In theory, maybe I get the “we’re all just playing with barbies, they’re fictional characters, no interpretation is incorrect because it’s an interpretation” argument. But actually no, not all takes are equally valid. Framing something as an interpretation doesn’t mean it inherently has merit. Some takes are completely incorrect and betray a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material. They just aren’t a reason to harass people or send death threats

I tend to favour fanfiction and fanart that are at least somewhat anchored in the source material, as that's the reason why I liked those characters in the first place. But if I come across fics and art that deviate substantially from canon in ways that I do not enjoy, I just scroll away... all this to say: don't spend your precious time and energy being mad over fiction. Curate your own media/cultural experience by scrolling away, paying attention to tags, blocking, etc. Most importantly, do not take your discomfort, anger, etc out on fanfic writers and fan artists.

when you ask a girl how she is and she says she's fine but actually she can't stop thinking about the missing year post-Daniel's turning because Armand says it's been three years since Dubai but Daniel says it's been two years of abandonment so what does that mean huh? what does it all mean?
