I sincerely apologize for spamming you all with the Hamilton fanfic controversy, but it’s really giving me so much strength. It’s been a while since we’ve had the kind of scandal that only Tumblr can provide (like the person who robbed graves; the person who mailed their toe to another person so they could make a necklace of it; etc). This scandal is just so fucking good, you know? White American college girl pretends to be a nonbinary Chinese-Pakistani Muslim human-trafficking survivor AND their American WOC wife and they live in India??? And they suffered a miscarriage? And they both have HIV? All so she can scam people out of money and amass kudos on Archive of Our Own for her Hamilton HIV fanfic? And she does this for YEARS? And the person who uncovered it is doing it for revenge because the fake-HIV-fanfic writer made them delete a fanfic about Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Jefferson as cannibal mermaids performing oral sex and unironically accused them of gentrifying cannibalism??? I mean, this shit is fucking gold.
being a maladaptive daydreamer and getting into a new fandom is a wild ride bc ur entire mental world just kinda shifts into completely different territory
Im honestly not understanding where the disconnect is…like why do men undervalue platonic relationships with women? if a woman is not into you sexually or romantically but wants to be your friend why is that seen as some sort of cheap consolation prize….also theirs the gross thing that men do where they take you (as a woman) saying “no, i just wanna be friends” as some sort of challenge, or obstacle to be overcome…like they’ll be your friend with the motive of convincing you that your feelings were wrong and that you do actually have romantic feelings for them.
