what if i spent years pouring my existence on a novel so someone would read them and survive. what if i decided that someone's life meant so much more than the world itself. what if i burnt down the whole world so that someone would find a home in the wrecks. what if I was made of love and the most indomitable human spirit to save someone and to be a vessel for their vicarious catharsis. what if I traverse through the emptiness of the cosmos for the slim chance of finding someone. what if I tried to understand someone to the point our souls and egos merge into one. what if I risked my own happiness and divided myself into fragments to be the god of the new world to provide my companions with safety amidst the chaos

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

I don’t like this trend in media where struggling characters “have” to die. why aren’t addicts and outcasts allowed to have happy or hopeful endings anymore. I know things are bleak and people die but holy shit. the one grace of media is that you can CHOOSE to live in the best reality possible where EVERYONE can move on with their life and things can get better, not this defeatist nonsense.

the aroace read of ryland grace is so personal and haunting. "you don't even have a dog." was it not enough to love the world for the sake of living in it. was it not enough to live for the thrill of discovery. was it not enough to smile at your students. was it not enough to be afraid.

i <3 unresolved sexual tension especially if at least one person is borderline suicidal about it

I am so so so so grateful that Kpop demon hunters was not only good but fiercely genuine in every aspect of it. In a world of self-deprecating Disney movies and cinema sins dings I am so happy that what is considered a kind of cringe hobby in America got a movie about how loving music and the people who make it can save the world.

Maybe we should've gatekept orv

the great thing about every bad adaptation that orv gets (and i dont think it is possible to do a good orv adaptation mind you but i would love for them to try indefinitely) is that you can look at it and say 'god kim dokja would love this bullshit'

WHY IS HE HOLDING HIS NECTIE WHERE IS THE CHOKING!?!?!

They got their dynamic so wrong because Yoo Joonghyuk would never miss and opportunity to throttle Kim Dokja smh they just don't get it!

Why are you pulling his necktie? To give him a passionate kiss? Lame crush his windpipe the way our biblically accurate sunfish would have done!!

an artist is a director of audience reaction, not its dictator. if you know your craft well, you can make most of your cues hit, but in the end, interpretation of art is up to the viewer. you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying to make them react. a good artist knows that this is what allows works to breathe. by definition, you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table. you do have to respect both the generative and interpretive ends of the process if you want your art to mean anything.

this is why you have to let go of the urge to plainly state in-text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted. that desire for control conveys disrespect for audience. if you have developed your storytelling skills well enough, the audience will understand what you are trying to communicate without needing you to intercede as authorial voice. sure, some won't get it, but it's better to be misinterpreted sometimes than to talk down to your audience. you won't even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do. just find a way to communicate your ideas and hope that it comes across well to your audience at some point
