Phandom, are y'all okay?

Has anyone else noticed the trend recently of Maddie and Jack are absolutely terrible parents?

Like, don't get me wrong, they're not the greatest parents ever... But they're not always some kind of supervillain/evil scientist power couple who can't look past their own biases to change their opinion in the face of new evidence.

I'm kinda specifically talking about the DPxDC side of Tumblr (mostly because of how much I've been reading in that crossover territory the last few weeks), but I think the general fandom has been falling more and more towards irredeemably evil Drs. Fentons as well.

I mean, I get that it's a trope of the Phandom for the Fentons to disecc Danny. Like, that's not the issue. Or at least, not the whole issue? 'Cause I love a good trauma-filled angst fest as much as the next phan.

There just... Used to be a balance, I guess? Like for every couple of Fentons Bad Parenting there would be a fic of the Fentons accepting Danny. It wouldn't be easy, and there was a boatload of delicious angst in that, depending on what Maddie and Jack had done to Phantom before finding out he is their son. There were fics exploring Maddie and Jack dealing with the emotional fallout of their son dying due to their negligence and not even noticing.

But lately, it's just been Maddie and Jack are terrible people. Full stop. No nuance or shades of grey to them.

And I know there are a ton of people in this fandom who have never even seen the original show and write amazing fanfic anyway. They've learned from what we put out there, and maybe that's why there are no new good parents fics.

But, like, remember when Danny Phantom used to be a very thinly veiled allegory for coming out to your parents? I know not everyone's parents are loving and accepting. I'm not trying to diminish anyone's experiences or anything and I think this has devolved into somewhat incoherent ramblings... And this just may be because I have been in this fandom for over a decade now. I may just be overthinking current trends.

But, are y'all okay? Like, seriously, babies.

Do you want a hug? A cup of cocoa? A parental figure to look you in the eyes and say that your feelings are valid? That you are wanted and appreciated just the way you are?

Anyway, I'm endorsing whatever stupid shit Buck is gonna do in that basketball game already because 6 feet something guys playing basketball have always made me go "whatever you say handsome" and Buck actually is handsome so, like, I just know I will have no brain power left for critical thinking.

The need to share my OCs with everyone vs the fear that people won't be FUCKING NORMAL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

i really do like the whines and whimpers and grunts over the overly pornographic moans but sometimes you make a girl go so brainless she just looks at you, slack jawed and breathless because if she even tries to inhale, exhale or, god forbid, talk? the whinest moans come out that are so loud the neighbors file a formal complaint

Shadow and Bone fandom: season two took all these different plot points from the books and crammed them all in s2 without pacing it right and it's like all disorganized!!!!!

Witcher Fandom after a s2 filled with at least five shitty adaptations of scenes/storylines from the books and at least three shittier entirely original plotlines:

i miss you guys and i'm going to try and get my shit together soon and reply to everyone. hope everyone is well ❤️

The way Rhysand the IC are so confident that they can look the Archeron sisters in the eyes and reprimand them TO THEIR FACES for their treatment of Feyre when they never even met the women before and only knew Feyre’s retellings. Like, the CONFIDENCE?? The ARROGANCE?? I cannot. I simply cannot.

”Howling” by SYML for a AdamsApple slow sex scene.

People putting music on when they have sex is kind of surreal for me ngl, but this is a good vibes song. I wonder how they'd be with slow sex bc tbh I.... have never once thought about it LOL

I know writing pining Eddie is like "my specialty" but I never wrote the feelings realization part, I think I tend to write him as settled into the feeling in a way, but the way the show is probably gonna double down on the Eddie always too late thing in a way, I keep listening to this song and thinking about Eddie actively fighting against it while desperately wanting it and I just have a mind space and a general plot idea and this might turn out as another no dialogue no happy ending fic that will never see the light of day but I can't stop thinking about it.

i feel super bad i have no idea what to say when things like this happen and its hard to have to relive awful memories but i think its harder to have to put yourself in front of an audience and share your hurt. i feel this way not only about caiti but also shelby though ive not really spoken about the latter. my hurt and abuse wasnt the same as theirs but i still hope i can understand and share their pain and admire their strength though they should never have had to be the courageous ones in the first place. the men who hurt them shouldve never inflicted the abuse. thats something i still find hard to reconcile with in my own life

[hearts4cara]

maybe i did almost cry at taylors time magazine article. AND WHAT ABOUT IT!!!!!
