[willandmichael]

i find it so funny when someone from outside a fandom/niche stumbles upon something kinda outlandish and they think people are being serious when it's either a running joke or something played up for laughs

[caredscared]

based on this ?? insane tweet btw

finally scanned a bunch of images again :) bt21 meme first

[valyrielwrites]

saw the “they lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship” copy pasta on twt and thought about ceo zhongli from ur fic 😔

i went through the seven stages of grief reading this but you are not wrong 😔

[grussell63]

Please may I have a crumb of context for the "You'll never understand...part of this fandom" copy pasta? 🥺

it all vomes from an anon that was sent to the lovely @youllnvrunderstlandofansyoubitch wkgjfks it‘s all coming from the mess that is landos fanbase (not all of you lot, basically twt or insta) lmaoo

opinion on warrior cats (the book series by erin hunter?) i’m a fan of the series, and i wanted to make sure if i’m allowed to interact because though i don’t exclusively post about warrior cats i do know that some people consider warrior cats problematic and don’t want warrior cats fans interacting. also i should say that i don’t support bramblestar’s or thistleclaw’s actions, and i do believe that the erins were in the wrong for handling spottedleaf’s heart so terribly. /copy pasta

KFHSLFJDL GOD. FUCKIN. yall need to stop sending me this shit i havent interacted w warrior cats content in years i thought yall really went the twt route for a second

[commajade]

korean lesbian twt making copy pasta memes for kim seo hyung this is a whole new world

someone put her birthday in a korean astrology (saju) app and the results say she doesn't like men 😭😭

[wtfnari]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHWHHAHAH I LOVE TWT COPY PASTAS THEYRE SO FUNNY

[wtflife01]

hmm no, from my experience Charles rarely ever has blocked people on twt and some tweet really nasty shit to him on purpose to get a reaction. I think he's blocked people who have insulted Seb and some accounts posting copy pastas or downright offensive stuff, he often likes hate comments aimed towards him so you have to go reaally low to get blocked.

i remember him blocking someone that insulted seb, the others idk

[carpedzem]

asashashas yes yes it does exist and it's not that active but still

they don't really do anything unusual, share fanarts and cosplays and memes and mcyt related news. there's one guy who makes mcyt related copy pastas but they are funny only for Poles so I'll spare it to you. people discuss lore a little bit, but I stay away from it mostly. it is a little dead but I think it's because lore is slow. like they honestly to what fandom in general does but in polish (I think that whoever is deep in the fandom, they have tumblr or twt account anyway) once in a while someone asks about dnf fics recommendation and that's always a ride in the comments ashashas they have not accepted that cringe culture is dead so they kinda trying to be cool about some stuff, but it's only a few people

I'm there mostly for the memes and posts that are funny only for polish mcyt fans like this ones

also, there's this add of a shirt, and while I guess most of mcyt fans can get it, I count it because this happened to polish company (and I found out thanks to facebook)

I ask this out of nothing but morbid curiosity...but does the dream smp fandom exist on facebook?

please actually i do want to know this i deleted facebook years ago someone tell me what the dream smp facebook fandom is like

However, how do you imagine this alliance?" hans: *glances at kafka* goethe: we all share a common enemy, do we not? Kafka: *arms crossed* Fukuzawa: "We do..." goethe: then is that not reason enough? Fukuzawa: "Depends on methods...and additional goals you have in mind. Is that all you want, to stop Dostoyevsky?" goethe: well, do you know what he wants? Fukuzawa: "...It's rather oblique, a madness to destroy ability users." goethe: my goal over all is to make the world a better place for ability users, and to share those abilities with those who are less fortunate. all of the members of sturm had rather difficult situations that they were in, many on the verge of despair, i simply granted them their abilities and saved them from their suffering. im not trying some cliche 'take over the world' scheme, im just trying to be a good Samaritan. Fukuzawa: "And where did Ted Hughes fit into that?" goethe:..... 7_7 im only human, i can make mistakes sometimes. Fukuzawa: "...It takes an adult to admit to that. And our Agency hardly has perfect people in it." *looks to Masuji* "What do you think?" masuji: it's normal to make mistakes. it's a part of life, lad. such things do happen. goethe:...i appreciate that, i think.

Dazai: "And it requires a lot of careful attention to how you want to win. Which nations do you take over? Which alliances do you form? But if you want a strategy to bring the game to the end, there is one thing you can do..." atsushi: what's that? Dazai: "Blow it all up." atsushi: ...... Dazai: "There's an idea that, if you can't win, make sure no one else does. It's suicidal..." atsushi:....what does this have to do with the rats? Dazai: "Because when I think about what Dostoyevsky is capable of, if he is really losing, he wouldn't be locked up in a jail cell: he would be destroying everything right now." atsushi:.......

Kunikida: *nods* hirotsu: hmmm... higuchi: katya would be more than willing if it means going up against dostoevsky. Fukuzawa: "I can not ascertain the trustworthiness of their organization, yet having additional resources against the Rats cannot be a bad thing." hirotsu: that is a good point...
