creating a new OC. He's a doctor who treats weird kink furries. his bit is that every patient who comes into his office he has to figure out how to complete the checkup while working around some weird toon-logic contrivance. He's like the doctor house of kink because he's the only one in his field capable of getting results. He's massively overworked and he's been IP banned from the e621 forums.

I genuinely think Mouthwashing fandom is a good example on how real life misogyny is very wired on people brains and influenced how they engage with fictional misogyny.

You have a story about a woman being assaulted and telling a man he trusted but being dismissed because he is friends with the attacker, and people fixate on shipping her with either of those me.

You have a story about how men that downplay their male friends violence, assume neutrality is the safer option, unintentionally help create an environment that's unsafe to vulnerable people, at a risk becoming a victim themselves. And people make it about toxic yaoi.

You have a character kill herself because she didn't want birth the child of her abuser. And people make AUs where she happily keep the baby.

Misogyny isn't just "I hate this women", it's also downplaying their trauma, defending those who caused it, and reducing them to mothers or wives against their wished under this idea of what womanhood is about.

I don't think we can separate fandom misogyny from it's real world influence, not yet.

I never watched BBC Sherlock or engaged in the fandom and being into original Sherlock Holmes in the year 2024 feels like frolicking in a meadow that’s grown up over a battlefield. Occasionally a war weary veteran with shadows in their eyes will find me. “Don’t you know what happened in this place?” they ask me. “I literally don’t,” I reply, and go back to drawing guys from 1895.

The thing about Wooden Overcoats that interests me most is its almost gothic aspects. There are the surface nods to gothic aestheticism with the gloomy weather of a rural English island and the macabre setting of a funeral home run by the village outcasts. But I believe the Gothicism extends further into the themes and the characters themselves.

Antigone is most obviously reminiscent of the iconic character archetypes of gothic literature. She has an off putting, almost spectral presence. At the beginning of the story she is a complete shut in. Isolated from society, she only even leaves the house once a week to sit by herself in an empty theatre. There is also the matter of her fascination with the mortuary sciences and her reverence for it on a philosophical level. She can be seen in a sense as a keeper of death.

Rudyard conversely is completely consumed by his role as an undertaker. That his business is a family business is of great importance to him. Rudyard sees himself as the torch bearer of his family's legacy. It is revealed slowly over the course of the story how terrified he is at the thought of failing in his role. His inheritance is a gothic one not only because it has to do with death but in the sense that his whole life is haunted by it.

Funn Funeral home thus presents itself as a symbol akin to the haunted houses of gothic fiction. Funn does not stand for Rudyard's name but rather the Funn bloodline itself. It is a monument of tradition that exerts influence over the lives of its owners. It is also the site of the twins' childhood neglect. It is where Antigone learnt to reign in her personhood completely for fear of societal disapproval. It is where Rudyard lost himself to the expectations of his father. This familial rot trapped and inhibited the twins, and in true gothic fashion, festered for decades till the idea of moving beyond it became unthinkable.
