IT IS COMPLEEEETTTEEE

I know I said I probably won't be making this into a print but. I'll scan it thru anyways and if it doesn't cause massive complications on the digital cleanup I'll reconsider releasing it as a print in november

#my love i don’t know how to break it to you#but he says ALL points not tall points#there is a glaring typo in your beautiful calligraphy i’m sorry

eh it happens all the time and honestly with shitpost pieces it kinda goes with the vibe if there 's a small spelling mistake or two.

Like the reason that the "my" is white text against black ink is that I accidentally smeared the hell out of the black ink there and decided to make it an aesthetic choice, so if @that-one-binch would prefer it to say "All" rather than "Tall" I can patch it with a matching white ink on black blotch effect. If it's a non shitpost piece, I have a handful of patching techniques and fixes that are way more invisible.

But i WILL say that on this specific front, copypastatext.com did me dirty:

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

nope-the-weeb-deactivated202408

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

prof-grace-aspen

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

There was this dude who wrote some works with extremely dark and brutal violence, including one where a young woman is sexually assaulted, and has her hands cut off and tongue cut out so she can't report it to anyone. Eventually she is able to tell her dad, and her dad murders the perpetrators and feeds them to their own mother before killing her, too.

Same dude also wrote about a lady whose twin brother appears to be dead, so she assumes his identity. Another lady falls in love with her while she's pretending to be her brother... but oh, no, while she's pretending to be her brother, she falls in love with some other guy! Whatever is she to do????

"how you treat [characters], even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there". What do these two things tell us, exactly, about William Shakespeare's own character? What does the very breadth of the human experience that he wrote about--from Titus Andronicus and Macbeth to Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream--say about him as a person?

My personal answer to that is... nothing. I don't think they make him bad. I don't think they make him good. I don't think the people who wrote My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are saints while, well, let's go whole hog: George RR Martin and everyone else involved in writing Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are all absolute monsters. The folks at Nintendo cannot all be assumed to be comprised of sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows (because of Mario, let's not get started on how fucked up things can get with Zelda) compared to the teams at Larian Studios (Baldur's Gate III) and BioWare (Dragon Age, Mass Effect).

Professional writers--for movies, TV, games, books, the stage--have written absolutely heinous and horrendous things happening to, and committed by, their characters. Maybe you think that's wrong. Maybe the fact that George Lucas, Leigh Brackett, and Lawrence Kasdan were capable of writing what happened to Anakin Skywalker and what he subsequently did as Darth Vader makes them monsters, whether or not they also wrote everything else that happened in Star Wars.

Or do the professionals get a pass because... reasons... while fan writers don't? Is it because they're someone else's characters and those characters are sacred and precious somehow so we can't make them do bad things or have bad things happen to them because they don't belong to us? Is that it?

This discourse is exhausting.
