Theories, art and a big gay mess

I come up with theories, headcanons, and story ideas that I don't know how to word so I'm just word-vomiting these ideas and occasionaly posting art and some wierd fun facts about the human body.

The Three Laws of Fandom

If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.

If you aren’t able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.

Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.

The First Law of Fandom

Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)

It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.

There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.

The Second Law of Fandom

Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)

Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. It’s not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. It’s not up to you to police fandom. 

If you don’t like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking.  

But you have no right to say to any creator “I do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.”

It’s not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. That’s censorship. Don’t do it.

The Third Law of Fandom

Ship And Let Ship (SALS)

Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.

It’s not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.

You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.

It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.

These three laws add up to the following:

You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasn’t to your taste. That’s the height of bad manners.

Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.

Steven Universe: Eh, I don't really feel like saying "girlfriend" or "wife". Maybe they're together. They have a special connection...

(gets violently shoved aside)

The Loud House/Craig of the Creek/The Owl House: Pfft, amateur. "My GIRLFRIEND Sam and I..." "I'm texting my GIRLFRIEND, mind your business." "Luz's new GF showed her..."

[raulziito]

Can we not do this thing? Do you realize that Rebecca had to fight for what we got with Rupphire and literally risked her job? and Pearl and Rose. Like, there is no need to knock other shows down because of Lumity.

[missgreeneyartz]

These kids today, I tell you what. In my day you had to bury your girlfriends under subtext and then end the series when the truth was revealed.

[renthony]

Risked her job, hell, it's an open secret now that the Rupphire wedding (which, may I remind folks, was the first queer wedding in a kids' cartoon, which is a BIG DEAL) is why everything about the rest of the series felt rushed. They had to scramble to tell the rest of the story because they took a gamble and the network retaliated by shortening their production time.

Rebecca Sugar and the crewniverse risked the entire show getting flat-out cancelled in order to show that wedding, only for people to say it "wasn't progressive enough" and was "giving in to stereotypes" to put Ruby in a wedding dress. Never mind that Ruby kept getting dubbed over as a guy in localization, Sapphire was unmistakably feminine in every version, and putting Ruby in the dress was a flagrant way to say, "fuck you, you can't pretend this is a straight couple; this is a queer couple and a queer wedding."

Dana Terrace has said that The Owl House only exists with its intended queerness because of what Rebecca Sugar and her team accomplished with Steven Universe. Hell, there are multiple members of the Steven Universe team who went on to work on the other shows mentioned in the OP--Steven Sugar, for example, who is Rebecca Sugar's brother and inspiration for SU in the first place (as well a background artist on the show), is currently an artist on The Owl House. There are people who got their start on Steven Universe who now only have the opportunity to tell more queer stories because of Steven Universe's success.

I'm not even 30 years old yet and I'm still old enough to remember when being gay was fully illegal in the United States. Not gay marriage, but literally just BEING GAY. It wasn't that long ago, and the fact that today in 2021 I can turn on the TV and watch gay cartoons intended for children? I never thought I'd see it. Fucking ever.

So let's stop pitting queer creators and media against each other, shall we?

I really hope anyone who follows me understands that what I post completely depends on what I’m hyperfixated on and will vary wildly from day to day.

For example: I was recently (about a week ago) hyperfixated on Sonic the Hedgehog and have since moved on to The Arcana.

What is going on with the world??

[dinodaddy-deactivated20221014]

Jesus…

In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.

Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.

Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.

The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.

But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]

It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

PLEASE REBLOG!

hey! peruvian here

to be completely honest, there is probably nothing anyone can do about this at this point because it has been in the works since the 90’s. as you can most likely tell, our government is a fucking joke. still, this needs international attention. a lot of it. this is my country’s history, culture and one of the most beautiful things we have to offer at risk.

our best bet is at the very least causing somewhat global outrage to spread awareness and perhaps make this into something bigger amongst the middle and upper class people in the central cities as sadly the lower class and indigenous citizens (the majority of the country’s population) go widely ignored by the government and the former (middle and upper class) tend to also ignore shit unless they perceive it as affecting them directly

[kirain]

I showed this tiktok to my grandma to make her laugh, but now she’s all excited and actually wants to make a chocolate potato cake. We’re gonna do it.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

[kirain]

It’s happening, folks!

[kirain]

Looks good, but we’re not done yet!

Our sweet, sweet child needs to cool before we add the finishing touches!

[kirain]

My creation is complete!

