Tbh half the time my timestamps glitch bc this is a hellsite that don't work properly
I mean, sometimes the function gets wibbly but I’d always rather have them. ALSO they’re the only way to go to the root of a post anymore. Clicking timestamp brings you there, whereas clicking a username just brings you to their blog. So if you ever wanna see original tags you need timestamps.
Or like. If you want to go to a reblog in the chain that’s not the last reblog you saw. Click the timestamp.
Okay bit of a different post for the finale than my usual meme rant because I’m just done with everything today
Fandom is my safe space. It has been since I figured out what the internet was. And frankly I’ve been having a really shitty time recently.
And what the OFMD fandom is doing rn is frankly making me really fucking pissed
I understand being upset at character deaths. I understand being upset over budget cuts or lack of character development that you wished for. I understand being upset over the direction a show has taken.
But the way people are literally ABUSING the writers of a show that has been GROUNDBREAKING makes me sick.
YES! The budget cuts messed up the pacing and character development. You can think of Izzy’s death whatever you want. But to drag down a show, that has done so much for the queer community. With writers and actors and crew who have done their absolut best to make us feel seen and heard and to give us a mainstream story which is filled with queer joy. It just sets my teeth on edge.
I liked the finale. I cried over Izzy and wish HBO were less of a cunt firm and had given the show more episodes. I wish Ed and Stede had talked and I wish we had more episodes.
But I was overall happy. Because the main couple had their cheesy, happy moments. They literally said they loved each other for fucks sake. And everyone is fucking focused on Izzy and not even talking about the the main couple anymore. Not because they suck but because they’re not their blorbo they can project their angsty fantasies onto. And I like Izzy, I really fucking loved him but he was a side character. One that was quite obviously doomed to die since season 1. So saying the show is ‚literal dogshit now‘ is just such a wild jump to me.
His death was also obviously rushed because of the lack of time. It’s not the fault of the crew!!! that they had to adjust their script to the funds and time they were given.
I can’t come onto the internet to be happy about my favourite show being queer and dramatic and campy, and sure a bit messy because everything is fucking DRENCHED in toxicity and whinging.
Sorry if this offends anyone, if anyone even sees it but this really pissed me off today. My one thing that cheers me up made me even more depressed today because people have no inhibitions anymore as soon as their favourite media isn’t perfectly aligned with their image of how it should be.
TL,DR: I’m really over the OFMD fandom being toxic over Izzy and other issues while ignoring all the brilliant things this show has given us.
going into the terror tag and seeing my own absolutely confounding omegaverse art appear 3 times makes me wonder what ppl must think of me as i understand this to be a relatively small fandom compared to my previous ones. like, do they think "oh its that guy again (negative)" or "oh its that guy AGAIN (positive)" or do they have me blocked. i will not change my ways regardless of the answer but i would like to know bc im the curious snooper.
the humanization of dream is starting its startinggggg it’s darkest before the dawn all the commentary channels are talking about how morally horrible the reaction has been and people will take them seriously and slowly as he does more irl content people will realize he’s just a guy and start treating him the way they do everyone else
