OMG ITS HAPPENING EVERYBODY STAY CALM STAY CALM
Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide.
Also Vanya isnt a saint, none of the siblings are. They're all terrible people because thats the point of the show, its a grim take on superheros and it portrays the different outcomes of abuse. Luther has a superiority complex, Diego has a superhero complex, Allison uses her powers for personal gain, Klaus is a drug addict, Five killed people for a living, Ben is... A real sweetheart, and Vanya trusted a lunatic and harmed her siblings. But you know what? Its all justified and has a reason, which was the terrible shitty parenting from Reginald.
So umbrella academy season 2 is officially out and I think I can safely say that, Luther is not that bad and he is my favorite character. I probably lost most of you but I think this needs to said, this will be me explaining why I dont hate Luther(quite the opposite really) and you shouldnt either.
One of the biggest points of hating Luther is that he wont shut up about the moon and how he should just get over it because it was 4 years. But lets be honest, how many times did he really talk about the moon? Because its not that much in the grand scheme of things. Luther was left on the moon ALONE for 4 years, doing things that he thought were meaningful and helpful to his father but it turns how Reginald didnt even bother reading his reports and letters. Its not just about the 4 years either, Luther spent his entire life in that house and once again he was ALONE both physically and mentally. Physically, his siblings left him and started their own life. Mentally, his siblings were never really there for him they all were put up against each other striving for their fathers attention.
The hargreeves siblings never got their fathers love, which effected them differently. They didnt even get real names, their names were given to them by Grace and no their father. Now as you know Luther is the only sibling you trusts Reginald, why? Because he's never given a reason to not trust him. He is number 1 and that means he has the most responsibility and the most trust from his father. Which royally fucks your mindset up, he has a superiority complex of course, but why shouldnt he? He's the most emotionally naive and pair that with the grooming tactics from Reginald, you have a poor kid wrapped in their fathers web. Not to mention that he was deformed and turned into a monster by the only person he trusted
So as you know at the end of the season Luther hugs Vanya and then throws her in a tight cell. Most of the fans hate him for this very specific reason, but should you? Of course its a really scummy thing to do and its good reason to hate him, but you have to understand why. Luther has only seen the destructiveness of her powers and moments ago he saw the woman he loved(which is super gross but there's a reason for it) almost die at the hands of his sister, who he didnt even know had powers. In his mind she's the reason for the apocalypse and locking her up will stop it, but of course it doesn't. How was he supposed to know that? Its what his father did and in his mind it seems right. Also the other siblings(except Allison) didnt really try to stop him either, why pick and choose based on what character you like. They had no fucking clue what to do and it seemed to be the right choice.
I have a genuine request, if you hate Luther tell me why. That doesnt include "he's annoying" or "he wont shut up about the moon", I'll wait
So I have read several people complaining that they can't be expected to know the "unwritten rules" of fandom. So here's what I wish people knew:
Fanfiction is fiction.
Fictional people are not real.
Fictional people do not have rights.
Fictional people cannot be abused.
Reading or writing about something does not mean the desire to do or support it in the real world.
If I find art upsetting/triggering/disgusting/outraging/unpleasant/squicky/distressing/offensive, it is on me not to read it, not the creators and hosts to remove it.
Curate your own experience. The back buttons exist for a reason.
If you don't trust yourself to do that, get someone you trust to do it for you.
Fandom is an adult space. Adults create and own and host fandom spaces. If minors want to participate, then the onus is on them and their parents/guardians/trusted adults to ensure they participate appropriately, not on strange adults to stop being adults.
You often don't know the assault status or mental health status or neurotype or race or nationality or religion or gender or sexuality or age of a creator or consumer, and they do not have to disclose to you to justify their fantasy.
AO3 is not a safe space. It is not intended to be a safe space. Proceed accordingly.
Just because you don't like something or find it offensive doesn't mean it is a "problem" that "has to be dealt with".
Most characters in anime are not white.
There is no onus on you to reblog or share anything.
Everyone makes mistakes in fandom and is less than their best self sometimes.
Persistent pseudonyms encourage long term relationships.
Ship wars are stupid.
Someone else enjoying things does not impact on your own enjoyment of other things.
Tagging and warning is a courtesy, not a requirement. Assume any fic might contain untagged content.
Rating is an imprecise art, not a science.
Don't hassle IP creators.
Most people who are in fandom are hoping to make connections based on a shared passion.
Trying to profit from transformative fanworks puts us all at risk.
No one is obligated to share your head canon or fanon.
Being kind rarely fails to pay off.
It is okay to block and remove people who make your experience unpleasant. You don't have to placate them. (Learn from my mistakes).
Britpicking is a good thing.
You don't have to justify why you like a canon/pairing/trope/kink. Sometimes navel gazing is fun, but you don't have an obligation to explain yourself, especially to strangers. I share the overwhelming desire to refute an unfair accusation, but the people accusing you are rarely doing so in good faith, so you're batting a losing wicket.
I'm not your Mum. (Well, okay, a very few of you can call me Mum or Mom, but if you are one of them you already know who you are ❤️)
If you aren't mature enough to take responsibility for your online experiences, you aren't mature enough to be in fandom spaces.
I am still a minor. I will not hesitate to block and report porn blogs
