Re: this
No wonder my favorite ARG is a super obscure one with no definitive ending (yet) after almost a decade and involves a computer with human memories pleading for the sweet release of death by simply saying ominous shit like “SHUT DOWN ME”

babs is a rich big city bisexual I will say it. babs doesn't know what a tractor is. babs doesn't know anyone who's ever been to a trailer park. babs disdains the concept of construction work. he owns $500 shoes. sorry those are just the vibes

sorry i’m so fucking normal about hivemind!decem being basically confirmed with the latest installment. do you ever think about how legundo’s greatest want in this prison is a friend. do you ever think about how the one request that he ever made of decem was that he not be alone next time. do you ever think about the noble saying she worries about him forgetting himself and the fact that he collects the “unique” (pink sheep) to try and have a friend in these worlds because it’s all he’s got. do you think about the noble saying she could make him thousands of his most desired companions. do you think about the fact that they want their brother back. cause i do. i sure do.

i love literature but this sort of literary chauvinism drives me fucking batty. like. you’re really going to pat yourself on the back about how
Tenderness is deep emotional concern about another being, its fragility, its unique nature, and its lack of immunity to suffering and the effects of time. Tenderness perceives the bonds that connect us, the similarities and sameness between us. It is a way of looking that shows the world as being alive, living, interconnected, cooperating with, and codependent on itself.
Literature is built on tenderness…
when the original blog is the commonplace book of, and reblogged by, hedgehog-moss, who used to be vicious terf sespursongles before she remade and went crypto (i don’t have receipts offhand but i have seen them), and blocked me for objecting to her claim that a designer getting excited about concepts and forgetting about practical concerns was somehow an Inherently Male phenomenon?? like... clearly all her engagement with literature, which is obviously pretty extensive, has not in fact instilled much humanism in her when it comes to not just writing men off categorically!
and in general i just feel like—sitting by yourself imagining your way into sympathy with another imagined person or people is great! but absolutely does not necessarily translate into actual interactions with actual people you can’t just shut the book on when you aren’t in the mood to deal with them.

hmm i think another thing i like abt kencen is chess should be played on a smaller stage. now i am an intimate staging truther for almost every play so i may be biased but that doesn't make it less true for chess. like i get the appeal of the big sets bc of the way they travel thru location and our initial reaction upon literally visualizing chess on a stage, but i think it makes it so easy for characters to get swallowed and for the stage to feel very empty. which may work like. conceptually but i think in practice it just limits the actor's effect. & i know that you can argue that chess is a show that needs to get by partially on spectacle bc of the quality of the book but i disagree just choose a good book. or make up for it w staging and strong character choices. it's not like it has a shallow plot bc it really doesn't it just doesn't have a well resolved one. which is actually another argument for it to be in an intimate space bc it will make the audience feel more personally invested in the characters rather than the story and will care what happens to them even if they leave with questions (does this distinction make sense?). i'm also not saying that chess Couldn't be done well on a big stage i just think most of the time it isn't

"squilf is not a woobie" i dont know how to tell anon this but a Lot of people act like she's completely defenseless and treat her trauma as a defining feature. that's quite literally woobification.
i think its a joke? but ig sure. although i can't really say i've seen too many people do that

I don’t mind different opinions and I get if an album or song isn’t your thing, what I don’t understand is the amount of folks with Taylor pfp and @ completely disparaging Taylor’s art. Or bringing up old offensive narratives about why she writes songs. When she herself has said many times writing is how she processes her feelings
