Given the givens and the current state of the Bug Fables fandom, even if we're only active for four months out of the year, it really feels like we're eventually going to become a big enough slice of the sample size of BF fic to become a noticeable statistical outlier. "Average Bug Fables fan posts 0 whump fics a year, Mantis God Georg is an outlier and should not be included" style. Once this point comes we will also no longer be allowed to complain about any trends in the fandom anymore because we will be the majority and thus any punching we do in any way will be punching down by default by virtue of the buffet of crime we've made for ourself.

#we speak #bug fables #this will probably take a few years but the current state of BF fics being what it is it probably wont be that hard to accomplish #this will be very hard on us specifically because of the aimless kvetching we like to do about bullshit ship fics #although that particular trait may be a bit of an artefact of when we came into the fandom #since the general swing is FAR more towards gen fic nowadays #with SIGNIFICANTLY less of the ships that were so pervasive as to be inescapable when we first played #maybe some day people will write fics punching back about us #will be nice to read if so we like to inspire creativity in people even if its out of spite on their side #might even improve our writing
