I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

it really sucks when a hot woman instrumentalizes you as a weapon for her own personal gain. i really hate being used as a tool like that. i hope one day she looks past my wicked and awesome power that can be used to accomplish anything she desires and appreciates me for the kind and loving soul i am underneath. and also maybe lets me hit normally, without this embarrassing uniform on.

[oblativelamb]

id even be willing to keep the uniform on if she just called me by my name

i think that shadowbringers is an objectively beautiful, impactful, well crafted piece of art that earned its praises. but i do admittedly grimace when people call it the best expansion. mostly because it attracted, at a coincidentally insanely good time to do so, a massive burst of players who laud it night and day as the Best Story ffxiv has to offer, the part where the game gets good. and i just…i guess it doesn’t matter if i agree. it’s simply dishonest. it really is. even where it falters in execution xiv is a game that has a lot of heart in it, with a story that does largely cohere and pays itself off much, much sooner than shadowbringers. i hate seeing people who claim to love this game barely engage with out outside of a single expac’s worth of story, often feeding into the community’s frankly criminal reputation of being one of those “it gets good 300 hours in” games. that’s not true! it’s not! im sorry but if you make it to heavensward and you are not invested in the game’s world and story then it’s simply not for you! shut up and go play another game. im serious
