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.
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.
Practicing lighting. I again forgot to post this art of mine here.
"You're finally seeing beyond your own desires... You are becoming one with everything"
I always forget to post my art at other places and not just on Instagram, damn it! Anyways, have a Fran transforming into her Itherstanise self.

Since the frog theme I made earlier was light mode, I decided to make a dark mode skin as well. This one is galaxy-themed and in shades of purple, pink, and blue.
You can get the code and instructions for how to use it here.
the origins of the “what are you two FUCKING talking about??” meme is almost funnier then the meme itself
You can use all the non-accusatory or "compassionate" language you want, but folks can tell when your "Seek help" comes from your negative or lesser perceptions of them. They can tell when you say "Get Therapy" that you, on the other side of the screen, wish they would keep their weird or uncomfortable identities private, wish they thought lesser of themselves so you would not have to be made uncomfortable by someone else's pride or acceptance of themselves.
They can tell.
