01/21/2024 Crew Recap

Well holy shit all.

We finally fucking did it! We hit 75,000 signatures! That's crazy! The next goal line is literally twice that, and I know it seems daunting but don't give up, the more we get the more we show how much people want OFMD picked back up! We don't have to make that goal to show how passionate we are, we already have!

I know it feels like we've been doing this forever (12 days can you believe it?) but the scuttlebutt around deck is that we are making waves, and it's good to keep up the engagements so studio execs can see just how much we care!

We've been kicking ass on the #AdoptOurCrew hashtag on twitter and other platforms

===Articles===

I'm starting with articles tonight because this first one is phenomenal so please read it, it's by our very own @celluloidbroomcloset who if you follow them, you know their analysis is top notch. If it doesn't give you hope I don't know what will!

Here's the HOW TO HELP SECTION please visit it!

=Cast and Crew News=

Samba had a baby!

Also, Errol Shand (Ricky) has just been promoting the crap out of SaveOFMD Stuff on his IG so I just had to shout out to him here. What a guy.

=Cross Fandom Watch Party!=

Looks like there's gonna be some cross fandom watch parties on twitter you're welcome to tune in for Jan 23-26 on twitter. They'll be watching good omens in an effort to try and get engagement up with PrimeVideo. It sounds like it'll be similar to the LubeAsACrew but with Good Omens fans!

This is a break checkpoint however ---PLEASE TAKE A BREAK IF YOU NEED IT (or even if you don't think you do). It's super important you take care of yourself!

You are doing plenty!

Go outside for a few minutes! (weather permitting)

Shit is hard, life's a dick, but you are stronger and more capable than you can possibly imagine, and you've got 10's of thousands of people out here rooting for you. All the love folks, wherever you are, whatever you're doing. You are wonderful and you are enough <3

---------------------------------------------------------

Tonight's random Rhys picture is what I can only assume is Murray getting a leaf blower blown in his face. You're welcome.

I hate........how sexualizing teenage superheroes is the norm in the superheroes fandom at large.Forgive me for traumadumping ig but i have really strong feelings on this as an autistic adult with a special interest in superheroes at large themselves and itself as a genre

My first hero spin was Big Hero 6.By the time it came out,i was 13 so i was allowed internet access no problem and naturally i went looking all over for content of literally everything about it but my favorite character was Hiro so he was what i searched for the most and he was LUDICRIOUSLY objectified and fetishized for his wasian heritage and when the series came out,he got an official love interest named Karmi who's 16 to his 14 and she got tons of hate from Hiro x Gogo and Hiro x Honey shippers despite them not only being college aged to his again,FOURTEEN years but we got explicit ages for them in season 2 when the Nerd Gang minus him gratuated from SFIT so they're canonically TWENTY ONE(i feel it's an important sidenote that Karmi's brownskin with a hooked nose and her VA is indonesian/chinese mixed so her heritage is obvious and as to how it contributed to her reception vs easian Gogo and blonde light-eyed Honey)

My second one was Bnha and there's been tons of discussion about the base's problem with the UA students and Himiko and i thank everyone who's posted about it deeply but my specific one is that my otp of the series was and will always be Shouto and Momo aka Todomomo even if i'm not nearly as into Bnha as i used to be because they were the first ship i actively made content for and it lasted years and that combined with me headcanoning them as bi4bi,t4t and autistic4autistic helped my egg crack and realize my own autism big time so their relathionship eternally has a big place in my heart

This means i've witnessed grown ass people saying Shouto almost touched Momo's boobs in that cap where he stopped her during their Aizawa fight(and his hand didn't even land on her chest)as a running thing and same for him acting as a macho man who rules over her body so she can't wear what she wants or exist near other men,including BAKUGOU who Momo HATES IN-TEXT,or have conflict with him because he'll just 'put her in her place as his woman' and Momo who's thee 'silk hiding steel' character and has adultification trauma that triggers her anxiety as the plot of the Todomomo starter 'Yaoyorozu Rising' with Shouto helping her with words of affirmation,healthy communication and good boundries on both sides that became the foundation of their dynamic throught the whole franchise,manga and extras,is reduced down the 'the class mom to Iida's class dad' as if she's ever even looked in his general direction and when she's rightfully earned her place as Shouto's best friend alongside Izuku himself and that is INSANELY imppressive taking into account her limited screentime.All i wanted was them being goth bf x pastel gf and getting to heal their inner child together and what i got was a nsfw Todomomo week on twitter and a certain artist drawing Momo/Dabi as an 'April Fool's' joke MULTIPLE YEARS in a row because he's also a Todoroki so it's also Todomomo lololol and i also did her with Natsuo and Fuyumi,i'm so funny!The only good thing to come out of that i started spite headcanoning Momo and Dabi as found siblings and platonic soulmates and realized i was actually on point

Then i watched Batman:Under The Red Hood when i was 19 and Jason became a character i selfship with romantically so i did the logical thing and started reading comics,starting with his.Did you know it's canon that while he dosen't exactly hunt them down specifically,he hates pedophiles and incesters so he once targeted a teacher because he was csa'ing one of his student's and expressed disgust at the thought of kissing any of his brothers based off them being brothers?You wouldn't know either of these things off fanon alone,you'd think he was creepy older guy who seeks out younger people on purpose when he dosen't seek anybody out period and that's his canon relathionships coping mechanism and it's also canon he couldn't talk to girls and pushed a guy off a roof for running a sex ring as Robin.As ROBIN,a fucking 11-15 year old Jason had that much of a moral backbone and willingness to take action in it yet everyone thinks he'd date a CHILD,even HIS OWN UNDERAGED SIBLINGS,with taking advantage of them as the appeal

