Sounds like you're letting it get to you too much. Unless we're talking about the kind of BNF who organizes harassment campaigns on people who have a different perspective on the characters they like, there's really no reason why you shouldn't publish your own fic and ignore the BNF. You might even attract like-minded people who also dislike the BNF and are game to vent about them in private.

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of getting a "The problem might be you" vibe from this one. Or maybe a "Yes they're annoying but you have misanthropic tendencies" vibe.

*shrug* Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you just have bad luck with fandoms.

Anon...

Just post your stuff. It's yours, your writting style and interpretation of characters is your own.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I've commented this before here, but whenever I post stories that arguable go against THE popular fan interpretations of certain characters, I get comments on my fics thanking me for going against the grain. I bet there are people out there who would like the perspective you bring to the table. (Or, putting it the salty way, there are probably other people who dislike the same BNFs you do.)

[meadowphoenix]

I mean, if they're "unfriendly" then why can't you avoid interacting with them? It kinda feels like you're afraid of interacting with fandom and you're using the BNFs as an excuse.

[(Anonymous)]

They're unfriendly? Oh dear. They're irritating? Hm. They have different takes? Oh hon, I think the problem is not, ah, external?

[(Anonymous)]

do your fandom platforms allow you to block other users? you could just block the bnfs. if it's ao3, there are codes you can use to hide certain people and their works (i don't have the codes but some other anon probably does).

i don't really see why you can't ignore them and post your contributions to the fandom. are you worried the bnfs will come harass you or leave negative comments? i imagine there are other people in the fandom who find the bnfs annoying or who would appreciate seeing new content.

[(Anonymous)]

You can post your stuff without interacting with fandom. That's what I do. I mean, I interact as far as replying to comments, but I don't read fic or look at art or join discussions for the one fandom I write in. The only thing I want to do is WRITE. It took me a while to be okay with that and not feel guilty for "not doing fandom right" (or, before that, to force myself to participate when I really didn't want to). There IS no right or wrong as far as what interests you and what doesn't. It just is what it is.

If you're afraid a BNF will leave nasty comments... well, I suppose they might. Plenty of assholes out there would rather be assholes than simply hit the back button. But the good comments more than make up for the bad, for me. You may be pleasantly surprised!

[(Anonymous)]

Have you interacted? Unless they were personally rude to you, I can't justify letting them live rentfree in your head like this. There are definitely people around my fandoms about whom I'm like, "Yeah, we would never get along," but then I just do my thing and don't talk to them.

[(Anonymous)]

My take is often different from fanon take, so I just pick and choose what stories to read and I just write, write, write my characters the way I like them. I usually get a pretty nice following in my fandoms bc guess what, there are usually other folks who disagree with fanon's standard interpretations.

Just ignore tumblr if it's ruining your muse, OP. I guarantee it will ruin your enjoyment of fandom.

These C-drama secrets are all from one person, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Early 20's for the lady is just about plausible, but definitely not for the guy(side tangent: but I think that's the dude who played Ka Suo in Ice Fantasy?), it's as bad as those US high school shows where the actors are all played by 30 year olds and it's glaring as hell, especially when the dudes have like 5 o'clock shadow you can see under the make-up. xD

I get it on one hand: child labor laws, but on the other... there's only so much belief I can suspend.

I've never been into real people shipping, but after recently finishing HIStory3: Trapped, I just can't get enough of these guys and their cute interactions. The fact that two of them are constantly "flirting" on IG isn't helping -_-

[Hitman]

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you so much, Secret Maker! I like the photo you chose too!

I think for those who don't know Sean Bean's character in Hitman, you may be missing out a bit on some context. Specifically the charisma, confidence, and guile that Mark Faba has. He's Sean Bean's ultimate form. He's finally unkillable, hahahahahah.

[Howl's Moving Castle]

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

In all the choruses of "the book was better!" I never hear people mention Howl's Moving Castle. Yes, the book is super weird and hard to adapt. Yes, the movie has a great aesthetic. But the movie made Sophie and Howl into such bland romantic leads!

I love that book!Sophie is stubborn even when she's wrong and ends up making things worse. I love that book!Howl starts as an actual self-centered jerk, not just a bit vain.

B!S I also hate the way movie!Sophie saves the day with the Power of Love. Sophie's role in the book ending is so much more satisfying to me.

[Labyrinth]

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I think Labyrinth would have been a much better movie if there had been more emphasis on the theme of growing up and less on crap like the Bog of Eternal Stench.

It could have still been a fun kids' movie and had a bit more of...
"the adult world is scary and dangerous"
"there's a time to let go of childish fantasies"
"you have to grow up, but you can still enjoy so-called childish things"
