Argyle Week 2023

nov. 23: day 5 → incorrect quotes

Which is your favorite platform? (of the ones you have accounts to post things I mean. I can't imagine it being Instagram since you don't really post there which honestly fair)

Tumblr, Twitter (X?) bluesky? Something else?

I think I'm going to have to go with tumblr, and it's not just because we're here. Twitter and Bluesky are nice and my experiences on both are overwhelmingly positive. But tumblr has an atmosphere that encourages originality, sharing your creations and talking about things in depth.

This series is amazing! I love the character depth you added to Slate and his ... death? But my question is, why is Era of the Wild Zelda (do you have a different name for her?) so jaded in the last bit? Was there something Loft did that I missed? It seemed like everything was done with good intentions, and Zelda would have noticed that.

here’s what I was thinking when I wrote the scene, and sorry for writing a bit of an essay lol: Loft did have good intentions, and both Zelda and Slate know that. But there’s also a whole tangled mess of reasons why they’re both pretty put out with him about it anyway, most of which he could have never known the context of, but kind of stumbled into trampling all over anyway by being so bullheaded. (To be fair, Loft has his own complicated reasons for acting the way he does here, but that’s not what this post is about)

For Zelda, she’s had a long time to come to terms with the struggle over her sealing power, the things her father said and did, the tragedy of Everything, etc— but the thing about being in limbo fighting tooth and nail for so long is that it makes all that trauma feel both like ancient history and as soon as yesterday. So for Loft to a) inadvertently (and he really didn’t mean it like this, but that’s what it sounded like) imply the sealing power she suffered so much over wasn’t even enough and b) pressure Slate about his inability to access his own divine power,,,,it rankles. Regardless of whether Loft meant it that way, that’s how it felt from her point of view. She’s also just, like, kind of protective of Slate about things like this.

Feeling conflicted about the cyberpunk thingy impulse is going for because like yeah it’s a great theme and I like the aesthetics a lot but what I really like most about cyberpunk is the themes of corporate alienation and/or transhumanism etc etc which I know will not be addressed at all and in fact it’s kind of stupid of me to expect that at all from a minecraft series. Does anyone else get that or just me

hey mutuals can you do me a favor; if you reblog anything related to the israel/palestine situation or the current gaza situation with either the word or a trigger (ie “israel” “palestine” “gaza” or “tw genocide”) OR just tag anything related to it “sage don’t look”? i’ve filtered literally everything i can think of and some posts are still getting through ;-;

thank youuuuuuu

people can use this site however they want but there's something almost- idk, sad? about how few people are actually using their blogs. you can turn themes on and have skeletons dancing in the background. you can make everything hot pink. your blog is your scrapbook and you can put whatever you want in there. tags are okay at organizing things so you can have just a whole archive of cool shit to look at later. i know people complain a lot about people liking stuff about reblogging for engagement, and on one hand i get that- it is WILD to see a drawing i spent hours on get only 12 reblogs and 60 likes. Absolute culture shock compared to my previous fandoms. but i don't think you should reblog anything to make artists happy. i think you should reblog things so you can find them again. i think you should queue things to appear on the dash at specific times on certain days. i think you should reblog things so when you're talking to your friends about xyz post you saw you can look in your blog's archive and find it again. i think you should reblog things so that your dash is filled with one really sleepy cat. with the loss of reblogs there's the loss of engagement, which Does hurt the community-focus that makes tumblr so appealing, but idk i just wish people were more excited about the incredible amount of customization that tumblr allows and took advantage of that more

It is very tiring trying to be like "shadowgast cute and soft, make brain go brrr" while simultaneously feeling still that, even a year and a half later, to a loud portion of the fandom, their relationship through the last ten-ish episodes of the campaign didn't "count" because there was not a (mouth-to-mouth) kiss involved, even though their interactions throughout that last arc were absolutely crucial to Caleb's storyline, and gave the impression of prioritizing each other even while focused on averting an apocalypse.

And in particular, the moments they had at the Blooming Grove were very sweet and spoke of the importance they placed on each other and the grace they were willing to extend to themselves in settling what they both still needed to settle before another step could be taken. But evidently that doesn't actually matter because it didn't result in a traditional domestic relationship (ignoring that, clearly, that isn't even really a possibility regardless of their interest, per the two-shot).

If the feeling had not persisted so insidiously among the fandom, I really would not be so persnickety about it, but it has never felt like that subsided and it is simply rearing its head in a far more noticeable way now that those folks can claim there's actually something to "celebrate" to their standards, as though a relationship cannot possibly be real unless you've watched two people stick their tongues down each other's throats.

Like, do people not realize how exclusionary (and, frankly, pretty invasive) that sounds, or do they simply not give a fuck?

[sleep-deprived-lesbian]

did shane and/or ryan ever apologize for the julie daubigny video or address it in any way?? im only just now watching it but like HALF the comments are about how uncomfortable and misogynistic it felt i would think they would kinda have to address it at that point at least for the sake of pr if not for morals but i cant find anything and it was weeks ago :/

Salvatore's head is ringing and his cheek still stings, despite the wounds from Dio's claws having healed already. He has no lasting injuries, so he shouldn't still be in pain. He's fine.

Even not saying the words out loud, they sound and taste hollow. But he swallows them regardless.

It's been a long time since he felt this pathetic, this helpless, to do anything to protect himself.

Salvatore's hand shakes ever so slightly as he holds his cigarette to his lips, taking a long drag. He keeps his eyes up, looking up at the stars with tense shoulders.

At least there aren't too many clouds tonight.

‘‘The opening of Joker where we find him in his sort of employment center and he's putting on his make up. That intimacy, that physical proximity to Joaquin here makes a huge difference. We're telling the story of Arthur Fleck so everything is about his world. So even the guys that are around talking, all this sort of other clowns that are getting ready, they're all in the periphery, right? So everything here is meant to stay with Arthur, physically close to him. When we cut to the next scene which is when we find him out in Gotham Square with his going out of business sign, we now make conscious effort to get further away. Now he's part of a much bigger world, we're distant from him, we are seeing the world the way others see him, which is like a speck ― a Fleck, for that matter. Just in the middle of a sea of other people.’’

― Lawrence Sher on filming Joker (x)
