#The Story of How I joined the Fandom

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.
#I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but joining this fandom made me fucking hate the word ‘redemption’#no person I’ve seen who is in love with the concept knows the who what where when why or how it should work in a story#apparently it isn’t just themes and tropes anymore people don’t understand the proper use of the word ‘villain’#kelseethe#also hilarious: Jason should recieve sensitivity training HR style from Bruce ‘I’m the government and children are my cronies’ wayne#if Jasons headstrong/‘answers to no one’ attitude towards vigilantism is what makes people think he's villainous#I hate to be a broken record but the baddie you’re describing is Bruce#nobody thinks he’s a villain for only trusting in his own methods/self and repeatedly isolating himself#and on top of that gaslighting and hurting people around him in attempts to do what HE **thinks** is the right thing#you people always thought *him* heroic not problematic for all these traits#the only difference is Jason isn’t psychologically abusive & controlling#yet he’s still the bad guy just cause he liberally kills folks in the crime business.#l'd argue goth ham war is the b*tman story to remind you of everything that makes Bruce authentically himself#Idk how to tell you that Bruce mentally compromising/crippling his son in a twisted attempt to ‘save him from himself’#is perfectly in line with slitting the same son’s throat because he couldn’t stand to see him avenge his own killer#and yk what a redemption arc could be interesting for someone like Bruce#because he rarely questions or doubts his choices esp wrt Jason. no matter how morally dubious they may be#I think it would be quite fun to witness his extremely restricted worldview be challenged/shattered he deserves that humbling experience

I'm still not over what the genshin fandom (specifically meta players) did to dehya tbh...
#likeeee. okay first of all. yall can just say you dont understand her kit.#cause its not a bad kit. yall are just trying to use her as a dps. instead of as a tank which is what shes best for#AND THEN YALL PRAISE FU XUAN WHEN THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH THE EXACT SAME KIT but anyways#thats not the important part.#whats important is that yall didnt like her kit and then took that as an excuse to trash her whole entire character#istg it was inescapable for a few months. every post about her was calling her trash or had people calling her trash in the comments#but also a side note i literally joined the fandom like a week before she released#so i dont know what the fandom's opinion on her was before then#but like i still find it extremely annoying especially because HER KIT IS GOOD.#if its not your preferred play style thats fine!! i dont use her much anymore either!!!#but dont reduce her entire presence down to how bad you think her kit is !!!!!#also tbc when i say meta players i dont mean all meta players lol#i consider myself a meta player too. at least thats what i primarily play for between archon/story quests and major events#genshin#genshin impact#dehya#genshin dehya#seri speaks

I had a dream that Apollo was training Briseis to become a warrior with divine strength. I don't remember the why, or how he got access to her, though.
Sounds like one Helll of an AU, no? She might not be able to save Troy (because fate), but she could avenge it by killing Greeks. She could even be the one to kill Achilles (she deserves her revenge, for being made a sex slave). Or, like Aeneas, she could later travel further into Europe, and be the ancestor to some great tribe, maybe even an empire.
I think, I'll put this idea on my notes (or dream journal, at least). What's with me recieving story concepts in dreams, when I already have an ungodly amount of wips.
I suppose, Apollo decided "I know what Troy lacks! A warrior prodigy teenage girl chosen one with trauma!"
#greek mythology#the iliad#briseis#diary pages#dream journal#greek mythology fandom#greek mythology fanfiction#story ideas#warrior!briseis#seriously I can't remember how the whole thing happened I just remember the concept#but hell that's fascinating#now that would be a cool twist#and her killing achilles would be the coolest thing ever#apollo#i suppose she'd be an archer?..#Apollo is hardly a sword or speak guy#hmm if I write it Ares must join in to help his half bro train the Wrath of Troy#teenage girl warrior prodigy chosen one with trauma is the key to success usually

I'm over here trying desperately to figure out how to write Holly because I need her for like two scenes to do a set up for the ship I actually have as the focus for this fic
people who actually write farmer ships are strong because if i don't have like a guideline for a character that's more then just a sentence I have the hardest time using them for literally anything lkdfjhadks
My brains just like hm uh what do i do with you who are you??
Like ofc once i do figure her out it probably wont be a problem but as it stands i am struggling
#like ive only been writing for like a year so maybe one day I will understand#today is not that day sorry Holly but you get to play the role of a cardboard cut out who says what i need you to and then vanishes#Making ocs is a pain and thats more or less where Holly and other farmer characters fall for me#yeah i know i joined a weird fandom considering i have that hang up im hoping to get over it eventually#And its really only for my own creations not like what others make i like seeing how people depict the pcs i just have a hard time doing it#trio of towns#story of seasons#bokumono#could i just make her me?#i mean i guess it would feel really weird though imo

