Yes, and also - There is nothing stopping a writer from creating something in private and enjoying it for themselves or with a few close friends.

- Publishing a work on a public site means that it might get a response, be it positive or negative. This response may sometimes be unexpected or unwished for.

🔹 Someone else's fiction cannot cause you physical harm.

🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.

🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.

🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.

🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.

🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.

🔹Don't like? Don't read.

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

I grew up reading Calvin & Hobbes, and one of my favorite running jokes was the snowmen that Calvin would build.

Excuse you. Jurassic Park is from 1993. Interview with the Vampire from 1994 - both have an insane amount of animatronics. And sure, the budget was higher, but what about Farscape? The technology sure as hell existed.
