Re: too honest fic comments

I feel like certain people see a fic that's got 7k hits and 300 kudos that isn't really their cup of tea, they just feel like they've been done a huge injustice and need to put the author In Their Place™

And like. No. No you don't.

#it's not even hate it's just whiney #but also they have 0 fics and like 9 bookmarks #idk what that says about their tastes but it seems to me theyre a Reader #and not a Writer #I don't think they could handle it if they got negative feedback like that #I haven't seen comments like this in literally 17 years #current fanfic reading courtesies weren't.#prevalent... back then

you always land on all fours

#umineko #umineko spoilers #ikuko hachijo #ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long #now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more #overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way #like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism #the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery #^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend #(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of #to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers #and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's #entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in #featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is #putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine #not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c #i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case #with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her #insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite #to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the #ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry #her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part #like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very #similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime #which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person #hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

I'm so fucking sick of amatonormativity dude. Someone on Reddit left a comment that was basically like "the majority of people need a romantic relationship to be happy, it's how we're wired" and I responded saying that I disagreed and that more and more people (especially women) are finding fulfillment in other relationships and are happy being single.

I got heavily downvoted.

Of course most people like being in a committed relationship, but you don't have to be aromantic or asexual to enjoy being single. Maybe more people would like being single if we as a culture stopped pushing the narrative (especially on women) that being single is lonely, horrible, and depressing and that you need a romantic partner to be a complete person.

#amatonormativity is so insidious and prevalent and most people don't even realize they've fallen for the propaganda #like of course having a life partner is very important to a lot of people #but can we PLEASE stop acting like almost everyone is 'wired' for a monogamous romantic/sexual relationship #and people always fall back on 'well humans are social creatures we need to have relationships'#bitch I have my friends and family and colleagues what relationships am I lacking #amatonormativity #aromantic #aromantism #arospec #aspec #asexual #aroace #aphobia #1k

i dont really like it when people dumb down Curly's characterization to just the guy enabling Jimmy. I get that that makes it easier to not like him, so that's why a lot of people do that, because they feel guilty about sympathizing with someone who's done smth fucked up like that, but i really don't think it's giving Curly the justice he deserves.

regardless of if you like him as a person or not, Curly is still a victim and he suffered greatly at Jimmy's hand. Just because he did something fucked up doesn't make him a 'monster' (sorry because i saw someone say that he looks like a monster post-crash and thats sticking with me because why TF are we saying disabled burn victims look like LITERAL MONSTERS- yall use some common sense I BEG)

Dumbing down characters is what fandom does best, but i think it particularly irks me in Mouthwashing because of the nature of the story. Jimmy already thinks of the rest of the crew poorly and doesn't see them for how they really are, we don't need to be doing that too.

I also feel like people don't really recognize the fact Jimmy manipulates and abuses Curly too, even before the crash. What Curly did was fucked up but for the love, don't dumb him down to just this one thing he did.

#as someone who loves to analyze medias for characterization patterns some of yalls takes actually pain me #its kinda obvious yall didnt actually think hard about the different scenes and the interactions between everyone #like replay the game or rewatch a play through and focus on character interactions- then come back to me #ALSO THE PREVALENT ABLEISM IN THIS FANDOM DEAR FKIN GOD #YALL REALIZE THAT BEING ABLEIST TO A FICTIONAL CHARACTER ALSO EFFECTS THE DISABLED RIGHT #thats a whole other rant post tho #mouthwashing #jimmy mouthwashing #fuck you jimmy #curly mouthwashing #captain curly #mouth washing #riv rambling

Hmmm

114.1:

and 114:

and also 103:

Still fully anticipating a Yor arc upcoming and the maths are mathing, is what I'm saying

(More seriously, it gave me vibes from 58.2 when Twilight and Bond save Daisy the pup from the fire, and Twilight gives his "You have to take care of yourself because there's someone waiting for you at home" speech - more specifically to the theory that 58.1-58.2 are the concluding chapters for the Cruise Arc*, and so is in direct dialogue with Yor's speech "Even if it means living a life that could end at any moment... even if it means leaving the Forger family," recommitment to self-sacrifice... Do you see the dots?)

