I know we don't talk and there's stuff we may not agree with. But I am truly sorry you've dealt with a lot of drama over fictional crap. And I'm sorry if my posts in the past ever contributed to that. Hope you have a better day.
Hey... That's all fine, don't worry! After all, it takes a lot of time and Insight to realise that Gehrman is a very gentle and respectful man and Godrick is an absolute gigachad kdkdkshdffhhgfds /lh /lh
But yeah, on a serious note. It was quite frustrating to find out the real motivation under all that... mess was something so pathetic, but at the same time this is what happens when people make engagement with media and fandoms a moral, political act. Not necessarily a problem, after all, I was the one who concluded that the way a fan judges fictional characters and other fans will very well reveal how cruel they are to real people who do something bad, or how much they will forgive based on personal sympathies. And my mad ravings about caring about female characters! I think the problem comes when a fan is so insecure that they have nothing else besides this defence of ideals through fandomry. If your only way to assert yourself is to be a good guy punishing the bad guys, and that mad raving loredigger discovers there is NO bad guy, what is left of you?
This is why it is crucial to have passion for nurturing rather than for undermining! I think if you speak like this, you've found this truth too? This is true that I don't know you very much (mutual-in-law thing), but to be honest.. you didn't poison my fandom experience at all? I tend to never be aware about discourse until someone basically calls me for help fhdhgsdgdfs Can't scout the fandom tag regularly!
But not only it actually was a quite long ago I saw a "negative" post from you, but also I've seen through the posts that my friends liked or reblogged from you that you've actually became very eager person to defend people's passion and interests! I think the post that particularly got stuck with me was when you resented seeing someone's light die after some Redditor asshole "well aktualy"'d a thing they were excited about creating (not exact wording but maybe you remember too)? Like... you are fine, man. At that point I realised that you were a good fan and in the end valued people's creativity and passion over personal preferences. That you never wanted to be THAT guy, even if your interpretation could not be further from someone else's. Coming to terms with what actually matters in fandomry is very mature and I am happy to see this attitude!
I am still glad that you messaged me about this though; I did not expect this, but thank you! I think I will continue getting involved in fictional discourse because my autistic senses cannot ignore factually incorrect takes with a clear insidious motive, and.. eh, sooner or later, I'll piss off the wrong guy again. Don't feel bad for me when it inevitably happens :p I've accepted the shortcomings when I decided to be the debate guy. Simply laughing at some gremlin starting a discourse with the girls in DMs and not stressing over it is only funny until I realise that newer fans could get misinformed right off the bat.

Not sure if anyone has posted about this but I was thinking… You know how Yaz has those Y and Z initial necklaces?
What if in the centenary special Yaz gives them to Thirteen, It could be both necklaces or just the Y. Or maybe Thirteen ends up with them somehow and after Thirteen regenerates Fourteen decides to wear them.

Thank you to everyone who sent me Birthday wishes ❤️ I've had more of you wish me a Happy Birthday than I have my irl friends. These past three years have been extremely tough on me, I've dealt with many different losses of deaths and very close friendships along with my dreams getting absolutely crushed, though they are still salvageable it will take time for me to get my motivation to start to rebuild them. I had been dreading my Birthday this year and while it's still not exactly what I was hoping for, you guys made it just a bit more special 💖 (and sorry for the late replies to my birthday wishes, it's been -40°F and I've just been lazy and cozied up inside)

YESSS!! I’m so glad you’re mentioning Renee Raps tattoo. Heard it forever ago and TikTok and instantly reminded me of Quinntana
I'm going insane over this song being a Quinntana one mostly because I've been so dumb all this time lol
Allow me present to you a timeline:
June 3 - Reneé Rapp releases Tattoos on Spotify
June 13 - The song is added to my Discover Weekly. I like it very much
The same day, I add it to my back then very short Quinntana playlist
Some months pass. I listen to this playlist often and sing along to Tattoos, one of my favourite Quinntana songs.
September 15 - I keep going on about said playlist so I'm asked to share a few songs form it. Tattoos makes the cut.
October 28 - I finally start watching The Sex Lives of College Girls
October 30/November 1 - I compare Leighton, played by Reneé Rapp, to both Quinn and Santana
November 25 - realization strikes as a series of events lead me to discoveries
So yes, this Reneé Rapp song reminds me of Quinntana. And I'm being super normal about finally connecting those dots after MONTHS lol
