I really love that some stories wrap up and contain themselves and others are small wisps of a huge implied world and others just spool out infinitely, leaving threads open and unresolved all the time along the way. Self-contained stories might be the most technically perfect, but I aspire to have the sheer confidence of a long-running manga series to just. SAY things.

#once again: it's my Diana Wynne Jones vs. Naruto thing #Diana Wynne Jones books are beautiful plot weavings that tie up perfectly at the end and it's very impressive #but Naruto makes me crazy. it's so long and slow and. just. there's so much there that never gets fully explored #Naruto gives me hubris!!! like I've been saying!!!#it's not GOOD but it's FUN #and the ''introducing things without ever truly addressing them'' thing is a double-edged sword #it's fascinating and leaves plenty of space for readers to go insane. it unfortunately also makes you go insane though #because how dare the author set up these things and never follow through #yeag #narutoposting jumpscare #naruto is my current Bedtime Anime btw. thus the increase in narutoposting lately
