#i know irl are not involved in fandom

[lyxchen]

Okay look, so I always secretly want people to ask me about my phone wallpaper because it's always like pictures or gifs of my favorite characters or sometimes actors and I really wanna talk to people about my blorbos but they Never Ask Me :|

And so right now I have Daniel Sträßer as my lockscreen because I'm a lil big Spatort girly and he's pretty. And all of a sudden so many people when they see my lockscreen are like: who's that? and I have to tell them that it's a Tatort actor and then the person asking me always gets so confused cause like: why do you watch Tatort? and I don't know how to explain myself and hhhh i just wanna talk about my favorite cuties okayy??

#also i'm not at all mad at people asking me because like i said secretly that's what i want #but i never know how to explain why i like that One tatort so much #and i can't really start with: well it's very gay that's why i like it #also adam is my poor little babymaus and i love him so much #but i have a lot of straight friends and i'm not so close with them that i'd be comfortable talking about this and also most of the people #i know irl are not involved in fandom #so i can't exactly explain and i'll just be like: well... i like the characters #and at that point people don't really care anymore so it doesn't matter anyways #idk where i'm going with this #but #if we ever meet irl please ask me about my lockscreen because i'm dying to talk to someone about my blorbos!!! #spatort #tatort saarbrücken #lea's random thoughts

i've often yearned to be in a romantic relationship, from when i was pretty young to now even though i now recognize that i'm aromantic and it's not something i actually want when push comes to shove. and this probably isn't anything profound, but i've started to wonder recently if i'm actually yearning for a romantic relationship or if i'm yearning for a deeply meaningful, intimate, and loving relationship with somebody who i can trust and show all the parts of myself and know that they'll always be on my side and spend the rest of my life with, and society has just told me over and over and over again that i can't have that without the romance

#now i know what you're thinking: #'hey jay you talk a lot about queerplatonic relationships and how they're important #and you talk a lot also about how friendships are just as intimate and loving as romantic relationships' #and yeah i do! recently i've been involved in fandom spaces where we talk about these things (like malevolent) #with a lot of other aspec people who share their own experiences (esp. with malevolent with the aro!arthur headcanons) #but i've always been really bad at actually integrating that stuff into how i go about my own irl life #and tbh ... even if it crossed my mind before i never really thought it was a realistic thing to want yknow? #the thought of 'well who's going to give you what you want out of a relationship and be okay with it *not* being romantic' #has definitely crossed my mind many times #but idk! i've always just really wanted that One Person Who Will Be With You Always that i saw growing up irl and in media #and that i still see and love and want #and i still don't know if i personally will ever find somebody who i want that with who won't be looking for romance #but it's finally started to sink in i think that what i want and who i am are not two conflicting forces #i can want all the things that a romantic relationship has to offer (minus the romance of course) *and* i can be aromantic #and these are two things that can coexist #and that real people have! and that i'm seeing written into media! (malevolent my beloved) #it's just helped me wrap my head around all of this a little bit better #personal

once upon a time i liked a ship for what it was and then i saw how the fandom treated it and now i have visceral hatred towards it (harsh but not far off)

