"....Bruce Wayne is the Batman??? ...unsurprising - if only since ...it is not so much a thing learned...as a thing remembered."

I've been ping-ponging the idea of a Frankenstein inspired Talon!Dick fic, but I need to read more Court of Owls things to feel confident in writing it. In any case, this scene would not quit, so I drew it instead ♡

#trying not to freak out about the proportions im so 🫠🫠🫠 #anyway the basic idea is dick dying either by surprise or via sacrifice In Bruce's arms and its Devastating (because i love him suffering) #he's a wreck for a few years before he goes up against the Court and their mysterious new assassin - spoiler alert: its Dick re-animated #who has a foggy memory of a lot of things but not enough #love the idea of him like ignoring his brainwashing slash mush brain and deciding to come back to the manor #and everyone jokes about him joining the dead robins club or whatever but no one thinks its actually funny #(because he looks w r o n g - is a little wrong. the pallor is too strong the eyes not blue anymore the skin too cold) #and maybe they fall into bed for the first time because there are too many all encompassing feelings - which is also agonizing #BECAUSE !!! how much time did they lose Before and it took actual death ??? for them to come together #AGONIZING.

Starting to think computers are actually the work of a dark and twisted demonic force.

#trying to trouble shoot a pc problem and we've gotten to the point wherein i am considering just ignoring it and hoping it solves itself orz #everything i try just makes things worse!! #i cleared my site data instead of just the temporary files in firefox and now nothing loads so im restarting the damn pc #but its taking. FOREVER. which is always a great sign. if this doesn't fix the page load times (not even the original problem!) im going to #freak out. just completely. because now i have to fix two things tomorrow... i wanna go to bed i don't want to do tech support anymore #im just frustrated and doing things impulsively that are not very helpful. so now i have to sadly sign back into every website on earth #which is very slow and painful because SOMEONE is hogging all my disk #everyone stop hogging all my disk and let firefox load challenge difficulty level impossible #but hey. restarting it did make the pages actually load now. i started this post on my phone and am now editing it on my working pc -w-)b #i am going to have 500 security alerts in my inbox tomorrow lol. #snow blogging

Different anon, I just want to say, in good faith, that no one is arguing incest is good in real life, but I think enjoying it in fiction is different. It's like liking serial killer characters, noncon or any other toxic relationship. I don't see why it should be excluded from the idea that your tastes in media doesn't reflect your values.

Thanks for commenting in good faith and for being civil. I do appreciate that greatly.

I’m afraid I disagree somewhat in this instance- and my lack of accord revolves mostly around the idea that the majority of discourse in this context is in reference to fanfiction in particular.

Something like non-consensual sex or incest presented in the narrative of a novel is quite different to a fanfiction author taking characters out of their original context and having them participate in such activities. It is not used as social commentary in a larger narrative, it is not allegorical, not a literary device… It is usually an act of indulgence in a taboo act by proxy, at least intellectually. It’s not circumstantial that beloved characters (often relatable to the author or readership) are used for these explorations.

I do understand your positioning that enjoying media and its contents is not somehow an endorsement of actions therein. I agree!

I also acknowledge that fanfiction is not necessarily “lesser” under all circumstances than published fiction. There is absolutely some shitty published work out there lol.

But I do think that the majority of fanfiction in which characters written as siblings, as in the example given, are then placed into incestual scenarios is at the very least concerning. Often people argue they are coping with sexual abuse of their own to defend such things— in that case, sure, write it, but then why are you sharing it online? The inherently collaborative nature of fanfiction authors and their readership directly encourages sub-fandom development surrounding these reimaginings. It is in this way something like incest is normalized.

Moreover, I don’t think it should be surprising that the idea that people regularly enjoy imagining sibling characters engaging in incestuous acts is disturbing to people. The sheer ferocity alone with which people defend engaging in things like this, acting as if it is a normal thing to stumble upon people doing, is mind-boggling to me?? If one can hold that it is an upsetting concept to some in their mind, why are they shocked when people do get upset?

I can appreciate there are nuances here, and I attempted to address some of these— but, simultaneously, what I think is central to the issue to me is that people who are engaging with/writing/supporting fanfiction like this are so vehemently convinced that they are being somehow oppressed when others express genuine upset and discomfort over something that is… a genuinely upsetting and discomfiting topic. It’s fucking weird to learn someone you trust regularly thinks about characters in such a way. Especially because in fandom spaces it’s often frequent, repetitive engagements— no one who is “in a fandom” has but a passing interest, lol.

