The Rumbelle fandom is amazing and talented and has the most creative ideas but it seems like a lot of us are sitting here like “what if they find out what a dork I really am and don’t like it??”

Friends, let me clue you in on something.

WE ARE ALL THAT DORKY AND IT’S WONDERFUL.

I’m telling you right now that I am dorkier than any of you could possibly imagine or likely be in real life. For real. I’ll give you some examples:

1. I have a cat and I give her a voice. And I argue with myself in her voice.
2. In fact, every animal I come across gets a voice and all of them have sassy attitudes.
3. I often go to bed at 8pm on weekdays and 10pm on weekends because I like my sleep.
4. I know a vast amount of information about the Geiko (Geisha)/Maiko history and culture of Japan and have even gone so far as to make a formal study of it. I can answer all of your very niche questions. When a form of media incorporates Geiko and gets even the tiniest thing wrong I have a fucking fit. (Looking at you, Westworld😤)
5. I love early American history and had a blog called Your History Teacher Sucked for awhile because I am of the firm opinion that the way we teach history in the United States is bullshit and boring and can be way more fun.
6. I was a hardcore Vampire: The Gathering player in college and I miss it all the damn time. D&D as well.
7. I am a vastly hyperbolic person and unironically refer to some of the people I love as “blazing glorious unicorns descended from holy heavenly rainbows.”

There’s more where that came from. And if you’re saying, “But, Maple, none of this is that dorky,” to that I say, yes it fucking is and that’s ok.

Let your dork flags fly the same way you let your LGBTQIA+ flags fly, friends.

I hope this makes some of you feel better.

Maple, Maaaaappppplllleeee!!! You are adorable, and I love you, ok? 🙂

I LOVE YOU, TOO @scribbles-by-kate

OMG that’s adorable!  Mr Sprite often yells at the TV when they get Japanese culture/history etc wrong so I feel you.  I’m thinking he shouldn’t watch Westworld…

Mr. Sprite would be irritated as fuck I think with the season 2 Shogun/Edo (roughly) arc. It feels so token to me. The way non-white culture is treated on that show angers me in general and the Japanese arc boiled my blood, especially when they introduced Geiko/Maiko characters. Like, do your fucking research.

Mr Sprite yelling at other things we’ve watched:

No! OMG that’s completely wrong!

Fuck, that’s COMPLETELY disrespectful, you would DIE for that!

Okay, but the seating plan is all wrong, that would NEVER happen!

Well, that’s not even the right era for that porcelain…

He can’t reach his sword in that outfit, wtf?

Excuse me, you show that level of disrespect and you walk out of there?  I don’t think so.

No no no, they’re not prostitutes!  Look at the obi!  FFS…

I think you’re supposed to be uncomfortable by the racism because it was all written by a gross White dude who was probably a major weeb. That being said, I wish the show made that point more explicitly.
