#danny phantom#dpxdc#Yes this is a silly poll. it's fandom. it's not that deep#and I'm not hugely involved with the dp fandom like. as a group. I have my moots and that's all I want#so I don't have a huge stake in this either way#BUTTTTTT EVEN SO the lack of tagging etiquette from the dpxdc fandom is a pain in the ass#literally just don't tag ur shit with danny phantom. it's not hard. they're two different fandoms.#do that one (1) easy thing and boom. peace and love on planet earth#the dp and dpxdc fandoms can hold hands and frolic and kiss each other with tongue like God intended without stepping on each other's toes#and encroaching on each other's space#BADA BING BADA BOOM problem solved and it only took what? eleven seconds?#also I am fully aware that this isn't like some scientifically bulletproof way to collect data bc it can beel easily skewed#even just by like one person with a dozen alt side accounts or something#but I was just :) curious :)))))#fuck it we ball#if anyone from either side comes at me with drama I'm just gonna straight-up ignore it btw this isn't worth getting worked up over#and I'm Not letting anyone drag me into fandom drama

listen i was guilty of this once upon a time too but dawg ppl GOTTA stop calling any platonic dynamic they like “siblings” without any precedence
#there are many characters where there is good right to call them siblings. but ppl have gotten so trigger happy w it#and like theres nothing wrong with viewing a dynamic that way ig but at the same time it makes ppl who may ship those characters really#uncomfortable. bcuz although there is nothing to suggest that those characters view each other in that way by calling them siblings#instantly you've made it weird for anyone who might interpret the dynamic differently#idk this is very nuanced but it just irked me a little bit#absolutely nothing against the person in the tags of my art btw power to you#but. as someone who ships pearl and scar a little it was a bit uncomfortable to see them be called siblings#i dont like ppl making ANY of the hermits siblings. like grian and pearl are a common one i see and i just. i dont get it i truly dont#none of their dynamics read like that to me. idk. again ppl have their own interpretations of things and they didnt mean any harm by it#it just made me feel a little weird#and this is a problem or well. trend ive seen in all fandoms recently#please. people are allowed to be friends and have close friendships and not have a familial element involved#esp with a girl and a boy THEY CAN JUST BE FRIENDS! YOU CAN HAVE THEM BE TOTALLY PLATONIC WITHOUT CALLING THEM SIBLINGS#whatever whatever idrc. just something ive noticed i know other ppl have talked about this before#again this is not a callout or anything im genuinely not mad or weirded out or anything please dont think i am#serena.txt

out there doing the lord’s work (headcanoning characters as aromantic and Not interested in romantic relationships at all actually, alienating one fandom at a time but having a fantastic blast with it all the while, which is really all that matters)
#gav gab#i need to finish my aro fics#two of them are in progress rn#and both involve the aro character in question being like#not only am i aro but romantic relationships? not for me#one of them is like Friends Are It For Me and the other is interested in a qpr#but neither want romance#and i can’t help but notice that fandoms only seem to want to tolerate like#aro or arospec headcanons when they leave plausible deniability for their ship to still exist#bc of romance favourability or arospec identities that leave room for romantic feelings#not to say those headcanons are bad just that it’s really transparent to me#when fandoms will only allow ones that give them a get out of aro free card so to speak#from an allo or shipper perspective#smacks of the way they’ll allow ace characters or ace headcanons but not aro ones (obv In My Experience disclaimer)#like huh funny how you prioritize your ability to ship over anything else!#cant imagine why fandom spaces feel so inherently and explicitly hostile to me#aro blogging

i genuinely don't think a story's worldbuilding and lore has ever drawn me in the way that check please did. it's been years and i still think about it every day. the characters and plot were always superb but i think what has stuck with me the most is the depth of the settings and how everything feels so lived in and tangible. everyone wants to make a fake world and town and university but no one else has EVER done it that well
#like the college setting especially is so delicious to me#there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think about the campus map and the building names and the haus and the stop and shops#ugh i need hardcore analysis injected into my damn veins#also this could be it's own post. but#the generations of players and how every fan has different people that really speak to them#like i'm not a huge kent/tater or dex/nursey fan and honestly am pretty ambivalent to jack/bitty#(don't take this the wrong way)#but i LOVE ransom and holster and shitty and lardo#and even some of the other characters like bully and tango though i admit the later years don't hit as hard for me as the first couple#i just love that everyone finds something to go batshit over#the attention to detail was just so so incredible and still for SURE holds up#no matter what aspect#i was never super directly involved in the fandom but when i think back on formative pieces of media for me as a person and as a writer#i don't think that there are many things that compare#if you've read my writing i don't think it's hard to see the correlation at all#also if you want to talk check please analysis (or can rec me others' analysis!!!) i'd be forever grateful#otherwise i'm just going to keep marinating forever#omgcp#check please#omg check please

