The whole "First ten pictures when you open Pinterest is your asthetic" thing cane up between me and my friend.

She showed me hers and it's literally the most perfect fucking cottage core fashionista fantasy gay thing every + cats and I'm just here with a post about Samcifer as the first thing I see this is why we don't talk about my asthetic.

Nowhere is "you made up a guy to get mad at" stronger than assuming "people in a group i'm not a part of are all hypocrites for [doing whatever the current fandom discourse is] and also i assume [not doing a good thing]"

take a step back and take a deep breath. please.

weak: “these two canonically asshole characters with tragic childhoods are ACTUALLY SUCH A HEALTHY SHIP you guys, they’re so similar, they’re so sweet; they do jerkass shit but nothing bad that happens to them is EVER their fault; despite them constantly antagonizing each other in canon i think THEY TRUST EACH OTHER; they constantly miscommunicate in canon but i think they can learn to LOVE THEIR DIFFERENCES; this ship is THE DEFINITION OF A HEALTHY SHIP sdkjsfs”

me: “haha trainwreck ship go boom”

Don’t get me wrong, fanworks where their relationship is healthy are great & I love those too, but uhhhhh I think you missed something when you insist the definition of this ship is “healthy”

So I’m writing FullMetal Alchemist fic and you know that bit of the Amestrian military uniform? The dangly bit that hangs from the waist? Today I learned the fandom calls this a butt-cape.

I can’t call it a butt-cape. This is a relatively serious story. I can’t use the term “butt-cape” unless it’s someone making fun of the uniform. There is no actual real-world word for this part of the uniform because there is no real-world equivalent for that part of the uniform.

this “there was a second shooter in Coda” theory is the “there are dead people inside Companion Cubes” of the TWD/TD fandom, isn’t it?

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I have zero interest in climbing aboard the Ochiai Hate Train.

I don’t like him, he’s definitely a despicable person, and I don’t really want to to defend him though I do think he raises some valid points, is necessary for the story, and by the end of part 1 at least he becomes tolerable/neutral.

But I just don’t hate him at all and the huge raging hate boner fandom has for him is just...

Massive amounts of negativity even for a character I don’t care for is not fun to see. And I could live without the rape threats, let’s leave it at that.

Also today I learned Miyuki haters are a thing which I can’t even comprehend. Especially when the rationale is “how dare he take the spotlight away from Eijun.”

???????????

Like okay I think the Furuya hate is stupid but I can at least see where that comes from in terms of pitting him against Eijun.

But Miyuki is the whole reason Eijun came to Seidou??? Miyuki changed his entire world? EIJUN REALLY WANTS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY HIM???? THEY’RE PARTNERS??????

I adore Eijun and I’m happy that he’s well-loved -- frankly I expected people to hate him more since he can be so obnoxious -- but I flat-out can’t understand this level of obsessive fanning, nor do I want to understand. It’s overly defensive to the point of being unnecessarily hostile.

Ugh, fandom today.

I want to cheer myself up by reading MiSawa porn but there’s nothing new to read. This is such a frequent dilemma.

I hope all these people not wanting fanon or canon to change a character’s sexuality are buying or thinking of buying Midnighter, the first full fledged ongoing with an openly and unapologetically gay man from DC or Marvel.
