Love to write a book with an aroace protagonist and get reviews complaining that it didn't have a love interest :| 99.9%* of YA books have a romance plotline, can we not have 0.1% focused on other kinds of relationship?

Not every book is for everyone, sure, if you're looking for romantic YA then mine isn't for you. But there's a difference between "this book wasn't for me because I prefer romance" and "this book was flawed because it didn't contain romance" and boy, the latter hurts when your life doesn't either.

*Statistics absolutely pulled out of my arse here.

#sorry i know i'm not supposed to admit to reading reviews and definitely not supposed to post about them in public #for what it's worth this is about a general theme/trend rather than one specific person or review

I saw Miku at the village festival the other week trust me

#i drew Miku in an arbereshe traditional outfit for a trend on Twitter but lemme tell you something fun about the arbereshe culture #since the arbereshe are the descendants of Albanian people who fled their country as it was getting conquered by the Ottoman empire #over the course of CENTURIES #there are different arbereshe traditions #however they all (songs poems etc) revolve around the theme of “loss of the homeland”#but since centuries have passed nowadays nobody really feels a sense of sadness and longing for Albania #which means that at festivals ppl laugh and dance and sing songs that... have very sad lyrics lol #stuff like this SHOULD be in some fantasy setting it's A++ worldbuilding material #(now the actual tags)#hatsune miku #vocaloid #miku fanart #mikuhatsune #colorful #dramisdrawn #arbereshe

some stories are written precisely to elicit strong emotions from the reader INCLUDING negative ones. some stories and characters are meant to be upsetting, they are meant to challenge you and make you uncomfortable!! when a story makes you feel Big Feelings sometimes you are meant to sit in those feelings and ask yourself why! fiction is a great space to explore these emotions in a safe environment. you, as the reader, are meant to think critically about the art you are enjoying and that includes asking yourself questions like why has the author presented their art in this way and what are they trying to tell me. and then you get to have fun picking it apart and figuring it out and deciding what, exactly, the art means to you.

#this post has been in my drafts since SEPTEMBER and it just gets more and more relevant lately #and sure sometimes we decide in the end that the art is bad and that we don't like it. that's fine. i'm not arguing anyone's right #to dislike certain things. it's fine!!! but why are you acting like it's a personal offense??? what's going on??#like idk what is in the water these days that people have become so averse to Storytelling #the whole POINT is to make you FEEL SOMETHING!!!#why are you getting mad at artists for making you feel something!!!!#between some of the asks i and other authors get to the recent stuff with mouthwashing and epic saga and fucking nosferatu #NOSFERATU. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SCARY???#i really feel like i am losing my mind. i keep thinking of that 'disco elysium but its a little girl looking for her lost cat in the alps'#tweet. like this is really where we're at. people would rather feel Nothing. no one wants to be challenged #no one wants to explore Themes or read social commentary anymore it's so dire #let's all just go read our bland cozy fantasy story with found family and No conflict & nothing interesting to say at all #i'm sure we'll all be safe there #fuck!!!#also this isnt aimed at that anon i got a few days ago this is just like. a general trend i have noticed that is happening Everywhere rn

BOTW felt like it was telling the player; "Nature is an important part of who you are as a fellow creature of this Earth, and maybe building guardians of mass destruction isn't a good idea."

TOTK seems like it's telling the player; "Every tree is a potential enemy that's out to fucking get you! Burn. Surely, nothing bad has ever come from building guardians of mass destruction!"

#To everyone who first started with BOTW in 2017: WELCOME TO THE ZELDA CYCLE #the legend of zelda #zelda #botw #nature #totk #video games #nintendo #chasing that trending tag right when I made this comment 10 hours ago on a YouTube video lets go #link #game design #game themes #game narrative #loz #tloz #legend of zelda

*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?

tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.

#i really do have a love-hate relationship with this timeline #because it's FASCINATING lore. genuinely. and i think it carries over the themes of certain games REALLY well #but i also think it's indicative of a trend in loz's writing that has REALLY annoyed me for a long time #which is this intense need to cling to oot #and on a certain level i get it. that was your most successful game probably ever. and it was an AMAZING game.#and i think there's definitely some corporate profit maximization tied up in this too--oot was an insane commercial success therefore you'r #not allowed to make new games we need you to just remake oot forever and ever #and that really annoys me because it makes certain games feel disjointed at best and barely-coherent at worst.#i think the best zelda games on the market are the ones where the devs were allowed to really push what they were working with #oot. majora. botw. hell i'd even put minish cap in there #these are games that don't quite follow what was the standard zelda gameplay at their time of release. they were experimental in some way #whether that be with graphics or puzzle mechanics or open-world or the gameplay premise in its entirety. there's something NEW there #and because the devs of those games were given that level of freedom the gameplay really enforces the narrative. everything feels complete #and designed to work together. as opposed to gameplay that feels disjointed or fights against story beats. you know??#so I think that the willingness to allow botw and totk to exist independently from the timeline is good at the very least from a developmen #standpoint because it implies a willingness to. stop making shitty oot remakes and let developers do something interesting.#and yes i do very much fear that the next 20 years of zelda will be shitty BOTW remakes now #in which botw link appears and undergoes the most insane character assassination youve ever seen in your life #but im trying to be optimistic here. if botw/totk can exist outside the timeline then we may no longer be stuck in the remake death loop #and i'm taking eow as a good sign (so far) that we're out of the death loop!! because that game looks NOTHING like botw or oot.#fingers crossed!!#anyway sorry for the game dev rant but tldr timeline good except when it's bad #asks #zelda analysis

Over the years the Fallout fandom definitely has slowly crept further into a “moral high ground over suspension of disbelief” space. I see a lot of people discussing their opinions of Fallout through the lens of their own personal morals that they’d apply to their own life, which is… Strange to me. I feel like dystopian media especially is not the sort of thing you should be judging by your own real life standards. Most things in Fallout are extreme. Most of the factions do extreme things. A lot of the things people do in Fallout would be considered inhumane, cruel or uncanny by modern standards. Because it’s a post-apocalyptic dystopia.

This isn’t me saying “everyone in Fallout is evil, stop expecting otherwise,” because I don’t believe that to be the case. Even good-willed people in Fallout do shit that would be considered extreme by modern standards. I just see a lot of people shying away from discussing the “grittier” aspects of the franchise because it might for whatever reason imply you condone those things in real life.

#I personally think fallout plays into themes of hope and humanity’s drive to rebuild so #the whole raa wasteland makes everybody bad take isn’t my thing #but still. my point here is more that it’s hard to discuss evil factions in fallout without it being like.#taken as a testament to your own beliefs #part of the fun of fallout is observing people doing weird shit in a dystopian setting #part of what makes it compelling too #fallout #which there’s a strange phenomenon going on #wherein tumblr advocates for the separation of fiction and real world morals #and yet I feel like I’ve seen this trend in the fallout community #it’s ok to talk about the legion without reiterating how bad they are every other word i promise

god. the amt of times ive seen fandoms for horror medias that have very explicit themes of sexual violence totally ignore it because it makes them uncomfortable to discuss their favorite Villain Guy as "The Guy That Rapes Women" in addition to "The Guy Who Kills Women With A Knife". its really bizarre. like you can acknowledge the murder but not the sexual violence? don't you think that the two might be a little linked? *shouldnt* you think the two are a little linked within this particular piece of media that actively tries to explore the way violence is used against women?

#labz.txt #im using a more generalized argument here about no media in particular but its a trend i see with this specific theme in horror #id be more specific and say like. whenever i bring up chimp dick in ihnmaims fandom people start to get really hostile #but thatd sound really bizarre out of context #poster's pox
