#sorry. no option for not a jrwi fan.

jrwi fans, im curious

[zroqravity]

insane to me that the jrwi boys have stopped posting any free content??? like???????????? fans who dont want to pay will loose interest and fans who dont care for the new content will stop paying? it is a lose lose????? would it kill them to post the suckening to youtube or whatever????????? it just makes no sense to me

Especially now with the hiatus! It's so fucking greedy imo, making it so that the only way your fans can access 99% of your content be by paying while saying its just "bonus optional content" is REALLY weird, I get that they need to make a living, but they can use the patreon for stuff like the rolled, exclusive art, SOME exclusive campaigns etc. But alienating the majority of your audience because they aren't willing to pay is really stupid and I think we all know how it generally goes (the watcher thing was litrally like a month ago) Not to mention that it makes the patreon seem worth less to the people paying, they are basically just paying for stuff they previously got for free! And I've seen fans being less interested in jrwi because of it! My self included! I love the charecters, stories, and fandom, and I've loved them for years, but i find myself having a hard time actually watching the show due to this. Sorry for the incoherent rant, it's something I've been thinking about a lot for a long time, I know this isn't the most put together thing out there, but whatever, lmao

i provide letters with the intent of seeing your opinion on fandom things, please enlighten me

I / O / S / Z

thank you 🙏

HAUNNTT HI

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

not really? for the most part its just made me get deeper into fandom lol. like ive started reading botw fics bc of the tumblr fandom and its been very fun

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

ooo i shuffled my liked songs and got the song "after the war" by reinaeiry and. :( it reminds me of lizzie and ayva if they had gotten the chance to be together without any pirate or navy bullshit . oughhh now im sad :( they are so tragic like waghhhh i know u dont know them but. shaking my lil gremlin hands at you they were so in love and ayva just haunts riptide's story sm i love them... daily propaganda go watch jrwi riptide for tragic lesbians..... :(

on the other hand it could totally be about albatrio or polypirates. wagh.

oh and speaking of lizzie/ayva cafe 1930 is a them song. it has no words but. them.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

RANDOM HEADCANON TIMES jay was taught the flute & violin as a kid and while she can play them super good she prefers playing random chords on the ukulele that sound good together :]

gillion he/she and neos pronoun user i will die on this hill sorry . speaking of this genderfluid chip & trans girl jay always. and butch edyn

chip loves singing he sings so much random words while he's doing chores and singing sea shanties arlin taught him or singing ollie to sleep. jay teases him endlessly about the lullabies he sings to ollie

animal lover jay is canon but. she loves animals so much. just adores them so much she will pet any animal that comes up to her she doesn't care about rabies. she's tried to make them get a pet other than pretzel so many times. im sooooo tempted to write a fic where jay smuggles a cat on board and yes it will be navyseal

jay loves sketching like mundane scenes in her life rlly colorfully and dramatic and with a lot of meaning behind it. like u know that one drawing that's like "i realized something about human connection but im too drunk to write it so i drew it" ??? thats how she draws. she dips her toes in landscapes :)

gill loves drawing ppl. his family, his sister, random ppl on the street, etc etc !!! he has gotten really good since when he first started but he goes through random bouts of self doubt where he refuses to draw

chip doodles random shit really and he does it on EVERY piece of paper he can find the corners of their map is covered in tiny doodles. these include angry doodles of niklaus looking very mischievous and pretzel with a big knife.

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING BUT UUHHHHH OH im working on a thingy that im hoping to turn into a youtube video :DD basically i love the game unpacking and the way it tells it's story is phenomenal and the casual representation and the art style and music and relatability and everything about the game is amazing !!!! i have been doing so much research and typing in google doc im so excited to get working on it :3 ive played the game at least 10 times i lveo it. this is fan related bc i am a fan and i say so <3

[moonfruito]

hold on i'm really curious sorry to be a swiftie in public but i'm actually not sorry at all i need to know

Okay so now that this poll is done, I was curious about the OTHER votes, so because I have about a billion more important things I SHOULD be doing but don't wanna, I went through and took a tally.

