#because even with both lohan and moore looking 'young' there is also an odd uncanny valley thing going on with them too

I can’t STAND when people try to police a fandom. And I also can’t stand when people try to speak for their fave and act like they know what they’re talking about. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

*re: certain Jenna fans and WSSF and being so pressed about it

What I can't stand is that criticism is frowned upon because celebrity worship is too strong a compulsion for humans even in the year 2024. It's what ruined our damn country and made everyone dumber, and I hate that Imma die in a world where a fucking brainless imbecile's "been elected" to lead us into the ground again, despite us knowing how bad it was before. But as usual I digress.

WSSF will come out eventually, it'll be Ortega's 3rd bomb of 2024, and life will roll on, just as life's rolled on with Wednesday 2. Things will suck in terms of continuity (and those wigs, have they fucking learned nothing) and chances are — since there also seems to be a media literacy crisis as well as a general literacy crisis in this country — people will seagull around it like it's sliced bread until the next shiny, distracting thing comes along.

Fandom is as fandom does and there will always be weird strife, even in the most benign of fandoms (though I think the one that was most lacking in that kind of drama was Downton Abbey...I smelt no whiff of dissatisfaction with each other over there, it was nice). But I do gotta say that once I was given a glimpse of the Ortega fandom, I was ...impressed... by the levels of parasocial psychosis/protectionism regarding policing who she was hanging out with IRL. Y'all kids are on one hand yammering about protecting her privacy and boundaries and ya dee da but then go on and post the invasive pap shit everywhere, and/or continue to insist on shipping Jemma when one half of that ship has told y'all explicitly not to ship real people together.

And as evidenced lately, I say one thing about her nose — as if thousands upon thousands of people don't sit and yammer about other celebrities the same way — and suddenly I'm the weirdo again.

Okay, fine, I'm the first weirdo to fixate on the nose thing. I'm an artist (hyperrealistic at times) and a writer. Of course I fixate on details like that. My brain needs to know where things are in order to convey an accurate description, and when they change, I need to then adjust to the changes — which means actually acknowledging changes, which this fandom doesn't seem to care to do because it's cultish and no one should dare say anything "against" the pedestal princess, even if it's merely acknowledging her changes [to the very thing that is her moneymaker].

Anyhoo. I just realized that I have a lot of shit in drafts. Some of you anons that I thought I posted but didn't. LOL
