The Cynic and the Optimist

[stcvcn-quartz]

Steven looked down at his phone again, this time just texting without pausing the movie. He read the text and rose a brow. Might? Doesn’t might usually mean no? Is it the other way around? Well, it’s not like Steven couldn’t entertain himself. It would just be nice to have someone new over to hang with.

[[Text]]: Okay! What stuff do you usually like to do when you hang out with others?

He had to see if he could think of some ideas for if he did come over. It’d be better than Max coming over and Steven having no idea what to do.

Max shut his phone off as the woman approached, shoving it into his pocket. He swallowed, and glanced ahead to her. Afterwards, he quickly returned back to his phone, typing up a response to Steven. - After relating both David and Steven, he felt as if he was closer, but to the point of distant friends. His fingers moved easily over the digital keyboard, sending the message instantly. - “I don’t know, I don’t hang out with people often” was his first text, but he quickly sent another. “I really don’t care though”.

Steven stared down at his phone, waiting for him to beep or make a sound, any sound. When he got the message, he read it over and hummed a bit. Well, he has an idea of what they both might like. [Text]: If you want, we can watch cheesy horror movies and make fun of how fake it looks if you want?? Cheesy horror movies are really the only horror movies he could really handle. That and old horror movies, the classics.

Steven jumped when his phone vibrated, placing a hand over his heart. That scared him to death. He sighed and paused the movie, picking up his phone. He giggled and kicked his feet in excitement.

[[Text]]: Well when do you get off work?

[[Text]]: When you're done, maybe you could come over and hang out with me?

Wait, is he being a bit pushy? Going too far too soon? Naw, it'll be fine. Besides, Max would probably like company. He didn't know much about him though, so he wanted to have the opportunity to.

[drawbauchery]

Woo! Made it just in time. Happy Halloween!! QwQ

The Cynic and the Optimist

[stcvcn-quartz]

Steven was currently at home watching Nightmare on Elm Street when his phone buzzed. "Huh?" He paused the movie and open up the text to see that he received it from Max. He gasped and grinned. He almost didn't expect him to actually text back.

[Text]: Hey, Max! How are you?

[Text]: Are you doing anything for Halloween?

He liked putting exclamations to express his tone during texts so other's wouldn't misconstrue his tone or take things the wrong way. He was so excited to make a new friend that he almost couldn't sit still. He played the movie again, looking down at his phone every now and then to see if he got a message yet.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." He grabbed the receipt and looked up as he responded. "Oh, wow really?" He tried not to make a big deal about it. That always annoyed Lars anyway. He ripped off a blank piece of the receipt and grabbed a pen that lay on the counter, writing down his number.

"Here. Since you're at work, you can have my number and text me whenever you want. If you don't want to, that's totally fine. You just keep that and think about it. Well, I gotta go now. See ya, Max!" He waved and grabbed his movies, taking them out to his home to watch them.

"Oh okay! Hold on.." He pulled out his wallet and fished through it, holding out a ten dollar bill and putting it on the counter. Then he grabbed out three quarts and two nickels, placing those on the counter as well.

"There ya go." He noticed this guy sort of acted like Lars, but he didn't let him discourage him from making a new friend. "Uh, well thank you. People don't really come here that much. Do you think maybe we could try and become friends?"

The Cynic and the Optimist

@camp-camp-max-roleplay Steven whistles as he walks about town, looking around at all the new stores that had popped out over the years. It was Halloween, so he was really looking forward to see some old, cheesy horror movies. He couldn't really handle the modern ones though because they always scared him too much. So, he walked into the video store and looked around at all the dvd's he could rent. He picked up nightmare on elm street, child's play, and Friday the 13th. He then walked up to the counter and placed them down. "Hi, I'd like to rent these please. How much do I owe?" He looked the male over and widened his eyes. "Wait, hang on a sec. I don't remember seeing you here before? My name is Steven. What's yours?"

The Three Laws of Fandom

If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.

If you aren’t able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.

Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.

The First Law of Fandom

Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)

It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.

There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.

The Second Law of Fandom

Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)

Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. It’s not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. It’s not up to you to police fandom. 

If you don’t like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking.  

But you have no right to say to any creator “I do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.”

It’s not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. That’s censorship. Don’t do it.

The Third Law of Fandom

Ship And Let Ship (SALS)

Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.

It’s not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.

You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.

It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.

These three laws add up to the following:

You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasn’t to your taste. That’s the height of bad manners.

Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.
