#I’m so tired of this fandom

[scarletskiesinthepaths]

Are you sending yourself hate now? Do you realize how fake that shit sounds? Pathetic, genuinely.

??? Believe whatever you want. This message just screams projection to me; do you send yourself hate? Or do you simply have trouble believing people can be that hateful, so you’d rather blame the people getting hated on?

The anon hate in this fandom has been an issue for years now, but sure, I’m sending myself hate (in case it isn’t clear to you, this is sarcasm). And the ableism has been an issue since long before I even joined the AoT fandom, which you can find evidence of in many posts, dating back to 2020—and probably even before. Practically every single person I know in this fandom has received ableist, and oftentimes acephobic, messages like the one I received earlier.

My inbox is filled with a bunch of messages like the one I posted earlier today. Sure, I probably shouldn’t have bothered responding to it, just like the countless others I ignore, but I can assure you, there are certainly people in the fandom who speak that way.

You find me pathetic? Well, the feeling’s mutual. Please do us both the favor of blocking me, and never speak to me again. Fuck off.

Why does it feel like we in the q!bbh fandom are constantly defending q!bbh from people who hate his character for no reason.

I say no reason because a majority of the time people make things up whole sale to get mad about or take the smallest action completely out of context to get mad about it. There are legitimate things about q!bbh that I can see turning people off from his character but those things are almost never part of the discourse.

It’s always: q!bbh doesn’t care about the eggs, q!bbh is the most evil person on the island and should be killed repeatedly, he and Leo have no relationship and she would dislike him, Dapper’s deserves a father that actually cares for him, etc etc etc

It’s honestly exhausting because all of these things are blatantly untrue and I have no idea how anyone could come to these conclusions even if they never watch a second of bbh. Q!bbb is the sole reasons no egg has died of neglect since Trump. Q!bbh is the sole reason many of the eggs have maxed out armor, auto feed set up so they are always at max health, and an XP backpack with hundreds of XP. Q!bbh is constantly going out of his way to help others the moment they ask regardless of his own plans.

There is a REASON q!bbh is the only character on quesadilla island with access to every egg’s safe room in and out of the Ninho. Q!bbh is the only character on the server who has an actual relationship with every single egg that goes beyond acquaintances. Ramon is Dapper’s bff and constantly hangs out with bbh and Dapper. Bbh has done Leo’s tasks more times than I can count and her last words before being kidnapped were “I love you”. Bbh has taken care of Tallulah and Chayanne too many time to count. It was only after talking to bbh about how she feels guilty about feeling like Philza is more her father than Wilbur that Tallulah asked Philza to adopt her. Pomme is literally his daughter. Richas has spent countless nights hanging out with bbh and Dapper (and Pomme) after his parents logged off. Bbh would literally burn the world for Dapper in a heart beat.

When bbh learned no other egg made it off the island in purgatory, he spent the last 15 minutes of his stream muted because he was crying irl. Q!bbh was literally killing himself after the eggs were kidnapped and is basically a walking corpse rn with a gapping hole in his head that’s been there for two months. He’s been having memory problems for over a month - this development with his short term memory loss is a natural progression of his preexisting condition!

PEOPLE PLEASE criticize his character for things he actually does. You don’t have to like every character - q!bbh is an annoying little menace! But don’t make shit up to get mad about I’m begging.

If you don’t like a character, then ignore them. There are several character on the qsmp that I absolutely despise and get annoyed when every they show up on stream but I doubt anyone following me could tell me which characters those are because I never talk about it! Especially not in the main tag! I think through purgatory - when my frustration was at its highest - I mentioned one of these characters once in the tags of a reblog.

Tldr: if you don’t like a character, ignore them. Don’t make shit up about them to get mad at. You’re just making urself look like an idiot and an asshole.

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

[sweetbananachips]

INSTA TOO. Fuck.

Do yourself a favor and never open a comment section under MelJay or MelVik fanart on Pinterest. People are INSUFFERABLE on there.

Glad midsommar!!

I’m not really sure what it is about midsummer that I love so much, as a kid I used to partake in more of the usual celebrations than I do now, but as I don’t go out as much anymore and celebrating around people has never fully been my thing anyway, I haven’t celebrated it as much in recent years. But even so I still adore this holiday for some reason, I just get so happy once midsummer starts.

