A Few Reminders Because I’m Tired And Angry

Not an analysis post, but I just want to share to you this part that I noticed when I re-watched Yorknew City arc.

Remember in episode 56 or something when they had to search for the scarlet eyes to track Kurapika?

Look at the whole troupe looking for it:

They're all working so hard and then there's that MF clown:

THIS MF CLOWN

This man. He's just standing over some wooden boxes and not even trying to look like he's searching for the scarlet eyes. Not even trying put in a millimeter ounce of effort.

And you know what else is crazy?

Do you see where he's facing towards? He's facing towards somewhere in the right-corner of the place.

And of course he's looking down. And do you know who is in the direction he's looking at?

Frickin' Machi.

This man decided to spend his time hovering over Machi. Scarlet eyes who? Only Machi.

I bet he was flirting and bothering her all throughout xD

No wonder Machi is so done with him and Phantom Troupe assigned Machi to him. If this is how Hisoka is, then oml it all makes sense.

Of course, they just gave up on making him do work. He's beyond saving

sorry im making so many of these at breakneck speed. Im on vacation 

FB worldbuilding: Light and Darkness have to keep in balance in the Realities. The Great Valokas is the ruler of the 1st, and Mabuka the ruler of the 5th Reality. Our concept of death only exists in the 3rd and 4th reality.

Me: okay

FB lore: TG Valokas died in a war with the darkness, Mabuka still lives tho.

Me:

"Think I'm getting butterflies but it's really

something telling me to run away"

Still frames below the cut ❁

thought I'd give bright neon colors a try. It was fun but I think I'll be sticking to pastels

I'm sorry but saying "don't write dark or taboo fiction or at least keep it private because it might trigger someone or someone might get off to it." is exactly like saying "don't talk about the abuse you suffered because it might trigger someone or someone might get off to it."

It is the exact same thing. Telling someone they aren't allowed to talk about their own lived experience because some random stranger might be triggered, made uncomfortable, or even aroused by it is unbelievably fucking disgusting.

Whether someone is writing dark/taboo fiction to cope or not is 100% irrelevant because someone else's trauma is not your business, and you can't know.

You shouldn't tell a victim to never talk about their trauma, so you shouldn't tell people what they can and cannot write about, because at the end of the day, you don't know and it's not your business. Block and mute things/people you don't want to see, and move the fuck on with your life.

Misfortune, taking a selfie XD

Poor doggy...

the light only you can see

Twitter is slowly but surely dying

I might as well came back here soon

dark mode galaxy-themed ao3 site skin

Since the frog theme I made earlier was light mode, I decided to make a dark mode skin as well. This one is galaxy-themed and in shades of purple, pink, and blue.

You can get the code and instructions for how to use it here.

I'm going to be fully honest, I hate the use of problematic as a coined term for fictional ships. I feel like problematic has just become one of those terms tossed around at anything and everything and often used as a gotcha net.

"I don't care about your ships as long as they're not problematic."

Okay. Are we talking about incest or just a ship where they have clashing political opinions?

Am I not allowed to ship the sentient wolf creature with the twink or am I not allowed to ship the two middle aged store clerks who have different views on wanting children?

What if one half of my canon ship gets de-aged to eighteen? Is it suddenly problematic to ship them for as long as that character remains de-aged?

What kind of age brackets are we defining as problematic these days? What are the cut-off points for when its not problematic for two people to fall in love? What if one person has a birthday before the other one and for a few months they're not part of that acceptable bracket anymore?

Problematic is just being used as a one-word way to shut people down and force them to comply with your own expectations and boundaries. Problematic is thrown around as a way to box people into behaving and existing in ways that make you comfortable.

"I don't like the way that you exist so I'm going to brand you as this negative word that forces you to change to suit my preferences or be shunned by society."

Problematic means to constitute as or to present a problem. It is not the shiny new term for 'if you ship this thing you're a terrible person.'
