Why did I decide the THTM AU would be a comic again
white celebrities and their performative activism/white feminism is something that i shouldn’t be surprised but it just bothers me to the fucking core how they literally can get away with everything. they get toooo many jail free cards because what? they make good music and shit? choosing to be selective when it comes to empathy and refuses to use your platform to speak up about genocide when u know damn well one post could actually create a small shift. man, and you think you still deserve that activist title. i could name a lot right now tbh but yk i do not want to get attacked atm lmao
How are you feeling about the cancellation? I am d e p r e s s e d
Oh, anon, sending you hugs ❤️ I'm sad! Very sad but I can't really parse out the mush of emotions cause I'm also like......alright?
I dunno. Tbh it's mostly the fandom space and community and the joy I have here with everyone that I would be more aggrieved to lose.
Like if I had my Tumblr deleted and had no way to share this show and connect with you all? I know that would upset me more and alter my experience of the show hugely.
So then to me that tells me I just want to continue creating and being silly with my friends? And I do have lots of friends here. My fandom experience has luckily been nothing but joyful and lifted me on very dark days ever since i started being active over 2 years ago.
And I know people think fandoms change a lot after a show ends - and sure! It does quieten down! - but for me the things that I come here for are not solely connected to waiting for a show to come back on. I come here for fanfic, discussions, gifsets, analysis, silly edits, chats - these are not things I think have to change? But that's just me. I understand others are different.
I think about how I watched Black Sails for the first time last year and that show had a small but very passionate fanbase much like ours. When i dipped in to the tag, i saw new beautiful gifsets, new fanfic, friends interacting and making jokes, new engagement, and those people being lovely to me who stumbled in with brand new excitement. The show finished 4 years ago - but people are still having fun!
I think back to the two hiatuses I was here for and how much I loved those periods of time. And it wasn't just because of the promise of new content, I used to make dodgy lyric gifsets every day just because. Bad edits. Get excited over snippets of fanfic that we all go crazy for. Snuggle up every night with a fic series. I remember cancelling a yoga class when my fave fic updated and I just wanted to get home and read it. The stuff we make here is its own fabulous thing.
So this is a long winded way of saying I'm sad. I'll cry again. I'll probably cry a lot when it’s over. I’ll miss the theories and anticipation and Pepe Silvia madness over bts pics and the ‘anything could happen’ of there being a new season and the way the show has sort of been my constant through a long time of turmoil.
But when the show is over, it doesn't mean there is no new content to look forward to.
The content we can enjoy and look forward to just changes, that’s all. It becomes whatever we make. And this fandom makes fuckin gold.
So really, how lucky are we? ❤️
I feel dumb for not knowing, but if I can ask, what's a NFT?
okay umm i don’t know if i can explain it well
a NFT is like a “unique” digital item that you can buy and no one else can have the exact one you have, but the way that they are kept(i think its called a blockchain) uses a lot of power and is awful for the environment
it’s one of those things that people value for the false sense of scarcity (because you have the only one of that item) even though in reality they are just expensive jpegs
“DiNozzo! Get me $25,000.” “Check or plastic?” “Cash.” “On it.”
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP STUDGE'S DOG HAS BEEN FOUND
...i’m gonna make a phan blog but i can’t decide if I should make it a sideblog or make a totally different tumblr
There is SOOO much happening rn and it’s all good but im so overwhelmed by it.... After like basically 3 yrs of applying to things and trying and trying and getting nothing all the sudden EVERYTHING working out is kinda,,,, a lot... and idk what to do :(((
I got into art school in san francisco and I got free tuition for it so I can attend in the fall which is what i had really wanted to do but I'm so conflicted now... I HATE school here i hate the town im in and i hate being so close to home, but because of how much i hate it and bc of how slim i thought the chances of me transferring would be i set myself pretty nicely for next year? I have pros and cons of both...
pros
If I stay at the school i’m at next fall I'll have -a job -a car -I’ll be able to teach skiing in the winter (something i’ve always wanted to do) -no roommate + a nice apartment -i’ll be able to continue taking biology classes, which i love almost equally to art -the opportunity to go to the Galapagos
If I go to San Fran -i'll be able to be doing art in a city I love -i’ll finally be out of Hell Town -i’ll be able to experience new things and have new opportunities
cons
if i stay -i may not be as happy as i potentially could be? -i may be committing myself to an extra year once i transfer and end up spending 5 yrs in undergrad -what if i am miserable
if i go to San Fran -what if i hate it and am let down and then disappointed that im missing out on having a job and a car -i will be Committing to art and may not have the time/chance to do biology at all -nothing is certain (housing, jobs, classes etc) -i dont know if Just School can be enough for me, i think that was part of the reason i was so miserable this year, i just spent hours upon hours of sitting around doing nothing and having no friends
