I donât know if you heard, but crazy things have been going on with the Transformers fandom recently, I heard that an author who wrote an amazing fic of tfa megop deleted their ao3 because of harassment and criticism from fans.
And I heard it happen again with some other popular fics too. And not just with Transformers, but with other fandoms too.
It always made me nervous of talking about Transformers with other people, especially on the Internet. Because it feels like one side is polite, but the other one just has criticisms or is just mean.
Please be careful out there.
I actually did not hear about that at all and so far Iâve never received any negative comments on any of my stuff.
Besides the people leaving these nasty comments in my opinion sound like teenagers. I am too old to give a damn about a 14 year oldâs opinion on my writing.
And not to mention: the block button exists both on tumblr and ao3 and if someone canât behave I have no remorse to use it.
But yeah anon donât let yourself be intimidated and scared of sharing your joy for this franchise by the potential of some looser being mean to you and instead live your fullest truth on this hellsite and share your unfiltered creativity. The right people will find it.
Odd realisation I just had while talking to my boyfriend.
Turns out one of my favourite tropes is âstuck in a fucking timeloop where person A has to watch B die over and over againâ and I never realised it until now.
Here are some more fairytale movies that I think deserve more love. If you want to see the first part please click [here]
1) Szaffi (The Treasure of Swamp Castle) [dub] [sub]
I know Szaffi is not TECHNICALLY a fairytale but a novel with fairytale elements, similar to the novel âmemoirs of a Good-for-Nothingâ J.v. Eichendorf. This Hungarian movie, I will warn you right away, has aged quite a bit in its depiction of the romani people (by calling them the g-slur for starters) so please keep that in mind if you decide to check it out for yourselves.
Szaffi follows the romance of Jonas, a nobleman who had been raised by a group of Romani people after loosing his family and estate in a war as a child, and Szaffi a mysterious Romani girl as they attempt to find the treasure of the deceased Pasha in the ruins of Swamp Castle and must master many trials along the way.
This movie is one of the handful of films that have ever been dubbed into my native tongue and given that I owned it on VHS as a kid, I have a ton of nostalgia for it despite its many flaws.
2) Till Eulenspiegel (Jester Till)[here]
I will say I was quite surprised to find out that apparently not a lot of people like this movie outside of France. Tho i do kinda blame the pretty awful English dub for that ngl. The movie is based on the german folkloric character âTill Eulenspiegelâ (Literally Till Owl-mirror), a mysterious jester who pulls pranks on people to expose the absurd nature of societyâs vices.
In this movie Till just arrives in the city of Boomstadt to visit his grandfather only to find the man missing. So Till goes on an adventure to find his grandfather and also save the kingdom from a usurpation plot along the way. Unfortunately I was only able to find the movie online in French :(. So of anyone has the original german dub or the so-so english dub, let me know.
3) The Nutcracker Prince [here]
Based on E.T.H. Hoffmannâs story âthe nutcracker and the mouse kingâ and Tschaikovskyâs famous Ballet the nutcracker. During a Christmas Party a young girl, Clara, is gifted a Nutcracker from the family friend Drosselmeier, who tells her the nutcracker is actually a cursed young man.
That night Clara awakes to find the nutcracker leading her toys into a battle to defeat the Mouse Kingâs army.
4) Kvitebjørn kong Valemon (The Polar Bear King) [dub]
Based on the fairytales âWhite bear king Valemonâ and âeast of the sun and west of the moonâ (one of my favourite fairytales of all time) the story follows King Valemon who is just about to ascend the throne, only to be turned into a polar bear by a bitter witch who wants to be his queen. Valemon must find a bride in the seven year span that he'll be a polar bear, and so he travels to Winterland and finds a wife to take home. Although they are happy, she is not allowed to look upon his face when he turns back into a man at night. When she breaks this rule, Valemon will be trapped to the witch forever.
5) Der var engang (The Fairytaler) [dub]
I am stretching the rules a bit here as this is not a movie but a TV series. Itâs an anthology series based on the fairytales of Danish Author Hans Christian Andersen, with every episode adapting one of his stories
6) Simsala Grimm [dub]
Again same deal as with the fairytaler, this is actually a german TV series. The cartoon follows two plushies (Yoyo and Doc) as they get awaken to life and whisked away to the magical world of Simsala by the ghosts of the Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. In Simsala their task is it to help the heroes of different fairytales to reach their happily ever after. Like for example telling prince charming to make the maid try on the glass slipper or tell the dwarfs to pur Snow White into a glass coffin.
I watched this show religiously as a child and it played a huge part in who I am today.
7) Sechse kommen durch die ganze Welt (How six made their way in the world) [here]
Princess Ella and the court musician Jasper are deeply in love. Unfortunately Ellaâs father, King Wilbur, is against their union and has Jasper thrown into jail and tells Ella he left the country. In jail meanwhile Jasper meets Flora (a girl with the powers to control plants) and Lukas (the strongest man alive). Together they break out of jail and eventually meet and join forces with Markus (the fastest runner), Lisa (a witch) and Benjamin (the greatest sharpshooter on earth). Together they return to the court of king Wilbur and strike a deal: if they can best 6 trials of his choosing he will let Ella and Jasper get married.
8) Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama [dub]
After being forced into exile by his father king Dasharatha for 14 years, prince Rama retreats to a life in the forest alongside his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. All is well until one day the demon king Ravana of Lanka kidnaps Sita. Rama and Lakshmana, with the help of Hanuman and Sugriva and their army of Vanaras thus begin the journey to rescue Sita and defeat Ravana.
All I will personally say about this movie is: Christopher Nolan this is how you adapt an Epic legend from a culture you do not belong to! START TAKING NOTES. But yeah all jokes about my one-sided beef with Nolan aside, this movie is genuinely amazing and you can tell everyone who who worked on it tried their best to stay faithful to the Ramayana as far as a 2 hour runtime and the animation budget could allow it. It genuinely made me fall in love with the Ramayana and gage me the motivation to try and read the actual text myself.
This movie is aggressively 80s but in a charming way. But to be fair I am a transformers fan and adore the og 80s cartoon despite all its flaws so maybe Iâm bias. But anyways the movie actually takes place AFTER the original fairytale. Snow White and the prince are preparing for their wedding and go to visit the 7 dwarves to invite them but on their way there they are attacked by Maliss, the evil queenâs brother, separating Snow White and the prince.
When Snow White wakes up she finds herself in a familiar little cottage but her friends the dwarves are no where to be seen. Instead she comes face to face with their cousins the seven dwarfelles. So now with the seven dwarfelles Snow White goes on a journey to find the prince and defeat Maliss.
10) Die furchtlosen Vier (The Fearless Four) [dub]
Based VERY (and i cannot emphasise the very enough) loosely on the Grimm brothersâ fairytale âThe town musicians of Bremenâ. This german movie follows a gang of 4 animals (a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster) who all wish to become musicians. Their journey takes them to the town of Bremen where the evil CEO of MixMax, Dr. Greed, has banned all music and from there on the movie turns into a surreal fever dream about capitalism and corporate greed sucking the life out of art. The movie is very odd I fully admit to that but itâs also oddly charming and I remember rewatching it quite often as a kid.
Megatron: Soundwave, I donât know what the prime wants anymore. What am I supposed to do?
Soundwave: May I speak freely, my lord?
Megatron: Yes, of course my old friend.
Soundwave: Annoyance: I am so slagging sick of hearing this year after year. âSoundwave, what am I supposed to do? I told him I loved him. I took it back. Iâm afraid of commitment. Iâm worried about the others.â
For Primusâ sake! Make a move!! Do something!! Do you wanna regret this for the rest of your life, too?!
*Soundwave leaves the room*
Tarn: Whatâs going on in there?
Soundwave: Mad: I have had it. I am trying to convince him to give up on the Prime and move on with life.
*Tarn dashes into the room*
Tarn: I agree with Soundwave! What are you waiting for!? Just do it! Do it!! Do it!!!
Soundwave: all according to plan~ đ

Itâs kinda funny how I have lived and been in fandom spaces long enough to watch a fundamental shift happen within Otaku spaces specifically due to Jujutsu Kaisen.
Now I am not talking about JJK making anime more mainstream, no what I am talking is the shift in JJKâs perception by general weeb audiences.
I clearly remember that when the anime for JJK first started airing everyone kept joking âoh this is just naruto. The main characters are just team seven. And especially i remember the constant comparisons between Gojo and Kakashi. And listen Naruto was pretty much a household name back when JJK first aired. In fact these comparisons to Narutoâs cast and plot points were constant back them and JJK is not the only anime to have suffered from it.
And now, several years later the tables have flipped HARD! Now instead of every teacher character and ever male character with white hair getting compared to Kakashi, people instantly compare them to Gojo from JJK.
Like the most recent example of course being Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier who, at least on my twitter algorithm apparently, cannot escape the âHe is basically Gojoâ comments. Or the constant comparisons between Qifrey x Olruggio to Gojo x Geto.
I am not trying to shit on the JJK fandom for this by the way, itâs just something I find rather funny.

I am currently the only one in my friend group who owns a copy of tomodachi life, and as such my friends often want me to tell them about my Miis and their shenanigans.
Well, a week ago I added several X-men characters to my island and here is the kicker. I am a filthy multishipper when it comes to Wolverine specifically. However: My boyfriend is a staunch Stormverine shipper and my bestie is a strict poolverine shipper. Well⌠as faith may have it both Mii Storm and Mii Deadpool fell for Mii Wolverine and and now my BF and BFF started a betting pool on wether or not Mii Logan would chose Deadpool or Storm as his beloved and essentially treat my Tomodachi playthrough like a science experiment to determine once and for all which Logan ship reigns supreme
cant do the mutual first memory rb game because i genuinely cant remember anything. i dont know you were all my mutuals at birth. we were joined by the stars and by blogging
I remembered you said that you werenât sure about adding more characters to the cast in the suitors trials au, but I wanted to ask if Termagax or Codexa will be in or at least mentioned in it?
