Burn Butcher Burn is the song for everyone who had a strangely close same-sex friendship before the age of 21 which ended in a huge falling out that went kind of like a breakup except it's annoying that you don't get to call it a breakup because you were in an almost-relationship and even though they're technically just an ex-friend they feel more like an ex than some of your actual exes

Thesis: the rise of fanwank and anti culture correlates directly with diminished understanding of what “romantic”, in a literary sense, actually means.

It doesn’t mean “this is ideal or healthy or even realistic”. It means “this is beautiful, this is tragic, this is grotesque, this stirs emotion”, even if it’s not, as @starryroom puts it, something you would be comfortable seeing play out in front of you at Taco Bell. It’s about grandiosity and mythology and heroism writ large. It’s about playing with the id, as beautiful and terrible as it can be.

fandom doesn't exist in a vacuum and fanfiction absolutely does impact reality. i'm anti-censorship but it's absurd to pretend that fanfiction has no impact on real life.

See, I can see where you’re confused here. Fanfiction does not, in fact, impact reality. It never has, and unless there is a huge and drastic change in our society and the way it functions, fanfiction will continue to not have any real or noticeable impact on reality. This is due to the fact that society as a whole does not engage with fanfiction and we certainly aren’t looking to it to decide our morality or how we should live our lives.

It is true that fiction can sometimes have an impact on reality. I am not arguing that. But the difference here is that fiction does not mean what you think it means. Fiction that impacts reality is not darkfic or clonecest or whatever else you personally find objectionable because you don’t like it for some reason. The kind of fiction that affects reality is the kind of stuff that is sanctioned by the government or religious organizations. It’s the baseless stereotypes about POC and other marginalized groups that are rude and actively harmful. It’s stuff that most of typically white society believes and then bases their actual real life opinions, actions, and words on.

Someone writing a fic about two clones who do not exist having romantic or sexual feelings for each other does not, has never, and will never impact the world the way you think it will. No one is going to read that and come away with the impression that incest is acceptable in their real life.

And if fanfiction does affect your reality in some way, you should not be engaging with it. It says a hell of a lot more about you than it ever will about the people who created the content in the first place. To me, it says you aren’t able to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and that’s something you need to work on. Not something other people need to worry about for you.

So if you’re still here, I encourage you to live your best and happiest, healthiest life by only worrying about your own self and leaving others alone to live their lives as they see fit. If you can’t do that, learn how to use the block function, and ask yourself if you should even be engaging with fanfiction and fandom at all.

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

Now I’m crying thanks

and a new cat was hired right?

clarenecessities

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

she works very hard

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

sighinastorm

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

bemusedlybespectacled

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

kindaoffkilter

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
