Long haired people

[(Anonymous)]

How much do you hate when you can feel a hair on your face or in your eyelashes but can't find it?

Re: Hear Me Out

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, yeah.

It's been ages since I've seen that movie, but I seem to recall having a crush on him as a kid, too, so I get it :D.

I'd also add Timon from The Lion King (shut up, I found him funny :p. The hula scene!) and Basil from Great Mouse Detective. I definitely crushed on those two as a kid.

Sorry but this is so unhinged it is actually hilarious

[nanslice]

I totally get it. I married my rp partner.

The Bleach ship wars were sooooo annoying. So much needless drama and character bashing on all sides.

Haaaaaate it. I'll stop everything and brush at my face until it's gone. Occasionally there'll be a hair trapped in my glasses (but detached from my head) that's the culprit, so I examine my glasses too, in case it's hiding there, tickling my nose every time I put them back on.

my hair has been falling out lately (sometimes just one or two strands, sometimes a whole clump at a time) and I keep having to swipe my hand across my throat to grab it all and drop it to the side. it's driving me insane.

No

[(Anonymous)]

It is a big step forward in getting all the illegals out of the country as efficiently as possible. Means no more bleeding heart anti-american lawyers can stop it.

Robin Hood made us all a little bit furry, let's be real.

what is a RP partner?

I would say, no, fandom didn't used to be that tiring (especially on point 3) but also, that fandom NOW doesn't have to be that tiring either. I've had a lot of bad experiences with big fandoms (which it sounds like you're mainly getting into, from what you listed in your secret), which I've gotten into more recently, but my small fandoms were and still are chill and friendly.

Point 1 & 2 are things that have always been (generally) true of megafandoms, although point 2 has been exacerbated by "everything is public and everyone is potentially talking to everyone" type social media sites (Tumblr and Twitter/BlueSky are the biggest examples of this), which are more popular today than they were 20-25 years ago when smaller forums, smaller interest communities, and friendslocking functionality were more of a thing. If you want to be in a big fandom, I recommend you carve out a small space where you can actually have semi-private discussions with people. Some recommendations: create a community on a smaller/less active website like DeviantArt or Dreamwidth, or join/create a subreddit or Discord server that might also be even more specialized (e.g. rather than a generic Arcane server or whatever, have one dedicated to Arcane artists trying to improve their craft or, like, Arcane memes/silly discussions or Sevika fans only -- just something more specific that just cuts down on how many people you expect to interact with and gives people a shared starting place).

Cliqueishness and BNF worship has always been a part of fandom. My advice here would be to avoid the worst ones (ones where the community is centered around one BNF with a big ego who tends to turn on people who don't agree with them) and to just push through the ones that are less bad. It's always going to be hard to vibe with an established community, especially if you're a newcomer who has a lot of opinions. You're going to get a reaction kind of like that "Awkward Party Reaction" meme at first. If you push through that initial awkwardness of just being a new person yakking your head off, usually you will get to know people and will become familiar with the community's inside jokes and will become a mainstay in the community yourself. But it takes time to acclimate and for people to get to know you and get a sense of who you are. Just don't be a jerk and know when to read the room and step back when you've overstepped and you'll be fine. And if you're not having fun, absolutely just leave.

And for 3, I recommend finding people who are into stuff that is older and have been running active communities related to that thing for a while. It is still possible some members will flit on to the next hot thing in less than a year, but hopefully, there will be a core group of people for whom that's a forever fandom that you have a chance of making more long-lasting friendships with.

Roleplay partner. Person you roleplay with.

Re: Hear Me Out

[(Anonymous)]

hahaha that's great! Do you think your former friend bought the Marge Playboy issue?

Re: Long haired people

[(Anonymous)]

It's a pain, but even worse when you're outdoors, wearing a hat and sunglasses and the loose hair is somehow tangled in them and tickling you

[(Anonymous)]

Aw. On the upside, you have nearly 30 years of fan content to explore.

[(Anonymous)]

I do hope she's just offline, dealing with things she needs to IRL.

Hope she will return one day and reconnect Secret OP. ♡

[(Anonymous)]

DA
+1

[(Anonymous)]

I had a similar experience trying to get into fandom. I mostly lurk from the sidelines now.

Re: Long haired people

[(Anonymous)]

Hate it! I have to stop and swipe my face, hoping I've captured the bothersome strand.

What I hate more is when fallen strands want to hang out in my butt crack or in my boobs. Tickling me and I have to find a private spot to reach under my clothes to try to find it.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry that happened, but it's kind of amazing to me that they went to the trouble of making an ai diss track. I hope one day you can look back on it, say wtf? and laugh about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Same genre, yeah. The difference is in L&L they actually dated and the POV character actually thought about the other person romantically. None of that happened in Cursed Cocktails. It was a weird book. I would not at all be surprised if that author was some straight man trying to jump into a popular niche market.

Re: iPhone ringtones

[(Anonymous)]

Okay I might actually need to listen to the audiobooks for this 😆

[(Anonymous)]

No, it isn't. You can stop lying. You know damn well it has nothing to do with illegals, and everything to do with putting fear in the hearts of brown and black people, regardless of their residential status.

But thanks for sounding your xenophobic and racist alarm. Rules and the Constitution only apply when your guy's not in charge, eh?
