It doesn't have to be perfect.

Whatever you are or it is you do or want to give. It doesn't have to be perfect for your f/o to love you.

Their love isn't conditional.

Any event you want to plan with them, any gift you want to give, but especially anything you want to be, it doesn't have to be perfect. They love the imperfect you, with all the ups and downs, all the little quirks and bumps along the road.

They love you because with you everything feels real. There's no need for perfection, no need for pretense.

i miss him (fictional character)

The incest man Andrew Graves from the hit game The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is peak gender envy for me.

I never understood the sentiment of "I can't tell if I want to be xyz or be with xyz" before him, but I sure do now I guess.

Tbh idek why he was the one who did it for my trans ass. I mean, you can literally put any fluffy, black-haired loser white boy with a vaguely alt style on my plate, and I'd likely call him gender. Andy is just built different I guess.

One thing I find infinitely funny is the "reading/writing xyz fiction is gonna normalize it to you" and "reading/writing xyz fiction will make you do it" arguments, cuz I've been reading darkfiction since my teen life began.

[ Rant about personal experiences and such under the cut ]

Like, should I have been reading yandere and non-con fanfics/oneshots/headcanons when I was 12/13? No, obviously not, but it did go to show one thing for me: That the arguments mentioned above hold no water.

I've been reading this shit my entire teen life, you know, during most of my formative years, and I have yet to SA/rape/stalk/murder/whatever anyone, or find any of it okay irl.

Hell, I've reported someone at my IT school to the teachers/social workers cuz they were showing stalker-ish/parasocial tendencies towards some random ass guy they didn't even know the name of nor talk to. ( They held anti beliefs as well which I find ironic. )

Same goes for age gap/pedophilia/incest/etc. While those things are newer stuff I'm into/have come to accept in fiction, I still hate my family, I still cut contact with a really close irl friend cuz they were 21 and dating a 16 year old ( legal in both countries but it's obv unethical, ) and so on.

Antis just have weak ass morals, though I think that's pretty known by now lmao.

I actually agree that fiction affecting reality has a lot of nuance that is often just skipped over. Other things that matter, too, is your education/state of mind.

Fx. if you read a lot of books that portrays xyz as working like abc, and you're uninformed about the subject, then you're more likely to think it works like that. (You can see this in stuff like smut fanfics where the authors write stuff that makes it obvious they've never had sex, or with men writing women that makes you question if they've ever interacted with the opposite sex.)

Or alternatively, if you're in a delusional/unsound state of mind, then you're more likely to believe fiction to be reality. Fx. I personally struggle with delusions in regards to cognito-hazard creepypastas like PHEN-228 and Smile Dog, but I luckily know it's irrational and have coping mechanisms, but some may not and/or be unaware of their condition. (Another example is the famous Slenderman case that some antis love to bring up)

Obviously this just comes down to educating people and providing proper support for the mentally ill, but it's still a thing to consider when discussing if fiction affects reality.

On top of all that there's also your tolerance of differentiating fiction from reality before it starts to affect you/your views on reality negatively, and your level of media literacy. I haven't really thought either of those points out fully to talk about them in this context, ( at least not without pulling shit out of my ass on the spot, ) but I know they obv also affect it, too, in one way or another.

Personally I also think it's healthy for fiction to affect you to some extent. Obviously you have to be careful and/or self-aware with how much it affects you, but crying over a movie, getting off to whatever fantasy you're into over fanfiction instead of bottling it up, using fiction to cope with trauma, and so on are obviously healthy ways fiction affects reality.

On the flip-side there's also ways fiction can affect you negatively. Fx. if you read something triggering, if you read something that makes you extremely upset, and/or if you read so much of xyz it starts to warp your view on the world. At that point it comes down to moderation. Either of how much fiction you consume, or what type of fiction you consume.

Either way, no matter how much fiction affects reality, none of it should be censored, due to the fact the fiction isn't the underlying problem.

Fiction affecting reality has way more nuance than “it does” or “doesn’t”. I personally believe it has to do with someone’s mindset, and if they allow it too. Again, this is just my opinion, and I’m okay with people trying to have civil debates or conversations about this topic!
