WTF

are you an idiot

Go away anon troll, nobody wants you here.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaw.

And I want them here, so you're wrong.

Doesn't count, since you're the same person.

So everyone who disagrees with you is the same person. Awwww, you're so adorable.

Sick comeback, bro.

Ugh, get a life. It's FS, not serious business.

Can any of our hipper community members provide explanatory footnotes for this?

I too am curious.

OP, sorry to hear you had a shitty time. :/ I think I might know who your experience was with (if it an SPN fan).

I think this pretty much covers it:

Oh shit, it's THAT thing. Thanks for the link, anon. I'm terrible with names.

I forget which fandom he's glommed onto these days, but apparently he just posted an "anonymous ask" from some poor, confused, messed-up teenager who sounds surprisingly like himself, and who of course is being offered the utmost in sympathy and understanding from noble, compassionate TF.

Nobody who knows his history at all believes anything other than that he sent the supposed anon ask to himself. He's setting out the lure to catch more vulnerable young people and do this shit all over again, and it's pretty horrible to watch.

He's in Supernatural, is already trying to set up a convention, and seems to be setting himself up to start channeling Castiel imo. Tumblr is basically the lushest, most fertile hunting ground he could dream of too. I cannot imagine a way this ends well.

http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1305982.html is a good place to start to see what he's up to now. The crap he's been saying about his "~past~" while simultaneously transparently trolling for new victims has been so infuriating all I could do was warn my little sister and her followers off and wash my hands of the whole thing.

Anon who posted the failfandomanon link

The absolutely bizarre thing is someone on fandom_wank or clairvoyantwank even guessed that after the fallout from the shit that went down in the Harry Potter fandom, he would probably try Supernatural or another fandom with a relatively large fanbase who might have some proportion of people disposed to his tendency to make sweeping, unsupported, self-aggrandizing statements about himself and his life.

I guess that saying about the leopard and the spots is probably true here.

Yeah, tumblr's unique combination of gullibility and stubbornness mean that he'll never have a shortage of people willing to either believe his line that he's changed or just disregard all the shit that he's done wholesale. At least the warning posts about him have gotten a little more attention lately, though.

(Though the FW post is kind of inaccurate in calling it a convention - it was a LARP. In the woods. He wanted people to give him like a hundred dollars apiece to hang out with him and his current crop of followers away from civilization.)

He's glommed onto Supernatural, unfortunately. He's become one of those really annoying tinhat Destiel shippers who posts bullshit meta (and I say this as a {sane} Destiel shipper)about the most minor things and, sadly, has a shit-ton of followers who just eat that shit up. Always makes me cringe whenever I see someone I follow reblog anything of his. It's annoying and I wish he'd go the fuck away and I've warned people away from him repeatedly.

Re: He's still around, too.

bwaaahhhhh?

Yeah, and HE JUST DOESN'T STOP. Every time you think he can't possibly get any crazier or creepier, it will turn out you were wrong, wrong, wrong.

Oh, I knew the name Victoria Bitter but had no idea they had so many other names and drama attached to them! Or that they were even still around. Crazy.

They're like a curse.

"Like"?

OP you are lucky you didn't get sucked in further. I have often said I am so happy online fandom wasn't around when I was a kid/teen because I'm sure I would have gotten suckered in and taken advantage of. These crazy trolls always sound so obviously cult-leader-like and insane afterwards but in the first lead up it can be really easy to be swayed, especially if you're in a vulnerable state.

People be crazy.

me too, anon

I don't know if I could have been sucked in by exactly the same stuff Orangeblossom was. But I HAVE been in a relationship (outside fandom) like the one you describe, where a manipulative, spectacularly wounded person convinced me that I was their lifeline and the only one they could depend on etc., and it was only through sheer luck that I got out (was dumped) before I voluntarily went into massive debt. I was literally on the brink of taking out a huge bank loan to finance their "dream" that only I understood and that was so important to both of us. While I was struggling to finish college and working at Kohl's, because who cares about my future? None of that was important anymore. There wasn't any me, just us and The Plan.

I'm not a stupid person [citation needed] and I usually have a decent sense of self-preservation. But something happened to me, and if just a few things had been different it could have been much, much worse.

So it not only could have been me, it was me. And I don't know how many other people before and after me.

I think a lot of people recognise how easily they could have been sucked into something like that when they were young and naive. I know I do. I mean, I talked to Jordan a little online and even gave Bit of Earth (a small amount of) money, and never really thought twice.