And I see often the phrase “thought crime” thrown around- the idea behind this centering on the concept that even though they consider and think about incest frequently, they are not engaging in it, so they’re innocent and their thoughts can and should not be policed. I’ve also seen people who support engaging with such content say it is ableist to be disturbed by someone else’s thoughts, as some disorders cause people to have intrusive thoughts which may center on topics not dissimilar. The thing is, I don’t disagree. These concepts are rational.

The issue is that they are not quite topical: an intrusive thought is much different than regularly choosing to ruminate on and consider something regularly, repeatedly, and even frequently… as is essentially the manner in which fandom engagement functions.

I’ve experienced intrusive thoughts myself— real, genuinely disturbing ones, thanks terrible anxiety and adhd cocktail— but they are not at all characteristic of/similar to the willing engagement of writing and reading fanfiction.

Overall, that is what I take issue with the most. Fanfiction in which incest is often the impetus of a short work “shipping” related characters in a manner not constructive to any larger narrative commentary— it is incest for incest’s sake.

It not akin to finding meaning or something compelling in a narrative which comments upon the human condition and uses a toxic , complicated relationship as a vehicle or framing device with which to do so.

Fanfiction is instead often de-(or re-)contextualized, centered on the incest, and indulgent (— in the manner that all fanfiction is indulgent).

That’s what I personally take great issue with, and it’s why I have to disagree with you. Even if people aren’t “arguing incest is good in real life,” I believe for the reasons outlined above that the collaborative, repetitive, frequent engagement with incest for incest’s sake, essentially, is harmful in the way it normalizes a vile and abusive act and concept.

Thanks for reading.

that tweet from crowsx3 saying tsp was in the same universe as scp has made me so very insane since i read it. literally so real though almost all of the stanley parable could be seamlessly put in the scp database. and i intend to do what others are too cowardly to and make fake articles for it

#talk tag #mimicking the database's grammar is tricky but rewarding to get right #at first i thought stanley would be considered safe but then i realized theres no way in hell he would be ok with containment #if he got out of the office to even be in scp facility presence he sure as hell would do his best to break out of there too #the narrator. im waffling very hard between keter and euclid #it feels odd to put him in keter bc he is so silly and goofy but at the same time #he is untrackable and able to manipulate his environment seemingly at will and could very easily make enemies with people #trying to trap him and stanley #idk!! maybe i'll just make him two classes . as a treat #i think both stanley and the narrator would freak the staff out a lot #since so much abt them is in limbo #they cant write down absolutes #its 'either/or's. its lists upon lists. its them scrambling to put this unknowability in a box they can understand #debating on including 432 as well. unsure atm #he would be keter for sure. hes literally the fabric of the universe. you cant contain or predict that shit. he has absolute control #i would put in the curator but i feel like her position of power is more supposed to mimic our own #she isnt an scp shes making the equivalent of a yt video abt this silly little video game. and also the foundation would never find her #ok wow tag ramble alert </3 happy pride have a slice of my insanity #tsp #if this goes in the tag im going to attack someone

#todsy the universe was kind to us ad we didnt have to collect samples on our transects so we finished after only like a couple hours #we had to do a lot of getting around on ATVs so we got back around 4.30 or something #the drive up was really pretty. lots of trees and streams bc we were going up in elevation it was v different #the site was also v pretty. lots of wildflowers. however. whatever was tossing out lots of pollin was murdering my face #i had snot literally pouring out of my face. it was crazy. it was like i was crying from my nose #sneezing all the time and my throat was tight if i walked to one side of the transects so i think it was the pine trees #my nose is so raw now and my lips are like horrifically chapped #like ive got that horrible sicky feeling u get when ur nose has running too much #like down the back of my throat. blah. #sigh... 2 sampling days left and then 2 dats if traveling #ive got a bad feeling abt tomorrow's site. hopefully im wrong #my boss keeps implying that i want to kill her and i csnt tell if its just bc that's what ppl say abt non talkative ppl or if im #just giving off horrible vibes. could b both. its so frustrating tho. like im not plotting anything. i just dont have anything to say rn #and irrationally i feel really guilty for not working on anything when i get back. which is insane bc im physical and mentality exhausted #but i just get back and draw whole time and not in a way that's even satisfying bc half my brain is still on high alert bc there r ppl #around. i sat outside and cried for like a minute bc im too aware of them to even have a proper cry #like i just keep looking at the windows like who's gonna see me? hhhh exhausting #and i think my boss has to finish a poster tonight and its 11 now and shes still in the room on the computer #am i gonna have to stay up until she finishes bc i get freaked out by ppl being awake while im asleep? maybe. i guess we'll find out #and i swear if i bleed thru these fucking sweatpants tonight im gonna lose it #fuck. i shoulf habe put on running shorts when i got ready for bed #now im stuck here 😑 #unrelated
