Honestly, I'm just happy to see goncharov all over again. I genuinely hope this turns out as good as it

I take back everything I fucking said. 500 for a short film? During these times aswell? That's insane!!

Not to mention the comments aren't even on thirst traps. I will genuinely blow my brains out if i see another comment on a random artist's post talking abt some zepotha shit when the video isn't even about it.

Lmfaoo back again after like a year idk why I was so mad but I am keeping this post up because I wanna laugh at myself

Joost has been DQ'd from Eurovision.

Fucking Unfair!

I hope the rest of the contestants walk out from the competition in support of Joost and for Bambie and Marina to throw an axe on Genocide Barbie's face.

Edit: Also hoping for Olly to finally fucking lose his cool and give Genocide Barbie a piece of his mind!

I didn't buy the new Life is Strange because it wouldn't fit in my monthly budget... but looking at the reviews, it seems I dodged a bullet.

So I opened Tumblr this morning, and I saw something about shipping drama in The Sun and Moon Show fandom???

Anyone want to explain? I've been doing class all day.

no stranger feeling than watching a movie, realizing it absolutely Sucks on every fucking metric possible, going online to find out what people at the time were saying about how much it sucked, just to discover it is the most beloved movie of the franchise and how its blockbuster popularity ushered in a renaissance for the franchise

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

This is petty fandom salt, BUT... I've been chewing on this phenomenon that I've been calling "Fandom's Darling". It is related to things like "Author's Darling" and "Mary Sue / Gary Stu" and "Protagonist Halo" and all that jazz, where one character gains a peculiar narrative weight in a story.

"Author's Darling" is when a writer has a favorite character, and the world and all other characters sort of get... warped to put the Darling in the spotlight. It's most noticeable in TV shows with multiple writers, when a character you personally like suddenly has their previous characterization destroyed to make another character look good somehow. Every other character might become weirdly incompetent. The Darling's feelings are treated as The Most Important Feelings in any given situation. The logic of the fictional world seems broken past suspension of disbelief in order to validate this one character's beliefs or skillset or some other fantasy. And so on.

"Fandom's Darling" is what I've been calling the pattern where a fandom essentially crowns a New Protagonist for their fanfiction stories (it's often a side character rather than the original protagonist, but it can also happen to protagonists). This character becomes the self-insert for all sorts of indulgent fantasies, gaining special powers or backstories, and/or becoming the focus of extreme whump, and/or hooking up with all the various hotties, starring in all sorts of tropey AUs, and so on. They're not always an obvious Mary Sue version of themselves, but the character's original personality and interpersonal relationships tend to get warped or dropped completely, and other characters tend to become a little flat around them. I call it "Fandom's Darling" because it's not just one self-indulgent fantasy fic (you do you! Have fun!) with characterization choices that I don't vibe with (I have neither the time nor the desire nor the authority to police anything, I am just venting), but rather a prolific mini-fandom of sorts revolving around this empty doll / fanon version of the chosen vessel character, so it becomes a little unavoidable.

I am salty about this (mildly frustrated) (imagine a soft sigh of disappointment before I just go do something else) because you are FUCKED if you actually liked the canonical version of this character and their interpersonal relationships. It's almost worse than liking an obscure character that no one cares about. There's about a thousand fics starring your fave, but maybe only about a dozen of them are actually rooted in any kind of recognisable canon.
