sorry to be a bit of a hater but i do wish youtubers weren't so scared of making their videos just like, "reviews", whys everything gotta be a "video essay" all the time. every day my recommendations are filled with 40 minute videos titled "_____: An Underrated Masterpiece" where the first like five minutes are reading the wikipedia definition of "masterpiece" in a somber voice with dramatic themed text on screen. please just tell me how good or bad you think something is and use the rest of the runtime to explain why. you dont need to put on all these airs
#i know the ahem. channel. of some awe....... that whole situation kind of scared people off from using the word review#but like we live in the future now. you can make a review. i believe in you#AND LIKE i like a good video essay!! but im picky. because i read academic shit for fun#when i see a capital E essay im expecting theses. im expecting sub headers. im expecting multiple examples AND footnotes with asides#(and i know this is a controversial topic but i do expect them to be long. because if you read aloud a 4 page journal article its gonna)#(take a bit of time LOL maybe i just read too much academia shit. but i dunno man. theres not a lot you can say about like a big huge)#(topic with multiple angles if you only have like 10 minutes. maybe i just talk too slow. i need to breath <3 )#theres other formats too. surveys. retrospectives. informative essays. persuasive essays. etc#and like i also read lots of reviews not just of like movies and books but of like gallery exhibitions and shit!! they can be extremely#interesting a lot of work and some really beautiful writing!! nothing wrong with a review!!! theyre important#but i do get annoyed with like. the odd air of pretention i see in a lot of video essays. especially cause its usually not backed up by#the content. i dont care for those airs in academia either. nor do i like it in documentaries#just talk naturally. you'll find your voice. there might be pretention in it in the end but it'll be yours#if im making sense. i hear a lot of people talking in a pretention that is not their own. something they put on because thats what they#think they should do. you need to find your own pretention. be pretentious in a way that feels natural to youuuuuu#hell im being pretentious. about this LOL but like its my own. it is a pretentiousness ive built over the past half decade#play around. write a blog. i dunno. find your voice dear youtubers. find your voice

not to be obnoxious on main but classic literature is not global literature. it's western literature at best
#not to vague but like. name one book from my country i dare you guys.#sorry this set of posts just makes me so fucking mad. like i'm also guilty of this because my ass can't speak any other language but#books of importance from other countries outside of the western hemisphere. especially if theyre in a language which is not english#go largely ignored by the western world at large despite their importance to their countries of origin#and its a double standard to have to expect to know like. for the most part the literature of native english-speaking or european#countries. when i'm certain a lot of these people don't know any of our literature or their importance to us#its so fucking pretentious. like i wont say im not guilty of it as a monolingual english speaker so that list of classic literature#is whats most accessible to me but like christ. get your head out of your ass. they didnt even say something bad about the book. holy fuck#sorry im just so fucking pissed. and i know these people are white or some form of american canadian whatever#im not denying the importance of the book in question its just Your Experiences Are Not Universal. why dont you respect our literature#before demanding the same respect for 'yours'#'uhh but i didnt know about those bools and their history-' YEAH BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAPPEN IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD. ITS THE SAME OVER HERE#BUT IM NOT CALLING YOU OUT FOR IT AM I? EVEN THOUGH THOSE BOOKS ARE THE CENTER OF A MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENT IN MY COUNTRY#im so pissed.#woe be upon ye

dude ok why are there are so many viral text posts on here complaining about zombie fiction that doesn’t call the zombies zombies in-universe? like first of all you can say the last of us it’s fine, there’s really nothing else recently majorly relevant you’d be complaining about, second of all who gives a shit? it’s such a minor worldbuilding detail and such a weird thing for people to fixate on and be like personally bothered by. i wouldn’t even be posting about this except i’m watching an old playthrough of the original tlou and i remembered how there’s like multiple vague posts in this vein and i just really don’t understand why people give a shit

Cotton candy and cookie dough!✨
cotton candy— do you prefer savory or sweet food more?
I almost said sweet for this, but tbh as I was typing I realized that's not actually true anymore, lol. I still have a major sweet tooth, but I've started leaning more towards savory food lately.
cookie dough— do you prefer jewel tones or earth tones? (so, do you like cool toned colors more or warm, earthy colors more)
I usually prefer cool tones, but my general preference really just boils down to "I like black"

getting my parents to watch succession has been a morbidly fascinating experience. theyre both very smart people whose opinions i respect BUT. when it comes to tv specifically. they watch so much stuff that's shoddily made and have such low expectations for the medium/the level of artistic intent that can be behind it as a result that my mom was just telling me "i can't tell if the show wants me to hate them or wants me to feel bad for them" Jennifer. I know if this was a book you would not be asking me this question like there's actually a chance this show is actually the shittiest possible version of itself when its like that

being a horror fan is actually still eating in the kitchen even though its got windows and its midnight and half of the lights are off and youre watching a video about undertale, a game that may be wholesome but still carries an eerie vibe, which gives you a tinge of distress, ever looming in the background of your emotional buffet. as the video plays an upbeat tune you pretend to be not scared by the dark like a child and dance along. you remember to not be an ass and clean up after yourself, but the visualizations approach in the windows. the possibility of some terrifying creature or even just a vision occuring is slim, yet it still gets to you. you walk, almost on your tip-toes back to your room, acknowledging the silliness of your childish irrationalities. this always occurs, every time you do this, not with the exact scenario, but almost every night. each time slightly raising your heartbeat.
damn i started writing a y/a novel in there somewhere, sorry.
another option is you thinking beetle fighting is cool even though you hate bugs
