i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

I could go on and on and spiral about a LOT of things relating to NSBU:

The NATURE of the nsbu movie and what THAT could entail and what THAT could mean for the characters in this movie

The way at how everyone in the main cast AND barsimmion follow the themes of the lack of change and stalemate in life

#nsbu spoilers #d20 nsbu #never stop blowing up #im so glad they finally ran into barsimmion bc it essentially means we can see what id like to call. the metaplot #which is essentially. okay so you have nsbu the movie plot. the shadow falcons the santo patron the kingskins group etc.#the metaplot is very simply: everything relating to the lake elsinore gang #anyway cal and i devolved into a half an hour talk about what IS nsbu the movie.#and the idea that potential of. almost self awareness to this fact. bc to these guys all of THIS? is resl to them and theyre living it #it changes in a dime #and they keep going. actions and consequences bay bee #so to have this ever flowing ebb and flow of a lifestyle juxtaposed with these 6 normies who REFUSE to do anything more with their life.#or rather might be too scared to consider what could happen if they take the first step or cant emotionally do it. whatever the reason.#putting these guys in situations where THEY DO have to act. where they do have to change bc if they dont they WILL LITERALLY DIE #its fun its really fun to think about

not going to lie i do find it quite upsetting that so many ppl think that animals that arent immediately relatable to humans are completely incapable of thought or feeling. and thats the only thing that matters when it comes to animal rights arguments a lot of the time

#like the take of ohhhh Well this animal is smart and shows emotions!!! it might even be smarter than humans!!!#as if that matters literally at all #like the argument abt fish or hamsters or w/e being stupid (wrong) so it doesnt matterrrrr if they dont get cared for properly #as if its ever ok to mistreat animals.#in general the idea around smaller or less relatable animals being worth less is super frustrating #like if u post abt microwaving ur hamster when u were 6 everyones like ‘lmaoooo i did the same thing’#but if u posted that abt a dog….? The Gallows #we shouldnt have to care abt mistreatment of animals bc theyre cute or funny or smart #i just watched blackfish again and it annoyed me how much ppl were arguing abt the orcas being so smart and emotional etc #which is true. but thats just smth that makes their captivity harder. u jnow. like if they were simple and had simple needs it would still #be wrong if they werent met #its just such a huge issue bc of how hard the needs are to meet in captivity #same as like. bears and shit. you physically cannot give them enough territory to stop them going insane #ik theres ppl who believe All captivity is wrong #like my strpmum is one who believes nobody should own Any pet #which is. Imo a stupid argument and not at all sustainable. ppl need companions thats why weve had dogs and cats for thousnads of years #but also they are such successful pets bc their needs are so easy to meet!!!!!#its this misconception that fish or rodents are Easy Beginners pets… in reality they are 100x harder. but their lives are worth less to ppl #bc they dont show love the same way #well. anyways im not very good at expressing my thoughts abt serious stuff #but its smth that rlly upsets me #its frustrating too bc ppl either dgaf abt animals aside from Maybe the cute ones or r too extreme in advocating for the freedom of animals #like u can absolutely give indoor cats proper enrichment. its just slightly more effort #and its not as simple as just. emptyinb out the zoos. READ ABT KEIKO!!!!!#i feel its a very interesting topic. but ppl r very b/w on it #idk i feel the majority of ppl know so little abt animals its like. impossible to get thru #like ok cool u think zoos r bad bc the lions get saddddd. but u also think snakes and bugs and rodents are nothing but disease spreaders #and cant also have complex lives #Tsk. Whateevr

