Fiction is fiction

Okay, I know there have already been people who have made comments/statements/whatever, I still, very much would like to say something I find important.

Fiction is fiction. I’m not just talking about fanfictions, I mean books, movies, shows, etc. None of it is real.

Right now, you may find that X show is the most important thing in your life, of that Y book was a masterpiece and how dare anyone touch something sacred.

Fiction is fiction. That show you love, with those characters that you adore, they have never existed. (At least in the form that you see them in.)

People, creating content for XYZ are not trying to offend the creator, and they are not trying to offend you.

What they do is praise.

What they do is show appreciation.

What they do is love the same thing that you do, and there is no right way to do that.

Fiction is fiction. One day, XYZ will end. One day, you might not care about what XYZ was. Like everything else in this world, at some point, it will end.

Fiction is fiction. It is not the most important thing in your life. You love it. You feel passionately about it. But it is not the most important thing in your life.

Fiction is fiction. Maybe it has saved you. Maybe it hasn’t. That doesn’t make your love for it unequal or more real.

Fiction is fiction. But the people who create to show their love, appreciation, and praise, is not fiction.

The character, the story, will not get hurt by their representation of their love, appreciation, and praise. They cannot feel.

The creators of the content to show their love, appreciation, and praise, can.

The original creators of the content you love, will not get hurt by people bending their creation, because these people are showing their love, appreciation, and praise.

Fiction is fiction.

When Kafka said All language is but a poor translation and when Murakami said It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.

Love people who have interests or hyperfixations in morbid or depressing or scary fields because they’re trying so hard to balance “ho boy am I excited to talk about all this information I know” and “I recognize that this is very bad and I’m trying to be a little somber about it.”

Watching a documentary about poisonings during the Victorian era and this historian clearly knows so much about arsenic and is trying really hard to be chill.

I’m like this with serial killers and torture methods in history

Ninette Toradora! AU

Marinette and Nino, under ✨circumstances✨ find out who each others crush is.

Nino has a big crush on marinettes bff alya but god he can't let anyone know that. Marinette is head over heels for ninos friend adrien, but she gets so giddy she can't even talk to him. Chloe is just there bc Ami. They decide to help each other out.

Turns out they live next to each other, which is convenient.

Cue shenanigans, slowly becoming the others home, slowly falling in love, the usual toradora drama.

Bonus points if the two are still superheroes (but only them, maybe Nino has the cat miraculous). As superheroes they're very supportive best friends, they know each other like the back of their hand. Could never imagine a ROMANCE between them.

But their civilian selves meet for real, learn to relove the same person. But they slowly start to piece together who the other one is that even the reveal happens they aren't even surprised.

If y’all are wondering about my bio!dad month stuff... I got busy with school, but I had this already pre-written, so I thought I could give you guys this while you wait

In this AU, Hawkmoth never existed, but the miraculous are still a thing. Marinette was chosen and trained by Master Fu to become the next Guardian of the miraculous at a young age.

  • Marinette, at the bright young age of 16, manages to successfully launch her own fashion house with the help of Audrey Bourgeois. Now, wanting to extend her brand to Asia, Marinette goes to Japan to open a branch of her fashion house there.
  • Her brand is under an artist’s name, rather than her real name.
  • Still, Marinette’s parents wanted her to continue her schooling, and Audrey recommended Ouran as a way for her to make powerful connections. The school accepted her application, impressed with her self-starter story, even if her direct family isn’t up to their usual standards.
  • Marinette is a first-year, being in the same class as Haruhi and the twins. This confuses the student body because, well, what family was the Dupain-Chengs? She couldn’t be another scholarship student, Haruhi was the scholarship student of the first years, and there was only one scholarship student in every year.
  • This starts the school-wide “Marinette Mystery”. Students all around need something to spend their time on, and so, people tried to investigate, the phenomenon even spreading to the Host Club. And once it reached the Host Club, it was, of course, turned into a bet on who could crack the Marinette Mystery first.
  • Marinette is completely oblivious to all of this happening. 

“Have you heard about the new student?” “She’s in class 1-A” “Do you know her family?” That was how the whispers sounded in the halls of Ouran, on one Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s first day of school at the prestigious academy. The girl herself was oblivious to the attention as she entered her class and introduced herself, and she continued to be oblivious as she got seated and peoples’ whispers increased in volume.

She stayed oblivious, even as a pair of twins watched on in curiosity, mischievous smirks as crooked as that of the Cheshire cat finding their places on their faces. With the two, a just as oblivious, or perhaps disinterested, girl, sat, not batting an eye and not bothering to listen.

This was the beginning of the Marinette Mystery.

  • Marinette didn’t actively go to the host club in the beginning, mostly due to the fact that she didn’t even know of its existence. Besides, Marinette was a busy girl, she had a company to run and grades to keep up.
  • What she did enjoy doing, was eating outside during lunch under the shade of a tree, enjoying the weather, and her food. She would often prepare or bake her own small pastries for school. Most of the time, something simple and easy like cookies, but if she wanted to be more technical, then Marinette wasn’t above baking some macarons instead. This was the way she first met a member of the host club.

One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.” And everyone else just “aye.”

Not to mention the plot tropes.

“I don’t think the Highschool AU is going to come in too strong this year. Fandoms a touch jaded for that. But the hurt/comfort is growin’ thick as weeds and twice as fast. It’ll be a good harvest, fer sure.”

“I hear over at [neighbouring fandom] they’re putting the top field into fix-it fics.”

“Yes, ‘twould be.  They had a hard season last year, a right hard season.” 

“You think I ought to plant a little Sailor Moon Wild West AU? Don’t know if anything would come of it. Might not make it to harvest.”

“Won’t know until you plant it, will you?”

“Ah, a heritage crop.”

“I heard over at miraculous ladybug they trampled down the Canon field in order to plant an entire new field because the last season didn’t bring them any hope they could get it to the ship.”

“Aye, twas a real hardship indeed.”

Omg
