#block and avoid

@feathertorture90 got me

This is his acc and please BLOCK AND REPORT him

Here's the pics of the messages he sent me:

Just block and report, please. It's a good thing I'm not easily affected by these because I'm desensitized, and tumblr's blur feature comes in clutch.

Getting a bit personal here, as someone who was raised with only half siblings and stepsiblings (and is about to get more stepsiblings bc my mom got engaged and her fiance has adult kids), the notion that only fully biologically related people are family is incredibly invalidating to people who are adopted, have half/ stepfamily, or are in a foster system.

So when an Il*nca shipper made an excuse about “Those who REALLY know the show know they aren’t blood related, so shipping them is okay!”, it pissed me off alot more than I want to admit. Not only was it incredibly invalidating, but it hit home for me. The man I call my dad isn’t my real father, he’s my stepdad who raised me since I was a baby. Forgive me if this sounds harsh, by this persons logic he’s not my dad at all and it would be perfectly okay for us to date because we aren’t related; which I find incredibly disgusting and would never want to see him as anything other than my dad.

Admittedly, I might’ve been less offended if they said what they really meant instead of some halfassed excuse, “I don’t care that they’re referred to as siblings in the show, I’ll still ship them”.

Lance and Ilana, from what is mentioned in the show, are adoptive “fake” siblings. They disguise as siblings to blend in and also to excuse them always being with each other. Octus is like a mix of their brother/ dad in his Mr Lunis form (although the brother part isn’t stated in the show this is based off assumptions). Had Genndy wanted them to be portrayed as anything other than family, they would not be under the same roof with the same last name. He also officially stated that he wanted them to stay friends because putting them together would be “too easy”. He even introduced Jason and Kristin as love interests for them respectively.

Alot of shippers like to use the homecoming scene among others + Lance’s overprotective nature as an excuse that Genndy ships them. The homecoming scene has a direct parallel in the beginning of the episode, between Ilana and her father. I personally interpret the scene as Lance wanting to make her happy, homecoming for her was basically ruined due to the Mutraadi attack, and since the theme was the Harvest Moon festival, something that Ilana has fond memories of her father and home from. Also Lance is overprotective because that’s his literal job 😭 if Ilana dies, Modula wins and Lance and Octus have to do anything they can to keep her safe.

Characters in the show also constantly misinterpret their relationship (Barb asking if Lance is Ilana’s BF (Ilana immediately responding with “brother”) + Siefred calling Ilana “Lance’s girl” to which both of them deflect to Ilana saying brother while Lance says friend.) But at the same time, other characters DO acknowledge them being siblings (teacher referring to their quarrel as sibling drama and Kimmy asking Ilana about her brother). I think this is trope subversion tbh and shouldn’t be a clear indicator of Genndy shipping them)

Am I telling people to not ship them? No, although I’d prefer it if you block me if you ship them because the implications of it are kinda gross and tbh it’s bland asf 😭

TL;DR: Family doesn’t have to be blood to be family, invalidating it to make an excuse for inc*st/ psuedoinc*st is gross and insensitive asf.

*EDIT: There were near 30 comments on that most recent post calling them out for their nonsense and they're cleaning house now lmao

These were my mentions

But now the comment section looks like this.

Come on. It's so blatantly obvious.

Listen, Idk what the current drama is with all these weird tradwife accounts hating on everyone and everything, Luke, Nicola, fans, blah blah blah, but those are ALSO obvious rage bait, just like this blog is. Pretending to be a Luke Newton fan with literally NOTHING in support of him? Just hating on Nicola for bullshit reasons? When us Luke fans have NOTHING against her? And cheer her on more often than not? But that blog wants to make you THINK they're a Luke fan so people will then target Luke fans. Same thing here. This blog wants to pretend like they're a Lukola blog, when really, what they want is for people to target Lukola blogs. And unfortunately, much of what they've said has garnered an audience of supporting Lukola fans, actual ones, and the fact that too many people have liked and commented in support of loud, blatant, rotten misogyny is proof that there's ALSO something nasty festering in your fan spaces. Which can and should be addressed. But in this moment, what I am pointing out is that this person is laughing about it all. About YOU.

Why am I giving a psa to a fanbase I have previously seen being horrible? To myself, to others, and to each other? Because not all of you are, and because those of you who ship your ship in peace without sexism and cruelty shouldn't be the butt of yet another joke. And, who knows. Maybe this will open up a conversation. Maybe I hope it can be a moment for some people to self reflect, that if they agree with a troll, what does that say about their views. And beyond that. . .I'm tired of fanwars when legitimate fans rarely start them. Any way you slice it, I think this is a great opportunity to remind us all of the golden rule of the internet:

smokepuffycloud has stated that they are sending gore to everyone with their asks on that they see.

everyone please block ////lobsterkittiest.

troll and extremely rude.
