I have been dealing with how much some people hate Gambit for TEN YEARS and one of these days (not today) I am finally going to snap and pull this story. TEN YEARS. TEN HUMAN YEARS.
#this person DID read the tags they just hate how the ot3 is being handled#which is a change from what I usually get#congratulations to marvel fandom for NOT BEING INSANE#because being in sw for years literally rewired my brain in a bad fucked up way#though you know having been dealing with this for the past ten years there's actually been a fairly dramatic shift#in the past five or six years (maybe a hair longer I'm not going through all of it) in The Thing People Hate#it used to be the ot3 IN GENERAL and increasingly it's 'oh my god they're CHEATING you are ADVOCATING CHEATING'#the things people hate in this fic are indicative of larger trends in fandom as a whole#which is mildly fascinating but also oh my god leave me alone#just don't read the damn TEN YEAR OLD FIC if you find yourself not liking it#leave me out of it#talking about feedback in public#anyway it took a while in mcu fandom but I finally got broken of my instinctive dread whenever I saw an AO3 comment notification#still feel it whenever I see a comment notification on wake/gambit though and probably will forever

Wow I love it when a little rant post about my silly video games and how I feel about them nets me anon hate. People are absolutely allowed to be disappointed by things they're disappointed by, just like they're allowed to be excited by things they're excited by, and share them in fandom spaces if they want.
Look just block me like a normal person stfu
Peace and love to anyone who is getting angry fans in their inboxes rn because they expressed a pretty mild opinion <3
#dragon age#personal#look guys#ive been in the dragon age fandom for...5 years now?#and its been a v pleasant space for me to talk about both things i love and things i think could be improved in the games#and im noticing a trend now that DATV is coming out of people getting hate for their opinions and that chill pleasant vibe disappating#please dont#like if you genuinely wanna ask someone their opinion and be nice about it because you dont get it or dont agree? feel freen#i love debating media and its meaning and what it could do better or worse#i had a nice sebastian convo with someone once where we totally disagreed#me and one of my closest friends absolutely disagree about anders and have discussed it in depth#but if youre gonna be a dick#just like take five seconds#and think about how youre being a dick to a person you absolutelt dont know#who owes you absolutely nothing#and who has their own personal shit going on#and just. stop.

istg half of the post-s5 finale fics i see have some sort of disclaimer in the tags or summary (or i even just saw one in the title!!) saying the fic was written because the show sucks or the finale sucked or they just hated everything about it
and it's frustrating because i probably would have enjoyed a lot of these fics! but now i'm not even going to touch them because i don't want to engage with people shitting on the show
#miraculous ladybug#ml fandom salt#like. it's okay if you didn't like the finale#if you're disappointed or wish things happened differently#and it's great to use fic as a means of writing what you wanted to see. that's the point (or at least one of the points) of fic!#but being negative af about the finale isn't going to make people who enjoyed it want to engage with your fan-creations#and that's sad because there IS so much to explore with what the finale left us#and i bet a lot of these actual fics are not salty beyond the author's note/summary/etc...#but because some people refuse to acknowledge that the finale maybe wasn't trying to wrap up everything in a nice little bow#and have decided the show is objectively awful because of it#now i don't want to engage#and i know salt isn't new in this fandom but my god can we calm down for five seconds#kayla rants

