Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

started watching the bakshi directed seasons of the 60s spiderman cartoon & every so often there will just be a killer shot someone managed to throw their whole pussy into despite all the production limitations

Peter Parker, doused in shadow, at the docks at night. he is leaning on his knee and looking out into the water. the docks and sky are rendered with cool tones of green, blue, and violet in watercolor

a great dissection of why a lot of fandom drama doesn't only boil down to "these people are thinking too much about [insert series here] and need to touch grass." there's another layer to the way folks get obsessed (for parasocial/self-important rewriting/clout reasons, etc) that gets glossed over

by asneakyfox on tumblr: 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.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS episode one: Honestly? This is pretty cool. Kinda Resident Evil-ish. Here are some girls and they are gonna fight some monsters and go through some angst and it's gonna look cool. I respect it. Nanoha being a kid here feels weird though?

As a reminder, please always be your cool, unique self and talk about and write about and post about and dress up as and collect that thing you love. Be respectful to others and balance it appropriately in your life, but be your own voice behind something you think is cool

The one rule about putting out an aggressive or confrontational take out is you can’t do the “I’m just a little guy and it’s my birthday” if people disagree. You gotta be prepared to defend it, you’re an adult!
