I think a lot of it is picking who to have those.convos with and, if they’re public and random other folks weigh in, who to ignore. Like there are convos I would have with you or triss because I trust you both but i wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole from a stranger
(Where stranger can mean, someone I’ve seen around fandom and whose username I recognize but who I don’t personally know)
True. There’s not really anything I can do to keep public conversations or ideas from getting picked up by folks I don’t know and don’t want to talk to (aside from blocking, but you never really know who’s gonna be an issue suddenly). So it’s just a matter of finding the right people to have the right conversations with and not getting caught up in stuff I don’t want to be.Â
I just get disheartened, I think. I need to fix that.Â
*channels innego montoya and throws a dictionary at fandom*
I occasionally do, but then I have nice conversations with sensible people who drag me through arguments on the physics of tuning methods
don’t rock the boat is an important mantra for fandom but we’ve gotten to a point where we’re mixing up don’t rock the boat for don’t have opinions and attempt to have a  rational discussion about it
Yeah, but like… I dunno. Folks are gonna continue to have the opinions they want to have. Like, some of the crap I’ve seen in the past few weeks along just make me question if it’s even worth it. It’s one thing to have differing opinions, which is usually a good thing imo, but it’s a whole different thing when you go “hey, this is a fact” and people go “I disagree”.Â
I’d love to have actual discussions about things but I’m losing my faith that that’s even possible. It’d be easier if we could agree on the basics but… ha!
Do you ever just wanna go “fuck it, sure! nothing I say actually matters. analysis doesn’t have to be persuasive at all. you’re so right! what was I thinking, trying to make a point about what’s cool and uncool and that’s what you took away. cool. cool cool cool. fuck it, we’re all gonna die someday anyway. be wrong. i don’t care”?
Because I’ve been on that island all damn day.
broken boys that understand broken girls and let them be angry is my jam. it would make great fanfic 🙂
Omg, yes. It’s probably one of my favorite things about the dynamic. He gets her, her pain and anger and loneliness and all that goes with it and he lets her be as pissed off as she wants. I just love it.Â
Welcome to multi fandom – I share a ton of SPN, but also Resident Evil, Until Dawn, Marvel, and whatever else I please. It’s your blog, it should be about the things you love! =)
@majesticduxk said: it’s weird you know, I always just post what I want, and it never occurs to me no one else does… but I am glad you making moves to make your blog much more something you want!
@majesticjiminie said: I’m so glad you decided to just say, fuck it, and blog about what you want. It always surprises me when people don’t do that, cause I give no fucks and post everything, ha ha, so I’m glad you’ve decided not to worry anymore ❤
@ltleflrt said: I think it’s funny you’re making an announcement. I just start reblogging my new loves and hope for the best lol
Thanks guys! I gotta say I was pretty nervous about it, but your support (and the support of everyone who liked my post) means a lot. I’m looking forward to the chaos a little bit, though, I gotta see. It’ll be fun to just do what I want now that I’ve given myself permission to do so.Â
@whitmerule said: Good to know! 🙂 Personally I find reylo kind of creepy but that is why I have it blacklisted – and I follow you because I like you, so I still want you around. Certainly no shipping hate or blocking from this quarter.
You’re totally free to feel that way, I’ll just make sure I keep it tagged 🙂Â
@wingstocarryon-replies said: Can’t wait! I love star wars and am interested in Reylo. Just like I love spn. Talk to me about either any time!
Lol, you sure? B/c I could talk about the reylo dynamic for days, probably. And like, the numerous narrative foils in the saga as a whole and various character arcs and all that fun stuff. I’ve been toying with a few posts for weeks now that deal with the ways different characters function as mentors and how successful they are/aren’t. I’ll extend the same offer to you, of course. Anytime you want to talk about star wars, or reylo, or spn, I’d love to chat.Â
Happens to me every time I ask for prompts. There’s always a couple that get left behind. Sometimes all of them ;-;
Sometimes it can’t be helped. Sometimes the mood is with you and other times it just isn’t. Nothing wrong with it. But I suppose the good thing is that if you do get in the mood to write something short later you totally can!Â