After dinner, we’ll give it a taste test!

I wonder how it’ll taste.

[kirain]

Oh…

My…

God.

It’s incredible!

This stupid cake, made with potatoes … is delicious! It’s so sweet, moist, and decadent, just like a brownie! And I don’t even like chocolate or potatoes!

The recipe from the tiktok was pretty much impossible to find. I looked high and low, but everyone posted recipes that I KNOW he didn’t use because the ingredients and methods were different. After some searching, my grandma and I came up with our own recipe.

For the Cake:

1 cup mashed potato

2 cups sour cream

1 ¾ cup flour

1 ¾ cup sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup softened butter

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt

For the Drizzle:

4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

½ cup sugar

3 tbsp corn syrup

2 tbsp water

A lot of recipes called for a mixer or a processor, but my grandma and I wanted to make an every-man kind of recipe, since we know not everyone has those things. Plus they’re heavy and a pain to clean anyway, so bowls it is!

Instructions:

1. Peel and boil the potato, then mash it. Set aside to cool. Go to the bathroom, do your homework, then come back. That should be enough time.

2. Set oven to 350°F.

3. Cream butter. This means putting the sugar and butter into a bowl and mashing it together with a fork until it’s thoroughly mixed.

3. Put everything else in the same bowl, including the mashed potato. Mix and stir well. Work those muscles!

4. Grease a pan (doesn’t matter what kind you use) and spatula batter into pan. Even out if necessary.

5. Bake in oven for 40 minutes.

6. Test cake with pick. If nothing sticks, it’s finished. If batter does stick to pick, let it bake a bit longer but make sure it doesn’t burn. Remove and set aside to cool.

For the Drizzle:

1. Cut chocolate into tiny squares.

2. In a small pot, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water.

3. On medium heat, wait for mixture to sizzle and stir it. Do NOT let it boil.

4. Remove from element and add chocolate.

5. Wait for squares to melt, then mix.

6. Drizzle or pour over cake.

Enjoy!

I’m so glad there’s a recipe now, I really want to try this!

Disney’s ‘experiment.’

Please don’t pay the extra 30 dollars to watch Raya and the Last Dragon on top of the subscription fee you are already paying. Do not normalize this. There is no reason you should pay that much to watch a movie in your own home, a few months earlier than everyone else. If you buy into this, they will keep doing it. They are calling it an experiment for a reason. 

[sarcasticmudkip]

Whatever you do, please do not click this link to watch Raya and the Last Dragon for free. Do not do that. Why would you want to watch this movie for free right now, when you could pay thirty dollars to see it? So yes, don’t click that link. 

[gilgameshhimself]

Good on you for warning us, Kip! Definitely gonna avoid that link now

Let me make this post about accessibility a bit more accessible./hj

[ID: an list titled “Tone Tags” with the subtitle “These help neurodivergent people as well as others who simply need help conveying tone of voice over text” List is as follows:

/j = joking

/hj = half-joking

/ij = inside joke

/c = copypasta

/ly = lyrics

/t = teasing

/lh = light-hearted

/s = sarcasm

/rt = rhetorical question

/srs = serious

/g = genuine

/r = romantic

/p = platonic

/neg = negative connotation

/pos = positive connotation

At the end of the list is a subtitle reading “These might seem silly, but they prevent distress created by missing social cues” End ID]

Note from the IDer: Positive and negative connotation are very much like the trend of putting (affectionate) and (derogatory) after nouns.

[spacegayparty]

I have seen "/gen" as "genuine", too!

I have a story idea so I'm gonna ramble about that.

Basic idea for the story is that it's before Will & Nico get together, but it's painfully obvious they like each other. To "help" them, one of Will's siblings curses Nico to only tell the truth. Curses usually last about a week at most, so the rest of the Apollo cabin acts fast to try and get them together. Since Nico can't lie, but isn't compelled to just spill his secrets, he figures out something's up relatively fast and holes up in his cabin. This has the added effect of Will being worried about him, and it's easier for the Apollo kids to encourage him to check on Nico instead of flirt with him. It's during the check-up that both of their feelings come to light, Nico's first and then Will's very shortly after.

It's a prank-gone-wrong hurt/comfort kinda thing and now I really wanna write it

[screechingateveryone]

PJO characters as Unus Annus quotes, part 1 (part 2)

Leo: Listen, I'm a son of Hephestus-

Nico, hanging by duct tape attatched to a doorframe: I'm A sOn Of HePhEsTuS

Piper & Leo, 3 am at the wilderness school: PALMS SWEATY, KNEES WEAK, ARMSKEDY, VOMIT SWEAT ALREADY, MOM SGETTI, ✨nervous✨

Leo: What do you do when your cut's not going straight?

