i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

PJO: we need to recognize the value of the minor gods. The Olympians are important, sure, but the minor gods do a lot of work in maintaining and assisting the pantheon, have their own kids and deserve to be seen and valued just as much

HoO: Back at it again with Olympian-only nonsense!

#i really really think that half the team should've been minor gods and the other half olympians with Hazel as a bridge between the two #because pluto/hades borders the two worlds #happy talks pjo #i just think there's so much value in showing that the other kids can be just as powerful #why couldnt piper have been a daughter of eros? it would've changed nothing about her powers other than erase her weird feud with drew #but lmao that still could've happened #frank didnt have to be the son of mars there are a million other war gods out there that couldve tacked onto him instead #he could've been reyna's half brother! or the son of Honos (chivalry honor and military justice) or Virtus (bravery and military strength)#idk any other fire deities for greece other than hestia whose a virgin and thereby not applicable #i guess Prometheus? maybe? idk #the creativity and engineering aspect of Leo's character can exist independent of who his father is #man actually son of prometheus would be a good look for leo #the prophecy comes to light and people see the betrayer of the gods and are wary #but his arc is a representation of how yeah Prometheus betrayed the gods but saved humanity #plus some myths depict Prometheus as the creator of humankind so I'd love gaea trying to entice Leo to join her side #by offering the chance to rebuild the world how he wants with people who love and admire him #god wait no im getting too into rhis someone stop me

Being a woc fan of Bridgerton can be a struggle, especially when it comes to liking the poc characters on the show, especially the woc. Like I remember when s1 came out and the blatant microaggressions and just plain racism coming from this fandom was atrocious. You had people spewing very hateful things about Charlotte, Marina, and Simon and undermining the latter two's pain and trauma at the hands of the white characters---Marina was treated terribly by the Featheringtons and, whether you like Penelope or not, you cannot deny that she also played a part by releasing that letter to the Ton and Simon was violated Daphne no matter how people try to spin the story to offer her some form of sympathy (it still blows my mind that people would want to though).

S2 is just as bad (not even including how they changed the Sharma family's storyline than how it was in the books when that wasn't necessary) and the racist undertones many of the fans have towards Mary and Edwina (as well as Kate but for her it's carries more brown woman needing to be saved by a white man when Anthony is involved because a lot of you all in the fandom are quick to use this trope such as "oh, he's the only one who truly knows her"). The lack of screen time for this family really ends up hurting them to but even with that, whether you like Mary and Edwina or not, it would be a lie to deny the racism a lot in the fandom hold towards them (and how that falls onto the actresses because it was very apparent how many in the fandom couldn't let two Desi women shine without having to bring down the other and Netflix played into that too for drama) and paints every small thing they do as being terrible crimes but in the same breath will not have the same smoke for the Bridgertons, who have their own set of problems (but because they are also the main family, among other things, they are provided more grace without consequences).

#bridgerton #edwina sharma #kate sharma #mary sharma #marina thompson #queen charlotte #simon basset #like fandoms can be a very hostile place especially toward poc #and don't even get me started on some fans acting like they care about the poc characters but only still fall into the tropes i presented #im nervous for how this post will be received bc ngl when people call out the racist antics in bridgerton people love to downplay it #and that's just not right (for any fandom)#and this impacts actors too bc there should be no reason that charithra can hardly be excited about her role in the show #or how ruby had received so much hate that (probably) as a result had two breakdowns #on top of still being asked by polin and pen fans to denounce marina to uplift their white faves #dni if you can't have a calm conversation here #also seeing the creator of the show say for s3 kathony that there won't be as much angst #more happy couple scenes irks me in a way bc that amount of angst didn't have to flood s2 if they weren't so concerned with pointless drama #like the books themselves gave enough angst without the engaged to your sister plotline and such #also would have made anthony seem like less of a prick and actually respect a woman's honor but nope #don't even get me started on how it seems more common for the poc characters to have to gripe and struggle #(especially with things that....they should not be blamed for) at the hands of or as result of white characters #when in the same breath that courtesy isn't extended to said white characters #(e.g. marina having to push colin in pen's direction even though both failed her #to simon begin assaulted and then blamed for it by daphne and the narrative #to kate having to move mountains to grow (even though for most part she wasn't wrong) but don't even see anthony apologize for his actions)#all the actors especially the woc experience racism (and other forms of discrimination) from this fandom #i haven't even gotten into the shitshow from some fans towards simone and the actor who plays simon #as well as the racism the actresses for queen charlotte faced #a lot of yall need to do better

my BG3 character has developed such a strong personality that he keeps trying to break out of the game and make himself into the main character of an original story, which I am attempting to discourage, because God knows I do not need another WIP on my hands. I'll just draw pictures of him instead

#the BG3 character creator is good but it doesn't allow me to add all the details i'd like #i want him to have a big lady dimitrescu-style hat with a bat hanging upside down from the brim #he loves all animals but he's especially nice to rodents because he once ate a live mouse for a bet #and has been carrying the guilt on his shoulders ever since #he wears dark glasses. he gets sunburned in minutes. he has bad teeth from eating too much fruit #just a sad creepy little guy!!!#i love him

made my Hawke in bg3. um 😳

#my angry girlboy guard dog :3 #it was supposed to just be a fun little time in the character creator but noooo i just couldn’t help myself.#told myself Gale was a too obvious option and he doesn’t have the same unhinged dyke charm that Leo loves about Anders but. well.#he permadied and i had to do his weird and convoluted resurrection ritual and he has something to say about everything i do #so they talk to each other soo much more than anyone else and his approval is already at High after less then 6 hours and. yeah.#the wheels are in motion now. no going back #your daily dose of idiocy #leo hawke #dee plays bg3

Elena of Avalor is genuinely such a good show.

