I’m a simple soul

I see a hot blooded trauma fueled man with an ego and daddy issues become an unwilling single mother who then steps up after multiple trials and errors to grow into a proper parent that fights tooth and nail for his daughter AND face said daddy issues head on for the betterment of his child thus reconciling and healing his own relationship with his father and bringing an enthusiastic grandpa into the mix

and I crumble

I’ve seen so much shitty ship content in the marble hornets fandom since I’ve joined that I’m starting to get sick of shipping as a whole, ngl. I’m staring hard at the main contenders here, Jaylex, Brim, and Jam. Brilex is another ship I see frequently fucked up a lot too, but yea whatever. I’m not condemning people who get it wrong because I’m not the goddamn messiah of characterization either but there’s gotta be a line to be drawn, right? like with all the absurd vaguely uncensored abused x abuser content associated with jaylex, the uncomfortable brim content where every instance of hoody fucking up Tim's life on **PURPOSE** is ignored for the sake of a cuddle or for the sake of sexualization, THE HEAVY OVER-SEXUALIZATION OF BRILEX, and the fully fleshed out personalities of Tim and Jay being washed away and sacrificed for mischaracterized, stereotypical, romantic interactions that really isn’t something the character would ever do but rather something the author wants them to act out. <- honestly the last bit can be applied to all other ships too! And it isn’t my only gripe with Jam specifically but I feel like my specific criticism on it deserves another post that will probably never come haha.

The brainrot has finally won I’m talking about the journalist now-

Because like… Bugsnax has so many interesting characters and it’s so weird to say they’re my favorite but I’m just so impressed by the way they were characterized-

They’re just??? I’m forever gonna be in love with how the devs nailed that line between “character that represents you” and “character with a distinct personality and goal” because that’s so hard to do correctly and they nailed it.

They’re a blank slate at their core. A character to project on. Nameless, voiceless, faceless… you can turn them into whatever you want (both in and outside game) and chances are it’ll fit perfectly into the rest of the puzzle that is “canon.” You get a few guidelines and nothing else because the bottom line is that they’re the player. There’s a whole tag related to ocs of this sort and each one is beautifully unique.

And yet they’re still the journalist. The fandom recognizes them as their own character with their own relationships. They’re sarcastic and dorky when they do speak. They’ve got opinions and goals and so much personality that shows through the little things.

They’re kind of a pushover. Impulsive. A foil to Filbo and a parallel to Lizbert. They doodle in their journal and believe in cryptids. They’re ridiculously tough and can survive jumping off the side of a mountain and being set on fire for half a minute. They’re a character just like the rest of the town, even with that blank slate core.

I could write an entire essay about this creature. I just love it. It’s a huge relief for people like me who struggle with having multiple sonas cause it lets me relate to a pre-established character without mischaracterizing them entirely. It’s a window of connection that lets people get sucked in while also keeping a distance if they want to. All of my favorite games manage to do this sort of thing and god damn I wanna play more that do.

Jon becoming KiTN in Winds (specifically) would actually be bad as far as themes go

bruh. how come nobody has ever called me out for taking too long into uploading something? 😭 if I was following myself, I would’ve asked like “girl where tf are your stories?” lmaoosjsjsj

[iguessitsjustme]

I’m writing this while walking to work so forgive me if it’s not entirely coherent. I think it might benefit some people to have a reminder that books and show/movie adaptations are different. Reading the book might mean you know the framework for the show/movie but it does not make you An Expert on the show/movie.

First and foremost, I’m not going to say don’t post spoilers, but I will so do not go onto someone else’s post and post spoilers. You would not like it if someone came into your house and spoiled things for you. Do not do that to others. It is not only incredibly rude. It is entirely selfish. Which brings me to my next point.

If reading the book enhances your experience, if it’s something you enjoy, I’m glad! I am so incredibly happy for you. It does not make you smarter or inherently more informed than the people that choose not to read for whatever reason.

You might know what happens and have more knowledge about the story as a whole but that does not mean that people that are posting predictions or speculations don’t know what they’re talking about. I know a lot of people that watch these shows have some sort of degree in writing or literature or visual media. Gonna use myself as an example here, I have a degree in writing. I am decent at analysis. I mostly post silly little shitposts or memes but all of my posts are operating from a place of being informed.

I am capable of predicting what’s gonna happen. I am aware of narrative structures. I’m aware of plot devices. I’m aware of the common tropes in the shows I watch. And that doesn’t matter! Because that is entirely Not The Point. I don’t care if I predict accurately. It’s not about the what happens. It’s always about how we get there.

Of all of the shows that are airing and I can pretty much tell you what the ending of each of them is going to be. Even without reading the novels. That does not make them any less enjoyable for me. It makes them even more enjoyable. Cause now I get to watch for the details. I get to watch and see how this show has decided to show the journey of the story. And sometimes how they completely rewrite expectations. Some of the things I have watched have been very, extremely good at subverting tropes and expectations. Things can veer off in directions you don’t expect even if you’ve read the novel. Simply because it’s a different story. It is imposssible to do a 1 to 1 adaptation. As much as we might want it. It is simply not possible.

I have read a few novels that the shows are based on. Every single show has made drastic changes to the source material. So while you might have knowledge of what’s to come in the novel. You might have the ability to spoil everyone for what’s coming, even you can’t be 100% sure until it happens. And condescendingly telling people it’s so obvious when you have future knowledge is incredibly unacceptable.

This has gotten very long and I am actually at work now and should probably actually do my job but I just need to reiterate. Reading the novels is fine! It’s fun! I am genuinely so happy people are reading and enjoying themselves and also enjoying the shows! That is wonderful! But do not ruin or attempt to ruin someone else’s enjoyment simply because you think you know more. Make posts about the differences on your own blog. Talk about spoilers with friends that have also read the novel. But do not go onto a stranger’s post and post spoilers because you might be ruining the media you love for that person without even realizing what you’re doing.

I have had tumblr for close to two years, I have run several bracket tournaments, I have just used the queue/schedule feature for the first time

[bittyfromquotev]

Hey guys for the next few days (or ever, really unless something comes up again) if I start saying anything about what happened yesterday and this morning, please come into my ask box and tell me to stop.

I don’t think I’d respond well to it in DMs (idk why I just have a feeling) and I need a reminder that won’t be aggressive.

For my mental health and everyone else’s comfort. Please and thank you.

[slap-my-hand]

I really dislike being anxious ! Like why can I not just talk to people without worrying I will say or do something to make them hate me
