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

also i am begging for people to realize that the "everything is canon" post from the sonic twitter account was a joke. it annoys me so bad that people use that tweet as a source in their arguments about sonic lore and stuff or just take it seriously at all ..... it literally means nothing it was just a silly comment they made when retweeting sonic and puyo puyo tetris crossover art but people always crop out the context when reposting it

#also im gonna be real with you even if it wasnt attached to the puyo puyo thing and was just posted by itself.#i still dont think it should be taken seriously in that case. the sonic twitter account isnt a serious source of lore lol #also obvious joking nature of the tweet aside #its weird to me that a lot of people seem to take it as all sonic media exists in the same universe .... ?#i mean i dont Not agree with the idea that all sonic media is canon #but i agree with it in the sense that just because a sonic thing isnt canon to the game timeline doesnt mean it doesnt matter #and that all sonic media is canon to whatever universe its set in #not that all sonic media to ever exist happened in one continuity #which if you want to play around with that idea thats fine but using that tweet to back it up just makes you look silly

I love Merlin. I've been rewatching it and am enjoying it so so much. But god this show is hard to watch sometimes. It's so tragic. Merlin is never allowed an ounce of hope or happiness. It's always quickly destroyed and as the viewer I just feel so frustrated. Merlin losing his father almost immediately after meeting him. Merlin losing every friend who knows his secret pretty quickly (except Gaius). Merlin losing a love almost as soon as he finds and gets to know her. Merlin hardening Arthur's heart against magic by accidentally killing Uther because of Morgana. Merlin saving Arthur, his best friend, over and over again with never a hint of a thanks because he's forced to do so secretly so as to not be burned at the stake. Merlin losing his best friend anyway his kind heart saved a young boy years before and you can't escape destiny. Merlin being forced to watch everyone he knows and love die while he keeps living. Merlin who just keeps living and living and living, carrying the burden of his failure and loss for centuries.

It just hits where it hurts. And to make the viewer experience the pain, anger, frustration, joy, hope, sadness, and grief the characters seem to experience is exactly why this show is still so popular, at least on Tumblr. It's exactly why it's still commonly trending despite no new content in years

#i also think it has to do with it being a family show #it really doesnt take itself to seriously #its genuinely funny without seeming like its trying to hard #it lacks the unnecessary drama and sex of most shows with the same type of setting #which means it doesnt get exhausting to watch #and the approach to the legend is very interesting #merlin is the same age as arthur and his servant not some wizened old wizard #morgana is not the enemy right off but instead lead down a dark path #arthur is not already the king and was in fact king for less than half the show #gwen starting out as a servant #magic being banned #magic never even being a part of Arthurs reign #its genuinely just such a fun and interesting show and still feels fresh despite its age and bad cgi #dont even get me started on the beautiful costumes and sets #merlin

i love him soooo much i love him so so so much

#ann gets engaged #thank you zeno robinson this was excellent #very hard for me to not just post the entire A support but #i really enjoy this one. i think fogado and pandreo are just sooo perfect #u get to see all the sides of their relationship in this game and i think thats lovely #also obsessed with the fact that when fogado needs a serious talk he doesnt just say ‘hey can we talk?’#he says ‘pandreo can you hear my confession’ thats funny as fuck #imagine trauma dumping on ur priest but hes also a frat bro so he just goes AW BUDDY…#theyre fantastic #but i also just like this part in particular bc yes engage is not a subtle game #but i think that fogado being honest is very fun. hes not hard for us as the player to read but in canon hes acts a little trickier #so its nice for him to just kind of. let that act go for a second to be real about how hard shit is #cuz its like. yk when hes doing all the behind the scenes stuff for his sister he doesnt really get to worry about himself #and hes trying so hard to stay smiling and push past it but mannnnn. hes just a baby…#i love himmmm :(((((((((((((((#also i feel like engage (not the only fe game to do this!) kinda brushes over the fact that theyre at war a lot #so to have fogado remind us that this actually isnt always party central. people are DYING. is kinda refreshing #i know engage doesnt take itself too too seriously but every now and then its nice to know where some of the characters stand in all of this #also tumblr has been chomping my videos to death and this is the only one that made it #and i uploaded it 10 hours ago. whatever

