The pressure is actually unreal. It's killed so many, and has been slowly but surely working its venom into my veins for years. Even knowing it is there doesn't help.
Unreal.
Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.
We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.
The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.
Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.
Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.
There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.
Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.
We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

#hahahahahahahaahahaha#these sweet summer children#they have yet to learn#if you stare long into the fandom#the fandom will steal your firstborn your soul and send you on your way with incomprehensible memes and various keychains

Sooooo... I am writing a new fic. It's been a little while since I posted the first part, but I AM working on the second part as we speak ^^ I'm hoping to have it done before the end of the year.
Take a look if you care to!!
Sweater Weather, Part 1
It was supposed to be a simple Friday evening, not unlike any other. They'd study some, they'd watch a stupid movie and share a pizza, they'd stay up too late sharing memes, and, in the end, reluctantly part ways, just like they always did.
The sewers of NYC had a different idea.
#tmnt#rise tmnt#apritello#donatello x april#fanfic#everyone is of age as always#part one#nothing explicit yet#just some wanting thoughts#that comes later heheh#would love if y'all gave it a try ^^#I'm starting to really feel like creating again and it'd be a real boost
