'I personally don't like this ship because I prefer this other ship' = a normal attitude to have/thing to say on your own blog/account/spaces

'I prefer this other ship so I must prove that it is MORALLY SUPERIOR to your ship and also the ONE CORRECT SHIP and you all are therefore WRONG and also STUPID for shipping that other thing, which I will now be reminding you of constantly. Also, as evidence for why I am right I will be slandering and mischaracterizing all of your favs <3' = please work on yourself

#like......it was NEVER this serious #if i see one post hating on jamie from r/ks im going to scream #the worst part is its not just they don't understand jamie and therefore hate him #they also don't understand R AND K like!!!! #stop coming into MY house then!!! #ted lasso #but also like. just generally fandom

the second worst part of the “ed eats soap” joke is that it distracted the whole fandom from how funny it is that not only is ed upset that he isn’t given any of the ship’s fancy soap after breaking up with stede, he verbally expresses his disappointment about it. like, out loud. he says it like he’s hoping that maybe it was an accidental oversight and they just forgot to pack him some. like what did he think would happen, that lucius would just go “oh shit, my bad, i’ll be right back with that!” hello??????

#the 1st place worst part of that overdone fandom joke is the racism #ofmd #our flag means death #edward teach #edward teach born on a beach #lucius spriggs #ofmd lucius #lucius ofmd #s1e08 #txt #mine #j #og

The worst thing Miguel and Jessica did to Gwen wasn't even threatening to send her home if she ever visits Miles, it's forcing her to choose their side during the chase scene and make Miles never want to see her again and once the chase scene ended they kicked her out. That's the kind of evil that the Spot was trying so hard to become.

Edit: just in case you forgot - they knew that prison and dead dad were waiting for her when they send her back home

#they're both cool and all but how shitty do you have to be to do this i couldn't believe it when i saw it #it wasn't even bc she was arguing they just didn't want her why didn't they kick anyone else out who helped him #i used to think that they might ever work together sometimes but i don't actually want it #they gaslight her and told her to follow the rules and when she did they kicked her out anyway #that's so bitchy #i just know that if she had anywhere else to go she wouldn't be a part of their cult anyway #and the worst thing is that the fandom blames her for everything #gwen stacy #spider man across the spider verse #i don't want to tag miguel and jess i don't want to start a fight or anything #across the spiderverse #spiderverse

The reason this fandom hates IDW Optimus isn't because he's a cop (plenty of people are fine with Prowl) or because he's a bastard (most characters in IDW are) but because he commits the crime of being an actual person who's messy, flawed, and makes a shitload of high stakes mistakes fitting for the intense situations and pressure he's put under constantly.

But we can't have Optimus actually react to his situations by lashing out or being unpleasant, no, he has to have the personality of a cardboard cutout of G1 whose only defining personality traits are "dad, funny, nice," and if he ever vents negative emotions it can only ever be #relatable depression or him being sad on his own without ever letting it show during the important parts of the story. If Optimus dares do things like be angry or frustrated or bitter it's just a sign that he's a bastard and LITERALLY the worst Optimus ever. If Optimus ever makes mistakes or does wrong things in the heat of anger/frustration/stress it's because he's just an evil bastard with no redeeming traits.

God forbid Optimus go through an unending gauntlet of war, politics, atrocities, near-complete loneliness, and a seemingly endless cycle of violence for his entire life and come out of it kind of bitter, angry, and tired of dealing with people's shit. He's not allowed to be a realistic person, context doesn't matter, sympathy doesnt matter. IDW Optimus doesn't fulfill the fandom's fantasies of Father Figure or Perfect Cultural Icon or Twinky Fucktoy and since that's the only reason most people care about Optimus in general, the fandom collectively trashes on IDW OP.

