Spock was one of the OG aroace characters and somehow we just. Never acknowledge that. Spock is so screamingly aroace-coded but when we talk about TOS from a queer perspective all we talk about is K/S shipping culture

and then the reboot movies fucking allowashed him

You KNOWWW you’re in fandom hell when you start practically becoming a historian on the topic you’re interested in. I’m talking digging as far as the nine circles for information. Sometimes I’ll find myself scrolling through fandom wiki for hours being like “wow I can’t believe there’s a 9.5 foot tall muppet named thog!” Or something along those lines, and then I get really embarrassed because I realize nobody has cared about the topic for well over 30 years.

Everybody's like...."Omg Rip x Beth are goals / ultimate TV western couple!"

I'm over here like.... Have y'all not seen Wynonna Earp on Syfy? Wynonna x Doc are way more goal-able. Way better in my honest opinion.

You know how mature people deal with others not shipping their ship? They utilise the block function and move on.

Like I'm pretty sure I have a few followers who don't ship my otps, and you know what they're not doing? They ain't coming into my inbox sending me hate. And as for me, well many of the people I follow have ships I dislike (sometimes damn well hate) and you know what I do? Block the fucking tag and leave them to their fun,

And what about the people I don't follow...well, i don't follow them so what doesn't matter.

Well, TikTok was serving as my fictional boyfriend outlet - so my blog may revert back to a multifandom mess. I only half apologize ♡

when you check out the fandom tag on ao3 and go "yo, what the fuck"

Gravity Falls AU where Dipper is trans and his chosen name is Tyrone, getting the legal paperwork/ids to reflect that.

While I think it's sweet for a Cis!Dipper to learn to appreciate his birth name Trans!Dipper is 100% a Tyrone.

The reason I say AU is because I absolutely love the Trans!Dipper headcanon but I don't think it exactly works canonically. THAT BEING SAID content with a Trans!Dipper as well as a Trans!Grunkle Stan is amazing.

"but i NEED to use AI chat bots bc i can't write and no one will RP with me! :(" Your cringeworthy desire to sext with your ugly-ass anime fave will never be more important than the writers whose hard work and creativity were stolen by capitalist tech bros

[kawareo]

"Imagine still posting fanart a whole year after the game came out" brother what are you talking about

[some-pers0n]

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

You have to submit the essay to 12 different aros and if even one of them doesn't like it, you don't get the ship

my take on shipping aromantic characters is that if you're aro you get to do whatever you want and if you're not you have to write me a three page essay 12 pt font times new roman double spaced explaining in detail why you believe entering a romantic relationship would be an interesting and worthwhile storyline for the character and how you believe their aromanticism would affect the way they experience said relationship
