Lychee Loves Comics!

Hi, I'm Lychee and I love comics! Mostly of the mutant variety, but sometimes I'll post some other things I happen to be reading.I read a lot of X-Men, but I'm also a fan of (early) Fables, Saga, and a few DC comics here and there. (... I say that, but you'll notice I have a very clear bias haha)

So this blog got a whole mess of new followers recently, and I figure I should actually introduce myself!

Hello! I go by Lychee and I post comics stuff on this blog. Mostly X-Men... well actually, mostly Storm stuff. But I post a ton of other X-Men things too! I post a bit of my own fan art, and sometimes when I post graphics or photosets, I do a bit of color editing - usually to make Ororo's skin darker because occasionally colorists make her skin really light and washed out... 

I also run the RoLo blog here on tumblr. Most shippy things go there, so if you like Storm but don't like her with Wolverine, you can follow this blog instead without having to worry about seeing them together (though tbh the rolo blog is sometimes an ororo blog just pretending to be a rolo blog haha)

Anyway, thanks for following me and I hope you enjoy your stay! :)

I was talking about this with a friend but a really interesting cultural shift over the last ohhhhhh ten years maybe is that many people in fandoms view themselves as stakeholders and not audience members. Because of that, they think that the fandom should be running things, or at least have an acknowledged say in how something is run. And every reminder that they are not in control, no matter how small, bothers them.

[marisatomay]

This has always existed to an extent but it used to be very siloed and only noticeably prevalent in certain fandoms and everyone else in fandom spaces generally agreed that it wasn’t healthy to act like that. Now it’s seemingly every fandom with an online presence and it’s all happening much more publicly than ye olde Trekkie forum.

I do think that the increase in access to creatives through social media, extended promotional cycles where you do a thousand interviews and all of them get clipped for instagram and tiktok, and an increase in entertainment and fandom aggregate social media accounts which keep people updated on all of those clips and every second of the creative process has had a big hand in creating this sense of ownership that audience members feel. It makes us feel like we’re on the team because we think we know so much. But we are not and we don’t.
