#you're mean and that's worse

text version:

hey can we please quit gatekeeping stuff?

sick of ppl being like “owo you like this character? ur a basic fan, not a real fan, how about you actually watch the show/read the book/play the game instead of just obsessing/thirsting over one character”

or acting like “oh if you don’t hate this arc as much as i do then you’re not a real fan, if you don’t hate this character then you suck lol, if you like this character then you’re a terrible person/dumbass”

and don’t get me started on the virtue signalling, purity culture, harassment of others, etc (don’t call for people’s deaths, what the fuck is wrong with you??)

this is fandom, we’re all weirdos, leave people alone and let them engage with media in peace

shoutout to people who don't have a "before" the trauma.

shoutout to people who don't have any sweet or nostalgic childhood memories. to people who don't remember enough of their childhood to know what the before was like. to people who lost their innocence before they ever learned the word for it. to people whose pasts were too painful to keep around in any form. to people who only knew trauma, and don't have an idea of what life would be like without it. to people who can't long for "the better days" because there weren't any.

you deserve a good future. i hope it's there for you soon.

#trauma #ptsd #childhood trauma #sorry just. feeling shitty about not having a past anymore #and please i'm so tired please for the love of god don't tag this with self deprecating shit like 'but i dont deserve anything' #you're only feeding into your mental health getting worse and you're using other peoples attempted positivity to do it #its just mean to both you and the op

alpha/alpha isn't even a canonized AO3 tag yet and Pit Babe The Series is already out here like "there's a special kind of alpha that can get other alphas pregnant 😜"

#''i can't believe we live in a world where live action shows do fanfic tropes—'' nah. it's worse than that. #we live in a world where live action tv shows come up with kinks and tropes that ao3 hasn't even thought of yet #and by ''worse'' i mean ''better'' if you're an enjoyer of unhinged media experiences like i am #pit babe #pit babe the series #thai drama #lgbt drama #omegaverse #theo.txt #100 #500

I shall force you to unironically declare that you're 'not like other girls'

#i dont care what pronouns you use you have to say 'im not like other girls' like you mean it #to make it worse you have to add on something like “i hate shopping” or “I read” or 'i'm not a sl*t' #sorry non-girls you're not allowed to make it into a joke with the addendum 'I'm not one' you just have to say it #you get bonus points if you say something about converse or being quirky #(these are bold words coming from a woman wearing converse right now mind you) #read the tags

allow me to gush for a second but I love this fandom so so much - the older fans and the new joinees and the casual lurkers - because everyone has absorbed the one essential tenet of the show which is always and forever "yes and"ing any situation, no matter how bizarre. you will always find someone who reads your crackpot theory and screams with you in the tags, you will always find someone ready to clown another day, each day a new person reads your fic and leaves a comment, a new artist finds a new scene to put a spin on and share, every day I see so many incredible lunatics in the tags who are just being happy and stupid and yes and-ing friends they don't know they're forming lasting bonds with, and I love that despite everything - the anger and the heartache and the sadness of it all - open joy and fandom bonds have persisted

#ofmd #our flag means death #this is a great tiny fandom that does so much #and loves openly and without abandon 🥹 #ive been a part of so many fandoms - better and worse #but this one has such a special place in my heart #you're all lunatics and ily #meow speaks #I would not trade this for anything #fandom

look, i know everyone said that the new interview with the vampire show was incredible but holy shit i was not prepared for how incredible this show is

like, not only is louis interesting now, he is incredibly compelling! his once-bland internal dilemma is now given actual weight because it's not just the same old Thou Shalt Not Kill But I Am Hungry story, it's tempered through his righteous fury at how black people have been treated all these years, how many people have wronged him and laughed and expected him to laugh along, how his ties to the community that once saved him are now turning to nooses around his throat, how his family that he once provided for and relied on have now come to fear him

that, combined with his explicit homosexuality, and with lestat being the only one who seemed to accept him and love him for all that he is, and how that is both comforting and incredibly toxic and combined with sam reid's insane charisma and mania and gravity as lestat that make it completely understandable why louis would still be drawn to him in spite of everything

and how they've used the changes from the original to this one to examine how memory shifts regarding someone who was so intense and formative in your life even if they were ultimately so controlling and abusive but still left such huge gouges in your personality like knives

like

fuck

this is the best-written show i have seen in a long time like this is top-tier writing holy shit

