Since first I saw your face, this music has been singing to me of you and of - love triumphant! Yet listen - there sounds an ominous undercurrent of warning!

It really is crazy how if you mention you write fanfiction with people outside fandom, they're always like "you should change the names and try to sell it." It misses the point (fun), but more importantly to me, I get slightly (and I know irrationally) insulted on a craft level. Excuse me, my fanfic is entwined with the canon, thank you very much. I wish sometimes less entwined. You wouldn't believe the stupid bullshit some of my fics have to include because of canon.

really once you start getting bothered by how certain forms of violence are unreal to people you can’t stop. even stranger when they are not uncommon forms of violence, statistically. recently it’s been so grating how “stabbing” in fandom is used to be evocative of a kind of sexy, fun, “toxic” (but never abusive) violence by the same people who can’t deal with fannish interaction with rape as if they don’t come together frequently ie in domestic abuse and femicide. and of course it all sort of depending on this implicit impossibility that anyone reading your jokes about women erotically stabbing each other could have ever been stabbed. why is stabbing less bad? what is this hierarchy where it’s inherently less traumatizing to survive? why is it less bad when it’s a thing people often don’t survive? why is it “safe”?
