we were eating good food after the bad blood music video came out, and then fandom somehow managed to apply the "your ship is only valid if it's canon" flop logic to rpf and it was all downhill from there.
i do wish people weren't writing about karlie's real children because that's kind of an unspoken rule of rpf to avoid kids and non public figures but like. so much potential! so much food left on the table while people squabble! FLORIDA!!!!!! dkfhgjkg
it is funny how swiftie community kinda tries to distance itself from that kind of rpf fan language and community despite the fact that we're all still doing the same exact thing but everyone has to act like the discovered the Ultimate Truth of her relationships instead of just admitting that something is interesting to them and they think it warrants conversation and art and fanwork even if its unrealistic or untrue. In its lack the fanworks that do exist feel either antiseptic and restricted by whats Respectable and True or kind of skeezy and gross (that woman who fucking published her tayvis fanfiction and it just. it felt bad.)
kaylor is a big point bc i think the kind of concerning intensity of the LSK conspiracy community would be a lot less intense if fic actually played a role but like just in general! taylor hangs out w and performs w has chemistry w so many women many of whom are already gay or bi and also are so hot and also have crazy chemistry w her! Have fun and fly free! she isnt even on this site anymore you cab post whatever!
#ask#isaidquirky#taylor swift#after re-entering the mcr fandom in 2019/20 ive taken a positive radical apporach to rpf i think its so necessary for any real person fandom#its so important to have a space where you can just make shit up and be qrong bc otherwise you have to validate everything w urself#which also requires the ppl who disagree w you to be literally Incorrect#which is what leads to so much tension and evem straight up hate and harassment#when you lose rpf you get teenagers being doxxed and outed to their families for calling taylor swift gay#rpf definitely has its drawbacks and it wont stop ppl from being bullies or being creepy but i do think its NECESSARY#dont be scared of rpf you are already doing it etc etc#anyway thats enough from me
