this is my sideblog for things i will not be posting on my usual blog bc i am a freak. i follow from @niamhabril.
icon art by @star-trek-dumb-comics and can be found here. banner by @melburnsart and can be found here.
i am currently hyperfixating on star trek, the pitt, interview with the vampire, avatar the last airbender, dc comics, marvel comics, indie comics and buffyverse. also i'm always a slut for hannibal, old sitcoms & all for the game.
i like kevin day from aftg, and i like angel and faith from btvs. if that is going to annoy you then i suggest you don't follow me.
you can find all my original thought posts here.
my masterposts: aftg (outdated, pls see my original thoughts tag for everything)
you can read my fanfic here.
my spotify account with fanmixes is here.
my current active fanfics:
Kicking It In - Kevin's POV during TSC and TGR. Currently sort of canon compliant but will deviate towards the end of TGR (it's KevJean). This requires reading my completed fic Waiting You Out first.
Clocked You - a fic that follows Kevin and Andrew after Riko smashes his hand as Kevin settles into the Foxes. It follows canon until Neil as Neil never becomes romantic with Andrew.
Be a Trojan - a fic in which Kevin and Jean leave the Nest before they sign on Freshman year and escape to play with the Trojans.
The Acquisition of Kevin Day - a fic that follows Kevin from just before Kayleigh's death up until sometime post Jean's arrival in Evermore.

I don't particularly like certain characters and ships but if I actually post about it they will be tagged appropriately and probably include a read more.

“everyone is mad at me and they just won’t tell me” —> “no one has said anything about being mad at me and i haven’t done anything to warrant being mad at so if someone is silently fuming about me and not saying anything that’s their problem and actually quite weird of them and i can effortlessly move on with my life”
this took SUCH a huge deal of unlearning because, like so many of you, i came out of a home where being quietly in trouble WAS the default state, and i DID grow up not just with the assumption but borderline religious conviction that Everyone Is Mad At Me, I Am Bad, I Must Exist In A Constant State of Attempting to Pacify The Natural Rage I Inspire In Everyone. and no it actually turns out that my family are the freaks . and yours are too
“this isn’t true because i DEFINITELY silently fume at people in the hopes they’ll figure out what they did and apologize” that’s not good. you shouldn’t do that
“this isn’t true because the ex-friendship that traumatized me ended explosively after they were mad at me and never told me why” that’s not good. they shouldn’t be doing that
“i don’t think this is true because my current friend group is constantly icing me out until i figure out what ive done to upset them and properly apologized without being told” hey thats not good. they should not be doing that
if the peacefulness of your relationship with someone (familial, romantic, friendly, anything) can be destroyed by effective communication/asking them for effective communication, you have got to get out of there. if you can’t get out of there, you’ve got to throw away any ideas about what that person thinks of you because they have their own shit to figure out before they can accurately read anyone else

maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english
El problema es, como bien has dicho, la accesibilidad y la visibilidad.
Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.
Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.
A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.
La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.
Casi todo esto se puede achacar al imperialismo cultural estadounidense. El inglés es útil para comunicarse con gente de todo el mundo, pero su omnipresencia sirve de barrera para todos los demás idiomas. Quizás habría que reflexionar un poco sobre por qué coño el resto del mundo tiene que tragarse años de clases de inglés para hablar del juego que le gusta en una red social mientras muchos angloparlantes no se dignan ni a meter un texto en un traductor automático y prefieren pasar de largo.
Ji Han…exactly like it’d be fun but it’s also a lot more complicated of a thing, posts will lose reach, there’s no auto translate feature like other apps and well most non native speakers aren’t gonna take the time to read it.
Exacto! E também se não tens um VPN e não vives no país da tua língua é muito difícil de ver mídia da tua cultura. Este ano tentei com vários canais da minha terra, nada. Não posso mostrar nem nada a minha criança. E às vezes é impossível encontrar essa mídia noutros lados. Pessoas que podem ver o programa de televisão gratis na internet com estabilidade não acham importante partilhá-lo ou vê-lo noutro sítio (como youtube). E para as pessoas que não moram lá… por que elas se importam com isso? Eu pensei que, porque uma das séries de televisão foi criada com a Amazon Prime, ia ser mais fácil de ver. Mas não. Eles não distribuem para o meu país.
Desculpe se houver erros, faz muito tempo que saí e não tenho tido muitas oportunidades de escrever!
anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

One of the many, many, things I love about Leverage is how often they can just make shit up because the mark is some CEO/business bro who never bothered to actually learn the field they’re fucking up. It doesn’t matter if they just string together vocab words and Wikipedia subheadings, the only person who knows less about this than them is standing right in front of them and if they were capable of listening to experts, the team wouldn’t be there!
