Old man yells at cloud moment, but I am exhausted by those "Being a writer/liking a character is wanting to see them in a fit of of graphic despair-" because you know to a degree I GET it and I've BEEN there, but I am actually Just tired of angst. It feels like the two genres of fanfiction overwhelmingly are either smut or angst. If fandom isn't sexual, it's catty, if it's not catty, it's sexual, and if you're really unlucky it's both in the good old circa 2010 BL Doujinshi circle "No means yes actually."

Me and my favorite characters are already going through enough as is, only for their front row of cheerleaders to be cheering for their imminent demise, actually.

Like. Being fr. It's fiction. These are fake little guys. Them sobbing in a pool of their own blood literally doesn't hurt anyone. But it does hurt ME, because my little guy is sad and now I am sad. Is there no one? No one who wishes to make life better for these fictional creatures? No writer who takes joy in making their characters happy? No one who wants mine silly little guy to smile as I do??? (I have obviously divolved into drama)

In short: I wish we were able to block specific genres of post without needing keywords like come on, it's literally gotten to the point where I've just started blocking anyone who says 'being a writer is wanting to see your favorite character suffer' because no actually I want to see them get a good night's rest for once. I want to see them happy. I want to see them experiencing warmth and bliss they weren't even sure existed. I want them covered in the blood of their enemies and reviling in their now broken chains. I want them free. Thriving. Committing acts of violence that make them feel like life is worth living.

I already go for the traumatized characters right off the bat, I DON'T want to see them WORSE, I want them to experience comfort for the first time like a top heavy newborn kitten being pet for the first time. Screaming and hissing but warm and safe.

Being real for a moment, I obviously can't stop people from posting or reblogging this genre of posts, NOR WOULD I WANT TO. I'm glad they're having fun, BUT I wish I could blacklist this genre of post.

#cat beefs with fandom again #tale as old as time #it's in part because of the feeling of ostracization and isolation in fandom #but also in large part in the annoyance of repitition #I mean come on #you've seen the post once you've seen it ten times #hundreds of thousands of people trying to get attention to their posts make the exact same 'haha writers!' joke again and again and again #if Tumblr decides to fling writing related tags at you then you'll see three of the exact same post with four different wordings #in the span of five minutes #just let it die #like you disgusting selfish 'fans' want your supposed favorite characters to do #(< mostly joking HOWEVER I must admit I am still not emotionally over alleged fans of my favorite character joking and celebrating their #death on screen to the point where I genuinely could not tell the so called fans from the literal dedicated hate squad the character had)#that and the 'this is GREAT news for my ship!' people being the literal only opinions I saw on the death of my all time favorite guy #it was either celebratory hate game or fujoshi ship fodder #as much I respect and salute my fujo sisters sometimes fandom echos to the level of 'non straight sex is good because it's hot'#and the fujo community does have the overarching tendency of turning complex characters into generic bl tropes #girl you lost me three paragraphs ago who are you talking about?? did you somehow pivot from Big Name Fandom to niche first time Doujinshi?#doujinshi being self published work- not the fanfiction doujinshi though sometimes...#I enjoy angst and shipping to a degree myself even!#I just feel like if a dedicated character hate blog would like an unironically post half of the things that you do about your alleged #''favorite character'' then Idk man maybe you might want to find a character who doesn't make you feel the need to put them through torture #I'd personaoly violate the Geneva Convention FOR my favorite character. Not ON them.
