#A reminder of fandom hell.

Reminder that Crowley and Aziraphale kissed

It's been about 143 days since season 2 came out and now we have season 3 confirmed. I just like to remind you all the duo we have been foaming at the mouth for even the smallest of physical touches for four years, kissed and proclaimed their love for each other. It's amazing I wake up everyday and it hits me that we have a sexless queer couple on tv especially since I was so scared for being accidentally queerbaited (which is not at the fault of Neil Gaiman, but of consuming just too much media)

since we're talking about people pushing paternal dynamics onto tubbo. I don't think there really is a character who would fit into a paternal role for him, literally no one. If you try to force it you're only gonna make whoever you throw into the parent role an asshole because at some point every island resident has been an asshole to him. Also, you have the issue that most of the people you throw him with he has flirted with. A few examples are him, fit and pac constantly flirting and him giving pac a lap dance on the first day, all of the jokes about bad filling his hole, and hell piere literally asked to have sex with him once.

Of course, the character you see this most with is Phil. And while they consider each other family it would be fucking depressing to make phil his dad because phil often treats him like shit, looks down on him, and treats him very condescendingly at this point. Pre purgatory it was less obvious but since then and frankly since the eggs went missing while caring for each other phil often stands in opposition to tubbo and only praises or speaks positively about him when he's not around. I could see it as a one-sided relationship but it only kind of works if only tubbo sees him as a guardian and phil doesn't see him as more than a kid with destructive toys.

Also circling back around fitpac are poor choices to make tubbo's parents please the three of them have made many sexual jokes and comments to each other. Plus fit can be pretty brazen and cold to tubbo even hitting and knocking him down which are actions he would never do to his son so once more it makes a character way more cruel and a asshole.

Not to mention how much of this is grounded in ableism that as someone with dyslexia and adhd it's very infantilizing

It really is strange how Edelstans simultaneously dig hard into people that don't agree with their specific interpretation of 3H to the point of being happy they manage to drive those people away... and be so upset and baffled that people become generally disinterested/actively hostile towards 3H content.

If folks get repeatedly driven out of a fandom, and that group of people repeatedly calls anyone who disagrees with their specific interpretation of 3H stupid/illiterate/"acting in bad faith"/sexist/racist/homophobic/etc., and it is repeatedly done by a group of people who insist that 3H's fandom problem is a "both sides" thing, with all of this being dragged into spaces that have nothing to do with 3H, well... obviously people are then going to start to dislike interacting with either 3H in general or its fandom in particular?

Edelstans are the ones spreading the idea that 3H's fandom in totality is shit. They keep trying to make their hands look cleaner than they are by claiming that everyone else's hands are just dirty as/even dirtier than theirs. Of course people who are unaware of everything are going to then assume that everyone's hands are dirty, thus making people not exactly want to shake hands with anyone.

Like, really now. What did they think was going to happen when they directly go after fanartists/fanfic writers who create/say things that go against the Approved Edelstan Status Quo, to the point that a non-zero amount of these creators just up and leave social media entirely? Or after they nitpick every single Disapproved Post and then lie about the post's OP? Or after it becomes a consistent pattern that people who even remotely disagree with Edelstans' opinions are always, without fail, buried with insulting and harassing anons? Or after they're shown time and time again to defend their worst actors with "well their/our victims deserved it because they said a 3H opinion we didn't agree with"? Or when they say that everyone does this shit in 3H's fandom except for them (which is either not believed because it's demonstrably untrue or is actually believed and now those people think the overwhelming majority of 3H's fandom is filled with shit)? Or when they drag 3H discourse into literally actually everything no matter how unrelated?

That with less fandom creators within the fandom space they'd get more content? That harassing and insulting people and accusing them of being this-and-that bigot is going to magically "correct" their minds into seeing The One Truth about 3H? That people are going to just look over all the shit they did just because they allocate the blame of their action on all of 3H's fandom? That people would like 3H more if they constantly remind people of the inarguable worst thing to come from 3H? That this would help 3H's general perception?

