and then it goes off and turns out to be a CIA bomb that just rains down propaganda leaflets saying “give up, you can never win”

There’s a MASH episode where an unexploded bomb from their own side lands and they’re frantically trying to find out whose it is to defuse it but can’t get any answers because everyone senior is watching the Army vs Navy football match and refuse to be interrupted

plus while it’s been a long time since BSG and I never liked Sam Anders much, I have probably mellowed and I def remember a scene where he turns up to the rescue to find she’s stabbed Leoben and is holding a kid that looks like theirs and she just yells “I’ll explain later!” on her way past

heads-up - this reply in the screenshot below is from a scammer impersonating @mgcoco.bsky.social with a similar but different @ - please do not send them anything

At its most infuriating when someone actually did something bad but this is only mentioned as a secondary thing to petty fandom bullshit. 14 paragraphs of “She hates Skrunkly, she follows known Blorbette shippers!” and then “oh and she sent death threats to a real 15-year-old” like WAIT back up -

Ah yeah I guess that makes sense - my fantasy interests were always more sprawling sagas & worldbuilding stuff

“A ship manifesto is a meta essay meant to introduce fans to a ship and promote it by explaining its appeal” fanlore.org/wiki/Ship_Ma... (i’m not counting ‘why you should ship [Thing]’ YouTube videos)

should we bring back ship manifestos? maybe we should bring back ship manifestos.

OH yes. And even the good stuff… like yes we had ‘ship and let ship’ as a standard in lots of fandom spaces, but we only got there *because* we’d all lived through the alternative.

one of my favourite ships that I always request in exchanges is half the main canon pair x a character who died at the start of his first and only episode. I could write a 2000 word ship manifesto on this one!

(my reason for not reading romantasy is purely that it's not generally about the things I like, not that it's not good enough writing for me to read. I will read terrible writing! But most romance and most fantasy isn't about things I care much for so a fusion genre seems unlikely to appeal.)

like Sturgeon's Law for science fiction: sure maybe 90% of science fiction is probably crap, but 90% of everything else is crap as well.
