Cannot stress enough how much I really do not give a fuck wether or not I’m “mischaracterizing” or “woobifying” or whatever and you shouldn’t either

Is it just me or are transformative works not allowed to transform things anymore?

AUs or setting shifts? Cringe, might as well just make OCs at that point. Fix-It fics? Disrespectful to the author's vision and a sign of lacking media literacy. Fluff or lighter than canon? Self-indulgent rot, go outside. Anything darker than canon? Whoa, calm down edgelord. Shipping? You'd BETTER be prepared to defend your thesis using several examples from the canon text and even then you're on thin fucking ice. It's "he would not fucking say that" but there are 5 different mutually incompatible and hotly debated views about what he Would Fucking Say or not.

There's just so much pettiness and entitlement surrounding writing and art people are sharing with you for exactly zero dollars on this site, it drives me up the wall. If you want only things that are entirely compatible with canon with exactly zero deviations canon itself is *right there*. Or better yet, if that's the only thing you want to see, write it yourself and accept works that aren't to your liking are always going to exist.

No one cares you're the Biggest Canon Understander in existence, you're just an annoying smug asshole.

I’ve been getting a surprising amount of fuck JK Rowling which is fine and dandy but it’s all been “and if you like Harry Potter at all you can go and fuck yourself because that means you support JK Rowling” which I feel is just pathetic, mean, and going too far. People saying you can’t pirate anything and that even fanfiction is bad because Harry Potter is an inherently bad thing.

While I’m sat there working on a Harry Potter fanfiction. Like I think the Harry Potter fandom is its own thing at this point. Like everyone I’ve met doesn’t like JK Rowling. Fanfiction is its own thing too.

And I’ll not saying there isn’t some not great things in Harry Potter, it’s not perfect. But calling people names and saying that if they still like it means they are intentionally missing the bad things is just ridiculous. Not to mention I think that some of the things being said about the series is pushing it a bit. Yes JK Rowling is an extremely terrible person, but you don’t need to be rude about it.

I am going to continue wrighting my Harry Potter AU fanfiction. I don’t care if my take on the characters is OOC. I don’t care if I end up doing some character bashing I’m doing it all for myself. I know some things are issues but I think the main one is the House Elves and maybe the depiction of Goblins but I’ve got work around for them. I diversify the cast a bit.

I don’t know about anyone elce but I tend to latch to things and I latch to them hard. I will never not be interested in things like Harry Potter and telling me I am bad just for liking Harry Potter and for liking fanfiction and still at least somewhat liking the books just kind of hurts. It hurts and it doesn’t help anyone. The world is a fucking mess right now I get it, but fiction is my escape. Fanfiction is my escape.

And just incase people try to come at me I am genderfluid. Maybe not explicitly trans but I am queer, I am MOGAI. I am AFAB. I get it.

So in summary I’m going to keep blocking that and a lot of the discourse on my page. If you see this and think I’m evil then just fucking block me and save me the trouble please. No hate comments, no arguing at me (I’m not going to listen), no telling me to grow up and read something else. Just block me

Is the writing actually bad, or are you hating on her because she's a female writer and you are purity fandom culture idiot?

(Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you!)

"If you could go back in time to prevent one thing from happening, what would it be?"

Letting normies and mainstreamers into fandom spaces.

In my head all the acotar characters have much better personalities and they do commit to every bit to their description of their character and that's very hot to me.

[exanti-against-antis]

Antis who put fandom medias they don't like in their dni listings because they hate it for being "irredeemable media" all sound like conservative christians that hate on things for being "sinful" to me.