#ay. tomorrow might b the day i face the music #which is to say. i tell my advisor how fucked i am. i mean. ill spin it so it doesn't sound so bad #its just that ive told him like 2 weeks in a row that id send him my edited preproposal and i have not bc im too afraid to start reading #papers related to my project. which is frustrating. and like the thing is. and i kno ive said it before and i kno im not a fucking idiot #i can read papers and i can even understand what theyre broadly saying. but thats it.#zero critical thinking. zero insight. i use all my tiny fucking brain space to try to understand the words on the pages #and even then it only forms this broken fucking image of whats being said. like u dont understand. i used to struggle with writing papers bc #i couldnt fucking connect what i was saying from one paragraph to the next when i was the one doing the fucking writing.#what the fuck am i doing here? and again. im not stupid. i can follow the information if its fucking said out loud but thats not how this #works. and it just feels like sometimes there's a limit to what you're capable of and im at that fucking limit. the undergrads in my lab #have more ability to comment on papers than i do. its so fucking frustrating and i just have to live with knowing itll never get any easier #so what the fuck can i do other than drop out? theres no god damn way im gonna pass a comprehensive exam. not unless i buckel down and break #myself in half to try to retain all the information i need to. which requires that i read so many god damn papers that i cant fucking read.#just. why tf did i pick a career path where my suffering is inherent to a huge part of my job? i feel like ive consistently chosen to take #the hard path in life and ive finally stumbled too far from what is possible for me #so well see what comes out of my mouth tomorrow when i have my weekly meeting. i just feel like its my last semester #i feel like this is it. i just need someone to fucking hire me. bc everytime my lab mate mentions something abt #my project down the line or talks abt future conferences i should attend. im just like. its a nice idea but that's not happening. im just #at the end of the line and it sucks #unrelated

sometimes it hits me that Bilbo, Frodo, Merry and Pippin are all heirs to their clans like ??? like i love the comedic exploration of Bilbo is the grandchild of Old took, the Thain, the effective "leader" for matters of the shire and tho not direct line really, it does makes Bilbo a prince to an extent if u wanna go royalty terms and thats funny to pair with Thorin and Company. But then u peel back and like,,, oh,,, sam is literally the only with the humble background and like its not that Frodo Merry and Pippin are just "nobles" and gentlehobbits no no, they're heirs to their clans, literally the two big shot families with some of the biggest smial (hell theyre two different regions entirely. we talk abt hobbit settlement as The Shire but Buckland is its own thing too!!) like the entire fellowship is just a bunch of princes and a gardener like guys *head in hands*

#chuck in falco and fatty in there too #its just??? by societal hierarchies if u wanna have fic ideas abt it theyre all Noble house heirs #if u go by geneology fatty and falco are first in line to their families too tho obv i doubt its much of importance for hobbits #but like idk its interesting #i see why these people ended up being friends despite being in completely different towns #besides the obv close relations but like tbf everyones related in the shire somehow bc they like tracing their lines as far as they can #i could be wrong i tried fact checking but im not finished with the book nor do i take that detailed of a note #hobbits #the hobbit #lotr #bilbo #frodo #sam gamgee #merry brandybuck #pippin took #merry and pippin #theyre all??? princes??? gimli is a durin's folk isnt gloin cousins with thorin like guys #it just occured to me bc we often see it as such a The Little Guys sort of story #but like to someone like Sam or more common folk; it almost makes sense that ofcourse its the young masters that go off and do great deeds

stupidest fanfic idea ever. ramadan is a serial monogamist who dumps sivan to be with iyar, and then dumps iyar to be with nisan, and then dumps nisan to be with adar

#post coming explaining this dw #jumblr #loon.txt #it could also be literally any other month if its too weird to do it with ramadan but shes kinda the special one yk #anyway it turns out she was steady the whole time its the OTHER months that kept changing on her!!!#and they were being pressured to change by adar's evil twin #who was doing it on behalf of nisan who needed to keep her idk springtime aesthetic #idk im stretching this too far #and all of this is happening bc they relate differently to the solar year which theyre pressured to assimilate into #ramadan is like 'no im gonna do my own thing and be out of step with everyone' and the jewish months are like 'we're gonna try to like half #assimilate'#and then like. march april may are the villains trying to make them assimilate?#ALSO you could totally frame this differently its actually nisan dumping a series of muslim months bc she doesn't wanna let them change her #or she wants to assimilate #i dont know #im DEFINITELY taking this too far #maybe they all end up poly #i need to include the hindu and chinese months too #no i don't. i need to stop

Just a little follow up on that last post but just in general I think one of the reasons I've really stopped caring for railing on the Playtime devs... Is just because it feels like so much of it is just speculative nonsense trying to make every single thing they do secretly evil or lazy or bad. Why isn't it enough to discuss the Actual bad things they did [the fact they used to run a shady content farm before doing game work, the fact they tried to sell lore to their fans via NFTs, etc] it's hard for me to engage with content that rightfully critiques that bc oftentimes they then spiral into speculative 'so now we have to tell you why this moment where an employee blinks in the game is code for the devs secretly stole all their code from Bendy and kill babies as a hobby'.

