What is the one thing you hate most about the fandom? go offfffff
Rin i love youuuuuu!!!
The thing I hate most about the fandom is easily how people treat Pangzi. I don't even know where to start explaining this to be fucking honest! There's SO. MUCH. I could write a whole essay on this. I’ve mentioned most of this before too but things haven’t really gotten better so...
The thing annoying me the most lately is the constant "*insert pangzi ship*'s friendship is sooo important to me" posts and remarks. Like no it isn't, you don't give a fuck about friendship you just don't ship them because you don't think Pangzi is shippable but cannot admit that? I literally see nobody mention friendship ever unless it's about a Pangzi ship? Everyone here will ship every single young skinny pretty character with any other character they just take a breath around, but Pangzi can quite literally confess his love to someone, kiss them, marry them and have sex with them On Screen and this entire fandom would still go: "their friendship is So Important to me :( just two Very Good Friends, only friendship going on here" besides why are you all out here pretending you can't have a good friendship with your significant other what the hell. Isn't it the dream to date your best friend?? I-... Like yeah Pangzi has very important and significant friendships and relationships but it's getting VERY transparent when the only time everyone goes 'FRIENDSHIP IS IMPORTANT AND JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ROMANCE' when it's about Pangzi.
The fact that people don't see him as desirable or shippable is also very obvious by how many fics I've already had to see where Pangzi is just a second choice. Characters date him but only because their first choice is dating someone else. It's so disgusting and he deserves so much better.
Everyone also goes out of their way to deny that the reason why they don't ship Pangzi with any of the characters is just fatphobia and him not being attractive enough for them to ever imagine anyone being in love with him. I've seen such ridiculous reasonings why people don't ship iron triangle ot3 for example, the reason being "pangzi liked piaopiao and yuncai and is therefore clearly a straight man" babygirl bisexual people exist and i've never seen a character more bisexual than wang pangzi.
Another thing I absolutely hate is how you will all ignore the one thing Pangzi is all about, which is being with the iron triangle, putting them first and always choosing them above everything (wu xie didn't give that fucking whole ass speech abt pangzi never leaving his side for nothing) and instead just going 'uhhh uuhhh yeah pangzi isn't here because uhhh he left us for reasons' so you don't have to deal with him when writing about your other little ships. (Suddenly the friendship isn't so important anymore huh...)
Also making Pangzi asexual so they can pretend their fic is iron triangle ot3 or even ot4, but this way we don't have to pretend characters think he's desirable or worthy of sleeping with and we can leave him out of the smut because he's ace and ace people don't have sex or can be sexy, right? Like I absolutely adore ace!pangzi hcs but jesus fuck once again TRANSPARENT AS FUCK and uh a bit aphobic if i may say so
Or people just solely focusing on moments where Pangzi messes up. If I have to read one more post describing the characters and it describes Pangzi as the one always getting them in trouble and clumsy and stupid I'm gonna stab myself in the eye, you're describing Wu Xie, not Pangzi. So many of you only see him as the silly fat man but he's so so so so so much more? He's so good at his job, he clocks danger early on so many times but everyone just ignores it (in ultimate note alone it happens several times in a few episodes), he's strong, an amazing fighter, he's smart, caring, funny, kind, loyal,... But it gets ignored because all everyone sees is 'funny fat man who also sometimes triggers a trap'
Prompt idea: I'm a concert master and you're the lead in the school musical. You like me a lot but I was rude to you and brushed you off. But now I regret it because I'm obsessed with your voice and I'm too embarrassed to apologize.
im so shook by someone sending an ask to this blog after probably a year. anyways here for my .2 followers
@smolnerdisms liked this for a The Phantom of the Opera!AU starter
Alexandria was already crying as she reached her dressing room. She let the door slam behind her, La Carlotta’s cruel words still ringing in her head as she sat down at the dressing table, tears trickling down her pale cheeks. Her head down on her crossed arms, she allowed herself to cry for a few moments, before attempting to pull herself together. Was the Prima Donna right? Did she really sound strained and simpering? As if trying to reassure herself, Alexandria began to sing, her sweet voice soaring through Faust’s ‘Jewel Song’.