#leah.txt #normal i swear #it’s like i’m just so tired of seeing it and i think it’s cause a lot of the time people mischaracterise the characters involved so often #when talking about it and i hate it. i’m being vague cause don’t want it showing up anywhere. but like in canon the concept is so good and #so juicy even though i am not really a fan of like enemies/lovers kinda tropes. slash cause it’s more lovers to enemies but were always #technically enemies but real bonds formed on accident and that always runs deep even after the fact etc etc it’s such a good ship in concep #and then you see the fandom and go ah you’ve made it insufferable to me now. it gets reduced to just like the most i mean fandomy shit #it happens so often with me now that it’s like i need to not look at tags ever actually akdjsjsksns #so so vague but the concept of falling in love and fraternising when you shouldn’t and so many elements of you are going to betray this #person when the time comes but you can’t help falling for them and the other side being i shouldn’t be falling for this guy he’s my #superior officer but it’s like no he’s actually not and he’s a mole and he’s going to kill you all off. and then running for him when he #gets injured. that’s so. even after he tells you that you what his plans were. still caring. but like. out of anger and hurt you bruised hi #ego and insulted him and that starts big revenge run of like someone who can’t take criticism or being made to feel lesser… but you have to #hunt him down even if you still hold feelings for him he is everything you stood against and were fighting and now you’re fighting him when #you loved him. irl you know i hate this shit and betrayal and lying and all that you know this i’m just talking in fiction it’s got so many #layers. having to kill the man you once loved because he became everything he was against and he developed delusions and lost his mind. IT #HURTS. then you look at the fandom and it’s like teehee they’re just soooo gay gay homosexual and it’s like. this ship has layers. it’s lik #an onion. but okay. and it’s always just like i mean the gross people come out with the really gross fics with it but like omg it’s such a #good ship in concept with lovers becoming enemies when they shouldn’t have been lovers in the first place because it was a sort of forbidde #setting. the captain and his subordinate. captain who is actually a mole and going to betray these people who he has unintentionally formed #some bonds with. actually learning they are on opposing ends. the man they saw as fair and just and cool is a liar a manipulator a scheming #bastard who is only doing things out of self interest BUT HE GOT FEELINGS. it’s so arghghhhggggg and that’s why the criticism hits deeper #cause it’s someone he cared about and it’s so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #like there’s a reason it’s the most popular ship because i mean they are literally each others narrative foil lmaooo but like the fandom #just somehow makes it weird a lot and i’m 🧍🏼 why guys why #and what i mean by gross people and gross fics is what a lot of people do to villains doing to others even when they aren’t like that. you #guys are just nasty and gross and need to not share things like that <3 #i feel like it's a lot of just fetishising two men being together rather than focusing on their dynamics and characters

[musical-chick-13]

My God I am so tired of people only talking about mental illness and/or disability in fiction/as a literary theme when they can use it to back up their terrible male faves by saying that they Weren't That Bad, Actually and They Belong To A Marginalized/Unfairly Demonized Group, So You Need To Be On Their Side.

#it's like the 'oh this female character is a lesbian' thing that people do to get her ''''out of the way'''' of a given m/m pairing #in the sense that they put this idea/headcanon/etc. out there and then never actually DO anything with it #there's no meaningful engagement with that idea and it's so often only done in service of the men #and is so clearly not rooted in any kind of actual understanding of what that life experience is or a genuine desire to see it explored or #represented. like I know. I KNOW. that I talk about this ad nauseum I /KNOW/ okay. #but I will never know peace until we can ascribe these headcanons/identities/life experiences to characters in a way that #doesn't just involve defending or propping up the (frequently horrible) widely-considered-attractive fictional man du jour #I will forever be discontent if we keep doing this thing where we only bring up mental illness/disability when a popular fictional man #is mean and unpleasant as a way of ''''explaining'''' that behavior #(don't get me started on the way people ACTUALLY treat male characters who are CANONICALLY mentally ill/disabled and DEFINITELY #don't get me started on how they treat ANY woman in fiction-or irl let's be honest-who even shows POTENTIAL HINTS of being these things) #...sorry I said that once I saw irl people I'd probably have less of an Urge to Complain but I guess I was wrong #In the Vents #mc13 once again gets frustrated with how mental illness/disability is treated in fandom spaces #(and everywhere) #my fucking god remember when people tried to keep saying that [redacted] was a neurodivergent/mentally ill icon truly I lost #at least half my braincells over that #*sigh* I gotta get over these Symptoms™ so that I can finish my River Has O/C/D fic

[semperama]

I'm sorry, coming from the fandoms I came from, I find the F1 fandom's definition of "lack of content" so funny.

