Writer tag game

Thanks for tagging me, @ectogeo-rebubbles... 4, days ago, sorry; my parents are visiting and I haven’t had much time to myself.

How many works do you have on AO3?

61

(Why is the number so big when I post? @sapphosewrites said the same thing, so I know it’s not just me...)

What's your total AO3 word count?

515,575

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Mostly Zuko-centric ATLA fics because a couple were inspired by a BNA whom I tagged in the Tumblr post, then she reblogged and lots of people saw them.

Between the Salt Water and the Sea Strand

To Give Birth to a Dancing Star (didn’t get very far on that one, oops)

The Last Argument

Zeno’s Paradox (the only non-ATLA fic on this list; I posted it very shortly after Thor: Ragnarok came out, before I realized how terrible it was)

Shame and Necessity

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes, almost always (unless someone said something weird, or one person left a bunch of identical short comments on different chapters of the same fic; it seems a bit silly to respond to every “<3″ with “Thanks!”). I respond to encourage people to keep commenting, by assuring them that I’m reading comments, I pay attention to their content, and I appreciate them. I especially like it when people comment on specific themes in the fic or how it relates to some aspect of canon, so that it starts an analytical conversation about the story and the characters -- which is what a lot of us are here for.

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

I’m gonna say The Third Time, because Loki actually permanently dies.

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

Starting Over, I guess? That’s the hopeful ending of my Thorki series, taking place before some hypothetical version of the Infinity War storyline in which neither of our principal characters dies (because fuck the actual movies, and fuck Ragnarok too, while we’re at it). But there are other fics, sometimes intermediate in one of my series, that have hopeful rather than downbeat endings, even if more complications arise later. The Ninth Deadly Sin is a rare standalone fic with a happy ending (which I’d forgotten about until I went looking through my Works page for happy endings). Prince of Darkness also has a fairly happy ending that involves solving climate change with Frost Giants...

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve ever written?

No, at least not yet. I have nothing against them in principle, and sometimes enjoy reading them, but since the target audience is the intersection of two (or more) fandoms, it’s necessarily going to be smaller than either fandom on its own.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not really related to the fic. I did get a random nasty comment on a Garashir fic about a fan letter I wrote to Tom Hiddleston (and handed to his manager-person after seeing Betrayal in London) and then posted on Tumblr. Just someone being an asshole.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I do indeed! I write very chatty smut, with a lot of feelings, often angsty, and sometimes awkward, because sex can be awkward, especially if one or more of the participants is inexperienced (at least with bodies like their partner’s).

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes -- someone translated No Exit into French as Aucune sortie (though actually, the French title of the Sartre play that I named the fic after is Huis clos).

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I’m inevitably going to answer that kind of question with my current favorite ship, which is Garashir... but that might actually be my all-time favorite ship because the fandom is a lot more welcoming and chill than others I’ve been in before.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Hoo boy. All the people I’ve seen doing this tag game previously have said they don’t have any; I have 5 partially posted WIPs in old fandoms that I doubt I’ll pick up again. I think I’ve tagged most of them as “on hiatus” and warned readers in author’s notes that I probably won’t finish... Do I want to finish them? In theory, yes; in practice, no.

What are your writing strengths?

I’ve most often received compliments on my dialogue, which I also find the easiest thing to write; my favorite version of this compliment is when people say that they can hear the dialogue in the actors’/characters’ voices. Some people enjoy the philosophical discussions that I can’t help inserting into my fics...  

What are your writing weaknesses?

Plots. Thing happening. I cannot come up with plots. All of my fics are just people talking and having thoughts and feelings about things.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Ask yourself: what does it add to have the dialogue in the language it’s supposed to be in rather than translated? If the POV character speaks the language, would it be sufficient to note that they’ve switched to a different language, or put it in italics or something to indicate that? If the POV character doesn’t speak the language, would it make more sense to just say that other characters have spoken an unintelligible string in another language, or that they just caught a few words, or whatever? That’s not to say that there’s never a good reason to include the actual language; if the actual words are important, or if it matters that the POV character doesn’t switch effortlessly between languages, or if it just adds some richness of texture that you’re going for, it can make sense.

If it’s a real language that you’re not fluent in, do ask someone who is to check your grammar.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter, of course; I am that age, after all. I wrote fics about Tom Riddle and/or Voldemort when I was in middle school in 2001-2. I’ve always been interested in the villain’s perspective.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

At the moment, Had we but world enough, and time. It stayed reasonably self-contained while also covering the issues I wanted it to cover, with some smut thrown in. Maybe my best fic is actually an older one, but my favorite is always in my current fandom, because that’s what I’m excited about... and I’d like to think my writing has been improving with practice.

Tagging: @delicatetrashstranger, @vermin-disciple, @hex-o, @judiops, @the-last-dillpickle... and @illwynd and @incredifishface (since I actually ended up talking about my Loki and Thorki fics in this one).

What Kyuso is, and what it isn’t

A few thoughts about Kyuso wa cheese no yume o miru upcoming movie release

Warning 1: spoilers ahead!

Warning 2: I wrote this post quite long ago but the movie was delayed due to the spread of the pandemic, and so I chose to postpone my thoughts as well. So if you find that some thoughts might sound a bit "old", that is the reason why.

**

I can remember there was at first a lot of criticization towards Ohkura's upcoming Otomo role in the Kyuuso wa Cheese no yume o miru movie, which honestly I cannot fully understand.

While I can understand not everyone might be comfortable "enjoying" a story starting out of repeatedly cheats towards women and a blackmail, it sure does not just sit back on this alone (quite the contrary), and I think that both character and story-wise it can be an amazing opportunity for Ohkura's career.

Same for the Boys' Love theme: live action adaptations of BL stories have so far generally lacked too much and definitely failed to adequately portray the BL theme itself, due to poor budget, poor staff, poor attention and poor everything. A brilliant exception is the Double Mints movie: a very dark, violent and angsty story (beware if you're not incline to these themes) and yet a very touching and heart-wrenching movie, where the BL relationship is as much sad as realistic.

Back to the Kyuso movie.

Ohkura's Otomo character in the Kyuso no cheese BL movie isn't just a "bisex" one, and isn't just a "gay" one either. The original manga is actually no real BL because it was not published in a Boys' Love magazine, it had been written in a josei magazine whose target is the adult female audience. That is to say the story does not aim to be a queer manifesto, even though I think it deals amazingly great with such themes. What's (I reckon) great about Mizushiro sensei's story isn't the yaoi theme itself (alone), but rather the excellent way she portrays the human weaknesses and dark sides of her characters (male and female ones), which is not to say I "cheer" for the characters, because I don't, but introspection-development-wise, the story is gorgeous.

Even after the re-prints of the volumes, which have partially edited illustration (not a big thing, only the genital depiction has been censored), the illustrations, dialogues and themes keep being the original ones.

As I said above, the several twists this story carries are also why I reckon this role might be a huge and challenging opportunity for Ohkura's career as an actor, together with his "controversial" Kumon Onna and recent Montecristo ones, and why I won't go easy with 'judging' the movie as proper adaptation of the manga, should it turn out to be disappointing on screen.   - Spoilers ahead, you're warned -

While living is life as a "regular het" guy, Otomo is married and repeatedly cheats on his wife. Should he be praised for leading this life? I guess no, definitely not. So, we start out from a mean man doing despicable actions who suddenly gets "blackmailed" for his bad behaviour by a homosexual kohai of his.

Is Imagase the only bad guy here, for daring such blackmail? I guess not.

And yet, despite (or thanks to) these premises, the story evolves into something very, very different.

It takes a gay kohai of his to make Otomo realize that his marriage is just an empty shell, that he basically married out of any deep feelings for his wife and was 'happy' with just 'life going on'. It's the meeting with Imagase that forces him to think deeply about his life, to realize he's never cared for other people's feelings to start with. In short, Otomo is a womanizer, a selfish and rather empty guy. The sexual relationship with Imagase reveals him also as being jealous and passive, masochistic and dominant at the same time, very much incline to temptation, whatever its shape or time. He's not to be praised, not a little bit. He's not to be looked down at, at the same time. Because he's human, because that is how life takes his toll on everyone of us (nothing is black or white, rather being endless shades of gray), and because it's only when Otomo realizes who he is and what he wants -thanks to Imagase- that he finally manages to be more "himself". "I'll turn 30 soon. I might still have to know what true love is." -Kyoichi Otomo-

These 'simple' words are one of the keys of the whole story to me: I was aghast when I read it in the manga, I still remember them 10 years later, and I was so relieved to  notice it was kept in the trailer, at least. Which is to say I'm not the only one thinking they're valuable.

 Otomo has met and has been with a lot of women, but none of them is able to rip a hole inside his soul. And then, yes, it's Imagase who "makes the miracle", he's the only one who intercepts the black hole and bluntly tells him so. Because sometimes this can happen through the most unexpected of encounters. It's Imagase who makes Otomo finally realize how important it is to pursue a relationship where both parts openly discuss, argue and talk constantly about each other... in bed or not. It's Imagase, a cheeky, blunt, capricious, selfish, impetuous, fickle and mean guy. It's not a woman, nor a good boy. But it's him who is there for Otomo when the latter needs it (and even when he does not). This is what makes this story not just good but special, to me: a cynical analysis about love relationships and human growth/twists, but at the same time a very humble and realistic one.

 Personally speaking, I don't "like" Otomo nor Imagase nor their petty behaviours, and yet I cannot wait to see how Ohkura and Narita will portray them in every little bit of these flawed characters, because I have been hooked to the story as a whole since the very beginning (ten years ago) and I still am this bewitched, and probably forever will be (yes I know, Ohkura: there is no thing like forever anymore. But bear with my feels, please). I would lie if I were to say I don't care about the sex scenes because, hey, it's a very sexy story after all, but that is not where the real point is, to me. The point is that thanks to this movie adaptation, Ohkura has been given a great (maybe not the greatest itself, but greatest so far) opportunity and I'm cheering on him eternally for this.

I had honestly never thought that one day this story could actually become a movie, and even if I did, last thing I would imagine would be that Ohkura could be starring in it.

But it happened. Not to mention Ohkura himself seems to have become fairly fond of this story... thinking deeply about his character, the staff involved, the story and its themes, just like he did during Dr. DMAT, Hanachan no Mizoshiru and Montecristo filming time. Should the movie even fail to hit my (absurdly high) expectations, I won't love the manga less. So far, the theatrical trailer looks a bit different from the sophisticated 'air' I thought it would have, but still quite nice: way more tender and cute than I thought, but with a palpable longing atmosphere which I find very much on point. We'll see. Cannot wait. In the meantime, ganbatte Ohkura, I'm proud <3  

** Post Scriptum: Besides, I find it very nice that Kyuso movie will be distributed by Phantom Films, which so far handled a lot of quite interesting movies. Among these I definitely recommend: - Call Boy (with Tori Matsuzaka), story of a host/gigolò in Tokyo. Photography is amazing in this movie and so are all the actors. - Hoshigaoka Wonderland (Suda Masaki has a very small part in it, but he's amazing);

- HIS: latest release, story of a gay couple that split up during University and meets again several years later... when one of the guys has become father of a young girl. The movie is a sequel of a coming of age drama aired in 2019 in Japan. 

- (not by Phantom Films but anyway) Double Mints: the BEST "yaoi" movie I have ever seen, so fa. A dark story filled with angst, violence, abuse and still, the touching story of a bond&love that cannot be torn off. Definitely not an easy movie, but definitely recommended if you're interested watching how a movie should be done and how "gay feels" are definitely not in the way nor "like a shojo manga".

1. What is your favorite relationship type to write/read? Romantic, platonic, familial, and any subtypes.

I like romantic relationships that don’t rely solely or primarily on physical attraction, but instead on a deep similarity between the two characters. I like when two people meet eyes and realize that “You understand me. You get me better than anyone else I’ve ever met, and I feel less lonely knowing that someone else sees the world the same way I do.”

2. How much or what kind of research do you do for your fiction? If you don’t write, has a fic ever made you curious enough to research something?

Only as much as is necessary. I usually use research as a springboard for inspiration when I hit a block, letting myself wander the fields of Wikipedia until I stumble upon something that knocks the block loose.

Of course, sometimes I research stuff just for fun, with no relation to my writing whatsoever, until some random point down the line where it suddenly does and I’m super happy I already know [Random Fact #237].

3. What was the first work of fiction you remember becoming completely engrossed in?

Hmm. Probably Animorphs. I remember doing everything I could to hunt down the numerous books in the series (back in the ancient, pre-Amazon Prime days). I’d prowl the various school and public libraries near me, ask for specific books in the series for Christmas and birthdays, and even buy the occasional book at the yearly Scholastic Book Fairs, using what little money I got for an allowance.

I made it most of the way through the series, but then there was one book, near the end, that I couldn’t find, no matter how hard I looked. And it was an important, plot-changing, book that I had to read before continuing. Which meant I never actually finished the series.

Of course, nowadays you can find them all online as pdfs. Maybe I should revisit the series sometime and finally finish it. I already know how it ends, but I still feel like those last few books deserve to be read.

4. What work(s) had a lasting influence on you or your writing style?

Going back to Animorphs again. There is a straight-line connection between me reading that series as a child, through my elementary school friends Brooke, who was obsessed with dogs, and Caitlin, who was even more obsessed with dolphins (I used to find pictures of dolphins in magazines and cut them out just to give to her), through my Grandma’s love of science, all the way to my decision to study Zoology in college. If I had never read those books, I wouldn’t have developed the passion for animals and animal behavior that has shaped my life for over two decades.

Also, stylistically speaking, I really respect that series for how it treated its readers. Its target audience was grade schoolers, and yet it never shied away from showing the realities of violence and war. I don’t know that I’ll ever write children’s literature, but I’ll always have this series to remind me of what kids are capable of understanding and handling.

5. What kind of sound environment do you prefer for writing/reading? Silent, white noise, music with/without words, sitting in a public place with the ambient noise of humanity, etc.

Depends on how well my brain is cooperating. Pure silence is ideal, but more often than not there’s some manner of song stuck on repeat in the background of my mind, and the only way to drown it out is with non-lyrical music of some sort. Usually I try to pick songs that match the mood of whatever scene I’m trying to write.

6. Are you or do you like authors who are teases, in story or out?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m a big fan of the Death of the Author trope, so I tend not to get too worked up by whatever the author may be saying and just let the story speak for itself.

My first instinct is to say that an author shouldn’t worry too much about what their fans think and should write the story they want to write, and it will find readers that appreciate it. However, I recognize that the nature of serial online writing, such as fanfiction, changes the game a bit. Such authors have a much more immediate, direct connection with their readers than authors who release one or two physical books every year or so. Some authors take that to an extreme, turning stories almost into a dialogue with their readers, each new chapter in some way defined by how people reacted to the previous one. And that doesn’t even touch on Quests, a type of story on forums sites such as Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity that require player input on a regular basis to continue. In these types of situations, I can hardly blame an author for playing with their readers heads a bit. The reactions they have can be a form of entertainment all their own.

7. Have you ever experienced a “the characters write themselves” or “character rebellion” mental state?

Not yet. For the time being, I remain in complete control of my universes, but I recognize the hubris of assuming this to be a permanent state.

8. Do you have a favorite franchise crossover? Like Bleach/Harry Potter, Madoka Magica/Card Captor Sakura, etc.

I don’t know if I have a particular favorite. I was really fond of Secret Trio for a while, which is Danny Phantom, American Dragon Jake Long, and Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja. I’m still very fond of the Disney/Square Enix megacrossover that is Kingdom Hearts, despite being very disappointed in the most recent game in the series. Then there’s Kino’s Journey/Anything, mostly because I love Kino’s Journey, and I love seeing her response/reaction to various other worlds.

Also, Stargate/Anything. The only reason I ever started watching the show was because I’d read several different fics, all in different fandoms (Avatar, Yu-Gi-Oh, Star Wars, Naruto), and all of which crossed over with Stargate. Despite the similarities, both being sci-fi stories set around the turn of the millennium involving mind-controlling aliens, I’ve yet to see a good Stargate/Animorphs crossover. It’d be pretty easy to do, too. There’s a point in the Animorphs series where they decide to bring knowledge of their guerrilla war to the attention of the US government. If they’re already in the Stargate universe, I’m sure the president will quickly pass the problem along to the experts, and suddenly you’ve got the perfect setup of adults who think they know how to handle the problem, are mostly right, and don’t want kids fighting in a war, vs child soldiers who have no intention of giving up the fight so near its end, even if the adults are more competent than they expected.

I’m gonna have to write it myself, one of these days, if no one else gets around to doing it.

9. Do you remember anything about the first fanfic you ever read?

Two Halves by DameWren. My first fandom was Naruto, and my first fanfic was a NaruHina fic that both introduced me to the concept of fandom, and also sold the ship for me in a way that I’ve never shaken. I remember very little beyond that, except that it managed to correctly predict that Naruto would go on a training trip, despite being written before such an event happened in canon.

10. Is there a work of fiction that you are annoyed doesn’t have much if any fic? Like Bizenghast.

Kino’s Journey, Cowboy Bebop, Double Arts (just never got enough attention in general)

11. What fictional character do you strongly identify with?

Weiss Schnee, from RWBY. While I’ve never been accused of being rich, I am a middle child with a much older sister that cut ties with the family when I was young and a younger brother that I never got along with while growing up. My parents were also abusive, my father physically and both of them emotionally, and they taught me a number of unhealthy ideas about race, amongst other things, that I’ve had to put serious effort into unlearning. And I have, since becoming an adult, traveled long distances across the world, partially for my own benefit, and partially to distance myself physically from a family I’ve never felt particularly close to, resulting in a drastic personality shift that took a couple years to complete, but ultimately left me a very different, and much better, person.

So, yeah, Weiss is basically my favorite RWBY character, and one I really need to write more often, all things considered.

That was fun! I’ve never been tagged in anything like this before. My turn for questions!

1. What is your the most recent fandom you’ve gotten involved in? Have you made any content for it?

2. Do you have a favorite AU/plotline that you love regardless of fandom (ie. Peggy Sue, Coffee Shop AU, Space AU, Self-Insert)? What about it do you like?

3. If you write, how do you go about deciding a character’s sexuality? If not, do you ever have any sexuality headcanons for characters?

4. What’s the longest fanfic that you’ve ever read, beginning to end?

5. How often do you make something you’re proud of? Doesn’t have to be writing, just has to be something that wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t made it yourself.

6. What are your opinions on OCs in fanfiction?

7. What is your favorite storytelling medium (ie. television, written word, spoken word, video games, song, etc.)?

8. What was the last song you had stuck in your head, and what was it about?

9. Do you prefer reading/writing stories set in fictional worlds, or stories set in the real world/real world analogous (ie. Supernatural or Marvel Comics)?

10. If you could bring one fictional character into the real world, who would it be and why?

11. Pick your favorite of the questions I was asked to answer for yourself.

I just realized that I don’t know how many of my followers are writers. I guess @hunkygoddess @tmifangirl21 @queendarktigress @ladyvallhalla @i-mushi @xekstrin @shinobicyrus and anyone else who sees this and might be interested. No pressure, it’s just for fun!

I gave the ATLA live action movie “The Last Airbender” one more shot...

Four hours ago, I happen to catch the Avatar: The Last Airbender live action movie on the telly, and before I cringed out even thinking about it, I said to myself:

“It’s been almost 10 years, what could possibly make me cringe anymore than what it was?”

So... I watched it. I was supposed to go to sleep because I had a bad case of food poisoning (again) but then my tummy got all better so.. Why not. And I was surprised for the next 1 hour 30 minutes.

OK, so to all ATLA-TLOK fans out there, before you bash me into little pieces for even mentioning this live action movie, PLEASE HEAR ME OUT FIRST!

I am not posting this to bash or to rave about anything, I am just posting this to bring out my thoughts on this movie about 10 years after it was made/after I watched it for the first time (under the assumption that my opinions are valid and welcomed in this site).

I wanted to put this “late” review and commentary so I could have a comparison point once the ATLA series goes live in Netflix next year, among other things.

I believe I may have been too attached to the animated series way back then to have made a somewhat partial and unbiased review to put it down completely as trash.

And lastly,

In relation to the previous point, I will take into account a possible viewpoint from non-ATLA fans who just wanted to while away their time by watching a movie which they knew nothing about.