still havent forgiven yall for making the entire iwtv s2 plot themes of second chances, being failed and hurt again, grief and regret, lost childhoods and infantilization, long game manipulation, artistry and voyuerism, cycles of violence, and the complicated emotions in families with past trauma.... about armandanial. like that season gave EVERYTHING, delivered almost everything it possibly could for louis's arc, to set up claudia's tragedy.. but its abt a weird toxic romance yall invented in ur head. even ignoring the ACTUAL canon fascinating and complicated one ARMAND WAS ALREADY HAVING onscreen bc uhhhh old man yaoi or smth. yall can write a 2k meta post abt the way armand's eyes skated over daniel lingeringly and make every other post in the armand tag abt them but the real story of louis being vulnerable to abuse AGAIN right after leaving lestat or claudia's longing and bitterness for family while unable to trust louis just go unremarked some months later.

#no it irritates me sm bc everything yall invent abt armandaniel already exists in canon u just refuse to take loumand seriously and i dont #mean this in a ship way bc thank god louis's out but like. hey i wonder what the 90yo deuteragonist has that louis doesnt to make him more #fascinating to you in regards to relationship with armand.#idk waht happens in the books and idc bc either way most of the tv fandom here didnt come from the books & like the actual show itself has #ways been focused on louis in the plot #my post #iwtv #im so glad i only follow louis and claudia stans u people are so annoying

Say what you will about reboots and prequels, the new Willy Wonka was a very fun watch. I think it was full of whimsy and love. I enjoyed that the power of friendship and love was what made them happy (and helped them achieve their dreams) in the end. And I thought the whole movie was funny. There were no ironic jokes or fourth wall breaks, no subverting of expectations. You got exactly what was expected! A silly movie for kids, and it was nice.

#timothee chalamet willy wonka #wonka 2023 #wonka spoilers #i for one am kinda tired of every movie taking itself so seriously #sometimes things should just be completely wholeheartedly fun and silly. it doesnt make it lesser it makes it more enjoyable.

I KNOW. but if you are a true hater like me read my letterboxd review and come back #< worst guy you know. sorry #warlock wartalks #but yeah I think it’s a fun fuck you to the idea of these cameo fest movies in the moments where it DOESNT take that too seriously itself #while also being kinda a sweet goodbye to the early pre-monopoly era of marvel movies

the thing about deh is that the music is really fucking good if you divorce it from the plot

#me.txt #nik dont look #<- sorry im trash talking ur favorite musical #like everyone in the crew room yesterday was talkimg like 'yeah the plot isnt good and the show drags on too long'#'but the MUSIC is INCREDIBLE!!!!'#the plot cant decide whether to take itself seriously or not #and the show being marketted as some profound story abt mental health and lifting up unheard voices is so wildly incongruous with #THE CONTENT OF THE SHOW!!#this is a show about a kid who accidentally lied himself into a hole and doesnt know how to fix it #the mental health angle (in the context of the show) is just another aspect of evan's lie #whatever.#i think the story could work if it picked a consistent tone and dropped the 'trying to be profound about depression' shit #and also if it was condensed into a more standard length bcuz why the FUCK does the show push 3 fucking hours

a sick twist of fate wow that just like in unplanned apoptosis when she says unmei nante shiritakunai sick reference

