Comunque qui lo dico, so 3 giorni che me devono consegnare un pacco, che me lo segnano come "In consegna" dalle 4 del mattino per poi cambiare a metà pomeriggio in "In transito".

Sto a poco così dal prendere la macchina e anda a dare direttamente fuoco al magazzino, fanculo il pacco

Every year during this time, when the list comes out, a sound echoes through all italians houses: "chi?!"

something about that as an autistic person, I feel like I have a great love of people. I love my peers, I love people I meet, I can become emotionally very attached to something that someone made just because they made it with love and with care... but I genuinely struggle to see the same reaction to me, and I feel inherently like people sneer in disgust when I open my mouth, like I'm so repulsive at a molecular level that nothing about me can or even should be fixed, that it's not anything in particular that needs to be fixed but genuinely everything breaks and bleeds and I don't know what to do or feel when like. for who.

I GOT MY FRIEND TO WATCH THE ENTIRETY OF POI YAYYY

I'ma say something about The Situation and it might be a bit harsh but hear me out:

Not everything have to be a fandom activity. Flat.

This is a case that involves actual criminal acts, that's not for fandom to engage with, parse, or involve itself with. This is something for everyone to sit back and not take part in like a spectator sport waiting to see who "wins". Because no one wins in a situation like this; not victims, not fans, not the cast, not the crew, no one. It's sad and it's tragic and it's completely beyond us as fans especially international fans who really are getting all our information second and third hand from non-journalistic sources. This is simply not a space for fandom. This isn't fiction, it's real life and there is no fandom for real life. There shouldn't be fandom for real life. We do not know these people, they are strangers to us. We have no place in their lives, especially during situation like this which are damaging and intimate and emotional.

So I'm not involving myself in this. I'm making not assumptions, I'm not forming opinions, I'm not taking sides, and I'm not engaging in any rhetoric especially the victim blaming kind. This is a situation that does not involve us as individuals, we need to remove ourselves from the equation we are not important here. What's important is for the authorities and legal teams involved to find the truth at the very least, and justice if there is to be any found.

This is beyond the show itself, which is a separate entity. If people can't make peace with the taint of this and that ruins their enjoyment, that's valid and I mourn that for them.

But ultimately, this isn't about us as fans. Fandom shouldn't be as involved as it is with any of this. This is not a space for fandom.

Hey nonnie, apologies for the delay in responding to this. I've been caught between debating whether or not I wanted to answer and publish this, and also trying to find enough spoons to give it a proper response (the depression has been hitting me like a semi-truck).

Putting the rest under a cut 'cause it's long. And before anyone reads this and feels the need to come into my asks or dms just know I will not be responding to any more in relation to, as nonnie put so well, The Situation.

Whatever the evidence, allegations and/or outcome, Build and Poi deserve their privacy. This is not a circus, show, reality tv. This is real, they are real people, and they are strangers and it is frankly none of our fucking business.

Anywho. First off, I want to actually thank you for coming into my inbox with this, because you're absolutely right. I was already debating stepping away from fandom for a bit when this arrived in my inbox, and it helped me to take a step back and use my brain for a moment. Because it is so easy to get wrapped up in the lives of the actors who helped give us such an amazing and unforgettable show. They helped give life to these characters, and I love them with my entire heart for that. The actors are not their characters, obviously, I am quite clear about that, but their faces, their voices, their love and support toward those characters are not nothing and are very intertwined in their real lives. This alone is why I believe so many people are having such a difficult time with The Situation, as you put it. That and the brain rot of what social media is nowadays, strangers believe they have a right to someone's private life, and if it's not openly shared then you must be a horrible person etc. etc.

I think, initially for myself and a lot of others, it was just the complete shock of the situation that had us all scrambling within the fandom. I've since taken a step back and decided to not engage in any speculation or Build related content because, as you said, these are real life people whose lives we do not know, and they deserve their privacy to be respected while things get worked through the legal system. Does that mean I'm not interested in what the final outcome will be? No. I would like to know, just so I can be certain I'm not supporting an abusive person (and hopefully nobody will twist my words here to mean I am supporting either of them now because I am not because we do not have all the information and what we do have can easily be misunderstood due to translations etc.) But I'm not going to be holding my breath or waiting around or deep diving.

This fandom, these actors, the show, the community, all of it has brought me so much joy and I want it to continue doing so. I'm fully aware therapy is the ideal option, but having KP and all that comes with it helped keep me from completely losing myself after my father past away. It's been my joy, my escape, my love and my peace. KP renewed my creativity and got me writing and drawing (and posting them, not keeping them hidden away) after TEN fucking years! So, yes, I spun a little like a crazy person when everything first started, and I am still trying to find a better balance, and trying not to look at Pete and see Build. It's hard, but I'm getting there, and I think everyone should seriously consider everything nonnie has said.

Okay, I'm all sweaty now. Much love, and please everyone be kind to each other. This is not worth losing friends or setting the entire fandom on fire. It's just really not. 🙏🏻❤

I think it would do us all good to remember of course that Shaw saw the photo of Root in the library, declared finding her her hobby, declared that next time she saw her she'd shoot her and "not in the knee" implying she meant something more lethal, and then shot Root in the shoulder instead

I really feel like eurovision this year was rigged, and not even because of the mic stuff or ABBA’s 50th anniversary. I just don’t believe Austria got that few votes from the public

john reese "i could let you go, 'cause you know for the rest of your life that i'd be watching you. and if you hurt anybody… i'd stop you. maybe you could change. and maybe so could i. but the truth is… people don't really change, do they?" 🤝 mike ehrmantraut "the moral of the story is, i chose a half measure. when i should've gone all the way. i'll never make that mistake again. no more half measures, walter."

Actually the more I think about it the less good I feel about hanging out with her. Like she spent probably 80-90% of the time talking about her & her interests, which is fine!! I love hearing about people's lives and interests. And tbh mine consist mostly of mental illness, so I try to be considerate & not share that with people.

BUT. When I did bring up something (opinions of designs in the hobbit movies, differences between the fellowship book-movie-radio play, being in a fandom with many drafts that you can ponder & draw on, Russian tolkien rock operas), at best she nodded & didn't ask any questions about it, and at worst she ignored my point and talked over me.

At the time I was too happy to be with my friend to notice, but I have now and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth
