✧ From Oneiro, with love...
Hello hello! I'm Oneiro (oh-narrow), and I'm happy to meet you!
I'm an indie solo dev that's working on my first ever project, a game called I Wanna Eat Your Heart Out that's about love, death, and understanding who you really are inside. I'll talk here a little bit about my progress and the characters as I go, as well as some of my favorite indie titles in the scene right now! My only goal is to spread as much love in the community as I can <3
i've spent a bit more time in fan spaces outside of tumblr in recent years (media-specific subreddits for instance can be useful to see people's thoughts on a manga chapter that was just posted, all in one place) and there are plenty of community differences which is cool but there's this one thing that always sticks with me about some places on these non-tumblr fandoms
and that's that there are people who genuinely don't get how shipping works. like they get the part where people enjoy a pairing of characters regardless of gender, but they do not grasp that many shippers don't care if a pair becomes canon.
to you, a tumblr user, this probably sounds fucking stupid. it does to me at least. being in a fandom you get used to shipping and how it works. even if you're not into shipping: you, tumblrina, get that shippers can be entertained by a character pairing for any number of reasons. for fan enjoyment, characters are clonked together like dolls (shipping and otherwise) and that's just one way to have fun in a fandom.
but out in idiot realm you see people say stuff like "the shippers of [pairing, oftentimes m/m or f/f] are so stupid bc [pair] will never be canon" or "[pairing] doesn't even make any sense and people who ship them are dumb". a complete misunderstanding of how plenty of shippers may or may not care about their ships vs canon.
i didn't really get it at first but there is another infamous fandom activity that changed my view of those people's comments and that is ....... powerscaling. that which uses microscopic dissection of canon and analyses it for twenty pages of debate. when you think about it, it's pretty much the antithesis to the creative bundle of activities that are shipping and creation (art, fic, etc). in stark contrast to extrapolating from canon and making your own thing, powerscaling debates ask of participants an encyclopedic knowledge of canon and exactly what is portrayed within it.
somewhere along the way, the concept of "i'll do what i want, even if it doesn't fit canon or even if it goes against canon entirely" became sacrilegious to some fans. illogical. unthinkable. and, of course, silly and beneath them - that guy has a crush on a girl, so he could never ever be into men ever, because he's straight. on occasion there's a dash of homophobia to it, but that's beside the point.
anyway powerscaling sons have fanfic too, like "could [character] beat [character] (2 hour long yapfest youtube video)" and "what if goku was betrayed and locked in the time chamber for a thousand years how powerful and jacked and shirtless could he become" so it's funny how many fans look down on doing the same thing (having fun making shit up) except for romance. because thinking about love is a silly emotional activity for dumb fucking girly idiots who don't get canon at all.
open tumblr, see something that pisses me off, write a snarky post, delete it, write a slightly more earnest post, edit it for 5 minutes, delete it, close tumblr
(grits my teeth) i wish people would be more normal about the mentally ill and include everyone in their 'mental illness is valid and loved' and not just the ones that they personally like. human beings are capable of multitudes and some of those multitudes are nonsensical (thought disorders) and some of them are gross (also thought disorders, actually!)
(vagueposting) I saw a post I didn't like

if you keep referring to engaging with art & fiction as "consuming media" im beating you to death with a rock
Seeing someone comment “wow i never considered a schizophrenic person as the victim and not the serial killer” makes me so fucking mad. All those media portrayals are wrong!!! Schizophrenic serial killers are not common!!! Most criminals are entirely sane and usually neurotypical!!! People with schizophrenia are way more likely to be victims of abuse than perpetrators of it. We are not inherently violent. A schizophrenic person who deals with persecutory symptoms are not an immediate sign of harmful behavior. Its actually a lot more realistic for schizophrenics to be in victim roles in media
hey jsyk if you purposefully try or even successfully try to trigger paranoia in someone with paranoid psychosis or any type of paranoid delusion, no matter how ""funny"" or how much you hate them, i fucking hate your guts and i want you to reconsider why you think being ableist is a big punch up to someone who is probably too afraid to leave their room because we think someone will get us
Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.
Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.
what are the correct uses of people of colour and which ones are to be avoided?
Okay. Grammar lesson!
"People of color" is a noun. So use it as a noun.
"I am speaking about people of color."
People who are of color. People. People is a noun.
It is not, as the Internet likes to use it, an adjective!
"POC characters!" is the color blind racist equivalent of "colored characters!"
Do you want to call me colored? Is that the racism we really want to use? Old 1960s racism? Shall I go to the colored water fountain next? I'm sorry- the POC water fountain?
If you are talking about all non-white people as a group, use "People of Color".
"White people are used to being the default- which is why they get to be White and the rest of us are People of Color. The Other."
If you are talking about a specific group of people, and you KNOW that, then SAY their group and NOT "people of color".
"I am not just a person of color, I am Black. Antiblackness is about Black people, not all people of color. Otherwise, I'd just say racism. Words have meaning!"