Fuckin' no, of course that's just going to make everyone fuck off from 3H. And would you look at that, a shit ton of people have fucked off from 3H since everything has been swept under a "well it'sth a bolth thides ithue tho what can ya do?" rug. And it's been swept under that rug by pretty much the only people who are pulling this shit, who then get shocked - utterly gobsmacked! - that that made them look bad too. That crying "both sides!" included themselves too and not just the people they've been harassing. That saying that the entire fandom is bad everywhere made the entire fandom look bad everywhere.

If Edelstans are really so upset that no one talks about 3H positively anymore, then maybe they should stop being the reason no one likes 3H anymore. Just a thought

why are you, as an adult in 2024, still hung up on reylo. why are you still mocking the shippers. why do you believe yourself to be superior only because you dislike a stupid ship from a fucking space fairytale. girl (gnc) get a grip

cus remember, gotham is in NEW JERSEY.

what in the goddamn does a posh new jersey accent sound like????

[ansburg]

cannot imagine getting mad about gnome racism when the main gnome cast is just like. white people who are purple

im very sorry barcus tucci but you are distracting from a serious conversation about racism in western fantasy when the slave-keeping race of dwarves overwhelmingly look like this

TFW you’re stuck in a marriage with a man you hate and the girl you’ve been in love with forever is your next door neighbor.

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.

It's probably Mephistopheles being present in the background of the story, plus the fact that Durge and Gortash have been to Cania, but playing BG3 reminds me of Hordes of the Underdark, and reminds me that one of the delight of playing the other FR pc games and incorporating them into "your Realms" canon is that in mine Raphael gets a 3'2" svirfneblin "stepmother" to plague him. Your father lost his power to a gnome he tried to turn into a pawn who turned him into a puppet; are you embarrassed to be related to him yet?

I need every excuse to bully the cambion I can get.

This is non-Soulsborne fandom related so don’t worry frens and colleagues, but one of the funniest things I have ever seen in fandom dramas is when a specific character is widely hated for being petulant or mean or whatever, and when the more neutral people who try to analyze or understand their motives speak out, they get expectedly attacked by the said haters of course…

But those haters sound and act exactly like the character they hate so much, especially when they start attacking the neutral analyzer bfhndj 💀💀💀

WAIT I HAVE A FUCKING GENIUS IDEA

RINCEWIND ISEKAIED AS THE DRAGONBORN!!!! NON COMBATANT COWARDLY FAILMAGE DRAGONBORN YESSS

Sorry I'll stop yelling I just got Inspired.

I mean isn't it basically what he does already? Just wanting to be left alone be people keep sending him on journey to do Things for them and he has luck so bad everything keeps happening to him but somehow he survives everything? Getting roped into jobs he didn't ask for and doesn't want by so many Main Characters?

He is So Bad at magic but he would of course call himself a wiz(z)ard and join the college of Winterhold. Which is probably the one magic college that is somehow less safe than Unseen University. He would cause solve so many problems at this school while being so annoyed and terrified the whole time.

He fights Alduin with a half-brick in a sock.

He would LOVE the Dwemer tho. Well, perhaps not the whole-race-disappearing-in-a-puff part. And also I can give him new languages to study. As a treat.

biggest fear for kiwami 3 is them retconning mines love for daigo (unlikely but it’s possible) or like something along the lines of that…. the minedai erasure would make me end it all

SUREST doubt of my life: even if you didn't want to interpret it as romantic, mine's love for daigo is an essential part to his character and motivation in y3. they coudnt erase mine's love without redoing his character

You share an edit made by your friend bc it’s good and you love them and the anons come and try to pull you back into a fandom you basically stopped participating in over a year ago.

I don’t dislike the Arrowfam, my url is the same for a reason, but like guys- I cannot stress enough how much BETTER my mental health has gotten now that I’m not interacting with majority DC spaces.
