It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.
That is a bonkers assumption to make.
I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.
I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.
so I was thinking of maybe trying the 3 different ways to start the Tails doll curse…….You know for science…….Yeah that’s it. Anyways was playing the Sonic Gems Collection on my GameCube trying to beat all the games on there. Only managed to beat the fighting game on it so far though. But I did try playing a bit of Sonic R playing as regular Tails. I’m atrocious at any and all racing games so it did not go well. I was also looking a bunch of stuff up about Tails doll while listening to a loop of Can You Feel The Sunshine and hugging my Tails plushie. I go to bed and I have a weird dream about the Tails doll I don’t remember everything about the dream just bits and pieces. I remember I had to do some kind of quest or ritual or something in my house at night in certain rooms doing certain things with a regular Tails doll. I don’t know how I knew to do this I just did. I had to do this for a couple of nights and then I don’t remember if my tails plushie turned into the Tails doll or if the Tails doll just appeared but he smiled at me and said I’m coming with him. I asked him if I did something wrong in the ritual and he frowned a bit before smiling again and saying I did do something wrong. He then proceeded to tell me about a small mistake I made during one of the nights but that it’s ok but I still have to go with him. It’s weird because I don’t remember feeling scared at all. And then I woke up fell back asleep and had a completely different dream with the Tails doll. It was weird but not scary I didn’t feel like I was in danger. Oh I also remember I was sucking up to my Tails plushie a lot in the dream talking to it and giving it hugs and kisses each night I was doing the ritual. I wouldn’t call the dream a nightmare or bad dream or anything it was just a bit unexpected. I don’t think it means anything but it was still pretty cool to have and I thought I’d share it. This is a picture of the Tails plushie in my dream/the one I was holding while sleeping. It is currently the only Plushie of Tails that I own at the moment.
