Coming into a fandom late

Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck

Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie

Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.

Accuracy at its best

Being in a fandom and not even knowing there’s a war going on…

When You’re Not In The Fandom But You’re Nosy AF

When you get into a fandom only to discover it’s dead

This gets better every time I see it. 

Being in a dead fandom…

Or being in such a tiny fandom that it feels like youre the only one

The accuracy hurts.

Being in a fandom that had a shit ending.

When you’ve been fangirling long enough, you’ve experienced all of the above.

Being in a fandom meant for kids.

This just gets better..

When you realize that joining the fandom has ruined you

Fandom hell in general

Yes.

This^^^ just… ALL OF THIS.

Being in so many fandoms that you don’t even know what’s going on

THIS IS THE SKULDUGGERY FUCKING PLEASANT FANDOM IN ONE POST!!

Trying to recruit people to your fandom

Annnnnnndddd it’s back

Being in a fandom which has so many antis

I’ve probably reblogged this before, but that was before these great additions.

Being in a fandom that actually works together

Why is this so true? All of it.

being in a fanbase but all your mutuals suddenly turn into Kpop blogs

I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.

Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions

When you are in a fandom and don’t care for others people opinion…..even if they are right…(believe me, I have met several of those)

Being in a fandom you never meant to join

I love this. and it’s gotten better

After abandoning a fandom you’re still a little bit emotionally invested in….

All of these are me. Lol

Being in a fandom on Tumblr

And it reached its epic conclusion

Glorious post

What happens to cats in zero gravity ?   more educational gifs«

OH GOD THOSE POOR BABIES i am sobbing i am laughing so hard

In the last pic the cat is all “oh thank god I found ground NO WAIT COME BACK GROUND”

THOSE POOR BABIES OMG WHY AM I LAUGHING AT THIS

Astronaut: We need to fund 1.4 billion dollars. NASA: FOR WHAT?! Astronaut: We want to put kitties in space and have them float around in zero gravity. NASA: Here is all the money. God bless.

Avatar

Those cats are just ?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!

Cat: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

NASA: fascinating…

This is why we sent more dogs than cats into space. Cats are masters of gravity, they panic without it.

(Also, I think this is in the “vomit comet” plane, rather than space.)

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

  1. never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
  2. find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
  3. talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
  4. picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
  5. if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

… 8|

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

Avatar

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

Avatar

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking

This is so important

German chancellor ‘convinced of emergency’ but Brazil’s leader accuses European leaders of colonialism

Image

Angela Merkel has backed Emmanuel Macron’s call to put the fires in the Amazon on the agenda at this weekend’s G7 summit, after the French president said the situation amounted to an international crisis.

Steffen Seibert, a spokesman for the German chancellor, told journalists in Berlin on Friday: “The extent of the fires in the Amazon area is shocking and threatening, not only for Brazil and the other affected countries, but also for the whole world.

“When the G7 comes together this weekend, then the chancellor is convinced that this acute emergency in the Amazon rainforest belongs on the agenda.”

Macron’s intervention had prompted a furious response from his Brazilian counterpart, Jair Bolsonaro. “I regret that President Macron seeks to take advantage of what is a domestic Brazilian issue and of other Amazonian countries for personal political gain,” the rightwing leader tweeted, targeting what he called Macron’s “sensationalist tone”.

In a second tweet, he said: “The French president’s suggestion that Amazonian matters be discussed at the G7 without the involvement of countries of the region recalls the colonialist mindset that is unacceptable in the 21st century.”

Later, Brazil’s foreign minister, Ernesto Araújo, weighed in with a thread on Twitter, condemning the “savage and unfair” international campaign against his nation. Araújo claimed the campaign was being waged “because President Bolsonaro’s government is rebuilding Brazil”.

He added: “The ‘environmental crisis’ appears to be the last weapon left in the arsenal of leftist lies to smother this fact.”

Earlier one of Bolsonaro’s top foreign advisers also tweeted a reprimand to foreign meddlers. “God does not like liars,” Filipe Martins wrote in a series of posts rebutting international criticism.

Bolsonaro’s politician son, Eduardo, continued the offensive, tweeting a YouTube video called “Macron is an idiot” to his 1.6 million followers.

Mythbusters Physics: Relative Velocity

The Mythbusters tested what would happen if a ball was shot at 60 mph off the back of a truck travelling at 60 mph to see what would happen.

It became a perfect example of the relative nature of physics - showing that velocity can vectorially add together. 60 mph in one direction cancels the 60 mph in the other, meaning a net velocity of zero.

thanks, you discovered vectors. Fuck me sideways this is dumb

Yup, everyone has the same level of knowledge as you. There’s no one to learn anything from this.

Just to add, before the Mythbusters did this it was purely a thought experiment and had never been empirically tested at that point. So you are seeing in those two gifs the first actually test of that hypothesis since it had been proposed back in Newtons time.

It’s fucking wild how the orb just… stays there… floating… for a while before gravity remembers to do its job.

Surrender, you think my ass remembers vector math?! Dafuq

Spooky Season is Nearly Upon Us!

So what’s tomorrow? That’s right, it’s the day that DGHDA Halloween Mini Bang sign-ups open!

Same rules as the Valentine’s Mini Bang apply: artists and writers sign up at the same time, and when sign ups close the matches will be made by mods. So it’s very important when you sign up that you include all relevant information so we can make the best matches possible! 

The theme is flexible, but the basic gist is that your story is in some way suited to Halloween- this could be anywhere from creepy horror stories to whimsical stories involving the supernatural to, well, just the Rowdies eating candy corn in the oh no mobile! If you want to take part but you’re stuck for a starting point, by all means pick a prompt from the prompt spreadsheet!

Sign-ups will be available tomorrow from a post on this blog, as well as the blog sidebar on desktop. Spread the word, tell your friends, and remember that beta and pinch-hitter sign-ups are always open!

Can’t wait to see you there!

I stan Billy Hargrove Because...

Because I was Billy Hargrove

As someone who was physically, verbally, and mentally abused by their family for their entire life, I know what he is going through.

I know that he's acting out. I know that his ego is hiding his insecurities. I know that anytime he feels genuinely happy for a few seconds, it vanishes completely because of his family abuse, or because of his thoughts of worthlessness, doubt, and depression. I know he acts like a cocky asshole who is better than everyone, that he's a bully, because that's the only power and control he has over his own life. I know that deep down he's just angry, and hurting, and he just wants a normal, happy family.

I know that he hasn't had the time to grow and learn that his actions aren't okay, because he is still faced with the problem that is causing them.

I know because I was these things once. I know because I didn't learn how to be better until I was long removed from the situation. I know because I had to grow and learn on my own with no professional help. It took me years to become who I am today, years to realize that I couldn't be shitty to other people just because someone was shitty to me my entire life.

I stan Billy Hargrove because I was him once.
