its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world
would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him
Thinking a lot already about Hozier saying âI wanna run against a world thatâs turningâ in De Selby II and already feeling just absolutely sick to my stomach I keep saying he canât keep getting away with this but at this point lord I worry I want him to

people on this website be like âitâs actually schoolâs fault that i donât know how to read because i wanted to write my essay on the divergent trilogy and that BITCH mrs. clarkson made us study 1984 instead. anyway hereâs a 10 tweet thread of easily disproven misinformation about a 3 year old news story and btw, who is toni morrison?â
i KNOW most of yâall are lying about being in the gifted program as children because none of you could pass the basic reading comprehension assessment they give third graders today
this post is mean and I never read divergent or whatever the fuck but 1984 sucks and is rape apologism so if somebody wanted to write about divergent or whatever good for them
this reply is like literally exactly what op is talking about lol. like firstly ops point isnât â1984 is goodâ, ops point is that analysing complex stories teaches you how to form opinions and think for yourself. and like secondly in 1984 youâre supposed to think damn itâs fucked up that heâs thinking that way about her, i wonder if this ties in with the central theme of âa society like this will fuck you in the headâ? (this is the thinking for yourself part). like do you think orwell just put that in for fun? do you think that just because winston is the protagonist youâre supposed to agree with everything he does?
You know I feel like this post just gave me an epiphany for what is wrong with how Tumblr Fandom/Internet Fandom responds to media-or not *wrong* but makes it very hard to respond to anything but a morally correct, and heroic protagonist.Â
When an English teacher, or reader, taught or picked up 1984, it wasnât with the intention they were going to love the protagonist. They picked it up with the intention of reading a whole story and trying to grasp the theme or catharsis from the story. If the protagonist was a *shitty* person it played into the the themes or the story, because it wasnât about morally judging the book or *liking* or feeling attachment to the protagonist. Sometimes and often times, books were just about gaining another perspective.Â
No one read Lolita expecting to endear, or like, or be inspired by Humbert. You are supposed to be upset by his behavior, you donât read Lolita with the intention of being inspired. You read it to learn more about what the fuck is going on inside someoneâs head when they behave like that. How children get sucked into abusive situations. Or read âThe Great Gatsbyâ not because they want to fall in love with Gatsby or Nick, but to better understand and analyze the experience of the 1920s or destitution of the American Dream.Â
A lot of internet and fandom culture has changed that though. When we say something like âI love the Great Gatsbyâ it comes with the idea or association that means you must *love* or relate to one of the characters. And maybe you do, but the first assumption is not longer about the quality of the work or themes, or cathartic impact-itâs about character admiration. And with that character admiration, in tumblr stan culture, or kin culture, or exalting characters with fanart/romance/so on you donât just âadmireâ or find that character âcompellingâ it now translates to âyou LOVE that characterâ or you âDIRECTLY relate to that character.âÂ
You canât say âI love how Humbert is written, itâs so fascinating and darkâ, without it directly translating you somehow relate to a child abuser or condone his actions. Taking in media has become an act of worship and connection. We no longer watch meant to just see the story as a whole, we watch expecting to connect to a character and if we offer them our âworshipâ as itâs become, as opposed to just attention or interest study as it traditionally was, it means we are condoning the character or saying we directly empathize with all their actions.Â
I think thatâs why there is often now so much fuss over *toxic* characters or not. Or whether that classical novel is showing good or bad things anymore. Weâre treating the characters as people we should love or want to draw or write about. Sometimes a story is just about getting the the theme or catharsis or learning another perspective. We donât NEED to like the character. Or we donât HAVE to like a character to be impressed by how theyâre written or intrigued by their behavior.Â
I think if internet culture could learn to view stories as small insights into other lives or single takes of one perspective instead of purposeful moral inspirations weâd be a lot less worried about how toxic or not toxic they are.Â
Favorite part of The Fall Guy is he's been framed for murder and faked his own death to avoid the people trying to kill him and he shows up in her trailer like "here's how you can still finish your movie" because it's important to her. And she has to be the one who goes "are you insane? we're stopping the murderers and clearing your name first."

hey, I was just at "things got better" island and everyone there is talking about how excited they are to meet you
i know that life isn't a race and that everyone does things on their own schedule and that i shouldn't compare myself to other people who haven't lived the same life that i have and overcome the same obstacles i have. BUT
Watched Andrew Scottâs Hamlet last week - suffice to say I have lost the ability to think about anything else in the near future
His performance was so raw - it was like I was entranced for the entire duration of the play
