Me when I pull up to the lack of media literacy challenge and the “California is secretly a red state that New York has forced into being blue” fanfic comes out

HELP-

[i-literally-cant-with-this]

Your work is legitimately difficult to read, not only because of the italics and coloring of your words, but because you simply can't fucking write correctly.

Then please don't bother yourself with reading it. 🤷‍♀️

what i like about ten is how genuinely unfit he is as the doctor. his tragedy is that he's too mortal to be immortal. he's immediately set to crash and burn the minute he spawned in. he's like an outlier and an outsider in basically every way and tbh it's wild that he became one of the most known incarnations of the character + some later incarnations have taken after him bc his whole thing to me feels very "i wish i wasn't who i am but i am terrified to be any other way". twelve on the other hand feels so much more definitive. like this is what i feel like the doctor would be like on a regular basis and more incarnations (in this era of nuwho at least) would realistically be more like him. this is the doctor at their core when they're not actively trying to disguise themself as something else. they are ancient and tired and angry and it shows clear as day

The movies feel like fanfiction between OFA! Bakugo, the Worldwide Smash, and fucking Dark Might. Only the first one feels a bit realistic, but it also feels like the start of "AFO is in your walls" with the villain.

Also, none of them have the "save the win" accomplished.

Iam not a huge fan of the movies but I also don't have big criticism of them since a lot of my favourite characters were introduced in the movies like Melissa and rody.

Yeah it's true that the movies do feel like fanfiction the fourth movie feeling like it the most.

I do think that there are aspects to the movies I really liked for example when it came to the second movie I loved nine and his group, I liked their dynamic and enjoyed it whenever they were on screen. When it came to the third movie I personally loved the entire premise of what happend to izuku and him being falsely a convicted killer however I didn't actually enjoy the antagonists of that movie.

The movies also mainly focus on beating and taking down the villains instead of saving them. The only saving that's being done is for civilians at best and that's it so the whole win to save and save to win theme is executed horribly and I don't think should even be in the story.

However, I think I have read better fanfiction than some of the movies which says a lot.

nah why do the big blog mods get so weird when people don’t know stuff

when they asked for whitepine confessions i sent a silly “idk what whitepine is and i’m too afraid to ask” and they gave me the sassiest response like sorry i don’t know everything about it???? i’m just now hearing it exists?????????

There are steps and measures you can take to curate your own tumblr dash. There are ways to not only block people but also certain tags and topics as well as NSFW content.

It’s totally okay if you see someone’s content and decide you don’t like it. It’s okay to unfollow them, block them, whatever. Do whatever you need to do to make your own space feel comfortable and safe for yourself.. It’s NOT okay to try to police people on what they can and cannot post on their own blog. If you don’t like what someone else is posting you can block them and simply choose to not engage with them.

Erdogan is a tyrant and a murderer of his opposition. He is the killer of Turkish democracy. How fucking dare you post quotes from him?

Everytime someone wombifies gov, an Angel loses its wings (you are quite literally falling for the mockery of propaganda. You are not meant to see him as a victim. You are not meant to see him as a baby. He is an abhorrent person. He invades others privacy, he intentionally makes the others fight so he can do sketchy shit, he’s a MASSIVE fucking hypocrite, and if WTTT has a villain, it would be him) like him all you want , but my G-d please stop acting like he’s some innocent uwu baby

-🪼

I definitely see your point! The U.S. Government is very obviously not good, so it can be strange to see him so pacified in the fandom.

Tumblr says a problem with your ask so I'm sorry if you get this multiple times....

That was a great explanation! But I just.. idk maybe I overthink it? I try doing the clappies but I look like a seal just going ham. 👏👏🦭👏👏

Like say we do syllable's syllables again...

I go ok I say it: Sill 👏 a 👏 bul 👏. But that seems long? So ok maybe Silla 👏 bul 👏. But wait. I can do it one breath if I try? Syllable 👏

So now it's Schrodinger's syllables to me. Simultaneously 3, 2 and 1. 🤷‍♀️

Syllables might just be witchcraft.

Hm okay so they don't quite work like timed beats or quarter notes. Just because you can fit four of them into a measure doesn't mean you're only counting the measure. Actually this might be a good time to bring up poetic rhythm, maybe. Think of Shakespeare, all the contractions thrown in at odd times to make the words fit within pentameter. If you want to take a multisyllabic word and squish it down to a Germanic grunt, you can, but you can't just say it super quick because the reader isn't hearing you say it at all. If the music analogy helps, let's stick with that. Let's say each syllable is a quarter note. Without sheet music, the reader can't know to change a word's measure (read it super quick so it all fits as one beat) unless it's noted (contracted)

So you'd have to nix vowels to force the reader to time it the same way as you said it.

Generally speaking you can only really shave off one syllable before a word gets somewhat unrecognizeable.

Syllable -> syll'ble(👍🏻) -> 'll'ble(???)

But I'm a big believer in double contractions so throw those fuckers in wherever you want

tell me jk rowling’s transphobic tweets, using her own words.

What I’ve learned from this past week is that a person can literally say “I think [X group] should be eradicated from the world,” and when you respond telling them that that’s a really fucked up and bigoted thing to say, they’ll repeatedly respond with “no it isn’t. How is it bigoted to say that lol I’m just speaking the truth,” much like a 7 year old who’s too stubborn to admit the Tooth Fairy isn’t real even when he’s seen his own mother put the money under his pillow. Nothing you say will ever convince them until they learn to pull their own heads out of their arseholes.

