Write them to show what’s healthy. Write them to show what’s unhealthy.
Write them because problematic behaviors exists, and writing is a medium to explore and show– to teach and make the reader think. Shying away from these topics only creates ignorance.
I see so many people telling writers to avoid anything that could be problematic, like writing about it is supporting it. They fail to see the importance of writing with depth and meaning.
Writing has always been about conveying thoughts and ideas without fear of censorship. Being able to present problematic situations in a healthy way is important.
If I ever stop reblogging this topic, assume I’m either dead or have been assimilated by the mindless masses.
totally didn’t just spend 3 hours reading through a shit ton of hanahaki fics because I am absolutely w e a k for hanahaki, no nope, totally did not just do that
i’m talking 30+, 40+ y’all are awesome! so many of you have been through so many fandoms. like, when i meet older voltron fans, it’s like WOW! you were around and watching the first time voltron aired! that’s so cool! so many of them are such talented writers who know the importance of Ao3 having been through livejournal and ff.net and all that stuff from before i was a part of fandom. some even from the days when zines were made by hand! like, wow! yet, so many of them are apprehensive to tell me their age at first due to judgment, but it’s like, no! you are so welcome here! you literally are part of why we have what we have today. lets talk! bestow your fandom wisdom unto me! let’s talk about favorite character and all our ships! so what if you’re older than me? we’re all fans!
i don’t understand ageism in fandom at all, they’re just people.. who have been doing this longer than you. and that’s awesome. like meeting people who grew up stanning star wars when it was first released? that is so freaking cool! veteran nerds. they are the folk who laid out what fandom has become today, and they belong in fandom spaces so hard. so remember to respect your fandom elders.
Late night headcanon: Tucker is just as lazy and messy as Grif in a domestic setting but no one on blue team gives a shit so he never gets called out for it (at least until wash shows up)
just once i wanna put the blade of my sword under a pretty boy’s chin and tilt their head up so i can see both fear and arousal in their eyes is that too much to ask
