fanfic is so good bc the premise of some genres of fic are just inherently funny. I want these two grizzled crime drama protagonists to have some fucking fun for once, so they go to a water park. I dont care how i have to logic my way into them going there i dont care who has to drag them Theyre Going

#this isnt abt a particular fandom btw just like a general observation #basically: if ur trying to write outside the genre of the media ur in its gonna be so fun for me to read #its like explaining to your friends why kirby should be at the next united nations meeting. youre right and i love you but How

The thing about Wyll is that he Gets It. He knows the story. He knows the kind of man his father is and the kind of man he was supposed to be. He knew what Mizora was when he made the pact. He knew what it meant. And he was just a kid, and his city needed saving, so he did it, and he paid that price, and even knowing all of that he still tried to appeal to his father for understanding and forgiveness.

He sold his soul to do the right thing. And he was cast out. And he knew what character that should have made him.

He knows the story he's in, and every day he chooses who he wants to be instead.

#he gets it!! he fucking gets it!!!! #genre aware yet furiously optimistic king!!!!! #hes literally the peoples princess #“baldurs gate isnt a monarchy” then explain the peoples princess wyll ravengard #bg3 #the Wyll to live tag #anyway sorry for waxing poetic i just remembered i love him #wyll ravengard #im also watching acofaf. he deserves to be in a regency world #hed fucking crush #maybe i should... nay ill pocket that sentiment. for now #he said oh the scarred and scorned hero turned villain? nay i shall fucking not

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

#text #fandom #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #this became extremely obvious with Encanto - where the main message of the movie was ignored #and people were so desperate for shipping they started shipping background characters or even the family members....eugh #like at some point you must understand your inability to interact with media outside of a narrow romantic scope is an actual problem #at some point you need to accept you don't ACTUALLY like the media you're interacting with #like genuinely can you say anything else that you like about a piece of media besides the fact you want two characters to kiss? #genuinely i do believe the way some of you interact with things needs to change because it's made fandom spaces literally unbearable #also it has severely limited some of your guy's critical thinking skills #if you want content based around shipping then look at the romance genre it's literally right there for this very reason #shipping just needs to stop dominating fandom discussions and interactions. shipping should not be the main focus of every genre ever ffs #that or y'all need to literally start tagging your shit so that people can actually block it out and find the posts that they want to see

my favourite genre is women setting fire to their tormentor's homes/buildings and then walking out surrounded by flames

well yuu said watch, not hear

#sorry i really just like u more than malleus that's it; well correct that i like malleus but not when u describe him no #i know general public encourage to go straight into listening and supporting whatever ur partner's hobby or like is #but sometimes u have partner that's into sport or kind of game or film genre u have no interest in at all and i guess it's okay #it's more fun if u both r but yeah not everybody perfectly came from one pod like that; we should be more accepting of the difference #twst #twisted wonderland #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twst mc #fanart #beside this is when friends with same type of interest come to play #go make friends boy

actually i love it when the characters are all lying. i love it when they all have secrets and none of them trust each other. i love being given clues that solve puzzles i haven't even been presented with yet. i also love it when i get chills watching a scene without even knowing what it means, and when i do know what it means, i get even more chills. i love theorizing and thinking and solving and coming up with possibilities of where a story might be going. i love it and i will do it for free, for fun, for no real reason.

this is a mystery appreciation post!! if you appreciate mysteries and secrets and stories that slowly unravel before you, please interact!!!

#mystery >>>> true crime #mystery >>>> horror #i just really love me some mystery and thought that my love of mystery should be a tumblr post #gonna tag some shows and books that i love #1899 #(i just started watching it today w/ my parent. already filling all of my 'good mystery show' requirements) #only murders in the building #all the wrong questions #a series of unfortunate events #yes. snicketverse is valid mystery fiction. get over it. snicketverse fucks. #the nevers #maaan....i miss the nevers. im so sad that it got cancelled it was some gooood shit. #agatha christie #aka the absolute queen of murder mystery. she IS the genre. #hercule poirot #i grew up on hercule poirot. i still love hercule poirot. #books #literature #mystery #murder mystery #appreciation post #genre fiction #fiction #writing #fritz rambles too much

so much ‘analysis’ of fandom and fanfiction still has this pervading air of ‘teehee, can you believe I’m doing a serious analysis of fandom and fanfiction?!’ which sticks it firmly in the zone of merely recounting things which fans do and terms they use (because it’s assumed that the audience isn’t familiar with them) while failing to really provide the ‘analysis’ part

#like surely we should have moved on from Pugh’s 2005 ‘The Democratic Genre’ by now? #and yet I see her conclusions (really just summaries of things fans do) re-discovered regularly #fandom #fanfiction

[horrorlesbians]

if the main selling point of a piece of media is “it has gay people in it!!!” it’s probably not that good

#🦌 #gay characters doesnt equal a good piece of media #and watering down good media to just ‘it has gay people!!!’ is such a disservice #also ‘you should watch blank it has lesbians’ okay what is the genre what is the story what is the plot lesbian is not a genre #it’s an element or aspect of the media

I've seen multiple awesome writers worried that people aren't going to like one of their series because it's "not real whump" or some similar sentiment, so I feel compelled to say this.

Some people prefer physical whump

Some people prefer emotional whump

Some people prefer psychological/mental whump

Some people like recovery arcs

Some people like fluff and comfort after the whump

Some people like whump that focuses more on angst

Some people like plot-heavy whump

Some people like worldbuilding-heavy whump

Also, the more niche a piece of writing is, the more happy the people who enjoy that niche will be to find something that fits it

Basically you can write whatever you want and there will be an audience somewhere who loves it.

#This also applies to other genres than whump btw #write what makes you happy #Worrying about whether what you write fits the status-quo or not will only hold you back from creating something unique #whump #writers on tumblr #whump community #writing #encouragement #whumpblr #writeblr #btw in case it wasn't obvious these aren't the only kinds of whump people like #Just mostly the ones that I've seen people be unsure/less confident about writing for others to read. #ALSO Even if there weren't an audience out there who'd love it you should still be able to feel comfortable writing what you enjoy. #go ham have fun with it
