lordy i’ve been following you for 4 years and people are still coming at you for a fictional ship

[[ it’s called an ad-hominem, when they can’t actually debunk you so they try to find something else which which to declare themselves morally superior. “lol u have an anime icon u fuckin scrub i’m not taking you seriously”, etc etc. ]]

let me make this PERFECTLY clear; ocs are not free from criticism, just like canon characters aren’t free from criticism. you personally are not free from criticism, and neither am i as a person; you asked for an opinion, you didn’t say where and how you wanted it to be said…. we gave you an opinion and then because it wasn’t people agreeing with you and coddling your poor baby sensabilities you had to go down this downward spiral of misconstruing my words.

you have no right to criticize an oc just because they say they are a member of the akatsuki; canon CAN change, and has been retconned several times. you can’t for the love of god tell oc’s who write their muses in the akatsuki that it’s unrealistic when you’re shoving your dirty FILTHY ideals about brother x brother in a almost pedophillic way WHEN THAT’S NOT CANON. THATS NEVER BEEN CANON.

“we have to keep our canon characters to a canon standard” esu says, while slurping up sasuita like it was crack.

anyways, candlefingers, turn off your monitor and move on.

[[ :3c @icewept you’re an anti too, i guess? Try not to ad-hominem, my shipping tastes have jack all to do with criticism of OCs. The most important part is it’s fictional. You lose so much credibility when you try to call me a pedophile. It’s actually not even worth responding to you because you tried to resort to a serious accusation over fictional shipping, but I’ll be nice.

I can see the point you’re trying to make here, in that by roleplaying canons we tear them out of their storyline and they get to do things that don’t happen in canon, we’re all guilty of that, sure.

When an OC claims to be a part of something that didn’t happen in my character’s timeline, that puts obligation on me, as a canon character. The point we’re all making is we have the right to say no. I pick and choose where my character strays from the strict canon events, not my partner. An OC claiming to be part of Akatsuki– what started this whole ordeal, directly makes a demand on my timeline and my events, something which I am not obligated to accept. There will be people out there who do accept it, and that’s okay, but I and others never will be, and it’s well within our right to outright reject these OCs that make insane, immediate demands to our characters. It’s like  someone from two cities over finding your address and claiming to be your long lost cousin, demanding your time, attention, and so on. ]]

uwu 

you’re a fucking pedophile. tw:shota

[[ This reads “We need to end the culture that ALL OCs are perfect” op has never rp’d an OC have they”; this theme is super illegible but that’s not the point of this post. 

@hijonaisha since you vagued me, here’s a direct response. 

Secondly, if you’re gonna resort to assumptions, I have an OC. Two, actually. Here is the first, the other blog has been gone too long and is deactivated. She’s been my OC since 2009 and she was a blatant, awful self insert at first, and had it not been for proper criticism she would’ve stayed that way. We may share a name, as it’s also my online alias, but she’s a separate person. I RP’d OCs a long time before beginning to roleplay canon characters, I saw them intimidating, and I didn’t want to get them OOC. (It doesn’t stop people from playing canons really OOC, while we’re on the belief that only OCs get flak, anyways.)

I had never seen an environment where people were told to not ever criticize OCs until tumblr. It happened on iScribble, it happened on FB, it happened on dA…only tumblr is like this. 

I still play this OC, but on other platforms.

I’ll say it again….by acting this aggressive/defensive over people saying some OCs need work, or don’t fit the rules that the media sets, you’re only playing into the culture that OCs cannot be criticized. What is the point of offense, anyways? I’m not obligated to write with you or any OC I dislike, just like you’re not obligated to write with me. ]]

[[ Apparently Akatsuki discussions started arguing so I’ll say my piece on it (lol)

Yes, sure, you can say the canons we play are basically someone else’s OCs (which is true), but look, canons get just as much scrutiny, I judge people’s portrayals often because I prefer them being close to canon. If a canon is OOC I will avoid them. 

OCs must not break the established rules of canon, this is…basic stuff. You can’t just insert an OC into Akatsuki and expect them to be just as powerful, it’s what I said before– it’s a cheap way of getting to interact with or “be important to” desired canon characters without any of the real effort required. Kind of like “child of X canon character” OCs, they also fall under this. 

Plus it creates this entitled behavior of “you have to accept my muse the way I write them and you have to write with me” and no, people don’t. No one has to play with me if they don’t like my Itachi, for example. I don’t have to play with anyone who’s portrayal I dislike, whether they’re an OC or canon. This belief that only OCs get flack for bios/strength is false, it applies to canon just as much.

We happen to have generally accepted views of what’s acceptable in a canon and an OC, and if you disagree, that’s fine, but don’t act like I am obligated to write with you. 

A late edit, but the most important thing: We need to end the culture that ALL OCs are perfect, well-written, and  unable to be touched by any sort of criticism. It only fosters creators to be stale and to not ever improve. ]]

[[ Good: Orochimaru believes himself to be a positive/good influence in the lives of his subordinates/experiments. In his own words/own point of view, he saved them from much worse fates and has given them a purpose. He doesn’t believe anything he’s done is truly wrong and will make up any and all excuses for himself.

Bad: Orochimaru is a good person and/or he’s made a turn around and he is a good person now. He’s a good parent™ and erasing Mitsuki’s memory six times is okay because Orochimaru said so. He loves them and I believe so purely because he said so, his actions be damned. ]]

Emergency!

Hey everyone. My name is Hanna and I’m 33 years old and live with chronic illness. After a tumultous couple of years involving lawsuits and caring for my terminally ill mother until she passed, I went through a rough patch only for it to get rougher.

I caught my husband of 10 years cheating on me and ever since I caught him he’s been aggressive, controlling, and economically and emotionally abusive towards me. He tried to put a lock on the door to the bedroom he forces me to share with him and cut off my access to joint funds while demanding money from the new job I JUST started. He even refused to hand over my half of our joint income tax until I agreed to sign a paper stating that I got it after shoving the papers angrily in my face.

I’m saving up for a lawyer and to get a car and place of my own and really need help to get out of this bad situation. The lawyer alone is going to cost three grand.

Please, I’ll be grateful for reblogs or donations. Anything to help me get out of this situation so that he can’t try to bully me anymore and I can have a better leg to stand on for fighting for what I’m entitled to out of our 20 year relationship (ten dating and then ten married).

I’m super grateful for all the help I’ve received thus far and for the support everyone’s given me as well as the finances sent to my paypal (erinlyn34543@yahoo.com).

Thank you so much,

     Hanna