I absolutely loved Into The Spiderverse as an afrolatino like Miles who was a troubled kid like he is too and i thought Gwen was super good too and Peter B's another character i selfship with romantically so naturally i was hyped for Across and the first thing the fandom did when the trailer dropped?Make a hyperpopular meme where that sweet,soft,wholesome scene where Gwen gets cheeky and looks through Miles' sketchbook and sees he's so in love with her he dedicated it's entierty to her just existing as herself into him seeing her as nothing but a sexual object with degrading features she does not have and it was a sick joke on Gwen because the boy she loves just wants her for sex and not even for what she actually looks and that just makes it even worse!!!Then there's the equally pure implied thing they did of her either stealing Hobie's sweaters because he makes her feel safe after her abusive dad kicked her out for being trans or him giving them to her to borrow as affection that ALSO got twisted into Gwen being nothing but a sex object,by people who see Hobie's age interpretation not even as a minor but in his 20s unlike how actual Ghostpunks do!!!!!!!,and don't think i haven't seen the Margo shit calling her 'thicc' and turning the girls into Miles' 'harem'

And the thing that made realize this is that it's always been like this is when i went looking for Teen Titans screenshots,first Starfire and Blackfire for me and my little sister and then ones of the animated Titans in general for my little brother because he did an edit-redraw of our DC self-inserts together using one so i got excited at how good it was and decided to ask for a few more since we have friends who have DC ocs too and we're all doing a canon rewrite fixit with them but the first results were fucking incest softcore porn and TOO DAMN MUCH horny Bbrae fanart.One of the friend's in question is like another brother to me and he's 17 and he thought there was nothing wrong with Jason/The Fenton Siblings because when i said find it triggering just in general,he tried to explain that i was 'making the wrong assumption' because a lot of people age up Danny and Jazz and he'd learned that from older DPDC fans.They literally groomed him and i'm so glad i met him and helped him unlearn that shit before he could get hurt

That's not normal.NONE of that is normal to involve children even if fictional because they're meant to be exactly like REAL kids mentally and physically and you get upset at the real ones for being upset by you doing this to them and even harrass them for it and i've had to directly defend another one of my little sibling's from harrasment from 'fandom elders' because he dared to have an opinion that 'dosen't follow the rules'.I'm sick of this,i can't stand this,this needs to DIE.There's no exaggaration over ten times the adult superheroes than they're are kid ones and you fucking ship them with eachother instead just sticking to the adults for smut.Batman and Robin were seen as a couple in ye olden times by a group of gay people not because Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson harbord secret romantic feelings for eachother since conception or intended to later on but because that specific gay people were irl pedophiles who used being gay as a defense

I don't care if i sound childish or if nobody who this is aimed at cares,i hate all of you for this.I hate you for tarnishing my special interest,i hate you for violating the history of superheroes and the creation of sidekicks and kid heroes as role models and escapism fantasies for real kids,i hate you for beyond disrespecting that superheroes as a WHOLE were created by jewish folks and that Clark Kent,the FIRST superhero,is the protector of all innocents with a deep love for children and gets especially angry when they're hurt and is a fundemental trait he has to have or he's NOT Superman or Clark Kent Kal-El or Superdad,i hate that the sexualization of underaged supers and them being abused as 'romance' by their fucking pseudo-parents is a long running punchline.I hate you with my entire heart and soul and actual comics reading knowledge

Hi so I’ve curious, (Been nervous about starting my own AU) When you first started posting OFH (on twitter/ao3) how did you get the courage to post it? Were you ever afraid of getting called ‘cringe’ or ‘weird’ or anything else negative? If so how were you able to get over it? (Btw I do love this AU with all my heart!) Sorry if any of these questions are too sensitive!

hi!! thanks for the questions, i'm flattered to be considered a source of wisdom about this x3

OFH/retyrement, like most fandom things i do, started as kind of a silly shitpost thing; i love human AUs, and when my buddy squid_hug made that original text post about the retirement home it tickled me too much to ignore. objectively the scrybes being human old people bickering in a retirement home is a goofy, silly idea, and that's how it started as an AU, down to the written fic. i think that in itself made it a bit easier to post about

however! even with that, when i started posting the first pieces of art it was definitely a "do it scared" situation lmao; i don't remember where i heard this, but in some cases it takes even more courage to do something new when you're already known for something than it does to start something new with no presence at all, and that was definitely true with the retyrement AU. it was my first contribution to the fandom too! i was definitely worried it wouldn't go over well with anyone bc it was so damn niche lolol

my main piece of advice for getting over this fear (besides just doing it scared until you're not scared anymore) is to get yourself a hype squad lmao; though maybe the more accurate term would be a mutual AU ecosystem. i had squid to develop a lot of the AU with me at the start and we bounced a lot of silly ideas off of each other, and now i have a lot more folks around to crack jokes and hype each other up about our art and fics! also at the beginning i had a point where i was feeling a little self-conscious about continuing to post (the AU had a painfully small amount of engagement at the beginning lol), but as soon as i got one (1) ask saying "i wanna see more of this" i took that as my green light to get as silly with it as possible lmao

so ig my TL;DR advice is: don't take shit too seriously, remember it's all in good fun, and surround yourself with folks who enjoy funny lil AUs as much as you do! the second thing can be hard, as it involves uh, putting yourself out there in the first place, but embracing that discomfort is a necessary evil for having a good-ass time! if you can successfully kill the part of yourself that cringes then you'll never be cringe again

godspeed on your own AU endeavors, the digital world is always better for having another crazy creative alternate universe in it <3

