So, in a blank moment my mind blessed me with this scenario:

Loki is fighting above Elbaf, above the sea, in his dragon form. He is hit by his enemy (Imu?) and fell into the sea, but while he is drowning because of his powers, the last thing he sees is a figure swiftly swimming towards him. It's Shirahoshi! That takes him back to the surface, saving his life. Meanwhile Rufy continues the fight alone, while the two watch the outcome together...

Hi fellow critters! This july I will be in Berlin for the live show. My partner and I will take a trip together in the city, but I will be alone at the show itself. Is there any Discord server to organize and meet up? (I do not have access to Beacon). It would be nice to have someone to chat with while go or being there! If you're attending or you know about some kind of arrangement, feel free to send me a dm. Thank you!

[dramaticwriter]

yeah

[the-oncoming-nightingale]

Science, art and humanities aren't separate subjects at all. Science is not cold, science is poetry because it's life.

I just saw Blitzø get called Stolas stockholm victim I can't with this fandom anymore😭

😂 As outrageously incorrect and stupid as that take is, I'm going to go on a tangent here. I hope you don't mind.

I think every fandom has annoying people with awfully terrible takes in it. People with zero media literacy. People who hatewatch. People who think they're entitled to the exact show they would've wanted, which has nothing to do with the actual, existing show.

This is especially true for queer media, and especially true for queer cartoons. (Hi, yes. I was active in the Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Voltron, and She-Ra fandoms when those shows were airing, respectively. I've seen some stuff). Some people just can't handle queer cartoons, period. If the queer characters/ships are soft and wholesome, they're infantilising and boring, and if they're complex and nuanced and actually have conflict, they're abusive and problematic. You'll hear the same recycled arguments over and over again. Like, the shit some people are saying about Blitz and Stolas after The Full Moon? Is literally almost word-for-word what they said about Catra and Adora post-season 3 of She-Ra (and even at the end of the show).

Here's the thing, though! Those people and their bad takes are not what I want to think about what I think about a fandom. Those aren't the people I want to call the fans. They don't deserve that title. Not when so many other people are out there dedicating their time to making gifs and art and meta posts, and writing fic, and commenting/reblogging to show support, and sliding into people's DMs to scream and squee together about a thing they love.

At the end of the day, "fandom" is just a lot of people each doing their own thing. Which people you engage with and allow to stay within your line of sight will determine your fandom experience. Fandom can be a huge, convoluted, online space full of people who are constantly arguing with one another and whose takes make you unfathomably angry... Or it can be you and your 5 friends and mutuals who scream gleefully at one another in 2-note posts. You can't control what others post online, but you can control your engagement with it.

How? Well, here's what I personally do to avoid getting upset by people's stupid opinions online:

Filter 'critical' and 'anti' tags (eg. #anti stolitz #anti vivziepop #Helluva Boss critical #HB critical #vivziepop critical). Many people actually do tag their critical posts because they know it's the respectful thing to do!

If I come across a post that has one or more of those tags, obviously, I don't click through to see it under any circumstances.

If I stumble across a stranger's untagged post with hate/criticism that upsets me: I stop reading and BLOCK. Immediately. I don't look back. I don't finish reading. I don't engage. I just block block block. I <3 the block button, seriously.

If I feel my mind reeling from a bad take I just came across: I take a step back, close my phone, breathe, remember life is beautiful sometimes. Go back and watch an episode I really like. Clean my living space a little. Vent about it to a friend (but only if I really need to, because if not, I'd rather not dwell on it).

If I'm starting to feel the need to reply to someone's bad take (directly or via my own post), I instead make the decision to channel that energy into making fandom posts out of love. (I don't do this just with fandom. If I see something transphobic online, I usually react by reblogging a bunch of trans art or trans positivity posts on my main, for example). I like to think of it as putting some positivity out into the world to compensate for the negativity I just saw. So, for example, if I see someone shitting on my blorbo, I may make a silly post just saying how much I love blorbo. Or I'll make (or draft) a post about how interesting I find some of blorbo's actions. Or reblog another person's positive/interesting post about blorbo.

And finally, I stay the hell away from Twitter. Or at least, if I go on Twitter, I try my best to avoid any tweet that has text in it instead of just art. Even the people who have good opinions spend too much time arguing with the people who have bad opinions on there. I don't want to see people's bad takes! No, not even while reading founded and perfectly articulated criticism of those bad takes! So I just limit my time on Twitter. And again, if someone is putting bad takes on my TL (even if it is to counter them), I unfollow and block as needed.

All this to say, yes, it really fucking sucks to read the opinions of people who don't understand and who hate the characters and ships and worlds you love. Gosh it's the worst. But you can curate your fandom experience. You can focus on the things you can control. You have the power to decide if your fandom experience is draining or fun!

And because I don't know how to finish this, here, have a Stolitz kiss to heal you:

We will keep winning and there's nothing the haters can do about it. 😌

It is so us.

[the-oncoming-nightingale]

I love this man

[lemontongues]

shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡

[the-oncoming-nightingale]

This is so precious

[actual-changeling]

long haired crowley this, duke of hell crowley that, i think the only correct option to hope for is crowley in a kilt:

post-divorce outfit slay that has aziraphale rattling heaven's bars to get back down while we are all having collective aneurysms

[the-oncoming-nightingale]

Yes.

[ineffableteeth]

The only two times we saw Crowley kissing something/someone was when he was losing them

[queer-reader-07]

ok so i'm crying now

[nicolegmattos]

Just in case you were feeling happy today 🥲

[applerums]

contact.

[the-oncoming-nightingale]

Love this

[piniatafullofblood]

good omens is so funny to me because they were there the entire time. You could say some shit like “oh Aziraphale was Oscar wildes gay awakening” “oh Crowley was besties with Freddie mercury and good old fashioned lover boy is about Aziraphale” or “oh Crowley threw the first brick at stonewall” or “Aziraphale invented paper” or “oh Crowley stole a bunch of books from the library of Alexandria while it was burning” and no one can prove you wrong.

like. sure why not

[waitingforthesunrise]

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

[shadesofecclescakes]

Just wanted to say thanks for the flower and juice boxes to all my mutuals and everyone in this fandom I've ever interacted with.

I love it here.

[the-oncoming-nightingale]

This is so pure. Agree with all

From Eden - a Good Omens poem

I was reading pride and prejudice and came to a particularly exciting bit and had to take a break, so here's another blackout poem :)) also a lil hozier reference for you all :)

Crawly stared at the angel.

His hands looked so cold,

And he thought

"If you come back to me,

I'm not sure

I can do the right thing

and look away."

-

We're still at the very beginning of the book, im thinking of making a kinda story about them with the blackout poems from the book in chronological order idk if this makes sense hahah but like the further along i am in the book the further the story progresses does this make any sense??

Reblogs and comments are always appreciated!💙
