A Few Reminders Because Im Tired And Angry

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

On Gun and Daniel's Final (?) Note

SPOILER ALERT

Personally I find Gun and Daniel's dynamic fascinating, as morally questionable as it is. As a reader, I believe that fiction exists to allow us to sympathize with a vast range of human character.

So I don't want Daniel to become a totally upright and moral character, because his being so will turn this story pedantic, pretentious, and proselytizing. I disagree with other readers who think that Daniel shouldn't have sought out Gun in the first place, that he shouldn't have called Gun "brother". It's a well-known martial arts fiction trope, this sort of brotherhood, and besides, it's really nice for me to see that Daniel is a flawed human being.

However, and this I have to underline, even though I like the ambiguity of Daniel's moral compass, I think PTJ shouldn't have made Daniel group Eugene into "bad" and Gun into "good" so bluntly. Besides, since when did Daniel adopt Vasco's past dichotomous thinking?

In my humble opinion as a nobody,

PTJ could've had Daniel say that he knew where Gun had gone wrong, and how, despite that, he still respected, and cared for, Gun. That to Daniel, the times he spent learning with Gun mattered more than the promise he made for Eugene. And that he saw Gun as a flawed Human Being, not just a gory Ghost like all the rest.

Daniel should've been made to question about Eugene's motives too (a.k.a whether Eugene actually started out as a victim, just like himself, in the past), and still found himself unable to agree with Eugene in spite of these.

After all, doesn't Eugene deserves some empathy too, in his horrifying experiences of school violence? Although this certainly doesn't negate his very, very terrible crimes in the name of Workers.

So let me feel the ambiguity, PTJ. Allow me to sympathize with, and curse, more of your characters at the same time. Allow me to feel that they're complex humans, even though they aren't real.

I don't know what I was thinking Leaving my child behind Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind

Is this revenge I am seeking?Or seeking someone to avenge me?

It won't be long before I'll become a puppet

It's been so long Since I last have seen my son lost to this monster

Since you've been goneI've been singing this stupid song

so I could ponder

The sanity of your mother

Your sweet little eyes, your little smile is all I remember

Justification is killing me

But killing isn't justified

What happened to my son? I'm terrified

I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there

I wish I lived in the present Live in the present

With the gift of my past mistakes

Maybe there is a universe out there where we could’ve lived peacefully together.

Because I thought of something extremely random, and I'm not sure how many people will connect with this but I've seen a resurgence on tiktok of roleplay accounts— SO MY QUESTION IS Y'ALL

if you were a roleplay account at any period of time on Tumblr, Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram etc at all let me know what your experiences were with it genuinely because I USE TO BE A HARI KURONO / CHRONOSTASIS ROLEPLAY ACCOUNT LIKE FROM MHA IN LIKE 2019... IF I FIND IT I'LL TOTALLY MAKE ANOTHER POST but I'm genuinely curious what y'all's traumas or fond memories were of your roleplay account days (IM ALSO MAINLY TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHO DREW THEIR OWN LIKE— Q&A THINGS BTW)

posting online everyday is unsustainable i hope all you fellow internet artists recover from the bullsh*t “”expected”” rate of pumping out ””content”” for the algorithm (what the hell are we… robots???) and reclaim the pace (and peace!!!) you were actually built to keep
