Holy crap, you've been watching BRS?

And it's amazing how much SJ stuff you pick up spending a ton of time on places in the internet where it is a Thing. I realized the other day that after all the autism advocacy stuff I've discussed with my mom she has a basic understanding of privilege now and how it works, and she's fairly conservative politically.

Yes indeedy! I just haven't really talked about it because I've been busy this entire time that I've been watching it, with other things shoving it out of the way. That and I wasn't sure what to make of it until the twist happened.

And agreed so hard about picking up SJ stuff via the internets. That's the only reason why I know about privilege and safe spaces to begin with.

Like nekusagi, haha awesome you have been watching BRS. Indeed, the ending man. D:

I admit I too am not that well verse with social justice as to me it's great to point it out, but sometimes it might get a bit far and backfire if you don't know what you're talking about. Privilege is one of those things that should be mentioned if the opportunity comes.

Total agreement on you over Miku! :D As for Homestuck, lol Aradia is one of my favorite trolls actually and I'm on the indfferent/hate side of Gamzee because the fandom kept talking about him ALL THE FREAKING TIME. @_@

Inorite? Didn't even remotely expect it, even when Mato started bringing the weird shit up about Yuu.

Agreed with how it's so easy to have SJ discussions backfire on you, particularly because of how many people out on the internets will jump on you for the smallest things. Buuuuut also agreed about privilege. I mean, I hate the term for it because it sounds so condescending, but grasping what it means is so vital to understanding any SJ concept whatsoever.

High five for Miku, and as for Gamzee, I have to admit that the only reason why I like him is because I found awesome Ask Gamzee vids on YouTube. It's hard not to like him when this happens. Same story for Karkat, actually.

I had to get a Discord userpic just to agree with everything you said about him. Lauren Faust set out and said, "I want this guy to be like Q from Star Trek." and whoever replied, "Fuck it, let's see if John De Lancie will VA him." is an utter legend. The rumours about him doing more MLP voicework are very tasty indeed.

Discordantly really is one of the greatest pieces of fanwork ever to come out of MLP. It definately made me enjoy a bit of Discord/Celestia, although my preferences lean much more towards Discord/Pinkie Pie nowadays.

MLP Music fandom is best fandom.

aztecravemonkey March 26 2012, 05:22:28 UTC

Can I steal that userpic? 8D

And also, inorite? That song and the Q bit just sealed the deal for me. There's no way that my favorite character can be anyone else but Discord now. 8D Also, he's doing more MLP voicework? I hope that's not just a rumor because oh goodness, that would be sweet.

Word to the rest of this comment all over.

diddy106 March 26 2012, 08:39:08 UTC

I'd be insulted if you didn't steal it!

Yeah, it's only just a rumour, but people are taking a rather humourous approach to it by assuming that Princess Cadence is actually Discord in disguise. Which would make for a strange honeymoon present for Shining Armour.

aztecravemonkey March 26 2012, 18:35:49 UTC

YOINK!

Also, as unlikely as it is, I would love the world immensely if Princess Cadence is Discord. Or I would love the world immensely if fic of that exists.

YES, CAVE STORY. Quote is one of the reasons why I love working with silent protagonists and how you can only really characterize them by their choice in action and not their words.

aztecravemonkey March 26 2012, 18:37:54 UTC

High five for Cave Story! And I have to say that I can't blame you. It's definitely an interesting challenge to work with silent protagonists in writing, but seriously, fic needs more of those shenanigans out there.

Also, Quote is indeed all kinds of awesome. :D
