i started writing original fiction because of a comment i got on a house md fic i wrote when i was 12 years old. someone said “this is out of character, house and wilson would never act like this.” so i thought, “if i make my own characters, no one can ever tell me they’re out of character, because i decide,” and i started planning my first novel. now i’m 23 and i’ve written 4 novel-length works, i have a degree in publishing and i work at a literary magazine, largely because someone insulted my house fanfiction. follow your dreams.
the babadook being reshaped by tumblr into a gentle friendly figure (and lgbt icon) is the logical progression of the babadook as a metaphor for depression and grief into the babadook as metaphor for the fact that even though you cant avoid being shaped by your past negative experiences that doesn’t mean you cant get to a point where you will be able to spread positivity to others and love yourself as the person you have become
