I just don't think the whole bureaucracy thing makes sense for Heaven and Hell. Like why does it even exist? They have free will, don't they? Angels and demons don't have to do any of that work, they have everything they need to live a full and happy life? Why do they even need to work and collect souls? I mean, why would any sane person willingly choose to take orders and work all day every day their entire lives? Why would they suffocate themselves in dank, dirty offices, and corporate, soulless buildings? Why would they torture and opress each other instead of agreeing on collective happiness? Why don't they just create a system where everyone is happy? Why would they put up with abusive and patronising authority figures? Why would-
...Oh.
Tony Stark: don't hug me parker we're not there
Tony Stark: *creates a suit for Peter Parker with over 500 web settings*
Tony Stark: *puts a tracker and recording devices into the suit so he can ensure Peter is safe constantly*
Tony Stark: *has requested updates on Peters life so he knows that Peter quit marching band six weeks ago*
Tony Stark: *listens to all the voice messages Peter leaves for Happy to the point that he knows Peter got a churro from a Dominican woman for giving her directions*
Tony Stark: *talks about his own father being distant and how he's trying to end the cycle when talking to Peter*
Tony Stark:
Tony Stark: also im not your dad so jot that down
at this point nothing we ever say will change opâs mind if they think that stripping anyone, regardless of status, off their basic human rights just because they break the law is justifiable.
when i made a point in the comments about how criminality is not absolute and can be manipulated to fit the agenda of whoever is capable of changing the law, therefore âcriminalsâ can include some of the most vunerable marginalized communities, thus taking basic rights away from âcriminalsâ could also mean taking away those rights from the people who need them the most, it just flew over their head and i got called a weirdo immediately.
honestly, itâs so frustrating to engage in good-faith arguments with people who resort to personal insults the moment they are disagreed with.

It is WILD that you say âselling drugs and engaging in gang turf war does not make you not a citizenâ as if that changes the fact that theyâre still CRIMES.
I mean, if your logic is that Zaun is technically part of Piltover and thus falls under Piltoverâs jurisdiction⊠committing a CRIME under their jurisdiction means you can suffer consequences from your actions. No? It doesnât MATTER if youâre a citizen or not. Being a citizen doesnât give you free rein to do whatever you want! You have to obey laws!
If Iâm a citizen of a city in America, and I do a crime, the police of that city are allowed to take away my rights as a citizen. Thatâs what being a citizen in a functional society MEANS!
actually there were 0 time travellers on the Titanic, because the time cops have an entire outpost to safeguard that one particular point in history. every rookie spends a least a month on Titanic duty and they all complain bitterly about it since it is, essentially, the time travel equivalent of being the guard who has to stop tourists from licking the Liberty Bell.
long time no see)
bananas shirt bc my friend said his nantucket looks like a banana
A few more things:
- If you donât like something, keep it to yourself or your private group chats. You may feel the urge to critique someoneâs art, review someoneâs fanfics or disagree with how a character is portrayed in creative fanworks, but unless the creator states otherwise, any criticism - even constructive - is unsolicited and rude.
It is encouraged that we consume media critically - media literacy is important if we want meaningful thoughts-nurturing conversations. That being said, we donât criticize creators of non-monetized fanworks for depicting topics deemed âproblematicâ. Fandom and its creative force are not to be held to the same standards as published authors and studios behind the piece of media that birthed them.
- You donât have to like a ship and you are well within your right to critique it, but do not under any circumstances post a critcism of a ship under the ship tag. Thatâs what anti-ship tags are for.
If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.
If you arenât able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.
Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.
The First Law of Fandom
Donât Like; Donât Read (DL;DR)
It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone elseâs place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.
There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.
The Second Law of Fandom
Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)
Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. Itâs not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. Itâs not up to you to police fandom.Â
If you donât like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking. Â
But you have no right to say to any creator âI do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.â
Itâs not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. Thatâs censorship. Donât do it.
The Third Law of Fandom
Ship And Let Ship (SALS)
Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.
Itâs not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.
You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.
It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.
These three laws add up to the following:
You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasnât to your taste. Thatâs the height of bad manners.
Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.
