#you're gonna double down

[ajunicetryagain]

nothing worth anything is built on purity.

we will all get things wrong. we will all say the wrong thing or pick the wrong people or make the wrong choice.

all of us.

you deserve grace to come back from your fuck ups and your honest mistakes without being lectured or belittled along the way and you know what? so does everyone else.

all of us.

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

Blessing of the knitter/crocheter: may your hands never have cuts, bruising, sores, hangnails, or any other nuisance that would make your craft painful. May your hands and wrists never ache 🪷💛

The way people get so weird about Shadria makes me wanna scream. What do you mean "well in CANON they're [insert label] and they CANONICALLY don't see each other romantically so it's weird and you can't ship it!!" My sibling in Christ, Sonadow is the most popular ship in this fandom. Y'all don't gaf about canon 💀

People will preach about not letting canon shackle your shipping experience in fandoms until it's a ship they don't like or deem "problematic" then all of a sudden the canon relationship status matters and shipping it now means that you think it's canon. But the same rules don't apply to other non canon ships. Just say you personally don't like it and pick a lane for goodness' sake.

y'all ever think about how j.oongi wears eyeliner 😳 I do. A lot haha.

[clamorybus]

listen to me. stop rbing ed and thinspo posts with memes telling them to eat. just block/report and move on. diet culture is dangerous and vile but trying to be snarky at people who're clearly struggling helps no one. in fact you're more likely to cause them to double down in their unhealthy behaviors

[thomas-the-goat-of-satan]

oh. and by the way. the racism that both Louis and Claudia face?? it's not like. a Subtle story detail. it's quite possibly one of the most overt throughlines of the story, actually. to be pretty Blatantly racist while simultaneously claiming to enjoy a show that from Day One has been examining anti-blackness and the forms that it can take is like. a little bit astounding. the cognitive dissonance is phenomenal; it would almost be impressive if it wasn't so gross. my god. "reverse racism." tsk. please. maybe we should all try growing a fucking brain as we venture further into the new year. hmm?? maybe we should try that.

I don't think this is Moe's first offense (saying something brazen/flippant) but I do think it's the first time it's called the King a bitch. And it won't be the last! The funniest part of Anna being the one to take charge and chew Moe out is that it gives Moe the opportunity to do The Exact Same Thing to Alfonse one-on-one (you know... to test the waters... to see how he feels about it....). Which it is. Also promptly chastised for.

FAVE PANELS...

clown behavior on my 🐦 timeline again 😭😭😭

[sasakisniko]

I want to be clear before I start that this mini rant isn't in regard to any one thing, but more a trend I've seen in fandom in general for a long, long time that I think is getting worse.

Some people in fandom are just having fun. Not worried about "canon" or being "correct" or "endgame" or whatever. They're just having fun celebrating their blorbos and smashing them together like barbies.

Some people attach great importance to "canon" and "correct interpretations" and "endgame" and whatever else. They want to stick to what they feel is the most truthful interpretation of the story going forward.

A lot of the worst fandom behavior I've seen in my time on here has been when people from the latter group encounter people from the former group and just seemingly feel a need to correct them. I've seen this devolve into kys anons and bullying people off of this hellsite. The most toxic fandom I've ever been with had a clique like this who seemed to think they should rule over the fandom (to the point where they thought they should organize and approve of all fandom events and absolutely lost their shit if anyone outside their little group created anything and didn't run it by them first), so I speak from too much experience.

I don't really know what to do about it, but I just wish more people could just ignore, block, and move on. Let people be wrong if you think they are. If it really bugs you, make your own post about your interpretation. Because, if you don't, you'll slowly drive not just everyone who disagrees with you, but also everyone who maybe agrees with you but abhors that kind of behavior away. You'll be left in a fandom of a handful of mean girls (gn) while all of the other members of the fandom are off having fun elsewhere. Privately. Where you can't ruin their fun. Or they'll leave for greener pastures.

Unless, idk, what you want is to only talk to a handful of likeminded people. Or you want to have the entire fandom under your control.

i am going to be slow cooking (pun intended) on j.iaoqiu in the background while i wait for more crumbs, but he is officially on the roster and therefore free for people to poke at should they wish

and now... the task i hate the most... grabbing icons-

[skrunksthatwunk]

really fun letting all of my favorite shows take turns being the "i can't think about it i can't think about it i can't think about it!!" bingewatch during finals season/associated crunch times. they're being inducted into a society

[byanyan]

old people really were raised on the idea that their descendants were just future caretakers for them and never fucking learned to think otherwise
