I used to be a proficient googler who never wasted a word but since Google is near useless no matter how good you are at it now I have reverted to just typing in entire questions like an old person

Creative works are not Stanley cups.

I hate how fandom has become "if you haven't created anything in this very specific time frame after the release of the show/movie, everyone will have moved on"

And call me old fashioned, but that's just not me. I sometimes take ages to create and publish. And I will love a show or movie for such a long time (years, babes, years) that I just can't relate to the fast consumerism that's going on.

Because, let's be real, it can get really lonely in a fandom if most have simply moved on to the next shiny thing. Is what's created less worth, just because it was created outside the hype? Why is it such a taboo for this new fandom generation to love an old or "late" fic or art?

It's so tiring and I'm too old for the 30-seconds-hype-tiktok-shit. Just tired. So, so tired.

men love to make fun of women for overreacting in emergencies when they are, in fact, massively under-reacting

Me: So I started thinking about amplitude and phase contrast in electron scattering and realized something!

Husband, nervous: Yeah?

Me: Yeah! I think amplitude contrast, where I add heavy metals to make strong contrast, is like active sonar and phase contrast in cryoEM is like passive son--

Husband: I HAVE TO HELP THE CHILDREN NOW SORRY TELL ME LATER OH GOD

School just let out for summer.

*examines nails*

reader: YOUR FIC IS SHAMEFUL AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED

me: oh i know, just scroll up in the comments, other readers told me the same thing back when you were in kindergarten eating paste

me: *flaps away vhagar-style*

^ So I saw this post

And then these comments

Which makes me sad?

It’s already so hard to convince readers to be perceived and that commenting has value.

If you don’t want the deranged comments, please send them to me instead haha!

I love when you’re reading multiple fics by the same author and you start to spot all the phrases and adjectives they like to use

The stealth camper guys are getting so creative. I don't care how practical this is I love it just conceptually. This guy looked at all those vans disguised as worker trucks and went "I can do something way more interesting".

filter on ao3 that only shows fic by women in their 40s who has a degree and works an office job and probably leaves authors notes that are like “sorry for the wait on the chapter guys! i had to give birth to my third kid😂”

Fandom terms have to sound silly, like blorbo or squick, because fandom needs humbling. Not a lot. But just every so often you need a good grounding reminder that all of this is literally made up nonsense for fun.

If you take a fictional thing so seriously that silly words genuinely annoy you, you've gone too far and you need to dial it back.

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023
