I can barely use tumblr without it crashing and this ain't what I usually put on my blog but I dont care bc I'm excited and want to throw ideas into the void!!! So under the cut will be SPOILERS for Helluva Boss all episodes released to this day (9/9/23 having season 2 episode 6 posted and the date of me typing this post). Cool? Cool.
Edit: (its now 12/10/23 and I see I never posted this lmao its just in my drafts. Which I have like fifty of đ )
I read an ask over on @tsuki-no-uraâs blog today that sort of broke my heart and hit on some things Iâve been feeling and thinking. I agree with the anon that it feels like our fandom has become a worse place. The post I just reblogged touches on some of why I think that is. Also Ghostmartyrâs recent post was helpful as well in understanding the rampant negativity. The feeling of heartbreak that comes from crushed hopes and dreams generally doesnât allow for graciousness.Â
Itâs hard to avoid the negativity. Mantras like âdonât like, donât readâ and âstay in your laneâ are great, of course, but they only work if everyone follows the rule. Like the anon in Tsukiâs ask said, if you are online for more than a few minutes, if you dig even the slightest bit into the tags, youâll see something you regret and not everyone has the strength or the support group to let it go or ignore it. It hurts to see people willfully misrepresenting your favorite character or your ship community. Itâs hard not to take it personally.Â
The advice to build your own community is also good, but I understand how difficult this is. Not everyone has the confidence to slide into another persons dms to start the process, and many long timers in the fandom are understandably cautious of befriending new people. It can take years to find people you can safely laugh and cry (and vent) with. Until you do, you are sort of adrift in the wider fandom with all its issues.
Regarding ship wars, I feel like here on tumblr they most often take the form of meta blogs that devote the majority of their time to denigrating other ship communities. While they may officially hold the attitude of âship and let shipâ, the number of disingenuous anons they answer and the sheer abundance of replies that focus on straw man arguments or else attempt to paint an entire rival community in a negative light is honestly astonishing. Â
I donât know what to say about those. Just. Yeah. Itâs disgusting and dishonest. I hate it too. Also I know as a meta blog I shouldnât be casting stones. Glass houses and all that. But Iâve tried very hard not to do that. Iâm obviously not perfect in this regard but I feel pretty confident that if you look at the 4356 anon asks Iâve answered, there are only a handful that could be considered casting shade on anyone. I get bait daily. It would be so easy to fall into that trap. But itâs such a shitty thing to do.
Tsukiâs reply to the anon was perfect of course and I could sympathize with her feelings. That need to be careful and constantly censor yourself is something I can relate to. Thereâs also the awareness that no matter how hard you try or how careful you are, someone somewhere (or maybe a lot of someones) are going to view you poorly because your ideas are inconvenient to them.Â
I donât have any solutions here. I just read that ask and wanted to let people who are hurting because of fandom negativity know that I see them and Iâm sorry. It sucks. Itâs exhausting. All those things. You arenât crazy. You arenât alone. You arenât weak. You arenât overly sensitive. You are human.Â
I hope you find things that make you happy, like Tsuki said, either by reading your favorite fic for the hundredth time or focusing on the humor, art and shitposts that are also fandom staples. At least that part of fandom never changes.

When ur soulmate gets angry at you so you decide to have a mental breakdown and kill some people while planning to kill more
Seriously, there were so many âquirky fan thingsâ that I thought were exactly that--quirky fan things--until I became an English major and learned, yeah, no, thatâs actual literary stuff, and it is valid. Â
Applying ideas from one fandom to another? Â Thatâs intertextuality. Â
Headcanons, self-inserts, role play, or connecting heavily to a character? Â Just an extension of Reader Response Theory. Â
Fixating on one specific aspect of the story, like setting, or wondering what would happen if that one aspect was different (i.e. an AU)? Â Thatâs looking at text through different lenses and examining how things like history and location and world-building shape the narrative.
Imagining and obsessing over all the thoughts/feelings/details behind a particular scene? Thatâs close-reading and looking for larger themes and symbols.
