Damn, this hits so many good notes with me, because really now. I need to make us shirts that say "I'm just not interested in a story that doesn't have any compelling female characters." BECAUSE SAME. And that seems to be a thing within M/M fics for at least the past two decades - you know, the excluding any and all females bit because they weren't compelling enough in canon or whatever and thus are just In The Way. Which to me, I just see that as an excuse to adopt said female characters and give them the proper home canon refused to give them.
I've been seeing that with F/F ships too. The needing to be "pure" part. On one hand, yes, I'd really love to see more positive queer examples anywhere like I need damn air to survive. BUT. Just give me delicious villain/villain setups. Or villain/heroine. Something dark with layers. Like a chocolate ganache cake I can eat on my kitchen floor at 3am. Note to self, maybe write these kinds of things seeing that NO ONE ELSE IS
The best Tumblr was able to do was the sideblog things, but then female-presenting nipples were Not Okay, so here we are lol I do miss the LJ days of being able to separate things like that. Now I'm just... too exhausted to give a crap. If people can't handle me at my smuttiest, then they don't deserve me at my fluffiest.
