Strange, how a cat can change my whole perspective on life and on other beings of the earth. We are truly blessed to have animals share earth with us. Nature gives.

Hi, just letting you all know that Hunter DOES listen to Destroyed by Hippie Powers by Car Seat Headrest, and no there is nothing you can do about it.

"This character is trans," I say about the most cisgender man on the planet without a hint of irony in my voice.

How to Scale the Popularity of a Fandom or Media

Written by: Me!

DISCLAIMER

This is not scientifically proven nor is it objective. I made this up because I thought it would be funny

Source: Bro, trust me!

There is no quantitative data to back up my claims. All of this are based on experience and bias.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wants to know the popularity level of the media we enjoy or take part in. Usually, this things are measured by the amount of active users, fan contents, interactions, and publicity. However, those factors rarely have a definitive group and I don't think there's an official scale to measure it (if there is, then I apologize for my laziness in reading). So, I made up my own scaling system to measure how popular a certain fandom or media is. Completely subjective and utterly disagreeable. But hey, it works for me. In what aspect? I don't know! You may see this as a schizo post, but to each there own. So, there are seven tiers:

OBSCURE The basis of them all. No matter what media you consume or what fandom you take part in, it will always start at this level. If a media is at the Obscure level, it means that the said media is almost non-existent or very slept on by the masses. The people who participate are the ones who have heard or known the existence of the media prior to their official release (i.e. through a trailer or closed beta gameplay). These people are what I like to call "The Progenitors": people who was there when the media was in development. Numbers of fan contents and fanbase interactions are close to none, but not zero. From here on out, is up to the fanbase and the creator of said media to rise up the ranks.

NICHE A media would enter this level when it has already established a definitive fanbase. Even though the numbers are miniscule and the media itself is still heavily slept on, at least it can be at peace knowing that there are genuinely interested in it. The member includes the Progenitors from the previous segment and new recruits are from those who have VERY specific tastes that the media somehow managed to cater. Fanbase interactions are limited to the fandom's inner circle. The number of fan contents and content creators are very few, but very dedicated. For instance, there could be, like, 20 creators (fanartists, fanfic writers, etc.) in a fandom, but when they create a fanwork of that specific media, they always go all out.

WELL-KNOWN Now we're getting somewhere. Once a media reaches this level, the number of members and fan creators starts to gradually increase in size. The fanbase discussions and interactions are still within the circle, but is very vocal. So much so that people from outside that community can hear them clearly (mostly by accident such as from memes that contain inside jokes from that media or fandom). At this point, those people would either join it or simply not interested in it. It doesn't matter. The main point is that the voices are heard and they would only get louder.

RELEVANT Similar to Well-Known, but even bigger and better. The number of fan contents and creators are considerably plentiful. The group interactions are not limited within the fanbase, but people from outside the fandom or don't consume the affiliated media directly can easily enjoy and actively participate. However, it is at this level we are introduced with the toxic side; the 1% of loud minority who are very vocal on expressing their toxicity. But remember, even though they seem loud, they are still manageable.

POPULAR The cream of the crop. All media and fandom strive to be in this tier. The active members are at a comfortably high level and are well fed with the bountiful amount of fan contents. Overall, it's a perfect level to feel content with. The downside? The number of toxic members also grow along with the fandom, which sucks but it's the consequence of population growth. Just hope and pray that the fandom or media doesn't overachieve or do anything drastic or else that 1% toxicity might get reeeaaaaaalll big.

MAINSTREAM The golden age for a media. Being in this tier means that the fandom or media in question has a VERY high count of active members internationally and there is almost no outsider who hasn't heard about or recognize it. However, this cause immense pressure to be able to cater the billions of fans and to not make a single mistake that can be their self-destruct button. Not only that, the number of toxicity is almost close to half and more vocal than ever before. But hey, price of fame.

IMPURITY OF MEDIA When a media or fandom became too popular or when the ones responsible for creating and maintaining set media pressed the previously mentioned self-destruct button, they belong to this tier. The toxic side is far from a loud minority anymore, thus silencing the people who actually care for the media. Not only that, the outsider will only know and recognize the toxic side of the fandom without even giving the good side a chance. The only way to revert from this state is to purge it thoroughly, cleansing the fanbase and the media itself back to its former, obscure state, by all means necessary.

That's all for my 10 PM delusional post, I guess. Where do you think you fandom belongs? Let me know!

My sources are shady articles with dubious titles that I found at 3 AM when my head is 90% asleep.

continuing that "maya tries to contact claire" post, i present you the post-Spirit of Justice follow-up

IT department is such a sausage party, that even the girls have dicks in there

I am in my angst today so I'm going to drop a few of ansty Batfam headcannons.

- Bruce till this day do that father thing of open the door of his kids room to see if they're sleeping and then closing (even when they're just visiting).

- The first time he did that to Tim, Tim pretended to be asleep and then he just started sobbing because Jack used to do the same thing too, and his mother before him.

- Dick, when he moved out of the manor, still would use the Batcomputer to do research from time to time. Everytime he slept on from tiredness he would woke up with Batman's cape on his shoulders.

- No one knows Bruce has a good singing voice other than Dick and Jason because he would sing to their sleep, sometimes, when they had nightmares.

- He stopped singing when Jason died. The only person who was able to hear him sing again was Damian. He pretended to be asleep, because if he opened his eyes he would noticed how much he misses his mother.

- Jason singed to Damian sleep once at the league. None of them remember that.

- Damian tries constantly to assure himself that he could take down every member of his family if he needed to. Deep down he knows he can't.

- Bruce spent weeks trying to master how to cut someone's hair ( with Alfred's help ) so he could give Dick a haircut, because Dick said to him that his mother used to cut his hair.

- Bruce taught every single one of his sons how to shave their beard.

- Bruce had a mental breakdown once because he was starting to forget his mother's face.

- Cass overanalyze everyone's body language to see if they're healthy and happy. She tries to stop herself sometimes because more often the answer is no.

- Sometimes Tim flinches when Jason moves to fast near him. They never talked about that out loud.

- Sometimes Damian's hand tremble when he grabs his sword, he can still feel the blade.

- In one of Dick's worst fights with Redhood the moment he got home he threw up. His brother's eyes used to be blue like his and not green.

- There was a time where Jason was so happy that Bruce's blue eyes were the same shade of his.

- Bruce's hands still tremble when he sees his children on the battlefield.

- Bruce has a habit of messing with his children's hair, every single one of them picked the same habit after him.

- When Dick moved out to the Titans Bruce couldn't sleep for weeks.

- Jason avoids to change clothes in front of his brothers because of the face Dick made when he saw his autopsy scars for the first time.

- One time Jason had a panic attack and misdialed Tim's number, Tim stayed on the line until Jason managed to sleep.

- There's times where Bruce says the word Robin and all of them look at him.

God designed people to look down when they’re sad because the plan was you’d notice cool bugs and shiny rocks on the ground and it would cheer you up

Problem is that our modern cities have removed the cool bugs and shiny rocks from the ground so sad city folk just end up looking at the blank concrete

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon
