update: the rock got a name change

Zoozve, my beloved

I learned from a video essay about deaf representation in media that Alexander Graham Bell was a racist and ableist asshole. he believed in eugenics and changed the education for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.

And he isn't the inventor of the telephone but just the guy who got the patent. b/c society was too classist for an Italian immigrant Antonio Meucci to pay the fee and renew his patent.

I've been thinking about the Pirate AU of Hetalia. the fanarts, the fanfics, the selection of which characters would be which role, etc.

If Hetalians wrote Pirate! Nordics fanfics and drew lots fanarts because of that 1 Hetaween year, then they can totally do the same with Pirate! Seychelles. She dressed up as Captain Hook for Halloween 1 year.

Missed opportunity, guys!

Same sentiment can be made with any other country outside of Europe. like China. THere are plenty of Chinese pirates. There was even a famous WOMAN pirate leader! Zheng Yi Sao! Just do a bit of history research, and make adjustments in your writings if necessary.

Character Analysis of Quackity and ElQuackity

I wanted to post this some point in the QSMP Quackity vs ElQuackity in-roleplay drama (after Purgatory 2 event). I think life got to me. and the emotions from the QSMP ending.

Well, I wanted to write up this thing. So I'm keeping everything as it was drafted in my notebook. Long post warning.

Because of how the content creator plays, act, and talks, it all bleeds into his roleplays. Which leads to everyone and us viewers bullying him. Bullying him and his characters. (Dying to a fly, getting lost in a circle, using the wrong mic on Day 1 and not noticing after an hour...) It can't be helped.

Here's the problem. Our bullying prevents us from taking him seriously. Prevents us from taking the time to tell the differences between Quackity from Opening Day and ElQ. We are mixing them up. Other characters in RP are also mixing them up. We shouldn't. We should be paying attentions to the details. So we could've noticed the cries sooner.

The Q we know and follow the most is a loser, yes. But he's a victim to a tragedy. His entire story thus far is a tragedy. He struggled parenting alone, lost his child, took out his anger and grief onto others, demanded life and power from Cucurucho multiple times, only to get kidnapped, tortured, and imprisoned many times. And did we cried for him?

Nah, we all just laughed at him. Sure, we cried with him over child death. But his absence is overlooked so quickly because ElQ's appearance. A sudden arrival to replace what was lost. Sure, some people did suspected him as someone different. Not our Q. Maybe our Q. Who's to tell? We can't judge tho.

Because both have similar personalities.

This strange ElQuackity is the main character of an epic. A villainous epic, perhaps. But an epic. He thinks himself as both a villain and a hero. He's doing everything he can to get his happy ending. He's suave, cold, calculating, manipulative, dangerous, a menace to society, and evil. He has a lot more power than we realize. He probably has game mode on. He has access to the other servers and spoilers while loser Q does not. He was a Federation Employee, now Purgatory employee. Both very sus and evil roles.

We should be afraid of him! The unsuspecting villain warns us all many times, to deaf ears. there is a reason why we should be more wary of high-ranking Federation employees. Fine, it's their fault for not listening.

{ As a quick side note: I'm aware of the non-canon/ not-lore moments when Q acts more like his CC! self than his RP/ In-character self. Like those days when he introduces a new content creator to the server. When he told Acau the time he died to a fly. That death was him in his ElQ role during Purg event. Obviously, he can't tell the new guy on his first day that he plays 2 characters. }

Every other character are indeed wary, but they're confident that they can defeat him. After all, Quackity is a silly sad guy. Right?

And the lore keeps expanding for each character. More recently for Quackity, he made complaints that everyone talks to him as if he was always around.

"We can't trust you after last month."

"But I wasn't here last month. I wasn't even awake..."

He can't explain the memory gaps.

I think ElQ takes advantage of his resemblance to the sad loser version of himself. You can get a lot more done in secret that way. Remember that he stole Q's train ticket and replaced him, impersonated him for Purgatory. Nobody seemed to noticed anything different.

When you share the same name and face, who would think twice?

Hey uhm hot take that shouldn’t be hot:

Traumatizing yourself does not count as awareness for a cause.

Yes, don’t ignore it, but don’t doomscroll and purposely go out of your way to look at literal massacred children or self immolation or other carnage and what-have-you, then do nothing about it except reshare it and gush about how it gave you panic attacks and nightmares for the next week.

You’re not helping. You’re turning a fucking genocide into shock content to fuel your white savior complex.

It could’ve happened to YOU had you been born in the wrong place at the wrong time, too.

Have some respect.
