Truly, I have never felt older than coming back to Tumblr mobile and needing to figure out how it works all over again Jesus

i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

To be fair, changing your mind about where a story’s going based on reader predictions isn’t always bad. Sure, it’s not great if you’re all “oh, no, they figured it out, now I have to change everything because my readers aren’t allowed to be cleverer than me” – but on the other hand, sometimes a reader will be like “okay, here’s the dumbest possible way I can imagine this playing out”, and then their dumbest possible prediction is exactly what you’re planning, and you realise that yeah, now that you’ve seen it laid out by someone who isn’t the voice in your head, that’s actually super dumb.

[prokopetz]

Other variations that don’t just boil down to deliberately frustrating reader expectations include:

Changing the outcome because a reader was like “I really hope this doesn’t happen”, and on consideration you realise that you also hope that doesn’t happen  

Changing the outcome because a reader was thinking further ahead than you are and spotted an implication of a forthcoming plot point that you don’t like the smell of  

Changing the outcome because a reader’s prediction drew your attention to the fact that your planned resolution would have stumbled dick-first into a massive plot hole  

Changing the outcome because a reader picked up on a bunch of blatant foreshadowing and symbolism you didn’t notice you’d put there because your subconscious forgot to send a memo  

Changing the outcome because a reader proposed such an elegant solution to a legitimately thorny narrative problem that it would feel petty not to let them be right  

Changing the outcome because a reader was like “hey, you know what would be really fucked up?” and the bastard gremlin that lives in your brain started smirking like the fucking Grinch

I am so untrusting of minors on discord as well as feeling bad for them and I think both feelings can coexist

[hidingoutbackstage]

I have been in public discord communities where the majority of fans are minors and honestly the behavior they exhibit is both inappropriate and shows a lack of caution

There have been kids I've seen who immediately post pictures of their face in photo-sharing channels, but it gets worse than that. They've posted baby pictures, pictures of them with friends and family members (mentioning those people by name as well) pictures at locations with captions relating that location to where they live ("me at the park by my house!") pictures of them at school.

If you are on semi-decent terms with these kids, and you ask, they'll often tell you what state they live in. Plenty of kids outside the U.S. will straight up tell you what country they live in as if to brag. If you ask someone what time it is for them out of concern that they're staying up to late, they'll tell you what time zone they live in and often end up talking about sleep schedule, home life, etc.

Kids will turn on their cameras in a public vc if someone else has theirs on too. Kids will feel embarrassed that they're on mute in a vc and always explain it with "my mic isn't working," never, "I'm not comfortable sharing my voice"

They'll share personal information like interpersonal relationships those in the server aren't a part of. They'll link their other social medias, even private ones. They'll introduce themselves in introduction channel with real name, age, and often their neurodivergency or even their triggers. And if you have a vent channel, they'll use it like a substitute therapist.

If you're a minor in a public Discord server, I get that you want to make friends, I really do. But you have GOT to be so careful in these situations. You CANNOT trust people, no matter how nice they are to you. You should ALWAYS exercise caution when operating and being part of a discord server. Please, this is not me being a wet blanket, this is me trying to help you be safe.

(P.S. Imo, minors should never be mods if 18+ people who know what they're doing are on the server)

One of my students turned in a paper arguing that Hamlet and Macbeth both view death as a solution to their problems and the only difference is that Hamlet wants to kill himself and Macbeth would rather kill everybody else and I honestly treasure this insight.

basically if disney tanked tomorrow and never made any content again i would point and laugh and cheer and sing and roast a marshed mallow over the fire, oh what a beautiful sight, oh what a beautiful world where art could be art again

[quasi-normalcy]

To anyone who thinks "oh, but I like Marvel/Star Wars/the animated canon," I have good news! Lots of other people like these things too! In fact, so many people like these things that, if Disney folded, someone else would snap the licences right up! In fact, I can confidently say that if all copyrights were cancelled tomorrow, you would have *way more* Star Wars movies, and they would be allowed to take actual chances in terms of their narrative and character decisions! You don't actually *need* an enormous multinational monopoly named after a long-dead founder to bring you content featuring characters and scenarios created by other, often long-dead, people! You don't *need* someone charging you rent for something that would otherwise be free! In fact, you need that like you need a hole in the head!

I am incredibly infuriated by people obsessed with the healing notion of forgiving for forgiving's sake. 'don't do it for them, do it for yourself!' what do you even mean! letting go, moving on, all that, yes, perhaps. but forgiveness and this obsession to always forgive no matter what is just ridiculous and I cannot understand it, this nonsensical drive to 'be the bigger person', what a sign of lack of any self-respect if anything

there are things and people that should not be forgiven, never and at all, and often this is precisely what you should do not for their sake but precisely for yourself
