#I'm still annoyed about the comments

[musicfeedsmysoul12]

Block exists for a reason. I just used it on a couple people screaming about characterizations in the DCXDP fandom.

I know I complain about how people write certain characters and promote others I don’t like (see all my grumpy posts about Iida being made into a horrible person while Bakugou is lifted onto a pedestal) but I dont go around to other people’s posts to hijack them and then make comments about ‘how to write characterication’ and ‘this isn't how it goes’. I make things as vague as I can when complaining and usually I do those posts after frustrating days when I need to complain about petty shit because complaining about my life is just sad and repetitive.

When you directly interact with a post and say things like ‘The characterization is horrible’ or ‘this is trash’ or ‘i don’t like this’of one that happened to me ‘how could you ruin this Plot by doing that’ (and it's not because the takes are 1000% wtf aka they're a terf/Nazi/racist/all of the above) you're ruining the fandom experience for people. Especially in a niche crossover fandom where half the time we are making crack fics.

So: have a life. Block liberally. You dont need a reason why. I block anyone I think I should and others I block because AO3Feed tumblers are annoying. I block tags I dont like and ignore additions to my posts where they try to include things I dont like but dont find horrific. I block commentators on AO3 because they're rude and I'm not dealing with it. I've posted them here when it upsets me but most people do. (also I think shaming these comments hopefully decreases them. They're not edgy or useful or even good, they're assholes)

You're not being rude when you ignore people or block them. You're taking care of your mental health. You're cultivating your fandom experience into the best possible time you can have.

Anyone who feels they have a right to attack others or that they alone know how to write a character can fuck off.

this couldn’t be said any better

Poor Neo- "Wait a Second...."

is it easier to understand why jensen gives neutral / vague statements re: dean's feelings / destiel reunion if it's framed like this:

imagine a work-in-progress series. the first part of the series is over but it left off with some things open-ended to be addressed in the sequel. some character arcs not complete. one of those arcs is dean's reciprocation and future reunion with cas. would you discuss the future plot points to your highly anticipated continuation and potentially spoil things for your audience or ruin a Big Reveal? or would you keep things as vague as possible and instead stick to discussing what already happened (like the confession scene). to discuss their reunion or dean's feelings in definitive statements would be to potentially spoil or word-of-god confirm things that are still to be explored in the future text of the show. misha can make definitive statements about cas's feelings and queerness because cas got that textual moment already. the kind of statements misha gets to make re: destiel are always going to be different from what jensen can say until we see these moments (dean reciprocation / destiel reunion / pale coconuts colliding) in the text. it's just like how when actors are asked abt what will happen in a new season they stay vague. don't spoil your WIP !!

men in instagram comments will be like "is anyone going to take this random content of a woman doing literally anything and make it an opportunity to share my hatred of women" and not wait for an answer

Another day, another barrage of DMs and comments being like:

"Why did you make Uzi black?"

"Since when is Uzi black?! WTF?!" You know....it's sad that I GENUINELY thought ppl would be smart enough to remember that her father's name is Khan and thus put two and two together regarding her origins....

...Ah well.....

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

[angelicgarnet]

weird how you can just say you find something annoying or in poor taste and people online will be like "do you not have any real problems omg wow there are literally people dying"

[the-one-who-lambs]

y'all are so lovely because I've spent nearly my entire life feeling like I'm annoying for being too excited about my interests and trying to bandage them like a bleeding wound because I've learned that even many friends would put up with it until I become Too Much but now I'm surrounded by people who actually love that I pour my whole soul into what I do and suddenly I am no longer as intimidated by my muchness

[countlessofvoids]

The best way of learning if a certain fandom keeps up with basic etiquette is by interacting with positive posts related to an unpopular character.

HTTYD fans fail hard in this regard.

I am always fascinated by people who do not follow this blog but comment negatively on my posts and then block me. The ones that don't block me are fine; they're open to conversation or at least challenges to their opinion. But why would you, as an anti-theist, go to a religious blog - or a random religious post - just to comment about how much you hate religious people and then block that person?

