Huntersroses - Thorny But Free

i feel like being in a fandom long-term has a very specific repetitive cycle that kind of looks like this

Some crispr guy needs to give me tiefling horns irl, it's gender affirming care

having religious trauma from the most boring of churches is such a unique experience. stained glass and high ceilings dont mean anything. but dingy basements and hotel bibles mean everything. my religious trauma (and i would assume a lot of others) isnt as pure as what is shown. its gross basements, hand-me-down bibles, wooden chairs that look like theyre at least 50 years old, vhs tapes and big box tvs, ugly carpet, and "god bless you" instead of i love you.

Tensimm to me is 'I would fix him but whatevers wrong with him is funnier'

Harrowing: someone in your Fandom just made an innocuous and harmless post that nonetheless betrays a deep misunderstanding of the character and the character's narrative purpose and you just have to sit there and let them be wrong lest you be an asshole
