#either the state of the CK fandom is really that bad or i have really blocked that many people#its so interesting to see it grow from the s3 covid boom#post s3 most of us were knew so we were learning the lore together. we were going through the stages of#“surface level fandom for shipping purposes” to “backed by canon” together#to see people come in becaue The Ship (which was also why i came in)#and be charmed by the fandom portrayel of them. then watch the show and realize how disengaged it is.#we've all been there.#like surface level shippers will always exist but the teat is if its 6 months later and theyve become oddly attached#to an obscure side character that has no last name. who has entire meta commentaries#watson vs doylist style#the layers of meta of it all ...#also usually you find another ship that is much less popular but scratches your brain in such a particular way that it outshines the og mvp#and then you look back on it all like a fond lover. before going back to drafting you johnjoshhayden hate mail#and there's the inevitable boom of new fans after each season that come and go but#there are still a few of the old guard. “i was there gandolf” and you pass each other on the dash#world weary and smoking a cigarette. as the same conversations are had once again.#anyways its always wild to see daniel/sam/Ralph/mary hate at this point in time. in this economy?#not like “i disagree with their actions here” but like “they suck ass and are so mean and they bullied me personally irl i have proof ”#you know the kind where the only way to reach that conclusion you have to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the movies the characters#and also just like. human interaction itself?#bullying? in the “bullying is bad” movie fandom? *pointed look*#i rogot entirely where i was going with this rip
