Blorbofication - Tumblr Posts

I feel like I’ve seen this idea floating around that the way someone interprets a piece of media has to be serious and deeply analytical, and that things like “shipping” are trivial and disrespect the art of the original piece of work. I want to come out and say that I believe you can deeply enjoy a piece of work and analyze its complexities while ALSO being silly about it. Blorbofication of characters can exist in the same space as character analysis, they don’t have to be mutually exclusive. It’s important to remember that characters are *tools* and not people, and they are tools that you are free to use and modify how you’d like. A misinterpretation of a character does not erase the original intent of how they’re written.
