I know that aroallo-ness has it's own struggles, amatanormativity and heteronormativity hate us all in unique and intersecting ways and it definitely sucks for aroallo folk (especially with how I've seen plenty of people talk about how they get the least explicit canon rep in fiction out of all the aro/ace combos) ...but sometimes it feels like a lot of aroallo people start taking that frustration out on aroace/ace-ness, instead of amatanormativity/heteronormativity and the aphobic/uncaring allo folk who enforce it. Y'know, the people who actually dislike aromanticism and asexuality, and who really don't give a shit about nuanced and varied aro rep.

moderatequeer/modqueer

yk because instead of radicals we're moderates, and we're also moderates because we're not going to tell people to kill themselves

I wanted to reblog the ask about modqueer you sent to My other sideblog! Thanks for sending it here!

I think ARQRN could definitely serve as an umbrella to stances like modqueer, though I think it would be good for modqueer to be defined on its own, possibly with more specific stances than I offered under the ARNRQ flag, or even the anti-normal flag.

Oh, I'm mostly just being silly, as is my way. 😄 I will say the hand-wringing about the series was a major thief of my joy before the show came out, though. Years spent begging for it to happen and then pretty much everyone started talking about how sure they were that it was going to be bad? That kinda sucked, I'm not gonna lie.

I get it: people were worried it would just be Vader Being a Badass or that they were going to try to, I dunno, appease dudebros by making half the show about Vader killing people? Or that it could break continuity? Or that these people were really being literal when we all joked (I thought) for years about just wanting 6 hours of Obi-Wan crying alone? (Which, while we all know I'd watch it, is, in fact, not a story.)

I guess I sort of know why there were concerns. I just eyerolled SO MUCH when so many people flipped out about Kathy Kennedy saying something like it'd be "the rematch of the century" or whatever, like, the fuck else WOULD she say? "It's gonna be subdued and boring"? "We're bringing Vader in for no reason"? Of course she's gonna say something like that. Hyping Star Wars is literally part of her JOB. The whole thing just struck me as over the top. We wouldn't know what we were gonna see until we saw it, and I guess when it comes to Star Wars I just don't like to preemptively feel angst about it.

I'm starting to find this whole continuation of the "is Agents of Shield canon or not anymore?" argument on online journalism/blog sites hilarious.

Who cares? It legitimately sounds like a game of telephone where people are trying to stir up discourse just for the sake of debate. I understand it's a job to discuss such things, but there's way more interesting fictional topics to talk about, especially in the MCU right now.

Writers of the show and even Clark Gregg during his time as a producer have discussed that they stuck true to canon in the first half or their series' run and veered off to follow other lesser-known comic stories. And that some

It's okay to be both canon and non-canon because that can be how fiction works. No shame in that. Canon isn't better than non-canon and vis-versa. The arguably most important thing is that people can enjoy both, however that may be.

Personally, I still believe Agents of Shield is canon because of a few of the show's own nods to the comics (for example, when the Darkhold is first introduced in Season Four, it's regarded as an object that can take different appearances, just as how it looks different in WandaVision) as well as some nods in the Disney Plus shows.

Also, really, it's all fiction. The comics, original television series, and the MCU properties all mix and match with each other as best as they can, so who cares if things aren't fully canon or morph into something that is considered less canonical?

It's fiction, which people enjoy for the characters and stories because that--in my humble opinion--is more valuable than how accurately things fit into category/timeline/whatever.
