Girl What Happened To Just Creating Fanwork To Satisfy Your Needs

I decided this needed its own post, so--

Here's some context for ""The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author."

and

"Your personal interpretation of the content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of it's author." 

You can't say, "Well it's okay to judge the morality of an author based on their fiction if you're correctly interpreting that fiction."

Because, my friend, every person who interprets a piece of fiction believes that their interpretation is the correct one.

The tumblr user who recently posted believing that Hayao Miyazaki had nationalist beliefs and made movies that supported fascism believed that their interpretation was correct, and judged Miyazaki's morals based on that assumption.

The people who think Nabokov wrote Lolita as an endorsement of child abuse rather than a work of fiction against child abuse believe that their interpretation is correct, and judge the author based on that assumption.

The moment you allow yourself to judge an author's morals based on your assessment and interpretation of their fiction–

➡️ you are opening yourself up to falsely judging victims who were writing about the abuse and injustice they suffered or witnessed, because you falsely believed you were supposed to root for the abuser.

➡️ you are opening yourself up to falsely judging people who were writing about the horribleness of crime and abuse, and injustice who fumbled the message or didn't portray it in a way that is clear enough for you.

Unless and until an author comes out and tells you why they wrote a certain thing a certain way, you cannot know for certain why they wrote it. You cannot judge their moral intent.

If someone writes a horrible dystopia and then in an author's note says "I wrote this because I think this is the world we should live in and aspire to you" please, please judge them.

If someone writes a book about child abuse and gives an interview where they say "I believe that this is the way we should treat children, this is good and just" please, please judge them.

But you can't know. You can't believe that you know.

You have to judge people on their actions in the real world and their words that they say they believe, not the fiction that they create.

i want to do an experiment

proshippers who aren't scared or uncomfortable with reblogging posts made by other proshippers and being openly proship, reblog this post

proshippers who are secretly or just quietly proship and are scared or uncomfortable reblogging posts made by other proshippers, but are fine with liking posts, like this post

proshippers who hide being or even like about being proship and won't like or reblog posts from other proshippers ever because they don't want their username out there on proshipper's posts, click the pole option below that best suits you (this is completely anonymous by the way, even to me)

i want to get an idea of just how many proshippers there are, and what percentage is freely open about being proship, is just secretive, or is hiding that they're proship

also, proship adjacent people, such as comshippers, anti antis, dead dove club members, freedom of expression fighters, anti harassment folks, etcetera, feel free to partake!

k but pro shippers are actually pros at shipping

due to an increase in amount of ridiculous people who refuse to take accountability for own online experiences, don't understand digital viewing/browsing consent, can't handle being blocked, and will whine and complain about being upset or having their consent violated, here are some free to use/steal banners to slap in your pinned posts, the tops of your fics, above your artworks, etcetera, so these boring boo's have one less thing to cry about ^_^

"dni if you engage with irredeemable media! dni to kill a mockingbird stans" ok well CLEARLY you have never read to kill a mockingbird if you think it's irredeemable media and also having a book that was published in 1960 on your dni stan list is kinda ridiculous actually

A good dad will never give his child in offense.

A younger version of Clara and Mia. A photo taken after they were sewed together. I couldn’t decide if it was better with Clara having tears or not so I put here both versions. Hope you like it!

I really wanted to draw the teacher in this position. Hope you like it❤
