Anxiety! at the Roller Skating Rink

"Waa why aren't fandoms fun anymore" because you keep policing people's headcanons, make fun of cosplayers,make fun of selfshipers, make fun of beginner artists and just make fun of people for having fun 😐

Also nobody talks to each other anymore. People lurk silently and sometimes like stuff, but nobody exchanges their thoughts and ideas anymore. Which is pretty shit considering fandom is a hobby that is supposed to be about community and not mere consumption.

The bullying and the lack of engagement has killed fandom for so many people I know. It’s a shame.

Tired college dropout comes back to her small hometown and starts working the counter at the VHS rental store - she loves all the lonely moms who are insecure about buying the porno tapes from the back of the shop, and they sure love both her recommandations and the breakroom sex on quiet week days.

She runs on caffeine and cigarettes but she's never tense, always gives her advice on which porn tape they should take home in the most matter-of-fact voice. They always start out trying to shyly flirt with her on her smoke break until she puts out her cigarette and says "I have 15 minutes before I open back up, can I give you head in the back?"

Her name is Lola, she's 5'10" and likes to wear platforms, she wears overalls or boiler suits most days with tank tops under them, she keeps her tobacco in a vintage metal box with a faded pin-up on it, she does know how to fix VCR players but she doesn't advertise that fact because she doesn't want to become the town’s repairwoman, she likes the sour candy that comes in long strips and she wears a bunch of rings that she has to take off to finger the MILFs during her breaks.

um yeah his name was Wheatley

personally? i enjoy being a fan of characters who have done Wrong. i like when a character is not a perfect victim, has hurt people, has transgressed, has done bad things. sometimes its nice to feel the sting yknow? and to recognize that a character is not a flawless perfect victim, but is deserving of understanding and compassion anyway. a lot of people in fandom refuse to let go of moral absolutism and its... rough.

great now name a female character you feel this way about in the next 30 seconds or another hostage dies
