Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

Let OP talk, they’re absolutely right.

puritanical teens conducting impromptu spanish inquisitions on queer artists, on every single platform, relentlessly, has also had a bit of a dampening effect on fandom joy and creativity, i gotta say.

the way you’re expected to consume and produce media as the public-facing expression of your inner goodness is deeply fucking sad.

They should invent a new kind of sleep that makes me less tired

‘Fun’ fact I learned from a fatigue management course i’m currently on: Sleep doesn’t count as Rest!

While you’re sleeping, your body is at rest, but your brain is using a hell of a lot of energy to process the information you took in while you were awake. Updating memories, creating dreams, balancing homeostasis, etc. So when every little drop of energy counts, sleeping isn’t going to totally recharge you.

You need Doing/Thinking Nothing time during the day in addition to sleep, by whatever means you find work best for you.

Do any of u have decent recipes that are like 5 ingredients (not including spices) and take 45 mins or less to prepare i gotta stop eating sandwiches for dinner

yeah hang on

These are my two favorite comfort foods. They're very easy to make and dont take long to cook.

this recipe for gogumabap (sweet potato and rice) saved my life when i couldn't eat hardly anything for a long time. the recipe itself calls for a heavy bottomed pot but you can absolutely use a rice cooker and put the rice and diced sweet potato in together and just let the machine do its thing
