This is completely random but the supernatural fandom on tumblr really scares me.
Today is just a hoot.

So, I should be glad that I don't tumblr? Archive of Our Own seems to be more my speed. Heck, I'm happy Speranza is doing a sort of Advent calendar story in a Stucky universe again.

I think it depends. I’m in my own little Doctor Who corner and I’m very particular about who I follow. I’ve met one of my best friends through there and learned DND during this horrible year because of it. Good and bad like everything else.

I’ve also seen a lot of Tony Stark is the villain in the marvel universe followed by essays of all his faults and why everything bad that ever happened goes back to him. It’s something.

There's one writer that I love who writes a lot of darker stuff, and they are calling her the N-word, hiding behind anons. And a ton of other writers are getting shit because "Chris wouldn't date a Black girl". Again behind anons.

I mean, I love Tony but they might not be wrong here 😂 But I also take a light hearted look at it all and I imagine these people are rather intense. One thing I love about Marvel is that the heros are also human. They have depth to them. And yeah, Tony is a hero. But he also is the engineer of his own destruction in a lot of ways. He had severely untreated PTSD in IM3. And it led him to creating Ultron and ultimately clinging to the shitty accords. But I'm not going to fight anyone on tumblr about it.

I haven't been on tumblr in so long my phone offloaded the app. I see it is still a cesspool though. I was noticing quite a bit of toxic behavior, not even connected to a specific fandom, just general statements that seems to get a lot of likes and agreeable notes.

Clearly you and I aren't "real" fans lol (said with a lot of sarcasm) It’s definitely why I prefer marvel to DC. I like characters that actually have faults and grow and fail etc. That’s just me though.

I like both DC and marvel, I definitely go to marvel when I want to see some character development and progressive storylines and stuff. And well done movies. But I want DC when I am not in the mood for drama. It just feels lighter and less serious to me, like the Geoff Johns run of Teen Titans doesn't have a heavy feel to it. Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night/Brightest Day, those were supposed to be serious I think but it just didn't feel that way. I read some Captain America and Black Widow collections not too long ago and something about it all was so heavy. Super well written and definitely gave the characters way more depth. But just different.

I have a love/hate with Tumblr. Bit I am ruthless in who I follow. I originally got really into it for Teen Wolf but I follow several other fandoms and I am never ceases to be amazed at some of the garbage people spew.
I hate it the most when assholes run my favorite people off and they take thier content down.

I still have yet to see any of the new Star Wars but I liked this article about mart sues. We’ve had this conversation before, which I definitely had to rethink why certain Mary Sue esque characters annoyed me! And I adore Gail Simone and think she is a treasure. www.themarysue.com/gail-simone-luke-skywalker-mary-sue/

I so wish HBO had a free trial so I could watch WW 1984! I have absolutely zero desire to add it on to our streaming services, and paying 12.99 for a month to just watch one movie at home seems silly, even though I'd pay more at the theater (With H and I going together, that's less than the price of two tickets). But it would just be my luck that I'd forget to cancel.
/end rant

My mom and I saw the first one in theaters and we really want to watch this one "together" so I was thinking I'd just do it for a month, see what other movies they had and basically watch HBO for a month, then cancel. I always set a reminder on my phone when I have free trials ending.

I'll discuss it with H. Maybe we'll try it. I'm just worried about forgetting. I paid for CBS Access for like 3 months because I kept forgetting.

We got the 6 month hbo thing for $70. We figured it would be worth it with future movie releases. We'll see if we want to re-up in June. I have convinced H to do the one month thing. now let's see if I remember to cancel. We're watching WW tomorrow.
