Fandom Spaces - Tumblr Posts

i’m not pro-ship or anti-ship i am simply anti-censorship. i also believe that the owner of an online space can choose what they allow to be uploaded to that space. these are thoughts that can coexist.

Every single time I see a take that amounts to "if you write about X happening, or like fiction where X happens, you like X" I'm reminded of this one time I was at a casual friends house as a young kid. We were in her room, pretending to "be orphans" escaping from an evil orphanage and having to take care of each other and fend for ourselves. It was all very Little Orphan Annie/All Dogs Go to Heaven and based on the 80s pop media.

And this girl's mom comes in, hears what we're playing and gets all MAD and UPSET. She says that if we play act something, it's because we want it to happen. So her daughter must WANT HER TO DIE.

First off lady, we were 6 year year olds, so take it down several notches. We barely had a concept of mortality for fucks sake. She made us feel so guilty and ashamed, because she was taking our game personally.

Now I have a 5 year old. And sometimes she looks at me and says "pretend you're dead, and I have to -" Whatever it is. Some adult task she's assigned herself.

And it's just so transparently obvious that she's practicing the idea of having to do things on her own. Which is exactly what 5 year olds are supposed to do. I actually find it very flattering that the only way she can envision me not being available to help her is to be literally deceased. Otherwise, obviously, she wouldn't have to do scary hard things alone.

It's a natural coping mechanism. She's self-soothing about what would happen if I wasn't there by play-acting independence in a perfectly safe environment. She's also practicing skills she needs, and making up excuses for practicing them on her own, without taking on the responsibility of being able to do them by herself all the time yet.

Humans mentally rehearse bad this in their brains all the time. We can do that by ruminating- going over worries over and over again, which tends to lead to anxiety and helplessness and depression. Or we can do it with a sense of play- by recognizing that the fiction is fiction and we can dip our toe into these experiences and expose ourselves to bad things without actually being injured.

My daughter does not want me dead. And I don't want bad things to happen in real life. But fiction and pretend help me face the horrors of the world and think about them without collapsing or messing myself up mentally.

E.g; if someone was creating a website geared toward uncensored art, would you be willing to support it within your own capacity? (Raising awareness of the project, donating funds, helping gather resources, ect.)

The other post I made about it was pretty vent-y so I'm going to make another one on the same subject, but;

Going into spaces specifically intended for the positive appreciation or enjoyment of something with the intent to be negative or the attempt to convert it to a negative space is both a shitty thing to do and it Will Not get you the result you want.

As one reblogger on the post said; Reddit is appalling for this, but Tumblr is already hot on its heels.

People create spaces around the things they enjoy because, well, they enjoy them. They want a space to create and share that enjoyment. They want a space where they can cycle that positivity into content and community.

These spaces are founded on the enjoyment of the source and the belief that it is good. TV shows, movies, books, games. These spaces are based on the pure fact that the people within them, by majority, like what they are consuming.

And obviously, that doesn't mean you can't be critical of aspects of it, or not like parts of it, or be disappointed with things that have happened. But the point is that the good should vastly outweigh the bad.

And if you're trying to wedge yourself into those positive spaces with the bad outweighing the good, that is not the space for you. That is not the purpose of the space, nor is it fair to the people who created that space with the intent of being positive.

It is not, by any means, toxic positivity to have a specific place designed to revolve around the enjoyment of and positive perception of something.

That place is not for you and your voice. Your voice does not have the right to speak over theirs within that space. Positive spaces are not obligated to allow you to speak within them.

You're not going to change minds by being negative in those positive spaces. You're just going to make people avoid you and dislike you and be unwilling to listen to what you have to say.

As a proshipper, what's the one thing you can't personally abide by in fiction? For whatever reason.

Mine is het-bending M/M or F/F ships. Or turning one character FTM in a very, very thinly veiled attempt to het-bend.

Its to the point where I'll usually send fics I'm suspicious of to a friend to "pussy proofread."

Sometimes it sucks being in or orbiting fandoms because like

I don't ship things anymore. Here and there, there's a pair that I just like art content about them in general and have other characters I don't mind seeing them paired with

But overall I just don't ship much anymore?

I keep forgetting that people have lives outside of fandom spaces. Like there’s people on this site and others that have jobs and relationships and stuff and we know nothing about it.

I just found out that Ao3 was called that because there are 3 o’s in the name. Apparently that was common knowledge, but it just never clicked for me.

I think the reason I prefer wincest spaces over destiel spaces even though I do enjoy both ships boils down to an average difference in approach when it comes to canon v fanon. Cesties tend to operate in a realm of suspended disbelief. Most just do not care if it’s a canon thing, if it’s widely accepted to be true, or even if it’s liked by the majority of fans. They just enjoy the ship for the expansion that it is and what text is given in show. Ofc they do care about canon wincest, but it’s just not the Focus because we know the brothers and their relationship (romantic or not) will always be the core of spn. Hellers on the other hand have this incessant need to Prove that their ship is real—that Dean and cas are canonically in a reciprocal, non-platonic love, and that it’s an undeniable Fact Of Canon. It’s unfathomable how anyone could watch the show and not see what they see. It’s less fun in my opinion

So apparently KOSA (2024 edition) is getting either thrown out until next year or put into effect in six days.