I’m not gonna put any jumps/breaks/keep reading cuts on this post because it doesn’t show up on mobile anyway, and also because some people on desktop are too lazy to click it so.. I’ll just make this a long-ass post and hopefully my PC can survive the long-ass ness x_x So if you started reading this well.. It’s on you. =P

I will be doing the commentaries based on the following:

How the story flow compares to the original ATLA series

Character comparisons between the series (especially KEY characters)

Rendering of the effects

If I was a bystander who watched it for the sake of watching (i.e. if I wasn’t an ATLA fan), how would I feel about it?

If I remember to do so, I’ll probably make an overall comment on the whole thing based on what I said and add some stuff I may have forgotten to add. Also, since the Airbender movie is just for Book 1: Water, well it’s the only thing I’ll comment on. Again, be warned, this will be a long, long, long-ass post.

Live Movie vs Book 1 Series

Well, let’s be honest here, even the Ember Island Players took a very long time to showcase just Book 1 in their own version, so of course Nick and Paramount had to cut everything to fit into 1 1/2 hours of movie time, and that would cut out more exciting and pivotal scenes from even getting shown. I mean, it’s not like they had that much budget to turn the whole thing into something as long as one movie from LOTR or even Hogwarts movies. A lot of the magical bending stuff were sorta uhm.. not there? Also, there were so much leaps and stuff just to visit all of the Air Nomad Temples, that was basically what Aang, Katara and Sokka were doing most of the time, aside from learning how to bend, escaping Zuko and Co., as well as inciting rebellion within the Earth Kingdom under the Fire Nation domain. And also, I felt the whole thing wasn’t even meant to be a big production, unless I just don’t watch enough movies to recognize anybody. Seriously, the only actors I recognized in the live action were Jackson Rathbone and Dev Patel, I honestly don’t know everybody else (sorry Yue, I find you lovely but I don’t know who you are T_T). So... You see where I’m going here?

So... Because of many constraints, the entire Book 1 was reduced into this plot:

Two Southern water tribe siblings found a kid (and a huge fluffy beast) frozen in a ball of ice, which shot out a beam of light after breaking the ice ball. They brought the kid and the beast back home, in which they tried to get to know him better. But a foreign prince from beyond the wild seas took it upon to himself to bring back what he believed to be his target, The Avatar, by storming into the Southern water tribe village and taking the kid from the ice into custody. The two siblings’ grandmother later revealed that based on history and her own knowledge, the kid was the Avatar who was supposed to bring balance into the world, but disappeared in almost a century. So the two kids took it as their responsibility to rescue the ice ball kid under any circumstance, until he could turn the tides from the Fire Nation and bring balance and harmony into the world. Meanwhile, the kid from the ice was tested if he was indeed the Avatar, and unfortunately passed the test, now has an existential crisis and wanted to run away again, which he was able to do so with the help of the water tribe siblings. This leaves the captor, the former Prince of the Fire Nation even more pissed and determined to recapture his place and his position in his own country, as well as his father, the Fire Lord.

After visiting all of the Air Nomad Temples and realizing that he was the last bender of his kind, the Avatar underwent another existential crisis which he was only able to mitigate through meditation and reaching out to the spirit realm. This was further intensified by his need to master all of the remaining elements in order to serve his life purpose better because he ran away even before beginning his trainings, and he just couldn’t make stronger attacks or defenses just by bending air. So along with the two siblings, he traveled to the Northern Water tribes in order to learn water bending from the master. During the course of this travel, he met with the former Fire Prince and fought with him multiple times, he was kidnapped by another Fire Nation official after being lured by an Earth Kingdom citizen (and was actually set free by a ninja who later turned out to be the former Fire Prince), and he kept getting blocks from unlocking his full water bending potential. Only by entering the spirit realm and chatting with a dragon spirit was the Avatar able to keep himself calm despite the stuff happening around him.

After staying at the Northern water tribe’s place and learning water bending for quite sometime, the time for war against the Fire Nation came. However, despite preparations, the water benders were outnumbered and overpowered by the fire benders, which further worsened when one of the moon spirits got killed by the Fire Prince’s rival, thus removing the water bending abilites from those who could. However, ironic as it seems, another Fire nation member knows how to undo the damage that was done, and once the sacrifice was done, the water-benders were back in action. So much so, that even the Avatar was able to chase away the Fire Nation’s armada of ships away. After realizing that he was indeed, needed to restore the imbalance brought upon by his disappearance, the Avatar took his original responsibility to heart by bowing back to all of those who bowed down to him.

That was basically the entire content if focused only on Aang’s development. If you’d ask me, an hour and a half won’t be enough to bring to light all the wonders and charms of the original series, you might need like a three-hour trilogy series just to show each character’s full strengths and weaknesses. So even if a lot of the nice stuff in the series had to be cut out, I’d say that whatever was used in the movie was pretty much enough to show a proper plot to keep track of.

Basically, it all boils down to this:

The production team (or whatever governing body had to make the decisions regarding how the whole thing had to be made) had to take into consideration their target audiences, the production cost, and how long the whole movie must be in order to maximize whatever resources they had. If I was to base my opinion on such things, then I say that the movie’s storyline is overall OK.

Movie vs Series... Characterwise

Well, to make this long-ass commentary a bit shorter, I’ll just make a generalized comparison because for a short movie, there is obviously not enough time to build each character up so it makes for seemingly-flat characters. 

First of these is the fact that despite filling in some backstories for most of the characters, their traits seem to feel a bit wanting. Like there’s something missing. If you’d ask me, the thing that’s missing is whether or not they are capable of change. Some characters are like that, you see them move for the first 5-10 minutes and you’ll know whether or not the character has some potential for growth and change, not necessarily for the better but just some overall change from point A to B. We see this in the ATLA series because there is so much time spent on that, and I think that’s what makes everyone in there so endearing. Heck, even Azula has some fans because at least, at some point she had some sort of character change. However, based on my experience, that’s not easily done because in order for a character to enter change, a lot of events, introspections, expressions, and other internal and external influences must push the character to change. To make them strong or weak isn’t the point, but rather to make the character move out of their system and into another. This wasn’t  possible in the live action movie because again, time constraints. So whatever they were from the beginning just continued on until the end. NO dead-obvious growth observed, whatsoever. I felt like this was a disservice to ATLA fans because the characters portrayed on the screen were so different from the ones we got used to (hate) and even loved from the series:

Aang got reduced to a very confused and angry boy, who was originally written as a warm, friendly, and happy-go-lucky ball of charm. Also, if they wanted to do justice for however they shaped movie Aang, they should have made a whole lot more internal dialogue about his regrets and stuff, so angsty and angry Aang could have been justified better.

Katara got portrayed as a stiff girl, when in fact she was originally shown as hopeful, inquisitive and even smart, apart from her kindness and her nurturing and fun side. Also, as far as I recall, Katara in the series was already a very competent water bender, so why reduce her to a floppy one in the movie? It would have been better if she just was a wee better than what she was but still wanted to learn from Paku, to show children that there is always room for improvement (because again, this was originally intended for young viewers)

Sokka got reduced to a moody teen (Sorry Jackson), when in fact he was like Ronald Weasley: funny, resourceful, really tactical (friendly reminder that Ron won Wizard’s Chess, just saying) and is actually a comic relief. OK, so maybe there was a teeny, tiny part where Sokka was funny, but like 3% or lower. If you blink, you’ll miss it. I guess the part where he was brotherly to Katara was OK, just to redeem his movie self a bit.

Despite the vibe, movie Zuko wasn’t too angsty for my taste, he was just full of anger and revenge, so I don’t feel like it’s justifiable for him to be like that. Even if he actually got some screentime for some flashback, the character was just too angry and vengeful, not enough teen angst to give it depth. Sorry Dev, you did great but if you had an idea on who Zuko really was, you may probably gave him a better shape. Unless you already know how but just got cut off by the directors or something. I won’t know for sure. Also, we need more scars, like really deep, wrinkly, very horrifyingly discolored scars, not just the mild ones that I had to squint to see, because that’s surely a good source of Angst(c)

Uncle Iroh’s love for self-indulgence and his laid-back style wasn’t completely spot-on, I wanted a really chill yet wise vibe from him, but I guess the lack of dialogues between him and Zuko plus the fact that I only saw him drink tea TWICE, well, that’s just sad. I’m sure Uncle Iroh would’ve wanted more tea and cake times, and more feet-pampering. Plus more father-and-son scenes with Zuko because that’s what will eventually give way for angst and realizations but then again, I may be too opinionated on this one.

Ozai wasn’t as evil and as psychopathic as I expected him to be. He could have been more cruel, more harsh, more brash, more brutal, less passive, and less fluffy. General Zhao had more of that Ozai feel in him, maybe the two should have just exchanged places. Or better yet, it would have been better if they just made Ozai into a narcissistic manipulator, that might have worked. A charismatic manipulator, like Azula.

I think these are the only key characters worth mentioning in the movie since they’re pretty much pivotal in how that story arc moves, whether in the live action movie or in the series.

Movie Bending (Expectations vs Reality)

I had to say, the bending was actually OK, for me at least. The flamey-flamey shots and the water to ice bending were cool, the earth bending could have been better and faster but it’s pretty much decent, and the fact that air bending can be made more visible by putting air particulates like dust and mist around the whirlwinds so that the air movements can be seen is actually laudable. But then again, there wasn’t really that much bending to show since there were equally as much fight scenes as bending. It didn’t do that much justice though, since in the series bending elements were not limited to just fighting. Bending the elements could destroy or build structures, bending can heal or break people, and there is just so much complexity that elemental bending can show fans or non-fans or even beginning fans, which were not shown in the movie because of so many constraints. I’d dare say it was a disservice, but again, given the restrictions, I’d say that the bending shown in the movie was also, overall, given the circumstances, were pretty much OK.

