”this file type is not supported” umm grow up?

I understand staunchly anti-spoiler people, I do, but I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been inspired to read/watch something from hearing a spoiler

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

something I’ve noticed in fandoms lately is a lack of… object permanence? perspective? Just reacting to each episode/chapter of something as if it’s final & whatever plot line they dislike is the status quo forever? like…… have a tiny bit of patience

I kinda understand because a lot of franchises lately have ended in shoddy and poorly thought out ways, but tbh either have some faith in your fav show or just write fanfic

I’m not even an anti-internet person like I love the internet, I just get so frustrated with the passive way people have become accustomed to using it now. not actively seeking things out or engaging with communities, just turning their brain off & letting the algorithm feed them whatever it wants. & I can’t help but feel like that’s partially to blame for the current state of things (anti-“woke” backlash is easier to digest if you turn your brain off when online)

[bevsi]

more and more I’m seeing the sentiment “why would you write about (fictional character) in pain and at their lowest point???” and it shows such a fundamental misunderstanding of fiction, like as a concept

someone asked if they could put my characters into character AI & I had to resist the urge to tell them i would self immolate and then haunt them

“spotify stops tracking today so we can listen to cringe!!” free yourself from this mental prison at once
