I've got a new listing on my etsy shop!! I'm currently taking preorders for these unisex, one-size starry robes! I've had this piece of my own for a while now, so please expect a couple photos here and there of how I've worn and styled this piece in the past.
@Dreamboum i kinda see it that way. like for me mgs2 is a meta narrative about characters trapped in a story playing out their roles, and fortune is someone who is able to, for just a single moment, have control over her own fate despite the script saying otherwise.
Fortune miraculously deflected Metal Gear Ray's missiles at a time when you are told the patriots are in control of everything. Fortune's actions tells you here and there that the Patriots are doomed to fail because mankind can and will beat all odds. That's the whole series
@patroklov@girl_lestat I genuinely think the rise of otherkin/mediakin (aka “kinning” fictional characters) is a huge part of it that we don’t talk about enough 🤔 I definitely think it played a role in priming the terminally online mindset to accept treating fictional characters as real people
All noncon in fic/art is Consensual Nonconsent, but the consent is occurring between the SENTIENT PARTIES, the creator & consumer.
Fictional characters HAVE no real-world ability to give or withhold consent. Denying agency to actual humans is a far more dangerous precedent.
when it's asian it's "fetish" but if it's western it's "a real representation of gay men's genuine lives and experiences" heartstopper author i will never forgive you

Your inability to fact-check is no one else's fault; it is no one but yours. Fix it, loser
being fandom old is funny cause eventually u start noticing patterns in all the discourse. fanfic discourse ➜ ao3 vs real books ➜ “dark romance is bad” ➜ “shipping is porn brained” ➜ “fiction affects reality” ➜ yaoi vs yuri which is more woke. & yall stay remixing these
the day people see fiction as a medium to explore themes of humanity instead of a guidebook on how to figure out your morals is the day society will heal