#sorry its in relation to the series i have to make the joke #more seriously i sort of get it #the lore is just so mucb and its all worded in the most complex ways imaginable #its no wonder everyone just goes 'cheers to that bro!' and doesnt dig in #ive been here over 4 years and theres STILL things to be discovered. its not for everyone #its like my little puzzle treat box if i flip things around & solve it right i get rewarded #but also wow is it lonely no one know what the hell im talking about #BUT ALSO i dont have to gatekeep the series does that itself #if this series were more accessible the takes i would have to see about apoptosis in particular would have me seething #shes awful yes but she has her reasons #its also okay bc ur doing ur part & getting into it too. good luck soldier #ur not the first person to tell me im strong for being so into it but i dont really see it that way #its just my puzzle game (song edition) its very fun to me. compels me.

i know she loves him because only someone that does would consider his flailing and crying and screaming on a rickety bridge to be “cool.” i see you girl. i get it.

also shoving this under the read more bc i dont want to keep making more posts i feel like ive spammed my blog enough already (even tho its. my blog. whatever) but odin is so sweet it makes me puke i love them so much

likeeebrgreheeggeeggrhsgsgggrgrgggwg

#ann plays fates #I LOVE THEMMMMMMMM #SOOOOOOOO MUCH #they are so dear to me #and ik this support is mostly really silly #which is fine!! its an odin support after all #but i know it can be hard to really get chemistry out of a support that doesnt take itself too seriously #but i think its adorable #and i also think they j have a lot of potential #odin with his whole complex about being second best to his cousin and uncle #and azura with constantly being sidelined by both families for a sibling she was meant to replace but never could #not to mention them both being outcasts in their own way #and also being royalty from two separate kingdoms but under REALLY WEIRD circumstances #i just think they have a lot in common in ways they both have no idea about and that is awesome #AND THEYRE J CUTE. SORRY. LOOK AT THEM. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER.#i love when hot people date

haha nooooo pokemon you don't want to fill your roster entirely with jokemon and things that only exist for a gimmick that won't exist next game and recolors of old pokemon noooooo you don't want to do that!!!!!

#talking #maybe im just getting old and joyless but i dislike these 'convergent evolution' pokemon that are just the same thing but a different type.#make it a regional form. why do you need to pretend it is a new pokemon. wugtrio is not new that is a water dugtrio you dont have to pretend #not to go 'oooogh the old gens were better' because i hate that as much as anybody else. pokemon is pokemon.#but i do feel like its not really taking itself seriously with a lot of the newer mons. design or concept or multiple or neither.#we're probably just in an era of designs that dont appeal to me specifically but its easier to blame it on gamefreak #doesnt help i dont even meet a lot of the new legendaries / forms because of these fucking dlcs. im not buying the dlc.#i would rather die than purchase these pokemon dlcs to be entirely honest. the games dont meet my standards enough to be paying #an extra 30 bucks for more nothing lol #this kind of got away from me sorry #i know everybody and their mother has complained about it already

Kim is a,fascist

are you stupid

#actually you perfectly articulated why i believe tumblr DE fans to be incredibly annoying and foolish #like im gonna explain more on this here in the tags #this is what i mean by the fact that i think not everyone should play this game #its a very complicated story and it requires you to really pick things apart and pay attention #and have really in depth uncomfortable conversations #many of those being political #its not an easy game to dive into and it takes a shitton of concentration and the willingness to put yourself in a space where youre ok wit #having really uncomfortable discussions and challenging your world view #and if you are not used to doing so without having basic kneejerk reactions to things and are someone who just doesnt allow themselves to #STOP AND FUCKING THINK #then DE is not going to be a game that will have any impact upon you #like yeah its got funny moments and people love to call it the funny communism game #but that is seriously such a pathetic way to look at a story that discusses the EXTREMELY COMPLICATED impact of systematic issues #like its a story that is not American or Western Centric made and that in and of itself is very important #the formation of the RCM is the specific way it is to have complicated conversations #so that one can hopefully avoid making really fucking stupid comments like the one you sent here #which btw reeks of you being American jsyk #anyway if you played this game and this was your take away just block me already #youre not someone who thinks #thats very clear #once you idk actually play the game and wanna have in depth conversations with me lmk #disco elysium
