No You Have To Contribute To Your Fandom If You Don't Want It To Die. Most Fandoms Die Because People

no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.

fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

comparison of book thicknesses. First is a thin book, possibly a novella, labelled, "idea you start out with." Next is a stack of three very thick volumes, each of which would be larger than a dictionary. This stack is labelled, "shit you need to research, make decisions about, write and then edit out, etc." Last is a book that is thicker than the initial one but is about typical novel size. It's labelled, "story that takes the reader on the journey you want them to take"

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

🖤 Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness ✨️... Modern audiences are just not ready for the edginess of this game 🤭

🖤 I'm so excited for the 2nd round of remasters and really wanted to paint something in time for the release! The end result it's pretty far from my original plan though, cause I ran out of time 😅
