Apparently I have a thing for Darren...

the character everyone gets wrong

a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

worst discord server and why

which ship fans are the most annoying?

what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

worst part of canon

worst part of fanon

number of fandom-related words you've filtered

the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

worst blorboficiation

that one thing you see in fics all the time

that one thing you see in fanart all the time

you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

there should be more of this type of fic/art

it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

part of canon you found tedious or boring

part of canon you think is overhyped

your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

ship you've unwillingly come around to

topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

But... like... y'all...

Andre has spoken repeatedly about how much Darren meant during one of the hardest periods of his career.

Darren still talks about Andre with this ridiculous amount of warmth.

They're not just "former coach/player." They're former coach/player in the way that ends up with family holidays and lifelong friendship.

ARGH So close!

no but genuinely imagine explaining Darren Cahill/Andre Agassi to someone. (trust me, I've been trying!)

"they're coach/player?"

"well yes but also darren moved his family to vegas, andre kept paying him after retirement, their wives became friends, they helped each other with childcare, they're still part of each other's lives twenty-four years later..."

"...what."

a fandom is not dying as long as at least one person is still enjoying it and creating something about it.

His wings have never been particularly good at hiding him. They move before he thinks to, telling Darren what Jannik can't.

Darren has seen them hundreds of times.
