I think it was you who mentioned that the Abyssal Hunters were exiled from their homeland after slaying a Seaborn god. Is there any info about Why they were exiled?

I don't think that was me because they weren't exiled.

They can't go back yet, for reasons presumably known only to Gladiia, but she reassures Skadi that Aegir hasn't abandoned them.

If you ask me, it's probably a safety measure regarding the Abyssal Hunters specifically: An Abyssal Hunter has Seaborn blood in her, and risks mutating into something more akin to a Seaborn than an Aegir. The Corrupting Heart is a theoretical, what-if scenario about what would happen if Skadi, for example, were to fully give in and transform into a Seaborn. Gladiia herself is slowly but steadily transforming (her neck is significantly mutated). It's probably to see if it's safe to have these Hunters back in Aegir society, and, well, their concerns are very well founded, given The Corrupting Heart by herself is potentially a doomsday scenario (as if Terra needed more of those).

Weirdo asks 46 and 9

So yeah I lost this ask game somewhere on my blog and had to reblog it again XD

9. Which do you prefer, hot coffee or cold coffee?

Neither I don't like coffee x) But if I had to choose I'd go with hot, for cold I'd just drink an energy drink since trying not to fall asleep is the only time i drink either.

46. Favorite holiday film?

I have an absolutely blank mind at the moment so I'll give the most Polish answer and say Home Alone, it's about the culture around it not the movie itself ✨

Thanks for this ask tho!

I guess there is also Emperor himself to consider. He's been alive for 50,000 years and was the most powerful human in existence. That kind of stuff would make it hard for him to empathize with his Sons and their issues.

The Emperor of Mankind, also called The Super Boomer.

True, but he could have seen it as an opportunity to finally have someone with him for ever. They knew that Malcador wasn't immortal and all the other immortal beings left him or died, so he could finally find a way to create a family or something.

Also, I believe the Emp has the emotional intelligence of a brick of ice, a trait he shares with Lion.

man, i dunno why so many anons gotta be such massive jackasses, you don't deserve it. hell, i don't even ship ryuketsu (I lean towards a more queerplatonic partnership interpretation, and im generally allergic to romantic shipping anyways) and i still deeply appreciate the thought and research and care you put into your meta.

Fuck the opinions of others and enjoy what you love! They don’t own you, listening to them doesn’t make you happy so screw them with a pineapple.

Also Ryuko and Senketsu is a valid ship.

@eric-coldfire reblogged your photo and added:

Absolute valid ship, op. Ignore the haters and keep being you.

@kuribo4indahouse​​ reblogged your post and added:

Just laugh at these Goop.

@badgerjaw​​ replied to your post “goops, you’re starting to stoop to the level of those that are bugging…”

I don’t think this anon knows what patronizing means, nor can they tell the difference between getting a big head and acknowledging the amount you do in this fandom. To each their own, nonny, cheers

@badgerjaw replied to your post “You realize some of us don’t have Tumblr accounts, we’re coming over…”

At least the shirt in question can consent; wonder if these nonnies are gonna get on the people who abuse their non-sentient socks?

@korra-n-stuff​​ replied to your post “You realize some of us don’t have Tumblr accounts, we’re coming over…”

can these anons please go away? you’re wonderful goop, dont change. These people just has sticks in their asses

@fromtheriverbanks​​ replied to your post “Guys, come on. It’s a work of fiction. People are allowed to like…”

I love your analysis. I tend to agree with the stuff about Ryuko and Senketsu and think it’s a big part of what makes the show beautiful. If there were PhDs in Kill la Kill, you would deserve one.

Hey, thank you for the supportive comments.

I don’t approve of the behavior of the anons, but it’s totally fair to think that my ship isn’t valid, or my points are bad, or I’m embarrassing and hilarious, with my head up my butt, or whatever. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. And when it comes to my opinions on cartoons, I’m more than open to discussion. That’s why I write so many essays about this stuff in the first place. I want to know what people think. I want to consider other points of view.

The problem isn’t that the anons disagree with me; I don’t mind at all that they do! When it comes to Ryuketsu, I really, seriously, hardly focus on them romantically at all (at least, I think so). I just really enjoy their relationship and find it sweet. Not everyone will think it’s sweet, and that’s fine! You don’t have to follow me or my work. You could even block out all my “ramblings” and just look at my news posts (which I should really get back on…), reblogs, and translations of official material. 

