...staring at my drafts and realizing i should perhaps consider pausing on answering ask prompts to start getting caught back up on those instead bc the number is back in the 40s & i just found a starter i completely forgot about bc it got lost on the second page :x

[smallblueandloud]

we watched "war crimes" tonight and the cliff calley storyline was so heartbreaking that i thought "ooh, the only thing that would make this better would be sense8 au schenanigans" and so now i have a draft about that??

it's technically complete, but it needs severe editing for the pacing. which is interesting to me, because recently i haven't been feeling like my fics need pacing editing? whereas in the past, pacing was the MAJOR thing i had to edit. so i was excited about potentially having Figured Out Pacing!

i think the secret is that i've been writing an extremely stripped-back narration style recently. my issues with pacing have always been with pov introspection -- i tend to write too much, or put it in the wrong place. so the stripped-back style feels much better and snappier to me. it's also just plain easier, since i have fewer tools that i can use to mess with the pacing (basically just dialogue tags and physical action). it's harder to mess up.

but writing josh's pov had me instinctively go back into the introspection -- and i don't think that's bad! i prefer introspection for something like this. the stripped-back lets me imply stuff, but sometimes a character is just someone who says things outright to themself, or maybe i think it's more effective to just say something outright. so i'm happy to get the chance to cultivate the skill again, it's just interesting, being faced with how much easier i find the newer style.

also i WILL say that vacuum sealing your analysis and consumption of media off from its wider context is not a neutral thing to do — like there are genuinely valid reasons to do it but it often (intentionally or otherwise) ends up reinforcing existing systems of oppression & erasure.

this also doesn’t mean you have to be Serious and Critical all the time, but rather that it’s worth just generally being open to the fact that all media exists within the world and can’t be separated from it. you don’t have to be actively deconstructing or problematizing things or explicitly acknowledging them to be participating in them. in fact, i think it’s a huge problem that Being Aware Of Existing Systems Of Oppression is so often equated with being critical and serious. you can also be fun and silly and shallow. it doesn’t have to be a big deal. most of the time it’s not.

[facelessfractal]

I feel as though we on constantly on the cusp of some feral breakdown and just throwing ourself off the 3rd story and i cannot help but think maybe there is something that should be done about that? Like. There should be a medication or some kind of help for that kind of thing
