Wasted Potential

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by secret #7.

What's something that had a really good premise and yet it was the potentual was wasted or not explored properly? It could be a fanfic plot, the entire show/game/comic etc entire premise or just a episode or two. Hell, it could even be a character.

Stuff you're worried about with your own creative works?

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of inspired by secret one.

"it's just fandom"

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's possible to take fandom too seriously. People flipping out over ship wars or headcanon or whatever other inanity counts.

But... I hate when people say "lol it's just fandom" over things like stressing over art you owe for a fandom exchange. Like five people have told me "it's just fandom" like right, fandom totally has to do with how disappointed my exchange person is going to be if they get something crappy in return for the effort they put in, and it's just fandom so who cares about them. I don't understand this mentality.

The fact that these people tend to be the same ones that turn around and cry about how much of a bitch the mod of some fandom ficathon is because she was late with emails by one or two days, how dare she, pisses me off more. Apparently "it's just fandom" doesn't apply then.

How are things today?

[(Anonymous)]

What's the general mood outlook for today? Bad, good, neutral? (Or just the guy with the gun?)

[(Anonymous)]

"repeat after me:

there are white people suffering in the world

but the white people who are suffering are not suffering because they are white"

Yes, thank you person online for assuming the entire world is like America/Europe. Asia? Africa? What are those amiright?

Celebrity heights

It always surprises me how friggin' tall Taylor Swift is. 5'11" god damn girl.

So talk about how you felt when you found out your mancrush or whatever is actually a midget.

"Nevermind ___________."

[(Anonymous)]

If a friend is really rude to someone, is it gossip to privately apologize for them later on?

fandom auction

So if you win a lot can you request something specific?

It's starting today. Who's ready?

does "just ignore it" work for most people?

[diet_poison]

So my sister and I had a small fight, and afterwards (like after it was done, and I had already moved on) I got up to leave the room, and she made a bratty snipe to me as I was leaving.

I turned around and confronted her, wanting her to know that I wouldn't put up with it. My mom yelled at me to stop making it worse and just ignore it.

My question is this. Do most people stop being disrespectful if their disrespect is ignored? I feel that as a kid (and maybe even now) if I said something that was challenging or disrespectful to another person, I didn't want them to challenge me back - I wanted to "win", to be seen as the dominant party in the interaction or at least to be seen as an equal if that was fighting for, and for this to be acknowledged by the other person. Ignoring it would have just made me more angry and more likely to escalate the next time. When I was growing up, adults always said "just ignore it" and it didn't make any sense to me, because if bad behavior wasn't challenged, would it be stopped? And was my sister just trying to make me mad? Because I don't see any logic in that. They always say "they're just trying to get a rise out of you" and I have a hard time believing that people make other people upset just for fun, with no other goal in mind. It doesn't strike me as being very entertaining. I always assumed there was another motive.

If someone says something mean or rude and I ignore it and walk away, I feel like I'm slinking off with my tail between my legs. It makes me angry and sours whatever I'm trying to do next. My instinct is to defend myself and hold the mean person accountable, and it's always a snap decision. I think this is because I'm projecting my own motives onto other people, and I guess we all do this, but what I really want to know is: are my motives unusual, and are the people who say "just ignore it" usually right? And if so, what can I do to not feel like a loser when I walk away?

Anyone else have any similar experiences, or opposite experiences, or related stories/questions?

To the anon who doubted me

[(Anonymous)]

For the anon who doubted me on Secret 9 of this post:
http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1103380.html

About Missy's identity. Would you care to apologise now please. Because I was 100% dead on about "Missy" being the Master and Moffat trying to get transgendered regenerations into Doctor Who canon for good. I just hope this gets retconned soon. Fucking bullshit pandering to the SJWs.

Star Trek

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in a Trekkie kind of mood today. What's your favorite series?
Captain?
Friendship?
Episode?
Human character?
Alien character?
Alien species?

Murder Rooms stuff

[dreemyweird]

since there are, AFAIK, a few people on f!s who are into Murder Rooms but aren't on tumblr, I thought I'd just let you know that we've had a Murder Rooms week and so there's a whole lot of new content - in particular, meta and reviews.

http://thedarkbeginnings.tumblr.com/ is the place, and then there are the /meta and /reviews tags.

(frozen comment) How to get away with murder

[(Anonymous)]

Not that shitty show.

I want your plans fs. How would you get away with it.

Inb4 join the military or police.

Characters who get a disproportionate amount of sympathy or woobiefication

[(Anonymous)]

Are there any characters in your fandom like this? They might very well have legitimate sympathetic characteristics or a painful backstory but they get a huge amount of sympathy or focus from the fandom -- even compared to characters that have it way worse.

I was thinking about this because one thing that irritates me a bit about MCU fandom is just how often Tony Stark is cast in this role. I mean, the guy had a neglectful and distant father which is no small thing. But basically every other Avenger has a backstory that's ten times worse (except maybe Thor). So it kind of bugs me that the fandom coos over him so much. Not that he doesn't deserve sympathy -- just that it kind of stands out given how much he gets compared to others who have suffered comparatively more.

Not as bad as Loki though.

Anyone like this in your fandom?

Should I....

[(Anonymous)]

watch/read/play this? Post something you are thinking about watching/reading/playing and maybe a list of stuff you think you might like about it. And others can tell you whether it is worth watching/reading/playing.

Tumblr and XKit....

[tabaqui]

Hope I'm not way too late.... But the last time i update XKit, it basically fire-bombed FF and destroyed my bookmarks (yay for backups!)

I know XKit had some issues a few weeks ago - might it be safe to reinstall now?
*makes more backups*

(frozen comment) THAT'S IT!!
