geuine question but have you ever been in like proper fandom like not as a creator within it like in lifesteal but as someone who interacts and lurks w ur interests (so getting interested in fandom discussions like character analysis or smth lik that..) asking bc im genuinely curious on whether or not this may also have influences in how you make your stuff in storytelling or whatever (in the sense that artists get inspo from their fixations a lot so your own interets do smth within that vein)

well I’m really into one piece as more of a lurker than anything but I’ve reblogged quite a bit of stuff recently just cuz I love it and it’s funny or cool.

I used to a lurk in a ton of DSMP streams as well, I started out as a YouTube frog but then started watching all of Tommy’s vods starting at their election arc. It was super cool and I stuck with it up until like the big final battle with the endgame type moment. By then I’d already been streaming like Hypixel and stuff for a few months maybe so idk if that counts.

lastly I was super into undertale in 2015 and I spoke about this on stream but I had an amino account and use to engage with people all the time. I think I was super into that one like I watched all kinds of shitposts and stuff and I might’ve even had my own text posts despite none of them being funny or interesting. I even made videos of my own about undertale with like animated fights they were actually pretty cool and well made for someone who was like 11 or so. But yeah funny little fandom guy that’s me!

*Season 2 spoilers!! Proceed at your own peril!!!*

I love how between S1 and S2 (The Dark Ages) we thought the Ed/Stede reunion was gonna be like all angsty in the rain with Ed stabbing Stede on the wrong (or right) side and Ed going feral over Stede’s body and kissing and crying and Ed getting mad about why Stede left and there are all these AMAZING fics about it but no instead the canon is just lesbian pirates and then Ed wears a bell like a cat and then they KISS

God bless the writers of this show.

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

reblog for a bigger sample size if you feel like it

Yes, I want to be his neighbor. Of course I want to be the stripper at the club he owns. I want to be his fated omega. I want to be his co-worker. I want to be his doctor, his arranged wife, his enemy, his childhood friend, his kid’s babysitter, his girlfriend, his wife, his ex-wife, his barista, his soulmate, his strange cryptid, his favorite blood bag, his divorce attorney, his pr relationship, his boss, his secretary, his sugar baby, his... I think you get the point.

In all universes, physical forms, and realities, I want that man.

"i was born in the wrong generation" I wasn't. i love existing at the same time as fan culture. i love knowing I can make a post saying "character a wears big ass pants and is obsessed with character b's thighs" and fifty percent of people are gonna agree with me while the other half call me a dumb bitch because of it. it's great.

Whenever I’m trying to sell my friends on tlt I mention the amazing fandom. It really is nearly perfect.

When you have such a confusing book series with insane references and layers, basically every character is a lesbian, and it’s so obviously written by a queer person with queer experiences, it’s gonna make a unique fandom. With a main demographic being adult lesbians who are big readers. Bc of this I constantly refer to tlt fandom as “no one’s first fandom”.

(Generalizing here but) fanfics is tagged properly, the art is practiced and beautiful, and my favorite, the pure amount of well thought out literary analysis of everything. People come on here and offer their thoughts, knowledge or references, and genuine analyses of topics from how does gender work to the layers of codependency, to how culture got wiped out by Jod and the effects.

Anyway this has been my love letter to tlt fandom, we really are just a bunch of nerds.

i love that viktor is czech i love everything about it. my favourtie is when jayvik people make him call jayce a "dobrý chlapec" because they used google translate i love you so much everybody.....

a little guide on calling jayce a "good boy" in czech: "dobrý chlapec" is kinda like calling him a "sensible young man" skjdfh. "dobrý" is a very literal translation of "good", its use is like "good day, everybody", not like "a well-behaved dog". "chlapec" is super formal, it's like how heimerdinger calls people "my boy", not like anything familial or intimate.

you might want to probably use "hodný kluk", literally translating to "kind boy" or "nice boy", closer to what we use for praise. (a more casual version is "hodnej kluk", as i can't imagine they'd use formal czech in the lanes.) he could even just say "hodný"/"hodnej", as we often use just the adjective for nicknames and such. (if you ever see a slavic character call someone "hey, [adjective] one!" that's what that is, english is weird with this aslkh)

that being said: there is nothing wrong with using google translate!!! it's incredibly sweet nonetheless, i really don't mind any mistakes ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ i grew up learning english in fandom so i know first hand how hard it is :]

"MelJayVik can never work."

Just say you're weak and you hate challenges. 🙄

Also, what challenge? The SECOND Mel understood just how much Jayce cared about Viktor, she was LOCKED IN. My girl had no hesitation.

"We will find Viktor." "Don't worry Jayce, he will come back to us."

Don't play with my girl Mel, her mother is Ambessa, the flexibility was built into her genes. 💀🔥

Do you guys ever have fandoms-in-law??? Like I'm not a part of the fandom, I've never read it/watched it, but it's so closely associated with some of my fave fandoms that when it's trending it's all over my dash even though I don't even follow the tag???

[youling-the-ghost]

Gosh I love small fandoms where everyone is equally insane and everyone's just making references to the source material.

Like, I can go "y'all I just saw a badger, I sure hope he doesn't become King of England" and everyone will get what I'm talking about while people who aren't in the fandom are confused as shit.
