#I love our fandom so much

Guys bbc merlin is trending. And we’ve made it trend only because the official Merlin twitter changed the bio and tweeted for the first time in ten years. The power of this fandom is unmatched. We feed on literal crumbs and go feral whenever we get the slimmest shred of hope. Now can you imagine if the show actually came back??? Like. Imagine getting to see Arthur and Merlin reunite. The collective madness such an event would unleash. We’d break tumblr for real wouldn’t we.

if i see one more person saying that annabeth’s character is “ruined” because leah’s not blonde, i’m actually going to go insane. if you think that annabeth’s motives and character are entirely defined by her hair color, you did not understand the books. her character goes so much further than her appearance. “but leah doesn’t uphold the dumb blonde stereotype” leah being annabeth ENHANCES annabeth’s character arc by covering racism as well.

every single character in the riordanverse has been outcasted and turned away. this includes annabeth. you think that leah’s annabeth, a black girl in the early 2000s, is an exception to this? fuck, even in the episode with the chimera, it’s noticeable. now i dont know if this was intentional, but someone mentioned that the police officer had no problem with walker/percy’s blatant disrespect, but the SECOND leah very normally asks, “are we under arrest?” he accuses her of having a disrespectful tone.

annabeth’s intelligence is in no way related to her hair color. leah portrays annabeth beautifully and i couldn’t ask for anyone better.

“buffy ended the show single :)” ok but only because her current love interest just DIED!! (he near quite literally died in her arms! in sacrifice for her!) her last words of the entire series were telling him she loves him and then saying his name in admiration. she isn’t single; she’s a widow.

I love this gay ass show with its literally life ending injuries that heal immediately, but only when convenient to the plot, and its ridiculous use of modern phrases, and its laughing in the face of historical accuracy, and its kissing the face of the fans instead of trying to outwit them, and the way everyone involved in the show seem to go 'I KNOW RIGHT! I'M EXCITED TOO!' instead of mocking the fans

this is an appreciation post for annabeth chase

the girl who held the sky, played a large part in ending the war against Kronos, single handedly retrieved the athena parthenos while unapologetically giving sass to minor and not so minor gods

thank you for teaching us that we aren’t invisible

that we’re loved

and brave and strong

and wise

and worthy of happiness

your impact will never be forgotten

i know i'm not the first to say this, but the acolyte's cancellation has confirmed how tired i am of disney's decision-making when it comes to their content. i know nostalgia is the easiest way to a big payout, but we can only take so many spinoffs before the universe starts to feel too small. but then fresh content—content that's building on the canon by looking to old star wars lore while asking new questions—fizzles out.

it's the sequel trilogy all over again. we're promised something new, something that actually expands the canon rather than just recycling it, even bringing in concepts from legends, and then the rug is ripped out from underneath us & we're punished for ever caring about any of it. silly babygirl! palpatine was always the big bad (don't worry about the fact that this is thematically nonsense and not foreshadowed in any way), and rey isn't a nobody ("your parents sold you because they loved you"), and this isn't a story about how the force transcends human categories and dynasties (represented by a grey jedi force dyad between a legacy skywalker and a nobody orphan from a backwater planet, fulfilling not only balance between light and dark but also transcending the old to become something new). silly idiot!!! rey's a palpatine by birth and a skywalker by self-adoption and god forbid she create her own identity outside of these names our fans recognize. watch as she stands alone on a sand planet that has no personal significance to her, ending her arc almost exactly as she began. but look!! two suns! neat

i don't even know if fanservice is the right word. at a certain point, it just starts to feel like they're quaking in their boots at the thought of doing anything new. i had my gripes with some of the choices in the acolyte, but at least it was unique. it explored a new era and asked questions that star wars has only ever flirted with. like: what happens to the children who are uprooted from their homes at such a young age, yet can't find their place in the jedi order? how does one survive in a supposedly honorable system that nevertheless relies on the repression of some of humanity's most fundamental emotions? is it possible that an organization dictating exactly how one ought to interact with the very life force of the universe... could perhaps be faulty and shortsighted? what happens when the ways of that order clash with other cultures and worldviews? (spoilers: space colonialism). and that's not even to mention the ideas they play with re: the force itself (vergences! plagueis! force witches!)

i know not everyone loved the show, but a lot of people really did care about it. a lot of people, like me, were excited to see these new questions being raised. but forget it—the disney gods have decreed that it didn't hit some magical threshold of streaming hours or reach a "broad enough" audience in the two months it's been out. but don't worry guys. turn your brains off and tune in for the next spinoff 2 chewy 2 bacca

allow me to gush for a second but I love this fandom so so much - the older fans and the new joinees and the casual lurkers - because everyone has absorbed the one essential tenet of the show which is always and forever "yes and"ing any situation, no matter how bizarre. you will always find someone who reads your crackpot theory and screams with you in the tags, you will always find someone ready to clown another day, each day a new person reads your fic and leaves a comment, a new artist finds a new scene to put a spin on and share, every day I see so many incredible lunatics in the tags who are just being happy and stupid and yes and-ing friends they don't know they're forming lasting bonds with, and I love that despite everything - the anger and the heartache and the sadness of it all - open joy and fandom bonds have persisted

Hello OFMD crew! I love you and I'm happy you're here. 💕

[bizarrelittlemew]

[wikitpowers]

basically i believe in @hanelizabeth supremacy 🗣️

[agent-snowflake]

The world is so cruel

But then I think about the support the good omens fandom gets from pretty much everybody on tumblr, the supernatural, our flag means death and heartstopper fans, even the Sherlock fans

I love how everyone is trying to make a third season possible because they wanna give us the happy ending they never had

Neil Gaiman knew what he was doing to us, writing that scene

silly stupid boyfriends of all time btw
