Monday August 12 [ On the day of her movie premiere. Oh Jesus. How it all started: ( Read more... ) So what do you think? I'm guessing CC just passed the buck to SRB because she has more important things to worry about (ie The Mortal Instruments movie premier in Hollywood today), but perhaps SRB, HB, JG had their points? Sound off below. Oh and also just a head's up, a lot of those links providing receipts on CC's plagiarism and shady fandom behavior are disappearing. Fast.

Friday August 9 [ Spoilers for the Season 9 of Supernatural ... again ... So the Supernatural fandom is divided between an old guard and a new breed, between J2 shippers and Misha minions, between LiveJournal and Tumblr, between the True Fans who know that the show is about two brothers and whatever the hell Destiel shippers are. Heretics? And spn_gossip, being on Livejournal and filled with J2 shippers and tinhatters, is of course opposed to the Destiel tumblrites. Anyway, some anonymous person claims that they have insider information about the upcoming season, specifically that "-There will be canon Destiel this season, and it feature in 9.04. Sorry guys. -By canon Destiel, I mean that Dean and Castiel are going to be in an acknowledged romantic relationship." (Later, they clarify, and, honestly, it doesn't sound any more or less "romantic" than any scenes that Dean and Castiel have had before, but whatever.) Most of the thread is people arguing about the anon's legitimacy and whether this squares with other information, etc., but an anon breaks it up by saying, "Cards on the table: I'm a pro-canon Dean/Cas shipper, and I REALLY doubt this. Are you sure your source isn't reading too much into the usual lol-gay the writers do?" And, of course, another anon wants to know why a Destiel fan would be interested in Destiel-related gossip: And you're lurking here? Ugh. And then someone posts, all in italics for some reason, Cockles (ewww worst name ever) and destiel is not even remotely in the same ball park as J2 as a figurehead name for what people see between Jensen and Jared. I leave you with these thoughts: Furthermore I am totes not watching episode 4 and onwards because while destiel isn't made canon, I know for sure because what the OP have us doesn't mean destiel at all, I won't sit around watching the cas show with a side of the dean and cas show, such boron crap all around. This is the storytelling the show has degraded too

Monday July 15 [ Thank you to the mousey over at ( Read more... ) TL;DR Faker impersonates one of the stars of Doctor Who, continues even after the BBC and the real actress make announcements that it's a fake, and calls anyone who says she's not the real actress a "creepy stalker". They create an obvious sockpuppet, and is most likely the owner of a longtime fansite for another Doctor Who actress. After being suspended from Twitter, she's currently impersonating the actress on other sites.

Monday June 17 [ All right, this one's a little late according to the WR comment, but I'm posting it anyway because this shit's too damn funny to let it pass. Search the Taiora or Sorato tag on tumblr and you might run into the news that Hiroyuki Kakudou, the director for the first two Digimon series, recently answered questions about Sora and Yamato getting together at the end of Digimon Adventure 02 instead of the statistically more popular favorite, Taichi and Sora, on his Twitter account. A while ago, Jippy posed a couple of questions to Kakudou via Twitter about what went on with the executive decision to make Sora and Yamato the canon pairing. He answered that Sorato had been planned since the beginning of Digimon Adventure, and that Taichi and Sora were never meant to be. Jippy took to tumblr and made some tl;dr posts discussing his replies, as well as using it to push her explanation of "Sorato is real" and overanalyzing the Taisorato relationship to contribute to individual character development, along with contradictory statements that Digimon was supposed to focus on friendship, not romance. Lots of butthurt ensued. ( And here is some of it! Warning, tumblr links ) I personally never had a bone to pick in this fight since I hung out in the Jyou/Mimi corner and refused to touch the Taiora vs. Sorato vs. Taito bullcrap (specially since Sora was so hated by all "corners"), but still. Dammit people, it has been like... 10 years, if not MORE?

Friday June 7 [ So Jensen Ackles and his wife Danneel had a baby girl like secret super-ninjas and the fandom didn't find out for a week. Cool, right? By the way, her name is Justice Jay. In other words JJ or... J2. ( It's clearly another sign from the high gods! )

Tuesday May 21 [ mood: Sparkly Hasbro’s robust My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic franchise is doing something that a lot of girl-aimed television franchises have done: it’s spawning a semi-canonical tie-in movie. The film, entitled “Equestria Girls,” is about Twilight Sparkle getting sucked into the human world, turning into a human, and winding up in what appears to be a technicolor version of Mean Girls. As you can imagine, the Brony fandom is absolutely delighted that the production team is making such a drastic change to their beloved formula and... oh wait, no, they're pitching a fit about it. Knowing Brony fandom's reputation for grade-A unfunny, I have done my best to sift through the wank and bring you only the funny bits! (Though if you click any of the links, be warned — you're going into no-man's land.) First off, there's some minor wanking on this April article on Equestria Daily, where some poor souls are still holding out hope that it’s not real: ( De Nial is a river full of hungry violent hippos... ) However, the wanking really gets going with the release of a trailer. There is capslock o’ rage and harsh language! ( Cut for whinging ) There is vast overestimation of Brony fandom’s importance: ( Bronies make the world go round ) Some people think the anthro-ed ponies look too much like their pony selves. Because changing things is bad, but not changing things enough is also bad: ( Why is it different/not different? Why?!? ) Twilightisbest suggests a protest! ( Walk-outs and demographics and greed, oh my! ) There is talk of CENSORSHIP and the FIRST AMENDMENT! ( Get thee to a Civics class ) Naturally, there are conspiracy theories: ( Hasbro just wants to stick it to us! ) Some people are worried that the movie might be blighted by the heinous scourge known only as... [scare chord] ...the ROMANCE SUBPLOT! ( Anti-shipping wank, right this way ) Some people are getting a tad melodramatic: ( Tell me about your pony angst ) And of course there’s complaining about the complaining: ( Like a mobius strip! ) But at least this guy has his priorities in order: Derpendable The cmc have boobs.. (CMC = Cutie Mark Crusaders = Applejack's kid sister and her two little pals) Dark Qiviut seems to be repeating himself a lot: ( Cut for stampede of bluish quadrupeds ) Okay, enough of that windbag. Back in the May ED posts, Blackstar033 wants the option to expunge all hints of the movie from the Equestria Daily site: ( Stick your fingers in your ears and go la la la ) And to top it all off, the CEO of another toy company makes a cameo: Novem_Vulpes Ooh boy all this hate is giving me the bronchitis. How come it is so easy to rile up the internets with a CHILDREN'S CARD GA-- I MEAN TELEVISION SERIES? inDerpxar SCREW THE RULES I HAVE PONIES Seto Kaiba don't make me send my lawyers David_Ker Mr Kaiba, I have a question: in your world, are court cases resolved through card games? THE END (until the actual film comes out) Edit: I am sososo sorry about the html fuckup. orz

Monday May 13 [ I would like to thank the mousey over at wank_report for bringing this little nugget up. So lets revel in some actual funny here. In Colorado the main anime convention has been Nan Desu Kan. In recent years another anime convention has been building up some steam, Animeland Wasabi. Right after this year's Animeland Wasabi ended in the beginning of March anime company Funimation announced a lawsuit against Miller Timmons, and ten John Does for selling counterfeit items at Wasabi. (Anime News Network article) Timmons also manages the convention under his Think Art Media and Animeland businesses. There is also a nice breakdown of the lawsuit in this screencap. A few days ago an announcement is made on the front page of Animeland Wasabi that basically decries that Funimation and Nan Desu Kan are trying to get rid of Animeland Wasabi because NDK totally got their people to find some bootleg merchandise at Wasabi to show to Funimation to get them to sue Wasabi.(Be warned of glaring green background.) And who would doubt these claims after such strong opening statements like these: To our anime community, Animeland would like to give details about the lawsuit between Funimation vs. Miller Timmons. The framework of this lawsuit that is pending in the Denver court system is an attempt for Funimation, Nan Desu Kan and Wasabi Anime to drive Animeland, Miller Timmons, and their fans out of the anime community in Denver because we have grown over the past six years. At the end of that tl;dr there is a screencap of a reply from ThatGuyInTheHat who manages to Godwin himself, in German no less, to a poster on the forums. Also in the comments to the ANN article the CEO of the site says that they did try to contact Timmons before they posted the article, which goes against Animeland Wasabi's claim that they have not been contacted for a statement. There also seems to have been some wanky comments that have been since deleted in that thread without being screen capped unfortunately. There is a discussion on the forum (which seems to now no longer be, but there are screen caps) about the announcement where we learn that the screed went through lawyers before being posted. ThatGuyInTheHat believes that anyone who is sticking up for NDK is NDK staff. That he can only give vague hints of NDK's wrongdoings because they could be spying on their forum and use what is said against Wasabi. Nan Desu Kan has released their own press release on the matter, where they avoid saying much of anything outside that they are not making any anime company to anything for them and are too busy with their own con to care about anyone else's. With all this popping up shortly after the hearing to figure out the scheduling for the case one can only assume that this may be the beginning. And in case anything else appears to go poof here are the screen caps collected so far.

