need to write meta about how ca arc subverts our expectations of both killua and gon as stable centerpieces of the show with reactions we can rely on and subverts and deconstructs the consistent characteristics we’ve relied on them for every arc

I’m clptp on Twitter, and Flowey on pillowfort for those curious!

I’m setting up an Asriel community and a Flowey community. (I know they’re one in the same but I know some people would like to see Flowey more and he’s a bit more niche to find material/discussions on)

Going to set up some other character communities and ship communities too.

something that’s really fucked up to me and really makes like… so many arguments in fandom sphere fall flat for me is like. i see abuse happen all the time on the daily people are constantly abusing one another treating each other shittily in toxic parent-child relationships or romantic relationships all around me

BUT
no, i shouldn’t write that in fiction!

It’s so jarring to me, I’m sorry. and most of the time it’s this… it just feels like people’s protections care so much more significantly about whether a fictional character is getting abused than a real person and it’s frustrating for me.

and people will argue, ah well it should just apply to ships, but romantic relationship abuse happens all the time it is not insignificant in people’s lives they should be able to write about it. so frustrating! im constantly frustrated by the way abuse has been discussed in fandom spaces so that people will 1. either advocate abusive relationships aren’t abusive to avoid being perceived negatively 2. or lambast anyone who does want to discuss abusive fictional relationships and call them ‘sick’
