For all you who create, at whatever pace, thank you!

For all of you in tiny fandoms, or rarepair hidey holes within larger fandoms, thank you!

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

you don't understand how much this man right here impacts on my mental health both positively and negatively in tandem depending on his mood. writing him is both a blessing and a curse.

for now, let's relish in this gif (that was a video but the app doesn't cooperate with me) because i am absolutely shattered to pieces.

NGL, after seeing RK I know that the fight choreo in One Piece could have been so much more challenging for him and he would have done it super well. But the green hair looks good!

Kenshin’s garden never went untended.

My man is always playing characters with the most bizarre hair and makeup, yet still ATE!
