Fandom as a whole is not “minor-friendly”
Nor should it be.
If you want to live in a “Children of the Corn”-style bubble of innocence and purity, well, to me, that’s a startling approach to adolescence, but every generation’s got to find its own way to reject the one before, so: do as you will. But you can’t bring the bubble to the party, kids. Fandom, established media-style fandom, was by and for adults before some of your parents were born now. You don’t get to show up and demand that everyone suddenly change their ways because you’re a minor and you want to enjoy the benefits of adult creative activity without the bits that make you uncomfortable. If you think you’re old enough to be roaming the Internet unsupervised, then you also think you’re old enough to be working out your limits by experience, like everybody else, like I did when I was underage and lying about it online. If you’re not old enough to be roaming the Internet unsupervised and you’re doing it anyway, then that’s on your parents, not on fandom.
If you were only reading fic rated G on AO3, if you had the various safe modes on other media enabled, you would be encountering very little disturbing material, anyway (at least in the crude way people tend to define “disturbing” these days; some of the most frankly horrifying art I have ever engaged with would have been rated PG at most under present systems, but none of that kind of work ever seems to draw your protests). In the end, what you really want is to be able to seek out the edges of your little world, but be able to blame other people when you don’t like what you find. Sorry. Adolescence is when you get to stop expecting others to pad your world for you and start experiencing the actual consequences of the risks you take, including feeling appalled and revolted at what other people think and feel.
Now, ironically, fandom’s actually a fairly good place for such risk-taking, as, for the most part, you control whether you engage and you can choose the level of your engagement. You can leave a site, blacklist something, stop reading an author, walk away from your computer. Are there actual people (as opposed to works of art, which cannot engage with you unless you engage with them) who will take advantage of you in fandom? Of course there are. Unfortunately, such people are everywhere. They will be there however “innocent” and “wholesome” the environment appears to be, superficially. That’s evil for you. There are abusers in elementary school. There are abusers in scout troops. There are abusers in houses of worship. Shutting down adult creative activity because you happen to be in the vicinity isn’t going to change any of that. It may help you avoid some of those icky feelings that you get when you think about sex (and you live in a rape culture, those feelings are actually understandable, even if your coping techniques are terrible), but no one, except maybe your parents, has a moral imperative to help you avoid those.
In the end, you’re not my kid and you’re not my intended audience. I’m under no obligation to imagine only healthy, wholesome relationships between people for your benefit. Until you’re old enough to understand that the world is not exclusively made up of people whose responsibility it is to protect you from your own decisions, yes, you’re too young for established media fandom. Fandom shouldn’t be “friendly” to you.

