I miss sincere storytelling. I miss it when writers wanted you to care about their characters, about their world. I miss when writer would take pains to show you the light of humanity even in the most dire of worlds. I miss it when writers.... Actually seemed to like the stories they wrote. I hate modern story telling. Making a mockery of the audience when they care about a character, about a world. When the people are depraved, vain, and selfish no matter their station. I wish the worlds of modern stories were worth saving. I wish I was allowed to care about characters, about the people and their struggles with out being talked down to. I want to love, I do not wish to despair.

#No matter how good A Song of Ice and Fire was I will always resent it's popularity #it is the root of all of this #people want what it had but they don't get why it worked #People aren't making A Song of Ice and Fire #they're making Game of Thrones Season 8 #I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it #I want to care #I want a world worth saving #characters worth loving #Why save the world if the world is awful for everyone involved #you have no motive beyond tradtion #beyond the trope of a hero who save the world #Modern Hero you have nothing to save #God even the average YA dystopia felt like there was something worth fighting for #never did I think I would yern for the days of Hunger Games knock offs
