i think out of disrespect we should just start using "spamtenna moment" as shorthand for when a nothing tier yaoi ships between side characters somehow manages to eclipse in fandom popularity all of the central character relations of both the main cast and the rest of the side characters that aren't men. i think this should become such a widespread and entrenched form of fandom lingo for insulting ships that the next generation of teens will grow up understanding its meaning and not its origins in the same way teens of my generation used adjective!character parlance long before ever learning what bang paths were.

One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.” And everyone else just “aye.”

[inimitably-ineffable]

Not to mention the plot tropes.

“I don’t think the Highschool AU is going to come in too strong this year. Fandoms a touch jaded for that. But the hurt/comfort is growin’ thick as weeds and twice as fast. It’ll be a good harvest, fer sure.”

“I hear over at [neighbouring fandom] they’re putting the top field into fix-it fics.”

“Yes, ‘twould be.  They had a hard season last year, a right hard season.” 

[explorerrowan]

“You think I ought to plant a little Sailor Moon Wild West AU? Don’t know if anything would come of it. Might not make it to harvest.”

“Won’t know until you plant it, will you?”

Petition to start referring to fanworks as ‘produce’ and stop calling it ‘content’.

Produce = Fresh. Tasty. Nutritious. Contains some ppm of Love.

Content = Lifeless. Sterile. An obligation.

"the flowers are the human souls!" "the flowers are representative of the holidays and dreemurrs!" apparently none of us were prepared for the flowers to just be Their Own Damn Characters (with some influence of the human souls objects/traits, sure, but theyre clearly not representative of the actual fallen kids) (also there mightve been some influence from the Holidays and Dreemurrs based on Aqua seeming to have certain traits in common with Kris)

[faux-stars]

“Hater Ralsei” is funny and all, but like pause for a second.

Have you stopped to unpack why Ralsei is a hater towards Flowery? Because it’s not because he’s annoying or unkind or destructive or any of the things Ralsei has been encouraging Kris to avoid the entire game.

In fact, he’s almost everything that Ralsei preaches. He serves lightners. He’s pacifistic. He’s kind and encouraging to all the darkeners. He wants to defy the prophecy, not for his sake, but for the sake of a lightener who is precious to him.

The only difference…. Is his honesty. Flowery is GENUINE. And No, faking his stats isn’t dishonesty. Quite the opposite. He’s not afraid to expose the system.

Flowery isn’t holding up the facade. He isn’t afraid to confront the prophecy head on at the cost of his own existence, just for the slim chance that he can make his lightener happy.

“The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy.”

Do we all hate Flowery because he’s over-the-top and annoying? Maybe. But does Ralsei hate him for those reasons? Absolutely not.

Ralsei hates him because he is afraid of himself.

i like these two

[happycomputertimetravel]

They are not Catholic, I don't see that at all.

They are Protestant, to be specific they are extremely Calvinist. Their religion has no sin (no Catholic guilt), but it does have an unbreakable prophecy (Reformed lack of free will). Hometown is a place of progressive Puritans, not of Catholics (possibly Presbyterian or Reformed Baptist or whatever, but they *are* in New England)

And if I said Megamind is one of the few movies that understands Superman.

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

And if I said Megamind through its three subversions of Superman shows a deeper understanding that the point of Superman is that he was loved and taught to love by good, present parents, and because of that he is able to return that love to a world even if it doesn't always accept it, and he is not corrupted by his power, than many other films either subverting or playing the superman story straight.

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

Megamind has three Superman subversions. One is obviously Megamind himself. He was not raised loved by the world, but rather was loved by those hated by the world. Because he was still raised with love, he does care about other people, hence his character development. But because he didn't receive wider love growing up, his own is misplaced at first.

Metro Man was not loved growing up in a way that mattered. His adopted father was clearly very absent, and while we don't know much about his family, their relationship seems superficial. Because of this, his sense of duty to the world is also superficial, hence his boredom.

Hal wasn't raised with power. He gained it and was shown how to use it by a 'space dad' who only taught him power and not love. Hence, he sees it only as a grasping means to an end.

All three of these subversions, in their negative space, create the silhouette of the superhero that they are parodying. That silhouette is of a space child that came to earth and was cared for very deeply by the world, and taught love through his experience of love, and because of that holds fast to his duty to the world. Which is Superman.

Underappreciated thing we learned about Ralsei this chapter; little guy's apparently got that uncanny valley look to him in-universe.

Even Asgore, at first, seemed to think he looked like Asriel; but on closer inspection, he thinks our toothpaste boy doesn't even really look like a monster.

Which is wild considering how varied "monsters" can look. How off-model does Ralsei look beneath the pixel art-style?

Actually: You wanna know what that reminds me of?

Flowery:

I think Ralsei is to goat monsters what Flowery is to humans. He looks close to right at first; but then you think things like "why does he have Simpsons skin?" Also he's too anime, which can also apply to Ralsei.
