this is another thing i was thinking about that i haven’t seen many ppl even discuss like sonyas death was gruesome and horrifying yes but im seeing a lot of ppl using one of her final statements as her “seeing the devil in the cop” and while i can see why ppl would draw that conclusion it doesnt help with stereotypes agaisnt psychotic people, as a psychotic black person myself, she quite literally was just nonchalantly saying “id never do that!” and again like this tweeter is saying is why aave and black lingo being demonized or treated as a joke or taken from us and decontextualized is irritating at best and dangerous at worst, people automatically hearing aggression or being unable to detect humor when we talk has claimed lives and will continue to do so because nonblacks inherently see us as more of a threat for simple things like this

People who have never taken public transit before seem to be under the impression that everyone on a bus is ready to stab you meanwhile I have never had that problem and I get to read while I’m stuck in traffic and they don’t.

Also I don’t get stuck in traffic much anyways because the drivers keep going on the freeway even though it gets clogged up with traffic and it’s literally faster to drive on the surface streets where the busses go but whatever I don’t need to pay for a gym membership because I walk to the bus and meanwhile what are you spending your money on? Oil changes so you can keep getting stuck in traffic?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Am I spreading anti-car propaganda? Yes I am and yes I will forever because I don’t need to think about parking. I don’t have to pay for parking. I can just show up at a place and then leave without having to think about any of that. You wish you had it that good. I haven’t set foot in a parking garage in months.

The thing about fanfiction after writing original fiction for so long is that it feels like taking weighted clothes off. If I wanted a cool plot twist or a reveal or a mystery I had to set up all the expectations myself. I had to set up the red herrings, the clues, the boundaries of what was reasonable.

In fanfiction I drop a name from canon I never referenced before and it will carry the weight that a hundred pages of set up would carry in original fiction.

Do you have any fucking idea how intoxicating that is.

[abilusanji]

The shared language of a fandom in fanfiction is so amazingly conducive to a type of story telling that we lost when public domain was gutted as a legal concept. And it’s such a thrilling way to make stories and I weep for how rare it is to encounter.

Like you sort of get a ghoulish attempt with star wars style “look it’s revan” but it’s still only a handful of people who get to play. With fandom everyone gets to play with the full toolbox, with infinite chances to try.

It’s striking me really hard after reading this post–so much of what is considered the ~canon~ of western literature really arises out of this situation where everyone who wrote (i.e. a tiny minority of educated men and the very very rare educated woman) was operating with a common set of referents. There were just so few books, back then, and if you were educated enough to write, those were the books you had read, and that your teachers had read and told you about. Everyone got the same references.

We talk about the Divine Comedy being Bible fanfic and so forth, but it really was in a way we don’t always articulate–it wasn’t just that it was repurposing other stories the author had read. It was the product of an author who felt himself a part of a community that had this shared set of referents. He only had to allude to things, and his intended readers knew all of the context. Being in modern fandom allows us to be part of a community that likewise shares a canon and shares references and influences, something that is increasingly lost in modern copyrighted fiction where everyone is constantly desperate to be original.
