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.

This^^^ just… ALL OF THIS.

Being in so many fandoms that you don’t even know what’s going on

THIS IS THE SKULDUGGERY FUCKING PLEASANT FANDOM IN ONE POST!!

Trying to recruit people to your fandom

Annnnnnndddd it’s back

Being in a fandom which has so many antis

I’ve probably reblogged this before, but that was before these great additions.

Being in a fandom that actually works together

Why is this so true? All of it.

being in a fanbase but all your mutuals suddenly turn into Kpop blogs

I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.

Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions

When you are in a fandom and don’t care for others people opinion…..even if they are right…(believe me, I have met several of those)

Being in a fandom you never meant to join

I love this. and it’s gotten better

After abandoning a fandom you’re still a little bit emotionally invested in….

All of these are me. Lol

Being in a fandom on Tumblr

And it reached its epic conclusion

Role swap au where Zuko was the Avatar who got frozen for a hundred years, so when he’s rescued from the ice instead of a goofy twelve year old Katara catches this mysterious teenager with long hair and a cool scar and a fucking DRAGON

Katara: BOY???? HOT BOY?????? HOT TEENAGE BOY?????????

Zuko: *speaks*

Katara: nevermind I hate him

How does Aang factor into this? I ask because the more I think about it the more I want him to somehow be trying to capture the Avatar.

Aang is 112 years old, decided he was going to be Zuko’s airbending teacher, and refuses to take no for an answer

Aang: Aw, the new Avatar doesn’t want me. Aang: *gets out a weighted net* Time for Plan B then.

JDJSHJABDBFJSH

Look, you know how you keep a net from falling on you? YOU AIRBEND IT, SUCKA. Air comes right after fire in the cycle so it’s not like the guy has any other options. Do you want a flaming net falling on you? No? Then learn to airbend. Or this tiny old man will cart you away like a trussed turkey and lecture you about the power of laughter, going with the flow, opening your chakras, and other hippie shit.

Sokka, slouching against a fence, not moving: Oh nooooooo, that creepy old man stole the Avataaaaaaaaaar. Sokka, sitting down on the ground: We should dooooo something. Sokka, pulling out his lunch: Otherwise he might actually learn something. That would be teeeerrible. Katara, indignant rage coursing through her body: Sokka!!!!!!!! We have to go look for him!!!! Sokka: Might! Actually! Learn! Something! Katara! Katara: *wavers* Katara, also sitting down: We have to go look for him…. *gets out her own sandwich* But, maybe after lunch.

I love that this transforms Aang’s role in the full Team Avatar familial situation from the baby of the family to the Grandpa with weird hobbies

This is Awesome

Read to the end, you should.

Revealed, the power of meta-fiction will be.

Tears for Yoda, you might. Found this on Mother of All Nerds, I did.

this was better than most official star wars content

@deadcatwithaflamethrower

I’m… I’ll just be over here…nursing a strong cup of Feels.. *sniff*

Librarians characters as Anna Kendrick tweets.

Tumblr… 

… why are you sending my Flying Nun-related ads? 

It’s just bizarre. 

Seriously

Why?

I mean, maybe their targetting has figured out how many former Catholics became witches, and it’s just guessing that might be the case?

I wrote a book that has nuns in it? But like there were werewolves too. 

Why isn’t it picking up on the werewolves?

Because then the Tumblr Venn Diagram of "Interests held by @cannibalcoalition " and "Interests held by @thebibliosphere " would be a perfect circle and the servers would crash due to the divide by zero error that would create.

Ominous positivity

You will be okay. You have no choice.

Welcome to Night Vale.

Found on a clinic computer in Fallout 76. @thebibliosphere, is this you?

welcome to the age of female superheroes

this video is my sexuality

Okay that cut from Captain Marvel to Wonder Woman to Valkyrie–I have needed that my whole life.

