So many fic ideas. Very little fic writing done.

this all started because one of you kkkottagekkkore bxtches went to a u-pick strawberry farm huh

I feel for their sense of alienation but if they read a single thing they’d realize romanticizing the ~country~ to alienated urban dwellers is literally how they sold “”“"frontier”“” life to white people and is a current strategy of the government to create more white farmers so that indigenous people can’t buy their land back and to crowd out Black farmers lol

Does this apply outside North America and Oceania? Because I’d love to move to rural Europe (especially Britain – or maybe Scandinavia, though I wouldn’t know the language there) and live off the land. I’m American myself, but hey, Anathema Device moved from the US to Lower Tadfield (at least on the show).

Yes. It could even apply in Europe, as there’s also Indigenous groups there (ex: Saami & Karelians in Scandanavia, Basques in France, Indigenous Russians). There was even a post a few years ago about Indigenous Argentinians and Peruvians being annoyed by random Americans who went there to try farm or raise Llamas and Alpacas & how it was negatively affecting them. This is a global thing.

In the UK the cottagecore trend is just the latest outgrowth of the idea of ‘Merry Old England’, a utopian idea of English country life and culture based on an idyllic pastoral way of life that alledgedly existed at some point between the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution. It’s the nostalgic idea of ‘essential Englishness’ featuring cultural symbols such as the thatched cottage, the country inn and the Sunday roast, as well as aspects of an “earlier society” that are missing in modern times. It’s the England we find in Winnie the Pooh, Beatrix Potter, The Shire from LotR, etc. But it’s not just a harmless product of the sentimental imagination; it’s also an ideological or political construct most often used by conservatives promising a return to ‘the golden age’ of the nation, which was seen during the Tory Brexit campaign. The idea of Merry Old England was also central to wartime propaganda in WWII. 

It is, in fact, quite similar to Nazi propaganda promising the German Volk an idyllic, pastoral utopia, ironically to be achieved by using the most advanced technological weaponry ever built. The ideal Nazi state was to be free from any “impure elements” (Jews, black people, disabled or LGBTQ+-folks) and full of blushing Aryans drinking beer from tankards, making wood carvings, milking cows etc. The idea of Lebensraum (”living space”) for Aryan Germans in the east of Europe, which was simply another form of settler colonialism,  dates back all the way to propaganda from WWI.

Just liking a fic doesn’t tell me jack about what you thought

It’s frustrating to be told people want to read something and to get no response from it
