AYRT.

Oh my god xD. Honestly considering that still happens now I'm not surprised, I think I recall the Sora/Riku fandom having a similar inner ship war too.

Why the fuck does DW do this

Yeah, I agree.

Community is hard if you're only on Tumblr and AO3.

I do have fan communities I participate in on Twitter and Reddit. Reddit is good for discussing the shows and I like it for that, but it's kind of...anon and divorced from fic. Twitter has too many people who want to be BNFs. You can tell because they're the ones who won't follow other fans back. They don't want a community, they want likes and attention.

Re: What's a fandom opinion you've seen that made you side eye the person saying it?

Hanngram can't be canon because both Hannibal and Will slept with women on screen.

(Anonymous) 2025-05-15 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
that cover art sure screams fanfic with the serial numbers filed off...

(Anonymous) 2025-05-15 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It depends on what you want out of fandom. As a place to engage with other fans/make friends, yes, it's always been that tiring. I write fic, answer the nice comments, grey rock the bad ones, and don't participate otherwise and tbh if there's been drama about my fic in the 25 years I've been writing fic in various fandoms, I don't know about it. I'm happy that way.

because the text-based captcha is down so they have some quick-patched access to recaptcha instead. hot-patching shit like that breaks a lot at random.

I liked the general cozy writing style, but this book had a few big problems and the "romance" was definitely one of them.

Another being that the author forgot women exist.

(Anonymous) 2025-05-15 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty standard "cozy fantasy" style. Not the worst, but not great.

I'm just honestly shocked a teenager frequents F!S. I just assumed we were all fandom olds here.

I'm sorry. I too hope she just took a break from internet things. It is possible - the internet can be very bad for one's mental health. Maybe she realized fandom was acting against it.

Also, I know in cases like these a month feels like a long time, but in "normal" circumstances it's not that long at all. She may come back.

I think Mufasa might have been my first crush as a kid. >.> Trying to think of some I have as an adult. Venom I guess? There is Garrus but that is a conventionally attractive alien. :p

I've been lucky to get into smallish but still active old/obscure fandoms in the past few years. I don't think I ever want to get into anything too 'big' again with the way things are now.

I've just posted a secret about this XD
But my second choice would be Corey the Manticore from the Onward movie.

I've actually heard a lot of people claim fandom never used to be toxic. I find that hard to believe, but then again, my first fandom was infamously toxic.

Either you were lucky before, or you might be forgetting the more toxic elements.

NAYRT

Also, sometimes casual fans find the TV subs, and complain that "it's just a show" whenever someone tries discussing anything. Not all the subs are like that, but I have had to leave a few.

Aww, sweet, OP. Hope you can become irls too if they want it!

(Anonymous) 2025-05-15 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Agree, palletshipping rocks! Maybe search ff.net for fic, it was v popular back in the days!

(Anonymous) 2025-05-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes and no.

1) younger people usually are less picky when it comes to making fandom friends so it’s easier to mingle probably if you are a teen
2) nowadays influencer culture makes people REALLY want to be the next big thing to make money off of it. Especially artists generally
3) It Depends, some fandoms are pretty low stakes still. Generally the huge ones have a corner for everyone and smaller ones are cozy.
In my experience ofc but it’s worth mentioning that I hated lj and my favorite periods of fandoming were early tumblr (circa 2010) and static fansites (circa 2000) days.

Anyone who hates Sansa (a child) for what she did at King's Landing makes me give them the side eye.

Are you sure you want my answer to that as an anime fan? Alright… I will need 2 hours.

Shang from Mulan, Aladdin

Oo, and David Xanatos from Gargoyles.

I do not feel this way but a former friend of mine used to think Marge Simpson was hot (this was back when the Simpsons were good) and I used to draw them and he was always bugging me to draw naked Marge.
