every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck

I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off

anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received

“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”

14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

a lot of really annoying media discourse on tumblr comes down to people having a hard time accepting that both of the following are true at the same time:

for any work of fiction interesting enough to be worth talking about, there will be multiple equally plausible and valid interpretations that are possible - and by interpretations here i don't just mean headcanons about minor details, i mean how you read the core themes and character arcs. and very often some of those equally valid interpretations will directly contradict each other and that's ok

not EVERY interpretation is valid, some are genuinely just dumb as hell and unsupported by the text

Fandom Problem #6606:

Things people in fandom need to remember:

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you/makes you angry/makes you feel sick, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid the things that you do not like instead of seeking it out to tell people who do like it to stop making it. That does nothing good.

If you hate something, you do not need to tell that to the creators or state it publicly.

Use the back button, it is free to use.

You are allowed to ship whatever you want, but other people are also allowed to ship whatever they want.

While you are entitled to dislike or hate a ship, please be respectful and not put the hate in the tags for that ship.

If you see posts about someone liking a ship that you do not like, you do not need to hop into their DMS/replies and start arguing with them about it. Just ignore them.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove of. If you wouldn't like it happening to you, then they would not like it happening to them.

All the ship stuff also applies to characters.

Be kind and don't be an asshole.

Focus on the things you like instead of actively seeking out content you dislike to bash on the people who do like it.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get attention. People get annoyed by that and some will call you out for it which will just cause more drama, so it is best to just avoid it entirely.

Please remember that your own experiences in a fandom space are not universally shared. The perceptions you have of something differ from person to person, but it does not necessarily mean either of you are wrong.
