just a ramble but i hate how the fandom spaces of idols industry in general assumes that your bias/oshi/etc is the person that you're romantically interested in. like have you not considered that i'm..... a fan? and not like swiping at a dating app?
#i understand the industry too plays a role in this by making romantic povs catered to the fans#but us in the fandom spaces?#some of us are here bcs oh well idk?? we like their skills? their personality? we relate to them? theyd probably make a great bff figure??#likr woooo putting romantic r/s on pedestals okay#sorry am a bit bitter but oh well wtv#just hate scrolling thru āthings that says abt you if your bias is _ā and then you suddenly get a romantic scenario#kpop#jpop#txt#tomorrow by together#nct#lesserafim#stray kids#psychic fever#naniwa danshi#snowman#enhypen#seobseobs š¬

"we need more complex female characters" you couldn't even handle her
#ash: hey idk if itās a good idea to give full access of the most advanced warship we have to a mercenary who shot a suspect in cold blood#and a cop who quit his job because there were too many rules (and also happens to be a member of the military we were recently at war with)#also i think the council will throw us to the wolves to save themselves#like half the fandom: omg space racist???#sorry for discourse postingā¢ but i saw a terrible post that rocketed me back into 2013#anyway we may have preferences but we love and appreciate both virmire survivors in this house#mass effect#ashley williams

shipping discourse is so crucial because it encourages people to examine and re-examine their perceptions of female characters. when we actively think about why a ship feels comfortable or uncomfortable, we are less likely to be swayed by patriarchal notions of womanhood disguised as progressive ideals within fandoms.
female-dominated spaces, like many fandoms, are growing more conservative in tone, especially around complex female characters, and there is a growing discomfort with heroines attracted to villains. this trend parallels the conservative impulse to judge a person's morality based on their reading preferences. (a bad, bad thing.)
we are seeing a huge shift towards puritanical ideals of female purity (check out the trad-wifers on tiktok), and it is a rot seeping into fandoms. we have to keep shipping discourse alive. we have to keep talking about female characters and their complicated relationships with themselves, but also with other characters, including their attraction to morally-grey or outright villainous characters. keep asking people to examine and re-examine their perceptions of womanhood. keep them thinking.
we cannot let our fandoms reduce complex female characters and their relationships to simple moral statements. this approach creates a pipeline to conservative radicalisation, where the only shipping discourse allowed is through a tiny patriarchal lens. fandoms are spaces were we should explore, brainstorm, and celebrate female complexity, resisting the urge to flatten characters and their relationships into 'good' or 'bad' based on narrow conservative ideas of female purity.
#haladriel#ghoulcy#oshamir#women using men as the vessels in which to explore their relationship with power and hope and darkness and survival is important#storytelling as a form of survival is deeply woven into womanhood and we can't let the conservatives take it from us#we can't let our fellow women be radicalised by patriarchal ideals in fandom spaces which is very much happening right now and it's scary#feminism tag#shipping discourse is so important#keep it alive#this stuff includes not wanting female characters to be romantically attached at all#which is a growing trend disguised as feminist but is really deeply puritanical

