People are too scared to seem "cringe" in the modern creepypasta fandom, that's the biggest issue I've seen when it comes to this. Like whenever someone brags about their "super realistic and actually scary" creepypasta analog horror or fanfic or whatever they always say something along the lines of "This ain't your 2014s cringe fanfics" or "we aren't doing any sexy emo shit" or whatever. It's always something relating to cringe and that's just complete bullshit to me. I get that people don't want to repeat some of the sins of the old Creepypasta fandom ( The ableism, the aggressive obsession with creepypastas, theft creators never being able to live down creepypastas as they try to move on from it, etc) but this only caused the fandom to become even more hostile and not as fun. Cause the truth of the matter is that "cringe" is just fun. It's fun to make a million headcanons, it's fun to ship random characters who realistically would have no chemistry, it's fun to make endless amounts of AUs that are as far from canon as it could get, it's fun to share your ideas with other people and engage with their own versions of the characters, It's fun to analyze these characters to better understand how they got this way or how this could've been avoided, it's fun to make something out of nothing. I think people need to realize that Cringe culture doesn't exist to make the fandom spaces ( and the internet in general) a better smarter place, it only exists to bring divide and to put down anyone who doesn't meet up with their bullshit standards, or people who dare to, oh the horror, be weird and different!! Cause at the end of the day who actually gives a shit if 13 yr old emo girls think jeff the killer is hot, it's not hurting anyone and the kid is just having fun. Just let people have fun.

It's kinda sad to see how strict the Creepypasta fandom has gotten. When I first joined Tumblr and really got actively involved in the fandom back in September, it was so incredible that my first fandom experience was full of people taking such basic concepts and random characters made years ago, and creating something so personal to them.

I think the most beautiful and unique part of the Creepypasta fandom is the creative liberties and artistic interpretations. The fact that we all have our own AUs and ships and headcanons, and we all have our own takes on things. Our own little worlds we made with these random ass characters. Thats something Ive always loved about this fandom, and its so sad to see people hating on others just for having their own ships, characterizations, headcanons, whatever (as long as it isnt just straight up illegal or harmful yknow, a given.)

We need to go back to letting people be happy, and letting people do what they want. Let people post things, make art, create stories, stray so far from canon, do things that you dont personally agree with. Let people be people. Theres no need to go out of your way to shove it in peoples faces when theyre just tryna enjoy something "I dont like this thing"/"This character doesnt do this in canon"/"I dont agree with this", just keep it to yourself.

Obviously theres a difference between claiming something is canon when its not and just making headcanons and AUs, but seriously man. Can we just go back to letting people have their fun?

One - this scene was GLORIOUS!

Two - I heartily dislike every character in this drama as a person but oh boy are they fun to watch!

Three - I made an offhand crack about Something Happened in Bali but this is totally serving Bali vibes with LJS as So Ji Sub's smart ruthless poor boy, Lee Jun Young as Jo In Sung's the fucked up rich one, and Hong Su Zu as Ha Ji Won's needy greedy poor girl in the middle.

Four - I really do think kdramas would benefit from going back to longer 16/20/24 ep format. This is 12 eps and Bali was 24 and the latter gave the narrative room to breathe and for us to actually get to really know the characters.

Five - the fact that the rich dude only went after the girl after he knew his homoerotic buddy poor dude wanted her is...pretty telling.

Wednesday tag game

Hiii darling angelpies! I am here on timeish 😆

I was tagged by these dazzling sweethearts Nosho @creepkinginc Mel @gardenerian Evie @energievie Deanna @deedala Kat @ mybrainismelted Julia @blue-disco-lights Al @spookygingerr Jessica @guinguin1984

How did you get into the fandom?

Like a lot of us 😆 I saw a fan edit of Mickey & Ian on YouTube (I can't find it again even when I've searched my history 😭) I was kinda in between fandoms at the time with Malex from Roswell New Mexico but they were broken up at the time & buddie lol.

But then I was shot through the heart when I went through the gallavich tag & it felt like home 🥰

How long have you been here?

I was lurking at the end of 2021 & the first official time I contributed to this darling fandom in Feb 2022 with gallacrafts 💝

What's the first fandom channel you found? (youtube, reddit, tumblr, insta, twitter, FB, other?)

Here on tumblr babeeeyy

What's your favourite now?

