#I’m not even a big fandom person

[dogfood69]

I'm like. So close to digging out my old kaishin plot bunnies out of spite. Canon is dead Fanon is real. <33

No need to mourn if the reveal never happened <33

So true I think detco especially— okay preface I love detco. It’s fun. The old movies are so pretty. But plot wise, from a non sentimental lens? It kindaaaa…sucks….its only really alive on the internet because of fanon imo. Idk in the real world but online the popularity of detco, which is very inaccessible to being is kept alive by fandom space. I mean alive as in getting new fans

So like it’s SO ballsy for gosho to do a reveal ( again idk if it gosho im not sure if he’s been writing more for the movies bc they do seem more canon as of late but whatever ) 25 or so years down the line that these characters are cousins when it will have zero bearing on the plot and even the voice actors have fed into it lol. Like maybe if u did smth with ur series instead of moving the plot at a snails pace it would be in ur hands to decide but it rlly isnt so like. Who tf is gonna take this as canon??

Like if anyone is uncomfortable with the ship now that’s fine ig but like you shouldn’t let this geezer stop u <3 especially bc this will have. No effect on the dynamic of the show. Ik ppl are upset but like guysssss it has no bearing do what u want. The show belongs 2 us now! Remember when I genuinely forgot her name sorry akai’s dead girlfriend was revealed as a cousin and nothing has happened of substance or when we had that really long eisuke arc ab his sister and nothing rlly changed or now we have shinran but…nothing really changed. U get me

Sorry for the word vomit AND GOOD LUCK WITH UR FICS!

Anyway I love Black people and seeing this explosion of creative and cultural expression is healing something in me I think 🥺

Now to make some Black ATSV moots to bounce playlist ideas off of…

#atsv #across the spider verse #black in fandom #miles morales 42 #Hobie brown #margo kess #miles morales #no between these four I can have unlimited black love ships and that’s so— #even with my other big fandom…the main love interests are both white chile #I feel bad I have read much margo fic because my fic interest is basically just /Hobie #Flowerbyte and Prowlerbyte are making POINTS #as is PunkFlower and PunkProwler #even all their ship names are adorable like?? #also? idk how to ask without making ppl feel alienated but uh #what…what about an interdimensional all black friend group 👉🏾👈🏾 #love the spiderband as much as then next person but Margo and Miles 42 is excluded a lot from them #the sibling energy that can exist between them too…basically I’m into everything?? #I just love black people being happy in community and/or in love ok #this is for the niggas strictly for the niggas

sometimes i remember that gojo wanted to tell geto “we’ll meet again, right?” just before he died but forced himself not to knowing it would have cursed him and then i start thinking about how kind and thoughtful gojo is as a character and how he hasn’t been able to lean on another human being since geto defected and then i want to . Scream

#like. there’s something almost helpless about that question. because gojo doesn’t *know* the answer…. he’s asking for reassurance #he wants to know if they’ll ever meet again even though deep down he knows the answer #and it’s so… bare? so vulnerable. #if he had voiced it that would’ve been the first time in TEN YEARS that gojo truly bared his heart to someone and asked for help #but he knew it would turn into a curse and so he gulped the words back down. :(( #gojo is such a sincerely kind and thoughtful character and it breaks my heart that sooo many people in the fandom can’t see that 😭 #he isn’t a saint and he definitely isn’t selfless but above all else his goal as a human being is to make sure no one ever feels alone. #that no one has their youth taken away from them….. that everyone gets a Choice in how to live their life :(((( it’s so important to him. #i just genuinely don’t understand ppl who insist that he’s morally gray ….. gojo is a consistently Good person and that never changes #he wants to have fun and laugh and he wants his students to enjoy their youth. he wants them to think he’s cool. #he’s the big brother slash father Ever and i love him to death #i got sidetracked this was supposed to be abt geto 😔😔 anyway the final scene between them will always be my Favorite ever #and the key to understanding both their characters and love for one another #ty for coming to my ted talk i’m feeling normal abt them today 😇😇 #ari noises ✩

