Vengeance

i feel like we’re underappreciating the comedic gold that is andrew “i confessed to killing my mother during a random team meeting” “i broke the arm of the mafia man threatening my sort-of-boyfriend on live tv” “i threatened to murder anyone who steps within 10 feet of me” “i went toe to toe against the japanese mafia for a couple of dumbass stick ball players” minyard being neil’s impulse control

When you said fanon Neil exists as a phenomen, what did you mean? What is the fanon version of Neil like?

fanon neil is the product of two unspoken shipping culture rules 1) whoever’s the bottom becomes a very passive, sweet, soft, feminine, non-confrontational cinnamon roll as opposed to their tough very masculine possessive top (aka “the bottom treatment” - the term coined by my colleague @writingpuddle) and 2) the “someone will die - of fun!” dynamic has to be present at all costs so if one character or both don’t fall under the sunshine one vs the grumpy one personality types fans will make them so.

canon andrew’s already very masculine and grumpy so he’s fine and these sides of him don’t get erased, so his partner must necessarily be the blushing sunshine uwu boi. the fact that canon neil is much more active than andrew, very rude and confrontational, can stand up for himself, is also much more “masculine” than “feminine”, can say horrible things and handle very stressful situations without outwardly showing how he feels, is manipulative and tough af, has probably killed people - all of this gets discarded bcs it doesn’t fit the binary (and very heteronormative) tough boy/soft boy dynamic.

obviously not all fan works portray neil like this but there are enough to form a very unsavory trend

I miss properly being in a fandom. Since I went to university, I been busy and havent had good time to invest in fandom and creating things and I hate that. My last exam's on Thursday and then I shall properly indoctrinate myself back into fandomhood.

POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time AUGUST 5th, 2021          11 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

The fact that both of zukos abusers used lightning against zuko and instead of learning to use lightning himself like he could have he learned how to redirect the lightning and let it pass through him and then straight clean out of him… Do you ever think about how that is literally physically representing how instead of absorbing his father and sisters abuse he lets it pass through him and instead of soaking it in and letting it destroy him he redirects it away from himself… I just want some peace in my life
