changed my username because im scared people would think its weird or smth because (shota/loli)—con ueh it just means complex doesnt it? ya i did take it from the word itself but like. it just means that i have an obsession with collaaapse idk man i just liked the sound of it LOL

fyi collapsecomplex has the same meaning as collapsecon (aka. i really like collapse) but collapsecon probably sounds worse because of the meaning/implication or something?

oh damn yea i kinda just gave up on that too what were they thinking giving us an assignment to do towards the end of the term

me to people online: rest and take ur time, don’t burn yourself out <3

me to my friends: it’s ok, one fail is not the end of the world <3

me to this one specific person secret third thing friends-lovers thing: you’re amazing and deserve better <3

me to myself:

“work your ass off until you win. until you’ve surpassed all of them. tired? HA! the others are getting ahead. keep working, dumb bitch.”

“do you see how close that grade is to failing? you passed? wow, how cool! it’s still really fucking far from perfect.”

“you’re absolutely horrible to everyone. they’re just sticking around. they never loved you. you don’t deserve all this. get better and you might. emphasis on might.”

real asf me to myself as well LOL (coping) you really do deserve better though it might not work but try putting yourself in third person and imagine yourself as someone else its ok to be self-critical but if you cuss yourself out over something you'd comfort someone else over maybe you shouldnt be that self-critical (hypocrisy!!!) also since when did you almost fail and if you did why didnt u tell me :sob:

“this ship is not canon” babe, they’re fictional characters. they’re not real. they’re literally dolls we play with. we don’t care about whether or not these fictional characters’ love story is canon in this piece of media that is also entirely based on fiction. I mean, sure, canon would be lovely, but it’s a bonus. it’s not necessary. what we care about is the fun of talking about these 2 idiots being in love.

we don’t give a fuck if they didn’t kiss in “canon”. they had raw sex in thousands of fics about them though. and I’d say that’s more than enough to make people who ship them happily ship them even harder. happy shipping!

or hell if you're too lazy or don't want to spend time or money just lay in your bed imagine your favorites kissing and giggle thats what i do when i have no motivation

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

its literally free and there are already warnings, when you see something you don't like its not like you wasted idk $5 and 10 minutes reading something you wont like, the back button exists for a reason !!!

the no algorithm thing actually makes it better, that means you're actively searching for things and you choose which to read. so the people who read to complain are there by their own free will

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

reblog if you’re okay with people writing fanfics of your fanfics and/or fanfics inspired by your fanfics

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.

shoutout to my favorite fictional characters, favorite people, favorite ships, favorite movies, favorite tv shows, fanfics and archive of our own

Literally all of us after the newest chapter:

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

“why do you ship them? I thought the ship wasn’t canon?” bro we’re talking about fictional characters, who don’t actually exist in real life, from a media that focuses solely on fictional events that are not real either. so what if these two made-up characters didn’t kiss in their source material? they have lots of nasty gay sex on archive of our own and thousands of novel length slow burn enemies to lovers fics written about them. the fanon content at this point far exceeds the whole canonical franchise. the problem isn’t “it’s not canon” the problem is that you don’t allow yourself to let go of canon and enjoy the wonder of fan contents that are just as good / valid

and somehow im both simultaneously.

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

sometimes you’re hit with a friendly realization that yes, life is good. you have your comfort characters and you have archive of our own. life is actually beautiful

ohh hes so cutieful i love him

OHH THATS ME I LOVE THAT FIC SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT 😭😭 YOUR LEN IS SO GOATED I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW HIM um lavie lavie chu i like the game lavie is for

hi, did you by chance make the rekailen fanfiction Stargazing? idk why i just get the feeling sorry if you didn't i also love neru and 3 and lavie btw...

HOLY MOLY YES THATS MY FANFIC😭😭😭😭 thank you for finding me…..that’s so crazy… also YAAAAH NERU AND SURII ARE SO GOATED!!!!

i’m taking a writing class rn and we’re making our own short stories and mine is basically kailen fanfiction except i changed their names HDHDHDHSDH

i hate when you google a word and some fucking company comes up instead. Do you think you are more important than the english dictionary you piece of shit corporation

agreed, fans should not be afraid to interact with the author of a fic they like because in the end we all like that thing and its what brings us together, lol

plus, as an author, comments and kudos give me motivation and fuel me to write. a lot of the times i do talk about fics to other people, but i do kudos all the fics i like

i dont get why people are so afraid to show their appreciation to an author when in the end we’re all loser enough to write and read about fictional characters. plus, kudos exists for a reason, and even if youre too scared to kudos something on your account, you could do it on a guest or something idk

i definitely agree with this entirely btw

So recently I've noticed a lot of discussion in fandom spaces regarding how readers discuss fics in private Discord servers without the author present, and as a fanfic writer myself, I'm... kind of conflicted.

On one hand, I believe that readers have the right to a space away from the author where they can freely share their thoughts on the fic with one another, especially when those thoughts are not 100% positive nor otherwise appropriate to share with the author directly. Discussing a fic with your friends is a very different social situation to leaving a comment directly on the fic where you'd expect the author to see it, so I can understand why some readers choose to do one but not the other, especially since many authors don't want any constructive criticism nor anything perceived as negative in their fic comments. I will admit, I do sometimes wonder if, or how often, people talk about my writing in private spaces, but it's only an idle curiosity, not a thought that keeps me up at night.

