Stayed up until 3am binge watching the first 9 episodes of Last Twilight, and I went into the tag this morning to find out that the majority of people on this site HATED the last 2 episode lmfao. Honestly I don't regret it because the first 9 episodes were GOOD, and the last 2-3 episodes won't change that for me but it is kind of sad when this happens
So much potential once again fallen to the curse of questionable, last-minute narrative decisions

We all know that glass breaking scene in Glass Onion is a visual manifestation of Miles' speech about disrupting at the start of the movie and all but can we appreciate how all the characters who called themselves "disruptors" and claimed to go against the system were the ones that chickened out when shit got serious and Helen was the only one that kept going

I think that's what I liked best about your reader insert works, there was always a particular vibe to the reader insert but it was left vague in all the right parts without ever being bland.
aw dude thank you!! i strongly believe reader characters should have personality but otherwise remain largely non-specific unless it's plot important. that's why my readers tend to have a Fun Job as like their primary interest for flavor or plot reasons, and few other details. most everyone could imagine themself being funnier and snarkier, or shyer and quieter, or whatever. but not everyone wants to be a violin playing skater chick with long wavy hair and an amazing singing voice... etc etc. yknow???

What’s your story?
The Use and Abuse of Narrative
by Terry Eagleton
Forty years ago, Peter Brooks produced a pathbreaking study, Reading for the Plot, which was part of the so-called narrative turn in literary criticism. Narratology, as it became known, spread swiftly to other disciplines: law, psychology, philosophy, religion, anthropology and so on. But a problem arose when it began to seep into the general culture – or, as Brooks puts it, into ‘the orbit of political cant and corporate branding’. Not since the work of Freud, whose concepts of neurosis, the Oedipal and the unconscious quickly became common currency, has a piece of high theory so readily entered everyday language. The narratologists had given birth to a monster: George W. Bush announced that ‘each person has got their own story that is so unique’; ‘We are all virtuoso novelists,’ the philosopher Daniel Dennett wrote. What Brooks glumly calls ‘the narrative takeover of reality’ was complete.
It isn’t just that everyone now has a story; it’s that everyone is a story. Who you are is the narrative you recount about yourself. Whether the life history of someone forced into sex work reflects their true self, or whether self-narration might also be self-deception, are questions that seemingly don’t trouble this line of argument. What if someone tells contradictory stories about themselves? How do you decide which tales are true? You can’t resort to standards of evidence, coherence, plausibility and so on because these, too, are no more than a fable. Facts, Brooks argues, always come to us embedded in a narrative, which makes it hard to see how they can be used to verify or falsify it. The Russian commentator Margarita Simonyan says that all we have by way of truth is a host of competing anecdotes. This wouldn’t matter so much if Simonyan weren’t the director of the Kremlin’s TV channel. Reports that Vladimir Putin murders his opponents, according to this logic, are no more true or false than stories that he is the reincarnation of Peter the Great. If there is no way of adjudicating between conflicting accounts, those that are backed by the greatest muscle are likely to win out. Brooks rejects this ‘that’s just your story’ relativism, insisting on the difference between what actually happened and the way it is represented.
