i hope the homestuck anime gets a million investors and then production goes completely sideways in a new unprecedented way. i hope it runs a thousand seasons and they're all terrible. i hope it stays dark forever. i hope the worst isn't over, and i hope you blink before i do. i hope i never get sober.

"In the beginning the live-action remakes were releasing 60 years after the originals. Then 30 years. Then 15 years. Netflix just announced that they're considering a Kpop Demon Hunters remake a month after that movie released. Marshal, within this decade we may be looking at a simultaneous release between an animated movie and its live-action remake."

one of my major gripes with a lot of contemporary novels is that it feels like you're never allowed to think for yourself and themes are communicated either with incredibly heavy-handed metaphor or by having a character straight-up turn to the camera and say them to the audience

but i'm in this beta reading group and now i'm getting some insight into why that might be, mainly in how people respond to writing that doesn't do that. they don't like being expected to do this mental legwork themselves. they see it as the writer passing off the difficult burden of interpretation onto the audience, resulting in a text that is unnecessarily "hard", opaque, and confusing. being expected to connect ideas that are not explicitly spelled out is treated as though it's totally unreasonable, because part of the writer's job, in their mind, is to make sure the reader is never confused or uncertain.

it just depresses the fuck out of me to see how people who identify as "bookish" before anything else just have zero interest in expending mental effort when they read

Wow, bpd tends to come from trauma, is 75% female, and was added to the dsm the same year that female hysteria was removed. This could mean nothing...

Did you know…? In 1937, Penguin Books began distributing their books by vending machines because they were priced similarly to cigarettes.
