Do you have any favorite/interesting short essays? I'm in between semesters and not wanting to fall totally out of practice reading academic writing.

I do! It seems like you're specifically thinking of academic essays, which for me are generally specialized enough that it's a bit difficult to recommend them without knowing what topics someone is interested in.

That said, some academic essays worth reading, which are available on JSTOR:

Julia Prewitt Brown's 1990 review "The Feminist Depreciation of Jane Austen" articulated a lot of my frustration with feminist critics' often rather narrow readings of Austen (it's not anti-feminist, but rather pointing out the short-sighted form of feminism and bizarre hot takes in what was then the established feminist literature on Austen specifically). 11 pages long.

Elizabeth McGrath's 1992 article "The Black Andromeda" about the whitewashing of Andromeda (especially in reference to Ovid's Andromeda) in art and general discourse around her. 16 pages long.

Jacqueline Jones Royster's 1996 essay "When The First Voice You Hear Is Not Your Own." I have a lot of gripes with composition studies, but this one's good. 11 pages long.

William K. Wimsatt and Monroe C. Beardsley's 1946 "The Intentional Fallacy" is very dated, but also very worth reading in terms of the history of anti-intentionalism, especially given how important anti-intentionalism is to modern fandom (usually in reference to Barthes's "Death of the Author" but the basic concept long predates it). 19 pages long.

It belatedly occurred to me that you might be looking for shorter or more casual essays than these, or on less directly academic topics (though maybe not!). For instance, if you're more "here" for SF/F than my other interests, there are some great essays in Uncanny Magazine and Reactor among others (I find Reactor a bit hit and miss, but when it hits, it hits hard). For instance, I recently read and enjoyed "Seven of Nine is a Third-Culture Kid" by Dawn Xiana Moon and "On Learning to Read Generously" by Molly Templeton.

I could also give you some recommendations for essays more directly about history or psychology in some area that I find interesting, but that's likely to be less accessible and I assumed not what a follower of mine was likely looking for.

hi! what's your favorite team red moment (can be only part of the team since there aren't many full team moments), and what's a team red moment you wish had happened in canon ?

ooo great questions!!!

its a bit difficult to decide, but some of my absolute favorite (dubiously) canon team red moments come from to steal or not to steal. Carmen's worry for the boston bois when she is briefly able to call them is so!!! and Player's light teasing to Carmen during Cleo's caper is great. A really fun one is when the team is in a milkshake shop in one of the failed endings, and zack and ivy and telling Carmen about how they came up with the song. ALSO WHEN ZACK HUGGED CARMEN DURING THE TRUST JULIA RESCUE!!!!

a moment i WISH i had in canon is a much harder question. Carmen Sandiego as a show leaves so much to be desired. One moment i'd totally kill for is a moment of Ivy being the one to put Carmen in her place or give her advice. not in a mean way! like, in the season 2 finale, when Carmen says something like, "I'll find out what happened to my dad all on my own, the only sure way i know." it wouldve been so amazing if Ivy said, "hey, you are NOT ALONE. ya dingus. Even if shadowsan ends up being the one who killed your dad, if you decide to hate him or take him down, you arent alone in this. Zack, Player, and I have been with you since nearly the beginning, and we will be with you to the end of the line." carmen literally isnt alone she has a whole found family. there is no way she would have been able to do any of this without them, emotionally or logistically

😭 (you know me I love a good "doomed by the narrative" otp eheh)

😭: What makes you sad about them

As you said they are doomed by the narrative, unfortunately, and that they are destined to be enemies first and foremost, not lovers ☹️. Although probably if they weren't like that, I probably wouldn't have ship them.

i know you said hopes had negative character development for the cast, but who do you think is better in hopes than in houses?

Better like in better writing, or better as in I appreciate them more?

Without a doubt, I'd say Felix and Sylvain who are better in Nopes than their FE16 versions, and in a way... Rhea herself, thanks to having more screentime when she isn't PTSD'ing lol

Call it chauvinism, but Sylvain in Nopes was scrubbed out of everything that made him... unlikable/feel flat in Houses.

