can you not recommend/show appreciation for indie media without criticizing another series?
1-it’s kind of insulting to the series you introduced, bringing them down to just alternatives for this one show, as if that’s all they have to give or be compared to?
2-your needlessly hating on a series many people genuinely enjoy, for no reason, when you could have just? loved on the shows for what they are? do they not deserve that? this isn’t even a post giving any sort of opinion or contribution to the “critic” side of the shows watchers. this isn’t a ‘critical’ post. there’s no take or opinion being given. just completely unrelated show recommendations…?
instead you seemingly feel the need to harp on the popularity of vivzie creations/ vivzie haters to actually appreciate these COMPLETELY unrelated projects. all love and respect, that’s disappointing on so many levels. it also kind of sucks to rely on someone you hate so much to give you that audience…
this is all meant with respect, and is my own critical take, i hope there’s mutual respect in that regard at least
100% peace and love and feel free to ignore this if you so please /gen
have a lovely day💚
1. You can like a show and be critical of it. I ase no issue with what I'm doing.
2. I simply cannot find any reason why it's harmful to criticize a show and bring up a show in the same "space" as Viz when even the Indie space hates her.
3. I mean it's my blog. It's for critics to find other things. I don't know what you'd expect for me to say. You could've fully ignored the posts.
In conclusion. I appreciate the ask but approaching me in inbox just to ask me to not use tags is ridiculous. Especially when I'm not going to support someone who doesn't like my kind. I'm not dealing with Trans Male hate (EDIT: ANON TREATED THIS AS TRANSPHOBIUA WHEN I AM MENTIONING OF VIVIZIEPOP'S TRANSPHOBIA. I AM NOT TRANSPHOBIC, NOR DID I INTENTIONALLY USE THIS TO BE TRANSPHOBIC, I AM SIMPLY NOT GONNA ANSWER ANYONE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT TRY TO COME IN MY INBOX TO DEFEND VIVZIEPOP.) regardless.
Not exactly a vent today, it's writing advice/support
I have this idea for a marauders fic I wanna write. Its something I think I could write well and I want to create it for other people to read. But I haven't written a lot of fanfic, mostly because I feel weird writing about charecters other people see differently. And not in the jkr sense like idc so much abt og authors tho I do plan to follow some canon, more the problem is I just feel really hesitant to put my work up in a place where other people *also* write about the exact same charecters and have equal rights to me in terms of its not like they're my charecters, because I don't want other people's vision to affect mine. Idk. I know I could just not share but I feel like it fills a hole in the vast tapestry of fan fic cause if it didn't, I could just go read abt it instead of having to write it. I went through a list of all the named marauders Era charecters and figured I'd pick a couple to use that don't feel so fleshed out in fanon so that I don't have to stress abt that aspect of it. Basically I love barty as a charecter and I feel like my idea of him matches enough that I can write him, but not so much like remus or lily or like Marlene and Mary and the other female charecters? Especially for the girls there seems to be so little Canon but they always seem written so complexely it scares me.
Also parents by yungblud was actually written by barty I don't make the rules.

Honestly, I think you should write about and post about whoever you want! Why do other people in fandom have more of a right to characters than you do? (Hint: they don't.) You have every right to write characters how you want, and I guarantee you that someone out there will love how you write them BECAUSE it's different. And anyone who doesn't can use the back button or fuck right off.

Misunderstanding Anon
Okay. So, I accidentally had a small misunderstanding with an only partial acquaintance at the time and it accidentally turned into one of the biggest lies I've ever told?
At first I just let it go because like... what does it matter? It's not like it's really going to make a difference anyway? And we're not even friends so who cares?
But now we're like months into our relationship and what had started off as it wouldn't matter has slowly turned into, well fuck how am I supposed to tell him now??
And it's not a big lie either! As an example it would be like he assumed I was vegetarian and I wasn't, but now it gets brought up so much and my anxiety had just kinda forced me into pretending it's true so now I'm like fuck is this my life from now on?
Because it's gotten to the point where it just feels like this HUGE secret and I know you'll say to come clean, but what if he hates me for lying this whole time?
I could try to explain that it really was a misunderstanding at first, and I know it wasn't right of me to not correct it when things started getting serious, but he's so big about honesty and I'm just so worried this would make us fall apart?
Its just over something SO stupid and I have no idea what I'm going to do??
*anyone else seeing this is free to jump in too if you have thoughts😭*
Hi <3
Okay so this is honestly (ha) a really hard situation because there's no easy answer. But let's think of the possibilities.
Let's say you don't say anything. Then from there, he could either never find out and you continue to feel guilty like this (doesn't sound fun) or he DOES find out, but from someone else. I think probably wouldn't end up good.
Let's say you DO say something. He could get mad, yeah. But at least you're in control of when and where that happens. And maybe if you write something out, similarly to how you did here, he'll understand and your relationship will be okay.
So yea...there's no easy decision. But I'm not gonna lie, I think you should tell him. Especially if it's a small thing, I think the odds are you can get through it if you tell him on your own.

Thoughts Anon
Hi hon <3
I'm so sorry about what happened with you and V.
Here's the thing, I'm not sure how much YOU can do. If V's parents are doing something abusive (like...from a legal standpoint) then what I would suggest is to have V's friend who lives nearby report them. But ONLY do that if you're sure you can prove the abuse. Because if not, that'll just piss them off more.
If you can't prove abuse, then the best thing to do, sadly, is to wait. Because if you keep trying to contact her, her parents could see and it could make them angrier. Try to stay in contact with her through her friend to know she's okay and leave it at that. I'm sure she'll eventually find a way to contact you <3

Justify Anon
Hi, it's justify anon again (sorry)
So one of my close school friends had to fly out to another country the other day because her grandpa was ill (it's the middle of the term, so not really convenient) and I found out this morning that he died. You don't have to answer this if it's triggering or upsetting or anything, but if you do, I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to be there for her when she comes back.
Thank you, I hope you have a great day <3
Hi <3
I think just reminding her that you're there to talk to, and also asking questions about good memories of him. I've found that people who've lost loved ones tend to like to talk about the good times, like relive good memories. So you can be there to listen to those <3

Confession ig anon
I'm just gonna put the first part of your ask
hey cas, I've sent some asks before but under a diff name, because this isn't smth I want to really talk about a lot it's just kind of a confession ig?
Okay I'm not trying to negate your feelings at all, but i'm going to very gently suggest that maybe you're confusing enjoying attention with actual feelings. It's okay to enjoy attention, but that doesn't mean you have genuine feelings of attraction, you know? And like you said...hormones can do crazy things. I say this because when you mention him, you have only talk about how he treats you, not anything about him or who he is as a person.
So maybe you can keep in mind how you like to be treated, and look for someone who treats you that way, that you also like as a person and is healthy for you.

Hi Cas,
Guess Anon here
It's okay that you didn't see it - I was debating sending this for a good week before I saw him and only plucked up the courage the night before so its mostly my fault - I know you get a lot of asks as well too.
I just don't want him to find out that I'm repeatedly lying to him cause that'll make him more and more angry, and trust me that isn't safe.
Luckily my sister goes back to University soon, and generally he only sees us when its the both of us rather than just one kid, so hopefully I wont have to see him until whenever my sister visits. I also rely on him a bit (?) He pays like £13 child support per kid per month - but only if the kid is in education, hence why he's still paying for my sister thats in Uni - which means as soon as he knows that I'm not in college, my mum will receive £13 less - which yes, isnt much, but also we are really poor. He could pay more and I know he could, when we go out he's always buying me and my sister stuff (probably to lovebomb(?) us into hanging out with him)
I hope that when he finds out, he isn't violent, but this is the man that was very violent to me when I was a baby, so I know my hopes wont mean shit to him.
When he finds out, and if he is angry, I will probably message you if thats okay, and I'll come off of anon (obv you probably know who it is already, this is more for when you share it etc)
Thank you again Cas
Yes please keep me updated! Just remember that whatever you need to do to stay safe- lying, staying away from him, whatever, is totally valid. You don't owe him anything.
hi! previous anon, i’ll leave you alone dw (lighthearted) but wow i’m kinda…appalled????
i respect all your opinions and want to clarify i’m not trying to convince you to stop doing anything, i can just block your blog if the tagged posts continue to bother me! (nothing personal ofc, i’m just also critical of the series and like using those tags to surf, again i had no real expectation of you changing what your doing!💚) i disagree with some of what you said but thts not a negative thing, just normal!
what i do find , respectfully, ridiculous, is you trying to make this a trans hate thing.
i am. also trans. for one. i’m genuinely offended. i don’t blame you if that means nothing to you as i’m a stranger but wow
also, i had no idea you were ALSO trans, and made absolutely zero commentary on anything pertaining to gender sex or identity. whatsoever. i’m so unsure of where you got that from💔
please do not pull implications like tht out of nowhere. it harms us. it really does. it makes people take trans people less seriously when we face and address actual harassment and prejudice.
that aside, total respect to you, i’m just another guy on the internet and i wish you luck💚
Ah apologies if it comes off across as it. It's just I mistook you as a stan and got a little carried away. I myself have gotten annoyed with most of Viz's BS and the fans as well.
I'm what you say on The Spectrum. As so to speak. I get overly defensive in nature. I mistook the criticism as offensive. I just fins it stupid to ask or police someone to not use tags wheb nearly half of everyone used tags in a way.
I feel icky being told what to do even if it's a suggestion.
The whole trans hate thing is not on me. I pointed out that Viz is perpetrating it (although poorly) and wanted to point out more issues under the distinct impression of you being a stan.
So mistakes on my end.
I'm reiterating again. I'm not a Viz Hate Page nor this account is meant to be Hazbin centered. I want to write my DBZ fanfictions and share cringe.
