Are people in fandom still in interested in building community?
It's so interesting to see how things shift and change. Fandom is like a living, breathing, growing, changing, dying organism—probably because it literally is. And I find it curious to see just how it shifts.
It seems like the newer people who've come into fandom recently approach it so differently than I did even two years ago. They don't have socials, they don't respond to ao3 comments, they don't have any interest in discord (which, in my experience, is the best place to find community.) And to each their own, but it's fascinating to basically watch the community aspect of fandom die with the existence of TikTok. That seems to be where most people engage with fandom these days. They don't comment on fics or respond to their comments on ao3, they comment and comment back on TikTok. They don't see a need for socials elsewhere, they just chat with people on TikTok. They don't have interest in making friends, they only have interest in getting people to read their fics.
Stats are becoming a drug that's on par with views on social media.
It isn't supposed to be that way. Fandom isn't supposed to be where you go to get capitalist validation, it's supposed to be where you go to get away from it.
And like I said, to each their own, but lately I've been missing bonding with people in the comment sections of their fics. Or making random friends through fests, or because we followed each other on tumblr.
Now it just feels like an empty room. But I guess, at least it's cozy.
I swear to god people who downplay the critique of never giving El a real name (and having her loved ones still use the NUMBER eleven as her "full name" when refering to her in the show mind you) because she "chose El as her name" are actually so fucking annoying. She did not choose anything, she is not a person because she does not exist. She cannot choose things because she is a character that was written by other people. I am discussing the WRITING of a CHARACTER, not the CHOICE of a PERSON for the love of god.
She also never even chooses the name El in the show itself! The farthest you can draw that line of thinking is that she technically chooses "being El over being Jane" when she goes back to save her friends in Hawkings instead of enacting revenge on the people who wronged her (aka. choosing love over hate) in the second to last episode of season 2, and that is a far conclusion that I genuinely do not believe they intended on audiences making. And yes, i know that you don't have to spell out everything in a show but given the importance of this arc to her as a character, it is genuinely weird and off-putting that they never make it into a real plot point and still have her loved ones refer to her by the number that were given to her in the lab that she was raised and abused in by the end of the show.
This post is not about looking down on fans who call her El btw! I specifically mean that it was badly written in the show itself. I just get so frustrated when people can't distinguish between discussions about the writing of a character in a tv-show and discussing the choices of a real person. Real people don't work in the same way that characters do guys, they don’t have arcs and they don’t follow patterns or have deeper meanings to be connected to. But she was written by people. And they did not write her well.
Really missing having community in fandom. I think thats why I haven't written much in a while. It was so motivating to have people around me that were writing feverishly, now it just feels deadened. *knocks on the bars of my cage and sings to the tune of Pink Floyd* is there anybody out there? nod if you can hear me?

i honestly think it would be really nice if they had eloises lovestory be connected to the working class again in her season, it would be a really interesting way to broaden the world as well as to not have her character go agains her previous personality and life goals as soon as she falls in love (as i've heard that's kinda the way it goes in her book). especially now that they've showed the view of the help, it could be a nice expansion of showing the diffrent sides to the society. it would also be a nice reflexion on the difference of a man marrying a lower class than a woman marrying a lower class with the differencing of backlash it would bring benedicts and eloises characters.
+ it would be nice to have her truly be understood by other characters in her interests and her fight for womens rights (as well as to have her actually be involved in the fight for womens rights) and to showcase a more in dephth view of the struggles in the fight for workers rights as well
Its been so long since I've had an irl best friend.
I think that's what really weighs me down at the end of the day. Like I miss my best friend but the last time she was in town she made time to see me only once. So that ship has effectively sailed.
I think that's all I really need, and sometimes I'm unsure if I'll ever have it again.