tonight I go to bed grateful not to be in my bnha phase right now
#pickle pontificates#oh boy. i see stuff starting to blow up over there right now#i have many feelings and thoughts about that series and the amount of good it did for me cannot be underestimated#but i was starting to get a bit frustrated with it around when the war arc started#and i sort of fizzled out in interest#and i stopped keeping up with the manga around the traitor reveal i think#it's bittersweet because on the one hand i cannot say enough about the good it did me#it influenced my real life and studies and hobbies in kind of a big way#but on the other hand i don't feel great about the direction it went#and I'm glad I didn't have to be disillusioned while i was in the middle of fangirling and fixating and whatever else#I'd also rather not be involved in whatever discourse I keep catching whiffs of#seeing that was always the most exhausting part of trying to scavenge the fandom and i am too tired for that#yeah. i guess I'm just glad i got to spend time with it when i did and also that I'm doing other stuff now#watch me talk about media like it's my ex rofl#not entirely wrong though... pretty sure I have seriously and directly compared reading dungeon meshi to falling in love on here#and that's been the case with other things. i fall fast and i fall hard and then we have a passionate affair for a few months to a year#and then we amicably agree to be friends with benefits forever and I move on to the next one#(at least with stuff I really like)#bnha is more of an ex that I had a great time with who taught me a lot but I'm kinda only stalking them on social media once in a while#and they're sorta expressing some mildly concerning political opinions that I probably should've seen coming#but they really weren't that much of a problem back then so it's not like i could've really done anything about it#(this is totally different from the way i do relationships irl which is that i don't and haven't ever)

*long, deep, belabored sigh*
#discourse#<- except not really bc i am vagueing#idk im just tired. and sad#for a lot of reasons. some of which are i think v much not the reasons other ppl are mad rn lmao#like. yes it has problems yes i wish it could be better yes this absolutely sucks shit#and that is all v much part of the reason i am tired and sad#but the constant neg abt every aspect of the server also has started grinding on me. well always has i think im just reaching a limit#bc i like it! i do! theres good parts and i like them a whole lot!#idk it just rubs me the wrong way bc even if i do agree with a lot of the criticism whenever it comes from this side of the community#it always kinda feels like its in bad faith to me. like its in desire to watch it burn first and actually improve anything second#and its just like. argh#and like on the flip side. god i love this server but why does it have to be run by a guy who is the way he is#negative#yeah i think this needs that tag too lmao#idk ive been thinking abt taking a break for a little bit here and i dont think i am#mostly bc it would involve unfollowing 90% of my mutuals and i dont really want to do that#but i just wish casually sticking around like this didnt also involve. all the bullshit that comes with being in this fandom(s). lol. lmao.#anyways. i am going to go eat dinner

#I am so tired of that post dragging the astarion fan for thinking he'd do over the top romance things for them#and then accusing astarion fans of wanting him to be wyll#like first: it's a HC who tf cares#2nd there's no reason to think astarion is incapable of doing something Big and Romantic if the mood took him#I personally feel like Crime would have to be involved somewhere#but i still think it could happen#and last but DEFINITELY not least just...WHAT is with this fandom pitting different characters romances against each other???#jfc we're all here to have fun#if you prefer Wyll and ur mad that he got shafted for content i get it#BELIEVE me i get it#but it's not astarion fans' fault that that happened guys#even if you think they're annoying about the way they enjoy the game#like just...everyone calm tf down

completely rhetorical question, I know exactly why they do, but also why do people succumb to pairing star/gale? or rather, how do they? is it not boring, do you not get bored? I cannot imagine being continuously entertained by such a bland pair. wyll is right there, man.
#thoughts about media#no fandom tag lest this breach containment.#I am merely coping with discovering that one of the very few artists I like enjoys that pair.#not to sound pretentious or anything. I simply don't make an effort to keep track of fandom happenings as I used to.#I haven't the time between work. making my own art. the unending pain. and playing video game.#it's better that way anyway. being too involved in a fandom is not good for the mental health.#also I must clarify-- because this is social media and people Love to assume the worst--#I am not heartbroken or anything lmao. I still like the artist. I just do Not get the appeal of that pairing.#and please. do not try and explain to me why you may like it if you do. I've already tried to understand it and I cannot.#star is much better with. well anyone but gale. SH. or the urge.#gale is better with literally anyone other than star.#and wyll is the best because he works wonderfully with everyone and I genuinely like all origin pairs with him.

