Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

a great dissection of why a lot of fandom drama doesn't only boil down to "these people are thinking too much about [insert series here] and need to touch grass." there's another layer to the way folks get obsessed (for parasocial/self-important rewriting/clout reasons, etc) that gets glossed over
by asneakyfox on tumblr:

one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts.

I’m so happy to see The Nice Guys finally getting its dues, even if it is on a decade delay! I went to see that movie by myself the opening week and I recall the screening being completely dead. Great for me getting to spread out, but it was very depressing once I realised just how good it was

The humid heat of the UK during heatwave time is unbearable in some specific ways for me because I HATE the sensation of being cold. So even when I really need to cool myself down so I don’t get heat stroke, having to take cool showers or put iced up towels on myself is own opposite kind of torture

assorted project hail mary doodles #phm #projecthailmary #art #doodle
doodle 1: Eva Stratt stares incredulously at the reader.  Text above her says, "When Dr. Grace says something so suicidephobic and you gotta hit him with that double coffee "we're euthanizing you" stare"

doodle 2: Eva Stratt stands over Ryland Grace's comatose body, clearly conflicted.  She wonders if they should add some last-minute decorations to the ship (presumably to liven things up for Grace when he wakes up five years from now).  She envisions a really well-designed, beautiful poster that says "Live, Laugh, Astrophage" on a low-res, blatantly copyrighted, pink bubble heart gradient background (made in canva).  Below it is a 5-star review from Dr. Grace himself, reading: "This poster is so great!  I can't wait to get put down like a dog!"Rocky has HAD ENOUGH.  He storms over to Grace, innocently doing science experiments with a generic science beakers, and points his finger accusingly.

ROCKY: Grace clothes still everywhere.  Grace get off lazy "ass" and clean up, statement.
(Note: Rocky is saying the word "as," with one "s," to get past the translation program.)

GRACE, OFFENDED: me???? ME????

GRACE, CONTINUED: Why don't YOU clean up all your xenonite experiments, STATEMENT.

ROCKY: ...Important projects.

GRACE: HOW.

We are then treated to a view of some of Rocky's Very Important Xenonite Projects.  These include:

- a 5-legged chair (better than four)
- an improved Rocky ball (not started) (soon) (...maybe)
- some kind of weird, bulbous sculpture thing, simply labeled as "okay i don't know what this one is
- a secret fourth project that is grace's five-month-old sock, laying on Rocky's highly innovative and unique 5-legged chair, that's more of a miscellaneous biology experiment than a proper xenonite project.  This one is all Grace's.  Grace should pick up now, statement.In the future, upon the ice, Stratt watches videos of Rocky boldly taking up space on the Hail Mary while Grace is unable to stop him.  In her mind flashes that tweet that goes "When you meet his friend group and he not the leader <<<<<<"

last thing i'll say about this for now is that you're absolutely allowed to dislike the direction a show is headed, or feel that a character you like was snubbed by the narrative. you're allowed to have those feelings, and criticism isn't bad - it's how you go about giving it that counts

It’s #IndieAnimationDay! Staving off the animation industry crash, I’m focusing my creative energies in 2026 into making a new short film. It’s called “The Twig Gatherer” about a little bird just trying to make a home. Ramping up a crowdfund early next year to hire folks to help me make it.

If indie animation is gonna have any viability, I must stress that it is important to have a good producer to figure out the money and manage the production team. I will keep banging this drum because it isnt enough to have skilled artists or writers without someone who can manage resources.

I drew PENDLETON hehehe he's so cute 🐍 #hazbinhotel #artpost
illustrated fanart of Sir Pentious, or Pendleton, from Hazbin Hotel- a thin man wearing a victorian vest and cravate. He has a prominent nose, sharp face, large glasses and long black hair. He seems to be working on something with goggles, and peering out through blinds, shadows cast across his face, with a shocked look on his face.

Knights of Guinevere is beautiful, scary, thought-provoking and has something to say, which is something all great animation can and should be, especially now. A great watch! The team should be proud, and I hope there's more coming.

animation is expensive and takes a long time. a lot of fans have no idea why-- why it takes so long, what happens in it, why it needs SO much money to do, and these shorts are going to explain all of that, so people have a better idea of how the sausage is made

The Ghibli thing is particularly egregious because the reason you love Miyazaki movies is that they’re unabashedly human. He admits to not even knowing what it all means, he is just putting thoughts and feelings of the human experience on the screen and letting people relate.
