Fandom Venting

This one thing is just... the worst.

I just learned that someone in hockey fandom that I recently became friends with is good friends with gracee and reyton. Friend, make better choices, please.

I don't want to unfollow them but I also don't want to see all that rhetoric that gracee and her crew spew on my dash. What do I do?

Someone vague blogged mean things about a fic and I'm almost positive that it was mine. I wouldn't even mind that much if it was but the uncertainty is killing meeeeeeeeeeee.

Enough with the rookie animal transformation ffs.

Re: Fandom Venting

Not strictly this fandom, but ARGH. I desperately need there to be a platform that replaces tumblr. I went to visit my dash today, and got auto-play audio! That is ridiculous. Apparently, the only way around it is to disable your ad-blocker and then enable the anti-capitalism extension on Xkit.

I assume the author was going for the "Texas Rangers" effect and PK and Tavares were GTA boys together, but it was still just WRONG to see JT, New York *Ranger* in that Western AU Carey/PK.

Athletes, how dare you lock your instagram accounts. You're interfering with vital research!

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Not a fandom vent precisely, but inspired by a bunch of sports twitterati mocking an athlete (who I don't even like!) for blocking them.

He already has to deal with the media, maybe he simply prefers not to come across you trashing him while he's on his personal twitter account. Just a thought!

It irritates me when people say "you can find me on my tumblr - which is currently on hiatus." If I mean yes if I'm going to the effort of finding you somewhere I'm glad you mentioned you aren't actually active there. But why are you pointing people there when you aren't actually using it??

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I wish these two authors would stop cowriting, because the quality of work goes down when they do.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I am trying to get ready for work, twitter, I don't have time to scroll to find whatever rpf related wank you're all reacting to this morning. Can you just link whatever you're wanking to?

Re: Fandom Venting

Why do I even read threads about hockey players in legal trouble? God dammit, Reddit. Yes, I'm sure they're all lying for a payday when E Kane was fucking caught on video.

I'm just going to go bash my head against something.

If I had a dollar for every time a self-proclaimed hockey guru on Tumblr displayed exactly three years of hockey knowledge, I'd have enough money physically fly out to wherever they may be and fight them over my team's honor.

This is not so much a vent as it is a lament. But I'm currently involved in a fic exchange that I was really happy about until I snooped on my gift recipient's blog (to try and include some more of their likes in the story) and found out they're a hardcore PKane supporter.

I know, I know. That's the risk you run etc etc. But the blatant support bothers me. It really does. The exchange is for a completely different team so I figured I was safe?

But am I completely naive? Whinging for nothing? I just... It bothers me and I have no-one I can really share this with because my beta says I need to suck it up and get over it.

Re: Fandom Venting

As a Bruins fan it's kind of driving me crazy to see Oilers fans repeat pretty much verbatim the same things Chiarelli fed to the Boston media about Seguin (but about Hall, obviously). It's pretty much same shit, different team, and it kind of makes me want to scream. At least the oilers got back something they needed this time, and maybe Hall was causing locker room problems or whatever, but the Seguin trade was in retrospect such a short-sighted fuckup that I'm kind of in disbelief that another fanbase is letting him get away with this bs again.

I'm pretty sure imogenedisease or what the heck ever she calls herself now she spends more time on those stupid polls than she does writing tbh

Super petty I know but I realllllly don't care about whoever Jaya Singh is because all of her female characters are the same "eye-rolling at those dumb boys who I am feistier and stronger than and can scare into submission with a hair flip and a look" type.

It's her blog and she can do whatever she wants I know, but she's literally getting paid to write full time at this point so I'm kind of bitter that I've contributed some money to her kickstarter/patreon thing and she's not writing more than she had been.

Re: Fandom Venting

I admit that at this point I dislike Rest mostly for petty reasons, but the way they talk about Jamie Benn's lisp bothers me so much and makes me so uncomfortable.

Someone's speech impediment is not a fun personality quirk that gives them ~character~. It's not something for you to think is interesting and to enjoy, what the hell?

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

One day I will stop clicking on James Neal fics out of morbid curiosity.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Not specific to this fandom but, hoo boy, am I over fics not taking characters slapping/being slapped seriously. Assaulting someone over a perceived slight (but don't worry, it was just miscommunication!) or to Educate the Dumb Guy really isn't cute.

Re: Fandom Venting

Lorrrrrrd why so much bad fic??

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Who the hell is Seb, imogenedisease, why am I supposed to vote in a poll about him.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I wish there was an emoji to properly express my feelings when I'm reading something and the author refers to non-gender swapped Connor McDavid as "Connie" and I'm pulled out of the story so quickly it's like the record scratching sound effect.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

No, author, Connor McDavid is not going to be poached by some other team at the end of his ELC. If you're not going to try and get the details right, why not just stick to coffee shop AUs? >:(

I really don't think anyone on the Habs is going to be mad they "only" got Shea Weber for PK. Mad they moved PK at all, sure. But take a step back from all the post-trade analysis about how Weber is barely a top 100 dman in the league to realize how respected he is amongst the players.
