the style of writing is not the problem, not the genre, not the subject matter, not even the words themselves. the SINGLE defining issue with the “Tumblr Prose” style i was trying to tackle is that it’s front loaded with imagery and metaphor and completely lacking in sense, reason, symmetry, motion, conveying information. i agree that plenty of writing can sound good and feel good to read when it’s all metaphor and visceral images but it needs to have a baseline that can carry it through or else the tail wags the dog and it’s all cool “quotable” lines and no substance, nothing to read between the lines, no character

okay but i'm still thinking about the elaborate lore lumon has concocted specifically just for innies. the anthem to kier. the kier chronicles, a publication consisting of entirely doctored photos and fake news. the origin myths about kier making scientific discoveries and exploring the world. even ricken's book, which, after it was discovered by the board, will be abridged into an innie-suitable version.

it goes so far beyond the necessary employee manuals and training material as to be baffling because, like, what's the point? why create culture, literature, and practices bordering on religiosity that will never leave the severed floor? how does this even pertain to their work or their ability to do said work?

but then you remember that innies must take basically any information they receive for granted. the company can tell them they are heroes outside the office. the company can tell them the tallest waterfall in the world is 50 feet. the company can make you work with your outie's seemingly deceased wife for years. and innies have no way to refute these "facts" or "realities." the company saw an opportunity to construct a whole new world for their workers--workers who literally have no choice but to return to work or disappear from existence--and took it. kier is not just a ceo but their god. nothing can be more awe-inspiring than kier. not literature, not nature, not even the mysterious work they do. it's sociopolitical, scientific, and cultural enslavement

More Follie as I play around with her protoframe design a bit. Obviously she's an artist and I'm already cooking up her heartbreaking protoframe backstory.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

[lyricwritesprose]

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.
