I'm gonna say it.
It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.
That is a bonkers assumption to make.
I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.
I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.
"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.
"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.
This looks AWESOME!❤
She kinda reminds me of Fran's "evil" self...
Try the lady in kingdom au?
"Fictional children cannot consent"
Nothing fictional can consent to shit, because that would require them to be.. Let me say this in the nicest way possible. Be real, living, breathing human beings with thoughts of their own.
Being into commentary YouTube as a proshipper is so funny because it’s like oh this person is cool and I agree with most of what they say! Oh wait, you viscerally hate me and others like me for no reason and are wildly misinformed on who we are and didn’t bother to do research other than take sources from antis? Okay nevermind lol
These characters are a lot of fun to animate. (Storyboards by @kaleidraws)
You don't have to apologize, or perform authorial disgust, for dark, violent, sexual, cruel or problematic topics in the fiction you create.
Fiction does not exist to teach an audience a moral lesson. You as an author are not required to be your audience's moral teacher.
You can have bad things happen-- you can have a protagonist who is bad-- without having to explain to your audience that they are bad.
Pro-kink means pro-pedophile pro-incest and pro-rape! Remember!

How do you play the Naughty dog Crash games and think Cortex is straight???
“He never got laid, but ever since highschool he was living with his male best friend, N.Brio”

Still frames below the cut ❁
thought I'd give bright neon colors a try. It was fun but I think I'll be sticking to pastels
I was just thinking about how important it is to have authors (both fan and professional) with whom I feel... safely unsafe, if that makes sense.
Like, this is going to hurt, there are going to be things that happen to these characters that I absolutely Do Not Want to happen, but I trust you and I trust this ride.