Hey. Just wanted to put my two cents in, like everyone else on Tumblr dot com is. (It got pretty long so putting it under a cut)
I don't really care about what you think should happen to the fandom. Like. If you are going to continue to engage in the fandom without giving Neil any sort of gain is fine. I'm personally still on the fence on what the fuck to do now. But let's not make that the whole focus, yeah? What Neil allegedly did was fucking terrible. Like. Objectively worse than what JKR did when things first came out about her. Let's forget good omens and sandman and coraline for a minute (don't care if you still engage with those things or burn your copies and remove your tattoos, let's just put it down for a minute.) and try really hard to think. Because we all hated JKR. We burned her reputation to the ground. For good reason. But we can't even decide if we hate Neil Gaiman yet? Guys. Please. We have to believe all women. Plus he's a rich fucking white dude who has admitted to using his power for gain.
And if it turns out (which this is a 8% chance) that this is all not what it seems to be, or even all of it is fabricated, and Neil is innocent, we still gotta stop worshipping this dude. This has got to be a wakeup call that he's not some Messiah. He's a human dude in power who does the same shitty things human dudes in power do.
And I get it. You want to continue to like your stories that he helped create (key-word 'helped' bc he was a part of a team with a lot of these stories, including Sir Terry Pratchett) but me personally? I would be a massive hypocrite if I metaphorically burned my Harry Potter stories to the ground and put HP fans in my DNI because of JKR but said "separate the art from the artist" with Neil Gaiman.
And this is coming from any other Good Omens fan that became way too attached to the story. Like a lot of people have said that story helped in very. Very fucking trying times. It was my rock, some days the only thing keeping me going. The fandom has been an amazing place of creativity and community and love.
But so was Harry Potter. If you think about it. If any Good Omens fans were previous Harry Potter fans you'll know just how wide spread and open and creative and deep the hp fandom was. And this may just be me misremembering because it was a couple years ago at this point (plus everything with Neil Gaiman is still such news) but because JKR was spouting rhetoric that directly harmed us (us being majority queer and poc people) we drop-kicked hp pretty fast and focused on the artist and her shittiness.
Can we have the same attitude towards Neil? Can we separate the art from the artist long enough to fucking focus on Neil? When I say separate the art from the artist I don't mean "remove artist, continue to enjoy art" I mean "remove the art and focus on the artist, and study that motherfucker". How many video essays are their out about JKR? How many books referencing her terribleness? Without giving so much as a hint to Harry Potter?
Separate the art from the artist and focus on the artist and bringing him to justice. And believe the victims.
And yeah I can see your arguments against the source of the information and who the victims went to tell their stories, I can understand those arguments, but let's look at the data, okay? Let's look at what Scarlett and K actually said with their actual words and their actual messages and separate the source from the material. What Scarlett and K talked about is scary. Terrifying. I couldn't even read more than a little bit before I got triggered. I wasn't caring about how the source podcast was talking about it. What Scarlett and K said with their own words should be enough. Make your own judgements. If you can't look at a story without being influenced by the storyteller's hidden agenda and not have critical thinking skills????? I'm sorry but that's going to be your downfall.
Or better yet, if you can't believe victims because they have political views that differ from your own (which, they probably don't. From what I can tell nobody really fucking knows what Scarlett and K's political views are but it doesn't really matter) you need to really study and look into what you mean when you call yourself a "leftist". Because it's not very progressive or helpful to not believe or help victims because of their political views. Sorry. Is that wild for me to say? Idk
Uh anyways. I don't really care what you do in your free time when it comes to enjoying the fandoms. I don't necessarily think it makes you a terribly shitty person for still engaging in it instead of burning all your Neil Gaiman stories, and also like a lot of people have said (and since I'm on the same boat) treating fans like the scum of the earth when a lot of fans have had good omens as a way to escape and has become super dependent on good omens and are justifiably horrified by everything and trying to ignore it is shitty. But I'm personally going to continue to follow this story because I care about the victims. Not because I want to be guilt-free reading a fanfic about an angel and a demon. Because I care about real life people.
#neil gaiman#god I'm just so scrambled about everything#I would make a post about how it's oh so terrible because I love good omens and it's helped me so much and yadda#but this isn't about me#i can push away my things and my feelings because this isn't about me#i don't want this to be about me#i seriously think that Scarlett and K deserve better#because they're people#i don't care that Neil Gaiman is a 'huge' trans ally#he hurt people. even progressives can hurt people.#i can't tell you how many cool people I looked up to WHO WERE PROGRESSIVES that were shitty. and horrible.#like genuinely I've had to stop engaging with like. five leftists. this year.#idk. if you still enjoy sandman and good omens and coraline good for you I guess#i couldn't care less about how you spend your free time#but for the love of GOD don't promote neil. or defend him. because he wrote your favorite stories.#don't give him any sort of help and any sort of way to get farther and farther away from the justice he must be served.#and you shouldn't care about what I or others are doing with the fandom#everyone should just forget about fandom and focus on this#it's sickening. genuinely.#good omens#sandman#coraline

top 5 fandoms?
oooh, okay! so my top 5 to hang out in (which is not necessarily the same as stuff I draw fan art of, but ones where I’ve gone to group meet ups at conventions, attended watch parties/events for, actively seek out the tags for on twitter, etc) are probably
-Kamen Rider
-the bitter Sam fan side of SPN
-DMBJ
-Pacific Rim
-Guardian/Zhen Hun or the Yakuza franchise
#I avoid a lot of fandom spaces now because the vibe isn’t super fun and I dislike the elevator pitch trend people have adopted#when talking abt media like I fully did not give a shit about dunmeshi until a friend convinced me to read it bc the way everyone#on twitter talked about it was boring as hell so I’m not interested in going beyond talking to two friends abt it#and generally keep it down to the tried and true system of ‘find five friends and chat about it offline’ method of enjoying things#but the above five things are things where I actively go out to engage with or talk to other people about#tbh fan art is a lot like shaking loose thoughts from my brain and forcing them to take a coherent shape on paper#ANYWAY I think the JSAMN fandom might replace one of these at some point. everyone is very nice 🥺

