I got my COVID-19 booster vaccine. Please consider getting it, too. In America, CVS Pharmacy has Novavax, which is my preferred one due to less intense symptoms and longer period of coverage. Please also get your flu shot too. Let’s enjoy the holidays without illness. ❤️

They’re announcing the artist of the erha comic over on Twitter and I am betting my entire soul that the artist will be Ayano Yamane. I can only guess it’s her because they’re making it a massive deal and…I can tell her side profiles from anywhere. 😂 If I am correct I’ll be a true veteran of BL…

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Chloe is gone. Thank you all for your kindness. Thank you as well for all the donations. I can upload receipts at a later time. No more donations are necessary. She will be cremated and brought home. Here’s a photo of her a short while ago when she was still well. Thank you for your kindness.

Chloe, little Shmoe.

Please pray for Chloe. Her prognosis was likely terminal; she has a mass behind her throat. We’ve done almost everything we can short of surgery. But she’s an elderly cat, and surgery wasn’t recommended. As a Hail Mary, the vet gave her a steroid shot for reducing inflammation.

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.
