#thoughts about stuff

Like all these jokes about space marines, chaosites and "there's only war" narrative you hear from outside the fandom made you think that warhammer is about endless, mindless battles and talks about honor only when in reality it's way more deep than that. It has place for small stories about traumas and healing, for a little laugh and even peace, and, of course, for love and hope. Sometimes it really does make me cry real tears, and this is not what I expected from "peak male fantasy" (quoting the internet here).

Okay so... To not fall into absolute puritanism, one has to point out that a "Little Red Riding Hood costume" is more meant to reflect a famous design, an iconic visual, rather than what the character really is about. It is like sexy Snow Whites. Sexy Bo Peep. Sexy Robin Hood. Sexy Disney Evil Queen. Sexy Cruella. Sexy Smurfette.

I mean, when you go for sexy Smurf you don't think much about the logic of it or the consequences. The whole point of the "sexy costumes" is basically just to take an icon, in the literal sense - a recognizeable image, a pop culture staple. And have erotic fun with it.

To start saying that "sexy Little Red Riding Hood" is basically supporting pedophilia would be like saying that a "sexy nurse outfit" is the proof that you have a fetish for disease or that a "sexy maid outfit" reflects how you defend an ancient Victorian view of the classes of society. It has some logical grounds, but it is still a bit of a stretch.

TBH, when I created my AO3 account, I did so with the intention of posting a Fire Emblem: Three Houses fan fic I was working on, but I stalled out around 17,000 words & never posted it. Possibly, something could be salvaged of that — a ficlet or two carved out from its bones. But I think I'd be more excited to write something for Supernatural these days, IDK.
