#the point is the fake FANDOM

Zepotha will never be Goncharov because when it comes down to it, tumblr culture is collaborative, while tiktok culture is merely iterative, and those are not the same thing.

I rly don’t see how ppl be 20+ shipping kids anymore tbh… like, it’s so rampant and I don’t see the appeal to it anymore being as tho I’m in my late 20’s.

I need a primer on Dan and Phil lore because I was never in that fandom and I feel like I’m encountering Supernatural-levels of information lurking beneath the surface

I love when fandoms pretend to be progressive and then POC calling out racism is all it takes for them to lose their minds

thinking about when Blaine was in prison and being downright hysteric and near tears about getting cancelled for all the child murder and begged and pleaded that Don E give him the additional 10k to get him out of prison which Don E didn't have but still got him and then hid him from the public at his own mother's house

and once he was out, the first thing Blaine had to say was about how it made him want to go back to prison.

Not even kidding I would have killed him then and there.

Listen

I love Sun Summoner!Kaz fics just as much as the next guy over, but the fact that canonically Kaz is a language illiterate little shit is just such a funny thing to me that I HAD TO

I was right about seeing Polytheus again this week. Just one episode off. 😆 He was only present for a minute, but what a beautiful minute it was. Look how proud he is about painting this mossy rock! (Even if it never got used as intended.)

whoa thank you so much for the explainantion, i wasn't sure where to find the intro post so that was perfect. Also I didn't realise that the artist Fish in a Birdcage was from ireland, what great info ee :)

Without knowing very much (so absolutely feel free to ignore if it doesn't suit ya), perhaps if playing an instrument is ever something he gets to do, he could play a fiddle or even a banjo lol, will look forward to learning about this guy and other characters in his universe (i also have no idea what an iterator is so, learning curve) thanks again :]

of course! i'm glad to explain the stuff

OOOOOOOOOOGHHHHRHHG... FISH ON A BANJO,,, i'll have you politely know that i adore that idea a lot. assigning characters instruments and such is one of my favorite things to do! Fish already has hurdy-gurdy assigned to his name (those apparently may have evolved from fiddles, huh, neat!), but oh i would Not mind puttin a banjo into his hands

oh! are you new to this fandom? i'd very much recommend looking into the game Rain World either by buying it, watching a playthru or going straight to the lore videos on youtube yourself! these guys are all ocs of mine based off of that, so it might be nice to get to know the canon lore from which ive built them!

[scattered-winter]

sometimes i see a post and its like. hm. you actually care very little about the story or characters or plot at all bc all you want is for the token male twinks to kiss.

[neos-schlond-poofa]

thank god kinning culture calmed down before the release of rl cause i don’t think the fandom would be the same if we were all hardcore kinnies fighting for the role of being a character irl the most

[robotsafari]

does nobody like repliku…??

[onetwothree]

obsessed with the way the pokeani fandom is divided rn between people who r like "ASH WILL FIGHT LIKO ASH IS LIKO'S FATHER ASH IS LIKO'S BROTHER AND GRANDMOTHER" and people who r like "please let him go... please he's gone now. let him rest in peace" like damn is he fucking dead or something

Confession:

When I tell you if they hadn’t humbled and radicalized this stubborn man the way they did over two seasons I would not love him. Crosshair fr kinda ugly ??😭 he was fine when he had hair in season one, we love a silver fox ok, but so thin omg. He seems kinda beefier a lil bit now but a bald ass bitch with that mangled scar and I’m-?? Chile personality/character > looks any DAY because whew this one 😮‍💨

Sometimes the Me I was before I got into this show looks at the Me I am now like bitch is this your man?? 🤨 THIS??

😭 girl why you couldn’t fall for handsome sergeant Hunterrrr you fuck, or stromg Polynesian man Wrecker or Information Technology BadBatch who low key looks like Jude Law 😭

Omf I take it all back he’s just so pretty??? I’m crying??

What even is this post?? I’m losing it 😭 it’s so unhinged and word vomity

this is a very venty post don't mind me :D

that nintendo direct was so horrible.

it was literally like 80 percent remakes and remasters.

never in my life have i seen an announcement video exist just to say "every game you've ever known since the 90s is being remade/remastered, sorry, we ran out of originality".

literally like all the video game market is anymore is remakes and the movie industry is just as bad.

the nso releases are fine because they're not like, remakes taking up full game slots. they're old games that are being made accessible and that's great... but there's no need to remake this many games when they can do that. remakes used to be rare. remember stuff like the wii u shop and stuff? with all the games they had on those things? now it's a tiny selection and everything else is a remake :/

also I feel like a lot of new rpgs are just like... lowkey fe knockoffs now instead of original rpgs.

i'm happy for like... two existing remakes, but one of them is mario rpg which people wanted waaaaAAAAAYYYY before the remake and remaster era, and the other is baten kaitos which im not actually happy about remaster-wise (the updated ui is trash, they took out very specific charms of the original ui), just happy that it will get more recognition/notice from people since it was never popular.

they also completely removed the english voice acting which like okay yeah it wasn't always that great but the voices fit perfectly and it wasn't as bad as fans meme on it for! it just sounded like they were talking through a tube and that was actually the worst part of it lol.

someone suggested to me that they may have just lost the data for it, but idk. i wish they'd just admit that somehow if it was the case, because it bugs me that the english audio is just completely gone when ultimately i really liked it. i wanted the game to be accessible to newer players, sure, but i also wanted the english audio there. ig that's because i grew up with it and i liked it, but it's still such a bummer for me!

paper mario being put on the nso and tyd getting a whole remaster does make me sad tho bc it feels like they're leaving the original in the dust when it was so good. if you're gonna do tyd, at least do them both.

good for innersloth though, i'm sure they never imagined being on a nintendo direct. they're the real winners here.

Yknow, I do think some of the criticisms about modern vampire media I've seen going around lately are valid in their analysis, but also they simultaneously annoy me, yknow what I mean?

Because yeah sure taking the classic weaknesses out of a vampire can really lessen the impact of what they are and make them overpowered and imbalanced. Yes they were often a metaphor for the upper class and their lifestyles and exploitation. These are valid and fair points! And should be considered!

But so many of these posts are solely looking at the Bram Stoker interpretation of a vampire, and having that be The Only Thing That's Actually A Vampire, and I find that. Kind of irritating and slightly condescending sometimes.

There are all kinds of stories of vampires or blood-drinking monsters from around the world that vary wildly in appearance, abilities and weaknesses. This isn't really a new thing, nobody was ever able to agree on a Set of All Encompassing Rules, some stuff was more common than other rules but not necessarily universal, you get the idea

Plus, like, vampires (and other monsters too!) have been used for a MYRIAD of metaphors, so just the one isn't like, a catch all.

Thirdly and finally idk man I think it has the same vibe as those art videos that are like "Things artists draw WRONG ALL THE TIME! FIXING ART" or "How to Not Make A Mary Sue"