All because he can't fit into the overly simplified and childlike double standard the fandom has where if any other character is messy and flawed, that's good writing and interesting and compelling, but if OPTIMUS is messy and flawed, he's Literally The Worst and he's an asshole for no other reason than He Sucks, context be damned

#squiggposting #ive been here too long and seen the same shit too many times #i'm tired of going 'maybe it's just a difference in taste' nope #the issue is literally just double standards and people not reading the text or taking things out of context #and the worst part is if this were just something OP haters did i would get it #after all if you just dont like OP then of course you arent gonna find anything interesting or compelling #but i see this shit from literally other MOP fans who supposedly love M and OP #but their OP takes are shit and i can count the no. of people who write IDW OP on one hand #i kind of thought that at least among other OP fans there would be deeper readings but if anything it's worse #fandom OP content is 50% haha funny dad jokes g1 knockoff OP and 50% yaoi uke twink sad baby OP #so unimaginative. so fucking boring. so immature #to style yourselves some sort of mature TF fans and then viciously reject the One OP who #dared to be written a little darker and more flawed than any others #it's literally just people refusing to give a chance to any nuanced take on OP #they just want him to be There and Nice and for his biggest flaw to be Being Annoying About Equality or something #might delete later might not

blows my mind there's not even a Chinese coven in The Twilight Saga. no Indian coven. only ONE coven in the Middle East/Africa: EGYPTIAN. no Greek coven, no Iranian coven, no Afghan coven, no Ethiopian coven, no Nigerian coven; FUCK ancient civilizations i guess! no one in South or Central America but the AMAZONS???? for real?????? the POTENTIAL to incorporate LEGENDS and HISTORY and CULTURE — wasted! i CANNOT with this author thinking the only vampire civilizations exist in Europe & America!! fuck off directly into the sun!!!

#you know what the worst part of this is???? #it's actually better off they don't exist because you KNOW Meyer will just depict them as RACIST CARICATURES #this tag is sponsored by Maria 'her features were clearly Mexican' [NO LAST NAME GIVEN] #and of course the 'wild' 'feral' Amazons #oh and lest we forget Amun 'all Egyptians look the same' [last name] #OH AND LEST WE FORGET #THE ENTIRE NATIVE TRIBE MEYER APPROPRIATED & COLORED W/ RACIST TROPES & STEREOTYPES JUST TO PROFIT OFF OF W/O GIVING BACK ANYTHING TO THEM #yeah it's such a shame actually this author is so ignorant bc this series could have been batshit insane with coolness #whatever you won't hear me complaining too much - that's what this fandom is for #saddle up twilight bitches we ride at dawn #twilight #twilight renaissance #the twilight saga #twilight saga

guess who stayed up all night binging one does not love breathing by @wackus-bonkus-maximus​

#this dynamic made me laugh out loud several times #the whole. adrien constantly wallowing in self despair is a minor disturbance to felix #and the only tool adrien has to combat The Worst Situation On Earth is to make fun of felix for having feelings as often as he can #I feel satisfied now that i've completed the current fandom trifecta of Ladynoir Lost Contact And Everyone Is Doing Terrible stories #ml #ml fic rec #my art #adrien agreste #felix graham de vanily #wackus if ur reading this. that part when adrien asked if everyone was gonna be okay during the power outage while he went to go #check the generator #and felix was like 'no we're just gonna sit here fumbling in the dark until you come back and save us' #made me LAUGH #I love them theyre so ridiculous

At some point, "ignore canon! Anything you want can be considered canon!" becomes you no longer liking the series or characters you claim to like and instead, creating your OCs and giving them a canon name because clout.

#the worst thing the marauders fandom has done to me is make me a staunch supporter of canon #but like here we are #there are parts of canon i absolutely hate but like... i acknowledge it exists before i tear it to shreds #whereas yall are out there writing completely unrecongizable shit and patting yourselves on the back for it

glass animals (you know my favorite band of all time whos entire tracklist i have memorized by heart and whos been my top streamed artist for 4 years in a row) being deeply associated with a certain shitty content creator and his equally shitty friends bc of their most popular song is a hell that the yaoi devil designed just for me

#finn txt #glass animals #and the worst part is its not even just heat waves they got helium and honestly like the entire dreamland album aesthetic too like #never gonna forget the time my friend saw me listening to heat waves on spotify cuz of discord and was like “OMGGG FINN CAUGHT IN 4K- #ARE YOU A [REDACTED SHIPPER] /J WHY R U LISTENING TO THAT“ DAWG BECAUSE ITS THE MOST POPULAR SONG FROM MY FAVORITE BAND #fork found in kitchen #for the record i was ahem. deeply involved with this fandom #and they said that when it was socially acceptable to do so bc they werent openly horrible people yet

evan who loses his mind when he finds out his sister — his soft, sweet sister who would never hurt a soul ever — has a snake as her animagus, while he — the heir of the rosiers, a slytherin through and through, tough, scary evan —has a fluffy, innocent looking bunny

how is that fair???