FNaF fans I am grabbing you by the shoulders. I am looking you in the eyes. You're listening to me right now? Good. PLEASE REBLOG WORK ON THIS WEBSITE I am so, so tired of seeing so many talented artists, myself included, get their work shafted because the reblog culture in this fandom is DEAD for some reason. I will see POSTS upon POSTS about how people are tired of seeing 1000x Daycare Attendant AU stuff, but the moment that it comes to reblogging people's artwork, or fanfic, or non-DCA OCs, its liked and moved on from without a word. I also notice people tend to comment a lot here while also not reblogging the post, so please PLEASE consider if you have something to say: just put it in the tags of your reblog! I love the compliments, but you can give them while reblogging my work too so it helps me!
THIS is the reblogs to likes ratio of some of the top posts when you search FNaF on Tumblr right now. Only a fraction of people who have liked these posts have reblogged them. And I must remind you all: TUMBLR DOES NOT HAVE AN ALGORITHM Your likes do not help posts grow. Your comments are appreciated, but they also do not help artists get their work around. But you know what does? You reblogging. Do unto others what you would want done for your work, you hear me? Go support FNaF fandom artists. (And other artists too while you're at it.)
#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#fnaf security breach#security breach#freddy fazbear#im tired of seeing talented artists get shafted because the fnaf fandom just cannot reblog anything to save their lives it seems#let alone my own work that i work really hard on#i can only imagine how others feel#especially under the guise of people being like “oh we hate seeing DCA stuff” THEN HELP SUPPORT OTHER CONTENT!!!!!!!!

Anyone else think short form social media based on algorithms designed to promote topics that create more engagement instead of more joy, the idea of fast fashion but conveyed through social media, and the fact you can monetize suffering and outrage better than ever has largely resulted in the death spiral of media literacy and the mass emergence of bad faith readings?
#I may be venting a lil but god it blows my mind#fyp is a blessing and a curse because i don't think ppl were ever meant to be subjected to this many ppl at once#god i took a bird site hiatus for weeks and now BARELY check it and it already feels like a hit#oughhhhh#even fandom spaces have hugely incorporated marketing and networking into them bc of cmms and sponsorship and building portfolio#which would be fine tbh if it weren't for the way socmed is designed#now it's like you can't support too many ppl or else you're shadow banned or you have to make yourself palatable and marketable#and websites with threads in which people will only read the first post before qrting because ratios are seen as five minutes of fame#features that permit beating an algorithm are locked behind a paywall that promises you money if you go viral#and what goes viral is usually incendiary content meant for those ratios or trends. whether for or against OP#even in hobbyist spaces the climate has changed so much due to the monetization and marketing and just. ugh#not to mention side accounts dedicated to gossip in this new priv account culture like...idk#if you have to make another account so you can make fun of a friend on main with selected priv friends it just doesn't sit well with me#and not every priv account does this but enough do and it makes me tired#unsolicited hate comments are still as bad as they used to be on ff dot net except now people openly are proud of it more#why do most socmed feel like passive aggressive sticky notes on high school lockers#there is so much more I could say about everything that has left me weary about the internet but I don't know the time or place#and I don't want anyone to think this is about them because it's a general statement. though if you are doing the more inflammatory things.#maybe rethink that. it's not good for anyone else and it's not good for you either#I keep coming back online to check on ppl and see art and I *know* it's draining for my health every time#but I feel a lot better now that i use socmed less overall. and that I try to focus on what makes me happy#it just sucks seeing so many people i care about endure absolutely wild struggles bc people online do not care.#I like rambling in my tags because this is the only place I ramble except my personal journal and to my wife

