#everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[haircoveredwriter]

What positive Carylers are not:

Naive/delusional

Sunshine and rainbow Positive Polly’s who see everything as glass half full people (trust me, that doesn’t describe me in ANY way lol)

Someone who must not have watched the entire series.

Stans for any particular character & pretending certain plot lines didn’t happen, because SHOCKER, 90% don’t like/love all aspects of the storylines.

What they are:

Regular people whom through their own personal experiences and POVs use critical thinking to come to a conclusion about how they see things/what things mean.

Shippers as much as anyone else even though they don’t agree or follow along with a cause.

Individuals who are entitled to have & share their feelings publicly without being told moments later in comments/tags/reshares/anonymous posts how they are wrong. (Don’t her me wrong, healthy debate is great when that is the actual intended purpose)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; not one has to agree on everything and it goes both ways. We should let people have their feeling’s without needing to insert our own. There’s enough toxicity in the world as it is. If you need to bolster your own opinion by putting someone else’s down, was yours really that strong?

why am i seeing so many hateful posts about a bunch of super cool retellings??

i personally like a bunch of greek mythology retellings. it makes me kinda sad seeing people hate basically everything i like

retellings are of greek mythology. mythology. we can’t be like “no, we don’t follow the mythology!! that’s not what the gods are really like!!” and then get all offended when other people use it. we don’t want it, right?? so why are people getting pissed that people are using the mythology and making retellings of it??

yeah, i don’t like how the gods are portrayed in percy jackson, but it’s a retelling of the mythology and it’s not even supposed to be close to realistic. yeah, i don’t like how epic isn’t super true to the odyssey, but it’s also a retelling of the odyssey that jorge has said is supposed to be very video game/anime based and he’s even made videos talking about how epic should not be referenced as a reliable source because it’s a retelling. yeah, i don’t like some character portrayals in madeline millers books, but they’re retellings based off of the mythology.

they are retellings of greek mythology, not hellenism.

if you don’t like that content, instead of checking it every few weeks, stop interacting with it. don’t want to hear about epic the musical? avoid it. don’t want to see more of what madeline miller wrote? set down the book. don’t want to hear the pjo gods be talked poorly about? stop interacting with posts that talk about it. it’s not for you.

idk. this is just my opinion. everyone is entitled to their own opinions and i can’t change those. but just remember to be kind and respectful. what you’re insulting is something that a lot of people enjoy, it’s something that someone put a lot of effort into making and is proud about.

say what you wish, but try to be empathetic first. try to understand where other people are coming from and how, maybe, they aren’t trying to offend you. maybe we all just need to learn and grow a bit. idk though, just my thoughts.

(if i could verbally say everything in this post, none of it would’ve been said in an angry tone. i just want to make sure this doesn’t come across as me being mad or anything)

Just a little perspective/opinion regarding whether or not N will be forced to admit who she’s dating (from a long-time Harry Styles stan who has only, in recent history, labeled one relationship publicly): It largely depends on her chosen marketing strategy.

In the early days of 1D, Harry used social media much like N does — charismatic persona, joke around, keep connected/engaged with fans. However, the more people insisted on crossing his boundaries, the more he drew the line (he no longer uses social media now, unless he’s touring, and never in a personal capacity) and the more he learned to swerve questions on his personal life.

Did that hurt his popularity with the fanbase? Mixed reviews. Some people feel it alienated him, some people feel it’s fine — essentially, it depends on how much you appreciate his raw material (music) versus having access to him as a fantasy boyfriend (a lot of his fanbase values this more).

What I’m saying is, it’s not impossible for N to stay popular whilst peeling back on social media/keeping mum about her dating life, but the fact that her draw is both that she’s talented and accessible/relatable/unbelievably charismatic, a very obvious choice will have to be made on whether she continues to ‘entertain’ the fandom at the expense of her privacy, or shuts it off completely and decides she’s ‘just’ an actress when on duty.

And yes, fans are going to turn on her if she decides the latter (fans who feel entitled to things never take boundary setting very well), but it will eventually die down. What will matter is that she stays consistent in her decision (so fans know what they will get/not get from her) and not go back and forth. I believe she’s working on making that decision now.

Ultimately she has a career to protect in this as well, one she’s worked hard to get. Fans are not at the top of the list here. We are not what’s most important even though some truly believe they take precedence over everything.

If Nicola decides to pull way back, it will probably be based on what’s best for her own mental health and career over what her fans want which is how it should be.

