No, actually, you just seem to be a hugely condescending asshole.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy shit you are a condescending ass. Go away.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Good for you OP. Get your entertainment wherever you can.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
OP I feel the same way about all of Teen Wolf Fandom.

I love watching from afar.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. The fandom is like this perfect mix of secondhand embarrassment, insane entitlement, nonexistent boundaries and occasional awesome fanworks.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially this last weekend. All of the meltdowns have been beautiful to watch from afar. It's nice because I watch the show, but I'm not part of fandom, so I understand everything going on, but am not particularly invested in any of it.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
DA. Oh my God, this weekend has been such a beautiful clusterfuck. Colton leaving? The campaign to make Tyler Posey feel appreciated? The heated debate about whether or not Jeff Davis confirmed Stiles is bisexual? I am the happiest wankmonger.

I have never, ever, ever been in a fandom where the CREATOR got pestered about slash like this. Something special is happening here.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I love it when people try to read between the lines every time Davis says something. Even if he is just making a joke, some fans take it as the gospel truth. "Special" would be a very good word for this.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a classic case of selective hearing; they hear what they want and discard the rest. Like during the NYCC panel, when someone asked if Stiles' hinted bisexuality would be explored in canon. The only part of Davis' response was what he said first: "I feel kind of backed into a corner -- that could be spoiler territory." So people flock to tumblr to shriek about how there's some sort of spoiler about Stiles being bisexual! Only if you actually watch the video, he then immediately follows this up with statements like they'd maybe consider that if it felt right for the story, if they had to find some way to keep Stiles' character fresh four seasons in, if Dylan came to him and said he was bored... I'd love to see Stiles portrayed as bisexual, but let's not flip out over something Davis never said, yo.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
DA

Parts of the fandom just really don't seem to get that storytelling >>>>> your favorite ship/pet theory/head canon, too. I'd love to see Stiles be bisexual in canon, but I'd rather they didn't shoehorn in something that made no sense with current goings-on or the general narrative or that came off as existing solely to be clunky fanservice. Like, hey, I know this group of bad ass alphas is trying to kill us and we're running for our lives, but I feel like now would be the ideal time for me to announce my sexual orientation!

DA Oh god, the fandom's tendency to read way too much into EVERYTHING that Jeff Davis says kills me. I used to get annoyed with all of the "Jeff Davis said the schooner. A schooner is a ship. OMG STEREK IS TOTES GONNA BE CANON GUYS!" crap, but then I reached the point where I decided to stop giving a fuck and now I just sit back with my popcorn and watch things unfold. I'm all for fandom meta and discussions and speculation, but TW fandom takes it to a whole new level of ridiculousness.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Especially considering the actual canon is not that well-written sooooo how much can you meta anyway? Unless it's like the SPN version of meta, which is either gushing about the characters or trying to shovel plotholes full of fanwank.

What? Coulton is leaving? Is he going to be in the next season at all? Because I really want Jackson to get some character development before he has to leave. I was just warming up to him.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! It's a juicy story, primarily because no one knows wtf happened. There were many reports on pop culture pages citing anonymous sources, and there were ambiguous tweets, and then Jeff Davis tweeted to say he had no idea wtf was going on, and the fandom was in an uproar. Someone on tumblr wrote emo poetry about it. It's been confirmed since.

As far as I can tell -- which is to say, what most reports agree on -- is that Colton was offered a contract for 48 episodes (I assume over the next two years). However, he'd just gotten a role as a lead in a new pilot. His management sat on the contract for two months. At some point during this standoff, MTV downgraded* his contract to only 12 out of S3's 24 episodes, and, as a regular, he would have been forbidden from filming other projects even while not actively at work on TW. Negotiations fell through and Colton walked. He's off the show, which Tyler Posey cried a little about at NYCC. Jeff says he's going to write Jackson out in a way that leaves room for him to come back, if Colton wants to.

*I think -- this could have been the original offer. Really don't know.

Personally, I think this move was stupid as hell. Who ditches a picked-up show for a freaking pilot?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
which Tyler Posey cried a little about at NYCC

Aw, bb :(

Their friendship was always so great

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the rundown.

Well at least he isn't getting killed off, so there's potential for some resolution. Hopefully.

aww

this secret is cute even though it's wanky

AWWW ♥

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you're not the Derek to the Sterek fandom's Stiles, because Derek doesn't have "miles of affection" for Stiles. What show are you watching?

[personal profile] cloud_riven 2012-10-14 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
+1

unless they're going by the fanon!Derek that has miles of affection for fanon!Stiles.

But I'm also of the opinion that the fandom really is nothing like Stiles. If the analogy had went somewhere like this:
"am i the gerard to sterek fandom's coach finstock???"

I'd have been all over this and calling this an adorable secret. But it's not.
It's only a regular cute secret >:'(

(Anonymous) 2012-10-14 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like Finstock!Sterek fandom would consider me not as Gerard, but Greenberg ;_;

Oh, Greenberg!anon. You don't have to fanonically need to prove anything to Finstock!Sterek fandom. They don't know how good you are.

Danny!I know that you try very hard. I've been goalie!watching you from afar, and I think you are the coolest of beans.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Shipping Danny/Greenberg now ngl. Danny: beloved by all. Greenberg: if he were on fire, Finstock might pee on his body while pretending to help. Now there's a star-crossed ship.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
we all know that finstock is all tsun-tsun towards greenburg because he loves him most of all

(Anonymous) 2012-10-15 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
AND NOW I WANT TO WRITE DARK FIC OF FINSTOCK MOLESTING GREENBURG AND HE IS RESIGNED TO IT BECAUSE HE "DESERVES" IT FOR BEING A FAILURE

I NEED TO LEAVE THIS FANDOM
