part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

No, and I suggest you trot on over before you meet the business end of a crop!

Obvious Rainbow Dash tendencies aside, I can't shake the thought that America would also like Fluttershy because of how cute she is and admire how many animal friends she has.

Irritating fandom stuff

What's annoying you in fandom right now? Can be Hetalia or otherwise.

Hard mode: for every irritating thing you list, you have to mention something positive as well

If you write a human AU in which Germany and Prussia aren't brothers, meet each other for the first time in adulthood and aren't German, then all I can say to you is that congrats, you've just removed almost everything that makes Germancest one of my favorite pairings.

On the positive side, good god this pairing has so much hot fanart.

this

both tumblr and 4chan are dens for young and silly cringey nerds, with the occasional sprinkling of toxic bullies. different kinds of young and silly cringey nerds, and bullies that justify their behaviour in different ways, but still

do you remember the Jessi Slaughter story?

I can totally see it! And she has the Japanese equivalent of southern accent doesn't she?

between tumblr and 4chan it's like i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place seeking a good spot to hang for fandom stuff.

but yeah, at this point i think i'd prefer even 4chan over tumblr - not because of this hotel thing, i mean, but overall atmosphere. and jesus, that is quite an accomplishment, to become more fucking irritating than 4chan.

only my other thought is you don't want the sjw pack to spread elsewhere either, which might happen if tumblr crashes too fast. better to have it contained. so tumblr shouldn't die, it should stay intact as a flytrap for the crazies and some of the more moderate and sensible fans should siphon off to someplace better where we can all fucking play with our fictional toys in our own sections of the sandbox without being so judgey and hypersensitive and occasionally outright fucking bossy/controlling.

the fact that i really don't have a decent fandom home anymore. ugh.

i miss the old days of livejournal - the OLD old days before the sjw virus spread, where yes there were some wanks and drama but maybe because there was no reblog function, it was all more contained and cordoned off. and you could easily hang in only certain portions of fandom and ignore others.

and people really, really communicated with each other. long, wordy discussions, and reviews. i've grown so lazy and rusty i find that i have difficulty coming up with good compliments even nowadays. you know? like i read a fic and all i can pull together for a comment is WOW A!A I LOVED THAT FIC! because i've forgotten how to say what i want to say.

mind you, i'm not saying that it's bad or not good enough to leave comments like that, i'm sure authors still appreciate it, but i'm saying that it used to be the norm to have at least let's say 20%+ of comments to be longer and more deeply thoughtful (and not the sort of thoughtful that's really thinly-veiled bossiness in which reviewer kisses ass about the good writing but then passive aggressively whines about use of tropes/characters/pairings/kinks that they don't care for, +/- insinuation that it's ~problematic~ or ~offensive~ if not done according to reviewer's taste/headcanons/etc)

blegh, nostalgia.

I'm still steaming over the "you can't post deleted art!!!!!" bullshit. Actually, just the entitled attitude and one-way relationship of most fanartists nowdays. I miss when fanart was a fun things that you did because you liked a series and wanted to share the ideas in your head with others, and not the "MUH WORK MUH POPULARITY MUH FEELINGS" circlejerk it is today.

It's almost been 10 years since Himapapa first conceived Hetalia. Maybe he's just sick of it
