I don't fully agree with sexualising Caelum either but some of the people commenting on your post about it are downright rude
People can interpret Caelum however they want you can't just tell people not to and think they will
Feel quite bad for the author to have their fic bashed all because people don't agree with them, if you don't like it just don't read it
I hope the author writes more fics about caelum just to piss off the fandom tbh
alright so, let's dissect this.
i cannot control how people choose to react to my post, and (i believe, i might be wrong) nowhere in my post do i cite a fic or tag anyone specifically. it's not my fault if people choose to comment their opinions in a way that is unfit for you.
people CAN interpret caelum and any character however they want, sure! that's the beauty of an audio-based story. there's so much to be interpreted! but you also cannot dismiss the facts that caelum is repeatedly compared to a child by gavin. that, my friend, is NOT up for interpretation.
i wish no ill will to the author. the fic (what i read of it) is really well written and they have a lot of potential to write other great stuff. but i will not in any way condone sexualizing caelum because he (as mac said) is comparable to a child's imaginary friend and (as erik confirms in his audios) is supposed to be innocent and childlike.
it's a hot take, i guess? but always keep in mind, those takes can come with backlash! not everyone is going to be okay with it and if you are going to write something controversial, you'll have to be prepared for people to disagree.
with that being said, don't bully people or be outright mean to them! just respectfully give your opinion and go
and didn't erik literally say in a stream that he wouldn't EVER sexualize caelum bc that's not the type of character he is? π i didn't realize caelum written as a child was such a controversial take, power to you!
it's not a controversial take bc there's no room for debate- it shouldn't happen!
im just glad i said something bc you can see that people really agree and just wont voice it themselves
I just read your recent post about Imp! Sweetheart and I could not agree more. This isn't an offense to Erik but I also felt really disappointed when Sweetheart was hardly ever shown in the Imperium even though they were probably one of the more important listener characters compared to others. I thought I was one of very few people who thought this way and no one else has spoke about it (as far as I've seen) so I'm glad you made an analysis on that. Also I only noticed now that you mentioned it but Asher and David's relationship really was put in the spotlight a lot even though David is, you know, dead. I remember listening to Cataclysm | Last Wish and when Asher left the room I got all excited because I thought we would at least get a one-on-one scene with Milo but I remember had to pause the video and have a moment of silence because we didn't get it ππ
All in all, I rambled long enough and your analysis was really thorough and nice to read because I agree with you. Take care now! π«π
im so glad you enjoyed it! it took a while to write but i wanted it to be thorough and not just based on my memory
it really is so disappointing because erik gives sweetheart's character so much weight with absolutely zero follow through. the scene with ash and milo in the bedroom was the perfect opportunity to give us a look at how fiercely protective sweetheart is, or just show us a shred of their personality or dynamic with milo. don't get me wrong, the david and asher romance was an interesting plot point that could have been used really creatively, but it was all-consuming and overused
thank you so much for your ask anon!!
i forget who but someone had a theory about the dreamwalker that trapped avior was Elliot instead of Blake (reason being, Sunshine is being held hostage by Blake & CloseKnit, so Elliot joins Close Knit as an attempt to try to get back to Sunshine) and I feel like that meshes well with your idea of Avior and Starlight being in the future .,.
hmmm now this is interesting!
my only thing i'd say is that it seemed like- if i'm remembering it correctly- the dreamwalker that came at elliott seemed to have an obvious distaste for d(a)emons and that's why he attacked avior.... we haven't seen any signs of that from elliott, but if he is trying to fit the part as a closeknit member... that might make sense
i'm not sure!! there's definitely a lot to unpack there!

No we NEED to talk more about this group, like Darlin help Lovely by being their test subject for self-defense much to Sam's chagrin and Vincent's amusement.
Darlin' calls Vincent 'Cousin Vinny' 'cause of his car collection
I'll think of other hcs to add
π
THANK YOU I LOVE THESE I'M GOING TO ADD MORE
lovely feeling safe enough to open up to sam about what happened with adam and sam letting them know he understands completely and they share a sense of solidarity with each other
fred and bright wrestling with vincent and darlin way too often, vincent and darlin letting the kids win most of the time
lovely showing fred how to use his limited powers to create little light spark shows and how to create a taser with their fingers
bright relating to and growing close with darlin and telling them more than they tell sam, much to sam's dismay
bonus points if darlin gives sam parenting advice
sam and vincent going on late night drives after clan meetings to get away from the stress of life, trusting lovely and darlin enough to leave them with the kids
family dinners <3 everyone has to make a dish to go on the table (darlin asks david for advice on what to make)
there are so many more to talk about please tack on with your ideas <3
Humble yourself, last I checked Erik sells successful merch and you don't π€·ββοΈ

teaandcardigans is an independent artist creating amazing designs for great products such as t-shirts, stickers, posters, and phone cases.
there's a little bit in there that i think would appeal to everyone! want goofy text bubbles? got it! hot boi summer, inversion, and echotober-themed designs? in there! goofy stickers? yup! non-redacted designs? ready to buy!
definitely take a peek when you get a chance, anon! i think i'll change your mind :D
how do you turn off anon asks? i think im officially tired of people hiding behind anonymity and thinking they can say whatever they want
