Personal fic backup archive is up and ready. Finally got all fic at least basically categorized and tagged! Fics archive here date back all the way to 2002 X_X Fanfiction Archive – Years of Fandom
Back in the livejournal days, I wrote a lot more posts that were long and involved, more thought out, and more personal. I think all of us– fandom and nerds and geeks specifically, but along with us everyone in the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

“I hate seeing villains turned into heroes”/ “I hate redemption stories for villains” is such a privileged position to have. Imagine never seeing yourself as the villain.
The international fanbase went insane after chapter 125 of Tokyo Ghoul leaked online. Scanners quickly translated the chapter and fans were eager to read it, but a large segment of the fanbase went apeshit upon learning that Kaneki and Touka have sex!
If you’ve read Tokyo Ghoul from the start or watched the anime, you’ll know that it is obvious that Kaneki and Touka have feelings for each other. But, a dedicated segment of fans were adamant that Kaneki and his male best friend Hide would end up as a couple…only to have their ship destroyed by Sui Ishida.
Most fanbases have ravenous shipping wars, and it’s not uncommon for popular ships to sink because they don’t fit into the story. Even Fairy Tail creator Hiro Mashima had to plead with his fans to stop attacking each other based on shipping.
Sadly, Tokyo Ghoul fans didn’t get the message as they promptly attacked Ishida on social media with claims that he is homophobic and sharing pictures burning Tokyo Ghoul manga copies. Some fans even demanded that Ishida commits suicide while sharing their joy in pirating the series instead of legally supporting their once favorite manga.
However, there are Tokyo Ghoul fans who are teaming up to show Ishida their appreciation for his work and to counter-balance the vile comments towards him. The Tokyo Ghoul subreddit is planning on a campaign to send Ishida positive messages and fanart using the hashtag #IshidaAppreciation around May 27th or June 1st.
Tokyo Ghoul is an insanely popular series and attracts all kinds of fans that get invested into the series. But it’s like Mashima said, “Authors cannot fulfill every wish their fans have. We have our own conviction when creating our stories.”
Maybe the art store needs to carry guns ammo and body armor?
So, we’ve got this, “Voltron” fans trying to blackmail the studio into making a m/m ship canon, Avimedes being given needle-laced cookies over “Undertale” fan art, people trying to shut down “Villainous” before it even gets off the ground because one of the storyboardists drew NSFW fan art when she was a teenager, rampant false accusations of pedophilia, doxxing in the “Star Wars” fandom…
If you are one of the people taking part in this kind of behavior, or if you praise, support, or try to justify this behavior IN ANY WAY, you are a fucking sociopath, and you are NOT WELCOME in fandom.
Y’all are a bunch of socially-inept outcasts that hate yourselves and your own lives so much that you project yourselves into fiction in order to compensate. You’ve become so clingy and obsessed with these fictional worlds that you’ll willfully harm others over them IN REAL LIFE. You don’t get anyone’s sympathy. I don’t care what you went through in the past: I don’t care what you’re a victim of. I don’t care what disorders you have. I don’t care if you’re “a minor!”. NO ONE is obligated to give ONE SINGLE FUCK about ANY of that–or about YOU–because NONE OF IT IS AN EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR.
No more excuses. This ends in 2017. It’s time we make it known that this conduct will no longer be tolerated in ANY fandom.
I’ve known about Astro-turfing for a long, long time, but it’s rare to spot such an obvious example of it, in its natural habitat. Astroturfing, if you didn’t know, is corporate marketing disguised as regular posts/accounts/discussions on the internet. Its accounts,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Viserys- I CAN HAS THRONE NAO? by *Greer-The-Raven on deviantART So my roleplaying group meets on Sundays, which has given us the perfect excuse to watch A Game of Thrones, HBO’s adaptation of George RR Martin’s Song of Ice and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I know it clashes with my big, bad image, but when I was a kid/young teenager I adored Sailor Moon beyond what was probably reasonable for a cheesy anime dub. (though I ended up buying all the manga available right[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Willow’s an old fancharacter/Mary-Sue of mine, and still one of my favorites. She originated on a loooong car ride when I was about 14/15, and accumulated personality, backstory, and (much to my chagrin) an incestuous relationship along the way. Willow[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So, Linkara’s “review” show is becoming less review, and more narrative self-indulgence, which, honestly, I wouldn’t mind since I like him so much, but it makes me want my OWN self indulgent vlog series. :/
Two weeks ago I played a game called Alan Wake that had pretty much just come out. I’ve spent the last weeks kinda chewing it over in my mind and deciding what to say about it. Firstly, I’d like to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I finally got the pics off my camera from Toracon, and well, I don’t much feel like uploading them, but here’s one of me as a Rocket Grunt menacing a random group of Pokémon cosplayers.
Ben is my favorite character on LOST but I never felt more connected to him than at this moment in that penultimate episode. Mild mannered school-teacher Ben has just received a jolt of the memories of his past self/alternate life,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I love Genius the Transgression with the fiery burning power of a thousand giant suns, but dear gods, rereading it does NOT help me time-wise, project-wise or sanity-wise.
Saban has purchased Power Rangers back from Disney. Clearly Linkara must be responsible. The good news? More Power Rangers with the feel of the old series. The ban news? No Power Rangers appearances in Kingdom Hearts. 😉 -David
