Sparklecare Polls

This is a sideblog for silly sparklecare polls. As this is a sideblog, I will block as things are made known to me, since I am going to miss things because I'm not willing to unblock people from my main. I'm an adult. Use shi/hir and star/stars for me.

Now tagging character-specific polls (Poll entirely about one character) with character names.

Taking poll suggestions for:

- Preboot + Any known Getty media with archives available (Cometcare, Nightstars, Darker Matters, secret canon concepts, etc)

- Headcanons

- Best or worst character

As this is a space to be silly:

- Don't be an asshole or bigot.

- Don't support Getty's actions. I will block you if you follow me and support Getty. I personally don't care if you like incest ships or not, I care about you supporting someone who fetish mined an entire fanbase, is an abuser, and has enabled other abusers.

- Don't bully or harass people.

I'm taking a hatius to let this blow over. Some of you need to learn how to differentiate between "shittalking" and actual criticism of someone in a public space that is not demeaning. Not everything actually needs to be public or on a ventblog, and this is pretty obviously a targeted harassment campaign to push me out of sparklecare spaces instead of just blocking me and learning how to share a space or remove themselves if you hate someone in a space so much that you resort to trying to harass them out of it and the space they are in in order to force them out for the safety of that space. You aren't protecting a community if you are trying to endanger a server's privacy just to force out one person who has not broken any rules in that server or done anything actually wrong. Not liking someone is not a justification for harassment.

like the way they interact with cream specifically just feel a lot more like a friendship than anything, as someone who is also that genre of afamilial. i imagine it kind of links into the dulled emotions TUC can give people, sort of like how a lot of aspec people feel that their aspec relates to their neurodivergence and other similar stuff! imo ally does also fit the afamilial label very well too tho

HAVE A ICE CREAM SANDWICH

I talk like this because of my disorders, big ones being ASPD and a blunted effect. Another factor is that I'm just old and have been forced to see things as multifaceted. Outside sparklecare I actually have my own blog offsite and write a lot (Which I do not trust anyone in sparklecare with publicly).

also does anyone who voted frosty for afamiliarity have an explanation? I don’t remember too much of her interactions in the series so I’m interested to hear where this hc comes from since I think I see a couple votes there! /gen

Posting to the main tag and character tag so anyone who voted Frosty can expand on it in the inbox or on here for anon to see it.

Edit:

An anon answered!

See under the cut for links on what these mean:

For me, I kind of can't really leave in a sense. I'm alterhuman and a system. Sparklecare and related media impacts the identities of multiple people here. My relationship to it and the fandom is complicated partially for that reason. Source separation isn't entirely doable for a lot of us, either. We shouldn't have to source separate just because of the problems with Getty, and it should be our choice to do so or not without pressure. Hell, the document coming out actually hurt us more than it would most people who aren't systems because of how it aggrivated our already present trauma in ways related to us sparklecare-related people specifically. I still have some fondness for Sparklecare and actually do like some character concepts when taken out of the incest context. Getty and other horrible people don't define how I feel about sparklecare and my relationship to it- letting them was quite unhealthy.

Here's some headcanons I have:

ASPD Doom (coding) is real to me. I think he'd probably have less of a focus on history of criminal behavior and moreso symptoms focusing on chronic boredom, impulsivity, rule-breaking/adverse relationship with authority, and lack of empathy. Mood is his EP (Exception Person), and even after the hospital they stay close as pen pals despite moving to separate areas.

Uni has a stomping stim and a fur shake stim. Stomping tends to come from negative emotional overwhelm, and body shake stims tend to overlap with tail wags from excitement or positive emotions.

The amount of times I have experienced this kind of thing in fandom spaces makes me lose my mind, because minors can still do harmful things to others. It comes free with your ability to exist, not your age. Once someone says it isn't funny, just apologize and realize you fucked up. It's so easy to do even if you dislike someone. But, there isn't just one doing this either since it used to be super common with critblogs too. You'd see a minor say some horrifically ableist shit about people deserving to be involuntarily held in a psych ward for being something or someone they dislike and if anyone said that wasn't okay to say, people would act like you're the asshole for addressing it because they are a minor.

I don't mind other blogs existing. There could be 50 other sparklecare poll blogs and I'd still run this one because I like seeing data. It makes my brain happy and I get to show people neat headcanon ideas that just spawn in my head, like one coming up about Hemera going to college for botany and/or horticulture.

I would rather not go into it publicly, in order to avoid harassment for anyone involved since said person is currently a minor and this really is not worth any callout post. I'm not a newcomer, and know the fandom is just like this unfortunately. It just boils down to someone treating me rudely, me setting the boundary that I do not like being treated that way regardless of the intention, and then said user was doubling down on being dismissive and rude to me until getting blocked from here as the user tried to make it more public than it needed to be instead of just apologizing for being rude and dismissive to move on.

No. I've had it in the drafts for days since I wish people would consider options beyond "Levi is shitty due to porn and crypto." (It gets dangerously into being sex-negative and anti kink for me to be too comfortable with people who focus on Levi engaging with porn at all as inherently disgusting and not what specific porn can be ethical problems.) I don't constantly look at public tags to see if a new random blog exists that popped up less than an hour of having an incident with someone. I find it to be a funny coincidence with timing, but I really don't give a shit if anyone makes a blog like this or not. I don't own the concept of a gimmick blog for headcanons and sparklecare stuff. I just picked out a random poll from the drafts that could help move on.