(Mildly) dyspraxic Barty Crouch Jr HC is back (I’m dyspraxic btw) and like just

dyspraxic Barty being secretly really insecure abt eating in public bc he knows he’s a rlly messy eater but he tries like rlly hard and then one time Evan wants to go to like a restaurant and he’s like having internal panic about it bc that’s like horrifying but he goes anyway bc yk he’s in love w Evan so

and yeah that’s it lol

#Look I know it’s not like an insanely big issue #But as a dyspraxic person and also left handed (bc I hc both of those for Barty) #It’s actually really really fucking embarrassing when you find it so hard to cut ur food u literally just like. Don’t. Or can’t or whatever #And like the trying so hard to not eat messily that’s defo an insecurity everyone has but like it’s so so hard to even eat like basic shit #Without being messy bc the coordination is not there my man it is not there #My hands don’t know where my face is when I’m eating crisps LMAO #marauders #dead gay wizards #marauders era #harry potter marauders #marauders fandom #barty being barty #barty crouch jr #barty crouch junior #barty jr #evan x barty #barty x evan #rosekiller #dyspraxic Barty hc

the reason evangeline survived jacks’s kiss is because she’s a lesbian w an insane comphet crush atm, thus making her immune bc she’ll “never truly love him” (‘cause she’s, you know, 0% attracted to men), and in a month, she’s going to come out of the closet and they’re going to have an immensely awkward breakup. aaaaand send post.

#when i said i know what you are I DIDNT THINK STEPH WOULD WRITE A PLOT HOLE SO BIG THAT THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR IT IS EVA BEING A LESBIAN #like that wasn’t the power of love that saved the day… the only acceptable explanation is aurora/evangeline purple/pink lesbians. i’m…. #aurora would ACTUALLY be a good match for eva because she’s a) actually eva’s age and b) guys why are we acting like she’s irredeemably evi #jacks has done worse TO EVANGELINE in the books and he’s STILL a worse person #than aurora who never directly harmed eva 😭 literally all her villainy was actively traded for #she’s not a monster she’s jst a 17 y/o girl who doesn’t know how to talk to her crush #she’s the type of girl that sends eva a letter telling her to get out of her school because she doesn’t know how to deal w loving her 💀💀💀 #memorie.txt #.bookthoughts #author: stephanie garber #book: a curse for true love #GOD it sucked ass. completely ineffective as a ‘stunning conclusion’ and even as a book in general #OH ALSO insane that steph hates women so much… she hates them so badly she accidentally came around to writing them as lesbians #everyone in that fandom is also fucking TERRIFIED of gay ppl. god bless ur pink haired girl is sapphicsapphicgaygaygaylesbian 😘

just a reminder that none of y’all “need” anything from me. do not comment on any of my works asking for more parts—they are mostly smut-shots, the likelihood of me planning to continue any of them is extraordinarily slim. if you want to read more of my omegaverse? great, go read the other two fics i have instead of bothering me for more parts/chapters.

#leave me alone #i am not a big enough author to be complaining about this shit #and i’m aware posting this isn’t going to change anyone’s behavior #the person might not even follow me on here #but my annoyance needs to go somewhere #fandom stuff

Hey, you seem like a big warriors fan on tumblr. I keep seeing Warriors stuff on my feed. Thinking about potentially reading the books, but do you have any tips when there are literally eight major arcs, with six books in each, not including the standalone stuff. I’m really curious and I don’t have a lot of space in my house for 50 new books, do you know about any way to kind of pare down the amount of reading necessary. Do you need to read every single book to understand what’s going on? Or do you just need to know the stuff about the most recent arc(broken code) and the recent new book(Starless Clan: River) to fit in with the fandom? Any books I don’t have to read and I’ll still be fine?

