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

what's our consensus on Boothill's thoughts on easter? if it exists in the hsr universe (which.. surely it must be known of in a historical sense, at least? i swear the MC refers to "easter eggs" at least once) it's probably totally detached from the religious background by that point, right?? im unclear on how earth connects to the rest of the universe lore-wise but whatever.
i think he would be delighted by it honestly. specifically the egg hunts. i can 100% see him meticulously hiding eggs in all sorts of crazy places. climbs up trees like a fucking monkey just to tuck them in the branches all the way at the top. does impossible parkour and hides one away out of sight. hides them in gutters and under rocks and in light poles and shit. considers the environments to pick the most similar colors to make them harder to spot. but also i imagine he's really considerate for younger kids that can't get to the most difficult ones, so he scatters plenty in more intermediate areas too.
simultaneously i really feel like he'd enjoy taking part in the hunts too.. the candy is not the priority though, he gives that away to the kids (or you 💖) for sure. his real goal is that HIGH SCORE BABY !!!! he'd get so competitive about it so fast lmao. immediately starts climbing all over the fucking place trying to find the most difficult ones and whining if he can't find any. he has a pretty substantial advantage with the enhanced eyes and everything, so you'd probably have to team up with someone to stand a chance at beating him lol

my current vibes-based deltarune theory is that we aren’t kris’ soul like literally. we were another human’s soul, the one you design at the beginning of chapter one, or at least we were meant to be. but something happened and now we’re with kris. and they hate it.
#deltarune#feel free to find proof for or against like this is purely vibes based atm and not fully thought out At All.#ps: in one of the final chapters like. the penultimate one maybe. we’ll come across what remains of the human we made in either some kind o#foreshadowing of what will happen to kris without a human soul or as a further hint at the story and what the knight’s plan has been#and half of us will forget that that’s who we made lmao.#no but for real i probably shouldn’t have posted this yet i haven’t figured out what i’m pulling this theory from even lol#like that’s why we can still name our save file even if we play as a named character. we control kris because their thoughts and goals don’#match with ours because we literally aren’t them they have their own unique will separate from ours but they do still need a human soul#obviously even if we haven’t been told outright what it does for them aside from being able to enter a dark world. it does look harder and#more painful to move about without a soul ngl.#but the big element i’m missing is what happened to kris’ soul? why/who removed it? where did they get us? did they get us or were we force#onto them by somebody else? did they remove their own soul like they rip us out of them all the time or did somebody take it from them?#do they want their soul back?#these are the questions i should have answered before posting this but it would require me to replay the chapters again with a theory hat o#and i’m too casual for that lmao.#like maybe kris removed their soul when they were younger to try and have a monster soul like. at the same time they were wearing monster#horns. that’s a fun angsty plot but it’s more textually backed that the soul was removed shortly after susie moved to town#considering she’s never noticed kris to be different. and the sleeping in and withdrawn-ness could either have started because kris had#no soul or because kris had just gotten a new soul and it’s hard to adjust idk i’m just spitballing here.#if i’m right though and kris’ soul does appear in later chapters i Will be reblogging fanart or the little hearts making out sloppy style

I'm in so deep - I think about him a lot. Like sitting next to him and leaning on his shoulder. Either dozing iff or talking like this together about whatever comes to mind.
Or him trying to be smooth yet it sounding so weird coming from his mouth that it makes me laugh instead of flustered. He's not the type for that so I cannot help but laugh out loud.
This is how crushing works, right?

omg. if I wouldve dated this one girl we wouldve been suuuuuuuch a typical tall-fem+short-masc type couple Lol... pudgy fat short me and the tall lanky pretty girl.
this is about a. idk what to call it for variousssss reasons it was like a weird thing for sure maybe you know what im getting at (toxic homoerotic female friendship sort of and actually I've had um quite a few of those. Lol typical dyke shit) but im like half-convinced i am being a retarded moid in perceiving it that way (ie wishful thinking projection thing moids do when they assume any girl who is friendly or even just nice and polite is interested in some way)
even tho I've had close friends personally review tons of screenshots ("omg violating privacy tho" dont lie either you've done this or i feel bad for you bc you had no one you were close to enough to trust) and be like "yeah no there's definitely some weird shit there" and etc. but also friends lie to be nice but also im friends nearly exclusively with autists/adhders or just people who are a bit more eccentric than most normies even who are all straightforward and will most usually point out shit even if it would be something i don't like . but idfk man
i feel like I'm not projecting bc this is just one of a few times where im like "oh fucking kay there is some weird shit going on here" , i don't think most of my past crushes were really interested or anything and i never really insisted there was anything more than my own infatuation. But this and like a few other times Im like. Hmmmmmmmmm IDK
but like i said whaat do i fucking know im autistic and therefore socially retarded........ Lol

