fuck you *they/thems your Character*

oh my gosh let's do the thing!!!!!!! <- character from hit series Don't Do The Thing

when you stumble upon a fic for the Fandom's Pet Crackship that has a interesting premise so you're like "ah what the hell I don't hate the ship might as well see what all the fuss is about" and then the fic is so good that it rewires your brain and converts you into a true believer so you go into the ship tag ready to read all the Fandom's Pet Crackship your heart desires only to find that the vast majority of it is off-puttingly out of character because apparently you won the fanfic lotto on the first try and now, knowing how good the ship can be when the characters remain faithful to their original characterization, you struggle to enjoy the crackship wishfulfilment the way it was meant to be enjoyed

I collect fandoms like I collect pretty rocks

"rp in minecraft is basically a ttrpg system" "video game rpgs are Games and ttrpgs are Systems" dnd homebrew is a disease: 'doing whatever you want and having no formalized structures to mediate social dynamics and fictional events during play besides the dead skelton of something not built for your original purpose' is NOT what a role playing game is. you don't even have roles in the Game. it's bad enough that we have to delineate play from non-play with strict terms but if you must use them can they actually mean something. for fuck's sake

I don’t even know what happened all I did was listen to play my way and now I’m amandaing my adventure AGAIN and now the THIRD GAME IS COMING like excuse me what. what subconscious timing was this
