the parenthood episode of season 4 of 9-1-1 has absolutely destroyed me, the mom dying for her daughter. landslide playing just wrecked me. that’s the song my mom would sing to me as a lullaby when i was younger. i have been crying for ages now

[stormsandskies]

yeah okay be prepared of some 9-1-1 posting because i’m a little obsessed now

[stormsandskies]

i was not expecting to see Jeff Blum of Starkid in 9-1-1 but somehow him being in it and what happens to him is the most him thing ever.

i think it’s so interesting watching people begin to get into and see fandom spaces more now that the internet exists. fandom spaces are really just that a space for people who are fans of something to discuss and show off their own fanwork, but as the internet has grown so have those spaces. and some spaces are really small but some are really big and that’s really what i want to talk about.

big fandom spaces are awesome because you can meet so many amazing people, however if you’ve ever been in a fandom space before you know there is that 1% of weirdos who most people really do not like. in a fandom space of 10,000 you’ll probably have about a hundred weirdos and those weirdos voices can often be a lot louder then the other 9,900 but when you’re in a fandom space with 100,000 people or 1 million people suddenly those one hundred voices become a lot louder and more noticeable, especially to those outside the fandom spaces. because of this, this is how the fandom is starting to be viewed. my best example of this is really Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift is possibly the biggest artist of our time, she has millions of fans and again with fan spaces there comes weirdos, there comes assholes. those are the voices that people hear not the others who in general have been perfectly lovely while interacting with them. you do not have to interact with the weirdos, hit “not interested” or block them or scroll away but you are not required to interact with them nor are you required to interact with a fandom space at all if you don’t want to. hell you do not have to even interact with the source of the fandom at all, I don’t like “Friends” so i don’t watch it, very easy really.

i think we saw a lot of this with Stranger Things as well when it got a really big fan space and a really big audience, people who had never had experience with fan spaces began their complaints about the fandom now some of it was normal fan things like cosplay of characters which happens in almost every fandom if they have characters to cosplay as (think ATLA, Critical Roll, literally any anime) but they were also declaring the whole fandom bad because of a few weirdos, because the weirdos voices were louder.

i’m not saying you have to enjoy the fandom or the fandoms source, but understand how to just block or ignore and move on is really important. and understanding the fandom is not all terrible people, it’s usually just a bunch of people connecting over a shared love of something. outwardly yelling about how much you hate Taylor Swift and swifties or yelling about how much you hate Stranger Things and their fans makes no sense. you don’t like it, don’t interact with it. the world is not perfect and neither are fan spaces or their sources, and they do not care that you do not like them.

let people live god dammit

I Hate It Here is for the kids who used books as an escape

I Hate It Here is for the kids who come from a small town and moved to a mid sized city for college

I Hate It Here is for kids who have romanticized ideas of everything

I Hate It Here is for kids who were undiagnosed neurodivergent and didn’t know how to make friendships

I Hate It Here is for the kids who just wanted to be anywhere but where they were

I Hate It Here is for the kids who daydreamed constantly

I Hate It Here is for kids who were so awkward around others

I Hate It Here is for kids who just wanted to be normal

I Hate It Here is for me to cry to.

okay time to talk about taylor swift on main as a casual fan!!

the first release of TTPD was not my favorite thing, it had some bangers but i really didn’t care too much for a lot of it

HOWEVER

the anthology releases are actually killer and i’m obsessed with them.

I Hate It Here is actually so me like i’m not even kidding i think she grabbed my brain and just put it on paper

people are way too comfortable being dismissive of children and teenagers. if a toddler comes up to you and starts explaining skibidi toilet lore or if a 13 year old asks you if you want to hear about their mha ocs you have to listen with utmost sincerity or at least pretend to. this is the only way you will get into heaven.

i cant explain exactly why i think this because i have a reason i just can’t put into words but anyone who worked in the archives has vision problems. i mean the amount of art with jon martin and sasha wearing glasses makes it practically canon but like tim wears contacts (he hates the way glasses look) but not-sasha does not wear glasses.
