Listening to music on Youtube Obscure Problem 947 like: "Just because I put on TENDER SUGAR doesn't mean I want you to autoplay into a "SILENT AND CHILL" playlist of the NARCOLEPTIC ASS DEPRESSION FEST THAT IS THE INCIDENTAL MUSIC. I love the Silent Hill OSTs but I'M WORKING NOT LAMENTING IN A RUSTING BATHTUB FOR 6 HOURS"

How many times have we been through this, old man. I tell you not to play these mixes, and you manage to find 50 more. I'm begging you, good people. Stop making Silent and Chill compilations. You're too powerful already. I have to be in the Right Mood to listen to Not Tomorrow and you can't just do this to me while I'm trying to draw some cute shit with Lyra and her ménage.

Okay, hold on because this?

You’re spitting nothing but facts. I’ve said this exact same thing on both of my previous blogs (not this one, not yet xmdkxkdnd) about how x reader just was not a thing in Ye Fandom of Olde. I don’t know if people really believe me or if I just sound like a hunch backed crone standing on her front porch waving her cane at the neighborhood kids, yelling at them to appreciate what they’ve got because back in my day … but it really was such an incredibly different landscape. There are certain aspects of it that I miss for sure and others I’m glad to leave in the past.

The completely random conversations between the author and the character(s) among them, GOD, the way that still activates every single one of my cringe reflexes. 😂 Actually my all time favorite fic had those for the first dozen or so chapters, but she thankfully left them in the fore and afterword, not haphazardly placed in the fic itself, so it was easy to ignore haha. I can laugh at it and maybe even look back at it fondly, but I don’t think I want that particular trend to make a comeback any time soon xmxmdnd

It’s kind of surreal in a way, finding someone who knows exactly what I’m talking about and sharing that mutual experience. I know there have to be more of us out there but I feel like a good chunk of them have probably moved on from anime fandom content so I’m very glad to have found you like this. 💕

I unfortunately got busy with one of my own projects yesterday and didn’t get a chance to read anymore of your stuff, but I’m really looking forward to diving in once I’m done. When I tell you I am 👀 eyeballing the hell out of your Sesshomaru fics cmdkxmdmd

Also, if I may ask, are you by any chance a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho? 🥹

"I don’t know if people really believe me or if I just sound like a hunch backed crone standing on her front porch waving her cane at the neighborhood kids, yelling at them to appreciate what they’ve got because back in my day … but it really was such an incredibly different landscape."

We can both be crones, in that case! But no, I completely get what you're saying. It was SO different. I am genuinely appreciative of the fact that "reader fic" is so popular and the distaste I see for it is mainly "it's clogging up the regular tags" rather than the absolute nastiness that used to be associated with any OCs or inkling of "hey I like these characters, wouldn't it be neat if they wanted me?"

OCs in general were considered taboo enough, but reader fic was just… not a "thing" back in the early 2000s, really, not in the style we know it today. When second person was used, it was usaully meant to be stylized (rather than today where the intent of second person is "reader fic," to pull the reader into the story in a different, visceral way) and second person fics would fall into the OC bucket.

Gosh on that note, I remember "Mary Sue Hunter" groups that would find any OCs on ye olde fanfiction.net and leave reviews with forms to determine how much of a "Mary Sue" someone's OC was.

If you were going to attempt an OC, it felt like you had to make them Super Super Boring and Normal and Ordinary and No Actual Characters Ever Fell in Love with Them (except maybe non-important side characters) in order to get people to leave you alone.

Not that there's anything wrong with writing characters who are ordinary but it rarely felt it was an organic decision from the authors, but rather a reflection of what was "okay" to write.

Fandom is so different now. As you said, there's some things I miss ("don't like, don't read" and "you're responsible for what you read" being the standard etiquette, for one...) but plenty that I don't, too.

Also, if I may ask, are you by any chance a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho?

Yessss. I love it. I have so many discarded OCs from my teenage years from YYH, they were all ridiculously self-indulgent ofc. I do want to at some point write a few yandere YYH characters, but I haven't gotten any inspiration for it yet.

MySpace deathcore is the best.

Anyone else an atheist/agnostic in the very annoying way that isn't "I do not believe in anything. Life is meaningless, there is nothing after death, I am 100% sure of this" but instead the "I subscribe to a complicated, nebulous & unstable system of tidbits of bullshit I cherrypicked out of like nine religions based on vibes and personal convenience. Some of these beliefs are explicitly contradictory. Some of them I believe in only halfway, or a different amount at different times, I know nothing & I'm just vibing really. Vibes. My belief system is vibes."

Cranial fluids, Devoured by Maggots Demo:

Found this band on Bandcamp and bought their limited run two track demo, absolutely loved it and the cover art. I’m sad it’s so short of a discography but definitely worth checking out.

I can't find any new stuff of my fav band ever (it hurts) so I'm posting my probably 2nd fav band pics. Their oldschool thrash metal rockstar aesthetic is striking ❤

Most of pictures are from Jeff's Instagram.

the product placements are killing me. They are so unnatural. That's’ almost “Why R U” level 🤣

They are actually kinda clever for doing a story about an advertisement company and then have their sponsors actually get advertisement in the drama (it’s clever but so on the nose that it hurts lol)

Girl, I don’t know what your sexuality or identity has to do with your skin but thanks for mentioning I guess....?
