(BOOK ONLY) Since Some Stupid People Have Come Into This Fandom, Everything You Hear Makes You Think

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.

Princess Alyssa Targaryen

Not TG fans thinking Alyssa Targaryen would support Aegon??? Because ‘she is a boy mom’????? And who do you think are the boys she's mom to are? Rhaenyra's two big supporters. Alyssa had two living sons Daemon and Viserys, those two loved Rhaenyra to no end. Alyssa for a fact would stand with her sons before anyone else.

Baelon as well, Rhaenyra was his only living grandchild, who came after miscarriages and stillbirths. And a girl too, this man is said to have wanted a daughter. He was a mama's boy, always by his mother's side till her death. Loved this dead wife for years, till his last breath. Loved her more than life itself.

Tell me this doesn't scream THE REALM'S DELIGHT

I mean look at her😤😤😤

"King Aegon III Targaryen wed Lady Daenaera on the last day of the 133rd year since Aegon’s Conquest."

It's really funny to me how the OCs of 'anti-targ' fans are most likely ALWAYS Targs. Like they'll always have the purple shaded eyes, the silver/golden hair. The Targaryen name, it's most likely never Velaryons either, ALWAYS Targaryen. And of course, not to forget the DRAGONS. Most likely the Cannibal or Vermithor, because they're the biggest ones. You are literally admitting to them being the one of coolest house without admitting to it.

It's endlessly funny to me that there are still so many people who don't get that some of us simply do not care about applying morals to our favourite fictional media.

You can rant and yell and cry about how, according to you, I'm a disgusting monster for loving the sexy evil characters and preferring the problematic pairings with a shit load of sexual tension but here's the thing:

I don't. Fucking. Give a shit.

If you think writing long rants about why a ship is toxic or why a character is a terrible person, and why everyone who enjoys that ship/character is an immoral creep, gives you a higher level of morality... you need to get a grip in all honesty.

It's really not that serious. You're not changing any minds, you're not enlightening anyone - you're just being an annoying asshat who thinks their righteousness is more important than everyone else's fun.

Get over yourself 🖤

Imagine your mother telling you, you will have a new baby sister/BROTHER to play with and then the next day you're standing in front of her corpse. And you're only 8 when this happen.

this my young and motherless rhaenyra 😭