#to clarify because i just realized it was unclear: i meant lack of IRL interaction between people you ship #my past fandoms included one that was sustained by two press tours four years apart #and one where all the people involved have been dead for YEARS #the fact that you know all these people are in close proximity to one another most weeks for like nine months out of the year #is already an incredible buffet of content #from my perspective

[gae-bolg-alternative-dot-exe]

Did you hear about the uproar in the genshit fandom with people complaining about all the prostitute Mona fanart that divulged into attacking irl sex workers in general?

god forbid women and sex workers in Mondstadt do anything

#I don't get involved with genshin or fandom at all but good for Mona #I know sex worker mona isn't an actual thing but honestly I don't think there is anything wrong with the concept #and honestly being a sex worker on the side while still normally going around and kicking ass is kinda rad #especially for something as conservative as genshin #there will always be those people that can't separate porn/sex work/etc from moral purity #they liken all sex work even in fiction to the extremity of irl rape #and it's kinda just a pain in general to debate with those kinds of people #because there are for sure cases where sex workers are trapped in a system of abuse #but there are also plenty of cases where the sex workers are not #it's a case by case issue; demonizing all sex work doesn't help #ask #anon #Mona #Genshin Impact #but going back to your question no I didn't hear about any discourse; its a new thing everyday

[moonlitfantasyblr]

yes it's almost a year since the show first released. yes none of us is over this show. yes someone should probably do a study on it.

#rn i was feeling very anxious and stressed about irl things so love my cute lil comfort show for distracting me again #i don't really keep up with the cast but the tag is filled with ohmnannon's tweets and insta posts and theyre holding a rewatch party??idek #glad to know everyone involved in the show is literally one of us when it comes to never getting over bbs #personally im living for the fandom being active again coz the memes and analysis posts are >>>> #atp if this show doesn't get a special ep or s2 when we live in a capitalistic world and the show is still this popular then #hats off to p'aof and the creators of the show lol #bad buddy #fyi back in 2021 this ep apparently trended with around 150k or smth

[6ebe]

the experience of being a fan of something with no fandom presence is both maddening and liberating

#on the one hand. it can be nice to be (forcibly) less online #my aim with myself is to be less parasocially involved so a lack of fandom helps with that #I also have great irls who I speak to abt this so that’s lovely. and arguably healthier / more fun in a way #but then it’s also frustrating when I like make an edit or joke that I know would objectively do numbers #but all I can do is send it to my 2 friends who are interested in the sport and that’s it lol #well and I spend half my time on the subreddit

[bublp0pr]

you're lonely? join a club!

searching for clubs: "what are your interests?"

shit. forgot to collect some of those

#internet fandoms count for making internet friends but irl connection? Not as likely #i'd like to say i write and draw and read but joining a club about those things #would involve me having actually DONE those things in the past month instead of wishing i was the kind of person who did regularly #hypocrisy at its finest #and i'm proud to be ace and acknowledge that as part of the queer community but so much of the lgbt+ stuff is about #finding potential partners or supporting people with their struggles coming out or figuring out their identity #when i kinda already know who i am and unfortunately am probably too heteroromantic for what they were hoping from a queer gathering #there's board game meet up groups? But they're loaded bags because who knows which “game” they'll be playing #or the actual age range their targeting for that matter

I used to only use Twitter for following what was going on politically but I’ve somehow managed to follow a bunch of fandom people so now my timeline will be an absolutely devastating human rights violation followed by a photo set of Jack Wolfe being adorable and it’s very confusing

#Im mostly fandom on here with only a touch of politics so I got used to the vibes #but not on Twitter so it’s been strange #started with Taylor and now I’m heavily involved in six of crows Twitter #thinking about making a new Twitter with this name so I can get involved #cuz normal people I know irl follow me on Twitter and they’re probably already confuse by all my likes #i don’t need them seeing me in my full derangement #plus this is my fandom username for fandom purposes and I wanna keep that consistent

[nunap]

I think that this episode of chans room and something that happened to me irl made me v aware that i need to take several steps back from the mindset I have for chan and skz now

#I'm not a teen and I've been here before i can get v hyperfixated and care a lot even if i know i shouldn't i say I'm only here for music #and looks and somehow end up emotionally involved and unhealthy in to deep and it's wrong i shouldn't give a shit. these are court jesters #these people should be merely human just entertainment for me and i shouldn't even know their fucking surname and yet every time i fail #but as much as it's idols and kpop fault to create parasocial bonds i am old enough to know better and i have irl stuff to care about not #some fucking rich af singer in korea and his mates which are his props #people who care more about success than fatphobia or colorism or giving wrong ideals to young kids #kpop and korean mentality r mostly trash and th more aware people know and leave and it bothers me that these people are the new rolemodels #I'm glad that even younger stays in particular after the dumb ones finish blabbing are reasonable enough i think this fandom is p balanced #yet i will try my best to become even more a casual fan and stop caring about people as we all should and perhaps learn my lesson AGAIN #cause in the end they don't care about me nor u and don't even want u to care about them so lol bitch be careful what u wish

