Maybe it’s something mathematical?

I’ve been in fandom since *about* when Panic! formed and the adjective!character thing was already going strong, pretty sure it predates them.

100% born of bang paths. fandom has be floating around on the internet for six seconds longer than there has been an internet so early users just used the jargon associated with the medium and since it’s a handy shorthand, we keep it.

Absolutely from the bang paths–saw people using them in early online fandom back in 1993 for referring to things.

I had been doing it for a very, very long time but never actually knew the actual name for it. This is exciting! I like learning things.

I am very glad this has been going around so folks learn the Lore, but also let’s encourage it because then we get to say “bang paths” more often.

im shaking you by the shoulders and saying that no matter the state of the world, of politics, of the environment, of the economy, that it’s not all over yet and if it’s not over then there still hope!! don’t allow despair to cause you to give up the fight before it’s over, you haven’t lost if you haven’t given up yet. life is a constant struggle and people have always felt like the world was ending but they still got to wake up to a brand new day. they kept fighting and surviving, day after day, year after year, for so many generations!! that’s what us humans do and you are capable of doing it too

you have survived before, and you will keep on surviving, even if things feel like things are the worst they have ever been. this feeling of hopelessness is nothing new, you’ve been in situations that were hard to get overcome but you still got through them, just like every generation that came before got through their own problems. and you know that things were quite difficult in the the past, but people still kept trying, and there is something very human about this kind of hopeful endurance even in the face of so much hardship. because they knew deep down, that as long as we are alive, there is still hope.

tomorrow will be a new day, you should be here to live it, and see what it brings you, but until then, you need to rest tonight so you can try again
