there is something fundamentally strange about demanding that transformative fiction function as an exercise in perfect canon replication. fanfic is by definition interested in possibility. it takes characters out of the fixed circumstances of the source material and asks what they might become under different pressures, in different relationships, with different experiences, or simply through a different author’s understanding of them. sometimes the entire premise is “what would have to happen for this character to behave in a way they never did in canon?” and like that is not necessarily a failure of characterization. sometimes that is the characterization. and obviously there are interpretations that feel more or less supported by the text. it is perfectly reasonable to argue that a fic has failed to make a particular choice psychologically convincing. but that is a wholly different argument from treating canon as a list of immutable behaviors and using “they wouldn’t do that” as a supposedly objective veto against any trope you dislike.

The thing that’s always missing from the “women didn’t fight for the right to work they were already working they fought to get paid” is that many women also very much wanted to work.

Women wanted to be lawyers and engineers and chemists. They wanted to use their brains in challenging and interesting ways. They wanted to get the satisfaction from solving problems and inventing new shit and getting attention for it.

I know not everyone is born with intellectual curiosity or drive or determination but some people are and many of those people are women.

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

Threw an empty plastic Easter egg at Tim for him to play with but he just... solemnly held onto it, thinking deeply about his newfound responsibility

hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time

ok another good point here

I hate ruminating on what could have been. Out here thinking "if only I locked in when I was 13" are we serious
