Faker

Leave a comment

Semi-serious talk…

I don’t understand the concept of fandoms outcasting people who enjoy their…fandoms. And I mean like the need to outright call people fake fans if they don’t know every little detail about the topic, the creators, or whatever else.

Why can’t people just be allowed to enjoy things?

Big examples are Star Wars (currently), specific niches in fiction writing (this includes graphic novels, science fiction, philosophy, etc.), music, and so on.

I understand the need to protect something you love and something that maybe you were mocked for when you were younger or when the fandoms weren’t as popular. But attacking people because they don’t know every little detail…I mean, come on.

Am I guilty of this, too? Sometimes, yes. But other times I’m just thrilled someone has even HEARD of something I love. Do I know every little thing about things i love? No. But for some things I don’t think it should matter.

Music for example…I’ve been called a fake fan for a band I love just because I didn’t know the life story of every member…even if I’ve been a fan of the music since the first album and own every album the band has ever made…but because I don’t know where the drummer was born and where they moved to at age seven…FAKE FAN!!

Maybe music isn’t the best example, though. Mostly because…I don’t like bands. I like music. The only time the people behind the music affect my enjoyment is if they are themselves awful people (by that I mean pedophiles, murderers, bigots, etc.).

I won’t even touch Star Wars cause quite frankly, I don’t need the negativity. I grew up watching the movies with my dad. I’ve read many of the novels and played the video games…but I’m not a real fan according to some. Okay. That won’t determine my enjoyment of any of the films or aforementioned books and video games.

I can touch on (specifically) science fiction and fantasy books. I mean, I’ve been called a fake fan because I haven’t read specific series in each genre. Or at least, every single book in a series. But sure, I’m a fake fan of the ENTIRE genre of fantasy or science fiction because of that…uh-huh.

Anybut, these thoughts came up because of several recent events in the entertainment industry >cough< Star Wars >cough<. Everyone is allowed to their opinions on their fandoms. But attacking each other is immature and quite frankly embarrassing.

I just hate the feeling of elitism in fandoms. Let people enjoy the thing you love. Even if they don’t love it as much as you, it doesn’t mean they haven’t been affected in the same way.

Bottom line: Get OVER it!

It’s torture….

All I want is ice cream. I have gift cards for ice cream…..

But I can’t because of my tooth. The chipped tooth that was ground down to make room for the veneer I’ll be getting in 2 weeks, hurts when anything chilled touches it. I can only imagine what frozen ice cream will feel like.

…..but I REALLY want ice cream.

Anybut, this has been a random food update.

Should this be the time I get into the ridiculousness of being afraid to post ugly pictures?

Nah.

But here’s one I took and couldn’t get over how thick my glasses are. I mean look at that right eye (my right eye, not the eye on the right)! It’s like a poorly photoshopped attempt to make my face look thinner, but I forgot to do the rest of my face!

Anybut….I’m not embarrassed to post the ugly pictures.

And yes, that is a zit on my face. Guess what? They never stop coming! Okay, maybe for some people they do…but don’t be surprised if you still get those little puckers well into your 30s!! (Especially if you’re like me and get stressed easily…they love stress)

Spicy food…

I really love spicy food. And by spicy food I mean the kind of spicy that clears your sinuses, makes your eyes water, and gives you tongue a good time.

However, I don’t actively seek out the spiciest anythings. I have no interest trying a ghost pepper or anything that may make me regret life itself.

Books

I have a lot of books…

Surprise, surprise, insert book lover joke here.

But I do have a lot of books. A lot I haven’t read but have owned for years. And yet, when i want to read something…I tend to grab the books I’ve already read.

Maybe it’s because I don’t have to worry about being let down. Maybe it’s a nervous tick of not wanting to read a highly praised book and hating it even when everyone I know loved it (for me, Gone Girl was a slog to get through and I definitely did not enjoy it).

Or maybe it’s because once I actually read all the books I currently own…there’s nothing to stop me from buying more in bulk.

Oh well, time to read Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence for the hundredth time. (If you don’t know that book and like fantasy with an antihero protagonist…check it out. Highly recommended)

Good thing to know I’m not a vampire…

My friends and I went to this restaurant where they put garlic in everything…and I mean EVERYTHING. (Okay, to be fair, not necessarily the drinks, but everything else absolutely)

It’s called The Stinking Rose and I mean if you don’t like garlic or can’t stand the smell of garlic you won’t even last five seconds inside. You walk in and it’s a waft of garlic. There are paintings on the wall, some familiar paintings, that have garlic cloves somehow incorporated into them.

Even the desserts had garlic in them. I ate the vanilla and garlic ice cream and it was delicious.

Everything was delicious. Though I did smell like garlic for a few days after…sorry kitties.

Anybut, highly recommend it if you’re ever in the Los Angeles area. Not gonna lie, a bit pricey, but fun.

SURPRISE SECOND POST!!

If given the choice…

To be mocked by people for getting the same food every day or risk getting food that is a bit hit or miss…Sorry, gonna take the mockery.

Especially when it’s fast food….I love fast food.