Which makes me turn off my brain and not want to take any other points they make seriously, bc like I said if you lie to me to try and convince me of your point, I'm not gonna take anything else you say seriously bc I won't know if it's true or just something you made up anymore.

It honestly feels like everyone just keeps making shit up bc Poppy Playtime used to be the internet punching bag but now that the NFTs thing isn't the hottest topic to discuss about it anymore we all just need a reason to make fun of it and the people who like it. Which just kinda feels like unfair cringe culture, because if our real problem is the devs being greedy and shady why isn't the same effort put into roasting similar devs like the Bendy team? We can't suddenly say 'well actually being a bit greedy isn't That bad' when it's a team we like instead of one we all decided is 'cringe n bad'.

#ramblez #I hope all this makes sense Im not saying u cant dislike the devs of any of these games #just that the double standards on display really drive me nuts #sure playtime co tried to sell nfts but kindly beast laid off almost all of its employees and tried to sell its fans at full price a game #made by two people in three weeks last minute #if being greedy and lazy is really as bad as the internet says it is why arent the bendy devs the internets punching bag too #you cant have that sort of obvious double standard and then still expect me to think you take that topic seriously #bc when you only bring it up in relation to devs you clearly have a bias against and dont bring it up against devs ur bias towards #its clear that the greediness isnt actually the problem you care abt at least thats how it reads to me #anyways both of these devs suck but I dont think that means everyone at playtime co is secretly evil and in on it #a lot of effort is clearly on display in the writing animation coding etc and we shouldnt pretend its all awful just bc the ceos suck #same way I only level a lot of my problems with bendy towards mike n mood and not every single person who works on the games #bc clearly someone at JDS and playtime co cares a lot about what theyre making and thats really nice to see #its just that the ceos keep fucking up the product esp when it comes to Bendy-

thinking abt the touden siblings got me sniffling and weeping....

#im.too emotional abt them to properly explain #just rly glad to see autistic characters in media that i can deeply relate to and share experiences with. its such a rare thing #and i feel so protective of them i dont give a fuck abt fandom normally but some ppls bad takes lately are getting under my skin #like just say u hate autistic people and leave. stop calling laios a fucking freak im going to kill you with my bare hands #ppl think theyre so smart and funny for making posts like haha hes thr type of autistic that makes everyone uncomfortable and wish he-#would shut up or go away. im going to start hitting u with a brick until ur a bloody pulp #and thw way ppl treat falin so differently just bc shes not a guy. even tho theyre both clearly autistic and struggle socially #like wow thats crazy. do you act this way abt autistic ppl irl too #whatever just liberally blocking ppl abt it i dont fucking wanna see ur stupid posts #anyway.. back to thjnking abt their backstories and crying a little. masculinely of course #man i am soooo tired im so glad its the weekend i want to melt into a puddle and soak into the carpet and stain it forever #but we dont.have carpet.in this flat so.i guess ill just go to bed......#well maybe a little elden ring first #i would reallt like to draw sometime this weekend too. need to muster up some creative courage #but thats a problem for tomorrow... zzz #.diaries

