Hey, It's Me Again, I'm Really Sorry To Bother You, But I Just Can't Help But Ask - What's Happening

Hey, it's me again, I'm really sorry to bother you, but I just can't help but ask - what's happening with Macgyver fandom? I mean, MacDalton ship... it's like a freaking GOLDMINE of goodness, every episode, and yet there's so little activity on Tumblr. Or is it just me who doesn't know how to search properly? :) (You can DM me if you prefer, I'm just really curious about this fandom stuff rn)

Never a bother, dear! 😊 There *is* such a wealth of material on the show to fuel the MacDalton fandom! And yet the fandom is still quite small, I know - I found it discouraging at first as well. If you’re checking the macdalton, jackgyver, and macjack tags, and checking in on the Jack Dalton/Angus MacGyver tag on AO3, you’re probably catching most of what there is.

@becauseimawinchester @cherikfan @sanctuaryforalluniverses (to just name a few) I’m tagging all you lovely people in case you have other recommendations.

I’d also recommend visiting @thehemingwaygoldfish (katikat on AO3). They don’t ship MacDalton in a romantic/sexual way, but love the bond that Mac and Jack have on the show and really represent it beautifully in fic.

But most of all don’t despair! The fandom is constantly growing. We all just need to be patient, make the content we can make, keep drawing in as many new fans as we can, and encourage them to make content, and I think this fandom will thrive - it’s full of such lovely people!

When your dad tries to guilt trip you into visiting him: “well I guess I’ll just spend the weekend all by myself...”

You say “glad to know we’re on the same page.” Slowly, he will have to adapt to just outright telling you what he thinks instead of playing mind games.

When your friend tries to hint that they’re mad at you without saying anything: “Oh, I’m fine, clearly you don’t need to worry about me,”

You say: “I’m glad you’re doing well. Call me if you want to talk, though!” Soon enough, they will accept that they can’t be passive aggressive with you.

When your boyfriend says: “All your friends are great, I really love *insert male friend* especially.”

You say: “I’m so glad you like my friends! I should invite them back soon.” He needs to understand that if he has a problem with your friends, he needs to just voice his concerns instead of being sarcastic and accusatory.

As someone who has lived through several toxic relationships and has an abusive father, I think one of the most important manipulation tools a toxic person has is excessive subtext and hidden meanings in their conversation. It hides all of the actual fighting from the eyes of onlookers while still hurting you, which is scary and makes you feel like you’re making it all up. Don’t put up with this bs. Make them stop hiding.

Make. Them. Say. What. They. Mean.

You can’t hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords. And when I say you are a coward it is only because you are one of the slimiest weaklings ever to walk the Earth! The Princess Bride (1987) dir. Rob Reiner

Article 13 has been approved by EU. It’s worse than Net Neutrality has ever been. I don’t even know if we will have any access to Tumblr, Pinterest, Ao3 or even Instagram. Memes are probably dead, just like reactions, fanfictions and gifsets. Everyone in EU is in danger that they will not have access to their favorite sites. But I haven’t seen a SINGLE post about it on my dash because Americans doesn’t give a damn.

Also, I’m in Europe and ngl, had no idea this was even an article up for debate let alone it being fucking passed.

Stony AU  — requested by @capntony — [It is a truth universally acknowledged, that many people would kill for money. And Tony Stark has plenty of it, being America’s number one billionaire. Naturally, his security team is airtight, led by his most trusted bodyguard, the highly trained Steve Rogers. But mistakes can happen in the blink of an eye, and when Stark is abducted, Rogers decides to personally hunt down those responsible. He has never lost a client, and he doesn’t plan on ever starting, especially not with this one.]

Tumblr users are often so arrogant and it shows. They can draw a full cast of POC characters but when POC say "Hey we want more than just our skin tone" they're suddenly deaf as shit.

Representation on Tumblr has become a way for white people to win brownie points just because they took a Hershey's bar and slapped it onto a person's skin tone.

The most disgusting thing is that they insist on making JUST African-Americans. They insist on making JUST one facial type, one nose type, one lip type, one hair type, one slang type, one skin tone.

And when they make a person Asian, it's Japanese. And when they make a person Hispanic, it's Mexican. And when they make a person indigenous, they never specify on which tribe/nation they came from, but you'll bet they're Native AMERICAN.

But my favorite part is when other POC demand representation and those same fucking white people are like "But but but look at all my black characters!!!!"

POC isn't just confined to America.

POC isn't just black.

POC isn't just Japanese.

POC isn't just Mexican.

POC isn't just Native American.

It's from the Miskitu in Nicaragua, from the highlands of Ethiopia, from the deserts of Saudi Arabia, from the mountains of Indonesia. It's from the arroz con gandules, from the folk music, from the festivals. It's many cultures blending, it's speaking more than just English, it's dealing with racism unique to our countries of origin.

It's more than just one universal experience, and white Tumblr isn't willing to show that.