His sob story about people only wanting to fuck him for his title/crest really felt... straight out ripped from some High School AU, with John McChad acting like an ass because the only girls who want to date him are interested in his situation as a heir of his dad's big company, and not because they love him. Yay. Great. Perfectly what I'm looking for in my medieval fantasy game where you whack people with swords.

Add to that the focus on crusts being the supposedly only reason why people are lusting over him - and not because, hey, you're a member of one of the most important noble houses in the Kingdom - to play in the general "crust bad" orchestra that can lead on the Supreme path, and the fact it's never ever adressed, and we have... this, which completely, to me, hides the other parts of Sylvain's character - like being someone who thinks outside of the box and resolves to lessen the reliance on his relic to defend the border by... creating a situation where they'll be no tension at the border, aka, a peace with Sreng.

Now, Sylvain works so well in Nopes partly because all of his "wah ladies only want my penis because i'm rich :'( " is erased, so we see a character who takes his duties as the heir of Gautier seriously, assists his Lord and friends and bring "new ideas" to help everyone. Sylvain, under his frivolous appearance and behavior, actually thinks and learns and suggests a lot of things that are quite useful, a bit like a "what if Sain wasn't only interested in courtship, but was raised as a future lord and had insight and suggestions on what to do". So sure, it's not as quirky and memorable as John McChad's sophomore year of school, but it fits better, imo, in the FE series.

As for Felix, well, it's more or less the same, his entire "duh boar bad chivalry bad and stupid - but wait no don't die and i'm sorry to have hit you dad i liked you but I was too busy playing the tsundere that I never got to say it to you before you died" schtick felt... old and annoying in FE16.

Sure, Felix can have his own, personal feelings about Dimitri being a hidden boar, but Felix is also the only heir of Rodrigue, and will become the next Duke Fraldarius, aka the second most important person in the Kingdom after the King himself, and the one tasked to protect it. Should Felix completely ignore his feelings and do what is expected of him, or take his role seriously? No, and Nopes has him give some "boar this, boar that", but Felix isn't a petulant 16 years old who wants to be "edgy" anymore, Felix is the next Duke - something he never shied away from, especially in his FE16 paralogue! - and has to start learning the job, thinking about Faerghus in something else than small jabs thrown at Dimitri and how to protect its people and second the King.

Heck, Felix's support in Nopes with Dimitri where Dimitri confesses about the ghosts, where Felix tries to carry him, the more or less cutscene where the general feeling is him saying to Dimitri he can count and rely on them... Given how FE16's Felix was written, even in AM, I can't see it happen before Rodrigue's death... and yet, in AG, Rodrigue is still alive (his optional death doesn't change those scenes), so when FE16's Felix realises there were more important things to do to help both his friend and country and dad but he only noticed it too late because he was too busy... being edgy, Nopes has him drop the edgy act (not completely drop it though, else it wouldn't be Felix anymore!) and act (lel) as his FE16 self, but only, without needing his dad to die first.

As for Rhea...

Having more screentime seriously helps, just like being allowed to talk about non plot relevant things with someone else than Billy or about Billy, I gushed a lot about the Nabatean paralogue, but it depicts her relaxing with her family (pissing on the "u r the only person i can talk to myself not the archbishop" pandering shit from FE16 even if FEH pissed on it first) and making tiny baby steps at apologising and confessing part of her guilt (for something completely stupid like Seiros the Warrior "borrowing" Cichol's shield to gift it to Willy!) to a member of her family.

Would that mean she would have confessed about the rez Sothis plan to Seteth earlier on? I... don't know, don't think so, and we don't have enough interactions between the two.

Compared to FE16 where she is an oyster until Billy turns green and Seteth nags her again and again and again, here she willingly makes the first step to apologise... sure, it's for something silly and not, resurrecting their mother, but it feels like a small progression (tiny baby steps) from FE16 where she has to be reveal stuff due to forced circumstances.

