The belief of "if you like [insert ship] then you dont understand the characters" is baffling to me.
Because that's not what shipping is about.
I don't want to see these characters making out on screen, I don't want them to be made canon, I have no interest in the main story being changed just for a relationship to work. What I DO want to see is the what-if scenarios of how these people would end up together.
That's what shipping is, the what-ifs, the possibilities, the understanding that of course this is never gonna happen but what would it take for them to cross the line? What needs to happen to make him say that, y'know?
You can understand a character perfectly, can know them more than you're own brain and have never once strayed from their canon and still find the possible dynamic of them and a character interesting.
You can still imagine scenarios of 'what if he said this instead?' 'what if this went differently?' 'what would it take for them to mesh just right?' and you can do it ENTIRELY in character.
People explore ships and enjoy ships because they are a way to mess with different dynamics and ideas, not because it's what they want to see on screen, and not because they think it makes complete or perfect sense. They simply find the dynamic and 'what if they kissed' ideas enticing. That's all it is.
Fandom is for having fun, it's for relaxing and playing with digital dolls and writing fanfiction about if the dolls had trauma, and this weird elitism of 'well you don't get them like I do so therefore YOUR interpretation is wrong' is just. . . mean?
Trust me, I get not liking certain ships or HCs, I do that all the time but I also know that I don't live in that person's head. I don't know the dynamic they see, doesn't matter if they're 'in-character' or not. There are plenty of ships I have seen and haven't liked at first but then after seeing a person's AU or fic, I change my mind based on that interpretation.
Making the claim that 'you don't really understand these characters or the story' based on someone having fun with the source material is so strange to me. Not everything has to be serious 100% of the time. People will see things differently than you, and saying that they're 'fake fans' or 'don't get it' because of that feels so silly to me.
No one is lesser of a fan because they ship something.
I am so sorry for such a long post, I am just very passionate about this subject.
TLDR; people are still on their 'real fans vs fake fans' trip and I'm tired of it.
#borderlands#handsome jack#rhack#rhys strongfork#fandom#i have so much more i could say i have so many examples of this in other fandoms and so many thoughts#but this is already too long#so you're getting the bare bones argument#it just reminds of the whole 'mary sue' 'if u have an alicorn oc ur a fake fan' type shit from early fandom#and im tired of it#there is so right or wrong way to interpret or play with fandom- leave people alone#dont even get me STARTED when it comes to self-inserts and ocs people are terrible when it comes to that#also this post is not an attack on anyone please do not see it that way i am simply tossing in my two cents on the matter

I'm frustrating myself because I know the only way I am going to meet new people and open myself up to romantic possibilities is by getting out of my comfort zone and going to new public spaces and interacting with new people, but I'm so entrenched in my own routine that the idea of going out and doing those things is so incredibly stressful and I sort of shut down
And it's particularly frustrating because I know the only reason I'm so averse to it is because I haven't done it before, and new experiences are really scary, and I will put them off for years just to do it eventually and realize its NOT a big deal in the SLIGHTEST, and that it's fine, actually, and that I LIKE doing the thing, and there was no reason for me to be so stressed in the first place etc. etc. etc.
So I just need to go on my first real date, and I need to suck it up, but it's really daunting and frustrating and I can't seem to figure out how to get out of my doom spiral about it.
#im almost 24 and ive never gone on a date or had a real kiss like#this is terrible#and im tired of it#but im also so hopeless at getting out of my routine#so i just sit here and beat myself up about it#its nobodys fault but my own but god its hard

So......wheres all this "sexualizing EMH actors" posts everyones raving about?? Ive seen a LOT of posts calling ppl out for it, but not a single post DOING it. What the fuck are yall talkin about
Also, why the fuck are ppl saying evan has said ppl sexualizing the characters makes him uncomfortable? Are yall dumb? Where are yall gettin this shit? Can yall for real just chill tf out and stop starting weird drama where there is legit nothing going on?
Ill concede if yall can show me some evidence of this "sexualization of the actors" that is apparently so heinously rampant everywhere you go, but as far as i can see theres nothing at all and it looks like yall wanna complain about something that looks legit so you can feel valid. Im too old to hear the whining, just quit. Please. Id like to see fanart of Habit when i go in the emh tag, not a bunch of wolf crying and massive word posts cuz yall are bored and desperate for attention.
#everymanhybrid#what im seeing#is a group of mutuals making copy paste posts so far#and not a lotta evidence#i feel like u guys are legit just tryna start drama#fr if you can give me proof ill retract my statement but yall sound like ur crying wolf again#and im tired of it

