Babe. I Know We’re All Going Thru A Lot Rn But I Just Wanna Give U The Heads Up That Sesame Streets

i'm not anti timebomb, but watching ekko get reduced to just the other half of a ship pains me.

Thank you arcane lesbians for introducing me to such a wonderful ship as Vi/Gert

I don't have much energy for a full art, but damn, I am in love with them

i (foolishly) decided to step out of my little side pocket of the arcane fandom to see what people are saying about mel in regards to jayvik... and bruh. i wasted like... a couple minutes of my life reading a jayvik shipper's long ass take dismissing the misogynoir in the arcane fandom and i just need to rant.

there's nothing wrong with jayvik. there's nothing wrong with YOU if you like jayvik.

but having your head so deep up a ship's ass you don't notice the people around you being anti-black? then pretending like black fans are just making shit up to “spite your ship” or whatever bullshit you believe to make yourself feel better after pointing out the misogynoir that the fandom isn't even trying to hide? it's shit like this that prevents me, and a lot of other black fans from enjoying certain media in general.

and i just wanna say i don't think a lot of people are anti-jayvik because they're "butthurt" or whatever the fuck y'all say. IT'S BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE FUCKING WEIRDDDDDD WHEN IT COMES TO MEL.

ntm a couple days ago i saw a goofy ass Instagram reel saying "y'all couldn't even handle jayvik" nigga WHO? WHO IS Y'ALL? let's be so fr, jayvik is the most popular, well received ship in the whole show. go to the arcane ao3 tag right now and you'll see that shit in the top three up there with timebomb and caitvi (we also need to talk about how common it is for interracial relationships in media and fandoms to only be mainstreamed as long as one of the partners is white... but i digress, i digress.)

we can't handle a fandom doing what it does best; pairing the two men together and shitting on the woman? gtf 😭 this has been happening since the birth of the Internet. Hell, probably even before.

And the real kicker is, you don't HAVE to like Mel. I can understand why some people may not like her, and I'm not gonna sit here and say you have to like her just because she's black. But a lot of people are just regurgitating nasty anti-black talking points to justify their hatred for her instead of ACTUALLY having a valid reason to dislike her character.

mel is a colonizer. i won't deny that in the slightest. but the mass majority of the fandom don't care to dig deeper than the surface level representation she's given. it's always "she manipulated jayce!"/"she called them investments!" nigga go bathe.

i knew as soon as viktor appeared on screen the fandom was finna show they ass over that white man. i just KNEW fujo brain worms would takeover and all logic would go out the window. but trust me. you jayvik niggas aren't oppressed for wanting these men to kiss. y'all aren't even a minority. quit acting like you gotta protect yourself from big bad mel medarda and her stans.

and it's not even ALL jayvik shippers, but it's too damn many. they saw black woman near their fave and immediately decided to lynch her character. i'm saying lynch metaphorically and literally because of that disgusting jayvik serial killer au floating around in mel's tag. i have something to say about that to but i'll make another post. i'm disgusted, not shocked, and disappointed that this behavior is so normalized in fandom spaces.

since arcane season two decided to be more ship driven than narrative driven i feel like a lot of y'all feel... entitled, and people feel like they finally have the opportunity to express their anti-blackness in an environment where they can pull the homophobia and ableism card once you call out the weird shit they're doing.

tl;dr i don't wanna hear a jayvik shipper, nay, a NONBLACK person speak on fandom misogynoir ever again because y'all are just loud and wrong every damn time, and stop acting like black fans are fucking stupid for addressing it.

what if your url somehow had something to do with your future

as the motorfang district attorney i can confirm these are all 100% true and real

motorfang headcannons because i think of them constantly

- they watch jeopardy together and compete with each other to win

- they both HATE when people eat food loudly; when peter b. eats around them they both just stare in disgust (this was based off some fan art i saw, when i find it ill credit them)

- the king and queen of side eyeing (it’s kind of canon already lmao)

- they aren’t super big on pda in the workplace. the most contact between them would just be a hand on the shoulder or when something is being passed between them (the exception is patching each other up)

- jessica is the only person miguel trusts to patch him up when he’s injured

- mutual. massaging.

