#making smth up to discourse abt

[poetlcs]

even tho I get why it's said (and I've lamented it before too) I feel this whole 'booktok is book fast fashion' thing is so overplayed because the publishing industry is not even comparable to the fashion industry, which is so incredibly detrimental to the environment and relies on child/slave labour. like yes I don't think people need to buy 30 books at once but we can criticise overconsumption without watering down words like fast fashion, or implying consumption is equally as bad as humans rights abuses in the fashion industry. also, I feel this conversation is doing nothing but center the focus back on western countries. like ur literally hand wringing about books while children are losing their childhoods to the fashion industry rn!!!

[musicalmoritz]

LMAO there’s no way someone made a callout blog for TBHK, you people have way too much free time on your hands

[marklikely]

i hope this isn't like out of line for me to say but sometimes i get offended (<- very mildly not like actually offended) at the white tumblr user stereotypes like surely nobody could actually be that cringe we arent that bad and then i see people being exactly that cringe if not more so. so like okay.

[payphoneangel]

if they ever make an spn reboot i just think. Well, I think Jensen Ackles should play John.

was looking today for custom cursors to use and i found some cute ones so i went to the creator's page and there was a big DNI IF YOU THINK KINKS CAN BE NONSEXUAL AND YOURE INTO FREAK SHIT on the page and i just felt such a strong "the kids are not alright" in that moment. like what a thing to be worrying about on your custom cursors page. but seeing stuff like that, it makes me appreciate what you do on this blog even more bc the more ppl who can grow up feeling chill and normal and comfortable abt sex the better. you're a great resource for so many ppl and you're doing smth really valuable. i know you know this ofc but i just wanted to appreciate you for it a moment

it's always so baffling to me when people decide to loudly announce their preoccupation with the most niche discourse imaginable... Kim there's people that are dying...

[imjunebitch]

ik that people have stopped talking abt this as much but there's smth about the whole jk rowling shit that I wanted to discuss. I'm sure others have said it better, that's ok, I still wanna say it regardless.

basically, stop interacting with harry potter if you like trans people existing. i didn't fucking know what the marauders was until about a month ago... don't interact with it either! the issue is us giving a fuck about "problematic themes in harry potter." genuinely who gives a fuck about problematic themes in harry potter??!! why is that the center of our discourse? it shouldn't be! but that was rhetorical, i know why.

my dad read me the Harry Potter books when I was a little kid. i have crazy nostalgia for them, and I get why people love them. and i think, while harry potter is immensely flawed, and influenced by racist,ableist, and explicitly fatphobic views, theres a reason these criticisms mostly picked up after jk rowling started making a transphobic ass of herself. it wasn't enough to stop interacting with a franchise we loved because the creator was using the profit and attention to do terrible things. we needed to hate the franchise too. so all these (definitely real) faults were obsessively observed, categorized, derided. so we could hate the books themselves.

but something got lost in translation. people started thinking the problematic themes were the main issue, and they never were! the main issue is the woman utilizing our attention and profits to cause widespread harm to trans people! but some people decided it was okay to interact with sanitized fanwork, devoid of those problematic themes. folks. that isn't the issue. that was never the issue. don't "cancel" jk rowling and continue to interact with a fandom based around her work. have some moral fucking backbone and let the ip die.

[plaidos]