person: hey listen up. what if Sherlock Holmes were, you know, queer--
me: *sitting forward* I'm listening (actually I was on the same page years ago)
person: right! SO what if Sherlock and Watson were gay--
me: ...you've lost me.
so anyway. anyone with aroace Sherlock and/or queerplatonic Sherlock & Watson takes, hmu, everyone else go home. you're valid and ily, you're great, but also: idc

why is my ex boyfriend who dumped me suddenly helping me find cheap skis and inviting me to vermont and talking about taking a job where i work what is going on 😭. i know we're still friends but is he stupid 😭
#is he regretting it and thinking of getting back together or is he completely stupid 🤣#this has been a shitpost#i told him there's no health insurance and the pay isnt good and i will need to think abt vermont#but wtfff#i should tell him i have a low key kind of date coming up w someone else i asked out last night 😂#but im not sure how to bring it up#i mentioned the work gala and if he asks abt it at all c he's interested in working there i will say i have a plus one#and maybe he will take that as a hint if he's actually thinking of getting back together#he literally offered to drive me to get the new skis and look at them and make sure they're good before buying#which is crazy bc he bated that i always wanted him to drive#and he was too lazy to come to my house to look at my skis while we were dating#he is not an acts of service guy to put it mildly#he's got to be making a move bc i had stupidly told him i would consider trying again when he dumped me 🤡#and there's no way to take that back without awkwardness#personal#anyway all i did was leave the ski group chat after he posted something innocuous and he texted immediately within a minute#and then sent me a listing on fb marketplace for skis the next day#and then offered to drive me to pick them up sonhe can inspect them for me#and he texted me for hours yesterday#i am being friendly bc we are friends but this is not the behavior we have had since breaking up#and now he's texting again#and right out of the gate it's about his job#and i had mentioned a couple months ago while we were dating that a music teacher position at my school would be available next year#and suddenly he's interested in that#?????#hello???#i know he's genuinely looking to leave his school but 🤔#anyway its a good thing I'm not interested bc if he's not actually interested and i was this behavior would be so stupid it would be cruel

the nose shape... 🥰
#‡ ooc#‡ the end is comin' for us all | high noon#yes im still obsessed with the concept art this is like christmas to me#a kissaroo from me to you (talon)#i love how the fringe takes the shape of wings too.... can you imagine how ethereal and pretty talon would be after a bath.....#and maybe a good sleep...#obsessed w the shape of the hat from the side tooo oufdghjkfd#the biggest issue i have w the concept is how BEEFY tals arms are?? esp from the side like...#sorry the thing with hollow bones thats as light as a feather doesnt have muscles like that....#but i also like the shape of the legs im sure its just. the style of the artist but it gives the hint of their legs NOT being normal human#ones and its fueling my idea of them hiding either hooves or claws that have Too Many bends#back to smth else i dont like; the way the demonic hand like... ends in molten cheez-it fingers...#where are the fingers sharpened to points in some unholy claw#the other hand.... idknooow what to describe it as? other then like. some of their flesh growing into the golden armour i guess...?#growing in segments like the ones on their thumb...??#and their fingertips are stained from their summoned knives and touching their demonic side me thinks#i should write up an actual post not just keep yapping in these tags hum#i should also write up a teeny thing on talon grieving (?) for varus' death in their own twisted way#grieving but also having that pit in their stomach knowing theyre gonna meet again and it might not end the same way as the first#and having that fear in the back of their mind every time they step up onto the sulfur rail that their angel is gonna be there.#bow at the ready

i see a stupid take on a show i had no interest in thinking about (bc others do enough of that) and now i wanna defend it and make op see how delusional they've gotten
#naomivents#i mean all takes are welcome ofc this is a public space#but when you base the whole show on your 1 expectation and think the story Has No Point if it doesn't fulfil that#then idk man maybe you're just selfish#i get wanting your fav media to tick all your boxes#but calling the show pointless bc of that though they've done everything really well up to this point pisses me off#maybe just broaden your mind a little#maybe day wants his eyesight back have you not seen how excited he was at the news?#saying how he should not be allowed to get a transplant bc that's not what You think the story is about is ridiculous to me#it's accepting how things can fuck and change your life forever but your life still can go on positively if you try hard enough#and got the right people#but lmao that doesn't mean he isn't allowed to look for ways to unfuck his life?#it's literally his life even if it's just a story#i truly don't think p'aof will let day get his eyesight back bc that's cliché and Boring.#unless he can bring meaning to it which i think he can#the transplant failing route will break day's heart. and hope. and everything. but isn't that fine#he's not getting his eyes back yes it will be a huge struggle but he's got amazing people by his side now#after the whole journey of acceptance. this will turn out as just another situation for him. that he gotta accept and move on#damn can't the boy have hope atleast#they've been hinting at a possible transplant since the beginning ffs#this is not me up for a debate pls i had thoughts and i wanted to vent thats it thanks for coming to my ted talk
