btw you're allowed to enjoy two differing interpretations of the same character and you don't have to justify why you like it to anyone. you can like your evil character to be malicious and serious and you can like depicting them as a silly goober. you can enjoy seeing people draw two characters in all sorts of different contexts and dynamics without having to pick one over the other. you don't have to come up with a complex reason. you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. you can like a character multiple ways without having to justify why it's not problematic or why it's not weird. do what you want. it's fandom, not a testimony before the court.
hey so like when did fandom become less about writing fanfic about characters and more about writing fanfic about... creators? "this plot beat happened because the writer was secretly bitter about—" "actually the creator hates this character personally and has a vendetta because—" "i heard that this showrunner had a bad relationship in their past and that's why this episode—" oohhhhhh my god. whats going on here. im here to talk about headcanons for blorbos not headcanons for some barely-public person who probably isn't paid enough that neither of us have ever met jeeesssuussss christ. everyone is so weirdly parasocially obsessed and it's fucking strange and creepy and im sick of pretending like i dont recoil into myself every time i see it.
im not saying that these creators are above criticism or anything so callous but you all have to know on some level that getting really personal about these people isn't healthy, right? and that multiple people work on these properties, not just one person? you just Cannot analyze character arcs anymore without people butting into the conversation to explain their weird freaky headcanons about "actually the only thing here worth analyzing is the fact the writer is bitter and lonely and jaded and—" what the FUCK are you talking about???? HOW did you think this contributes to the conversation???? how did an attempt at media analysis for fun turn into some shitty bitter elementary school gossip???
and i know people will assume the fandom this post is about based on my blog (and it IS about that) but this goes for SO MUCH media nowadays. this is everywhere. i'll take a peek into a fandom for a new cartoon that came out and be met with hellfire beyond my wildest comprehension because some fan-favorite character didn't get enough attention or something equally vapid. "is [x cartoon] the worst fandom of all time?", everyone asks, as if it's not Most of Them. its inescapable. i cannot express enough how hostile the mere idea of being a professional creator is nowadays because of this culture. meanwhile everyone just perpetuates it like it's acceptable to speak violent fantasies of, or just generally constantly whine about, someone who worked on an episode of a cartoon you didn't like.
no, you don't actually know any of the things you are saying about these people's personal lives or beliefs. you don't know any of what you're saying. "but i heard—" i don't care. this is gossip. and i don't care if there's some tweet that vaguely supports your theory, either. these are real people and not characters. you cannot just form 'headcanons' about them based on implication. have you never had your words misunderstood? have you never worded a thought poorly? this is not interesting gossip. it's not thoughtful. it just makes you look bitter and vaguely creepy, and it's ruining fandom spaces. media analysis isn't fun when all the replies and comments are more interested in childish gossip than actually engaging in art. writing stories or comics isn't fun when the comments use your work as a vessel to complain about all the writers they have parasocial thoughts on, either.
if i don't give enough screentime to a character in a fic, will the people in my comments begin making assumptions about my personal life, too? will they think i'm bitter? will they make up lies about me, too? you might say "probably not, because you're not a professional" — but what if one day I was? will people go back, scrounge up my old fics, use them as ammunition to write their own twisted stories about me? me, the real person? do you see how this is discouraging? do you see how this is weird?
Lily Orchard 2010s Steven Universe video caused irreparable demage to fandom culture and midia analysis in general, beyond comprehension. And these are the consequences.
Welcome to the WORLD of TV TIME!! 📺
Jack's pod mainly consists of Light Furies and LF!dragonwalkers. Dragonwalkers usually stick with the same dragon species due to similar temperaments, feeding patterns and behaviour, but not always. Though not necessarily related, they treat each other as family. The leading group of the pod, more often than not are blood-related. Jack's pod is led by his mother, whose mother led before her. Her children would eventually succeed her in leading their pod when she passes, and she has taught them all that she knows.
They're a migratory group, often following the whales in the ocean, going from colder climates to feed, and to tropical waters to breed and reproduce. The younger dragon walkers may choose to go their own way and make their own flock when they mature or stay with the pod.
And as for turning others into dragonwalkers via biting, in this au biting a person wouldn't be enough. Transforming others usually involves a ritual to go with the bite. It's a well-kept secret among dragonwalkers, and each species has its own rituals.
you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up

Many Yoshi casualties were had. Y'know how babies pull on hair because the reaction amuses them and they haven't learned other people have feelings yet? This is something like that. Asgore and Toriel seem to have pretty bad conflict resolution skills, but it's hopefully at least a little better with their kids. Toriel: Avoidance, beat up your problem until someone gives up or dies. Asgore: Stubbornly dig your heels into a solution that's clearly not working. Passively hope the solution comes to you. Oh what do you mean your kids are messed up.