I do a lot of work here, but nobody has to like it. No matter how hard I try, I know I’ll never be good enough for lots of people in this fandom. I won’t lie and say it doesn’t hurt—it does—but I can’t fault anyone for that. I won’t jive with everyone. That’s the way of things.

The problem is that these messages are personally insulting and discriminatory over my opinions on cartoon, and when I defend myself, I’m suddenly the one being cruel. To the anons being less than savory, I struggle a lot with my self-worth. My saying that I don’t think others would think highly of you for attacking me isn’t me being big-headed; it’s simply true. So many people have sent me supportive messages, with their names attached. Just look at this list. If I were to say that your attacking me didn’t matter to anyone else but me, then that would be a slap in the face to those who are going out of their way to speak in my defense. What you’re doing affects more than just me, and given that I still haven’t received any messages on Discord, I feel like you all understand very well that what you’ve been doing is wrong. 

I’m not sorry for being disappointed. I thought our community was better than this. I’m honestly heartbroken that it seems there’s just been this big mass of angry people who were waiting for the opportunity to spam my inbox with hate.

If anyone would like to discuss a problem they have with me, there are so many better ways than to fill my inbox with vitriol. It doesn’t feel good to get called out for doing something problematic, but I am always aiming to be better. If I could be a better person or content creator in some way, or if my readings on this show are really hurtful to you, I am willing to listen and discuss that with you. But I am not okay with being ragged on like this. Nobody should be okay with this kind of treatment over opinions about cartoons.

Oh, and the “shirtfucker” comment is completely uncalled for. Just because I like a character and think that he can be a romantically viable partner for someone doesn’t mean that I suddenly want to fuck him. Believe it or not, you can like someone without wanting to have sex with them or harboring some romantic interest for them.

It was probably inappropriate to write all this on a post meant for thanks. I thank all of you for taking the time to support me. I’ve felt so bad and hopeless, so it’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone, no matter how much I (and these anons) might try to convince me that I am.

In the end, I’m upset with the anons, but I want to know what they would like from me. I’m not asking them to change their opinions, so why should I have to change mine? I agree that what I like is problematic, but I don’t glorify those problematic elements and recognize that it’s totally fair for others to not like what I like because of them. If what I say is seen as so silly and stupid, why care so much to look at my words?

But regardless, I will keep being me. I have too much love in my heart for what I love. I’m very glad that there are others out there who want to love it with me (even if maybe not quite as much!)

eldritchgentleman reblogged your post: Also consider that fascism was a globally...

Read up on Holodomor. It was an actual genocide against Ukrainian people.

No, I’m aware, but it wasn’t a fundamental, inextricable element of Marxism-Leninism. It was an atrocity and a genocide, but it wasn’t comparable tot he holocaust. It was the action of an occupying power attempting to suppress dissent, rather than the natural result of a domestic government attempting to create an other along religious and ethnic lines.

I wish I was wrong but hating something and putting people down because of it gives people quite a rush. I wish I was wrong...

we know damn well some idiots worry more about the shit they dislike than the stuff they’re supposed to enjoy, that’s precisely why the post was made, to tell those people to mind their own business instead of going on spreading hate, so your addition was unnecessary because it sends the post back to step 1, you see? it makes it look like you’re justifying them... Having fun mostly by hating other things/others is clearly not sane behaviour and there should be no further discussion about it.

eldritchgentleman replied to your post “I made this fun collage about Witcher fans:”

@namesonboats​ Honestly though this is spitting on the source material. There is no canon basis for Ciri being non-white. There are characters who are black in Witcher but they are few because the book takes place in the North of this world and few black people would have any business going there. I have nothing against a black character in Witcher but raceshifting Ciri feels just so lazy and disrespectful to the Slavic people who are portrayed in a negative anyway

I’m jumping back onto this blog briefly to ask you why the hell you think a post where I compiled evidence of racism in the fandom, including slurs and death threats, is an appropriate place to have this kind of discussion? Go make your own post if you want to discuss this.
