@urnumbrwon while using the same meaningless metaphors and phrases… the way Claude does—repeatedly, infuriatingly, mechanically. with the cadence of a man who is controlled, quiet and precise like the sharp tang of carcinogenic Zamboni cuts and control and athletic tape. Marcus. quiet.

YES THANK YOU Characters = narrative shortcut for certain traits or experiences—but fic authors have always been at liberty to explore THEIR identities as lived by people who AREN’T them. Fanfic is escapism (Ofc this based take is from one of my FAVE amnesia Hollanov fics EVER)
Juko 𓅨@jukoist

i think a lot of you need to realise that people often write fanfiction to explore themselves and use the characters as tools to do so, and that's perfectly fine... it doesn't need to be a perfect exploration of the characters in align with how they behave in canon

Like if you want everything to hew 99-100% close to canon then goddamn, (re-)read the books! Or holy hell, friggin EXCLUDE THE TAG if you’re so against a concept!!! It really isn’t that hard!!!! Don’t expect ao3 to curate your reads FOR you, it’s not wattpad, jfc!!!!!!

I’m still not over it like. People have gender swapped Hollanov. People have made ABO Hollanov, which tbh in a lot of cases is an analogue of straight Hollanov. Which also exists. And yet somehow, the problem is fanfic making Shane Hollander… bisexual. Ayt!

I come from the livejournal era so hr is definitely not this baby’s first fandom Several things • If fic is properly tagged, then it shouldn’t be your problem • I understand the OOC frustration but to imply that bisexuality is not a “marginalized identity” is dismissive imo.
jaso | shane hollander’s attorney@ganseyyiii

this is how you know that hr is some people’s “baby’s first fandom.” bc yes fanfic is fanfic but one of the unspoken rules is that you never erase a character’s canon, marginalized identity.

Like we celebrate househelp here!!!! We celebrate ANYONE here, saying we needed “accomplishments” to claim anyone is a crazy assertion when we’re known for being ANNOYING for claiming literally ANYBODY

And the world’s out to get us when we’re historically pacifist, assimilationist, and submissive. Then we fight back a little bit with facts and called r——-ed; we pay homage and called appropriators. Like where the HELL do we stand??? Who are we and who do you want us to be?????

It’s such a weird identity experience to be Filipino sometimes coz like We’re not White, but we’re “little brown Americans” We’re Asian, but “the poor monkey type” We’re Southeast Asian but neither truly culturally Malay nor Buddhist We’re Spain-colonized but we’re not Latinx

Lol instead of being like “wow white people really truly fucked us over,” it’s a battle of “this POC stole from us” and instigating race and culture wars and yet again NOTHING for the whites who fucked us all up

Highly discouraging when the most loved fics are AI tropey slop with like 10 000 kudos. Like yeah write for the love of the game but also demoralizing because you’re posting on ao3 for an ostensible audience, y’know? And this is why all my fics remain in my notes app lately
Eli 🌿@AruBerus

People on here saying that 1000 kudos is a laughably ignored fic and that 500 kudos is an absurdly low number very few could imagine, and meanwhile my highest-kudos'd fic ever sits at 464 kudos, which I consider to be an insanely high number 😭

imo it’s bc the book offers internal narrative that the tv show (as a medium) has no choice but to portray physically, save for a few lines? show!ilya was seen caressing show!shane’s cheek/bones so many times and i think it’s implied?? that ilya’s thinking freckle obsession then
v.@jeoncloudyy

for the book being so specific about ilya's affection for shane's freckles in the book, they really paid no attention to it in the show even when they drew such visibly beautiful freckles on him
