#*jokingly complaining

[puppetmaster13u]

You know what I need to write? Ex-Talon Dick mentioning some stuff idly to his teammates or the league or whoever about how he can't feel certain things or getting up from definitely lethal injuries all fine. And then Jason 'joking' about the time he got beaten to death and blown up, or the time Batman "died" (was in the timestream) and the people connecting the dots.

The batclan are all different types of immortals.

They've connected the dots!

They haven't connected shit.

yknow my little theory is sometimes i think people use “doomed by the narrative” incorrectly to describe ANY character who dies/nearly dies because they mistake the simple authorial intent to kill a character as something that actually exists within the narrative as a “dooming” device. this kind of ties in with the fandom trend of viewing authorial intent as so valuable, in no small part due to the audience now having greater access to the author, thanks to social media and modern entertainment in general. and this almost worship of the author (i think perfectly exemplified by the term “word of god”) takes one of many bridges where text and extratext intermingle and misconstrues it as a space of straight up canonicity. this is a world where a showrunner can tweet glup shitto headcanons and everyone cheers. even post-jkr-dumbledore-is-gay-criticisms i think we could stand to be less reliant on what is, in reality, pseudo-canonicity.

i do also wish fandom was more interested in exploring the entire context of a work (ie the place it has within the wider scope of the world in which it was created) instead of only with consideration of one person’s (the author’s) intent��. ANYWAY ANYWAY this whole thing is a massive fucking tangent sorry!! but yeah in order for a character to be doomed by the narrative there has to be a tangible element of dooming in the story (and also imo has to be somewhat self-driven by the character). maybe that makes sense. or not

This is KILLING ME

this is gonna be such a bog standard joelguy post but anyone ever think about how so many of joels recent-ish duos are so. snappy. comparing him to fire is overdone but whenever he's with someone they legitimately do just get on like a house on fire. every dynamic he's in they're always just biting at each other. pearl iskall gem etho shane fwhip even sausage to an extent. not to mention jimmy oli lizzie and scott. what is his Deal

[engagemythrusters]

sometimes its so easy to fix nihilism by just. interacting with the world. sure maybe the world doesnt have any meaning, but it did mean something to ME when a baby and I said "hi!" to each other on repeat yesterday at the store. she giggled and squealed and it made me so happy. isnt that meaning enough?

I've seen some sentiment going around about like wanting to put in some funny questions for the preshow rather than serious ones people want to know just in case because they seem to answer those but unless there's some known behind the scenes machinations going on, it seems like they genuinely just grab a handful from the box and read whatever they get? Like I don't think if they were specifically curating the questions they would include cards that are just random art the audience won't be able to make out or "you guys are awesome".

Hello, I am a non-binary AMAB (TME?) and I am getting on a bigger effort to be an actual ally to trans women and I have read and listened to a great deal of trans women about various subjects. I am here to ask something: Should I support and be an ally to "baeddels"?

I have been researching about it and apparently it's a derogatory term for transfeminists who talk about their experiences with transmisogyny but it also means trans women who are antagonistic towards transmascs, I don't know which one is true. I would totally support the former but not the latter. I have an hypothesis that the latter does exist but the term has been used too much that people who don't hate transmascs get hit with that. (Sort of like how white libs use "Hotep" against black people.)

There is also the prejudice about people who self-describe as baeddels hate AMAB enbies and I don't know if that's true, because I do want to listen to what these people want to say but I also feel anxious about if they hate people like me or not.

Thinking about Saga coming home after the events of Alan Wake 2 to see her family, and Tor and Odin just. coming with to also visit the family. Congratulations Logan, you now have two party animal gods as your great grandparents for the (thankfully avoided) price of almost getting written out of existence!

i love when people on here are like “instead of saying “i’m gonna kill myself” you should say “i’m gonna jump off a cliff” it’s better for your mental health :)” 

[endlessfuckup]

dan and phil could take another 5 years off and i think i would honestly still stick around for them to come back

i think i really just appreciate that they somehow made it through the past 14 years (almost 15 now wow) without hating the internet entirely

they could have fucked off from the internet years ago

they have plenty of money & valid reasons to do so

but they are still around & providing me sustenance and i really truly love them for that

a lot of fanfic takes place outside of the parameters of the story (obviously), but if you ever consciously think about how we have to reconstruct characters that don’t belong to us in ways in which they’re both recognizable to our audience and modified enough to reasonably fit the atypical environment of the story, making them both act like themselves and unlike themselves at the same time, while also being entertaining and telling a story, it’s a miracle we ever manage it at all

lr made me think abt making fun of bakugo's shoes only to get hit with "WIDE FOOTED SHOES ARE BETTER FOR YOU ACTUALLY"

[mossyinkynebulous]

Guys, I have to admit something. You may think less of me because of it and I understand if you leave, but felt it best to be upfront with it than not.

I...was in the Hetalia fandom. I know a tragedy. It's been years since I moved on. I was really in the fandom during 2015/2016, which dwindled in 2017. I wrote and read fics for that fandom, drew fanart that I never posted online and never will, and made ocs. I've become a better person since then, but I cannot say that present me wouldn't be where I am today without it. I cosplayed one character from the show, Iceland and had casually worn his fit to school. I wasn't a part of that side of the fandom, I didn't even know about it until years later.

I have since grown to know that the show is extremely problematic and harmful and have since distanced myself from it and the fandom. I thank the it for the few short-term friends I had made through it and the Wattpad dms, but I will continue to bash the show if ever brought up in conversation.

For those who read all of this, thank you. Also, this is meant to be a joke. I feel that fandoms people were a part of when they were kids don't define a person for who they are today or even a fandom someone was in over 5 years ago. Like I was a fan of Blood Lad in that same time period, thought it was so cool; My partner and I watched it this year and it was funny, but in a 'it's so bad it's funny' way. People grow and they change. I'm not the same person I was 2 years ago, much less 5.