I feel like some parts (not all parts, but definitely some) of the FNaF fandom kind of has a hard time with morally grey characters and it gets on my nerves a little. I understand that this is a problem in every fandom, but specifically in a horror game where every character does bad things it’s really hard for me to ignore.
Below the cut is a few examples of what I mean. Keep in mind that this isn’t everyone in the fandom. I’ve seen incredible works of fiction that do depict the characters as more morally grey, but I feel like the characters are too often simplified to just good and bad and it grinds my gears. This is also just my opinion, the source material isn’t exactly well developed so you can do whatever you want with it and I’m not going to stop you.
If William isn’t killing people before The Bite of ‘83 and was a pretty normal guy and father before that, it doesn’t mean he’s a good person. It doesn’t absolve him of wrongdoing if he went a little wild with grief and got lost in the sauce instead of always being completely horrible and neglecting/abusing his children. But so often I see so many fics and other art depicting him as horribly and irredeemably abusive before that, usually for little to no reason. He can feel remorse for killing Charlie, he can care genuinely about his family and Henry, it doesn’t make him not the bad guy. It just makes him more complex. He’s the bad guy because he’s selfishly trying to bring back his son while completely disregarding all the harm he’s doing to everyone around him in the process.
Michael doesn’t have to have a deeper reason to have done The Bite of ‘83. He could have just thought he was being funny. It doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. It’s okay if he genuinely cares about his father even though he knows/ suspects that he killed those kids. He’s a kid himself, he makes poor choices because he’s dumb but clearly wants to do the right thing and make up for it. That’s what makes him good. Not that he only does good things, but that’s he’s just trying his best to help people.
Gregory isn’t evil but he makes lots of poor choices that hurt obviously sentient beings and maybe Cassie. Vanessa isn’t just an innocent victim but she can still be redeemed. Elizabeth is obviously intelligent and knows what she’s doing is wrong but is too desperate to care. Henry obviously has some weird guilt complex going on but should have spoken to Michael before setting him on fire and probably should have done something sooner.
And isn’t that more interesting? Isn’t it more fun when characters are complex and all fall on some scale of morally grey instead of being just good and evil? Personally, I don’t usually enjoy the depiction of William as cartoonishly evil and everyone else as completely innocent and good. And Again, I mean no hate to people who do enjoy this depiction of the characters, I’m just saying what I find most interesting in the characters.
Thank you for reading my long post <3
#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#fnaf fandom#this is a problem in every fandom to an extent#but it gets on my nerves the most here#like especially with William and Michael because they are the most well developed#but people just ignore that? and for what#also I hate what the books and movie did to William#but that’s a topic for another day#william afton#I’ll tag him bc I went off for him the most

[Also...this is a really big milestone...I don't really keep track of my follower count, but this is quite the number of people. I am glad that 700 other people like Sayaka Miki from the hit show Puella Magi Madoka Magica too. Thank you for your support of my art. 🙇♀️🙏]
#art requests of sayaka are welcome but the problem is how inconsistent i draw her to begin with 🤪#guess 700+ people will have to continue seeing me draw sayaka in my own weird way ...#it means a lot to me because i initially started this blog thinking my art would reach the five people who like sayaka...#turns out sayaka is popular and cool among a lot of people!#← clueless about fandom mechanisms

As a Black person who's been in nerd spaces for almost 2 decades now, the whole "I've never seen fandom be so negative before!" is starting to get on my nerves. Its always been this way, it's just that now you're on the other side of it or you can't ignore it anymore.
I was there when ff.net writers tried to run Black fic writers off of those C3 communities back in the day. I was there in the Gaia Online days of "I don't accept characters played by people with dark skinned avatars", being proudly displayed on Barton Town threads. I was also there when congoers complained about Black people "ghetto-fying" con spaces. I had to delete my old blog after being branded the "Sally Donovan of the Sherlock Fandom" .
Yes, getting dogpiled and hated on because of some kid's false moral outrage can be super disheartening. Yeah, the community is much bigger and chaotic than we could have ever imagined. YES, social media and the general state of the world is affecting how we cope with things mentally and we should all strive to be kinder to each other.
But some of y'all are STRAIGHT UP LYING about how internet fandom used to be and how much you participated in it. Your old forum account with your "anti-yaoi" sticker and banner signature are still out there, you know. Some of you here STILL use the same names you did 20 years later and you're just as guilty as the kids you complain about now. IF NOT MORE.
#I do not know how “stop shitting on authors because you don't like their ships”#Became “This something I enjoy and I shouldn't receive any criticism ever.”#I had to get this out of my system.#But I see the names of people who ran me off of livejournal and first tumblr blog#saying that fandom NEVER used to be so hostile.#and I'm just sitting here like “YOU TOLD ME THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE RUINING FANDOM” not FIVE years ago? Are you shitting me?!#“Well I've changed!”#Babe. You've gotta admit to your wrongdoing before calling out other people.#You're not changing. Just rebranding.

