So I just realized/thought of something today cruising through the Jonerys tag on A03. I’ve noticed it before, but never really paid much mind to it. But now with all this hate centered on the writers who allegedly hate Jon Snow - all of us who’ve written cheating or cuck or post-resurrection punishment fics or whatever - made me realize the extent of the hypocrisy in the tag/fandom.

I’m sure you guys have seen it. And maybe you’ve paid it no mind too because you, like me, just scroll past things that don’t interest you or you’re looking for a fave author or whatever. Anyway.

Are you guys familiar with the A03 Jonerys collection “Blessed Fics?” No? Let me give you a brief rundown:

Are you guys seeing a pattern here?

Ohhh, and who could forget these two gems:

And last, but certainly not least, this lovely piece of work right here:

“Implied/Referenced Cheating” “Mistress Daenerys”

I find this last one particularly hilarious given the shit some writers got recently for having Jon hook up with a married Dany.

Many of these fics were written over the summer, I’m guessing when the “tag policing” phenomenon started to pick up steam, but I’m not entirely sure. Idk. I wasn’t in the tag much this summer as I was in Europe for work.

Now, it may surprise people to see me say this, but I actually am not bothered by any of these fics or their tags or their content. I truly don’t give a shit. This kind of thing doesn’t bother me nearly a faction as much as, say, a beastiality fic (and even then, I’m still able to scroll past it like an ADULT).

But anyway, yeah, I don’t care. 

I know some readers hate this kind of thing though. I’ve seen people complain before about the Jon/Dany dubcon fics. Dubcon is certainly potentially divisive and “problematic”.  But again, these fics don’t have nearly the amount of discourse happening on them as the other problematic fics in the tag (aka the “Jon hater fics” or whatever you’d all like the call them).

So, it’s perfectly okay for people to write fics where Dany is kinda forced to have sex with Jon but ohhh don’t worry it’s okay cuz she grows to like it - but it’s not okay to write fics where Jon’s shown in a less than positive light?

So it seems that the discord (one of them) IS responsible for “rape” fics in the tag - because in case any of you didn’t know, dubcon, if not outright rape, is on the rape spectrum (dear god, I can’t believe I just wrote that fucking sentence, no I don’t believe their is a rape spectrum in real life, dubcon is rape in real life). 

And they have been filling up the tag, oh, I’m sorry, “cleaning the tag” :

....since this summer. 

So how about this? 

WE won’t bitch about your fantasy Jon-rapes-Dany-kinda-but-Dany-eventually-likes-it fics, and YOU stop bitching about us writing fics where Jon is somehow “punished” in the narrative.

One of the things I keep seeing get repeated in comments sections of fics is how us “Tumblrinas” are punishing Jon in our Jonerys fics for what happened in Season 8. 

But...these “Modern Targcest” fics seem to be punishing Dany for some reason (as if the S8 narrative didn’t punish her enough seeing as how she went crazy and she’s fucking dead). Dany gets slapped around by Jon, Dany gets dominated by Jon, Dany takes it up the ass with Jon, Dany is blackmailed into fucking Jon, Dany is held down and fucked by Jon when she repeatedly tells him “no”...oh but again, don’t worry, cuz she likes it!

Seriously, what the fuck.

So all you “discord” bros, don’t even fucking try. Don’t. Just fucking don’t. 

Write your rapey Targcest fics. I don’t care.

But do not come for me and my friends again for writing a Jon-“punishment” fic or cheating fic or cuck fic or whatever. 

Stay in your lane. 

We’ll stay in ours. 

You do not have a claim over Season 8 content either. It’s all fucking fair game. We can write fics set in whatever timeline we wish. Season 8 fic does not equal “serious fic” - whatever the fuck you all mean by that. 

As I keep saying, it’s all fanfiction. If it were 100% canon compliant, it wouldn’t be fan fiction, it’d be plagiarism. So shut up.

*Edit/added: I love how another of the arguments with this whole debacle was “If you're a true Jonerys fan, you want Jon and Dany to be 100% EQUAL!” Well, apparently not everyone wants Jon and Dany equal and it’s some of the people spouting this idiotic message. 

#fandom wank #stay in your lane #we'll stay in ours #just FFS leave us alone #and stop accusing us of polluting the tag or making the fandom 'toxic' #had to get this off my chest #i think i'm done now
