I seek knowledge, I must know, what show is your white whale?
Fame L.A. It ran for 22 episodes back in 1997/98, was never released for home viewing and now is practically lost media bar a few clips online. I have spent many an hour searching the depths of the internet for it, nada. There are traces of where it once was hosted, but all those links are now completely defunct.
My only hope now is that someone recorded it on vhs back when it was broadcast and will eventually rip it and put it in the VHS vault on the internet archive or something (or, I work out how to get a hold of stuff from the Broadcast Archive in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm because they have the full run of it, but it's not publicly available, you have to have a research reason as to why you want to view it, and then you can only view it on their equipment in the library to boot!)

Hiya!
I saw your SilRuggie post and I feel you on the "Silver and his many boyfriends" part.
Idk what it is about Silver but he's so... Shippable?
Like I ship SilVil, KalimSil and JadeSil which are kinda popular. But it's also stuff like RidSil and LeoSil (oh so much brainrot currently about LeoSil,) Which aren't as popular.
He's probably my most shipped character like... EVER.
(I may have gotten some ship names wrong)
IT’S THE CHEMISTRY IT’S THE WAY HE HAS CHEMISTRY WITH SO SOSOSO MUCH OF THE CAST!!! he’s so deeply just…good, and he cares so earnestly, and he has examples of interactions with almost fuckgng everyone at this point. like i can understand why someone would ship just abt any silver ship, i GET it, bc theres so much potential. i think i have like…3? that im neutral on? maybe?
also hearing u associate silvil with the kinda popular ones, im fuckign weak at the knees. that is incorrect but im pretending ur right bc it makes me oh so happy

if I had a nickel for every time c!tommy was demonised for showing blatant signs of psychosis and delusions of persecution i’d be the richest person alive. but people don’t even acknowledge that c!tommy has canonically had psychotic episodes (with delusions so frequent he genuinely couldn’t tell them from reality at times) except to say the actions of the people who hurt him must all be in his head. the ableism towards c!tommy in this fandom is sickening and it goes unnoticed because people reduce it down to his ptsd (which he has canonically had since at least the l’manberg war yet people push the date further back too) instead of including his psychotic episodes or severe self worth issues or severely disordered eating or addictive personality bc it gives them an excuse to pretend they’re in the right.

Do you think that a fanfic writer can/should be held accountable for their actions in the same way that a published author such as J. K. Rowling can/should be?
Well, I know fanfiction isn't on the same level as an original published book, but considering that some fanfics are getting movie adaptations... Still, I firmly believe fanfic authors need to take responsibility over what they post online. Like, I'm not counting teenagers here necessarily. I talk about grown up authors who refuse to take any sort of constructive criticism. I don't know why people act like fiction should not ever be criticized. Fanfiction still has the author's biases. It still romanticizes serious things that should not be romanticized.
Authors need to tag properly. They need to stop posting heinous fanworks in kids fandoms instead of complaining about the kids who find it. People seem to forget that their works will remain on the internet forever and that they're going to affect others. You know all those lessons we were taught about the internet a decade ago? Why did everyone seem to forget them?
Overall, fanfic authors don't have the same power or influence someone like JKR has, considering they're still taking an existent piece of media and are just playing around with it. Still, they need to grow some critical thinking and realize their actions have consequences.

Now I may be overgeneralizing a bit, but I feel like in certain fics as well as the audiences for those fics, there's a weird tendency for the writers/audience to treat Optimus as if he's some sort of goody two shoes who doesn't care about his own race because of his love/respect for organics and it like...bothers the hell out of me honestly lol.
Like if you would rather focus on Cybertronian politics and ignore/even retcon out the organic destruction caused by the war, I totally get it. People find the Cybertronian politics way more interesting, there's not really as much lore on the aliens of the TF universe besides humans, you're tired of the Decepticons being bad guys, yeah like I get it.
I just find it incredibly off-putting when people (in fics or otherwise) try to frame Optimus prioritizing organics as legitimate criticism of him when it's not?????? Like his stance across multiple continuities is universally "organics are equal beings to us, we brought the war to their planets, they don't deserve to be hurt or exploited by us" and I don't fucking get how people can possibly frame that as a bad thing. HOW are mfs in this fandom treating Optimus as if his empathy/care for organic races makes him annoying or self-righteous or selfish like what.

To be honest, for as forgetful as Kakeru could be, I still sincerely believe he is very good at remembering pronouns (unless of course, it’s neopronouns, due to the fact they are a very Western concept and he himself is only used to Japanese pronouns like watashi, boku, ore, etc) but bad at remembering names.
Like, he’s quick to go ‘alright’ without even questioning you or reacting with confusion on the off chance you bring up you use they/them pronouns or use gendered pronouns despite being gender-queer, if only because I headcanon he had a non-binary ex-lover at one point in time, so the existence of non-binary/agender folks really isn’t new to him; in fact, I don’t think he would treat someone any differently before or after they reveal they’re trans because he already accepts that people come from all walks of life. He would, however, prefer to be told a patient is a trans person beforehand, if only so he could provide them with the best treatment possible.
Like, it’s weird because Kakeru is that one heteronormative LGBT person who hardly ever brings up his sexuality to other people, but would canonically wear a sash with the pansexual pride colours in his concept art, so the people who are more self aware are constantly questioning if there’s more to him than truly meets the eye. I mean, on one hand, he would have no qualms implying he’s attracted to women, but on the other hand, he also shamelessly wears the pansexual pride colours as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.
Regardless, though, Kakeru is a cis man you wouldn’t necessarily expect to be surprisingly understanding and chill about trans people, but he is; in fact, he would never give you a hard time about your gender the way most cis people would. Due to this, I imagine trans students attending Shin Mikado Academy are able to trust him the most out of all the teachers, because he doesn’t judge them for being who they are or make them conform to their ‘birth gender’, despite Japan generally frowning upon individuality and those who stand out from everyone else
