I dont know whats wrong with me, this bastard has all of eight lines in the whole show AND YET

Baptistin is everything to me, seeing this snarky bastard holding a bag of groceries made me believe in God again and i can't even tell you why... Also watch Gankutsuou its honestly so good and only 24 episodes

(for the record Bertuccio could also get it but unfortunately Baptistin had the funnier lines and that was enough to sway me)

me checking for the 5415489th time every bloberta puppington tag in every social media acc i have and the bloberta/clay tag on ao3 on the days without new content

The fact that the Shark Bait fanfic pool is only 70 fics on AO3, and I have written ten of them, is SO hard. I need more people to write stuff for me to consume.

[fedorah-the-explorah]

fine. i'll make the fanart I want to see in this fandom, but I'm gonna complain about it the whole time :/

[onbearfeet]

I'm making a little collage wall of my Monster Mash blorbos and realizing that, while I have little art pieces for Steve and Bucky and Peggy and Jack Russell, I've never been able to find prints for sale featuring Elsa and Ted.

This may require Art.

i don't know if it's considered weird to leave notes on posts from years ago, but that's not gonna stop me from doing it

*looks at the 53,430 works on AO3*

Holy SHIT I don't think I've ever read in a fandom this big in my life. At least, not one where I don't actively avoid the main ship. (I'm uh, going out on a limb here and assuming Aziraphale/Crowley is the main ship.)

How...how do you manage? How do you navigate? I'm used to being able to read everything posted about $thing in, like, two months tops. People still make recs posts, right? Or did that go out with LJ?

[hekateinhell]

I was going to ask for fic recs and then I remembered I have scoured every last page on ao3 for all three of my ships more than once 😦

You are an incredible gifted artists and I treasure every story you came up with and wrote and gifted us all with the amazing imagination and talent. Your writing and your art are precious and treasured by many of us.

all the love and support <3

sorry i am so much time away - school and work basically suck the life and energy out of me buuuuut whenever I feel depleted, coming here and seeing your amazing art and reading for the countless time your stories, they help.

Hydra Husbands fans stick together *hugs*

Thank you so much, both for the kind words and for taking the time to say them. I am most touched and humbled. 💕 I'm sorry my reply has taken a long time. I wasn't sure what to say.

I can't wait to get back to reading fic (after my work is finished later this year) and finding out what you and everybody else have been up to while I've been busy! I am saving up all the delightful fic to read like a hoard of sweeties.

You deserve rest after school and work. There's no rush.

I am glad you find fandom fic and art restorative. I find it soothing to make things, so there will be more (maybe too many?) but it is terrifying to share them, especially when they are different from what other people make, and sometimes different from what they like. Your enthusiastic love for things is very valuable, and it makes me happy to see.

people be talking about defending their mains from all the haters,,,,ma’am this fandom ain’t even big enough to have haters

[azrael-the-lucifan]

When there are a bunch of fics in your small fandom that have amazing plots but they include a ship you can’t stand so you don’t wanna read them but you’ve exhausted all the other fics in the fandom.

Double sad when said ship is the most popular ship in the fandom.

[lmx-v3point3]

The Granddaughter is nonbinary based on all evidence we have thus far.

Therefore Dot/Cleo is not a f/f ship.

I am fully aware that there aren't enough f/f ships in the world. Can I introduce you to the cannon f/f ship in this SAME MEDIA, Evie/Micky.

Or you know, embrace the nb/f.

Small Fandom Problems

when there´s a finished poll on ur dash about one of your small fandoms and the most voted response is "i don´t know these characters" or "i don´t know this manga":

[child--ish]

i'm just a girl, cursed to like many books but only truly get attached to the ones with small-ish fandoms

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.
