"i hate x ship and i find it disgusting" is valid
"x ship should be censored because i hate it and find it disgusting" is NOT valid
'you do you, i do me' is how we have to do fandoms, we dont insult eachother, we dont hate on eachother, we dont censor eachover when we found something we dont like. hate a ship? dont consume the fan media about it, block the poster and the tags if you like, but dont hate on people
and people are also allowed to say the hate the ship, censoring is wrong but everyone can voice their opinion and that includes saying you hate something (of course without hating on the people who ship it nor participating in censorship culture)

Hey kids, do ya'll know about AMVs?
We used to go frame-by-frame of animated stuff we liked and did our best to create videos by syncing those up with songs we liked. (This was in the way-back of course, before YouTube started copyright-claiming everything.)
It was a long and tough process with no compensation aside from the occasional "Like" (this was also the time back when "likes" were worth so much more than they are today), but the good AMVs did for communities and fans was incomparable back in the early internet.
Anyways, thanks for listening to this old penguin. I think ya deserve to get yourself a frozen treat.

headcanon: "i have decided that this is true about the character, and it doesn't matter to me if the canon text supports my idea or not."

this is going to sound simplistic + i promise you it's not: stop following people whose entire schtick is being cruel or fighting with others online. even if the ppl deserve it! even if it's not a ~problematic~ cruelty! even if you agree with all of that blog's opinions!
it's one thing if someone snaps back when provoked or posts the occasional "get a load of this guy". nobody needs to play up respectability for people who haven't given them respect in return. but if someone's online identity centers around being needlessly mean for laughs + they're constantly seeking out socially acceptable, easy targets for petty cruelty, that's a red flag. there's a huge difference between not taking shit/cracking a joke + mocking others as your several-hours-a-day hobby.
especially if, when they are inevitably in the wrong + mocking someone mercilessly to their 50k followers over something petty goes south (shocking!), they become extremely defensive or block everyone or play the victim or dismiss it as "well, how was i supposed to know they were autistic? i'm autistic + i don't meow in public" or whatever.
this isn't a "well i knew all along" post bcuz nobody should be shamed for being in the dark about something like this but many of the popular bloggers who have later been exposed for serious harassment or abuse should not have shocked us. if someone's blog is 90% shit like "you should light yourself on fire because you watch x anime" or "look at this so-called lesbian bitch + her ugly fucking boyfriend at a kink convention- it's giving drowned rats", should it really shock you that they are also being cruel or abusive in less internet-acceptable ways? if they've already shown you that they get a such a thrill out of being vicious that they do it daily + are regularly rewarded with thousands of followers?

Jonathan lights up the mood (gn reader) 🫂
♦ It had been quite busy the past couple of weeks with the Sunka attacks. Those beasts had charged at the fort more frequently than anyone would have wanted.
♦ After hours of fighting for your life, the sun had finally sunk beneath the trees and you were so exhausted and sore that it was kind of difficult to walk from the kitchen and down to the fireplaces.
♦ It was worth it though.
♦ Jonathan welcomed you with a smile after he looked away in disgust from his plate with beans. You calmly returned the greeting and sat down beside the blonde man.
♦ “Ya we’re quite handy this time, y/n! But I do hope those Sunka ain’t comin’ back!”
♦ “Thanks, Jonathan,” you said, eating your share of beans. “I’m not sure how much I can take anymore though..”
♦ He looks at you with a sceptical look. You were a strongminded and supportive member of the team, why would you think of something like that?
♦ Across from you sat Peter; he had heard your conversation and chimed in “I mean.. y/n is right. The Sunka have been getting in on us more often these weeks.. I wonder what’s gonna happen to us.”
♦ The other Mountain Men around you began to have small conversations about their own insecurities surrounding the Sunka attacks. You looked away, a bit ashamed to have reopened the wound your friends had had for so long.
♦ Jonathan looked around at the others until a sudden idea popped into his mind.
♦ Placing the beans away he stormed off into his cabin which led to your insecurities becoming bigger; did he just leave you because you told him you're weak?
♦ Not long after he had vanished he came leaping out of the cabin with what looked like his banjo. Jonathan sat down again, putting his instrument into position.
♦ “This is an ol’ song my ma used to sing to me.” (imagine ‘Soldier, Poet, King’ but in old Texas, basically ;w;)
♦ He starts singing a calm yet uplifting song. The men around you eye Jonathan as he starts to sing (something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbE3luZs3vo&t=0s)
♦ As the end of the song is closing in, everyone has begun to cheer him on. Sounds like his music and supportive actions helped around the fort that night.
♦ You sat there peacefully, smiling at the sounds of your friends’ laughter and joy as their willpower was returning.
♦ Before saying good night to Jonathan you asked him to do that again the next night.
♦ And so he did.
