Her own stolen Trinket

Oh hey I just realized I didn't ever introduce Trinket over here.



He is a lab/pyrenees mix (I suspect, like, maybe 3/4 of one and a quarter of the other), he is probably at or approaching 5 months old, and with any luck he is going to be my service dog!

At the moment, though, he is just a Naughty Soot Demon with an injured paw who is only just now allowed to be around strange dogs (and therefore in training) bc now he has the most important shots.

Honestly I feel like that's just a matter of what people you found where, because I don't think I EVER had that hard line feeling in my own personal fandom social group, and I've been in fandoms since 2002. Like, I knew they existed, but I never ran up against them myself. I actually personally found more resistance to ships/crossing shipping lines on tumblr than I did on previous sites.

I just wanted to mention that as a potentially comforting thing? It literally is about the people you surround yourself with, you can find good open-minded people on whatever platform you're on. AND given that the more open-minded situation is more the norm these days than hard lines, I think you'll have a lot of luck with that.

...just to make this more positive.

Potter was really hardline with shipping, who was shipped with whom, especially amongst the main three characters. Even writers in the 'gay' ships had some pretty homophobic ideas about what was a 'real' relationship. Friendships broke up over who they thought would top or bottom. (Changing it up in your stories was seen as a bit weird.) Communities were really separate based on shipping lines. A friend of mine ran one of the fests that was open to multiships, I wrote for that a bunch of times. It was a great little fest, but I'd still get weird comments from people sometimes who didn't approve of the ship or dynamic I chose to write.
