fUCK

Oh. My. God.

If only all fan wars could be settled this way. The world would be a better place.

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade

We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think

You said it better than I could. Of all the inane and ridiculous things I've seen in my notes because of this post, "I NEED to say fuck you to strangers or I will literally die" is certainly one of them

leonard mccoy literally carried spock's soul around. sometimes i remember and think about this, like REALLY think about it. they were together in his head. spock mind melded with him and said, remember, and put his katra in him. bones walked around with spock's soul in himself. talking about "not logical" and trying to do the vulcan pinch on someone and talking on spock's voice and whatever else. "how are we doing?" "how are WE doing? funny you should put it quite that way, jim. WE are doing fine". etc. he carried his soul. "i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)" etc etc. can anyone hear me