Growling biting hissing screaming Tumblr dot com doesn't have a real fandom for Requiem For A Dream crying screaming throwing up
Tw: caps and drug mentioned
WHENEVER I OPEN THE TAG FOR THIS MOVIE IT'S ALL ABOUT MARIAM AND HARRY'S LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND GIF/SCREENSHOTS ABOUT THEIR LOVE AND ITS SOOO FRUSTRATING
Like it's nice that people can relate to their love but THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT HOW DRUGS RUINED THEIR LIVES. WHY DO I HAVE TO OPEN YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE TO SEE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT???!! WHY CANT WE TALK ABOUT THE WAY SHOTS ARE DONE AND HOW ACTORS KILLED IT AND HOW SAD THEIR LIVES HAVE BECAME AND HOW NEITHER SARAH NOR HARRY KNOWS HOW TERRIBLE EACH OTHER BECAME BECAUSE OF DRUGS???
Sarah, if she even has consciousness at this point, is probably thinking at least her dear, handsome son is studying at a great university and doing better than her; while Harry could only wish that his dear mother is doing much better than how him and his friends are doing.
AND WHAT ABOUT SARAH'S NEIGHBOURS?? THEY SUGGESTED THE FAKE/BAD DOCTOR TO HER, SO SHE CAN LOOSE WEIGHT FASTER! THEY WERE CLEARLY HORRIFIED TO SEE HER GET OUT OF HER HOUSE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MOVIE BECAUSE SARAH WAS HORRIBLE?? WHAT ABOUT THE GUILT OF KILLING YOUR CLOSE FRİEND UNINTENTIONALLY??
AND MARIAM LITERALLY GAVE HER BODY TO PAY THE BILLS AND TYSON GOT LOCKED UP IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND HARRY LOST HIS ARM AND SARAH FUCKING DIED (?) AND AAAA
Why the fans (?) here are not talking about the characters and events of this movie instead of posting the same sex/love scene between Marian and Harry 74747th time???? Their love is just the part of this movie, but it's not what it is about!!!
#badger posts shit#requiem for a dream#2000s movies#btw i'm sure if i'm remembering Sarah's friends seeing her scene towards the end or making it up#the one before she went on the bus/metro to join to show#ALSO DONT EVEN TELL ME THAT THIS MOVIE IS OLD THEREFORE IT'S NOT REALLY CARED FOR#M A A A AAANY CLASSIC HORROR MOVIES THAT ARE FAMOUS STILL TO THIS DAY ARE FROM THE SAME AREA AS REQUIEM FOR A DREAM!!!!#IF YOU CAN LOVE SAW AND FINAL DESTINATION AND FRIDAY THE 13TH AND SCREAM AND HALLOWEEN; THAN YOU CAN LOVE RFAD TOO#IT DESERVES TO BE FAMOUS AND GET DISCUSSES ABOUT TOO FFS!! NOT TO BE TURNED INTO ANOTHER ONE OF TUMBLR'S LOVE STORY POSTS#THIS MOVIE IS NOT ANOUT MARIAM AND HARRY'S LOVE ITS ABOUT ADDICTION AND DRŰGS AND HOW IT RUINS LIVES#btw its fine if Mariam and Harry's love gives you comfort idc.#but its so fucking frustrating for me to open the tags for this movie only to see Mariam and Harry kissing and fűcking each other 558th time#instead of reading discussions about the movie#i was watching the movie with my mom and her friend and THAT ARM scene made us all gag because it was just so gross but in a good way#because you as an audience can see how fucked up his arm was - even Tyson could see it and reacted to it -#but Harry decided to Do It anyways! and it ended up turning into a Bad Thing for him (trying to be as vauge as possible lol)#WHY WE HAGE NO DISCUSSION ABOUT THE INFECTED (?) ARM SCENE??!! AND SARAH'S HALLUCINATIONS?#AND REST OF THE MOVIE AND ACTORS LIKE A FANDOM INSTEAD OF POSTING THE THING OVER AND OVER???

