i have some thoughts on zar’s exit from the fandom & their decision to delete their fics and how the fandom is reacting to that. and the fandom is reacting horribly.
and the irony of it all! because, arguably, crimson rivers is what zar is most known for. crimson rivers, set in the hunger games universe, created by suzanne collins to criticize capitalism, the entertainment industry, and consumerism patterns of offered media and how it varies based on a social class. and zar’s work added so much nuance to what suzanne collins had written. zar had done an excellent job writing james, sirius, and regulus as victors and exploring their respective traumas when it comes to being in the public eye.
regulus (and james, too) constantly felt like he had no autonomy and no choice because he was thrust into the public light and pressured into doing exactly what was expected of him. and sirius? oh, sirius. sirius won his games and was made into this galaxy-sized celebrity by the hallows, expected to conform to every assumption made about him, to follow all the rules his new role as a mentor & a victor burdened him with. but most importantly—the hallows viewed sirius as nothing more than what he could offer to them. they looked at him and did not see the person.
zar wrote that, and tens-hundreds of thousands people read it and completely misunderstood. because zar wrote 865k words exploring how traumatizing it is to be made into an Image, to be stripped away of your autonomy for the sake of entertaining others. zar wrote that, only for the marauders fandom to do the exact same thing to them that the hallows did to sirius, to regulus, to james; to victors.
and that. that is fucking infuriating.
because, yes, zar is a brilliant writer, but first and foremost, zar is a person. and the way a large part of the fandom has been treating them is completely dehumanizing.
STOP saying “i respect/support zar’s decision but [insert a paragraph about how devastated you are and how you cannot stop crying]”.
STOP sharing the pdfs/epubs of his fics on literally all social media platforms when it’s the one thing zar explicitly asked people to not do.
STOP feeling entitled to the creative work that does not the fuck belong to you. STOP thinking that you have any right to demand anything from zar. STOP hiding emotional manipulation in-between words of illusory support and respect.
and to quote zar: for fuck’s sake, STOP calling them zeppazariel.
zeppazariel is a brilliant writer who was elevated within the fandom to a height so big that it hurts when you fall and crash, and the fandom pushed zar down. the marauders fandom made zar into a full-blown celebrity, but
zar is a person.
REMEMBER THAT.

No one is even talking about speak now anymore and this was one of the most anticipated re-records (especially for me) and that demonstrates the extent to which this could be damaging

i need people in this fandom to stop gaslighting bipoc, jewish, and muslim swifties into thinking that their disappointment in taylor associating herself with someone like matty is somehow wrong or that they have an “unhealthy parasocial relationship” with her or that it’s “not your business who she dates”. stop minimizing the feelings of people who have been hurt by his actions and if you’re white, it’s not your place to tell them how they should or shouldn’t react. people are allowed to acknowledge a misstep of someone that they support.

remember when taylor took the time to notice and specifically call out ginny & georgia (a show that like 5 people were even watching) over one bad 15 sec joke involving her, but matty healy is a repeat offender of anti semitism, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny, and it’s crickets?

also one thing that’s been bugging me is that taylor associating with matty healy goes so specifically against her brand of feminism that she has tapped into since 2014, which is the whole Women Supporting Women™️ mantra. like, her thing for years has been about trying to uplift other women in the industry and call out the manufactured cattiness.. but just a few months ago, her man called ice spice a dumb bitch on that podcast and made disparaging remarks about her appearance. and considering she plays ice spice’s song before going on stage, it seems, idk, insulting to then go date that guy. we all know how taylor feels about women being referred to as bitches especially by men (see: look what you made me do) and that she has no problem calling out what she sees as misogyny happening to her (see: her tweet to damon albarn & her ginny and georgia tweet). imagine if matty had referred to taylor as a dumb bitch on that podcast instead and made remarks about her weight, we KNOW she would’ve hit back immediately. but it’s fuck other women i guess

obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.

feeling conflicted because my disappointment right now extends beyond just taylor dating that creature. It lies with Phoebe willing to share a stage with him. It lies with Jack working with and partying with him. It lies with everyone in that circle willing to associate with him and give him a platform. It's hypocritical to feel discomfort with taylor while turning a blind eye to the rest when Phoebe is also very close to him, she was the one he shared the stage with during the shows and Jack is the one who brought him back into the circle. Idk. It's just all very disappointing from some of my favourite artists.

see i'm sick and my nose is very much a mess right now. so today i was in my class and this was a class that happened in a mainly corporate building and we have bathrooms on every floor. so today i went to the washroom in the middle of the class because i couldnt breathe and didnt want to blow the whagamacalit in front of the class and there's a lady there. shit.
i walk in see her, go into the bathroom and blow my brains out. she heard it, she still didnt move. i still wanted to get the stuff out beCAUSE I COULDNT BREATHE. and she doesnt move so i leave and as i'm heading to the classroom i say fuck it
and walk back and tell her to get out, politely. she wasnt doing anything so i didnt feel guilty and im not ashamed beacuse if i did it in front of her i'd be sooooooo embarassed but i asked her to leave because i wanted to clean my umm well my nose.
she wasnt offended i think buttt next time ladies you think someone wants to clean the gutter in their nose, kindly GET OUT. because i would for you. even though you may not have to.
thankyou
