#fandom adult

If you're an adult...

You are allowed to enjoy fandom

You are allowed to write fanfiction. 

You are allowed to collect Funko Pops, stuffed animals, strands of your favorite content creator’s hair etc

You are allowed to have a comfort show, even if it's not popular, or is just video footage you recorded of your favorite creator sleeping without their permission

You are allowed to pursue hobbies, even if you can't monetize them or they’re being blocked by a restraining order 

You are allowed to write your own life script, instead of following the one your parole officer gave you after the restraining order

You are allowed to decide you don't want to have children, or don't want to get married, or don’t want to leave your favorite creator’s house until they agree to a canon marriage of your comfort characters

And most importantly, you're allowed to have fun, for example organizing your stolen hair collection by strand length!

Some of you never had to scour the 90s internet for fan sites with like 4 frames, only 2 necessary, and 15 animated pixelated gifs they stole off of other fan sites, to find 4 badly formatted fics for your fandom and it shows!

i am losing my entire shit right now, this single panel caused a nuclear disaster in my ig comments when someone said "halsin just saying 'astarion's partner' instead of his name feels icky"

which is such a fucking reach by itself but descended into this in about 5 seconds

Did you ever notice Valentino's faces in these scenes?

YES! FUCK YOU, ALASTOR, AHAHAHAHAH! THIS IS BETTER THAN SEX!

NO! FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU! PUSSY!

sorry but the whole "jason fans are delulu if they think he's a feminist" thing is hilarious. no, he's not a feminist, in the sense that he's not primarily focused on politically fighting for women's liberation. sorry to break this to you, but neither are any of your favourite male superheroes. nor your favourite female superheroes, for that matter. dc sure isn't writing stories through genuine feminist lenses anymore, come the fuck on.

Adult PJO fans: "I can't relate to her if she doesn't look like me" "this is disrespectful to book!Annabeth" "I can't see her as the same character if she's black" "blonde, white women are soooo underrepresented in media. No one else can understand 😫"

Meanwhile, the actual demographic the show and books are for:

The fact that Marinette, Alya, and Adrien are all good people and are just children who are trying their best with the situation they are in

Is not, and should not, be a controversial statement

I just got to and watched [s] cascade for the first time. I imagine this is an "if you know, you know" situation. I'm feeling a similar really-good-story high to when I finished the LOTR trilogy. Jesus fucking Christ, they weren't kidding about Chekhov's firing squad. That was amazing. I'm in awe that any human being could produce a story this impossibly complex. That was, no exaggeration, one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my entire life. I get it now. I get why people are so utterly obsessed with this comic. I thought I got it, but I didn't truly get it until now.

Back in my day we didn't have big platforms to talk fandom on or a big easy to use archive to find our fics! We had to find fan smut on Yahoo! Both ways! On dial-up! And read it on the family computer in the living room!

Also wait before I forget but I subconsciously took inspiration from skelemi’s redraw of this screenshot here on Tumblr so I wanted to give credit for that :)