I read Hussie's author notes and they were so disappointing. He dismisses Eridan and gamzee as one-dimensional nastyboys, he claims Rose and Dave's true arc was to refuse their quests and they just needed to stop feeling guilty about it, and he says karkat's final frog didn't even matter and he was just worrying over nothing. There's so much potential clearly written in and he just throws it all away bc lol. Your analysis is so much more nuanced has so much more thought put into it both with regards to who these characters are as people and the role they serve in the plot. I'd take your ideas over what hussie thinks is canon any day of the week.

this is super funny to me because i absolutely take what hussie says into account like all the time HAHAHA

Like genuinely I go back to their formspring/tumblr/forum/book notes all the time to see how on-track i am with my analyses. If you like whatever bullshit i'm talking about, then you like hussie's writing!

#like if you read all of hussie's writing back during their formspring/tumblr days #it's all usually very insightful and very clear that hussie not only cares deeply about their characters and world #but also REALLY REALLY UNDERSTANDS STORYTELLING #and it becomes really easy to pick apart what stuff they say at the end of their time on homestuck #and figure out what parts of it are frustration at the audience & what parts probably hold some truth to them #and the thing is i dont even really blame them for turning against the audience #because tbh ive been there (on a much smaller scale) #harassment/witch hunting campaigns are genuinely traumatizing and terrifying #and i really cannot overstate just how much the fandom used to go for hussie's throat over LITERALLY EVERYTHING #it was horrific to watch back then and it's frustrating now #so from the bottom of my heart as somebody who's Been There i *get it* and cant hold it against them #the worst parts of the SU and Voltron fandoms came out of homestuck #now imagine that aimed at you 24/7 no matter what you say for months and months #like people literally called hussie homophobic for saying the trolls are all bi/pan by default #and that even within that framework kanaya is explicitly a lesbian #like??????? yeah i would be pissed at the fanbase too

Love the idea of trickster Lucifer/The Devil who tries to manipulate and psychologically torture everyone into leaving god and taking away all their chance to be redeemed.

But I'm hungry to see Michael never falling for it.

And I don't mean the Archangel who goes down to his level to make people still have faith, who also hurts others and even his own to go against the devil. Neither do I also mean the Archangel who is blinded by faith and does whatever he wants because he can't fall, or even the Archangel who acts just as pompous and prideful as any other prince.

I clave for the Archangel who fails and learns his lessons, who always gets hurt in the end but never gives up on humanity, the one that became so human it breaks him entirely, the Archangel chief prince that rules through heaven and the pressure of it holds him forever. The Archangel whose faith doesn't waver, whose scars are visible like those of a warrior, whose mind is sharp from the ages and wise from its confrontarions with the devil. The one who is patient enough to hold a conversation with the worst of kind, the one who has learned resilience from the humble and recieved strength from the loveless. The one that has been through the war and never forget it, but neither does it forget to love the enemy through it.

#rant: #that talk with the devil and michael over his body and the whole thing of jesus being tempted as a human by the devil always made me wonder #if the angels after the fall of Lucifer would also be subjected to more of that #possibly even better manipulation than the ones before the fall #so i tried to gather my two braincells to think how the angels could be portrayed. and especially how important it was to remain #to the teachings of god #especially for michael who has to show the best parts of a leader and a warrior but also a protector and an angel like any other #and i do love to think he can talk to the worst. he has earned every human trait and honed it. #and just as well also fall to it. the thing is he quickly tries to regain himself with rhe help of god. #where as Jesus was born perfect as it was and meant to be the perfect one. #like i kinda see the angels each one try to reflect a part of humanity they have learned from them and being influenced by it. #angelology #angels #bible fandom #abrahamic mythology #abrahamic religions #michael/lucifer #Christianity #headcanons

IF we get another life season we cannot do the secret life fandom again. Btw. Since it's been on my mind recently. Literally what fucking possessed some of you guys

I have been here since double life and have genuinely never seen this fandom be so toxic before. Sessions 6-9 especially were full of fandom misogyny and complaints and what have you. It literally was not a fun experience. And i was LESS involved with the fandom than ever before due to my own loss of interest

#Genuinely secret life was the worst experience I've ever had in the fandom. The only fun part was the fanart #I won't even blame Gem if she never comes back for how horrible some people treated her. I'd fucking support it actually #ren posting #secret life #discourse #<- for tagging reasons
