Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"
My teacher prepared to give me a math test. I know I forgot about (I'm going to fail)
me, a normal danny phantom phan: you see, this is a joke because there are no normal danny phantom phans. we're all creating and engaging in fan content of a cartoon that ended 18 years ago. dissection fics are not only a thing, but they are a huge part of this phandom's fanfiction consumption. on my last fic, i had to make a tag called, "danny is actually having a good time (for once)" because i knew no one would believe the fluff tag by itself. we're so far gone that wes weston isn't just a thing, but a thing that people new to the phandom assume that they must have missed when they watched the show. along with that, valerie is never called the red huntress, and paulina's never called sanchez, but we've gaslighted everyone including ourselves into believing that these things are completely canon. whenever i see "phantom planet compliant" as a tag i get personally offended. like how dare you follow the canon ending of this nearly 21 year old tv show that i watch once every couple of years.
I think a lot about how well-liked Kagome must be at school. Japan doesn't like to acknowledge it to ever change it but the schools there have a massive bullying problem. If you ever don't fit the norm, odds are it shows at school. And simply GOING to school is a big deal, so honestly realistically Kagome would be relentlessly bullied for being a home hermit 99% of the time. So it really speaks to her character that she's got nothing but supportive friends and teachers.
Guys I gotta wrote a short story in under 2 days am I cooked?

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF
Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid
Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship
Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for
The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining
The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read
It’s THAT simple
I look away for one fucking second and his pants are GONE