#Personal #You know I've never forgotten about this show for a single day even after it ended #Just thinking about it makes me happy already but I recently listened to all the songs again #and directly interacting with the show and rewatching the clips from it hits so much different #I really need to do a full rewatch someday I haven't watched the show in ages #Just episodes I love most or something random for the content making purposes which is certainly not the same as watching for pure enjoymen #I probably realized it long ago but I'm currently in the 'analyzing my life' state of mind #and this show means so much to me on a personal level too because it brings up so many important topics to me as a person #And it just does it so well it's clear to see that creators actually cared about the story they wanted to tell #And really EoA also has absolutely fascinating and unique worldbuilding #and in the combination of important not trivial messages and dynamic layered characters this is just such a solid show #It really deserved to get more recognition #I wouldn't even say attention because lots of attention may cause more harm than good #It's actually more about recognition and acknowledgement #Really I'm not even talking about what a huge impact being a part of the fandom has had on my life #it's worth the whole separate post #I'm just talking about the show itself and how great and meaningful it is #Anyway EoA warms my heart and I'm so happy I encountered this show

hey girl did it hurt? when he loved you so much he gave you immortality, but not enough to ask if you actually want it?

#maybe if he didn't insist on omitting the topic of death you could talk about it and realise how much of a coward he was.#but now he made you go from a creator to a creation and you don't even recognise yourself in a mirror #stripped of your body your past and your voice is it really still you anymore?#does he love you as the person you used to be or as a scientific miracle he created himself #why bother thinking about it? it's far too late for either of you to let go.#oc #original character #the artist #why did nobody tell me that creating an oc means i have to be the one to draw all the stuff #so yeah enjoy a collage of all the doodles of it on definitely not important papers that should not be cut up #i have no self control and I'm rotating it in my mind 24/7 #tales of the black cat

I will never turn down the opportunity to hear about someone’s OC or WIP. I love hearing people talk about stuff they made and are passionate about. It makes me so genuinely happy.

It doesn’t matter if we’re strangers or best friends. It doesn’t matter if you’re on the verge of publishing or it will never see the light of day. It doesn’t matter if the lore is deep and developed or if you literally just came up with some dude two minutes ago. Tell me the things! I love the things!

man. now that i think about it. crisis core sure did do that to zack's potential as a character huh

#listen. i respect the creators' original vision. however #i also firmly believe that their vision was stupid af.#zack had so much potential to be an interesting character with his own motivations and goals and agency #and then angeal hewley happened with his dreams and honor bs... and it all went downhill from there.#and that's the thing!!! the potential is still there!! all zack has to do is realize that angeal was talking out of his ass #and that genesis was a lunatic and didn't need to be taken seriously #and that he can make his own goddamn decisions without having to consult spectres of a bygone era of insanity.#babygirl they are a terrible influence on you. break free. you are so close to the epiphany come onnnn.#sigh. oh well. canon and fanon zack are different out of necessity and i love and loathe them both for many reasons.#but man. canon zack needs a push. rebirth ALMOST had it too. so damn close yet so far away.#rant over it's one of those mornings folks. happy wednesday. sparkle on!#zack fair #ffvii

I miss having shows I was passionate about. Characters that I understood and cared about. I'm watching reruns of shows - most some gone before they had their whole story told.

What kills me is the ones that did go past a single/aborted series just became trash, especially recent ones. Yellowstone. Good Doctor. Voltron. Literally anything in the Marvel universe. Lucifer (and loved that show, and I couldn't even finish the series because of season 5).

I mean, even 9-1-1 was canceled, and it was Fox's most popular series (and yes, I know it was immediately picked up, but it's an exception not a rule). If that doesn't have a chance at staying on air, why the fuck should I get involved in anything else? Unless it's some hack crime procedural where everyone is as emotive and likeable as a post, no show ever gets renewed or given the chance it deserves - in fact, being good seems to be the Kiss of Death.

uuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh - why can't CREATORS BE HALF AS COMMITTED AS FANDOM?!

#i finished rewatching Deception and I am now twice as mad #I loved that show #no bad episodes no bad characters #but they stuck in on at 10 o'clock on a fucking Sunday when it was actually pretty kid friendly #if they stuck it on at 8 or 9? Absolutely would've kicked ass #prodigal son had the same creators and writers and it got screwed too #and the show they canceled it for had one of the lowest premieres out of their new line ups and almost immediately got canceled too #what's the point in watching and being invested if they're not going to love it half as much as we do

James in the fo3 character creator because I forgot when I had the comparison between New Vegas and 4

#he looks like hes seen things. james its too early for your trauma to set in babe #anyways as much as I love nv i feel like the character creator in 3 is genuinely better and more polished #vinny rambles #fallout 3 #lone wanderer #james (oc)
