#sometimes. its not that deep. sometimes it is. but sometimes you're digging concrete holes.

I do think we would all benefit from a crash course in setting dressing + characterization vs foreshadowing + [something used to establish] mood/tone/theme
#wacky watermelons#im absolutely vauging a specific fandom but its something i see a lot in other places too#and i do want to note that although I group mood + tone + theme they are all different#but they serve a similar part of story telling#and this also goes double for media that is visual in anyway#as in strictly written/spoken media can use the mention of something to show significance#sometimes even good staging isnt fool proof#if a book mentions the blue curtains its likely important in some way. if the movie has blue curtains it may just be set dressing#and for an example of the main body of text#willted flowers on the table May be foreshadowing a death or used to further a theme of death#Or it could be characterization showing the person living there as busy/not home often/unobservant/etc.#sometimes the curtains are just blue. unless attention is drawn to their color. then theyre probably not#also also set dressing and characterization are listed together because they are the ones i see unconsidered#but one can be confused for another#sometimes. its not that deep. sometimes it is. but sometimes you're digging concrete holes.
