#but asking me if I've seen the interview where they discuss [blank] and the answer is no and i don't really care to

tumblr will get so close to good textual analysis and discussion and then the next comment will be

"well actually, in an interview/on twitter/in passing on an Instagram Live, they said that's not true so you're wrong actually, end of discussion 🤷‍♂️"

#back on my - i only count what's in the text - bullshit #i think this is fr the hill i would die on for no reason 😂 #i think it's healthy to have a few of those lol #I'm not mad when people do this. it's just a different way to discuss a text #but it's not /more/ valid than a 'whats in the text' approach. even if it is more popular in fandom spaces #i dont think people really do this to be mean. like they are being helpful technically i guess #but asking me if I've seen the interview where they discuss [blank] and the answer is no and i don't really care to #or well. i might. but I'll try to not let it sway me in terms of what's actually in the text #you can understand that 'old wizard is gay but i didnt say it in the book' is stupid #but 'actually [this] represents [this]' said by a creator in an interview is the same #this is just a pet peeve though! it's whatever #its mostly because it coincides with my inability to stay up to date with interviews and social media of creators and creatives #i just. simply do not have the brain capacity to do that so. this is so much easier for me lol #woes of emily
