if you've ever wondered why there are so many light novels and anime where either the main character or love interest is the "villainess" from an Otome game and said Otome game has basically the same set-up every time, it's because the originator of the Otome game genre is this game called Angelique and in Angelique the player character has a female rival named Rosalia de Cartegena and fans of the game liked Rosalia so much that it became extremely common to write Angelique fanfiction where Rosalia gets some kind of happy ending but then one day one of the biggest fanfiction archives in Japan decided they only wanted to host original fiction from now on so a lot of fanfiction writers started writing what is basically fanfic with the serial numbers filed off where a self insert character gets magically transported to or reincarnated in a copyright safe version of their favorite video game and the Rosalia fans did this so much it essentially sprung out into its own genre which now gets like one anime per season minimum.

this is also why so much isekai is Like That. some of it is fanfiction and the rest of it is emulating fanfiction.

#THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH #I always wondered why it felt like everyone was expected to know the 'canon' universe #in the same way that someone writing a fanfic au expects that (via sauntervaguelydown)

big fan of when you peel back all layers of a character and at the bottom of it there's love

hiveswap

why are they doing this? because they loved someone so much it caused the plot to happen. Grief counts btw

ESPECIALLY a big fan of when this isn't enough to make them a good person

being raised as a straight guy and then transitioning to a lesbian woman has given me a morbid fascination with certain flavors of romance media that are mainly targeted to straight women both because this type of content is something I never engaged with until very recently and because the genre expectations feel patently insane from the outside looking in. a lot of the male main characters in m/f romance, specifically romance novels, Wattpad fic, and Webtoons, are just straight up abusers. they're controlling, manipulative, violent, and sexually assault the female lead in many cases. "Dark Romance" is a massive trend on TikTok and the whole conceit of that genre is women falling in love with stalkers, bullies, serial killers, and on at least one occasion their own family members. If you already engage with this type of media none of this is surprising to you but for me it was genuinely crazymaking. people talk so much about the accessibility of internet porn damaging young men but the average dude's porn tastes consist of mostly straightforward sucking and fucking with perhaps a little choking here and there. meanwhile the booktok girlies are reading shit that makes the average Brazzers scene look like a convent. I grew up being told that Twilight is a negative influence on young girls because Edward Cullen stalks Bella in the first book. Edward Cullen is TAME by the standards of m/f romance. Edward Cullen is the blunt end of a stick that the average romance reader will beg and plead for the sharp end of. learning about trends in m/f romance makes me feel like I'm hearing my coworker complain about her lazy good-for-nothing husband who won't change a diaper or cook dinner and when I suggest she divorce him she acts like I'M the crazy one in this situation. Like I'm into BDSM so psychologically I can understand the appeal of this stuff but even WITH that knowledge it's shocking like what are we doing to our beautiful queens????

lord of the rings really was lightning in a bottle. it shouldn’t have worked but by god it did. peter jackson, who had no filmmaking education and was mostly known for making low budget splatter movies, had no business going out and changing the movie industry like that but he did. return of the king showed up at the oscars and became one of the most awarded movies of all time. to this day it holds the record for the highest clean sweep. hollywood will keep trying to recreate that magic with bigger budgets and high profile actors and they will keep failing. i look at the state of these blockbusters where everything is smoothed over by soulless cgi and actors are acting opposite tennis balls and they will never hold a candle to the pure heart and soul and craft of the lord of the rings. every single person involved in that project loved being part of it and it fucking shows. i’m so thankful the stars aligned the way they did for these movies to happen like that.