Anonymous asked:
omg i just watched this show called bakers or fakers. basically two professional bakers compete against hobbyist. though who's who is kept a secret till the end. they have challenges with certain ingredients or desserts. i can totally imagine bitty going on the show.
YUP!
Also AU where Jack is a guest judge on the show and he knows he’s supposed to be there as the “Eye Candy Sports Star” and isn’t expected to actually know much about baking or about knowing who is the professional or the faker BUT the Falconers (for the first time since Jack was named captain) failed to make the playoffs (so. many. injuries. Jack himself was out for a huge chunk of the season and Tater pulled his hammy and it was– Not his fault. Jack knows that but STILL). The point is Jack had some extra time on his hands and so not only did he watch every episode of Bakers and Fakers to get used to the format, he also read tons of How To Bake books and he was going to start on the youtube channels but he’d run out of time. (Plus Jack prefers books, youtube videos can be a bit too loud for him. Especially with the weird background music some of them put on while things are baking.)
The point is: Jack goes to this taping Way Too Hyped and, honestly, putting a lot of the competitive spirit he reserves for hockey into Judging. Jack is going to get this: he is going to figure out who are the bakers and who are the fakers and… well actually there’s no scoring system per se but he is going to give specific feedback and win this thing anyhow.
Enter Eric Bittle.
Tiny. Blond. Friendly. Stunningly attractive. Freakishly fast at baking. Super nice to one of his fellow contestants who looks like a sweet old grandma. Super condescending and says things like “Oh, honey, that’s precious” to other fellow contestant who Jack thinks is a bit of a prick.
Jack decides right away that he must be a Faker. He is too young not to be. And he keeps cutting corners, not doing the things that Jack had read about and if there is one thing that Jack “knows” is that’s you Don’t Cut Corners in baking. So he is the faker.
He is also the best, but Jack is not to be deterred. Bittle gets through the first round no problem (Douchebag’s cupcakes were basic and dry so he goes and the other contestants seem happy about it.) and it’s onto the second round. For this round, all the contestants have to use maple syrup (in honor of Jack). Jack and the other judges bicker easily among themselves about who left is the Faker and who is the Baker and Jack tries over and over to get them to see that clearly Bittle is a faker. He has to be. There is no way he can use that much maple syrup without it coming out too sweet. He is making rookie mistakes. At one point, he added sirracha to his pie?? It didn’t make sense. He doesn’t make sense. Jack is positive.
Then they get to the tasting and the other two contestants are good and Jack is pretty confident that Marsha is a professional because damn her maple crisp thing is delicious but–
But then he takes a bite of Bittle’s maple crusted pie and he… he sees stars honestly.
“I was wrong,” Jack Zimmerman admits out loud to a studio audience. (Okay, that’s an exaggeration, the day is too long so there is no live audience). “He’s the real deal. He’s a baker for sure.”
The other judges agree. And because they have to give less money to real Bakers and thus always chose who they thing is a real Baker (and because Bittle was handsdown the best), Bittle wins the show.
And then comes the question: “Are you a baker or are you a faker?”
Marsha (as Jack suspected) is a Baker. That’s okay. Janelle is the faker and then Jack was right. They have Bittly announce what he is next. There’s the tense silence. Jack is glaring at him without really meaning to.
“I.” Bittle starts. Jack hasn’t felt so pumped since he was playing against the Flyers and they were tied up with 34 seconds left. “Am. A.”
Jack is holding his breath. He needs a win. He was right about this.
“Faker!”
Bittle laughs. The other judges all exclaim at how amazed they are by this. The host gets Bittle to explain that he is still a college student and he does most of his baking in a frat house (hence the sirracha move). Everyone is amazed.
Jack is livid. He knew it and then stupid Bittle made him change his answer. He should have stuck with his gut, he should have–
“Sorry for fooling you right at the end, darling,” Bittle says as they wrap up, shooting him a smile. “Had to get that 15 grand though.”
“I knew it, though,” Jack mumbles, feeling his face go a bit red. “I did know it.”
“Oh, you had no idea,” Bittle says and though he’s laughing, Jack doesn’t feel mocked. “You can’t know everything about me that quick!”
Bittle is cute and small and compact and Jack feels that rush he feels when he’s been bested but by a team that deserves it.
“How much time?” he blurts. Bittle blinks at him. He flushes harder but continues anyway. “Would it take to know everything?”
“Well, I- I-” Bittle is a bit flustered now too. Jack can see his face getting red. It’s adorable. But, unlike Jack, he manages to collect himself rather quickly. “I think dinner would be as good a place to start as any.”
And so that’s where they start.

Hello to all my fellow slash writers!!
As many of you know, I am in the process of revising my doctoral dissertation in to a book for publication, and I need your help!
As soon as I made the decision to write my dissertation about slash, I wanted to survey fic writers to learn more about our collective experiences, but the realities and time restrictions of graduate school didn’t allow me to do so. Fortunately, my publisher is very excited to include the experiences and insights of slash writers in the next version of this project, and that is where y’all come in!
If you’re so inclined, please complete my Writing Slash FanFiction survey to share your thoughts and feelings about why and how you write slash fic.
This survey is specifically for slash fic writers of any and all fandoms. For the purposes of this project, I am defining a slash ship as any M/M or F/F relationship. The ships can be canon (e.g., Clexa from The 100) or non-canon (e.g., Sterek from Teen Wolf). New and veteran fan writers of all ages, gender identities, and sexual orientations are welcome and encouraged to complete the survey. There are 17 questions, and you can write as much or as little as you like. Please, however, answer every question. At the end of the survey, you have the option to provide your Tumblr or email address in order to be entered in the three raffles I will be holding to thank the survey participants. I will be raffling off three copies of Fascination/Frustration, a Fandom Surprise Pack, and two 2,000 word fic prompt fills! Thank you very much for your time and support of this project and please, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments! You can email me at alisvolatpropiis32@gmail.com or contact me via Tumblr.
Also, please signal boost and reblog - the more the merrier!

HE GOT THE FOND™ FROM HIS DAD

So in light of the pic N just posted, The one with the Zimmermanns and Bitty at brunch, Bitty has Alicia’s hair color and Bob’s eyes. Imagine Bitty is out with the Zimmerclan and people assume bitty is jack’s younger brother.
Bob would go 150% into it. Going so far as to hope that it happens again and packing his wallet full of Bitty’s baby photos that Suzanne emailed him without question. Ready to show off his “youngest son” to anyone who makes the assumption.
“Eric was such a beautiful baby wasn’t he? Couldn’t stop ourselves taking pictures of that little angel. And Jack…well, we love Jack”
And then when Jack and Bitty go public, anyone who’s ever been subjected to Bob’s Bitty Baby Photos is like… … … … o.O
