me spending days on tumblr.com saying things like ohhhh i love how elena loves nino and then when lila loves nino? unacceptable. ridiculous. annoying. get this away from me immediately.

#and the key element is that the situation itself is identical i mean getting together with that evil man under similar circumstances #it's that inexplicable moment where a little gesture or one description stabs you directly in the chest and you feel like #the pages are happening to you again #THE BODY REMEMBERS!!! it's a gut reaction.#the terrible thing here is both elena and lila think the other one is better at loving #i catch myself thinking ohh i wish i could love the way elena greco loves #meanwhile elena greco thinks she's the devil incarnate #the same goes for lila #there's something extremely devastating about that :/ like you're telling me all women #are made to believe they are lacking in something by default. no matter how different we are #that message reaches us somehow...#ferranteposting #letters from stephanie*

Do people actually truly remember sensations? Is that a thing I just don't experience? Like can people remember that something feels “soft” and that word has a true, defined meaning and isn't just a vague descriptor? I don't like bread cause it feels like wet sand in my mouth but I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT WET SAND IN MY MOUTH FEELS LIKE??? I JUST KNOW I DON'T LIKE IT.

#red rants #it's so hard to describe something you think others might have that you lack. cause. you don't know wtf it is.#anyway my memory issues might extend further than I theorized. like as I just said I can't truly remember sensations.#I rarely remember emotions and none of the ones I do remember are positive. Like if I felt these things again I would know #that's what I was feeling. but if I had to describe it I never would be able too cause all descriptions just lose their proper meaning #once the experience becomes a memory.

sorry to anyone who really loves spin of fate by aa vora but i've been struggling to get through the audiobook for an age and trying to figure out why it's such slow reading for me despite being really not that long. and at this point i think i have to get all the way through it just to do an in depth critique so my brain can rest

#two major issues have jumped out at me so far #1. a lack of memorable physical/visual description #2. narrative handholding #i feel like im being talked down to by the narration #something happens that works just fine as a demonstration of e.g. some worldbuilding element. a little show don't tell if you will #and then the narrator seems compelled to repeat the same information outright #sometimes like. immediately afterward #and i know media literacy is shit and a lot of people need things explained to them but like #it just makes me feel the emotion of what if i just read a different book that took me seriously instead #it makes the whole book feel dumbed down #i don't recall if i've said so here but the maze runner has the same problem (and MUCH worse)#you showed. why you gotta also tell

potential sonic 3 spoilers incoming if anyone cares. anyway . apparently there was an official survey about the knuckles show/scu in general and one of the questions was about what name you would use for an eggman/shadow/gerald teamup. which is a weirdly specific question. and also one of the name options was team dark …….. ?? even though rouge isnt mentioned in the question and theres no sign of her being in the next movie in general ? i was willing to accept amy being introduced a little after knuckles and tails but between there still being no sign of her being in the next movie and now this if they actually have gerald time travel or something and have him be the third member of the dark story trio instead of rouge then i will be fully convinced that theyre going out of their way to exclude as many already existing girl characters as possible. like i get cgi is expensive which could be part of the reason rouge might not have made the cut. but damn . assuming this is real anyway it could just be another fake leak but idk

#im not saying the writers hate all the girl characters (iirc they have said they like amy and rouge and shown interest in adding them)#and i also dont think the movies have to be complete copies of the games in terms of stories and characters #but some of the decisions being made here are so weird and kinda show a lack of care for those characters ..#its especially odd that iirc theyve said that part of what influences the choices on what characters to use is popularity/recognizability #both to fans of the games as well as more casual viewers #yet they might be rewriting a major part of the story just to include gerald over rouge?#and they wanted a character who was a ghost echidna that guided the living characters and they picked pachacamac #instead of tikal who both already fits that description And is more popular?#okay well i doubt casual viewers would know who tikal is but they dont know who pachacamac is either #and its also an objective fact that tikal is more popular among fans . Man .#also theres the thing of knuckles being given a connection to iblis when thats already elise (and blaze)'s thing #to be fair knuckles is way more popular and recognizable than elise. and i really doubt sonic 06 would get adapted #but still #maria IS confirmed to be in the next movie though #but idk if i would consider that to be a win for girl sonic characters #considering shes the only one known to be in it AND she dies #sonic movie spoilers #sonic movie 3 spoilers #i guess idk #also again considering the whole cgi thing i would have been willing to accept no rouge even if its disappointing #but to have gerald of all characters replace her is just so. what .... cant you just use agent stone or a new character or something #i dont hate gerald its just the idea of bringing him back to life instead of including rouge is weird .#anyway . we also dont have full context so maybe its nt as bad as it sounds. or maybe theyre hiding rouge and amy from us . IDKK #but also every new info about this movie we get has me like that one picture of a guy holding a cigarette and looking reallytired #and i hate feeling this way when i was so excited about the first 2 when they came out #sad ! well theres other sonic media

the funny thing is about that sesame street clip is I remember growing up, how '90-'00s children's shows were commonly brushed as off as being too raucous, hyper, and loud by adults around me.

and there were definitely plenty of all-action shows, but there are many others where, after watching them back now I'm older, I'm struck by how slow-paced and quiet they actually were. there's a lot of scenes with no incidental music, the voice deliveries are very quiet and almost candid, and the sound design in general is subtle. even shows that are Known for their erratic tone (e.g. IZ) knew when to pull back and let a moment be, which makes the louder moments land all the better.

and maybe this is just me being old now lmaooo but I do occasionally catch little kid stuff and go, ok now this actually is just noise. this is good for no one. breathe a little.

#I've noticed the direction for a lot of voice-acting these days (in north america and uk at least) is to strongly enunciate the lines #and personally I feel like it makes the delivery almost sluggish like?#putting too much emphasis on something rather than letting it have its moment. for lack of a better description.#it can either make a moral moment too patronising or a comedic moment less funny depending on which tone they're aiming for #its most noticeable in reboots where you can compare original scripts. the first example coming to mind is og/reignited spyro cutscenes #i'm sure 50% of that is my overfamiliarity with the og meaning that anything that doesn't match those beats feels off anyway #but also I just don't think. the style of voice-acting is as good? and it's a couple of the same people too #nothing is wrong with their ability it's what direction was given/takes were chosen. idk.

ever since those posts about people with aphantasia started going around, and I started talking with my husband about the fact that some other people apparently vividly picture the scenes they're reading in their heads while they're reading (which is ???? to me), it's been kind of fascinating for me to reread my own writing

like. it is so abundantly clear to me, reading my own writing, that I am a writer with a degree of aphantasia, because I just do not write visual descriptors 99% of the time unless they are about:

a. how various bodies in the scene are moving through space (which is necessary to write character beats)

b. eyes

and I wonder if that negatively impacts my writing for people who do read in that way?

#like all of the points where I devolve into relatively lush and focused descriptions are about some other sense #I love sound and feel and smell and even sometimes taste when I'm writing #but sight is very nearly absent. what are my characters wearing? what spaces are they occupying beyond the broad strokes of the place?#these are things that just...do not matter to me as a reader and sometimes actively work against my enjoyment #and so they are almost completely absent from my writing #I describe facial expressions sometimes because they can be important cues for emotional states #and eyes for the same reason #but I'm now acutely aware of the fact that almost any other time I detail specifically what a character is seeing I'm doing so because #said character is avoiding awareness of something more important in the scene #and I want that pointed lack of awareness to be apparent to the reader if not to the character #does that make my writing feel sparse to people without aphantasia I wonder?
