you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

op how does it feel to be the most correct person on earth

[girl-blorbo-polls]

If you were handcuffed to your girl blorbo with magical unbreakable handcuffs for 24h, would you be okay with this?

I trust her, I’ll be fine

I trust her, but it’ll be a stressful 24h

It depends on what kind of day we’re having

This is gonna suck…

I do think it’s funny when headcanons are presented as objective character facts bc I get “He would not fucking say/do that” as much as the next guy but I must also humbly acknowledge its powerful cousin named “A skilled enough writer could make me believe he would”

[ineptshieldmaid]

I posit a third category: “I’m tentatively open to believing he would do that but I’ve taken a chance on 3-10 fics and noped out every time”.

Subtypes/conclusions:

- turns out he would not do that

- the people who firmly believe he would do that are not sufficiently skilled

and

- I’m going to have to write it myself

come and get it while it's hot (to go)!

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Being A Fan Of Something Popular: Expectation vs Reality.

People who have been in fandom for 20 minutes: It’s funny how this is making fun of that one particular show.

Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".

You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.

YOU MEAN FUCKING VISUAL KEI

I actually went ahead to look up "angelpunk" and found the promotion of the video on r/evangelion and the only 4 comments on it are from this single guy that ruthlessly rips into how poorly researched this video is in scathing, heavily worded criticism (I couldn't even fit it into a single screenshot and they definitely couldn't fit it into a single comment)

[cheesenames]

also idk if it's a generational gap or a more general shift but i feel like people used to frame it as "i'm in x fandom and my otp is [ship name]" and now i see a lot more "i'm in [ship name] fandom"

[cheesenames]

adding @grumfy 's expert insights

[cheesenames]

#theres something in there that when you have people just in “ship”fandom these ships get so isolated and myopic#that they lose all distinction...the ideal breeding ground for migratory slash fandom#like in most media the relationship to other characters and the settings is. important. to whatever the ship is#but if youre just like “im in here with the ship!” it doesnt really matter#plug in fanfic trope number 3 and youre good

interesting points from @ireallyamabear too

[letyukisayfuck]

i meant to have something to post for tanabata but that didn't happen so. uh. take this i guess