Update that's going in the main post at the top: it has enough support to pass.

It failed the last two times because people were voting against it.

This time, KOSA has traction among the pro-LGBTQ parties. Because nobody is fucking calling their bullshit and screaming from the rooftops that calling it the "Kids Online Safety Act" is misleading.

What will it passing do?

Nothing much, only prevent any education on LGBTQIA+ (it's that stupid fucking argument about us grooming kids again), shut down nearly every fandom space on the internet, and make it required for most big tech companies to have your ID.

Want to have resources for kids to discover their identity readily available? Yes? Then fucking speak up against this stupid fucking bill.

Fandom spaces like Tumblr, Twitter (? I thought the MAGA assholes liked Musk?), Tiktok, Archive Of Our Own, and any other website that hosts fanfic or fanart? Either shut down permanently, forced to uproot to a different country and down for a while (best case scenario, and they likely won't be able to send any data, and therefore fanfics, to the US), or gutted so that you only get to put G rated cishet ships on there, if any shipping at all. How to avoid that? I've already said it: Call your fucking representatives.

Want to avoid the fucking dystopic task of being legally obligated to give big tech your government issue ID? Again, cause an uproar. Call your goddamned representatives.

If they can pass this, the ripple effects could be catastrophic.

So, for fuck's sake, any Americans that can impact this stupid fucking bill and see this? Do everything in your power to shut it down because you have until February twenty sixth (26th) to send this bill back to where it belongs.

And if you can't do that? Reblog, copy my tags, and boost the signal.

Sorry not sorry for ranting, making you scroll through that, and swearing a probably excessive amount, but KOSA is a bill with a GLOBAL IMPACT being passed by ONE COUNTRY because some old people are scared of two guys with who were told they were girls kissing within five hundred miles of a child. Fuck this shit, I shouldn't have to worry about bad bills in America but I fucking do because I use the internet and would like to avoid mass censorship. Fuck this, fuck conservatives, and fuck the fact that some boomers make your country's policies.

Now, if you won't mind me, I'm going to be up until three in the morning downloading fanfiction or copying and pasting them into a a text file if I can't so I can read them by the end of the week.

80 Examples of Fandom Antiblackness

Imagine all of these things being a possibility every single time you log in to your 'escape'!

To my Black readers: You are VALID! You are not sensitive, not 'overreacting', and you had every right to be hurt by the way you've been treated. These are not isolated events! And if people won't stop being racist, they should continue to feel uncomfortable for being so!

To my nonBlack readers: You are not an ally for NOT doing these things, but for STANDING AND SPEAKING UP when they do.

(So APPARENTLY Tumblr won't let you zoom in on Desktop, but I put the lists in the Image Description! Sorry 😬 i did not know Tumblr doesn't allow zoom in on desktop. It's easier to zoom in on mobile.)

“Fandom spaces are sacred, you can't censorship them!” If fandom spaces are sacred, WHY WON'T YOU MAKE IT SAFE FOR RACIALIZED PEOPLE, FOR FUCK'S SAKE?

Ykw? I'm gonna say it:

90% of fandomers are smut addicts who can't “respect” any identity outside of cis gay male for pure fetishism.

I'm gonna be honest, when I first heard about headcanon alphabets, I genuinely thought there would be a hc alphabet specifically for the characters personality. When I found out that was only 3 (romantic sfw, nsfw and agere) I was baffled, cuz like, how could y'all think of a sexual headcanon alphabet and none for our characters themselves? What?? *Asexual indignation.*

So, I decided to coin this alphabet. Because we need it. But please, read the warnings and disclaimers after this alphabet, they might be important (90% of chances it will /hj).

Beware, under the cut:

The General Headcanons Alphabet

A- Amused (How does their sense of humour look like? Is it broken?):

B- Brave (How brave are they? How sensitive are they to graphic scenes, also?):

C- Creative (How creative are they? Are they creative to the point of being able to create entire worlds, or they can't come up with the most basic gambiarra?):

D- Disability, Disorder or Divergence (Does this character has a disorder of any kind? A disability or a neurodivergence?):

E- Emotional (Are they emotional and sensitive, or a stone-hearted person? What are their levels of empathy?):

F- Fearful (What are their deepest fears?):

G- Gender (Self explanatory):

H- Hate (What do they dislike with a burning passion?):

I- Inside Angel (How strong is their sense of justice? What are their morals?)

