brienne and her boy

[melrosing @melrosing]

@bidonica1 yeah I think I’m becoming increasingly aware of like…. a secret third category alongside what I used to think of as the main types of fan engagement (transformative v curative) where people are fans of fan work more than anything

[melrosing @melrosing]

@bidonica1 I might do that for something that I’m only vaguely interested in but if I’m genuinely ready to sit here for hours making transformative works or whatever then nothing is going to come between me and the thing like… if I’m making stuff I’m locked in

[melrosing @melrosing]

@bidonica1 it just seems completely counter to my personal experience w fanning over a thing where I basically want to swallow the canon whole and then wait for more lol

[melrosing @melrosing]

@bidonica1 I can just about imagine doing this for something w a really unwieldy canon like Doctor Who but the idea of not even consuming the core media of something I’m passionate enough about to make fanworks for is so peculiar to me…. like ofc ppl should do what they want but????

[melrosing @melrosing]

@mincy_art fr like who asked you 😭😭

[melrosing @melrosing]

@baelishbones nah me neither and I understand why OP felt overwhelmed, but ultimately their post got a lot of traction so I’m unsurprised someone eventually pushed back. but as u say they always prove the opposite of their own claims and have no sense of irony about it

[melrosing @melrosing]

asoiaftwt doing their jaime takes again

[melrosing @melrosing]

@baelishbones + the way I just browsed through this and it’s 90% virtually uncontested posts shitting on Jaime stans…. like they can say we’re imagining things but at a certain point things just become objectively apparent

[melrosing @melrosing]

@baelishbones also acting like asoiaftwt is some big Jaime stan echo chamber is the fucking height of dishonesty lol like they don’t shut us down any time someone opens their mouth lmao

[melrosing @melrosing]

@belladonnafeli yeah there’s something there, ig I’d just add that the different ways Tyrion and Jaime engage and behave w Penny and Brienne respectively isn’t really informed by that factor imo

[melrosing @melrosing]

@belladonnafeli Yeah I think there are similarities but while I wouldn’t say Jaime is kind to Brienne in ASOS (lol) the context of his behaviour and their initial dynamic is very different to Tyrion and Penny

[melrosing @melrosing]

@belladonnafeli I’m not saying u can’t compare the two, ig I’m just conscious of the strawmanning of Jaime stans that regularly takes place on this platform (particularly the last couple days) and I wasn’t sure if this was based on anything real or like a thought in addendum

[melrosing @melrosing]

@belladonnafeli Honestly I think they’re very different relationships with maybe a few similarities and I’ve never seen anyone using a dichotomy of the two to shit on Tyrion. I think T/P is a lot to do with disability which would make extensive comparisons w JB kind of absurd.
