big shoutout to the gas station near my house which is running a deal on energy drinks and thought the best way to express this on their large LED sign was to make it read BANG MONSTER 2/$5

[nyadversary]

update: you'll be pleased to know that they rethought their sign and have changed it to read MONSTER BANG 2/$5

I won't ever tell anyone how they're allowed to feel about their disabilities, but the attitude behind eugenics where people think being disabled is an endless suffer-fest of perpetual agony is part of the reason that the next person who treats my disabilities like tragedies in front of me is going to end up in the hospital.

Like I recall back when my disabilities got bad enough I had bought my first mobility aid, a rollator, and I went out with friends after to a family thing, and one of their parents just...god. He just would not stop asking me questions about my health and then going "wow that's such a shame, just a real tragedy, it sucks so much that this has happened you must be miserable" and I knew at that moment I was never ever going to let myself think of my disabilities like that because I have never felt so dehumanized in my life. Same guy made fun of me in a room full of people a few days later so bad it made me cry so that was really fun. My pride in my disability was forged in the fires of my rage at people for treating me like that.

A tragedy? Buddy the tragedy is what's about to happen to your fucking kneecaps if you talk about me like that ever again. I get to go all the same places you do but sitting down, bitch, you WISH you were me. My wheelchair is red and I plan to one day run a marathon in it. In which I will be faster than the human runners because again, I'm better than you. Asshole.

[lastoneout]

I also just want to drive home, I was SO happy to have my rollator. I was STOKED that I could go to this event and not have to worry about hurting myself or having to leave early. I loved it, it was red and it was FREEDOM and I wanted to brag about it, and yet the first fucking thing that happened to me when I got there was being surrounded by a group of abled adults while no one even tried to push back on the one guy who would not shut the fuck up about sad my LIFE was.

I am so fucking pushy about how much I love my wheelchair because it makes me so happy and it really actually hurts to know that barely anyone who sees me in it sees it for the gift it is. For how proud and happy I am in it.

My disabilities actually make me happy sometimes. I don't get why that's so hard for some people to understand.

[lastoneout]

Honestly if there's ONE thing I could suggest abled people do when they meet someone who just got their mobility aid, don't assume they want condolences. If they seem happy let them be happy and brag and if they seem neutral just don't talk about it unless they do and match tone.

Nothing is universal ofc, but 99% of the disabled people I know LOVE showing off new mobility aids, my mom and I spent like an hour gushing over her new power chair, and I love my wheelchair, I literally feel like it's part of my body, and I love the rest of my body. Why would my chair be any different <3

i NEED people to realise foreshadowing is. in fact. a literary device. and not a Bad Thing. the audience picking up on your hints is a Good Thing. because. it makes the story and it’s conclusion make sense. and some people will not see those but enjoy seeing them on a second read through. red herrings are one thing but if your novel consists of nothing but red herrings it’s not a coherent story it’s just a collection of paragraphs that don’t actually plausibly link to one another. you're not fighting with the audience you don’t look clever you look like you don’t know how basic fiction works. be vulnerable for once in your goddamn life and don't treat writing like a game to be won where the audience losing is a good thing.

[ineffectualdemon]

Getting to the end of a story and going "THE CLUES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!" is always joyous for me whether or not I picked up on the clues leading up

If I saw the clues and caught the hints then yes! I am clever and me and the author/creator/artist etc were in on it together the whole time!

If I didn't notice the clues or got fooled but can clearly see them in hindsight then "Ha! You won this time storyteller! I am delighted by this game we play!' and then I enjoy putting the pieces together afterwards and enjoying how clever it was. I feel like the creator respects me as an audience

If there is a "twist" that comes with 0 clues or foreshadowing at all I'm annoyed. I'm pissed off. I feel like I'm being condescended to and patronised. It's not clever or interesting and makes me annoyed I ended up caring about characters and plot points that ended up meaningless.

Because it's not that these stories don't have foreshadowing or plot clues. They just abandon it for a "surprising twist"

A story that pays off the clues is letting me into the fun and makes a participant in the story

A story that just gives me a "shock" but no pay off is telling me not to engage or get attached or care. So why would I watch?

[s-n-arly]

OMG! THIS!

Random plot twists that don't connect to anything in the story are not clever. If we don't see it coming because the writer didn't provide any clues, they aren't clever and it's totally unsatisfying (and I will NEVER read this writer again). These clues need not be lit up in neon with a parade of elephants and showgirls. But they need to be present

I'm a writer and am rarely surprised. Often, if I am surprised it's because the writer was a dumbass and included a "twist" that makes no sense (and therefore isn't really a twist, it's just random bullshit). If a writer genuinely surprises me, without being an absolute dumbass, I am FUCKING DELIGHTED! I will tell everyone I know to read the book/see the movie/watch the show.

[ardentmystacina]

Foreshadowing is the reward for paying attention. It's the story letting you in on the secret like a co-conspirator because you're the clever little audience member who has been picking up on the clues the writer has been setting up.

It even makes watching/reading again more worthwhile because if you didn't notice the foreshadowing the first time you have the joy of being able to notice the things you missed!

Time to bring up the creator of Babylon 5, and sometime writer on Murder She Wrote, responding to people saying "We already figured this out", once again. Paraphrasing with a bit of quoting;

If no one figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.

If everyone figures it out, you're doing your job wrong.

Of COURSE some people figure it out, they're paying attention.

If you're doing your job right, and laying out the clues, a certain number of people HAVE to figure it out.

"The best case scenario is a bell-shaped curve. Some don't have a clue what's coming, some manage to figure it out, and the majority have a kind of vague sense where it's going, but there are still surprises along the way. If the bell-curve shifts one direction or the other, then you're in trouble."

[ID: A comic featuring Sokka, Katara, and Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender.

“Hm…It looks like updog in here,” Sokka says, with his hands on his hips. In the background, an exasperated Katara rolls her eyes with crossed arms. A caption pointing to her says she has heard this a thousand times.

“What’s Updog?” A confused Zuko asks.

Sokka turns around, extremely excited and grinning.

The bonus panel includes a happy chibi Zuko, smiling and blushing. “I’m good, thanks for asking,” he says.

Sokka bends over, dejected that the joke went over Zuko’s head. /End ID.]
