( No Title )
Hey friendly reminder that fictives are real. They are real people, they exist, they have feelings and aren’t just the blorbo from your shows or the character you have a crush on. Please do not open conversations with fictives by saying you find *insert character they are* hot. Especially if that is your first ever interaction with them.
And especially if you say the character’s name when you’re talking to them. Because that just comes across like you don’t think they’re actually real.
All of this is so important. To reiterate:
Please do not treat fictives like they are fictional characters.
Fictional characters aren’t real and you can treat them however you want in fiction and fandom spaces.
But don’t treat specific fictives that you meet online like they’re their fictional counterpart.