On the other hand, if a bunch of people talk about a particular fanfic in a private server, but none of them comment on the fic directly, or worse, leave kudos, then that's kind of weird, IMO. I've read anecdotes from fellow writers detailing how they got little to no feedback on their fic and thought nobody was reading it, only to discover that a bunch of people were reading it, but only sharing their thoughts in a private space the author wasn't privy to. That's fucked up. Fanfiction authors should not be seen as above their readers, even if their fics are on Heat Waves levels of notoriety. We're fans just like you, and we'd love to have the opportunity to discuss our work with fellow fans. If our work means so much to you that you stay up all night reading it, that you can't stop thinking about it, that you're driven to gush about it with your friends – we want to hear about it! If you're going to talk about a fic in a private space, the very least you could do is leave kudos, just to let the author know that yes, someone is out there reading and enjoying their stuff. Again, readers have the right to that private space, and to be honest I personally don't mind if they don't also comment directly on my fics; that's absolutely fine, I consider comments to be a lovely bonus rather than an expectation. But I know how hurtful and isolating it can be to think that nobody even cares enough to say "thank you, I liked this!" in response to a piece of writing you've poured your heart and soul into.

Idk, that's just my two cents on the matter.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

Random rant about fandoms that nobody asked me for but I feel like writing about: I think some people should just use YouTube and Pinterest.

I think at this point we've all heard the phrase "let's go back to when fandoms were for freaks" and while I miss that too, I think I like the phrase "let's go back to when people in fandoms knew what being in a fandom consisted" better because I can't think of any fandom on any social media that isn't plagued with people who are in fandoms but hate everything involved by them.

This has been going on for years now and it was progressive, but I sometimes find it unbearable to constantly read things like "it's not that deep", "why do people argue about this, we should just make/watch gifs and that's it", etc. Like obviously there are things I find "ridiculous" to discuss, but I find those things ridiculous outside of fandoms too not just in them (ex: most things related to physical appearance).

Fandoms are community, they are spaces created by and for people who share the same interest to interact, share and discuss ideas about that piece of media they have in common. Like any human community, there are going to be people who agree with an idea and people who don't, but that's true of any social interaction. It's not something that can be avoided, even in the fandoms of the "simplest" media you can think of.

The basis of fandoms is the interpretation and dissemination of ideas. If all you want to do is watch the series/film/interview/etc and look at gifs/fan art/edits/etc, you should consider just lurking on YouTube and Pinterest, because if what bothers you most about fandoms is interaction and discussion, then I don't think they're for you.

There's nothing wrong with fandoms not being for you, they are recreational spaces after all. A lot of people (like me) enjoy that interaction as a way to escape from everyday life for a while, even if that interaction involves discussion, but some people don't and that's fine! You're not less of a fan, or a worse fan of something/someone for not wanting to interact with their fandom. At the end of the day, we all want to escape our problems for a while, and if that discussion affects you or creates anxiety, your priority should be you and your peace, therefore you should consider stop interacting with them. I know it's hard sometimes because of emotional attachment, but if you suffer more than you enjoy a fandom, that's a problem. It's supposed to make you happy and clear your head, not create discomfort.

That annoyance that your fandom generates in you is reflected in your interactions. They show that you're genuinely not enjoying it, and that often causes other people to stop doing it. On social media there are many ways to filter, mute and block content, you don't like something? Ignore it, not difficult. You don't have to be interested in or have an opinion on every topic in fandom, it's not a requirement of them. You can choose which discussions to participate in and which not to.

Of course I roll my eyes too when I see Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande fans fighting over who has more stage presence on Twitter, but I don't need to get involved and let everyone know how idiotic I find that conversation. I don't pay attention to it, if they want to fight let them fight. Just because I say "hey, don't argue" isn't going to change anything. That's why we have to know when to pass by and ignore. If the conversation matters to me because of X or Y, I give my opinion, but if it really "doesn't interest me", why do I give it? The only thing I generate is bad feeling for myself, because my one opinion doesn't have the power to change everything. If you enjoy giving your opinion on anything and it doesn't cause you stress, do it! But if you are aware that it does, what's the point?

The media is there to analyse it, discuss it, re-interpret it, create more media based on it, etc. I don't accept that anti-intellectual bullshit "it's not that deep, the producer of this film/writer of this book didn't do X thing intentionally". If you don't want to read interpretations, don't voluntarily look for interpretations. Nothing and no one forces you to participate in a fandom. You can be forced to participate in many other social interactions, but not this one. If you don't like them, it's as simple as leaving.

"This fandom is extremely toxic" is it really that toxic on the level you're talking about, or do you just think that when everyone is discussing and exchanging ideas, everyone is fighting and suffering and this creates stress for you, even though they can be totally fine? Besides, I speak not only from my own experience but also from the experience of many friends, you can argue and seem to be negatively affected and in reality it is indifferent to you, not a problem. So even if the argument seems to "super affect" those who make it, it's not so in many cases. You who see it interpret that because that's what they communicate, but what they communicate is not necessarily what they feel.

The fandoms are drama because all media is dramatic. You're supposed to be here to scream about problems and situations that don't exist in your job/family/studies/etc. Every conversation is a "non-serious issue". You don't have to talk about "real issues" all the time, learn to have fun. If every time you see someone arguing about anything, you automatically just think that person is miserable and suffering because of fandoms, you are the one who is actually miserable and suffering because of fandoms, because if your first interpretation of any interaction is with such a negative outlook, you have the negative outlook.

No matter what your fandom is about, you are here to create your own world, your own adventure. Engage with fan art of that headcanon ship, read/write that rpf story, post your personal interpretation of that song you like that is probably not the original reason the artist wrote it, put together characters from various fandoms, do whatever you want. You have so many rules already in your day to day life, why do you want to put rules on your fun? What the fuck do you care how the others finds a way to not suffer so much from this horrible system we live in?

When I say "fuck the police" I mean the fun police too. Be gay, do crime <3

YOU!! YES, YOU!! GO WRITE THAT FANFIC YOU THINK NOBODY BUT YOU WILL READ!!

theyre so cuuute aa
