a few minutes ago, at exactly midnight, i heard soft distant honking and looked out the cracked window to see a group of trumpeter swans flying low over the fields, huge and white and unearthly, their shadows flung crisp-black onto glittering snow by the moonlight, and then they were gone and a moment later their voices were gone too and in the wake of them was a sort of loneliness that is hard to quite get words around

I'm seeing a lot of "ugh, so we can't even criticize fic authors anymore?" posts popping up on here and the ao3 subreddit and I just want to say, for the record: No one's saying you can't criticize (fanfic) authors publicly. They're saying it's rude and antithetical to positive fandom experience. And, yes there's a difference.

If this website was a conference and I had just spent a whole afternoon listening to a presentation on [unpopular fic trope] and after that was done, I got up on stage and very publicly told the audience that [unpopular fic trope] was illogical and anyone who writes it is woefully misinformed and should be banned from writing [relevant character], that would in fact be a dick move.

"But the canon character would never--" it doesn't matter. You're shouting down the hall at the person who just happily did a whole seminar on their OOC version of that character. "But I don't like that the author chose to make them--" good, you're well-acquainted with your likes and dislikes, time to find another fic.

We all run into fics and interpretations we don't like. But there's a huge difference between loudly talking about it on Tumblr where the author can see it, and just venting in a private discord or other group. Also, gentle reminder that this is a hobby for most writers and something they do purely because they enjoy it. Stop being massive dicks just because you feel entitled to a certain flavor of fanfiction you will probably be chasing until the Reformation of Krypton.

why is the symbol of the transmasc the chest scars while the symbol of the transfem is like. transmisogynistic stereotypes ?? i have a big scar across the top of my forehead from ffs and i’ve never seen that represented in any kind of “queer art” ever not even once. it’s so interesting to me what iconographies come to be associated with different trans people. like we’ll get a trans woman and you can tell she’s trans bc she’s got stubble or an adam’s apple (which are both still lovely traits but) which suggest some level of “pre-transition” (whatever that means) whereas men are always indicated to be trans by signifiers of post transition (whatever that means) like scars and body hair. julia serano’s argument about the media depicting trans women as “in the act” comes to mind, reminding us that showing trans women as in the process of transition or in the process of “becoming” feminine (eg putting on makeup) works to suggest that trans femininity is an act or a performance. by contrast i take it that depictions of trans masculinity as almost always “post” transition reiterates the idea of masculinity as a natural state of being. if that makes sense
