When ‘that short silly fanfic’ you’re writing…
…to AVOID writing another super-long fic that’s stressing you out…ends up being the second longest fic you’ve ever written. Ever.

My friend Lydia’s probably right in her assumptions I’m too wimpy/easily grossed out to handle this show. But HOW MUCH do I love the insane fandom coming out of it?
Fine fine fine. Fangirl the fandom!
tags: # it worked with for me with merlin # i will find you summaries of things # and give you tours of the fandom # to the left you will see what is known as the murder family # consisting of a cannibal # a man with a slipping grip on sanity # and a girl who just wants a father figure who won’t feed her humans # ignore the nightmare stag walking around behind you # he’s our mascot # we call him swiggity # hannibal # noliterally
Wait, do you actually call him swiggity though? Because now I’m dying to know.
Imagine being a Doctor Who fan in 1966 though.
“Oh dear, what’s happening? Is the Doctor dying?
Wait.
What. The. Shit.”
My nan has been watching Doctor Who from the get-go
According to her the first regeneration made the entire country go ape-shit and she has vivid memories of her entire family being frozen in front of the TV in shock for about an hour

This isn’t how I remember this scene?!
shhhh just accept it
well that’s how it should go at least
this works WAY too well. clearly it’s the subtext going on in the scene. this is what fandom does, though—we just make subtext that’s already there into text.

As unbelievable as [White Dude Super Detective (WDSD)] characters are, they would become infinitely more so if their race or gender were changed. In The Mentalist, WDSD Patrick Jane once grifted clients as a fake psychic, but now works as a hard-to-control resource for the California Bureau of Investigations. What if the Jane character were a Latino ex-grifter? Would his arrogance and propensity for sneaking into suspect’s homes and accusing wealthy businessmen of impropriety read as quirky and charming? Would anyone believe that a police force would allow such behavior? Could the Scotland Yard of fantasy be down with a coke-addicted black Sherlock—no matter how clever?
The San Francisco police department abides Adrian Monk’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, as the FBI allows Perception’s Dr. Daniel Pierce to assist on cases, despite his unmedicated schizophrenia and paranoia, which results in hallucinations. Could a black woman be cast in those roles to the same effect? I submit, that even in the fictional worlds of literature and television, race and gender matter. Belief can only be suspended so far. And this archetype is reliant on power that comes with white maleness in American society.

#i still remember bossymarmalade and glockgal’s deconstruction of white privilege in supernatural #and how dean and sam worked so well #because no one ever questioned white dudes #even when they were sketchy as fuck #and then glockgal drew racebent spn comics #where sam and dean really had to work to be able to be hunters #because they couldn’t just get away with fake IDs now that they weren’t white anymore #it was so amazing #i would’ve watched THAT show forever
