daily listening of hip to be square makes the day a little bit brighter

#i love the patrick Bateman Walkman playlist #autism be damned my boy has exceptional music taste #I don’t really talk about American psycho on here but it’s definitely one of my interests #I’ve read the book 3 times and watched the movie 3 times #I should read it again #I also wrote an essay about the book #analyzing alienation #best piece of media ever #solius posting #gay people really have a hold on literature #two of my favorite books are by gay men *salutes*

instantly elevate your male character designs with these easy steps!

- give him long hair

#not art #you could have the most surface level character on the PLANET and i will still think hes the best if he has long hair #like my standards for what makes a character good will instantly drop to 0 if he has long hair #my tastes are so predictable. you could look at any piece of media ive ever watched and reliably guess my favorite character EVERY time

I feel like because for the majority of Shameless Gallavich had it REALLY bad, like ATROCIOUSLY bad, like nothing good ever happened to them bad, I can't really get my head around the fact that they ended married, you know. Like what do you mean the same people that got beaten, pistol whipped and raped for loving each other ended up married with neverending love and happiness???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FINALE WAS BASED AROUND THEIR MARITAL BLISS??????

When Wally was finally able to acknowledge that his mother not only hurt him but was responsible for his death, when he took off his jersey with a look of relief and immeasurable grief and hurt, when he was finally able to give up on his mother's dream that he let define his life and afterlife beyond reason

I really felt that

#school spirits #that scene had me in tears #the courage it took wally to make a change like that after 40 years in the afterlife is simply stunning #like I have never felt so seen by a piece of media like I have by this one #the writers really get teens/young adults in a way you rarely see in media like this #school spirits may be the best high school drama I have ever seen #wally clark

sometimes interpreting media through a shipping lens enhances it, on occasion even beyond the author’s original intent, but sometimes, you do have to accept that your ship was not in the heads of anyone making the source material and trying to force it to fit into evidence of your ship will severely hinder your ability to discuss the actual text.

#and also ill hit you on the head with a brick #posts that. im not going to say theyre about destiel. im not going to say that. #and im not gojng to say it because. i dont need to. you already know <3 #and to be clear: its not the interpretation thats a problem here. thats the fun of shipping. its then taking what youve interpreted and then #trying to backread that onto the media itself as intentional. as intended. #dismissing the actual themes and story for evidence of a ship is the problem. u get me? #shipping brainrot is not ‘oh i think these characters would kiss for this reason’. #its ‘this show is and has always been about these characters kissing no matter how much i have to ignore about the show to make that true or #pretend is completely different than its actually presented or straight up make things up to make my ship be a part of the intended reading’ #thats the brainrot. the brainrot is when u step off the train of reality. #this is not true about the best piece of art ever made Captain America and the Winter Soldier. btw. that movie IS about bucky and steve #kissing alsjfdjskdjg #(<- okay im being silly here but id like to make a real point here too. the thing about TWS is that. it is genuinely enhanced by a romantic #reading. its not *better* than a platonic one. its just different. being able to see it through that lens does make a lot of the original #movie’s ideas even more complex. case in point like: steve struggling with his dating life. because what shared life experience does he have #with other people who look his age. and the movie is. about. someone who has his shared life experiences. and his mission to get bucky back. #you can see how that lens would be beneficial to the original movie rather than fighting it to prove the ship works in opposition to the #author’s original intent.)

hi. i would just like to say that this is an attitude i've seen around increasingly often and i find it deeply baffling. like, genuinely could not relate any less to what is being expressed here.

personally, almost all media i'm obsessed with and talk about constantly is because i think it's good and i love talking about the ways in which it's good. yes, criticism can be fun and breed conversation, but so can positive critique. thoughtful, long-lasting engagement with a piece of media doesn't have to be negative. there are in fact ways for media to be good beyond "competent but generally unremarkable"?

and this is ymmv, but complaining about something is more the snack food of media criticism for me. it's fun and great in the moment and it absolutely is something i need to do regularly to feel normal. but i can't live off it. i need to experience genuine appreciation and esteem on a regular basis too, or i shrivel like a raisin. (expressed more seriously: the kind of critique i find actually nourishing in the sense that it allows me to refine what kind of art i would like to make, and what makes me tick as a human being, is the positive kind about media i love very much for being excellent.)

idk guys. is it just that i'm autistic and therefore discussing for the nth time why xyz rules never stops being entertaining? what am i missing here. maybe it's good when media is good?

#my best friend and i did a thing last year where over the course of several months we got wizard high every couple weekends #and attempted to replay a game together that we were both obsessed with when we were younger #and we were both already aware that it was an incredible piece of art #and we had countless conversations about that #so at the start we mainly treated it as a joke like 'haha lets see if we unlock any new diagnoses' etc #but the most wonderful part of that project was realizing progressively that there was in fact So Much to love we hadn't even realized yet #that this thing we adored as teens/young adults does in fact not only hold up but is even better than we were aware of at the time #and how much of a difference our additional life experience made and how many things we only realized on this playthrough together #and it's the most fun i've ever had analyzing a piece of media and taking it apart from top to bottom in my life #and almost all of that was entirely positive. like. we had negative stuff to say too ofc lol. but not nearly as much. #anyway #highly recommend doing this with your formative media of choice that a friend and you were both independently obsessed with #txt

ABC is celebrating five years of Bluey with Bluey Fest, counting down the 100 top episodes. I voted for my top five!

