where is all the art that perfectly appeals specifically to my exact tastes and desires and nobody elses

Getting back into the MCU don't mind me BUT

Really enjoyed watching the Winter Soldier again! The "I know you're in there somewhere" struggle between Steve and Bucky kills me every time and they should in fact kiss about it.

Skipped over Guardians 1 and 2 b/c I remember those fairly well and also because that meant getting to watch Age of Ultron again which is great since

Ultron was a really neat villain even if I'm sad he only lasted for one movie

Wanda arrives in the MCU and I'm extremely gay

There are no further reasons

two falls, so similar yet diverging late night sketches because i was feeling the star wars au again

[khanlusa]

insert all the sylvaina metaphors that are book related

Voice acting of Still Wakes the Deep is perfect. Hope Clive Russell wins a couple of awards, his delivery here is outstanding.

[khanlusa]

"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????

[khanlusa]

Getting back into the mcu don't mind me BUT

Having slept on it's wild how much it feels like Hawkeye and Black Widow were just kind of the spares in the first Avengers film lmao

Widow at least got scenes and some personality in IM2 and while I appreciate the concept of "normal highly-trained humans can be superheroes too" I do think they should've given Natasha the super soldier serum just for fun

as a treat

she deserves it

Getting back into the MCU after falling off a while ago and I understand now why there were so many fics shipping Pepper and Natasha after Iron Man 2

Also damn they really gave Hawkeye like no characterisation before Loki goes bloop mind controlled now

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing

jaina's a woman who knows what she wants (for sylvanas to shut the fuck up)

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

I bought myself the game Cabernet today because of your video on it. I feel insane already, why is no one talking about this game it’s so good??? Karlach’s VA calling me good girl drew me in, but like, I’m barely an hour into this game and I can already tell it’s going to become an obsession. So thank you, and also fuck you because I know this game will ruin me. ❤️

You are so very welcome lmao

[khanlusa]

yes, that's my beautiful wife. but don't be fooled, she got rabies and will bite you.

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.
