I love, love, LOVE it when I can tell a fic author has integrated their specialized knowledge in a fic. I was reading a fic that at some point included the character going to visit an art therapist, and it's so clear that the author is an art therapist themself, and the details included are just immaculate and I love it. I've previously read about a character doing fencing for no other reason than the author clearly wanting to write a sport they understood. A character being given a hyperfixation on bugs just so the author can infodump themselves.
I eat it up every time, it brings such a smile to my face
Ship what you like and write what you like, just make sure you tag it so it doesn't end up triggering someone who didn't want to see that. It's been proven time and time again now in studies that fictional fantasies are not indicative of a person's real life morals, but you know what is? Lacking the empathy in understanding and acknowledging that your views are not universal and just because you are okay with something, does not mean everyone is and wants to see it. There's a difference between censorship and content warnings. Censorship is far too easily weaponised at the life threatening expense of minorities and other vulnerable groups. Content warnings/tags are not censorship, it's the only way people, in real life or in fandom spaces, can safely exist in a world where censorship is rightfully rejected. Asking for common decency is not ship hate.
"My thing is not your thing" goes both ways. Anti-censorship and content warnings go hand in hand, they're essential to one another. Warnings are not an attack.
Tony, angry for no reason: Nobody talk to me, I'm fucking angry!
Peter, pouting: Not even me?
Tony, frowning: No, of course not, why would you say that? You can always talk to me.
Tony, still angry: I'm still angry so no one is allowed to talk to me!
Tony, turning to Peter, using his soft tone: Except you, Tesoro. I love you. I love talking to you.
My brother came to me with this idea so of course I had to draw it
I love being an artist so much❤️
bakugo pushing izuku away for quite literally a decade, only to be the one to chase after izuku inhis mid 20s this is so. they're best friends now but there is an invisible wall that separates izuku from everyone else and bakugo just has to live with the fact that he deprived them of 10 years of friendship. because he was insecure & scared.
26yo, Brazilian. Back to this site after years, still getting the hang of it and feeling old. (I multiship; It may not be of your liking.) She/Her 🩷💜🩵
