Oh dear.

I fear that I have come down with a mighty case of fandom PMS. This is beyond my usual (admittedly kept under wraps and only shown off to friends) bitchery/affectionate mocking, but I've been in a suite @ Hotel Schadenfreude all day and after a round of comment surfing - and it's all very "Well, everyone is allowed their opinion because otherwise it would get very dull very quickly" in my rational head, but in the back, at the Greek chorus bit, it's all "Well, yes, but SOME PEOPLE ARE ALSO VERY STUPID. And WRONG. SO VERY VERY VERY WRONG." (And the rational mind chimes in helpfully "and you know, people have thought that about you.") and I say...don't care, do not want!

And you know, fandom is my escape from real life PMS and stuff - and the way to enjoy it truly, is to not really take it seriously, but to be apart of it is to be obsessive in a very particular way....so you're screwed coming and going.

I need to find some pudding and curl up with some Black Books. Dylan Moran's Bernard is a total mess of a character, belligerent, ridiculously "Irish" and a misanthrope who loves books only. Seems about right for me right now.

"DO NOT WANT!"* is my reaction to about 45% of fandom. Another 50% or so is "SHUT UP AND LEAVE THE POOR FEMALE CHARACTER ALONE!"* (considering some het shipping, there's also crossover...)

I do like the other 5%,t hough.

*dorama fandom is exception...they aren't nearly as bad most of the time. Wish they'd get over a few dramas,t hough.

I think I need a midol or something. and fandom too.

Sometimes I fantasize about secluding myself in a cave. I'm really fringey, fandomwise, or I try to be - I learned a lot from my first fandom (Buffy) and for a while, the fandom was hampering my enjoyment of the show - because I wanted to talk about it positively during the later seasons, and it just seemed harder and harder to find someone who wasn't actively slagging it off.

But tomorrow is another day, and all that jazz.

I lurk on the edges of fandom and grab the sane ones(or at least the ones whose insanity is similar to mine) as they wander by.
