Is there a Gravity Falls AU where Mabel is just Dipper’s imaginary friend? If not I have big plans for you!
Someone had the AU AU, where they live in alternate universes but are in contact, so they were sort of “imaginary friends” to each other that no one else could see. I only remember there being, like, two or three chapters of that, though
Gadzooks. I’ve been summoned. And here I’ve been eriting this Soos ficlet.
While Dipper learned most of his paranormal knowledge from great uncle Ford, Mabel was taught everything she needs to know to protect her nerdy brother from Grunkle Stan. He was so proud he gifted her his brass knuckles, that she immediately gave to Dipper so he could engrave them with runes and spells to be able to punch ghost and demons.
You just don’t mess with Mabel or her brother, she’ll fuck you up.
I don’t wanna think about what would happen if he didn’t apologize and quit filming.
Okay so from what I know of cats, one of two things is possible: 1. White cat is scared of orange cat hence the scary slow movement. 2. Cats generally don’t talk to each other “out loud” cause they have a way of communicating with each other that we can’t hear. The fact that the orange cat went “vocal” to the other cat makes me wonder if the white cat isn’t, ya know, a cat.
fandom “elders” are always so creepy. if youre 25+ and in a fandom space with literal 12 year olds you need to conduct yourself as if you were in a room filled with children. you cant say youre a fandom mom and in the same breath make porn of underage characters. you are a fucking adult. act like it.
im all about adults continuing to be passionate about their interests if it makes them happy. but honestly yall had better fucking behave. recognize that youre in a space filled with vulnerable minors and its very easy to manipulate them if youre gonna be like “uwuuuu im a momma to all the fandom babies im a fandom grandma”
what u sound like:
What the actual fuck? YOU come into fandom spaces and try to tell ‘fandom elders’ how to behave? Fuck off. Who do you think built fandoms? Who do you think made fandom safe spaces, so we could go from covertly mailing out fanfics, to hiding on Geocities afraid of being sued, to Livejournal, and rebuilding yet again after Strikethrough?
Who do you think coded Archive of Our Own so you could post your fanfiction, free of the need for disclaimers? Who do you think draws, writes, headcanons for your fandom? It’s not a bunch of screaming twelve year olds, I’ll tell you that.
‘Fandom elders’ have been here long before you were old enough to bang blocks together and dream that one day, you’d be an insulting asshole that demands people older than you go away because anyone older than you must be creepy and manipulative for trying to enjoy something they’d enjoyed for years before you.
YOU’RE the one moving into fandom space. YOU’RE the one that should modulate your tone. YOU’RE the one that needs to sit back and respect their damn elders.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 We don’t waste out time putting our age on our descriptions and tagging nsfw content thoroughly for kids to come and say what we can and can’t do. Wanna stay away from fandom elders? Please do so. Don’t wanna see certain content? Xkit and tumblr savior exist for a reason. You’re responsible for the content you see on the Internet.
“You built this castle, now go fuck off or at the very least shut the fuck up, we moved in and it’s OURS now!”
LOL. NO.
How about everyone behave decent to each other. (And kids who want to play in fandom better learn how to avoid content they dislike. Like we do.)
how about it’s not even 9.30 AM and I’ve already seen enough bullshit for today to last me a week without OP looking like an entitled spoiled kid? look, man, when I was fourteen and ran into older people in fandom spaces I sure as hell didn’t ask them to behave how I wanted since like I was the last one arriving, how about you shut the hell up and if you don’t want to see porn and stuff you go somewhere else until you’re old enough to share a space with adults or people more mature than you anyway
This is such a strange and self-centered mentality. People like OP seem to have missed the memo somehow that other people – older people, in this case – do not exist simply to make them feel safe and comfortable, and I can’t help but feel it’s a sign of people who haven’t yet learned to be responsible for themselves – who haven’t yet made the experience of what it is like to lead an independent life.
@autisticalistair, @ovrcasts : I might be a mom, but I’m not your mom. I am not going to do your laundry. I am not going to tell you to tidy your room. I am not going to wipe your nose. I am not going to wipe your ass.
I am not your caretaker, guardian, or teacher. It is not my duty to guide you, to be considerate of your needs, or to provide for you (be it fandom content, or comfort, or validation, or “safe spaces”, or even trigger warnings). I don’t get paid to treat you with kid gloves.
You entered an adult space. Guess what, this is what being an adult means: it means that other people are not responsible for you. They exist independently of you, and they have no obligation toward you that exceeds basic tolerance and courtesy.
But if you think that you cannot handle that, and that you cannot talk to me like an adult, then I’ll be happy to take it up with your parents.
is it really so hard to ask to have some common fucking decency and act accordingly in a space with majorly, if not mostly intended for minors with respect for minors
im tired of fucking 20 year olds in fandom spaces turning out to be creeps that create porn of children and spread it around where kids can access it and then blame kids for stumbling upon your gross content is it so fucking hard to ask not to make gross shit of children in childrens media
“an adult space” please, this is a site intended for teenagers. and the media im referring to is CHILDRENS MEDIA, like cartoons and shoujo anime and fucking ya books. im not referring to adult content anyways. i thought that would be apparent but i guess not
i have friends who are adults. as ive said, im ALWAYS for people who have things that still make them happy. but you can enjoy things while realizing theres a power dynamic between you anda majority of the people in the fandom u interact with and that your content isnt made in a VOID
for an actual example, you think i go up to those fucking scary ass adults who put untagged incest and pedophilia in tags of my favorite anime and ask them to stop? guess what they told me. “lol are your parents watching what you do on the internet, dont like dont look”! doesnt matter that that content is fucking reprehensible and makes me physically nauseous, theyre older so of course they have the moral high ground over some stupid fucking kid, right guys? theyre the most popular person in the fandom and they dont give a shit if teenagers see it or if theyre even upsetting ANYONE, yet maintain a fucking happy friendly persona!!!!
what was the point of my addition, and probably op’s original point? it was not directed at you all apparently for your apparent vitriol of “spoiled” children on this damn site, but adults who ***claim*** to be role models for easily influenced teenagers then turn around and interact innapropriately with children. but hey, if youre gonna be an adult who seems to have a moral fucking high ground because you think youre better than children for enjoying childrens media as an adult and dont have to respect their boundaries, then fuck off too!