Everyone should respect that decision as well even though we know there a few who think they’re “friends” with her or “have a rapport” with her after meeting her a hand full of times.

We’re just going to have to wait and see what happens.

Okay- so I've seen SHB (super horror bro) do a review of the new Bendy content we got today, and I've recorded it with my friends as well. I've also seen a few other opinions and I'm gonna give mine:

First of all, this new content was sort of a game? Very unfinished and I think the point was to showcase more of what was to come with a tease and some game announcements.

I will agree with Halfusek on this: Mike Mood is a cunt and definitely kept this unfinished on purpose because he's a bitter bitch about the fans and all the data miners and theorists

However, I think TheMeatly is trying his hardest to keep people in the fandom happy with new games and fresh ideas. I'm very excited for B3NDY and Silent City personally, because I want to know more about GENT and their role in making Bendy and Dudley and the colored ink. It's all too shrouded for it not to be suspicious.

I liked what we got, because it'll hold us over until THE CAGE comes out and it keeps us on our toes. Just because something was a flop now doesn't mean the future content will flop. We just have to have patience and see what happens.

No matter what, I am staying in this fandom. This is a home to me and where I met all the friends I've come to know and love. I have my au's, I have my characters, and no one's opinion is gonna change that no matter how large of an icon they are in a fandom.

TLDR: The new content was a little underwhelming, but we have new games to look forward to. I will remain in the fandom despite harsh opinions from others.

wooooooo jeez the water works chapters 47-50 of ACOSF (the hike with Cassian and Nesta) really hit home. I didn’t expect a silly smutty book to make me sob, shake, and shit my pants but here I am

[lcandothisallday]

Yea I understand. I love the fics but a little part of me says Jack don’t hit the same no more bc the obsession is turning into that parasocial thing. Idk if this make sense but I’m at the point where I wish I didn’t become a fan bc I know too much and get jealous

can i be honest? i think the best thing i could’ve possibly done to get rid of this problem myself was stop writing fics and to stop reading them for the most part too. especially when writing/reading reader insert fics, your body and brain truly begins to react to the events/plot of the fic and you almost begin to feel entitlement towards the person. so jealousy and anxiety comes easier in that regard. because it becomes so personal without you truly realizing. getting constant updates from update accounts too pushes you deeper into this never ending hole. trying to distance yourself a bit would probably be beneficial because you can then appreciate him as an artist and the content he produces and that only so you can go back to being just a fan of his rather than a stan. also please prioritize your own life more! you deserve to focus on yourself and reality because then you’re able to distance from that parasocial relationship you’ve established.

i could honestly write a whole ass essay on this topic to be honest lol. i think that’s why if I do get into writing again, it’ll be concepts and not full on fics

Everyone is hating but I actually like the Wish songs so far.

[emmyspov]

omg the comments under the latest pic that was posted by the rop instagram account has my blood boiling again. do these people have too much free time???

if you don't like the show don't. fucking. watch it. literally no one is forcing you to watch it.

don't go around spreading hate, don't bully the cast and crew - just move on with your life. don't take the joy away from people who do love it

[amorettopedri]

legit if I were to engage with think pieces about pedrigavi friendship, it would be a long ride lol.

[terryblethings]

I’m not into Stellar Firma but whilst shopping around the fandom tags I saw there was hate for my absolute G - A.L.E.X.

@lego-block-man raised the idea of holograms for the AIs before so I made my very own A.L.E.X hologram because he’s my special little guy.

Any other A.L.E.X fans please come say hi I wanna know i’m not alone

[noinfinity]

I just saw someone refer to a character from another series as Dean Winchester coded and I could not disagree more

[im-secretly-a-frog]

I understand where you're coming from, but the show is its own thing. I think you are the ones overlooking the main ideas of the books. The books aren't about being comedy, they're about being different.

The show doesn't take that away, and I think it actually enhances it. Annabeth and Grover are POC, and Percy is less typical ADHD (he's more inattentive than hyperactive).

And the show is funny. It's just a little closer to Gen Z humor rather than Millenial humor. And a bunch of the details that you probably want wouldn't work that well in the show without more explanation, and given that the book has to be condensed, some things have to be left out.

I might not have articulated this very well, but I think I've gotten my point across.

Rick Riordan constantly trashing the movies for not sticking to his books then releasing a show in which he rewrites everything and loses the spirit of the books entirely
