“it sounds like you’re justifying their actions-“ i am. they’re a fictional character. i’m okay with anything they do all the time. hope this helps.

this shit from the comments is unironically so fucking sad to me. this is where we’re at now? “aren’t books supposed to have morals?” genuinely let’s all just pack it in and go home, we tried the whole “experiencing life and art at a greater complexity level than an eight year old can handle” thing and it didn’t work out, somebody break the news to oscar wilde, we’re done here. “books are meant to teach you something.” christ.

@astromachinations I actually need this on the post

[porcupine-girl]

Here is why this has become such a problem:

All the way from 2nd to 8th grade, my son was taught in his English classes that a story's THEME is THE LESSON IT'S TEACHING YOU. Every fucking year! I would literally ask him "so how are they defining theme this year" and he'd be like "they still think it's a moral" and then he'd be treated to Yet Another Rant on this topic.

It wasn't until last year - 9th grade, not until freaking high school - that they finally stopped this bullshit. But I promise you, for many kids the damage has already been done and they probably don't even notice that the teacher is now calling things like "friendship" and "growing up" themes instead of things like "be nice to your friends" and "it's important to learn new things as you grow up."

I know this bc I have my students, who are mostly college freshmen or sophomores, make a lesson about any topic they want, and a couple years ago a girl did one on writing a story and SHE defined theme as the lesson the story is teaching.

My background is in science ed. I have NO IDEA where in literacy ed people decided this was the way to go, but it seems to be endemic now. And I think it's not just factually incorrect but downright fucking dangerous.

I headcanon that during He Xuan's time in Tonglu, after several years of being alone, the giant Xie Lian statue basically became Wilson from Castaway for him lmao

when a songs lyrics use repetition to signify growing desperation and emotion that additional words wouldnt be able to convey

I just want to distract myself from the problems in my country with my little gay ships and here comes lesbophobia in full swing 🫠

[browngurl99]

"Not everything has to be sexual or romantic 🥺 Platonic love exists 🥺 Deep friendships exists"

And the concept of people having different opinions and perspectives, also exists. The concept of ignoring something that you don't agree with, also exists. The concept of being respectful of others' opinions also exists.

dreaming is funny because ill have a dream about being cremated alive and that's not a nightmare at all to my brain but on the other hand ill have a dream where im in a normal but slightly odd room where nothing's happening and im so genuinely afraid i force myself awake while freaking out. okay. mysterious
