Dreamingofsomethingdifferent - Dreaming Of Something Different

Something I don't get about this hellsite:

When an actually well written piece of media has a main romance that has... conflict, the fandoms just decides to ignore them for those two that had like... two scenes (but zero conflict) and claim that that relationship should have been the focus or go all quirky 'uwu the writers want me so much to focus on Y but look how I'm liking X despite Y being the entire point of the story.'

But when it's actually a bad piece of media with a badly written boring relationship... The fandom goes on of how we have to Respect the Author and how the main relationship that is so Pure and Good™ is of course the focus of the story.

It's almost as if they just like boring, baseless relationships in which they can... Project.

No offense but the quote “The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.” from the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard is one of the strongest, most impactful, mind-blowing phrases I have ever heard and it’s become one my absolute favourite quotes of all time that is all thanks for your time

“There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.”

— Franz Kafka, Letters To Felice (via perfectquote)

ZUTARA + PARALLELS:

They circle each other in an eternal dance; they balance each other. Push and pull. Life and death. Good and evil. Yin and yang…

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.
