One day on discord, Http threw out the idea of Yor checking her handsome husband out and it spiraled into this. I have NO REGRETS!

Enjoy!

Some ideas need to be created.

Thanks to @httplovecraft1890 for suggesting it and providing the dialogues.

Agreed, unfortunately. Once a fandom reaches a certain threshold, it's always going to attract people who will do everything in their power to make that experience worse for those who don't hold an exact 1:1 to their views. As I've gotten older, the observation that needing to retreat to smaller spaces with certain people you've vetted is true, and it really, really sucks because things shouldn't have to be that way!

I’ve been feeling this way about a certain fandom for months now so I have to get it off my chest:

I feel that the SxF fandom has changed for the worse. The downfall of the fandom is so sad to witness. The incident with ShinyBlueBirdWizard was the tipping point in my opinion. The toxic fans now rule the fandom since they think they’ve “won” and it’s just a mess.

This is more evident on the bird app but I’ve also seen less discussions on here too. I really miss the old times where the fandom was more chill and filled with a lot of interesting analyses and discussions rather than random recycled posts for engagement and the same repeated discourse. It is a shame that the fandom is turning into a hive mind.

I’ve muted and blocked a lot of people when I saw that they’re associated or interacted with the toxic group. I don’t tolerate any toxic behavior and I haven’t forgotten what they’ve done to other fans for having different opinions than them. I’ve been a target so I know what it is like.

It’s messed up that being positive and saying good things is seen as “being fake” while being toxic is seen as being honest. I don’t understand this fandom mentality and I’ve been in fandoms for a long time. It’s also very disappointing to see people defend and support this kind of behavior.

I really miss ShinyBlueBirdWizard. I didn’t know them personally but their presence in the fandom was invaluable to me. Their insights and analyses made me appreciate the story even more. I don’t always agree with them but it was fun to read a different perspective on things. I always look forward to Shiny’s posts after a new chapter and now it’s really lonely… I was inspired by them to write my own analyses posts too.

Every new chapter, there are more complaints than there are discussions and it makes me sad especially when we just celebrated the 5th anniversary of the manga’s serialization. I did plan to contribute more discussions and analyses posts but work has been very stressful lately. I’m hoping to change this soon though!

Thank you for pinging, @lentachorum!

1. Are you named after anyone?

My first name actually derives from a fruit stand, unfortunately. My mom liked the surname, and since it was Irish, removed the 'Mc' part of it and just took the given name afterwards. How embarrassing.

2. When was the last time you cried?

During my mom's funeral that we did some time ago.

3. Do you have kids?

Not at the moment, but maybe someday.

4. What sports do you play/have played?

Never really been a sports person. When I was younger, I thought maybe I'd like to get involved with swimming or perhaps soccer/football. Never in a league or anything like that, though, in either instance. Just a casual capacity.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Yes, but I don't usually use indicators... I probably should, as you said.

6. What's the first thing you notice about someone?

It sounds a little weird, but... hair? Probably their face afterwards, I guess. I've never consciously thought about this question before.

7. Eye color?

Forest green.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

An odd question. I suppose I like to watch scary movies, but would prefer happy endings in real life?

9. Any talents?

People tell me that they often like the ideas I come up with and that I'm a generally pretty creative person.

10. Where were you born?

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

11. Hobbies?

Writing. Video games. Reading. Tabletop role playing. Board games.

12. Any pets?

Wife's allergic to dogs and cats but I want a dog so badly. I miss having one.

13. Height?

5'10" (freedom units).

14. Favorite school subject?

History!

15. Dream job?

Being able to work in a professional capacity at the Smithsonian Institute (serious)... or a marine paleontologist (no, seriously, I wanted to do this when I was like six according to my parents).

I'll tag @fluffmelange and @rachellysebrook.

Thanks 4 tagging me @ninadove!

1. Are you named after anyone?

A track from Anthony Phillips' expanded reissue of Slow Dance (1990), roughly translates to "rough dance" in Latin

2. When was the last time you cried?

Listening to Otis Redding after re-watching Madoka Magica.

3. Do you have kids?

No but I might consider it a couple of years down the road

4. What sports do you play/have played?

Swimming and Cross Country; I have several medals for 1st and 2nd places respectively

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Online it's always always ALWAYS tone indicators, and you should to. In general yeah for comedic or ironic moments

6. What's the first thing you notice about someone?

Appearance, because what isn't said leaves the bigger impression

7. Eye color?

Hazel

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both..?

Wrote a short story in uni, I received effusive praise from the faculty
