Artist &quot;Cringe Culture&quot; Is Dead

Oh! Well, I guess it depends on where you wanna start. Because if it's for SU, we have both Homeworld and Earth. It's best to probably start with Homeworld because of the impact they have on Earth would influence how Earth evolves and adapts.

Every source claims wedingo is an evil spirit that twists person into s murderous cannibal. And it exists in real life as a disorder that makes people crave human flesh and kill their families. How is wedingo a good thing?? Why would anyone find it scared? No respect for people who worship murderous cannibals and use "he's possessed by an evil spirit" to defend their actions. Sounds like that Christian priest who said pedophilic priests were controlled by satan and did nothing wrong.

Anon, while the wendigo is an evil spirit it is specifically an evil spirit in Algonquian tribes beliefs. From what I understand, it's used as to deter people from resorting to cannibalism, but in some variants, greed can also turn one into a wendigo.

Yes there is a term called "wendigo psychosis" but from what I understand it's a controversial term and psychiatrists call a "culture-bound syndrom". I have no clue what Algonquian tribes have to say or how they feel about wendigo psychosis though.

I dunno what this ask is trying to say past this point because wendigos aren't good? And I don't think anyone is saying that being possessed by the wendigo spirit excuses cannibalism? To my understanding it's "if you eat another person you become an ever starving monster as punishment for your actions" and not "it's okay to eat people! They were possessed!".

dumbasses: people only care about sex repulsed/sex negative aro aces who don't date :(

me, looking through the ace positivity tag only finding positivity for allo aces, aro allos, orientated aroaces, sex positive aces, aces who have sex, etc.: lol

anyway,

aces who don't have sex and don't want to date because of their orientation are fucking great.

Frankly, I don't care for most of this but sex negative is the wrong term. Sex repulsed and/or averse are terms meaning you personally do not like sex, sexual conact, or sexual situations. It applies only to you and your personal feelings.

Sex negative is the opposite of sex positive. If you are sex negative you are against anyone having sex for any reason, against the concept of sex itself or as anything more than a means of reproduction, and against people having sexual agency. It's a common mistake but it's frustrating to see people use sex negative when they mean repulsed/averse.

lol I wrote "sex repulsed/sex negative" cuz I mean both, and I do know what sex negative means since I used to be that.

Being sex negative isn't something to be positive about though so I don't understand why it's in the post?? It's literally the ideaology steeped in sex-shaming and desexualization as well as the demonization of sex. Not to mention the constant shaming and pressuring of sex repulsed/averse people(and many more) to have and enjoy sexual relationships that falls under refusing them sexual agency.

Like, I've never seen a single person say sex negative people should have positivity or give them positivity because it's against everything a lot of us have fought for. People don't care enought to give sex negative people positivity because their ideology is toxic and harmful. Especially in the ace community since we face a lot of sex negativity directed at us for our personal choices and feelings as well as the constant stripping of our sexual agency by non-aces and general aphobes.

are you sure you're reading my post right cuz it makes perfect sense for it to be there

Yeah? It says "people only care about sex repulsed and sex negative aces" in the first line and the next is you talking about how you usually only see positivity for sex favorable and sex positive aces.

The last bit makes it seem like you think sex negative people need positivity and support like sex repulsed or averse people do because you put it along side sex repulsed as if they're the same or a similar thing when they aren't. The way it's written gave me the impression that you think sex negative people should have positivity for upholding toxic beliefs and I find it extremely confusing.

no I don't think sex negative ppl should have positivity. but it's smthn ppl say they get when that isn't true. cuz everyone's complaints when it comes to what aces get attention is basically "[aces who get no attention/positivity] are the only ones who get attention/positivity" and that really annoys me as someone who is the kind of ace that supposedly gets all the attention when our existence is actually basically ignored, both in positivity and discourse

Okay. Thanks. I was just trying to make sure you knew the difference between sex repulsed and sex negative, so otherwise I have no complaints.

Oops, sorry, wrong blog. Really have to change the icon on that one so I stop confusing them.

How do you think Aaravos will get out of the mirror?

The "key" cube will unlock the spell that put him in the mirror.

Aaravos somehow uses a dark magic to posess Viren's body. They take turns in control.

Viren convinces Caudia to go to Xadia and search for the spell to release Aaravos.

The spell to get him out is a variant of the "your soul is my treasure" coin trick.

The worm grows into a humanoid creature that is Aaravos's new body.

He never gets out, just puppetmasters from inside.

So I I keep thinking about the magic coins Viren has in The Dragon Prince. You know the ones.

One of the end credits had art of the same coins.

Going off this, Viren has 4 coins. If this is right, and there aren't any more coins then who might the other three be? It could be random people who got in his why, sure.

But what if it's not random people. I've seen one theory that he trapped Harrow in a coin but I don't think that's likely. What if the three in the coins were the three dead queens? According to his story, Vixen was the only one left behind with them while the others fled Xadia. He says himself he saw Sarai die. But if he hid and waited Thunder out then maybe he could have gone back for the queens, whether or not his intention would have been good is up to debate.

I wouldn't really call this a this a theory really, just an idea. But it would be and interesting twist.

You are at constant war with your rival. The feud between you two is nothing short of legendary and it has lasted longer than there has been life on this planet. For every push he makes, you stand firm, forever at war. The very mention of you makes your nemesis quiver. He is Poseidon, god of the ocean. You are the Sand Guardian, Guardian of the Sand.

chichidoodles

You’ve finally done it. Finally learned how to banish Poseiden to the depths of the ocean and become the victor in your ancient feud. Watching the god approach the shores with his usual confidence brings a smug smile to your face. He walks with his shoulders thrown back, long hair swaying behind him and an air of superiority. That’s how he’s always been. You’ve seen him quiver at your presence, but he still tried to throw his weight around.

You hate it, and today you hope to see that change.

He’s closer now, almost within earshot. You know he must hear your words, but you hesitate. Why? It was fun at first, but that’s long worn off. Dealing with an arrogant god is always tiring. Maybe it’s because this has become routine, or maybe there’s a fondness you’ve developed that is hard to admit exists.

But this has to end somehow. As he draws closer you breathe in deep and scream as loudly as you can, “FUCK OFF!”.

One of the worst “feminist” takes ive seen about cinderalla are the ones which are sympathizing with her step sisters just bc they were “ugly” and cinderella was “pretty” like ive seen SO MANY retellings, analysis and conspiracy threads of Cinderella where either cinderella’s stepsisters are painted as some pitiable girls who did everything bc they were ugly and did all that because they were forced by the patriarchy to see their worth in their looks and winning a man’s affections OR where cinderella is portrayed as some evil mastermind or shallow girl obsessed with her looks who mistreated her sisters bc they were “ugly” and its baffling how all of them completely miss the entire point of cinderella .

Cinderella is literally a story about a kind orphan girl who was legit treated her like a slave and abused for her whole life by her step mother and stepsisters who still tried to prevent her from attending the ball and how things turned out in her favor in the end bc she was a good person which is the reason she had a fairy godmother in the first place.

The fact that so many “feminists” see cinderella’s message as “if you are pretty everything will turn out in your favor and ugly people will always lose” instead of “If you are a good person and spread kindness good things will happen to you too in the end no matter how hard bad people try to go against you” tells alot about how these people practice their feminism lol.

Implying that her stepsisters are someone to be sympathized with also implies that cinderella should be blamed for her abuse because she was “pretty” which yeah,is pretty shitty.

Also i rarely see anyone creating all those retellings , analysis etc with the prince as bad who only judged women’s worth on the basis of their looks but then again those are the same people who think cinderella deserved all her abuse bc she was “pretty” so
