Persepolis was the first comic book I read written by a woman, until that point I hadn't realized I had internalized this idea that a whole medium was only available to one gender. I found both the comic and the movie incredibly powerful. Hers is a voice that will be missed

[lovely-v]

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

[viudanegraaa]

Do you understand that Doom became God and he was like honestly this kind of fucking sucks because I still don't get the girl. That's crazy

[viudanegraaa]

It's so weird interacting with people who haven't outgrown the gendered expectations of hobbies bc I said I collected comic books (a thing I've been doing for more than ten years) and someone looked at me like shocked like you never heard of a woman into comic books???

[lastoneout]

honestly the discourse on this site is so bad that I have a new hot take: if you use tumblr at all fuck you

[sun-moon-talia]

batman is one of those characters where i can read one of his comics and think “man. what a great guy. despite all his paranoia and obsessive tendencies he has a deep love for humanity that pushes him to make the world a better place. i don’t understand why so many people hate him.” and then i read another one of his comics and i think he should die in a glue trap

[sun-moon-talia]

ppl are rebloging this saying “it’s because he’s written out of character so much” and that IS true in many cases but i wanna be clear that some of the times i have wished death upon him he was very much acting in character. he just has the range.

with ao3 down i hope this reminds us of what a fanfic-less existence looks like. don’t take it for granted! because it sucks not to have it.

fanfic would not exist without the hours of free labour from fanfic writers and volunteer staff. donate to otw if you have the means. taking a second to give kudos is nothing compared to months of work for writers. a comment will probably make their whole day! sharing and reblogging spreads their work. it’s so discouraging when you give your heart to something, only to receive nothing in return.

support fandom creators and staff. they are the heartbeat of everything we enjoy.

whys steve always facing away from tony during their hug n flys. be gayer. make eye contact. ok thats all for me today goodbye

[viudanegraaa]

I've never been ashamed of reading or writing fanfic and I don't think anyone should feel shame for transforming works they've found meaningful like every subculture in the history of subcultures has been documented. Why don't you want cultural critics to take us seriously?

Girls Who Love Boys Who Love Boys

Girls Who Love Boys Who Love Boys

When did everyone start fujoing out?

There are, broadly, two kinds of fans: the affirmational and the transformational. (They can overlap.) The affirmational fan is the one who obsesses over the facts, details, and rules of a given world. They might learn Klingon grammar, map out Tatooine, or say things like “Well, the concept of ‘rape’ doesn’t exist in Dothraki culture.” They are the originalists of what is “canon” and the foot soldiers of the author, who is always right. They are often coded as male (think Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons). The transformational fan is the one who identifies a crack within the text to fix or to insert their own desires. “It’s largely a democracy of taste,” writes obsession_inc, who first put forth this framework. “Everyone has their own shot at declaring what the source material means and at radically reinterpreting it.” The “favorite problem to fix” is usually a lack of sex, which is why most fan fiction is a form of slash fiction. Writers project parts of themselves into the characters, things that often have to do with their own bodies, sexual desires, and vulnerabilities. Finding others who share those feelings is its own affirmation. “Transformative fiction is so personal because it feels like a life raft,” says Ngozi Ukazu, the author of a 2013 gay hockey romance called Check, Please! “You’re adding a little piece of yourself into it, even if it’s just an opinion on how the world works.” Interestingly, most slash is M/M: On Archive of Our Own, better known as AO3, the major hub of fan fiction today, M/M ships made up 83 out of 100 top entries as of mid-2025.

Hockey slash fiction was simultaneously coming into its own as part of a subgenre called real-person fiction (RPF), in which fans would ship actual celebrities; suddenly, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson are doing it doggy during their world tour; Jung Kook and Jimin are kissing backstage. Hockey RPF had in part grown out of “bandom” — an RPF centered on My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy. All three groups were either going on hiatus or shedding members in the early 2010s, and a number of fanfic writers switched to hockey. There are a couple of theories about why hockey. Its seasons have similar rhythms to a band on tour — there are 82 games in a regular season, which means long days on the road with a lot of sweaty man time together. The real reason may be simpler and more American: Romance is still dominated by white authors, and hockey is a white sport. “Every other major American sport is majority people of color,” says Tan. “Hockey has a lot of traditionally handsome white bros, and people are into it.”

I hated this article. Along with the badly researched sister article on the history of fan fiction.

As I wrote last night on Bluesky:

After reading maybe one fan fic and some hockey books, E. Alex Jung spends a lot of time prevaricating between wanting M/M writers to write more realistically and just patting them on the (female and heterosexual, he presumes) head patronisingly.

There is so much wrong with this article. But I'll just say this: Rachel Reid is not representative of all fan fic writers. And this section shows a startling level of ignorance too:

"For much of the genre, there has been little recognizable gay culture in M/M romances. There is more compulsory masculinity, less faggotry. No diva worship or esoteric knowledge of Broadway musicals here. Nor are there any of the fraught aspects of modern homosexuality: the flattening effect of apps, sexual racism, body dysmorphia, class hierarchies, bitchiness. The guys aren’t cruising dark rooms; popping PrEP, minoxidil, and doxy; or pushing the creative limits of nasal-spray technology. If Scott Hunter were truly a closeted millionaire hockey player in New York, he would be a dick pic on Sniffies looking for anon hole. For something more romantic, he would probably hire an escort."

I read fics containing this stuff. Dark rooms, glory holes, leather culture, those padded banisters at Studio 54, cruising, the apps.

And I've written about WW2 cruising spots, Mount Morris Baths, poppers. I'm currently researching being closeted in the 1960's, in the wake of McCarthyism.

Because I'm queer – and it's queer culture and history.

But E. Alex Jung doesn't want to talk about the interesting, filthy stuff. Or the queer people writing it. He wants to make women feel bad for liking something. He's not the first, and he won't be the last. He conflates enthusiasm for fictional M/M with fetishism of real people.

Het women are allowed to like M/M. They don't need a reason. Neither do I.
