True love conquers all

"But 22 episodes is too much to binge in one session!"

Perhaps we should not consume our entertainment like an eating disorder.

Have something to look forward to every thurday for half a year. A week to build up excitement and theories between episodes (or to yk, be too busy to watch). Time to create art about it.

time to let things find their audience, time for fandoms to build up (time for fandoms to maintain their momentum)

My generations grew up watching the same TV show over the course of their entire school career. That's why Star Trek, for example, has such a large fanbase.

Seven seasons of Voyager means those characters accompanied me for seven years. That's why so many people are attached to shows and characters.

Guys. It's because studios have to raise their employee's wages after a certain number of seasons are ordered. They're "ordering" a regular season length amount of episodes, chopping it up, and then marketing it to you when it's finished as multiple seasons.

It's capitalism and greed. It's always one of those two things.

PS please support animation workers as we possibly prepare to strike

i will say, the worst thing that happened in fandom was when shipping just became “i ship this bc it’s gonna be real” and not just “i ship this bc i think it’s a fun dynamic to explore idc what the writers are doing that’s not my business”

“everyone is going to hate it” someone will love it. someone will reach out to you and tell you it changed their life. someone will hold it close and treasure it forever in a way you can’t even understand. keep going

Reblog if you love AO3 and appreciate their volunteers who are working harder than God, fighting battle after battle, making sure the place that is a safe space for every fandom is staying up and running for all of us

Black Sails - XXXVIII

I might just be extremely in my thirties now but I simply cannot take any sort of fandom discourse anymore. I barely could before but I am at maximum capacity. just... just watch the thing and enjoy it or whatever, be nice to each other, isn't life hard enough
