Derping around in the kitchen, thinking about livejournal and how much it's changed and how much things in general have changed. That was at around 5:17.
As of 5:19 PM today, I have decided to officially start making my way off of the fence and towards, er... Bronyness. Brony-Dom? Whatever, joining the herd.
It's not so much the show, although I do find it super cute. It's the fandom. The adult men. I need more grown up men in my life, friendly ones at that. More adults in general. I miss the Harry Potter fandom of LJ and those grown up people. With the series over, we've sort of disbanded a lot and the only people left are the idiots on Tumblr. They really are idiots, too; I'm rather shocked. Potterheads at LJ/journalfen/FictionAlly have mostly fought ourselves tired and stopped giving a darn if Joe Schmoe across the street likes Harry/Molly and not Harry/Bellatrix. While we have retired to a life of reading our own ships, it seems that on Tumblr, everything got distilled into the purest form of emotion and hedonism, strained through a cheesecloth to catch any thought at all. It's all sensory over there. No words. Nice for pictures, but breeding ground for stupid. And those, unfortunately, are the most active in the Potter Fandom right now.
Potter Fandom's Potted.
My usual RP partners are mostly M.I.A
Fangirls have utterly taken over yaoi and (please don't be alarmed) have made me utterly bored with male slash. Can you believe that? Used to be that if two men sat next to each other, I'd be writing fanfic about them in my head. Nowadays, they could cart in thirty pairs of gay couples and have them all make out in front of me, and I'd be like
You've finally done it, yaoi fans. You've killed one of your own veterans. You've perv'd the market out, oversaturated, given a bad name to the fans, but ultimately, you've gotten your spoiled rotten way in that it's all over the place and you can swim in it now. I look at the rainbow pool of manlove you're all splashing in and I want to care about it again, but...
So I'm off to watch ponies.
And I can't even bring myself to care about shipping them beyond thinking that some of the innocent fan art is cute.
I miss the spinoff jokes and pictures and memes. I'm going to get in on the Brony scene. They seem like cool friends. It's going to be painful, I'm sure (with the irrational Brony hatred) and I'm sure that my more BAWing friends will have something to say about the word "Brony" but in general, those are my mean, nasty, hateful friends, so I don't care.
Anybody got an icon of Flim and Flam for me? Oz? I need one.
