#it’s exhausting man | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

During my nearly 20 years in different fandoms, I've come to notice that usually the bigger the fandom, the more fandom wank it has. It's only natural, I guess, because the fandom base is so big, so there are bound to be many kinds of people in the mix. And sometimes those people don't mix well and you get fandom wank. Sad, but true.

Not to say that smaller fandoms are fandom wank free, either. They can be even worse if there's, for example, a clique that's decided something is fanon, ergo it is now the Law of That Fandom™.

Yeah, that’s the way the proverbial cookie crumbles - alas, wank is inevitable and has existed as long as fandom has. My issue is that these days it appears to be dominant in so, so many new(ish) fandoms, regardless of size or obscurity (but especially in the larger groups). And it’s all vitriolic as hell - callouts, bad faith arguments, character hate, ship hate, driving people out, little bit of column a, little bit of column b, the list goes on. Definitely not the kind of party I’m personally looking for in my fandom experience

#it’s exhausting man #and discord really seems to foster this type of dynamic #this is why I’m largely disengaged with fandom spaces #except of course here and ao3 #where I can curate and block and delete #not to be a whiny bastard on main #but these days…I dunno. it’s just different.#sadly ship and let ship seems like a relic of a bygone era.#fandom wank #anon asks #ask lex

happy pride month

#naegami #makoto naegi #byakuya togami #danganronpa #trans byakuya #polaris polanski #that post is ff naegami to me to a terrifyingly accurate degree #makoto and his wife who wants him to quit his job #byakuya casually dropping bombshells on a shell-shocked and exhausted man #and then daydreaming about a better life they could have together while makoto's still reeling with the implications #if i reconcile my bizarro upbringing and my convoluted perception of gender roles and current position in this foundation #the only way i can get him to leave on his own volition is to marry him. in a straight way. bc we're both straight. what if i was a girl #makoto's resigning himself to being ff's dog for the forseeable future. meanwhile byakuya is doing the same but also having egg emotions #not featured: kyoko who was sitting on the opposite side of makoto and was in the middle of a conversation with him. that got interrupted #she immediately downs her shot after byakuya says that out loud and texts the other survivors who each owe her $10. toko owes her $20 #tgirl egg byakuya in her 20s in an apocalypse as a middle manager is a very specific headcanon that i enjoy a lot #only thing keeping her going is her bisexuality and the reminder that 'i went off the grid while crossdressing before i can do it again'#my arts

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag #writeblr #it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal #fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho)#healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy #im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage....#1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind #and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes #2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception''#3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.''#idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh #im sure there are people who have this experience normally #but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists #when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band''#edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful #once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large #but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry.#but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes #but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally.#i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes #people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism #but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet .#i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY #and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound.#but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in #i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too.#here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change #was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort)#choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL

arthur is rude to that one sex worker because the guys are fucking around as they oughtn't be and he actively wants the source of their distraction to go away. that is how he operates through the entire game: deliberate, utilitarian intimidation and strategic unpleasantness to achieve a goal. it is an early game commentary on arthur meant to position him as a big dog that barks. it is not a commentary on his views about women which are clarified many times afterward. you guys realize that right

#arthur morgan #rdr2 #redmeta #this is one of the most wildly misinterpreted but also most obvious scenes where writers are teaching us how arthur moves through the world #i really don't mean to seem short here #i am just exhausted of reddit mentality low literacy “ARTHUR WOULD SHOOT U IN THE FACE FOR FUN HE HATES WOMEN AND SLUTS” takes #my mistake was imagining a world where your average man online could intellectualize about narrative art #unless it is spoonfed to them on a shotty slug that says I'M STRAIGHT BUT I'D LET [MASC CHARACTER] FUCK ME

It’s just sad that the existence of Black people will always be deemed “controversial,” and pandering. Like, we can’t ever just simply exist anywhere without being harassed and ridiculed for being alive and included. There always has to be some big conversation about why are we even part of a thing in the first place and the “but what about the ACCURACY-“ crowd screaming at the top of their lungs for air.

And so many Black people are tired. Most of us have become desensitized to such vile because we literally have to in order to survive and move on.

The whole recent bullshit with Yasuke has actually been going on for quite a while now actually. At least on and off. Whenever he’s brought up, the comment section on any post and website regarding his existence and stature as a samurai is usually heavily debated and ridiculed. This is just another occurrence of this.

Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, the actress who plays Juliet in the UK play, only got harassed because of of course, being a Black woman, and because of her White co-star, Tom Holland, being part of the production. No one wouldn’t have even known about the play if it weren’t for him playing Romeo. He’s never publicly came out to use his voice and defend her despite most of the people harassing her being his fans and just white people in general. Nbs and unfortunately, Black men and pick-me’s have been also joining in on the harassment because the hatred of Black women is so potent. And the harassment of Halle Bailey for playing The Little Mermaid…….. Like mosquitoes to a fucking lamp. People will jump at any opportunity to publicly shame Black women for literally no reason. It’s fucking disgusting and we can’t really count on anyone to really defend us outside of other Black women and the lgbt community most of the time. It’s so fucked up, bro.

#man…#rambling #it’s moreso just exhausting #especially the 🦝 happily jumping for white acceptance but actually PANDERING yes I said pandering to white ppl ajsjjs #like go to hell you’re lost

"Why don't we lower the net?"

JESUS CHRIST HOW MANY LIFE LESSONS CAN YOU EVEN FIT IN A STORY? ARE YOU NOT TIRED FURUDATE? ARE YOU NOT TIRED OF COOKING 24/7?

#how is this man not exhausted #dropping BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after #im foaming at the mouth #and usually when it comes to stories like this after incorporating like three or four different themes it can start to feel a bit forced #NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING IN HAIKYUU IS FORCED UGH #when the storytelling is so good you're actually pissed off #haruichi furudate #coach nekomata #kuroo tetsurou #thinking about how this simple piece of wisdom altered his perspective forever #especially after being the person to lower the net for his best friend #kozume kenma #haikyuu #hq #haikyuu!!

So I found this posted to reddit and I wanted to share it here because I'm sure there are some fans who haven't seen the Adventures Bible stuff. (I had not so this is just referencing myself)
