't feel hunger or need to sleep, can hold their breath for however long, but they can feel pain?

like i want an in-world answer for this, other than "oooo it's weird horror stuff".

this is a "creative AI" project. which first of all, doesn't explain a lot of stuff like why the setting is a circus specifically or why all the adventures are set up like a video game. or why there are models for all the NPCs just chilling down in a basement, if Caine is just creating all of this when he wants.

but on top of that, why would you program it specifically so that the brain scans of these people don't need to eat or sleep but can feel pain? this kind of thing wouldn't happen by accident. they had to have programmed it specifically. were C&A just secretly trying to torture people for fun?

istg when i first started watching this show, i was under the impression that they can't feel pain, because why would they? i kept brushing past Jax's abuse because of this, i thought it was just wacky slapstick humor and that no one was getting hurt.

but no, it turns out they CAN feel pain. and they can feel exhausted from the adventures. so what exactly is the point of that?

in that case, just make it so that they can feel everything. they get hungry and sleepy, or can suffocate if they hold their breath. but no, it's different rules for different things.

i'm not really saying they shouldn't feel pain. i get that that would lower the stakes. but at least create an explanation for WHY they would feel it. there's absolutely no in-universe explanation for any of this. it's just so that the writers could pull out some half-assed horror stuff and be like "oooo look, they're being tortured!"
