Massive Doubt

Massive Doubt Another New Studio ‘You don’t know how paralyzing it is, that stare from a blank canvas that says to the painter you can’t do anything. The canvas has an idiotic stare, and mesmerizes some painters so that they turn into idiots themselves.’ Vincent Van Gogh, letter to Theo from October 2, 1884. ‘Learn to say “Fuck You” to the world once in a while. You have every right to. Just stop…

cameron’s ‘you’re doing this because you can’t handle your feelings for me’ outburst in heavy is…ridiculous, to put it kindly, but she does actually have a pretty solid point about house scapegoating her for the patient’s necrosis. both because she is ultimately proven correct: the necrosis was not warfarin induced and she did not mess up, but also because it’s a theory house runs with on no evidence. the only thing that remotely supports is chase being unable to corroborate her giving the correct medication (which isn’t even information he volunteers freely—house pushes him, and still, all he says is that he didn’t watch her administer the heparin), and given how much chase is on cameron’s ass that whole episode trying to save his job that is a) entirely unsurprising and b) Not reliable evidence. and cameron is incredibly type a, the only one of the original three who doesn’t kill a patient via messing up to boot—assuming she messed up is a leap in the first place. so yeah i think cameron is right to suspect house has an agenda, subconsciously or not, in blaming her! i even think she’s right to think house does have feelings for her—in this same episode vogler tells chase that house ‘has a thing for cameron’, and as eminently hateable as vogler is he does seem to be fairly observant! however. that said. i do not think these things were necessarily connected. and also could she have picked a worse possible way of presenting this argument.

Your Arcee looks like she belongs on the cover of a Duran Duran or a Bowie album and I need her to do UNSPEAKABLE things to me. The aura is simply off the charts, I genuinely don’t know how you did it. Do you have any other pics of her by chance…?

Nothing presentable (i.e. nothing good), but I hope to change that soon! 80s anime hair Arcee will return after these commercials...!

my mom after i tell her she can tell them to get fucked if someone claims that daring to wear a dress that doesn't cover her knee surgery scars is taking the spotlight away from the bride because she is allowed to exist in her own body: gosh i hope i didn't dump all of my body dysmorphia stuff on you growing up

‘My master has withdrawn from negotiations between the duke of Angoulême, his son, and Princess Elizabeth, and instead pursued a dynastic match with Princess Mary, showing his allegiance to the Pope,’ Du Bellay said. ‘This is untrue. Your master stopped the negotiations because the king of England asked for the duke to be kept in England during his betrothed time to his second daughter. It has nothing to do with his allegiance to me or the Roman Catholic Church.’

when. january 16th where. the beaumont performing arts hall who. sofia nowak & blue andersen @goodgrac3s

the performing arts hall was somewhere on campus that sofia could go to think, or to just be alone. and with that fucked up blog surfacing, and the subsequent posters making their way around the campus yesterday, had sofia feeling nervous. jumpy. she wasn't used to feeling anything that wasn't sheer confidence, and she was certain anyone who knew her could tell something was off.

but hey, what could someone expect when a girl you knew died just days ago?

she was seated in one of the seats in the center section, third row, and looking over the tormenting poster when she heard sound. looking around, sofia tried not to look annoyed when her gaze fell on blue. trying to lean into her surprise, the brunette said, "i thought i was alone." hopefully that was explanation enough. "what are you doing here? rehearsals aren't for another-" she looked down at her phone "two hours."

There was also William Faulkner, who went with

11. Lying about his work's meaning recreationally, purely for his own entertainment

and Ray Bradbury, who

12. Apparently genuinely believed what he said his work was about but was fucking wrong

Folks act like "maybe the author isn't the final authority about what their work means" is some wanky post-modern nonsense and not a simple recognition that a lot of authors are perfectly prepared to bullshit about their own work. Like, leaving big-name popular media aside, I have personally encountered authors being actively disingenuous about their own work for all of the following reasons:

A true answer wouldn't fit the image they've cultivated.

They've decided they like the explanation the readers/viewers have come up with better than what they actually had in mind.

Something that was originally intended as a standalone work ended up growing into a franchise or series, and now they're pretending that was the plan all along for some reason.

They don't want to admit that the bit you're asking about is genuinely just a plot hole.

The real answer gets into some shit they don't care to discuss, so they've prepared a cover story to explain away the parts they don't want to talk about.

Their politics have changed since they wrote it, but they don't want to acknowledge that, so they're constantly trying to re-interpret everything they've ever written to be perfectly consistent with whatever their positions are this week.

They wrote it decades ago and they honestly don't remember what they were thinking at the time, so they're just making shit up; sometimes they also don't remember what shit they made up the last time, so the answer is different every time they're asked.

The work in question is at least partly autobiographical and they can't tell the truth without confessing to a crime in the process.

Most of the good bits are plagiarised and they don't really understand it themselves.

They're lying to you on purpose, for evil reasons.
