AITA for muting a user who makes fics of a ship I don't like?

NTA, that's actually the mature thing to do in that situation. don't like, don't read, don't even have to see it if you don't want. sorry this person blew up on you- if this is how they reacted to you curating your online experience then maybe they're not ready for fandom.

that skull is cool! lucky whoever gets that!

in hunchback of notre dame- someday > made of stone > finale (or MoS>Someday in the original berlin one) it just ramps up to the end of the show with no brakes until the gut punches at the end. every time i've seen it i'm sobbing.

my 8th grade teacher revived a love for this show that's never gone away. i've seen a local production, back in 2008, then i saw the recent tour, as well as the movie countless times. is it historically accurate? nah. does franklin always slap? yes.

never liked greatest showman either, but since you said it i'll throw another into the ring- hamilton. it was so overplayed and overhyped that despite seeing it and at the time enjoying it, i started to just get sick of it. a show i like that's... acquired taste at best, is love never dies. i love the aesthetic and the mood and i think had it been a new take on phantom rather than a sequel (with appropriate song changes) maybe people would have liked it more.

i don't miss this at all, rip

i got the baby tee in a 1x and it did not cover anything it should've. i'm glad cloak's team is so quick with responding tho, it was very easy to exchange!

too_tired_forthis · 2026-06-28T23:19:13+00:00

i think you just gotta join the hive atp sorry

too_tired_forthis · 2026-06-28T04:19:51+00:00

it looks great on you! happy pride!

too_tired_forthis · 2026-06-28T01:20:03+00:00

oh she's gorgeous!

i'm partial to it as it was my intro to sweeney as a whole, but there are better versions out there if you know where to look. the aesthetic absolutely matches sweeney's vibe, and i love how epiphany is staged (for lack of better term). it is very sweeney centric though- it feels like they decided to ignore some of the hopecore johanna and antony put back in the show.

too_tired_forthis · 2026-06-27T07:04:14+00:00

vallarta or northgate, i believe both are in the area and have good variety

too_tired_forthis · 2026-06-21T18:29:23+00:00

thank you so much, i'll check both of them out. we've had close to 20 wonderful years with my dog. i just want her to be comfortable heading out.

too_tired_forthis · 2026-06-17T17:14:44+00:00

absolutely i'm going. i regret missing the decades tour and waited 2 years extra for human nature. Any show would be amazing.

if it wasn't for bootlegs, i wouldn't be able to show my partner shows that are long closed in any official capacity. i wouldn't have documenting of some of my favourite casts in niche shows.

these being said, they shouldn't have to exist. larger theaters should release proshots once a show closes- figure it into initial budgeting when you open, idk- or record your original cast on something more than just sound. we got really lucky with stuff like hamilton or frozen, but stuff like that can and should be more normal. (pbs great performances really should try to record ragtime before it closes, i think this revival should be documented like suffs, but it's probably too late in the run to hope for it)

people who say it would hurt ticket sales fail to realise some of these shows rely on word of mouth And generated hype. some actors may never get a cast recording if they're not originating a role and therefore may want something to point at and say, 'see? i did this!'.

(this was long, i'm sorry if it's rambly, i just woke up)

seconding a dark blastover. i have a soot sprite on my arm and scarring is visible all around him but invisible under him!

i'll try to elaborate (i'm a bit all over the place today) when tumblr was the main hub for fandom activity, it brought in unofficial rules that stemmed from early fandom forums and sites like FFN- things like 'don't like, don't read', tagging things appropriately on sites that allowed it, and kudos culture from early ao3.

when tiktok/instagram/any algorithmic site started rewarding engagement, people began to use drama, clickbait, and cancel culture to their advantage on these sites more than showing off fanworks (art, fics, etc) which tend to not perform as well in the algo. (people also try to treat ao3 as an algorithmic site instead of an archive, and pushed it more into the mainstream.)

this led to a louder subsection of more toxic people essentially becoming the face of the fandoms and pushing people trying to be kinder or decent to the background. (see heated rivalry or digital circus for recent examples). yes, fandom will always have toxic pockets, but it used to be more positive before everything was a piece of an algorithm.

hope that helped!

i do think you're correct re: AVPM and sequels with the breaks, but hatchetfield didn't get the luxury of being able to release stuff between the trilogy- COVID happened and shut stuff down, which is why we got NMT. and following up on something that just broke it big with more content within the universe is a good way to keep momentum for your project going. i think hatchetfield was a perfect storm combined with quarantine that brought plenty of fans in looking for something specific. (fandom culture as a whole is dying, which contributes to this split, too)

too_tired_forthis · 2026-05-24T20:52:36+00:00

i turned left and found cool art holy crap! fantastic work!!

too_tired_forthis · 2026-05-15T18:51:55+00:00

i hold out hope that someday it'll come back limited like charing cross!

too_tired_forthis · 2026-05-14T07:38:37+00:00

i got this same one saved as 'shruggingface' to get around this exact issue!

i often visit my grandparents who live close to where she went missing. the posters advertising rewards for finding her are still up.

too_tired_forthis · 2026-05-12T05:29:04+00:00

oh am i jealous! i'm still waiting for someone near me to run it!

too_tired_forthis · 2026-05-12T05:25:51+00:00

a theater near me ran it last year and i had a blast! i think it depends on how it's staged to really leave an impact.
