SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (1995)

In a language that contains words like devotion, passion, enthusiasm, love, fascination, obsession, etc., I can’t help but regret this tendency to cram all those meanings into "hyperfixation," a word which manages to pathologize and medicalize the act of having interests.

“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

Your villain, here, is patently a controlled job of acting. I’m just not certain whether it makes the film, or breaks it — a very difficult call. “Well, then, at least we’ve made an interesting motion picture. I hope you can see it again before you decide what to put down for publication… No, really: Am I being insulted here? What I wish more people knew is that there’s a nice little ghostly love story out there in a few theaters now called Truly, Madly, Deeply — where I play a tender, loving sort of chap who returns from the dead — and that I’m looking to defy as many expectations as I can, in case the people who liked my turn in Die Hard should take that character as the only thing I’m capable of doing. That’s what I’m doing so much of the broad comedy-villainy for in Robin Hood, you know. [Director] Kevin [Reynolds] and I — well, we worked it out where I could get away with mugging the camera, and sticking my nose out into the audience, and throwing away some asides and one-liners. Now, what you were saying earlier, that may be because of expectations you’ve brought from having liked the Die Hard bad man. I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don’t like what’s being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting. Robin’s Sheriff of Nottingham is a troublemaker with a murderous streak, all right — but goodness, this is a costume melodrama, not Shakespeare. I believe this particular villain needs to be a little laughable, lest we players mislead the audience into taking things too seriously. And as to what you were saying about a make-or-break performance: I might very well ‘break’ the picture by playing it so — well, so grand-manner.” — Alan Rickman [x]

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
