I really don't understand kelp idk if you've talked abt him before or not but it feels like there was a secret kelp lore meeting I wasn't invited to😭 how's he a kelpie what is kelpie in context of leviathantale is he skeleton or kelpie or both and also how and when n why and 😭😭😭😭

I’m so sorry 😂😭😭😭 one of the things I struggle with is juggling all these characters and making info accessible across platforms. I usually talk about Kelp on twt and discord 😂 please check out my ao3 in my pinned post! I have links to threads there too. Eventually I’ll try to get more organized but uhhhh 😂😂😂

Kelp is a landdweller! A local surface fisherman! That’s all he is (for now)

twt : @ sunnybutlame

the rest of this post is just yapping abt the fic,, so light spoilers for heat stroke!

ngl im super nervous posting this and idk why??(i do, its bc im tagging the author..)

anyway, i didnt think this fic would ever be finished as the months went on and rolled over into next year but then i got the email notification and nearly screamed(yes that is embarrassing to admit..)

i cant, and probably could never, fully explain the sheer amount of detail that zorn put into this fic(and also the other fic ive read from them, Tweetheart, which is my roman empire) youll get more insight, and far less rambling brain slurry from the recesses of my animal brain, if you read both the fic and the comments as discussions on there are far more introspective citing direct quotes from the fic also have great author feedback, the rest of this post is something i wanted to note

the fic is riddled with contrasting elements(im mostly focusing on chapter 2 when i say this as its fresh in my mind) like in the descriptors, monologue, and characterization. 

comparatively Grian’s and Scar’s characters are complete opposites, Grian’s invasive to intimacy and outright tries to deny it(trying to physically leave their house) while Scar is the one who initiates the intimacy and craves vulnerability(not saying Grian doesnt initiates anything between the two just that Scar is less repressed.)

a similar example of this is in the sex scenes, the inherent intimacy of sex and how Grian acts during(practically begging sometimes) is contradictory to his established character, standoffish(once again im directing you to the comments as lovely user sheepfriend and zorn have a great conversation further explaining Grian’s character better than i am) while Scar is so delightfully pathetic and almost takes a submissive role(??) which is against his confident demeanor throughout the fic(dunno know where else to mention this but i love the uses of dog imagery for Scar its just so good, mwah chef kiss)

 in Grian’s inner monologue he feels remorse when looking at the scars hes caused on Scar’s body but then later on, still in his inner monologue, revels in the fact that hes left his physical mark on Scar(again reading those comments from sheepfriend and zorn give far more insight) 

water and thirst is often used as a metaphor for desire in the more intimate scenes, "Water sidling up to the hard coast that is Scar’s body, the firm landing strip of bones.”, “He’s thirsty, he realizes, the withering curling need gathering on his tongue and down his throat.” this imagery is very contrasting to their environment, which is a desert, and also to the catalyst of the fic, Grian’s heat(in an etymologic sense rather than in the context of the fic)

theres in fact no thesis statement to this long post aside from the fact that zorn loves the use of contrast(thats the entirety of the 2cents i wanted to chip in,) but if you want a far better explanation of the insane rambling i just wrote i direct you to this lovely post by zorn from his blog ! i recommend if you havent read HEAT STROKE!(or Tweetheart because its good !!) you should read the fic first and then the post as it really puts the vibe you get throughout both fics into words❤︎︎❤︎︎

honestly zorn's writings have greatly influenced my writing and(when i first read Tweetheart) got me back into writing, their writing style is so good and is chalk-full of detail and care i truly cant recommend their works enough or put it into words(which is why this paragraph is so rambling,,)the sheer amount of creativity and detail in every aspect of his fics❤︎︎❤︎︎

also, didnt know where else to mention it, i love the way zorn writes Grian's and Scar's dynamic(like?? hellofjdkj???)

i have no idea if this makes any sense i havent slept in hours and its catching up to me,,.

