So, there's a lot of hysteria on my f-list right now, and people getting alternately angry and weepy over something that I do not know anything about and am not remotely interested in. I am just strangely confused, because--and maybe this is my fandom age showing, seeing as how I've been doing fandom things for over a decade, now--this is what always happens when something gets big. A fandom gets big and it gets attention and it gets f_wed and people bitch about how it's taking over and... whatever. All the time. I remember when it happened with SGA a few years ago (reaction then: Oh, hey, like the show with MacGyver and Scully's dad that we used to watch; reaction now: oooooh, so that's what they were talking about), I remember when it happened with SPN just last year (reaction then: oh, hey, I meant to watch that show. maybe I'll get around to it someday; probable reaction in the future: oooooh, so that's what they were talking about!), and it's totally happened with bandom now.
But you know what? I don't care. Because you're my f-list and I love you and there are still people out there that like what I like.
What I like is this:
DINOSAURS.
As long as we all like dinosaurs, I think everything will turn out okay in the end.
I think this calls for a picspam, internet. Let me show you my dinosaurs.
Oh man, that guy has something to say! I bet it is "ROAR!!!!"
Pterodactyls like fish! They swooped down to get them from lakes, etc, like some of today's birds! This is a True Fact.
When Brendan and I were little, we called these ones "ankys." They were friends with the carnivores AND the herbivores when we played dinosaurs.
When I was little, diplodocus was my favourite dinosaur. I am very predictable.
"HI THERE!!!" He is very excited to see you.
Doesn't this Trike-y have awesome eyes?
This is a Hadrosaur! Hadrosaurs were found in Haddonfield, NJ! (This is also a True Fact.)
Oh no! This girl is being eaten by a dinosaur skeleton!
It's entirely possible these dinosaurs want to eat you. I'm just warning you.
Stegosaurus, just chilling.
Don't you wish you were hanging out here?
He looks grumpy.
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
All the dinosaurs are hanging out together! Look!
LOOK WHAT I FOUND! IT'S ANOTHER PICTURE FROM THAT GAME THAT MADE THAT PICTURE THAT I LOVE:
WHAT IS THIS GAME? MORE IMPORTANTLY: WHY DON'T I OWN IT??
And here's some other dinosaur stuff that I have that is important:
There's a dinosaur on my shirt!
And here are some of my many plastic dinosaurs.
ACK THEY ARE FIGHTING!
Now they are making out! That's oddly disturbing!

I hope you all enjoyed that as much as I did. And I hope you all remember that the internet is for porn dinosaurs fun. THAT IS WHAT FANDOM IS ABOUT, GUYS.