[moltengoldveins]

ok but I have Thoughts about the way Minecraft usernames translate to actual names, both irl and in fanfic. They’re definitely ‘obsessed with structure and grumpy at inconsistency flavor autism’ thoughts but still. I find it weird how we cut and paste the media we’re given to fit what we view as functional worldbuilding, and how that gets screwy when translating online names.

like, you’re working with several categories here. The person’s actual real name, their irl nickname, their gamer tag, a name possibly contained by or possibly the entirety of that gamer tag, and any extra pieces or symbols in the gamer tag. And you have the weird situation where those categories might not easily translate to a ‘First Name Last Name’ structure. For an example, we’ve got Phil Watson, who’s gamer tag is ‘Ph1LzA,’ and is called Philza Minecraft or Philza. The ‘Minecraft last name’ is a…. Bit? A joke? A reference to a bit of lore? It’s unclear. The ‘Za’ bit was put there for flair and is now an integral part of his name. Sometimes it’s his last name. Sometimes his real last name is chucked in there. the 1 in his actual username is literally never referenced in nicknames or fic it’s like it’s not even there. But that’s a simple one. What about Tubbo_? because we call him Tubbo Underscore. Like. We say the ‘_’ aloud. Why do we do that. What has possessed us to make that decision? What about FitMC? I’ve usually heard it said ‘Fit Emsee.’ Why say that, and not say ‘Minecraft? That’s not even really a last name, it’s just like…. His full first name. Fit is used more like a shortened nickname. BadBoyHalo. Like. ‘Bad boy’ is a slang term, not a name. It would make the most sense to call him Halo, that’s the distinct noun in the name, the term the ‘bad boy’ bit is referring to. Like ‘GoodTimesWithScar’ but noooo. Bad. Halo is usually a last name, if it’s there at all. Skeppy on the other hand is… just his name. No last name ever. Technoblade is also weird. Technoblade is his full name. We call him that. We ALSO call him ‘Techno,’ and use Blade as a last name. We also use Blade as a title. What the heck. GeminiTay. We call her Gem. We use Tay as a last name sometimes. Her name is a Zodiac constellation. Literally nowhere I’m have I seen that affect her naming conventions. IJevin. We just… remove the I. For everything. This wouldn’t bother me except we don’t do it with everyone and I’m starting to get annoyed by the inconsistency. GoodTimesWithScar. Ok. This one also bugs me. Like, most fics call him Scar Goodtimes when they need a name. I’m not gonna dig into it but that’s…. Why? Why that? Grian never gets a last name. Ranboo sometimes gets chopped into Ran and Boo but usually he’s an Underscore or he’s last nameless. Wilbur Soot functions wonderfully (until the get involved shhhh) but it’s too close to his real name it gets very confusing.

anyway, all of this sucks, I hate it all, we’re a terrible fandom /hj

all that nonsense aside, yknow who has a functional Firstname Lastname username? It’s even got a space, and proper capitals: Mumbo Jumbo. That’s who. Look at that. It’s perfect. Everyone should be more like Mumbo Jumbo. Thank you and good night.

.

Edit: I know about Ranboo Beloved and Grian Dreamslayer and the various other characters whose names I didn’t mention perfectly in this post. This was no piece of journalism, this was an old man shouts at cloud meme personified. I was very overstimulated and this was what happened to catch my autistic ire. I’m not upset, just figured I’d clarify, a lot of people seem distressed at my not mentioning Beloved. Hope y’all are having a lovely day 💜

PSA - Community Predator

Over a series of months, myself and other Tumblr users -- fic writers, gif makers, fans of created content -- have been victimised by @mrkdvidal1989, who has extensively lied about who he is, preyed on multiple women and denied involvement -- therefore ruining friendships, reputations and feelings, and promised me life-saving medical treatment that he never followed through on.

