related to last reblog: "poetry" is so broad a category and so hard to draw hard boundaries around that you can't really call something "pseudopoetry," but boy howdy have I read some stuff that I'd love to call exactly that

[playwrongs]

To be labeled "poetry," a literary work must contain at least 30 percent rhythmic verve and 40 percent glittering insight by volume. Works that meet the minimum for rhythmic verve but fall below the threshold for glittering insight may be sold as "doggerel," "verse polemic," or "logorrhea", depending on the proportion of rhythm. Works that meet the minimum for insight but fall below the threshold for rhythm may be sold as "journalism". Works with content that does not meet either minimum may be published in prestigious literary journals.

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

posts that make you want to get in the water

[henstomper]

you say excuse me when you burp, and other people say bless you when you sneeze. but is there nothing for the humble cough? we live in a brutal world.

[henstomper]

if you cough the entire room should say "we remember that we must die" in unison

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think

[fallout-lou-begas]

why, i haven't the foggiest notion of what you're talking about

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.