I also like how it sort of teases (or maybe that's just me lol) Seteth realising that Rhea still misses days long past to an unhealthy degree (tfw too much nostalgia), or just, having to remind her twice that those days are gone. Would he later realise her strange nostalgia hides something more deep, and ultimately her wish to "return" to those days by resurrecting Sothis?

idk, it's fuel for HCs and AUs, but for what it's worth, this paralogue and Nopes in general help flesh out Rhea more than what FE16 does, aka tying 80% of her mentions/appearances to Billy and Sothis.

(hell, in Nopes, she finally has lines with Flayn!)

On her variety interview she said after all too well short film her next project won't be romantic or smtg and then they started talking abt the other directors movie which is like centered around friendship and with her getting advice from Guillermo del Toro and how he mentioned that they ended up talking abt fairytales and such it could be either of those two or not those at all. P.S. I have been trying to connect the dots to find out what genre her movie is gonna be since the news came out to no avail as you can see.

i do think she is inspired by GDT, but i don’t think she’s gonna make a fully fantasy land movie. maybe some inspiration and elements from that world. and even if she does make a fantasy movie, i just can’t imagine the protagonist not being a woman who is coming into her own. i don’t think it’ll be a teenager-coming-of-age, but instead a grown woman coming-of-age.

Hello hello again ophe 👋😇

I like to send in asks to see other people’s opinions so don’t worry I like disagreements😇

And I remember that Trent wanted to open a bike shop/he likes to work on them

And do you have any last name headcanons for any of the contestants? Cause I have some to share

Trent Myers -is sounds better than cooper

Emma Schrödinger - like Schrödinger’s cat and she likes cats

Sierra May - it’s short and sweet to say

-All Stars anon

I’m over here breaking bad again😈

Hello hello, A.S. Anon! 👋😄

I knew there was a reason why I headcanoned Trent as a motorcycle boy! Turns out it isn't a hc at all, it's just canon!

As far as last names go, I have a love-hate relationship with the established 'fanon' last names from Total Drama Comeback. Some of them are really cool- like Bridgette Summers (fits her vibes) or Ezekiel Miller (has a lot of bumpkin farm boy energy). Even Lindsay Top has a simple sort of charm to it. On the other hand, Batofel? Sterecra? Those aren't even surnames! They're not even words!

For my own headcanons? I haven't really put a lot of thought into it, to he honest.

Though, I do think giving Trent the last name "Smith" as a nod to his role as 'the normal/average guy' in Camp TV, since Smith is the most common surname in Canada, is kind of funny.

"Weber" is a cute surname for Sierra, I think. It's German in origin, since her grandparents are canonically German, and it literally means "weaver"- which is a fun little call back to her grass weaving skills. It's also got 'web' in the name, which could reference her huge online presence and internet addition.

I also headcanon that Chase's surname is "Chen". It's a super common East Asian surname meaning "dawn" or "morning"; Chase Chen literally means "chase the dawn", which I think is a really fitting name for someone who's always On The Grind for views (and also just a really pretty and inspiring name meaning for someone so objectively awful /pos).

Speaking of objectively awful people, Julia's surname is "Baker". Her family followed their namesake, and Julia likely would have ended up working at Sweet Little Julia's too had her dreams of being an influencer not worked out.

Showed Ashley pic to my mother and asked her to describe her personality. Mu mother said she's a "witch" (I didn't show her nor told her about any rituals lmao), she likes to criticise and bully others but it's because she herself has low self-esteem, and that she's depressed but hides it.

🤩

Oh my god I can't believe I didn't already answer this.

Well, she's not that wrong, Ashley was definetly a cultist witch in the past I believe this a 100%

And y e s Ashley is depressed and deeply hates herself, your mother psychoanalyzed her to a T

Also fun fact I headcanon Ashley as ASPD so I think she's defiently depressed but also so out of touch with herself that she wouldn't even think about using the label

lol Julia tells her she's depressed one day and Ashley just answers nah that's the base human experience. They are the definition off the blind leading the blind