- they are both stubborn and ridiculously petty, arguments (usually about the canon or miles) melt down into standoffs that last for hours

- jessica has miguel take down her protective styles

- saturday morning cleaning is something serious in their space cs they’re both lowkey neat freaks; music blasting, every surface wiped down, candles lit in every clean room

- when jessica first met miguel, she had a problem taking miguel seriously and would giggle during his monologues (it’s not her fault he looked like he was mewing every time he’d pause) miguel let it slide because he found her laugh cute anyway

- miguel was so afraid of putting jess in danger when he first recruited her once he learned she was pregnant; she had to convince him to give her harder missions

- they both know the rumors that circulate around the spider society about miguel being the father of jessica’s child, both choose not to address it

- glasses wearing power couple (sometimes, miguel prefers contacts)

- they temporarily took gwen in until hobie offered

- miguel liked the 2099 burgers up until they changed something in the recipe only he was able to detect. after basically throwing a fit and going back up to his screens without any food, jess bought him empanadas for him instead; only eats those now (i want to draw this lowk)

- love languages:

- miguel loves words of affirmation the most, being told by jessica that he and his work are valued means the world to him

- jessica loves physical touch; pregnancy is hard, even harder being a spider. and miguel is always willing to massage every ache and kiss every change in her body

- pet names were very gradually called amongst them. for a long time it was just “jess” and “migs”

- it never really evolved much besides “baby” and “amor”

- jessica isn’t fluent in spanish, she knows a lot of words just from context when miguel speaks (cursing and compliments towards her); she tries, and her spanish is decent

- 90s anime binging; jess loves sailor moon and miguel loves dragon ball z

- cat and child magnets

- miguel organized a part of the society to be a daycare after gerry was born so jessica could have easier access to her baby (and so peter would stop bringing mayday to nearly every mission)

ughhh i love them both they’re probably gonna argue in the next movie but idc ! 😍

ass so fat all these bitches pussies is throbbin or whatever nicki said

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 — misc JESS DREW headcanons bc she's on my brain 25/8.

- her mask/goggles[?] function as glasses. she's blind af when she takes them off (this makes that one scene at the guggenheim museum funnier to me)

- houston native. she's fightin' her accent back BAD. (her accent comes out when she's REALLY annoyed/pissed. she also calls all sodas "coke”, no matter the flavor)

- loves 90s-2000s r&b (aaliyah, destiny's child, swv, faith evans, etc.) but she also listens to newer stuff (she's a Megan Thee Stallion lover. Opposite Day and Bigger In Texas are her songs)

- femme leaning, but she's a futch/stem lesbian (i will be pushin' this propaganda)

- she loves fruits :3 she's 100% fuckin up a mango with some tajín.

- cat lady. she has a sweet bengal, and she wants another but her allergies can only handle one. womp :(

- a year older than miguel and she's always making fun of him for it.

- not a hello kitty girl, but a betty boop lady. she has a sticker slapped on her bike's license plate and a keychain of her dangling from the handlebar.

- a videogame nerd. she'd ask margo if she ever played the classics, like street fighter, mortal kombat, etc. + she's a normal sims 4 enjoyer (she has 50 terabytes of alpha cc bro her computer cant even run)

- she takes Mario Kart way too seriously. Ben doesn't play with her anymore because he threw a blue shell at her when she was in first place and she was so pressed she actually went off on him. she's still mad about that to this day. (she mains as Dry Bowser btw)

- HAS to wear coats with every outfit or else she'll feel naked.

- she loves jewelry. she has a nose + navel piercing, and she loves bangles and bracelets when she's off duty.

- she has muscles under that biker jacket. trust me. trust my sources.

- Jess has a habit of saying queso cheese and it makes miguel's eye twitch BAD because queso MEANS CHEESE.

- her gloves used to be fingerless once upon a time so she could show off her acrylics, but one of her nails got ripped off during a battle. they was fresh, too.

- she has noiseless footsteps despite them big ass boots. she has a habit of sneaking up on people [miguel] by mistake.

- once said to hobie and margo "that's that white people shit" wit peter b n nem in the background...

- she's not as big on eye contact as miguel is. (i actually noticed this in the movie; she hardly looks anyone in the eyes without their masks on. she's always looking straight forward or to the side, minus the occasional cursory glance)

- she loves kids, and she's excited to be a mama :3

Only day you can reblog this

EPIC ALBUM COVER #135

Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High

Released: 2007 (Island)

Pop punk, pop rock

I kind of don't appreciate racism being brushed off as discourse when its so prevalent far more prevalent than idk being mislabelled as a bigot for example. Idc if you don't like what I like but can you not be racist about it or belittle Black fans when they raise these concerns? Your fandom safe space is sounding more like a klan rally but whatevs
