Crrryy - My Fancies

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes

(This post will be kept pinned & periodically updated until 28 Nov)

Lmaoooo

Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like a year:

Link to post.

But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:

Link to post.

Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.

Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.

Link to post.

Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)

As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.

It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂

Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.

Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

Edit 3: Explainer: why did those boots have this movie on them anyway?

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.

Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.

Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.

Edit 8: Holy shit y'all we have the theme music. With sheet music. And it's on Spotify!

Edit 9: THERE IS A TRAILER WITH THE THEME MUSIC

----------------------------------------------

I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.

Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)

Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)

Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Contd from yday)

Edit 13: The music from the masterpost all compiled into a 31-minute original score with video edits on YouTube (edit: unfortunately taken down)

Edit 14: Staff's Goncharov art showcase for Tumblr Tuesday

As of closing on Day 3 there are 371 works in the AO3 tag.

Luffy is SUPER cool when he's angry

The Trick™

I’ll tell you what, that moment when Zoro tells Kuma that Luffy will be the Pirate King….it just gives me chills every time. I mean talk about powerfu—-oh. Oh, Sanji, I’m sorry. Proceed. 

In retaliation for this….

The conclusion…

17 years of One Piece: Art + Tears

If I had to choose one (among many) of the things that, to me, set Oda’s art apart from other shonen artists, it would probably be the way he draws his characters crying. I always loved that with him there was never any sugar-coating when the characters need to express their emotions. No sparkly tears, no beautiful, cute, crying faces. You get the ugly sobbing, the runny nose, the tears blocking the vision. Basically, you get the raw emotion and pain that the characters feel, which has a huge impact in more emotional scenes. And that’s, in my opinion, one of the things about Oda’s art that really deserves praise.

Type of fans when they have ships

The Beginner: Wait… you mean I can pair anyone with anybody??? you mean it’s okay if I don’t root for the official couple?? I can ship this guy with that guy even if they’re in different shows and still find content of it from the internet?? OH MY GO—

The Analyst: As proven from episode 26 Season 7 and from the novels I’ve read and analysed for the past 8 days they are clearly in love with each other! Look at the symbolisms portrayed by the show! This elephant right here?? Depicts that they are clearly not acknowledging the obvious sexual tension they have for each other!! PLUS LOOK AT THE INTERVIEWS!!

The Multishipper: Hi so I ship this guy with that guy and this girl will be their girlfriend too oohhh wait I want to have this dude too in the bunch oh oh oh hey I’m shipping these too!!

The strict shipper: This is the only ship that are meant for each other! They are not meant to be shipped with other people but I’ll respect the other fans if that’s their preference.

The strict bottom/top fan: So A is a top and B is a bottom and I will make sure that all of the smutty fics I make/read or fan arts I see/ draw are in that order.

The verse fan: I don’t care who is fucking who I’m happy either way.

Their ship became canon but the other died: WE WANTED THIS BUT NOT AT THAT COST!

The 5 stages of grief fan:

Denial: This can’t be happening! No I do not accept this! I do not acknowledge that this happened! A joke! A prank is what this scene is!

Anger: It’s the writer’s fault that this is what happened! Those producers did not understand the meaning of what they did! They should have known the amount of backlash at them would be that hard!

Bargaining: Perhaps they can still change it?? Maybe there’s a secret episode that they’re not showing yet! How about we make a petition to the creators to change the ending?? I heard from the other fa–

Depression: my life is a mess right now because of what happened. I think I need time and space to process my thoughts. *sobs at the corner holding their ship’s photo while looking for fix it fics and fan arts*

Acceptance: After taking a lot of time healing my emotional wounds… I’m now okay with what happened. Now let’s go read some happy fics, watch some happy AMV’s and fan arts!!

The “they’re doing something for the shipbase content” fans: hahaha wait I really want to make a fic/fan art/AMV so I’m going to spend the whole 24 hours - 1 week making them. Oh I hope they’ll like it! Wait no they’ll hate this-No! They’ll like it I’m sure! *uploads it on the internet* *5 minutes later*. No views/kudos/like/comment yep I knew it they hate it what was I thinking I–*1 view/kudos/like/ comment* Omg!! Somebody actually liked my work!! I’m so happy!!

The one who can’t make fanfics/fan-arts/Amv’s fan: I know I can’t make shit for the life of me but hell I’ll make sure to give love to every content about my ships! Also I’ll make shitposts/memes about my ships!

Their ship actually became canon fans: Wow.. To be honest I never thought we could actually make it this far. Huh. So who want’s to go and party? And by party I mean rant and squeal and make contents for our official ship?

The rival shippers: So that guy and that guy hate each other? Interesting. Ooh they’re looking at each other with hatred and competitiveness? Sexual tension. They’re forced to be with each other against their will?? Ship it. Look they’re learning to accept and cooperate with each other?? That’s love bitch.

The murder shippers: We completely acknowledge the fact that they are messed up in the head and that their love for each other is toxic and their co dependecy is downright concerning but since this is fiction and we are aware of what is real and acceptable from abuse and toxicity we will still ship this for reasons of our own but mainly because of the way they interacted with each other that if viewed, removing the norms and manners accepted in society, can actually be deemed as romantic. Here have some cookies and cupcakes and also have some intricate fanfics and fan arts!
