It is: If you want to enjoy a show, do not engage with fandom, just cling to the safety of your dwircleflist.

This post brought to you by my rapidly dwindling tolerance for "I hate Miko/Arcee/Airachnid" comments. Though at least the Miko haters usually have comprehensible reasons; Arcee and Airachnid seem to "just rub me wrong" or "[laundry list of traits which the guys share, but which somehow are okay if the character is not presented as female]".

Having a new episode to discuss should not make me feel so...weary.

TRULY, I NEVER APPRECIATED THE BENEFITS OF BEAST WARS NOT HAVING AN ACTIVE FANDOM.

And fuck, am I glad I've never felt the urge to hunt down communities for Voltron Force or Thundercats or GI Joe Renegades.

Eh, at least this confirms that I will never be posting any of my TF fic to any comms but [livejournal.com profile] beastwars_100. Wouldn't want to get girl cooties on anyone. *vows that no matter what this week's prompt is, drabbles will be all Airazor&Blackarachnia all the time*

Edit: And then for my own mental health, I dropped the [livejournal.com profile] tf_prime community from my reading list, because somehow, no matter the topic of the episode, some people find excuses to bash Arcee and Airachnid. But not because they're femmes, of course. Just because they suck and can do nothing right.

...on why your OC is not, in fact, a Mary Sue, odds are you're already doomed.

(I say this not from a hatred of OCs - hello, have you SEEN my Beast Wars AU? - but rather because that level of defensiveness generally results in a non-fun amount of Trying Too Hard To Justify the OC. Not that I don't understand the defensiveness, because hello, have you SEEN fandom lately?)

Also, if your defensive essay includes sentences like, Goodness no because in most fics that I read, all these stuff happens which turns everything written into cliches. In other words, unoriginality and creativity invalid. I am not going to be too hopeful about your fic.

In short: WHY do I leave my journal bubble again?

AND SPEAKING OF my Beast Wars AU, do you know what's the opposite of fun? Trying to figure out how to pair up the Maximals for patrol (because the Predacons got both the Cape Buffalo power-up AND the Lioness Triplet power-up, and there's a slightly insane mutant fuzor out there, and it's kind of...not safe outside for solo Maximals right now), and realizing the only pair you can count on to consistently act like grown adults is Tigatron and Airazor. And Dinobot is refusing to babysit Cheetor or Wingstorm anymore, even if it means being partnered with the rodent, although really, he would prefer just to take his chances, thank you.
