What I find frustrating about fandom on social media, isn’t children or newcomers. It’s the people who have been in fandom for years who complain about how much it’s changed and how social media ruined it, while exhibiting the exact behavior they complain about.

You're trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you? I wouldn’t say trapped. I don’t want to leave. 😍

This is marketing. The mechanical parts beside the supposedly human-like features is meant to prime us to compare it to robots, not people. The dead-eyes gaze and clunky movements are no more realistic than that $20 Amazon wig on its head. This is fetish content. Not technological advancement.

Mundane trauma is having a visceral flashback of the sharp pain and throbbing aftermath of closing my fingers in a drawer whenever I see a filing cabinet.

I’ve watched the Masters of the Universe trailer. It looks fun, too bad they ruined it with Jared Leto. Frank Langella is still my live-action Skeletor.

Through the story of Shane and Ilya, as well as Scott and Kip, audiences have been able to go through a very accessible and thus relatable journey to arrive at two very different versions of victory over adversity. One is loud, in a spotlight to applause. The other is a quiet family meal.

It’s a messy soup of cultural baggage that I want us to keep in mind when we see moments like this scene in Percy Jackson. Because while this is deeply emotionally affecting moment for many of us, it’s also a very poignant depiction of a traumatized child afraid he might be a monster.

It’s also a very popular trope in Romance. I’m pretty sure “I’d burn the world for you” or something like it is an actual quote from a Romantasy series. It certainly embodies the esthetics of a lot of love interests in many Romance novels, especially ones with Darker themes.

That’s a very terrifying moment for Percy. Realizing that he has more in common with Luke than he thought shakes him. He’s telling Annabeth because he trusts her more than himself and because she knows Luke. This isn’t about declaring his love for her. It’s a warning, to protect her from him.

Let’s talk about this moment from Percy Jackson Season 2 Episode 5. This isn’t a slight against Percy and Annabeth shippers, I am one of you. But I wanted to talk about why this declaration, that in context comes from a place of guilt and fear, is being read by a lot of people as romantic.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! @tryquinnapp.bsky.social is doing an audio erotica original featuring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams of #HeatedRivalry! Somebody sedate me!

CW: Clown Me, after Sunday night’s Welcome to Derry episode and this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry:

All this aside, I wanted to point out something really important that Kaeiln did in her video that we need more people doing right now. She documented how she used the internet to answer a question. The sites she visited and found a journalists doing this work. All without any use of AI.

Apparently, some folks on here got upset at a TikTok creator I follow, kaeiln (whatsinthekoolaid), because of a video she posted documenting her researching the difference between broth and stock in which she talked about (and properly cited) and article written by Noah Galuten.
