nothing like a tumblr ship poll to make u confront the fact that we are all on our own unique journeys. some of us with no compass or map

imo a discord server should be like a breakout room for fandom. like the place to run your wips by your besties or discuss your otp in more detail with a few people who were insane about it on your post or organise events with a handful of trusted mutuals etc etc. if it’s where ALL the fandom activity is going to happen it will inevitably foster a cliquey environment where the fandom is divided into “those in the server” and “those who aren’t”, lurking is disincentivised if not made outright impossible, people who feel uncomfortable joining in conversations and would rather interact with fandom through reblogging etc are largely excluded because there’s no repost mechanism, and the fandom itself becomes an enclosed space so new fans are limited in how much content and meta they can access without having to make the plunge into Joining The In Group, there’s limited scope for interaction between different communities within the same fandom, god it’s just an altogether dogshit stupid idea. what if we moved all fandom activity to really massive private groupchats. STUPID

The second most annoying aspect of queer discourse posting is when a lesbian posts something that's either a questionable take or, god forbid, a joke at the expense of a man, it seems like eighty shitzillion accounts come out of the woodwork to make posts about how lesbians are mean and judgmental and creepy towards other women based on seeming nothing but vibes and a gross misreading of the OP. The most annoying aspect is that 80% of the time OP wasn't even a lesbian

It's definitely amusing (and I think I've reblogged it myself at least once) but unfortunately the Michael Collins "Oh my god, what is that thing?" story that keeps circulating on Tumblr isn't actually true. It was made up by a TV writer for a HBO miniseries about the Apollo program in 1998. Michael Collins never said it.

people talking about male characters: I loveee this guy he sucks so bad but he's still my favorite #myguy #ilovemoralnuance

people talking about female characters: idk I don't hate her I just feel like we wouldn't get along in person and also she does things I personally wouldn't do so that's a bit off putting.

explain it like I'm a 5 year old boy genius

protecting children is when they can be made into unrestricted content for their parents' kidfluencer instagram or family vlogs but they can't go online and watch the videos they themselves are in, for their own safety

I have read your fanfics where Jenny is good at her job and I have loved your fanfics where Jenny is good at her job...

However, canonically, the two times* we see her doing her job she is:

Heavily implied to be hungover

Actively not doing her job and is, in fact, hiding out in the library on parent/teacher night

And I am very endeared to bad teacher Jenny. You shall be seeing more of that.

*The other time she is getting strangled by Buffy - which is not indicative of her teaching abilities either way but is also not good.

"meteoric rise" is such a weird phrase. literally the main thing meteors don't do

really perplexing btvs fandom thing to me is when ppl are mad that willow & the gang resurrected buffy bc she had finally found peace in death. bc yeah s6 shows us so much of how buffy suffers as a result of having been brought back. but like. if my 21 year old best friend sacrificed her life for me and then three months later i found a way to bring her back to life i would do it. no hesitation. of course i would do it.
