my diable jambe temperature take on sanji — the extreme emphasis fandom places on his vinsmoke background (which is absolutely an important part of his character that should be examined, don’t get me wrong, but i’m talking about the way it sometimes eclipses everything else in his life in fanon) sands down his complexities and creates a less interesting version of him. “character with shitty bio family” can be found all over media. “character with shitty bio family, starvation trauma, and complex relationship with masculinity and aggression nurtured by his foster dad” is its own thing. plus this contributes to fanon sanji often being seen as this refined, delicate “princely” figure when he is canonically a rude fucking bastard (which is what i love about him.) he’s a pirate not a prince for gods sake.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about piracy lately and in light of this i do need to say something because I've been seeing a lot of misinformation.

anti-viruses, vpns, ad-blockers- none of these are going to help you here.

the first thing you're going to need is a good solid boat (preferably oak wood). you will also want some cannons and a plank depending on the sort of shenanigans you plan on getting into.

Also! Not once have i seen any of you talking about the importance of citrus fruits and vitamin C. antivirus doesn't prevent scurvy. come on you should know this by now.

this sort of misinformation is wildly dangerous and irresponsible.

Your comments mean something even when the author never replies.

If you ever feel like you don't contribute to fandom because you "only" comment—

A regular serial commenter just joined a fandom Discord server I'm on and people are coming out of the woodwork to thank her for her service to the fandom, expressing how much joy her comments on their works bring them.

Remember—they're never only comments.

[themandylion]

If you're a reader who gets nervous about leaving comments, please take a moment to read the notes on this post. The tags alone have been giving me life for the past week, and it's honestly lovely.

[themandylion]

#fandom isn't about producing fan content anyway#it's about community and engagement#comments on fanworks and interactions with fellow fans IS contributing to fandom#never forget that

Shout-out to @raiphend for the addition of these very correct tags.

People who "only" comment are so so important. I recognise the usernames of people who regularly comment on my fics and I love them all. In fact I love anyone who leaves an uplifting comment on my work, whether it's once or repeatedly. Interaction is so important, it's really nice to feel like you're connecting with people via what you create, even if just for a brief moment.

part 1/3 for the imminent chapter 1 😈

if you guys really like a fic you should, like, actually engage with it & leave kudos & comments btw. recently on reddit someone talked about their experience in fandom after they deleted all their fics bc they felt ostracized & lonely (no one talked to them, no one commented on the fics). right after doing that, the person started getting messages on their social media profiles from different users telling them the fics meant so much, they raved about them in discord servers, etc etc.

like that guts me, you know? because writing IS kind of a lonely experience and when you share your writing you want to CONNECT with others. but if no one comments, if no one talks to you, if they make you feel like you're screaming into an empty room, of course you're gonna delete everything & leave. of course you're gonna be pissed off when suddenly out of "nowhere" others start popping up talking about how much them & their discord server loved your fic.

HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS OFF DISCORD. HAVE THEM WITH THE WRITER. we are fans too! like damn. can we not make people feel extra lonely or something. leave kudos. leave comments. talk to writers!!

Rewatched Hazbin Hotel season 2 as I’ve been listening to the soundtrack recently. The song Brighter is a new fav. I can’t stop listening to it.

My favorite part about OPLA season 2 is that they let Zoro be dumb

*grabbing mlm shippers by the shoulders* guys nobody needs to be the twink. nobody needs to be the sub. nobody needs to be the femboy. they can both be big fat hairy men who bask in each others masculinity or they can both be unspeakable monstrous creatures with inhuman genitalia it’s okay I’m holding your hand. Let me show you the way
