my nerves aren't up to this challenge

Jul 11, 2009 11:53

Sigh, fandom. Sigh. I went to bed really pissed off at the internet and fandom (all fandom, not just SPN) for breeding so much hate - and the illusion that it is totally acceptable and normal to have that level of hate, be it for a fangirl or celebrity or anyone who didn’t deliberately run over your dog. (And even then, wouldn’t you be more ( Read more... )

fetch me the smelling salts, my pearls i shall clutch them, jared loves his governess, my opinions matter guys!, fandom and stuff, you're all a bunch of meanies, all aboard the dramallama

(CASTIEL STILL SUCKS THOUGH.)

I STRONGLY REFUTE THIS CLAIM.

I totally get where you're coming from, with this. I am really shocked and appalled at the shenanigans going on in Torchwood fandom, but it's like... I get annoyed by people going "FUCK YOU RTD, YOU SADIST PRICK", but if a character I really liked got shafted, would I really be any more sane or rational? Probably not. I feel like a hypocrite, telling fandom to calm down and play nice, when outside of my journal I'm incredibly bitchy and negative and misanthropic as of late. I keep telling people to grow up and gain some perspective, but arguments on the internet ensure I spend the rest of my night feeling angry and restless.

Cruelty on the internet upsets me too. It's like... there's no reason for it. Would you act that way in real life? No? Have you never considered why that is? Because it's NOT A GREAT WAY TO LIVE.

Perhaps I am also a delicate flower.

LET'S BAND TOGETHER AND SHAKE GLITTERY SNOWFLAKES OF ANGELWING DANDRUFF ALL OVER TREE'S LJ UNTIL THE HATERS ARE UTTERLY DISPELLED BY THE SHEER GLORY AND WONDERMENT OF THE ANGELFACTION.

IN THIS ICON CAS IS THE UNICORN.

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE.

OR WE COULD JUST GET CAS TO MAKE HIS SAD PANDA FACE.

NOBODY CAN RESIST HIS SAD PANDA FACE.

wanttobeatree July 11 2009, 12:19:20 UTC

I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF HIS SAD PANDA FACE.

FACE.

zeitheist July 11 2009, 12:21:28 UTC

YOU MONSTER.

DEAN WINCHESTER CAN'T RESIST CASTIEL'S SAD PANDA FACE, AND HE'S HAD PRACTISE. WHAT CHANCE DO YOU STAND, HMM TREE?

wanttobeatree July 11 2009, 12:23:47 UTC

BUT DEAN WINCHESTER HAS BEEN PSYCHOLOGICALLY CONDITIONED TO RESPOND TO SAD PANDAS. YOU COULD PAINT A SAD PANDA ON THE WALL AND HE WOULD TRY TO COMFORT IT.

zeitheist July 11 2009, 12:26:04 UTC

... I TOTALLY READ THAT LAST PART AS "TRY TO HUMP IT".

SADLY, THAT IS MORE PLAUSIBLE THAN HIM TRYING TO COMFORT IT.

wanttobeatree July 11 2009, 12:27:27 UTC

NO NO NO, CASTIEL IS THE ONE WHO TRIES TO HUMP WALLS. HE'S LEARNING ABOUT HUMAN PLEASURE, GUYS! HE JUST WANTS TO UNDERSTAND!

zeitheist July 11 2009, 12:42:43 UTC

IS IT BAD I STILL FIND THIS ADORABLE?

wanttobeatree July 11 2009, 14:03:35 UTC

NO, NO IT IS NOT. I FIND IT ADORABLE TOO. MY FAVOURITE CASTIEL IS THE ONE THAT LIVES IN MY HEAD AND RUBS HIMSELF AGAINST THINGS IN A QUEST TO UNDERSTAND HUMANITY :(

fannishliss July 12 2009, 00:21:13 UTC

CASTIEL IS LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND HUMANITY THROUGH TWINKIES AND STATIC CLING.
the static cling explains the thing with his hair.

I CHALLENGE YOUR REBUTTAL.

And just... eurgh. Yes. The sheer level of maliciousness on the internet is ridiculous. I've always argued, when people come down on fandom behaviour, that people are just as bitchy and prone to drama offline, too. But in real life, it isn't celebrated. Online, it seems like whenever someone, or a group of people, take their cruelty up a notch, people just accept that as the NEW STANDARD. Myself included, tbh! It's ridiculous.
