because it isn’t just doing a 180 on his character. it’s perpetrating a trope that the original show went out of its way to sidestep. i can’t speak from experience, but i have several friends with an absent parent, and most of them want NOTHING to do with them. a fuckin shame.
so uhhhhhh. please read this if you’re in the toa fandom lol. i probably worded it better in any of the numerous posts i’ve made to tumblr that’ve been ignored but i wanted to try making it shorter so people would actually read it (there’s no offence meant with any of this btw)
do you guys have that one favorite character that you ABSOLUTELY cannot call ugly. they're just the most gorgeous jaw dropping character ever. call them ugly i would not trust you
the irony of merlin being the one to say “history rarely tells the full story” while being rather suspect on that front himself is quite amusing if i do say so myself
@koobrroob
OO OO OO GET ME IN HERE— claiming after the fact that their WIZARD CHARACTER is Romani when the most common stereotype about them is that they’re all magicians and street performer! having their main villains be indigenous stereotypes! the list goes on!
so we all agree that the time to smile arg is about jschlatt feeling confined to making overly energetic reaction content and not the things he actually wants to right
friendly reminder that only INDIGENOUS PEOPLE can explain their specific culture accurately to you. don’t listen to people claiming to be “interested” in them.
(going for round two a.k.a merlin slander: electric boogaloo—) the aforementioned geezer did NOT deserve Douxie’s forgiveness after how straight up shitty of a person he was to him, he’s really just a badly written character in general AND he cannot pull off being bald
hi so mutuals i can’t tell you what to do but that dude who just blocked me because i called him out on treating indigenous cultures as interests maybe isn’t the best guy to associate with
@hisirdoux
too bad the movie got canceled but it’s nice that they let us know that in the canon ending everything was ok and no one died and everyone lived happily ever after right
dude why is there like. zero variation in the toa ao3 tag??? like jesus man i don’t care about mid lake junior STOP BOMBARDING ME WITH FICS THAT HAVE HIM AS THE PROTAG IT’S SO TIRED
i feel weird about being the guy who is talking on behalf of inuit people in this fandom cause like. i’m métis. not inuit. but there aren’t any inuit people in the fandom (to my knowledg) so like?????? don’t expect specifics from me cause that is out of my jurisdiction lmao
hello? yeah, i’m on toatw— what do you mean it’s dead? no no no, we just had the Wizards anniversary last month! no, i’m not going to post more art, did you see what happened the last time?! i’ve tried advertising the ao3, but my main ship is the rarest of the pairs! no don’t ha-
doing a rushed wizards rewatch to confirm they/them sakraiil but genuinely i cannot understand why they so goddamn cute like if you want me to hate them why squimchy face. why big sparkly eyes. why small dumb idiot baby.
If you know me you knew I would pick him lmfao. Douxie is just so loveable imo I want to squeeze him. He is a great protagonist in Wizards, and they made me care so much for this guy I used to despise. He’s got a good balance of emotional stuff too.
the biggest, loudest, and angriest FUCK YOU to the people who made the arcane order bastardized indigenous stereotypes is to reclaim them. so fucking do it.
i’ll say it right now. fanfic authors can be way better at character work and story themes than published authors BECAUSE they’re working with previously established elements
i’m not even fucking kidding if you aren’t at least retweeting posts about the genocide that is happening in gaza i will hard block you no matter who you are

@lgbtarrons
don’t even get me started on the fact that they actually never used gendered pronouns for skrael either (as far as I know, at least, although I did look through all the episodes and rott) and yet i see so many people using solely he/him and like. dude.
me when it’s obvious that gaylen was created by the arcane order and is therefore the actual equivalent of a demigod (a large chunk of the fandom is very confused about this)
i love it when old people don’t act like old people like yes here is my 13.7 billion year old baby they are so silly this is their boyfriend he was born in 1117 C.E he’s a goober

@lesbiantsuyu
can I add to this by saying that they would definitely have little “hangouts” that are very clearly dates but no one has the heart to tell them how obviously in love with each other they are
fuck it i’m elaborating. out of the six or so people in the world who ship it, i’m one of two who don’t ALSO ship incest (the other being my partner) AND i‘m swaggy and indigenous so i’m not being an almost-racist as soon as i pick up a pen to write them. TAKE THAT BIG BIDEN
i can’t say this loud enough— COMMISSION ARTISTS!!!!! if you’ve got something to spare, it’s soooo worth it to both support what is essentially a small business AND be able to get your little scrunglos out there :DDDD