Hi!!! So, in terms of not having room in your house for a ton of new books, I can definitely recommend using your local library or reading free pdfs online (or buying them if u prefer)! There are also plenty of audiobooks too :)

As for reading them at all, I’d honestly suggest reading the first arc (The Prophecies Begin) both because it’s the start of it all and bc I think it does a great job at establishing the world building and all that! Plus, the protagonist is like the most famous cat of em all LOL. Aside from that, I think the most “important” arcs are probably The Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, and The Broken Code, personally, but I do also love the rest and would recommend all of them if you have the time. I think the prequel series, Dawn of the Clans, is the least relevant at this point of time in the fandom? U don’t need to read any (all?) of the novellas/mangas/super editions to know what’s up rn but they are oftentimes a good read—just not necessary. The Warriors wiki has both simplified and detailed plot descriptions for every book that you can skim through instead of reading the whole book if you’d rather catch up sooner than later.

Also, there’s no need to Fit In with the fandom or anything. I don’t know if I’m even necessarily a big part of it, I just like engaging with it and other fans and making some art, that’s all. I haven’t read tooooo much besides the main arcs, actually, so there’s a lot I’m missing on the sidelines!

Ehhhh this is a lot, sorry, but TL;DR: start with the first arc, and use online resources or the library if you don’t want to buy books. Get into it bc u like it, not bc u want to join a fandom :P

#these are all obviously personal takes so if anyone disagrees or has anything to add feel free to say so #I’m also not anywhere NEAR being a huge influence in the fandom and I’m out of the loop on a lot of things! #these are just answers I resonate with ig #imo tpb and tbc are the best arcs #but a LOT happens in between and getting to know big characters is hard when u skip arcs #also yes everyone is talking about the newest arc obv but it’s not finished yet so I wouldn’t rush into it imo #ALSO. the books and the writing and authors are #as always with every creator & creation #not exempt from being or creating something that is problematic or has themes that are poorly handled #there is a Tribe in the 2nd arc and then here and there after that is notably racist in origin #and there r several issues with inc*st & p*dophilia even on-screen between characters #ofc no work is perfect but don’t expect to jump into something perfect and fun and amazing 24/7! #anyway if anyone has anything to add pls do lmao I’m not like. the knower of all that is wc #nothing against tnp avos nor dotc btw they’re also great but I think to know what’s going on rn they aren’t as big #well maybe tnp a bit cause of Ashfur and tbc but idk #not design #not a design #ask #lexiskillinit

[ariesbilly]

It is so sad when you find a fic of your ship with a less talked about kink but the person on the receiving end of it is not who you want it to be like damn bitch we were so close to having something here

#i am not tryna write smut for harringrove I am not tryna embarrass myself like that but every day god tests me 😫 #i can’t write smut for a big fandom that already has good smut writers like the bar has been set too high I’m not gonna clown myself like #that. my smut is reserved for my two person fandoms and even then I gotta keep it tame cuz …I’m not tryna expose myself like that #in a small fandom it’s too personal lmfao #keep my thoughts to myself!

I was reading over some old comments on fanfiction.net (circa 2008-2012, for both my own stories and those of others) and, man, people used to be…ruder? For lack of a better word? Not so much in the sense of telling the author that they or their writing sucked, but in the sense that they’d be really blunt about not liking one of the background pairings or not caring about a plot element or hating a character that the author was presenting in a positive/neutral way.

