I know discourse is the word of choice in fandom nowadays but I kind of wish we would have stuck with “fandom wank” because it carries the implication that the anger involved culminated into effectively nothing and that the act was wholeheartedly masturbatory in nature rather than for any greater cause.

I saw this post about an hour after I saw a post that said, essentially, “There should be a word for that thing where [exactly describes ‘squeeing’].”

I feel like the time has come to produce something like this:

[transformativeworks]

[naknaknakadile]

@vergess

[vergess]

Squee: The noise you make when something is so good that all you can really do is squeak or squeal. A high pitched sound of delight, often accomanied by hugging yourself or others.

Squick: A fic/art/concept/topic that is repellent to you, so you reject association with it and instead retreat to your personal comfortable spaces- all the while remembering that someone else’s comfort is not your own.

YKINMKATO: Also called “kink tomato.” Abbreviation meaning “your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay.” Used to explain why you are rejecting art or fic brought to you by someone else. A solid mantra to recall instead of sending flames in people’s comments

Flames: The comment equivalent of anon hate.

AMV: “animated music video” or “anime music video.” Often, this is stylized to fit a specific fandom, such as a “PMV” (pony music video) in my little pony. May also be referred to as a lyricstuck.

Filk: Combination of the words “film” and “folk,” this is a music genre, to which “fan songs” and “fan parody covers” belong. If you don’t really understand what this means, take a quick listen to American Pie, then compare Weird Al Yankovic’s Saga Begins

BNF: Big name fan. You know that one person who is just so fuckign popular in your fandom? Their art is always on your dash, everyone knows their fics? Being spoken to directly by them is basically being noticed by everyone ever’s senpai? That’s what these people are called.

DL:DR; Not unliked the teal deer (tl;dr, or “too long, didn’t read”), DLDR means “don’t like? Don’t read!” It’s a reminder that you are under no obligation, ever, to expose yourself to uncomfortable (or, squicky), or potentially harmful (or, triggering), material. Not ever. If you don’t actively like something? It’s not worth your time. Skip it.

Gen: or “genfic” “genart” etc. Fan works which contain no or very little romantic content. Often these are styled after the canon material, and may be called “episodic” ro “slice of life” in addition. 

Lemon: Work containing strong pornographic elements

Lime, or Citrus: Work containing mild or implicit pornographic elements

Sockpuppeting: The surprisingly common scenario of someone making a bunch of fake accounts/sideblogs to send themselves reviews or hate, to try to increase views or drama surrounding a work. The accounts they make are called Sockpuppets. 

WAFF: Warm and fluffy feelings. A genre of fic that exists just to be therapeutically sweet. Nowadays, usually just called “fluffy.”

Schmoop: Take WAFF and somehow make it even more syrupy. You’ll know it when you see it.

Whump: Imagine if you will, a hurt-comfort fic. The comfort might be considered WAFF. The hurt? That’s the whump.

Wapanese: When white autors pepper their anime fanfic with random, tonally inappropriate japanese words. 

Anthropomorfic: Nowadays we just call these “humanstuck” or “humanized AU.”

Wank: Wildly disproportionate drama that crops up because someone wrote/drew/did something that someone else didn’t like. Seriously, I cannot begin to express the fiascos that have come about from all this. Just… Just go look at this.

 Plot bunny: Story ideas that you probably won’t ever actually deal with, but that multiply entirely out of control, creating huge worlds in your head that you’re probably not going to write. But hey! You might! And until then they make great sideblogs/askblogs/tumblr posts.

Casefic: Fanfics that try to create an episode-like feel for procedural and crime dramas, moster of the week shows, etc.

Jossed: When popular fan theories and fanon are addressed in the canon of a series, and whoops, turns out we were all very, very wrong.

Kripked: When popular fan theories and fanon are addressed in the canon of a show and, hot damn, we fucking called it.

Secret Masters: The people who run the websites/ communities/etc that we all do our fanning on. Less relevant now that we have things like tumblr, but when everyone had to run their own archival and social sites for each fandom, it was more important to pay our respects to the strange and powerful beings that brought us all together and gave us our fannish homes. Think the staff of AO3, for example.

