#earnestposting

(if you want to know about me and this blog specifically, this is my about)

This little community we have, known as the Nickstorians or Nickblr, that has developed is due to us being fascinated by Nick, not because we share most (or in some cases, any) of his views. Most of us are to the left of Nick. The views I've heard from the people who have been involved on and off have ranged from sort of normie Republican (US-variety Republican, not European Republican LOL which I need to specify because we are international) to very far leftist, like anarcho-syndicalists, as well as a variety of religious beliefs. We're more a fandom-type or even tabloid-esque discussion community than a political one. If you want a political debate, his is not the community for that. We occasionally earnest-post about our beliefs, but that's more relegated to our personal blogs.

There are a lot of inside jokes we have, ex: posting mpreg Nick (inspired by that one monologue he went on about how men should have babies with each other) every time he cancels a show. If that sort of thing weirds you out, but you still want to follow us for whatever reason, I would advise getting Tumblr Xkit and blacklisting certain words.

We have developed a lot of lingo to refer to different aspects of Nick, like Nexuality or Nickservations, not to mention all the ship names (more on that in the next section).

We make lots of references to Nick being romantically involved with his friends/colleagues. Most of us do not think these specific things for certain happened (my own analysis of the guys people claim he has had sex with , one of my rare earnest posts, mostly end with "this probably didn't happen" for any of those specific guys, in case anyone wants to accuse me of looking at his friendships with shipper goggles. Most people around here largely agree with that assessment), but because this is a fandomesque space, there are references to things like calling Jaden McNeil Nick's ex-boyfriend or saying Melina Goransson took his virginity. It's rarely meant in a serious way, but don't be shocked by that stuff. On that note, people say obscene things sometimes. A few of us have written literal erotic fanfiction. If you are part of the groyper movement, you probably don't want to read that, but that's tucked away on Archive of Our Own and Wattpad, so it won't be posted here. On the other end, a lot of us think Nick might be asexual, so there's that.

If you want to know more about Nick in relation to his perception by the community, I advise going through this little resouce list made by the incomparable @nazalieee:

How cool is that? And I feel like that's a thing that Dan intended to happen, that boys will have increased access and dialogue about mental health.

And amazing amazing phil, his quirkiness and creativity is just incredible. I want my son to feel comfortable expressing his personality. He's a goofy little toddler right now and I hope he always knows he can be silly.

Whatever, I could write a bazillion fucking essays on how much dnp mean to me as a mum raising a little boy. They're not perfect people, but that's part of their beauty.
