#even outside of fandom

[vanmarkus]

i know i should be posting week two of my pride set today but i am so not in the mood to make anything... all this continuous effort being put into hating a gay character for no reason is really dragging my mood down, even though I know it's coming from kids half the age of the actors who have been chronically online since they've been born and never been socialised properly thanks to covid... it stills annoys the shit out of me ngl

The feds propoganda trying to paint the islanders as the bad guys for pressing the island destroying button... girl why was there an island destroying button in the first place!!!

Guys please this post is about a fictional minecraft roleplay server. Hawaii has not been bombed. I am a mere fandom blog. This post has no relevance to real life events.

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

"I can't believe CDPR made one of the romance options a COP" River is a cop for literally two thirds of a mission that is dedicated to uncovering the depths of police corruption in Night City, gets immediately booted from the force BECAUSE he tried to stand up to said police corruption, spends the rest of the game pursuing detective work outside the law, and in the base game mentions he's going to start work as a private eye so he doesn't have to return to the force in order to keep protecting people.

The only instance where the "River is a Cop" joke is funny is using it in the context of Johnny being pissy about it, which should probably tell you how low hanging that particular fruit probably is.

less steve harrington "i try to be a good guy despite my past" and more steve harrington "i've always been a good person (albeit probs annoying asf), you just stereotyped me based on my interest in sports"

rip to anyone thinking the show has nothing left to give like did you not listen to djenks when he said he has a 3 series arc in mind, did you not see ed gazing at stede during lucius and pete’s wedding because that man wants to put a ring on it so bad, were you not there when zheng very loudly said she wants to find ricky and kill him for what he did, do you think they can just slaughter a dozen british and escape by the skin of their teeth and that be the end of it? there is still a giant fucking looming threat to the pirates and it will absolutely extend to ed and stede’s ramshackle inn whether they think they’ve truly retired or not (not to mention the new conflicts they’ll face trying to get this new venture up and running, that will be a sitcom in of itself). anyway revenge is still on the water and i don’t just mean the ship and i cannot wait to see how it all goes down. praying we actually get to.

y’all aren’t ready for the full essay i could write on the misogyny and racism in this fandom. wdym you hate cherry and blame her for bobs actions. wdym you hate bev for burning two bit when the guys also jumped him. wdym you draw all the musical versions of the outsiders but keep dally white. what do y’all MEANNNNNNNNNNNNNN

*double checks that i have "18+ preferred" in my bio* at a certain point the obsession in fandom to portray every male romantic interest as a super sexually proficient daddy dom top does start to make me think that maybe people don't see sex as a mutual activity, but rather as a period where they are completely passive while a fantasy object Does Sex To Them

I know you made that post a while ago but actually imagining myself from an alien perspective makes me feel more confident about my body. Bots who hate humans probably wouldn't care, we're all same for them and they'd think we're complicating ourselves with this. But those fascinated with humanity wouldn't think anyone is ugly and instead be amazed at how differently developed we are. Looking at myself from a perspective of a big excited cybertronian scientist is much better than looking at myself through the prism what people want me to look like. I am human and that's amazing, this is the most important thing

Oh fucking absolutely.

I generally like to think Cybertronians would see us the way we see snails: small, fragile, disconcertingly sticky and soft, with hard structures in weird places, and it leaves them divided on whether we're cute or just kinda gross.

But even if you DO think they're gross, like. You ever seen an ugly snail? Of course not. Because we don't look at them like that, we aren't paying attention to if theyre too fat or too scrawny or if their eyestalks are too short or if their shell's not a good color. They just look like snails. None of it looks "wrong" unless they're, like, injured or something.

And to those that think us cute, they're not going to see the inherent variation in our species as anything but beautiful. How wonderful it is to be a soft little creature with traits that are uniquely mine, and how wonderful it'd be for an alien to study every variation I have with nothing but love in their spark.

i think the thing i'm most disappointed about with riordanverse fandom now versus like 2014 is not only has the fandom not gotten any less racist or queerphobic or ableist (in fact in some regards its gotten worse!) but now it's just boring too. like there's no fandom infrastructure anymore - the community these days is almost entirely source material-driven - and you deviate from canon even slightly people get weird about it. whatever happened to the post-HoO fanon boom. the fandom needs to get weirder again. and self-sufficient. and less offensive.

i admit i'm kinda tempted by that mashcast announcement calling for guest speakers... but i SHAN'T!! i would have no coherent insight to offer. i would just pick a mulcahy episode and then yap about mulcahy-as-symbol. i have thoughts. THOUGHTS I TELLS YA.

mashcast crew if you're seeing this you call me if you ever want to record a podcast one-off that isn't focused on any particular episode and is instead just a bunch of highfalutin navelgazing about characters as personifications of sociological concepts moreso than as realized persons acting independently and the ways in which the minutiae of their interactions reflect broader trends, pressures, and agendas, such as mulcahy being used semivoluntarily by both the church and military as something halfway between window dressing and a sacrifical lamb to [A CANE DRAGS ME OFFSTAGE]
