btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.
#the search for the Ideal Representation is both unattainable and soul-crushing. childrens cartoons moral codes are not#the best way to judge a piece of media#and the stories created by the very people in the communities that are most silenced are always the first ones to be#targeted for their Problematic Factors#as if any story can properly encapsulate the breadth of every complex human experience in one go#something isn't inherently deserving of being reduced to Irredeemable Media status just because you cannot personally relate to it#on the other hand approaching every single story as if its only value is its Shipping Status and how you can#incorporate it into your identity (and stake your Moral Uprightness based on how Ethically you consume said media)#is not necessarily any better. but different post is needed.#aughhhh bite bite chomp kill

qFit was so meant to be a girldad my god. putting on a shitty little crown that he does not like wearing every time he sees sunny because he knows it makes her happy, always looking out for her and keeping her safe, entertaining all of her fantasies and ideas (both him and ramón do this so much), their joint business ventures, decorating together, him constantly taking photos of her and ramón, giving her friendship advice, always getting her the food and drinks she wants. I hope that when tubbo gets back, fit and ramón can still spend as much time with him and sunny cause I'll genuinely miss the little family unit of the three of them after this week is over
let's also not forget that fit has referred to himself as sunny's father and also to ramón and sunny as his children seemingly without even realising it . he really has changed a lot he gets attached QUICK these days
#qsmp#qsmp fitmc#fitmc#morning crew#qsmp fit#qsmp ramon#qsmp sunny#qsmp sunnysideup#they've become so endearing so fast#it's always so sweet seeing a big tough guy be really good friends with a little girl in any media#and throw a little boy who is somewhat a mix between “tough violent guy” and “cute sweet kid” in there and you've created an absolutely#wonderful dynamic

im gonna be a dickhead for a second cause this is actually pissing me off:
i NEED y’all to deep the fact that most of these players do not care about what this man has done. carlos will probably shake his hand on sunday. maybe even a hug. they will compliment each other during the trophy presentation. no doubt the players will be asked again about the trial and no doubt the VAST majority of them will give the same non-answers as in australia. many of them are friends with him. many of these ‘friends’ are your faves. i’m not telling you to change your allegiance or find new players to be fans of or anything of that sort (this is the nature of sports, unfortunately a lot of them are very very flawed people, including many of the players i am a fan of). but i cannot sit here and watch all y’all go on saying ‘omg carlitos needs to defeat the evil on sunday 😣😖😫’ he literally does not care. most of them don’t. please, for the love of god, for everybody’s sake, i need us to understand this.
#alexander zverev#once again for blacklisting#look i get it i do#do i want carlos to win on sunday? abso-fucking-lutely!!#even if he was playing a different opponent#but can we not sit here and pretend like he’s some sort of hero sent from god to rid the tournament of this blight?#zverev’s actions are not some sort of superhero origin story#he’s not like a cartoon villain waiting for superman to swoop and defeat him to the oohs and aahs of the crowd#his crimes are not there so we can prop up whoever is good enough to beat him#stop using him as a tool to create a narrative for your favorite player to win#most of them are complicit in the atp’s non-action#you need to disconnect yourself for a second and remember the reality of the situation#it’s not about the tennis and it never should be made about the tennis#this is a real abuser who cause real harm and will not suffer any consequences#and is actively being protected not only by the organization but also by his peers#applauded by the media and fawned over by the fans#elected to the players council by his peers#please. please. we must give ourselves these reality checks.

"can't you guys shut up and stop complaining about the announcements and just have fun" i am having fun. i like complaining
#it is not 'problematic fandom' for people to have negative opinions. hope this helps!#taps the sign. it's my blog!#personally getting all my complaining out of the way lets me be pleasantly surprised when things grow on me#also... i'm sure some of the discourse will be stupid but like...#everyone going la la laa i'm not going to listen to any negative opinions on the game when it comes out#it really feels like people are trying to label serious critical commentary as 'discourse' already#like yeah. sorry. there will be 'discourse' about racism and ableism because the writers have always been bigots. sorry#and that kind of criticism aside. yes there will be some silly discourse. but like...#in every media ever created since the dawn of time people have argued over their opinions on x character or y plot point#and some of us enjoy critically engaging with our games and interacting with the broader sphere of opinions and analysis.#mine

