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…

all of this shit…lol

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. 

@fuboos-mess

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..

@mi-kleos

When you realize that joining the fandom has ruined you

Fandom hell in general

Yes.

When you want to research everything about the fandom after you just joined

@out-of-chocolate

AOT ha ha

THEIRS MORE

IT GETS MUCH BETTER EVERY CYCLE

That was fucked up what they did to molly in TFP like what the fuck. They didn’t even resolve it. Sherlock lied to her and they never apologized. That was fucking painful to watch. Molly deserved better than that. She was literally just a baby sitter and a depressed love struck girl in all of s4. WTF. 

EVERY LAST ONE OF US IS A BROKE ADDICT WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING THAT GETS US THROUGH THE DAY AND NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH MONEY

New Canon Incoming

So for anyone new to fandom, here’s what’s going to happen: the new series will air, and a lot of really committed, vocal, prominent fans will hate it. 

They will loudly and frequently express their disappointment and anger. They will feel betrayed by the writers, the actors, the directors, and by every fan who doesn’t feel the same way. The words “out of character” will be batted around in relation to the new series. You will hear: “They did it all wrong! Don’t they know these characters at all?”

Disappointed fans will complain loudly for X amount of time, attempting to convince others that the new series had ruined everything that came before, after which they will flame out as hard and brilliantly as they can. It will feel like a big deal. It will feel like a big loss, like the fandom is bleeding out, like it’s shrinking. Like it’s not as good as it used to be.

Be not afraid. This happens every time there’s new canon.  Rest assured that it always happens, and it isn’t a special feature of any one fandom. Some people cannot handle more story, no matter how good or well-constructed that story is. If it isn’t what they were expecting, if the characters change and grow, some fans cannot and will not cope. And that’s okay! Follow your bliss, friend!

But so many more people will flood into the fandom. Fandoms double, or triple, or more in size when there’s new canon. There will be new artists, new writers, new meta thinkers. They will bring us new perspectives, and you will make new friends. Lots of them! 

Looking forward to new canon is also looking forward to a whole new fannish culture. Are you ready?

Just bringing this back.

How to watch/stream BBC Sherlock S4 as it airs (list)

By very high request, I’ve made a list on how and where to watch/stream Sherlock S4 as it airs this January. I myself don’t live in the UK, so I hope this list will help other Sherlock fans who live abroad! 

STREAMS:

VPN’S*: 

*VPN’s are illegal in a few countries. You can check here, if using a VPN is illegal in your country. 

Please reblog this and share it with your non-UK friends so we’ll all be able to watch The Three Thatchers in peace on the 1/1/2017. Send me a pm or ask if you know of other useful websites where S4 can be streamed live :)

This man is so fucking hot I asdfghkl;

“He’s always like this.” (x)

The fact that Sherlock went from a kid who dreamed of being a pirate, and loved playing with his dog, to a drug addict teen who needed to shoot up in order to quiet his mind, makes me sooo sad.

He went from waving a sword around and saying, “Pway piwates with me, Mycwoft.” To shoving a needle into his arm, with shaking hands, and writing out overdose lists for Mycroft.

I have no regrets.