Quick question for the Viva Piñata fandom, has your favorite VP character changed over the years or have they always stayed consistent??
#Personally I was absolutely spellbound by Petula when I first saw her when I was like 3#But after joining the fandom and replaying the game I remembered how fascinating dastardos’ story was and his lore made me go 👀#viva pinata#viva piñata#Dastardos#miss petula#costalot#willy builder#Leafos#storkos#seedos#professor pester#Doc patchingo

loki season two has me screaming crying throwing up trying not to get dragged back into the mcu trenches
#i am stronger than this. i am better than this!!#by the trenches i mean consuming fanfiction at an unhealthy rate. fourteen year old me was insane i think i was on ao3 more than i slept#that’s not exaggeration. i was getting four hours of sleep on school nights and frequently went to bed at 5am on weekends#it is ONE good story. one. literally not worth it. i don’t even care about ninety percent of the mcu characters#i will ignore the little voice in my head reminding of the sheer amount of fanfiction. this was my pre-tumblr days#so my fandom interaction was like. youtube and ao3. maybe instagram posts sometimes. it was so much fun like. zero drama zero discourse#i was honestly living my best life. got less interested when i joined tumblr and went full doctor who mode#and after endgame i watched i think wandavision and loki and that was it. just didnt care anymore lol#i know exactly why this is happening tho. currently the thing i am insane about is my own damn project. which i am in the process of writin#for obvious reasons no fandom there. bc it lives in my mind twenty four fucking seven#i do wonder if i’m kind of growing away from fandom anyway? the closest i’ve got since toh ended was homestuck tbh#i want to feel obsessed with something again!! everything i’m into now - tma tlt and the like - i love them#but it doesnt hit like it used to. i don’t know it’s hard to explain#like video essays that i would have loved a few years ago!! the hour long ones about representation and queer media#they just irritate me now! i got halfway through one last week and had to bail i just could not care less#how did 2020 social media have me convinced that x character being gay was super important politically economically socially etc#ofc the answer is that i was a baby lesbian getting even less social interaction than normal#like representation is important obviously but also. sometimes it was not that deep#i don’t know if i’m making sense tbh but you get my drift#morganposting

The other Oblivion beepo please
Gladly. (CW FOR BLOOD AND TALK OF HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION)
Introducing DR E. WARREN
(Just call them Warren.)
As a 16 year old desperate for cash and to get away from a bad home, Warren agreed to join a medical trial, but unknown to them it was luring from the Oblivion Project operating under the Ministry of Joy for something far worse- Experimenting with Void on human subjects.
As the only survivor, they spent years recovering from the physical and mental trauma, but they weren't catching a break yet. With the connection to the Void remaining, the Lord of Darkness had access to their mind, silently influencing them to further his own pursuits (which I talk a little more about Here).
Eventually they were free of his influence, but by that point 12 years had passed, and they found themself working as a biochemical scientist and researcher working with Oblivion, and making it to the very role of the people who experimented on them...
...They don't like to talk about their history too much, especially not those early days of working under the Ministry of the Lord of Darkness.
Now though, they act as Head of the Oblivion Project, and have been a leading force in the push for high ethical standards of practice and making strides in medical research using Void.
They also met an unfortunate demise and subsequent revival as a result of some... Encounters related to the Invitation, but does it really matter if the one in charge of Oblivion also happens to be a vampire?
Personally I don't see a problem with it.
They also have a giant Void lizard named Gus (short for Gustopher)
(Have a question about them? Have a question FOR them? Go right ahead.)
#alton towers#alton towers oc#original character#oc art#oblivion#oblivion alton towers#theyre my first towers oc from back when i first joined the fandom#i have a soft spot for them ngl#as always theres a lot ive skimmed over or not mentioned at all though#condensing a lot of story into a small amount of writing#and uhh#warren just cant catch a break#like ever#you know how it is#my art#ask#ask to tag#tw blood#warren

Oh man if you are having fun with the english server already you'll love the stories that will never get a translation because theyre from the previous era, from before enstars was a rhythm game. The anime doesnt come close to doing them justice (or just doesnt feature them at all), but theyre invaluable to understanding the story. It's a lot to read but soooo worth it if youre here for the story. I can help you navigate the wayback machine to access what was taken down from the wiki and give recommendations of translation sites if you need^_^ i love it when people get into enstars for the story Yippee
I'D LOVE THE HELP WITH THE BASIC STORIES.
Also, hiii, thank you for the ask and the offer!! That is so sweet of you!
But yes! I've seen the instructions for the wayback and hope to use it someday (archive.org is a lifesaver. Everyone say thank you to it). I just am a little lost on what stories I should definitely read (I've poked around and seen I should basically read the main story arcs, Repayment Festival, and Setsubun (spelling?), then I'm free to go wild). But I would seriously love if you could give me story recs and/or direct me to a guide, translators, etc. Obviously if it's not too much trouble (and thank you so much for the offer!)
#i love joining new fandoms#ill just poke around the tag and find seriously lovely people here you all are so cool#sadly idk how much time ill have to read the stories but i still definitely appreciate recs and guides#Sjsjshdhhew that seriously was so sweet of you to offer op!#obviously in no way do you need to follow through im just grateful already :D#enstars#ensemble stars#fandom spamdom#stuff i say