More information including mine and their stories under the cut.

The reason I am going public with this is twofold:

A) To protect others from being hurt. He is known to reach out to many tumblr users, especially young women in the Cillian Murphy fandom -- but he may have a wider reach beyond this circle. B) Since his "disappearance" three weeks ago and the unravelling of his lies, this man has ruined my life and the only hope I had of obtaining treatment for a condition that has been plaguing me for four years.

Killian Vidal is the name he has chosen to give us, and has claimed to be both a officer commander and general in the mobility troop in the SAS (the general rank does not even exist), has beaten cancer a while ago (but said to another mutual that his "time was running out" and he is currently struggling with it), and a plethora of other life experiences and general knowledge about him that varies in consistency when talking to different people and is questionable in its validity. He has also shared pictures of "himself" that when reverse image searched, belong to different people.

I got to know Kill when he reblogged one of my fanfics (as the story seems to start with a lot of his victims) and he reached out via DMs. We quickly became close friends who called nearly every day on Discord and when I told him about my health issues, he immediately offered to pay for my medical treatment wherever I could find willing doctors.

I was hesitant to believe this at first since all of this seemed too good to be true (and was). He claimed to be very wealthy, enough to afford private jets like it was nothing and to rent me an apartment in the UK in the same building as him. Over time, I grew to trust him because he felt like such a genuine person and friend, which was made all the more believable by the fact that he has such a huge following on Tumblr and was, at the time, part of a vast social network of fans and friends (one of which he even claimed to know IRL -- who will remain anonymous unless they decide to speak out). I decided to ignore the little red flags because I was so desperate to receive this treatment that for me would be life-saving.

For four years, I have been plagued by an array of (mostly) undiagnosed digestive issues that have made my life almost unbearable and have on numerous occasions nearly killed me due to malnutrition. I've spent months in hospital, endured years of malpractice and misdiagnoses, undergone heart surgery, and have tried absolutely everything I can to get better. In the winter of 2023, I was told by my doctor that I was refused in the TPN program (a treatment that may have slowed or stopped my weight loss) and that with or without it, I was looking at mortality. Refusing to stop fighting but having exhausted the public health care system in Canada, I went into 2024 not really having much hope of anything anymore.

So, when Kill came along, that changed. He promised -- and I mean, from the bottom of his heart, promised -- that he would help me get treatment, that he would get me out of my abusive home and fly me to the UK, that he would be there for me as my friend, etc. I was beyond grateful, and as my trust with him built, so did my hope.

The travel plans kept getting put off; originally, he would fly me out as soon as the apartment became available, which was the 11th of Feb, 2024. He kept finding excuses to not book the jet. Finally, it seemed as if around the 15th/16th I would be flying. My health had been declining rapidly and the situation was becoming all the more urgent, and he said he was in contact with a pilot and would send the ticket soon and call me.

That was the last I heard from him. The 16th.

Initially thinking he had ended his life (he had discussed thoughts of suicide with me prior to this), I was beside myself with worry not only thinking one of my closest friends was gone but also that my chance at life was. I reached out to his other friends, and I made several calls to the UK authorities and emergency services and ended up requesting a welfare check be made to see if he was even alive.

They reported that no one under the name Killian Vidal was in the records of the building name he gave me -- the same building that I was meant to live in within that week.

After reaching out to my now beloved friend @kittenonpluto (A.K.A., Cas) on Tumblr, I learned that Kill was in fact alive, and had told her that he was in hospital for digestive issues in Indianopolis, United States (though again, no record of his name in their medical system). He still wouldn't talk to me, but told her to tell me that he would reach out when he was out of hospital.

Cas and I compared information he'd told us (her story will be attached to this post) and looked into the mystery more. He constantly dodged confrontation and questions about the fake photos and information he'd sent her, and seemed to use his completely fabricated hospitalisation as an excuse to not fulfil his promises to myself and her, as well as a means to garner sympathy.

