#fandoms are what they are

[ilovereadingandstuff]

Was scrolling through Pinterest to find a god Lu Guang picture to draw him and cross my view this image here:

And i ask myself: WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

BRO! In this point in my life I GENUINELY don't give a fuck about fandoms and people having an opinion on which fandoms i'm part of.

Yes, bnha fandom is kinda weird from time to time (a bit too often maybe), but i just avoid the bullshit and continue enjoying the show, because that's why i'm here: THE SHOW ITSELF!! If it's needed, i restrain myself from social forums about certain fandoms or go to another ones for a bit to let slide the shit that can go crazy in there AND THAT'S IT!!

I understand why bnha fandom is considered problematic and whatever, but WHY IS HAS TO BE SO MUCH, BRO?!?! every godamn person i tell irl that i like bnha, is like 'that show wtih the toxic fandom?' and WHY IT HAS TO BE LIKE THAT!?!?!?

EVERY FANDOM HAS THEIR WERID SIDE!!

I'm pretty sure there's more fandoms with ship wars, with weird stuff, with rational fans and weird ones!!!

BUT WHY BULLY US SO MUCH BRO?!?!?!

just like when i was part of the Miraculous fandom!!! yes, it's a dark side from when i was too young to be aware of the disaster that it is of a series as a whole, but i also don't critize the people who still enjoy it!!!

THE FANDOM IS THE FANDOM!! A group of people for any part of the world who enjoys a series in specific and share their love for it in different ways, with some of the fans being as repulsive as to bully the authors, sending threats to other fans, etc, because THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE!! FROM THE REAL WORLD, AND THIS WORLD IS FUCKED UP IN MANY WAYS!! anyone is perfect, much less in reality!! so yeah.

bnha is integrated by many fans who analyse and critize (both in positive and negative ways) the manga/anime, people who makes theorists, people who draw, paint, make cosplay, etc AND people who ship characters, who send threats to one another, who throw bullshit to Hori just for existing...

And that's the same to any other fandom, MAYBE in different proportions, maybe that's why the bnha is critize so much, because the weird fans stand up MORE than the others, but still...we're all the same.

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

[wdapteo]

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!

Story of my life

[idoodlestuffsometimes]

I need to share how the IT guy at work greeted my department on CrowdStrike Blue Screen Friday. Never have I seen a man so shocked by the sight of perfectly functional computers

(They were off during the update)

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

[hansoeii]

look at you, you're gorgeous!

[wardensantoineandevka]

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

[majoringinsarcasm]

DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON OLD FICS DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON FICS IN A FANDOM THE AUTHOR MAY NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN. IF THE STORY IS STILL UP LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMINDER THAT MAKES THEIR DAY.

SINCERELY SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT A REPLY THAT MADE ME WANNA MAKE THIS POST

[mroddmod]

they are like puppies. 2 me

[seenthisepisode]

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

we need all types of art in fandoms

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

No one believes you buddy

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.
