Besties, babes, just a little piece of advice from your local disaster- when your teachers ask you what makes you happiest during a fun dumb icebreaker, “my antidepressants” is the wrong answer.

The whole ship hate strike thing is... not the best thing to happen in this fandom.
The problem isn’t POPULARITY. The problem is TOXICITY. The toxic people who run around posts which are not their ships? They have a lot to learn about respecting people. Heck, a lot of them are 11-12 year olds who are not educated in fandoms.
Personally, I don’t think bringing down ships to lift others up is that good of a method against toxicity, because it focuses on the wrong thing. What we need is to EDUCATE.
Who cares how popular a ship is? Leave them alone, find a group of people you enjoy being around (This applies to everyone, including the shippers of the most popular three.). Look at what’s happening right now. This whole strike has created more ship hate, not brought it down.
The Sanders Sides fandom is one of the best things in my life, and I don’t want some popularity contest to split people apart. I don’t want to start drama, I just want to find better ways of equally appreciating ships without having to downgrade them.
Let’s focus not on how popular a ship is, and more on the people who won’t tolerate a ship that is not their own. We are all people, let's not let our preferences affect the community.
The thing that I found very interesting about the ending of Lord of the Rings book version and movie version is that they both exemplify a different but meaningful aspect of post-war trauma, especially in the aftermath of the First World War, hinging particularly on the Scouring of the Shire, or the lack thereof.
In the book, the scouring of the Shire emphasises how even the quaint, idyllic, seemingly untouchable Shire can be broken and ruined by war. Even the Hobbits that had never really experienced violence or war have now suffered from oppression, enslavement, cannibalism (??), and a breakdown of sorts in society. It shows how the war of the ring had affected the entire Middle Earth, that no one could escape that brokenness, and how it traumatised even the home that the Hobbits had left to protect. In a similar way, soldiers who had fought in the Great War had to return to a home and peacetime that were grieving on a national, widespread level that no other war had achieved before. The First World War changed how Europeans mourned and memorialised a war, because for the first time in their particular history, parents lost their sons en masse, leaving them grappling with how in the world were they supposed to process this at once. And in the cases of France/Belgium/mainland Europe, their homes really were scoured, civilian families directly affected by the violence and slaughter of war.
In the movie, the scouring of the Shire is left out--made as a dreaded vision more than an actual event. The Hobbits return to a peaceful, ignorant Shire who treat them as if they had merely gone on a long journey and welcome them home as if nothing happened--but Frodo is never the same. He is welcomed back happily and goes back home, and he is still deeply broken by his experiences that his home cannot acknowledge and even his companions cannot understand. By leaving out the scouring of the Shire, the story reflects another aspect of soldiers returning from the Great War--the PTSD that civilians cannot understand. It deeply reminds me of the scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the narrator Paul Baumer goes home on leave and finds himself deeply frustrated and lonely and lost as he sees his family, his teachers, his pastimes that used to be his passion and finds that none of them can touch him anymore, like he no longer belongs in that world anymore. And soon, he will not. We set out to save the Shire, Sam, and we did. But not for me.
Do y’all ever feel like you’re not actually in the fandom and you’re just watching everyone from the outside or are you normal?
Am I the only person on here who makes a post and then gets surprised when it gets notes-

Lines from fics I will never finish:
I don’t know where I’ll go now, I can't go back home, home was never a place it was a person. My home was him, and I can't go home anymore.. because I don't have him.
“My parents shipped me off here to rot,” if he heard the way Keefe’s voice gave out he didn’t acknowledge it, “..and I guess that’s exactly what I did.”
"That depends, Cassius, is what you want to say going to be a waste of our time?"
Fitz laughed causing Keefe to look back at him, “you had a slight advantage though, you knew what she was feeling.” / “Yeah, but you knew what she was thinking.” Keefe countered.
“So make me understand,” Fitz offered, lowering his book slightly. Giving Keefe just enough attention to not scare him back into silence.
“I mean look how stupid his hair is?” / “How could you insult another mans hair right in front of me.” Tam puts his hand over his heart in mock hurt.
“Fuck you and your white privilege, Keefe.” / “I’m so sorry, quick someone punch me.”
“I love him so much I would spend the rest of my life hunting down every single thing that made him happy just to see him smile.”
“Are you about to be gay again?” / “It’s a full time job, Biana”
Do you like anonymous compliments asks better or compliment asks from your mutuals
The serotonin I get get someone reblogs a post and @’s me with a screenshot of my tags and says “how dare you leave this in tags” is unmatched