wait sorry just to be clear, the post abt 'calling a transmasc a bitch isn't misgendering even if he says it is' is just mockery of the transmisogynistic people who go like 'all i said was 'dude come on', i use the word dude like that all the time, even with cis women, it's not a gendered term, i wasn't even addressing you directly it's just a general term people use in casual conversation, it's not like i referred to you as 'A dude' i just said 'dude' generally so it's not misgendering lololol get over it'. right? not smth you actually believe? i'm assuming it is a joke bc it's exactly the same argument those idiots make just with the genders swapped. i'm just quite bad at detecting sarcasm so i wanted to make sure. i know assholes like to 'discourse' (read: be transmisogynistic) any time the 'dude' thing gets brought up so if u don't want to answer directly it's fine if u jsut make a post along the lines of like 'anon, you are correct/not correct'. since just anon is kinda vague maybe like (thinks of a random animal) 'dolphin anon'. or idk 'anon #123'. i'd be a bit troubled if u actually believe what u said but it's also not the hugest deal, i'd find it kinda gross that ur comfortable doing that with someone who specifically asks u not to use a 'gendered but sometimes used neutrally' term w them. i'd ask u to consider that the word bitch in the way u described functions p much exactly the same as the way ppl often use the term dude, and just bc it's not 'intended' to be gendered doesnt make it not misgendering. like it's as disingenuous as the argument ppl make about the word dude. but tbh even tho i think believing that sucks it's also not like as serious as the dude thing bc it's not like there's a bunch of ppl calling transmascs 'bitch' specifically to harass them. misgendering a transmasc is still rude but it's not as bad as insane transmisogyny lol. obviously if it was a joke/mockery then u already know all this sorry. anyways yeah sorry i have no interest in 'starting shit' or w/e i'm just trying to confirm if it was a joke or not bc my gut says it is, but it's also something that's not impossible for someone to believe and i tend to be bad at discerning these things correctly so i wanted to check. regardless, thanks for ur time and have a nice day.

let me make this perfectly clear:

i think it is noble & honourable to be compared to a woman, and disgusting and abhorrent to be compared to a man.

slightly more serious answer: the word “bitch” is a misogynistic insult. the word “dude” is a masculine word that is not an insult. in general, men are upset at being called “bitch” because it is considered degrading for a man to be like a woman. women are upset at being called “dude” because it asserts that male is the gender neutral default. i am not actually trying to say that bitch is a totally genderless word, that would be nonsensical. but we are not asserting that women are the default when we use “bitch” in a gender-neutral way, are we? there’s an obvious difference here.

similarly, i will — and have — bend to any and every transmascs’ requests to not call them “girl” the way i do everybody — “hey girl” “be serious with me girl”, but i won’t bend to their requests to not refer to a group of people as “ladies” or “girls” (no matter if there are any girls there or not, the way people say “guys” or “men”). you can say “And Coleman” if you care that much and i’ll even affirm it for you. And Coleman. I respect you.

i’m gonna finish this off with: this relationship between transmascs and transfems is not equal as it stands. the english language is already leaning more towards you than us. you’re going to have to put up with us demanding more space. after all, you’re taking up ours.

[schrodingerscatboyx3]

Also since I’m not sleeping, little rant time abt fandom stuff on TT since I legit am done w it !!

People on tt are too fucking mean… like it’s genuinely gone to shit after 2020, and I don’t wanna be THAT person but newer fan trying to police fandoms on literally just shipping two characters is really getting annoying. I have seen a video of a perfectly fine ship and then people telling op to kill themself in the comments. I’VE been told to kill myself over posting ship stuff, mainly Kirona.

It just gets to a point, I’m tired of it, I’m tired of all the shipping wars and death threats circling around over fiction ships.

Headcanons are also smth that apparently “isn’t allowed” with some of these newer fans, god forbid you headcanon a character as trans because you’ll be hunted at the stake for it. “Actually that character wouldn’t be *insert queer label* !!” Please, please shut the fuck up. Let people have headcanons no matter how “true” it is to you or to the canon plot, let people have fun and joy and whimsy, people know headcanons aren’t actual canon (´ー｀)

