Fitz When He Was Looking For Sophie: Theres Nothing Rich Folks Love More Than Going Downtown And Slummin

fitz when he was looking for sophie: there’s nothing rich folks love more than going downtown and slummin’ it with the poor! :)

preach

fitz and his anger issues

* cursing is involved * kinda? flashback spoilers

(pls don’t be angry this is just my opinion. sorry if i came off too strong)

alright guys i’ve been quiet for too long. there’s been so much discourse about fitz and i’m finally throwing my opinion onto the table.

ready? great.

fitz is a goddamn character. and guess what? character’s are supposed to have flaws. some of you are over here getting angry at fitz for having anger issues, but then before those anger issues really showed ya’ll were angry at him for being the ‘perfect character’.

i’m sorry but make up your fucking mind!

characters are supposed to have flaws, and not every character can have that 2D 'aw i’m insecure but in reality i’m really hot’ flaw. they need to have the 'i am in a bad place and need help’ flaw.

not all characters will be perfect.

not all characters should be perfect.

and not all character’s flaws should be fixed immediately.

stop hating on him. stop going to the extreme and even saying he should have died in flashback! stop saying he never should have woke up!

i don’t love fitz, guys.

but i don’t hate him.

so put on your adult pants and grow the hell up.

This video is SO slept on... every atla fan should see it. @rufiozuko

what with all this talk of fanfic and ai and feeding other people's work without permission into ai programmes to 'finish' a fanfic or whatever... it's just showing how people see fic as 'content'? a fanfic as something mass-produced and official, something to consume at a distance and then talk about in a vacuum? something to use for your own purposes and something over which you have a claim?

fanfic is written by fans like you. written out of love and passion and a lot of effort and hard work, so that the author can share their enthusiasm for the characters and stories with other fans. like you. they aren't these untouchable, faceless people above you – they're your peers. gifsets, fanart, fanfic – they're all made by your peers. mutuals. friends.

if you want to know more about the fic, talk to the author! so many fic writers leave their socials in the end notes of their fics – talk to them! they're not going to be affronted or judgemental. chances are, they're going to be over the moon that you like their work and want to engage and discuss the characters and the themes etc. they made you happy with their fic, and you would be making them so happy in return! (and what does a happy writer do? write more!)

as a fic writer, I made one of my closest tumblr friends because she read my fic and left a really nice comment, and then we got talking and brainstorming loads of headcanons and fic ideas together! fic writers want to talk! if you enjoy someone's presence and contributions in a fandom, let them know!

and for the love of all that is good, don't feed someone's hard work into an ai programme!!! whether you post it (which is just horrible tbh) is beside the point – you're facilitating the plagiarism of their fic!

getting back into being an active member in fandoms is seeing all of your mutual’s also not having posted since 2020 💀
