Me: excitedly getting back into writing fanfic for a show that ended 9 years ago

Small fandom: *four writers madly posting* *a few crickets chirping*

Me: :-(

I miss when the internet was good, when AI didn't exist, when we were all "artists" and "writers" and not "content creators," and when I was involved in fandoms that were active and busy.

Are there fandoms that are active and busy now? It seems like everything is so ephemeral - a new fandom rises on tumblr every six months and then is gone. I blame binge-watching culture.

I just really want to rewind time 10 years okay? For... lots of reasons.

On my BBC Musketeers rewatch I suddenly remembered how in this fight scene Tom Burke is fully just wearing Nikes.

The rare and exquisite 17th century Nikes.

Male writers writing female characters:

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.