The Mentalist "Fugue in Red" should have absolutely been a 2 parter but not in the murder case sense. I mean they could have done it that way but it wouldn't have mattered because boy howdy there absolutely NEEDED to have been some kind of emotional resolution.
Honestly with Jane's memory being brought back in such an abrupt and traumatic manner, I had expected him to lash out or shut down and they end up separating after a messy argument.
Lisbon has to do an introspection of what exactly her motivations and whatever while Jane begins to consider his life before and after and everything else.
There was never an episode where Jane and Lisbon were separated by conflicts that didn't involve Red John and this would have been the perfect time to show case them separating because of contrasts of their personalities coming out in the ugliest ways one as a result of one of the most heartbreaking and brutal situations.
I love them but they are fundamentally messy bitches
#the mentalist#fugue in red#listen i love that show but that episode should have not ended the way it did#and then the next episode being as if nothing happened#like what the fuck dude#patrick jane#teresa lisbon#the episode was delicious but the ending was like the ground was opening from under my feet#like damn?????#y'all just don't get to build up an episode like that and then do absolutely nothing with it#where are the consequences#the EMOTIONS#the motivations#y'all#anyways#i wouldn't mind some amazing angst parallels involving a hospital but eh#whump#angst#i am going ham on a dead fandom with a few other people gathering and calling it a civilisation

Sometimes I'm afraid I'm being annoying by frequently posting eyesandears or that my followers will be sick of it but then I remember there's like 3 people I've bonded with because they were openly and unapologetically obsessed with watcher lore
#hi murky hi lack hi RK (as i call you bc idk what you go by)#Lack especially. virtually every single one of your life series posts involves watcher lore in some way and that is Why I Followed You#i am NOT annoying i am doing something i LOVE when other people do!#everyone i've mentioned has given me opportunities to talk about my brainrot to someone who's as insane as me#and that's not even mentioning the adding to my brainrot!#truly the best fandom experience is when you find someone who shares your brand of insanity and make each other worse

when i mention that i have the most individual MiA fics out of any author on AO3 i am not bragging. mostly i am sad about this. fic scene is very small, total of ~200 works in all languages
i am also always noting that the characters i'm likely to read/write about aren't the same ones as the characters most of the rest of the already-small fic reader and writer scene for The Hole Show is likely to read/write about. so the following results aren't news to me
but i hadn't thought to actually compare character tags for the whole fandom to character tags for my work, and the sheer disparity between 'tags of the fandom' and 'tags of the author who wrote the most individual fics in that fandom' is...funny lol. (left: MiA tag as a whole's most tagged characters; right: ebilfic's most tagged characters
#orphan hole tag#ebil writes#Now You See Why I Made Ye Olde Ganja Server.#also if this wasn't already clear from the numbers:#belaf and vueko would not actually place in the top ten characters if not for my fics#i checked what happens if you remove them and the next most tagged characters are Marulk and Original Character#a little surprised Faputa doesn't place in that situation? i was hoping she would#so i could be like. aww she took their place they'd be happy to give their places up for her#like this is interesting because faputa is a very popular character in fanart. but not for fic i guess#anyway whenever i reproach myself with 'don't complain that characters you like don't have more content -- make the content'#i'm like. well actually wait. i am Very Much already Making the Content to the tune of 'most prolific by fic count AO3 author in the fandom#and i'm not out here being a dick in any way to people who only like the other characters so it's fine. :v#rel.: i have a fear if i hosted an AO3 exchange it'd maybe just result in 'two thirds is people asking for and receiving Weird Rabbit Smut#( a decent amount of Nanachi's tag is Weird Rabbit Smut)#which i dont...uh...have any wish for Effort Put in By Me to facilitate. and hosting an exchange certainly involves Putting Effort.#it could perhaps be an exchange themed/centered on secondary characters or adult characters or season two characters or something

i'm sorry i have to speak my truth
WHY ARE PEOPLE ON TIKTOK TREATING COSPLAYERS LIKE THEYRE CELEBRITIES?????
AND WHY AM I SEEING CLOSPLAYERS ACT LIKE THEYRE CELEBRITIES?????
like y'all stop editing them and making entire videos talking about them and referring to them by their first names as if i know who tf they are
#also i'm so sick of them all trying to make marauders tv shows#like stop pls for the love of god😭😭😭#they make entire tiktok pages to promote a show they haven't even made yet#and then ask money from others to fund it#like there's one cosplayer who had written her own what if the marauders lived series and that's fine#because she has her friends involved and she posts the little episodes on her account and all that#she isn't asking people for money she isn't making an entirely new account to promote it#it's just something that she does for fun with her friends who are also cosplayers and you can tell#BUT THE OTHERS LIKE WTF#making entire videos to introduce your writers and cast members and all that and it's just too far#like you're not making it for fun you're making it because you want to be popular in a fandom#which MAKES NO SENSE#you are a FAN#if you want to be an actor then be an actor#fandoms aren't the right place to do that#AND THERES LIKE THREE OF THESE ALL GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME#WE DONT NEED THEM ALL#FAN FILMS ARE FUN DONT GET ME WRONG#BUT NONE OF THE OLD FAN FILMS WENT AS FAR AS TO ASK PEOPLE FOR MONEY TO FUND THEM#am i the only one who feels this way?#maybe#anyways#ace rants

