So I was originally writing up a post about going to see Allison Mack in Apple Cover over the weekend but then I got side tracked by real life stress today and now I'm catching up on the Chloe fan kerfuffle and laughing and shaking my head. So this post will be about that instead with my Apple Cove stuff to come tomorrow. (I KNOW GUYS MARK YOUR CALENDAR. lol no one cares)

As funny as I find most of this (and it's pretty funny) it also bums me out. Especially after my lovely experience with everyone at Apple Cove. We weren't all one type of Chloe fan and we managed to eat Greek food and unsucessfully try to hail cabs and not murder each other. OMG it's not even a good TV show. We're not fighting over Shakespeare here guys. This is a show that can count among it's plotlines FAKE BABY and UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

The thing that I always really liked about my/our corner of the fandom is how we stuck together. We sort of felt like the underdogs, just like Chloe herself. In my time in SV fandom, I've seen people ship all kinds of Chloe pairings. Chlex. Chlark. Chlionel (Ok that's mostly just me). Chlollie. Chavis. Chlois although that is more a theory than a ship but let's just go with this.

The cool thing about being a Chloe fan always used to be that we were all pretty chill with multi-shipping. Let's not ruin the one good thing we got out of this show. BE COOL BBS.

I think a good rule of thumb is to just not be an asshole. Not that hard.

You don't like such and such pairing or such and such thing? Coolio. No one cares. You love such and such pairing? Awesome! I still don't care but I hope it brings you joy. Let's not be so invested in the opinions of others. I know the "SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET" urge can get so strong sometimes but at those times ask yourself "Am I being a douche?" If the answer is yes (and you will know when it is) then just take a deep breath and realize that contrary to what facebook/twitter/blog culture tells us, we don't ACTUALLY need to post every thought we have. Sometimes censoring is just being polite.

The show is almost over and I can guarantee, because I have been following (if not watching the last two years) this terrible mess so long that not everyone will be happy how it ends. Probably no one will. I'm personally holding out for rocks fall, everyone dies. So instead of making even the fandom for this shitty show shitty can we just BE COOL? Please? I just want to be like that chick in Mean Girls and bake a cake full of rainbows and get the world to sing in perfect harmony.

Dammit Smallville fandom, this is why we can't have nice things.

ETA: Decided to unlock the post because I stand by my "please let's not be douches" public service announcement.

VOTE CHLOE SULLIVAN FOR SMALLVILLE

GUYS! GUYS! Seriously GUYS! You know how I said last night that if you didn't vote for Chloe I didn't know you? WELL I'M SERIOUS YOU GUYS. She's loosing to Lois. LOIS! This cannot happen. If this happens I will burn down fandom.

IF YOU LOVE ME AT ALL YOU WILL VOTE FOR CHLOE! I don't care if you don't even know who she is bbs. DO IT FOR ME. I know I have plenty of Gossip Girl fan bbs on my flist who have the good taste not to watch Smallville. Do me a solid and vote for Chloe! I will post some icons I have lying around on my computer! I WILL BRIBE YOU GUYS, COME ON!

Guys, there's something I have to tell you. I've long kept quiet during discussions of Smallville's actresses because I've been holding in a terrible secret. But I think it's time to let it out:

Allison Mack doesn't just hate poor people. She sometimes kills and eats them. She also did the following: Canceled every good show on FOX, Voted for Sanjaya, IS Sanjaya, Raped Veronica, Shot JFK from the grassy knoll, is responsible for the career of Paris Hilton and wrote the Epilogue for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. She also sells drugs to children in hand knitted dime bags, and then stabs them with her knitting needles.

I also have it on good authority that she both kicked your dog and stole all your glitter pens. Wherever she goes she deprives the world of laughter, sunshine, and kittens.

I know guys, this is shocking. I was shocked too. I didn't know Allison Mack was such a straight-up thug. And then of course I found photographic evidence:



I know I should stop mocking SV fandom at some point. Maybe I will when it gets itself into fandom rehab and gets off the crack? Maybe I'm just mean because I'm in the Chloe mafia and we haven't wacked anyone lately? Mysteries, mysteries.

Until then, I'll be over here hoping that Allison Mack doesn't pop a cap up in my Az-kaban.

ETA: Guys, another hero has stepped forward to help me uncover the truth about Allison Mack and the Chloe mafia. I hope you guys realize how brave we both are.

This way for more ICONS!!

So I was checking Television Without Pity today to see if there were any new Smallville spoilers. I mean, how can I survive without more knowledge of the FAKE BABY. I mean...hormone injections....sorry. Tangent.

Anyway, after I saw that there were no new spoilers worth seeing I popped over to the Allison Mack thread just in time to see the most hilarious bitching about pointless stuff I've ever seen.

Hey, did you guys know that ALLISON MACK HATES THE POOR?!

I'm still giggling. I mean, I could go into how ridiculous it is to postulate based off of a post about helping people in third world countries build up their economy that the poster is omgz!racist but...it's too easy. At least this was good for a giggle during finals.

I got the impression from these posts that these people would come out in the opposite to anything Allison might say. If Allison came out and said she was against kitten drowning I'm sure they would be like "OMGZ! How dare you persecute kitten drowners!1!"

Is it wrong that I want to make shirts that say "Allison Mack Doesn't Care About Poor People" and send them to the people that were having a fit? Yes? I can accept that.
