you guys asked for more paintings of these two dorks together so here's one xD

I start all my posts and messages with “and” and “also” because thanks to ADHD I do not experience the linear progression of time and every thought leads into the next one it is an interconnected web of existence and you are all the mosquitos on which I feast

I do think one important piece to add back to OP's post is - Pay attention to nuance *in real life.* Someone liking fiction that has zero nuance doesn't mean that they ascribe zero nuance to their real lives any more than people liking fictional villains makes them villains in their real lives. Sometimes people get exhausted of the gray spaces they inhabit every day in the real world with real people, and fiction is their pleasant escape from that reality for a while. A way to de-stress that harms zero real people. And this, too, is as valid as any other story preference.

Nuance is far more important as a tool for remembering the equal humanity of someone who loves the kinds of stories you hate, then it is as a tool for writing The Best Kind Of Literature.

(Though it can, of course, make for some damn good literature, too!)

90% of arguments about media could just be solved by saying “different people like different things in their stories” and leaving it at that

The whole crew! It’s been way too long since I’ve last drawn atla fanart so here it is <3

I’m alive.

And i brought the fanart ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

ok i think what gets me about the kind of post that's like '[children's media] has child soldiers, where are their parents!!' is that those stories really and truly aren't for people who'll think about that, they're for the people the children's age, who don't, for the most part, want to be kept safe or told they're too young to participate in the world, they want to be given a sword