If I wasn’t a Fan... (lol)

Well, if I wasn’t a fan, if I wasn’t aware (or even living) in the ATLA-TLOK universe, I would say that this movie had some entertainment value. Sure, maybe introducing the four nations could have needed some extra sentences at least, like the intro in the series, or maybe like show the map of the entire ATLA-TLOK world, talk about each part briefly, and maybe some bit on explaining what the elemental benders are. So I won’t be surprised at Katara making water balls or Aang making whirlwinds or Zuko kicking some fire out. I’d be confused as heck. Also, I feel that it would be even more amazing if they showed Appa flying a lot, and Aang’s interactions with Appa and Momo, because seriously, that would have at least made some of the kids think on the possibilities of having a flying bison or a flying lemur. Because showing a flying Appa but not seeing how that looks when you’re on the back of one kinda, I dunno, feels less magical. I only saw them fly once and swim once on water but that’s about it. At least show them parking Appa on one of the Air Nomad Temples or something. My point is:

Make the scenes a bit more engaging to the viewers. Strike their imagination or something. OR at the very least, make them awe at the possibilities of bending or whatever.

If the viewers came out of the cinemas feeling like they want a flying bison or they wanna bend fire or rocks or stuff, then at the very least you’ll be able to gauge if they got engaged with your movie or not. I don’t care what age group they would be, heck, I’m in my early 30′s and after more than a decade of being an ATLA fan, I still want my own dragon or flying bison. I won’t even mind if I get a letter from Hogwarts that I’m accepted as a witch, or if a parcel suddenly appears at my doorstep and something magical or mystical was there. Now if that isn’t engagement then I don’t know what is.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get that kind of feels from the movie, it just felt like something that would pass through me and won’t even consider remembering. I mean, the bending was all magical and stuff, but the characters weren’t able to pull me in. I wasn’t able to connect with them as much as I wanted to. They weren’t as much likeable or relatable as much as I expect them to be. They feel like a one-time deal, and I feel bad for them, actually. I mean, if you’re gonna write about a bunch of people, at least make them a bit relatable for the viewers. Give them a bit of depth, so that we won’t take them at face value. I mean, even the most boring person on earth has some depth, so at least, make the characters seem like they could actually feel things, because they aren’t stuck on something like a one-dimensional person. At the very least, make them DECENTLY human.

Overall Comments and some Final Stuff

I’m a bit sleepy but I’ll try to sum it all up and give my conclusions.

The Avatar the Last Airbender movie (seems to have) came short because of too many constraints:

Time constraints

Budget constraints

Character constraints

Creative constraints

However, despite such constraints the plot was actually enough to keep the movie going. There were also sufficient backstories for the main characters to use in order to push through with what they’re supposed to be doing. Sure, Aang only learned how to water bend but I think there was enough elemental bending in the movie to show the different styles of bending so that’s OK, I guess.

Overall, even if it sucked the first time around, after giving this movie another shot I guess it’s pretty much an OK movie to watch, to while away the time. I just hope that the Netflix version can be a WHOLE LOT BETTER at translating the animated series into live action. I know it’s a lot of expectations but at this rate, I could just hold on to properly-written and portrayed characters as well as smooth-flowing storylines, never minding whether or not the places or the bending are properly portrayed.

And with that, this review is done.

Will snooze and let this whole thing roll off my back.

[livinonedge]

Truth be told, I’ve always considered myself a fangirl (hence my original and slightly embarrassing username). But I’ve always shied away from posting my opinions online since I’ve always been slightly afraid of becoming a person who would get in fights over my opinions. But every so often there is an exception, and this is it. Feel free to skip this post if you don’t want to read one of my very few rants.

When I was in my first year of high school, I began to watch anime after avoiding it since it was a “weird” interest. I began with the typical started anime, Sword Art Online and I quickly realized I was missing out on a whole lot of stories because I was afraid of being seen as “weird” at school or to my family. I quickly began to watch more and more anime and I began to develop my tastes in anime that I currently have today. Sometime my late freshman year/ early sophomore year (the summer between if I remember correctly), I found an anime series based off the manga of the same people who created Death Note, which I was, and still am, a huge fan of.

The anime was called Bakuman and even though it had no relevance to me, since it was mostly about creating manga, I still fell in love with it. After I was a sophomore, I decided to buy the manga and read it for myself. I had always been reluctant to buy any manga or anime content since my parents didn’t know about my interests but that all would change.

After I read the series through (and discovered that there was actually an entire arc the anime cut out that I actually really enjoyed!) I realized how much I actually loved this work. I’m very picky about calling something my favorite (since I tend to like a lot of different genres) this manga quickly became my favorite and still is to this day.

Yes, I do recognize that there is some dialogue that personally I am not a fan of, but I’ve always seen that as something that makes the work it's own. It was created back when I was 8 and I read it at age 14. Naturally, there would be societal differences and since I’m not exactly the targeted audience my own views should not line up with the work. But to me, that just improves the story since it dates it. By dating it, it seems more real to me. Like this could have potentially happened starting in 2008 and if not much had changed, could have finished in 2018. To me, that’s the sign of a fantastic work.

However, that’s not why I love this story so much. After all, I have no aspirations to work in the manga/anime industry and even if I wanted to, I cannot draw to save my life. However, to me, the main theme of this work is dreams, for as cliché as that sounds.

When I was in my first few years of high school, I had given up on the one dream I had for as long as I could remember. I wanted to become a writer. However, I learned about the truth of reality too early on. By the time I was in sixth grade, I stopped writing. I realized the dream was basically one-in-a-million and knew that my skills were not up to par. As a result, I believe this is where my fear of rejection began. I was terrified of trying my hardest and failing at what was my dream. As a child, I couldn’t take that. So, I gave up on that dream of mine, even though I wanted nothing in the world but that.

However, years later Bakuman came into my life. When I was watching the anime, hearing the story for the first time, I was so hopeful for the character’s dreams to come true. I knew it was anime, was a work of fiction, so I figured it would work out in the end. But as the ending got closer and that dream had not been accomplished, I began to worry for these characters I had gotten so attached to. But in the end, (SPOILER ALERT) the dream does come true. Even though I knew it was optimistic (which I thought was interesting coming from the creators of Death Note), it was inspiring to me.

My sophomore year, I came to a realization as a result of reading Bakuman. If I have a dream, I cannot give up on it. No matter how impossible it seems, it could come true, so I have to try. I was not able to take the first step that year, but the following year, I was finally able to do it. For the first time in over five years, I allowed someone else other than myself to look at my writing (I am referring to creative writing, I still did write for my classes it’s just my own creative writing is personal to me and feels like a part of myself). I remember how terrified I was because I was scared to death my piece would be rejected and I didn’t know if I could take that, even though I was 17. I also began to let myself dream of what I wanted to major in in college. That was when my mom recommended photojournalism to me based on my love for photography. It eventually turned into journalism after a few months, but I was holding on for the results of my creative writing to decide if I should go forward.

I remember thinking that I had not gotten selected since I was seeing some people get letters from my school about it. I was not as crushed as I thought I would have been, but I still remember that feeling. I was ready to give up my dream that had now become two dreams once and for all. But, as it turned out, I was selected.

I don’t think any of my friends knew I had submitted something so imagine their surprise when in English class I received a copy of the magazine that only those who were in it received. And I heard what others had to say about my work. I remember nearly crying in joy because I was receiving compliments from people I wasn’t even friends with. I remember them telling me how they actually cried over my short story and people shared their interpretation of my work with me. I couldn’t believe that people cried, let alone liked my work. I remember thinking that my goal wasn’t even to make others cry. But once I heard that, I understood. I wrote that short story about my own struggles. I claimed it was about being an introvert, but it was also about my fear of rejection when it came to my writing. I cried when I wrote it because it was so personal and close to my heart. From then on, I submitted another short story the following year and applied to and got accepted at a university for a journalism degree.

When I reread Bakuman for the third time these past few days, I realized all of this. At the time it was happening, I didn’t know that that manga was influencing me so much. I thought it was all me, but the truth is, no human will ever do something because of pure motivation on their end. For as much as I am called a cynic, I truly believe after realizing this part of myself that every action a person takes in their life is determined partially by other’s influences, whether that influence is small or large. For me, Bakuman was a huge influence on how the rest of my life will turn out. After all, it is responsible for pushing me to obtain my dreams in the first place.

As a result, I think this series will always hold a special place in my heart. When I was rereading it, I also was able to connect to the characters differently because I was actively working towards my dream and am beginning to get results. I’m not saying that everyone should connect to this series as much as I have, but I feel like this series does not receive as much respect as it should. Yes, I do admit that it probably will never be considered a classic. I respect that too. But I still feel like people should give it a try, either the manga or the anime (though I personally prefer the manga).

That’s my whole motivation behind this post. I want to give this series a bit more love than it currently gets. It is over ten years old now and even though I believe it to be dated, it still has meaning to me and I want others to be able to find it if they desire. No piece of work will ever be perfect. No book, movie, anime, manga, video game will ever be flawless. Bakuman itself has flaws in my opinion. I consider it slightly sexist at times and there are two jokes involving the LGBTQ+ community (though they are very minor to me, I do understand that some people could find these two comments very offensive). This manga is far from perfect. It was written in 2008 for a boy’s manga magazine after all. The main problems I see in the work are direct results of that. I am by no means excusing it if this was done today, I’d probably be right with the people destroying the series. All I ask if someone reads this series as a result of this post is to keep this in mind. Bakuman is the product of 2008 to 2012 and the anime from 2010 to 2013. Of course, there could be things that people now won’t agree with. That’s the thing with time. As it goes on, we improve and change ourselves.

As for me, I don’t doubt that this series will remain important to me. It helped shaped my teenage years and is still shaping my life as a young adult. It might not remain my favorite manga series for long (honestly I’ve rediscovered and started reading Platinum End by the same authors and I find it really good) it will always hold a place in my heart that is mostly reserved for things I loved in my childhood.

So. Jesus Christ Superstar Live.

I just wanted to type/talk about why I loved it so much. I’ve been thinking about it, this past week. There’s, surprisingly, not a ton of talk about it, even though it’s clearly the best “live” NBC has ever done. 

Most of the talk about it, recently, has been religious, which... I guess comes with the territory, when you’re telling THE story of a major religion. Anyway...

