"There's this village I read about in my guidebook, where the sun sets right between the mountains. So the whole countryside lights up like it's on fire."
Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer as Judith and Debbie in Ride or Die, Episode 3.
I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.
on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human
anyways remember when toni morrison said "sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it's not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances."
everyone say thank you toni morrison
Criminal Minds | 19.09 'Special Agent Garrity'
The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.
reblog to tell your mutual you’re proud of them and it’ll all work out

I've seen a bunch of "fandom etiquette" posts on my dash today and I'm going to say something that is maybe going to be unpopular but;
The absolutely pervasive mentality that unwanted criticism or critique shouldn't be given and should be ignored is why fans of color don't stay in fan spaces.
And I am not going to mince words here:
A lot of you are racist. A lot of your fan works are racist.
That might have been difficult to hear. And if it was, you should probably reflect on why that was.
"Fandom etiquette" has created a space where fans of color either bite our tongues and eventually leave or say something, get dogged on, and then eventually leave.
So much of "fandom etiquette" seems to be about insulating creatives from Feeling Bad and hostility to any kind of negative feedback is a pretty big contributor to why bigotry festers in these spaces.
#imo the potluck analogy applies- it would be rude to critique someone's icing technique at a potluck bc it wasn't as good as at the bakery #but if they had decorated their cupcakes w hate symbols it wouldn't be rude to tell them that's gross and gtfo #in fact it would be inappropriate to NOT say anything in that situation #or to complain that another guest who did point it out was 'ruining everyone's potluck' #and pointing out racism in fan works is 100% the second thing not the first!

does anyone know what happened to Ralsts Passion and perfection site? I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Thank you for the ask.
I don't know. But it sure looks like http://ralst.com is dead.
The Wayback Machine's last capture of the landing page is from May 2026.
The last update was apparently in April 2023, announcing that that "Passion and Perfection is now closed to new submissions."
The last two reblogs on @ralst's tumblr were from December 2023 and December 2022.
The is a fanlore page, but it is relatively short.
I an sad that this site is gone. I have a lot of fond memories and am very grateful that ralst maintained the site for so long. It was one of my main fic sources before AO3.
I hope ralst is OK.
If anyone has any information, please feel free to share in the comments, ask, etc.
Oh this is sad. Passion and Perfection and the Pink Rabbit consortium at altfic.com were my two favourite multifandom femslash sites, and looking at the latter that is also now gone, last snapshot in January, though I know I last visited it more recently than that.
These were what we had before AO3, and I'll be forever grateful for all the time and work put into creating and maintaining them.
Download the fic you love, folks, because even the Internet Archive may not be forever
Oh my. Sad indeed that that The Pink Rabbit Consortium (altfic.com) is also gone. The art and design was really amazing.
@pinkrabbitpro's tumblr was last active in January 2020. The is also a fanlore page.
That means that of the three multi fandom femslash sites that I used to use a lot before ff.net and AO3 only one remains active alive mid 2026:
https://realmoftheshadow.com/ (and: fanlore page)
As there is no year listed in the "new stories" page, I am not sure when this site was last updated, but I think it has been a while.
And sadly also a lot of the sites I mentioned in my Xena and Buffy femslash fic guides seem to be gone now. (I'll need to do some digging next week).
A big thank you to everyone who maintained these amazing websites that brought me so much joy!!!
And indeed, remember to download your favorite fics, because nothing lasts forever
