#fanon and fandom stuff

[avenger-hawk]

also:

Don’t tag my content as ____ (random problematic thing)

Dude, if you police how ppl tag your content when when they reblog it you kinda make them want to...uh...not reblog it. 

Personally, I tag ships not only when I reblog/post shipper stuff, but also when the characters are in the same artwork or stuff, you know, for being able to find the artwork quicker, cause I don’t remember all fanartists’ names (yup, sorry about that). In short, I tag ships because I want to, and if you have a problem with it because you don’t want to have your precious hands dirty with problematic stuff ok, but you put off a lot of ppl. 

Because others might not tag a ship but they might want to add weird rants on their reblog and they might be uncomfortable since you’re policing notes lol, and even tho I find certain thirsty fangirl comments on certain artworks kinda gross, or I get pissed off when someone reblogs the fanarts with permission I post, tagging some canon shit or papas*ke, I don’t start drama with it, I mean as long as they don’t bitch at me directly who cares...ofc I’m not the author. But being an fanfic author, even if it’s not the same exactly, I’m just happy if someone reblogs my stuff and I don’t look at their tags lol. What if...I mean...what if. you start not policing too. Just a thought.

Something I see a lot in the UTMV fandom nowadays is people talking about canon. "Canon Nightmare wouldn't act like that," "Ink is morally gray," that type of stuff.

The issue is that UTMV started out as a community project and will continue to be a community project. Fanon is incredibly important to certain pillars of the fandom. People are allowed to interpret the characters differently!

It's important to recognize the source material and respect it, but you must also respect different creator's stories. This isn't a community based around one big canon source material. It's based around countless comics, animations, characters, and fanfics that have been shared for years now.

People are not just going to abandon ideas they have loved for years because of the canon of the source AU. I LOVEE seeing canon Nightmare stuff, but I love dadmare or any other interpretation just as much!

In the UTMV fandom, canon and fanon literally have to coexist. It's no fun otherwise.

James: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me?

Lily: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it.

James: Three of us saw it, Lily. How do you explain that?

Lily: *points at Remus* Sleep deprivation. *points at Peter* Paranoia. *points at Sirius* Delusional personality disorder.

Why do canon shippers have the need to leave a hate comment or being jerk overall on fanon ship content?

Like seriously it's so annoying. If you hate the ship, just leave them alone or block them. It's as easy as that. Do you even know that if you engage with the content you hate by leaving a comment, it will obviously pop on your feed most of the time?!!

I just think using "it's canon" excuse is so lazy and a poor defence. Like yeah it's canon, that doesn't stop me from shipping/liking fanon ship. OR deep down they're just insecure lol

having been in the fandom for awhile, one interesting shift I remember seeing was around when BoO came out and people realized solangelo was implied to be a future thing, people were kind of scrambling to remember literally anything about Will cause of how minor of a character he had been up until that point.

And one of the things they were looking at with Will was that previously to BoO, people thought Will was a lot older. Because he was a cabin counselor (and generally how he was usually interacting with characters like Percy, Annabeth, and Clarisse - all 16+ish, or Leo - 15/16), most people assumed he was closer to 16 at least, if not actually older than Percy. It wasn't uncommon to see HoO!Will being 17 or so (this is also why there's a decent amount of hcs of him being at CHB pre-BoTL despite not existing until TLO). After BoO happened, it wasn't uncommon to see Solangelo content with a significantly older Will.

Like, it has always been implied in the series that Will is on the younger side (since Michael Yew joined CHB in SoM and Will is younger than him/would have joined BoTL at the earliest) and it's just the entire Apollo cabin keeling over in TLO that made Will counselor. But I just think it's interesting to remember that for awhile Will was not confirmed to be 13 in HoO/14 in TOA when solangelo first became a thing/people started paying attention to Will, and the fandom very widely thought he was older.

are you leaving? 💔

If my life was more satisfying and my mental health was better I'd leave immediately.

Tbh I've been in the fandom for too long, I'm no longer interested in discussing stuff in depth because I did it already, there's nothing more to say. I still like Sasuke very very very much, but writing long ass rants on stuff is no longer my thing because I did it already. I wish I had the determination to finish my fics at least.

I wrote so much about his relationship with Itachi that I got bored, also because Itachi stans and Itachi haters both got on my nerves. I still like Team Taka and many other things and characters, I still like rarepairs and dark stuff but what I see around is this big lump of healthy-wholesome shit that you gotta like is you're a 'good fan' as if Nar is not a story about child soldiers and orphans and injustice, fake woke discussions, OOC crap that everyone likes as if it's not OOC, all these 'they should fix themselves with therapy poor bbys' and all these hypocrite moralistic preaching on what is right to like and what is not, and I don't like any of these.

Or more simply, I'm bored af but my life is even more boring so I stay, but complaining because I'm stupid and I hate my life as much as I hate this shit.

James: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your life

Sirius: Self-esteem, haven't seen you in years!

Peter: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this!

Remus: I knew I lost that potential somewhere!

Lily: My moral code, is that you?

James:

James: I was just gonna show you this cool trunk that my mother left me, but do you guys need a hug?

"You are allowed to be upset when people mischaracterize a character you like" And "the excessive posting about how much people hate mischaracterization makes newer fandom members scared of writing about their favorite characters because they're afraid people will hate them for getting the character 'wrong'" Are two statements that can and should coexist and we can and should fucking consider both before opening up that posting menu

This has been your public service announcement

I finally had the chance to watch the Boston panel.

and I'm starting to think that a lot of you either haven't watched it yourselves, or were so set on specific opinions you personally have, while also having clear expectations of what their answers will be, that with their answers (or what are talked about as their answers) made you so unhappy that now you're just bashing them; especially Hugh.

why, though? none of the things I've seen people complain about were actually said like that or fully implied. so... what? doesn't make sense to me why some of you are so upset about this panel. it was so much fun and just lighthearted entertainment. panels like that are the reason these things exist and are usually so much fun in the first place.

I was looking at an old post and a certain line still hits me so I decided to make it a dedicated comic.
