i gotta stop looking for clace fics it just makes me pissy π
i think one of the biggest damages to fandom spaces that social media (and the sort of instant gratification that it spawned) is that nuance is dying.
every fandom i enter (some to a worse degree than others i will admit) is just teeming with bad takes with no nuance. you can't acknowledge a good part of a character without being attacked for supporting someone who's done abc and suddenly being labeled an xyz apologist.
this leads to these dynamic and interesting characters being viewed only through a binary of right and wrong, which destroys the very things that make them feel real and human.
everyone is racing to be morally right in an age where awareness of social injustice is rising and as a result they're either forcing issues that aren't there to criticize a character or ripping them to shreds just to feel morally superior. in doing so not only are they ruining the stories and characters, but they're making these real world issues come off as frivolous and unimportant, when there are actual bodies of work that properly and intentionally explore them.
bloodmarked is for the breesel nation
the prologue being a whole section on its own is such a cool choice i love it
it's gonna take a fuck of a lot to make me forgive grace after she literally just sexually assaulted matthew
has anyone else ever noticed that whenever there's a character with anxiety or something similar they are ALWAYS infantilized by the fandom?
