EARTHSPARK PROWL???

EARTHSPARK PRWOWLWOLAWLW????

To any of the OGs who followed me during my time where I was insanely losing my mind about the Empurata Prowl AU that got me REALLY into prowl, Hi

To everyone else who learned afterwards that I liked prowl, Hi

To whoever is seeing this now because I still do, Hi

You have a blue police box that's bigger on the inside? Awesome, I'm totally down.

You live on an abandoned mining ship with an evolved cat, a robot and a neurotic dead guy? Count me in.

Heesu, Episode 8

I can't ... I just ... cannot. Take much more of this.

I was just watching a video of this big name doll youtuber reporting on doll news, as they do, and they were covering the new Beetlejuice Skullector Two Pack, but what got me is they how said some pretty Anti leaning shit that was just unnecessary?

Like they literally said: "Obviously NO ONE ships Beetlejuice and Lydia so NO ONE would promote this as a romantic thing.. But if it's a wedding set that's set to release Valentines day then la de dah blah blah!"

And like? I honestly didn't know if this person was just saying this to just like, cover their own ass so THEY didn't get harassed by other tenderqueers because they were young, or if *they* genuinely believed what they were saying? Because from what I've watched from their channel, they're young and don't seem to know or care a lot about horror as genre in general? Like I don't mean to gate keep, but they're one one those obnoxious Monster High fans I made of fun of in my one post where it's like, "knows nothing about horror, just learned who Elvira is, only got into mh as a kid as the 'alternative' to their conservative ass parents who already believe pokemon is The Devil letting them experience Actual Horror and just never stopped consuming the dolls and Skullectors regardless if they're even familiar with the source material" kinda people? And yeah, that gets really annoying?

But I obviously didn't want this to be my cutting off point for watching their channel because ... Doll news?

So, I just wrote up the most, civil. neutral comment I could possibly articulate explaining how the Beetlejuice fandom's been practically built off of nothing but shipping for 36 years and how people can think whatever they want but Winona Ryder does ship it and it was quite frankly unprofessional of them to alienate Beetlebabes who might want to grab the two pack by implying there's a right way and a wrong way of interpreting the movie and the relationship between these iconic characters and they should respect the older fanbase and all the history that came before the musical?

And I was about to post it, but then I got nervous when I remembered, that I once purchased a doll from this person, which meant that they had my address at one point, which meant if they didn't like what I was saying, they could like, maybe dig it up and dox me? Or at least threaten to and I'd have cause to panic over it being like, legit or not? And I tried to brush it from my mind like nuh nuh they're cool they're cool... They're not on *that* level of Anti...

So then I just tried to check and refresh the comments to see any more overt ship bashing was taking place and of course, I just immediately find this:

So then I do this little blackout thingy for the usernames so that none of this can get back to youtube, and I go to screencap my comment so I can at least post it here in a vent, but I lost my comment trying to get the screen cap thingy to work and accidently clicking the youtube refresh button... 😔

... I just...I hate having such a lil' ghost face moment right now, but just like... I hate you legit fake horror fan Monster High collectors who can't appreciate horror having romantic subtext when that's the entire point yet you keep hoarding all the dolls anyway, I hate you little faggity boys with broccoli haircuts and split dyes who pressure girls into sending you nudes and the retired Mommy Vloggers who enable you, I find you extremely annoying XCanadensis, I hate you for your extremely annoying editing and intros zombiexcorn, I like you Lookin' Bratz but I hate your bratzline podcast cohost for fully admitting to doing a binge watch of all the Harry Potter movies in the franchise for "the first time ever" in fuckin' 2024 with absolutely no disclaimers or acknowledgment of the elephant in the room there and thinking that was a good idea to disclose something as quite frankly as disgusting as that and ruining what could've been a nice gothic doll chat for me and putting sour taste in my mouth about listening to the rest of your podcast...

And I especially hate that one dude with the ugly live action beauty and the beast dolls with the pink hair and the bowl cut and the glasses who for some reason keeps insisting every time she's brought up that Ghoulia Yelps can't be disabled/autistic because she's supposed to have some type of racial coding...

They're HEADCANONS!

They're PIECES OF PLASTIC!

[J2 make references to a previous question about travelling]

Jared: You know what I really liked shooting, and we joked about it for years, and the writers listened. The pre-sadness part of the finale, where the boys are just hanging around the bunker, doing whatever they're doing when they're not risking their lives and saving others was fun. Just to do nothing. It felt very true, you know -

Jensen: What do you call that, is that a sweet spot? Yeah, that time between Jack walking away and those damn vampires. 'Cause actually it wasn't even the vampires, it was the stupid rebar. Who leaves rebar exposed like that?

Jared: Vampires do! Vampires do.

Jensen: Ridiculous.

Yelling Fan: They did that on purpose!

Jensen: Yes, clearly they did that on p-

Jared: Yes, it was written. It was a script. [both laughing, Jared grabs Jensen's arm, exaggerating] They thought about that beforehand!

Jensen: [fakes upset] Wait, what!?

Jared: [pretends to hold Jensen back] Take it easy, take it easy.

Yelling fan: The vampires did it on purpose!

Jared: Possibly.

Jensen: Yeah, it couldn't have just been a coat hanger, no, it had to be a spike.

Yelling fan: [brings up the Supernatural subscription box with the rebar in it]

J2: There's a rebar in there?

Jensen: Well that's not cool.

Jared: I'm gonna have a talk with them. What'd they call it?

[Interruption by the building's alarm system being triggered, where they almost evacuate before it's declared a false alarm]

Jared: As we were evacuating, I was gonna be like, ya'll all be careful, we'll be here, we've died a bunch of times and come back.

Jensen: Yeah, we've survived fires, but not rebar.

Fan: [apologizes for their question doing that and something about the piece of rebar, can't make it out]

Jensen: Well, I appreciate that, that's clearly left a mark on me.

Jared: Too soon!