working here is making me a little bit nuts abt antibullying again <3

#i mean ive always been a little nuts abt it. but its worse rn :)#i have been saying For Years that the reason antibullying campaigns have been so toothless is bc theyve ignored root causes #you cannot fight bullying while ignoring discrimination in our larger society #its not a fucking 80s movie people dont (frequently) get bullied Just for being nerds irl. the go to examples are so outdated #i could get into specifics but i think i dont need to! its ableism its racism its classism etc etc etc #we need to be actively teaching kids from a young age that at the bare minimum? acting on discriminatory beliefs is wrong #there needs to be actual consequences and understanding of why its wrong #we need to talk abt these issues WITH specifics. talk abt exactly whats wrong and why #call out specific common jokes explain slurs talk abt current events related to these issues #and fucking get rid of the 0 tolerance bullshit ive never heard of it doing anything but punishing the victim for fighting back #and i know some people will still be missed by this programming bc of their home life or influences. you really cant win them all #but you at least need to fucking try and attack this problem from the root instead of snipping vaguely at leaves #levi.txt #and i dont want to hear SHIT abt how your precious baby is too young to learn abt discrimination bc itll make them sad #as long as there are kids their age facing it? theyre not too young to try and understand #i just. aughhhh #like. ive been there dude i got bullied for a long ass time #didnt know why at the time but looking back it was absolutely bc i was nd #and that was so long ago and its still not better. it fuckin kills me man we should be getting over this #delete later #im very tired and this is a Big Rant but idfk man!! im mad #this shit ends lives youd think wed take it more seriously

I really love little, everyday intimacies of growing close with people and building new relationships and family networks

Like, I've been with my girlfriend for going on 3 years now. My family loves her and she's considered part of the family by now, but we have a nuclear family groupchat from ages before we started dating that we use most of the time unless it's relevant she be looped in (or its pet photos).

But right now my parents are on vacation and instead of sending their daily pics and updates to the groupchat with me and my sister, they're sending it to the groupchat with everybody. It's such a little thing, objectively; it's literally 80% pictures and commentary on context with 20% reactions, we aren't really chatting. But they still decided, casually, that she gets to see the same internal life and should be shown their trip through the same snapshots as their bio kids!

Idk something about it just. Really makes me happy. It's nice to see people you love loving and caring for each other so casually.

#relationships #im p sure if we broke up my dad would want to keep her as a daughter instead of me #'daughter' as relational not gendered for myself RESPECTFULLY #she loves them too she got my dad a philosophy book last Christmas literally bc she likes taking abt it w him and he has problems keeping up #(she is graduating w a degree in philosophy and is NOT good at watering things down once she gets excited lol #when she got bottom surgery they offered to host us (we stayed w her parents) and both of us wish we had accepted #like they view her as Part Of The Family enough to be happy to pick up that caretaking role #theyre not That close we live in a different city and visiting is hard but like #idk my family doesnt put on pretense bc the whole household is neurodivergent and they just are like oh yeah shes Ours now into the fold

So seeings how ai work still fucks me up at the mere thought of it maybe just maybe i can get over it if i vent my frustrations out on it here?

#art hasnt been fun for me for a while for a different reason but with the introduction of ai work its just made my mindset worse #like what the fuck how dare you take the one thing im good at and make it meaningless #the only thing i may be capable of doing as a job and its being threatened with obsoletion?#“oh it helps speed up work flow” ok but why do you need it now?#why cant you just wait?#thousands of things to consume already but you want to have more?#and then when it turns out to not be good then ppl riot?#i just dont understand the push to have ai work be used in the industry #i couldnt give a rats ass if you use it for personal use but i give a mighty fuck about it being used in the industry #bc while some ppl still commission artists larger corps will not bc theyre too busy trying to scam every goddamn nickle and dime out of -#their consumer base #and goddamn if the govt is moving fast enough to mitigate the damage #and thats not even a guarantee bc lobbyists exist and you KNOW they are doing their damnedest to try and find loopholes #idk i dont know how ai systems work and unless they are related to gaming ai i really dont care #but i really REALLY care about being able to make a living off of one of the few skills im capable of doing #bc lord KNOWs im fucking worthless at everything else in this bitch ass society im forced to comply to #like fuck me i can't catch a fucking break can i?#ranting #personal rant #i aint anti but ill be damned if i view it in a favorable light #dni i just need to fucking scream

