guys let’s talk about being a michael jackson fan for a second 😭
coming from somebody who was VERY obsessed with michael jackson as a kid, continued listening to him later in life, and now after the movie my obsession has come back full force… i really don’t think we should be judging people who only discovered him because of the movie.
i saw somebody on tiktok acting like michael jackson was some niche underground artist “oh y’all only like him because of the movie” baby… that man had billions of fans before the internet even existed.
people will ALWAYS discover michael jackson. there are fans of his that haven’t even been born yet. 20 years from now there are gonna be people discovering him for the first time and loving him just as much as we do now. that’s what happens when your impact is that massive.
and honestly? discovering him through the movie is not a crime people discover artists through different things all the time:
parents, edits, youtube, documentaries, performances, movies, tiktok, literally anything.
BUT i also think it goes both ways. if you’re a newer fan, don’t come into spaces acting like you own him or like you’re somehow a “better” fan than everybody else. longtime fans shouldn’t be gatekeeping, but newer fans should also have respect for the people who have loved and defended michael for years.
everybody just needs to chill out and enjoy him because at the end of the day, isn’t that what michael would’ve wanted?
also PLEASE stop trying to gatekeep michael jackson songs i saw somebody saying “why did you edit him to this song i was trying to gatekeep it” and the song was HEAVEN CAN WAIT.
baby the entire planet knows heaven can wait
also little update 😭 i was supposed to write/edit today but emotionally i’m just not feeling the best right now, so i’m probably gonna spend most of the evening resting and relaxing instead of forcing myself to write when my heart’s not really in it.
BUTTT i do have a lot of ideas coming soon once i’m feeling better creatively
— “care to explain” where michael’s in an interview being forced to explain suspicious lyrics while his family keeps exposing him
— “the messiest man alive” because apparently michael jackson being messy and gossiping about everybody is one of my favorite things now
— the celebrity singer reader fic where the reader is just as famous as michael and everybody already knows they’re dating except THEM
— another protective michael fic but this time the reader is his wife
— the “trying on michael’s clothes and getting caught” fic from the poll 👀
— and moreeee
so don’t worry i haven’t disappeared my brain is still full of ideas, i just need a quieter day today <3
also if you guys have any ideas that could improve any of these fics or scenes you wanna see added into them, you can always send me a message or request i actually love hearing people’s ideas because sometimes y’all say something that completely changes the direction of a fic in the BEST way
