Woe, flunky be upon ye
I'm challenging myself to draw every cog in Toontown corporate clash so be ready to see more of my cog drawings :)
The victim blaming in the ttcc community is astronomical. I played the game for the first time in months to check out the new lore, and immediately see people saying “lynn is horrible” “lynn ruined the potential peace cogs and toons couldve had” “thomas couldve been our friend but lynn ruined that”
This is just a repeat of barnacle bessie vs misty. People hate the toons for fighting their oppressors. The cogs are the bad guys. Some cogs having more individuality or not totally agreeing with the system they work under does not make these toons bad people for fighting them.
These toons see every cog as a threat because, as a whole, their company is invading their land. And they are not wrong to think that way. They are defending themselves against this known threat. It is not the toons’ jobs to take a risk with every cog they come across “just in case they’re one of the good ones” or some bullshit.
Idc if some cogs like misty or chip hate the company or are sad. Idc if lynn was an inconvenience and annoyance to thomas’ job. That doesn’t make it the toons’ jobs to sympathize with these cogs or see “the good in them”. The responsibility will always and forever fall back on the cogs. The company, as a whole, is hurting the toons. Anyone who works under the company is, therefore, indirectly hurting the toons by default.
I’m not saying the suits can “just find another job” or smth because I think it’s established its not that easy for them. Im not dismissing the cogs’ struggles or that some, evidently, arent “as bad” as others. They still have individuality.
But none of that makes bessie nor lynn wrong for their actions. What’s stealing some shirts compared to literally invading an island and its citizens.
Also thomas isnt an uwu smol bean who can do no wrong. He is a large contributor to the problem. You can like him and understand him to an extent, but why must this ALWAYS equate to “therefore the toons are evil” in this community.
Im tired
splatoon fans are like “you GOTTA listen to ‘freshwater freekin it’ that one is straight fire” and link you to a song composed of synthesized cat meows, first graders playing recorders, and vine booms. and then by the end you’re absolutely furious because they’re right
splatoon fans in the notes are behaving how you might expect
Its real now thanks op
i cannot BELIEVE
When it’s time to name a list of aromantic characters, I feel like most people always mention the same ones and miss out on many aro characters that exist out there. Hell, I feel like most people ignore even some of the best ones, like Sakuko and Takahashi from Koisenu Futari or Tomoko from Konya Sukiyaki Dayo, in order to favor characters that are more “mainstream”.
There are plenty of aro characters that I’d like to discover as well. Today, I’d like to highlight a less known canonically aro character that is ACTUALLY written to be aro IN the story. They are aroace, but I will focus more on their aromanticism here:
