How do you do it to fit on the Billy fandom? I'm asking because i can't and i've been nothing but chill and civil yet i don't feel noticed or liked. I'm just confused because i thought this was the only safest place in the whole ST fandom and i happen to only care about him as a character 😔

i really don't fit on it either lmao. i have this neutral view on the billy community with a huge chunk of it being a positive experience. however, due to traumatic personal situations of all types that i have been through while trying to fit, i no longer look forward to belong to any group dedicated to a show or a movie. which is why i make that clear on the pinned post. i just take which fandom related content to consume, share, see which discourse pieces i partake and befriend whoever that treats me well and that's it.

generally talking, i can perceive on the billy fandom that due to the massive, crazy and vitriolic size hate wave that it clearly increased this year for some reason - he had the shortest screen time and dacre was casted as a guest this season yet the girlies don't seem to let that die lol - that the a lot of the fans are getting. including myself who received some anonymous ageism, fat shaming and at least four SA wishes.

therefore, i can see there's some mistrust a lot of them have towards a lot of people and want to carefully check who they follow and can be mutuals with. i honestly don't blame none of them for that.

another thing i can blame that particular difficulty is the messed up algorithm that happens on tumblr, specially on the mobile app which does not allow you to see who follows you as it used to years ago and..not even follow back sometimes. i've struggled with those.

my advice is for you to have an easy experience is to do and remember the following:

focus your energy on the moots and people that are treating you properly

try to not take it personal and seriously.

if it turns out to be personal: keep minding your own business. there will be people in this shithole of website that will pick whatever nonsense and rather than act like a grown ass and discuss the issue privately to you they will obsessively hate you for it and try to create beef so ignore and don't engage.

speaking about, someone you thought you were cool with unfollows you out of the sudden? fine, unfollow back. even better if you block them. i'm sure you'll find some others that will appreciate you like you deserve.

some people don't want to befriend you back just because but that's not your fault. try to not let it get through you.

chose wisely which fandom pieces you want to partake of and which ones you don't want to.

this is the internet so...don't let it absorbe your soul.

hope that all works and has a point!
