This is just another form of censorship, control of what we can/can't see and engage with, and another means of getting our private information.

there’s a big difference between “i’m sad because a character i was emotionally invested in was killed off” and “this character’s death served no purpose, was used for shock value, and is the product of bad writing and i’m upset about that”

some of you really aren’t gonna like this, but a creator’s wishes should never dictate what fan content is produced for a piece of media.

in the past, authors like anne rice have tried to limit the production of fanfiction. but at least rice was honest - she thought this infringed on her copywrite. back in the day, this was considered a valid argument to not create any fanfiction at all for her works.

do you understand what i’m saying? while you may sound valiant for placing a creator’s “discomfort” above the fan’s natural proclivities in fandom, really you’re just continuing to advocate for censorship in fan spaces.

and for anyone who is a creator, or who wants to become one - get comfortable with the rules of the internet. there will be erotic content made of your characters, there will be weird AUs made with your characters. there will be strange pairings and headcanons, no matter if you interact religiously with the fans or not. you cannot stop people from connecting with and wanting to be creative with your characters.

"exercise will give you more energy" gets said a lot as a common piece of health advice but I think it needs to be expanded into "exercising will make you tired while you do it, and you will continue to be tired immediately afterwards, sometimes even the next day too, but over months of consistent exercise, your muscles will get stronger and therefore get less tired out by everyday activities, making you feel like day-to-day life takes less physical energy than it used to"

How would TFP autobots react to TFA Ultra Magnus?

Hey! :)

If you look back through my previous Asks, you’ll find that the general consensus is-

With, of course, the main event: the Magnus vs. Magnus showdown, where TFP Ultra Magnus unwittingly earns himself a permanent spot in this multiverse family just by standing on his principles (and perhaps committing TFP-worthy acts of gratuitous violence to send a message).

In all seriousness-

They’re generally just very displeased with Dollar Store Magnus, and they make their dislike known.

They respect the TFA Crew’s autonomy and their choices on this matter, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be waiting for their opportunity.

They’ll be ready any time if the TFA Crew ever changes their minds and chooses vengeance.

Seriously.

Any time.
