#fandom slang

[noperopesaredope]

You’ve heard of blorbo. You’ve heard of poor little meow meow. You’ve heard of skrunkly. You’ve heard of skrimblo. You’ve heard of spoingle. You’ve heard of glup shitto. You’ve heard of mipy. You’ve heard of eeby deeby. You’ve heard of horse plinko. Now get ready for the new term I’ve come up with that I can’t stop saying for some reason:

CRUNCHLY BUNCHLY

It’s a character that makes you just wanna put them in your mouth and chew them up aggressively like an extra delicious tortilla chip.

I just wanna

you know?

[marzipanandminutiae]

tomato?

oh, in the fandom post just now?

Kink Tomato is common fandom shorthand for the acronym YKINMKATO, or Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That's Okay. meaning, not everyone's going to like a certain kind of sexual content in fics and that doesn't make said content inherently Bad. because the acronym kind of looks like the word "tomato," it became...welll, Kink Tomato

I was talking about how some people interpret a certain character's gender presentation in a way that's not Wrong but that I personally disagree with, so I made that Characterization Tomato instead

hope this clarifies!

Moopie: a previously likeable character, usually some kind of morally gray leaning-towards or an all-out hero, who is constantly written as doing dislikable, terrible, or occasionally villainous things specifically so that the pain of other characters can be seen as more interesting. This is different from a face heel turn in the same way that woobification is different from a heel face turn.

Moopification: the act or process by which a character is turned into a moopie.

Example of a moopie:

Dear Tumblr,

I request a new slang word for our fandom slang vocabulary

Crunch / Crunchy

Noun / Adjective

For a show to be crunchy, it needs to frustrate you enough to make you gripe about it while simultaneously loving it.

It is a show you enjoy loudly, like how foodies enjoy chips loudly.

I have actually used crunchy for years. It was originally a pun on cringey.

Something crunchy is enjoyably cringey.

Perhaps an example is a show that gives you second-hand embarrassment (the groan enducing feeling you get when a character is doing something embarassing, dramatic, or nerve wracking on-screen, like asking their crush out or saying something really offensive unknowingly. It often stems from dramatic irony).

Inspired by this yt video. I welcome the new slang :)

I vividly remember back in 2017 when I was new to fandom and knew nothing about fandom language

I was like “who tf is reader and why are people shipping them with everyone?! Who’s reader LEMON?!”

it made me so mad too 😭

I remember seeing art for “king dice x reader” and it was like some character with a dice head and their face was just one eye for and a book so I assumed it was someone’s oc 💀

So, apparently I’m old and not up on some new fandom slang.

What the hell is a blorbo and how did this term come to be?

Concept:

Sluff = slutty fluff

The new short hand for fanfiction with both fluff and nsfw.

[greenteacology]

maybe it’s just me but I got weird vibes from the “teen slang” bit last night? it felt uncomfortable…Aabria even mentioned how it was all AAVE and “why did y’all wait until I was here to do this” and they still kept going with the bit…

idk I know she said it in a lighthearted/joking way but I feel like the cast could have taken a hint and like. Stopped

Noir: i may be a house dick, but you sure can’t bleed me. I don’t want to a copper to fill me with daylight. Don’t end up in a Chicago overcoat, y’know?

Miles, trying to get information on something:…….Those are words….

Meanwhile

Hobie, ranting,: so I told him, since we going on a bender. That should see a flick. But he wants to try to jag. I stopped him. But I really hope he’s all piss and wind.

Gwen, listen to his rambling, confused:……..yeah???? Uhh, fuck him??

i keep wanting to get into reading books in spanish bc im a heritage speaker and was the only one in my family that didnt go to school in mexico past age 4 so my reading (and writing) skills are lacking, but theyre all either like. Non fiction historical, bilingual books specifically made for people just learning spanish, or just like, translated books that run the risk of being european spanish.... mexican authors of fiction are u out there. Save me. Save me.

we can have tomarrymort stories where harry is not a potter, not the bwl and not abused to make him a martyr for dumbledore’s cause and people lap it up and sing praises for good writing but then if you have a tomarrymort story where harry isn’t obsessed with sports, a girl who used him as a emotional crutch to deal her bfs murder, a girl who dated half the boys he knows to get his attention or desserts then you’re forcing an oc on the tomarrymort fandom and you need to get a grip and be honest or leave.

i don’t like fandom sometimes.

Funny thing, is how Harry is often raised different in those not-a-Potter Harrymort fics and tends to not be interested in Quidditch OR Cho, but no one is attacking those writers for leaving those things out.

What’s so different when a goal-oriented Harry – who only changed because of one or two major events in his early youth – doesn’t care much about a sport(that he was forced into and never told he had the option of saying ‘No’ or quitting in canon) and that makes him ‘too OOC’ but it’s acceptable for a Harry who has anyone else as a biological father and grows up in a different house with different expectations entirely, to not be into Quidditch? To not date Cho Chang or even be interested in her?

Why are things like a sport, a food, and girl he crushed on for a few months, considered the things that make him Harry Potter? Why is it wrong to not make those important to his character in every damn fic? How does taking away being a Seeker, dating Cho, and eating Treacle Tart change who Harry Potter is? What do they really bring to the table?

Why do the things that actually make him Harry Potter, not have to actually appear in a fic for him to still be considered 'In-Character'?

Such as:

Being related to the people who thrice-defied Voldy.

Being prophesied to defeat Voldy.

Being attacked by Voldy because of it and ending up surviving the AK, getting a famous scar, and acquiring a shard of Voldy’s soul in the process.

Being taken away from his legal guardian and shoved onto abusive people that made sure he grew with the mentality that he wasn’t worth shit and that dying for the ‘greater good’ if an old man claims it’s necessary, is okay.

The things that dog his every step and control his future without him knowing it or being able to control it, are the things that shape him as a character.

But nooooooo. If he’s not Ron Weasley-level obsessed with Quidditch(which he never was tbh), salivating over Cho Chang, or mentioning Treacle Tart every chapter, he’s OOC.

Some of y'all just want canon!Harry and that's fine, but stop attacking people just cuz they want to focus on unique parts of Harry to tell the story they've come up with. And dear Christ on a cracker, if he is a totally different person by age 11, based on different experiences, him not playing Quidditch isn't going to make the world end nor make him any less Harry Potter and you're dumb if you say otherwise.
