fun fact! if you struggle hearing and assume that, because you have adhd or smth else, that its Probably just processing issues: get your hearing checked anyway. theres a chance its not processing issues and its good to actually know

[fridgevespidae]

[fridgevespidae]

been real obsessed with my own oc lately

[fridgevespidae]

IM ONTO SMTH!!!!

also to clarify i know that theres a lot of factors that play into ritsu having this spiral thats beyond envy and fear but like. wrt that aspect of this spiral he has???? the role of mobs mistakes as further Evidence or internal confirmation of ritsus own complex (wo either of them wanting this) is just. very potent esp building up to their confrontation in the alleyway or even the confession arc

(plain text for the image below:

EPIPHANY ABOUT A MOTIF (?) IN MP100

like mob accidentally bending his spoons while hes just at the dinner table is an obv recurring visual and its what like... spurs ritsu further into a destructive spiral of envying his brother

but also. hes not just using that as fuel for his fear. or fuel for his envy NO!!! HES VERY SPECIFICALLY MAKING MOBS LIFE REVOLVE AROUND HIS MISTAKES. ritsu doesnt see them AS mistakes, simply as a fact of mobs existence, when its not smth mob even wants. putting mob on a pedestal made of his flaws)

just read a fic so long and so bad. terrible experience. i hoped it would say something meaningful about the distressing subject matter. NO! ooc bullshit for no purpose or meaningful story. sad

[fridgevespidae]

cant stop thinking about this. imcredibly long and technically well written absolutely dogshit fic. devastating because the prose was good enough that its sticking with me and making me feel the intended emotion i guess but im mad about it bc the fic sucked shit

[fridgevespidae]

look i dont make fun of things on my blog and im not even gonna insinuate anything that would reveal the fic im talking about (bc its wildly unlikely anyone related or whod even figure out what im talking abt would find my blog but i dont wanna risk it bc like. i wanna express my opinion in my space but i dont wanna actually put down anyone involved in its construction or who likes it) but i think if any fic would make me mad enough after reading i that i need to complain on my tumblr blog i think this earned it. i just need to complain for a minute bc holy shit

i see a lot of like... media comprehension advice on here and like. at surface level i guess i agree and i knowwwws what people are going for. but everytime people get their hands on One concept they veer super hard into that piece of advice and decide anything potentially contradictory is Wrong. so like, ill see a post that has a generally good point but ill have already seen 200 people take that notion to the absolute extreme and then get really self righteous about it so i cant help but get annoyed at the point i literally agree with

rn the thing i keep ruminating on (and its prob related to my ocd since people treat disagreeing about this as a Failing, but i digress) is the way people treat the idea of characters as narrative devices. and its very important that people understand that at their core characters are narrative devices! so when people say characters arent real im like yeah this is true. and people DO use that to deflect real conversations about that character and the themes theyre used to examine and other related things

but then ill see people claim that treating characters like people at all is wholly incorrect and its like. well thats... not necessarily true. yeah, some art is gonna have characters youre MEANT to look at as parts of a story and not really as a Person! but in some stories, approaching the story from the lens of envisioning the characters as if they were real IS part of the point. many stories will encourage the audience to do this and not just "poorly written" stories. in fact, many stories use this concept to build their themes, not just their world and plot!!

i dont think its necessarily wrong, then, to have a healthy outlook about yeah, characters arent always going to be written exactly how people would act and thats important to understanding different narratives, but some stories are expecting the audience to in order to make concepts stick better! not even counting that people just sometimes like to see stories who have realistically written characters for pure entertainment value, which in itself can be misused by writers in lieu of saying meaningful things with said characters, but also a story can have a deliberate appeal to entertainment without it inherently being because the writers didnt care about themes or the message they were conveying

(id even argue that its important for a writer to deliberately create an intended emotion in the audience and making a story entertaining, scary, upsetting, etc are all different means of creating that atmosphere that can build into how the audience is supposed to interpret the story itself! a story being entertaining CAN also be important!)

really, i think the issue is that these are good pieces of advice that i see, but sometimes its treated like every narrative is meant to be approached through One Method with Specific Steps and a story that doesnt use these steps must have less literary value. which is just silly really because a very fundamental part of literary analysis is understanding that there are many ways to approach even ONE story, let alone many different ones. these pieces of advice are important, but theres a vital component missing when they get reiterated over and over again, and thats often that these "rules" arent as universal and strict as they get treated. which makes me feel confused when people start getting mean about them. i think thats what bothers me most is that people start getting genuinely mean about it and its all i can think about when i hear advice i do genuinely agree with, but not as an overarching substitute for examining a story YOURSELF and feeling how You feel about it from your OWN lens. other perspectives are good but trying to find some one size fits all attitude to understanding stories just isnt helpful imo

falls to the ground bc ppl arent making mp100 crossover fics almost at all

[fridgevespidae]