You’re operating under a misconception.
Tumblr, as a whole, isn’t a meant to be a safe environment for kids. This is a platform that allows for a wide range of content, and it has very few rules and limitation besides tagging your explicit stuff as NSFW.
TUMBLR IS NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR KIDS AND IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE.
You have to be at least 13 years old to sign up, but that doesn’t mean that this environment is safe, content-wise, for every 13-year-old under any circumstances. It just means that as a 13-year-old, you should have the mental capacity to navigate this website in a way that ensures your personal well-being.
And if that isn’t the case? Well, then a person who is responsible for a minor’s safe media consumption should limit their access to this site.
You know who is responsible for the safe media consumption of minors?
Their parents.
See, tumblr users don’t operate under your terms. They operate under the terms of service and the community guidelines, which allow them to post explicit content if they so choose.
Tumblr is a blogging platform for everyone. Incidentally, it’s also vastly popular among fans for fan interaction and fanworks. But as a “fannish space” it’s home to a huge amoung of interconnected fandoms, as well as millions of hipster and food and travel and activism blogs. There is no way to cut out one part of it and keep it separate from anything else. If you want a moderated space, one where people only post things in accordance with strict content policies, then tumblr is the wrong plaform for that.
is it wrong for me to want it to be a safe space? is it wrong for me to not want adults to be weird on a website 13 year olds HAVE ACCESS TO?
holy shit, youre once again twisting my response into “dont like, dont read” when the problem is that adults are making reprehensible shit OF. CHILDRENS. FUCKING.MEDIA. in the first place and not discerning WHO THEYRE TALKING TO
and the content i was talking about in my example wasnt even fucking explicit, it was just disgusting and wrong and portraying a JAPANESE MIDDLE SCHOOLER in a romantic relationship with their AUNT with NO FUCKING WARNINGS GIVEN (although i found out they made constant, heaping amounts of porn too on accident, which i kno once again youre going to say is my fault and that its not weird at all for adults to jack it to fictional children lmfao)
key words? childrens. media. not adults. childrens. sorry that you feel so entitled to kids shit that you feel like its adults rights to make gross shit of it and advertise it in public tags!
is it wrong for me to want it to be a safe space? is it wrong for me to not want adults to be weird on a website 13 year olds HAVE ACCESS TO?
Not wrong, per se, just entitled.
You believe that other people have the responsibility to keep you safe from content that you find distasteful. Content that you, personally, don’t like. Content that you were brought up to think of as objectively bad, or that you just find icky.
But that responsibility does not exist in a space like this.
I get the feeling that you imagine tumblr as a public playground.
A space made for children to play under supervision. The grown-ups loiter around at the benches. They smile indulgently at you. They say “Gosh” when someone spills juice over themselves. Armed with kleenex and drinking bottles and sun lotion, they hug and comfort their children when they fall from the swing. In this image, children are there to play in a safe and wholesome environment, and everyone else just exists to provide safety and comfort.
But tumblr isn’t your playground. Tumblr is your metropolis.
There are lanes and squares and blocks and parks and alleys. Some streets are broad, with fast-driving cars – if you want to cross them, you better watch out. Then there are some boring, rural dirt roads at the periphery, with lots of pictures of pretty landscapes and beautiful still lives. There are bustling malls where every other store is a candy shop. To sweet to be healthy. Then there are darker places, narrow alleys full of dumpsters, and in the corner right behind the broken sofar and the discarded bycycle, there are two people dealing crack. Those are the places your parents tell you to stay away from.
Basically, tumblr is a vast, booming citiy full of just about every kind of content that is possible. It’s a given that you won’t like everything you see. It’s only natural to stay away from some places, and it’s only natural not to want some people to show up in what you see as your neighborhood. What are these guys doing here? We don’t want their kind in our street. But as it happens, you don’t own the city, you don’t make the rules. Everyone around you has the same rights as you do. Everyone else is doing their thing, and, guess what, they are not asking for your approval, and neither are they willing to stick to the rules that you are trying to enforce. This big, bustling city is not going to turn into your safe and protected little playground. And the more you keep screaming at people because they fail to protect you from what it means to enter a space like this, the more you look like a toddler throwing a tantrum.
And it’s not wrong to want a “safe space” but it’s amazing how the same people who demand a “safe space for minors” also happen to be, or outright ignore, minors who do nothing to avoid, in fact outright seek out, adult content.
Safe spaces are static, they don’t go with you when you barge into adult content or places that make you uncomfortable and demand the adults cater to you.
That’s why tagging, warnings, nsfw flagging, Xkit blacklisting, and safe search all exist. Blocking, as well. Use those tools. Don’t demand people cater to you, create an environment that feels safe for you.
What gets me is that OP thinks 20-year-olds are fandom elders.
