Understanding Lolisho as a FictionAlly

I will analyze lolicons to prove enjoyment of objectionable fiction does NOT reflect real life preferences. This in contrast to the Anti-Fiction myth sprouted by antis that A) fiction promotes real life attitudes, and B) enjoyment of objectionable fiction reflects real life preferences. My FictionAlly (a renaming of prohship) hypothesis is that A) fiction does NOT promote real life attitudes, and B) enjoyment of objectionable fiction does NOT reflect real life preferences.

"In August 1983, Kawaguchi Toshihiko from Hokkaidō Prefecture writes, 'I have a two-dimensional complex (nijigen konpurekkusu). I don’t feel anything for the photographs in the opening pages. For that reason, I’d like you to stop with the pictures and run only manga'" - Galbraith, P. W. (2011). Lolicon: The Reality of ‘Virtual Ch*ld P*rn*gr*phy’ in Japan. Image & Narrative, 12(1), 83–119. Retrieved from https://www.imageandnarrative.be/index.php/imagenarrative/article/view/127

This quote came from Manga Burikko per the Patrick W. Galbraith scholarly article cited above. With an understanding of the history of lolicon and an understanding of what Galbraith toned down, the common Anti argument that lolicon equals pedophilia is disproven. Messages like that appeared in Manga Burikko when they added lolicon (fictional manga) content during 1980s lolicon (fictional drawings) boom. Manga Burikko had real ch*ld p*; it was legal in Japan prior to 1999. But messages sent from the new lolicon boom audience led to Manga Burikko ending its run of real ch*ld p*. The real pictures were taking up pages that could be used for the loli (fictional) art. As the article states, "It seems that the editors finally yielded to reader demands in November 1983….Gravure idol photography is entirely absent, and remained so for the rest of the magazine's existence." Literally, lolicons decreased the amount of real ch*ld p* being published. The new lolicon boom audience choose drawn images over real ch*ld p*. No real pedophile would ever do that. This was before ch*ld p* was outlawed in Japan, so it wasn't guilty pedophiles choosing safe fiction. This is OBJECTIVE proof that lolicon DOES NOT equal pedophilia. Furthermore, the lolicon boom audience disliking the irl ch*ld p* while liking the fictional content proves that fictional preferences do NOT reflect real life preferences. This applies to furries, fictional incest, fictional non-con, fictional violence, and more. Fiction is fiction. Anti-Fiction types believe that controlling or censoring fiction can be used for real life advocacy. Per the FictionAlly hypothesis, they are dead wrong.

nooo please bless us with a little bit of Lando dragons au angst 🙏🤲 what if we also got a sprinkle of comfort too…? 👀

I have been explicity told no more angst for Egg and Lando by @f1-birb, but we did come up with some angst and hurt/comfort for Egg that I will be answering in another ask in a minute 👀

So far some of the angst in this au is:

Lando's og family dying and him being abandoned

Being bullied for not having a dragon (despite George trying to protect him)

Injured during training and blood loss feet Egg attacking someone and the other dragons being upset over Lando being hurt (cause Lando is dragon catnip)

I've been told to focus on cuter ideas today and leave the dragons alone 😂😂

"Listen," one guard said, "I know we have only just met-"

"No," the other guard said, "we've worked together for years!"

"-but you can trust me when I say-"

"I can't, you have the curse that's opposite from mine!"

"I don't care for you at all."

"Well, I… oh… I love you too."

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

Bleeding:

Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s only sticky after it coagulates.

It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.

Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.

blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.

it’s slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.

Stab wounds:

I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.

also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.

if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)

whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites

Concussion:

despite the amnesia and confusion, people ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.

if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.

Fever:

you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.

ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:

sluggishness

seizures (severe)

inability to speak clearly

feeling chilly/shivering

nausea

pain

delirium

symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.

ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.

fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.

keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you

ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:

YOU DIE AT 85F

sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.

pt 2

also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox

me reading straight up pornography: hmm… this one just doesn’t have enough accurate character psychoanalysis to get me off

[braxiatel]

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits
