no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

do we think Darry still soothes himself to sleep some nights by dreamin about the day Pony's grown 'n off to college? Soda's taken care of? By picturin' the life he could have? without the burden of playin dad for two kids he loves but never asked to raise? do we think he cries when he feels that selfish relief?

mini yap but i think the big thing about the censorship discussions is that to a lot of people, they seem really hypothetical and conceptual. like some distant far aware threat but really you can't open a comment section about snape/regulus/barty/DE characters on tiktok without seeing at least three comments calling the creator a facist or a nazi sympathiser. no grey space, no understanding, no critical thought just "snape post? you're a massive racist facist"

and of course, there's personal preference! you can say you don't want to engage with these characters,,, but censorship isn't some far away monster - it's already here.

it isn't just incest or teacher/student or any of the other things people complain about, it's all these smaller examples of you not being able to separate fiction from reality and immediately assuming that those engaging with this content are idiots who also can't do this separation.

we also have this same movement against period-typical attitudes. where a marauders fic writer will include misogyny in their fic set in the 70s, and their ask box/comments will be flooded with people saying they hate women and that the text was so misogynistic. "this line was so misogynisti-" it was meant to be. that's why the period-typical attitudes tag is there.

i beggeth you to understand how important these talks are??? like yes, we're writing about wizards but if you ignore that and break it down to the crux of the issue: you are saying that we are awful people for writing and engaging with these things, whilst books like the handmaid's tale and 1984 are pulled off of shelves. you are saying that these things shouldn't be in literature. something that has always been and will always be political, and you don't think the political things should be in it? in a time where these are on the rise and our education of them is being restricted?

we Need to be able to write about these things. politically and historically, we NEED to be able to write about these things, we need to be able to write about discrimination. about hierarchies, about awful morals and hideous acts. that's irrefutable - we need that evidence and that exploration and that critical analysis of society.

and you need to be able to separate fiction from reality. because censorship isn't some metaphorical threat, it's here and you can get on your moral high horse and say it's just the "really bad things" you want gone, but (1) no one is every going to agree because there's no universal morality or legality and (2) it's not just that. and it never will be.

you are in a queer space, i beggeth you to understand censorship will find its way back to your ships, no matter how "morally right" you feel for starting these talks.

Magic Knight Rayearth accuracy: 100%

This whole scenario is fascinating to me from Sakura's point of view, especially since she retained her memories. I was initially wondering how she'd be feeling being in Hong Kong in particular, but now that I think about it there was nothing about Tsubasa that implied Syaoran was from Hong Kong, so wouldn't know! She doesn't know the Cardcaptor Sakura side of things! She wouldn't know who she's about to meet!

But even that aside I can only imagine what it was like growing up in Japan with her memories from Tsubasa. Knowing she has a life with Syaoran ahead of her but not knowing when that begins. Getting to live a nice and happy life knowing that all the hard part of fighting for the universe is over. And also like, meeting Hikaru and remembering that she had to fight a robot based off of her in Infinity that one time.

Is her father Fujitaka in this world too? Is that weird for her, remembering him as Syaoran's father? Or is it switched in this world and Syaoran has Fujitaka here too? There's just so much AU to explore and I'm sure we'll only get the tiniest taste of it.

posted this on twt but god. i have talked a lot about how insane phi's character is to me but it's just. i will never get over how for most of both vlr and ztd she's relatively cold and unemotional but ztd has moments where she just. breaks. i.e. the shoot:live option of fire where she literally breaks down crying and can barely get a sentence out even BEFORE diana kills herself. or in the final decision when she fucking YELLS at delta and kicks him in the face not even out of reasons like with dio but out of sheer anger for everything he's put her though. like IDK. i fold easily for the "unemotional character is pushed to their breaking point and shows MUCH more emotion than usual" trope but its so fucking interesting. phi i love you we will get you therapy
