Things I Wish I Knew Earlier In Fandom

But maybe these will help somebody now.

Most of your fandom experience is shaped by who you follow. Find a good group of people and stick with them.

Support your favs and a lot of them will become your friends, or at least be friendly back to you.

Just unfollow people who bring unwanted content or negativity onto your dash.

Block people who cause you stress. It’s not worth your time to focus on parts of fandom that don’t make you happy.

Blacklisting words/tags is a tool you are allowed to use as much as you need to.

Don’t feel like you have to pretend to like things that make you uncomfortable in order to fit in. Set healthy boundaries for yourself.

Never tag your hate. Never send hate anons to someone.

Content creators love getting comments, seeing people gush in the tags on reblogs, and getting fans in their inbox. It’s the best way to motivate them to keep making awesome stuff.

If there’s certain content you want to see but it doesn’t exist yet, then make it. Draw the thing, write that fic. If you can’t, then comission an artist or writer, or send someone a prompt if they’re open to it. If you can’t do that either, then write meta or headcanons about it. Put it into the world.

Create what you love. Do it for yourself first and foremost, and if even one other person likes it too, then that’s a bonus.

gatekeeping is dumb and if you don’t delight in teaching newcomers about your favorite things, then why are those things even your favorite

The older I get the more fiercely protective I get of younger girls. I was heading into work yesterday and I saw that 12 year old (I mentioned her before, the one who wore makeup) talking to this older man. She’s normally really bubbly but she looked a little more subdued talking to him so I go over and loudly say “Hey sweetheart, who’s this?” And the guys just glares at me and she says “oh um his name is Justin.” And I’m like “Hi Justin, how do you know her?” And he gets nervous and is like “I just saw her jogging and thought I’d give her pointers.” So I just kinda tilted my head and looked at him for a minute. He literally asked me “are you a cop or something? I haven’t done anything wrong.” So I took her to the McDonald’s near by, bought her something and had a talk about not talking to strangers. Low key I’m debating the next time I see her parents (they drop her off at the gym and leave her there for hours) to maybe have a talk with them or something. Idk if it’s my place tho

[gluten-free-pussy]

Just to add because some messaged me saying that I was being a nosey bitch: so a woman who used to go to my gym (and my same university. Like I used to see her at my job and on campus) actually went missing not far from my intersection (literally a 5 min walk away from the major intersection) on may 10 and they found her body literally last week (June 19). Everyone has been on high alert lately so when I saw this random dude talking to this little girl, my brain immediately went into defence panic mode. So yeah call me nosey if you want

[parttimepup]

This world could use more nosey b*tches.

[cocksmasher69]

I’ll stop being a nosey bitch when males stop being predators

[monarda-fistulosa-deactivated20]

Always be a nosy bitch where young girls are concerned. Always be a nosy bitch where creepy old men are concerned

[ruby-white-rabbit]

His first reaction was to go on the defensive and ask if she was a cop. HE WAS UP TO NO GOOD AND KNEW IT. That girl he was talking to was 12. TWELVE.

Be a nosey bitch til the day you die. No regrets.

[brownbarbiesugar-deactivated201]

Pleas be nosey. If this was my little 11-yo sister I would want every adult woman near her to be “nosey” as fuck. Protect our girls!!!

Went for dinner at Rocko's diner in Mission BC. Riverdale's diner scenes are filmed there. Plus a few other movies. Pretty cool place and good food.

Just so you all know..

This blog is 100% anti PETA.

We love our vegetarian and vegan friends and family (and I have a lot of them!!). We don’t support an organization that claimes to love animals and does nothing but hurt them and the people who love them.

Hugs and support to my extended dog show family at Crufts.

[mitskisguitar]

Not saying that youre wrong because peta is on some sketchy shit but what did they do to hurt animals?? Again not saying that ur wrong I just don’t know

PETA’s Shelter Euthanized 72% Of Its Animals Last Year.

PETA kills “rescued” lobsters by putting them in fresh water

PETA Joins Forces with Group Working to Kill All “Pit Bulls” Nationwide

PETA thinks that keeping pets is cruelty and slavery

PETA’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad History of Killing Animals 

More why PETA is horrible

[thnksfrthmania]

We also do NOT support vegans that force their carnivorous pets to live on a vegan diet. Hypocrisy is somthing I HATE and if you really cared that much about animals you would do the research needed to feed your pets a species appropriate diet.

My favorite Ragnarok headcanon is that the entire movie is a story Thor is telling the audience. That’s why it opens with a monologue, that’s also the reason of the sudden tone shift into comedy and that’s why despite all the horrible things that happen, it’s so endlessly optimistic. The real events that transpired were probably very similar, just much, much darker. 

[growingpaynes-art]

This really explains so much, like how characters like Loki and Hulk, and Thor himself, are so different from the other films- because we’re seeing them through Thor’s eyes. The dialogue is different as well, much more casual and shorthand with use of slang in place of the typical Shakespearean lines, because Thor is paraphrasing in his retelling of the events. I like to imagine that Thor’s audience is actually the asgardians on the ark at the end of the film, mostly families and children, so he’s ramping up the goofiness and drama (you are now meeting the grandmaster, please dont cut my hair, get help), using childish humor (the naked hulk), and poking fun at everything (surtur’s big eyebrow). They were all just extremely traumatized, so Thor is taking care of his people in the only way he currently can- taking comedy theatre tips from loki.

Writing Advice: it doesn’t matter if an idea has been done before. It’s never been done by you. So long as you do it well, and in your own way, it’s a wonderful contribution.

White couples that adopt non-white kids

[draumbouy-deactivated20150111]

If you’re getting mad at someone for adopting a parentless child and bringing that child into a loving home because their skin color doesn’t match then you need to take a good hard look at your priorities, evaluate your life, and ask yourself how you sunk this fucking low.

[peggingpadalecki-deactivated201]

“That’s not what people are “getting mad about.” historically, children of color who are adopted by white families have had their cultures systematically belittled, erased or whitewashed. Not to mention many of these whites families hold a white savior attitude that perpetuates the idea that people of the color need saving- when in reality, white people as a class have created the dire circumstances that result in orphans or parentless children of color (look to countries terrorized by western colonization and imperialism). And lastly, there is a recorded history, at least in the US, of adopted kids of color being subjected to racialized abuse by white parents. Before demonizing people of color who raise these issues, attempt to critically reflect and recognize you may been so deep in your privilege that you can’t see reality.” - @decolonized-doll

I’ve worked in child welfare for the past 4 years and I have seen so many children of colour (mostly first nation bc I’m from Canada) lose their culture/identity from being adopted into white families. Not to mention Canada has a serious issue with taking children of colour and placing them in white families instead of trying to help the original family learn to better care for their children (also Canada has a shitty history with this, google “60’s scoop” and “residential schools”). As a person who’s family and people/ancestors have been traumatized for generations by white people adopting out their children, I get irked by this issue and understand where OP is coming from.