(Real ship ranting time oh god) Plus generally overall again with ships, people in wars debating how it would never work out or flat out saying it’s awful because of one small detail. I’ve gotten people telling about how Kirona is one of the most unrealistic ships that could happen in soul eater, and ykw? Yes, I partially know that. I know it’s unrealistic, yet somehow, their writing matches each other perfectly. Take this with a grain of salt, I’ve watched the anime and I’m currently on book 12 of the perfect edition volumes + I know some spoilers n stuff. People saying Kid would probably have a nightmare over Crona’s appearance due to their hair being asymmetrical always baffle me, because there was no mention of that even in the scenes were they had seen each other and interacted. The only times that I remember him being finicky with people’s appearances (NOT their clothing) was with Liz and Patty + the Mummy in his chapter debut, with Gopher and his smile, and if it needs to be noted, himself with the stripes in his hair. In no other instance I can remember him judging people on their physical appearance. And this is just ONE of the things I can rant about. I CAN go on more, but I’m on the verge of passing out so I’m gonna wrap this up, maybe another time I can discuss their parallels and how they’re so opposite of each other yet so so similar and alike !!

I have genuinely contemplated not posting any more content on tt simply for all the negativity and hate, I’m unphased to death threats but it literally gets tiring after seeing the 5th one in my dms that day, or even seeing if I got doxxed over a ship *coughcoughkironacoughcough* (spoiler, it’s happened before, more than once !)

Why can’t everyone just make up and kiss in the end I hate all this discourse on tiktok </3

[true-blue-sonic]

aCTUALLY one more thing abt the mini episode before i forget (this the last one i promise) is that i remember one of the questions being about “what if espio and silver were to have an argument” or smth like that, and i remember them mentioning, like, a hypothetical convo between espio and vector (after espio and silver argue) where vector’s just like “sometimes i think you want this to fail” referring to the two’s relationship

i mean in their context it was more of a comedic thing cause the reason they argued in the first place was also comedic, but in the right context i think hearing that from vector would probably be a wake up call for espio or something. i just am not sure what that context would be

I think Espio and Silver are both driven and hotheaded enough that things can absolutely explode between them should they disagree about something, indeed. Specifically I'd imagine that to be when it comes to fighting enemies: Silver strikes me as someone who'd just run in headfirst and who doesn't care if he comes out standing or dead, as long as the evil is vanquished, whereas Espio is a lot more careful and can plan things out on the fly. I can imagine them disagreeing with the other's method: Espio is worried Silver is going to get injured and becomes chastising when he does, whereas Silver thinks Espio is being far too careful and that it takes him far too long to get anything done, with as risk that the enemy might escape. I can see that be the biggest discourse their relationship might have.

As for Vector... Hmm, I can see what he means, in a way. In New Beginnings, I wrote Espio as being incredibly hesitant to show his feelings. I'm not sure to what extent that has canon backing, but out of all the Chaotix I would definitely call him the most withdrawn and closed-off. But that does mean that Espio might not communicate well with Silver if something bothers him, and we all know Silver is ass at communicating in a nice, constructive manner in turn XD So with that in mind, plus there fact I'm sure there are things that Silver and Espio find annoying about the other, I can see the situation getting tense between them for sure! And if they can't resolve it like grown-ups, I can see Vector jumping in and telling Espio he's making things far too difficult for himself and Silver alike. Though in turn, Silver would probably need to be talked to either so he learns to understand Espio's POV on these things. But hearing Vector so point-blank say such a thing would definitely rattle Espio's world, and I think it'd be a strong motivator for him to make things right between him and Silver, whatever it is that's going on <3

Hi Lock~ I wanted to ask you abt how you got into literature, and how you’d maybe recommend someone else to start? I want to expand on my reading (and also you’ve hyped up Dostoevsky sooo much I’m hooked but I KNOW I’m not at that lvl yet haha) but there’s so many different sources and stuff idrk where to start. I have seen your list of recommendations and other people’s lists as well but Im never sure if they’re a good place if someone is just starting into literature; I’ve been really interested in Picture of Dorian Gray, Jane Eyre and Frankenstein right now, do you think they’d be okay? Did you look at books you knew you’d be into? Or did you try out smth new entirely? Also did you look at any sources online that you could recommend? I know I’ve asked a lot so you of course don’t have to answer them, but please let me know what you think!!

I also wanted to ask, as someone who’s read many classics in literature, in your opinion, how would you define literature? And what do you think makes a book a classic?

