Ugh

I hate bullies. Internet bullies who believe they're propagating "social justice" while doing their bullying are a particularly revolting suspecies. God knows I have my own criticisms of Moffat's writings, but death threats? With an added low of also going after twelve-years Caitlin Blackwood, who plays young Amelia Pond? What she said.

Not that this is new. I'm reminded of the internet back in Children of Earth, Day 4 and after time, when it were RTD and James Moran, but then Rusty wasn't on Twitter. Or going back to the Buffy days, those charmers who wished miscarriage on Marti Noxon when she was pregnant because they hated seasons 6 and 7 of BTVS.

Fandom can be fantastic to be in, but every now and then it makes you recall that "fan" comes from "fanatic", and not in a good way.

And now for fandom: the enjoyable part

Something to cheer myself up in various areas, and hopefully some of you, too:


Avengers:

check out this adorable Bruce and Tony cartoon


Angel:

Various minor character drabbles. Two are about Anne, who is the best minor recurring character going from BTVS to AtS, full stop, and the first one is magnificent. But really they're all good.


The Borgias and history:

A good post on the historical Rodrigo Borgia and the three most important women in his life: Vannozza, Giulia and Lucrezia.