[roakkaliha]

Yeah i met this one dude thru a wc server and he asked me to join his server n i was like sure and it was all pastel goth tbhk carrd twt furriers so you know shit was gonna be insane. Anyway i bought a 10$ custom from this dude he never finished n i was like ok 🙄 and he kept like approaching me to buy other shit but this was last year before i got my current job so i was making 10/hr AND my sister was asking me for cash (now estranged) upwards of like 50$ every few weeks so i was like dude im not buying a 200$ used fursuit from you fuck off. Anyway i just started screenshottimg every convo i had in that server bc they pissed me off and would also lie about things they said like 10 min prior so id cite my sources n ppl got SOOOOO mad. Anyway there was also obvs favoritism and like this one dude went so hard for White Guy Furry Using JPN Name despite having been kicked from his bpdpolycule it was whack. Anyway they were also fatphobic like crazy and had bad takes abt a certain trial last year which was fucking HILARIOUS bc id talk about a legal part of it and theyd be like "well idk anything about that but-" SHUT UP THENNNN . Anyway the guy was gonna commission a huge piece from me but i refused to continue past a concept till i was paid the first half. (More on that later). Hed also ghost whenever i called him on anything including his poor conflict resolution skills which then got me made a mod (????) . Anyway mod chat blew up after a minor misunderstanding turned into a bloodbath bc one mod thought one of the main guys Eff Pees broke a rule and i was like OKAY OKAY OKAY IM DOING MY FINALS CAN YOU CUNTS ACT GROWN so then me and other mod got demodded and the mod chat got nuked. (But i had screenshots :)). Anyway i get a dm later from sb who knew that other mod n was like heyyyyy btw those ppl scammed others out of both money and art (comming n then ghosting) do you have all the evidence of that and also where they accused me of being a pedophile. And i was like oh boy do i.

I didnt even think it was a scam thing or whatever these people were just such insufferable cunts i ended up cataloguing vital context to the buyer beware. #paralegalslay

So many good options for the art appreciation asks but let's go with 3, 4, 13, 14 and 27.

hi hi ner! thanks forda qs!! these are all prettie incharestinge!! (<-girlie who didn't know she'd be Yapping-Yapping)

3. and 4.) Go to [fandom] tag and reblog some art you like that has under 100 notes ++ Go to the art tag (or similar) and reblog some art you like that has under 100 notes

noted, i will undertake this mission with great care 🫡🫡

13. What are your go-to Ao3 filters?

ok i have a confession, i used to be a sort by word count++completed works only++exclude crossovers-kinda person 🤧🤧ANYWAY that was changed, now i only really exclude chat fics (ahaha,,,,theyre not really my go-to genre, like sure they're amusing but i read a really good one once* and it ruined every other chatfic for me)

*this one's for u haikyuu-natics, esp team captain stannies

hm.... i'm not super-duper picky so most of the time i can just scroll through each work's summary and tags.

but if a fandom is popular (or if i dont have the spoons for sifting through works), i stick to just reader inserts HAHAHA, maybe oc x canon if there haven't been any new x reader fics and if there's rlly nothing oough ig i have to write her myself 😭😭 sometimes doe, the curiosity strikes and i'll try looking if there are any fanfics in filipino... i really find it interesting to see how a chara's dialogue reads if theyre speaking in tagalog (tbh i think one would have more luck finding filo socmed aus on twt? but i only know about haikyuu socmed aus)

14. Best fanfic tropes ever?

oH...there are too many... u can't make me choose the best out of all my faves that's unfair 🥺jk lol

i read* this jamikali fic (i like my ships with a bit [read: a LOT] of tragedy/disaster-ness to them. it's so so so compelling to read!) and i just love the "Dubiously Unrequited Love" tag. bcs yes, the feelings are technically mutual, but there is a whole slew of other factors keeping the relationship from being a thing, which it could be a thing, but there's also that awareness that it won't last, sometimes a couple doesn't have to be endgame for the love to mean something, ykw?

this entire oneshot series....has me in a chokehold... my introduction to "Non-Sexual Intimacy" (and "Non-Sexual Nudity" i guess?) like??? holy shit??? the tension?? the way op just encapsulates the poignancy of being in such a vulnerable position without teetering too much into the cliche of roëmænce it has me On My Knees!! (like i love my smut and romance cliches, but some days i jus want a liiiitle bit more spice and variety)

Shoutout to the "Unreliable Narrator"++"Ambiguous Ending" combi that reaaaaally makes you work for understanding the plot, idk how to word it but being able to leave Just Enough Breadcrumbs and having enough trust in your readers to Get what ur implying, also forcing me to reread the fic immediately is so foul (in a good way). like there's an enjoyment in a good satisfying read, and then there's the Itch of never being sure in your interpretation, the feeling that u just need to go over it another time, spot another detail u missed, get wrecked all over again, rinse and repeat. idk i love fic.

