I just love it when Luke and Nic reacts to the show. They are so invested itâs like theyâve never seen it and theyâre not the actors playing in it đ
But also this clip of their reaction has me laughing when they mentioned they had to reshoot the scene
And thank god they did. Otherwise the fandom wouldnât only be on fire right now. There would be a freakin riot and a takedown of Netflix headquarters
#you guys the season was meant to be darker like we were told originally#and judging by the reaction to the entrapment line a darker season would really have sealed the fate on Bridgerton#more so than now#and you are all asking for the original uncut version when really the original uncut version just had more anger and not more sex#sometimes this fandom makes me laugh#sorry but I had to say it#Iâm being highly entertained#polin#bridgerton#bridgerton season 3

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...?
#discourse#<- because. yeah.#this isn't meant to start a discourse this is more me laughing about Fandoms Is The Same#its also why i'm not bringing up the More Serious types of Fandoms Is The Same because i don't want to make light of it#and am instead bringing up the pettier ones#this sparked initially by someone acting like duo names are a this-fandom only phenomenon after years of being a ygo fan#and i was like. oh i've done this song and dance many a time.#and then i was thinking about posts complaining about things like fd and ships and everything else and i was like. oh that's an OLD song#so here. so we all remember sometimes that we all suffer together lol#this isn't a vague of anyone in particular i just constantly waver about making this specific post#anyway back to my usual discourse-free self

Things that happened in Martyn & Cleo Double Life canon:
Cleo hoping to find her soulmate and start a life with them
Cleo dumping Martyn without giving him a chance to explain his side of the story, but hearing him out when he comes to her later
Martyn watching Cleo through his spyglass and telling the audience she seems safe and happy even though he thinks it's weird she's outside at night
Martyn, after he's had time to consider how he wants to play this, spinning a story about trying to be a provider for her and Cleo explaining that she wanted him, not things
Cleo not being remotely impressed by the "I was providing" sob story, lol
Martyn calling Cleo selfish for choosing to be with Scott because she's supposed to be HIS soulmate and he wants a partner
Cleo willing to forgive Martyn if he meets them halfway
Martyn refusing to meet them halfway because he doesn't think he did anything wrong
Martyn screaming about how Cleo's building bridges with Scott but "When will she think about mending our bridges???"
Martyn explaining to Cleo that he doesn't understand why his Session 1 actions bothered them
Martyn centering his character arc and roleplay on trying to win Cleo back without actually apologizing
Cleo giving Martyn a flower and stating that if he loses it, she'll be real cross with him
Cleo chasing Martyn out of her yard because he tried to put an HOA sign on her base and she wanted to make it clear that she wasn't associated with them and their hate for his base (even though she does think his heart base is strange)
Martyn attacking Cleo after she said attacking is a form of affection to her
Cleo setting boundaries with Martyn and explaining what he can do to get her back
Cleo sighing when Scar set her up on a date with Martyn, but taking the chance to talk to him instead of walking out
Cleo genuinely wanting Martyn in her alliance
Martyn and Cleo giggling constantly when they chat
Scar asking if Martyn wanted him to play a romantic music disc for him and Cleo (and Martyn getting excited and saying yes)
Martyn offering to take Cleo's armor and weapons to the deep dark so he can enchant them and bring them back while she stays safe
Cleo gifting Martyn diamonds, expecting nothing in return but not wanting him to die from lack of a good sword
Martyn and Cleo forming a secret alliance that allows Cleo to live with Scott while being on good terms with Martyn
Martyn expressing frustration that Cleo wants to keep this alliance secret because he wants them to be public allies; Cleo softly shushes him when people approach and might overhear
Martyn telling Cleo that she's putting out a lot of mixed signals because she keeps reeling him in and then pushing him away, claiming he is very confused about where he stands with her
Martyn teasing Cleo by punching her off a cliff and accidentally killing her and feeling so bad about it that he apologizes profusely despite roleplaying as someone who refused to apologize for Session 1
Martyn and Cleo immediately threatening Bdubs together when he said hi to them while they were hanging out, sdkfj
Martyn genuinely apologizing to Pearl for dumping her after Session 1
Martyn hiding under Cleo's bed while she defends him from an enderman attack
Cleo offering to let Martyn move into her house after Etho and Joel grief his base; Martyn saying he might take her up on that
Cleo and Martyn agreeing to move out and base together at Box
Cleo trusting Martyn with the location and resources of her red life base
Martyn rushing to Cleo's aid in the deep dark and trying to turn everyone against him instead
Cleo responding to Martyn's panicked shouts for her to eat by opening her inventory to get food (and drowning because she forgot she was in water)
Cleo hanging back and letting Martyn attack Scott while she does nothing to stop him from doing so, implying as much as she likes Scott, she won't kill Martyn (and herself) for him (and/or she trusted Scott to handle himself even though he ran away while Martyn was shooting at him)
Things that did not happen:
Cleo unwilling to forgive Martyn or consider being his friend and partner
Martyn and Cleo hating each other
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
#Listen. listen. I understand. but consider... them#Zombiewood#ZombieCleo#Martyn InTheLittleWood#Limited Life canon: Cleo making Martyn godfather to her kids#I 100% support everyone taking their own interpretations from the episodes-#but I often see ''Martyn and Cleo hate each other'' and I wonder ''Did we even watch the same thing?''#and with so many POVs that only see them from the outside perhaps we did not!! So consider... them. Let's rotate them <3#This post is about the sheer amount of 'Martyn dumps Cleo for Ren' fics tagged Martyn/Cleo vs. minimal affectionate fics. help??#also fics where Martyn/Mumbo was canon but Martyn claims he was never attracted to him- only Ren?? Fascinating.#sir can the whole plot be about that because hold up I feel like we should unpack your loveless marriage before you date Ren#I will 100% read a story about you charging into marriage with Mumbo and then going ''Uh I just made a big mistake.'' hilarious#I mean I'm not Ren but if my crush confessed he never loved his husband in the first place I feel like I'd have Questions#To each their own! And I for one greatly enjoy how much Martyn will chase Cleo without humbling himself. lol. idiot. get wrecked.#but just to be clear I am a huge fan of break-up 'fics and choosing to be with someone you want. ergo my interest in Grian/BigB#This post is about Martyn/Cleo and Grian/BigB being fandom rarepairs despite having canon interest in each other#which is 100% fine because everyone should write what they want but!! Come rotate them with me because they are so fun and silly#Grian the man who deliberately cuts comments about Grian/Scar and Martyn/Mumbo from his vids but pursues BigB?? hilarious#In-universe this man went from ''Romance? I do not see it'' to ''Actually I want the cute cookie man'' and took the leap??#Yes king tell me more about this journey of self-discovery. I am aspec-beam'ing you.#Anyway. Need more Martyn/Cleo in my life which is why I'm writing fics of that and other people write fics about what they like <3#but sometimes people don't like it when I pair Martyn and Cleo because ''They hate each other'' and I laugh sfdlkj