J- Jelly Jam (What makes them nostalgic? What was their favourite thing as a kid?):

K- Kisser (What is their orientation? Lesbian, gay, straight, etc.?):

L- Love (What do they like, what are their interests?):

M- Mornings (How are they like, waking up? Are they a morning person?):

N- Nights (How are they like, when they're going to sleep? Do they sleep easily, or are there nights where they can't even close their eyes?):

O- Object (Comfort object that they have, or an object that has a big emotional importance to them, if they got any.):

P- Positive (How optimistic are they?):

Q- Questioner (How curious are they?):

R- R.E.N (What is their race? Do they have an ethnic background of any kind? And what is their nationality, by the way?):

S- Self (Is their self-steem low or high? What do they see when they look in the mirror and what do they think about themselves?):

T- Trauma (Do they have trauma of any kind? What is it, and/or how did it affect them?):

U- Unbiased (From the Brazilian popular saying “oblems, oblems, oblems, each one with their own problems” to tiktok conservatives, how much do they care or have an option on what other people are doing, as long as they aren't hurting themselves and others?):

V- Vigilant (How trusting are they?):

W- Wild Card (The most random headcanon you have about them!):

X- X, the treasure marker (How persistent are they when searching for their goals and dreams?):

Y- Yappa, Yappa, Yappa (Are they talkative? Or do they listen more?):

Z- Zen (How far will their patience go? And what drives them into rage?):

Disclaimers:

This alphabet was made with both headcanons and ocs in mind, so, if something seems off, it might be because of it.

When going for the r.e.n. part, PLEASE know how to differentiate ethnicity, race and nationality. Ethnicity has no impact on race now with nationality, because it is about what cultural group you are apart of.

If you are using this for headcanons and you don't headcanon an specific piece differently from canonic (i.e.: “A- Amused”: Character canonically laughed at the wind and you don't headcanon anything different from that.), you can mention that it's not different from canon.

Btw, latinoamerican and Judaism are ethnicities (+ethno religion, in the case of the Jews), and not races. I need to say this for the 10th billionth time, because most of you are white and United Stadian or European, and most of y'all don't understand this basic piece of information! /Light hearted, but very disappointed.

The R.E.N. section was also made with original characters in mind, mostly. So if you're using it for fandom character hcs, avoid whitewashing non white characters, because I'm also a person of colour.

Someone already did something like this before me, but when I saw it, this post was already under production. But I'd like to give credits to @tranzfalgar for having the original idea.

For all, these are all the warnings needed. Enjoy this template!

hi quick question ,is there a way i can block certain tagsor like inaproriate content al togtaher? like i know acoounts can b blocked but like evrytime i am scrolling down a normal fandom tag or some other tag like climate change,feminism, etc etc inaproriate content comes up, and i dont like to see that . is there that stuff cann be permantly blocked? @tumblr staff

one of the reasons i like felix is becuse i know he was abused and he knew his cousin was abused, they had no autonmy, they were pupets, they were dolls to thieir parents, expected to be like dolls forced to be puppetts.

its also heavily implied that he was physicaly abused, and that his mother was force to mary this afwul violent man for finacial/buisness/contionoing legacy purpose, which hits to close to home.

i already reallllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy loved his charecter before but in the episode where snaps evryone out of existance exept kids like him.

but it's the phrase he says

" we are not monster, they are"

that got me, becuse i used to think i was a monster and not my abusers,not the people who hurt me, not the people who watched and did nothing , ME, i was the monster.

ofc i stoped beliving that before episode aired but it just got me

and then he just snaps the abusers out of existenace, and he snaps evryone out of existance, he lets down he facde and grins as he watches humanity snap out of existance, as aroom full of people who

call themselfs kings and queens, who ruled forcruely for way to long , that a mob came with it brought a guilotine, he was the mob and he was the guilotine and he dances, he sings, he sings and evryone hears the song from a soul who had never had his voice, he sing a melody amoung the noise of the world and finally, after all this time all that reamins is .... quiet . all that reamins is him , his people, and his quiet.

snaping your abusers out of existance sounds like such a fantasy.

i love him so much, i would, inded to go mad. in his position

So apparently KOSA (2024 edition) is getting either thrown out until next year or put into effect in six days. That was a guesstimate based on a different person saying that's when Congress is back in session and may be false.

Update that's going in the main post at the top: it has enough support to pass Congress.

It failed the last two times because people were voting against it.

This time, KOSA has traction among the pro-LGBTQ parties. Because nobody is fucking calling their bullshit and screaming from the rooftops that calling it the "Kids Online Safety Act" is misleading.

What will it passing do?

I'm way to autistic to talk to people in my fandom, let alone ask them for things.🥸

hmmm ihnmaims fans on tiktok acting like they havent been in a fandom space before . i say we subject AM to the wonders and horrors of the internet !! pls keep the art , cosplays , and fanfics coming i say 🤷🙎
