I have a dream that one day this fandom will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all tropes are created equal."
I have a dream that one day in the tags of Wattpad, the stories of creative small writers and the works of 2020 veterans will be able to walk the AOT hall of fame together as equals.
I have a dream that one day even the Attack on Titan tag of AO3, a site sweltering with the heat of oneshots, sweltering with the heat of porn without plot, will be transformed into an oasis of creativity and expression.
I have a dream that my insane plots I conjured in my head will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by how divergent it is but by the quality of its story.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Wattpad, with its fame aus, with its stories having their tags flooding with the words of "college" and "erenxreader" -- one day right there in Wattpad crime aus and dystopian aus will be able to join hands with college aus and canonverses as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every sentence shall be punctuated, and hits and kudos shall be made high, the comments will be made out of pocket and plentiful, and the ongoing stories places will be complete; "All great changes are preceded by chaos."
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the fandom with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our fandom into a beautiful symphony of stories. With this faith, we will be able to rejoice together, to pray together, to cry together, to go insane together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day — this will be the day when all of Wattpad’s children will be able to read and write with new meaning:
My fandom 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Place where my favorite characters died, land of the Jaegerists’ pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if Attack on Titan is to be a great fandom, this must become true.
And so let creative expression ring from the prodigious stories of Wattpad.
Let creative expression ring from the abundance of tags of AO3.
Let creative expression ring from the down bad writers of Tumblr.
Let creative expression ring from the now abandoned Fanfiction.net.
But not only that:
Let creative expression ring from remains of Tiktok.
Let creative expression ring from arising Rednote.
Let creative expression ring from every pin and board of Pinterest.
From every website and app, let creative expression ring.
And when this happens, when we allow creative expression to ring, when we let it ring from every summary and title, from every story and every author, we will be able to see that day when all of our children, college aus and fame aus, dystopian aus and futuristic aus, space aus and historic aus, will be able to join hands and prosper in popularity and appreciation of the old Wattpad spiritual:
Read at last! Read at last!
Thank Jaeger Almighty, we are read at last!
