THE ONLY SHIP THAT IS BAD IS CENSORSHIP
when your mutual reblogs something with a full page of tags its like. girl (gender neutral) i am filling my mug with coffee and reading this like the morning paper. i am so interested in your thoughts on this post. i love you.
modern Hickey, i will be taking no questions
Crozier promoting Jopson is so fascinating because "someone above me in the naval hierarchy sees how special I am and how much I deserve a higher position and elevates me, despite the fact I was born into a class of people who are not supposed to rise that far" is not what Jopson wants at all - that's what Crozier set out on the expedition wanting to experience himself!
#all the tags on this are GREAT#crozier projects his desire to be recognized by someone of higher rank and elevated onto jopson who does not want this.#yet simultaneously hates hickey for the same thing.#something something madonna whore complex lol tags via @sorcova
in my opinion, the question isn't "Is RPF ethical?" but rather "Are you engaging with RPF ethically?" and even more importantly, "Are you being stupid about it?"
I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.
Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.
The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.
I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.
But just have some basic decency and do not involve the real people. Don't cross the line without caring how it affects them. This is basic fandom 101 and lately we have been flying too close to the damn sun! Everyone get more normal about RPF so major news outlets and magazines stop posting articles about "Is RPF ethical?" and blowing up our spot!
One of the most pernicious illusions the internet creates is that things need to reach a large number of people quickly in order to matter. The opposite is true. Culture is created through social connections - and stable social connections are built slowly. New subcultures and art styles need to move at a slow and stable rate of growth, or they’ll collapse under their own weight before they reach full maturity.

"I want my media to be historically accurate"
Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?
Oh, you mean you want 100% white people. Even in crowd scenes in port cities. There's a different word for that.
Re: Jopson's fanon lashed-for-drunkenness backstory... thinking of it in the context of Crozier's "I might beg you" line. Like. Jopson who isn't just resentful of the double standard, but derives grim satisfaction from actually having Crozier beg him for another drop? Jopson who follows the doctor's instructions perfectly because he is protected by their authority from Crozier's wrath, stays motherly to be on the safe side anyway, never acts openly cruel - except sometimes there's this dark glint in his eye when another of his beloved captain's curses ends in a sob.

Stained glass window in St Mary’s Church, Banbury - Pictured here is HMS Terror stuck in the ice. The image was taken from the Arctic reports and notebook of Admiral Sir George Back during his Arctic expedition in 1836. It was commissioned by Henry Back, the admiral’s brother and vicar of the church in c. 1860.