Inspired @connorsquarter ‘s post

I feel like I’m playing the most suspenseful moment of a Bioshock game and this is the audio recording I’ve found in the bottom of a trash can

Have I ever mentioned how much I love, Love, LOVE Daja’s pov in Pierce’s Emelan series? I am a jeweler, and did a ton of metalsmithing in undergrad, so I fangirled during her pov’s because Pierce actually does her homework on the craft.

Oh wow, this is so cool, I rarely see Circle series fan art, let alone Daja. I love it!

One, this is amazing art, @ace-artemis-fanartist.

Two, @thebibliosphere: Mom, you read the Circle series?!? I so rarely find other Tamora Pierce fans.

I LOVE Tamora! She was one of my first literary loves as a kid :) I learned to spin thread cause of Sandry lol.

Tamora Pierce was one of my favorite writers growing up, and still is. I still buy her books as a grown-ass lady because I fucking love them. When I’m sick and need a comfort read you can bet I’m going to grab something by either Pierce, or Robin McKinley. Daja is amazing here.

I lost some of her books when I moved continents and one of the first things I did was amble over to the bookstore and try to replace them (with frustratingly little result, but I’ve managed it over the years by haunting the used book stores). Authors like @tamorapierce stay with you forever, even if I can never seem to find her in a Barnes and Noble, or a Waterstones when I’m back home.

When I got a kindle the first thing I did was buy and download all the official Tamora Pierce books I could find, starting with the Circle and then Circle Opens series.

After that it was Alanna, then Kel, then anyone else I hadn't read about yet.

She is easily one of my favourite authors, alongside Terry Pratchett and Isobelle Carmody.

i dont really… WANT… to leave tumblr. ive been here since 2011

no other platform has the right format for me to just randomly barf actual thoughts, joaks, and genuine creative content all in the same breath. i dont know how to compartmentalize

every other platform you gotta be a real person. Here you are you’re icon and username and whatever your hyperfixation is at the current moment

on tumblr you can make a post that just says “minecraft” and get 50k notes, where on twitter you have to steal tweets and instagram you have to be hot. tumblr is more like a bunch of kids let loose in walmart where there are no rules and the only god is a bald swedish man

minecraft

Tumblr: a summary.

This is a Long Ride 

So one of the things that cracks me up about Leverage is that Eliot is, as far as I can tell, good at everything. Like they’re like, “Okay Eliot, you have to handle X” and he’s like “[sigh] FINE” and then he owns it.

Thus far just off the top of my head he has been:

(even apart from his skill with beating people up and related hitter talents, which I am not counting because that is the premise of his character)

Plus also he is apparently irresistible to women, a trope that I normally find obnoxious but that I cannot really argue with in this case because I would find him sort of hard to resist. (Hardison is far, far more my type, but Eliot is hot. Also I have a weakness for men with long hair. Well, anybody with long hair really but especially men. I should put ‘having your hair look silky and glossy even after you’ve beaten up fifteen people’ on the list of skills above, I think. I would like to know what conditioner he uses.)

…And all this ought to make his character insufferable. And yet he isn’t. Because he is hands-down the most put-upon member of the team. He may technically be the hitter, but he’s also the one where people are like, “Eliot. You have a bag of jelly beans. Use that to convince them that you are an orca trainer and should be permitted in the tank with the angry Shamu” or “Eliot, we need you to pretend to be an Olympic snowboarder, you have ten minutes to find a snowboard, GO.” 

And then afterwards he puts his head down on the table and moans quietly to himself while getting surprisingly little respect for being able to yank expert cooking/singing/baseball/whatever skills out of his ass.

Oh, Eliot. This is why I want to give you five hundred hugs. 

(This is inspired by having just watched the episode where Eliot has to masquerade as a country music star and gets a fan club in like fifteen minutes. Mr Badger and I had this conversation:

Me: I have figured out who Eliot is.

Mr Badger: Who?

Me: Barbie.

Mr Badger: Elucidate?

Me: He is good at everything, apparently. And Barbie was, what, a doctor, a lawyer, a presidential candidate, an astronaut, a veterinarian–

Mr Badger: –and got shockingly little respect for it.

Me: And had beautiful hair.)
