Mad T Party Misadventures

(The tea cup is full of vodka)

With Tumblr seeming like it’s going to start purging blogs it might be a good idea for y’all to save whatever pics/posts you don’t want to lose.

I’m not going to be deleting this blog, but with how this site is going there’s a good chance the staff will.

I hope you all are doing alright and I hope life has been kind to you since mtp ended.

What happened to tflt?

Wow it’s been a little over a year now huh? I guess what happened was a couple of things really.

First of all the show ended. That alone makes it difficult to stay motivated to remain active, especially for such a small fandom that is so remotely based in CA (as someone living out of state that didn’t make it any easier).

Second was some fandom stuff. I’d met some really amazing people while running that blog. But there were shitty ones too. I tried to avoid talking about it but there were multiple individuals that would send rude messages. Some of which told me to stop tagging my posts in the fandom tag altogether (I did that in hopes of avoiding conflict).

Thirdly were just some personal reasons. 2015-2016 has been a difficult time. I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety and trying to maintain daily postings on TFLT (no matter how much I loved it) became difficult while also trying to find the energy to go to work and school every day. the final reason is that my old laptop died on me. It had all the photos I had been using for the site on it (along with some school and art work) that ended up getting lost/scrapped.

I’ve considered reviving the blog again, but it would take a lot of time and effort to re-collect everything. That being said it could still happen if people are still interested.

Thank you for your message anon. I hope you have a nice day!

I’ve been a part of multiple fandoms in my life. I’ve seen the rise and fall of fandom empires and have seen my fair share of drama and dysfunctionality .

But this fandom takes the cake.

Let me preface this by saying that I have met a number of wonderful people here, people I would love to encounter and interact with on a regular basis. But some of the people in this fandom are assholes.

Almost every interaction I’ve had in this fandom has been you people pouring over all you know about these musicians and how often you see them and how much you “interact/hang out” outside of T. You people treat your encounters with these performers like currency instead of appreciating that you have these wonderful people in your lives on a Regular. Basis.

And to top it off, you treat each other like shit.

The first time I ever saw this band in person was magical. But even then I experienced fans shoving elbows in my face trying to get closer to the stage or pushing into my space. Despite that I still wanted to join the fandom. Since then I have heard horror stories of what you guys do to each other on a regular basis. You guys seem to think it’s totally okay to verbally and even physically attack each other in from of the stage. I’m not even going to start on the shit you people pull behind each other’s back.

Some of you people are so possessive of these performers that you no longer see them as fucking human beings. They’re just things to you. Things that you fight and hurt each other over. Things that you aren’t afraid of invading their personal privacy because you want to be someone in the fandom who “knows” them (except to you people “knows” is synonymous to “owns”). 

I actively participated in this fandom because of a very select number of individuals. They know who they are. I didn’t join it for the fandom, because it is so dysfunctional and so damn toxic. 

But if you’re still reading, I’m going to try and end this on a positive note.

This show has has such an incredible impact on my life, as it has with just about all of you. It has affected how I perceive myself, and introduced me to some great people. This blog exists because of the show, and it became a constant for me for the past year. Posting everyday gave me something to strive for. As long as I could post every day, I felt as if life was manageable (these past couple months have been difficult).

The musicians in this show are incredible and so very talented. I count myself lucky to have been introduced to them through this special show. 

Those I consider friends in this fandom are some of the most wonderful, friendly, open, and welcoming people I have ever met. And I blessed to have met all of you.

I hope the rest of you can grow and mature. I wish all of you the very best, and I mean that sincerely. All of us are damaged in our own ways. And this show has been a coping mechanism for the majority of you. I know T has helped you heal, and I hope you continue to do so now that the show has ended.

Please love and support each other.

- Mary
