#biting my tongue about things like dramatic structure and the role of the clown in shakespeare and the bucktommy daddy kink joke #it doesn't tonally wreck the episode to have a brief moment of comedy in an otherwise nonstop suckerpunch ep #we have a few moments of levity and then we have one moment of comedy and that's all structurally sound #like we see levity with the mara-at-the-hans reveal and we see it in the grant-nash photo reunion #we have moments of joy throughout the ep #and the bucktommy scene is both setting up the gerrard reveal and thus is structurally integral for the ep #and also provides a moment of not just levity but COMEDY #(and also it's hot as fuck)#but seriously for as long as we have had tragedy we have had moments of comedy to allow the breath #it allows the tragedy to strike it gives ROOM for catharsis and for horror #because it cuts through the onslaught of suffering #and yeah it's a tv episode not a three hour epic play #but still #to imply it tonally detroyed the episode i think is like. just not accurate?#and you're totally allowed to just. not vibe with tommy or bucktommy or daddy kink or whatever #but to see people try and argue that it's bad writing #when it's fitting into the style of writing that defines the western canon?#anyway. this is the last i'm gonna say because i refuse to house negativity on mine own blog so i'm gonna take my honours degree in #Analyzing Storytelling and go

I was walking back to my dorm and I saw a group of students carefully following this cat and taking photos of it in an almost paparazzi way, and the cat just looked so exasperated? Like, yes you can take a picture but just this once I have places to be and things to do.

I wish I had taken a photo, it looked just like something out of a comedy still.

I'm sorry, Mari, I know you don't want to talk about it anymore, but why is it so problematic to repost other photos? I feel like one of the biggest reasons people do it is because they don't know why. I understand that you can't publish images of chapters that have to be paid for like webtoon or merch (although I don't know why either) but wmmap has already ended years ago so I don't understand what the problem would be.

Yeah, it's as you've said, firstly, because most of it is paid content. That's why you'll see that manhwa accounts on Twitter almost always post proof of them having purchased the chapters. Secondly, because this fandom has a huge reposting problem in general (art, fics, translations, edits, etc). For "regular" pictures I have less of an issue, but if it's "exclusive" content, I feel like I'm already edging the line of what is respectful to publish/leak. Yes, there are hundreds of illegal uploads of the manhwa, but that's not something I wanna promote. I wanna encourage people to support the author. Spoon has also spoken about this a bunch of times. But I guess some people might disagree with my stance.

Let me put it like this. When I stay up until 5am to watch a Chinese stream and get news about the donghua, and people immediately repost the pictures without keeping my @, it's tiring. When I spend my own money to attent Spoon's art class (at 3am), take notes, work with Japanese and Chinese fans/friends to provide English fans a translation and summary, and people immediately repost it without asking, it makes me wonder why I even bother. The last thing I want is to sound all "oh, woe is me" though, that's why I haven't spoken about this many times (I believe this is the second time in 4 years I bring it up).

For pictures that have translated content (such as what Lithi does), I think it's way worse, because you are basically "stealing" their labor without any credit. Fan translators already operate in a grey area, legally speaking. There has been a lot of drama in the fandom around this subject, and in general, translators hate to see their work reposted. Most of them have deleted their translations because of this (Ever wonder why you can't find fan TLs of the novel very easily anymore? Lithi has also deleted a bunch of her novel posts and I don't blame her). Sure, reposting a single picture/page might not be big deal, but this has happened a million times.

And then there are instances when people straight up copy posts word for word, pic for pic, which is just kinda annoying/comes across as clout-chasing. Not reposting other people's posts is kind of online etiquette.

#did you know i was who broke the news about the donghua 2 years ago to the western side of the fandom? (humble brag) /j #idk but its my own policy to never repost anyone else's content no matter what it is #i always try to go to the source of the picture if its publicly available or pay for it if its not #and if its something like a photo op took i always ask them for permission beforehand and include their name in the post #also re: the paid content point. There's a single Athy picture I've never posted anywhere and I know nobody else has either #cuz it was given to the people who attended Spoon's class under the promise to not publish it #would we Actually get in trouble if we did? probably not. but its the respectful thing to do. the JP fandom has this etiquette too #also i'll say it it bothers me much more when people do it to lithi than me. i wouldn't be here if lithi hadn't taugh me how to use Ridi #anyways not talking about this ever again! i want my blog to be fun. if people have questions my dms are always open
