smtimes i worry the way i come off when talking ab Media and things like. story structure, themes, motifs, authorial intent etc etc etc comes across as pretentious but also the world needs more pretentious people. to be quite honest.

#when i see smthn i have a compulsive need to dissect it into what its made up of what its saying how it says it #so on so forth #i have in fact gotten ''why don't you just watch things''d many times but I AM I DO IT'S HOW I ENJOY THINGS weh #anyway revisting patho made me remember how much i LOVVEEE historical theater tropes and narratology and comedies and tragedies and oooohhh #narratology is something im deeply interested in and wish i knew more abt #gonna see if i have time to do some reading abt it soon :)#.txt #back to my main point smthn ive been thinking about is how its near impossible to #divorce any creation from its reception/reputation/creators background #music created by a rich celebrity artist will inherently be different from something created by a single poor artist on their own #and these factors color the art they make; always. the context will always play a role in the creation.#its subjective if these influences are good/bad/nuanced third thing and ultimately people will always like what they like #but to say they play no factor is untrue.#<- his ass does not believe in death of the author #rather i dont believe in how people use that word nowadays. that theory of thought itself is often true #aahhh. nuance fans be like Not Always.#anyway.#what was this post about.
