I wish more adaptations/ retellings would play with the darkness already there. East of Kensington did a fantastic job. Michels line still chills me " You're selfish, you've always been selfish."
you don't need to write a dark deconstruction of Peter Pan where he's willing to kill people and his state of eternal childhood makes him morally ambiguous, JM Barrie already wrote one and it's called Peter Pan
#been criticising (and by criticising i mean laughing at) the Vicious Lost Boys series in the discord#aka Never King... Dark One.. etc etc#and it makes me think#does no one... actually realise how dark the story of peter pan is without chopping everything up#for wendy: youre on a foreign land where danger lurks around every corner and you never know if whoever you meet is friend or foe.#for peter: you have no grasp on morals or human mainland laws: killing friends is fun! but it's lonely afterwards. you make enemies without#-a care because your momentary happiness is whats most important... but it can be sad and frightening and most of all lonely sometimes#for hook: you are a captain to your people and yet you cant even protect them or yourself from a boy who doesnt see his actions' consequenc#-you must kill the child because he could kill you or your crew without realising what hes doing is permanent.. plus theres the croc too..#for the lost boys and pirates: your leader is hell bent on goals and specifically killing his arch nemesis. you don't know what mood he's i#-how can you be sure you or he is safe#and theres so much more too#peter pan is dark#its already dark#you dont need to make it dark#peter pan

Turning 14 in the middle of Covid was a trip. Everything online talked about how 14 was the year of discovering yourself, of maturing and figuring out what you enjoyed and hated and I was just. Locked in my house for most of that year. Old enough to think and understand, young enough that nothing really made much sense anyway. Those months feel like half my childhood they were so long. What the fuck even happened that year?
#celebrating 5 years since Covid#not really#my memory of that time is foggy at best#doing an assignment about covid for uni and like#and it makes me think#5 years is a hell of a lot of time compared to how long I've lived so far#but it feels like I've been stuck in Covid for all of those 5 years#I still carry a mask with me most places#still always keep hand sanitiser stocked#like what the fuck happened#covid 19#covid#coronavirus

My personality seems to be stuck between wanting to be a girl dad or a guard dog.

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

People don’t understand the concept of liking two characters’ relationship in multiple contexts. They can be lovers in one setting and just friends in another, their dynamic doesn’t have to be consistent in every piece of art I make.
#it pisses me off when I make stuff for polyfam au or mitsuki/inko and people bring up bkdk#use your critical thinking skills their parents being in a relationship changes their dynamic#not everything is a romance between them.#idk it weirds me out when people make it weird

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]
#'your moon is here' things that make me explode like a supernova#UGHHHHHHH what if i was perpetually in your orbit. influencing the tides. protecting you from asteroids. and slowly drifting further away.#then you stopped moving and i was only pulse to your dead heart. orbiting you. right where ive been left. and so you started turning again.#ria.txt#personal#space opera au#(<- not about what you think is about)#hiiii this is gaining traction so glad we're all going insane :D your moon is here is SO fucked up. so good.#xkcd#randall munroe#space#moon#anyways xkcd comics are so good. entertaining witty and informative. check em out!#ok this is about false and ren from hermitcraft#falseren

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.
#edit: go to https://gazafunds.org/ and donate $5 you would otherwise spend on streaming services on a campaign!#ra speaks#piracy#media piracy#pirate to make hondo ohnaka proud#obligatory ‘don’t fucking pirate small authors/artists works wtf dude’ statement.#anyone who’s seen my media bitching before knows I’m a hype man for indie films this ain’t about them#this is about corporate streaming services killing physical media bc sales numbers are less impressive than number of streams#edit: USAmericans stop telling me to buy DVDs and blurays at Walmart. think outside your borders for a hot sec. fun thought exercise.#your experiences are not universal#edit: WHO GOT THIS TO 100k. I JUST WANT TO TALK (this post is my second to hit 100k woahg.)#in other news: fix your fucking posture. drink some fucking water. and go the fuck to bed if it’s late bc it’s for me rn. peace and light.

anyone who thinks dostoevsky's writing is dry and humourless is missing out on passages like this
#🐉#i dont think my version is the most common translation because its worded a bit differently#(but still gets the same point across)#however im glad because this bit makes me howl every time i remember it
