when youā€™re 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 ā€˜heā€™ instead of ā€˜the 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 ā€˜Monegasqueā€™ is genuinely such an insane demonym, i feel like it automatically disturbs the flow of a fic if itā€™s used too much. like why is it being said so frequently - ā€˜the Monegasque held the Dutchmanā€™s handā€™ - what is this, a meeting of the United Nations???
bring back pronouns for fics in 2025!!!

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 šŸ˜˜ ]
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? )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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!

since yā€™all 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, ā€œIā€™d drink my piss if any would come out šŸ˜–ā€
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
Addyā€™s 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 wasnā€™t 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
Lucyā€™s 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 ā˜ļø)
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 someoneā€™s 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 didnā€™t do something she wanted (while they were clothes shopping) + Lucy getting her period in that same episode
Lucyā€™s death ā˜¹ļø
I donā€™t 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 thatā€™s all of my core memories bro, idk šŸ˜­

A wonderful letter- but Loay should keep in mind that Gen Z doesnā€™t remember 9/11 because they were in diapers or not even a glimmer in their parents eyes.
Itā€™s the asinine millenials (and to my shame I know thereā€™s 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 thereā€™d be key points.
And then anyone older is justā€¦..yeah, willful ignorance or hidden antisemitism.