decided I'm moving into 2024 by speaking my mind even if I stir the already boiling pot.
I'm tired of my nephews asshole of a father saying and doing as he pleases.
I'm tired of remaining quiet out of fear he'll take the boys from me entirely.
he wants to cause chaos? well chaos he's about to get 🫶🏻
#personal#as if losing my sister wasnt enough#this man has gone to every length imaginable to make sure we suffer#and im tired of it

Why is atla trending lol did something happen (<- is pretending to live in a world where live action atla adaptations dont exist)
#i am not looking#we didnt need that and i dont want it#the obsession with live action remakes is predicated on 1) studios wanting easy money#and 2) the idea that animation is an inferior medium that needs to be improved upon#and im TIRED of it#anyways lmao#reviews seem very very mixed so happy for those of u who like it! rip to those of u who don't!#bel speaks

men suck so bad and i do not think they know that. like i dont think they have a clue how much like four little things are actually huge big things and it causes girls (me) to have to blog on tumblr.com on their dying eighth grade laptop bc she (me) said something so cringe and pathetic to try to smuggle out even a hint of affection or care that she cannot physically use her (me) phone because she (me) is terrified of what he will respond, or better yet! not respond to at all. i am twenty years old and in a matter of hours i am reduced to my fifteen year old self who just wanted the hot guy to call her pretty and endured three years of torture for it
#and everything with this dude had been going great#like a whole year of on and off talking#and then we sleep together out the blue#and it all goes to shit#and now im crying in my bed#at the big age of twenty#over a boy#ive met once#and im tired of it#and i just want im to like me#and i want evryone to like me#and no one does!!!#at least enough to mean it#mine#ignore i guess sorry dump

porn anthologies have too much pnv. in every book i read visually half of the sex appears heteronormative too often. (not saying it actually is that but visuals are important to me.)
I want dolls smooching dolls. i want tgirls being eaten out by a masculine person.
I want trans mascs macking on trans mascs. I simply want a trans masc to top someone who isnt a femme.
I want queers of any kind playing dominant and having penetration-less sex.
I want s/d dynamics with a gay trans couple without using a dick.
give me straight doll. give me a cishet man with a trans gf.
I want a hetero trans couple.
cmon be more creative.

perhaps nothing better represents the feelings of isolation I’ve been experiencing lately while trying to stay connected or make new connections with people online than logging onto tumblr to find a notification for a new message, feeling approximately 3 seconds of joy and excitement before I open the message and it turns out to be from a pornbot
#that post that’s like ‘I can’t write a poem about this it’s already a poem you get it’#except it’s this and it’s me going ‘I can’t write a joke or a critique of this the situation clowns itself’#like….. man I am so tired of this current iteration of the internet#I try to post my photography to insta and it reaches maybe like 10 people who already have me on a close friends list#doesn’t matter what I hashtag it with those are the only people who will see it#Instagram immediately jumps to tell me I should make my content into a reel! or have I considered putting music over a random photo#Just so I can jumpscare everyone if they happen to click the photo#If I really want eyes on it I’ve got to repost it to stories and then it will only get interaction if people click through which they wont#you post stuff here and nobody likes or reblogs anything anyway#as the site becomes more and more unusable to a bigger percentage of people#but don’t worry you will have to block three people name sugar-baby-moon34 per day#all this technology at our disposal and all we’ve done with it is make it so we feel constantly surveilled and judged#without ever really feeling more connected to one another#AND IM TIRED OF IT

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:
#climate change#im TIRED#and i’m saying this as someone who also lives in the US.#im glad that none of you have to worry about your family and friends in other countries dying because of the heat#but this idea that “oh we have to stop it before we reach the extreme” is SO STUPID#because it’s already reached the extreme in some places!!#people are dying in south asia. people are dying in southeast asia. people are dying in africa. people are dying in central america.#people are dying in south america. people are dying in island nations.#what will it take you to care about these people#or will you not care until it’s people who look like you who are dying.
