I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

Why make an analytical post about the messaging of the show when a meme more than works!!!

Top 5 Appalachian Cryptids, From Least to Most Deadly

Mammaw’s Friend from Church - This entity manifests randomly at family gatherings. You know nothing about this woman, her family, her home life, her past, if she is related to you in the slightest. She attaches herself to Mammaw and attends every holiday AND Sunday dinner. The terrifying part? Nobody likes her, not even Mammaw.

Yard Car Infestation - These entities resemble cars, usually models constructed between 1940 and 2000. They randomly manifest in yards in groups of 2 to 50. You cannot remove them or sell the scrap metal. Grandpa has been promising to find a way to dispose of them since 1989. He never will.

Cousin Who Needs Something - Similar to Mammaw’s Friend from Church, this entity is parasitic and memetic. Appears as a cousin you have never met or heard spoken of, communicates through grandmother and great aunts. Always in need of money or goods such as hand-me-down clothes, food or prayers. There is no equivalent exchange. You do not know this person. But grandma insists they need help and they’re your kin.

Brother Billy - Grandma’s pastor from church, allegedly. Like the Cousin Who Needs Something, this entity is always going through troubles and seeking prayers and petty cash. Unlike the Cousin Who Needs Something, you have encountered this humanoid figure, described as a tall balding man with beady eyes and a wife 3 decades younger than him. Encounters with Brother Billy result in a feeling of deep discomfort that lingers even after leaving the church.

Neo-Confederate Asshole With a Gun - The deadliest and most dangerous entity on this list. Often manifests on the porch of cabins when you try to turn around on a dirt road. Also occasionally spotted in populated places like Walmart and Shoney's. Highly aggressive and confrontational. Widespread throughout the South though the Appalachian variant, Neo-Confederate Hillbilly With a Gun, is wilier and known for its hardiness.

*smirking* you couldn't waterboard that out of me, but even if torture was an effective method of information extraction and not a futile display of state-sanctioned sadism, the high percentage of false confessions it produces would mean that even if you could waterboard it out of me, could you even trust the veracity of my statement?

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"