#I didn’t get a lot of negative reviews back then #what I did get was a lot of cheerfully toxic attitudes re: masculinity #like. okay. do I seem like the audience for you calling the character I’m writing about a pussy #is that my vibe. as a person. #also one person told me that the male character I was writing about #looked too much like a girl for a gay man to be interested in #gross for various reasons but also I don’t believe that pretty men are universally shunned amongst mlm #but mostly this comes from my rereading a glee fic I enjoyed back in the day #and one of the commenters kept going #I don’t care about the competitions or set lists! #fics in this fandom focus too much on that! #(this is the funniest critique of glee fandom I’ve ever seen) #(caring too much about the mechanics of show choir) #they were also big mad that Klaine was a background pairing instead of Kurtofsky #even though the author was clearly just going with who Kurt was with at that point in time #they did like the fic overall too they just had Kurt feelings #anyway! fascinating peek into the past

Fandom is so tiring sometimes. Like girl(gn) not everything you dislike has to be for some moral reason! And you trying to justify disliking/liking something harmless by basing it in morality is not good for your or anyones mental health. Please stop doing that. It gives reason for my intrusive thoughts to say I’m bad for disagreeing with you even if I know logically your point is fucking stupid. Like it’s FANDOM, it’s not that serious. Chill out. A person is not morally wrong for not having the same favorite book in a series as you.

#not saying you can’t criticize or be fandom critical btw #feel free to do that- hell I DO THAT #But going ‘everyone who likes harmless thing is actively evil and horrible’ is not it #ESPECIALLY OF ITS JUST TO JUSTIFY SHIPPING #GOD I am fucking sick of fighting over ships #who cares!!! I’m not even a shipper but it’s annoying #like ok those characters have a cool dynamic and might be cool in a relationship! neat! #and one of those characters also have a cool dynamic with another character romantically! cool! #why do you have to fight #just ignore what you don’t like #and I especially hate it when they kind of have a point about something #but then they follow up that vaild point with something insane #like ‘this POC Character is often mischaracterized’ is a vaild take #‘Every person who likes this interracial ship I dislike is actively contributing to racism’ is NOT #It was spiderverse Miles and Gwen btw #just have fun #its fucking fandom #chill out it’s not some big moral quandary

#all you have to create is something about skinny white men in love and everyone will care about you and them #anything else is just nothing to you ppl lol #what’s the point of trying to be an artist I swear I just wanna give up coz I can’t create enough finished art in general #WHY CANT I DRAW LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS A KID. it felt so easy and now I’m scared to do it for no reason ugh!! #i wish I was interested in the same things as everyone else coz at least then the quality wouldn’t matter and people would care anyway #sorry I know this comes across as really childish and mean and yeh it is I’m just venting #coz sometimes I look at certain popular profiles and stuff and it makes me ache coz I’ll never be a part of the big club where you can feel #love and I’ll never be able to coz I’m just a robot thing with no humanity!!! #even the LITERAL ROBOT is still reduced in the fandom to being shipped like just fuck off all of you #one of my bigger recent passion Roberts is a story and even when I have some motivation and energy I just remember that literally not a sing #single person on earth has any reason to care about it and why should they! so I just feel like crawling into a hole and sulking like a piss #pissbaby which is what I’m doing lol #just because it’s not about young skinny men and the ‘purity/beauty/divinity/superiority of romantic love </3’ and #and YUMMY SQUISHY ORGANIC RED PASSIONATE things because illl never be a part of all of that anyway #I’m not amazing I don’t have the inherent drama and meaningfulness of romantic love in me as a potential so I’m basically nothing #my life means nothing because i can’t feel the one thing that matters #-(one thing that matters according to the world and like all communities and societies and any place to feel like you’re a part of somethin #) #and if your broken (empty of romantic love) like me you’re told to go play by yourself in the corner and not complain that #everyone else gets to be in the group #‘just do your own thing it doesn’t matter what society thinks’ is well meaning and <3 but for me I just hear ‘don’t be a part of us’ #what if I want to be a part of something? what if I want society to know and understand me?

[starlooove]

It just gets so frustrating lmao as a Batman fan if you wanna ignore racism and talks about racism and how ur behavior might just be a tad bit influenced by racial bias you can literally go everywhere else. Why are u going on the racism post and explaining how what u do specifically isnt racist. Like either ur wrong and lying or stupid or ur right and shouldn’t be here in the first place.

