There's always hope, even if the bleakest of moments

This is as tone deaf as the video itself but I commend you for sticking to your guts, maybe your husband and co. should do the same instead of waiting out the backlash in silence.

Glee fandom in the early 10s was magical because it was popular and had active subfandoms and juggernaut-level ships among all 3 of the shipping categories — slash, femslash and het — as well as a ton of non-shipping-focused fans, and every single one of those corners was full of the most insane, gas-leak discourse and drama. We had shipping morality fights before that became a thing in every fandom, we had people overly fixated on the actor’s’ personal lives and harassing their irl romantic partners, we had TJLC-level conspiracy theories. The works. It was the dark origin story for so many longtime fandom villains on this site like birdlawyer. It’s so much fun to reminisce about it with someone who was in a different corner of the fandom you were in (like I do with @quinnmorgendorffer who was primarily in the M/M corner while I was in the F/F one) and you can compare notes and learn about new levels of fandom insanity that you could never have imagined, and share your own war stories if you have ‘em. It truly was a formative experience. If any of my followers are also former Gleeks feel free to reblog this with your own wild tales of this terrible show that ate so many brains

Some of you are easily recognizable and some aren't because (like me) you have a completely unrelated username so drop your Twitter handles on my inbox or as a reply so I can mentally note who you are guys 😭

btw @taylahtalks exists but I am not yet using it because I may leave it for blog cross-posting