non queer girls are like: Of course im an ally! I love fetishizing gay men!!
#its always either the âuwu boys are so cute and softâ or just reading tons of smutty fanfic just cuz its 2 dudes#i used to worry i was fetishizing mlm relationships when i was an egg but seeing people who actually do it makes me laugh at how wrong i wa#i see these kinds of girls in fandom a lot#esp for fiction aimed towards a younger demographic#and sometimes it makes those fandoms not worth being in#Nico diangelo is very important to me but I avoid content about him and solangelo because people are so weird about it#ranting in the tags#idk i feel like people dont take the fetishization of achilleans as seriously as when it happens to sapphics#mlm#achillean#gay#queer#gay men#idk what else to tag this as

the fun thing about being a nonshipper who's forcibly desensitized themself to romance so they can actually survive in fandom spaces is i am truly free. nothing can stop me. evryone is dating everyone and no one at once. and i get so much gorgeous art and fanfic
#woe. confusion be upon thee#I'll reblog any ship if i like the art or it makes me laugh#yall better have ur hated ships blacklisted lmao#cuz i Do Not Care#that said obviously i have some ships that im more of a fan of#but usually that's just because i like seeing those character interacting more in general#zukaang is big for thag#and then the attitude of the shippers in general also has an impact#zukka shippers i love you so fcukcing much#old fashioned zutara and kataang shippers we need to have a talk#do my anti-romance feelings still flare sometimes#yes#i am aro/ace and sometimes i just want to feel seen in fandom spaces#but im trying to force myself away from feeling bitter about other people having fun#if i want platonic stuff it is out there#and i can make more of it#and in the meantime i shall celebrate the aspects of romantic ships that i do enjoy