So, the poll got 3,058 votes total.

That means that, with 14.1% of the vote, Voltron - our indisputable winner (it sure was my vote...) got 427 votes.

Of the 10 I included, the one that got the LEAST votes is Glee, or 83 votes.

Now, keeping in mind that not everyone who voted "other" wrote something in, the "other" breakdown is:

MCYT (especially DSMP specifically) - 49 people mentioned MCYT in the tags, that's 1.6% of all the votes, and it surely would have been higher if I'd had it as an explicit option.

Dragon Age: 23 votes

Homestuck: 19 votes

The Magnus Archives: 12 votes

Naruto: 12 votes

Marvel Cinematic Universe: 12 votes

Mo Dao Zu Shi: 10 votes

RWBY: 8 votes

Our Flag Means Death: 7 votes

Teen Wolf: 6 votes

One Direction: 6 votes

Everything else (5 or fewer votes): ace attorney, arcane, asagao, atla, attack on titan, ben 10, black butler, bsd, buffy, call of duty, check please, chinese rpf, chuck e cheese, classic rock, critical role, dangan ronpa, danny phantom, dcu, dimension 20, disney, doctor who, ducktales, emo bandom, f1, ff, fma, fnaf, furry fandom, game of thrones, genshin impact, good omens, halo, hamilton, hazbin hotel, hetalia, hhtyd, hlvrai, inception, invincible, jrwi, keeper of the lost cities, kingdom hearts, lego, loz, miraculous ladybug, mlp, monster high, newsies, obey me, object show, one piece, pandora hearts, persona, pjo, pokemon, project sekai, rick and morty, riverdale, rooster teeth, roswell, rottmnt, sanders sides, sasi, scp, shera, sims, sonic, southpark, star trek, star vs the forces of evil, stargate, steam powered giraffe, supergirl, taylor swift, taz, the bright sessions, the magicians, the sussex squad, transformers, twoset violin, umbrella academy, warhammer, warrior cats, warriors, wtnv, yu gi oh,

(I got a little lazy with abbreviations, sorry).

Clearly, I should have included MCYT, and probably Dragon Age and Homestuck, in the original, in place of Glee, Supernatural, and Undertale, but overall, I think I actually did manage a pretty good list of the top 10.

Also, to be clear: every fandom has a percentage of toxic people, and it's usually about the same percentage - around 1%. But what can make a fandom more or less toxic is how vocal that 1% is and how empowered they got by people serving as loud leaders and directing the vitriol. That's a lot of why Voltron stands out: the people who were most toxic in the Voltron fandom were very organized in their toxicity. They weren't just minding their own business spewing vitriol, they were collectivizing to implement major harassment campaigns against other fans and against the show runners.

Basically, the toxicity of a fandom = popularity + how networked the toxic people are.

Don't take this to mean you should avoid any fandom, though! In the end, a fandom is about you and the ten other people you scream about it with. Liberally block the people who make you uncomfortable or unhappy or who you disagree with or whose behavior makes you feel unsafe, and you'll have a much more positive experience, no matter where your fandom home is.

Anyway, I had fun with this survey, especially reading peoples' responses. Thanks to everyone who voted and extra to those who reblogged with commentary.

So this poll from @pollsnatural asked if Supernatural was the most toxic fandom people have been in, and the vast majority of folks said no, so now - based on some fandoms in the replies of that post - I'm curious...

Runners up from the linked poll include Teen Wolf, MCU, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once Upon a Time, sports RPF, Minecraft YouTube, Dragon Age, Mo Dao Zu Shi, One Direction, a bunch of others, and a few abbreviations I'm not familiar with lmao.

I'm guessing "other" will win this poll - tell me which in the tags! I'm curious if there's any Really Big One I should have included (probably MCU...it was hard to juggle "size/popularity of fandom" with "relative toxicity" like if a fandom is huge it's usually just more toxic in general cause there are the same number of weirdos per capita but way more people overall, ya know?)

anyway. yes. poll. do the thing.