27. If someone wanted to make you a creative gift, what's the thing that would make you the happiest?

oh anything featuring my fave charas is sure to make me happy! i mean i'm just not super picky abt gifts. well, maybe a creative gift has to be smth that can last a long while? (a strong hoard-ability kaya idk im senti??)

as long as the thought and intent was there, i'm already happy enough🥰💕💕 but i guess in the context of getting fic gifted to you, probably what matters most to me is that the writer enjoyed the process of making it as well. (i'm kinda drawing off of my experience writing this fic for one of m'oomfies and the vdays drabbles*** so i could be just rambling who knows?**)

(art appreciation ask questions, please bug me to rb some underrated art and fic)

[mayday505]

scrolling through bsd tumblr and seeing people making theories abt why bones animated xyz light novels in the order they did and squinting bc i thought it was obvious they did it for context reasons.

Like Dark Era was animated in the beginning of season 2 because thats when Ango enters the story, and if the viewer didnt have the added context of what happened w buraiha trio then Dazai's reaction to Ango (crashing his car and holding him at gunpoint) wouldn't make sense. And it gives us more understanding of Dazai as a character in a season he was given more focus and depth compared to the rest of the cast bar maybe Atsushi and Kyouka.

Again, 15 was animated in season 3 to give context of the relationship between Dazai and Chuuya post the dungeon scene in s2 ep9 which was chuuyas introduction, because once again, the two had a significant focus in later s3 episodes and without that added context, that episode would've felt somewhat shallow and confusing to the audience.

And then obviously Untold origins was animated in season 4 because of Ranpo's increased screen time and the focus on his bond with Fukuzawa (and well the weird implication that V was the decay of angels the whole time but idrc abt that bc why was fyodor there asagiri isnt he like 9)

So people saying that stormbringer might get animated soon id say dont worry now but definitely worry later. Bones will animate it when they animate a series/arc that has heavy importance on Chuuya and includes characters from stormbringer where the context is necessary (like a Verlaine introduction, or Adam/Mary Shelley). BUT i really really hope its a movie bc of length, like how jjk zero was released before s2 for the context. But also it may be a WHILE before we get it animated bc of this, because we'll have to wait for an arc where Chuuya is heavily involved for that context to be necessary.

But yeah bc studio bones rushes bsd bc of episode constraints they rely on the context of light novels rather than intricate character development and subtle hints. Because unlike shows like JJK they only have a 13 episode run or in the case of season 5 they had 11 episodes opposed to JJK's average 24 episode run so its harder to build up to a flashback and leave character relationships and dynamics in the air for viewers to interpret.

anyways idk i felt like dumping this bc the amount of theories ive seen on it both here and twt made me scratch my head bc its nothing to do w the plot or foreshadowing its just context and whats easiest and most straight forward for the studio

[abiiors]

okay so while we’re on the topic… i’m a newer fan of the boys, i actually got tickets to one of their concerts back in october when they were touring in america from my aunt even though i had never really been a fan of them (her heart was in the right place 😭😭 bc i do listen to a lot of music that’s like in their sphere ig?? and i’ve been to festivals that they’ve performed at so i can see why she would’ve thought to get me those tickets, i just never really listened to their music before) but i went to the show regardless bc hello free concert tickets?? would have been a sin to let them go to waste tbh and oh my god am i so glad i did, it was actually one of the best shows i’ve ever been too!! especially considering i only really knew their popular songs?? like robbers, somebody else, aaaand it’s not living if it’s not with you

ANYWAYS that being said, since i had never really followed them before i always pretty much ignored anything i saw about them on twitter and stuff, mainly the negative things said abt matty bc not my faves, not my business?? but i gotta ask someone who’s been a fan of them for a lot longer than i have, what iiiis the deal with all the “matty healy racist” “matty healy homophobic” “matty healy [insert smth hateful here]” rhetoric??? bc from what i’ve seen of him after getting to know more abt the band he doesn’t appear that way at all?? like were there things he said that were taken out of context??? what’s up with the nazi accusations??? also homophobic??? is twt not aware of what he did in malaysia?? also straight men that are homophobic would never have the kind of close male friendships that the band have with one another… it seems like he’s twitter’s scapegoat tbh but idk i’m simply so confused and anything i find online trying to explain it all seems very biased based off the language they use so if you can/would like to… pls help 😭

okay first of all, welcome to the fandom!! i'm so glad you're here and i'm so glad you got to see them live!! they genuinely are so so incredible <33

now onto the questions!

i won't say matty's a saint. he's definitely done things in the past that are disappointing (to me at least, as well as to many others on here). last year he went on a podcast called the adam friedland show where many tasteless jokes were made about japanese people, the porn website ghetto gaggers, ice spice as well as countless other tastelss things were said.

now i really really want to clarify that matty never made those jokes but he did laugh along to them which is also a shitty fucking thing to do. he's since said that he was advised not to go on the podcast by people close to him and he still did it. however, he's also publicly apologised to ice spice and she's also said that the 1975 are one of her fav artists.

in may of 2023 he started allegedly dating taylor swift (i still don't believe it, i still think they either just made music or they just fucked or both) which exposed him to a whole new level of fame that was unprecedented. and the swifties are... rabid, to say the least. they made fun of his appearance, his past addiction issues, hoped he would have a relapse and die, all sorts of horrendous stuff. they discovered the podcast which was pretty fresh at the time and the whole thing spiralled into him being labelled a racist, homophobe, transphobe, pedophile, nazi, you name it, he was being called it.

however literally NONE of it was backed by evidence (but i don't expect people whose sole source of information is twt to realise that)

they have clearly never learned what a nazi is. i'm not even going to try to debunk that here because i feel like it would be insulting to your intelligence

he's not homophobic or transphobic, he's literally an ally to the point of being a fruity lil shit. he's been banned from 2 countries (dubai and malaysia) for openly supporting queer rights. they were also briefly jailed in malaysia for the stunt they pulled and had a lawsuit filed against them. he's even won ally of the year at the diva awards in 2019

literally every single fan who's ever met him has had nothing but amazing things to say about him. he's been incredibly kind and sweet to people

the band has always been openly political and vocal about their beliefs

you're absolutely right about him being the twitter scapegoat because unfortunately that's exactly what it is </3

i hope that clears things up tho, i'm sorry this is so long!!

[thatmomentwhen345]

Hi I know I never post personal stuff on here but I’m just having disconnected thoughts and I feel like you can say anything on tumblr and someone will connect with it, plus it has to do with pokemon so it’s relevant to ppl who follow me (presumably)

Don’t tell anyone I want it to be a surprise to the people who will actually see it but I’m working on a video right now of me ranking all of the different Pokeani dub opening songs and

HALT here is some important context before we continue

1. Last year (2023) I spent 7 months binging the entire pokeani

2. I livetweeted the whole thing for some reason (and subsequently left Twitter a few months later)

Anyway, so I’m scrolling through my ridiculously long twt thread to get screenshots and clips and be reminded of important plot beats so I can talk abt them in the video and I’m reliving some of these moments and

Yesterday I was looking for the episode where May loses her second chance at winning the Grand Festival during the battle frontier

I found it and I rewatched the end so I could record the clip I wanted.

Ngl, that was one of the strongest emotional reactions I had during my initial watchthrough. May’s breakdown was just so raw and EARNED and idk I haven’t cried a lot in the last few months but rewatching that bit over a year later that same powerful emotional reaction came back and it was like. Really cathartic

Last year was a rollercoaster for me and the Hoenn gang (Ash, Brock, Max, May) was with me during a somewhat traumatic period of the year but I don’t think about them as often as I do characters from other regions (namely the Kalos gang who I have a nostalgic connection to). But god I miss them and that period of my watchthrough (but not the period of my life LMAO)

And today I was reading my tweets from the Sun and Moon and Journeys period of the binge, reliving all the touching moments and it’s really weird because I dont think I’ve really processed much of the latter part of last year bc it was another weird time for me (turning 18, getting my first job, starting my first year of college) and

I’ve scrolled through that thread so many times since I finished that endeavor. But it just doesn’t compare to actually going back to the episodes themselves and seeing the little details my brain forgot or my thread didn’t mention. In fact, I think because I made the thread my brain chose to forget about everything that ISNT in the thread because it takes up less space in my head that way, but now that I’m committing so much brainpower to it again and actually rewatching some of those episodes is finally actually taking me back to last year and helping me process some of the stuff that happened? Or I could be bullshitting but idk

I said once my binge of the anime was over I was going to do so many creative things in relation to it but I think by the time I was finished my brain had had enough and so I kinda moved on quicker than I thought I would, or even wanted to. But now I’m finally revisiting those creative ideas I’m being reminded of just how much that stupid adventure meant to me and especially the characters yknow

The May example is just one of them. There are plenty of episodes I could go back to and the same thing would happen but I’m not ready for all that. I was just curious enough about the May clip because I didn’t remember it and because May basically didn’t show up at all after Sinnoh aside from a few second long cameo in Journeys but Fuck. It was even more heart wrenching than I remembered. Genuinely one of the realest moments in the show. I miss May, I miss the Hoenn gang. I miss all of the characters. I miss the escapism and the emotions

Anyway that’s enough rambling. I needed to talk about this somewhere and I think it would too out of place in the very first video I’ve ever done where I’m actually talking.

I know I said I livetweeted the entire thing but it was on my priv twitter and it was probably extremely annoying for the people who did follow me over there so like even though I was constantly talking about it, I didn’t really get to talk To anyone about it and I think that’s another part of why so much if it has gone unprocessed so if anyone is interested in hearing more of my thoughts on that experience I’m eager to share. And I suppose I’ll let you guys know when the video goes up if you’re interested. I’m planning to post it September 8th (2024), the anniversary of the English dub ending so keep an eye out if you’re interested

Thanks for listening tumblr people

[lakka-arts]

I'm. Very confused on what's going on but you are very cool i think

hi! tysm!!! <333

it's just some petty fandom drama

for context (it's pretty lengthy so imma put it under read more) or look at this blog that sums it all up @martmarina-stopharassingpeople

so there's a person in the witcher community by the name of marina who's been harassing people nonstop over this ship that she has. a lot of us (me and my friends and then eventually more of the community overall) have stayed away from the ship for reasons that it makes us slightly uncomfortable.

as responsible people, we disengaged entirely from her. we never sent anything to her. we never insulted the ship. we never said anything about the ship. we have never interacted before this (I did for other reasons. she was using an editing mod I was interested in. asked her once abt how the mod works, then I solved it before she could respond. but that was it.)

but apparently?? not making the ship at all or shipping one of the characters in said-ship with other characters really ticks her off. I got involved bc I was making fanart for a separate ship that my friend gave me the idea for. it was based off this pose meme on twitter and we thought it was rly cute, so I drew it.

then marina came in and accused me of plagiarism. which. what. i linked her the tweet where the original pose came from, which is an EXACT match to my pose.

(og (left)'s twt link bc we guccciii)

and this was MARINA'S post

and then, came a storm of my notifications blowing up because marina had resorted to calling me names, spamming me with messages, and even on posts unrelated to the witcher, she left remarks??

my favorite (/j) one was when she sent me THIRTY SIX fucking messages. in ONE go.

hey! it gets better!

so yeah, we blocked her and we all thought it was the end of it but nooooo she's CONTINUING IT??? on anons and alts???? idk what this woman wants but jfc, grow. up.

she's attempted to make "apologies" (it was a guilt trip effort, intentional or not, and ultimately meaningless because she immediately went back on her word and continued to bother me, my friends, my partner, and even people unaffiliated with us)

TLDR; person cannot handle the people in her ship being shipped with other people, by other people, so she decides to take it out by making it everyone's problem and blaming it on them when she's confronted with the harassment she's been doing

[noxtivagus]

there is honestly sm i wna ramble about rn ( 〃．．)

[woozi]

l&r shua and specially studio choom l&r shua... i still have no idea how i survived that, also it gave us blue hair cheol too <3 ... him sleeveless with blue hair, there are so many happy things just from this cb jdjsksskks i adore it.

wonshua fr were something else during l&r... omg after school, I'm guessing you've been into kpop way before me. anytime any clip from 17tv pops up i'm just ' they're so smol here they're so cute ' but also most of the time i have no context as well it's djjdsjskks. idk why but svt club is still something i find myself watching again i really liked its concept and them talking and sharing their thoughts it's very simple but also heart-warming.

is it creepy if i say i kind of did sghjkk i actually got to know you are interested in got7 recently when i ended up clicking the links in your bio. i swear im not a weird stalker jdjeekke i've been following your got7 blog way before than this one djdjdjjddj i only found this svt one recently after i decided to completely move back to tumblr and started following svt accs. I didn't know both blogs were you for a long time jddjdkd i apologize if it does seem lil creepy JDJDKSKSLS

jinyoung and mark are my biases, my ults actually <3 and yess i'm keeping up w/ their solo projects even more than before 😭 it's so jdjdkdkd. 2017 was the year i started listening to kpop and around that time or lil later i came across ' you are ' this song is so dear to me i loved it in first listen, its lyrics i love its lyrics sm i made everyone i know listen to it dhjddk yet i didn't dive in deeper bc i was caught up with other group at that time but slowly I started watching their content from 2018. it's like got7's been w/ me since the start & at the same time not </3 but look, lullaby and more importantly spinning top came and everything changed with that album it's so goood from then i started keeping up with their music and check their cbs. i knew jype was meh even when i didn't stan them but i didn't know to what extent, i only got to know after 2019. so far it's all so good and i hope it stays like that. all of their different companies treat and promote them nicely 🥺.

with svt it was instant love i got to know abt them during march 2019 ig, their songs grew on me so fast and boom by the time may came i was a carat, with got7 it was gradual love, it increased lil by lil it's nice but i do wish i could've stanned them earlier. the only cb experience as an official birdie i have is nbtm and last piece 😭 anyway both of these groups are very dear to me not just musically but emotionally too. i love them very much 😔.

also omg those are some of the great artists!! i honestly have no idea how khh and krnb are i mostly listen to kpop and kbands more. i actually listen to a lot of artists but regularly only zayn, svt, got7, the rose (ik we're talking abt kpop but i can't leave zayn out of this djdjdkdk he's the first ever artist i have stanned <3)

also onewe, n.flying, a.c.e, gaho ( i love his voice <3) woodz, day6. yk when you want new music but also something which you'd instantly enjoy otherwise you don't want new music sghjk, when i feel like this i just go to any of their discography. also special mention to hoppipolla and lucy bc they always bring something new to the table i love them for it. i love these artists but honestly i listen to them when i am in mood. i listen to gotsvt and zayn the most at the end of the day. goodnight <3 i love talking to you too 🥺🥺🥺 also feel free to answer late when you're free. hoping i made sense in this one and answered everything bc i am too sleepy rn fjdjkd - 🪂

gggu hate realizing that being on twitter is like (1) making me more paranoid about like... idk what they’re called, “dogwhistles”? like, suspecting ppl’s intentions behind posts lmfao, bc of how twt format makes it almost impossible to have any kind of nuance, and also bc there IS a lot of ppl with policing-intentions and you! don’t always know! it’s similar to that post three--rings made about this one person they followed who would go off abt ppl and one day it was about them, and after that they couldn’t do it anymore bc they saw how easily ppl went along with it

it’s like... as bad as discourse is on tumblr at least you can make your statement in full, and if someone fighting with you isn’t reading it, at least they’re reblogging it in full

vs qrting just a tiny segment out of it, and like it could be sth that’s not even a central point it could be an antecedent point, but bc they’ve reacted to it as an individual unit by itself, and then any qrt’ing can make it just its own out-of-context bit, it just... spirals from there

it’s a weird environment to be in and it breeds a kind of paranoia to it when looking at other ppl’s twts. 

Actually. no I know what it is. Everyone seems to operate in such bad faith there. And it’s a mindset that’s gotten me paranoid lmao, esp after the last round twt thread and then seeing ppl taking indiv sections out of context and assume bad faith and then act on bad faith too, and absolutely derail issues with their own agenda while accusing you of all sorts of whatever, including of being the one with an agenda while apparently they don’t have one.

And yeah like the other thing, it’s just. so easy for ppl - esp followers of that person - to just go along with it too and it just. spirals 8)

it made me really paranoid the last time feeling like ppl were talking about me where I couldn’t see, bc in the course of looking for sth else, I found a qrt in the search that twt notifs hadn’t shown me 8)

it’s........ been a Lot I think. I need to like. literally pull myself back every time, force myself to take a deep breath and not get offended and act on that offense lmao

and it’s not always successful bc life is a lot too and there’s a lot of sht up in the air and to have one my mind 8)

ggggjjj 

also I’m using keyboard smashes so much more now lmao

Q: what are your thoughts on the viability of twitter as the long-term hub for fandom? i've been on twt in various fandoms for 7 yrs now and my general assessment is that it brings out the worst in many ppl. even apart from the terrible mass harassment and dog piling (which only seems to be getting worse, tbh), even the culture of "chill" twt often seems to encourage a lack of empathy or compassion, an assumption of bad faith, and a sort of generalized hyperbole that can lead to a flattening or removal of nuance. this was sparked by an interaction i saw play out earlier that went very badly bc of how everyone approached it when, from what i could tell, there was no actual disagreement btwn any of them. idk. ultimately, i don't know where else fandom would go that wouldn't replicate many of these problems to a greater or lesser extent. but i feel like i've seen you touch on some of this before and i wondered if you had any thoughts.

A: bts fandom is my first one on twitter, so it's always hard for me to separate what of my experience is fandom-specific vs platform-specific; my acct was created in 2016 but i literally had never used it until i started using it for bts at the end of 2018 because it seemed like all the cool people i would wanna be friends with were on twitter (the vibe of the bts fandom on tumblr, which is where i was previously, seems p different to me and i couldn't rly find anyone who was talking about them in the ways i wanted to talk about them!) i think there are advantages and disadvantages to twitter tbh, but i can only really compare it to tumblr, since that's the only other platform i've used for fandom (i was around and reading fic in fandom during livejournal in the early 2000s, but i only lurked, so i don't have any experience with creating content or interacting with ppl there from which to draw.)

i've found that twitter is a much easier place to get to know people, since replies to threads are such an easy way of joining a conversation, so i made friends here much faster than on tumblr, but i think the simultaneous disadvantage of replies is that it makes it easier for people to dogpile and that other ppl feel totally fine with barging into your mentions when you don't know them with some kind of shitty hot take lmao. twitter is a terrible place to try to have any kind of discourse too tbh, bc the fact that you have to put things in threads makes it WAY easier for people to qRT only one part of a thread and take that out of context. there's also a thing i see on twitter way more than on tumblr, which i think comes from this drawback of threads, where when discourse is happening people will agree with some small point you made in one tweet of a thread and run w it in a direction that's kind of extreme, so points that were originally v nuanced will steadily get boiled down through ppl's agreement or disagreement into these weird extreme hard stances, and the convo IMMEDIATELY veers off in 400 different directions. i think this happened on tumblr too, it's kind of the nature of online discourse, but it was at least slower, yknow?

ultimately, whenever twt blows up i frequently see ppl being like "oh god i miss [tumblr/lj/etc]," and like i don't know abt any of y'all but i remember shit being JUST as bad on those platforms lmao! they were hellscapes, just in slightly different ways! i think fandom will prob move on from twitter, bc fandom seems to move en masse every 5-10 years anyway, but i also think it's important for reasonable people and experienced fans in these communities to keep having convos abt how to build community and how to treat others online, bc fandom will ALWAYS have new uninitiated people coming in. the optimist in me hopes that if i behave in a way that i think is fair and kind online, maybe it will encourage others to do the same! it's all i can do!
