Aborted Descartes voice: I would've thought...if I was.
“this character did not act in the most objectively logical way possible!” is not ! actually valid literary criticism
i have trust that the media literacy enjoyers will find this one idk
the fanfiction inside my head should be considered lost media
the red herring
This phrase has already entered my vocabulary re: media criticism where like. The viewer has a concrete view of what they expect a story to be based on the tropes and cliches they're used to seeing together, and when that doesn't happen, they judge it as a failed depiction of what they assumed it was going to be instead of judging it as what it actually is.
"This show is problematic because the hero didn't kill the villain at the end": When does he steal the bread?
"These two characters who were close friends throughout the series don't kiss at the end! What the fuck?": When does he steal the bread?
"This feels like it's missing a conclusion! Like, the protagonist does bad stuff and because of a critical decision he makes as a result of his major character flaws, meets tragedy in the end! Where's the part where he learns better and brings is love back from the dead and becomes a good guy and gets a happy ending?": When does he steal the fucking bread??
I heard this out as "When criticizing something, you must judge it for what it is, not what it isn't"
#this is why so many of us urge people to get a wider diet of stories
it is unfortunate that there's no reason for most people to remember high school chemistry because the best analogy I have found for "the amount of energy that it takes me to initiate a task, which can be higher than the amount of energy it takes to actually complete the task" is "activation energy" and it's not precisely perfect but
yeah. and you can even include "thing that reduces the barrier to doing the task" as a catalyst/enzyme
anyway. unfortunately this does not actually clarify anything for the average person. but #ToMe it works
Their poorly defined terms, confused principles, and sloppy thinking vs. our come on, don't be obtuse, you know perfectly well what I mean
In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere.

Endgame(?)
Wanted to draw what we know so far about each of the character’s roles in this battle. :) My hand hurts ahaha.
I just… I’ve been avoiding Homestuck with all my might for months, b-but I kept seeing it everywhere, and …I gave up, I read this thing.
I am so confused about everything, I’m not sure if i know what is even going on in that story… but it’s all sort of hilarious. I like it.
whyyy
thinking about character specific speech bubbles
