Fandom, like most social things, tends to go in circles and cycles. It is what it is, OP, but I get your frustration.

ngl hearing someone go 'omg 4 whole years' in a community that's existed since 2007 made me lol

Boreanaz has one of those faces that invites a slap. It's a combination of the smug and the brow ridges.

That said, Angel's constant pity party on Buffy was exhausting. Angelus might have been a bit of a cartoon villain at times, but at least he had fun with it.

It just becomes hard to find a fandom space. Reddit is full to the brim with unfunny memelords, dreamwidth doesn't have the fandoms I like nor the stuff I like to do, and like hell I'd touch Twitter with a 10 foot pole.

I just want to talk about theories, storytelling, and non-shipping fanfiction. But I'm learning that the bigger a fandom is, the worse it is. And even if it is small, they may focus on the wrong stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm only still on Tumblr because of fandom stuff, but that's mainly seeing fanworks, memes and getting notifications for things happening - I don't really talk to anyone on there. I feel so sad about how far Deviantart has fallen in fandom spaces because I was most active on there before it eventually dwindled down to near nothing.
Discord sounds terrifying to me tbh - I don't think I could keep up with it.

Be the change you want to see! Discussion topics, icon competitions, fic challenges, rereads/watches...I was in an old and fairly quiet community and one of the mods suddenly started doing this and it was amazing what a difference it made actually talking about the canon.

I've recently gotten back into fandom circles and man, I feel this. One drama circle closes, and then another opens, then that ends and we somehow end back at the first. It's tiresome.

It is because at that time the actor's head was too small for his shoulders. Change my mind.

[philstar22]

I don't hate him, but I've grown to dislike him more every time I rewatch. For me it is that he's arrogant and self-focused even when he's doing the right thing. And he's just dull. Honestly I love Angelus and wish that we'd gotten less of Angel and more of Angelus.

That being said, I still ship all combos of Buffy/Angel/Spike and also all Fanged Four combos. Even though Angel bugs me a lot, he still has lots of chemistry with everyone.

[(Anonymous)]

I really dislike Boreanaz but I also prefer Angel to Buffy

I just vibe with it more

[tabaqui]

Yeah. Angel was interesting and had his moments, but omfg, his woe is me crap was tedious and stultifying, and Angelus was so over-the-top 'evil' that he was laughable (to me).

I only like the character in bits and bobs, but really really really disliked him with Buffy. He was actually sweet and kinda sympathetic with Cordelia.

[(Anonymous)]

What neck though? Not like he has much of one.

I mean, if it's any consolation, they only wrote one book together. So however good the collaboration, they still went back to doing their own stuff afterwards....

I come at this from both sides. On the one hand, there are some fics I remember that I really wish were still online. But on the other hand, as an author, my early fics were terrible, and I'm glad they aren't online to embarrass me anymore. Not that anyone wants to read my old fics, because no one does. But I understand why better authors still want to remove their stuff.

So, while I wish those fics I remember were still online, ultimately I get why authors take fics away. Even orphaned, they are still online to make you feel embarrassed, and it is totally possible that it could be traced back to you somehow.

I personally find parasocial relationships kinda weird. But I also think it doesn't really matter what we think about them. Parasocial relationships and influences are the future of culture whether we like it or not.

I don’t think they’re always a total failure… sometimes the word changes are cute, and a few of the audience folks have great voices… but they definitely need to trim it down to one or two lines max. Letting them do a whole-ass song, or dreadfully two people in a row getting to sing, is just as you say. Luckily when it’s going to be a bad one, the 30-second-skip saves the day.

worldbuilding

[philstar22]

What are some pieces of media that you think have great worldbuilding, and what do you love about it? Can be tv show, movie, book, video game, comic, whatever.

And what sorts of things do you look for in worldbuilding in general, or what sorts of worlds are an automatic draw for you?
