It really is that damn phone. Gen z adults should stop spending all their time in online fandom spaces full of teens. If you're unable to unplug, at least surround yourself with sane adults online who are mature enough to have emotional regulation skills. My god this phenomenon is truly pathetic

Yeah, I'm not sure how long you've followed me but I have a couple of published (peer reviewed) articles that go in-depth into this phenomenon if you weren't aware of them. It may help clear up even more! :> links to view/request linktr.ee/samaburime

I just finished watching the dynasty warriors movie on netflix... The movie was okay but it made me wanna play the new DW game so bad!! Also towards the end I realised that the app automatically set the audio as cantonese instead of mandarin. The whole time I was like "This dubbing sounds so weird"

Any other. And if a fan tries to act like they're better than the rest of us just because their fic or art or meta got popular, you should run for the hills because thats just 🚩all over. We are all equal in fandom so. Just remember that author or artist you look up to is just another fan

Late night/early morning musings but: I've always been very uncomfortable with the fandom penchant for treating popular fancreators as celebrities. bnf culture is, at it's heart, incongruous with fandom despite fandom being what created them in the first place. No fan is any better or any less 1/

Also I’ve had the pleasure of making so many fandom friends who aren’t “popular artists” or writers or even creators at all! Sometimes you click with people and sometimes you don’t, and when you do those relationships take effort to build and maintain.

'Popular' east asian artists had a point where they dropped renaissance level art and just logged off. I think it's currently more sustainable for fandom artists online (who don't make a living off of their art/community) to just drop art and ignore fandom as a whole. Post art + log off quickly

I've been ultra focusing on my career and support system (friends & family ❤️) these past few months. With this huge distance I've put between myself and online fandom, I've been contemplating about my past odd years as an 'online fandom artist' and the identity I've built around my online persona.