have you ever had to deal with hate in a fandom if so how do you deal with it?
Hmm maybe be a little more specific? Do you mean hate in general or hate directed at me? Tbf I kinda deal with both in the same way lol and that is: the block button is your best friend!! If someone is being downright awful and toxic in your fandom space, or if you're getting hate messages for no reason, you don't have to deal with that. For me specifically I usually don't try to start shit (sometimes I do tho LOL without meaning to. If someone says smth nasty and I have a rebuttal there are times where I do answer back even tho it's probably best not to give haters any attention). Just block and move on. You get to curate your own fandom space, if smth makes you uncomfortable you don't have to put up with it. Just make sure it's not YOU that's being the asshole. People will call you out for that and sometimes you need to hear it. (It's happened to me more than once.)
Also keep in mind that not everyone will agree with you, and that's okay! I've had my fair share of disputes bc of ships or opinions or whatever else, and that's just bc people like different things, or have differing opinions. It's impossible to get everyone to agree with you, or for you to agree with everyone else. And that's how it SHOULD be :")
Just take care of yourself out there! Block people who are rude or make you uncomfy, be respectful when someone challenges your opinion, and have fun!!
Basically this is my philosophy LMAO
#IF IT SUCKS HIT DA BRICKS!!! That's all!#Shima answers questions#Most of the hate I've gotten are from trolls. I usually just block and move on with my life#Sometimes I will post memes in response bc it makes me laugh#But yeah again. YOU can curate your own fandom experience#I usually never run into the toxic corners of fandoms bc I avoid them like the plague#And block any of the real problematic people

once again sorry to everyone for bringing this to your dashboards. but some of you are like, genuinely delirious. not even in a funny way. & i hope you die. i hope we both die. hand in unlovable hand etc etc
#Just so fucking bizarre to me how people can be Like This. there has to be something so wrong with your brain on a fundamental level#i canât even laugh about this or anything because i genuinely feel pity for these people. itâs so sad to me how youâre gonna be like 20#and then go in a niche tumblr community and create drama over Nothing. over Thin Fucking Air#like do you not have a life? do you not have college? or a job? doesnât it get tiring? donât you ever feel ashamed about all this#and the fact that they go and complain about the shipping and the âfandombrainedâ people as wellâŚ. oh my god#how are you going to be TWENTY. and DO THAT. are you seriously sick. ? do you need help#just say you are homophobic and that you hate kids and go. itâll save everyone a bunch of time for sure#anyways. as someone who has been a rain world fan since 2018. i love you embracing canon. i love you changing canon. i love you disregarding#canon entirely. i love you ships that make sense in canon & that make absolutely zero sense at all. i love you fancharacters that donât#follow canon rules. i love you âcringeâ fancharacters and self inserts. i love you self shipping. i love you oc x canon shipping.#and i love you taking inspiration from designs. i love you community & i love you artists & i love you art#i love you borrowing elements and being inspired and referencing something because you liked it.#are fandoms perfect? GOOD GOD no. is every Fan perfect? no. am i also sometimes annoyed or irrationally pissed off over a ship that#i think is stupid and is illogical. Yes! iâm only human! but i can still love and appreciate the whole CREATIVITY of it all. and the whole#Fun that people are having. i love you having fun. if i donât like it or if anyone else doesnât like it they can just Cope#instead of hateposting about it on main and indirectly bullying people who are most likely children. or lgbt. or both#anyways. please continue doing whatever you want. The world is your oyster and you only live on earth once#everyone else can fuck off

Alternative universe Poland (doesn't know what GDL is)
It makes me sad that my boy Samogitia is always erased from GDL and then Commonwealth. Samogitia not so willingly merged with Lietuva because of Teutons and politics, yk, he was a power strong enough for Lithuania adding him to the official GDL name. Samogitian bear was borrowed by Commonwealth and became the Polish bear, and then Polish bear was stolen by communists and became the russian bear. If people sometimes try to add Ukraine and Belarus to Commonwealth at least as maids (still bruhđđđ) then Samogitia is just absent, like it never existed.
#probably people don't add him (as well as Ukraine and Belarus) because that would make lietpol look hella weird#objectively Poland has no reasons to be obsessed with GDL Lietuva#that's why fandom art makes me laugh sometimes#e.g. the 'stop courting belarus' art always makes me smile#hetalia#hws poland#aph poland#hws lithuania#aph lithuania#hws belarus#aph belarus#hws samogitia#aph samogitia#grand duchy shenanigans

Of course, little destiel shipper who wasn't even born when x-files premiered, msr won that poll because wincesties were voting out spite. Whatever helps you sleep at night, kid.
#mulder and scully#destiel#tumblr polls#msr#fandom wank#ridiculous fandom stuff that help me get out of bed in the morning and genuinely makes me laugh#I'm not a Destiel hater or anything like that#but it's hard not to be sometimes

I was scrolling through shipping confessions and there sure are a lot of people who donât know how shipping works throwing around âfetishizing gay men/peopleâ. The Naruto fandom really likes to throw around very serious and very baseless accusations, huh?
#Sometimes this fandom makes me laugh and other times it drains my energy to nothing#anti naruto fandom#naruto shippuden#naruto#rambling#my stooff

#i don't know what's it with tiktok but i either cry or become really sad/disappointed when i watch some videos#now there was one about driver pairings people think are close not actually being close (especially charlos) and while i know that's almost#everything between teammates is for pr but... it just can't understand why they have to pretend this much if they really are not close or#not friends or anything like that. like... they could act normal.#and when i think about this pr shit/them acting like they're close i feel bad for liking them together and believing that their#relationship really is how it looks like it is#i feel so naive and it feels so childish to find happiness in a relationship where almost everything is for pr#like... i can feel people laughing at me for liking this or that pairing and calling me blind and things like that#i've seen so many toxic things in this fandom it's hard not to remember them. and sometimes i just don't know how to ignore what other#people say/think#like... this is a fictional world here. especially when it comes to shipping/enjoying pairings#and i should be able to ingore some things and focus on the things that make me happy but sometimes i just can't#and in times like this i just want to stop writing about them so people wouldn't think what my brain tells me they think when they see it#my useless posts

gonna write a fic in a tiny and dead fandom as rent-control shots
#writing in atsv and being like 'wow this is great!' for a few days before remembering that ohhhh i don't actually like that much attention#on my fics esp#i'm gonna write. idk. [spins the wheel] an oc-centric magi fic with jamil as the protag#delete later#laughing so hard bc i hit 1k kudos and was like aight that's it folks i'm out this is Too Much Maybe#hbfjgoiwejkd i did my time! i got the love! now please let me squeeze into a little dead fandom corner to never get more than 10 kudos pls#i don't think there's anything half as funny as people going 'this deserves more love'#while i'm here raccoon baby like 'oh actually it could do with a bit less. like 75% less.'#'the journey' having less than 40 kudos is so ideal to me actually. if i get one comment every other chapter i'm happy. that's a good amount#this is not to say having a lot of comments and such do not make me happy. they make me SO happy. i love readers and commenters#just to say i think fanfic is sometimes meant to be a lil scrap of paper shared between you and two other randos on the internet and 'sall#UPDATE: 2 hours later i did. in fact. post an oc-centric magi fic with jamil as the protag

"his lips tasted like ice and sin"
#so ive been reading this mega popular super long fic for a fandom i dont care about for a ship i dont care about (a procrastination method)#anyway ive read too much of it and felt obligated to keep going but i disliked it more with each chapter#coming at it from an emotional distance helped make it something of a mental writing exercise: pull it apart see why and how it works#my envious little writer heart just wants to know (i mean the stats on this bitch were rising in real time)#but i come upon the above sentence and i let out the ugliest laugh#i stop reading the fic just to process the silliness of what i just read#cue later i reopen the tab and my eyes instantly land on that sentence#suffice to say today i am free of that fic#its on me i shouldve stopped reading when the love interest was described as a 'fallen angel of death'#and its like the writer instantly realized what she's done so the next paragraph immediately starts with 'it was a cliche'#yeah girl it is#(love it when an author leaves their mental self-negotiations over a writing choice right there in the published text)#my decision to stop reading even tho im past the halfway point means i no longer have to read about eyebrows 'quirking inquisitively'#altho sometimes the eyebrow quirks questioningly; often curiously; one time it quirked disapprovingly; but its always quirking & so are lip#and people 'roll their jaws' (no i dont know what that means)#its a fanfic so im fine if the love interest smells like 'oakmoss and papyrus' (sillier scents have been sniffed on love interests)#but if you tell me he smells that way more than 7 times in the span of a few chapters i start having objections#given how many times it was mentioned i started wondering if its plot relevant (its not)#i have so many more thoughts but i like writing in the tags because its the tumblr equivalent of muttering out loud to myself#you might ask 'jyu why are you shredding someone else's work' the answer can be found in the words of contemporary philosopher lil nas x:#'i wanna fuck the ones i envy'

#âhow could they do this to alyssa!!â well first of all. they didnt. that was a dream sequence #2nd. alyssa was not well developed enough for yall to fuck w her this hard! #she was a tomboy who died in childbirth. she gets like 3? 4? paragraphs of a history text #like WHYYYY do u CAAAAREEE (via @seaworthee)
#yeah her popularity took me by surprise #she's just incredibly Convenient to the men around her #wild but not in a defiant way #so totally into her incest marriage she is making sure everyone has the details on her sex life #saucy 'as a barmaid' but entirely devoted to only one guy from toddlerhood #twenty sons - no girls allowed #and then she dies young enough not to develop any inconvenient flaws that come with age and maturity (via @agentrouka-blog)
#I swear people get so obsessed with these barely fleshed out f&b characters bc they're essentially OCs they can project whatever onto #oh how dare they not give your favorite OC her special heterochromia in a scene where she's literally part of a nightmare and not real (via @willowrosenberg1997)
#if i have to read one more post about how hotd ruined her... #she's a bullshit character that screams written by a man #sorry not sorry (via @caffeinosis)
