smolsarcasticraspberry: hey asking for a friend but uh. whatâs it gonna take for fandom to relearn the difference between âcanonâ and âword of godâ? â canon = the text itself; the show/movie/book/comic; the actual up-on-Netflix content; anything a casual fan would reasonably[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Like 85% of my ships are gay ships. I promise you I don’t have some kind of agenda when I tell you no, the source material doesn’t actually have any canonical gay people in it.
bearly-holding-on: I don’t enjoy being a hater openly but I am so sick of pants in redesigns. And so many come with captions making unnecessary digs at the mere existence of skirts. I’m so tired. I’m so sick and tired.
I love AO3’s tag system, don’t get me wrong. But I miss 2 things from ffnet. I miss being able to designate and search for a main character, and main ship, and I miss being able to designate and search[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
xtine-daae: celciusdiscourse: augustdementhe: funereal-disease: Thesis: the rise of fanwank and anti culture correlates directly with diminished understanding of what âromanticâ, in a literary sense, actually means.

Hey friend! <3 your question is long, but my answer is simple. It’s always okay to change the details of a character’s canon in fanfiction. This doesn’t change, whether you’re making them a vampire, forcing them to work at a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Yeah, anon that is the actual problem. There’s nothing wrong with headcanons– it’s pushing them on other people who don’t share them and treating them like they’re canon, and treating people who don’t share popular headcanons like they’re scum that’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

kyliafanfiction: I ship the ship because I think it makes for a more interesting story. You ship the ship because you thing A is the only one worth of B and that they’re ‘soulmates’. We are Not The Same.

“But why does it matter if they’re attracted to more than one gender– they’re already partnered with (character)!” Ya’ll are so fuckin’ monogamous.
“how can you headcanon that character as bisexual– they’re so obviously gay!” Easy; I don’t believe that what a person acts like or dresses like, or their mannerisms or habits of speech correlates to who they’re attracted to. A character[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I hate their source material. I hate their creator. I hate their canon characterization. I try not to think about them. But when I’m reminded of them, I still get the impulse to grab them and rescue them. đ
despair-nagito: Friendly reminder Just because a character has a canon partner, it doesn’t mean they can’t be shipped with someone else. Sucks that people need to be reminded of this (and they do).

I think people started putting “minors DNI” in their blogs because “OMG you post NSFW content on your blog and yet you have minors following you!!!” was used as ammo in callout posts to drag people’s reputations through the mud.

Its not for them. They’ll never change their minds. You don’t argue in public to convince your enemy who is set in their ways. You argue to convince the audience who hasn’t yet come to a decision.
