Welcome to the Show

"Bear is the villain, okay. There's some, like, grabby headlines out there where it's like "Michael Johnston doesn't agree that Bear's the villain." And I'm, like, NO WAY! Hold on a second, Bear is the vil-lain. He made his choice. Maybe he didn't know [the wish] would work but the choices he made after that, he clearly shows that he was incapable of thinking about anyone other than himself." — Michael Johnston (Bear) talking about Bear's character on The Brandon Davis Show! OBSESSION (2026) Dir. Curry Barker

1. If you choose to openly support Black bloggers and people who discuss racism, you will be less welcome in fandom spaces. So if you ever intend to be popular or "drama-less", know that it comes at a cost. Having integrity will make you a better person, but lacking it will bring you numbers. (That's bitter of me, sorry, just figured you might as well hear it from me first).

2. Be respectful. There's this idea that everyone should be over-personal with people they don't know, but until you build relationships, these are strangers. Making over personal comments or jabs like someone's gonna ha ha is rude (to me).

3. If you want a friend, you gotta BE a friend. I think this one is self explanatory.
