reading the comments in that “is RPF ok” poll is so fucking distressing, istg. the majority of comments seem to fall into “sure, it’s fine as long as it’s just fluff/not shippy/what they would do IRL” or “no that makes me uncomfortable so clearly it’s bad” with a side of “well if they consent, it’s fine.” which… i suspect that last one is a big piece of how we get people confronting celebrities with fic, which is actually not okay.

fan fiction has become too mainstream. it’s not meant to be something you talk about on The Voice, and you shouldn’t be reading fics on tik tok and hashtagging them so that millions and millions of people see them. because when that sort of thing happens, we get this push to sanitize everything - the RPF, the kink, the dark fic. this is the same fight as “there shouldn’t be kink at pride because uwu makes me uncomfy”. rpf, like all other fan fiction, is FICTION, and thus there are no moral lines in it about “well, it’s ok, but don’t write about them killing anyone” or “well, it’s fine, but don’t ship anyone underage.” y’all are the same as the book banners going to libraries and weeding out “objectionable” books, you’re just too caught up in “but it makes me feel weird” to realize it.

yes! some things will make you uncomfortable! that does not make them morally wrong. also! some things will seem fine to you, and still be morally bad. please, for the love of all things holy, go learn that.

Reminded again, as I periodically am, that there's a fair number of people in the fandom that think of Nott the Brave and Veth Brenatto as two different characters, and not fundamentally the same woman. In the absolute literal sense, this is false: Nott the Brave, returned to the body of her choice and using her real name once again, is absolutely precisely the same person she was before Caleb cast Transmogrification on her. This is, incidentally, one of her main sources of angst towards the end of the campaign! A part of Nott must have both feared (and, in some ways, hoped) that when she was changed back into a halfling, she would also be a different person. That the person she became traveling with the Nein would be an easy identity to shed, which she may have hoped for because it would be easier to fit herself back into her home life with Yeza and Luc--and because it would be easier to say goodbye to the Nein if that were the case. And she feared it because she liked this person she became, no matter how transgressive society would label her for it. And she loved the Nein and didn't want those feelings to be altered.

But she didn't change. Veth Brenatto is Nott the Brave and Nott the Brave is Veth Brenatto. This was always the point. That's why it's an anagram. It's just that when she's Veth Brenatto again, she is much more focused on the why of what she's doing. Why am I still with the Nein? Why am I still adventuring? Why do I have this reticence to return home to my family? Why don't I long for that quiet, domestic life the way I once did? Her emotional journey becomes intensely personal, sometimes subtly/quietly told, and wholly about what kind of future she wants for herself and how her choice could affect those around her. Her two families become anchor points pulling her in different directions and she has to deal with that. Which is a different story than what she was telling when she was still Nott the Brave. Nott's story was much simpler--I am a goblin and I hate it and I would like to be a halfling again. I would like to be able to be with my family again. It's straightforward and it's achieved! But that's not where it ends, because she still needs to figure out a real, functional future for herself once her goal has been achieved.

All this to say, I think when people say they prefer Nott over Veth, it's important to remember that you are reacting to a certain story arc for the character, not an entirely different character. It may also pay to ask yourselves why you think they're so different. Was "Nott" funnier than "Veth" to you? Does her ability to serve as comic relief fundamentally change whether you like her or not? Did you appreciate "Nott's" themes more than "Veth's"? Or did you even notice the themes being explored in Veth's later game at all?

Yk, I hate that adaptations keep making Peter a high schooler, and not just because it means he never evolves, but because the adaptations now also include wider Marvel, whitch usually (thanks to the MCU) is at the modern day stage with legacy characters and new age teen heroes, meaning that Peter is taking up Miles' spot and you can really tell when they put him next to someone like Kamala Khan or Sam Alexander who are Miles' pals. Tho Peter taking Miles' stuff is just a modern issue overall, just look at MCU whitch just stole and re-skinned Miles' personality, characters, story-beats, even the costume to an extent and then made it worse.

agree 👏

Ok but the concept of Alhaitham having an academic crush on Kaveh is so real to me. Yes Kaveh pretty and I like seeing a younger Haitham go "oh no he's beautiful", but tbh me thinks that he fell for Kaveh's mind first and foremost. Imagine like prior to their first meeting he read one of Kaveh's papers and he was just in love with the author's brain. He then starts reading some of Kaveh's other papers and he realizes that he either really agrees and likes them, or they're the complete opposite of what he believes and it just tickles his brain well. Flash forward to when he meets Kaveh for the first time in the library and he goes "oh no he's beautiful too"
