Curate, connect, and discover
I have ranting to do!!!
I am so so so tired of fandoms mostly ignoring all the F/F ships, I myself love some M/M, and if it's truly well written I will even read some F/M, but why, in the ever loving fuck, do we ignore the sapphics????
I was reading ao3 (as one does) and I was trying to find an F/F fic for a fandom that has over 500 THOUSAND FUCKING FICS, and all the sapphics ones were either very short, poorly written, or were shoved into the background. There were only about 35 fics longer than 2,500 worlds that were solely focused on sapphics.
I genuinely can't wrap my head around why we neglect sapphic stories so much. There are so many interesting and heartfelt pairs of women that almost no one does justice to, and I don't know why. Obviously there will always be more M/M representation because we live in a patriarchal society, so the characters are wayyyy more likely to be fleshed out. But why oh why can we as a community write good sapphic material with out over sexualization or shoving them into the background and then quietly killing them off screen?????
I just want to be able to filter for F/F and not go from 1,000 fics to like 20, I want to be able to be picky, but I literally can't.
IDK what else to say, I'm just a little sad and disappointed, if anyone has any sapphic fic recs of fandoms that focus on sapphics without killing them in the end, I am all ears.
I love STEM so much, but by God I cannot hold back my want to create and experience art
Okay, I have some ranting to do. I am a STEM student, I'm going into engineering in the future, but because I'm still in school, I'm exposed to soamy different fields, and some friends of mine convinced me to do theater next year, and it sparked this thought.
I used to do art all the time, and now I feel so disconnected, it's like once you decide you want to go into a STEM field you aren't allowed to be artistic any more which is so fucking stupid. The point of Engineering at least is to be creative and to solve issues, and you cannot fill that if you have no connection to your own creative side through some kind of art.I am being a bit dramatic, but it's so dumb to shun STEM students away from art, we want to create any way we can,and yet are constantly told to channel that into more math and science, instead of being allowed to take a pause and just have fun with our creativity.
Obviously I can't really make a living off of art, but I think if I didn't have to worry about money in the future, I would simply spend all my time doing whatever art sparks interest. But instead I have had to make peace with the fact that if I want to have a stable source of income, and not want to kill myself, I would have to go into STEM and leave my love for art behind.
And that is a truly horrible thing