Sunday May 5 [ ( Read more... ) Edit: The consensus was that this wasn't funny. Sorry about that. I obviously made an error in judgment yesterday. Also, some people said this was triggering/upsetting with regards to bi/homophobia, so be warned. Edit 2: holy shit. That's a nice painting.

Sunday April 28 [ A blogger buys a used, beat-up copy of Anne Rice's Pandora, ends up not liking it, and decides to get crafty with it. (Well, she also says, "Don’t be mad at me, even if Pandora really is one of the worst Anne Rice novels then it’s still better written than Twilight. Just not by as much as you think.") Anne Rice finds out. Anne Rice links to the blog on her Facebook. You know what happens next. ( HOW DARE YOU EVEN COMPARE SHITTY ASS STEPHANIE MEYER TO THE QUALITY WORK THAT IS ANNE RICE )

Wednesday April 17 [ I thought I'd write about the SPN fandom doing something that wasn't horrendous, but, rather, harmlessly crazy. Jerry Wanek, a/the production designer for Supernatural, Tweeted after episode 8.17, "Goodbye Stranger," aired on March 30 2013, hinting that a clue had been included in the set design for Naomi's office. Naomi is a new character played by Amanda Tapping, and, naturally, a lot of people in the fandom hate her character. (Youtube link.) She is a lady. Coincidence?! Anyway, Naomi (Tapping) hacked into Castiel's brain and has been controlling him most of the season. She tries to use this mind control to force him to kill Dean, but Dean's Love For Castiel breaks the spell. No, I'm not kidding. That's an objective description of what happens. You can watch the scene on Youtube here if you want, but I must warn for violence, gore, and somewhat disturbing content. Jerry Wanek tweets, "Speaking of detail! Naomi's office windows have a certain pattern no one picked up on?" A fan named Neinka takes some screencaps and notices that the lighting on the windows changes from white to blue/purple/pink. She writes, "OK I will bite…what’s with the different colors?" dean-man-of-feathers replies, I’m not saying that when the control this place and Naomi had over Castiel [broke] the colors changed into the bisexuality pride flag, butIndeed, the Bi Pride flag is pink and blue with a purple streak in the middle, though the color scheme is reversed in the episode (pink's on top for the flag, blue's on top for SPN). Andythanfiction - yes, that Andythanfiction - weighs in: *blink*Before you can type "Sounds legit," Wanek shoots the theory down: "My dear friend Serge [Ladouceur] controls the lighting. It was about emotion and the passage of time. Although I am happy to support LGBT." The fans have not stopped seeing Jesus in soap stains, of course. @SingSimpleSongs on Twitter asks Russ Hamilton, who is a location manager or something, if his erratic capitalization has any kind of hidden meaning to it, and takes his reply as a confirmation: Notice that Y, U, and S are capitalized spelling “YUS” [sic]. So either the guys fucking with us, or there’s something there. I say we give it a shot. Could be fun.casswantsthe-d-ean scours his twitter and comes up with the message "He IS BI." When they tweet the theory at Russ, he replies that it's an "impressive body of work." Or rather he replies "I think I shall call you Sherlock Reptar. it IS an impressive body of work, but I cannot comment on it beyond that." The secret message there is "IISRISI." 221bowties has had enough of this nonsense and selects the capital letters of one of Hamilton's tweets to spell out "BUTSEKS." And then they must clarify that they were making a joke because people are taking them seriously. I have only one thing to say and that thing is TSTFBUTSEKAS.

