Real talk tho I'm tired of accommodating bitches who aren't willing to accommodate me

i'm always slightly skeptical when i see posts bemoaning how no one interacts with fanart/meta/fanfic/fanworks in general anymore, or there's been a sudden great dearth of comments and reblogs and or kudoses or what have you.

like i don't want to dismiss them entirely. community expectations do change, and i think it's worth talking about how the presence of social media algorithms and the commodification of fandoms as more Content can be opposed to the long term community building on which fandom thrives.

but at the same time, people have been complaining about how there's not enough interaction with fanworks since I was twelve, so i think this might be a bit of human nature

As a rule, anything that’s advertised to me on tumblr I’m not buying. Even if the alternative is more expensive. Even if there’s no alternative. Even if I need it!!!

Its about the spite, the principal of it all

I love this website bc 50k posts will say "it's so important to live your life with your full pussy talk to people read difficult books sing with your whole heart!"

And every poll is like "Have you ever had sex had alcohol gone to a party talked to a stranger sang out loud at a concert read poetry you didn't understand lay outside in the grass looking at the trees pondering your own existence" and 80% answer "I have never done any of these things "

Adding on to the post abort Niall’s promo, one thing of note is that he has said that the RAH performance was a turning point for him. He said that until then he had been stuck at home feeling angry at the world and he had only managed to write one song. But after RAH, he felt inspired to write again and one of the songs he wrote for the album is called ‘170 BPM’ and deals with feelings of anxiety.

As a side note, he also mentioned that there were some new additions to the band, and people who were present at the taping of the Jonathan Ross Show said that he had two women as backup singers during the live performance of Heaven.

I think that's really interesting - and shows the advantage of being specific about your pandemic experience (and anything else you are talking about). The specificity actually connects much more than more general statements.
