#sc fandom

[mostlyinthemorning]

Hi! I’m new here and 10 years late to this fandom. I just wanted to say Hi and thank you for all the posts :) I would love to connect with more fans. Is there some kind of community out there?

Hello you!

We do have a small community here on tumbler at https://www.tumblr.com/communities/schitts-creek-fandom

If you'd like to join, just send me a DM and I'll get you an invite code. (Same goes for anyone else who'd like to join but didn't know how to ask.)

Day 2

For day 2 of the 12 days of Fandom, I want to thank @flowertrigger for their entertaining and gut wrenching All Time Favorite Patrick Brewer Episode poll bracket where we were forced to make terrible choices and cry when our favorites lost. It was lots of fun and I'm sorry we all (affectionately) yelled at you in the comments.

Day 7 of 12 Days of Fandom

Today I want to spotlight creators who have the courage to post their works, especially ones who struggle with writer's block, crippling self-doubt, and imposter syndrome.

Thank you for pushing through those feelings and making those works public. Thank you for giving us something to help us escape the real world, even if it is just for a few minutes a day.

Someone will read, look, or listen to your work. Someone will like it enough to leave kudos or even comment. Someone appreciates what you do.

Thank you!!

There were so many wonderful D&P fics written this year—it was a daunting task to narrow it down to my top 12! I guess that’s why it’s called a challenge 🖤💙. So, in no particular order…

Day 1 of 12:

As a SC fan I am ashamed of some stans who ship M**/K****, post memes about hux***

I tried to point out what they are doing is disturbing and they told me 'It's just a joke', I replied them I don't see that as a joke and it's not funny, it's disgusting and creepy. But they responded by saying 'I am a weirdo and I should go out, touch some grass, should learn how biology works' trust me there are few more SC stans and Katie stans pointed that they should learn to separate fiction from reality. They aren't listening to anyone and only attack, bully who points out their weird behavior. Frankly they are having a blast by shipping them together and celebrate it is such some sort of achievement when your Fandom 'Posts their tweets in Tumblr'

I just want you to know that not all SCs encourage their behavior and some of them are afraid to call out their behavior because they don't want to be bullied. Cause trust me those who ship them together are none but group of bullies.

I mean, I know there are/were scs like you, I know the fandom is not made only by idiots like them. And yes, I know I generalize your fandom and put you all to one box and I'm not objective. It's just hard to see the difference when mostly I interact with the idiots and mostly see the negative stuff created by toxicorps (when I say toxicorps, I mean the idiots, not the whole sc fandom).

You know, I was thnking about it a lot - could we somehow stopped this shit before it escaled so much? That we are now in a fandom that is almost proud of sending death threats to actors and bullying them so much they left the social media?

I think we might have missed opportunity in the beginning, when the shit started to escalate. Maybe too little people called the shit out and were not supported by others? And ended bullied away. I remember some scs who were calling out the cross taggers in s2 - they lasted for a few days, because the idiots were that nasty and their typical method is coming after people as a crowd, to overhelm them. They still do that on twitter. And when you are alone with it, then yes, you end overhelmed by shit.

And then, there is the one important point aka people are in fandoms to enjoy the content. Basically, to ENJOY the good things, not drown in shit, negative posts, nasty stuff and butthurt of the others. Fandoms are and should be our escape. So I get that a lot of normal fans don't want to touch the shit, get bullied and just block and mute the idiots. I seriously fucking get it. After all, the person behind the screen deals with shit, anxiety, mental problems, horrible stuff or simply exhausted from real life problems. And just don't have enough strenght to deal with idiots online too. And I can't judge that.

Just in the ideal world, whole fandom would simply block and ban the so called ugly minorities, not carrying about who ships who. But well, for sure it's not ideal world and we have a fandom ruled by a horde of fucking idiots who don't see the differene between fiction and reality.

Anyway, it's just fucking annoying and sad and I'm glad there are only 12 eps left and we are going to be free from this nightmare.

And the last thing: thank you for sending your message, I really appreciate it and it means a lot. It's good to get a reminder that I don't see the entire picture. I know I may sound like I hate all of you, but it is generalization, I know, as I said it's hard to me to stay objective when mostly I talk to and I'm harassed by the toxicorps. The scs who just enjoy their ship are usually not on my horizon. Maybe because I have a really bad reputation among you xD What is my fault but damn, sometimes I would really want to talk with random sc shipper and just moan about the show.

Anyway, thanks again. Stay safe :)

An Open Letter to an author on ao3

I thought about commenting on your fic on ao3, but I decided I had too much to say and you probably wouldn’t care anyway, but here goes.

I want to start this off by saying before you get all mad that I “shouldn’t have read it if I didn’t like it”, I just wanted you to know you don’t have to worry. I didn’t read it. But the fact that a fic of that nature even exists honestly repulses me.

I could understand writing a fic about cancer if you were working through your own pain of dealing with it yourself or with a family member. And if that’s your case, then I apologize only slightly for what I’m about to say.

Happy gay couples in media come ever so infrequently. They are practically nonexistent so I do not for the life of me understand why you would kill off a character who finally gets to live his gay, gay life with his fiance. You mentioned you were working through the pain of another fictional character, but I cannot for the life of me understand why you would kill off a gay man. That trope is so tired.

But it’s more than just that for me. This fic feels personal. I have a brother who has cancer and so to see cancer being used as a device, a plotline in a story where you just kill someone off because you “wanted to see more angst in a tag full of happy stories” absolutely repulses me. And the line in your notes at the very end where you talked about how you realized David was “newly whole” because of Patrick and you wanted to write this fic to show that “was growing and relying on himself just how Patrick taught him” makes me angry. A person can still be growing, they are growing, every single day. They don’t need the trauma of a death to prove that. There are many stories you could have chosen to write that would have conveyed that message just fine.

And while it may have been fun for you to write a cancer story, you need to realize that THIS IS MY LIFE. IT AFFECTS ME EVERY DAY. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR NOW, I HAVE WATCHED MY BROTHER SUFFER. IT’S NOT FUNNY. IT’S  NOT CUTE. IT’S TRAUMATIC. IT’S SHITTY. AND IT HAPPENS TO WAY MORE PEOPLE THAN IT SHOULD.

You probably don’t care about what I have to say and that’s fine, but I need you to know that it was fucked up of you to release a highly triggering story and go so long without tagging it. It’s not about “not spoiling the ending”, it’s about people’s safety and stability and whether they can feel like they can read safely read something or not. I have spoken with many people who were upset about your lack of tags from the beginning. You finally did tag, and that’s good, but it was too late. You should have tagged from the beginning. I, like many others, refuse to read Major Character Death because it’s too painful.

I love angst. I really do. I think there’s a lot you can do with angst, but I also think you took it too far.

Thanks for listening, I guess.
