Viewers: Oh man, that We Bare Bears show is so cute and funny! I love the dynamic of the brothers and I’d love to see more of it! Even reruns would be great, since it’s so cute!

Viewers: Amazing World of Gumball can be a little weird…but it’s also funny! And it teaches some valuable lessons to kids! I might tune in to reruns of it if they were on!

Viewers: Over the Garden Wall looks really interesting! But it’s never on…I’d really like to start watching it and have the option to see it on TV so I don’t have to find it on the internet!

Viewers: Steven Universe is a really good show with lots of representation! It also teaches morals to kids in various ways! I wish it were on more, or even had a definite time slot for reruns!

Viewers: I miss Adventure Time… I heard its sixth season is coming out soon, but reruns of it are never shown on TV…it almost feels like it’s disappeared…I wish it was shown more…

Viewers: Regular Show is also kinda weird, but it’s also funny like Gumball! And random life lessons often show up! I’d probably watch reruns of it if they were shown!

Cartoon Network: So ur saying…….u want………more teen titan go??

We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens. We are ready to hang, electrocute, or lynch anyone, who, from economic necessity, will risk his own life in the attempt upon that of some industrial magnate. Yet our hearts swell with pride at the thought that America is becoming the most powerful nation on earth, and that it will eventually plant her iron foot on the necks of all other nations. Such is the logic of patriotism.

when we first got married i had to psych myself up every time to say “my wife” to a new person. it was awkward because with “girlfriend” a lot of people would just assume i meant “friend,” and of course “fianceé” is gender-neutral when spoken, so we’d always had plausible deniability. but the meaning of “wife” is pretty unavoidable. still, i made myself do it on principle, and slowly but surely it became natural.

now i love saying “my wife,” to everyone all the time. i love saying it to the old woman distributing the strawberries at the farm share, asking if she knows where i can still get rhubarb because every summer i make my wife a pie. i love saying it to the gay employee helping me at crate and barrel, telling him i’m buying these glasses because my wife and i both had them growing up, and seeing his eyes light up. i love saying it to friends of friends and to new acquaintances and to potential coworkers and to the women at the laundromat. i love being aggressively out, and i love having such an easy way to be aggressively out. i love being the first woman with a wife someone has ever met, making our existence part of their reality. i love being visible for other lgbt people who might feel a little less alone knowing i’m there, which helps me push past the fear when it comes. most of all, i love not hiding. i love saying “my wife” and i love my wife.

Most people I know had that one movie as a kid; that one movie that they would watch over and over and over to the resigned acceptance of their parents. I’ve always thought that movie says something about a person. What was your movie?

Someone: wow you're really mature for your age

Me: thanks, it's the childhood of abuse and neglect that forced me to grow up and learn how to care for myself and protect myself long before a child should have had to

I would pay top dollar for a comprehensive, source-supported explanation of how Superwholock vanished.

Like……..that was the core of tumblr in 2013. Its tainted life-blood. Its fetid royal palace. Destiel this and Johnlock that. Tardis-in-the-impala-at-221B URLS. Bendydoot Cucumberpatch and long analytical debates of which doctor is best doctor

What caused the end? What destroyed it? What series of events sunk this fortress? I’m so. So curious. This was so much of what tumblr was. So unavoidable. It’s cultural history. I want. to know.

So I’m not completely sure but I think you can pinpoint the disappearance to the month following Dashcon. Like, the entire year prior, things were going fucking insane; The DW 50th anniversary, Sherlock returned after a hiatus, Dean became a demon or something I don’t remember. Point is, the fans were worse than ever. 

And then Dashcon happened: All those people got together for a nightmarish event in the ball pit (for anyone who doesn’t know what Dashcon was, look it up and read any of the news articles about it. I promise, you will not be disappointed). 

Now, I wasn’t too active on tumblr at that point because of school reasons, but I remember finding out that the new season of Supernatural had aired on TV, and I saw NOTHING about it on tumblr. Not a single post on my dash. It was a miracle, but I was so confused. How had the whole fandom just vanished like that? I still don’t know for sure, but it was very shortly after the Dashcon incident. 

Then Doctor Who returned. New doctor and a new companion. Same scenario. Nobody said anything online. I was still big into DW so that was kind of a bummer but it was still astounding.

I went back online more readily and started realizing that fandoms, as I had known them, were essentially dead after that summer. It was like everybody simultaneously realized how toxic those communities were after they all got together in person and proved themselves to be a disgusting bunch.

It was the fastest and most unsettling jump in internet culture I’d ever seen. Overnight it became an embarrassment to admit that you were in a popular fandom. All because of fucking

“Superwholock died as a result of Dashcon” is the most fascinating theory I’ve heard in a while amazing

(And you know, seasonal rot and kids getting older and all that but s t i l l)

[agirlwithachakram]

i think there’s also something to be said for the quality of the shows themselves. people who stuck it out through Matt Smith didn’t feel like 12 could possibly be better because the fiftieth was SO SO bad. Supernatural’s last season with an interesting and coherent plotline was season 7 but people still had hope for a while longer. The third season of Sherlock was so goofy that people gave up on it. so Dashcon may have been a factor but the rapidly declining tolerability of the shows themselves was responsible as well.
