Okay so like. Engaging with fiction in a transformative capacity is usually subversive, yes? Like underrepresented groups talking back to the mainstream about what life REALLY looks like. Like even in fantastical AUs, creating fan work is about taking something that inspires you and reshaping it so that it better reflects and represents the world as you see it, right? To some extent, anyway.

Like. This is the reason that I find sher/lolly and ad/lock and war/stan so deeply frustrating. Because they take a queer story and force it back into heteronormative conventionality again. And then they call us delusional, drooling fetishizers for seeing the queer story, even though they’re the ones forcing heterosexuality onto situations where the narrative has explicitly dismissed it. Like. Can’t y'all let us have this one little thing? You really think we’re that undeserving? Like. Damn. That hurts my feelings.