#and It’s like #Im so tired of ppl going ‘TOTALLY NOT ME THO?’ #on a post and getting offended when people think maybe it might be them a little bit #hit dogs holler and all that #but idk I’ve never gone on a post saying stop being racist and posted ‘I’m not racist and I’m so mad ur implying I am bc of XYZ’ #anywayyyys #if I were a tad bit more toxic I’d scroll through their Batman if they have one tag and see whether they really pay attention to poc or not #but i won’t bc I’ve changed #but also whether they do or don’t doesn’t even matter cause the issue is stretching the convo to apply to you when it didn’t and then #getting upset about how people think it applies to you personally #which nobody thought it did till you acted like this #and it even isn’t that big of a deal I’m just baffled bc convos on bafan racism are just. not that big #like i said earlier anywhere else to #have ur lil league tim Jason Al ghul black but can’t say nigga Jason tim is so pure and better than the mean brown kid hcs #like the issue is that fandom is extremely racist #u can go go everywhere else in fandom to ignore the convo bc of how racist it is #easy

2023 is apparently the year of me revisiting fandoms and pairings which I know have very, very little content outside of the source work. That’s right y’all, I’m ready to be hurt again.

#my personal fandom renaissance #started relistening to the black tapes #again #now I’m here on tumblr scrolling the tag #also once again #watch I’ll probably pull up the ao3 tag in a day or so #probably somehow mosey on back to king falls am #the two podcasts that ruined me #I don’t even want to talk about eos10 either #here we go again #oh I also got back into a rare pair of a fandom I left a couple years ago #there’s maybe 100 new fics and only 1/3 of them center on the rare pair and not the big fandom pairing #*stares wistfully in the distance*

[corrodedcoughin]

Hey, nice to see you’re back <3

You might have already seen but there’s a steddie big bang opening sign ups soon

Do you think you’re gonna participate?

Hello! How’s it going? Yeah v sorry I’m going to be dipping in and out, works a bit rough atm but thank you for even noticing that I’m here! I mean that sincerely, thought I’d disappear and would go unnoticed so you, willingly or not, made my day better, thank you xx

I saw a post this morning and I would dearly love to join in but I don’t think I could write 10k if I tried. Let alone come up with an idea good enough to fill 10k and not be a disjointed mess. Honestly though I’d love to join, the community aspect of it sounds so good and I really do want to write but I’ve as dry as a bone. And I’d hate to put an artist through the pain of trying to glean something from such a shambles.

Are you thinking of joining? Have you don’t a big bang before/do you write? Inquiring minds (me) want to know!

#ask #hope you had a good day anon you are a very nice person for even asking #I really would love to do the Big Bang #I just don’t know how to write or come up with ideas that aren’t shit posts #or could reach a substantial amount of words #I so so wish I could #anyone that writes is incredible I am in awe #and creates art or edits in gifs or videos or provides commentary #or just continues and is involved in fandom even if through promotion #idk everything is sore physically and mentally and I’m feeling sappy instead of shouty #sorry for the ramble anon hope you sign up to the Big Bang if you want to!

every day I remember that this fandom simply does not care about autistic people and, much like every other fucking thing I experience as an autistic person, the concept of it being a collective found family becomes increasingly alien to me. love this place.