1. Sleepytime

2. Space

3. Camping

4. Handstand

5. Cricket

Edit: At the time I voted for Cricket, but I now regret this decision, as this episode is an example of the military–industrial complex and how entrenched it is in society given this is a children's show that normalises war.

#Bluey #ABC Kids #Bingo is my favourite character by far #but often the best episodes don't feature much of Bluey or Bingo #like Space #which is one of the most beautiful and profound pieces of children's media ever made

Saying Swiss Army Man is about gay necrophilia is like saying Oedipus Rex is about a guy who fucks his mom. You're only technically correct.

#it's called reductio ad absurdum you dumb down a concept until it looks ridiculous #which is totally fine for jokes and laughters but for the ones out there who blatantly made fun of the movie without even watching #like this shit is so cringe a farting corpse oh my god this must be the worst movie ever #FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU #YOU THINK YOU'RE COOL BEING DETACHED AND IRONIC ABOUT EVERYTHING WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO FEEL SOMETHING FOR ONCE #TE LET YOURSELF BE TOUCHED CHANGED TRANSFORMED EMOTIONALLY BY THE CONTENT YOU CONSUME #I know Oedipus fucking his mom is the supreme meme I love it too but seriously read it #As someone who had tl study it believe me read it #I am not the joke police I just don't like when people are serious about dismissing pieces of media because oh no cringe alert #Allow yourself to be vulnerable and to be open when you consume something #Oedipus Rex was just the best metaphor that's why I quoted it #Oedipus Rex changed me and keeps changing me everyday believe it or not there's nothing I wouldn't give to have his strenght #He had the courage too look at himself in the mirror I never did #I feel like I am having a mental breakdown over Oedipus again I'll switch back to SAM #Swiss army man is a masterful lesson in life and art don't let some assholes make you believe otherwise #swiss army man #paul dano #daniel radcliffe

i love sincerely love working with dungeon meshi's magic system and the way mana sickness is depicted, like it has the breadth and scope for some truly powerful and wacky fun shit, but you can also easily bring down the hammer when you want to put the characters in difficult situations they can't get out of without a little creativity. i found when writing for baldur's gate 3 that, unless i was in a modified setting, i was hard-pressed thinking up fun ways for characters to solve their problems without just using magic, especially for the small things. i mean, what fun is throwing a character into a river and needing to warm them up when you can just cast prestidigitation?? it's one of the first things a novice can learn and also it's a cantrip, it literally costs nothing!

#dungeon meshi #not that im thinking of throwing anyone into a river or anything 👀 #but like for example i was reading this one fic where character A had gotten injured in a fight and there was blood everywhere #and they needed to hide the mess from character B for angst reasons #and i thought 'ooooohh character A isn't going to get it cleaned up fast enough and character B is going to find the blood #but then i remembered oh ya ... character A can just clean it all away with a snap of their fingers #and it took the wind right out of my sails haha #i suppose that's just a gale girlie problem tho 🥺 #that moment in the sick fic where kabru had to debate if it was worth it to dry off his shirt #like i loved having the opportunity to write him running a cost benefit analysis like that haha #dm isn't like the first series to equate depleted mana as fatigue or anything and forgotten realms has spell slots #but idk the way mana sickness is depicted just really works for me #especially having healing potentially hurting just as bad as the injury itself that FUCKS and idk if i've ever seen that before 🤔 #side note this is also why the magic system in hunter x hunter is one of the best in any piece of media ever

Okay so I’ve seen all those people talking about how mobius probably (definitely) has a family on the time line and that Loki will have to take him away from his family.

And this reminded me of something

I watched this show called the Orville which was a show reminiscent of Star Trek (the first seasons not that great but the next two seasons are really good)

SPOILERS BTW

In one episode in the newest season this character called Gordon accidentally goes back in time and while waiting for his coworkers to help him back he meets someone and starts a family with her. In the end they have to take him away from his family because your average time traveling reasons “your from the future so it can’t work” sort of thing.

That episode made me really sad and I don’t think I can handle that sort of thing again.

#Loki #Loki s2 #Loki season 2 #mobius m mobius #mobius #lokius #Orville #the Orville #the show is actually pretty good I recommend it #the Orville Gordon #like there’s this whole transgender subplot with one of the characters kids and it’s some of the most emotional stuff I’ve ever seen #like the guy just wants his child to be happy but his husband is like “I’m gonna divorce you if this our kid becomes a girl #and then they put on a whole singing shoe thing to distract the crew while she gets gender reassignment surgery #it’s actually one of the best trans things in pieces of media I’ve ever watched