#having one of those nights#so basically i just joined a new server#and someone in it had made a liveblogging thread of reading mdzs for the first timw#they're reading it in cn too#and like. my god. so refreshing#i think that's the first time i've ever seen someone who i agree with modao takes almost in a 1:1#THEY PUT INTO WORDS SO WELL SO MUCH OF WHAT I FEEL#also jist generally a lot of good insights and language notes that are straight up untranslatable#maybe i'll ask permission to screenshot some of them and share bc THEY'RE SOOOOOO GOOD#and yeah it basically reminded me how well constructed mdzs is#how GOOD of a protagonist wwx is#and how wrong the fandom is about 99% of things mostly for not remembering what rly happens in this story#rip#reignited my love for mdzs which has always been here anyway but AHHH IT FEELS NICE#modao#lace speaks

#hi rachel#I am utterly head over heels obsessed with Stitches#it's a big part of what got me to join the mando fandom and return to tumblr after 10 years#it's probably unhealthy how many times I have reread it but it is prob over 20 times#the plot#the worldbuilding#the story arcs#the fucking SMUT IS GOLDEN#it is truly a gift and you are wonderful and I am a bit of a fangirl#stitches fic#djarinsbeskar

OP I'm gunna use your post to dump a what if idea which I'm kind of torn on exploring, but I wanna see if anybody thinks it's interesting (also this is such a cool observation! I at first assumed Angel was just wiping away drool or something from his mouth, I don't know HOW I didn't make the connection that this is a metaphor for him literally trying to wipe away the 'poision' Val is infecting him with. Hazbin might not be my fav fandom anymore but god is this a perfect bit of show don't tell in story telling!)
So I know I've stated somewhere that, in reality, I've never been that fussed over Hazbin ships. All ships are kinda just eh to me and I don't really dislike any one of them more than the rest: but Angel x Vox has always scratched my brain
Back when we only had the insta accounts to get info from the V's, there was one post from Vox where he had a broken TV screen and (I can't remember word for word what was said in the post) I believe in the post itself it said "F*ck you Val" or something. Implying that Valention treated him with the same level of violence as he does Angel
Valentino see's people as things, Angel even refers to himself as "his favourite toy" in the show. Other demons are just Val's play things, and while I do like the dynamic between the V's in the show, and while it is of course awful what Val does (warnings for serious SA and general abuse), I think there is potential for an interesting story if the dynamic between Val and Vox was kept how it was on the Instagram pages
Valentino views demons as play things, things to amuse him, and Vox is a business man, a seller, one who prides on upholding a certain image and reputation. He does NOT like being seen as lesser. Vox one day leaving Val or being dumped by him because Val grew tired of him, Vox somehow running into Angel who has taken permeant residency under the hotel (and for story sake lets say he's under Charlie's official protection or whatever so Val can't touch him) and the two bond over their collective experience being in an abusive relationship with the same monster
This would lead to Vox and Angel, at some point, becoming somewhat friends who confine in each other, perhaps leading to word spreading that Vox is involved with the residents of the Happy Hotel and his reputation going down hill. With no where to go, Vox ends up begrudgingly moving into the hotel, where over time and after learning to let down their walls and be real, Vox and Angel grow more and more comfortable around the other because they both know what it's like to be treated as a toy before being thrown away when you're no longer amusing. Even if neither are prepared to admit they appreciate the others support
Time passes bitter enemies turn to frenemies to wary friends to very caring friends till both share a very conflicting moment of realisation that hey, maybe they both CAN be in a healthy relationship with someone and are both worthy of being treated with respect, despite being in hell
I noticed some interesting symbolism.
You see how at the end of his musical number Angel worryingly wipes the "poison" that is dripping from his mouth right...?
Well, what do we see next..?
Yeah...Vox and Angel may not be that different when it comes to their relationship with Valentino
#Yes I thought about this ship a lot but I never got round to drawing anything for it#And now with how toxic Val is revealed to be in the show I'm hesitant to even tough any of the V's#I know the Hazbin fandom can be a bit intense at best and down right unbearable at worst so I really don't fancy having a bunch of fans#raising their pitch forks at me for drawing a bad character with Angel#Even though it's never explicitly revealed Vox is on the same level as Val#I do seriously love this what if idea though#I think it would have been an interesting story point if Vox eventually was persuaded to join the hotel#This would be a turning point for Charlie as she gains hope her ideals of demons being good is spreading#And Vox eventually learning 'Oh hey maybe these idiots are only mildly annoying and aren't that bad ig' and actually becoming a bit more#tolerable of the chaos they all cause#IDK I'm just rambling I love Vox his voice actor is awesome#Hazbin#Hazbin Hotel#Vox

