sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

Saw this on Twitter and wanted to share.

[Image ID: Tweet from Barlow Adams (@/ BarlowAdams) on 12 Jun 2018 reading: You are allowed to be a fan of something and not love absolutely all of it. With increasing frequency, it seems the only two levels of acceptable fandom are complete, utter adoration and confused betrayal. Fandoms are not religions. They can’t, and shouldn’t, function as such. /End ID]

A book you hate teaches you more than a book you love. The book you love you absorb passively, it works and you feel it working and you move on. The book you hate you interrogate. Why doesn't this land. Why do i not care. Where did it lose me and why. You become a diagnostician. You start understanding the machinery from the inside by watching it fail. I have learned more about pacing from books with bad pacing than from anything else. Read the ones that frustrate you and take notes.

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

a couple weeks ago this guy posted in the chicago pagan facebook group saying that he’s a djinn and that there’s a portal between here and egypt and only he and one other person had the power to close it and there was going to be a massive sandstorm… like dude, close the fucking portal, why are you even telling us this

[mrsterlingeverything]

I will do anything to be free

[longnuts]

Even escape?

[mrsterlingeverything]

Lovely to see we have spaces where you can gain access to so much literature!

[sharigax]

My toxic fandom take is that I think that it's awful how much we can talk to creators and get answers from them word of god style. We should be out here in a godless place rooting for scraps of lore in the media like truffle pigs out in the fields

What are some of the unique/memorable Phantom's reactions to "I gave my mind blindly"?

I feel like this overlaps a bit with the “You try my patience” line (a somewhat older comparison video of that scene which you can see here), but off the top of my head, here’s some pretty unique reactions.

Gary Mauer almost slapping Christine:

Stephen R. Buntrock almost going for a stranglehold:

Ian Jon Bourg almost smacking Christine, then having a moment of regret, then backing off on that moment when he sees Raoul:

Thomas Schulze very tenderly lifting Christine’s head and whispering intimately into her ear… while threatening her and her boyfriend:

Flemming Enevold snatching his hand out of Christine’s grip when she tries to appeal to him:

Earl Carpenter had a sudden moment of, “Oh man, what I’m doing is very, very wrong” combined with “crap, is she okay”; subtle acting at its finest:

Marcus Lovett basically collapsing next to Christine:

Geronimo Rauch lifting Christine’s head and actually going for a stranglehold:

Ben Lewis shoving Christine’s head to the side:

Whatever the heck Tim Howar is doing here:

Brad Little taking a very long time to respond, then slowly growling out his line before SUDDENLY SHOUTING. No gif for this, you need video.

Jonathan Roxmouth doing his best impression of a kid throwing a tantrum:

Funny when someone introduces you to something, you get really into it, and then they lose all interest in it. Oh so you’re just going to abandon me at the party you invited me to. Dude you were my ride.