Percy: You grow auto-correct.

Leo: You what?

*Messing with Octavian*

Octavian, floating in the little tiber: Are you trying to drown me?!

Percy, who is actively trying to drown him, but stealthily: Do you feel close to the Gods?

Octavian: I feel close to the Gods, I'm just a little concerned.

Percy: Do you feel relaxed?

Octavian: Less by the second, actually.

Percy: That's how it-you gotta slip into it. It's an eeasy little drop. Think of it as… drifting off to sleep. The most restful sleep you've ever had. What the most restful sleep you ever had?

Octavian: Any other sleep but this one!

Percy: Exactly, just sink, lower and lower, into the best sleep you've ever had.

Octavian: Ok…

Percy: Just keep breathing, even when it seems like maybe you shouldn't, just keep breathing, in and out. That's right. Everything will be ok.😈

Percy, mouth full of gum: Hey, Annabeth! What's the most amount of gum chewed at the same time?

Annabeth, sleep deprived & not paying attention: What sport?

*Blowing up yard bumper balloons*

Jason: Who's a big boy?

Leo: I am!

Jason, kneeling in front of Leo: Wha-who's a big boy?

Leo: I'm about to be😏

Jason & Leo: *burst out laughing*

Leo, talking about very early childhood: No one had to do anything when I was the my age!

Percy: You haven't been able to talk for a while.

Leo: I haven't been able to talk since I was born.

Leo, trying to recreate Daedalus' wings: Ooooh. Oowewewewowoe. That's-that's hot. And that's Icarus o-and that on Icarus.

Frank: Now, what's the embouchure?

Leo: Oh-it's the area behind the taint right before the butthole.

Percy: Math wasn't my strong suit. Nor were anything else.

Annabeth, holding back laughter: Obviously.

[screechingateveryone]

I have a question! It might be obvious, but I haven't read ToA yet and I'm determinded to finish the book I'm reading rn before starting it. ANYWAY. Do we know how long Leo was away from camp? How did he return? Like, did he shoot fireworks while riding Festus and then land on the beach with Calypso? Did he crash onto the beach in a ball of fire while Calypso rode Festus safely down? What kind of entrance did this dramatic mf pull off??

What was everyone's reaction to him returning? I imagine at least one person hit him, straight up decked, Bitch Slapped, or "friendly" shoulder punched him, but someone fucking hit him. Followed by both individual and group hugs, all almost lung-crushing.

AND CALYPSO! She's a myth! A legend! Known for being trapped on an island in solitude! And now she's just? Here? In front of them?? I need to know about what happened when they got to camp!!

[screechingateveryone]

I saw a post suggesting that liper was a thing before Hera threw Jason into the mix and essentially made both Leo and Piper think they weren't dating as a kinda passive-agressive thing towords Hephestus? Anyway, with me enjoying both jiper & valgrace, it made me go "Ooh, thruple!" So now I can't stop thinking about one of them asking Hedge about their (Piper & Leo's) time at the wilderness school and him saying something like "You two were hell when you actually agreed on a prank to pull. You set the math teacher's desk on fire too many times to count." Then they ask for more details bc ofc they played pranks on the teachers, so he tells them stories about how much trouble they got into and eventually he goes "One time you were caught on the roof during a meteor shower. Pretty sure they still don't know how you two got up there." And that just kinda makes them go "what?"

And that's how they find out that Leo & Piper were dating before Hera fucked with them. They talk about it and some feelings come out. Eventually, they decide to try a poly relationship

That's all I've got, but I honestly can't stop thinking about it help

[didnt-want-to-be-a-halfblood]

Children of Athena having a fear of spiders, yes, yes, of course

But what about children of Apollo having a fear of snakes? Hmm? Does Will give a terrified scream and rush to get Nico when a little garden snake comes slithering into the infirmary?

[screechingateveryone]

Ok, but what if Nico is on the complete other side of that spectrum? Like, he has no fear of non-venomus snakes and is only wary of venomus snakes? So whenever any of the Apollo campers have a snake problem they ask Nico to deal with it if a satyr isn't nearby. It's mostly Will at first, but the others catch onto how unfazed Nico is and just kinda start doing it too.
