compersion & limerence

I can't wade into Purity Discourse on Twitter, or rather I won't (and not like DW is better, given that it's primarily a fandom space, but I do seemingly need to say somewhere publically): oh my fucking GOD the TWITTER DISCOURSE about Tamsyn Muir's old fic is driving me so far up the wall I am taking up residence on the fucking roof, could everyone....stop..........with it. Would that I had something smart or new, but I have been in fandom for circa 1.5 years, which is not very long, and I can tell it's the same ring-around-the-rosy and it's so boring. Tags are great, archive warnings are great, taking works down is shitty, 'glorifying pedophilia' is a bad take, free market of fanfiction!

( did nabokov glorify it, anyway? )

anyway: have you seen the trailer for Portrait of a Lady on Fire? wow does it look fun.