Bashing: When a writer purposefully writes a specific character as a horrible, horrible person so that they can throw them out of the storyline, usually to allow their OTP to get together without trouble. Distinct from fridging in that it doesn’t require the character to die, but rather to be such a screaming harpy that they get rightfully removed from the main characters’ lives for being an abusive hell beast. Generally, a type of character hate. Be wary of people who bash women, queer people, and POC with consistency: they are not safe to be around.

[ryttu3k]

‘Squick’ also has an alternate horrible meaning for Harry Potter fans who were in fandom a while back. Dear god.

[callmearcturus]

Drabble: A fic that is EXACTLY 100 words. Often used as a creative exercise in telling a story in a very small constraint.

Ficlet: Fic that clocks in somewhere between 100 to 2.5K words.

Crossover: A piece of media in which two or more source materials are treated as the same universe. Characters from Fandom A can meet characters from Fandom B. (The Doctor Goes To Hogwarts And Meet Harry Potter!)

Fusion: A fusion takes the characters of one source material and *surplants* them into another universe entirely. Characters from Fandom A cannot meet characters from Fandom B. (Dave Strider is part of an Inception team!)

TPTB: The Powers That Be. Almost always redundantly referred to as “the TPTB.” A collective term for showrunners, actors, producers, writers, et al, anyone who is part of the team that creates the source material.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary. A shorthand way of saying “this is how I see it/have experienced it though I realize others might have a different perspective.”

Tinhatting: Often used in RPF fandoms, the situation where some fans are convinced two celebrities are in a relationship but its being kept a secret.

我读三千遍你 (Wǒ dòu sān qiān biàn nǐ) - Lyric Translation

我邂逅一道题， Wǒ xièhòu yīdào tí I met with a question 

若要拟个比喻， Ruò yào nǐ gè bǐyù, To draw up a metaphor 

是天涯边的雪未染泥， Shì tiānyá biān de xuě wèi rǎn ní, It’s the untainted snow on the horizon     

或未溅红尘的一片云， Huò wèi jiàn hóngchén de yīpiàn yún, Or a cloud without splashed red dust 

你是我一道题一场游戏， Nǐ shì wǒ yīdào tí yī chǎng yóuxì, You are a game for me 

我识你，读你， Wǒ shì nǐ, dòu nǐ, I know you, read you 

想沾染了你。 Xiǎng zhānrǎnle nǐ Want to taint you 

刃锋见血如何还无瑕干净？ Rèn fēng jiàn xiě rúhé hái wúxiá gānjìng? How does a blood-stained blade remain flawless and clean? 

泪淌过心怎会不烙个疤印？ Lèi tǎngguò xīn zěn huì bù lào gè bā yìn? How can tears flow through the heart without leaving a scar?

读不懂你， Dòu bù dǒng nǐ, I can’t read you 

读不懂那血口獠牙的恶意， Dòu bù dǒng nà xuè kǒu liáo yá de èyì, Can’t understand the malice of the bloody mouth and fangs 

怎未吞噬你怀中温柔天地？*** Zěn wèi tūnshì nǐ huái zhōng wēnróu tiāndì? Why haven’t you embraced the gentle world in your arms?

你不似雪也不像云， Nǐ bù shì xuě yě bù xiàng yún, You don’t resemble snow nor clouds 

或许是月色一隅， Huòxǔ shì yuè sè yīyú Maybe like a corner of moonlight 

万世尘垢也不能染你。 Wànshì chéngòu yě bùnéng rǎn nǐ. No dirt in this world can taint you either. 

你是不解的谜， Nǐ shì bù jiě de mí, You’re a mystery 

我读三千遍你， Wǒ dòu sān qiān biàn nǐ, I’ve read you 3000 times

每一遍我都更加着迷。 Měi yībiàn wǒ dū gèngjiā zháomí. Each time I become more captivated 

若恨填满我骨血缝隙， Ruò hèn tián mǎn wǒ gǔxuè fèngxì, If hatred fills the gap between my bones and blood, 

只要还余分寸凉薄爱意， Zhǐyào hái yúfēn cùn liáng báo' àiyì, As long as there's still a little bit of cold love left,

都用来读你， Dōu yòng lái dòu nǐ, It’ll be used to read you 

读三千遍你。 Dòu sānqiān biàn nǐ. Read you 3000 times

明知道解不开这一道谜题， Míng zhīdào jiě bù kāi zhè yīdào mí tí, Knowing that this mystery cannot be solved, 

我却还忍不住读三千遍你， Wǒ què hái rěn bù zhù Dòu sānqiān biàn nǐ, I can't help reading you three thousand times. 

