funny how the years they just pass us by

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[mollyjames]

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.

i swear sometimes it feels like vast swathes of people on here think there's some moral value to "annoying"ness like it's morally incorrect to be annoying so if you're not doing anything wrong it can't be annoying and if you're annoyed with someone they must have morally failed or something. Like my god. Have you never just been irked by something harmless before?

i deserve a medal for this post. not because i was particularly funny but because i survived an onslaught of nearly one hundred gimmick blogs in the wake of this post popping off, and the fact that i didn’t try to track any of them down and snuff them out with my bare hands is a testament to my immeasurable strength and should be rewarded. at one point i had “the official letter h” add on to this post. you wanna know that blog’s gimmick? the really funny and original and worthwhile gimmick the official letter h blog had? yep you guessed it they just gave me the god damned letter H and then fucked off. only jesus knows the suffering i endured over that harsh winter, and he wept for me

Elizabeth, you must surely be aware that I am unable to view the roads from my apartments due to the vastness of my estate…

[alsuper2]

Oh, please do forgive my mistake, Catherine, I had only assumed you could see from that ostentatiously high pedestal atop of which you have placed yourself

i just think if youre usamerican and within an online fan community for something thats also predominantly liked by usamericans You should be nicer and more open minded to fans that arent from the us and maybe dont treat them like some sort of strange fucking creatures. you might get more fans to talk to and befriend if you dont act like the us is the default for everyone in existence. this applies to everything ever when it comes to interacting with others online but im talking about fandom bullshit currently so keep that in mind

[attex]

genuinely if youre a grown ass adult that goes "wtf you never had a childhood xD" because someone in your fandom community said they didnt have a nintendo console or some shit you need to grow up asap and consider how that can be alienating and add up to this person over time and make them not wanna bother with your poking and prodding. because so many usamericans do the exact same shit .

it may sound like something silly to you but maybe you should consider the fact that not everywhere on earth is the same. youre on the internet, there are people across the globe talking to you!! id say you should be thankful if someone from across the earth is into the same stuff as you are, be grateful about how you share a passion for a piece of art despite the distance yknow

[attex]

again, this applies to literally everything. it applies to all sorts of minorities within a given group, they will get alienated and treated weirdly for not fitting in and have their rightful complaints ignored so they dont wanna engage. im just speaking from how ive felt in online fan communities as someone not from the us or imperial core in general

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

[peach-pot]

(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)

I wonder how it feels to be a therapist or psychiatrist in 2026 and watch the despair of young patients and realize it’s not attributed to mental illness but a rational response to the state of the capitalist hellscape world we live in

[ryan-sometimes]

I’m not depressed because I need a higher dose of my mood stabilizer. I’m depressed because I spent years of my life working my fucking ass off to get a degree in biochemistry from one of the top universities in the world only to apply to over 100 jobs and the only one I land is one I hate every second of doing, the work is literally useless, and in spite of being there over 40 hours a week I still don’t make enough to pay rent. The food benefits I get can’t even feed a german shepherd. I’m 23 years old with a college degree asking my parents to take me grocery shopping so I don’t starve. I’m not upset because of my mental illness I’m upset because I work my ass off only to be broke and miserable

[divine-sins]

I am a therapist in 2026 and this is so....real.

And theres no way to even say that any of the fear and thoughts can be "worked" on because all of it is so valid and real.

Its no longer about learning to swim in a turbulent sea, its now just finding ways to not completely choke on the water, all while the water is finding new innovative ways to drown people. Its not about growth. Not even thriving. Surviving.
