did y’all just forget that lapis was heavily based on and came from rebecca sugar’s margo in bed, which was a comic she made about the literal abusive relationship she went through? and yet y’all wanna make jasper the victim huh
lapis can be a legit self-insert of rebecca’s experiences of an abuse survivor and y’all still wanna make her out to the abuser. telling.
full offense but it is fucking ridiculous the lengths this fandom will go tryna make lapis out to be the abusive one instead of jasper. we’ve had:
-actual abuse survivors come forward saying they relate to lapis and that they heard these same words form their abusers
-multiple depictions strengthening jasper as being the abusive one, showing her dragging lapis around, yanking her to her so she can’t get away, threatening to shatter steven, blaming steven for lapis recognizing their toxic relationship and saying no, saying she’s changed, that she’s “different”, gaslighting lapis and maker her out to be the abuser, and literally coercing her to fuse with her when lapis was in no position to refuse her
-lapis being heavily based on (enough for margo to be considered the “proto-lapis”) rebecca’s comic margo in bed, which was about her experiences in an abusive relationship
but we still have people reaching so hard their arms break to convince others lapis is the abusive and violent one….almost like…someone we know….👀
Furthermore, the things Lapis did that people claim to be “abusive” were her literally self-sacraficing to keep Jasper from emerging, gaining power over her, hurting Steven and the others, etc.
Also there are so many people talking about how “boring” Lapis is, and her “lack of personality”, as if those aren’t typical traits/behaviors/outcomes that..literally come from abuse…for a good number of survivors
I don’t know if this has already been posted but a fan asked the official character designer of Pokemon Go about Blanche’s gender and he answered that “everyone can interpret it the way they want to”!
Things that are okay: Having a headcanon about a character’s age/sexuality/gender/ethnicity.
Things that are not okay: Imposing your headcanon on others and harassing them if they don’t agree.
Things that are even less okay: Accusing someone of serious things such as homophobia/pedophilia/transphobia for something as stupid as not sharing the same headcanon as you.
Then we had reverse Rickrolling, where you trick people into thinking they’re about to be Rickrolled, but it’s really something else.
Then we had post-reverse Rickrolling, where you set up what looks like a reverse Rickroll, and folks are pleasantly surprised to find that no, it’s actually just a Rickroll.
What’s next?
A compilation of further variants from the asks, tags and notes:
The Wrongroll: Tricking someone into watching the video component of “Never Gonna Give You Up”, accompanied by different and wildly inappropriate audio (e.g., Rick Astley performs “Down With the Sickness”).
The Teamroll: Making a post that looks like it’s going to be a Rickroll, but isn’t, then having an accomplice post a comment that contains the actual Rickroll.
The Bait-and-Switchroll: Posting a different obnoxious meme (e.g., “JOHN CENA”), which is interrupted by or segues into a conventional Rickroll (e.g., you have now been Rickrolled by John Cena).
The Interrupted Rickroll: The reverse of the preceding entry; it starts out as a Rickroll, which is interrupted by or segues into a different obnoxious meme.
The Counter-Post-Reverse Rickroll: Tricking someone into thinking you’re trying to trick them into believing they’re about to be Rickrolled, then reverse Rickrolling them anyway. (Extended variants of this type are omitted for brevity.)
The Pseudoroll: Linking to a different song by Rick Astley.