Still tumblr but I wish I was better on discord 😅 I get overwhelmed & don't wanna talk over ppl 😔

Which mutual have you known the longest in the fandom?

Oh my goodness I had no idea but my longest mutual is the always spectacular Calli @callivich 🥰🩵💙 woooww!!

Which tumblerinos did you have your first fandom crush(es) on and wanted to get to know?

Y'all have to understand you are all unbelievably swoon worthy & there's only so many ppl I can tag in one post (damn you tagging limit 😣)

Ok, so definitely have a big crush on Deena @suzy-queued & to see smitten feeling is mutual got me

GIF by theresaphoenixinmyboot

Alice @darthvaders-wife Jane @captainjowl Mitch @psychicskulldamage when we became mutuals I squealed bc how much talent??

Jenna @ianrightsonly & Kay @goodkwuestion their fics changed me

Also, Benja @svltburn | Nosho | Vey @look-i-love-u Macy @heymacy Julissa @heymrspatel Jo @jomilky Harvey @mikhailoisbaby Georgia @iansw0rld Molly @deathclassic Stas @messedwithmandy Howl @howlinchickhowl Michelle @michellemisfit | Deanna | LJ @ofalltheginjoints Sam @sam-loves-seb Face @ burninface | Calli | AJ @ clingymickey Mills @gallavichsbitch Leah @whatwouldmickeydo

Also Jay!! You've left but gave me butterflies 🦋

Pls I kind hate this question! I've come to the conclusion I have a crush on you all OK?? 😭

This is why I make y'all Valentine's

First gallavich fan fic you read (or that blew you away that you remember)?

By the magnificent Kay The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Ian Gallagher!!! OH MY GOSH JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS FIC MAKES ME FEEL ELATED & FERAL!!! It's my favourite piece of written work & I need my non gallavich ppl to read it so I can scream into their faces how much I love it 🥰🩷🩷🩷

First fan art that blew your mind?

Seriously, Deena's gallacrafts & art always take my breath away!!! Like the artistry & creativity?? I wanna get to your level 🥰

It's three dimensional & has twinkling lights ✨️ I was astounded & my jaw literally dropped 😍

All of Alice's art especially my commissioned art 🩷

Also, Mitch's comic I stared at it forever like Ian's eyes reflecting Mick's booty 🍑👀

Fanfic trope that you were sure wasn't for you but now you low key (or high key) love?

I have read some pretty freaky & nasty fic bc of curiosity, so I nothing really gave me icks in tropes, but in writing style, I got turned around with Jen @wehangout with second person POV. You're so talented that I really enjoyed them when I would nope out before 😆

What surprised you most about this fandom?

Everything surprised me about this fandom bc it was my first one!! 😆 I didn't really know how to do tumblr & didn't really get how to interact. So I used tumblr like a sticker book, then came learning tags & so ppl reached out to me which helped me gain confidence haha

This is kinda a golden standard fandom. So welcoming, loving & encouraging!! If I ever dabble in another fandom, imma have a high standard bc I've been spoiled by y'all! ILY

Moment in the show (or YT vids if you're one of those) that you fell in hyperfixation with gallavich?

It was the "I'm fucking gay" scene to the "Guess what we've been doing daddy" The way he humps the car with all that conviction & screaming "he fucking loves it".

Everything clicked & I was like "Damn I love this fictional man." He is my favourite character of all time & this ship is my OTP & GOAT.

Also I love this edit too. It gives me chills

Ian or Mickey?

Mickey, but holy shit I love them both

Which gallagher or milkovich are you?

I took a page from @/guinguin1984 & did some quizzes & I got Fiona Ian Fiona Debbie not of them feel right ahaha

I guess Fiona bc I had her twice 😅

Consider yourself tagged if I have a crush on you or mentioned you. Also tagging these sunshines & if you wanna do it too, have at it 💛🥰

if i say trick, does this also mean i also get a treat because... i am a treat ;) if no, trick please.

hehehehehehe love @jolapeno (being a sideaccount is boooo)

Jo, I'm going to kick us off with this ask because of COURSE you are always a treat! But for a trick...

You see him across the room and you can't be SURE but he might be Dieter Bravo. At least the tousled hair and scrungly smile look like your guilty pleasure TV-soap-star-turned-serious-actor crush. He's all in white like some sort of angelic whistle to your better senses. The crowd around him parts and he's looking straight at you. Heart skipping a beat, you wait for him to make the next move...

...and he blows you a kiss! But that's all you get before he's swallowed up by the paparazzi. Boo!

Behold my dastardly trick! But you can always come back and ask for a treat (seconds are always welcome in LJ's house!)

[meowmeowriley]

So, I'm a HUGE fan of your Oh, Brother series. Are we gonna get more? Cause I'd kill to see more interactions like at the end of the fic. It was BEAUTIFUL.

🥰 Thank you thank you thank you! For now, the series is finished. Although I do like the idea of adding to it later, either with a fic from LJ and Jo's perspectives, growing up and seeing their uncles when they come home for leave. Or maybe a fic that's just Tommy playing COD with Ghost's friends and teammates? Constantly teasing his brother. Maybe a mandatory fun day, where the soldiers families get to come to base and chaos ensues as Ghost and Soaps moms find Captain Price to be rather handsome. Idk. But I am thinking about it. 😉

If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them!

[jolalibrary]

Hey Jo! 13, 24 and 58 of getting to know you!

hello lovely LJ, so lovely to have you here!

13. what’s a common writing tip that you always follow

I don’t know if it’s a tip, but more of a thing I have learnt to do, is write the ending. so I’ll always have a concrete end point of a story that I’m working to. now, it can move, and I can write past it in time, but for a while it becomes the North Star to what I’m doing. it gives me a little direction on what I need them to do at the beginning to get there before I understand them super well and I don’t need it. but it was given to me by an author at one of her talks and she always does it and I thought, hey I don’t write in chronological order anyway may as well try and it’s worked wonders for me.

24. worst writing advice someone has given me

“don’t write so flowery” this was given to me by an editor once, and it was really funny because I then had a chat with someone immediately after who is a writer/knows writing well (I’m being cagey I know) and they said the way I wrote flowery was one of the best things about my work. so, it just shows that writing is so subjective and you cannot please everyone.

586. what’s something about my writing I pride myself on?

I really like my dialogue. it’s one of my fave things to write, and equally my fave to revisit and also to conjure up. I love it when I get to use it in other forms to (text, email, IG posts 😂) and I like that it shows that I’m witty, even if that doesn’t come across in my day to day.

LJ, what about you? What’s one thing you pride yourself on? *edit: LJ i answered the wrong question because i was replying when i was in bed HAHAH, so there's a new one i've tagged you in where i answer, im so so so sorry. im such a jo.

get to know the fanfic writer

[fated-mates]

It seems impossible that we haven’t done this one, but we haven’t done this one!

(Thanks to 1001 Dark Nights, LJ Evans, and Jo Brenner for sponsoring the show.)

[oscarpiastriwdc]

top 5 favourite fics of all time maybe?

OOOO okay all timers:

1. Carpe Brewski - gyzym: permanently abandoned but forever in my heart, literally (I have a Google doc titled for emergencies that has the whole thing copy pasted in case lj finally goes down for good)

2. another hazy may - deLILah: jo and i text each other “when louis is fourteen he learns about the literary present” back and forth out of the blue a concerning amount

3. couldn’t get better they say - jadepresley: according to my ao3 history i have visited it a whopping 384 times

4. what we pretend we can’t see - gyzym: cited extensively in one of my undergrad theses

5. hale construction - mynuet: here’s how sterek can still win

no f1 on the list yet because i have too many recency bias rules but of shadow by racingline is an all timer

[watchinghallmark]

Everything Christmas -

This was fine. It was a bit much for my taste with how perfect everything came together and the "Santa" of it all. Lori Jo was kind of obnoxious. I don't care for Cindy so I knew I probably wasn't going to enjoy this one anyway but the character was annoying. I understand the message but pushing Tory to quit her job so now they both don't have jobs was pretty ridiculous. I liked Tory and Jason or whatever his name was better than Zack and LJ so I would've preferred more focus on them.

What'd you think of this one?

[todayisafridaynight]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANNOUNCE WHEN YOU MEET RK I SAW YOURE COMMENT OF U PLAYING LJ (IM JO SCENE ANON!!!) OH MY GOD I NEED TO SCREAM (sorry)

no worries Jo Scene Anon i'll let you know :] the moment i'm able to even play LJ again 🧍‍♂️
