Hi! I'm Shadow, I write fanfiction and post/repost fandom stuff. I post NSFW content. I also like a lot of problematic ships and content. This is not a safe place for minors or antis.

My tumblr is: freevoidman
My AO3 account is: shadowbearing
I mean, ZA already has a lot of mixed opinions, but most of the complaints I've seen haven't been from the changes, it's from the things that have stayed the same. Pokemon's suffering from "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality and they refuse to do anything bc it makes a morbillion dollars
I know I'm not a fan but I truly think that these first two episodes, if not the rest of the season, will go up there with GoT season 8 and "somehow, Palpatine returned" levels of self-destruction and stupid writing. What a god damn show, I'll be amazed if there's an 11th season.
My parents and I watched the first two episodes of 9-1-1 (they're fans, I'm morbidly curious) and I truly can't understand how this season got greenlit aside from prior seasons' momentum. This show treats its audience like they're stupid and jumps the shark every five minutes, actually awful.

Pokemon Legends Z-A’s Lumiose City is too much of a flat wallpaper for me to enjoy. 2.5 stars.

In this review, I reflect on how Pokemon helped me through my cancer recovery, and how today, I hope it learns as I have, that survival is only the beginning.

Review | I’m 44, and ‘Pokémon Legends: Z-A’ makes me feel the walls closing in
“Pokémon Legends: Z-A” injects some energy into battles. But the series has never had a world this lifeless.

It's really wild that digimon is in such a positive space when compared against pokemon, it feels like a complete flip of how both series were perceived in the late 90s/early 00s.
lrp unfortunately i will likely need those government accounts to remain unblocked considering, y'know, the fascism and i want to know what bullshit they're saying, but I get if you need to block the shmucks

"no one tags incorrectly out of spite" i'mma be real I might become that strawman at this rate because I couldn't give less of a fuck who tops or bottoms and I refuse to ever consider that important enough to tag. I'm giving you the fic for fee you'll take it no matter who takes it up the ass.
why is it that it's always mdzs wangxian fans that have the literal worst takes in the world on anything in fandom.

And yes this is about the stupid top/bottom discourse going around on twitter i am so fuckin sick of it i gotta stay off the site for the next month apparently.

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

#SaveSpeech

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

i feel like this is a classic "We only care about fictional victims, not REAL ones" thing like. If they made a nendoroid of daisuke or swansea in their death pose/alternate face I don't think people would care, but bc it's ANYA and she's an rape victim we can't touch her she's sacrosanct now
like idk i don't really think a nendoroid of anya that can be used to recreate a very striking scene from the original game is bad, especially since the nendoroid comes with different face plates and poses? It's not that big an issue honest but people are weird about mouthwashing lbr
I feel like a lot of people who are saying Anya's nendoroid having her suicide be depicted is morally wrong like... doesn't get the point OF nendoroids. There are plenty that depict either a fucked up scene, moment, or transformation of a character out there, this isn't out of the norm
If you have preferences that's great! No judgment, you do you, I have my own preferences personally, but I wouldn't tag top/bottom stuff in my fanfiction because I am far, FAR more concerned with tagging ACTUAL MAJOR TRIGGER WARNINGS over who is taking it up the ass.
idk what pisses me off more about that comparison, the fact that someone equates top/bottom SO STRONGLY that being "exposed" to something that doesn't fit that narrow margin would kill you, or that people that don't tag it are effectively committing murder. Over gay sex fanfiction.
I largely don't care who tops or bottoms in ships/porn so the entire argument feels dumb to me but holy shit the people comparing not tagging who tops or bottoms to "not disclosing a snack has a major allergen" is flat-out stupid it is NOT that serious. It is a fanfic. Chill.

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content
Sam Altman suggests ChatGPT is cannibalizing your fanfic and erotica to make its own clanker porn, rolling out this December.
ChatGPT just got filthy after new update lets it talk dirty to you

it doesn't help that lumiose FEELS massive but is really mostly empty. It becomes a visual and gameplay blur, playing XY felt like a "getting lost in a city" simulator
agree bc pokemon doesn't have CRAZY visuals, but I when I imagine some of the stand-out older gen cities like Goldenrod, Rustboro, Jubilife, and Castlelia, they all stand out WAY more to me visually than Lumiose because they feel unique and Lumiose is just kinda. there.

Maybe a good day to unfollow Hard Drive if you had still been following them. It's no wonder they need AI to make jokes for them these days.
reminder that the people who made Hard Drive good were pushed out and some of us are doing our own thing here. give us a follow to support independent gaming satire and not whatever the fuck this is supposed to be

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat
