Another gift fic! This time for httplovecraft1890 😌

One day on discord, Http threw out the idea of Yor checking her handsome husband out and it spiraled into this. I have NO REGRETS!

Enjoy!

You should check this out because it's a great premise and execution. Thank you, Rachel!

Have you heard of the Ship of Theseus?

no. was it problematic or something?

[harmincreasion]

because various constituent parts of the boat could be older or younger than other parts, it was considered the first ever age-gap ship

I’ve been feeling this way about a certain fandom for months now so I have to get it off my chest:

I feel that the SxF fandom has changed for the worse. The downfall of the fandom is so sad to witness. The incident with ShinyBlueBirdWizard was the tipping point in my opinion. The toxic fans now rule the fandom since they think they’ve “won” and it’s just a mess.

This is more evident on the bird app but I’ve also seen less discussions on here too. I really miss the old times where the fandom was more chill and filled with a lot of interesting analyses and discussions rather than random recycled posts for engagement and the same repeated discourse. It is a shame that the fandom is turning into a hive mind.

I’ve muted and blocked a lot of people when I saw that they’re associated or interacted with the toxic group. I don’t tolerate any toxic behavior and I haven’t forgotten what they’ve done to other fans for having different opinions than them. I’ve been a target so I know what it is like.

It’s messed up that being positive and saying good things is seen as “being fake” while being toxic is seen as being honest. I don’t understand this fandom mentality and I’ve been in fandoms for a long time. It’s also very disappointing to see people defend and support this kind of behavior.

I really miss ShinyBlueBirdWizard. I didn’t know them personally but their presence in the fandom was invaluable to me. Their insights and analyses made me appreciate the story even more. I don’t always agree with them but it was fun to read a different perspective on things. I always look forward to Shiny’s posts after a new chapter and now it’s really lonely… I was inspired by them to write my own analyses posts too.

Every new chapter, there are more complaints than there are discussions and it makes me sad especially when we just celebrated the 5th anniversary of the manga’s serialization. I did plan to contribute more discussions and analyses posts but work has been very stressful lately. I’m hoping to change this soon though!

Agreed, unfortunately. Once a fandom reaches a certain threshold, it's always going to attract people who will do everything in their power to make that experience worse for those who don't hold an exact 1:1 to their views. As I've gotten older, the observation that needing to retreat to smaller spaces with certain people you've vetted is true, and it really, really sucks because things shouldn't have to be that way!
