i want the amount of power that misha collins had over tumblr teens

[yiddishfiles]

I'm so glad I was too dyslexic as a preteen on the Internet to read homestuck. I was aware of homestuck as a preteen, it was in my sphere of emo trinity, Dan and phil, sherlock, undertale fandom and the ONLY reason I didn't read it is because I'm not a good reader. Really dodged a bullet there

what happened to make TW*TTER have spn trending

[bitchysoulblaze]

Uhh idk if anyone else noticed but I'm pretty sure Sherlock just got a 4th season. I might also be super behind because I haven't started watching it yet.

The worst feeling is going into your follower list after a while, scrolling down to the way bottom, then seeing old online friends who haven’t been active in years

I’ll miss the memories of all those old, terrible, but fun as hell RPs and OTP talks

The party, after raiding a bandit camp, find a set of golden keys and a small scroll. The scroll is inscribed with many ancient and foreign languages, but one line in common says "The Keeper gives you permission to enter when you cannot come in".

In the party's dreams, they all see a golden and white tower, clad in fine silver gargoyles, shimmering in the glow of the seven suns. Upon meeting the oak door, which is opened by the set of keys, a tall, slender man, in a great black coat greets them with another set of keys.

"For the library" he says from out of his pointed features. The party enter another room and are greeted with a wave of memories.

This is, what could be called, a mind palace.

man, fans of things are so cool. like, people love things enough to write 11 million works devoted to the things that they love.

that’s not to mention the stuff that isn’t even on AO3 or other works like fanart and edits.

not my most eloquently stated thought, but just, y’all are so cool

The Archive of Our Own Reaches 11 Million Fanworks!

The OTW is pleased to announce that the 11 millionth fanwork has been posted to the Archive of Our Own. From fic to fanart to podfic, every fanwork on AO3 is the result of someone’s love for and dedication to transformative fandom, and we’re grateful for each and every one of your contributions. AO3 wouldn’t be what it is without you!

We’ve hit 11 million fanworks just six months after reaching 10 million fanworks last October. In those six months, Accessibility, Design & Technology has rolled out the ability to mute works, bookmarks, and comments from specific users; Open Doors has imported over 16,000 fanworks from at-risk and offline archives; Tag Wrangling has wrangled over two million tags; and Policy & Abuse and Support have answered approximately 10,000 tickets each. We’re excited to continue to grow and support fans in the coming months, and we look forward to seeing what you create as we do!

2013 tumblr was a whole different thing, and I’m sure in the years before it. I am currently reminiscing on my days as the all-fandoms superwholock emo bands.. basically my high school years.. and I remember watching shows live as they aired.. im so far behind on most of them now.. I don’t know how to engage in fandom anymore 🥲😅 but I sure miss the days when I’d be watching the latest dr who and see pictures from when they were filming the next.. right, and all the memes and references.. when tumblr was my home. I feel so estranged from modern tumblr but I feel like other social media has really clogged up my internet-life.. im actually contemplating deleting Facebook. I’ve just been scrolling through tumblr posts I made 10 years ago when I was 15 and a teenager with a broken heart, I really wish I could achieve those goals I had set back then.. I don’t know where to start 😅 I miss myself. And my tumblr username has evolved a bit since then because of all the times I’ve ran from myself.

superwholock mfs dont deserve rights

I wonder how the superwholockians are doing? They were a species of their own, their collective power truly immense..

I need to know why and how you were anti-phannie from 2014-2016

alright here we go i get to talk about THIS shit now.

i was generally anti-rpf at that point, and honestly? i think it was for fair enough reasons as some people were a bit too eager about showing (general) youtubers stories they wrote about them sucking and fucking their friends. i think i was also pretty high and mighty about being a somewhat oldhead phannie tbh, like ugh do these gaming-channel-only people even know about dan being super edgy and offensive 🙄 and lowkey it was a lot of subtly misogynistic "i'm not like other girls" type shit like i was sooo much better than yall cuz i hadn't watched that video (yet.)

i was generally not into these sorts of fandoms to begin with. i wasnt on the superwhopotterlock side, i was on the homestuck/dangan ronpa/anime of the month side of tumblr, if that gives you an idea of what i was like lol. around 2014-15 i was very much in a community that is kinda similar to what you might see on twitter now, where if you had any interests in media that portrayed anything problematic, that means you are in full support of that problematic thing. if dan howell said something racist in 2010, it doesn't matter that he wasn't being racist in 2015 he's still racist and liking him makes you a racist etc. and of course, rpf is included in problematic topics. if you ship real people, even if said people say they don't mind it, you are a sick pervert and you should be in the loony bin for being so depraved. and if you write or read any fiction that has immoral acts, it means you support those acts in real life too and you are trying to normalize abuse and SA (yknow as if whitecishetpatriarchy hasnt normalized that enough) and you're a danger to children and you deserve to rot in prison (yknow as if a queer person writing stories about queer people hasnt heard that one before)

now here's the real kicker. in 2015-2016 i ran a game grumps fan blog where i did talk about shipping the grumps. "wait how were you anti-rpf if-" well have you ever heard of this thing called Lying? or perhaps even, Cognitive Dissonance? i HAD to run a separate blog for this interest, because if my friends knew i consumed slashfic about arin and danny they would stop being friends with me and think im this evil horrible monster etc. genuinely that was where my brain was at, and is a little bit the reason i decided to this day, to make my phannie accounts completely separate from my main accounts.

nowadays, none of my non-phannie friends actually give a fuck and i do occasionally talk about dnp being silly gay white boys w them! at this point i dont post about em on main just out of respect like "hey im sure you dont actually want to hear about british yaoi constantly regardless of our level of friendship so i'll keep it over here okay?"

also, yeah i grew out of thinking consuming media with deplorable acts makes me deplorable. my favorite tv show is hannibal. i know its shocking, but i dont actually support serial killer cannibals. i will say, i dont fuck with "pro/anti" language with regards to what is considered "problematic" or having that be an identity marker. i think that people are free to write fiction as they please so long as its all properly tagged for people who dont enjoy that kind of content to avoid. but i also think there can be and often are problems in the way these stories are written, and yeah if all the romance stories you read growing up involve some sort of force or danger, that CAN normalize this sort of action as inherent to romance stories/real life romance. but i think thats an issue with like, society at large, and it's not on an individual fic writer to be educating teens who read their dead dove fic despite the explicit rating and tags.

TL;DR: BASICALLY. I WAS A DUMBASS KNOW-IT-ALL BUT DW I GOT BETTER.

All I need is to start watching Doctor Who again and it really will be 2014

[mgistrash]

The amount of trash I have had to wade through to find the few gems of fanfiction that are genuine writing excellence and resonant with the source material is both fantastical as it is ridiculous.

But there is something so deeply satisfying about finding versions of your favorite stories that perfectly scratch all of those "what ifs" and ends it in a way that just feels perfect for the plot, essence, and vibe of the story that wading through said Trash™️ fics just makes it worth it.

There are some things you can never un-read; but one learns how to filter and search accordingly *very* quickly.

Maybe if you're superwholock harrypotter posting in 2021 it's time to kill yourself ❤️

Tumblr wouldn't allow me to properly respond with gifs, so here's a screenshot of my response:
