You don’t understand. You don’t know what it’s like to live in different worlds. To travel on great adventures through the galaxy with people you know better than your own family. To live with them. To die with them. Have you ever loved anything? Do you have any idea?
These are my friends. My best friends in the world.
people always say to me “you’re addicted to tumblr, what would you do if you didn’t have tumblr haha you’d probably die”
no you uncultured swine i’d just read a fucking book or watch endless amounts of television where do you think we get our material

Worst thing i did: enter this fandom
Best thing i did: enter this fandom
Stage 1 - Discovery: You've finally found other people who like the same thing as you do. It's fucking great. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Stage 2 - Involvement: You read up about theories and headcanons. Join the community. Start getting excited about new episodes because OH MY GOD NEW THEORIES AND GIFS.
Stage 3 - Obsession: You ship things like burning. Fanfic has replaced actual books. You know every actors' name, date of birth and marital status. You follow all the actors' twitter accounts. You have seen every episode several times. You stay up until ungodly hours to watch new episodes. You spend days downloading HD Logoless Screencaps. This is the best stage ever because everything is RAINBOWS and BEAUTIFUL.
Stage 4 - Realisation: There are some people in the fandom who are idiots. They are horrible about your ship. They talk shit about your favourite characters. People write hate and start arguments. This ruins the new episodes for you and you can't enjoy it anymore. The new episodes aren't as entertaining as they used to be. You're realising that the show is going to the shitter. People accuse you of not being a 'true fan' and the fandom is divided.
Stage 5 - Acceptance: You find a nice, quiet corner of the fandom to retire to. Sure, you keep up to date with the latest episodes on occasion. You still reblog gifs and screencaps, but you prefer the 'golden seasons' when you enjoyed the show and the fandom. You slowly start to migrate to other shows, but your first fandom still holds a special place in your fangirl/boy heart.
casual reminder that you don’t need to try and sink all other ships in order to keep yours floating. this is not fucking battleship.

Shoutout to the people still waiting for their Doctor. For their Hogwarts letter. For Arthur. For a 1967 Chevy Impala. For Peeta. For Klaine. For their satyr. For Season Three.
We are the fandoms that waited.
This gif is so accurate it hurts
There are lots of fanclub photos being leaked.
Please be considerate to the artist, do NOT reblog them.
To be fair, I don’t think a lot of people reblogging actually know they’re Monthly GG pictures unless someone who knows they are points it out.
But for people who actually…
This is probably in my top 20 reasons why I’ve left Japanese music fandom.
Fanclub materials are considered ‘private’. In Japan, breaches of privacy are taken VERY seriously (and I believe are covered under copyright/privacy laws? IANAL) and considered personal affronts.
There is a huge reason that almost all major bands/labels do not allow foreigners (especially Americans) to join fanclubs, and it’s this.
FC memberships are not cheap, either, and you DO get what you pay for, but everyone thinks they can have their fun for free, and that’s not right.
But because of fandumb’s cavalier attitude to artist privacy, foreigners can’t have nice things (like DEARS or MAGNETICA memberships…).
And there you have it, all you American, Latin & Russian fans posting MGGs. This is why we don’t have an international fanclub. Because we’re just that inconsiderate towards the artists.
Stop being a bunch of assholes & keep private pictures private. It’s not about gaining friends or gaining notes or thinking you’re a special snowflake for posting pictures you feel people haven’t seen before yet. Next time you complain about not having an international fanclub, remember that comment above.
There are literally thousands of pictures of Gackt from his magazines, photobooks, screenshots, etc. Why do you have to post the private ones to the public. Be a little more respectful than that.