#HEADS UP: this accidentally turned into a huge rant/vent feel free to get the hell out el oh el #i try reallly hard not to talk about it too much here because you can. offhandedly mention the mere concept of did or osdd or any #dissociative disorder and its like. people will not shut up about how its not real or how its people being delusional or kids being cringe #like. can we go. two seconds without treating people with mental disorders like a spectacle. please. you dont have to have a ''take'' on it #idk and i also avoid online did communities bc theyre the most exhausting spaces you can ever be in and theres constant fighting about #literally anything and everything. like. maybe i would like to find a space to meet other people with similar experiences to my own.#and we dont get that!! we literally cannot get that. and this goes for a lot of mental health related stuff but like my god #and im very lucky to have other people i know in real life who also have did so i can in some amount have that support system (hah.)#but it is EXHAUSTINGG that people cannot go literally a day without saying something stupid about systems #or i can be following someone for years and unprompted they will saysomething heinous thing about did and hide it behind something like #get a load of how weird and cringey kids are getting online these days.#and CHRISTT thats a whole OTHER issue i REALLY dont wanna talk about because it has its own whole set of nuances but like jeeeesus #is it really so hard for people to grasp that brains when exposed to traumas at a young age will be affected by it in weird ways.#idk man ive been seeing a lot of offhanded disregard for systems recently and it's so normalized and it's starting to get to me i guess #i wish people could just go well this is something i dont understand and dont need to have an opinion on and move on with their lives.#what the hell ever this is all to say having did has impacted my life in a lot of complicated and intricate and hard to explain ways and it #sometimes painful and awful but other times is an incredible experience and ALSO. most IMPORTANTLY !#i should be able to make jokes about BEING FRIENDS with SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!! in REAL LIFE!!!#and not have to deal with SUICIDE BAIT IN MY INBOXX BECAUSE OF IT!!!#WHATEVERRR !!!

i dont have an actual name for it but depressed college au is probably one of my favorites. i dont really care for the adults in paranatural and thinking about how the activity club/others might grow up and continue their lives is so much more interesting to me

#i started reading this comic when i was 15? i think? and now im recently 23. i cant really say i relate or want to relate to 12 year olds an #y more. and yeah i prefer a lot more nuance and complexity when crafting+ reading stories #but when your protags are 12. well. yeah pass #pnats adults are fine but the kids are the ones i have any actual emotional interest or compulsion towards #so when i write something that might be less 'yippee whimsical wacky adventures' and the options are spender and zarei. again theyre fine bu #t i dont really care enough about spender and zarei #but i still want to write about adults you know. BEING 12 was hard enough you could not PAY me to go back into that headspace #honestly thats actually why most of wizard au takes place in their later school years #like you know those aged up mob psycho 100 aus. where mob is like a fireman and ritsu is an english major and theyre not exactly having epic #adventures anymore but theyre coming into themselves etc. god. thats the stuff 2 me #i used to hate aged up aus as a teenager bc i thought it was the author/artists excuse to put kids in weird situations. and idk considering #it was 2015. yeah fair. but i do think i get it now. teenage years are hard and theres a certain part of that hardness that i love. things #like growing up [from a 17yo perspective] and people you love going to college and trying to find yourself and dealing w friends and fear #for the future. THOSE are the kind of teen stories i like reading about. but when you start getting tired and mellowing out and things that #come with the end of college and grad school and growing up [from a 22yos perspective] is similar. but its more somber. youre older now #when the protagonists become people. thats what i like #wizard au is fun as a huge intense magical adventure project but depressed college au is just like. where i can project.#drinking an entire pack of mikes hard lemonade by myself and lying on the floor talking to friends about how im scared and pushing myself #towards a career that i love but dont know i can achieve. friends leaving. getting an apartment for the first time. and the second and #the third. that feels better when i can sit down and go 'okay. someday isabel will do this too. i might not understand. my friends might not #understand. nobody could understand and i could be alone. but max woke up with a hangover today and i know what that feels like' etc #idk just feels better. taking your favorite characters with you while you go through things. by which i mean #'taking my favorite characters and making them go through things'#you want them to be safe and happy and having fun. i want them to feel fear. we both know what we want from fiction and treasure each #depressed college au #dcau