#interview with the vampire #iatw #i kept thinking ''eh idk if this is for me'' but now i'm just. frothing at the mouth over the quality and the nuance of the writing #and the incredible acting and the shifting timelines and the nods to the original not as easter eggs but integral parts of characterization #i mean. mind blown #at the sheer level of writing going on here like holy shit this deserves so many awards #FUCK AND CLAUDIA IS JUST #FUCK #like if i had to pick the ''worst time to be made immortal'' it would undoubtedly be 14 #i mean kirsten dunst being 10 is definitely awful but 14 would be so much worse #because you are on the very *cusp* of adulthood #and to be denied ever reaching that adulthood would be an unspeakable torture #like you're just old enough to *know* but just too young to really *experience* #and you're at the very peak of being Your Worst You #like 14 is undoubtedly the worst time to be made immortal #literally nobody would ever even remotely want to be 14 forever that's everyone's idea of hell

One thing that's incredibly annoying about the A:TLA fandom is how nearly every. single. well thought out piece of Zutara analysis is inevitably invaded by people who are massively condescending and allergic to media analysis in general.

If you don't like Zutara, that's fine - but why are you watching 2-4 hour long videos on why they would have been a good pairing if all you have to contribute is, "They weren't canon/you're delusional/they sucked/get over it lol".

It's very frustrating to pop into a fandom space and try to spectate on some thoughtful discussions, just to have it overrun by people being rude.

#and i do mean overrun - many of the comment sections just devolve into attempts to debate people who don't actually want to discuss anything #like discussing opposing views can be wonderful but that requires actually engaging with what you're commenting on #if you aren't interesting in doing that and just want to gush about your ship then find people to do that with??? #it's like when spuffy is mentioned on reddit but worse fucking wow #i see why i noped out of this fandom all those years ago 😆 #zutara

but do you truly hate him more than you hate yourself?

canto 5 keeps feeding me. I love me some good ambiguous dialogue where you can infer that ish is either reciprocating heath's negative feelings or admitting that she also dislikes herself. 10/10. good food. I'm so happy with how these two are being written and developed.

#limbus company #lcb ishmael #lcb heathcliff #limbus canto 5 spoilers #heathmael #ishcliff #when I say i ship it what I truly mean is I am emotionally invested in their inner turmoil and mutual loathing #I wanna watch these two get worse and worse and so much worse #throws them in a blender #you're both MISERABLE #ugh i cant wait for the finale

[lilliths-httyd-blog]

really wish people would stop insulting others over different readings of media. i don't care even if it's a lighthearted insult, if you call someone stupid for having a different interpretation than you, you're still insulting them, and you are in the wrong in this situation. it's not banter, you're just being a dick for no reason. stop.

Be honest, Jonny. Did you write My Immortal?

Of course not!

I wrote Cupcakes.

The Acolyte showrunner just gave an interview talking about how the show will be "jedi critical" because "that's the story george lucas was trying to tell" and I'm about to commit a crime

#like I'm very upset because #the production looks extremely cool! #but i don't think I'll be able to put upwith the amount of bs I'm sensing from this #like what are they gonna do? #have jedi refusing to help people? be mean? #and then imply is was exactly how GL invisioned them? #(honestly the comparison with tlj was almost worse than this) #the point of that movie was that Luke was WRONG #how tf is a media producer saying this #just admit you're doing your on interpretation I'd be less mad #star wars #the acolyte #negative #pro-jedi #jeid positive