whenever i get the urge to delete my old art off the face of the internet i remind myself of the artists who deleted their beautiful art that inspired me so much. i exist purely to spite their decision
#Cause you know one persons trash is another persons lifelong source of joy and wonder#the devastation i felt when one of my favorite artists whom id been admiring from afar had deleted their entire acc was unbearable#its happened like five times at this point. i genuinely loved their styles so much and one day they all just. boom. half of my childhood go#when you make fanart in a fandom with like 10 people newbies WILL look at your art from 5 years ago and cry#theyve been wandering in a barren desert waiting for rain that will never come.. your art is like an oasis to them man#whyd they delete them they were the bestest things id ever seen and now theyre nowhere (bawling) curse you talented person i do not know#AND thats why i dont take down my old art.. because i would not wish that fate on my worst enemy#Every time you delete your art your 12 year old secret admirer from across the globe has a heart attack#incoherent ramblings#does this fall into the vent category or the tragic artist backstory category

UGGGGH I thought I would get used to Phone Guy being named fucking Ralph, but I just CAN'T!
Like, as soon as I think "hey I'm warming up to the name Ralph for Phone Guy". I remember that's THE CANON NAME for the character and I go into an unquienchable rage!
I don't even hate the name "Ralph", that's the name of my psychitrist. I just hate that it's the CANON NAME FOR THE CHARACTER.
You know, the character that was practically FOUNDED on fanon for almost a decade! The character that honestly would honestly be better WITHOUT canon material because of much the FAN COMMUNITY made with him?! THAT FUCKING CHARACTER!?
Like with Vanny, I didn't LIKE what canon did with the character but I could live with it because like, the fanon versions lasted only 1-2 years at most. Plus with the leaks, we practically KNEW that Vanessa and Vanny were the same person, like it was obvious.
But 10 YEARS! Sine the begginning. Without ANY REAL WARNING!? NOW YOU FINALLY GIVE US CANON MATERIAL? Bogus man!
This is the last time I'm going to talk about this, I don't like perpetuating the stereotype of Autistic people not being able to change, but these are my feelings.
You can't just have a character be around for 10 years and just NOW give us canon information.
#I know#I sound really entitled and shit#But I don't care#You can't just now give us information about a character who was basically irrelevant for 10 years#especially when the fandom basically did your job for you#whatever#this is the last time I'm going to talke about this again because I know I am being annoying and entitled#plus I don't want to ruin my mental health over FUCKING FNAF#but yeah#that's my rant#rant#vent#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#phone guy#phone guy fnaf#fnaf phone guy#not tagging TWB or Ralph or whatever because I know people genuinely like the book and the character#And I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum too much#I just prefer fanon phone guy and I have strong feelings#nyanbles

some of you guys weren't raised on heroes (2005) and it shows
#you're gonna denounce the show forever just because it started to suck???? me age 11 (biggest heroes stan alive) could never#it's making me so sad to see so many people who were so active in the tua fandom decide to leave it completely#idk there's a place in almost all my favorite shows i can point to where it all went wrong#(heroes s2. chuck s4. stranger things s3. supernatural s6 but the final death knell was s9 idk that one's complicated.)#(malcolm in the middle kind of sucked after s4. teen wolf went downhill after s3.)#(the witcher and twd had such consistently mid seasons i stopped watching. only the first season of the flash was worth it.)#doesn't mean i was any less obsessed with them or that i don't still look back on them fondly#why should i leave tua in the dust just bc i can add 'tua s3' to that list? hell it's already been on there for two years#like the obsession isn't nearly as strong as before but i still look back on the show and my experience with it fondly!#i know i keep saying it but i cannot begin to fully express how deep i was in with tua and how much of an impact it had on me#no one is obligated to stay or pretend to be happy but like yeah it makes me sad to see people turn their backs on it#we had so much fun for a while! that's what i want to keep celebrating and keep alive even if it's in a background casual way#the parts that we all loved and came together over were great!#i know there's not much of a reason to come back together again or to feel inspired#but like. it's one thing to be upset and uninspired. it kind of feels like another to decide to leave the fandom forever :(#no disrespect to anyone bc i do understand wanting to wash your hands of the whole thing. i just wish it didn't go down like this :(#anyways. i love you guys and i miss being a five stan when it was easy a little bit rn <3
