#Complaining and whining and bitching and moaning

Is it controversial to say I'm kind of over pathetic sopping wet cat Timothy? I want more of him being kind of callous and also kind of a dick. like ..no hes not inherently a shitty person (clearly), but he's also a grown ass man with dick and balls who has a lot of (proverbial) blood on his hands .... yes, he's a coward through and through but I am sick of seeing the way he's coddled about it. idk I love him but I am first and foremost intensely autistic about him like to an almost detrimental level. Get real.

It really is strange how Edelstans simultaneously dig hard into people that don't agree with their specific interpretation of 3H to the point of being happy they manage to drive those people away... and be so upset and baffled that people become generally disinterested/actively hostile towards 3H content.

If folks get repeatedly driven out of a fandom, and that group of people repeatedly calls anyone who disagrees with their specific interpretation of 3H stupid/illiterate/"acting in bad faith"/sexist/racist/homophobic/etc., and it is repeatedly done by a group of people who insist that 3H's fandom problem is a "both sides" thing, with all of this being dragged into spaces that have nothing to do with 3H, well... obviously people are then going to start to dislike interacting with either 3H in general or its fandom in particular?

Edelstans are the ones spreading the idea that 3H's fandom in totality is shit. They keep trying to make their hands look cleaner than they are by claiming that everyone else's hands are just dirty as/even dirtier than theirs. Of course people who are unaware of everything are going to then assume that everyone's hands are dirty, thus making people not exactly want to shake hands with anyone.

Like, really now. What did they think was going to happen when they directly go after fanartists/fanfic writers who create/say things that go against the Approved Edelstan Status Quo, to the point that a non-zero amount of these creators just up and leave social media entirely? Or after they nitpick every single Disapproved Post and then lie about the post's OP? Or after it becomes a consistent pattern that people who even remotely disagree with Edelstans' opinions are always, without fail, buried with insulting and harassing anons? Or after they're shown time and time again to defend their worst actors with "well their/our victims deserved it because they said a 3H opinion we didn't agree with"? Or when they say that everyone does this shit in 3H's fandom except for them (which is either not believed because it's demonstrably untrue or is actually believed and now those people think the overwhelming majority of 3H's fandom is filled with shit)? Or when they drag 3H discourse into literally actually everything no matter how unrelated?

That with less fandom creators within the fandom space they'd get more content? That harassing and insulting people and accusing them of being this-and-that bigot is going to magically "correct" their minds into seeing The One Truth about 3H? That people are going to just look over all the shit they did just because they allocate the blame of their action on all of 3H's fandom? That people would like 3H more if they constantly remind people of the inarguable worst thing to come from 3H? That this would help 3H's general perception?

Fuckin' no, of course that's just going to make everyone fuck off from 3H. And would you look at that, a shit ton of people have fucked off from 3H since everything has been swept under a "well it'sth a bolth thides ithue tho what can ya do?" rug. And it's been swept under that rug by pretty much the only people who are pulling this shit, who then get shocked - utterly gobsmacked! - that that made them look bad too. That crying "both sides!" included themselves too and not just the people they've been harassing. That saying that the entire fandom is bad everywhere made the entire fandom look bad everywhere.

If Edelstans are really so upset that no one talks about 3H positively anymore, then maybe they should stop being the reason no one likes 3H anymore. Just a thought

Who still believes Lili??

yeah I don't doubt that she has a movie coming up soon, but I bet it will start filming within MONTHS and will be out within 2 years

we need her to stop lying with that "soon" bullshit that we know isn't true. Before it caused fun, now it causes anger... 🤷🏻‍♀️

So you don’t believe her and her saying ‘soon’ is causing you anger and yet, you’re still here.

Girl you know damn well that no matter how long it takes you’ll still be there so quit the crying and tuck yourself into bed, night night.

well this is hard from a ficwriting perspective because i don't read other people's fic unless it's HEAVILY HEAVILY vetted (because I trust NOBODY but my inner circle at this point/i don't want to risk accidentally lifting an idea) but like. in terms of general characterization I think people forget or just don't know how much of a liar nick really fucking is. oh my god. there's a whole scene in the Princeton draft describing jay and daisy's first kiss and then he goes "actually I made that up. gatsby really just said she reminded him of better days" like? motherfucker? so like I don't think people really understand the depth to which nick really and truly is unreliable.

3. im not trying to hurt any feelings. so I will. generalize. but it's usually when someone goes off on a rant about a Very Obvious Problem in tgg (antisemitism, racism, classism, etc) but then like...their evidence is just Wrong. like they're half remembering something they might be mad about just to get the rush of people agreeing with them. yes this novel is half composed of bullshit nonsense a mentally ill white man in 1925 would come up with. but at least get your goddamn facts straight. gracious. they're right there. read the book again. it's not even 50k words. get a grip.

14. again i don't really read fic because I. obviously. value the canon very much (in terms of how it can be used transformatively) and have. unreasonably high standards. but one thing I just. can FEEL in my bones. i know it's happening. good god. i can just. smell it. is people overusing 'old sport'. I'm. you guys realize that's something jay uses to distance himself with, right? it's like. a way to keep people at arm's length so they don't get too friendly with him and I don't know maybe get concerned and try to stop him? even though . again. according to the Princeton draft. he so desperately wants someone to care enough to stop him. POINT BEING. if nick and jay have explored each other's bodies I don't think jay's still calling him old sport on a regular basis. i can see it for like. Out in Public's sake or as a joke or something but good christ I can just. smell the old sport every two sentences. i know it's happening. it has to be.

Really can't wait to get over this damn cold... I want to BAKE, damn it. I've got a pantry full of amazing ingredients and absolutely no energy to touch any of it. Been an absolutely miserable week. No amount of sleep makes us feel rested. Laying in bed on our front most of the day is giving us acne breakouts on our face and chest. And nobody's been able to front except me for days, because not being able to breathe properly is something that front-triggers me. Hopefully we'll get better soon...

[kyliafanfiction]

It's only been like a week and a half since I had to cut garlic out of my diet (:sob:) and I miss it so much already. So much shit has garlic in it.

It's been months since I could have spicy food and tomato-based products. I miss that too, but that at least makes sense.

assigning me homework is cruel and unusual, actually

And god there is someone who's doing this to some of my fics right now and also friends' fics and PLEASE for the love of everything just vagueblog or bitch to your besties in Discord but keep it the FUCK OUT OF MY COMMENTS SECTION

sometimes people are absolutely WILD about comments, acting like the idea that they shouldn’t be a jerk is a violation of their first amendment rights 

last week i read a fic i HATED. it was well written and highly recommended and i wish i had never read it. hours of my life i will never get back. 

i disagreed with: it’s interpretation on canon, it’s take on mental health, the social contract between loved ones, recovery, trauma, boundaries, and … more tbh

i could NOT stop thinking about how much i disagreed with it. me and this fic have philosophical differences so large i could give a ted talk and i was still super irritated about it days later. 

so you know what i did?

i called up my friends and was like “you guys have no context but i’m going to bitch about this fic you haven’t read in this fandom you haven’t consumed for the next thirty minutes” and they were like “okay sure it’s a tuesday night, we’re in a pandemic, i have nothing better to do”

what did i not do? 

leave a comment on this person’s fic because i’m a human person

Noses are overrated. We need to evolve past the need for one.
