spoilers for my current WIP Blind Bill AU drabble:

Ford was the same. Sure, maybe a little older, a little grayer than he last saw him but- Bill shrieked. “WHAT is THAT?” Fez betrayed him! How could he not mention, not even once, in the months he’d been here, that Ford grew a BEARD!!! Bill pinched his arm repeatedly. “Wake up, wake UP…” “Bill! Stop that!” Ford said exasperated. “What are you going to do?” “Either kill Stanley or shave you, whichever comes first,” Bill said darkly. The arm pinches weren’t working… a horrible thought hit him. What if it wasn’t just Ford? Bill’s eye widened in panic. “Does Stan have a beard? Does Shooting Star? DOES PINE TREE?” He could not deal with a fully furred Dipper. It was too horrific to contemplate. “No! Just me!” the scientist reassured. “Does it really look that bad?” Ford’s hand went self-consciously to his chin. “I thought it was… you know, rugged? For sea adventures?” “It’s… so different.” At most, Bill had only ever seen stubble, and that was after days of sleep-deprivation! Even running for his life across dimensions, Ford had always somehow found the time and equipment for a nice, clean-cut shave. “Is THAT why you smell weird?”

“You know what I smell like?”

“Of course I do!” Ford had always smelled faintly of brunt hair (he smelled like home).

See, there’s something permanent about impermanence after all. The memories we’re left with.

I still don't know why some Fallout fans are trying to decide which ending in New Vegas is canon. The show happens like 15 years later. Anything could have changed over the years.

It’s not always that they didn’t mean what they said .. it’s just that over time things change, feelings change, and the meanings to their words change .. and that’s just the painful truth ..

The issue with the Elain’s week made me think about fandom in general.

I’m not going to say those same things about censorship, tags, etc. But I wonder since when the need to question our own morality in shipping and having fun in fandoms (as long as you have respect for other people)? I’ve lot of experience on Tumblr and ao3 and this is the first time I see fictional characters treated like they were real life persons, or people being judged for their ships/likes.

I dont want to look down on people traumas and personal triggers, right now I can read almost anything but there’s been a time I was highly upset by suicide or the mention of it so I understand how triggers work on someone. That’s why, to live happily in a community, knowing how to block and filter tags is super important and tags and warnings are ALWAYS NECESSARY. But that’s not my point rn.

I’ve read posts saying that , for example, if there were content about Gwyn with her assaulters then people would go rage so it’s the same for Tamlin. And even if this example isnt even right and there’s no need I explain why… this kind of content probably exists yet I don’t see anyone raging. Fanfictions with Elain with all the Vanserras exist too and I’m not here to question the morality of these because I DON’T CARE, I just filter what I want to read and see.

I wonder if the group of people who state these things are even aware of how fandoms work. Or know why ao3 exists in the first place. Or never met tags like ‘dead dove do no eat’.

And yet the acotar fan contents are the less “bolder” I’ve even seen in my fandoms history.

I’m not writing this specifically because of Tamlin, but cause I hope this is not the start of a behaviour (not only in the acotar fandom but in others too) who will claim to protect victims when actually is just censoring and shaming for some people.

And I will end this post packed with grammatic errors saying this: I’ve had a problematic adolescence, I suffered some serious things and I’m very sensitive about mental illnesses/mental health, and when I was younger in those moments I felt alone the most, there wasn’t a place I felt more safe at than fandoms communities, with all their issues however there I felt the acceptance I couldn’t find irl.
