i like that william & the werewolf contains singular "they" but it bugs me a disproportionate amount that a) people assume it's being used for the werewolf and b) people think the werewolf is called william. there's an and in the title for a reason! the werewolf is called alphonse. william's his friend :)
#it's also actually about as heterosexual as medieval werewolf stories get#which is honestly quite disappointing#but it's okay bc there are others that are queerer#also: there is an irish translation called eachtra uilliam#alphonse is called ailpius#william and the werewolf#this is the post that was in my drafts#my one singular draft#why did i draft this and when and why didn't i post it. i don't knoe

yes Annie is visibly mentally ill. just because she is visibly mentally ill doesn’t mean we really have any idea what her lived experience is, simply because symptom burden is so different from person to person…I think we can say that some of the symptoms she has upset her, because Finnick helps her mitigate them, but beyond that it’s conjecture (and room for interpretation!). the narrative makes her out to be her mental illness and nothing more, and her mental illness is portrayed as the most interesting thing about her. we simply do not have to do that and can do better.
#.txt#thg#annie cresta#many other things to say. Will make a series called ongreenergrasses is visibly mentally ill and sick of people holding up visible mental#illness as something it’s not. it’s simply a Thing#this is very tame actually you should see the drafts I have because oh my GOD the manic pixie dream girl woobificafion thing is CRAZYYYY#anyway I’m sick of seeing posts defending Annie’s singular characterization as mental illness ™ and have offenders blocked but one deeply#upset me the other day and I’m not over it. can we tell

"The Boy With The Thorn in His Side"(x) - The Smiths × 2023 Strollonso moments + pundits' reactions
#baby's first web weave please be kind#frankly i could make a giant masterpost on my opinions on which Smiths songs fit which drivers/ships#i like their music a very healthy amount and I don't spend countless hours daydreaming to it...no....#but this particular song has been haunting me bcs i think it fits them super well!!#with their relationship dynamics and then the way everyone doubts their relationship#though its been hilarious watching the f1tv commentators kind of resign themselves to 'ah well ig this is what AMR/Fernando is like now'#went from being confused and shocked at their on track comradery to just accepting it for what it is#now theyre like 'ah yes lance dutifully lets fernando pass' compared to the previous ouright disbelief and denial#yeah thats right...theyre in love...what are you gonna do about it...#i think one day itd be fun to make a vid comp of all the times the commentators were ?????? at strollonso's lovey doveyness it is fun TO ME#it was really funny to look through shitty articles for negative comments#but the funniest part is that istg all of the articles just quote this one singular man who is hellbent on being a hater#i am in your walls peter windsor.#i think its silly when they bring in 'f1 experts' for their opinions ona drivers motivations and mindset#they act like such armchair psychologists like bruh your degree is probably engineering or journalism calm down!!#hehehe anyways happy with this!! i wrote it out on paper like a whole ass essay draft to brainstorm what to put#and then i scrolled thru the draft while listening to the song and im just EEEEEEE IT FITSSSSSSS#f1#formula 1#formula one#we do a little bit of f1#lance stroll#fernando alonso#fa14#ls18#1418#1814#strollonso#alonstroll#normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion

David Simmons, “There’s a ton of lore on unicorns too”: Postmodernist Micro-Narratives and Supernatural in TV Goes to Hell: an Unofficial Roadmap of Supernatural
started writing this mostly as a reflection on the above chapter from TV Goes to Hell. the show from its initial outset is based around a particular formula. the brothers often rely on a postmodern patchwork of stories to 'solve' their monster-of-the-week. on this show, everything can be real all together, all at once: from alternate myths and histories, to movie monsters, to urban legends, cultural gods, and folk tales. this cultural melange gets 'tamed' through the frame of the show's monster-of-the-week format itself, where everything gets solved to fit a singular narrative: identify the monster, find a way to defeat it, and successfully eliminate it (there are rare exceptions to this formula: bugs is the standout)
there's a tension between the characters' research, drawing from unofficial sources, local legends and civilian accounts versus the show's format demanding, in a sense, that fear of the unknown (really a fear of difference) be conquered through the simplified logic of its formula. unofficial sources and beliefs become incorporated into an official narrative, so to speak. they gain legitimacy and authority through our heroes use of them, not the other way around. magic is evil when a witch uses it, but somehow the rituals and spellwork our heroes use to defeat them don't count. you feel me. and that same logic applies to what monsters count as real and what doesn't. on this show, everything becomes real when our protagonists are able to see it and kill it.
(1.01, 'Pilot')
so a common show critique i see tends to separate the more episodic plots of the early seasons (1-3) from the more serialised grand epic narratives of 4-5 onwards. well my argument is this - nah, that impulse was there from the start! the mystery of the show was always going to dissipate, because explaining away the mystery was always a part of its initial premise. the concept that - 'the monster under your bed is no longer scary when you can name what it is and learn how to kill it' - turns into -> a fear of death? heaven and hell and everything else in between are now real, tangible places! fear over external, powerful forces meddling in your lives? demons, angels, leviathans, god himself! now all real and tangible beings! the air of horror and mystery shrouding s1-2 was never gonna last. the murky horror was always a means to a defeatable end.
(5.19, 'Hammer of the Gods')
anyways. there's an obvious mythological hierarchy in this series and it's very funny to me. all gods and spirits and monsters, even the ones predating christian mythology, fall under its ruling (white, judeo-christian) narrative authority. the postmodern embrace of multiple narratives is a ruse. all incompatible things lead to a universal truth. the show doesn't dispell the existence of differences; rather everything is to be combined, united under a totalising front, despite the contradictory nature of that impulse. this narrative then, down to its bare bones formula, is a civilising mission. civilisation barreling in, banishing fear and uncertainty from the light. and in order to stay in that light, one must submit to its complete authority. by this show's logic, uniformity ultimately requires the subjugation of difference.
#re: note essay on the last post. well time to release this stupid monster from the drafts lol#Unity..............#also the reason why the show couldn't sustain its early balance between deutragonists#that totalising impulse also applies to the gradual singular focus on one brother over another#rather sam's defiance gets eaten away bc that was always the inevitable end goal#preserving civilisation = a suppression of difference = no change can be allowed to the social order OR the story formula#this show's unintended? partially intended? brilliance to me is how its ideology stacks on several levels:#through an interpersonal dynamic between two brothers. through its episodic formula. and on a grand mythological scale#a discussion on abuse to me falls under the same umbrella as a discussion on the show's ideology#supernatural is a modern western#my meta#j.txt

