#as in 'would a hypothetical lab-made story with no themes be discounted from being a story due to its lack of themes'

sidenote speaking of polls that infuriated me, that poll like 'does a story require themes to be good' was sent from hell to kill me
#everyone taking it as an object lesson in Reading Comprehension this website's favourite fuckin phrase
#meanwhile the wording immediately captivated me as a word puzzle
#'does a story require themes to be good' immediately dinged in my mind as a hypothetical
#and that was way more interesting than the discourse 2 me
#like in my mind its not a question of 'do good stories have themes' like duh doy the answer is yes
#i saw it as 'does a story REQUIRE themes'
#as in 'would a hypothetical lab-made story with no themes be discounted from being a story due to its lack of themes'
#and that was fun and u guys had to go 'lollll imagine not paying attention in english class'
#if i had paid attention during my english class it would have killed me. we did fucking NOT learn about critical reading or comprehension
#we learned how to regurgitate the lowest-common-denominator answers and score well on tests with the least amount of thought
#wrote a personal essay abt my grief towards the school system making the point of 'students are shaped into ai'
#'whats important is that we can make words in the right sequence and not that we are actualyl saying anything'
#and my english teacher was like 'wowww really good essay i rlly feel for you' and then a year later she was showing us chatgpt .
#what was i on about. oh yeah language is a prison
#'arent you an english major' YES. its a fascinating and fun toy whose widespread application is inappropriate and inefficient
#language was made for word puzzles and tripping people up and the fact that i have to verbalise it on a time limit
#with only rough approximations of my actual thoughts in casual conversation is one of my greatest griefs
#anyway. ahem. tumblr amirite