I think, for me, one of the very biggest reasons I enjoyed it was seeing black Jesus. Much the same way Hamilton captivated me, because I was watching a bunch of inspiring people of color. I gotta say, I haven’t really seen Jesus Christ Superstar before this live. I knew the show, and I knew songs from it. I think I had even seen the 1973 movie as a child. I’m not sure. I don’t remember it very well, but it looks familiar. But anyway, after watching the live, I went back and listened to a few different versions (well, watched the clips on YouTube), and while they were very, very good, I start to feel uncomfortable when I’m looking at a blonde Jesus and a bunch of brown people singing his praises (1973). I watched the Simon Zealotes scene, and while the actor playing Simon killed it, man, was it uncomfortable to see a brown dude like “Hey, white man, I worship at your feet!” Especially since that was the fucking early 70s. (And the Yanni looking dude from the 2000 movie really couldn’t do it for me. Even though he was a good singer. Possible that that version is just too 2000s and dated, but whatever.)

Seeing a young, black Jesus, and a black Judas as my first real experience with the show was electrifying. 

I also really like John’s soulful voice in the Jesus role. A lot of people who grew up on the earlier versions of the show are saying he was bad in the role, but I disagree. The only issue is that his voice sounded strained at times, which happens in live performances. And I’ve rewatched it several times, and guess what? Several of the performers sounded strained, at times. Pilate and Judas also have moments where they struggle for a note, or mess a note up. And no one’s mentioned those times. (I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of this is just nostalgia for the rocker-sounding voice. John Legend makes this music sound really gospel or R&B. Which is beautiful, too. It’s just a different sound. But nostalgia sometimes gets in the way.) 

What I also liked was that this live made me care about the Jesus story in a way I haven’t in a looooong time. I grew up in the church. Not just in the church, but INNNNNNN the church. Like, my dad has always been the Minister of Music at every church we’ve ever attended, and my mom generally did the youth message. Like, I sang on choirs and did solos since before I can remember. I’m a black girl from the South. Most of us grew up in the church, but yeah, I was from a church going family. As I got older, I grew away from the church. Partially because the message American Christians spread is too soaked in hatred of specific types of people, and partially because the Christian dogma is scary and really bothered me. Literally the only thing I ever liked about Christianity was Jesus. Like, real Jesus, not MAGA Jesus. Jesus is a unique figure, in that his message is purely of love, and acceptance for everyone. (Which is why I couldn’t figure out why, for instance, Christians were so hellbent on hatred for the LGBT community.)

But, yeah, this story right here? The Passion? It’s never, ever presented in a way which makes the listener/reader understand truly what was happening. I must have heard about the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ a million times growing up. This musical is the first time I’ve heard the story presented in a way in which I understood what was at stake for the Jews, why Jesus was even a problem, why Judas even decided to turn him in, and why he was actually crucified. Shamefully, I never even got that Pilate didn’t think Jesus should die, until this musical. 

Part of that is because the musical made me want to read up on this story more. But yeah, it’s presented more accessibly than it ever is in other works. (And, yeah, I skipped The Passion of the Christ, and I refuse to ever watch it. I don’t like torture porn, and I remember when everyone in my church was going to see it and talking about how bloody it was and how we all should see it because we should see how Jesus suffered for us, and I remember thinking “what does being Christian have to do with forcing myself to watch something horrifying?”)

That said, a lot of active Christians are afraid it’s blasphemous. Not just this live version, but the musical in general. My take, as someone who leans Christian, but is really rather agnostic? It didn’t once make me lose an ounce of respect or reverence for Jesus. Maybe some Christians are afraid to look at Jesus as a person... but for me, it helps a lot. To look at him as a man who physically walked this Earth and was a member of an oppressed group, who did what he could to help them, and died for them. And, tbh, I know Christians view Jesus as the Messiah, but I thought the whole point was that Jesus was an Earthly incarnation of/the son of God/Yahweh. That’s the point. So, looking at him as a man isn’t a bad thing. The whole point was God sending his son to Earth to walk as a man among men. I’ve seen criticisms that it makes Jesus look power hungry. But I don’t think so at all. In the song Poor Jerusalem, he quiets Simon the Zealot and the crowd by telling them they, nor the Romans, nor the Jews, nor his own disciples understand what power or glory is. He doesn’t WANT the power and glory that Simon says he’ll get if he fights Rome. He seems to understand that there’s a higher power that none of them can fathom. He also, later, tells Pilate “that’s who you say I am” when asked if he’s the king of the Jews, or the son of God. In no scene does he tell people to worship him, or tell them he’s God, he’s King, anything. He’s represented as humble and gracious throughout the piece. In Hosanna: “Sing me a song, but not for me alone. Sing out for yourselves, for you are blessed. There is not one of you who cannot win the kingdom. The slow, the suffering, the quick, the dead.” How is that a power hungry figure? Judas’ point is not that Jesus is power hungry. It’s that he’s allowing the people to say he’s the Messiah (which Judas, in this play, isn’t sure of. I’m not sure how he felt in the Bible.), which Judas fears will bring the wrath of Rome and Caesar. He tells Jesus he’s “letting it go too far.” No where, however, does Jesus ask for any of the praise he receives. He just receives it well, because, well, he’s Jesus. He’s a kind, loving figure. He’s not going to be like “shut up, you idiots! Don’t call me the Messiah, Rome will kill us!”

The other complaint I hear is from Jewish people who suggest the musical claims “the Jews” killed Jesus. I don’t think it does. Everyone in the musical who isn’t Roman is Jewish. Some of those people were Jesus supporters til the end. Some, were not. But, that’s like any group of people. You have to also realize that, in this context, the Jews are a people- in an occupied land. Some of them looked at Jesus (in the world of the play), and thought “FINALLY! This man will save us all!” Some of them looked at him and thought “Who does this guy think he is? Claiming to be the son of God? Claiming to be our King? He’s going to get us killed!” (At the time, Rome was ruling and would see any person crowing themselves “king” as a threat.) The chorus in this play works sort of like.. they all just play whatever crowd it is at the time. Sure, it’s supposed to be that some of Jesus’ supporters turned on him. But also, they chorus is just playing that particular crowd. And, I don’t think it suggests that “Jewish people” in general are to blame. Jesus is Jewish, and so are the 12, and so is Mary. Even in the Bible, there are Jewish people who still followed Jesus (who later became what we called Christians later.) There were also probably Jewish people who had no idea any of this was happening. It was, after all, like 30-something AD. News didn’t get around that fast. But, yeah, the story is about Jewish people. All of them are Jewish, except Pilate (who is Roman.) So, it’s a little hard to say “the Jews” killed Jesus, when everyone involved is Jewish, and the person who actually did the killing wasn’t even Jewish. I don’t think the play suggests that at all. It just tells the story as it’s supposed to have happened. That Pilate didn’t think Jesus should be put to death, and the community demanded that he be killed (largely because they were afraid his message would make them a target for Rome.) But again, everyone in the story is Jewish. Jesus didn’t die a “Christian.” He died a Jew. Y’all know how I feel about saying, like, “black on black crime.” It’s the same context. It only happened that way because everyone there was Jewish, not because Jewish people were especially keen on killing Messiahs or something. 

Anyway, I think this is all my thoughts on it, for now. Final thoughts: Brandon Victor Dixon is amazing. Sara Bareilles did a beautiful job as Mary. The cast in general was great. 

Ohhhh! I wanted to comment on this: John Legend’s acting, of course, left something to be desired because, well, he’s not really an actor. But I gotta say, I realllllly love him in Hosanna. Just, his cute, cheeky defiance of the Pharisees? The playing to the actual audience. His smile. AMAZING. He’s best as cheerful Jesus. (I think he plays Jesus a bit too angry, in some scenes. Like, I don’t think he’s angry in the Last Supper, as much as direct/calling them out. But John plays it a little too much like Dream Girls. You know, the moment where everyone gangs up on Effie? That’s almost how John plays it. Jesus is supposed to be his angriest in the Temple scene.) But, yeah, I wanted to give him his props for Hosanna, which is brilliantly played. I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but I’ve watched Hosanna a billion times, already, just because I love how cute John is there. He’s like, silly Pharisees... you don’t even understand that I can’t control this. (Black churches love to pull out that rocks and stones thing. Like “when God wants His praise, He’ll get it. If you don’t praise Him, the rocks and stones will sing out!”) Loved it. I wish one of y’all gif-making folks would make me a gifset. Please? Thanks. 

Bye.

Princess stories I wish I’d had as a child.

(So this wound up being about twice as long as planned but it feels good to finally get it all out there)

Okay so, this has kind of been bouncing around in my head since I saw Wonder Woman over the summer. 

I grew up watching Disney movies and I am a huge Disney nerd to this day but the older  I get the more I come to realize that as much as I love the Disney princess movies, I can’t really support some of their messages, intentional or not, as a woman in her 20s out of college, as  I could in the past, even in high school. 

Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the movies are a product of their time, and for a long time in our society the main path a girl’s life took was grow up, meet a boy, get married, have lots of babies. There was a huge amount of focus on maintaining the white picket fence life in America. Though we as women have made huge strides since the first Disney movie was produced, I feel like entertainment media takes a while to catch up to the changes society makes, especially media who’s target audience is made up of mostly kids.

In spite of all of this I think that Walt Disney himself was in favor of gender equality, even if it might not have been in the same manor and degree that we have today. He and his company made their mark on the world by making movies about female protagonists. Yes, you can argue that the women portrayed in the movies aren’t great role models and I agree with you. However, even in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” the main conflict is between two women. (Messed up and vain though that conflict may be.) Then in 1946, Disney produced a short film called “The Story of Menstruation. That’s right. Disney made a short film that gives accurate health information about periods in FUCKING 1946. While it is not perfect (come on it’s post-War, women are still expected to marry and have babies), it explains periods in accurate and scientific language and most importantly, emphasizes that periods are a normal and healthy (if annoying) part of every uterus-possessing human’s life. In 1946! I didn’t even realize that this existed until I was in college and I didn’t believe the friend who told me about it until they pulled it up and made me watch it. Why wasn’t this used or even mentioned in sex ed growing up? Though it is old and doesn’t really explain sex past mentioning that it is necessary for pregnancy to occur, it still is just a good jumping off point as anything I was shown/told as a pre-teen. Come on, this is a great resource to show a child who is asking the early questions about puberty (which happens way earlier than any parent is ready for. I myself was a very curious child and asked a lot of embarrassing questions WAY before my parents thought they would have to answer any of them.)

