What Fantasy Writers Can Learn From Mr. Bungle
In the realm of fantasy literature, where worlds are bound only by the limits of imagination, finding unique sources of inspiration is crucial. For writers looking to inject a dose of the extraordinary into their narratives, the eclectic and often surreal music of Mr. Bungle offers a treasure trove of creative cues. Known for their genre-defying soundscapes and theatrical flair, Mr. Bungle…

Can someone explain what the narrative stakes are even supposed to be anymore in jjk. All the characters are essentially guaranteed to die, the current cast is comprised almost entirely of characters who showed up 2/3rds into the story and we're supposed to care about them for some reason, and I do not even know what the threat is supposed to be anymore. The apocalypse? Destruction of an amorphous innocent society? Like has ANYTHING been shown of "here's the regular world that apparently needs to be saved" or are we just supposed to assume "this society is just Real Life+, so you're REQUIRED to care if some guy threatens to kill all humanity, because one of those humanities may be... a child" or something. Can you spare two seconds to show anything other than some magic randos fighting, or is it just a superhero story all the time now, minus the fun. Remember when yuuji had friends.
#jujutsu kaisen#jjk crit#sorry for like being salty in what will prob be the main tag#I simply do not vibe at ALL with the direction this series has gone in and would love someone to complain about it with ahfkaj#I'd write an entire meta on the narrative flaws but I do not feel like it#seriously though it's chill if people like the story and I'm not trying to cause shit by tagging it#well I'm sort of trying to cause shit#but that shit is 'blease will someone complain with me because I love complaining'#I just don't get it#like oh wow you killed characters off and established stakes! that sets a tone and shows that this is a serious conflict!#oh nvm you've killed everyone just to be gratuitous about it and prove how tooootally realistic your story is#and now there's no reason to care bc why get invested when there's an 80% chance the characters will all die#like. you're just alienating people from caring about the story you're trying to make them care about#idek what kenjaku is supposed to be up to anymore#for all I care he could explode the world and I'd be like whatever there was probably no one interesting left anyway#everything that happens anymore in jjk feels like someone said 'but what if all the nonsense in DBZ... was edgy'#and then thought they did something interesting#wooooahhhh someone did a fight for 70 chapters! so innovative and unique!#someone transformed! what a twist!!#woooahhh you did a nonsense rug-pull and are now lying to us acting like it was intended the whole time! sacre bleu!!!#anyway see my previous complainy post to see why gojos plot specifically is harmful bullshit#but it's a shoooooneeennnnnn#it doesn't neeeeeeeed to be written well or responsibly amiright?!#it just needs to make straight guys on twitter think they're unique for saying 'the real issue with jjk is that some women like it '#ok I'm done complaining. FOR NOW.#I'm sure I'll think of something else to complain about in two seconds.#fluffle talks

i think whether or not you like ateez's music and concept you have admit that is pretty cool to see a group having their own identity and sticking to it and not really caring about what the masses want this industry is so saturated everyone does what everyone is doing because that's what brings them popularity and money and whatever else but having a group saying that 'this is our identity and music and we will stick to it' is quite huge nowadays and quite impressive to me that's why i just respect ateez so much, especially in that regard

Do you ever get sucked into finding out the internal life experiences of a stranger? I wonder how interesting narratives would be if being palatable wasn’t the highest priority.
The real un-marketable version. People want the credibility of identities, want to market the biographies.
They want to sell suffering with obvious villains , smoothed down and made palatable to the milketoast readers they prioritize. To assuage guilt with stories that promise to make them better people “I’m not racist, I don’t act like THAT” while never threatening them (which isn’t how it works), discomfort is part of growth. In the end, people have no investment in the actual voices.
Always, the real experience is first sacrifice at the altar of marketability. Even the nutritional benefits of learning is stripped away in the name of making biographic junk food.

