Rockin’ Robin

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

dunno if it's something about this year in particular or just part and parcel of being 30-40 years old but it just sort of clicked lately that i don't need to spend time grieving the life i don't have for a variety of reasons and can instead dream of the life i can still have. it's not out of reach i just have to do it.

"the US will never be elite in soccer" the USWNT has never been ranked lower than fifth in the world btw. if you're bitching about how xyz country, region, or city will never succeed at [sport] but what you really mean is they'll never succeed at [MEN'S sport] i think you should probably stop talking

i can't make this complaint about NY basketball anymore bc the knicks managed to turn it around for the first time in half a century but for the past couple years this has been my main grievance with new york metro area basketball guys too. put some respect on the name sabrina ionescu or perish.

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?

''what if you regret it'' then you will expirience regret - a normal and unavoidable part of the human expirience.

the more you twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid regret the harder it will hit when it eventually catches up to you.

I think a fandom becomes more interesting when people are allowed to explore uncomfortable ideas instead of pretending they don't exist

Need one more to unlock the door

“Your days are numbered” yeah it’s called a calendar you fucking idiot.

the point of fanfiction is to write something so self indulgent that nobody else has thought of it before or cares
