The most frustrating thing I see in media analysis is how people act like an author or an author's works can't inform their other pieces of works. Death of the author in general is such an ignorant lens to look through a piece of media, for headcanons about things? Yeah sure, go for it, but to analyze a piece of media in isolation can absolutely kill so much analysis you could do.
Biggest yet most limited I see of this all the time is the FNAF books and how they relate to the main series… and how many people I've seen with the sentiment that "they're not canon so nothing in them matters."
The books showcases ideas and themes integral to the universe of FNAF, and even if the stories may not be canon, the concepts inside them inform and give context to the universe.
And again, this is just a very limited scope of the kind of thing I'm talking about, not just an author's other works but even the author themselves and who they are can influence their creation, no matter how much they want to try and separate it.
There is no such thing as an uninfluenced story.

LOOP: well the horrors persist, Stardust! But so do I. So no. I won't "look away" so you can eat the bell. // SIF: But I'm hungry and it doesn't serve any other use!!
LOOP: Ugh. Look, here's a coin. Go get some... Taco Bell or something. I don't care. Anything but a real one. // SIF: Thank you!!

Don't typically put politics here but for those of y'all in the US if you live in a state that offers vote-by-mail make sure that you're registered for it this year.
We got a notice in the mail to sign up for permanent mail voting so if you signed up for it last election make sure to do it again this election so you don't get fucked out of a vote just to be safe.
I'm not sure if this'll be that big of a problem but it should be really easy depending on your state, it took me two seconds to fill out everything needed.

The opposite of wiki isn’t discord, it’s encyclopedia dramatica.
incorrect.
encyclopedia dramatica is publicly available through a web browser without an account, and not locked behind a proprietary piece of software to access.
Discord, on the other hand, is the hand that pulls the suffocating rag of inaccessibility over the face of anyone trying to learn anything regarding any niche online phenomenon.
JUST MAKE A FORUM FOR YOUR FIGHTING GAME COMMUNITY!!! JUST PUT YOUR PROGRAMS AND SCRIPTS ON GITHUB!!! JUST HOST YOUR FILES ON MEDIAFIRE OR MEGAUPLOAD OR SOMETHING!!
i shouldnt have to announce my presence to everyone any time i join a server for a second to download one file! i dont like that i have to insert my digital footprint somewhere just because the information there isn't available anywhere else!
STOP MAKING DISCORD SERVERS WHEN YOU SHOULD BE MAKING WEBSITES!!! STOP USING A CHAT CLIENT THAT'S GETTING WORSE WITH EVERY UPDATE AS A LESS HELPFUL AND LESS ACCESSIBLE INTERNET BROWSER!!!

had a dream where all the characters in the Toy Story movies were real as in actors for the movies, Roger Rabbit kind of situation, and what ended up happening is that I became friends with one of the actors (who was a toy) in an upcoming Toy Story movie and she was like still in highschool or something, the production of the movie had been getting in the way of her education so I went with her to talk to the director about giving her a short break to focus on her school and the director was being an ass and saying no so my friend basically quit on the spot and started walking out of the studio and the director got so mad he grabbed her and literally fucking tore her apart in front of me and I immediately run over to try and fix her and the director just sat there mocking me for doing so and then I woke up
I think I need therapy