From a very clueless anon, hope you and bun bun have a great day and stay hydrated!!!!

hello anon!!! there are so many interesting questions here, i'll try answering them to the best of my abilities!!!!

(how i got into literature)

i'd been neglecting published works for most of my life because i just preferred fanfic way more. it wasn't until a bit into 2021 that i saw this Discourse Causing Post that 'you can't grow as an author if you don't read published works,' or something among those lines. i thought this was really interesting because i'd never given it much thought. around that point, even though writing was a hobby, i felt really motivated to improve. i normally spent no more than a day or two on a story before moving onto the next. which is fine, because fanfic writing is a hobby, but i felt i'd be capable of more if i put in the extra time and effort.

so basically i got into it because i wanted to write my silly little yandere fics better jdfklgjsdg

(recommendations for getting into literature)

i focused on the genre i thought i'd be the most interested in: horror. then i branched out from there. i looked up what people considered must-reads for the genre because i figured that'd be a good place to start. if you know what sort of genres you like, doing some research into its most prevalent/foundational works isn't a bad idea. that's the approach i took. authors throughout the centuries influence and inspire one another, i wanted to be able to map those connections out. this also helps give some context to older books with references that'd be loss on a modern audience.

(how i went about looking into books to see if i wanted to read them)

i research everything like my life's on the line, so i do look into books before i read them. i go for a synopsis that doesn't include spoilers and consider if that's a story i'd get invested in. if not, i'll read some reviews for fresh perspectives. if i'm still kinda meh by then, the book gets passed on.

(defining literature/classics)

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH literary theory is not my field of expertise ... i'd personally define literature as any written work such as fiction and nonfiction. it can encompass so many things that defining it feels tricky. as for how i'd define a classic, all art is subjective or whatever, but there are stories that just have the It factor. whether that is their cultural impact, or works that are pillars to the genre(s) they were written in. you can see the ripples that it made after its publication.

finally, as for the books you listed (jane eyre, the picture of dorian gray, and frankenstein), i'd highly recommend them!!! all of them are apart of the gothic genre, which is one of my favorites. they've all stood the test of time for good reason.

omg thank you! i’ve been watching ays and been mostly confused about all the discourse ive seen because there’s a lot of things that ive really enjoyed about it and it almost feels like im watching a different show than everyone else lol

the more i watch the show the more in awe i am of the kind of person jimin is. im somebody who is typically wary of celebrities and dont like to glorify anyone bc we never know who these people are behind closed doors. but jimin makes it so difficult for me haha he just genuinely seems like such a warm, bright person and the more i see of him the more it amazes me.

watching the last episode (ep. 4) i was reminded of smth i thought about during ep. 2. in one of their conversations, jk opens up to jm about the kind of artist he wants to be and the music he wants to make. while i don’t agree w what he said, it really struck me that it was the first time jk appeared genuine to me when discussing his solo career. i didnt have to agree with him to realize he was being sincere to jimin and that that is so much more respectable to me than the cool guy persona he forces during his public engagements.

in ep 4, there was a similar moment where th was talking to jimin about nj’s song and goes on to talk abt the kind of music he aspires to make and stuff. again, had never heard him express himself that earnestly abt his solo career. it just struck me that when they’re alone with jimin we get moments like that. i’ve never really been into th or jk for various reasons, one of them being that they often come across as disingenuous, but in those two moments i respected their sincerity and realized that its smth about jimin that brings out the best in people.

I suspect this happened to me as well. Jimin being there makes things so tolerable that you even begin to understand the feelings of the other members because he facilitates spaces for people to speak frankly and vulnerably.

Same with Namjoon in the album exchange.

It’s like their facades fall down, idk.

