one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.
which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:
what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it
what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)
what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes
and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts
Can we get some art of Narinder interaction with his kittiebitties (Aym and Baal), pretty please 🥺🥺🥺
the face of someone that doesn't care about his kits (he's a lier)
Ok this is kinda random but please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks black sheep from Scott pilgrim fits skk so well
okay so twice recently i've seen random people in the wild like "yeah people don't eat rice around here." so i think we need to have a poll on rice consumption
if you're a no-ricer maybe say where you're from/other explanation because i would like to know................................
They were exhausted. They had had so many fights all one right after the other, and it was beginning to feel like there was no escape.
Atsushi and Akutagawa had been bickering the whole time, pushing blame onto the other, yelling out orders, and calling each other petty names that in the whole never really mattered. Atsushi could feel the tiger getting tired, he could feel it in the way he couldn’t move as fast, how his healing was slowing, how every single time he moved, he felt pain shoot through his body.
AKA Atsushi and Akutagawa are pushed to their limits as they fight with abilities they don't know

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
long distance internet friendships are so frustrating like i want to go hang out at your place. i want to bring that snack u like if ur sad. i want to go to the cinema and watch a movie together. i wish we could randomly decide to drive down to the beach one friday night and look at the stars. we drifted apart and idk if you're alive. nobody would think to tell you if i died. i hope you're okay
made this zine earlier this month and prepared 20 copies for distribution yesterday! super exciting for me, this is the first zine i've made for distribution and i can't wait to share it around :)
as the back cover says, this zine is ok to photocopy/print and distribute yourself so long as you keep the credits to me! if you do decide to make your own copies, i'd love to see!
Hi. Good morning. I just woke up. Thinking very intensely about Mal du Pays being """comforting""" towards Siffrin. Aa one does directly after waking up
The amount of people who can casually drink soda baffles me as someone who absolutely cannot handle it. Everyone just drinks these for fun????????????? It's not the most miserable sensation on earth for the average person??? I really like spice so you'd think it'd go hand in hand, but no
