Pregnancy as a kink makes me uncomfortable so man am I glad your pregg Flug stuff is explicitly not kink oriented!

yeah I... don't wanna judge anyone... but it's more than that, it's downright terrifying to me. Blame my hormones bc I'm expecting irl but wow... I'm very sensitive and it feels dehumanizing. but ig that is kinda the point of the kink(?)

it's so common in fandoms!

I'm completely vanilla anyway tho, so not surprising.

I've tried to pretend for a super long time that I'm into kink, but most of them are off putting and I consider them intrusive thoughts, not fantasies. I'm kinda fluctuating between sex-repulsed and neutral (aroace) even fictional... ig kink just isn't for me. I tried so hard to get over it. I know some people in my asks/requests are gonna be disappointed but I'm sorry💔

I'm slightly ashamed of how boring I am and I have serious trouble connecting to anyone in fandoms due to this actually🤕 feel like the most NT autistic person ever.

anyway here's a doodle!

Okay but why is it that Mystic Flour/Dark Cacao and Burning Spice/Golden Cheese are relatively small ships, with not a lot of people liking them

But then you have Shadow Milk/Pure Vanilla, which has a bunch of traction and fans by comparison

I’m going to assume the reason has to do with Shadow Milk not yet doing as much damage to PV like what the other two did to their Ancients? Though Shadow Milk did still commit crimes and evil, I just don’t remember the specifics since that was like, January. Outside of mind controlling the Faeries and probably getting a number of them killed, trying to mentally manipulate Pure Vanilla into cutting down the tree (or something, I don’t entirely remember what else), trying to kill Pure Vanilla and three children by the end, and being the one who caused the first major character permadeath in CRK history. And we haven’t even gotten to his story yet, that was just his intro. But he’s silly, so he gets a pass I guess?

I don’t know, I personally don’t get why shadowvanilla has so many fans by comparison to the other Beast/Ancient ships

"our grandpa made a respectful gay joke? i didn't know he knew how to do that!" -me when my grandpa makes a respectful gay joke

and the joke, for those of you who might be curious: "Someone told me my jacket looked gay, and so i told them "it just came out of the closet!""

Flashback to after this emo night party and this guy was waiting for the train with me, and I stretched and my back crunched (as it does) and THIS GUY - BREATHLESS - goes “that was actually pretty sexy”

IM SCREAMING

[doodlingwren]

Every now and then I always find myself wondering. What if I made a Saint Seiya fan character. And I always end up realizing I don't really want to bother. I'll keep drawing my usual bunch of idiots that already exist in the franchise and bye bye

Fandom ask #15! Go! >83

15. Fandom I find annoying

...

...........

..............................

I think all fandoms have an annoying side. And even the fandoms that are labeled "toxic" have their good sides.

At some point it's just a matter of curating one's own experience, I guess. You gotta steer away from the parts of the fandom you don't like and stick to the ones you like. I've rarely disliked my fandom experiences because I just don't stay in the sides of fandoms I find annoying.

Thank you for asking and sorry for the weird answer x)

Get up????? Go to the gym??????

But I want to WALLOW is false Misery!

I am an hour past me alarm, 30min past the time I should have left for the gym. My bag is packed, everything is ready, if I cut my workout 15min short it would work.

Or, I can make breakfast, calm down, and go to work... I would prefer the gym.

one thing i really deeply wish is that i'd had access as a kid to the plural community and information that are more easily available today, instead of my first experience with plural community which both took it seriously and was nonjudgmental having been 10's era tul/pa.info lmao

Things are getting controversial in the headspace-

[katyspersonal]

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.

People commenting stuff like “This was so disturbing I had to skip through some of it 😬😬😬 good job tho” on my fics crack me up. My dudes it’s labeled ‘dead dove’ and has a mile long trigger tag list for a reason 😅

taylor idk who chappell roan is i think that makes me disqualified from being queer forever (←sapphic girl)

She's a musical artist! She's pretty up-and-coming right now and is seen as a wlw queer icon in the music industry, but I've never been able to get into her music even though tons of other sapphics love it. I probably just haven't given it enough of a chance. Casual is a good song though!

I had a somewhat healing session with my therapist earlier 😍 it'll last about 10 hours before my mindset goes into the gutters but
