I’m V aimmyarrowshigh, she/her/hers, 36. The fandoms I currently post the most about are the MCU (especially Captain America and Wanda) and Star Wars, but I post extremely varied content – I do tag everything, so your blacklist should work with the basic name(s) of whatever you don’t want to see. You’re probably here for…

i just rewatched this clip and honestly my characterization of steve rogers is…not…..hardcore….enough. this guy is. just. like. an honest to god assault aircraft comes at him with a machine gun and he speeds up at it. like oh yes i hope youve got a can opener because this two thousand gallon drum of whoopass is coming most directly your way. and honestly? it tracks. it tracks! in catfa he’s shown leaping onto flying hydra aircraft and just ripping the pilots out like whupty doo son this flight is now an american express!! bye bitch!! yeet!!! one pansy ass quinjet? to stop steve steel balls rogers? steven grant six foot twenty fucking invented cocaine motherfucking rogers? you have got to be out of your god damned mind

listen. as funny and quality as it is to have bucky be the sheepdog to steve’s rabid ram i FULLY believe that bucky barnes is on this ride because he likes the goddamn horsepower. james buchanan is here because he wants to watch his feral twink take on god and when he becomes a 300lb war ballerina barnes wants to watch him plow the devil. in costume. are ya keeping the outfit steve?? are ya?? bucky knows better than anybody how mcfreakin tough steve is and he’s not ride or die despite the fact that steve is a human chainsaw, he’s there because of it

STRIKE team: give it up, Rogers! You’ve got nowhere to go! 

Steve: 

#BUCKY BARNES SAID THOTS RIGHTS #bucky barnes: lowkey a freaque! #nobody was wild enough for him in ninety forty bk baby! #he had his pick! #he chose to drop his split on the rogers rumble! #steve was put on this earth to punch the status quo in the balls and bucky barnes said hell yeah that’s my man! no other! #accept no substitutes! #yap yap

outsiders and boring normal people and fandom newbies always think that buckwild kinky porn fanfiction is the strangest fandom hobby but they are wrong.

the strangest fandom hobby is plotty fanfiction, the kind that requires research, because engaging in this hobby makes no goddamned sense.

it doesn’t even give anybody masturbation material, which is at least a logical and admirable goal that contributes to the betterment of society, or at least society’s solitary orgasms.

in other news i hope the cia spyware monitoring my internet usage understands that i’m googling information about smuggling drugs in thailand because i want the details to be right in a single paragraph in a 10,000 word story about a gay mafia guys.

this post has been making the rounds again and i just want to state for the record that it is a fucking delight to read in the tags all the random things people research for their fanfic and art. fandom, i love you. i love you with your flood maps and medical procedures and tentacle biology and historical fashion and traditional handcrafts and conlangs and urban geography and literally everything else. i am completely sincere about this. the enthusiasm with which people embrace detailed, deep, and often obscure research, just because they want to get it right, because they want to create something rich and interesting, it makes me feel better about the world. i adore it.

It’s a big one, y'all! This week, V and Emily rage their way through the anniversary of Strikethrough, or a mass censorship event on LiveJournal that destroyed huge swaths of fannish history for no fucking reason. Or rather, because a Christian special-interest group that hates queer people said that things were icky and LJ caved. If you haven’t heard of Strikethrough or need a refresher on why archives that aren’t beholden to advertisers are essential to the survival of fandom and fanfiction, come take a ride with us and let your blood pressure hit the roof. Were any of your fandoms a victim of Strikethrough?

This Week In Fandom History is a fandom-centric podcast that tells you… what happened this week in fandom history!

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

You know what I find really interesting? The different cultures of fandoms. 

Like one fandom I’m in is very visual-oriented. It’s lots of edits and gifs and a fair bit of fan art. There’s lots of fic, but not a very robust fic reccing or fic-sharing culture. The most popular fics are tumblr ask style fics–very short and stylized. 

Another fandom has a strong emphasis on meta, especially analyzing colour/costume/other design elements in the show. The fanfic feels much more old-school and puts a lot of emphasis on style and research. Interestingly, it also tends much more towards nsfw stuff. 

A different fandom also has a strong meta emphasis, but it’s much more in-universe meta analyzing characters. There’s a strong fan art tradition and a lot of excitement around rarepairs. But less of an editing/gifset tradition. 

Another fandom is super pairing-specific, to the point that any other shippers are practically non-existent. It’s super organized and has a super strong fic rec tradition and fic writing community. Again, wayyy less gifs here. 

It’s really interesting, bc the fandom cultures of these are so, so different and I jive better with some than others on the basis of my personal preferences. Like, I really like an emphasis on sharing meta, especially in-universe meta. I also really gravitate towards a strong fic writing, reccing and sharing community. And so there are actually subject materials that I love, but that I engage with fandom in less, or I get less out of that engagement, just because I don’t jive as much with the culture of the fandom. And vice versa, there are some media that I wouldn’t love as much, but I really love and get a lot out of the fandom experience. 

Some of it is probably the average age of the fandom. Some of it is the age or availability of the subject material. (It’s harder to gif a show that’s not widely available and/or poor quality etc.). But I think some of it is just honestly the people in the fandom, their preferences, and the way a culture develops out of that. Which is so, so interesting.

There’s a tumblr post floating around somewhere that says “We think that if we get better at writing, it will someday stop sounding like we wrote it” or something along those lines.

Does anyone happen to have a link handy? I want to reference it in an advice post.

Was it this one? 🤗

Yes, thank you so much!!!!!

[ID: a tweet by elicia donze that reads “People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there’s no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art. /end ID]
