#fandom etiquette

Popular person: “I think Bob likes the color blue, also I hate Craig. Craig seems like the type to spit in your sandwich at the deli and not help an old lady across the street.”

Another popular person: “I agree. Bob seems like a blue kinda guy, and I want to throw Craig in a blender.”

Everyone else: “Ooooo??? Popular person said this??? Popular person 2 agrees with them? Welp! It must be true! Better spread it around as canon!”

*These opinions are parroted by blog after blog after blog as fact for months on end and if you disagree, somehow that makes you wrong, even though it’s literally several people parroting one opinion and people too scared to share their actual opinion so they just pretend they agree due to how aggressive the fandom gets if you step outside of this one certain way to look at things.*

I KEEP SEEING LANDOSCAR ONES AND THESE AUTHIRS LITERALLY SAY DONT SHARE OUTSIDE OF FANDOM SPACES

Hey everyone! I wanted to take a quick moment to talk about fandom etiquette, especially when it comes to headcanons, creative writing, and fictional anatomy.

Lately, I've seen a bit of over-correcting in the community regarding fictional/supernatural elements, and I think it’s time for a gentle reality check:

Fantasy does not Real-World Biology: Characters like Sephiroth (or characters with angel, demon, or pegasus wings) are supernatural beings. They do not have to adhere to real-world bird biology. If someone wants to write about a character and their feathers, using magic or having a friend help them preen, that is completely valid!

Let Creativity Breathe: Fandom is a sandbox for imagination. Applying strict, literal scientific rules to fantasy tropes and policing others over them ruins the fun.

The Golden Rule of Correction: If you have a neat real-world fact you want to share, share it as a cool "fun fact!" rather than an objective correction. No one should ever be made to feel embarrassed or "wrong" for a harmless, creative idea.

Let’s keep this space supportive, imaginative, and kind. At the end of the day, we are all here to have fun with fictional characters we love. Let people write their magical headcanons in peace, just as you might expect for others to respect your own headcanons in peace.

before we even start, KEEP RPF INSIDE OF RPF SPACES!! (Ao3 and tumblr) DO NOT LIKE, DO NOT INTERACT!!!

I talk about rpf a lot on this blog. It’s one of the things I talk about, but I would like to clear up a lot of things before in case you ever question my thoughts on it and its morals.

never in a million years should my fics or posts on here reach outside of tumblr or ao3. I do not want to see my fics, or anyone else’s mentioned in TikTok, instagram or twitter or their comment section as those are not rpf spaces and are not respectful to the authors and put the real people in an awkward position. This shit stays here. There is a fourth wall not to be broken (fuck the Ferrari pr team who thought it was ok to invade fandom spaces!) IT SHOULD NEVER FIND THE REAL PEOPLE ITS ABOUT

if I find you doing that just know I will be under your fucking bed waiting for you / jk (but still be considerate of these guidelines!)

no, I don’t think these people are gay or dating or even have a crush on each other in real life. I am not hoping they dump their gfs/wives for rpf purposes. Be respectful of that. Everything in here is just a joke/satire and is not to be taken seriously for fucks sake.

I am not questioning or theorizing about the drivers actual sexuality, that is just weird. At the end of the day, they are all straight men. No that driver you are thinking of is not bisexual more then likely. Stop thinking it is okay to question someone’s sexuality.

all of my fanfics are for fun. They are a creative outlet and these millionaires are nothing more than a name and face claim for these characters I write about. I will rarely write about family members of the drivers, and I will never include any minors. All children featured in my fics are there for a brief time and are all original characters I made up on the spot, not inspired by anyone.

My goal is not to sexualize the drivers, that is fucking weird. Yes I do have an attraction to some of the drivers and I will express that. It is nothing more than a teenage girl having a celebrity crush. I do not harass and I do not want to date any of them irl. It is a small celebrity crush due to the fact I find them attractive. And yes I will write smut, again I am not imagining them, it is a character I have fabricated.

we don’t shame the wags here for impractical reasons. Unless it is moral reasons with terrible beliefs, that is fine. But over here we don’t hate on the wags and scrutinize them for such insignificant things. Get a life. I don’t talk about the wags a lot really, maybe some reposts but that’s it.

Do not come here to fetishize queer relationships. I find it weird that a lot of women and straight women in particular have become obsessed with gay men and will ask them invasive questions. That’s gross. And we don’t do that here.

we are not derogatory towards lesbians either. I do write fem! But I am not here to make it a fetish either! That’s fucking weird and don’t act weird when I talk about lesbians or not liking it when I do because that’s just misogynistic now you prick.

I don’t do gossip on any of the drivers private life’s. Idgaf. They are humans that need privacy and deserve that right.

at the end of the day it is all millionaire men who are privileged. But we still value respect and borders here.

keep it respectful and don’t cross any lines that do not need to be crossed,

Keep rpf in rpf spaces.

No we don't want you to make a landoscar edit and then post it on Instagram, tiktok and other non-rpf spaces.

We quite literally use Tumblr as an rpf safe space, and it is utterly disappointing that we have to remind you also to keep it in rpf spaces. We already have a huge issue with it and there have been several invasions recently into rpf spaces.

So for the love of God, KEEP RPF IN RPF SPACES!!!
