i mean, sure, there are far too many problematic/mid intl novels
and fictional books are meant to be read and consumed, not to be used as moral guidelines
but bfr, gusto niyo ba talagang makilala ang filipino lit through her misogynistic and borderline repetitive stories?
unlicensed people talking about transformative works lol. the only reason fanfiction has any right to exist is because it has no material benefit to the creator. the second you argue that you have legal protection, you lose your fair use defense and you're the infringer.

ALSO people have the right to lurk. They have the right to read, enjoy something/not enjoy something and do absolutely nothing about that. You working touching them doesn't entitle you to their vulnerability in expressing that. Some of y'all are getting extremely egotistical.

Maybe the most romantic thing someone can give you isn't butterflies, it's certainty. Knowing a difficult conversation won't make them leave, their affection won't vanish with a bad mood, knowing you don't have to perform to be loved.

This is also why a lot of people don’t write. They worry everything has already been said. Turns out yes, someone probably said it 500 years ago. But they didn’t say it through your particular experience, at this exact moment
Sometimes we write to contribute to the collective discourse of the universe, and sometimes we write to make sense of our own lives. Both are good reasons to write

Lo más amable que hace la literatura es recordarte que tus pequeños sentimientos peculiares siempre han existido. Alguien, en algún siglo, se sintió igualmente confundido por el amor, aburrido por la sociedad, cansado de actuar y hambriento de significado.