Okay, that was more than I thought I had to say on that but anyways, back to the Princess movies themselves. The one that I have the biggest problem with is “The Little Mermaid.” I know “Sleeping Beauty” is pretty bad too with the whole ‘unconscious therefor unable to give consent thing’ but honestly that for whatever reason doesn’t get to me like Ariel’s story does.

Before I totally start ragging on this movie let me just say I really loved this movie for a long time. I’m very musical and the music is amazing. I grew up singing them and “Poor Unfortunate Souls” is in my top 10 villain songs. (Also Ursula is based on a famous drag queen named Divine, which is awesome.) I love all of the songs in this movie, even the forgettable one at the beginning. But once you string them together with the rest of the story, I just can’t get behind the final product anymore. A few years ago, my mom showed me a video that  Mayim Bialik posted on her YouTube channel where she talks about how she reacted to the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-9pm8Zy7SY). At first I thought ‘okay she has a point but it’s still a classic story’ then I started to think about it off and on in the back of my mind, along with reading and looking into the original story by H. C. Anderson (which, not exactly a kids story, be prepared for a lot of questions and blood). And I slowly came to realize that I can’t support showing this movie to my own kids someday without first having a serious talk about self-respect. No one should be told that they have to change a fundamental part of who they are or their body to find “love”. REAL “True Love” is accepting and unconditional, fish tail and all.

So where exactly does Wonder Woman come into all of this? Well back when I saw it in June, I was a bit hesitant because I’ve always kind of written WW off because of her outfit. Not my finest choice I’ll admit, but, nerd though I am, I never have been big into comic books or the Justice League cartoons (though Teen Titans with Raven and Starfire was one of my favorites. It hasn’t been until more recently that I have really come to appreciate the superhero genre.) But when I heard that WW was getting her own big screen story, I was intrigued. I didn’t know much going in, though I had high hopes. I’m a bit embarrassed to say I went partially because of Chris Pine because I tend to enjoy the projects he picks. But when I saw the movie, I was blown away. Not that the movie doesn’t have its weak spots for me (Ares took quite a bit of convincing). But as I came out of the theater I finally understood why my brothers love superhero movies. Seeing a woman (or in this case, a lot of women) on screen kicking butt, making their own stories, and being general badasses gave me this surge of confidence that I could do anything I set my mind to. This is a movie I didn’t know I was missing until I saw it. The more I read about how Patty Jenkins went about creating the world of  Themyscira, like hiring a range of women of color, female body builders, weightlifters and wrestlers, it didn’t even occur to me that muscles on women are often considered ugly by our society. These women had bodies that reflected the work that they put in everyday and the power and strength that they possess. They are beautiful and send a beautiful message to young girls that they can be anything damn social standards of gender roles and beauty.

So I saw WW months ago and had talked to my friends about it but my thoughts and the powerful message stayed mostly in my head until now. Why? Well, I was several videos deep in a YouTube binge about a week and a half ago when I came across one from ScreenRant called “10 Rejected Princesses that Actually Exist” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3PUQtHXbiE). Now seeing as I am a total sucker for a title like that, naturally I open the video. Expecting stories from different mythos and legends from around the world (like the original Little Mermaid) I was very surprised to learn that this list was mostly made up of real women from different cultures around the world. Yes, there are a few legends and myths thrown in but mostly these women actually existed.

So turns out that this video is in fact based on a book written by a guy named  Jason Porath, an ex-Dreamworks animator, who, following a bet at work, decided that these women needed to have their stories told. Some time and a book deal later “Rejected Princesses” was born. A collection of 100 stories about badass women who changed their worlds. (http://www.rejectedprincesses.com/) 

I’m only about half way through but the more of the book I read the more I wish someone had given me this book as a kid. Mind you, not all of these stories are 100% appropriate (some of the ones at the end of the book are 5 on a 1-5 scale for maturity.) for every little kid but the fact that this book exists and tells real stories without shying away from the real situations that these women lived through is an amazing thing. There are women of color, lesbian and bi- women and probably many more as I haven’t finished the book yet. Haha (Trying to read three books at once is not my smartest life decision.) 

The older I get, the more I see things in my childhood that reinforced the more traditional male/female gender roles on me. My parents never told me I couldn’t do something just because I was a girl and they have always encouraged me to learn and do well in school, especially they encouraged my interest in science. But as things like WW and “Rejected Princesses” come to my attention I realize that just because I didn’t realize their influence was missing doesn’t mean I didn’t feel it. I remember having few role models in media and always being told to let the boys do the physical stuff instead of me.

It is not enough to simply tell girls and women they can do anything and be anything they want. We have to give them examples and role models to show that they come from a long line of capable, independent, smart, strong, badass women and the keys to the kingdom are theirs to take and explode into the world with.

“People say I'm crazy Doing what I'm doing Well, they give me all kinds of warnings To save me from ruin”

- John Lennon

I have been asked by the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce to give a talk tomorrow as part of their “Professional Speaker Series.”  That implies two things: 1) that I am professional, and 2) that I have something useful to say.  Despite neither being true, I accepted the offer as I am certain it is the first time that anyone who grew up in Bensenville has been given a formal invitation into the city.  While we often sneak over the border to visit Hamburger Heaven or see a movie at the York, we quickly slip back over Grand Avenue once we are done to avoid unwanted attention.  So, it’s nice to for once be recognized “officially” in the city and I thank the Chamber for breaking so many years of tension between the two municipalities by having me speak.

Problem is that I now realize they actually want me to fill an hour of time.  I can fill an hour of time in many ways, but it seems that such a monumental gesture deserves better than a token effort.  I thought giving some insight on what it is like to be a small business owner would make some sense with the audience being made up of a lot of similar folks.  While Hollywood likes to depict the small business as a glamorous lifestyle free of stress and worry, those of us who actually run one know better.  More importantly, we know that the road to success is full of landmines that would be nice to avoid.  Since I have stepped on all of them, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share my story and the seven biggest mistakes that I have made (so far). Recognizing that not all of you may have been able to secure a prized invitation to tomorrow’s event, I have taken the liberty to giving you the outline of my speech here.  This way, if you decide to start a business today, you won’t be making any of these mistakes while waiting for me to tell you them. So, without further ado, here are the seven things I did that you should avoid:

1)  Treating your business like a job – I am sure that everyone has a very specific and personal reason for starting a business, but I’m guessing that all did it partially because they didn’t want a regular job.  The problem with that is most of us starting businesses have had jobs before we became entrepreneurs, and we don’t how to do anything else, so we keep “working” at our new “job”.  My first few months “on the job” were spent managing expectations imposed on me by past supervisors that I was now putting on myself.  Worse, this was preventing me from setting more relevant new expectations. I quickly realized that a lot of time that is spent on any job is wasted in your own business.  That time is too valuable to use on anything but productive activities that grow the business any all other activities need to be cut. Once I realized my business was not a job, I actually found the experience more enjoyable as the time I was spending on it no longer felt like an obligation.  I also saw my work/life balance improve because there was no useless “face time” needed at my own business and I could leave once I accomplished my goals for that day.  It all proved that time is money, and when you own a small business maybe it is worth even more.

2)  Getting by on your gut – The other downside of coming into a new business from a job is that you have a lot of past experience.  Some of that experience is useful, particularly the pieces you can use to create goods and/or services and sell them, but a lot of that experience leads to overconfidence.  That overconfidence then leads to decisions getting made from the gut far too often.  Quick decisions are sometimes a good (and necessary) part of starting and running a new business, but more often than not, deeper analysis is required in most situations.  More importantly, you need to have the humility to accept that you are mostly in new territory and a new thought process is going to be needed.  Falling back on what worked in the past is a sure path to eventual failure.  I think it is fair to say that I wasted both time and money that I thought I was saving by making quick decisions based on past experience.  If I had invested more analysis into the situation, the return on that time would have been much greater.  I now understand that, and while I still need to make a quick decision at times, I always pause for a moment to check that it’s not just my gut that is making the call.

3)  Being a one-man (or woman) band – An unwanted byproduct of mistake #2 is thinking that you, as supreme commander of your business, can do everything yourself.  Part of this comes from a lack of objectivity about your talents, but a bigger part is probably due to wanting to save money.  My favorite example of this was my choice to set up my own computer.  I fancied myself a pretty knowledgeable IT person and figured these things are ready to go out of the box, so how long could it take?  When my wife left the house at 9:00 (I was still working without an office, a mistake we’ll discuss later), I was just getting started.  When she came home at 5:00, I was still just getting started. Once I finally acknowledged that I did not know what I was doing (with her help in pointing that out), I found a trusted professional to take over the job to do it right.  His quote to me was $179 higher than normal because he was going to have to undo all broke trying to do it myself.  Everyone probably has a story like this, but it makes a pretty easy to see point: just because it is your company doesn’t mean you are now an expert in everything. If you are too small to hire, then outsource.  While the cash out of the pocket may be tough up front, the time wasted is far more valuable (and you’ll likely pay someone more in the end anyway).

4)  Using your kitchen table as a conference room – Another brilliant cost-saving idea I had was to work out of my home.  As a service provider, I didn’t necessarily need a bricks-and-mortar storefront, so an office seemed a luxury.  While I do think work-at-home has some merits, running a whole business exclusively out of a spare bedroom comes fraught with danger. Distractions around the house were not a huge problem for me (though probably more than I think), but I quickly found home and work life blurring too much for my taste.  Then the problem of where to meet with employees, vendors, and even clients became an issue.  It finally occurred to me after having to have a team meeting in my dining room that I needed space that was separate from where I lived so I could work in a more professional setting.  I now look at the rent I pay as a monthly investment that has been paying dividends ever since the move.  Not only do I feel it fosters a more productive and collaborative environment for my team, I got my privacy back at home.  Most importantly, it made it much easier to separate my time between the business and family and I think made much more productive and present for both.

