Coming into a fandom late
Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck
Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie
Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.
Accuracy at its best
Being in a fandom and not even knowing there’s a war going on…
all of this shit…lol
When You’re Not In The Fandom But You’re Nosy AF
When you get into a fandom only to discover it’s dead
This gets better every time I see it.
@fuboos-mess
Being in a dead fandom…
Or being in such a tiny fandom that it feels like youre the only one
The accuracy hurts.
Being in a fandom that had a shit ending.
When you’ve been fangirling long enough, you’ve experienced all of the above.
Being in a fandom meant for kids.
This just gets better..
@mi-kleos
When you realize that joining the fandom has ruined you
Fandom hell in general
Yes.

Being in so many fandoms that you don’t even know what’s going on
THIS IS THE SKULDUGGERY FUCKING PLEASANT FANDOM IN ONE POST!!
Trying to recruit people to your fandom
Annnnnnndddd it’s back
Being in a fandom which has so many antis
I’ve probably reblogged this before, but that was before these great additions.
Being in a fandom that actually works together
Why is this so true? All of it.
being in a fanbase but all your mutuals suddenly turn into Kpop blogs
I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.
Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions
When you are in a fandom and don’t care for others people opinion…..even if they are right…(believe me, I have met several of those)
Being in a fandom you never meant to join
I love this. and it’s gotten better
After abandoning a fandom you’re still a little bit emotionally invested in….
All of these are me. Lol
Being in a fandom on Tumblr
And it reached its epic conclusion
I CHOKED ON FUNDIP
HISTORY HAS BEEN ENGRAVED INTO THIS POST
I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.
Rest in peace, Anthony Stewart Head (1954 – 2026)
hey so anyone else just, feel thin. sort of stretched. like butter scraped over too much bread. like you need a holiday. a very long holiday. and you don't expect you shall return? or is that just me and bilbo baggins
After almost 25 years I finally got dad to watch LotR with me and yeah...
it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
Currently rereading The Hobbit, and I swear it's like Tolkien took every antisemitic stereotype and caricature that was being used to dehumanize Jews during this time and put them onto the dwarves but turned them on its head to make them traits to be admired. I already knew he was a badass for telling the Nazis to go fuck themselves, but this just makes me love his work more.
It gets better.
Jews of the time still criticized Tolkien for having all his dwarves have all those characteristics. So when he wrote The Lord of the Rings, he specifically wrote Gimli as a noble warrior who has no interest in gold and cares more for artistry and beauty.
There's this bit from Fellowship of the Ring:
whats significant about this passage is that Galadriel's words here- "Dark is the water"- are an exact mirror of words Gimli himself said about Khazad-dûm in an earlier chapter. So when the Fellowship leaves Lorthlórien, Galadriel has no gift for Gimli, and asks what gift the Elves could give him. His response:
and then there's this bit about the Glittering Caves in The Two Towers. It's not a 180 of what was established in the Hobbit, but it builds on and fleshes out the Dwarves immensely and it's one of the most beautiful passages in the boom
Context: just after the siege of helm's deep when Legolas and Gimli are reunited after the battle, Gimli spent some time in the caves under the Hornburg, and this is what he has to say about it:
Gimli is absolutely my favorite of the fellowship, or at least everyone besides Frodo and Sam.
No but imagine if you met an immortal being and they told you in Biblical Hebrew about the time they visited the first and second temples and how magnificent they were
rest in peace to this diva

i do love when some insane doctor who thing happens and briefly my dash is full of dw posts from those of us who rarely post dw. periodic family reunion. or family funeral
I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person
BUT
a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."
#such a good summation of this actually#because yeah there’s usually things that were always present#but which were easy to overlook or give the benefit of the doubt#that suddenly become relevant after a revelation about the creator#and it’s really not the same thing as the self-defensive “’I never liked it anyway’

it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.
if I said I was going to a taekwondo class would you feel the need to tell me kicking people on the street is bad or.

i have to say tho i am feeling more sympathetic towards RTD than most people seem to be. calling in Billie Piper was, by his own admission, a desperate hail mary to avoid the show looking like it had no future. i would imagine the lack of a script is bcos he was never u know paid to write one rather than bcos he simply didn't bother. man doesn't work for free and he has other projects on the go.
i can see why he opted not to come up with a formal plan for the special until he got confirmation that he was definitely going to be writing it. & i do get why from a PR perspective he opted to act like everything was OK rather than publicly be like 'we have no plan'. i don't think he's the real villain of this story.
like to my understanding the root cause of everything going wrong right now is the Disney deal going south and I don't think the Disney deal was his idea nor do i think it going poorly was necessarily his fault. yes he could have made a better 2.5 seasons of dr who but the most Reviled part of it (Reality War ending) happened because Disney was refusing to commit to a third season. so uh. yeah.
i don't think this is a story with a clear individual villain tbh like i don't blame Disney for pulling out as clearly they anticipated this being a more profitable venture than it was and I don't blame the BBC for entering into the Disney Devil's Bargain in the first place as clearly they were financially struggling to make the show. im not really convinced RTD doing a better job would have salvaged the situation.
