maybe she keeps it short because of trauma.

[(Anonymous)]

I am happy to headcanon that years of magical super growth that c was abruptly stopped basically completely fucked up her normal hair growth, and it just doesn't grow anymore (or if it does it grows super slowly). And once she realised that she didn't want to cut her hair any shorter (and, as the user above said, trauma - focusing on the appearance of her hair in any way might bring her back to the time when she was only called for her hair)

[(Anonymous)]

Is her hair every a plot point again or do they just move on from the magical traumatic hair past?

[(Anonymous)]

The movie explicitly shows us that her non-magical hair doesn't grow, though. Remember, the bit that was cut when she was a baby? Unless she wants a pixie cut, that's her look forever now.

[(Anonymous)]

Or she's very ill! My hair didn't grow for three years while I was very sick. Which was great because I didn't have to summon the energy to get it cut, but bad because it kept falling out at the normal rate (I had very thick hair to start with so it didn't become super noticeable unless you looked at an older photo of me).

[meadowphoenix]

I don't know, I think I like the fact that that cut is not conventionally flattering. i think that both makes sense for her character and also i don't think we should necessarily be saying that having flattering hair is important aesthetically. like of the beauty topics, hair is a fraught one we could unlearn some things about.

Ehhhhhh.

I get your point but it's still probably better practice to give people a heads up.

And the author has a right to their feelings

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think the author has much right to say "you can't do that!" but I think being upset is a legit reaction. Also, did they do it mocking the authors? Because if so that's a whole different thing and not cool.

[(Anonymous)]

Me who has never written RPF nor smut, trying to map this onto the boring vanilla kinds of fanfic I have written: ... Nope, I'm drawing a blank, I don't know how I'd feel.

[(Anonymous)]

When push comes to shove, I agree. I do think, though, that "punching down" is still a relevant aspect of this issue though. I mean, there is a very important difference between "Let's publicly read RPF of ourselves and laugh at how ridiculous it is," which I think is completely fair and reasonable, and "Let's publicly read RPF of ourselves and laugh at the author for being a sad, pathetic weirdo who can't write and doesn't know how sex works, omg what a loser." The latter is needlessly cruel, IMO, even if you're totally within your rights to do it.

I have no idea how brutal these guys were about it. But if they were more in line with the former example than the latter, then lol, more power to them!

However, as an alternative scenario: if a third party takes it upon themselves to "surprise" a celeb by making them engage with RPF written about themselves, then in that instance I think both the celeb and the author are perfectly within their rights to be upset by that third party's actions.

Eh

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah they have the right, but I just think it's in bad taste.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't watched the gmm one, but I've watched other rpf subjects read fiction about themselves and it's usually in good fun, though there are exceptions. They mostly seem curious. I just can't fathom writing porn or 500,000 word epics about real people and expecting them never to crack that shit open.

[(Anonymous)]

I knew a lady who got her Twilight fic read on some nationwide show (GMA?) by the actor who played Aro. I remember her being flattered but not overly any other emotion. I was pissed off because it was an AU fic with no relation to the original material. It was a fantasy world that the author once said could be on another planet for all we care. She ended up publishing it with very little changed and you would not know it was Twific.

So the original aim was kind of...eh, to embarrass the reader or the writer or the fandom? It didn't quite work out. I mean why choose an AU when there were plenty of canon fics out there?

Fuck yeah, Wishbone! That show genuinely introduced/familiarized me to a lot of classic literature as a kid.

Do we actually have any evidence that Tingle is particularly effective?