I think the slow ego death of fandom can be pin pointed directly to the first use of the term stantwt actually
#maybe i am swinging at a hornets nest#also my personal hate towards twitter as a platform is showing and i am too tired to shove it in a closet#listen. do i think twitter COULD be a good platform and a good fandom space?#yeah sure maybe. im not ignoring that there are people who have a good time on it and cultivate a wonderful place for themselves#but u also need to come to terms with the fact that the way twitter works is fucking AWFUL for fandom culture#esp when twitter is at the same time a business platform for media people#like not just cc's but also authors/actors/etc#tumblr is prime fandom space both bc of the way it functions and bc it never has been and never will be a business space#no one is coming on here as point of contact for themselves as a brand or as promotion#but thats what twitter IS#and that space cannot coexist with fandom space without an overlap that causes problems#any part of twt fandom is fandom that overlaps with its creators and that like. defeats the point of fandom#u need to ALSO have spaces where fandom exists wholly and fully for the fans and there is no way for the creators to be involved#(unless they are actively searching at which point. that's on them! u made that decision buddy!)#but the raise of ___twt and twitter fandom spaces has caused such an insanely blurred line and has pushed this incredibly volatile#and weird morality police stance within fandom#where fandom is now policed based on purity culture bc 'what if the cc sees that!!'#and also the idea that at all times being a fan of something or someone is being a representative of that thing or person and their beliefs#which is a whoooole other wild problem#sorry for wall of text i didn't mean to go on a rant but it happened anyway LMAO

Oh shit I found this
http://www.imnotokay.net/board/topic/13384/43/
....okay? this is a meaningless and relatively mild thread of someone recapping their msi show and then some pastebin pics. im not quite sure what it is you're "oh shit"ing at.
#ask#anonymous#is it the mild shock humor mentioned?#or am i misreading the tone and ur an msi fan bc either way i am not the account to come to#i like a good bit of MSIs music but dont and havent particularly cared about the band in a long time#i dont hate lindsey and think shes mistreated by the fandom but also#dont blame people who dont like her for her connection to msi or her past racism#like this is seriously one of the most mild links ive ever sent. i dont even know what im mesnt to be reacting to other than lynz being hot#and 2000s era shock rock antics#sorry for using the tags on your ask to state my stance on msi. if you send me any asks abt msi or lynz i will delete them#id rsther kill myself than get involved in one of the stupidest and most harmful slap fights in the mcr fandom

#do you ever get the feeling you are influencing people but like in subtext somehow?#like this is the second time just this year where like#i have been ranting and rambling about something in the tags of related posts on here#only to like a few days or weeks later start seeing posts with my 'talking points' show up on my dash#but like filtered from other parts of the internet where i don't go?#and involving such disparate topics and contexts to where i'm like: am i just somehow aggregating#the general direction things are going out if random tumblr posts and thin air via idk intuition?#because i swear these are not points i'd seen put forward elsewhere that i brought up as tags#this was stuff i was feeling ranty about and wanted to get off my chest#one was fandom related: i started yelling about getting jimin on the radio back in the spring#then his slbum hits and while the song releasing to radio only makes sense actually#the fandom push for it and the sudden renewed interest in guiding fans to request and push for radio play were ?????#and then this thing with the campaign about it's okay to lie about your vote#like that stuff obviously has to have been in the works for a while to get made and released#but i hadn't seen anything at all about it before a week or so ago and the tag rant on a random political post about#how people who say they're not voting for a reason are the same as people who don't vote out of laziness or not caring#which devolved into a ramble about just vote and say you didn't then if all that matters to you is performative image#because no one is going to see your vote no one will know how you voted#you can just lie#and now i keep seeing post after post about the campaign embracing this concept#and the outrage about *that* and it HAS to be confirmation bias but it really feels#like i whispered my tags into the ear of some staffer and they said yeah that's a good point#we should remind people they can vote however they really feel and then just say whatever#they think mskes them look good or will keep them safe because in the end only the vote matters#at the end of the day#weird weird feeling but probably just somehow sensing some ways the wind is about to change right?#the pricking of the thumbs#man anonymity really is a concept thst people are increasingly unfamiliar with if we have reassure people like this huh
