#what a fandom

[curufiin]

ok but the fact some people have the audacity come on MY blog to argue about MY interpretation of characters on MY post is wild. bc i don't remember asking for your input

[inconclusionchemicalsdontexplode]

Kind of impressive that no matter what fandom on Ao3 I look through there will always be a Destiel and/or a Wincest fic.

They are inevitable.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

"Imagine still posting fanart a whole year after the game came out" brother what are you talking about

[wdapteo]

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!

Story of my life

[wardensantoineandevka]

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

I wanna know where people have lately gotten the audacity to leave comments on fanfics talking about how much the fanfic sucked and negatively critiquing an author's fic like it's a published book review.

It pisses me off cause I've seen authors abandoned or delete their fics because of this.

You're getting fanfics for FREE! No one asked for your opinion.

I hope y'all know as authors we get email notifications when you comment so we see EVERY comment that's been left.

We also can see the negative reviews you leave when you bookmark our fics

you know the funniest thing about the pokemon fandom is that everyone i know is currently SO EXCITED they didn't announce gen 10. like everyone else i know who is a pokemon fan is going "LET'S GO THEY DIDN'T ANNOUNCE A NEW GAME!!! LEGENDS IS IN THE HOLIDAY SLOT SO THEY PROBABLY CAN'T ANNOUNCE IT LATER FOR THIS YEAR!!! IT WON'T BE UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!! LET'S GO!!!" and, well, that perhaps says something about,

I need to share how the IT guy at work greeted my department on CrowdStrike Blue Screen Friday. Never have I seen a man so shocked by the sight of perfectly functional computers