It's so immature and childish and like, they don't even reblog my post so they can bitch about it to their followers. They make a comment, that only I or someone else looking at my blog would see, and then they block me - so I can't see it. What is the objective here? The logic? Please explain; I've been on the receiving end of a lot of stupid and cruel internet shit but this is one thing I can't find a logical reasoning for.

just wondering if you're going to update "Put it on my tab"? its one of my favorites and I just hoe everyone flocks to makinos!!!! this is not me trying to pressure an update btw!! take all the time you want but im just wondering where on the update list it is if that makes sense? Have a lovely day and I love your work so much!!!❤❤❤❤

Hearing that it's one of your favourites made me so happy, I went and finished the draft for the next chapter, so it's actually next on my schedule! Hoping to update it this week if energy allows, but in the meantime, have a little snippet while I edit!

From chapter 2 of Put It on My Tab, aka the fic where a lot of people show up in Makino's bar. First up:

The bar was like he’d described it.

It’s not your usual watering hole, he’d said, his gaze drawn inwards, as though picturing it. They'd been drinking in the galley on Moby Dick, all of them gathered together; the noise level had almost drowned out his voice as he'd continued, It’s really tidy, and she keeps flowers in her windows. I used to think bars were supposed to be seedy, or at the very least a little dingy. All the ones I’d seen in Goa were, so I figured it was part of the gig, but hers was different.

He’d grinned; the one he reserved for the good things from his childhood, like his brothers, and the bandits who’d raised him, as Ace had told them, simply, She’s different.

I take it you’ve never dined and dashed from your tab there, Marco remembered saying.

He’d laughed at that. He could still recall the sound, and the way he’d throw his head back. Oyaji had once remarked that he’d never looked more like his father than when he laughed, but Marco had never told Ace that.

I’d like to meet the person who could, Ace had said.

Their whole crew had been listening now, Oyaji included, a focus that betrayed a curious amount of intrigue, given the topic of conversation, but it was Izo who'd asked, She's that scary?

Ace's grin had softened, something almost bashful in it, as though he was suddenly a much younger boy, even if Marco had often teased him that he was young. And he’d given them a clear picture of the island where he'd grown up, and its inhabitants, Dadan and her family, and the villagers, but here he’d shaken his head, as though this couldn’t be described. Instead, all he’d said was,

If you ever meet her, you’ll see what I mean.

You know. I'm part of the fraction "to each their own and let people handle their lives however they see best fit". But I do feel the need to say that I have seldom seen such an idiotic assumption as that breaking up with someone four days before someone's birthday when you also want that someone to do something for their birthday even though you know you and your soon-to-be-ex will both have to be there won't end with that person just not doing anything with anyone for their birthday. Partially because nobody wants that kind of awkwardness after a fresh breakup and also because the soon-to-be-ex has the lovely habit of wallowing in self pity and making everything about how they have it so bad. You know I just think in such cases you should've waited a week with the breakup. I don't care how much you want to fuck that other guy but I really think you should've waited a week.

Sometimes I hate talking to people on the internet because you can think you are being super nice and reasonable and they will act like you came at them all crazy like.

Like "yes hello thank you for working so hard on porting this mod forward. I just request that you post on the page what features are or aren't available in your version, because it can be frustrating to get really far into the game only to find out that features you thought would be there, aren't, but it's too late to do anything about it. TY"

And someone got mad??? Like if u wanna keep ppl like me from coming into your discord Maybe Make This Information Available Somewhere Other Than Your Discord!?!?!?!

I Did Not Want To Join A Discord Just For This!!!

[mieczyhale]

every fandom has obnoxious people in it. every single one. elitists, gatekeepers, snobs, mean girls (gender neutral), etc. just the loudest, most judgemental and unhinged fuckers y'ever did see. they exist everywhere.

now

swifties get called the worst, and that isn't always.. incorrect or whatever. we've seen kind of A Lot about their Everything for a long time.

but you, mcr fan who is big mad that gerard was in a harmless gifset with an artist you hate (not comparing. just existing), aren't exactly any better

as a fan of them myself y'all are being embarrassing, unnecessarily mean, and BANANAS hypocritical

it's a gifset

the lyrics are similar but that doesn't make it a comparison. assuming it is is kind of weird

if the other artist was anyone other than taylor would you still be acting like this or is it just because it's her?? is that why y'all cannot seem to be normal about this?? like hate her all you want, that's okay, but stop making your hate the problem of *checks notes* a gif maker who is a fan of both artists

come the fuck on

[cannibalisam]

i have fully been converted into a john winchester apologist at this point but i still don't want to watch the winchesters because it just doesn't look like. Fun

[running-in-the-dark]

okay thank god, it's over, I can stop talking about this stupid interview 🙃
