the blog of a disabled mother who likes to game, and "get in the pit"
Monster’s best female friend was taking ballet classes, and he wanted to be like her when he found out. I bought him this ballet leotard due to that and he absolutely loved it for as long as he could fit himself into it.
I have jammed to this song for absolutely forever now, so it is only fitting that I post it up here as well.
Discord lets you choose layouts if you have Nitro! I liked a lot of them but chose to go with this one.
And regarding what I wrote about in my last post: I would go so far as to say that the majority of my hobbies and interests are encapsulated in what I am — or am not — willing to talk about on Discord. (Notice that I’ve joined absolutely no fandom-related servers, and it’s going to stay that way for as long as I use this thing…)
Let’s just say that I am slightly more likely to want to discuss the fact that I do not believe in god, living in the Bible belt, than I am to want to discuss the “meta” of anything that has a fandom and I am fine with that.
Apparently if you Retweet a video that an actor in the Supernatural franchise has posted because you like the video, this sets off an entire chain of events whereby members of the fandom decide what “side” you’re on (do you “support” this person? are you “against?” this person?) and begin chainblocking you — as though they had never stopped in the first place — over this one thing. The seriousness to which these people take fandom, and some people take Retweeting (do you even capitalize that? someone let me know) or sharing a video that you like is more than absurd at this point. If it gets to the point — and it has gotten to the point — where I have to explain this to friends of mine that I grew up with, and they find it as awkward and weird as I am presently finding it, you’ve got a problem. We’ve got a problem. There is a problem. This is the problem.
I’d consider making a tag and naming it “fandom drama”, but I want to starve the beast, not feed it.