#doot answers #retyrement au #didn't want to make an already long post even longer but #i'm also not on twitter lmao #idk what it's like over there but #i feel like the climate here on tumblr is a lot more cozy for silly AUs in general #i can't recall getting a single negative comment about the AU as long as i've been posting about it here #and the fact that it's tumblr is probably why lol #cringe is way more dead here than anywhere else on the internet methinks #also let this be a lesson to potential AU audiences as well #if you like someone's AU #drop some sick tags or a funny lil ask about how much you like it #people being interested in my stuff truly does make my world go round #and i have zero doubt that my silly AU brethren would say the same

How long did king REALLY stay in his egg

My theory :

Ig this is a question lots of fans have, and something fans theorize about which I didn’t really know until recently. I had a really fun conversation about this theory so I decided to write my entire theory!! At first I thought maybe the egg was dormant and only started developing later, BUTTTT if you consider the fact the king says he heard a great roar that came from his father and papa titan definitely died like millions of years ago- that probably isn’t the case. If you think about it a creature THAT BIG would take a MASSIVE amount of time to fully decay, and then it would also take a long time for the titans body to be able to grow trees and grass and other stuff on its bones, to become inhabited. Bonesborough also had to be built, which would take a-lot of time. We also have to take into consideration that all that happened before belos arrived onto the boiling isles and in present time he’s been there for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years.

I think that it simply took a REALLY long time for the titan egg to develope/hatch. It’s not uncommon for really powerful or mythical creatures’ eggs to take a super long time to hatch, for example in the dragon prince zym’s egg had roughly a decade of incubation time (according to the fandom wiki) and took even longer after that egg to develop and hatch.

Since papa titan and the rest of the titans were killed off millions of years ago, and king claims to have heard his dads voice he had to have been already a little bit developed inside the egg. (Or maybe the roar was both papa titan’s death and kings creation) It probably took a millennia or so for him to fully develop and hatch, and we have no idea how long he was in the tower after having hatched. We also don’t know what kings canon age is, although many people believe he is implied to be 8-9 years old. The fact that titans grow to be such a large size could also contribute the why king took so long to hatch

So in conclusion, it just took a really long time for king to hatch, thank you for coming to my Ted talk

⸻ WE ARE OUR OWN MASTERPIECE ˒ 𝐢𝐯. era review

the third and final part to the mini trilogy they had begun with PAS DE DEUX , the studio album is special for several reasons . through the tracklist , the message pandora want to deliver is that the essence of a woman isn’t as black and white as society tries to make it seem .

clearly the stylists listened because this was the era of the dresses- per performance , there was at least one member wearing the said article of clothing . but hey , they looked like goddesses as usual so …

creative freedom was at its peak for this album . whether that be in songwriting , choreographing , or even the concept planning , almost everyone had something to contribute . the group truly wanted to show wanderers ( and everyone else ) how much they’ve grown .

of course , flak was drawn again because in GRL GVNG , some losers thought that the girls were cursing . by reading the lyrics , it can be proven that they weren’t so … back to the circus the sayers go ig ??

the unit songs were a hit too like … wanderers LOVED them . clearly , it was important that all the members were part of at least one unit track . hashtag stan fairness , stan pandora .

pandora in their social butterfly era !!!!! while they didn’t film a lot of dance challenges , the girls definitely enjoyed hanging out with fellow idols . as expected , there were friends who had shown up to the comeback stages to show their support , like enhypen’s jay and sunoo . ( the whole group wanted to come but only two were allowed so they played rock paper scissors- )

the first reactions to the tracklist was a mess … BUT IN A GOOD WAY OFC- wanderers constantly joke that the shuffle button and this comeback must not meet . at one point , you can be feeling like the main character . then the next ? you’re sobbing because you’re that person who’s always there for others , even if they sometimes forget about you .

save the best for last ? more like build up the pain for the end 🥹 THE HAPPIEST GIRL is a fan favorite because it’s a song that many can sadly relate to . it’s like ASTER , CALISTA and CHIARA know the pain all too well so they turned their experience into a haunting masterpiece …

and then you have DANCE ON MY OWN after it , a song that calista and chiara had also contributed lyrics for . ( dear lista and ara … babies , who do we have to bury ??? ) in one of the lives , the duo stated that it’s one of the most important songs to them , because they had been in that position — letting someone pull their strings until they broke — so they hope this song can serve as a beacon of healing for listeners .

special shoutout to LANFEN , the mastermind behind the concept of the pcs . the noir version shows off their “ idol ” side ; alluring or cute or badass . on the other hand , the blanc version is who they are off cameras — the “ human ” side of pandora .

FANBASE : @stealanity @lost-leopard-beanie @fairiepoems & send an ask or dm if you'd like to be added !

I'm getting into the Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon fandom, right.

Just binge watched HOTD and currently 20 minutes into the first episode of GOT as I scroll Tumblr about HOTD.

Tell me WHY people like Aemond 😭 why is there so many fawning over him and writing about him 😭😭😭 he's a certified asshole and not one I'd like to see redeemed.