I must not fear the bad take.
Fearing the bad take is the mind-killer.
Fearing the bad take is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the bad take.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the bad take has gone there will be nothing. Only my media literacy will remain.
#jokes aside I recommend regularly exposing yourself to bad takes and even more so to bad faith takes that want to bait you#being able to read these without getting angry or writing a rant reply and instead laughing and shrugging and scrolling on#is an essential skill to have in any fandom#but it’s also important to expose yourself to opinions you don’t share#that are shaped by a different social or cultural background or a different age or traumas#it’s important to be able to take a step back and remember that someone’s opinion is not about you#and different interpretations of media can and should exist at the same time#curate your dash for your mental health#but if you CAN don’t create an echo chamber#iwtv#amc iwtv#iwtv amc#media literacy#interview with the vampire#media analysis#fandom

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.
i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it
#i could write essays about how capitalism ruined the internet.#i was actually talking to someone earlier today about how youtube was kind of effectively ruined by monetisation.#and they were raised in the soviet union and we had a bit of a talk about how art was better because it wasn't for profit.#the people who made art made it because they wanted to do it and because they loved it.#she said that communism was terrible for every aspect of life for her. people's lives under communism wasn't pretty.#but the art was better. and i feel like it's true for the internet – it was better when it was a free-for-all.#the companies didn't know how to exploit it yet and turn it into a neverending profit-driven hellscape.#people created content because they wanted to. because they wanted to make something silly to make people laugh.#not for profit. not for gain. not for numbers. not to further their career.#i miss the days of newgrounds and youtube before monetisation.#capitalism has soiled everything that's joyful and good in this world.#people should be able to share whatever they want.#people should be able to tell any story they want without the fear of being silenced by advertisers.#that's what made the internet so beautiful before. anyone could do anything and we all had equal footing.#but now we're victims of the algorithm. and it makes me sick.#i'm quitting my job in social media. i'm quitting it. it makes me too depressed. i have an existential crisis every freaking day.#every day i wake up and say "ah. this is the fucking hell we live in#i'm so sorry i feel so passionate about this.#social media is a black hole and it is actively destroying humanity. forget ai. social media is what's doing it.#i miss how beautiful the internet used to be. it should've been a tool for good. but it's corrupt and evil now.#sci speaks

Some of yall do not know the difference between "media that glorifies Bad Thing" and "media that portrays Bad Thing and the audience has to use critical thinking skills" and its actually concerning
#for a bunch of ''burnt out gifted kids 🥺'' yall don't use those gifts of critical thinking much huh#media that contains uncomfortable topics (especially horror) is not glorifying said topic by default#killing stalking is the first example that comes to my head. it was just a horror series that had gay people.#wasnt glorifying the horrors at all. in fact it actually portrays the horrors as Bad and Not Okay At All#seeing our mc rationalizing the behaviours of his abuser due to stockholm syndrome is upsetting to us as the audience.#and yall were like ''it glorifies abuse and murder 🥺🥺🥺'' no babygirl. it contains abuse and murder as a subject.#you are just incapable of critical thought and you assume the portrayal of any subject is glorification. touch grass.#thats like watching hannibal and being like ''this show glorifies cannibalism 🥺'' it very much is not.#there was also the manga Star Lover that y'all were canceling for ''glorifying pedophilia'' and when you read it it's about A VICTIM OF CSA#like its literally about a character who is sexually abused by her uncle and this is an integral part to the story. its not fanservice.#sometimes media is created with the belief that the audience has the ability to think for themselves#and therefore should not have to a Explicitly State "hey this morally bankrupt concept is bad!''#because you should be able to come to that conclusion on your own <3#media consumption#a.txt#media and information literacy#media analysis

okay. hello guys. my bad for not responding to stuff or being as active recently, had a lot of work to be done and other stuff to focus on that took a lot of my time. I wanted to make more art, but I unfortunately had to put that energy into other things (which got to the point where I could not put them off any longer and had to stay working on it). I know I missed a lot of stuff and I'm sorry for it
#unfortunately there are moments where i am forced back into reality#and i remember that i cannot actually spend my life creating and hiding away forever!!! crazy#honestly a lot of it has also been the fact that i am just tired everytime i get home#and my health issues that have been steadily building up#they're really catching up on me and ive been having to visit the clinic more than im happy with#theres just a constant sense of fatigue nowadays#also uh#admittedly my interesting in Alien Stage has been waning#not replaced by any other media in particular. just started focusing on irl life stuff more often#which is why i barely post on shakingparadigm anymore/dont really post anything of substance#its really mostly this alnst oc thing that makes me want to stay because i genuinely enjoy and adore what we've created here#im pretty invested in this even though im not as invested in the source material anymore#not to say i dont like alnst anymore! i still do. i just don't dedicate all my attention to it anymore#which is for the best actually. because admittedly the things and time i have sacrificed for alnst did create a few consequences#sometimes i forget how bad a hyperfixation can fuck me up#again I'm really sorry for everything I've missed#and for being late to apris birthday#and the solauri round#and more#amazing stuff that you guys have made#me bones just dont work like they used to i fear. please give me time#im.sorry again#sorry this post might seem kind of depressing#just dont mind it if you want#thanks for your time#misc#rant#(?)#vent

