half a poem, half a rant

pretty pink lips and brown eyes like black holes i get sucked into every day

quite literally m my man but not really because he's not, we're just classmates

this is really stupid but I've known him for 5 months and I want him o love me

i want him, i crave him, i don't even know what that means

i want him to love me when we barely speak, and he has a lovely fr g" "girl best friend" who i can't tell if she's more than a best friend

and shes so nice,she's so pretty, and i have nothing against her and if anything i couldn't dare ruin their perfect

but i barely know anything because we barely speak, and i don't know how to speak to him

but the other day he gave me a gum wrapper heart

and i cling to that heart that token of hope, my chance of a chance with the most beautiful guy i've ever met

And I wondered what it was like to be chosen. I was never chosen. I was a maybe, a probably, sometimes even a definitely but never the one, never the chosen one.

I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."

I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.

Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.

Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.
