quick tip from someone who has been in fan spaces for 20 years: being enthusiastic about your rarepair and making your own stuff/engaging your fellow rarepair shippers will ALWAYS work better than yelling at people who enjoy a more popular ship about how bland their ship is

"I hate how people make everything about shipping instead of doing serious literary analysis" says person who could have started an interesting literary analysis discussion of their own if only they'd stop bitching about shippers for 5 seconds.
When I was in The Untamed | 陈情令 fandom, I wrote several meta essays that had nothing to do with shipping, and somehow, despite the fact that The Untamed is literally a romance and virtually everyone in the fandom is a shipper of the central romantic pairing, my non-shipping meta posts got plenty of positive engagement!
It's amazing how willing shippers are to join you in a non-shipping related discussion as long as you don't start that discussion by shitting all over them!
Let me put that another way:
It's amazing how willing people are to learn about your interests and point of view if you don't open the conversation by shitting on other people's interests, and implying that they're mentally incapable of appreciating a subject from more than one perspective.
If I could stop getting ideas for every single one of my fanfic projects while I am cleaning and cannot write, that would be AMAZING
sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"
I think one of the funniest things about how I tend to write, which is that it is slow until it isn't, semi sporadic, and I bounce between projects, led me to sit down the other day when trying to determine where to direct the writing bug. And I had a moment of "Okay, what do I want to try to complete by the end of the year."
It is July
I am planning for the next 5-6 months on what I want to write and finish before the end of December

This week's assorted fanfic research rabbitholes:
Reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Watching Blade Runner
A truly stupid amount of videos on the setting of Cyberpunk 2077 and Night City
What time radio show hosts would sign off in the 1930s
What would actual crime scene photos look like in the 1930s
How far a radio signal could potentially reach
Jack Benny
How did most weathermen/ meteorologists get their positions after WW2 in the USA
My editor is slobbering all over my hands
If this spider falls on me, I WILL cry
Sometimes I'll put mario kart youtubers on in the background while I'm writing fic. Very immersive for the mario fics lol
But I mentally tuned back in and heard them say "I think Burger Toad kills for fun."
Just had the thought that someone from the Chai Kingdom from Super Mario Land could be called Chai-nese and made myself sigh

"You cannot seriously think you can convince me that you aren't interested," Daisy continued, talking around a mouthful of her own pancakes. It would have been gross if Bowser weren't long desensitized to the sight and sound, and weren't guilty of it himself many times over. "I know you'd be good for it."
"What part of 'I need to keep my head down' are you not remembering?" Bowser huffed, eyes flicking up to look at her, burning red irises looking far darker under his brows. "Last thing I need is to attract attention from The Plumber." He stated the title in the single most derogatory way, mocking and derisive more than anything reverent. It was not fearful in any case.
Sometimes though, he did make Bowser a little uneasy. As to be expected, all things considered.
Daisy snorted. "What's he gonna do? Take a plunger to you?"
"He might. That is the stuff of nightmares. I don't want to think about whatever shitty situations that's been in," Bowser mused with a huff before shaking his head. "I don't need more problems though. Not the kind of problems that could get me retired, and I know that you don't exactly keep things above board."
"Me? You callin' me a troublemaker?" Daisy asked, acting aghast despite the smile on her face.
"I'm not calling you a trouble solver," Bowser snarked back.
The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?
Yea no, as an Asian American, after taking a step back I can totally see why the “angel” thing might be a bit icky actually. I think it as a sweet lil nickname is cute! Because a pet name can just be a pet name! But we should be very careful cause (although VERY OBVIOUSLY UNINTENTIONAL) it can tend to lean into “white savior” shit rq. We gotta check in with each other fr! Love yall.
Irredeemable
important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are
reblog if you're also lame and weird.