*I alas don't have access to this theory: I read it summarised somewhere (reddit?) that it's a popular theory on the Japanese side of fandom and haven't been able to shake it since. But if anyone has links, pls drop 'em!

#spy x family #sxf manga spoilers #twiyor #spy x family meta #call it copium if you MUST but i will deny those charges #listen. LISTEN.#when it comes to twiyor #they hold one another gently 🤲#and because they do that for one another they extend that outwards #nightfall also ofc calls back to the last time twilight told her to chill a bit so it's also a pattern there ofc #and we were shown that the first time twilight did that it was in direct contrast to his previous mentality when he trained her #so it's about the tenor -- THE TENOR OF IT you see?#the tenor feels forger fam feels yor feels yor with twilight feels twiyor #hashtag mathematiques #meta lite #also given the prevalence of that meme it took way too long to find that gif 😑#here fandom take this!

rewatching some scenes of Hemlock Grove rn for research (definitely not top secret research no no), and Bill's Swedish accent peeking through the lines gets more and more obvious with every time I watch it😭💕 it's the s-es and the consonants, and it's rather endearing lol

#hemlock grove #it's especially prevalent when he gets agitated lol #it's cute #but if you see interviews from back in 2012 he literally has the broadest Swedish accent ever too #it's fantastic LMAOOO #king #what more can I say #bill skarsgård #bill skarsgard #roman godfrey

Brandon Sanderson: Fantasy vs. Sci-Fi

Almost all of BrandoSando's books straddle the line between the two genres, and after seeing @approximateknowledge's post here, I wondered how they would lay out on that chart. I was also inspired by this fascinating WOB about Skyward's genre. These are just my opinions, so let me know if you agree or what you think you'd change!

#i'm aware they're not all on here these are only the books I've read #and fyi whole series are represented by their first book #i'm quite pleased with my font choices #brandon sanderson #cosmere #cfsbf #stormlight archive #the stormlight archive #mistborn #elantris #skyward #cytoverse #i'm not tagging them all lol #i think its actually a fascinating question:#what makes a story *narratively* sf/f vs *aesthetically* sf/f #personally I chose to base the aesthetic scale on characteristics of the world/story; or 'genre trappings' as brandon puts it #technology level prevalence of magic etc #but the narrative more on themes plot structures and tropes; 'plot archetypes'#my friend and I actually went back and forth on frugal wizard's placement a lot; its a very nice blend #i've read legion but i don't think it fits on this chart at all so i didn't include it lol #i originally had elantris much further left but put it where i had stormlight #i changed it bc i think it represents that quadrant well #but honestly I could swap them back

People will be like "Twin Peaks is actually more Mark Frost than David Lynch", and then struggle to explain why.

Cooper? Based on Lynch.

Laura? Nothing but a corpse until Lynch fell in love with her.

The Pilot establishing the intensely sincere grief and surreal humor that set it apart from other shows? Lynch

Audrey? Shelly? Maddy? All characters Lynch created just because he liked the actresses.

Bob? Lynch just thought the set dresser looked scary in a teen girl's bedroom.

FWWM? Lynch

Red Room? Lynch

The entire reason the series didn't end in shame? Lynch

The Return? Lynch

Not saying Frost did nothing. Obviously, he was a big part of the series. But I feel like he gets exactly and possibly more credit than he deserves.

(eta - when I say the subreddit has lost its mind, "all Lynch did was come up with a few ideas here and there while Frost did the heavy lifting")

#twin peaks #david lynch #fire walk with me #like sorry to be mean #but i feel like this discussion has become so prevalent #we've actually swung back around to pretending lynch was just some guy who came up with 'wacky' stuff sometimes #and not the literal creative driving force #and the only reason we're still talking about this show decades later

thinking about the first time i asked for my hair to be cut short the person refused to and said, "i don't cut women's hair like men's" but i had a coworker at the time who had never been particularly supportive of trans people, not hateful, just didn't really understand. she sat me down when it was only us two working. she gave me a masculine haircut, one of the first good ones i ever had, as she went to hairdressing school. people really can be so kind. and for as hard as transitioning can be, it's far more joyful. and if it's not joyful for you yet, it will be sooner rather than later

#thes.txt #also thinking about hair is so prevalent to many people's transitions #it all comes back to the damn hair #this is fine to rb
