so tired of the 'they didn't show us every single tiny little detail unfolding in this story so I don't find it believable' take like... part of watching a story unfold is connecting dots between scenes and picking up on the general narrative and actually engaging logically with what you're watching not just letting colors flash before your eyes

#this is both abt something specific and just very broadly also cause my GOD #are the tags of ANY show on earth full of these ppl #I don't buy this we don't see tons of x thing happening so I don't see the build up #are you aware not every element of a story is supposed to be The Big Thing #and that often creators are expecting the audience to follow along logically with the story/plot #sometimes you are supposed to pick up on subtleties and even use deduction to figure out minor logistics of a story #and yeah sometimes just make assumptions where it may be appropriate #I'm so tired of this 'every detail MUST be explained for this to enjoyable' crowd like fuck man #like idk I'm not explaining this well but it's just UGHH exhausting. not everything must be explicitly stated in a story to be understood #ESP on tv or in movies like omg #erin explains it all
