the mortifying ordeal of being a Marvel fan

in want of good Steve Rogers content, and inevitably disappointed by fandom

you have a binder with 15 years worth of data about your experience as the Hulk, i have a binder with 15 years worth of data about Steve Rogers’ sexual history. we are not the same

AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY 2026, dir. Anthony & Joe Russo

Carefully dipping my toes back into fannish spaces after years of not having an hyper fixation and I can't tell if people have always been this spiteful and this parasocial or if I've been detoxificated.

One thing I'm sure of. I'll forever be grateful for:

a - curating my dash to perfection

b - never having thrown a tantrum on a strangers' blog for not sharing my opinion (kinda ties into point a but also to my parents not having raised an asshole with no self control)

c - having an overall positive/proactive outlook towards fandom in general

Not to say that people can't or shouldn't vent on their own blogs about things they are disappointed about, or that criticism doesn't deserve its rightful place in fandom, but when the only way engage with content consists of listing how much you dislike something, spitefully mocking said content and scolding people who enjoy things you don't, I feel like there should be at least one moment of self reflection before hitting the post button for the nth time.

Personally in the little spare time I have, I love to have a laugh, let my imagination run wild (and a lil bit raunchy, okay) and play in my little sandbox with my silly dolls. That made (makes) me happy.

I just find it sad how more and more people (again, in my perception), seem to forego this aspect of fandom in lieu of raining on everyone's parades all the damn time.

QUEEN CHARLOTTE & KING GEORGE III

(BRIDGERTON + QUEEN CHARLOTTE: A BRIDGERTON STORY)

Love is not a thing one is able or not able to do based on some magic. Some chemistry. That is for plays. Love is determination. Love is a choice one makes. You take someone in marriage, and you choose to love them. You do not give yourself any other option. Because marriage is difficult. Full of pains. And the life of a royal is lonely. So you grab someone, and you hang on. You love, and you love hard because if you do not, you are lost.

god and how FUCKED is it that the succession ultimately hinged on shiv’s choice, but it was actually no choice at all. your brother (empty husk groomed for power his whole life) or your husband (empty husk who craved power his whole life). for five minutes she had the most power in the room, but it was actually nothing.
