Girl are you the Hays Code the way you consider media irredeemable if it depicts anything that strays away from the norm you're comfortable with or depicts anything morally questionable without definitively condemning it and anyone associated with it, therefore creating worse stories and content and making it difficult for people to engage with complicated issues from a nuanced and controlled perspective?

To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.

Imagine you and a friend both watch someone toss a ball into the air. You're like, "Oh, it's going to come down here, so we'd better move," and your friend says, "Tch, clearly it's not coming down AT ALL," and just stands there.

Then, when the ball hits them, they're either mystified at how you figured it out, or they chalk it up to luck.

Either way, the NEXT time someone tosses a ball in the air and you tell them where it's going to fall, they're absolutely CERTAIN you're wrong THIS time, and assure you that THIS time the ball is going to stay in the air. So you get out of the way while your friend gets beaned again.

This is what it's like having autistic pattern recognition and not being taken seriously.

my favorite bit of "rich people are Like That" ephemera that I picked up from my Russian literature binge was from a noble character who was complaining about his serfs neglecting their duties, specifically the duty of staying up all night long slapping the pond water in order to prevent the frogs from croaking so that the nobleman could enjoy his sleep at his country estate with its adorable pond. whenever I hear wealthy people's complaints in this day and age the majority of it automatically filters to "the fucking serfs won't slap the pond anymore and it's honestly so destructive and cruel of them to deny me my beauty sleep like this" type statements

yesterday my language teacher said a phrase that was clearly an acquisition of my speech patterns and I felt like I had conquered God

#it was not complex at all but it was situationally and grammatically very much My Thing #she has like two masters degrees in language and speaks 5+ languages #passing on my speech pattern is truly An Achievement #it's like the greatest librarian of all has accepted my humble novel into her curration
