Me when I see posts where ppl are complaining abt fanfic writers changing or altering plot points/characterization of character by asking if they’ve even read the source material and how what their writing isn’t in line with canon:

Like that's entirely the point. We saw what canon did. Cool, awesome, amazing, fantastic. What we as fanfic writers want to explore is what if it didn't.

We want to see what would happen if we had slightly altered things or if certain things worked a different way or if things didn't happen all together. Canon is but the source material for our manipulation and experimentation. And sure it can get annoying if things commonly used in fanon are innaccurate or misrepresent the spirit of the story but here’s the thing: you don’t have to read it.

If fanon bothers you don’t engage with it. If you want to see more interpretations similar to your own then make content for it and share it. Popularize the takes you wanna see by starting the conversation. The only thing you really accomplish by complaining is making someone else feel bad for enjoying exploring their imagination. Because nobody is going to stop changing canon however they please and making something they enjoy just cause you don’t like it as much as they do.

If you don’t want people to misrepresent characters, then write them how you think they should be represented. If you don’t like seeing certain tags, then just don’t engage with them. No one is forcing you and if you were unsatisfied, then do something about it other than complaining and making everyone else feel bad.

Can we just learn to tolerate each other more? Because no one is saying you’re wrong either. There might be people who agree with you, but wouldn’t it more productive to create some thing those ppl will also enjoy rather than to bring down the people who enjoy warping canon every which way?

tldr; A mostly vent post about how people complaining about fanfiction not reflecting canon or aspects of canon are annoying. Fanfiction is not meant to replicate canon but to purposefully fuck around with it. They don’t accomplish anything other than making people feel bad about enjoying stuff that they don’t like. If you have such an issue with it, then start creating content that you want to see and more ppl will join in bc that’s how fandoms fucking work.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

sorry i cant hang out i forgot how to mimic human like behaviour

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
