🔹 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.

This! There’s a good few things in the HL fandom that I really don’t enjoy, and they’re extremely popular, but I’d NEVER have the nerve to dictate what someone else writes about or enjoys just because it doesn’t gel with my hc’s or whatever. I just mute the relevant tags and get on with my day. I’m certain there’s plenty of people who don’t like what I write, and thats fine! I’m not gonna cater to anyone, so why should anyone cater to me?

Love and support everyone who takes the time out of their day to create something magical for you to enjoy for free. Just don’t yuck their yum. Mute and move on.

Always be kind to each other 💕
