when youāre reading a fic and the author starts using nationalities to refer to the characters is such a pet peeve of mine. like why are we getting the government involved? why is the kingdom of Spain being invoked in this sweet little carcar story?
I think I hate it the most with max - just say āheā instead of āthe Dutchmanā like it truly feels so extra and a bit amateur (in the nicest way) as a writing choice and no really great fic ever does it.
and the term āMonegasqueā is genuinely such an insane demonym, i feel like it automatically disturbs the flow of a fic if itās used too much. like why is it being said so frequently - āthe Monegasque held the Dutchmanās handā - what is this, a meeting of the United Nations???
bring back pronouns for fics in 2025!!!
#f1 rpf#maxiel#carcar#lestappen#I know this is a nit-picky thing but it genuinely feels like such a cop out writing habit#I love fic writers sm but we need to leave the nationality based identifiers behind#It is not a crime to say he did x thing or max did x thing instead of saying the flying dutchman max verstappen of the Netherlands did z#dutchman always makes me think of davy jones and his octopus face

WHY ARE PEOPLE LEAVING FANDOM'S? WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT.
So, I have noticed that a lot of my mutual's for many fandom's ( TUA, TWD, Z-NATION, WWDITS, Derry Girls, HOTD, etc. ) have been dropping like flies.
[ I love you my beautiful friends, and I hope one day you will feel comfortable and safe to come back š ]
It got me thinking, why? Why? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! But, after talking to a few of my mutual's on other apps, it came down to mainly three common things with these mutual's. ( note, this is not for every fandom / fan, this was just the mutual's that I talked to, okay? )


1. The TV show ended, so there isn't much reason to stick around anymore. ( Umbrella Academy, The Walking Dead, Derry Girls, Z-Nation, What We Do in the Shadows, etc. )
Which is valid. If there are no more ( Ex. Sunday episodes for HOTD or Sunday episodes for TWD ) not many fans wanna stick around.
Then, after so many fans leave. It kind of becomes a 'dead fandom'. Where people sometimes goes back to time to time and be like, "Oh, I remember that show.." for nostalgia.


2. Their interests have changed.
Like any common trend, some people just say, "Nah, I don't like *insert show* anymore. I liked the 5th season and 2nd. But, I'm just not that into *insert genre* tv shows anymore." Again, valid.
Everyone had gone through one kind of phase before. It could have been books ( PJO, HP, etc. ) or fashion ( Skinny jeans, graphic t-shirts, etc. ) or music ( MCR, Blood on the Dance Floor, etc. )
It's fine to grow and change.

3. The fandom doesn't feel like a fandom anymore. This is a BIG one that many have told me.
People are clashing together, book vs tv show fights, character x character ships are constantly hating on each other, death threats are being sent to actors / fans / fanfic writers, you can't share your opinion without someone sending hate, etc.
The best example is HOTD. A fandom that I am in / write for.
Now, now, here me out! I have been very open about the hate in the fandom. You can check. I've gotten hate for writing about highly requested character's ( Aegon, Aemond, etc. ) and I have called out how fans are acting towards each other / actors.
What I don't get is this. We are all in the same fandom.
How did we go from, "Oh, Tom Glynn-Carney is really cute in Aegon's wig. It suits him.", "I have a fan theory that maybe in the next episode they'll do this part from the book because the teaser at the end of the episode it shows..", and, "I hope they put this scene in the show!"
To "Oh, you think Tom Glynn-Carney is cute as Aegon? Well you support r@pe and deserve death threats!", "Oh, you wrote a fanfic / oneshot / etc. for this character? Oh, it has a trope that it being used by a lot of other writers? Here's hate for that!", and, "Tom Glynn-Carney says that Aegon is a complex character...so clearly he supports..."
The main point is that this is why soooooo many of people are dropping out of fandom's. And when people call it out, they either get run out of the fandom as well or blasted for it with death threats.
Fandom's used to be places where people could go to geek out with others. A safe place. It's why there is comic con, etc. People want to know other fans, the want a safe place to go to.
Now, it's become a place where you have to mostly keep your head down low and not say a thing to avoid being run out because you share a different opinion.
In conclusion? I hope that fandom's can be kind to each once again so that people feel safe / comfortable to come back.
To all my beautiful fans who were run out / felt like they had to leave a fandom, I love you and understand why you left. I hope one day you will come back and find joy in the fandom that you once did.
To those of you running out fans / sending death threats. It's you that ruins the fandom. Fandom's were safe places for people, now you've ruined it for those people.
If you don't like a fandom / other fan, you have other options :
1. IGNORE THEM AND LEAVE THEM ALONE!
2. BLOCK A TAG / ACCOUNT YOU DON'T LIKE!
3. DON'T SEND DEATH THREATS!
4. FIND A PART OF THE FANDOM THAT MATCHES YOU AND STICK TO IT!
5. Block their account / tag, ignore them, not send death threats, leave them alone and enjoy the parts of the fandom that matches you.
It's that simple!