so, do I look like her?
okay this is either true and understandable, insane, or like āum theres a w2h blog ask already talking about thisā so let me tread lightly [full analysis under cut so i donāt scare people with a wall of text.. but like PLEASE READ!]
i feel like jonathan and jojo being the people sock has the closest relationships with (jojo being one of (if not literally) his only friend/s growing up, and jonathan being one of his only connections post death other than, well, his employer LOL) is crazy, especially since they are SO SIMILAR! ā¦ IN MY EYES!
like visually? yeah, blond hair, blue eyes, white undershirt in primary design, both kind of a symmetry w/ jonathans middle part and jojoās pigtails.
their names? both Jo- names, WITH Nās, an account of jojoās full firstname being joane. [jonathan and joane? that had to be on purpose like come ON!] And their personalities, while definitely different (jonathans described as apathetic, and well, jojo cares very violently about a lot of things) they both are tough to break into, kinda making it hard for anyone to connect positively w/ them on a deeper level
idk, maybe it was very on purpose to give sock a past relationship where he mightve* accidentally had a direct connection to their death, and a new relationship where he has to purposefully have an indirect connection to their death. like DAMN! maybe this is socks eternal punishment, cause id go crazy..
(* emphasis on mightve because im pretty sure sock and jojos full backstory isnt set in stone, but @/welcometohellfilm has talked about possibilities of sock being indirectly linked to jojos death, or setting off a chain of events to cause it unknowingly, in the past. which i thought was interesting!!!)
#inspired by Like Him by Tyler The Creator obviouslyyyyy#banger song but that has caused so much damage to fandom spaces#every post using that song has shot my in the face /pos#welcome to hell film#welcome to hell#welcome to hell fanart#w2h#w2h fanart#w2h film#w2h2#w2h jonathan#w2h jojo#w2h sock#jonathan combs#oh my damn jojo doesnt have a last name im so sorry girl only 1 tag for uā¦#sock sowachowski#welcome to hell jonathan#welcome to hell jojo#welcome to hell sock#instagram is tearing this fucking posts to shreds over there LMFAO#and the most liked comment is me explaining who jojo is like OKAY SHOW OF HANDS who fucks w jojo like be srs rn

I've started noticing content warnings start popping up more frequently in the front of published books, and I'm curious as to people's thoughts on that. So, poll time!
#for my part I dislike them for entirely unfair reasons#I understand how they're a useful tool and even appreciate them in internet spaces#but when I see them in mainstream published books it feels like crossing the streams#which makes me assume the writer has BEEN in those internet spaces#and then I start to worry that the presence of the content warning page#suggests that they're going to be self-reflexively defensive about their book's dark content#after suffering through the trenches of fandom spaces#and that the book may be less. idk. honest about things#kneejerk and unfair of me I know

#Fandom#Baldur's Gate 3#Dragon Age#Cyberpunk 2077#< putting it in the tag since whole fandom war started cause people couldn't block OR handle a block like adults so y'know fuck it#There's nothing shameful about using the block button to curate your space#taking care of your online space is taking care of your mental health#realizing someone's content - regardless of what it is - isn't good for you and dealing with it with the available tools IS mature#if you mock someone for doing so you're a piece of shit at best and lowkey ableist at worst#special Fuck You to people who start wholass witch hunt over it - it's fucking pathetic and says more about you than whoever blocked you

Ok, look at me real quick because I'm tired of explaning this to full grown adults. You can NOT support generative AI and still claim to care about artists and writers in the fandoms you participate in. So that means if you spout pro generative AI rhetoric, and it gets you ostracized that is NOT the community or fandom being unfair or cruel to you. That is simply the conciquences of your own actions. Full stop.
#most of yall know this perfectly well and I love you for that.#please note that does not mean we go around bullying and threatening people who use AI.#that won't change their mind it will just give them a warped sense of justification.#block them and move on#because you know what hurts them worse then yelling at them?#making it so they cant see or interact with the real artist's who sustain these spaces.#It's a loanly world for those who choose to fuck around and find out.#fandom#stop ai#anti ai

i just had a vision. one of us!fiddauthor. good luck babe type shit. ford is with bill now but he still has these lingering feelings about fiddleford and how well he was treated then compared to with bill. he used to be treated like just a normal person and now heās all-powerful but all he wanted originally was to be normal. he didnāt want the world to see him as a freak and fiddleford is his gateway to the perfect life, but this is what he has to do to save his family. heās with bill now. just IMAGINE.
#vari posting#gravity falls#one of us au#fiddauthor#stanford pines#fiddleford mcgucket#billford#one of us au you will always be my favorite#literally the reason iām in fandom spaces at all#love it sm
