Anyway, Finnick Odair in a room with Kotoko Utsugi. Like, they're both the youngest people to go through their respective killing games (though Kotoko's isn't quite a killing game in the traditional sense), they're both sexual abuse victims and they both want revenge for what happened to them.
The difference is that Finnick had the support of Mags, Annie, Katniss, ect. Whereas Kotoko only had Junko and a collection of just as fucked up children. Finnick could have became Kotoko if he wasn't surrounded by genuine love, and Kotoko could have become like Finnick if someone had genuinely loved her.
I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
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.
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
Ayo wassup. If any of y’all have messaged me or anything just know that I’m ✨absolutely ecstatic✨ about it and it’s makes my day every time.
To be completely honest tho I’m at work rn and therefore don’t have the mental capacity to give any well thought out responses lol. For whatever reason I feel like if it ain’t perfect I shouldn’t say it Idk. No one’s being ignored tho I promise!!💕💕 I’m just a goober and I promise I’ll interact with everyone when I can lol.✌️🗿
Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”
literally so embarrassing to have someone go "i don't go here" or "what's this from?" on my art and it's a rarepair/crackship that is in no way representative of the source material... and i have to be like. well you see, the rest of the restaurant's menu is not like this. i'm doing my own thing eating black olives right out of the can in the back-of-house. whether or not you want me to throw you a can, you have to understand that's not what they serve out front
