I’m not sure exactly how to articulate it but—there is this bizarre base assumption i see from people discoursing about children’s media, and that’s the assumption that children are somehow unfamiliar with negative emotions. Like, maybe you’ve managed to completely forget your entire life before you turned eighteen, but kids spend a lot of time being hurt, and scared, and angry. A lot of people had terrible fucking childhoods, and a lot of kids are having terrible fucking childhoods right now. When i was a child, and i read books where bad things happened to kids, that was in no way shocking to me, i already knew bad things happened to children. It made me feel more connected to those stories, not less, and it made it more impactful when those child characters overcame it all in the end. That’s important for children. A lot of them are in desperate need of a little hope, and they aren’t going to get it from nothing stories with no conflict. They put conflict in children’s media for a reason
Also i see some of you handwringing over child protagonists going through, like, the most basic hero’s journey. Please, for the love of god, realize that you as an adult are going to understand children’s media differently than the actual kids it’s intended for. Because you’re all grown up now, you aren’t going to be able to relate to a child protagonist. You’re going to see a child in danger. The children the story is meant for are going to see a kid like them who is able to face hardship and triumph
#important#not to mention how incredibly privileged a take it is#like there are So Many kids that are gonna face obstacles and you can tell how sheltered these people were#that they can't grasp that#i was like. idk. i can't even remember how young i was when i learned about the holocaust#and i didn't fully grasp the horror of it till around middle school. but i knew what it was. i read about it#i read books from people who'd survived it by the time i was ten#and that's not a unique experience. like#religious minorities poc and poor people in particular#their kids are gonna know. and they're not gonna be sheltered from it#and aside from the fact that kids experience negative emotions generally#if you grow up in certain situations you will know these things too#and that's honestly part of what bugs me the most#the assumption that all kids are too innocent to grasp certain concepts#like i'm glad for you that you didn't learn what genocide was at an age so young you don't remember not knowing it#but that's not smth that all kids don't know#nevermind the kids who are going thru genocides#like just. idk#this assumption that kids don't feel negative emotions and don't know how terrible the world can be#is so goddamn ignorant and privileged

Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

i do kind of like what hardison's absence in redemption does for his legacy... like, obviously i miss him all the time but he really did that! he takes care of not just one but multiple crews, he's learned to keep the big picture in view, he coordinates and he leads and he makes decisions not just to prove himself as the best but because he knows now what he wants the world to look like.
and people who know him recognize it! hardison started out with this restless energy, this frantic drive to get the others to see that he's worth it. and obviously he always was, but there's something beautiful about him being secure in the knowledge that the people around him value him and know his level of ability.
and i feel like in redemption that's consistently reinforced through his legacy (breanna), his partners' commitment to him (parker and eliot) and the underlying infrastructure always described, all the groundwork he's done. i do get a kick out of that, it really shows what he's built and what built him as a person.

The eternal question - is it worse to read the words of someone who hates a character you love but is accurate/respectful in their points/portrayal, or someone who loves them more than you do but strips them of all nuance and greyness to legit "they did nothing wrong" when they did SO MUCH WRONG?
#fandom things#fandom wank#fr fr lmao#someone who hates the character but gets them and also respects the fact that i'm a real person and the character is not#will always be preferable to the second esp bc the second so often comes with people#who need to touch grass bc they'll harass real people who disagree with them