I've officially joined AO3! My username is the same as here on Tumblr, Uwudonoodle. Now I can read all your fics that are only for registered users.
#it may surprise some of you that I wasn't registered until now#I'm kind of late to getting deep into fandom#I only started reading fanfic with any regularity a couple of years ago#and I only joined Tumblr a few months ago#I wasn't going to worry about officially joining ao3 until I was ready to publish my story#but I also want to read your fics that you've set to only registered users#it will be nice to bookmark things too#I also put it off because I wasn't sure what I wanted my username to be#but someone here on Tumblr complimented my username and now it's gone to my head#so I decided to use it for both Tumblr and ao3#it will be a still be a while before my fic is ready to publish#but I may try to write a quick one shot before then so I can figure out how to format things correctly#I've got a lot to learn still#gonna go look at site skins#ao3#happy reading

500k word fic so good that i keep forgetting to look at what chapter im on to see how much more i have to read. i always realize when im halfway thru the chapter and they’re long as all get out so i can’t scroll back up lest i lose my place
#i’ve seen this fic many a time when i was just scrolling but the summary didn’t speak to me#when i first join a fandom i like having canon-based stories bc yk. its familiar. i get it. i dont have to have psychoanalysed#the characters to understand what i’m reading#but i saw fanart for it. which means i had to read it at long last#i have literally no idea how far i am into it but if i had to gander i’d say surely at least halfway#maybe more

"Why are all SK fans proshippers" Silence fetus
#text#mind you SK was released in a very different time period where fandoms back in the day were built different. freaks strived and#everyone back in the day followed fandom etiquette “ship and let ship” and “dont like dont read”. fandoms back in the old day were#peaceful and supported one another. ppl shipped anything and everyone and ppl minded their own business in the early 2000s#thats how almost all old sk veteran fans i know turn out to be what they are today#(ofc there are some. other veteran folks i do not fuck with as theyre also genuine assholes and are hypocrites/ostracizes others.#. but another discussion for another day lol. you must be a level 100+ of friendship to unlock my tragic sk fan backstory)#also news flash all of your favorite anime/manga stories are all written by profic ppl! thats right! everyone in japan are profic#shocking i know#japanese folks dont give a flying rat ass when it comes to FICTIONAL morals because they know how to differentiate between fic and reality#the fact that so many antis keep on twisting the word proship so many times to the point where its widely misinterpreted and ppl#nowadays esp the younger gen easily believe in the misinformation and keep repeating the cycle of misinformation in modern fandoms today#it pisses me off honestly#but yeah what did you expected from a old series that came out in the late 90s. the fact that theyre consuming the series when the series#itself also literally has problematic elements too lol#and see this is why im glad SK is niche despite that i wish it was popular so it can bring in more renmei fans but in the end its better of#being niche#because had it blown up it wouldve attracted all of the chronically online kids/puritans/fandom police and ruin everything for everyone#modern fandom today is the reason why all fandoms suck nowadays and its why i gave up joining and being part of them#theres discrimination everywhere in modern fandoms. oh your a proshipper? gtfo DNI and kys!!!!11111#its like theres eggshells everywhere no matter where you go. you have to abide with morality and puritanical rules its the “automatic” law#but fuck that thats never been the automatic law in fandoms lol. Ship and let ship AND dont like dont read is the real fandom laws here lol#but back to what i want to also say. theres nothing you can do about SK fans being proshippers. the old fans has always operated that way#since the old times. either adapt / cope with it OR you can just. block everyone and preserve your peace. which takes like 10 seconds#this is like maybe the 15th SK puritan fan i know lol. then again i also know theres ALOT of renmei antis who follow the puritan mindset#imao. I say this alot many times but SK fandom is only ugly and almost everyone becomes a puritan when renmei gets mentioned#which has always made me ????????????????? so yall can handle yoyo boy and anna teen preg can handle serg getting groomed/manipulated#by marc and xes laws can handle kids getting their arms and legs ripped off can handle kids getting killed left and right#can handle shipping bruce lee whos like plenty years older than JUN which btw beginning of the series she starts off being 17#but a 4 year age gap between ren and jeanne is too much apparently and should be cancelled. geez louise
