I dont understand these tags but I'm sure it'll be fine

Everything hurts and I'm dying

How did I live before fanfic?

ok so a friend recommended our flag means death and i started the first episode while my late 40s, slightly right leaning immigrant dad was in the room and HEs ACTAUALLY ENJOYING IT- like were several episodes in and we may be shipping people......just a bit

watching ofmd pt 2

part 2. of watching ofmd with my slightly right leaning immigrant dad and holy sHIT HES SO INVESTED-when we first saw Blackbeard he was like 'definitely softie' and he is now STILL hlding it over my head as we are pulled further into a binge watching abyss- he has stopped lowkey shipping and has started high key shipping. it was inevitable.

is there a phrase for something being super in character? like a character does something that's so like them? I feel like there's a phrase but i can't think of it

joining a series fandom after the majority of it has been released sucks because you don't get to live theories and reactions and you risk spoilers, but it's also really nice because you don't have to worry so much about cliffhangers. You can go straight into the next book or season or movie without thinking about it for a year

This is a bit unrelated and I'm sorry to derail your post, but this feeling is so valid and I want to talk about it.

I can't say how many times my opinion of a piece of media or character or ship shifted negatively due to the fans. As a preteen/early teen, I read all of the Keeper of the Lost Cities books, I was on that side of Pinterest and I was on fandom, but I got so so tired of the fans that I dropped it altogether. The fans were so aggressive with their opinions I started getting anxious every time I looked at anything related to the fandom. And that's not an uncommon experience, for me or for fandoms. So many fandoms have this problem, where fans get so caught up in their opinions they refuse to participate in friendly dialogue and instead opt to get aggressive and insulting. And personally, I'm sick of it. I avoid most fandoms now. I don't join fandoms, I just consume the media privately and don't engage. And though there's nothing wrong with not being involved in a fandom, I think it's terrible that anyone should be made to feel as though they can't join in or that there is some kind of risk involved with participating in a fandom and having an opinion of their own about any given part of it.

If fandoms are communities that come together over shared enjoyment of a piece of media, why are people being mistreated, insulted, and made to feel unwelcome?

The Percabeth community SUCKS

Okay, I’m going to share something about this. The Percabeth fans suck.. especially when I post stuff that isn’t related to the ship. Anytime I talk about even something else, they unfollow me or block me. I posted a Valgrace piece and they unfollowed me. It makes me so mad considering I always have to talk about and share Percabeth art. I really wish I didn’t actually start drawing Percabeth because that ship is so overrated and overused. I do love it but I hate the fans of the ship.. I can’t even do anything. I can’t talk about my ocs or other ships.. it always has to be Percabeth this and Percabeth that.. Percabeth Percabeth Percabeth Percabeth Percabeth Percabeth Percabeth.

In some fandoms, every fic has to be a fix it fic

TikTokers are such pussies when it comes to ships. “B-but they’re not canon 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😖😖” honey back in my day we shipped characters from entirely different medias uphill both ways in the snow

Thinking About Fictional Character while you have music on is such a risky activity. there’s no way EVERY song on this album is literally about Fictional Character. and yet……..

Sometimes it can be very freeing to realize that no matter how weird you are about a thing, there is almost certainly someone else in the world who is much much weirder about a different thing, possibly even a different thing that you are conversely pretty normal about.

We're all weirdos, when normal is measured by someone else's standards.

Every Writer ever:

Some commenter: I loved your fic!! I'm glad to see you update <3

Me:

Me, literally falling apart: I would lay down my life for you

Friendly reminder that being rude to someone because you disagree with their headcanons, ships, or really how they enjoy a fandom at all is not okay.

If they are not actively being harmful, it’s not your place to judge.

And yes, I mean actually harmful. Omegaverse, littlespace, etc. are not harmful.

this came to me at like 3 in the morning lol

does anyone have any links to GIF makers/resources for making GIFs? I want to try making them, and I don't know any good resources. All of the fancy ones are paid, and they don't accept YouTube videos.

best kind of writing is the kind that's like 'we didn't think about the implications of any of this, and surprise! we created nuanced characters and complex worldbuilding'

begging people to understand that our knowledge and in-universe knowledge are not the same thing.

Check this out!

Hey peeps!

So I wanted to know what fandoms are y'all in. So here's a google form for it. If the fandom's something I'm not in, I'll try to get in.

So I hope y'all fill it up then we'll talk about it everyday :)

Thank you!

finals week + fandom stats

Hello friends!

Finals week is upon me and as such I have had to prioritize. This means that despite me chomping at the bit to get more done for my original story, I have unfortunately not done much. For one of my classes, however, I recently did a final analysis on my work. (In fact, it was the same class I started this blog for. ᕱ__< ) In this final analysis I came to some conclusions about one of my projects that made me quite sad. Despite all of the hardwork and effort I put into it, I failed to make an engaging piece of digital media. It was a good piece, but it missed the mark in several areas. BUT! I feel as though it may be of some interest to my fellow fandom nerds here on tumblr. So, since I don’t have much new work to share with y’all this week, I figured I’d release this project into the wild.

For some background information: the assignment was to create an infographic. I wanted to make it something relevant to my interests, so I was struggling a little to come up with something fun and interesting until I remembered a video I saw back when I used to have TikTok. (Yes, I had TikTok. It was cool and fun and all, but it took too much time from my day so I deleted it a little over a year ago. But I digress.) The person in this video was throwing out some fandom stats from Archive of Our Own (popular fanfiction website, though I’m sure most of y’all know that) and I wondered if I would be able to collect my own data from AO3 and make an infographic of that. And so I did.

Needless to say, the data collection took a lot of work. A LOT of work. And once I was finished with gathering, I sorted. And once I was finished sorting, I did some math (incorrectly) and then some more math (correctly) and created my infographic using Adobe Illustrator. And it was okay. If I had the technological skills and know-how to do so, I would have made it an interactive graph which would give you more data when you clicked on stuff. But I didn’t have the skills or know-how. The resulting infographic kinda hits you in the face with a bunch of info and it’s kind of overwhelming. 

So, like I said, it’s not my best work, but I definitely learned a lot from it. And mayhaps y’all might find the information fascinating so… behold, I suppose:

What do you make of it? Is the information surprising? Unsurprising? Completely and utterly uninteresting to you? Let me know! And for those of y’all in college/university with me: good luck on your finals if you have yet to take them and I'm sure you aced your finals if you have already taken them! And if I survive, I’ll see y’all next week! ᕱ__ᕱ

Just remember to dot your j’s and cross your t’s (especially on your final essays)!