It was quite obvious that he didn't know how the American medical system worked, and he even incorporated elements of my actual story and used them in his. When asked about his treatments, he responded with medically false information. He reported digestive issues, reflux, and having both an NG tube and TPN -- both of which I have experience with -- and let me say, I am beyond disgusted and infuriated that my real life trauma was used as a ploy in all this.

How do we know for a fact this is false? I checked the police case for his welfare check again, and they said that they confirmed him being in the UK at the same time he had told Cas he was in hospital in the States.

After a final confrontation from both Cas and myself (and a desperate final plea for the medical aid he promised me), he was never heard from again from either of us or our friend circles.

I'm now having to pick up the pieces he's left me in and to be honest, I have little to no idea of what the hell to do or how to save myself. The fact that he strung me along for a month and built up my hope that I was going to live only to abandon me without even a word is deplorable to me.

And mine isn't the only story. I've heard from four women on Tumblr (who, again, will remain anonymous unless they choose to speak out) who he has been romantic or sexually involved with (and lied about his involvement, made them out to seem insane or toxic, created rifts in our friendships, toyed with their emotions, and made false promises to of relationships, marriage, and finances).

And that's not including the ex-wife who came back to Tumblr to claim that her and Kill had never met nor married. She was promptly silenced by a "lawyer threat" that we have strong reason to believe was a bluff.

At the end of the day, there are so many lies, half-truths, inconsistencies, etc. this man has wrapped himself in and we don't know for the life of us what his motives are, but from the information that we do know is false, he isn't genuine. He toys with people. He hurts them. Myself and the others that have been affected by this want that to stop.

And at any point, he has the ability to make a new account, and take on a new persona, pretend to be someone else. Tumblr is a wonderful place and I have met so many cool people on here, but please be careful about who you interact with and what you share, because aside from making this post, it is beyond my power to stop him from doing what he does. But after what he did to me, I could not remain silent.

I don't think I've ever loved a fandom more than I've loved this one.

I've been in quite a few fandoms, and they all, in one way or another, had a negative emotional impact on me, until I got into the Good Omens fandom.

Being in this fandom is like being in a safe and cozy bubble, where no harm can get to you, and you feel secure and happy and reassured that the bubble will never pop, and you feel like everything is okay, you're okay, you're happy, you belong.

I love so many things about this fandom. I love how everyone is always nice and respectful towards other fans and actors and writers and just everyone. I love how almost every fan has a different theory/headcanon for a certain thing, yet they're so accepting and encouraging of other peoples' headcanons and loving of it even if it's completely different from the one they have.

I love how a Good Omens fan is the #1 supporter of another Good Omens fan, and yet they're also their #1 enemy.

I love how everyone always says that Good Omens fans have one goal in life and that is to make other Good Omens fans miserable, and yet everyone knows it's just a joke and they actually love every single bit of art and writing and poetry and eat that angst up happily because it's somehow the most beautiful thing ever.

I love how Neil Gaiman takes time to answer our questions and never makes us feel silly for asking them. Moreover, I love how he doesn't always make everything canon, even when fans ask if something is canon or not, and leaves space for our imagination to make theories and headcanons and enjoy setting endless possibilities.

I love how both him and Michael Sheen interact with fans online. I love how Michael replies to pieces of fanwork and fans' stories and tweets and how he's always so supportive and enthusiastic about it all.

I love how Michael and David (mostly Michael) jump at every opportunity to talk about how Aziraphale and Crowley are in love, how much they mean to each other, how much they care, how they're the Yin to each others' Yang.

I love how Michael, David, and Neil are always so so so nice when interacting with fans (both online and irl) and how they always make us feel appreciated and loved. I love how they 100% support all fanwork and fan fictions and never spoke horribly about people who make them but instead encouraged them because it just shows how much people love the show and how much it actually means to them.

This fandom is the one place where I've felt safe to share my thoughts online without the fear of being attacked by other people for having different views than them, and I was anxious with my first post, but now I'm always excited to post something or just see what's new, knowing that I've found a place where I won't be criticised or judged for what I enjoy. A place I feel safe.

I genuinely love this fandom and everyone involved in it so so much. Please never change you all are amazing<3
