“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
Look yes Jason committed atrocities and tried to be a drug lord but he's also the only bat to have killed a rapist and a nazi so I have no choice but to adore him
it's the last day you can rb this
Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.
We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.
The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.
Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.
Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.
There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.
Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.
We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.
I have so many feelings about Hobie’s back patch you know the spider with the letters
And for the longest time before I saw the movie I was sitting there going “SFMN? SMFN??” Like I got SM is spider man and just could not for the life of me figure out the FN
Until I saw the movie and suddenly it clicked
Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man
Like be still my HEART you’re telling me that Hobie Brown Mr spider punk still came up with (in his universe, HIS canon) that moniker and liked it enough to put it huge on his back so everyone can see
There’s just something so wholesome about seeing a punk with the title ‘friendly’ attached to them (which they are, like they are the MOST friendly) because you know most people would see him and be like Oo scary punk spider but he’s like no I am in fact your friendly neighborhood spider man read my vest
I just have a lot of feelings about this and I love Hobie and Spider-Man and Spiderverse and uugghhh
on their clit like morse code
So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.
Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”
PLATONIC INTERPRETATIONS OF CHARACTER DYNAMICS ARENT ANY LESS VALID THAN ROMANTIC ONES PELASEE
i have the opposite of that “everyone is an npc” mentality people have embraced where i’m instead like. the person next to me in line has someone they can’t wait to go home to, the person picking up their mail has felt devastation before, everyone in this grocery store is doing their sunday shopping, maybe the person that just honked at me is having the worst day of their life, my neighbor has doctors appointments and favorite foods and a song they can’t stand to hear anymore… you are all fully realized complex people and that is overwhelming me on a spiritual level…
