Happy year of the rabbit everyone!
I am trying to overcome this slug I have become and write some Stiles/Jackson teen wolf nonsense but even tho its barely 9am people are already stressing me out enough I had to medicate.
Provided I don’t get the sleepies for the rest of the day I’m going to try alternating one episode of The Magnus Archives and 10-15 min writing sprints.
Just….see how it goes.

There's lots of talk out there about working through trauma via dark fanfiction. I'm not saying anything against that - there's nothing wrong with it. But I do think there's an unfortunate implication being made in a lot of those posts. Accidentally or not, the implication being made is that trauma is the reason people enjoy dark content. That there needs to be a justification at all.
Guys, trauma is not the only reason to enjoy dead dove do not eat content. You don't need trauma to justify liking it. You don't need anything to justify liking it. You can just...like it. I get the point of those posts is to stop people from harping on others when they might be digging into said trauma, or harassing others for their coping methods, which is definitely wrong - but let's be clear in our intent and not alienate people that are just here for the fun of it. Let's not make people think they need a reason to enjoy what they do.
You don't need trauma to justify liking dark things. You can just like it and if that's all there is to it, that's perfectly okay.
horror movies, serial killer documentaries, splatterhouse-type games, etc - these are billion-dollar industries
there is a real, valid, profitable part of the human psyche that loves dark shit when it’s in a situation we can control
what do you think is the appeal of roller coasters? danger, controlled
i don’t give one single solitary shit what your particular dark fic itch is. seriously, i don’t care. it doesn’t matter. yes, even whatever super gross objectionable thing you just thought of - it literally doesn’t matter. unless real, live, non-hypothetical people are hurt in the making of a thing, that’s just how humans be. sometimes we gaze into the abyss, to see if we can handle it when the abyss gazes back.
I want the writer’s strike to last until they get everything they demand and more. I want the SAG strike to last until AI is entirely forbidden across the board in the entire industry. I want CGI artists to unionize and strike. I want animators to strike. I want composers and directors and designers and VAs and techies and producers and stage hands and game devs and programmers and recording artists to strike.
I want every aspect of the entertainment industry brought to a grinding halt for months or even years to take it from the corps and put it back in the hands of the artists.