He's not only an enabler and a bully, but just a bitch. Has a superiority complex out the hizzow that isn't even based on anything except his dragon, which Rhaena should have got IMO but TBH fair is fair, he showed initiative IG... Anyway. He's just a dick 😭 he contributes nothing and the war to follow in season 2 will largely be his fault.

HE KILLED A LITTLE BOY. HIS NEPHEW

WHO WAS INCESSANT UPON NOT FIGHTING HIM UNTIL CORNERED

A BOY

He's a bitch and a coward. Literally picking on those smaller then him.

What the fuck.

hi i wanted to let you know i have been into miraculous literally since PV days but have strayed from the fandom since around season 2-3 when "salt" stuff started getting really popular. i was tired of seeing my favorites being mangled beyond recognition to fit some weird revenge fantasy, so i just stopped. recently though i missed the blorbos. its people like you who genuinely love the show and the characters that have made my more recent experiences incredibly lovely and fulfilling. thank u :]

Aw thank you honey :’) truly as someone who got a little in to ML in 2016 and enjoyed the cute fan content and saw how much fans praised it but didn't keep up with it, only to come back to it a couple of seasons later and see how insane the fandom had become over those few years .... it is truly exhausting and baffling to see what people do to the show now. Ig this is the danger of too much self-projection and a lack of critical thinking. Even people who claimed to be done with the show in season 4 continue to run blogs obsessed with """criticizing""" the show for the stupidest and most petty things possible on a daily basis, instead of just ... walking away from it if it doesn’t appeal to them anymore. It can really give you a headache.

But it all makes me think of that one quote from the end of Ratatouille (the movie which is indisputably Pixar Animation Studios' magnum opus): "the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so." ML as a show means so much to so many people of all age groups and backgrounds across the world. ML is far more meaningful and loved and contributes far more to the world than any random schmuck's salt post/fic/comic/video essay about it on the internet. ML is a sweet show! It's a cute and fun show! It's a kind show about emotions and relationships (platonic and romantic) and the power of love but isn’t designated as a Girls Show(TM), as shows with these themes often are, so boys are watching it too! And it shows us a male superhero being soft and sensitive and a hopeless romantic and in touch with his emotions without shame and a female superhero who loves him for it! Which is so important!

Similar kids cartoons when I was growing up, things like Danny Phantom, always had the romance as not an A or B or even a C plot but basically a Z plot. Literally on the back burner. An afterthought. Not something that was created out of passion and a belief that the characters would love each other and rather just thrown in because a main heterosexual relationship for the protagonist Has to be there, for some reason. Romantic moments would be limited to The Romance Episode(TM), wherein the "romantic development" is just like ... the characters accidentally held hands or kissed or something, and would often boil down to "this boy and girl are friends so OBVIOUSLY they have to like each other," without ever really showing me why they actually love each other. And don't get me started on allll the pieces of media with a forced heterosexual romance that is little more than "this male and female character have romantic and sexual tension because they're a male and female character." Or all the pieces of animated kids media where the main male character immediately likes the main female character because she's The Pretty One (As much as I love ATLA and k/ataang, even ATLA did this in the first episode). This all always felt so lacking to me as someone who was so enamored by love even as a kid.

Then comes along ML. Chat Noir didn't fall for Ladybug because he saw her and was taken with how she was Pretty. We know he thinks she's beautiful but he was completely unaffected by this fact when he first met her!!! It wasn't until he saw her stand up to evil that he fell for her! A male character falling for a female character not because Wow She Pretty but because of her bravery and cleverness and determination to stand up to evil and do good? That shouldn't be groundbreaking but it is!!! And it's beautiful!!! And Marinette didn't fall for Adrien because he was The Hot Guy or The Cool Hero or just because he's the male character and she's the female character so she just Has To. She fell for him when she saw his vulnerability and kindness!!! I would've LOVED to have grown up with a show like ML.

God the romance? I’ve never seen so much delicious Yearning in any other western kid’s cartoon. The door scene? Hoowee.... The way each of them so desperately wants the other to see both sides of them. The ending scene of Glaciator, when Ladybug is supposed to be “rejecting” Chat Noir and Chat Noir is supposed to be giving her a platonic cheek kiss, and yet it’s one of the sweetest and most utterly romantic scenes in the show. The sad undertone of Ladynoir, of being best friends but not being able to know a single thing about each other’s lives. The pure romance of the umbrella scene. The coup de foudre.

And it doesn't matter if the episode is romance-centric or not because ML has given us a male and female hero duo with so much genuine love and affection for each other that it's palpable in every episode from the very first season (especially if you’re watching in French lmao). Just... the sweet way they talk to each other, where you can hear their fondness for each other in their voices. The way they tease and roast each other. The petnames. The way they support and protect and take care of each other in and out of battles (specific moments like Ladybug looking after and reassuring Scaredy-cat Chat Noir in Reverser and Chat Noir putting Ladybug’s yo-yo over her mouth for her so she could breathe underwater in Truth make me so insane). The whole concept of “them against the world.” The way that even while loving Ladybug, Chat Noir has no problem telling her when he disagrees with her. The way they will have disagreements/conflicts that are completely in line with their established character traits and weaknesses, but aren’t able to stay mad at each other for more than a minute because of their softness for each other, and always come back from it because above all else they care about and love each other. It’s so unmatched. That’s love bitch