5)  Making your target market everybody – Having come from a big firm, where I had a lot of resources backing me up, we had a huge market for the services we provided.  This included a wide geography and many types of clients when we put marketing plans together. When I went off on my own, I was smart enough to hire a talented expert to help me draft a good plan, but when she asked me what my target markets were, I was way too ambitious.  I basically was replicating the market I served with the bigger firm without acknowledging the reality that I did not have the resources to do that. A lot of this was a byproduct of my second mistake (going with my gut) instead of doing my own analysis.  Once I really looked at things objectively, I was able to refine the area and type of client I wanted my market to cover.  This exercise also helped me better define why I wanted to go into business on my own in the first place, which was to serve the clients I wanted in the manner I saw best to fit their needs.  Plus, it helped me get to focus on a small geography that allowed me to brand myself as a local option which can be attractive to some.  It also allowed me to specialize in services in demand in that market versus going out and finding clients to fit what I thought I should be doing.  Along the way, I changed my initial plan but also found that there were things I hadn’t done in the past that I really liked. 

6)  Not knowing when to say no – Generally, getting any business is a positive, especially when you are just starting out.  The issue then becomes how much do you charge.  This has been a problem for small business owners forever and nothing has changed that fact.  The economics are simple: if you price too high you won’t get the work, and if you price too low, you end up losing money.  Of the two, I think the latter is what can bring a small business down quicker than anything.  I had a partner at my old firm who came up with a great saying when we started complaining about a cheap competitor that was under pricing the market.  He said “let them fill up on junk and we’ll be ready when they serve the meal”.  That made way more sense to me once I was running things on my own and my resources were precious.  Taking on work that I under priced just to get it robbed me of the opportunity of finding other work that more appropriately valued my services.  It all starts with pricing and having the confidence to say this is what my product or service is worth and then having the fortitude to stick to that when someone suggests otherwise.  It requires a lot of patience, but I think the small business owner who is in it for the long haul will reap much greater dividends down the road with a well thought out pricing structure that truly reflects what he or she is really worth to that market.

7)  Forgetting to be yourself – Part of the reason I left the corporate world was that I was sick of pretending to be someone I wasn’t.  It was affecting my health greatly and I just wasn’t happy.  The culture in the firm I was at was work a lot, be miserable doing it, and be proud of both.  I had colleagues who would brag about their weekly hours as if it was a contest and then later tell you how much they hated their lives.  As you move up the ranks in any company, you also spend a lot of time molding your personality to what you think is acceptable.  I loved my work, my clients and my staff, but I couldn’t stand any longer “playing the game” (which I wasn’t very good at anyway).  I figured starting my own business would be a great way to have the best of both worlds.  Problem was that the first few months or so I still had that corporate mentality and I still wasn’t happy.  Then, some personal things happened that forced my perspective to change and I came around to the fact that being myself was what those clients liked at my old firm, so why not try that.  Once I did that, I became more relaxed and built confidence in my ability to do what I really wanted.  I started doing things that I would have never done while with the firm.  One of them is writing this blog, which has been a wonderful outlet for me and which is why I am sharing it with the group at the presentation.  There is nothing that I have written in this blog that I am ashamed or embarrassed to share because it is me being honest about who I am.  I recognize the risk in people “finding out” who I really am, but I am totally at peace with that.  I would rather take the chance that there are other people out there who respect what I am doing versus pretending to be something I am not just to sell them some business.  It is a risky approach for sure, but for me it is the only choice.

Will any of this advice be helpful?  I honestly don’t know, but I hope it resonates if you have ever tried working for yourself.  The bottom line for me is that despite all of the hardships I love what I do, and I have never looked back on the decision to strike out on my own.  I enjoy doing the work I was trained to do in an environment that I created, and I love serving people and doing what I can to make a positive impact on their lives.  I also appreciate the opportunities I have come across to work more within the community like this speaking engagement with the Chamber.  It’s not perfect, but it was never intended to be, and once I realized that, the stress levels went down, and my feelings of satisfaction went up. Will I make more mistakes?  There is no doubt the answer is yes.  The real questions are what I do with those mistakes and how do I learn from them.  And I think that is the biggest thing that I have learned from this whole experience – that mistakes are opportunities and as human being we make lots of mistakes. By definition, that means our opportunity in this life is endless if we first admit we are not perfect.  

Cheers,

Jim

Instead of Punching Nazis, Steal Their Target Audience From Them

If America today is analogous to Nazi Germany, the people I'm arguing against act like we're in 1938, with annexations of our neighbors and Kristallnacht looming near.  We're not.  We're not even in 1933 at the beginning of the dictatorship yet.  We're still somewhere in the 20s.  The Nazis are clearly, obviously evil, going around attacking people and screaming about how the Jews/liberals/non-whites/foreigners/etc. are ruining the country, and even have some friends in high places.  But most of the country still isn't willing to vote for them.  We the enemies of Naziism, all of us from ultra-conservatives like Orrin Hatch all the way to leftists and progressives like many of you my friends are, aren't in the place of some underground resistance movement fighting a guerrilla campaign against the omnipresent Nazi menace.  We are right now all in the place of the other political parties that fucking failed to fix Germany by peaceful means after WW1.  And there are a lot of disgruntled but politically detached people out there who aren't Nazis but might be persuaded to vote for Nazis if we don't get to them first with better ideas.

We saw this last year when millions of disgruntled former Obama voters and millions of voters who said they normally don't vote at all came out to support a notoriously incompetent asshole who stumbled into being the first major presidential candidate since Wilson to receive the endorsement of the Klan and not disavow it.  Never forget that Hitler didn't gain power through coercion like Mussolini or revolution like Franco.  He was the leader of a major political party, elected partially because of terrorism, but also largely because his party was able to convince the public that they could solve their problems.  The Nazis and their ideological cousins in the alt-right are competing with us now to win over the people who are, frankly, ignorant of or disinterested in politics and therefore vulnerable to Nazis winning them over by presenting their mix of paranoia and outright lies nicely.

The people we are competing with them over, or ought to be, are the people I've heard ranting my entire life — and I know, any of you New Englanders, that you have heard them too, and are probably related to some of them — about "reverse racism" and "handouts", and how the Clintons are secret murderers, and so on blah blah blah.  They're wrong, and they don't understand what we're talking about.  But that's not how we respond to them.  Instead, we respond to them by writing them off as unfixably hateful and accuse them of lying rather than not understanding.  We push them away into the waiting hands of Nazi propagandists.  Nazis, like the toxic right-wing talkshow media, respond to them by egging them on to embrace and use their anger, Emperor Palpatine-style.  Any chance we give the Nazis to portray themselves as the victim of leftist aggression is another voter who, when it is time for our equivalent of the 1932 elections, will go to the polls and support the Nazis even though they may not personally be a Nazi.

But the propaganda is out there, and the rallies are happening, and they have an audience.  Clearly something must be done.  So what is to be done about the Nazis themselves?  How can we possibly avoid seeming to engaging them as equals, which would give them the same false balance legitimacy currently enjoyed by creationists and anti-vaxers and climate change deniers?  Not through preemptive violence.  We should certainly be willing to fight in self-defense, or in the defense of another we can help, but remember, there is already a narrative out there of "violent leftists" who need "law and order" brought down upon them.  The president himself buys into and spreads this.  We need to make him look ridiculous.

When the NAACP took up the case of Rosa Parks, rather than any of the other people who defied bus segregation before her, it was because they and Parks understood how easily-swayed people are by victim-blaming.  When a bad thing happens to someone, it seems to be a baked-in human instinct to examine the victim to see why they "provoked" something bad, rather than examining what's wrong with the offender to make them think victimizing someone could possibly be okay.  They sought out a person about whom the fewest negative things could be said.  This is an effective tactic.  It anticipates and shuts down the stupid but popular arguments people are drawn to.  By showcasing the most clear-cut, inarguable cases of injustice, that bulk of disengaged public sees that a system they were previously indifferent to ought to be actively changed or destroyed.  By fighting only defensively, I believe we can preempt any attempt by the Nazis to use that tactic on us.  Make it clear that the victim of an act of racist or other bigoted violence did nothing to provoke it, and you turn the public's outrage on the offender, and maybe even on the ideology that encouraged the violence.

It is also worth remembering at this point that, as Jon Stewart put it, the bias of the mainstream media is towards sensationalism, conflict, and laziness.  They want someone to get pundits enraged at because enraged pundits get them viewers or listeners or readers, and viewers or listeners or readers get them ad revenue.  Let someone make a heinous speech and the news cycle will be about what a fucking piece of shit that person is.  Punch someone making a heinous speech, and the news cycle will be fake-balance arguments about how there's "anger on both sides".

So what about "fighting" metaphorically, by disrupting the lives of Nazis (or Nazi-allies)?  Public shame will do something, right?  Well, maybe, if you get the right person.  A friend did a back-of-the-envelope-type estimate using some demographic data about this.  If we assume for the sake of argument that every alt-rightist is a white American man, distributed randomly among all white American men in general appearance, and we have pictures of every single alt-rightist based on estimates of how many of them there are, and we only make mistakes 1% of the time in matching the alt-rightists' faces to the faces of all white American men, the number of innocent people we falsely identified as alt-rightists would be over 24 times the number of correctly-identified alt-rightists.  Indeed, we've already seen some false identifications based on pictures of people from the "Unite the Right" rally.  (And just a few years ago, internet vigilantes also came to confidently wrong conclusions about the identities of the Boston Marathon bombers in exactly the same way, by poring over mediocre-to-poor-quality photos of the event, although thankfully police realized quickly these were incorrect.)

And even if you do get the right person, are you sure you want to actively encourage managers to fire people for their activities outside of work?  Remember those people I mentioned earlier who are outraged about "reverse racism" and so on?  Some of those people are managers.  Some managers will fire Nazis because, quite accurately, they understand that Nazis are bad.  But other managers will, based on the same encouragement, fire Black Lives Matter protestors.  It's not hard to find examples of political commentators or even politicians calling BLM black supremacists or even terrorists.  Because you know what?  People don't make rational decisions based on what is actually true.  Ever.  About anything.  They make vaguely-approaching-rational decisions based on what feels true.

You may trust yourself, or a really good boss you have, to make this sort of decision.  I may even agree with those judgements.  But recall the worst boss you've had, or the worst boss someone you know has had.  Someone obnoxious, petty, ignorant, mean, or clearly looking for an excuse, any excuse, to fire someone.  Now imagine how they'd react if you said "you should fire people for being hateful outside of work".  They might fire a Nazi, but I'd place my bet on them firing a BLM supporter, or someone with a different religion than them (because, of course, disagreeing with someone's religion is blasphemy, and blasphemy is hate speech!), or someone who is very much not a Nazi but the manager falsely thinks they are because they just read a wrongheaded book or blog post that argues that some group of people actual Nazis hate, like gay people, or completely mainstream moderates, are the "real" Nazis.

