Inbox wank is the fandom equivalent of unsolicited dick pics

[whenasinsilks]

It's been an utterly exhausting week--two days of twelve hour shifts followed by two days of sixteen hour ones, the last of which saw me having an emotional breakdown in the back room (good thing my coworkers are so nice)--and now, on my day off, I sit down to work on the latest chapter update and open tumblr to find some passive aggressive asks about all the reasons some anon thinks dom Steve is wrong and sub Steve is right, and again I ask myself, why am I still even ON tumblr?

I could go into a whole rant about the absurdity of trying to limit fandom--by its nature a space for transformation--to a single interpretation of a fundamentally non-canonical concept (MCU SteveTony is NOT CANON guys--it's nowhere even close, so in talking about the 'correct' ways of writing SteveTony, we're talking a two degree separation from anything with any possible degree of authority, and again this is FANDOM GUYS SO FUCK AUTHORITY), or about how trying to argue who likes to dom or sub based on personality is only slightly less unenlightened than the whole bottom-top discourse, but other people have already done that at length and better than I could so instead I'll just say

jeez, I really hope this hasn't killed my mojo on one of the two possible writing days I have this week.

The correct canon way to write Stony debates (ten years and counting! funfunfun!) are so exhausting. I believe the correct response is, "Fuck you, I do what I want!"

Besides, dom steve is hot.

aw man, fuck the sub steve anon. LET EVERYONE WRITE THEIR GOOD FUN PORN. either is good. switching is good. kinks without d/s dynamics are good. sex is allowed to be complex and mutable and to insist that there's one proper way to do it based on fandom interpretation of a character's personality is some heteropatriarchal hegemonic bullshit.

sorry anon harshed your vibe -- i hope you can get it back <3

(also, wasting my young years by london grammar is an emotionally devastating song, A+ music taste)
