Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I am in a small fandom and into an even smaller ship

There's literally only two english-speaking people producing any kind of content for it, and one of them is me.
I follow the other one because how couldn't I? But I'm starting to grow resentful of
them. I just don't like their interpretation of the ship and characters' dynamic.
They heavily woobify the half of the ship I personally see as the more dominant one, and I honestly believe their interpretation is quite OOC, seeing as this character is actually pretty driven and charismatic in canon, whereas they portray it as an almost helpless, passive punching bag.

In any other circumstance I wouldn't care. That's their headcanon and if they are having fun it is none of my business... The problem is that because they have a larger following than me, their headcanons are bleeding over to other people who are into the
ship, and some of these shared fans now talk to me and engage with my stuff in a way that makes it clear they are on board with the other person's woobifical headcanons, and it is really starting to grind my gears.

The worst part is that their content contribution to this ship is replying to people messages about it, and half-baked posts "I had this plot bunny I will do nothing with", whereas I am the one sitting here actively writing fanfics and drawing art.
All of this just because they happen to have more numbers on that cursed followers counter.
I'm still having fun in my corner and will keep making my stuff as I better see fit, but I can't deny I am growing quite annoyed at people adopting their headcanons left, right and center. Ugh.

For the anon who thinks that people here love the Chinese government...

[(Anonymous)]

... nope. Enjoying cdramas =/= being a fan of the Chinese government. They're two separate things. Hope this makes you feel better? ;)

[(Anonymous)]

Hard same. Obviously it's going to be a hard pill to swallow that you still didn't make it back to your kid but Allison was just... I guess it felt like she only seemed to care how this new time wrinkle fucked with HER life and not anyone else's?

[(Anonymous)]

While I think there should have been more 'wait a minute; let's think this through' or even having one sibling go with Allison to find her kid -- it made sense on how it happened.

At that point they didn't realize they didn't have doubles (or have taken over their double's lives). They just knew they were never the Umbrella Academy. It was later that Five's discovers they were part of the Grandfather paradox.

Granted I think someone should have been like 'what are the actual odds non-power Allison/non-Academy based Allison would have married the same person and had the same child.'

[(Anonymous)]

And this is why I say that: those of you who don't consider people whom share headcanons, imagines, inserts, meta, memes, fanvideos, fanarts, etc. part of "fandom" are just wrong.
One doesn't have to write fic to participate in fandom and influence other people's headcanons (which in this day and age often means influencing canon too).

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if it was a unholy mixture of her own PTSD, whatever psychic damage Christopher gave her during that one attack, and her having started using her powers (after a year of not doing them). I feel like her powers have a sort of insidious addiction quality to them and her underlining trauma pushes that into a vicious cycle of making her meaner the more she uses it.

What are you reading?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm reading Dracula. Not sure I enjoy it.

What is the smallest fandom you are in?

Weekend Plans

[(Anonymous)]

It rained here! And dropped to below 100. It is amazing. So tomorrow I am going on a glorious walk. And the niblings will be home Sunday, so that is good.

Woops didn't realize I wasn't logged in on mobile. Hopefully I don't miss anyone's comment!

Re: What are you reading?

[(Anonymous)]

Ghouls in My Grave. It's a horror anthology and I'm really liking it.

Re: What are you reading?

[scissorsevered]

(replying to anon reading Dracula)

I read most of it about 2 years ago. The beginning was super strong but towards the middle it got SO BORING. I feel bad that I couldn't finish it but it was just becoming an impossible task.
