navani spends her entire adult life tethered to men who take her for granted and consider her, her passion and talent for fabrial science, her life as a being separate from the role of wife and mother and queen, as little more than a footnote, and in their very first interaction raboniel acknowledges her skill and her talent and calls her and her work remarkable. man. man what the hell

mistborn era 3

My oc is a mistco girl who carries her metals in a hydroflask… she’s super quirky and stans allomancer jaksksksksksk. She’s not a feruchemist but she wears bracers on her wrists and in her hair. Her boyfriend is super nice and caring and practices e-malurgy… also she’s an influencer on tinstagram and a video of her first getting mistborn powers went viral on pewtube, initially posted on snapchat

What is your favorite relationship between two characters?

Brandon Sanderson: Favorite relationship? Oh boy… Adolin and Kaladin. That was a lot of fun to write, because they’re such different people, but they’re really good for one another.

#branderson how do you keep doing these things on ACCIDENT

[altoinkblots]

a writer who writes the most fucked up “dead dove: do not eat” problematic pairing and fully tags and warns for the content they create will always be worthy of more respect in my eyes than people who call others weirdos because of who they ship. This is because a writer who writes disturbing things but gives me plenty of warning about them has demonstrated, regardless of what happens in the fic, that they value the consent of real people, and that they value my consent to see such content and will always offer me the option to avoid or withdraw. On the other hand, a purity cultist who demands I explain my trauma and exactly why I might be drawn to dark content, regardless of whether they’re the purest fluff writer to ever write, has demonstrated a lack of respect for my boundaries and the attitude that they are entitled to whatever they want to take from me. 

There are a lot of things that bother me about purity culture, but I think the most disturbing is that it clouds the very definition of consent, and then teaches this confusing version (you must consent to deep dives into your trauma and how it affects you for the benefit of strangers who have already decided you’re a bad person, and not consenting to that automatically makes you an abuser, also no one can consent to reading or thinking about disturbing content ever because thinking about it means you want it irl) to young, vulnerable, and often traumatized individuals, thus making it harder to understand their trauma and easier for them to ignore the real warning signs of abuse (like demanding that you agree with the abuser otherwise you’re literally the worst and most harmful person ever) because it teaches that abusers only come in one type, and that all abusers are “nasty shippers”.

This is especially dangerous because real life abusers teach their victims that the abuse is happening because the victim is a bad, evil person. One of the diagnostic criteria for PTSD is literally “Places undue blame on themself or others for what happened”. Teaching traumatized people that consent is a luxury only “good” people are allowed to have is incompatible with support for abuse survivors. tl;dr a writer who tags “dead dove: do not eat” has demonstrated respect for the necessity of consent. A purity cultist who sends anon hate has demonstrated a lack of respect for consent.