7am, eating cold leftover teriyaki stir-fry for breakfast and crying over blorbos
#normal Saturday morning behavior#redacted spoilers#redacted audio#redacted sam#Seven.txt#rp audio stuff#well. crying over one singular blorbo in particular. Sam's still got me in an emotional chokehold#and i'm too sad to even make a stupid little joke abt how i wouldn't mind if it was a physical one too. ayeee *insert sad eyebrow wiggle*#no but seriously. i have so many feelings abt him and i can't even say it all bc some of it isn't public info yet#eh fuck it i'll just draft this until the audio goes public and then i'll post it once it's no longer Exclusive Info#bc i dont wanna leak Early Access stuff but i have to get this out of my system rn and the new audio is part of what sparked these thoughts#which is funny bc i. literally haven't even listened to it yet. i'm not Ready 😭#where's that tiktok screenshot that's like. 'hyperfixation so bad that i can't even engage with the source material' bc that's me rn#like bro Sam only won the poll like. 2 or 3 days ago and Eric is Already dropping a new Sam audio?? hello? Mr. Redacted i wasn't prepared#anyways i was spoiling myself by perusing the comments last night trying to get a feel for if it's gonna be more angst or comfort#and i saw a comment that absolutely shattered me. and it reignited all my sad thoughts about Sam's eventual. uh. y'know. death.#apparently they plant a tree together or smthn in the new audio (which already has me & my beloved 10y/o orange tree feeling some kinda way#but to the individual in the comments who brought to all our minds the image of Sam sitting beneath that tree in 30 or so years time#when he's decided that he's ready to die and sits out there waiting for the sun to rise..................... 🥲#i'm gonna need u to compensate me for all of that unexpected emotional damage /j /nm#i'm Still not over what he told Darlin' while they had their talk about the future up on his roof together. that audio killed me#then yesterday i was listening to my Sam & Darlin' playlist while cleaning. and Malibu Nights by LANY came on. which i always skip bc Sad#but i let it play and just started crying. standing in the middle of the room all disheveled and holding a broom. as one does.#iirc that song is one that Eric himself said is applicable to Sam which is why/how i found it and put it on the playlist. and god. g o d#hm. i hope that wasn't Patreon exclusive info. i can't remember if it was a public post where he said that or not. hope it's okay to share#but if we can take that song as like. unofficial canon for Sam then that also confirms my idea that he used to drink to cope#which makes the opening lines of Fix What You Didn't Break by Nate Smith even more applicable. i should go edit that post actually#anyways i'm just. feeling a lot. and i love Sam very much and i don't want him to die. but i want him to do what he wants at the same time#Alexis took so fucking much from him. he deserves to live - and end - his life on his own terms. ... i think i need to go write something#*casually fishes this post out of the drafts 3 and a half days later* hi so uh. i wrote a 4k oneshot :) and will hopefully post it tomorrow

what kind of exam puts the big essay question in the middle??? what kind of hell world am I living in
#quil’s unholy underworld#found this in my drafts from earlier today#took a very shitty exam this was only one problem with it#it was 13 questions. 1 essay question#and it was question 5 out of 13???#and we weren't allowed to go back once we'd answered a question#i already complained to my mom about it but maybe i'll do so here again#the questions weren't. weren't even about the content of what we've been reading the past 5 weeks??#it was about a bunch of fucking tiny details#like 'which of these four authors was part of the english depart at this school?'#which like. yes we did mention that. but ONCE. and yes knowing author's backgrounds and accomplishments#especially from marginalized communities is also good#but thats??? not at all what we've been mainly focusing on???#we've been focusing on and analyzing their WRITING#for 95% of class every single class#WHY are we not drawing from that on the exam#I don't fucking know that one singular detail mentioned once in the documentary we watched once and can't access on our own!!#i didn't know I needed to memorize the smallest shit!!#the teacher is nice and the class is enjoyable but my professional (i've been a student for years) opinion is that that's not a good#exam structure

my latest project [which i started years ago & am now getting back to] is writing out dreams ive had as [very] short stories, which is good for me bc i kinda lack the imagination to create a compelling plot on my own & the stamina to write anything longer, but it also means i have to Remember Dreams
#tiddytaco#i have a few drafts so far#from dreams where i could remember the whole thing & they had a story coherent enough to write down#theres some others that dont necessarily have a story to them that i might try to turn Into a little something#i shared my latest attempt in the chat & nobody was interested so i prob wont do that again#lest i convince myself it isnt worth doing at all#but i prob will ask my dad to look at them at some point bc hes a writer & an english teacher#i do think its a worthwhile project & id like to do enough for it to be A Thing#even if nothing comes of it once its done#ive always wanted to write something Complete#not like a whole singular story i dont think i could do that#but this feels doable. like a bunch of Very Short Stories compiled together#& maybe the more i do it the more ill be able to flesh out the dreams i only remember a tiny bit from into their own thing#& who knows maybe with this as practice i could come up with a story of my own one day. probably not but who knows

#junpei.txt#i would queue more but i have no more ze posts left. this is the real limiting factor#well that and the fact that literally all of the posts that I have left in my drafts are a) ai b) succession c) one singular natsume post#oops!
