What advice can you give to the invisible nobodies in the tf2 fandom who cant contribute writings and pictures, but support others yet are alone and feel worthless? The same people who reblog and leave encouraging words to their "friends" only to be completely ignored once their words are received? The people who have not a single follower who asks them how they are doing because they are not popular/a contributor to the fandom? We're always forgotten. We need support others and yet get nothing.

Hoo boy. This is a touchy subject, as in I’m really afraid of saying the wrong thing here, because it’s coming from one viewpoint. The viewpoint of a minor contributor. So everything I say is what I’m thinking right now, in the moment, and is not meant to reflect anything larger, and I’m sorry if I offend anyone/everyone with this.

I write for the fandom. Occasionally, and it’s small-scale stuff that doesn’t get big attention like some people I can but will not name. And I can say I do what I do because of people like you. The “nobodies”. Because you’re the fans. Every fandom is not only made up of people “doing” stuff-it’s like watching a TV show, not every fan of Supernatural writes or draws for it, yet they’re all still fans. And now, you’re the fans of the writers and artists too, which makes you arguably more important than us.

Now, when asking for support, you must also keep in mind that only some people will see it. The reason “popular” people get support is often because they know each other and are real life friends, AND because stuff from them happens to get spotlighted a little more-this is also why anytime someone “popular” says something that can POSSIBLY be problematic, it gets jumped on like a deer by wolves.

If you need support, there are people who will help you. I can’t promise that I know them, my friend, but they are there. Tumblr is just....not always the best place for that. You sometimes have to be rather loud to be heard.

And even other people, the “popular” ones, don’t get always asked how they’re doing out of nowhere. Not all the contributors get “recognized” all the time. Everyone goes through times where they need support and don’t get it.

I’m sorry if you feel invisible or ignored. I can’t change the attitude of a fandom with a single ask, or give you perfect advice. But try to understand, without you the fandom...isn’t. You ARE the fandom. The artists and writers need you more than you need them, so we need you. If you need support, the only advice I can try to give is be obvious about it. DM someone, like, DIRECT.

Because nobody around this fandom are here to hurt people. We’re all here to have fun, and enjoy some mercs. You are not worthless, my friend. You’re the heart of the fandom.

-kisses your cheek-… I think I was supposed to warn you before? But now you have a kissing disease and have to kiss the first ten people on your dash! (—ε—｀) ! ~<3

Cute kisses from his cute boyfriend were always welcome, with or without warning. “Can I give all ten kisses to you, instead?”

"Hn, how does it feel to be a grown up?"

“It’s taking a bit for it to really sink in. I’m sort of glad it takes a bit to grow up, y’know?”

Nuzzles against his face. "My nose is cold!" ( * ´ д｀*)

« How long’ve you been outside—? »      He holds the younger close, keeping that cold nose of his pressed to his cheek for a bit. “Should I make some tea or something? That’ll warm you right up, huh?”

“Hey, you~ I was wondering when I’d see you again.”

"Just a reminder, don't get sick, 'cos it's gettin' colder!"

“Good thing you reminded me.. A few guys in my class are sick, so I have to remember to stay away from them as much as possible.. Be sure to stay healthy as well, okay?”

[nesciretarchive]

Dude, you're a sky scraper... How's the weather up there?

“I always wanted to be a skyscraper, y’know? It’s pretty chilly up here— good thing I like cold weather.”