Speaking of how their conflicts are completely in line with their established character traits and weaknesses - the characters are incredibly deep and human and consistently written with motivations and personalities and flaws that all make so much sense! And they’ve developed so much since the start of the show! And the two protagonists mean so much to and resonate with so many people, kids and adults alike. Plenty of people have gone in to the depth of Adrien’s character and why he’s meaningful to people for paragraphs on end so I won’t repeat that, but I rarely see people talking about the beauty of Marinette’s character so I just have to point out like... A female superhero who is not a Strong Flawless Girlboss Who Needs No Man but one who is basically a female Peter Parker? A female superhero who is awkward around her crush and kind of Ridiculous and a hopeless romantic who makes stupid lovestruck faces at pictures of said crush and likes girly things and the color pink and wants to hold her boy’s hand and barely has her shit together and sometimes makes bad choices but is ultimately trying her best to balance her Great Power and Great Responsibility with her civilian life and relationships? Like, I’m not in to comics so sorry if this is inaccurate because I’m only pulling from Spider-Verse, but even Marvel’s attempt at making a girl Spider-Man through Spider-Gwen made her this cool badass with an undercut. I don’t want another Black Widow or Captain Marvel or whatever!!!! I love that ML basically gave us a female Spider-Man who is just as much of a complete disaster as Peter Parker was (talking specifically about Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield versions). I love the way both Peter and Marinette fuck up and make mistakes and bad choices and struggle to balance their two lives and accidentally end up hurting or pushing away the people who are close to them while they’re trying so hard to do what they think is right and protect the people they love with no real guidance. The loneliness of keeping their identities a secret through all that knowing that one slip up could put everyone they love in grave danger. Not to mention Marinette’s very blatant neurodivergent coding that is so clear in everything she does? Seeing her ADHD brain basically become her strength when she’s Ladybug through the bizarre connections she can make with random objects in a split second, just like how someone with ADHD would go on seemingly bizarre and random tangents mid-conversation because their brain latched on to something and quickly made a whole bunch of connections in a short amount of time while the other person was talking? Chef’s fucking kiss baby.

And I love the episodic adventures format!!!! Lots of people do!!!! The rewatch value of every episode is so good!!! Not everything has to be a 10-ep-per-season HBO drama where each 1 hour long episode is solely focused on moving the plot? People who ask for which episodes are important and which ones are “filler” that they can skip when starting ML are so weird. The fun of ML is watching all of Ladybug and Chat Noir’s fun adventures together in every episode? I love watching them just Being Ladybug and Chat Noir while they fight bad guys and have their banter. Episodes can just be Fun!!! Episodes can just exist to BE fun and silly or to explore a specific friendship or relationship rather than being focused on the main villain plot and that’s not a flaw!!!!

tl;dr: ML is a fun and cute show with very relatable, human characters and shows a beautiful, deep, powerful loving relationship between its male and female superhero leads that a lot of similar cartoons and even movies aimed at adults can’t pull off and a lot of people genuinely love this show because of it.

I'm curious, what was the first fandom you recall participating in, if any? What, in your opinion, was the best?

I joined Tumblr to escape FB, IG, & Twitter, and because I was about to move across the country, and a person I knew from HS was my first friend here and introduced me to a couple of other people they knew on here. Also, I was watching Supernatural (unironically but not rabidly), and there was a huge community here, so my choice seemed like a great fit.

I took one look at the SPN Fandom and decided I was happy to just watch from three houses down with some binoculars. Their fans are a bit... intense.

It wasn't until year two of Dracula Daily that I really got into a Fandom, but I'm not great at contributing. I have written, edited, agonized over the just right way to say what I'm thinking, and then just deleted more posts than I've actually posted.

I also have a translation issue when it comes to visual art: I can see in my mind exactly what I want to show/convey, but I can't translate it via my hands. I spent a decade in art classes, working on techniques and practicing before I admitted my limitations and turned to acting.

In fandom spaces, I'm a cheering section, mostly!

Do you have any advice for fan fiction writers who aren't getting many readers etc? I feel like giving up some days but I love writing and find fan fiction my personal therapy if that makes sense. I'd love any advice you can give or any suggestions. 💕

Well, honestly I'm not any kind of authority so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. Because honestly, I never really thought I'd get any kind of following to begin with 😕 this surprised me, and still does to this day, more than anyone. When I started posting my first fic (very nervously and through the feeling like I was going to throw up) I thought "well, I'll just write a few chapters and probably no one will ever read it and I'll get bored and it'll be out of my system." And now here we are, and I have no idea how that happened 😳

What advice I can give is, you can't write for the sake of other people. I know that sounds cheap as hell because the whole point of sharing fic is to get feedback and interact with others in the fandom, but really at the heart of it you have to just write stories that you like and you want to read above everything else. Keep writing. Keep growing. Keep refining your work and your style so no matter what the view count is, you know you're becoming a better writer regardless. And truth be told, you never know what idea or fic will hit with readers and what won't. You may write something and think oh no one is gonna gaf about this and then out of nowhere, that's what people love. It happens more than you know.

