When I started this tumblr I made the private decision to only post about my fics and nothing else. I said it would be the one space where I’d be “selfish,” the one place where it’ll be about the joy of my hobby and nothing else.
But over the past few days, I’ve watched trans creators who thought they were safe in this fandom come to the stark and heartbreaking realization that they’re not. And that’s emblematic of so many marginalized groups realizing that the thin veneer of safety that they thought they had in the world is being ripped apart at a terrifying pace.
Fanfic, at its best, is an anticapitalist, anti conformist, transformative, radically accepting, and imaginative art form, but that’s only true if the people within it are equally committed to that ethos and each other.
In other words, practice what you preach and don’t be an asshole.
they pursued careers fully depending on passion, which made them have to lose the passion for each other-

Okay. Denji’s Pov in “All circuits are busy” and why it’s written like that. Let’s talk about it:
I’ve gotten a (small but significant) amount of comments/ asks, telling me how refreshing it is to have Denji’s pov be very fast paced and wordy because it is a show of perceptiveness, if not intelligence.
And while it makes me incredibly happy that people appreciate it, it also makes me sad that not more characterisations of Denji are like that.
Because listen. Characterisation is a free real estate in fandoms you can do whatever you please, always. But when you have a character who is canonically illiterate and you decide to make them dumber than a door….it’s telling. And it’s not telling nice things.
I’m not saying Denji is an underrated genius, but he doesn’t have to be. Most of the characters in chainsaw man are of simply average intelligence, and that’s the point. At their core, they are your average run of the mill human that’s struggling to find the place in the world. Not every character has to either be a genius or downright worm-brained. There’s a middle ground. Step on it I beg of you
Yes, Denji is gullible and a bad liar and can’t read/write. He is also the fastest learner in the manga, incredibly perceptive, has the most emotional intelligence out of all the cast, and could fucking do advanced math to calculate his debt at age 10.
One of the main points of Chainsaw Man is “don’t underestimate the illiterate teenager.” Did we not read the same story? Characters fall into this trap time and time and time again, and Denji makes them eat dirt for it. So why, pray tell, do people keep underestimating the illiterate teenager???
Also I like my povs to reek of a bit of autism.
Thank you if you read through this garbage fire of frustration.
