Phyre, I have a notion. Go out of the window. Trust me. about. he/him. vergil. tracking: #usergamer.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

If the text says the curtains are blue you can argue about what that means; but if you’re going to claim they’re actually yellow you’d better have a really good argument.

i know the curtains better than the author. thank you for coming to my ted talk

Fandom has such unresolved mommy/daddy issues about authors. If you apply a little reading comprehension skills to my original post you’ll see I didn’t say anything at all about the author. You guys always make “interpretation” about your beef with the author. You’re all obsessed with the author. This post is just about deciphering what is there in canon. Figuring out what is being communicated by the canon itself with all the words and images and basic formal elements that are there in canon. That’s all it’s about. It really doesn’t matter if the author intentionally put all those things there in a pattern that might support the idea that this one character’s queer. That’s not what this is about. What matters is if you can compellingly argue there’s a pattern of evidence there. Or not. Everyone is conspiring together to make me go insane still adding shit about authorial intent on my post.

I love you autistic dissociative trans men who grew up being treated as fundamentally Not Right on all fronts, to the point you sometimes secretly weren't sure you're even from this planet. I love you. You do belong here, and it is possible to build a life that is bigger than just the profound discomfort and numbness you oscillate between.

swifties always going on the "you just hate women" defense like first of all Taylor Swift is not a woman she's an unskippable ad

actually yes this needs to be kept as part of this conversation
