Watch This! Josh's Got A Gun
I've been neglectful in posting videos of All My Children because... erhm... I don't know. I just have. I guess I figured people didn't really care or need them anymore then I realized it's convenient for me and my god, meeeee. So I'm posting with Bianca and Reese clips from January 15 -19.
However, I won't be talking about the scenes from the show but going on yet another fandom based rant that I swear to almighty Jeebus isn't about specific people but just crap I always see happening in fandom that bums me out and makes me move onto other things.
I get people in fandom like to ship couples. I love to ship couples. sulkygeek even likes to claim I named the ship for Helena and Alice on The L Word which is Helacious. I still think it was something we both came up at during ungodly late at night Yahoo chat. Anyway! I get the need to ship couples. It's fun and it's a part of fandom and I do it too or I wouldn't write romantic fanfic for certain couples.
However, the one thing I hate is when people go insane over their ships to the point that they feel compelled to bash periphery characters who really don't deserve it. That's why I never liked BAM or Tibette as a ship because their shippers were so rabid they tended to bash on characters who they perceived as interfering with their beloved couple to the point they were just... well, sort of crazy and mean. I didn't like that at all.
Now that exact same thing is happening with All My Children fans for Bianca and Reese. They've got a huge hate on for Zach because he's too close to Reese and all the spoilers obviously produced to create controversy hint at them romantically hooking up. Look, I don't like that weird romantic hints they're doing with them either but do I hate Zach for it? No. I just dislike that people seem to be taking every fucking chance whenever they post to bash Zach. I mean, I was just in a thread about casting for Reese's mother, who is an actress I actually know, Laila Robins, and they felt compelled to bash him there too.
BTW, for those interested, I know her from the movie Live Nude Girls which is quite entertaining with Dana Delaney, Kim Cattrall, and Olivia d'Abo. It has lesbians and a slumber party. Fun! The title is misleading though. There is a severe lack of nudity.
To get back onto rant topic, I just think this behavior is stupid. People bitch about how Reese is treated on regular AMC boards by Zendall fans and the more mainstream soap opera watching public and then they go ahead and treat Zach the same way Reese is being treated. Hello? Hypocritical much? I'm not fond of him because he gives me an eerie Sonny from General Hospital vibe and I will not have my beloved All My Children going down that same shite path despite my Tamara love. Does this mean I interject Zach sucks! He's evil! into everything I say? Noooo. Fucking be balanced.
Crazy ass fandom. Why am I still in it? Oh yeah, because I am a nerd. As always, watch the videos top to bottom for chronological viewing order.
