Ok so if you heard Fuze's voice before you saw his age, how old would you have guessed he would be? I'm asking because I see a lot of people saying that he sounds pretty young and I struggle with tones of voices so idk.
Iâm far from being an expert in judging peopleâs age by their voice, but yes, Fuze sounds pretty young, imo. In fact, I would have said he was younger than Glaz, not the other way around đ€Â Â
a writer who writes the most fucked up âdead dove: do not eatâ problematic pairing and fully tags and warns for the content they create will always be worthy of more respect in my eyes than people who call others weirdos because of who they ship.
This is because a writer who writes disturbing things but gives me plenty of warning about them has demonstrated, regardless of what happens in the fic, that they value the consent of real people, and that they value my consent to see such content and will always offer me the option to avoid or withdraw.
On the other hand, a purity cultist who demands I explain my trauma and exactly why I might be drawn to dark content, regardless of whether theyâre the purest fluff writer to ever write, has demonstrated a lack of respect for my boundaries and the attitude that they are entitled to whatever they want to take from me.Â
There are a lot of things that bother me about purity culture, but I think the most disturbing is that it clouds the very definition of consent, and then teaches this confusing version (you must consent to deep dives into your trauma and how it affects you for the benefit of strangers who have already decided youâre a bad person, and not consenting to that automatically makes you an abuser, also no one can consent to reading or thinking about disturbing content ever because thinking about it means you want it irl) to young, vulnerable, and often traumatized individuals, thus making it harder to understand their trauma and easier for them to ignore the real warning signs of abuse (like demanding that you agree with the abuser otherwise youâre literally the worst and most harmful person ever) because it teaches that abusers only come in one type, and that all abusers are ânasty shippersâ.
This is especially dangerous because real life abusers teach their victims that the abuse is happening because the victim is a bad, evil person. One of the diagnostic criteria for PTSD is literally âPlaces undue blame on themself or others for what happenedâ. Teaching traumatized people that consent is a luxury only âgoodâ people are allowed to have is incompatible with support for abuse survivors.
tl;dr a writer who tags âdead dove: do not eatâ has demonstrated respect for the necessity of consent. A purity cultist who sends anon hate has demonstrated a lack of respect for consent.Â
Kikiâs Delivery Service is one of those movies that I feel any aspiring artist should see. The struggle of Kiki in this movie is one that ANYONE who wants to further themselves goes through, that transition from taking what you love to do to something that you make a living off of.
As artists we have all been in the place where Kiki is. That place where we canât draw anything right, canât paint anything right, canât sculpt anything right, that place where everything comes out wrong over and over and we begin to question if weâre actually good enough for the talents and skills that used to come to us like second nature when we were just using them for fun. That place where we want to give up because we suddenly canât âflyâ like we want to, because everything seems too difficult to do that.Â
But that doesnât mean it isnât there, just because it isnât working right then and there when you want it to be. If you can always fly, then it wouldnât make those times when you did as special. It isnât necessarily easy to grow up, nor is it necessarily easy to live with the artistic struggle of losing inspiration. But you canât just throw up your hands and say âNo, I canât do it anymoreâ because youâll NEVER fly if you do that.Â
Whatâs funny is that both your requests came in right after another, @catapples and anon! Thank you so much for your nice words, too †Donât worry, Iâll be writing more Bandit/JĂ€ger in the future :) I hope this is to both your liking!! (Rating T, angst/comfort, ~1.3k words)
