I see it a lot in my students that the ONLY mode they can engage with literature on is one in which they either say it's good because it's "relatable" or it's bad because they "can't relate to it" as well, and I feel like this is a symptom of the same problem. An unwillingness to engage with fiction outside of its ability to be a mirror to your specific worldview and set of morals. But art doesn't exist to give you moral purity badges--it's a mode of expression that produces conversations between artists and readers. And to engage in those converesations on an adult level you need to learn to process the discomfort of flawed human realities productively.

*dusts off my old zutara tag*
Ah shit, here we go again
I was trying to read some Zutara fanfics and I guess I'm too old for the "tortured teenage love affair" theme. The fic was good, well-written and overall engaging and coherent with the characters. What makes it difficult to read is the excess of post sex existential crisis, when both characters were single, willing and fully aware of their mutual feelings.
It's just my personal taste, but I would like to read about them actually being selfish and deciding to stay together despite everything else.
Does anyone have fanfic recommendations for me?
What's the point of shipping if your favourite ship isnt hated by the half of the fandom?
"Alas I shall feed my enemies poison
So they'll die like the rats they are!"
"Try the belladonna" you said.
"Make it poetic!"
I disagreed. "They do not deserve poetry"
You smirked knowingly and whispered
"But you do."
Going through old posts and Jon x Arya tags and content makes me so happy. I might not be active in the community anymore, but I'm so glad for the friends I've made and the laughs we shared.
A special shout out to @buttercuparry @alinaastarkov @justwinginoverthings @blood-and-lychee @ourmrsreynolds @maisiestyle @buckybarnex @circe1fanatic @hermiione @goodmeowningcols and so many others I lost track in this site.

The heart is all that matters... Your sister is not lost to you.

90% of the characters I like in Shadow and Bones are basically a combination o good looks, bad ideas and impeccable wardrobe.
