people on this website will complain about how their high school english teachers forced them to learn about how blue curtains represent depression and how that was stupid because theyāre so smart and they already know how to interpret all media perfectly. and then will act as if the cult from midsommar is some kind of feminist girlpower movement.
Hey, people can be dumb AND have terrible high school English teachers. And blue curtains representing depression IS stupid, and shallow, and I will hate that kind of analysis until I die. There are unfathomable depths of bad teaching out there. Teach kids how to analyze the important stuff in stories, and ask questions like:Ā āWhatās this cult trying to do? What do we think of their methods? What are the moral implications of their actions? How does the story frame the main characterās emotional arc?āĀ
Blue fucking curtains are all most of us get.Ā
While youāre definitely right that people can be dumb and have terrible English teachers, I actually donāt think close reading is dumb? I think close reading is one of the wild joys ofā¦.being a reader?Ā Blue curtains always representing depression is silly. But in the right story it might be true. More than that, in the right essay it might be amazing?Ā Like, I absolutely agree that learning about rhetoric, which is more what youāre talking about, is critical. But close reading can be this joyful exploration of a story!Ā I remember when I was in high school I wrote an essay about Narcissus and Goldmund that basically arguedĀ ātheyāre gay! theyāre in love! please respect my position, Mr. English Teacher,ā and I spent most of the essay close-reading the scene where Narcissus rescues Goldmund from his prison cell, and the significance of Narcissus bringing in a candle that was almost burnt out, but still illuminating the dark cell, and how the descriptive words Hesse used for the darkness and the light of the candle were like other words heād used earlier to describe bags of money, and then I connected this to an argument about how Narcissus not only illuminates truth and self-identity to Goldmund, he also metaphorically replenishes him (or something. this is an essay i wrote as a teenager :P)Ā why I remember this essay, above all the other essays I wrote in high school, is because I remember feeling absolutely GIDDY for having made those connections, for being able to craft an argument through symbolism, for feeling like the point I felt a little daring to be making could be backed up with evidence even though I thought I was probably going against the grain of Hesseās intentions in the scene. it didnāt feel like something I was making up, it felt like something Iād discovered. it felt right.Ā
and my english teacher circled the paragraph where Iād connected the candle to the money and wroteĀ āthis kind of close reading is what literary analysis is all aboutā in the margin. he used purple pen. i remember what his handwriting looked like in that margin. because it was like Iād cracked this secret code, and my english teacher understood me, we were speaking the secret language together!Ā
without context,Ā āthe candle represents love and the money represents self-worthā sounds a lot likeĀ āthe blue curtains represent depression.āĀ with context,Ā āthe candle represents loveā is basically why I became an English major.

if you experience depression, reblog with your opinion on:
plain tortilla chips eaten with nothing on them
eating cereal by the handful, straight out of the box
cold, 4-day old leftovers
peanut butter straight out of the jar
eating two slices of bread
Iā¦this postā¦everything except the leftovers is literally exactly the stuff thatās been keeping me alive all this semester
plain tortilla chips dude...low key cannot stand any of the other stuff...but plain tortilla chips???? šš¼
āKonaha School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Year Oneā a series by Chinese artistĀ č„ē¾kdl (Chubby Sheep), reposted with permission, link in source
I will also be translating at least one short comic set in this universe soon, so look forward to that! Isnāt this art amazing? I could not believe she has only a few hundred followers on Weibo!
Edit: I misreadĀ č„ as č when I initially posted this. Ooooooops! Thankfully the original artist very graciously pointed out my mistake!!! It should beĀ āFei Yangā notĀ āPang Yangā.
Orphaned Magical Son of Edit: After discussing some various pseudonym/romanization options with me over the past day, the artist has chosen to go by Chubby Sheep in English.
Yo as we enter into the final hours of the latest countdown to our collective like, doom or whatever, reminder that:
Itās gonna happen if you refresh the internet or not, so put your phone down and do something else for a while
Keep hydrated
Take your god damn pills
If you canāt sleep at least close your eyes in a dark room for a while
Eat. Anything. I personally reccomend vegan freezer burritos but as long as it puts calories into your body eat it.
Stay safe and if you go out to the streets be careful!
Today, I just want everyone to be a little grateful that we have archiveofourown.org in our lives.
