Honestly I'm glad the incest scares all the weirdos off from this fandom, especially since the same people tend to also dip really hard into racism, misogyny, and homophobia. We're better off without the toxic shitheads.

Anyway, somewhere Horus is fucking his uncle really hard and they're both loving it and it's super hot (I've written around 66 fics with them in love).

Alternate Horus/Set flavor for Saika no Kami wa Negawanai if you're so inclined.

Die mad about it, haters.

day 4376 of me begging people in this fanbase to remember that these characters are not real and therefore do not have "boundaries" that can be crossed outside of the narrative, and whatever they want is what sjm decides they want. even if something unforeseen comes up in her writing, sjm still wrote these characters to be this way, and authors don't always foresee things in the planning process that will end up true to the character later on. that doesn't mean her remarks on characters not working out or working out differently than she planned should be interpreted as the character suddenly having autonomous wants and controlling sjm's decisions 💀

I had the misfortune of seeing one right after the other both a "I hate heroic characters that try to do the right thing without thinking" and "I hate fictional characters that do bad things" and I kind of want to yell at both for being idiots

I think it’s very interesting that “Feyre stans” (antis in disguise), defend Nesta and Tamlin’s actions, then use their “love” of Feyre as a manipulation tool against anyone that calls them out on their hypocrisy. You’re not a Feyre stan if you defend Nesta and Tamlin’s abuse of her, and still ship her with her abuser.

And the fact that these people spend majority of their content criticising Feyre’s character for no longer accepting her abusers abuse, than they do for Tamlin and Nesta’s treatment of Feyre, is very telling. And when they’re called out for this, they try and switch the argument and make it all about how horrible Rhys and the IC are…Love, we know you’re not a Feyre stan and we know you love Nesta and Tamlin bc of their treatment of Feyre. You don’t have to hide it anymore 💀

I should have known the asoiaf fandom was beyond help when i said Rhaegar was an interesting character and book!tyrion was one of my favorite characters ever written and they were lambasted within my own circle, because "they are terrible person".

Since when a fictional character’s actions became an indicator as to whether we should find them interesting or not? some form of brain-deteriorating condition that causes people to enjoy characters based on morality and morality alone, i guess.

You'd expect fans of asoiaf would, of all people, know better. They don't.

Y'all, 90% of Game of Thrones/Asoiaf characters are terrible people or they committed atrocities. By the logic of this boring fandom, we are allowed to like only Ser Pounce, Tommen's cat.

It's funny because Tyrion and Rhaegar are not even close to be the worst characters in the series.

Jaime Lannister was happy to go to war (one he pretty much guaranteed by cucking his king for years and impregnating his royal sister three times) and kill thousands upon thousands of people to preserve his incestuous love affair with Cersei; he tries to murder a child, yet his arc becomes all about how he feels unfairly maligned.

Oberyn, an extremely popular character, beats a woman and steals her daughter, leading to said woman unaliving, and sleeps with a sixteen year old (no modern bias here? i heard that Rhaegar was a pedo). No, Oberyn is not Pedro Pascal.

Let's not talk about Robert, Gregor Clegane, Tywin, and Stannis. Meh even the Starks are not saints.

All these men… but RHAEGAR and TYRION is where you draw the line of who is acceptable to like?

If you wanna be insufferable at least be consistent.

When did the fairy fandom become so...chaotic? I see people shipping a ship and then get jumped because "they don't care about how character xyz feels." Like...they aren't real lol

I'm still new- I've only been here a year. If it's worse or better, I can't speak to that. It does feel very heavily divided, "with us or against us" with almost no nuance. I think fandom can be like that AND it feels very heavy here. If you like x pair, you ARE these things no matter what. You hate women, you don't respect choice, you actually hate this particular woman in general. Or you are an abuse/r*PE apologist, etc etc.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. These books aren't well thought out. They aren't particularly well written. Characterizations change book to book to suit the narrative and the fans work overtime to make it make sense. I see so much meta on like, why it makes sense for Nesta to be a warrior when she said she never wanted that or why Rhys lying to Feyre about the pregnancy is actually normal and fine even though two books ago she was willing to leave him over it.

They do not deserve the level of analysis they get. They do not deserve the rabid, foaming at the mouth devotion some people have. Shipping in this fandom for some of y'all is like a full-time job. It can't be fun if other people don't have your same head canons. Like we all came to wildly different conclusions in part because the author just did what she wanted and we fell in love with the world and characters and want it to be more than it is.
