yeah i personally dont ship ink w any1 anymore but i do agree. current errink is. uugh... it's gettinf BETTER tho ? I mean 2018 error x ink was just. not good. i kind of feel this way abt horrordust as ive shipped it since i was ten, and its been a good amount of years since then. The way I write Dust has changed for the better and I feel like people forget about Horror's pain and trauma. Amd I'm rambling SOREY /lh
that is valid! and dw no worries :)
i honestly left the fandom in 2016 then came back at the start of 2021? so i dont have experience with 2018 errink but. from what ive Seen? yeah... it didnt sit right with me either
current errink is getting better, i think, as more people are taking error's trauma seriously... buuut people also have realized that ink is more "complex," and to them that means, "ink doesn't have a soul and lacks empathy so he's just manipulating everyone and is a dangerous untrustworthy person." which like. as someone with friends who have extremely low empathy, that is just so disrespectful. genuinely
AND GOD DON'T GET ME STARTED ON DUST AND HORROR... so many people do not know how to write characters with psychotic disorders. i mean from the get-go dust's mental illness wasn't portrayed the best (in general i think giving a mental illness like that to a hyper-violent murderer definitely deserves criticism). and yeah people definitely dumb horror's trauma down and make it something "cute" and "innocent." like ohh look at horror he cooks meals for everyone!!! ohh look at horror he's hoarding food!!! so cute!!! no it literally isn't wtf, he has TRAUMA, i feel like he'd be extremely averse to food and avoid it at all costs. to me it just feels very romanticized and i don't like it
...not to mention, everything else that happened in his au? fdgdfgjdf like man lost a whole EYE. his relationships completely fell apart. horrortale is such a good au it makes me upset all the time that people in the utmv fandom just disregard horror's circumstances or minimize it. it's super interesting
people also forget (or probably don't know considering the original posts are archived/deleted) that killer has some form of DID or OSDD-1... not that it was portrayed well at all, kinda similar to dust, but y'know.
there's just so many things abt the way fanon interpretation of the sanses upsets me... and yeah yeah i know, nobody has to change for me or whatever, it's my personal preferences and i don't expect everybody to feel the same. but like. at the very least take criticism, especially when it comes to characters with trauma and mental illness and that kinda stuff???