something something foils moving in opposite directions Goku's always happy to seek and fight stronger opponents because he spent most of his life being the strongest guy in the room and Vegeta wants to be the strongest/is always exhausted to find stronger opponents because he spent most of his life having to navigate his survival around the whims of the strongest guy in the universe room and so Goku has a foundation of safety and stability and so spends his time craving challenge and adventure and Vegeta has a foundation of challenge and adventure and spends his time craving safety and stability and the overlaid section of their venn diagram is that the only way they know how acquire and maintain those things is through battle
#thank you this has been the laziest media analysis post of my career#dbtag#media analysis#something something a game to goku is a threat to vegeta etc#there's a pinned thought here about how Vegeta also didn't learn about the dragon balls until he was ?? 30?? and so all loss is permanent#and goku has been familiar since he was ~12 and hasn't faced a permanent consequence since he was 10 years old and even then he got closure#sometimes I think about how Vegeta saw Trunks die and how Krillin was mad at him for reacting since they could fix it with the dragon balls#but Vegeta has very limited experience with the dragon so to him in that moment that was permanent and Trunks was Dead. Forever.#And we talked before in a 2am post about Vegeta having never experienced grief born of love and I stand by it because his feelings then wer#still very new and very odd and not something he'd accepted until that moment so it was raw power but not as powerful as it could've been#all this to say in my heart of hearts I think Vegeta deserves to retire at the end of super (if super continues) -- not as a warrior#but as an infantryman. he's a prince and now he's got his domain and his family and his planet to look after and I think he deserves#to go home and stay home and help piccolo bully gohan into training more often when goku inevitably leaves to hop the multiverse#geets wanted to take a sabbatical when Bulla was born but didn't get the chance because Freeza coming back freaked him out too much#but whether freeza gets a redemption arc or gets defeated -- Granolah's arc seemed to shift his perspective on being the strongest#and I just grips fist I just think it would be a really nice full circle for Vegeta to inherit his throne in a way he never expected and#finally get his kingdom to look after and protect in the way that he was looking forward to being king of his own planet all those years ag#Goku's got Broly and Jiren and Hit and all the others to keep him busy and happy now -- and if Freeza gets a redemption arc he'll probably#continue playing slap-ass with Goku for the rest of his life -- and Vegeta's got Gohan and Piccolo and Goten and Trunks#I just think them getting a nice bittersweet 'This is where we part ways' would be really nice for both of them because !!#They couldn't have done this without each other. They couldn't have known this kind of life was possible without each other.#So they swap lots and live happier than they ever imagined they could be#especially since Vegeta has proved to himself that he can close any gap Goku creates in progress that's not a concern anymore#And obvs the door's always open!! There's no point closing it Vegeta's tried the locks they don't work on Goku#anyway here's me putting the whole essay in the tags again#this isn't an essay as much as it is stream of consciousness tag blogging#anyway i'm too lazy to write fic or draw comics so we get ramblings instead

yall mfers need to stop
#gay characters written with a straight audience in mind are a thing im not denying that#like 95% of one-off queer storylines in the early 2000s were just#''hello i am a gay. i have just enough personality to pass as human in the eyes of the audience.#now let me explain why you should treat me like a person''#but my god have people taken this phrase and run all the way into hell with it#if i see one more person saying heartstopper is for straight people im gonna start biting throats out#it was created by a queer person first of all#and second of all they did not write an entire subplot about there being no age limit on discovering who you are#for STRAIGHT PEOPLE#that wasn't for them!! it was for all the people in their 30s who watched the first season#and cried their eyes out because they were seeing all the things they never got to have#im so tired yall#i stg any queer media that's even remotely lighthearted or optimistic#is immediately called ''sanitized'' or rejected as some fantasy aimed at straight ppl who dont want to deal with harsh realities#when that just isnt fair at all#also side note the post i saw that prompted me to make this also put ''pretty much all queer media made in asia'' on the list#of queer media for straights#which. feels racist.#i really dont have much of a frame of reference for queer anime/kdramas/cdramas etc. but the generalization feels sketchy#idk man i feel like there's a certain segment of the community who will just say anything they dont like is not For Us#like just because it isn't for YOU doesnt meant no one in the community can relate to/enjoy it ffs

