I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.
We're entering this strange era of fannish existence where we are simultaneously trying to censor everything into oblivion and also be as invasive as we possibly can to celebrities and people of interest.
Like god forbid someone writes smut fic about Henry Cavill on their silly little Tumblr account, but its considered normal that "insider sources" are selling telling you all about his private relationships and paparazzi are photographing him buying groceries.
I can't say 'sex' on TikTok but Daily Mail can take photographs of female celebrities half-naked in their own backyards and talk about their weight and their breasts and how appealing they are or aren't.
We are obsessed with consuming real life, often invasive content about real people, but god forbid we start creating our own so we don't rely on exploiting them and their privacy.
It's time for the sebaciel renaissance when the new season drops ✨

"Fictional children cannot consent"
Nothing fictional can consent to shit, because that would require them to be.. Let me say this in the nicest way possible. Be real, living, breathing human beings with thoughts of their own.
we are in a media literacy crisis
I found EVERYTHING!!! (I hope)
I´ve lately seen many young peeps in fandom spaces, worrying about openly shipping their ships because of what antis might do
so let me tell you something:
antis are huge losers who are gonna find something to hate you for no matter what you do
even if you ship EXACTLY what they ship, theyre gonna yell at you for "not shipping it right"
so, my piece of advice: just do whatever you want and tear up the house! antis are gonna hate no matter what, so ignore them and find some good companions by being yourself
Fran, Frisk and Sally. Both normal and abnormal/bloody views. They’re standing in the order of which one came out first and last. Fran is bleeding from the eyes, Frisk is from the heart and Sally is from the whole face (it can’t really be seen because of the mask)
Fran Bow: 2015. August 27.
Undertale: 2015. September 15.