Therefore, I will refer you to — oh who am I kidding, you’re not going to read or watch anything I link you. I will refer MY FOLLOWERS and anyone else who sees this post to timestamp 41:00 of Contrapoints’ brilliantly crafted video essay on JKR and her transphobia — and that of her rabid fucking fanatics like you. I think she puts it perfectly well.

your post reminded me of that one “meta” about how sansa willingly wrapping herself into sandor’s cloak foreshadowed her getting married to jon cause both men have dark hair and grey eyes and ijbol

Something hilarious about how much they dislike Sansa's actual story. I get not liking the ship but using something symbolizing their relationship and making it about another ship is top-tier delusion 💀

i just watched that lindsay ellis yoko ono/the beatles video and it spurred me to actually listen to the beatles discog and i feel like you might appreciate this information claire

HELL YEAH! what are you listening to what are your thoughts. i'm a abbey road and rubber soul girl myself

also, if you enjoyed the video, i HIGHLY recommend watching get back--like, i genuinely cant recommend it enough, it's a three part documentary directed by peter jackson of all people (the guy who made lord of the rings), and its just footage of them grappling with interpersonal issues while making let it be. no talking heads from modern day butting in with their opinions, just four guys in their twenties trying (and failing) to hold onto each other. it's the thing that spurred me to take a closer look at them, like it’s so good

It's been implied by the fandom that Iroh can't be fire lord because of the other two nations' hatred and distrust for him given his brutal reputation as the dragon of the west.

It would make more sense and more consistent if Iroh explained that instead of assuming his own nation would turn on him for usurping the throne because that's exactly what Zuko did and it mostly turned out okay for him.

I think this is true on some level. While we never see anybody from the other Nations not trust Iroh, I could still see some people getting a little antsy about the guy who torched Ba Sing Se being crowned Fire Lord. Like there's no guarantee he's not gonna try to vie for Fire Nation supremacy just because he helped end the War. I don't even think he'd be well-liked by his own people since his retreat after Lu Ten's death basically spelled the end of his own military career.

That being said, by that logic Zuko would have his own problems being seen as a benevolent ruler since he did help overthrow Ba Sing Se, attacked Kyoshi Village, and raided Sokka and Katara's village. Sure it's small potatoes to what Iroh pulled, but it's not something anybody else is gonna overlook. I mean the Gaang threw what he did back in his face during his initial attempts to join. Who's to say the rest of the world isn't going to let him live that kind of stuff down? It'll be an uphill battle for the guy in terms of foreign relations.

Admittedly, you do bring up a good point about nobody really caring that Zuko was essentially a usurper. It would be telling that people just got used to this sort of power struggle with the Royal Family...which STILL isn't gonna be a good look for Zuko if his own people's first perception of the guy is that he did the exact same thing his father pulled with his sibling.

I'll be honest...the places where they left Zuko and Iroh at the end of the series don't exactly rub me the wrong way. I'm still not convinced that Zuko's finished his redemption arc and that sentiment hasn't really gone away with how the comics have handled him. And Iroh should NOT be able to retire into the city he burned to the ground. I guess the finale just left me with a colored perception of the two that I'm not sure I'm going to be able to shake off so easily. Your theory is good, obviously. And I think it makes more sense than Iroh assuming the populace would turn on him considering he pushed Zuko into fighting Azula in what was a power grab (even if it was justified). It's just when a retired war general who's guilty of starving the populace in a grueling 600 day siege gets to live in the city who suffered at his hand, the narrative just clashes with your idea.

Which I don't think means you're in the wrong here. It's just the narrative is that skewed.

8, 9, and 14, maybe?

Already did 14!

8. Who is your favorite protagonist?

Komaru!! Really, in terms of the games themselves, I love Komaru and Makoto pretty equally. But Komaru gets pushed over as the winner for out-of-game reasons. Her birthday is also the anniversary of my admission to the suicide ward, so every time it passes, it feels like we both made it another year. And that make me really happy :')

9. Who is your least favorite protagonist?

It's Shuichi........I'm so sorry I know y'all love Shuichi but he's just. Firstly he's not a good detective, and that bums me out. But secondly, there's no, like, reason for him to be the protagonist. Y'know? Everyone else is the protagonist because they have a narrative reason for it. Being the protagonist BUILDS to something. Makoto becomes the Ultimate Hope TM, Hajime's backstory reveals something stark about the existence of Hope's Peak that is completely unique to him, Komaru is the protagonist specifically to challenge what being a protagonist even means and finally buck the shackles of the narrative by the end.

Shuichi's arc doesn't build to something. There are several other characters who would have been much more meaningful as protags (spoilers for the rest of this paragraph) - Kiibo, who could've not just been controlled by the audience within the fiction, but literally controlled by the audience in that the player controls him; Tsumugi, who could've built to the subtle discovery that she's the mastermind and the reveal regarding fiction, making it so we question the truth through a much longer con than we got with Kaede.

Kaede's time as a protagonist was short, but even it served a purpose in the twist of the twist - that everyone was expecting music girls to die, but she can't because she's the protagonist! But surprise she does anyway! Subversion in such a way that you are challenging an audience's expectations but ultimately still appeasing them the same way they expected.

On the other hand, there's no meta reason for Shuichi to be the protagonist. Of course it's beautiful that Kaede handed off her vision to him, but he doesn't have to be the protagonist for that to work. Twogami handed off his vision to Chiaki, and neither of them were protags. There's nothing unique about Shuichi's relationship to the story that sets him aside as The Protagonist. They just, like...wanted him to be. And there really isn't even an in-universe justification of it, like appeasing V3's fictional audience, because we know they were looking through a different character. It's just a really odd choice.
