I don't expect anyone to understand this. But Arnold Rimmer is so Sondheim-character-coded to me.

to be fully honest this new trend of remaking and sanitizing not only gothic fiction and its genres (hill house, dorian grey, turn of the screw) and horror movies more generally (carrie, the exorcist) point to much more serious cultural movement than the death of art or the death of horror as a genre in the mainstream. specifically it is gesturing to a sanitizing effect in which cultural authority has now deemed the subversive as worthy of living but only if it is a) commodified and b) divested of all its subversive elements. we can play-act at feminism, trans inclusion, and anti-racism as long as it serves a corporate interest and does not actually challenge cultural authorities. we can adopt its aesthetics as something to be sold without actually inhabiting it ideologically. it is the newest manifestation of cultural authorities anesthetizing effect on anything that threatens it and it is becoming more and more prevalent. anyway i want to beat mike flanagan with hammers

i dont know how taako got pigeonholed as the bottles up their feelings twin when taako after reaching a certain point of stress will just start shouting an emotional monologue about how upset he is, and lup was in love with someone she saw on a daily basis for several decades before saying anything about it and got lost in a cave for years because she didnt want to tell anyone about an extremely dangerous plan she made that concerned the fate of the entire world, for which her backup plan seemed to be "itll be fine dont even worry about it"

One of the things that really bothers me in some solangelo fanfics is the way Will is written because authors will literally remove all his flaws and make him perfect. Like give me Will who goes to poke a pimple in tartarus just to check if it potentially has healing properties , give me Will who can unintentionally rude at times by being blunt and not having a filter, give me Will who does not hesitate to share his opinions. Like yes, Will is kind , forgiving, and has a strong sense of justice, is supportive , accepting, will put others needs ( emotional and physical) over his own but he's an audhd teenager with anxiety , self-worth issues and a hero complex. He is also very sassy ( at times ) and can be pretty scary when he needs to be. He is far from perfect, and ppl need to understand that !! His flaws make his character so much more interesting.

Rule follower Eddie really makes me laugh so hard, even if you ignore the literal underground fighting ring bc he was grieving and not acting rationally Eddie has never been a rule follower in his life. He was underage drinking, he quit dance and church even though his parents didn't want him to. He was a teenage parent! He ran off to war and didn't go to college, he went to LA where he showed up and immediately was doing crazy things at work despite being technically a probie. He kicks in hotel doors when drunk. Eddie is very concerned with doing the right thing and what he considers to be his responsibilities but he is not and has never been a rule follower

house md so wonderful and brilliant because it is simultaneously the heaviest, darkest, most serious show about love and loss and how trauma shapes people and the most unhinged thing you'll ever experience.

my roman empire is reading classic literature involving two male protagonists and yelling "GAYYYYYYYY" at the poor unsuspecting pages

admittedly i dont specialize in moshang so perhaps i am simply not seeing the scholarly discussion on the topic but whenever ive seen the idea of airplane being the guy who wrote the sv world into existence and now Lives There acknowledged in any kind of metaphysical capacity its always either been "airplane by writing the world literally created it" or "airplane was getting prophetic visions beamed to him from another world and he wrote that into a book in his" and tbh neither of these has ever really resonated with me. i dont want to overplay his involvement in the higher powers of the universe, but as a writer myself it kinda rankles to have his creative woes, which are covered in the story and are sort of the backbone of The Entire Setting, dismissed in such a way that would rob him of authorship of his own work. his writing does not innately have some power to make worlds into reality, but it's HIS.

to me he is not a god, not a prophet, just a poor author who has had his most successful work plagiarized by extra-dimensional beings who may or may not be fujoshis
