The Bold Type (when is it coming back)

Black Sails (thank u for introducing this show to me! i spent weeks trying to convince my coworkers to watch the show about the gay pirates so i could have more ppl to talk to about it anjcdsamaks)

someone send me an ask about my other tv faves pls

nagron? as in spartacus??? i only recently watched the show and im thankful i wasn't around for the fandom because i heard some really shitty things happened

YEAH

so Spartacus is actually my fandom origin story lol. my spartacus blog was (is) @gaygreekgladiator, and it was via my love for rarepairs that I met @antiquecompass, @canadiansuperhero, and @floorlimes, who then spent several years going “hey you should watch the hbo war shows.”

there were A Lot of issues with that fandom... like don’t get me wrong, it was also FUN. and it was really really active in terms of producing content, and it was great watching the show as it aired. but there were a couple of toxic people (including Dan Feuerriegel’s actual manager [also there was a time I could spell his last name without looking it up but ALAS that time has passed]).

I actually don’t even know what the first problem was? someone vagueblogged about people in the fandom being self-righteous or w/e, and got a bunch of anxious people being like “wait who are you talking about, are you talking about me?” and complained about it. I basically pointed out that, well, yeah, that’s sort of what happens when you vagueblog, and they reblogged a gif insinuating they would like to punch me in the face, then confirmed via twitter that I was the original person they were talking about. and a whole bunch of people agreed that they couldn’t stand me for reasons unclear.

ANYWAY. I also had a tendency to point out rampant misogyny and rape culture-y stuff (tbf, not always in the most polite way, I’ve mellowed out in the years since), which was a problem for some people, though not necessarily that original clique, I don’t remember.

but the big thing was when War of the Damned started airing, and Nagron fans went apeshit over Castus. the FIRST clip that was released was the one of him flirting with Nasir in his first appearance, at the party, and it ended with Agron punching him, and already people were like “He’s a fucking sexual predator trying to break up our OTP” and I was like “um, he was flirting with a cute guy and Nasir seemed really flattered?” annnnnd things escalated from there. people really, really hated Castus. His tag was like 80% hate. and like, Agron was kind of a dick for a lot of the season, and people WOULD NOT acknowledge it, so yeah, my appreciation for the ship cooled for a while.

anyway, I maintain that Nasir seemed genuinely flattered by most of Castus’s flirting with the sole exception of his “okay, enough” scene in the woods.

haha I just deleted my reblog of the first ask meme because there were some cringey questions on it so I will answer this for the third one I reblogged - apologies if that’s not the one you wanted me to answer.

15. which new ship/fandom has taken over a lot of your time, attention, and tears?

KILLJOYS! thanks to @dirkqentlys nagging me about it I decided to watch and I enjoyed it a lot? like, omg, for about three weeks straight I just had killjoys feels and was making only killjoys stuff and writing killjoys fic. flarrow whomst? but since the season finished I haven’t had that buzz and I doubt I will until it comes back, whenever that is.

27. have you done anything that scared you?

deciding to quit at that law firm and then quit law altogether. that was - one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make and I still don’t know if it was the right one. but actually going and have that conversation with my supervisor was just really fucking scary.

37. If you could have a do over on one thing you did, would you take it?

maybe graduation? I didn’t have a whole lot of friends at uni but I do wish I got to speak to more of the law students in my year. meg was very nice to drive me there and stuff tho and also help me put on my killer heels lmao. but I think my family got the impression I had no friends in my year, which is semi true, maybe, but I did know people and get on with them and I wish I got to see them. but I was so caught up in the hustle and bustle of taking photos and all that that I didn’t get a chance. also it was raining at one point which did not help.
