Stan culture comes for us all

Genuinely, people need to stop letting their love for bands/artists consume their whole lives. I don't wanna be the joy police, but the drama, harmful interactions, and poor personalities that come from this are too much. And putting other fans on pedestals shouldn't happen!

According to this the average age of &team fans is nearing 40 I believe? I see a lot of tweets by young fans calling 30s+ people “creepy” & “cringe” for stanning idols. I want them to understand how out of touch they are with fandom & idol culture.

woke up thinking “if cnn reporting on ao3 is such an existential threat to the site’s existence then why would naomi novik agree to be quoted in that article”

It's time to wake up, fellow fans. AO3 is almost two decades old and exists in part as an alternative to corporate initiatives to make fan fic widely available.

This is definitely what fuels my rare pair ships.

I dont ship characters bc i want to see them in a romantic relationship. I ship them bc i want to explore their possible character dynamics within a more intimate and emotionally vulnerable context

Part of the reason why AO3 exists is bc companies & business bros in the early 2000s were trying to take advantage of and exploit fanfic writers (Fanlib, Fandom Inc) The mainstream already knows about fandom and fans being a huge market. That's why fan culture became so popular

How do I explain to people that the ao3 discourse becoming mainstream may lead to us being recognized as an untapped market resource and the only holy bastion that's keeping this commensalism is AO3 accepting only donations and not placing monetary value on it

It’s naturally to have these types of relationships, the issue becomes more when you don’t acknowledge that and blur those boundaries. When it becomes your life and/or you find yourself affected beyond basic empathy

The most interesting thing I’ve learned studying them for school is that we have at least one parasocial relationship in our lives actively. Parasocialism isn’t just the extreme but the “oh hope my favorite weatherman is okay” when they say he is sick on air.

There are too many “feel good” Christmas movies, I need more evil Christmas movies. Something like Eyes Wide Shut

I hate to call other people chronically online but “The American Dad yumeshipper started self shipping with Chris Hansen so hard they and captioned a post with a quote from an actual pedophile” isn’t a real sentence

TFW you want to complain about something but realize in the grand scheme of things who cares and it's not always about you and whatnot so you just fume quietly and vague-post instead.

We’re gonna get a gay holiday movie in theaters and the supposed fans of gay romance are upset because one of the actors had dating rumors with his co star and they wanted two other costars to have dating rumors instead ☹️ look at our fujos bruh
