“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

— Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

one thing i really like about a series of unfortunate events is how few concrete facts there are as the series progresses

the best example of this is when the kids learn that their parents killed olaf's parents - they don't have any context as to why, what the situation was, really any details other than that. they have to make their minds up about it based on very little evidence, and that's realistic, you know. you're never going to have the full story, because the full story would take an age to recount. sure, you could learn why the baudelaire parents killed olaf's parents, but there will be other stories and reasons and factors behind that, and more behind them, on and on until every story is the entire story of the universe. you have to work with the information you have and hope that you're right.

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.

Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.

also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old

everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

That’s the best way I’ve heard it described yet.

Why did “be critical of your media” turn into “find all its flaws and hate it” why did people become allergic to FUN

sayitwithsarcophilus

Because people confuse “critical as in critical thinking” with “critical as in criticizing something,” so they think that “look for something bad, no matter how far-fetched” is what “being critical” means.

They also don’t realize that “literary criticism” means…

Okay. What literary criticism IS, is like taking a mechanical clock apart to see all the gears and learn how it fits together and approach your next clock with more knowledge of what makes it tick.

What they THINK literary criticism means is, you take the clock apart and beat all the pieces with a hammer, then scream at it because it doesn’t tick for you the way it used to.

OMG SOMEBODY PUT IT IN WORDS

beggars-opera

It’s all well and good to use “be critical of what you consume” to mean “don’t follow things blindly and acknowledge their flaws” but this mindset fails to take into account that everything has flaws. An unproblematic fave is just a fave you haven’t looked at from all angles yet. If you go through life like this hoping to find something morally pure to consume you’re just going to be miserable.

No one:

Eastern European character in movies: Hello I am generic Eastern European Character. My name is probably Ivan or Dima, because the writers only know like 2 Russian names and can’t be bothered to research further. I have absolutely no redeeming personality traits and my entire character revolves around being evil. I might have hinted that I am actually from one of the countries that is not Russia, but everyone and their mom will tell others that I am Russian. I also work in organised crime, because there’s no way a Eastern European can do any other job besides that one.

always rely on a good dostoevsky book to darken up your mood and render the 19th century tired nihilist look

i love the term “found family” because it can mean anything from “over the course of our epic adventure we gradually came to realize that we had found the loving home and family we were all searching for in each other” to “i woke up in the same dumpster as this troop of idiots who immediately forcibly inserted themselves into my life despite my loud and repeated objections and increased the amount of problems in it by 200% and it hasn’t even been a week but i’m already prepared to die for every single one of them without a moment’s hesitation”