[afantasyoffiction]

(not the Eddie post op, just saw the convo on my dash) your intro mentions you're kinda new to tumblr, so I wanted to share that it's somewhat bad etiquette to add to another blogger's discussion-style post when you strongly disagree with it, or to jump on one person's post to comment on a whole genre of fandom discourse. That method is seen as combative and a little insulting regardless of the message of the post. It seems like you want to spread positivity and community, which I love, but I think more effective ways of spreading that idea could include making your own post to just share your own opinion outright, maybe sending a polite(!) ask to the OP (like I'm doing), seeking out fans who have a similar perspective and messaging them, participating in fandom events and just generally being the positive fandom fix-it change you want to see in the world.

And this is just my personal POV but I don't actually think critical analysis of the show is incompatible with fandom positivity. As a former English major myself (yay!), I get such a strong sense of connection and community from metas breaking down why certain canon writing choices are and aren't successful, and why, and what their impacts are. I love participating in that more analytical side of fandom even when it seems like all everyone does is complain, and I do think it ultimately builds richer, more complex fics and other fanworks. At the end of the day, I think it's fine if some people are mad and fine if you're not, and not something that needs correcting - it strengthens the community to have various emotions and perspectives in play, rather than weakens it.

hey!!! the way i had 3 stress dreams abt this post and then woke up to this might be telling me smth….

ty for the clarification and for doing it in such a sweet way it is appreciated and i’ll make separate posts in future when i have thoughts :)

[sunsetsover]

hii miss your yapping! pls rant about first and khaotung actual relationship and how down bad first is!

it's so funny that i've got a couple of messages saying they like/miss my ranting bc as i'm writing them i'm always like 'omg lauren pleeeeease stfu no one gives a fuck 😭' so the fact that ppl not only enjoy it but miss it when im quiet is so wild to me. very sweet tho im very flattered <3

i feel like i don't have too much to say that hasn't been said before. i mean its like trying describe sunshine right? like it's something you have to experience and see for yourself to really get it. they adore each other. they carry such a beautiful love and respect for each other. and yes first is i guess more obvious about it - and i could go on a separate rant abt that too bc ik i've said it before but i think first has such a beautiful energy about him that is so rare and i've only ever seen in jungkook before. like first's inner child is so alive and present within him all the time but not only that, he's not afraid to express that and be in that childlike energy of just joy and happiness and not being afraid to overcome with emotion! to feel how he feels! cry or smile or express love and affection! and for that reason it's so easy to almost be blinded by how bright first's love and affection is for khaotung which means you overlook khaotung's love and affection for first. but where first's love is so loud and close to the surface, khao's is so deep. and it's quiet, but if you pay attention it's so obvious. they're really like yin and yang in that sense, you know? first love for khaotung is a kind of pulling from in front, whereas khaotung's love for first is a kind of pushing from behind. and i think that is so beautiful, to find someone who compliments you and your way of loving so thoroughly. like no matter how different their love might look or manifest itself, there is such an equilibrium there.

and you know i will say there are some things about their dynamic that did confuse me a little bit, esp in all the chaos of fanservice and stuff, but i did see someone on twitter point something out that made it all kind of click in my head the other day, and it was basically about first and khaotung's roles within their own families. khaotung is the eldest child and the 'man' of the family, whereas first is the middle child from a family of boys. i, personally, think that when you look at them in isolation that that knowledge makes their personalities as a whole make sense. but then when you look at them both together, i think you notice something beautiful happening: it almost seems as if first gives khaotung the space to not be the eldest child 'man of the house'. first gives him a place be immature and whine and pout, to be 'babied', to be taken care of. which, in hindsight, is probably why it always rubbed me the wrong way when people talked about how first was/is 'faking' something with how he acts with khaotung. like somehow bc first is sweet and goofy and a childlike in nature he can't also look after someone he loves? bc khaotung is mature and calm he can't also be petulant and needy? it's silly. and i saw a post on here the other day too that acc got cross posted to twt n the person was being dragged for basically saying first and khaotung are basically faking their dynamic and playing into heteronormativity w the way they've been behaving in the thk era which. not gonna get into it bc ur girl does NOT wanna start discourse but know it pissed me off sooooo bad lmfao