Monday April 8 [ mood: *sporfle!* In the USA our big soccer/football league is called Major League Soccer, or MLS. In this league there is a team called Chivas USA who are best known for being the Los Angeles team that Beckham did NOT play for. They are also the "little brother" team to the very popular Mexican team Club Deportivo Guadalajara (who's nickname is Chivas, or goats in Spanish). Both teams are owned by the same man. However, Chivas USA is nowhere near as popular as it's big brother team. Lately it's been averaging 6000 or so per game (the much loved Seattle Sounders average 30000 or more a game). The folks over at Big Soccer have been discussing the reason for the team's low attendance. A few posts in a user named djkas14 comes in and enlightens the plebian fans as to the true problem with Chivas USA. (Unfortunately, djkas14 was banned like so many prophets before him, and his posts were deleted at the same time. However, he was quoted quite a bit so his words are still present to enlighten us all.) ( It's all in the name. ) So there you have it. A short and silly wank to start off your week. ETA: I'll probably be making minor spelling / grammar and formatting corrections for the next few hours. ETA 2: We've been spotted!. And Darkwing387 wants a plaque to commemorate this event if possible.

Friday March 29 [ This just happened on Tumblr, and I think everybody involved is more confused than anything else. Our dramatis personae are Fuchsiamae, Tumblr Portal fandom's most vocal and prolific Caveline shipper, and a persistent anon. ( Cervidae of the Turquoise Persuasuion )

Saturday March 23 [ My friends: I have just found a wank that arguably combines elements of three of the classic wanks recently featured in the Deathmatch: His Wife, A Horse, the Snapewives, and My Ponies Hate You Now. Simply put: Deviant Art member Kevinsano specializes in My Little Pony art. However, another Bronie recently wrote him a letter asking him to curtail his more erotic MLP art, particularly art depicting Twilight Sparkle - because, argued this correspodent, he and Twilight Sparkle were engaged. I'm totally head over heels in love with Twilight Sparkle. I have been for 11 months now and at this point I'm in a committed relationship with my Twiley. Actual email reproduced here. MTV coverage here, and the AV club weighs in here. Enjoy. Updated: For your convenience, a dramatic reading of the letter, if you prefer podcasts... Update the Second: The blushing bridegroom's account of his love story on the MLP fandom fora. (I couldn't get the link to the profile to work, so than you for this!) (Update of the update: link now goes to a Googlecache as the forum link proper stopped working.)

Monday March 18 [ Msscribe! She defeated Crystalwank easily in the end, and who was really surprised? I am sure she's out there somewhere, cackling over this latest triumph in her quest to dominate fandom. :D Thanks for playing along! I hope you all had a good time. I don't know if we'll do this ever again, but it was fun to go back to all the old wanks and take a stroll down memory lane.

Sunday March 17 [ Both of yesterday's battles were closer than I had expected, in the beginning at least. But once Msscribe and Crystalwank gained momentum, there was no stopping them (which is actually kind of true for the wanks and the wankers, now that I think about it), sorry Mrs. Horse and Snapewives. But as Sep said: "Harry Potter and Lotr wanks in the end: Just as God intended." Now there can only be one. Poll #599 Open to: All, results viewable to: All You choose: Ready? VOTE. ETA: A THREAT!

Saturday March 16 [ Yesterday's winners: His wife? A horse, Crystalwank, Msscribe, and Snapewives on an Astral Plane.

Thursday March 14 [ Yesterday's winners: His wife? A horse, Dumbledore is gay, Anne Rice (interrogating the text from the wrong perspective), and Crystalwank. Some of those were pretty close, and the hate-filled ponies couldn't trample Anne Rice. Perhaps there is only room in this deathmatch for one equine-related wank? Let's get to today's battles.
