Can anyone help me figure out how to get back to the fun fanart and theories and headcanons side of sjm tumblr and off of the ship war side?
Like if you don’t like it, that’s what AO3 and fanfic is for. It’s like a multiverse. Respect other people and their feelings on imaginary characters and have your own and share them. They can be different. They’re imaginary. That’s how the multiverse works.
In your preferred universe, one ship is more likely. That’s fine.
Other people have different imaginations regarding imaginary people sjm created and has barely shown to us. That's great! That means that people exist and can take story-starters and imagine a future using it as a starting point. They still belong to sjm, so her thoughts win out, and we have not been told what they are yet, but you can have whatever thoughts you want and go ham on AO3 or whatever platform you use.
I have my own assumptions, but I still enjoy fanfics by people with different ships and love reading their fanfics, so i like following both sides, but my feed is just hateful insults and debates.
I appreciate that we all love this author and her work so much but why hate on others in the SAME COMMUNITY? It feels like an endless state of that episode of friends when Ross is fighting with Carol's wife about Ben and Phoebe is like "this kid is so lucky. It's not even born yet and it has three parents fighting over who gets to love him the most."
Everyone is fighting over who gets to be right because they love the books and thats great but do we have to lock everyone in a janitor's closet to work out their feelings before the release?
Also just any recommendations on what tags to follow and unfollow to get back to the appreciating, meme, and fan art section would be nice. thanks