#we really just can’t win I fucking hate it here #like this is my special interest. this is my community. I’ve met so many people through it that ended up becoming lifelong friends #I’ve been here for almost ten years and it’s meant everything to me for ten years. it’s kept me going through so much shit. #it’s more than just a show and more than just a fandom and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever been apart of #and like I didn’t realize I was autistic until like late 2021. I didn’t even realize SPN was my special interest until then either #I didn’t realize JACK was my special interest. but knowing that he is autistic means so much to me #and its meant so much to other autistic ppl in the fandom. somebody at MomentoCon even mentioned it to Alex last weekend for fucks sake . #it’s real and it’s special and it’s important to us but #but no we can’t have that. make him a fucking baby. toss every interesting thing about his character into a fucking volcano #and relegate him to being a fucking prop for everybody else. #I don’t know how else to tell you this but you are literally infantilizing an autistic person. you are being ableist. intentionally or not. #and the way you all seem to just. idk. double down on your own ableism? or excuse it? #or literally ignore autistic ppl who try to point out how ableist and weird your behavior towards an autistic character is? #it’s a lot of things. it’s so many terrible things and terrible feelings. but above all it’s disheartening. #it hurts to know that even in this space where everyone is family and everyone belongs. I’m still on the outside looking in. #I’m still not /really/ a part of everything else. it’s a horrible feeling and I don’t wish anyone to ever go through with it #but maybe you fucking should. maybe then you’d realize what you’re doing. or maybe you won’t. maybe I’m screaming into the void again. #which I literally always am w this topic anyways. nothing but screaming into a vast empty void that’s supposed to be my big special family #but whatever I guess. #spn #supernatural #spn fandom #spn family #spn famdom #jack kline #autistic jack kline #tfw2.0 #destiel #sam and dean #castiel

once upon a time i liked a ship for what it was and then i saw how the fandom treated it and now i have visceral hatred towards it (harsh but not far off)

#leah.txt #normal i swear #it’s like i’m just so tired of seeing it and i think it’s cause a lot of the time people mischaracterise the characters involved so often #when talking about it and i hate it. i’m being vague cause don’t want it showing up anywhere. but like in canon the concept is so good and #so juicy even though i am not really a fan of like enemies/lovers kinda tropes. slash cause it’s more lovers to enemies but were always #technically enemies but real bonds formed on accident and that always runs deep even after the fact etc etc it’s such a good ship in concep #and then you see the fandom and go ah you’ve made it insufferable to me now. it gets reduced to just like the most i mean fandomy shit #it happens so often with me now that it’s like i need to not look at tags ever actually akdjsjsksns #so so vague but the concept of falling in love and fraternising when you shouldn’t and so many elements of you are going to betray this #person when the time comes but you can’t help falling for them and the other side being i shouldn’t be falling for this guy he’s my #superior officer but it’s like no he’s actually not and he’s a mole and he’s going to kill you all off. and then running for him when he #gets injured. that’s so. even after he tells you that you what his plans were. still caring. but like. out of anger and hurt you bruised hi #ego and insulted him and that starts big revenge run of like someone who can’t take criticism or being made to feel lesser… but you have to #hunt him down even if you still hold feelings for him he is everything you stood against and were fighting and now you’re fighting him when #you loved him. irl you know i hate this shit and betrayal and lying and all that you know this i’m just talking in fiction it’s got so many #layers. having to kill the man you once loved because he became everything he was against and he developed delusions and lost his mind. IT #HURTS. then you look at the fandom and it’s like teehee they’re just soooo gay gay homosexual and it’s like. this ship has layers. it’s lik #an onion. but okay. and it’s always just like i mean the gross people come out with the really gross fics with it but like omg it’s such a #good ship in concept with lovers becoming enemies when they shouldn’t have been lovers in the first place because it was a sort of forbidde #setting. the captain and his subordinate. captain who is actually a mole and going to betray these people who he has unintentionally formed #some bonds with. actually learning they are on opposing ends. the man they saw as fair and just and cool is a liar a manipulator a scheming #bastard who is only doing things out of self interest BUT HE GOT FEELINGS. it’s so arghghhhggggg and that’s why the criticism hits deeper #cause it’s someone he cared about and it’s so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #like there’s a reason it’s the most popular ship because i mean they are literally each others narrative foil lmaooo but like the fandom #just somehow makes it weird a lot and i’m 🧍🏼 why guys why #and what i mean by gross people and gross fics is what a lot of people do to villains doing to others even when they aren’t like that. you #guys are just nasty and gross and need to not share things like that <3 #i feel like it's a lot of just fetishising two men being together rather than focusing on their dynamics and characters
