He found huge bugs

I've been seeing a lot of posts about piracy lately and in light of this i do need to say something because I've been seeing a lot of misinformation.

anti-viruses, vpns, ad-blockers- none of these are going to help you here.

the first thing you're going to need is a good solid boat (preferably oak wood). you will also want some cannons and a plank depending on the sort of shenanigans you plan on getting into.

Also! Not once have i seen any of you talking about the importance of citrus fruits and vitamin C. antivirus doesn't prevent scurvy. come on you should know this by now.

this sort of misinformation is wildly dangerous and irresponsible.

you’re as much of a fan of your comfort show / movie / blorbo as any other fan, even if you don’t have a “big and popular account” or if you’ve never written a fic or made a fan art about the fandom you’re in.

you’re as much of a fan of your comfort show / movie / blorbo as any other fan, even if you don’t talk about said comfort show / movie / blorbo online or to anybody and just quietly take comfort from them in private.

don’t let today’s popularity contest make you feel less valid than other people in the fandom. because fandom is never about “popularity” or “going viral”. it’s about the comfort and joy you get from enjoying what brings you comfort and joy.

the idea that “you’re disrespecting the creators of your favorite characters if you—quote unquote—mischaracterize these characters in your fics or if you reduce them to horny sluts just for ship and smut” is so funny to me because

1. some canon creators made it explicitly clear that they can’t read fanfics people wrote about the characters they created, because, according to their own words, if they ever accidentally or subconsciously used anything from people’s fanfics in the source material of their works, then there might be a risk of them getting sued (yes, the characters are theirs and fans cannot monetize any works that have their characters in them, but fanfics—aka something fans created—belong to those fans, so if canon creators ended up making money off of those fanfics, then they could get into legal battles too).

2. fans don’t write fanfics to “honor or please” canon creators. there are other ways for them to do that if they want to. but fanfics have never been about “honoring or pleasing” canon creators. fanfics aren’t even about respecting canon creators or canon events, and I say this with respect. (what do you think tags like “alternate universe - canon divergence”, “fix-it”, “crack”, “porn without plot” on archive of our own stand for?)

fanfics are like this; imagine yourself as a raccoon and you see this delicious food people left on their porch for you. you look at it and think hmmm yummy. so you grab that food and then you run away with it to enjoy it in some comfort corner. you may choose to enjoy the food alone, or you may choose to share that food with your friends (but you cannot sell that food, because it’s originally someone else’s and you’re just eating/having fun with it). you may choose to dip that food in some spicy sauces that may or may not be suitable for that food and how it’s originally intended to be eaten. but hey! who cares if it’s suitable or not. if you like it then that’s all that matters.

3. canon—when it comes to fanfics—are not rules. as @allthingswhumpyandangsty has said before, canon are only suggestions. whether or not a fanfic writer will follow these suggestions is entirely up to them. because they write for fun. and it’s okay if they want to say “you know what? fuck canon”.

4. the concept of “mischaracterizing a character” overall is, in my personal opinion, not valid. because movies, books, tv shows, etc. are mainly about the interpretation of each viewer. you can interpret this character this way. other people can also interpret the same character differently. and there’s no “right or wrong” way to interpret a character when they’re all fiction and fantasies.

“you can write whatever you want, but people are free to find you weird, childish or disgusting” okay? I’ve never seen any writer say “you cannot find me weird, childish or disgusting🤬” because humans are gonna have thoughts and opinions about anything and everything, no matter how subconsciously those thoughts are.

I personally don’t believe art (be it fanfics or fan art) reflect artists’ moral compass or who they are in real life, but just like any other humans, I do have thoughts and I do find some things weird, childish or disgusting. instead of voicing my thoughts out loud, though, I choose to mute, block or ignore these things and focus my time and energy on things I like.

and it’s literally not an issue at all if some strangers on the internet, whose existence I don’t know about, find me weird, childish or disgusting. as long as they keep those thoughts to themselves, it’s totally fine. thought crimes are never real. it only becomes an issue when you start harassing people.

fandom is not about trying to police others.

fandom is about fun and knowing how to mute/block things you dislike instead of harassing others (and no, finding someone or something weird, childish or disgusting is not harassment as long as you keep those thoughts to yourself).

overall I love and respect every fanfic writer, no matter if the things they write is my cup of tea or not, because I think it’s beautiful how they love these characters and how they’re so passionate about these characters that they decide to make something for and from these characters. and as long as it makes them happy, they’re doing it right.

*this is a response to a funny ask that made me giggle today. also funny how anon chose not to show their face, because if they really believe they are right then surely there’s no need for them to hide behind anon.

re: this post

there are people out there who genuinely think fanfic writers write “to be canonically accurate and respectful to the canon creators and the multi billion companies that made these characters”?

babe, most fanfic writers write because

they love the characters

they are not normal about the characters

they are passionate about the characters

they are depressed and writing about the characters is their getaway

they are horny

canon compliance is only a choice. but there’s no rule in fanfics. and most fanfic writers are sure as shit not trying to be respectful to the multi billion companies that made the characters, and if you actually believe they are, then maybe you’re just new to fandoms.

How's the investigation, Detective?

Aaaa I'm still not done with the other scene, been on mha brainrot that's why 😭

I like how in Cartman Finds Love, Cartman doesn’t tell Kyle that he’ll stop the rumors if Kyle left Nichole alone but says this:

It’s like he wanted the fake relationship between him and Kyle to last lmao. That could be Cartman being stupid but I just love that he says that like he’s offended that Kyle doesn’t want to be with him lol.

Anyone who can't see or refuses to acknowledge the messy, raw, needy, obsessive, and intensely emotional side of Voldemort/Tom Riddle...just like accepting that he's both Voldemort and Tom Riddle, one full person, not just one side, makes me wonder if they really get the character at all.

Turning him into a cold, shallow highschooler prince, or building a whole new God around his Lord self makes me wonder the same thing.

Imposing this fake, frivolous perfection on a clearly complex character — one who was obviously not meant to be a symbol of that — makes me feel like they're just missing all the texture and the depth potential that actually makes the character all the more compelling.

Silas birchtree is far superior than Bipper and Bord as a bill cipher possession. Silas is already dead, we don’t have to feel bad for the possessed person. Silas is already dead, he smells like rotting flesh which he is. Silas is already dead, Bill influences the decomposition process, turning the skin yellow. Silas is already dead, Bill has to build his portal before the body completes the cycle of decay. He has a little cult. He married every woman in town. He goes on television and reads trapezoid smut. Final scene, Silas rambles about “this not being over” while having bullet wounds all over his body, dehydrated, burning. What a guy

Silas B. with a C.
