forgive me great sage, for I have fucked up @ongreenergrasses - Tumblr Blog

#ongreenergrasses. very eclectic blog but more than incidentally posts about thg and odesta. won’t give personal identifiers so don’t ask. if #you do you might get blocked. asks and DMs always open just be cool about it. ask turnaround is anywhere from a day to a month and I #apologize that I cannot be more specific than that but I can assure you that urgent asks get bumped up to the top. always accepting prompts #I express my appreciation of things through critique. I believe that we can always strive for better representation and that pointing out #flaws does not indicate that I a) hate something or b) find the work to be irredeemable or lacking in value. if that upsets #you this is not the blog for you. if you come into my inbox complaining about the fact that I critique things you will be blocked #header is Whispering Souls (2021) by Chris Cyprus #pfp is Lonneke Engel for Vogue Italia 1996 photographed by Bruce Weber

horror collection update. right now I think the plan is to have three short prompts and one conceptual (larger, sentence long idea) prompt per week, with three alternate short prompts and one alternate conceptual prompt. those will get posted August 1st at @thghorrorcollection, along with the updated guidelines. I will have a couple trusted people look over the list for feedback before releasing it. I've decided on this format because some of your ideas were so fantastic and unable to be distilled to a single word, but I think conveyed some really chilling elements of the franchise, so I wanted to keep these longer prompts as options.

#.txt #I recognize that the blog is the space for this but it's such a small fandom event and I have so many more followers here that these update #will simply get far more visibility posted to this blog. I will post a call for more prompt submissions on that blog to fill out a couple #remaining spots and the formal updates will come through there and be reblogged here as always #thghorrorcollection #the scary news is now I have to attack this in canva. everyone keep me in your thoughts and prayers this will take the rest of the month

I don’t think we ought to normalize or justify bullying as a means to keep people from being annoying — a sentiment that in and of itself could make for a whole article’s worth of conversation — but I do think we should make a habit of politely but directly telling people “hey I didn’t like that”, “that wasn’t funny”, “you are mistaken”, and the like if it’s called for, and more importantly, you should be able to take a “that wasn’t funny” for instance without taking it personally, because protecting a polite harmony where no one can criticize each other, not even politely, is also really, really bad.

#and unfortunately this creation of environments where polite criticism is taken as an attack is something that's rampant in almost every #space I'm in currently and uh. it's bad actually. it's bad

I saw a post about how fandom needs to understand that, while we might have different perspectives on our canons, those different perspectives are valid and we benefit from a multiplicity of perspectives and so forth.

The more I think about it, the more I’m like … hmm, no, actually.

I mean, yes, fandom benefits from a multiplicity of perspectives. Fandom perspectives don’t need to cohere 100% with each other’s to be valid and valuable and there’s a lot to gain from the overall conversation etc.

But the idea that all perspectives in fandom are valid? No. It’s a hard pill for modern fandom to swallow, but “all opinions are valid uwu” and frothing hostility are not the only possible responses to every conceivable fannish perspective. Some opinions aren’t valid. Some takes are bad and some interpretations are based on mistakes and misreading. Sometimes being at all committed to your own convictions necessitates believing that some people are wrong.

Basically, there’s a vast chasm between “not everyone with a different perspective is wrong in a fandom context” and “nobody can ever be wrong in a fandom context.”
