september's coming soon

This was originally a post about the depiction of race in human!AU Zootropolis fanart (yes Nick is a victim of racism but drawing him as a white man only becomes racist-per-definition if you insist on reading the film as an allegory strictly of the contemporary US, and there are numerous indications that he is in fact meant to be read as white, now go wank about how it's racist to depict a white person as a victim of racism and stay clueless about how ethnic discrimination works in all other parts of the world)

Outside of discovering my new favourite 3D animated film, I've been following and slowly growing disillutioned with Banana Fish, because I've also been watching Sailor Moon on my work commute and it's just so much more fun. And, yanno, it can frankly state that people are gay without also having to make a point out of how they're rapists and-slash-or pedophiles.

I've been reading stuff in no language relevant to the internet, except I've recently been reading Emilia Galotti and I expected something poetic and parodically sentimental, but good god it is genuinely funny (I mean, for being a story ending with an honor killing). I'm finding that I enjoy reading drama a lot more than I thought I could, and that has set me wondering about the dialogue-fic you'd once upon a time find on FFN. I never understood why people would write dialogue-only fic, but if my stint of reading drama has proven anything, it is that I can certainly see why people might enjoy reading it.
