#the book that can never be erased

that one top tier Book with 30 chapters & 114 parts >>>>>

It's honestly wild to me that ToA went through so much trouble to emphasize the fact that Will did not magically fix all of Nico's problems and was explicitly not Nico's only doctor.

Only for TSATS to have Will fix all of Nico's problems and have Nico be entirely reliant on him the entire book and literally helpless without him and LITERALLY have Nico's problems be magically removed.

listen i am over the moon that dc has finally decided to bring sin back into black canary's story. i love that. i love sin lance. i love dinah lance. i love their relationship. what i do not love is the fact that they have retconned what sin really is to dinah. sin is not and has never been her sister. she is her daughter. there is a difference and that difference matters. to take that away from both characters is ridiculous, pointless, and honestly deeply offensive. and yes i will die on this hill.

Tbh, can't believe I'm cutting ties with Fnaf before Batim.

i kinda want to write a deep dive essay on silence of the lambs WRT gender and transmisogyny bc it's actually a much more complicated topic than a lot of people realise

I love a good hateread but man it sucks when snobs think that critiquing popular genre fiction makes them smarter than the ppl that read it

That belief ignores that novels, and all art, are a medium. Blank page, blank canvas, etc.

Assigning a singular True purpose to art is reductive, and kind of silly? If you can't understand "the purpose" of an art piece, that's fine. The artist might've wanted that effect

Or maybe, just maybe, that particular artwork isn't for you.

Yeah, I think a lot of books kinda suck, that happens with art, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.

I'll rant to friends, and not read more from the author, and commiserate with fellow haters. But it is not stupid to read, to find enjoyment in what others mock.

Cringe is dead, indeed.

Beyond that, the True Art idea doesn't take into account all of the ways, all the reasons, books and art are consumed.

Often, people know their fave books aren't "high art", but they still read them! After a long workday, during their rare free time, bonding with friends, or just for fun.

It actually takes quite a lot of mental energy to read and process a lot of Literature. And the themes can be a fucking downer, not everyone wants a 600 page character analysis of a horribly broken person spiraling further.

There's a reason why I am still trying to finish this fucking Dostoevsky, yet have read so many cute queer romances between attempts.

Idk man, don't hate the player. Hate the game!

I'm not going to pretend it doesn't make me angry that I spend months and years trying to peddle my work to make ends meet, that I spend so much time mentioning my books and comms and everything, and people ignore that consisently... But the moment I finally break under the hopelessness - when it's obvious that it's fucking futile, that almost no one deems my work good enough to share with anyone else - suddenly they're concerned and scolding me. I'm working several jobs, bathing, generally keeping things clean, and I do this with several health problems including chronic pain. I found out that one of my cysts is growing and I may need to have it surgically removed. Which means potentially missing work to recover. Which means more money I lose. I spend so much time crawling out of the hole and it goes ignored, but the moment I just give up bc I don't have any strength left, suddenly that's my fault and I'm mentally sick. And that kind of makes me wish my entire situation upon people, and when they whine that it's hard, well fuck you, you thought I could ace it so surely you can, babe! I hate being angry about this, but it's just so exhausting to tell people who accuse me of not trying that I HAVE I HAVE SO FUCKING HARD AND YOU DID NOT PAY ATTENTION THEN Or you know you're attempting to gaslight me by claiming I didn't try despite that I obviously have worked my ass off trying, and that's so much fucking worse

seems like my heart does nothing but break lately

I feel like every writer/producer/etc in charge of every major franchise in the world is infested with brain worms that do nothing but sit in their minds all day whispering "kill off all of the fan-favorite characters! retroactively make that happy ending miserable!! destroy the expanded universe to make way for our controversial sequels!!! do itttttttttt"

I find it extremely funny how the author and sometimes the fans will often try to set up Coven 666 as the evil witch group who are super cool and besties, and cool and badass. When it’s actually just two girls who are lovers and one girl they force to tag-a-long so verbally abuse the girl because she's joke :))). It’s really fucked up since Dot is supposed to be the “fat girl” whose powers are to literally make chocolate and be kicked around by her peers because of her weight since it's comedic (or “satirical” which is crazy)

 It frustrated me so much because In Book 2 she started to lose weight and gained friends and somewhat became popular because of it (which is already self-explantation bad ). Andail and Hester proceed to constantly bully and physically abuse Dot for it. This led her to stress eat about her situation because their shit was overwhelming her. But yea they're best friends!!! They're best friends guys!!! The narrative says so.. It’s crazy how she always gets the short end of the stick. When Hort was also a character abused by his peers and also starts to  “better himself” He gained popularity because of it. Rhe narrative praised him for his glow-up and he was given importance.  But that energy was never given to Dot....Interesting

I understand being critical of remus but there's a real lack of understanding for his lycanthropy that comes as a reason for it on your blog. Kind of weird considering it's often depicted as an allegory for disability and the discrimination that comes with it

i mean,,,,that’s fair i guess? but i’m also gonna have to disagree for a bit there.

i don’t really touch the allegory part of it for…reasons but i’m gonna argue that i’ve never undermined it either. i do not like remus, but most of that is kept in dms and rant channels. what u guys see here is a very sanitised, nUaNcEd version of it. most of what i criticise him for is very like. individual choices he makes.

and ofc i realise that personal actions don’t exist in a vacuum, that those are informed by the structural conditions around him, but at most they can explain what he did, not justify it, yeah?

there’s hundreds of blogs out there that are real sympathetic to remus for precisely this reason. the entire reason i even started being critical was because THAT entirely ignored the fact that his behaviour had consequences for others. perhaps i swung too hard towards the other side but i think i keep it remarkably even here, on my blog at least, considering how much i actually dislike him lol

editing down my tob gameplay but only keeping the parts where i ramble about xan and radri and how they're each other's source of light and wonder but each only thinks that it goes one way

[8-evil-annoying-catboys]

no way that i saw someone tag a post about IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE: THE TRANSGENDER CRAZE SEDUCING OUR DAUGHTERS, with ‘tw transmisogyny’ and that’s it. not even ‘tw transphobia’ which the same person has a separate tag for. the book that is famously about trans men/mascs and how fucked up we are. not surprised to learn this same person believes transmascs don’t deserve a word to talk about transphobia that is specific to transmasculinity and that pointing out that transmasculine people have unique experiences with transphobia, just as transfeminine people do, is inherently transmisogynistic. ok.

HP fans are the stupidest kind of people on the planet i think
