One thing about fandom culture is that it sort of trains you to interact with and analyze media in a very specific way. Not a BAD way, just a SPECIFIC way.

And the kind of media that attracts fandoms lends itself well (normally) to those kinds of analysis. Mainly, you’re supposed to LIKE and AGREE with the main characters. Themes are built around agreeing with the protagonists and condemning the antagonists, and taking the protagonists at their word.

Which is fine if you’re looking at, like, 99% of popular anime and YA fiction and Marvel movies.

But it can completely fall apart with certain kinds of media. If someone who has only ever analyzed media this way is all of a sudden handed Lolita or 1984 or Gatsby, which deal in shitty unreliable narrators; or even books like Beloved or Catcher in the Rye (VERY different books) that have narrators dealing with and reacting to challenging situations- well… that’s how you get some hilariously bad literary analysis.

I dont know what my point here is, really, except…like…I find it very funny when people are like “ugh. I hate Gatsby and Catcher because all the characters are shitty” which like….isnt….the point. Lololol you arent supposed to kin Gatsby.

Athena in My Goodbye: "You're not looking for a mentor, I'm not looking for a friend"

Athena in We'll be fine "I had a friend before and he was a lot like you"

I wrote a thing!!

New installment in the Everything Falls Into Place Eventually series!

The Land Of Waves The bridge builder was the most infuriating client Kakashi had the pleasure to deal with in a while, rude and condescending, filled with self-importance and utterly useless; he walked so slow Kakashi had feared Naruto would try to stab him during the first day, or worse, carry him to Wave. Team 7 has their first out-of-village mission; and it was supposed to be fun, it was supposed to be easy... now they're half a day trip from their destination and one of his kids has blood on his hands. Screw the mission, Kakashi is going to kill Tazuna
