sometimes a family can be an escaped convict arsonist, a creepy psychic ghost girl, and a mad scientist trapped in the shadow realm. this is not one of those times however

THE MARAUDERS ARENT REAL PEOPLE CAN MAKE WHATEVER CHARACHTERISATIONS THEY LIKE

THE MARAUDERS ARENT REAL PEOPLE CAN MAKE WHATEVER CHARACHTERISATIONS THEY LIKE

Theyre fictiona charachters babe nobody cares that "real people wouldn't forgive their brother for joining a hate group" (wonderful to know you speak for EVERY SINGLE SIBLING ON THE PLANET but dont actually take real people who have real thoughts into consideration bc i would, in their situation, 10000% forgive my siblings. I would understand. Also remember that regulus CANONICALLY BETRAYED THE DEATH EATERS when youre making this argument)

They can be gay!!! They can be straight!!! They can be whatever the fuck we want because theyre fictional characters!!!!

Some people dont understand that theyre fictional, adjective, imaginary, not real

Toodles, start as many arguments if you want

Infact send me hate anons too, ill respond i promise. Youll regret it, but i promise ill respond

Or better yet, go on not anon and prove your brave

Or even better, get a life. This fandom is made of REAL PEOPLE, who wanted to ESCAPE. The writers and artists in this fandom are spending time out of their day to create things for others consumption, for fun, for free. They dont deserve to be sent hate anons. I literally just scrolled past someone sharing anons that called them fat and racist, as if that had ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. The racism in question: regulus watching anime. Thats. Thats why.

This fandom has went really downhill recently and im actually really upset about it. I joined this fandom about two years ago when i was goung through a really stressful point in my life and its been an escape ever since. Earlier this year, i started writing. But i havent touched my WIP in at least three months because I havent had the motivation because i dont feel comfortable in this fandom.

And Yes, im tagging a lot of possibly unrelated things across the fandom because everyone needs to see the message

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

16. a quote from an unpublished story.

"Another night of soft whispers, muted thoughts, and dazed loving. Puffs of grey smoke concealing the passing of orange candy, moving person to person through a delicate brush of wrist. Orange candy that ultimately found its way to the tip of your tongue, where the words you looked for couldn’t be found.

Those lost words were for the broad, handsome, stunning man who sat in the corner of the club. One woman on his arm, another on his lap, whose hair he mindlessly tugged on as he conversed with his peers. The words that now twisted your heart sore, and had you stumbling up to the bar and grabbing a glass of whatever was in front of you.

[from future series...uh yeah idk itll prolly change so...ugh i dont like it]

[thefudge]

I hate to say this but that crazy bitch does have a point in one thing. You don't seem to have any respect for respect Cami and her relationship with Charles. I completely understand if it was Jeronica but Cole/Cami fic? I thought someone with a PhD would know better between the difference of fiction and nonfiction.

1. i dont go about insulting or attacking charles or trying to undermine their relationship. i don’t even bring him up in this whole business because this is a purely fictional possibility for fun (and check no. 4 to see why)

2. i have dabbled in RPF before and i don’t go about it in an exploitative manner, at least my readers can attest i do not. 

3. that STILL doesnt give ppl the right to insult cami and use all sorts of slurs, while also shaming her for her assault 

4. nothing about a colemila fic would be non-fiction. nothing. RPF (literally, real person FICTION) on ao3 is non-profit niche that barters in possible fictional scenarios of a fictionalized version of the people in question. u won’t see me tweeting my fics to actors. social media has given us the false impression that we can “connect” with celebrities and therefore, they are also the gatekeepers of fandom because god forbid they stumbled upon some of our content. they aren’t, and they won’t. i will not curate my small blog and my fanfic input because, somehow, through impossible odds, c*le is gonna cry in his thousand-dollars watch over it. he won’t. neither will camila. as a side note, i glanced at the lili/c*le tag on ao3 and it’s not lacking in fics (57). indulging in RPF only becomes morally circumspect when you are harassing the people involved and trying to make your fictional version reality. oh and you’d be surprised how many people with PhDs don’t realize these pretty basic differences. 

5. did you know that the Bronte sisters wrote fanfic about the Duke of Wellington and his kids who were all still alive at the time? no? well, there are about 10000+ other authors who did the same. have fun browsing 

6. i havent even written the fic lol the outrage

[bluephoenixquill]

Honestly, this needs to be said. Its been really sad for me to watch blogs that were once safe havens from the bullshit of this fandom turn right around and devolve into k/lance or l/ance hate blogs, i know thats probably not thier intention, but thats how it comes across. All i can say is that atleast they have the decency to keep it out of the tags, but so much of it comes off as so mean spirited and the occasional "klance and lance are actually fine and we dont hate the people who ship them" post does little to mitigate it.

Also no one writes perfectly characterized fic 100% of the time, and no one starts out writing perfect characterization. I have my pet peeves in fic and i aboid them when i come across them, but ill never belittle people for writing those pet peeve fics, noone writes perfect characterization of every chacter in a fanfic. Hell not everyone needs or wants too.

Sometime a fic is written for the emotional catharsis it gives reader or writer. Sonetimes a writer is just starting out, or is new to the fandom and hasnt read the 10000 meta posts made examining every frame of the show. Sometimes chachterizations will be proven inaccurate when new material is released.

No one, no shipper, no writer, no artist, no fan is perfect, and we shouldnt have to be.

I get that most of the hateful material i see now is still aimed at antis, but it never seems like it.

Do you guys even have any proof that the people who make those klance edits you hate are antis? Or do you just assume they must be antis because they ship klance?

I guess i just thought the whole point of this was that no one should be made to feel infirior or wrong or like a bad person because of what they ship. Wether it be a shaladin ship, a pidge ship, or klance.

Let's be good, respectable people

Yo I don’t post like at all, but I gotta say all this complaining about other people’s art and writing and ships and crap is getting a little crazy. Listen, there is nothing you can do to stop people from liking certain ships or writing certain fanfics. For instance, I know many of you hate when people make the team against Lance and crap, but like no-one is forcing you to read it? Obviously there are people who like it still, so just don’t read it?? Plus, everyone is going to make mistakes, the team, and Lance are going to make mistakes if we want to look at this in a realistic way. But we shouldn’t even have to, okay? It’s a fricken cartoon, we all enjoy certain aspects of it. I love the voltron fandom because of how they take these amazing characters and create these amazing stories and au’s for them, and I love it! I don’t care what you ship, I just don’t care! I know what I like and I’m cool if you like something different! If you like to make Lance cry and go through angsty stuff, great! If you like Klance, awesome! If you like some Sheith or Shallura, that’s cool! Y'all just need to chill out, if you don’t like it, don’t look at it! It’s that simple! You don’t need to go tear these people up, just because they are writing or drawing something you don’t personally like. If you are open and accepting to everyone and their ships, my respect for you goes up about 100%. Everyone has their different reasons of why something is okay or isn’t, and that’s never going to change. So let’s all just accept that we are different with our own opinions and enjoy Voltron. We all have that in common and we need to start respecting each other as people.
