" like its the ice cream truck but they never seem to notice the quick jingle that plays when billy detransforms

LMFAO hey tumblr folk i forgot you existed take this drawing i made last night while sleep deprived

diona!!!!!

oh captain what has zeus done to you

A very powerful villain has attacked Earth. It took a very powerful spell.

Marvel: I have an idea how to defeat him with one spell. But I'll need time to cast it.

Superman: Do what you have to do. I'll buy us time.

Solomon: Billy, no.

Zeus: Billy, yes.

Marvel straightens up and starts dancing. Smooth movements of the pelvis and waist, and don't forget to play with breasts.

Marvel: Thunder, bring her through the wringer. Show her I'm the judgment call. The one who makes her kingdom fall.

Zeus: Oh yeah!

The others: I don't want to look at this disgrace.

Marvel: Lightning, wield her, use and yield her, show her what she can't conceal for true nature will be revealed!!

The mother of all lightning falls on the villain, instantly turning him to ash. Everyone looks at Marvel. Captain looked at everyone awkwardly, clasping his fingers and looking like a beaten puppy.

I was reading this post over on the Ao3 subreddit this evening and I think it brings up a lot of good points about how fandom, as a community, has been shifting in its treatment towards fanfic writers.

Fanfic is more popular than ever, which means there are more works "competing" for the readers' attention, who take on a passive approach that treats fanworks not as a means to talk to people with similar interests, but as content, as products. [...] Gift cultures thrive not on monetary exchanges, but on the expectation that the gifts freely given will be returned in an unspecified future through emotional and relational means. This used to set fandom apart, but it's slowly being absorbed into the mainstream way capitalism operates. Where does that leave us?

And it's demotivating to see the responses authors get when expressing their grievances with this state of affairs, or how they feel underappreciated. Being called entitled, told to write for themselves, or to promote their work as if writing and posting isn't enough. I write for myself, I post for the community. There are things I want to say about the source material and characters, and I do through storytelling. And I'm grateful about each of the comments I got, no matter how short. It's just that it doesn't feel like there's a community out there when no one talks back. Writers aren't just expected to write, but to do it for the "right reasons", and to also be as pleasant about it as possible, lest they'll be criticized by more people than the amount that's offering them support.

I've seen posts going around on tumblr that have approached this topic as well--that fanworks (particularly fanfic) should be created from the perspective of a perfect vessel that can pour, pour, pour out and never needs to be poured into. You should do it for the "right reasons" and not complain because "no one owes you interaction". But what is fandom if not interaction?

Writing fanfic is one of the most time-consuming labors of love that makes up a fandom. (That's not to say other fanworks aren't labors, time-consuming, or made with love. We're talking about fanfic). Your 300k+ enemies to lovers slowburn porn-with-plot fic that has reshaped the entire way you approach a specific pairing or media has been made with time, effort, for free, with the intention to be shared with you.

And in the state of current fandom, it has been made with the expectation to receive nothing back. Is that fair? Maybe. Silent readers exist and a kudos on Ao3 is at least an acknowledgment that some people read and enjoyed. But does it hurt to leave a comment? Even a heart emoji or an "I loved this, thank you for sharing!" is enough to at least start a dialogue, a conversation, form a connection.

That's not even to mention the isolation of fandom interactions to private Discords; time after time I've heard from fanfic authors who found out that there have been discord servers or twitter groupchats where their fanfic has been discussed, loved, and lauded at length--but never once was the author told this! Ao3 has comments for a reason. Many authors link their tumblr profiles or emails in their bio for people to reach out to them.

It's just a sorry state to see it go.

hi gays

RFUUCKKK

FYCJKK FUCK I FORGTO I HAD A TUMBLR FUCKKK HI GUYS GLAD TO BE BACK????

Heyyy...wait...wouldn't it be funny if Billy Batson meets Detective Conan and the Scientist Sherry??? Wouldnt it be funny if Batson just met other people who could do stuff like he does albeit just by changing their ages?

Except, Batson doesn't know that the adult Sherry and Conan is their real identity and not the kid identity while Conan and Sherry thinks Batson's real identity is Marvel and the kid version of him is just him wanting to hide his identity for rest time.

Even then, Sherry and Conan still treated Batson like he really was just a normal human kid cuz for some reason, they can't help it. Batson was too energetic unlike them.