Another thing is - and this is going to sound harsh at first but bear with me please - in this day and age sadly you have to manage your expectations. Not because you don't deserve more readers or comments or because your work isn't good, but because the culture of fandom and fanfic/fanart is changing, and not for the better. There's dozens of posts that make the rounds on here passively warning people about how a lot of writers and artists are getting burned out and fed up with the lack of reciprocal community from their audience. Tiktok and IG and all that shit has kind of ruined the landscape of fandom because now everything is seen as just consumption based. More and more people read a fic and move on, binge a show and move on, burn through a fandom's entire AO3 content in 3 months and move on, and it sucks. I mean when you look at fandoms of old, the days of Xena and Buffy for example, a lot of those fans are still around and still participating and still creating work even though the show/fandom/ships are long gone. You don't really see that loyalty much anymore, and it becomes a cycle of the fandom shrinking and then the feedback and comments and support grinds to a halt, and then creators stop feeling like wasting hours of their life to pour themselves into work that gets maybe a handful of comments even though they see hundreds or thousands of people have read it. It just sucks all around. So expecting to see the numbers that a fic did even 3-5 years ago, sadly, just isn't going to happen.

BUT

I do also know this, the Clexa fandom has been one of the best fandoms I've ever been in, both as just a fan on the outskirts and someone who tries to contribute. I've found Clexas to be funny and welcoming and we have a core group of fucking awesome and loyal, supportive readers, but the thing is you have to keep going. Sometimes building an audience and a regular group of readers takes time. Name recognition matters. Yes there are writers out there that are just synonymous with the fandom, but there's other writers (hi yes hello me, I mean me lol) who came late to the party and it's taken some time to get people to see their work. Tagging things and reblogging, talking in tags, reaching out to other people in the fandom and making friends who want to help you with your work because you help support theirs. All that stuff. It makes a difference. Damn near every week or so I get a new reader saying "wow idk how I hadn't heard of you before/read your stuff before but I'm glad I found it, keep going!" And that 100% will never have even the possibility of happening if you stop writing!

In the end, you just have to decide what's best for you. If this feels incredibly unhelpful I truly am sorry, I wish I had better advice to give you but I'm as clueless to this all as you are. But 2 things I do know for sure without a doubt? One, there is a place for you in any fandom, and your work does matter. There is an audience out there who want to read what you have to write and they'll love it. And two, in the end just be kind to yourself. Love yourself and be proud of yourself for trying, and for being creative and growing your work. Fanfic is supposed to be fun, writing about your favorite blorbos is meant to be fun, even if more often than not it feels like the equivalent of just dancing alone in your kitchen. Ya get what I mean?

ok! i'm actually gonna be grumpy for a second

this is gonna be me talking about the circular online discourse of "omg it SUCKS that mlm fics are so much more popular than wlw fics" specifically in the marauders fandom i do not know if it will be productive or insightful or if it will just be me being grumpy so. scroll if u want lol

anyway. i'm just! getting kinda frustrated at this point with the amount of people i see saying something like "guys...isn't it crazy how mlm fics are sooooo much more popular!! it's because of misyogyny!!" and then everyone just agreeing with them and like. that's it. internet echo chamber.

and it's like no okay i get it we need to have a conversation like it's important to start this conversation but we just. keep starting it. and starting it. and starting it. and it feels like it's not even a conversation at this point.

ok hang on i'm gonna try to organize my thoughts because i feel like there are...perhaps two main things that annoy me

there is no bad guy in this situation

one thing that frustrates me is this sort of weirdly....moralizing? ig? underlying tone to a lot of these posts. like, it sometimes feels like people are searching for someone to blame or get upset with, or some group of people to blame or get upset with. it's not just "oh misogyny is a reason behind this," it's "making a post about this issue and the way you respond to posts about this issue is an indicator of your personal moral fiber and also i now win good person points for saying this thing that many people have already said." maybe i'm being too harsh here because i DO think people deserve the benefit of the doubt and i'm sure that most of the people pointing out this issue have good intentions, i just...idk. sometimes it feels like virtue signaling more than anything.

and i think the reason it sometimes feels like virtue signaling to me is that there is no bad guy in this situation! there isn't anyone to "catch out" for the misogyny underlying this whole popularity disparity. if someone exclusively reads/writes mlm fic, that does not make them a bad person. is there perhaps some self-reflection to be done about why that is the only form of media content they consume? sure! but that's a call-in, not a call-out. y'know? idk maybe this is a whole other discussion but i already made a post about the reason i think mlm is so much more popular than wlw so i'm not gonna say it all again lol

2. the solution is actually right there. it's RIGHT there. this is a solvable thing

okay this is the thing that i think bothers me more and that contributes to those posts feeling like virtue-signaling more than anything. and that's that, at the end of the day, just saying "omg mlm fics are way more popular ugh misogyny" isn't!! that!! productive!!

like guys. this is fanfiction. this is literally fanfiction. if you truly view this as a really big issue, there are actually things you can do to fix it!! you can write wlw fics! you can read wlw fics! you can comment and kudos and recommend and send nice messages to people who write wlw fics! like this is actually a situation where you as an individual can actively do shit ??? and any of those things will be more productive than just saying over and over again that there's an issue.

like. imagine with me for a moment. picture me this. "oh man," internet user x says, "it really sucks that mlm fics are so much more popular than wlw fics! i want to see more wlw fics in this fandom space." internet user x wants to see wlw fics getting more attention, so internet user x goes and finds some wlw fics. internet user x reads them. internet user x recommends them to some friends. wow! internet user x has identified something they are unhappy with and has taken steps to change it! yay!

ok i know i'm getting sarcastic at this point i KNOW i told u guys i was gonna be grumpy. but like. the point stands (i think?). like first of all -- this is not a life or death issue; it's something that i would love to see actual conversations about, but at the end of the day this is all fanfiction and it's not that serious. but if it IS something that bothers you, actually reading and recommending wlw fics is just going to do so much more than making another post about how crazy it is that mlm fics get more attention. like. we get it. we have established that. let's either have an actual conversation about it or move on please.