Hi! This isn’t Keitor related but I’m curious to see your thoughts hahajskajs. If you haven’t started playing TotK yet, (or even if you have) what are your hopes for it?
@arinrowan: Hi! How are you enjoying the new Legend of Zelda game?
anonymous: I know you are off living your best life playing tears of the kingdom but I miss you and your daily posts hope you are well and come back soon
-
So I have now finished TotK—
((and by "finished" I mean I've completed the mainline story, all shrines/lightroots/tears, nearly all the side-quests, and collected the majority of armor,,, yes, I am a completionist, are you really surprised?))
—and I am utterly //obsessed//. No spoilers to those who're still avoiding them, but the story is a damn masterpiece; yes I did cry at That Quest because it was heartwrenching goddammit, and I loved loved loved everything about the Zonai (fingers-crossed for the inevitable expansion pass to throw more ancient lore & ruins our way). New enemies? Fantastic. Return of temples & bosses? Pretty excellently done tbh. Re-hashing of the same map to give well-versed players the correct balance of new yet familiar? Absolutely stellar.
My only real disappointment (and this is me being particularly nitpicky) is that I was //really// hoping to be able to rebuild Castle Town à la the Tarry Town quest from BotW (though,, with less ugly houses please) but maybe nintendo will grace us with something of that vein in that aforementioned expansion pass! 🤞🏻

The Riftwar Saga: Crafting Epic Fantasy Worlds
In the well-trodden landscape of fantasy literature, Raymond Feist‘s “Riftwar” series is akin to a magical tempest – it came, it saw, and it decidedly left its mark. This wasn’t just another saga of swords and sorcery; this was an epic that tore through the fabric of the genre and stitched it back together with a twist. With its blend of traditional fantasy and bold narrative innovations,…

i think as time goes on itll be easier to like the beatles as long as we keep up the trend of younger people not liking them.
#do you know how much easier itd be to accept that they made good music and innovated quite a bit#if i wasnt constantly having them shoved down my throat as THE MOST IMPORTANT BAND TO EVER EXIST#idk from my perspective... they were active in the 60s bro if they didnt exist someone else would have made those same innovations#other people around them were innovating all over the place#and the entire british invasion (which wasnt even just them!!) was built on the forward thinking of black american artists in the 50s#so like. yeah if the beatles didnt exist music history probably wouldnt have been that crazy different#like youre telling me NOBODY else. IN THE 60S. would have made the same steps forward that the beatles did?#like you really think john was this magical being gifted with creativity that invented all these ideas out of thin air???#no. their innovations were because they were active during THE decade of experimenting and making new moves in pop & rock.#people around them were inventing whole new genres and recording styles too smh anyway. its just so annoying.#they were just the most popular and one of the more active groups at the time so a lot of changes were credited to them#(even some of the ones that they didn't actually come up with.)#avpost#anyway. that's my rant. also they didn't even get good until bob dylan taught them to smoke weed.#i also alluded to it before but i don't think the 60s were such a time of innovation bc of them either. tired of that narrative#the beatles were not the only new band doing wildly different things in 1963 the stones crossed over at the exact same time#followed very closely by a lot of other uk bands.#plus like i said these bands were only so different bc they grew up loving black american artists' music .#so... that's the group that was actually innovating. the uk bands wereinspired by THEM. where's their flowers.#and there was tons of evolution in music during the 60s that had fuck all to do with the Beatles or rock at all.#*gestures aggressively to the invention of soul. which affected any and all pop music that came after it*#ive seen it argued that the supremes deserve just as much credit as the beatles do#but as a diehard supremes fan ill keep my opinion on that to myself since im . VERY biased.

it’s just that the notion that people don’t like that ty wants to be a centurion because they’re “like shadowhunter cops” is so fucking ridiculous and i’m seriously questioning your reading comprehension skills. ty’s entire deal is that he wants to be a detective. what do you idiots think a detective IS. and furthermore your interpretation of his character is all wrong if you’re worried about his problematic career. he IS problematic!!! he’s the worst fucking boy alive!!! did you miss the narcissistic sociopath tendencies? did you ignore the issues because he was sad that one time? congratulations you fell right into his trap. fucking idiot.
