I mean, the BBC Merlin series is what.... 10 years old by now? The community is still there and as someone coming late to the party I'm so happy for that!
Go take a leaf out of the Merlin Fandom's book (I say, sincerely hoping there is no major bad thing there I don't know about xD)
Fandom is so different now and itβs becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.
I just want to enjoy things. I donβt want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.
Yaβll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.
Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.
Fandom is Capitalism now and Iβm not being nuanced.
I would love to know whether it was the writers' or Kayvan Novak's idea to have Nandor clutch Guillermo's sweater the entire time while the latter is hiding from the Baron in s5
Making myself sad while editing Chapter 6 of my WWDITS fix it, which is basically Nandor and Guillermo watching Season 5
I mean, imagine Nandor watching how Guillermo was turned. That he was buying his turning from anyone who would offer, just getting it over with in a supermarket backroom. To see how low Guillermo had stooped for it.
It's just so sad. I need to get to the fluff soon. XD
(Also quick reminder that this is not me abandoning my Astarion longfics. This is just a detour. I will be back.)
I share this sentiment. FOR MY AO3 READERS!
I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
Well, what other choice do they have? There will be only one bed πββοΈ
Made a spell for my dear friend who gets really excited about their interests in our group chats
I can't stop thinking about how it takes 45 seconds to get to the refrain in Jojo's Leave (Get out).
Nandor and Guillermo stood there for 45 seconds, and even then, Guillermo doesn't immediately turn at "Get out".
He tears away after "its the end of you and me".
This show, honestly...
When your own WIP makes you cry... π
(This is not what it looks like, I haven't abandoned my Astarion fics. This is just a quick detour of vomiting out a multi-chapter fix-it to mend my broken heart after s6)
"Ways to know you did something wrong: you sugar coated it for your therapist."
-Durge, probably
I mean, it would have taken me ages to find out how fast the average bat would be compared to a car, let alone a vampire in bat form.
My fics are nothing if not scientifically researched. π
It's stience. πββοΈ
I need this as an automated email sent to every person interacting with me
