Fans of Fandoms! -- CassJayTuck's Aftershock

[Ryzxn]

Obviously, this thread is for fans of various fandoms. Any fandom is welcome, and aftershock victims may be consolidated here. Come cry on someone's shoulder about how Mark of Athena (by Rick Riordan) ended. Or maybe you're just yelling the world should burn because Peeta is amazing and your mind can't deal with all the emotions after reading Mockingjay. Of course, there are things to fix that. Like chocolate.
For those of you poor souls who do not know what the Aftershock is, the following video will explain it quite thoroughly:

*warning, Mockingjay spoilers. Plus minor Sherklock, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Twilight, and Doctor Who references. But basically just CassJayTuck screaming out names, so no worries. Plus two other things I honestly don't recognize (still only names, though). If anyone does, please share.


And, finally, if you refrained from watching it due to spoilers, don't worry! You can still experience most of the knowledge you'd gain from the video from this synopsis:

• Prologue --- Fans of fandoms! Today we come together to discuss the one topic we all can sympathize with: the Aftershock.
  
  
• Phase 1: The Blank Stare --- When the numbness from the realization from what you just read/watched/etc. hits you. And you're just like . . . What do I do with my life?
  And if you're in the middle of work or school, there's always that one person who asks, "Hey, are you OK?" And your response is:
  ...ayhgoaowgywoargbdg? *breaks down into tears* uuh-uuh ;-;
  
  
• Phase 2: Incredulousness --- When you look up from whatever is making you feel this way, and you realize the world is still turning -- going on as usual! People are talking about work and school and you're just like... "NO!" *waves hands around in the air frantically* "NOOOO. You should all be in tears! The world should be BURNING! WHO CARES ABOUT TAXES?" And then you proceed to, once again, break down into tears.
  
  
• Phase 3: Trying to get on with your life --- And, you know, failing miserably at that. Because the happenings your just experienced are just fictional, after all, and you, YOU, are a normal human being, and YOU will going on with doing normal human being... stuff. There's a certain determination in this statement. That lasts for about 5 seconds.
  Example 1: "Hey, I'm calling to pay my utilities bill... *starts crying* who cares about my card number!? [insert impossible thing from recent fandom heart-attack here.] NOTHING MATTERS. ...hello?" ;^;
  
  
• Phase 4: Denial --- *closes book* Nope. Nope. *shakes head furiously* Nope. Nope. NOPE. NOPENOPENOPEEEE. *lies of ground* Nopenopenopenope. *rolls around on floor* NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPENOPENOPE. Nooooooooppppeee! Didn't happen, didn't see it, didn't read it. Nooope. Nooope. No.
  
  
• Phase 5: Calling a Friend --- Who is also in the fandom that is currently giving you a heart attack, and then getting ridiculously upset when you near that they *airquote* Aren't There yet *unairquote*
  Example 1: "Hooooow!? How are you not there yet? Busy!? That is not an excuse! Now who am I suppose to sob with!? *starts crying again*"
  When this ^ happens, you turn to Tumblr. 'Cuase they've probably watched, and read, and reviewed, and analyzed, and turned into every GIF imaginable the thing that's making you cry.
  
  
• Phase 6: What the heck now? Phase --- because it's literally, like, "what the heck now?" *Stares around room for a moment, then shrugs.* "So, uh... Okaaaay." *sighs sadly*
  
  
• Epilogue --- Here's some advice on how to avoid the Aftershock. Just kidding. There is none. There's no getting around from this.
  
  Now, for those of you strange creatures called "Average Human Beings Who Don't Belong To a Fandom," if you detect these phases coming from someone near you, stay away. Do Not Touch! Fans of fandoms have basically become savage jungle animals. So, do not get close. Don't ask us what is wrong. Do. NOT. try. To Hug. If you have food, like chocolate, plop it in our laps and BOOK IT. A fan on edge is not a fan to be trifled with. Like setting off a bomb.
  Fans of fandoms! You know what I'm talking about! That's why there's this video: because I know you know! We put ourselves through this! Multiple times! And there's some sick, twisted part of us that actually LIKES it. We have nobody to blame, but ourselves.
  

Note: Finalu (including myself) does not own any of this. It's all CassJayTuck, who is an amazing person who does amazing videos about fandoms. We're not taking any credit. Even most of the synopsis is directly CassJayTuck's words. Thanks. c;

AHAHA, this one is me:

Phase 1: The Blank Stare --- When the numbness from the realization from what you just read/watched/etc. hits you. And you're just like . . . What do I do with my life?
And if you're in the middle of work or school, there's always that one person who asks, "Hey, are you OK?" And your response is:
...ayhgoaowgywoargbdg? *breaks down into tears* uuh-uuh ;-;

And this one is Lychee:
Phase 4: Denial --- *closes book* Nope. Nope. *shakes head furiously* Nope. Nope. NOPE. NOPENOPENOPEEEE. *lies of ground* Nopenopenopenope. *rolls around on floor* NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPENOPENOPE. Nooooooooppppeee! Didn't happen, didn't see it, didn't read it. Nooope. Nooope. No.

Of course it is. When I was reading Elantris, ohmigod I freaked out, liked, 15 times. One time I was at school, my eyes widened, and I just closed the book and and put it down then stared blankly around at my table group, wondering how they were just going on with their assignment. Several times I started to reach for the book, and then I mumbled, "No, no, I can't . . . I just can't . . . nonono." Now that I look back on it, I was hilarious. xD But seriously, if you read that book, you would understand. I was also on the bus when I read A CERTAIN PART and I started freaking out and the eight grader sitting next to me just gave me a stare. Then I got home, got my mom to make popcorn, and drank a soda so I could calm down and read it. xD Ah, I love that book. xD

Hmm. I'm usually the blank stare, then straight to denial. It works out a little like this:

". . . *blinkblink* . . . *blink, blinkblink* . . . *nerdrage* WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? *flips a table or fourteen* NOPE. NO. NO WAY. NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE. NOOOOO. *falls on floor, yelling NOPE, then, when finished yelling, just stares at the ceiling for a while.*

xDDD I actually threw Elantris on the ground a few times. I wanted to scream at it and hate the author, but that would have been loud. xD
