Being non-binary is like instead of having an angel and a demon on ur shoulder u have a faggot and a dyke
the world is so beautiful everyone's on their own path
I love personalization. I love stickers on water bottles and on laptops. I love shitty marker drawing on the toes of converse. I love hand embroidered doodles on jeans. I love posters on walls. I love knick knacks on shelves. I love jewelry with goofy charms. I love when people take things and make them theirs.
Like on the one hand I am fully aware that The Boys is a Kripke production, and after what happened on supernatural, that man is never going to let Misha and Jensen's characters get within armslength of each other --- but like. Imagine the carnage if he leant into the destiel crowd and had soldier boy and whoever misha is playing hook up. Can you imagine?????? There would be hospitalisations. It would be bigger than 15x18. There would be craters left all over the earth where all the spn girls exploded on the spot. Kripe has the opportunity to do THE MOST unhinged and hilarious thing ever, and he won't, but imagine for a second the absolute unbridled mayhem he would cause if he did
your job is not more important than media from 2005. never forget this.
PSA:
1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly
2. If you are silly, you must stay silly
2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness
2. Help the people around you to be silly
Excellent addition!
In the Dan and Phil (DNP) subreddit, the community is founded around being fans of the Youtubers Dan and Phil. They identify as “Phans” which is a play on words of Phil’s name. The purpose of the subreddit itself is to post memes, reactions to the videos, fanart, and any questions the fan may have about events (Dan and Phil were recently on tour, so there's a lot of activity and questions happening around that, currently).
As far as communication patterns, I’ve noticed that they love to add a “Ph” to words, like “Fan” to be “Phan”, or “Seal” to “Pheal”. As far as I can tell, It's a very old tradition in the fandom. I also observed that they love to make innocent phrases sound dirty, by abbreviating them, or changing letters around. For example, The name of the tour that Dan and Phil did recently was called the “Terrible Influence Tour”, which fans refer to as “TIT”.
The Phan subreddit itself has many rules, which is one of the reasons I decided to study it, specifically. According to some of the things I've seen outside of Reddit, on other fan platforms that are less moderated, the DNP subreddit tends to police community posts very heavily when they are focused on specific topics. Some of the things the Subreddit outlaws are RPF (Real person fiction), Shipping, and certain types of Fanart. This type of moderation is causing discourse in the fandom as a whole, because those things are very popular among the larger fandom, and even sometimes encouraged by the creators themselves.
As far as power roles or separation, the only thing I took note of was the role of moderators in the subreddit. These are the people who review posts to see if they violate the rules of the subreddit, and have the power to remove things if they see fit. There are also “User flairs” which appear to be bestowed by the moderators. User flairs can give the individual a different type of status, like how the role “Hiatus survivor” indicates a veteran in the fandom.
All in all, the DNP subreddit is a space to post your opinions on the media in a very specific way. Many fans may gravitate away from it due to the regulations that are enforced on the posts- so an outsider may get the wrong opinion if only exposed to this specific area of the fandom.
gonna be cringe for a sec, but writing gay star trek fanfiction feels like such a big deal to me. here i am, participating in a tradition dating back to the 60s. a tradition thats shaped millions of real lives and changed the way we engage with media forever.
the invention of fanfiction has resulted in friendships and marriages, people moving across the planet to meet likeminded individuals. the fabric of our world changed because of how hard people loved star trek, a show that very nearly did not happen.
i've never cared for my own family history or tradition very much, but feeling connected to those first fanfic writers through my own fic writing is so bizarrely wonderful.
i hope we keep writing gay star trek fanfiction long after we make our own trek through the stars.

I recently told a friend who is not on tumblr about the ides of March. And they asked how do we celebrate? Is there a chosen "Cesar" account we all "stab"? Does admin pick a blog randomly or something?
And I had to inform them they highly overestimate how organized tumblr is and underestimate how much fun is there in the chaos.
"Admin", pffft