Absolutely godawful crack fanfic Idea for Witch Hat Atelier
You heard of sleeping beauty
Now get ready for
sleep-deprived beauty
Something something the girls find Olruggio collapsed in his study or in some random place around the Atelier and because no matter what they do, he does not wake up they somehow get it into their heads that clearly he must have been cursed with a sleeping spell like in a fairytale.
Cue the girls trying and failing to get Qifrey to kiss Olly to break the curse.
I know u donât want anons, but I just want to say, as a classics student and a historical reenactor, thankyou. I know u turned off reblogs off that post and I know why, but just thankyou!! Tumblr is not the nicest place for this kind of discourse, but atleast know you have a few of us who loved the post and agree %100
Thank you, anon. I am a classical archeologist by trade and in my spare time write fanfictions based on mythology and folklore, so I 100% feel you. And your message is deeply appreciate.
This will be the very last anon ask on this topic that Iâll answer to though as again it is easier and mentally healthier for me to just delete every message that mentions this movie than to read through 50 messages from Nolan fans calling me a slut or a hoping i get put in a mental facility (or worse, but I will not repeat those messages) just for the off chance of missing one nice comment. I do hope that makes sense.
I guess my very last 2 cents on this topic is that, as someone who, as mentioned earlier, also writes fiction based on folklore and mythology I absolutely understand that no adaptation will ever be 100% accurate, heaven knows my own arenât either.
But I at least wish a retelling would TRY. Even if it fails and falters, the effort to simply try alone shows me that the creator felt passionate enough about their project and respected the source and its culture enough to do the their due diligence.
That is why for example, despite it being the polar opposite of accurate, I have nothing but praise for Epic the musical as you can tell Jorge tried and he had passion and love for what he did. Nolanâs Odyssey, above every other complaint I have just feels hollow. Itâs a bombastic but void spectacle that uses a lived historical culture as mere window dressing.
All in all: thank you anon and I wish you and the people dear to you nothing but the best. And if you are up for it, my DMs are open if you wish to simply talk about the classics as a whole and historical reenactment.

I am so fucking done with Nolan's Odyssey movie. For the LAST TIME stop messaging me about it.
It does not matter if it is to agree or disagree with me. I just want to move on and ignore this movie's entire existence until the sun burns out.
Any anon message about that movie is gonna get deleted and anyone DMing me about is gonna get blocked from here on out because some of you don't understand the meaning of the sentence "i don't want to hear about it anymore"
I think I have made it crystal clear that I do not like this movie. At all. And one of my biggest gripes with it, is its refusal to even TRY to be historical accurate. With the armours looking like an edgy 13 year oldâs definition of what counts as cool, the ship being from the viking era (nearly 2 millenia later), nearly everyone wearing pants despite in ancient greece pants being something only âbarbariansâ wore etc.
Like this movie was almost tailor made to piss me off specifically by getting nearly every historical fact about ancient Mycenaean and general greek culture wrong that you could possibly get wrong.
Except for one. Homosexuality.
Anyone whoâs dabbled in greek history for more than 12 seconds has probably heard the joke âThe Greeks invented sex. The Romans realised you could add women to itâ, and while it is a bit exaggerated, it is based in truth. Homosexuality was pretty common in ancient greece BUT, it was also used as a way to assert dominance over other men, especially younger men and even boys.
So colour me amazed when, out of ALL the things from ancient greek history that Nolan did not manage to fuck up, it was the âweaponised homosexualityâ as Iâm gonna call it, by having Antinous (Robert Pattinsonâs character) kinda flirt with Telemachus (Tom Hollandâs character).
Now i have no idea how big the age difference is supposed to be between these characters in Nolanâs Odyssey specifically, but it is pretty obvious that Antinous is older and his pretty aggressive comments which many have interpreted as âflirtingâ, is him using homosexuality to assert dominance over Telemachus - which I repeat, is something that was common in ancient Greece, I am not denying that.
So what I am trying to essentially get at, is that Nolan ignored all of Greeceâs actual history EXCEPT the one that portrays gay people as moral deviants (and like if you have read the Odyssey, youâd be well aware that there are many other reasons and ways you could have hammered home to the audience that Antinous and the suitors are bad people).
The best comparison I can think of to explain why this feels so weird to me is: imagine if Nolan made a movie about the mongol invasion and got nearly everything wrong about it that you could get wrong. Like heâd make the Mongol characters live in Tipis, ride genetically mutated goats, communicate exclusively via throat singing and wear denim jeans. But the ONE THING in regard to historical accuracy heâd kept in was the rampant sexual assaults women experienced at the hands of the Mongolian invaders.
No one would deny that it happened; it is a well documented and dark fact about history, yet you also get why it would feel weird to have THIS be the only accurate thing in the depiction of Mongolians. At that point it just feels kinda targeted and hateful.
