The tac net crash chapter is one of my favorites so far~

Ah and. Guess what. I just discovered that including this post, I made 50 pieces of fanart for Mistakes on mistakes until.. I’m so sane and normal about this story can you tell👍

[randomness-is-my-order]

the thing about jiang cheng’s relationship with jin ling is that it is not the sugar-coated caretaking film which people wish to see it through and this is besides the fact that jiang cheng was physically abusive towards jin ling. jc was not interested in imparting good values to jin ling or partaking in his upbringing in any meaningful manner. what he taught jin ling was violence and anger and his own abrasive and entitled world views. he exposed jin ling to his treatment of demonic cultivators for a substantial enough time for jin ling to have been desensitised to it in some capacity. his lessons to jin ling were about being indiscriminately ruthless to anyone who he perceived to practice demonic cultivation. jiang cheng wasn’t “raising” jin ling to be a good, upstanding individual but moulding him with his worst impulses and never once reflecting over what that meant for jin ling and his future. people citing jiang cheng’s displays of overprotectiveness (which themselves are a detriment to jin ling’s progress) as proof of jiang cheng being this caring, kind uncle is an oversight of how utterly careless jiang cheng is with jin ling. jiang cheng wielded his influence over his nephew quite callously and he did jin ling damage by trying to make him another wheel in his vehicle of violence and that is unrefutable.

Never gonna hear it from certain parties, but this is why Rainbow Capitalism was a net gain to me. I used to do marketing. The shift away from pride has been a very alarming trend to me for ages. But no, if it was 'performative', it didn't matter.

The next four years and beyond are gonna really suck for people unless you learn some things fast:

If someone is doing the right thing, regardless of why, that's what matters. Philosophy later.

If you other people in your community, you are doing the work of the oppressors.

There are no "Good Gays", boys and girls. You’re just like every trans and enby out there. There's no "safe" kink or porn, and you better believe this extends rapidly into infantilization of the population.

That people are stupid and can't pick their own media.

This isn't hyperbole. It's happened before. It has happened many times in many places and in living memory, and anyone saying "It couldn't happen here" or "It couldn't happen to me" has already fallen for it.

Fascism weilds censorship.

Censorship is an ax, not a scalpel.

They will use words to make it palatable. Say it is to protect children and decent folk. They're lying, but sugar is how you make all bitterness go down. Over time, they need to use less and less until people justify it themselves.

So, to survive four years intact:

• Stop doing the work for them.

• Stand with your communities; don't split them

• Don't try to censor or ban art

• Promote love, not hate

• Accept help when it comes.

You might be surprised how people shift when push comes to shove

[dramas-vs-novels]

I've seen a lot of stories lately about different duos splitting, and it made me wonder... Why do you think MMY and DMD seem so good at creating duos that last?

DMD certainly had their rough phase, nearly every duo they launched with originally when they swapped to a drama house split (except for Jimmy and Tommy, their split was special circumstances).

I know MMY let one partner pick the other (Either Boss picked Noeul or Noeul picked Boss, and I think... did Fort pick Peat or other way? IDK about ChanyaAya or ForthDonut). But MMY also puts out shows so slowly that it's still not clear if duos will be long lasting or not (well, to be fair, FortPeat and BossNoeul have both said recently that they have zero intentions of splitting within the next several years).

DMD really hit lightning in a bottle with ZeeNuNew, MaxNat, and TutorYim staying together for so long. IDK what they were doing to get it so right, but they do genuinely seem to have good eggs who get along really well with one another personally and professionally.

Maybe this is related, but those two companies, their shows have this feeling like... you can tell when they had a lot of fun filming a show. Even if you never saw the behind the scenes, you can tell they care, they had a lot of passion for the story and the characters, and they just seem to genuinely enjoy each other's presence.

I'm sure that helps too.

THE NEXT PRINCE (2025, THAILAND)

Episode 4

Prince Khanin (CHAWARIN PERDPIRIYAWONG aka NUNEW) is seemingly making a statement as he slips away from his female partner to his bodyguard Charan (PRUK PANICH aka ZEE)

This goes mostly unnoticed until a snafu sets eyes on Male Male couple on the royal dance floor.

His newly found family seem to be in awe including Prince Ramil (KARN KRITSSANAPHAN aka JIMMY) and Calvin (SIRAPHOP MANITHIKHUN aka NET) the Prince of Bhujar (according to MDL but not much is known of this character yet other than NET replaced THOMAS and his new partner JJ replaced KONG due to their BL Your Sky making them unavailable to continue with their roles)

Meanwhile has Khanin let his feelings for his bodyguard be known allowing perhaps the other royal men to be with the men they love...

how it’s become commonplace online to believe u as a human being are inherently superior for having certain fandom opinions is so funny tbh like my brother in christ you are in a fandom. there’s nothing superior abt that sorry

Random life update let's go!