i feel like i have very unpopular opinions on dennis within this fandom. i am scared of fandom spaces so. to the tags i go
#i fear that some of you see dennis reynolds in a fanon way that you have accepted as canon ...#he is not . GOOD! guys. i say this as someone who deeply relates to him#he is canonically unmedicated for bpd and i Am medicated so i feel extremely attached to the mindset he has that used to be my LIFE!#i dont believe dennis would ever willingly put himself in any sort of situation where he isnt in control or powerful. its why he creates#entire identities just to have power over women for a few weeks. he doesnt date because at some point they become powerful and he losespowe#i am certain that there are parts of his psyche that love his friends and family bc he DOES have feelings ! but i also believe its hard for#him to accept that or even think about it if he wanted to because he is so obsessed with his delusions of grandeur#i dont think love is ever something he could give to someone easily and if he did it would be a painful toxic wound#we already know this. he loves dee and they are horrible for each other. and hes worse for her whether some ppl want 2 admit it or not#dennis is my favorite character on this show and i wanna reiterate that because im scared ppl will be annoying I Dont Share my Opinions#about Media a lot even though i think Tons of them#iasip#dennis reynolds

Sometimes I feel really guilty about some of the stuff I’ve written. Like, I know I shouldn’t, but I look back at the fics I’ve written with Wilbur in it, or with Techno in it, and I just feel guilty, but at the same time I don’t want to delete them. It’s a weird feeling.
-crazy rp anon
.
#confession#series: dsmp#wilbur soot#technoblade#crazy rp anon#yeah i know what you mean#but i think it shows you were passionate about something to create something else based on it#just because some parts of it are bad. like wilbur. doesnt mean its all bad. theres no way you could have known he was bad.#and creation is a beautiful thing#just because your thoughts on the media changed due to other things doesnt make the things you made worse or any less beautiful.#don't delete them.#sorry its 1 am and i am yappy tonight but also not very coherent

hunter!eddie AU snippet
Eddie Diaz killed his first werewolf one month before his twelfth birthday and knew that it was wrong. It was too soon. It was customary that a Diaz would make their first kill at 15, but his father sat him down and told him that he needed to be a man now. So he did it.
What he didn't know was that his mother was pregnant with his sister. What he didn't know was that his father would be home less and less. What he didn't know was that the tension between the werewolves and the hunters was getting worse and worse. Or maybe he did and just didn't want to.
What did know was that he needed to be a man, so he shoved a wooden stake into a woman's heart, saw the life drain out of her eyes, and he knew that it was wrong.

Giving credit to original posters, creators, artists, photographers, and sources matters.
It matters to the person who put in the time and effort to create the content. Whether it's finding that photo and editing it to make it stand out. Or downloading that video, editing it, coloring it, turning it into a gif, adding subtitles, etc. Regardless of what you do (job/student), I'm sure you too would not like it if someone else takes credit for your work.
It matters to people who want to know context. Was it said by a fan, your favourite's bestie, a reputable journalist? Published by a tabloid or the New York Times? From last week or last year? Is it an original, or did someone get photoshopped in for a meme?
It matters to people who may want to explore more content of that particular publication, so they will continue to publish top-notch articles. Or give kudos to a budding artist for their outstanding art work, potentially encouraging them to create more. Or compliment that photographer on capturing their fave in just the right light.
It matters, because even though it may take you an extra minute or so to add on that name or link, it is the right thing to do.
#i am aware we could do more like#pay for content we use#but giving credit is truly the bare minimum#and we all have those times when we are busy and forget to note the source#but we can try to make the effort 99% of the time#so much wonderful talent on this app#and other social media#who deserve to be acknowledged#and i know i am not the only one who spent hours gathering data#putting it into excel#creating a nice graph#with me crediting my data sources#only to then find it reposted on twitter 2 minutes later#without any credit whatsoever added#giving credit matters#cite your sources#not just applicable to f1mblr#but since that's the fandom i'm in#f1#formula 1#charles leclerc