"oh i would but i can't find any good wlw fics" dm me. i'll give u some. ok??? i have a whole post of recommendations. go look at that. jfc. if i could find them u can too!! it might take a little more work but again, if this is something you care so deeply about then like...work to find them. just!!! yeah. ok. i'm done now i think if i just keep going i'm gonna get mean which isn't fair bc like i said i think the people making these posts are well-intentioned. i am just! grumpy :)

#grumpy!!!#grumpy posting #posting on tumblr and being grumpy about it #idk sometimes u just need to rant on ur silly little tumblr blog #also this is not about any specific person this is just a trend i've noticed #like i said there's no bad guy nobody is in the wrong here #sometimes i just get annoyed at things on the internet and it's not because there's some big moral issue #it's just because i'm a hater at heart <3 #txt #ranting and raving

You and your hateful, trashy ass Anons, and some of the ignorant fools who follow you need to get off your fat asses stuck behind your mobile devices and do something productive in your lives than to be total bitches. Lying and making accusations is your only game in town. Sam is doing good in the world and bringing joy to people’s lives while all of you are pathetic excuses for human beings. Stop making this fandom toxic! 🛑✋ Karma is a bitch and it will catch up to you someday. You just can’t stand Sam being respected, supported, and celebrated by the majority of the fandom. So, you have chosen to make it you’ll’s mission to destroy Sam any way you can and it’s sickening. Get a life and stop the embarrassment!

Did I hit a nerve Anon (I take it these are all of one and the same given the way of writing). You seem a little upset.

You call me (and my Anons and Followers) hateful? You know what is hateful right? Calling someone stupid, a loser, a jilted ex lover (eek) , trashy, ignorant, fat... You are rather very prejudiced... it does look to me you are the one that is hateful, not me. And you haven’t got the slightest idea what I do or not do in a day, in my life and how ‘fat’ my ass is.

You know what creepy is? I say a 42 yo man openly following more and more scantily dressed women half his age on IG. But I don’t even want to go into that with this post.

But since you asked so nicely, let me just point out where my skepticism about his business, both businesses are about. Perhaps ask some (inconvenient) questions....

In the past I already wrote that a certain transparency in finances of a charity is an important detail for me in order to contribute or join in. I look for liability before I throw my money to any person or company. The same goes for businesses I purchase from. We all know how in these internet times we can not trust people on their blue eyes.

So the first thing you learn about MPC is that it is not a charity at all, it is a LLC, a company, making money and donating to charity partners. No more no less. Secondly you find out the company is based in the US and not in Scotland. I think it is a legitimate question to ask why? And when there is not much else than that it looks more like a cult club of people fanning an actor, trusting him on his blue eyes, my reaction is, to look more into it than just that surface. Him planting a couple of trees on a Saturday afternoon with a photographer and a bunch of cheering women around him all the time is not going to give the liability I look for.

So easiest step, look up the company in the The Open Database of the Corporate World to find out it is heavily intertwined with another LLC, selling whisky (from Scotland) but also based in the US. Same Directors/Officers, same jurisdiction (Nevada), same Agent and Agent address, same registration date. And we all know same cult club, fangirling base. Red flags to me!

Another thing you might do before doing business with a company is look up their address. Especially as we know that businesses in the US like to register in another (more tax friendly) state. That’s also why they are called ‘Foreign’ LLC’s. (it has nothing to do with people living in another country). Another Red flag for me, on both websites (MPC and GGC) there is no physical address. Only when asking Google I can come up with 2 different addresses for their headquarters.

5455 WILSHIRE BLVD UNIT 702 LOS ANGELES 90036 United States

At that same address MPC was registered in 2018 but Google gives as MPC headquarters:

325 N. Larchmont Blvd. #173, Los Angeles, CA 90004

So who actually ‘owns’ these companies, the open database gives and agent and AN as managing member, but aren’t does companies owned by SH too? Again I have to ask Google as there is no real information about that on both websites (in fact the GGC website only has a 12 seconds video, nothing else to go by).

So I now have 2 addresses of headquarters in LA, for 2 companies owned or managed by one person, AN.

Okay, I know where (and how) one of the co-founders lives in Scotland but how about that co-owner and CEO? Okay, okay... bit inconvenient eh, and no I’m not the type that puts private home addresses out here for everyone to see. But it’s a quite simple question for Google. It will come up with basically 2 addresses, one seems to be a former and one current.

[Now it’s perhaps time to warn you here, it’s getting a little more inconvenient maybe. So stop reading if you don’t want that information if you rather choose to be oblivious.]

Okay the former address directs me to a ranch

according to this real estate website.

Going by AN’s IG there are pictures in the past that matches with that house.

The current address directs me to

Matches with AN’s at home post last year:

Hmmm, quite the house to live in as a CEO from 2 rather small-medium companies! But okay...

But wait, second page of the search, there’s more! What is that?!?!

Another address????

Uhm, where is that?!

Okay, gonna be a more honest, curiosity about another house already occurred when seeing these stories posted last summer by SH (think some will remember we discussed where this was). The first one receiving some gifts from podcast guys on another address then he recorded the podcast itself (that was an airbnb)

I also want to point out that I have this information now for quite a while. I chose not to publish it so far. No real need to put more red flags out there, and it’s not about sharing this as look at what I found out. But you, Anon, your not so kind messages, accusing me of all kind of hateful things, just got me over that threshold. So blame it to yourself.

