There is a phenomenon happening on Tumblr right now which may be a product of the Twitter exodus or maybe its just modern fandom mentality vehemently rejecting the old, but you guys have GOT to stop being so damn MEAN about fandom.

There are posts circulating on Tumblr right now hating on so many aspects of fandom. Yeah we all know the incorrect quotes format can be cringe and most of the time its the same quotes used for every fandom ever reducing the characters to stereotypes. Yes we know most fandoms scramble to ship the two basic white guys over all the other characters. Yes we know your blorbo probably Does Not Fucking Say That. Yes we know A/B/O is weird AF (especially now its breached containment and found its way into mainstream hetero erotica). Yes we know SuperWhoLock was ridiculous and attempts to make modern shows into a new SuperWhoLock have got old fast.

But do you have to constantly drag these things all the time? Why is it suddenly cool and popular to ridicule and criticise and hate on peoples fun?

Let people be cringe

Let people play in the fandom sandbox

Let people have their fun

Not everything has to be an intellectual critique and it doesn't make you a better person to constantly shit on fandom ON THE FANDOM WEBSITE

Fandoms can be problematic, toxic, and infuriating at times. But all the negativity isn't making things better. Yeah okay some aspects of fandom can be annoying, but must we have so many call out posts go viral on here specifically for hating on parts of fandom culture? Yet people wonder why fandom creators are quitting and there isnt as much art and interaction on here as there used to be.

If you see another negative post shitting on aspects of fandom cross your dash, maybe think before you reblog it. Maybe ask yourself if that post may be hurtful to a mutual? Perhaps youve got a mutual who writers A/B/O or CharacterxReader fanfiction who doesnt wanna see your reblog of the callout post stating reader×character fanfic is gross, or perhaps your mutual creates fun text posts applying quotes to their fave characters and youve just reblogged a 90k+ note post calling them cringy and overdone.

Just THINK please. Its not necessary. We've got to be KINDER to each other. Please don't let this place become like Twitter. Twitter was a toxic cesspool where no one had anything worthwhile to add to the discussion, no one created, everyone was just screaming angry rants into the void. Dont let tumblr become like that, because it will be the death of this place. And where will you go to find fanart and gifsets of your blorbos then?

Coelacanth plushie btw. if you even care

MY FRIEND SENT ME MONEY SO I COULD GET HIM

Sure it's cute ig, but "soft stuffed plushie" is about as antithetical to the concept of a coelecanth as you can get

BLAAARGH!! PUT THE COALS WITHIN MY MOUTH! ROAST YOUR FOOLISH MARSHED MALLOWS!! COLLECT THE ASHES FROM MY ASS TRAY and dispose of them responsibly, especially if they are still warm, fires are no joke. Uh. BLAARGH!!

Y'all have got to stop spreading fake news via the destiel meme, that shit needs to be an accredited source

What is it abt pearlcatchers that makes fr artists take one look at them and go. Horse.

You can tell it's a horse because of the way it is

Ok there's a poll going around that's skewed so I'm gonna make one that's way less biased. Let's get some more accurate results.

Out of curiosity, If you do own any ancients, I'd love for you to share your poll choice and how many you have in the tags! Also, share if you like them less, equal, or more than modern breeds. :>

Good for him

Rauru's blessing

I've fallen behind on naming Vormun and Izumi's latest offspring, so there's 2 clutches still hanging out in the lair and another about to hatch tomorrow. it's getting crowded in their place!!

you can leave comments on the achievements if you click the achievement name

I love how the npcs either know you’re Link Link, the hero of legend, or they just say things like “Woah you’ve got the same name as that sword guy!” and of course Link just doesn’t explain that actually he is Him™️

Do NOT feed the Reddit refugees!!!

They must learn to hunt on their own, lest they become dependent on the native Tumblr lifeform for food and shelter!!!

Happy Meat Fest everyone! \o3o/

fairgrounds games staff should make RIGHT NOW:

a collection of lair broadcasts

I need everyone to know how much Lightning loves their AchievementBoy dragon for these two achievements

If you're in Lightning and need/want the achievement he's here. If you need the achievement buy him and then sell him for 10,001t to pass it along. I gave him swirly eyes and Tuiteyfruity gave him a whole dang silhouette scroll.
