Can you tell what’s my favorite Soldier 76 Skin?
Thankyou. This post is the reality check every fandom needs right now.
We’ve all seen the rather… Explosive and often hateful dialogue regarding content on Ao3. Obviously from my previous post it should be clear I am fully against the labeling and censorship demanded by some people on Tumblr. Since my mad has nicely resolved I figured I would explain just why I feel the whole discord is ludicrous. Beyond the fact that censorship is most always abused, narrow-minded and wrong-headed, I think the idea that Ao3 shouldn’t host fiction involving rape, underage content etc because it is upsetting or triggering to some people misses a very important point. The point that it misses is that it is one each of us to protect ourselves. This idea that anyone is entitled to have their metaphorical hand held when interacting with fandom deeply disturbs me.
As someone with very real, and very debilitating mental illness, I loathe the idea that anyone but the person with the issue or illness or experience be responsible for safeguarding their comfort and health. There have been people in my life that have excluded me for my sake, instead of allowing me to decide if I was capable of attending or managing the situation. While the intent in each case was good, the result is infantilizing. Over the course of my recovery from a very dark and helpless place, the power of my choices became very important to me, and I fully believe it is our choices, especially when we are struggling with mental health, that place the most significant wrong in our recovery.
We all make bad choices, we all make choices that harm ourselves and others. But in Ao3, and fandom at large there are many tools with which to protect ourselves. There are absolutely genres of fiction, both professionally published and fan created that I will not read because they disturb me. This does not mean that those that enjoy these works, or create these works are wrong. All this means is that I need to not read this for my own comfort and health, and really that’s an easy thing to do. Tags are so common now that in most cases we can avoid those things that hurt us. We can create search settings on Ao3 that block the content we don’t want to see, and generally we can all enjoy our fandoms, safe.
Sometimes an author will not use the correct tags, likely just out of forgetfulness, inexperience, not malice. In these cases, which have been my experience outside the norm, the best thing to do is to send a polite message to the author, mentioning a concern regarding tags, and then move on. This does not discount the discomfort that comes from having your illness or memories triggered, but life is not sanitized, we are going to get triggered. It’s how we respond to being harmed that matters. We don’t recover for our wounds by banning fiction, by hurling abuse at someone, or any of that garbage. We recover with time, and we recover with will, and that is on us.
We're missing something important.So far we've seen with gem fusions that even if they're unstable and have extra limbs the number of limbs still measures evenly out to each gem involved.Ex:Garnet has three eyes because Ruby has two eyes and Sapphire has 1 eye, Rainbow Quartz had 4 eyes -a set for each gem involved,Heck! even Sugilite only had 5 eyes and 4 arms. BUT what about malachite? She's "all torso" as someone said in another post,as in she has no legs but instead she has 6 arms! three sets of arms for three gems correct?This must mean either Jasper, or Lapis is a fusion for their to be an extra set of arms involved with malachite.However, from 'The Mirror Gem' we know Lapis is only one gem so could it be that Jasper was a fusion from the start?Either that or it's just crewniverse being random with character design and the extra set of arms means nothing.Just my thoughts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What do you think of this theory?
lol, can't unsee😂
I love how Soundwave makes no noise or movement to imply he said something, yet Starscream's like"yes Soundwave, you are quite right!" in response to,what we're assuming are, these fantastic plans and suggestions Soundwave is coming up with.