Maybe it’s the nostalgia, or maybe it’s the flowery look of the holiday, or maybe the culture behind it and my love for my country despite its faults, or maybe it’s just cause I get to eat large quantities of strawberries!! Whatever it is, I love midsummer, and I definitely needed the joy it brings me this year <33

GUYS I PROMSE WE DONT SACRIFICE THE ELDERLY OR BURN PEOPLE ALIVE IN BEAR COSTUMES

Tosses this at you (yes that what it actually represents)

“Just one more chapter, it’ll be quick” I said.

Little did I know,

It was not, in fact, just one

Nor was it, in fact, quick.

[shorthaltsjester]

when people think delilah just completely takes over and laudna has no control. when people think jester is just an uwu child who has been manipulated by every man she’s met. when people think vex is an empty husk of daddy issues without her brother by her side. when people think fjord is an arrogant asshole who doesn’t pay attention to the party around him. when people think scanlan saying that vox machina doesn’t care about him is an accurate assessment.

“tHiS ApP nOrMaLiZeS SmUt oF _” “ThAtS NoT A KiNk ThAtS nOrMaLiZiNg _”

SHUT UP.

ITS FANFICTION.

LITERALLY EVERY PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFESSIONAL OUT THERE DISAGREES WITH YOU.

OH NO FANDOM ACTS LIKE…LIKE…A FANDOM?!

There will be smut of everything. There will be fics with all sorts of kinks. Stop misusing terms like normalization and romanticization to describe FANFICTION. FANTASY. HARMLESS FICTION.

Don’t like something cuz you find it icky?

Filter it like a NORMAL PERSON.

Block it. Easy. Stop being a big baby. We will write about whatever we want with whatever character we want. Doesn’t matter how much y’all wine about it, it’s still gonna be there because that’s what a fandom does and if you don’t like it then put on your big boy pants and curate your own internet space. Go outside. Touch grass. Talk to a therapist cuz you clearly need it.

Another Hot Take…

I hate the meme going around now in the fandom where Khan has his feet cemented and he’s been tossed in the bottom of a river or lake.

Apparently people still ignore the fact that he actually grows throughout the series. Bitterly regrets what he did in the pilot.

Objectively…should be the Solver/Cyn in that position. But nooooo. “The Cylly did nothing wrong!!!”

Apparently leaving one person to die (and feeling horrific about it, trying to do better after…) is a FAR WORSE crime than torture, breaking all the Geneva Convention Laws, and omnicide!

But it’s ok! She was just a little silly!

I swear I hate this fandom sometimes….

[stealingyourbones]

Never will I stop with the steadfast notion that folks in the DPXDC fandom should interact with at least some form of canon DC media.

There are comics, tv shows, radio dramas both old and new, podcasts, movies, magazines, so much shit that intentionally avoiding the media is simply preventing yourself from spawning new ideas and gaining a new appreciation for a fandom that you’re already in.

The Superman Radio Show has episodes 11 minutes long. A lot of the TV shows don’t have episodes that surpass 30 minutes and most are nearly fully clipped on the official DC YouTube channel. The amount of fan made motion comics is astounding. The amount of fanmade animations is equally as incredible.

[mushramoo]

did it very fast so I know it’s cringe and yucky etc but I want more first interactions between the Emilys and Aftons in game

I’m not going to make a habit of tagging for non-fic things, but I’m really proud of this and figured, why not? I hope you guys like it as much as I liked making it!! <33

[valyrfia]

naming and shaming because this is a repeat offender of an account that keeps taking my/my friends’ rpf posts off tumblr and putting them on instagram for maximum visibility and i’ve had to reply to three twitter accounts in the past 24 hours asking them to take down either screenshots of my posts or my friends’ posts. you won’t get your precious rpf if you disrespect people’s boundaries by putting it on websites where the people involved might see it!

i’m sad and on my period so here. jason todd when you’re menstruating

jason todd is just the best. he’s not clueless, maybe a little bit ignorant, but when you’re on your period he’s the most attentive partner you could ask for.

he’s out late for a patrol one night and you’re upset about it? red hood won’t be seen for three weeks, he’s too busy making sure he’s in bed on time every night.

you have cramps? expect at least two heating pads, ibuprofen, an ice pack (just in case), chocolate, and orgasms if you want.

if you’re the kind of person that tends to be horny while menstruating, you bet he’s taking care of it. no he doesn’t care that he’s getting blood on his fingers, why would he? he’s done much grosser shit.

if you’re the kind of person that would rather die than be seen naked while on your period? he’s also incredibly respectful of that. sure, he’s a munch, but that’s not the basis of your relationship! he’s here to cuddle and worship you in the sweetest of ways.

overall he’s just the best.