If you really feel compelled to take matters into your own hands, proceed with the extremest of extreme caution, understand your own ignorance and failures and biases, admit to and suffer the consequences of your mistakes if you harm the innocent, and absolutely do not fire unless fired upon.

The last several days of arguments I've seen, and occasionally participated in, online have just gotten nasty and frustrating.  So this post is all I intend to say on the topic.  I am sick of being misconstrued by people I would otherwise firmly agree with.  I would just like to remind them that I understand exactly what is on the line if the Nazis actually win; just off the top of my head, there are at least three, maybe seven if you really reach, reasons I will be sent to a concentration camp if America truly follows the trajectory of Nazi Germany.  That's why I am so emphatic that we must head off the Nazis.  We must stop them from using the media to their favor, and we must win over their target audience of people who are vaguely upset and frustrated but do not know at whom their frustration should be directed.  We must reach out to the angry but not very politically engaged public and do a decent job of explaining ourselves to them and debunking Nazi paranoia and lies before the Nazis have the chance to suck them in first.

So, rather than packing plus cracking a keyword into your own content as much as a person can, white hat SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION will help you with the particular usage in such a method how the content makes sense plus engages visitors well.

Right here is the trick, attach the link inside your content of your own target website, helping your focus on audience in reaching your web site, increasing traffic and impacting SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION. SEO optimized posts have a tendency to rank high in research results compared those unoptimized articles. The factor about YouTube Google rankings given that April 2014 Google had the major update, many vseo possess been crying however the answer is pretty simple. If a person have just started your SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION campaign for the brand-new website, after that you should focus on long-tail keywords. SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION, alone, is not enough in order to guarantee success and content advertising, alone, is not enough in order to guarantee success. I actually believe by now, most associated with the principles of SEO are usually more or less well realized by people that have performed their amount of time within the trenches since 1999, even though new platforms and data sorts arrive all the time maintaining the need for ongoing exercise or testing even more essential than in the past. That's why a good consumer experience from an SEO viewpoint is more than your website's speed. For instance, a few businesses miss the mark along with SEO and images, and nevertheless rank well. If you want increased rankings, you need to study his stuff - he's the particular Unicorn among a sea associated with donkey SEOs. Consumer Experience as such has a good enormous influence on SEO. Off-page SEO very efficiently within promoting your company where interpersonal media, bookmarking sites, forums, weblog directory, Q&A, articles, videos, picture and infographic sharing, and record sharing play well. So just how do the SEO masters cope-up with the ever-changing context through the search engines? For instance, parenthetically we want to create a blog post about SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION because we are trying in order to build a inbound link in order to an SEO website. That will number will probably tick upward as SEOs become more advanced in their strategies and Search engines is constantly on the location so much emphasis on hyperlinks.

Blog Post 1

I go on runs from time to time when I’m back in Burbank, I enjoy keeping active, but it’s mostly an excuse to get out of the house. When I come home on holiday, I become confined to my parents house without any means of viable transportation. I have my drivers license, sure, but no car. My parents can’t afford to buy me one, and I can’t afford to get one myself. In fact, even if I could afford a car, I certainly couldn’t afford the insurance to go with it. Anyway, all this is to say I go on runs so I don’t feel too confined to my house.

That’s not very interesting, is it? Some things just tend to be that way. The life of a poor twenty-one year old white kid is never all that interesting in the first place. My life, my story, whatever it is, is not irregular. In fact, it’s one most people in America know very well, because it gets championed whenever one of us poor white kids gets rich and famous. Surprise, surprise, it happens pretty frequently.

So why write about it? I don’t know. Does it really matter if no one sees it in the first place? Maybe not. I guess I backed myself into a corner. If you’re reading this (if anyone is reading this) you’re probably expecting me to dive further in. Ultimately, you might say, there’s no point in agonizing over whether or not you’re going to talk about your life, because you already started writing a blog post about it, and it has to go somewhere. It does, doesn’t it? So why start with a lengthy preamble full of rhetorical questions? Besides being a clear literary crutch I’m struggling with, I think I feel indebted to having a conversation or dialogue about these things, as if to hide from some private guilt I have in telling any personal story. Writing has clearly become some sort of therapy to me, where I play both doctor and patient. The results are always inconclusive.

Anyway I should get back to the bullshit lede about running. Look, I like running, and it’s when my head is its most clear, so forgive me for using it as a starting point. Most of my ideas come to me when I run, so it was only fitting that it become the brief anecdote that starts a blog post that holds the kernel of what I’m going for. Which, now that I’m thinking about it, I didn’t really get to. Look at me, whining before I even finished my “insignificant thing is contorted into something profound” anecdote. Okay, I’ll finish the story:

I like to go on runs. I feel trapped at my house, and I like to get out. Anyway, whenever I run, I take the same path. It leads away from my house towards the park in the hills where people would take their prom photos back in high school. The path mostly runs parallel to the major streets and hits several large intersections on its way. In all, the run from the house to the park and back is about five miles. Yesterday, I reached the park and stopped for some water. This wasn’t irregular or anything, but I took my time and drank more that I usually would. Then, something compelled me to keep running. The hills in Burbank are filled with expensive homes, and near the top of the street, sort of tucked away, there’s a pretty large mansion that’s almost gothic in its design. Anyway, I guess it was my curiosity that drove me to keep going. To get a look at that mansion, and the others around it.

So, I kept running for another half mile or so to see this mansion. On the way up, the houses got larger and more impressive looking, and I was filled with a mounting sense of dread. Eventually I reached the cul-de-sac with the house on its end. Naturally the street, called Viewcrest if you can believe it, was the most decadent one yet. Their driveways were filled with expensive cars I don’t know the names of, carefully manicured lawns, and about ten security cameras lining every porch. I got closer to the end of the street where the imposing mansion was, but it was tucked away from the front and hardly visible. I didn’t get much closer than fifty or sixty feet. The drive way had a large black Hummer sitting in it; another, more psychological warning sign for someone like me to keep away.

I left pretty quickly after I got there. No one was out, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of being unwelcome. Before I turned the corner and left the street completely, I had the strange desire for someone to come out of their house and scold me for even coming there. In this fantasy, would I stand my ground, or run away as is fitting for my station? My brain firing it’s typically small amount of synapses couldn’t quite make it that far. Instead, I was caught up in the swell of what righteous injustice such a thing should muster.

This story isn’t very interesting, I know. Nothing really happens in it and there isn’t much imagery to it, but it caught me off guard as I thought about it again today. I had the idea to write about the experience soon after it happened while I was still running, but I, ever the proactive one, put it off. In sitting down with it today, I realize how full of shit I am.

Before I go on, I’ll give a little more context for my life. As mentioned briefly before, I’m a poor white kid. My parents are loving if occasionally abusive, or maybe abusive if occasionally loving. We live in my (deceased) grandmothers house and can’t afford any necessary repairs on it to make the place livable. My dad lost his job about a year and a half ago that was going to take him to retirement, now he works at target. My mother is a hoarder, not to the extreme you may have seen on television, but certainly well beyond what the general society might deem as healthy. She works just enough hours at the Disney Corporation’s day care so that they don’t have to give her full time benefits.

Two of my adult brothers still live at home, crowding the house further. They could, should they allot their funds correctly, afford to have their own place, but my parents discourage that sort of thing. Coming from lower middle class families, both of them have really only known economic uncertainty their whole lives. To have their children live lives separated from themselves means certain uncertainty. Plus, when you don’t have the kids at home, there’s no one left to accuse of being a burden.

I, more than any of my brothers, struggled against my parents to have a normal life. For a while I was pretty damaged; my parents fundamental conservatism really did a number on me. I was a hateful kid, saying cruel things to people that didn’t deserve it. When I got to high school, it took a little while, but I became a better person. Still prone to bouts of selfishness, I began to try a little harder for things. I quit running competitively in high school to join the theater, much to my parents chagrin, and also started dating. Naturally my parents tried putting a stop to both.

By the time I finished high school, I had cut ties with most everyone that knew me there. By its end, I had partially realized that I hadn’t progressed all that much as a person and was still rather selfish. My assumptions that people did not like me were eventually proven correct when I had finally done something that had made me worth disliking. I receded further into myself, even more aware of my deepest flaws.

Eventually I made it to college where I became more depressed than I had ever been before. Towards the end of the semester, my mom ordered me to call after weeks of ignoring her. During that phone call, I told her that I wanted to kill myself. Horrified, she said that they could afford to send me to therapy, I said no, it would be too much of a hassle and it would get to be too expensive. She was relieved and thus the matter was settled and never spoken of again.

So today, I sit in my crowded bedroom in my decaying house (yes, there are rats now) and try and write a story, a true story, about how running in the rich part of town made me sad. So often I am desperately seeking a new lede, some way to ease into the story of my life, so I come up with the flimsiest ones imaginable as opposed to just starting from the beginning. I’m no one I tell myself, so why bother in the first place? No one will read it anyway. But so often, I’m met with the same dull idea that I have a story worth telling. The cynic in me is so embarrassed to want to explain away my life that it has to invent a dialogue with no one to justify wanting to tell an over told story. The poet in me wants to make something beautiful out of my life, and will find any excuse to do so in the most meaningless of events. The realist is here with you trying to make sense of these two voices.

I am obsessed with artifice. Look anywhere in my life and you’ll see it. I’m a theater performance major. I sit at home alone and watch movies that very few people like to gage some sensationalist position on. I go running by major streets hoping that someone, anyone from my past will see me and say hello. I run to the park I took my prom pictures at for the hope that some ounce of high school happiness will be absorbed back into myself, so that I can pretend I didn’t lose all my friends from those years by being selfish. I run further into the hills because deep down I know it might lead to something worth writing about. Only to now finally realize there wasn’t much of a story there to begin with. There, or anywhere.

Self pitying is probably what most people would call this. I’ll probably call it that too. Maybe it’s a cry for help. Maybe. Or maybe it’s a desperate plea for attention from an empty audience, because the author thinks that’s most poetic of all.
