CRYING AND BAWLING AND LOSING IT

Rule one of fandom: there are some things that only exist for us.

Don’t send actors fics

Don’t give them explicit art ever

Don’t tag them in rpf questions or theories

Don’t try to bring them into fandom drama of any kind

Don’t hold them responsible for what the producers and writers decide

They’re still people.  They have private lives, which do not include fandom.

louder for the people in the back!

Louder for the media!

Don’t trick crew members into retweeting your crack.

Don’t tell the show runners how to run the show.

Don’t show up on set and threaten suicide if you don’t get to meet your fave. (Yes this has happened).

Don’t harass actors. THEY ARE NOT THEIR CHARACTERS.

Don’t fish for spoilers at cons.

I could go on…

DON’T HARASS ACTORS ABOUT YOUR SHIPS

DON’T INVADE THEIR SPACE

This goes for smaller creators too, not just “big time” hollywood people and showrunners. Respect YouTubers and self-published authors too!

Don't bully child actors for their performances

another comic about friendship

the first one is here

"im disabled" sure but it's a lot more fun to say "i was too powerful and it was unbalanced so the devs had to nerf me"

People we need more of in 2026:

-Trans men

-Trans women

-Non-binary, genderqueer, and agender people

-Librarians

-People using critical thinking skills

-LGBTQ+ allies

Love it when video games are just

Surprised I didn't see a version like this yet lol

[record scratch] [freeze frame]: yeah that's me. that's me in the corner. that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion.

I should probably be a bit more concerned by how much of my back pops when I enter a slightly less hunched position. It is a great way to annoy people who hate that sound though.

On a side note, is being able to hear your brain or SOMETHING in your head shift sometimes a normal thing? I fear to ask Google because it will tell me I'm dying. (also the AI is annoying as hell)

I think we really don't talk that much about how fucked up it is that the Mormon church sends eighteen to twenty five year olds to do free marketing for them (that the person going has to pay to go on btw) for like two years. Like, those are kids, why are you doing that to them?

Friendly reminder to be nice to Mormon missionaries. Don't give them any contact information, and don't accept Book of Mormons from them, but if they show up at your door maybe offer them a glass of water and some food. They've received propaganda to be out there their entire lives, and they're stuck in the cult within a cult of Mormonisim while out there. Like the rules they have to follow? INSANE. They have to get up at six thirty EVERY DAY and that's a mild rule. Most of them are starving most of the day too.

Most of the Mormon missionaries just got out of high school or have been out for a year in the case of women who leave at 19 and now they're having to come to terms constantly with the reality their religion might all be bullshit, and being mean to them actually gives them conformation bias that their religion is the only true one. I think we can cut them just a little slack. Blame the church, not the kids on your doorstep regardless of how annoying they may be.

those two overly happy, bubbly teens don't have passports. The church takes them. They are literally trapped for two years in another country. They're not allowed to listen, read, watch, or even create ANYTHING that is not related to Mormonism and/or comes from official Mormonism sources. For two years.

The Mormon Church sends them out young on purpose. The real reason they're there isn't to convert you, though that's what they believe it is. The true reason they're out there is to break them and trauma bond them to the church. And yes trauma bond in the correct therapist speak way, as in bonding to their abuser. The church is their abuser and it shows them how awful the world outside is.

If you are cruel to them you are doing the cult's job for them.

Be nice.

Don't give them information.

Decline offers nicely.

Let them eat and sit down and chill for a bit. (they're REQUIRED to be up and knocking doors for the entire fucking day) Then send them on their way with snacks. That's it.

THIS^^ They don't know how insane they sound when they pitch Mormonism to you. They don't. Also try not to bible bash with them because they'll just leave being like "well that person isn't ready to hear the gospel, haha." Mormons are the most scrupulous they will possibly ever be in their lives on missions because they have to be for their own psychological safety. If they won't leave you alone you can call the cops or threaten to but most of them will leave.
