I saw some #discourse go by about how adults shouldn’t be in fandom writing about younger characters because it’s uncomfortable and gross to younger people to have adults ‘thinking about them’ in romantic/sexual terms.

1, This is not a restriction that any writers in any other venue have to deal with, wtf, or the entire YA genre would be banished; 2, Excuse you, children of Tumblr, no one is thinking about you.

If other people in fandom are older than you, by definition, they have been your age. When fans write about younger characters, we’re not peering through a keyhole at young people now and creeping on them.

We are drawing on our own experiences, thoughts, feelings and memories of what it was like when we were that age.

No one has the right to ask older writers to cut themselves off from their own past just because young’uns don’t want to acknowledge that people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, all of them, were also young once. I’m 41, but I remember vividly what it was like to be 14. If I write a high school AU, it’s about my high school experience, even if I were to set it in the present day and decorate it with some (probably comically out of touch) Stuff The Kids Are Into Now. If I write a high school AU with sex, it’s because I remember that too! I’m not thinking about kids today, why would I– I have my own experiences to draw on. And honestly, sometimes there are things about being young that you don’t really understand until you’re much older and have some perspective– and that’s worth writing about.

If someone is genuinely a creeper, you’ll know, because they’ll ask you questions about you. But people who aren’t even directly interacting with you, who are just expressing themselves in fiction, are not a threat to you, and it’s not creepy for them to draw on their own experiences and their own past to write about younger characters.

@ everyone who went through a period of having no friends, who ate alone, who had a point in their life where they were too embarrassed to tell their parents they had no one to play with after school: I love you. I know it hurts and I know it’s hard but it’s not your fault. Things will grow and change. You will find people who you click with and they will love you too. You deserve positive friendship relationships just like anyone else. And if you’re still going through this phase, you’re strong, and things will change for you too. You are not alone, there are people experiencing the same thing you are, find them, you deserve positivity and companionship. Keep your head up.

Lemme tell ya: it always happens. For everyone. Even if you have ‘friends’ now but you don’t really connect with them. You will find new people. Maybe they move into town or they’ve been living there just as long as you have, but you never talked. You will find your people. I promise.

Did you ever just feel so lucky for knowing someone you met online? Like.. I was one click away from not following you. I was one second away from never even knowing of your existence.  I would never have been this happy.

I’m gonna be real with you chief. If I was a recently fallen angel and I slid on over to to a not so fallen angel (who is supposed to be guarding specifically against me lmao good job on that one buddy) and started up a chat and he actually, like, ENGAGED in the conversation with me and then he revealed that DEFIED HIS ORDERS  and gave away his flaming sword because he didn’t want to watch humans be defenseless and have to suffer needlessly (which, like, SAME. I also hate watching humans suffer needlessly. It was a whole Thing) and then and then and THEN he SHIELDS ME, THE GUY THAT FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES HE SHOULD BE FIGHTING, WITH HIS OWN PERSONAL ATTACHED TO HIS BODY WING from the first ever rain? I, too, would’ve been like shit man. Guess I’ll be in love with you for the next 6000+ years.