And then end of August

Remember? It was end of August last year when SAS RN was added on Netflix and he proudly showed us each day that it was listed in the top 10 new releases of several countries (for about a week). His watch and bracelet on the cupboards indicating he stayed at that place.

My partner in crime @heyjuudee couldn’t really figure it out at first. No hotel, not the airbnb he stayed before... where is that?! And then connecting the dots and with the right search words in Google we finally found it. The next pictures only confirming we had the right location.

Used for promo of SW

And filming MPC promo

For a bottle of the award winning gold for the MPC coach...

So, this my dear Anon, has just red flags all over for me. How is a CEO and co-founder of 2 small-medium companies, of which one conveniently is named a charity in interviews, but in real isn’t, eve when they claim to have donated about 6M in 7 years (which I wont deny is a good thing), can afford to have over 3M in real estate? You want me to believe this is all earned by the whisky selling business, in less than 2 years? The one that sold one batch and the second batch is still not sold out? Now who do you call ignorant?

Oh and yes, go ahead throw your sh*t over me, telling me I waste my time looking into things that you rather don’t want to see the daylight. I can take the heat asking inconvenient questions. Go ahead, show me these are all lies, let me see your substantial evidence! I would like to see a bit more than planting a couple of trees on a Saturday afternoon. A bit more substance than a pair of blue angle eyes. I’ve shown you where my information is based on and what my reasons are to have my doubts. Now let’s see yours!

You’re only shooting the messenger that gives you the information that should, at the least trigger you to question yourself about your naive short-sightedness. Just go ahead throwing your money to them so they can live their fancy lives in their luxurious houses and travel all over the world staying at expensive 5 star hotels. Remember, they’re on a mission...

Oh and if the shit hits the fan, don’t come crying here. Don’t go saying you feel duped and you didn’t know, cause it is all out there for everyone to find. It’s all public information, not even a subscription needed to go look it up.

Baby's first Tumblr post ig...

Tumblr informed me I've had this account for 5 years now, and I haven't posted anything. So I guess I'll add my contribution to the ROTTMNT fandom with an edit of mine from TikTok

Here is one of my favorite edits that got unfortunately muted during the music purge so I thought I'd repost it here.

#I kin leo way to much it hurts #rottmnt #rottmnt edit #rottmnt leo #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt movie #I'm not actually sure how tumblr works

I'm sooo excited to get jin back (preemptive I know), and I feel like it will be really interesting to see how jin handles being the sole bts representative for a number of months. Obviously we've seen him as the eldest of the group, but since he went to ms first and will be back first it will be a chance to see the spotlight really on him as he leads the way through the end of chapter 2. We've rarely seen the spotlight on him as an artist or as a leader. He's sort of going to be the one setting the stage for chapter 3. Also, I'm not totally sure how big of a creative direction role he's having in his upcoming album since it seems there's a quick timeline planned on it and it might already be prepared (?), but if he does have a role in it I'm really interested to see how he thinks through it. I might be the most interested in what project he puts out just because I truly don't know what it will be like. He (and sometimes jimin, but maybe more in a perfectionist way) has been the most insecure in terms of his creative output so I will be absolutely thrilled when a full project comes out and he gets to see the response

I'm really excited for Jin coming back too, but it's not about his music haha. I just really need his energy. He and JK are the number 1 Army lovers. JK is always talking about us, going live for us, doing things for us, and Jin is the same, but his energy is completely different. JK is sweet and romantic, very honest and real with us, and treat us like close friends and lovers (with intimacy I mean!), while Jin teases us a lot and tries to always be strong, cheerful, reliable. His presence is so comforting and safe because he doesn't really let himself be sad or vulnerable outside of music, so he's always funny, supportive of the members, doing everything he can to keep us happy and entertained. I really need his good vibes. BTS doesn't feel like BTS right now. It's hard to remember BTS is a group and not a bunch of soloists. I know people always say there's no BTS without RM (true!) because he's the leader, but I think Jin and Hobi, as the mood makers of the group (+ Army), contribute a lot to the group's dynamic. I don't think RM being here or in the military is going to change anything right now, but imo Jin and Hobi coming back is going to make BTS feel like BTS again. Maybe it's because Jin was the first to leave so his return means the end of enlistment era, but I think it's more than that. He and Hobi are an embodiment of what is special about BTS and their dynamic - it's the energy, humor, playfulness, creativity, comfort, dependability (they're the most active members on Weverse, and Hobi used to be on IG a lot), etc. I don't know how to explain it haha.

So yeah, I really need Jin to come back and heal our fandom. I think he'll have a huge role in uniting us. In that way, I guess he'll have a bit of a leadership role.

As for music, so far Jin has written all of his solo songs (except Yours, which is a drama OST, and Epiphany, though he wrote a demo). After what happened with V and Jungkook, I guess we can't say for sure if he'll write his own album, particularly since he'll be pressed to put out something fast as well as shoot different content and prepare himself to be an idol again... But I'm sure he'll call the shots on most things anyway. Jin is very involved and I think everything he'll do when he returns will be for us, so he'll be very careful about the content he puts out. I can't know what his album will sound like, but I also can't imagine any big surprises. He'll want something bright and cheerful, but probably will deliver some powerful ballads too. Maybe he'll pull a Hobi and show a whole different side of himself, but that doesn't seem like Jin's thing, and I doubt he'll have time to reinvent himself straight out of the military.

Thanks for the ask!
