I’m gonna go on a ramble for a sec and yous can tell me if I’m just being an overthinking writer slash literature nerd who’s looking too deep into things and needs to take a moment to breath or not (and yes this is about the delancey’s again I’m hyperfixated I Cannot Help It). basic point is something that bothers me is getting at people for being an ‘apologist’ without considering the perspective of the content. like obviously if they’re just outright excusing every action when talking about them then that’s a big no BUT (this particularly/almost solely goes for art and writing over general discussion) unreliable narration is going to be really prevalent here. a fic set from morris’ perspective is going to put him and oscar in a better light than the newsies, a list of hcs relating to oscar will do the same, or paint the newsies in a much worse way. purely because it’s from their perspective so the narrative will be a different side of the story from a third/first person but still direct view. which is something that’s incredibly fun and interesting to explore, but it doesn’t automatically mean the creators views align with the content they’re making (unless it’s clearly stated which is a different case). I can say as a writer who’s been posting work consistently for 6 years that constant disclaimers on stuff are exhausting and easy to forget - sometimes you just wanna get that shit out there - but the thing about being a writer/anyone who forms headcanons the way we do on here is that exploration of reasoning AND perspective. unreliable narration is the best example of this, and it’s something to think about with this whole thing I suppose. or maybe I’m looking too deep idk, I just like talking about my thoughts this was partially just self indulgence

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’

this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

fuck it since my birthday is in like one day i'm gonna use my birthday wish to tell y'all to look at the shit going on in southern Appalachia right now after Hurricane Helene. look at it and talk about it and spread resources about it like wildfire because nobody else fucking is and it feels like we're on our own out here.

there are people who are stranded in hazardous areas that are still safer than trying to leave by driving on the increasingly hazardous roads. i'm personally going into my third day without electricity at this point, and haven't been able to get any gas for a generator to even keep our fridge working. there are very few places with power or running water, and cell service has just barely been restored in the last hour. ground crews are working hard to repair things, but there are many, many areas that are entirely inaccessible that may not receive these fixes for several more days if not weeks. i'm afraid my own neighborhood might become one of those areas if repairs don't get to us soon, and since we're much more rural i have a difficult time trying to be optimistic about it.

we're very far inland. i guarantee you damn near everybody here was expecting a little more rain and wind like we usually get during hurricane season, if they even heard about the hurricane beforehand in the first place since most people only got about a twelve hour notice before landfall- after several major areas had already been flooded. our terrain protects us from most major weather events- most locals have never encountered a single tornado or legitimate tornado warning in our entire lives. nobody i've talked to or heard from about it seems to have had any idea that it would be this bad. everybody's wishing that they took it more seriously, but we've never, ever had to before. i've seen people comparing it to Hurricane Katrina and honestly i'm not sure if that's all too inaccurate. today while looking for a single working gas station i drove by a military helicopter parked in front of the elementary school i went to when i was little.

please for the love of god, talk about us. talk about the good memories you had here or the beauty of our mountains, and talk about how devastated we are as we watch historic structures, buildings, and entire towns get wiped from the face of the earth like they were never even there. stop dismissing us as uneducated hicks and rednecks and hilllbillies and fucking help us.