读不懂你， Dòu bù dǒng nǐ, I can’t read you

读不懂那血口獠牙的恶意， Dòu bù dǒng nà xuè kǒu liáo yá de èyì, Can’t understand the malice of the bloody mouth and fangs 

怎未吞噬你怀中温柔天地？ Zěn wèi tūnshì nǐ huái zhōng wēnróu tiāndì? Why haven’t you embraced the gentle world in your arms? 

你不似雪也不像云， Nǐ bù shì xuě yě bù xiàng yún, You don’t resemble snow nor clouds 

或许是月色一隅， Huòxǔ shì yuè sè yīyú, Maybe like a corner of moonlight 

万世尘垢也不能染你。 Wànshì chéngòu yě bùnéng rǎn nǐ. No dirt in this world can taint you either. 

解脱无期。 Jiětuō wúqí. Freedom is indefinite 

你对草木人间是那么多情， Nǐ duì cǎomù rénjiān shì nàme duōqíng, You have so much affection towards flora and the world 

所以向风花雪月 难分寸许。 Suǒyǐ xiàng fēnghuāxuěyuè nán fēncùn xǔ So it’s hard to distinguish the romance

可我既然沉迷于你， Kě wǒ jìrán chénmí yú nǐ, But since I am addicted to you, 

便守你温柔天地， Biàn shǒu nǐ wēnróu tiāndì, Keep your gentle world, 

也守着分给我的无情。 Yě shǒu zhuó fēn gěi wǒ de wúqíng Also retain the mercilessness I’ve imparted

我第三千遍读你， Wǒ dì sānqiān biàn dòu nǐ, My third thousand time I’ve read you 

忽然读到你一句钟情。 Hūrán dòu dào nǐ yījù zhōngqíng. I’ve suddenly read a sentence of your love

T/N: 

天涯 (tiānyá) – the edge of the world/the remotest corner of the earth 红尘 (hóngchén) -红(red),  尘(dust) also means the secular/mundane world 怎未吞噬你怀中温柔天地？*** - 吞噬 (to swallow), 怀中 (space in front of one’s chest) 温柔 (gentle), 天地 (the world); unsure of how to translate this 风花雪月(fēnghuāxuěyuè) - a metaphor for romantic themes 

This is my first time translating and Chinese is not my first language so sorry if I made any mistakes. This is quite a rough translation so go on easy on me~

A Promise To Myself

I took a deep breath in as I prepared myself for the upcoming chorus. Ironically, despite singing it for years the chorus of the song Keranamu was always just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. The only word I truly sang my heart out -even if I sounded like a dying crow- was the word Keranamu.

‘Keranamu!’ I yelled at the top of my lungs and mumbled the part that came after the words.

'Terima Kasih Malaysia!!!’

Thus, the song ended with a bang, literally, as the Penolong Kanan and the Principal pulled the string to the huge party popper, spreading the confetti onto those nearest to the stage.

While others laughed and shrieked in delight, I was awkwardly quiet. There was this feeling of nostalgia as the principal greeted us again,reminding us of the spirit patriotism and wishing us luck for our upcoming preliminary exams.

It had dawned on me that it was my final year in secondary school and I would not get the chance to sing these songs and be silly with my friends anymore. The things that we can still get away with while in secondary school will be no more. All those memories will be kept locked in our hearts. 'Now, we will end the celebration with the song Satu Malaysia.’

I smiled at the announcement. My friends and I hooked our arms around our shoulders and sang as loud as we could. 'KITA SATU MALAYSIA!’

As it ended, I held back my tears as I burnt this scene of laughing friends and the whole school becoming truly One Malaysia. I laughed happily as I promised myself to never forget this memory.
