“The phrase “sweet summer’s child” became a popular way of describing an innocent, naive person (especially among American writers) during the early Victorian era. It was used by a number of authors during the 1840s, notably Fredrika Bremer (1840), James Staunton Babcock (1849) in The West Wind and Mary Whitaker (1850) in The Creole. It has been used in a number of other novels, poems and speeches (especially by US authors) throughout the 20th century.”

When I first encountered the phrase, I had no idea where it was from. I did immediately recognise that it was dripping in smug patronising condescension though. So, maybe don't use it.

[(Anonymous)]

That Twitter thread is going around

[(Anonymous)]

Oh you sweet summer child, bless your heart. That phrase has been around a lot longer than GoT.

You know who’s always missing from this argument? The people who make the actual games and decide what audience they’re gonna sell to. If they decide they like the new guy’s money better than yours, then you stop giving them money and buy from people who still make what you want. Trying to drive off the new guy so the devs can only get your money is a pointless exercise in brand loyalty. (This is something horror game fans already figured out, when horror franchises that get big so often turn into action-adventure with horror trappings.)

I think it is much more common for pre-existing fans to *think* that new fans are going out of their way to antagonize them, than it is for new fans to actually only be in it to antagonize older fans

Sometimes new fans like different stuff and that's OK and it's not a plot to piss off people

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I think people are interpreting this secret different ways. Is there a specific area of fandom you find this antagonism from the newer fans? Is it more with the creators or the fans themselves?

[(Anonymous)]

I think I dumbed myself down reading the comments in this thread.

I watched a video last night that claimed in passing that the Third Doctor was one of the asexual ones, and maybe that was meant as an exaggeration, but I thought that was a bit silly. But then I don't think the Fourth Doctor was particularly asexual either.

[(Anonymous)]

This secret made me snort-giggle. Now I want to believe that the Master knew and wanted in on the shag-scene, but the Doctor said nah and that was part of the enemies-lovers vibes.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait til you hear what Jo Grant was doing to that Dalek...

[sparklywalls]

I agree with you. Stuck with little else to do most of the time on Earth around a bunch of men and women in uniform? There's no way he was a monk.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, absolutely true. The Master was so, so jealous.

[Mortal Kombat 1]

[thenerdygirl]

I like your take on MK1, it's refreshing compared to a lot of the gripes I've heard elsewhere about the new game.

It bothers me when characters are assholes for no reason and continue to be long after they should be done with it

Silly or serious, fandom musings and observations

I just laughed for two minutes straight when I remembered the phrase "No story, only lore"

Yesterday, I discovered a song because of a fic where the song played an in-universe role.

I was curious over whether omegas menstruate or not, so I did a quick search and there are about 200 fics tagged abo + menstruation on AO3. - If the omega is male, does he use butt-tampons?
