I'm the anon that said I didn't want to tier for 2 weeks straight. I did T1K Friendship Rebuilt and T500 Our Escape For Survival. Hope you got the tiers you wanted as well!

Hi anon congrats on the tiers!!! I usually just aim for t10k lol and i did manage to get both of them (the mizuki one was hell esp cos i had to skip a few days of the event)

If you're a writer and you really believe the best ending for your characters is to kill them all then at this point I can't help but think you just couldn't come up with anything else.

Its THE go to ending for complex stories in media right now and it's the laziest fucking thing a writer could do

Full offense intended btw.

i fear after i finally finish the 100 i'm gonna have to go back to ouat because while it may be a mess of a show at least emma and killian get a happy ending

I know tv shows are their own medium apart from the comics they are adapted from but I can't help but cringe when I see Ollie with someone that's not Dinah.

Tarnished but so grand

Clexa || modern au

Chapter 37

Two big firsts for Lexa with Valentine's Day this year: firstly, it's the first Valentine's Day she is excited for because she and Clarke are going out, and secondly, it's her and Michael's first Valentine's Day as a married couple. Clarke has the entire day planned out for the two of them, and she is determined to make it a special one. Michael also has a date planned, but it's less special and took a lot less effort than what Clarke planned for Lexa. Clarke and Lexa have a little talk of the future as well, and most of this chapter is Clexa's date.

there needs to be more research papers published on fandom behaviors, like, this NEEDS to be studied under a microscope.

multiple things about it need to be explained????

I've definitely seen more female fans* (than male fans) engage in online fandom spaces (and also in person fandom spaces like conventions for shows). Why are women more likely to spend time and create content for non-monetary purposes? Why are women more loyal and attached to fictional characters???

People who are part of online fandoms are more likely to develop a (false) sense of friendship and loyalty with celebrities. So has this kind of parasocial behaviour drastically increased in the last decade??

Not to mention the shipping culture. This is applicable to both: real life shipping and fictional shipping (basically, shipping actors vs shipping characters. A lot of people do both, while the other majority vehemently supports that shipping actors crosses a moral line). What I need to study is if/how this sort of shipping has affected actors? Has it changed their understanding of the characters? In negative or positive way? Has this sort shipping changed their relationship with the actors they're being shipped with??

The last brainrot topic for the day: Fandom identity. Now, most fans online are "multi fandom" (again, this information is based on personal experience) and they do not tend to restrict their content to one particular character or show at a time. That being said, there are still significant number of fans that give more value to one particular show than others, so they would "belong" to one fandom but might also engage in other content. And it is so fascinating when you think how this has transitioned into a "real community" and people hold the same values or loyalty to it. For example: you have xy fandom and ab fandom, you see a lot of scenarios where it'd be "oh the xy community always treats us badly, we're being bullied/marginalized and this is why we, the ab community, do not like anyone who identifies as xy."

like????? ALL OF THIS AND MORE NEEDS TO BE STUDIED PLEASE

Disclaimer: *these are just my observations from being on tumblr/twitter etc. I don't have an actual stats on what gender engages more with fandom as a whole. The demographic numbers released are usually by networks or by shows, not a central study that looks at fandom behaviours.

Blodreina is Abby's fault. She turned Octavia into Blodreina and then called her a monster.

surprise self-rec time! pick 3 of your favorite things you’ve written and share them here, then put this in the inbox (anonymously or not) of your fellow writers to spread the positivity and help celebrate already written fics 🖤

thanks, Chash!

Narrowing this down to 3 was harder than I thought it was going to be but:

a world to rediscover - 9-1-1, Christopher-POV Buddie, 9.7K words, future fic written pre-S8 where Eddie moves back to TX to be with Christopher, and 13 years later, Christopher invites Buck to his wedding. This was probably the most emotional I've ever been while writing a fic, and even while I resisted writing it for so long, I'm really proud of the end product.

Lanky Brunets with Wicked Jaws - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Garashir, 11K words, post-canon married Garashir murder mystery based on The Thin Man. This one was So! Much! Fun! to write and I love to go back and read it all the time. Garashir perfectly fit the Nick & Nora dynamic, and I love the idea of the two of them having wacky hijinks on post-canon Cardassia

play the game by putting on the brakes - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Heather/Valencia, 10.6K words, Friends to Lovers. My one and only CXGF fic. I recently re-read it because I was feeling nostalgic for the show and surprised myself with how much I still loved it, and these two together.
