Some Discord Servers Run The Channels Like It’s The Fucking Navy. You Talk About Fan Art In The Fan

(frantically checks the name and pronouns of someone i speak to regularly despite knowing them)

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

My stomach is growling so loudly and yet I still don't want to eat anything...

I hate being sick

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.

There's this 20-something guy that I work with that exclusively refers to his girlfriend as 'my girl' or 'my lady' and it's genuinely really cute and I'm just amazed that he manages to make it not creepy.

What do you guys think of my waterbottle

teal and orange truly is the greatest color combo in the world. like name one better combo

You have no idea how often I've thought about this concept/art of angels and demons since seeing this post

i don’t know what’s cooler tbh: 

Demon horns being broken halos from when they were angels. 

Demons willingly grow their own halos, but never complete the circle to symbolize their rebellion against heaven’s strict order. 

the cdc says please let me in your house. pretty please. i'm not a vampire i promise. i don't bite people either. i can't cross the threshold until you invite me in. you're being rude

Richarlyson: OH TRUE TIO PHIL did you ever saw I have arms now? But apparently I have arms but I shriken got smaller

Phil: What? [GASPS]

Phil: What the fck? You shrunk? Was it all the honey?

Forever: Yeah. Chayanne, get like next to Richas.

Phil: Wait, you are smaller, what? Wait... huh? [Richarlyson and Chayanne both put on mooshroom hats and stand next to each other to compare heights] Awww! Yeah they have to be aligned, they have to be lined-up. Oh, my God, you're right. Look at you! You're a little bit– little smaller. That's cute– [Richarlyson hits him] Ow. That's cute! I didn't know that, I didn't know you guys had different heights. I had no idea you guys had different heights. I wonder if it's the honey. I wonder if the honey stunted your growth.

Richarlyson: [Starts smacking Phil, who cracks up] STOP