So, in my house we have an aread w a dinning table outside, next to our yard, and in this place there is ou beloved celling fan that we haven't used in years because it was too weak and the warmth here needed a strong mechanism to dealt with it

Those last months, we notices that a couple of birds we're making a nest on the... idk the name to be honest but its like a small metal bowl right above the fan and we were quite amazed because :D even tho we do have some trees on the yard it's been years since I saw a nest

S o

Recently they hatched.

How did we discovered it?

Because a small baby bird FELL ON THE TABLE OUT OF NOWHERE

Now we're making plans to place a safety nest somewhere below the fan because the ground is very, very hard (pure concrete) and the nest is very small for the two babies (that I've seen until now) and the mother bird. Oh gosh ajvahwvwvsvwjw good morning to all of us I guess

I've always been fascinated by fandom history, and I know I'm not the only one. It's interesting to see how fans of pop culture can create a culture of their own, and in the modern age of social media and the internet in general, that culture is as widespread as ever. Unfortunately, that also means downsides are becoming bigger as this culture becomes widespread, and it's saddening to watch, maybe even concerning.

I don't discuss these things to be preachy, especially considering how I've fallen into several of these pitfalls before, and have perpetuated some of this behavior in the past. To say otherwise would make me a hypocrite and a liar, and I firmly believe this goes for most people in any fandom. I was just thinking about this recently, and how a lot of the biggest stressors in what should be our stress relief really can be pinned mostly into a few central talking points, which I would love to discuss to know if I'm not just going crazy here

The concept of Big Name Fan has evolved into a position of authority on fandom, which does not fall to anyone regarding subjectivity. No one in a fandom is an authority except the creators themselves, who have every right to stay away from the fandoms they have birthed.

Popularity in general being conflated to intellectual authority as well, especially on websites with public stats, particularly following counts. The algorithm is no benevolent god, but people will sometimes see someone with 30k followers and think they are correct on a minor non-issue that has spiraled into discourse, especially when compared to someone with 30 followers. This also is just...a bummer when fanon evolves into perceived canon, and newcomers to the fandom can't post even innocuous meta or headcanons without it being perceived as morally/intellectually incorrect.

Monetization of fanworks, but especially zines, have led to a hypercompetitive atmosphere that only escalates the bitterness and resentment. This is not a universal problem, but many zines across all fandoms habitually accept the same artists and writers, or diminish the value of fanfic due to the limitations of physical printing. The application process has devolved into such a disheartening debacle for a majority of people I see, and the way it is often framed as "your work just wasn't good enough" when it's really about what the mods deem mass marketable will destroy just about anyone's self-esteem after repetitive rejections, and will give some frequent zine runners a false sense of final say over the community (not usually, but it can happen).

The level of distrust for anyone new attempting to start a fan project is just so depressing nowadays (and this one we sadly can blame on a few people by name, but the ones who have sent this issue spiraling still don't care and that just sucks. I feel horrible for everyone who has been tricked).

Somehow comment and anonymous asks have gone backwards from "don't feed the trolls" to "suck it up, at least you're getting comments." I have seen some of these comments people have been told to suck up. It's not okay in general. It's particularly gross when it's an anonymous hate message unrelated to the fanworks themselves, perhaps born out of resentment or bearing an ulterior motive. And some will even attack and defame character due to identity. It's not subtle. It's not okay. People should absolutely be dunked on for this, and I gotta say I'm sick of unsolicited concrit being enforced as positive either. If they didn't ask, don't give it. There's a reason a lot of fic writers some people adore suddenly go ghost, and they can't even talk about it.

Don't like, don't read has been discarded in favor of don't like, tell others don't read and also don't write. Transformative works don't have to fit into a canon or even in character mold. That's why they're transformative! It's a different type of artistic expression. If you don't like it, chances are good it simply wasn't meant for you. It's not bad. Don't shame others, god especially not for non-issues such as a t/b preference or a different gender hc, preferred haircuts, types of animal you imagine them as in another lifetime, I could list literally anything here and I bet there has been a fandom fight over it.

Exclusive yet publicly advertised community Discords that will bar you from invite if you're not one of the cool kids. I have unfortunately fallen into this trap before, and refuse to ever enable or endorse that behavior ever again. This isn't about friend groups either, it's about fandom-dedicated servers that flaunt themselves as a VIP club instead of what they are: a friend group. I also don't even know how to broach the subject of private accounts that turn into fandom tea accounts with dozens if not hundreds of followers, only for people to be angry if someone isn't exactly okay with horrific stuff being said in general, let alone about their mutuals or friends.

I know none of this will likely ever change, and tbh i'm so tired of it all, but...does anyone else know what I mean? I'm stressed out whenever I try to enjoy myself, because popularity and a strange business mindset is steadily taking over fandom spaces. I'm not saying people should stop trying to make stuff that sells, or that people universally do any of this, but fandom is evolving into a thing I'm not sure is good. idk anymore
