i have been trying to figure out why the whole 'fae god' and katniss everdeen things with kendrick lamar on here were bothering me, and i think i finally put it into words.
most posts like that are probably coming from well-meaning white people (i am also partially a White People, to be clear), who otherwise dont really listen to rap. they cannot find a way to 'relate' to this black man who sings largely about issues that affect the black community– and rather than try and meet him where he is, they have to fit him into these little tumblr cultural boxes before he can be 'palatable' to them.
they have to shave off the rougher/more abrasive aspects of his work and activism because it makes them uncomfortable, that way they can pigeonhole him into something that allows them to enjoy his work without the critical analysis that MUST come with it
he is not your fae god, he is not a YA protagonist, he is not a little gremlin or a cinnamon roll or a blorbo. He is a human being with opinions and beliefs that deeply permeate his work, and to ignore that truth is to ignore the entire point. PLEASE try to engage with artists' work outside of the lens of tumblr fandom, and i mean that as nicely as possible. you are doing YOURSELF a disservice
some of my favourite understatements, overstatements, and downplayings I've seen about rocky/eridians in general:
- he weighs 35 kilos
- he weighs 3 tonnes
- he sees differently than humans
- he's "nice and warm"
- their atmosphere has "some" ammonia in it
Every time a D*stiel shipper uses how Cas and Dean look at each other as proof of their ship, I think of how Sam and Dean look at each other. But of course, when you mention it to the hellers, they say it’s a look of “brotherly love”. I’m sorry, I would never look at my siblings the way Sam and Dean look at each other.
And then there’s the bunch of gifs of Dean holding Sam’s face/head while he’s injured, petting his hair. And then there’s this:
Not looking at each other, but Dean’s arm is around Sam. Maybe it’s just my family but my siblings never do that, so I’d imagine other families probably don’t either.
I’d like to include the gif of Dean telling Sam “Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole” but the gif is too big for tumblr apparently. Could just get a screenshot but whatever.
There has not been as much sexual/romantic tension in the way Dean looks at Cas (and the other way around) as there is when Dean looks at Sam (again, other way around too). Will they listen to me? No. Do I still like to make fun of them for this? Yes.
I would love for others to include their own screen caps of scenes like this. Pinterest kinda sucks (I got all of these from there) so these were the best I could get. I know there’s more because they’re constantly giving each other fuck-me eyes.
my sister doesn’t watch nearly as much drawfee as me, but fae has watched a lot of deepblueink and listened to me ramble a lot. fae started doing the whole “gnoming” thing that julia was doing to nathan, though it was mostly just sending the image randomly. made me laugh, but it wasn’t more than that.
now, i’ve also been helping faer write a multi-chapter fanfic, and for that reason i know a lot of things out other friends don’t. tonight, my sister told me fae had a secret notes doc fae’d been working on behind the scenes. fae asked if i wanted to see it and of course i said yes.
fae sent me the link.
i opened it.
it was a picture of the goddamn gnome.
Will Solace is so protective of Nico he discovered not one, not two, but THREE of his hidden powers only to protect him.
Like. This is just very insane to me. His protectiveness over Nico is so strong and so intrinsic that it unlocked inner parts of him that he had no idea existed, and in some cases parts of him he probably unconsciously kept away.
And it’s crazy that people undermine this protectiveness, because it’s genuinely such a consistent main trait in Will.
I don't know if this is controversial, but I really hate post-prison c!Dream content written by apologists. I really really hate sympathetic sad Dream. And before anyone assumes, it's not because I dislike his character or believe he deserved torture it's just because.... he would not fucking do that???
I don't know, it seems like at a certain point of "understanding c!Dream" people loop around to just completely mischaracterizing him? It's like the same thing people on the other side do to c!Tommy where they just baby him to the point of him being a different character.
I think one of the most interesting parts of Dream's character is that he doesn't cry about it. He gets tortured for months and his only reaction is "man that sucked, I didn't deserve that. ANYWAYS!" qnd he moves tf on with his life. Like Dream complains ab prison arc like someone tripped him mid-walk and he's mildly annoyed about it. And something about people turning a character who's main trait is that he takes what hurts him and uses it as fuel into a sobbing sniveling mess in the corner is soooo like. Idk. I'm just talking. Anyway.
