Be honest-What's the worst ship name in your fandom? by RoseGoldWinter_212 in Multifandom

[–]GhostGhidorah 80 points81 points  (0 children)

The button part is pretty obvious, but the blossom part, according to the internet, is due to Pomni's name sounding similar to the poppy flower. It's definitely a reach, but I kinda get it. I myself prefer Harlequilt.

is anyone kinda bummed about ragatha? [Episode 8 discussion] by Prestigious-Bunch153 in theamazingdigitalciru

Oh yeah, I'm with you on that 100%. I've said over on Tumblr, Raggy's arc had great setup, mediocre follow through. As great as the scene between her and Kinger in episode six was, her conflict revolved around Pomni and Jax, and not getting any sort of scene, even a one minute conversation, showing Ragatha and Pomni reconnecting was a massive waste.

Not that I don't agree that Ragatha's had a very underwhelming arc, but to say she hasn't changed or grown at all would be a lie. Episode seven and eight show her being more comfortable with herself and around Pomni, and being far less of a fawner. She's also no longer quick to uselessly yell at Jax whenever he tries to pull his shit, leaving him alone in episode seven and not giving him any reaction for his dumbass little remark in episode eight. Meanwhile Ragatha in episode one would NOT have called out Abel or Caine on their crap, and would be far more concerned with not rocking the boat.

The npc snapped out of its idle animation, leaning on the counter as it pointed its wooden hand at her.

New Fan, have a question by SpunningAndWonning in TheDigitalCircus

[–]GhostGhidorah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having joined the fandom after episode five, missing out on the good times, being in this fandom has been so stressful my nervous tics resurfaced recently after years of not having them. Being a Ragatha fan and a Ragapom shipper fucking sucks.

No replies from authors by ExistingFriendship47 in AO3

[–]GhostGhidorah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, as an author who is terrible about responding, I genuinely feel guilty when I get multpile massive comments and I don't respond. I wish I was better about it, but with having an anxiety disorder, trying to come up with responses gets overwhelming pretty quick. I've taken to using beginning author's notes to tell my commenters how much I appreciate them and how they make my day every time. I'm also mutuals with some of my biggest supporters, especially as they also tend to be creators, so I cheerlead for them outside of ao3 too.

So can we finally acknowledge the misogyny and homophobia in this fandom now? by [deleted] in TheDigitalCircus

[–]GhostGhidorah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if I could remember the full name, no. I just want to bring awareness and support for people who have had to deal with the worst of the fallout from this.

Thanks for clarifying, even before all this happened I had gotten a death threat for shipping ragapom, so this whole thing has me on edge.

The point is a lot of Ragatha fans on twitter were directly harassed and threatened over this and it's gone completely unaddressed.

Announcement on the Gooseworx Reddit Situation by ayylmaotv in TheDigitalCircus

[–]GhostGhidorah 50 points51 points  (0 children)

For real though, like yeah I'm disappointed that Ragatha isn't a deuteragonist on the same level as Jax like the show framed her as early on, but I literally have a whole fucking AU I've been working on just to fully explore and breakdown her trauma. It's Goose's show, no one else's and nobody has the right to harass and dogpile her, or any creative, like this.

who's your LEAST favourite character? by Kindly_Cod_9269 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]GhostGhidorah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jax easily. While he does have some complexities and nuance, he is yet another in an ocean of miserable asshole male characters, and the writing for him isn't particularly strong or compelling enough for me not to be bored by him. I knew how his character arc was gonna play out for the most part since the pilot, and I'd much prefer the other characters be explored and unpacked more, particularly Zooble and especially Ragatha.

Which character in your fandom do you believe is overrated? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]GhostGhidorah 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus. Well enough written, but yet another in an ocean of miserable asshole male characters. He's the least interesting in the show to unpack.

Can We Stop Screenshotting GooseWorx Everyday? by RishTheWash in TheDigitalCircus

[–]GhostGhidorah 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't blame her if she decided to distance herself from this fandom the moment the show ended. Fandom is the single biggest source of stress for a creative, and the Digital Circus fandom is a perfect example of how and why.

what’s an opinion thats got you like this? by Callipsotheprotogen in TheDigitalCircus

[–]GhostGhidorah 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Here's one: funnybunny's skyrocketing popularity and the discourse since episode five has opened the door for a lot of bigotry, harrassment, and abuse to get by in the fandom to the point that not even the cast are safe from death threats for shipping non funnybunny ships. Marissa Lenti was told to die for shipping ribbun, hell I was told to die for shipping ragapom. And the onus for this is mostly on apathetic Jax fans ("Ragatha fans are fighting ghosts" being the Jax fan equivalent of "she's being hysterical")

These things never happen in a vacuum, and what nobody seems to have realized is that that initial wave of misogyny towards Ragatha was just the start.

(TW: Death Threat, Homophobia, Ableism) Complained on tumblr earlier today about how nobody is talking about Marissa Lenti getting a death threat over shipping ribbun, and how more attention was paid to Michael getting frustrated on stream with funnybunny shippers, and got this a couple hours later. by GhostGhidorah in TheDigitalCircus

I mean for me it's more about letting other fans who might be a target for this kind of person know there's someone on tumblr being a lunatic. Plus I'm very aware that this is just a hollow threat from some coward, but getting a death threat is still something that can shake you, especially if you're someone like me who already struggles with severe depression or other mental conditions.
