#same old song and dance

[mxtxfanatic]

See, and this is also what I hate about jc stans and “neutral” blogs:

“I’m open to discussion!” but I had to find out I was blocked after you sent me a booklet worded as if you wanted to engage with me.

“I’m open to discussion!” but you won’t respond when shown direct quotes from the text.

“I’m open to discussion!” but spamming the same one excerpt over and over despite every single day a new person telling you why it is out of context and being misrepresented.

“I’m open to discussion!” but ending your responses with some self-insult as if I said those words to you rather than you fantasizing about me insulting you to prepare your victimhood narrative.

I'm slowly becoming more confident that it was indeed a seizure, mostly because my brother just got diagnosed with epilepsy and we found out he's been having seizures all his life (they were just rare and light enough that even he had no idea they were happening). I also found out that one of the medications I'm on is usually used to prevent seizures rather than what I use it for, so that may have saved me from the full fun seizure experience.

me when people blatantly prefer male muses over female muses : that's weird... that's suspicious... that's strange.........

Christian Kane you have some answering to do!!!!!!

Okay tell me why his song Whiskey in Mind sounds of two other famous songs woven together 👀 (specifically the intro and the chorus)

And of course it was bugging me like a tooth about to fall out about it so I kept listening and thinking about it until some lyrics finally came to my and I found both the songs!

Now in the beginning of the song you can hear a distinctive pattern of notes which if you know the song seems to come from the beginning of the famous rock song Same Old Song and Dance by Aerosmith

Whereas when you get to the chorus of Whiskey in Mind it changes and the repetition of the music for that section of the song sounds just like the chorus of equally famous Hot Stuff by Donna Summer

And when you add both parts together with some pretty catchy lyrics and an amazing artist like Christian Kane you get Whiskey in Mind!

Seriously tho Christian Kane you got some answering to do!! First of all what made you choose these sections of these songs and then decide you were gonna combine them! And when were you gonna say something cause you had me like

And if anyone asks how the fuck I noticed the songs... well they have a very distinctive sound 👀

[nice-bright-colors]

So this song came up today whilst working, and I just had to put that opening, bluesy, Joe Perry guitar riff in your head.

You’re welcome.

AH SHIT. HERE WE GO AGAIN.

[redstarfish-art]

Me everytime I re-read my comments: Is it weird to reply to a comment that a person sent me 3 years ago? Me: Do they still like this fic? Me: Is reminding them this fic exist going to confuse them? Me: What if they only liked the fic up to this chapter and then stopped liking the fic? Me: What if they had a bad experience in this fandom and now they hate everyone in it? Me: What if what if what if... My brain: What if you write the next chapter instead? :D

No kidding, think I bitch about him too much (affectionately) to my friend before I sleep sometimes. Maybe a bit too much. So my dreams kinda ran with it.

I bitch about him constantly, too, lmao. But he deserves it (affectionately)!

[theminecraftbee]

so a thing this fandom does that remains FASCINATING to me, as a function of the fact a lot of this fandom is people's first fandom or only current fandom, is just... assume a lot of things it does is a scourge that this fandom has invented or doesn't exist outside of it? or like, is uniquely bad here? and i won't deny that sometimes mcyt fandom is a bit more intense by virtue of numbers, but like...

duo names: confusing fandom-injokes to describe duos and groups tend to be an anime fandom thing specifically for many historical reasons, but they're not uncommon. hey quick--if you haven't been in KHR fandom, can you guess what 1827 is? no? i'll give you a hint: that's actually a ship name. or, ygo fans, tell me the difference between puppyshipping, prideshipping, violetshipping, and rivalshipping. my hint is that they're all kaiba ships and two of them are actually the same ship. good luck!

reducing characters to a specific trait: have you read fic in another fandom before? i would recommend you go do so and come back to me. my example here is "sasuke likes tomatoes", for the record.

common au fanon that's confusing to outsiders: my deep cut here is "when i got into certain tv fandoms i was baffled by the existence of sentinel/guide fics", which is a slightly older tv fandom thing so many of you probably don't know what i'm on about. but trust me: in certain fandoms it's ubiquitous and unless you've watched a completely different tv show you're gonna have to entirely pick it up from reading fic. oh hey, hybrid aus and watcher!grian, nice to see your relative here,

fanon being treated as canon: did you know there's this whole bnha character, naomasa, who is treated as canonically having a lie detector quirk? did you know that, best i can tell, that's not in canon anywhere, it just got echoed through fanon enough that everyone treated it as canon? 'fanon trait becomes so ubiquitous everyone assumes it has to be there' is not a new thing. also, batfamily fans, i have been lead to understand the tim and coffee thing is also this.

characters being treated badly to make a different dynamic look better: the fact we have the term 'character bashing' tells you all you need to know, here. if anything my one complaint on this front isn't even that it's happening--it's that i wish bashing and/or "not [character] friendly" was tagged a little more frequently, haha.

characters being reduced to their family dynamics: tale as old as time. "even the family dynamic thing" yes even that. just because this fandom tended to be particularly ship-adverse in the past didn't mean it didn't do basically the same behaviors as any fandom with shipping did with those dynamics, just gen. and other gen fandoms also do that. yes, down to the "and shipping reduces them to a ship, unlike my gen dynamic, which is very in-character; why can't people just be friends?" thing. some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

characters being reduced to their ships: some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

The Discourse: yeah this is an "actively running show" fandom thing, but also a hiatus fandom thing. ask a homestuck about vriskourse sometime. as much as i hate to say it, it probably made doomsday discourse look cute.

and those are just like... some things i've seen people complain about on my dash recently. idk it just hit me there are probably fans in mcyt fandoms who are assuming that some things (like hybrid aus or duo names) are the kind of things that only happen here, so i thought i'd offer some examples of other places they happen! i also have even more examples if you'd like.

to be clear: this isn't shaming anyone for complaining about any of these things. lord knows i go complain to my friends about it all the time, just the other day i was complaining in the category of 'they keep bashing my guy'. it's more of just... a gentle reminder that maybe we're big, maybe we're loud, maybe we have problems... but these problems aren't always unique.

so uh. we're all suffering together i guess...?

[christopher-bryant]

the brie larson hate is either sexist or band wagon hate because every claim that's made is contradicted by her work and people who have worked with her.

"she cant act"

yeah so thats why she has many accolades and co stars have said she's incredible to watch.

"shes cold and mean"

yeah thats why many actors and fans have said she's such a warm, thoughtful and kind person to meet. john goodman has said that on set she organizes events for everyone so they experience places around them. yeah sounds like something a jerk would do.

"she rolls her eyes and gets dismissive over questions asked during interviews"

she gets asked some sexist and ridiculous bs sometimes. id be fed up too and make sure everyone knows it.

"shes said bad things about her costars!"

you mean quotes taken out of context? things said in jest?

"shes smug and so full of herself!"

you mean she's confidant and outgoing? every male actor gets praised for that but its different for her, why? sexism.

[lazyveran]

do think its astounding how quickly agatha was able to get a read on billy and start needling him down. like if nothing else, agatha harkness is a consummate actress with a terrifying ability to read people

it also is a little scary for billy himself, i mean he revealed himself and his power and agatha immediately found nearly every single wound he had and started tearing, quite enthusiastically, at them all. equating his involuntary action of stealing a body to her own actions (and ouch, agatha fresh off alice's death and doing that? listing her own extensive body count alongside? her own cope is showing), the prodding at the mostly dead maximoff family all while simultaneously praising him as an actual witch for the first time when he's fresh off the back of a fairly violating powers crash out?

no doubt he's vulnerable, full of guilt, hurting and absolutely rueing the day he ever searched up agatha's name. she's absolutely terrifying. her life has just been threatened and she's laughing at him. and billy is stuck with her

[dandybambiandy]

I'm still drawing them, who would've guessed

[princessefemmelesbian]

Well would you look at this. 😵‍💫 Because obviously if you dare say anything as wild and controversial as “lesbians don’t like men, please stop using a label that hurts us and tries to force men into our identity” you’re a raging terf radfem transmisogynist. Because obviously ONLY trans women use the bi lesbian label and it’s not like there are transfem lesbians who are rightfully against the label as well or anything and it’s not like terfs use the label to refer to cis lesbians who date trans women and why can’t you just let people identify as how they want of course lesbians like men stop the infighting already if you disagree with me that lesbians can like men then surely that’s because you’re an exclusionist gatekeeper who hates trans women.

[bigassbowlingballhead]

I think they should announce TZP as the next Bond just cause it would be funny to see the meltdowns about Bond being played by an American. I deserve a lil treat

honestly, american would be the least of our worries if they announced tzp as the next bond. there'd be people lighting tiki torches and carrying pitchforks because they dared cast a brown man.

[mail-me-a-snail]

i think there is something very freeing about being in a fandom as old and as widespread as tf2 because everything has been done already and the same concepts someone wrote about 11 years ago will be played with again forever and ever in eternity, with the only uniqueness of it being how that particular person goes about it. it's like two cakes but a whole bakery of cakes
