Did no one hear the distant thunder?

there's a post on my dash equating "criticizing people for writing porn about children" with "legally banning writing porn about children" and it's like. so stupid it's embarrassing

by and large people are not agitating for the government to enact laws banning you from writing morally and ethically reprehensible fanfiction

but no one is obligated to platform it and no one is obligated to be nice to you about your decision to write it

hope this helps

#the people who have substituted fandom discourse for a personality desperately want to have their cake and eat it too

#they want to write shockingly disgusting things but feel that they shouldn't have to deal with people being shocked and disgusted

#is fanfiction a legitimate form of literature? then it's subject to criticism just like any other literature

#die mad etc.

if I forgot your favorite subgenre or misclassified a band feel free to argue in the replies 👍

did i follow someone by accident again by scrolling too fast on the mobile app or are you a longtime mutual who has changed their url, profile pic, and entire identity in the twelve hours since i last logged on?

Sees a piece of media has SungWon Cho in it: It's prozd! my friend prozd! we went to tumblr posts together

they’re making red onions woke

they’re making the willow tree in my backyard woke

they’re making the way a field of long grass bends, how the wind ripples through like waves woke

i understand the appeal of publishing "fic with the serial numbers filed off" as original work but i also feel like. what makes something a good fic is at odds with what makes something a good original story.

a good fic is in conversation with a source text, it may give a character an interesting role, it may reinterpret or subvert the rules established in the canon universe, whatever. but like. its transformative by nature. whereas original stories - good ones, anyway - have their own internal, non-referrential sense of logic and rules. it can be in conversation with the genre writ large but it has to have internal substance that can stand alone. which fic inherently cant do.

in light of recent news, and in fear of losing one of the only things that brings me joy in my stupid baka life, here's all episodes of puppet history.

Bothering the beast

"[black character] just doesn't have enough material, that's why they're boring" tell me why y'all want to fuck the drider then. or he-who-was. or samson dragonage. tell me why fan demand got cullen brought up from being a side npc to a main character. or got halsin turned into a companion. quickly now.

cant believe they gave this woman enough money to ruin the environment for singing vapid shit of this caliber for over a decade. have some shame man. get a grip. what the hell are any of you even doing

"you just hate her" i hate you lot. i dont hate her. shes demonstrably incapable of eliciting any sort of strong feelings positive or negative from people that arent functionally american suburbia poisoned. genuinely how do you in your mind explain to yourself the need to justify listening to this wjthout a gun pressed to your temple or like a hefty financial incentive idk you do you but my God. my Good Dear God
