Confessions/secrets you can't be bothered to make

Fandom or not fandom.

I hate it when I'm late to a fandom. They are usually good for the first 1-3 years and after that it's just drama, infighting and coffee shop AUs.

Ain't that the truth. And by that point all the fic recs are coffee shop AUs too.

My issue is that I usually find them after the show is over. I wish people still discussed stuff, but apparently not?

The worst isn't when you missed the height of the action. The worst is when you get into a fandom (or back into a fandom) years later when a lot of the fan material has started disappearing offline. Like a lot of older fandom fics that used to be hosted on archives or LJ pages that are now deleted, so when you look at recs lists half the major fics are 404 links. Or the fanart used to be circulated on imageboards like anonib and those boards/threads don't exist nowadays and tracking down people with archives of the images is fucking impossible.

(I lost it years ago but I used to have an HD with thousands of pieces of FF7 fanart on it that I'd occasionally upload so other fans could have copies. I'm pretty sure a lot of those pieces that I had simply don't exist on the web anymore anywhere. It still breaks my heart that I lost it since it was like this awesome chunk of fandom history.)

I have trouble caring about the things half my lj/dw friends post. I don't know if it's that I can't find people with common interests or fandoms, or if I've outgrown online friendships. I want to be a good friend. I just don't know how when I'm not at all interested in most of what they talk about.

I don't know how people find friends with common interests on LJ anymore. It's such a small community and most of it RL posts.

In theory, I want to make friends beyond the two I already have but, in practice, it's just tiresome. I hate putting myself out there.

Hard same. It's exhausting to be the one giving your energy to someone who may or may not be worth it.

I hate spending money. I'm in my mid twenties and have 20k in savings but I have trouble justifying buying anything.

That's why you have 20K in savings. :)

I think we have it right and the people who need the latest everything are weird.

That's why you're going to better off than your friends when you all hit your 60's. ;-)

As long as you’re not depriving yourself of basics (nutritious tasty food, clean comfy clothes, shelter that feels like home, hobbies you enjoy, etc) saving money isn’t bad. But if you’re depriving yourself and it’s effecting your mental and/or physical health, that’s not good. Take care of yourself, okay?

If you can't justify it, then don't buy it.

One of my best friends is a guy, and I'm worried our friendship will suffer if one of us dates again. Not that it would end, but if he gets a girlfriend, will she be happy if we get drinks after work??

I know it's dumb.

I don't understand why Bates Motel has to be set in the modern era. People can process things taking place before 2013. That's why period dramas are popular.

I've never seen Bates Motel. Or Psycho. It's a totally unsolicited opinion.

The "love triangle" in The Hunger Games didn't bother me at all. I thought it was supposed to be contrived, clearly part of the games, not something Katniss really wanted. I was surprised to learn, years later, that Suzanne Collins had to put it in because her publishers wanted a love triangle. I thought fandom just missed the satire.

It seems like most of the Rumpelstiltskin and Belle/Rumple fandom thinks Robert Carlyle is hottest as Mr. Gold in his pricey suits, or Mr. Gold in Rumpelstiltskin’s leather. But for me, his most attractive iteration is snaggle-toothed, scaly, sparkly, bug-eyed Rumpelstiltskin. (But yes, the leather helps.)

Shadowhunters

(Anonymous) 2018-03-21 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
I just started watching the TV series, and can't believe that so many people say they prefer Harry Shum, Jr over Godfrey Gao as Magnus Bane.

I’m normally all about Beauty and the Beast/redemption via love stories, but there has to be something in it for the Beauty. I can’t see Reylo as a “(romantic) love redeems” story, because Kylo has no good qualities. He cares for no one, creates nothing, and has no sense of humor.

I'm so disappointed that it's Tessa Thompson in that sexy Janelle Monae music video because I find her really unattractive.

My sex life with my partner is really frustrating me right now - and I keep bouncing between writing all the smut as an outlet of my frustration and hating smut cause how come those characters get to get laid and not me.
