in my head I've been jokingly referring to this thing I call the LU Terms of Use. Like I could make nsfw jokes that I think would be fine, like middle school boy humor, but also how close to that line of LU TOU is it?

anyways, this is to say, if I were to ever leave the fandom with a bang I think I'd old friends senior dogs sanctuary it. Legend would say it. iykyk. I think it'd be funny and harmless but I'd also need to scram. it'd be kind of messed up to do it on purpose, so I wouldn't, but still lol

#rays random ramblings #delete in a bit #LU fandom went from attacking shippers to attacking themselves to attacking Jojo #and all the while alongside this we had the broader loz fandom attacking LU fans and attacking Jojo #old lu fans jumping ship to turn around and hate LU fans and Jojo. LU fans attacking LU fans #LU fan becoming a negatively associated generalization. i'm just tired of it #''general isolated observation about something'' ''<- wow must be those awful LU fans'' sucks to see #seeing people who were part of the LU 'let people make whatever fan content they want it makes us better!' backing up LU fans #and watching them leave the fandom to make their own work- where they keep the sentiment- but now it's against LU fans #we used to fight this battle together! we're still fighting the same battle but now we're against each other too.#I used to be so excited to share about LU #and now I just feel that the broader spaces hate it. it's not something to be proud about participating in.#seeing anyone with a LU pfp interacting with other linksmeets makes me so nervous. LU fans have a bad reputation.#whatever is said has the potential to be taken in the worst faith. with the most judgement. and then it's applied to the fandom as a whole.#I'm genuinely afraid to interact with other linksmeets and people who were once peers out of fear that whatever I have to say #will be criticized more harshly. or if I mess up there will be no forgiveness. I'd just be brushed aside as another entitled LU fan.#LU fan being synonymous with entitled and narrow-minded #someone who misinterprets and needs to be put in their place. dunno man #ovega and the people who misinterpreted her work being assumed as LU fans because they misinterpreted.#smiles having her work mistagged and saying it's the fault of the lu fandom. is it the whole fandom? or is it individuals who just #are new to tumblr. or just don't know better.#minaslinkverse and the recent ask confusion about zelda / dohna / midna. the asker was dragged in front of Mina's audience and shamed.#not that Mina agreed with what ended up happening but it still happened.#Frulle making posts only labeled ''linked maze'' and ''linked universe'' and then saying the audience passed the test because #the ''linked maze'' post did better. effectively making clear right and wrong sides with a list of names of who was in the wrong.#I'm afraid of it. I don't want to participate in fan discussion with other linkverses or even with LU that much anymore #it's a fault on all sides but it's attributed to the LU fans and I don't think it's really fair anymore. everyone's at fault at this point.#I don't really feel safe to participate in the loz fanspaces on a whole. especially as someone coming from LU.#anyways I haven't had much of the desire to create for multiple reasons but this is one.#Mina's LV asked how to get fans to participate in analysis and tbh for me I don't because I don't feel safe to