hopefully i can get this out there. so i am tagging some of the bigger people i know / follow..

since yāall are starving apparently and i probably need to do a rewatch:
RANDOM CORE MEMORIES FROM THE Z NATION TV SHOW (spoilers ahead!)
Doc saying something like, āIād drink my piss if any would come out šā
An episode where the gang is all trapped in a house for a bit? Specifically Addy is talking to someone in front of the door
Addyās blonde boyfriend being stuck in a dark room with a bunch of zombies and Addy being too late to save him (last sight of him was him being nommed on by a bunch of zombos)
Roberta trying to mercy kill Doc (he wasnāt dead, he just got out of a bad placeā¢ļø)
Murphy carrying Lucy as a baby and them being followed by walkers whom he tells to get lost
Lucyās adoptive family and Addy telling Lucy that zombies are dangerous for non-blue people
Sketchy and Skeezy doing an election where one of them proposes that they create a giant hole for all the walkers to fall into
Murphy being put in a cage with a bunch of other zombies (this was first season, i remember āļø)
A character that looked like/had the same vibes as Rick Grimes? but he died in the first season
The opening scene of season one being Roberta mercy killing someoneās grandpa (i think this gave me the perception that this world was safer?)
Having a BIG amount of gender envy towards Lucy (watched the show as a kid and being safe from zombies while having a killer jacket was epic to me)
Suicide cult in a gated community
Lucy saying she would scream if her captor didnāt do something she wanted (while they were clothes shopping) + Lucy getting her period in that same episode
Lucyās death ā¹ļø
I donāt know why but 10k also just exists in my head; nothing clear about him except that little me was waiting for him to make his first appearance (cause i saw my dad watching the show first which is how i got interested)
OH, ANTI-FERAL ZOMBIE COOKIES
and i think thatās all of my core memories bro, idk š
#i thought the fandom would be livelier and i was so pumped to see people talkin about the gang </3#somewhat of a win though that itās not a dead fandom that ONLY has posts about the one character everyone thinks is hot#we got some analysis in here iām proud of that š#z nation

Exam paper.
USERNAME LORE GIVE IT TO ME NOW YOU ALL
#jailrose came from an exam paper#i'm not joking#so when i was in my first year of junior high school we had our midterms right#the subject at the time was history#and there were these parts in the exam where you unjumble the incorrect words to form the actual word#one of the words there was āJAIL ZROSEā#which when unjumbled should be āJOSE RIZALā which is our national hero here in the Philippines#but i thought JAIL ZROSE was really cool#just... remove the Z#so then it became jailrose#and now i can't seem to choose another username cuz i got too attached#thank you to my teacher for THAT part of the exam btw never would've gotten a cool username without you

A wonderful letter- but Loay should keep in mind that Gen Z doesnāt remember 9/11 because they were in diapers or not even a glimmer in their parents eyes.
Itās the asinine millenials (and to my shame I know thereās a handful), that should be reminded of 9/11. The youngest millennial would have been in kindergarten when it happened. They might not have remembered all of that day, but thereād be key points.
And then anyone older is justā¦..yeah, willful ignorance or hidden antisemitism.

#I was in middle school#there was a friend of mine whose sister had to go through the subway station that was under the towers to get to work#and she worked nearby#her mom picked her up in the mid morning#I remember being confused as to why she was scared#and then i learned what happened after school and I was also very scared#some middle school teachers wheeled in a tv so their kids could watch the news as it was happening#my math teacher decided on ābusiness as usualā#then before I went home there was a leaflet passed out we were to give to our parents#about how to tell your kids about massive traumatic national event#*a massive#my mom walked me back home which she didnāt do since I was 12 and old enough to walk home#I was in shock and just watched Backstreet Boys music videos until dinner#the most immediate visual effect that happened was airport security#but there was also widespread fear and unity#then fear and paranoia#I had a friend who I never knew was Muslim until she virtually vanished#I didnāt find out why until a few years later#I wouldnāt be shocked if her parents pulled her out and she went elsewhere#the Islamophobia was REALLY BAD soon after that#Gen z just doesnāt know#and they donāt want to#itās gross
