#i blame fandom for how i am

[frikennerd]

I dont need a romantic partner. I need a life long partner that transcends typical platonic relations, while still being entirely platonic, and leaves the viewers feeling queer-baited

“I want you to stay with me, because you want to. Only if you want to”

also a version with strings:

OG:

Everybody raving about the “I didn’t realize you think sow low of me” while I’m still obsessing abt this

edit: forgot to add the second ver. so adding it in now

The lack of media literalicy and victim blaming is really bad in this fandom when even the people who claim to love Ford so much are fucking victim blaming him

[aadmelioraa]

When your oldest brother dies on a religious crusade just as you feared he would and your father refuses to deal with his grief just as he refused to deal with it when your mother died (you were a baby btw) and then again when your other brother left home (because your dad was impossible to live with) and in spite of feeling entirely abandoned by your dad you use your newfound higher status to put yourself out on a limb in order to downgrade his punishment and that of your close friend despite grieving their involvement with the queen who led your brother to his death but instead of your father acknowledging your pain and your attempts to do what you believe will bring justice he lashes out at you by comparing your current position to the horrific way your mother died…just Eärien things

Taps cheek. Must confess I feel like some people haven't been approaching the fandom the way I have, and I am sorely realizing this now.

Y'all, the VAs here see you. If you are publically posting hate about a character–especially in the main tags or in their inbox–there is a very real chance that the person who plays that character will see you. They are not disconnected entities that hover above everything in their own fandom, they engage in it. They have strong feelings about their own characters too, they made them. And everyone being excessively foul about them and their character is not the kinda takeaway they wanna see!!

So. Perhaps. It would be more constructive for people to either learn to be nicer or to just shut up if I'm being quite honest.

"Two months ago we opened up the gate.." this is an insane line of logic honestly. And I'm wondering if it's just an insane leap of logic that the writers made regarding the situation, rather than just Dean and Sam's guilt complexes.

Hmm I apologize again for the rant !

It is not the first time I am doing it. I might forgot to put "please don't tag it as ship" under my drawing of tighnari cyno. Please, do not !

I love them as best friend, I love them as brother/found family, I don't mind the queerplatonic relationship at all

But their romantic side make me pretty uncomfortable. No hate ! It is my own taste.

Shippers are always welcomed and I am so glad you like my content 💕 but all my art concerning them (unless I tag the ship) are purely platonic. I just ask for some respect of my taste and not reblog my art with the ship tag.

I don't want to block, because I am genuinely glad you enjoy my work and as a young artist, it means a lot for me. Thank you so much 🙇 !! But as a human, I can't deny how uneasy it makes me feel.

Thank you for understanding !

Do you think that Ahkmenrah blames himself for the 54 years he spent locked up at the Natural History Museum?

Does he think that he must have done something to anger the gods in order for them to punish him like this. He didn't honor them well enough, maybe. Or maybe they were angry that he had told Egyptologists at Cambridge about them, was it hearsay to tell stories of the gods to people who believed them only to be fiction. Did he say something incorrect, perhaps, misleading in a way that left him needing punishment.

He had to have done something. He's just not sure what.

But Ahkmenrah knows he has to figure it out quickly. The gods may have sent Larry to free him as a second chance, but something like that must come with a time limit.

And if Ahk found himself locked up again, he isn't quite sure he would be able to make it out the other side whole.

Lately I've only been wishing to grab a comic about my favorite character and just have a genuinely good time reading it.

[al-luviec]

still haven't moved on from zane in this episode (aka I hit tag limit again and am unhappy about it)

[survivalove]

imagine being this mad because your favorite character isn’t the fan favorite lmao, Zuko was just objectively a better written and more interesting character than Aang. like, you realize this isn’t really about ships, it’s about the fact that no matter how much bs you project onto Aang, he’s still just not as compelling of a character (now go ahead and play the race card again hun I know you wanna even tho we both know what you’re about) ✌🏾

I can’t possibly know what you’re mad at since I haven’t posted anything in like a week?

but yeah if arcs about racist entitled losers sitting on colonial thrones in the end is what you find interesting and compelling, great for you! was saying race card like a karen, calling me hun or using a brown hand emoji while being conveniently anonymous supposed to intimidate me?

in fact, this fandom in general seems to be quite racist and imperialistic as well so I’m not too bothered by your tastes or what the likes of you have to say about any of my favorite characters. (also idk why you wrote this as if my favorite character is aang 😭 if you had stalked me better, you’d know who my 2 favorite characters are)

but since this is about aang, all the anonymous asks and bad fandom takes in the universe won’t change the fact that he is the main character, he is the one with the most impact on every other character’s development (especially that tired redemption trope) and he is the most recognizable and iconic character in the entire franchise and animation in general tbh 🤷🏿‍♀️

you can keep talking about shippers and projection or whatever it is you could possibly be referring to and neither the facts nor my opinions will be changing.

which is unfortunate for you, since my dislike of the fandom’s baby uwu colonizer seems to be haunting you.

[squuote]

man not to be that guy but like. if I gotta see or hear someone say the fandom is bad one more time I might just kill someone. and then kill someone again. just make an analysis post or idk do something fun and fucking shut uuup ohmy god

[toothbrushfingers]

help i’ve started saying “oh my gods” and “oh thor” unironically again

'this is like wanting your kid to get better by yelling at them and hitting them… you know it won't change/fix anything.'

EXACTLY I have been saying this for so long!! it's not gonna work and it's just gonna make everything worse. it's not a form of activism to just bully people until they conform to what you want; humans are autonomous people capable of choosing good, and like. we could be in the fandom of another band that doesn't even try, whose fans have given up on them and are just there for the music and the drama, but it's like the minute they do try to do something good they have to do activism a certain way and it almost becomes a kind of purity culture and purity culture is famously about control and not good for anyone.

but it's also people trying to be funny in the comments with thinly veiled frustrations that come out as insults about their appearance (which especially gets to me bc like. does body positivity stop if you're famous? or are they just idealised figures/bodies/personalities for us to look at and pretend our bodies don't change over time and we don't like it when they remind us that they actually do?) or their partners or how they express themselves. and it's the aura of entitlement that erodes their right to autonomy and individuality that gets me, not only because the way we get the creative music they make is them expressing that.

anyway i do think we as a fandom can do better and i want to attempt to start a conversation about that rather than trying to call people out in the comments. still thinking of how. there's a lot of people in the fandom who are struggling and exasperated with life and relate to their songs and the pressure has to come out somewhere; it ends up being in comments they feel like won't ever be seen except for by people who agree with them, at people who seem to far away and too big to ever see getting hurt by their comments. at least that's what I assume happens. but yes, they were bullying a cat

I agree with everything...

Was it always like this? It can't be because this is too much, none of the hate was on me and I couldn't take it, I wonder how the guys (or any celebrity) feels, being judged about the tiniest move you do, it's crazy I would totally lose my mind.

That's not how life is... yes I would love to be a fan of good people but if the gf/partner of the artist you're a fan of is bad and their friends are bad what does that make them? Maybe it's on you, maybe YOU should pick better idk 😭.