like sure there probably is a degree of playing it up for fanservice and stuff, but i truly think first just wants to be khaotung's safe place. he wants to carry some of his weight for him. and khaotung likes being babied and spoiled! shit! me too bitch! and first is more than happy to do it. and not only that, it's clearly just the way first is bc didn't he give mark a load of money so he could buy an ipad or smth? like first is clearly just a giver by nature. he's kind. he wants to help. and believe it or not, you can be sweet and a giver at the same time. and even as i'm typing this im realising it is very much reciprocal thing that ebbs and flows and changes as they as people change, and their relationship changes, and what they need changes. they seem to become what the other needs at that time. like from what i've seen back in the eclipse era for example, khaotung was a lot more protective and first did come a cross a lot more naive - esp w the disgusting jokes and khaotung making comments abt how first was taken advantage of by people. so it makes sense that khaotung came across a lot more mature and almost as if he was looking after/taking care of first. there's a v real chance that khaotung needed to be that person for first back then.

but that was four years ago. they were what, 21? 22? now they're 26. they've changed. their relationship and needs have changed. ofc the way they treat each other and behave around each other will have changed too. that doesn't mean that the way they were acting then was fake and it doesn't mean the way they're acting now is fake it's just different. because of course it is.

i guess the tldr is that i just think they compliment each other so wonderfully. in acting ofc but also just as people. like i don't know how else to put it other than, at least from my perspective, they have a beautiful equilibrium. it's like when one needs more the other gives more and vice versa. and that, at least to me, says that they really are in tune w each other and really do care abt each other deeply. like i really do think they have a 'when things are heavy for you i will carry some of your load, bc when things get heavy for me i know you will carry some of mine' kind of love. which i'm sure is like 'well yeah that's what any kind of healthy love should be like?' to many of you but some of us didn't have any examples of that growing up!

anyway im sorry it took me so long to get to this and im sorry this was probably not at all what you wanted or expected but ya girl had some things to get off her chest apparently lmao but yeah. they love each other. i love that for them <3

[gold-n-retriever]

Just smth I wanna get out of the way abt WTMRR bc ik there'll be discourse Eventually due to the nature of the fic ...

Any characters I write in NSFW scenarios are 18+ & so am I (even thoigh I don't look it ik 😭)

In this au (& just how I personally imagine them): Uzi is 19 1/2, N is freshly 20, V is freshly 21, Thad, Lizzy, & Doll are 19, & J is 22 (not counting the disassembler's resets)

I will never write anything explicit about minor characters, that includes detailed description of Uzi's trauma in this au

Just wanted to clear that up cus it's important & the fic is gaining traction 😭 I'll make an AO3 note abt it soon

[hansrillow]

1 3 8 24 to choose violence :3

HEYYYY so i’m gonna assume newsies

1 . the character everyone gets wrong

DAVEY OH MY GOD. i just rewatched livesies w rizz and another friend and. and. where the heeeeeeell did people get shy soft spoken davey from. like besides les/his loved ones/etc. yall. i just.

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

LMAO ummm uwu soft boy crutchie actually. and I do blame andrew keenan bolger for this but still. “let crutchie say fuck” um? he has and he will so.

there’s probably a much more horrific take i’ve seen out there and if i remember it i’ll add to this. but i think i block them out. like repressed trauma

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

see ummm…above…maybe they’re just on my brain but. jesus

but um ok for something original. but also rizz just said smth abt this but ill. piggy back. you can write characters who are minorities without showing some crazy traumatic thing in the real world. people will write fic being like “no period typical homophobia” which is cool you should do that. but uh. do that more maybe. or maybe you don’t need to make every fic about a racial or ethnic minority trauma porn.

like yeah you don’t have to ignore canon/period typical attitudes. but like. let’s fuckin cool it on the trauma porn, your character can Just Be (insert thing)

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

honest 2 god i haven’t been seeing the rancid discourse lately. and i thank god every day.
