I'm literally in love with this man.

[saintshigaraki]

honestly what is the point of x reader content if not to indulge like. make that character so obsessed with you that they can hardly think without you around. what is the point of ANY of this if not to write and read what you want and to take joy in it

the thing is, also... every discussion about Whether The MCU Is Garbage or Is Disney Irredeemably Evil or Has Star Wars Gone On Too Long or Why Does It Feel Like There's Been Just Three Shows On American TV For The Past 3 Decades inevitably ends up at "hey but don't shame people for wanting to have fun and escape the continuous nightmare of late capitalism for 2 hours a night" and like. fair. being effortlessly entertained is a valid desire that deserves to be fulfilled. but the thing is. and I really don't wanna be That Guy but. if you're coming back home from your soul-crushing corporate job into your alienated nuclear household, tired from a busy day of doing some bullshit to make a living, and you feel dead inside, and your idea of escape is to tune into the next installment of something that's not really cinema as much as like, a long serialised commercial for the fast fashion items with the popular character of the month, then I'm sorry bro but you're not really going anywhere. you're not escaping, you're sinking deeper in. and look. it's your god given right to watch schlocky TV and then go read fanfic about it. but if you're wondering why all this dazzling entertainment still leaves you feeling so empty you just wanna scream and scream and scream, then you might actually have an acute case of going too long without consuming any media that has an intent beyond draining your money and time and a formula beyond regurgitating what sold best last year

People have argued this subject for as long as media has existed at all, and for most of my life I absolutely felt that it was just pretentious of people to complain about movies getting dumbed down or soulless...but they still had a point and it really has gone far enough in the last few years that there’s no denying it anymore, you can see how fast Disney is churning things out, how much they’ve streamlined it down to a reusable formula, how careful they are to appeal to as many demographics as possible and how they have all the merchandising ready to go from day one. So yes, every loud-mouthed movie critic was right, Hollywood mainstream cinema has steadily deteriorated into a mind-numbing cash grab and there’s finally little room to deny it or argue that it’s harmless, because it also means a whole lot of people overworked, underpaid, under-credited and artistically stifled at every level of production.

OP may sound harsh and all but they’re still quite clearly stating that there’s a problem with overly commercialized megaconglomerate filmmaking and they even explain that it’s fine to like whatever you want if you really like whatever. And yet the notes are still full of passionately angry responses like they actually just said to stop having fun or actually said anything passing any kind of judgment on any fandom. People really don’t take time to process the meaning of posts before getting riled up about them. If it HURTS just to see someone say “I wish these pieces of fiction were made with more loving care” your investment in that fiction might be going too far.

when we told all the harry potter people to read a different book they all just went and watched marvel movies I think

You know what I miss the person I was when I watched voltron. She was a dumbass but at least she was happy

[fair-but-wilde-child-deactivate]

For anyone who is unclear on the matter or needs to hear this: fictional characters, while awesome, are literally not real. They do not exist and therefore are not worth sending death threats and suicide bait to real people over. There are 0 exceptions to this rule.

If you're ever asking an autistic person to do something, be sure to explain why you want them to do it.

When I was a kid, I always kept the windows open when it rained. I saw no reason to close them even though my mom kept asking me to. She never gave a reason, so I never listened. She'd say it let the rain in and I'd think "no shit" and continue to keep them open. Eventually, she explained that it could cause mold. That made sense to me, so I started closing the windows. Simple as that.

When we first got cats, they kept jumping onto the counters. Once again, I saw no issue with this. My mom kept chasing them down and I couldn't figure out why. She'd get annoyed whenever I let them stay up there. Once she told me that it was unsanitary, I thought that made sense so I stopped letting them stay on the counter.

To an outsider (and probably to my mom at the time) it may have seemed like I didn't understand the instructions or was being intentionally difficult. But I can't just follow an order without a reason. I must decide for myself if the order makes sense before I follow it, and I need the logic behind it to do that.

So if you're asking an autistic person to do something, explain why it needs to be done. It's very hard for a lot of us to override that part of our brains.

Writing things that are self-indulgent is *GOOD* for you. Write self-indulgent stories. Writing stories that are huge and complex and world-shattering is amazing and very fun, but sometimes you just gotta sit there and bang out a trope-riddled mess where you get to kiss a character you find hot. 

[caffeinewitchcraft]

You’d actually be surprised by how many people want to read your self indulgent writing. I know I was!

[okay]

I hope one day you wake up not bearing that heavy feeling anymore.
