There was a Tumblr-Con this weekend. It ended in disaster

Hahahahahahaha oh god what a disaster. I think the same psychological phenomena that lead to "fandom" are also what were involved with the scam. Well that's what you get for making such shitty gifs.

i mean, knotting fandom seems pretty self explanatory. if you go into that thinking good things you're obviously going to be wrong. but omegaverse just sounds like some sort of marvel spin off comic

It was me, they were making innocent comments and I had to laugh! I warned them not to google it :(

I am sorry.

I'm laughing really hard right here oh gosh. This + reading about the dashcon fiasco has made my night.

Maybe you should link them to the primer on AO3 if they haven't gauged their eyes out yet...

This was funny at first, but now all I can think about is Cyclops and Wolverine. There is knotting involved somehow :(

Fiction, I went to Urban Dictionary. It's something a dog's penis does? What does that have to do with anything? Surely I have the wrong definition...

That is my go to source for looking up perversions. I knew about the dog dick thing, it was on QI, that the head swells up on climax and that dogs can become stuck together until the swelling goes down. I assume people are writing that into their twilight beastiality slashfic.

Haha nope, feel free though.

I avoid omegaverse like the plague but I am totally reading that one by that really BNF writer who has incredible skill and I can't resist and its not as creepy
 
Okay, knotting is pretty weird. I can only guess they write stories where werewolves have sex with girls, get knotted, and they can't detach until he ejaculates.

To each their own, and I mean no offense, but I am from the 90's, and this kind of trend might be a bit too novel for me to understand.

Well yeah, if you realize it's about bestiality, then it makes sense. Although I'm not familiar with tumblr jargon as to why this is considered a fandom rather than a fetish like it is everywhere else.

Is it bad that I already had an inkling of what knotting would entail just because of the earlier mention of wolves? :x

It's mostly slash that I've seen. But that's the jist, and they aren't werewolves. It's an AU verse where everyone is either uh...Nevermind, I don't really want to explain it here, you get the jist lol

0-0 How the fuck does madness like this happen. Also I am far too naive, I'd assume a tumblr con would be a lot like the old mommy blogging cons. That stuff always seemed like it was pretty well run from what I heard back then, idk what it's like these days.


To be honest a Tumblr con seems like it'd almost be neat if organized correctly. You could have some of the more famous cooking/ food decoration people have a contest judged by the attendees. Popular artists could work in real time as people walked by and watched. Panels on stuff like the evolution of memes, fandom community building, tumblr specific jargon etc etc.

Sure there would be drama but there's enough genuinely good content on tumblr to make something interesting out of it all.

Also the Omegaverse and knotting stuff is fucking tame compared to a lot of what various fandoms have to offer in regards to fanfic.

Yeah, it honestly is, I've gotten used to it being around now. Some of the shit I've read definitely makes Omegaverse look tame.

This knotting stuff... Tumblr is weird as shit. Wreck-it and his thread have been redeemed in my eyes.

It's not a tumblr thing, it's a fandom thing.

Initially read the comment “I didn’t go to the panel about knotting.” as Knitting. Didn't see the harm in a panel about Knitting. Now...jesus....
