nbc hannibal is packed with ambiguous symbolism and confusing dialogue and at least three layers of subtext but if you ever get lost just remember that hannibal is a malewife pretending to be a girlboss and will is a girlboss pretending to be a malewife and exposing that in each other is what the show is about at its core

#it doesn’t matter how much meta you write or how deeply you analyse it or how much obscure symbolism you unpack #it always comes back to that LMAOOO #that’s the show’s whole thesis statement nothing else matters #hannibal just wants to cook (people) for someone and will just wants to kill what can u do #they’re weird and in love and achieve domestic bliss at the expense of multiple lives </33 fucks sake #hannibal #nbc hannibal #will graham #hannigram #ghost speaks

Tumblr userbase: "Hey can you please not actively sabotage the user experience with pointless UI changes that are clearly designed to make this place a Twitter clone in a very painfully obvious tactic to attract new users when clearly the current userbase dislikes the changes and by leaning towards dashboard algorithms and UI overhauls you're just going to alienate most if not all of the people that have stuck with Tumblr for years and year and give them a reason to finally jump ship?"

Tumblr:

#Seta Speaks #Seta memes #Tumblr #No Tumblr no you can not #I've been here ten years and my dashboard experience is so stuffed full of XKit mods that I don't even know what's happening anymore #I'm still on 2018 blue for god's sake #You can't sway me with XBox achievements guys good grief

It hurts that it feels like the way Kunikida was created to be a bit more of an important character but the plot constantly shafts him

You're telling me we have a character who was introduced in the very beginning of the story, who is the main mentor to Atsushi our primary protagonist, and current partner of Dazai our secondary protagonist, so important roles to both characters who kinda share the spot of being the main protagonist.

You're also telling me that we are constantly told that he's the person who embodies the values of the ADA the most, the main organization of the manga and is one of the things that we as the audience are supposed to care the most about. So we have the character who is the human embodiment of the beliefs of the ADA, who is the character that is going to be the next leader of the ADA, and is the character that was specifically targeted to be broken first because of these reasons.

so not only all that, but Kunikida's Matchless Poet has arguably some really strong parallels to The Book. We've got:

An ability that allows the user to create anything they want by writing it into a special book.

A special book that allows anybody to create and change reality into anything they want by writing in it.

Obviously there is a massive difference being the scale, The Book being able to change reality, and The Matchless Poet only being able to create notebook sized objects to our current knowledge. I don't genuinely believe there's gonna be any relation between the two but the parallels are still there and we also don't know the full strength of Kunikida's ability due to Fukuzawa's ability and lack of a proper backstory for Kuni showing what it was like before the ADA. There is a very good chance that The Matchless Poet is stronger than what it's shown to be but its purposely kept to such a small size because of practicality.

I'm not saying that he isn't important at all, but it definitely feel's like he's been shafted the most out of the ADA, except for maybe Tanizaki. At least give us a backstory please.

#bsd kunikida #kunikida doppo #bungo stray dogs kunikida #bungou stray dogs kunikida #I need to do a full evaluation of his ability some day bc I feel like there's a bit to unpack there #Also backstory when please #his ideals had to have come from somewhere #nobody comes out the womb being that obsessed with trying to create a perfect world to that extent #the extent of him seeing himself as a tool to achieve his ideals and tries to sacrifice himself for the sake of it and his friends

Re my previous post: On the other hand as far as I know nobody is working on a serious apologist /j biography of luigi lucheni, anarchist and one of the most dangerous. If I was more insane and not scared of reputation loss I would do that 💀💀💀💀

EDIT: a snippet from my drafts:

#i have so many posts in my drafts from when i was planning a fic 😂😂😂💀💀💀 #basically: not to get put on a watchlist but imagine you're some guy with a shitty life in the late 19th century and your only wish is to #achieve fame and posterity #like you're pretty much never going to do that unless you do something horrible #royalty is famous automatically bastard peasants only if they murder someone important........ #not saying it is a good or just goal - at one point he was comfortably employed in the household of a duke but threw it away #like he could've lived a decent life but he left that job on a whim and couldnt get back on his feet so became radicalised #obviously there is mental illness & lack of social cohesion and opportunity & rash personality at work there #none of those excuse murder but just saying. almost all of the lucheni articles out there are extremely unsympathetic of him #for gods sake rudolf killed at least two (2) people and we have meow meow literature of him... it's time for a lucheni era #history #💀😭😂

ok so i don't personally believe in the 2 states solution (for a myriad of reasons i won't get into now), but why does it seem like everyone who supports it these days is labeled as a zionist? i know why i might think that, but i doubt it's for the same reasons so i'm genuinely asking here

#it's just that the two states solution is still seen as a leftist delusion in israel #which i think is laughable like i know why i hate it #but idt tumblr.com hates it for the same reasons? #again like maybe im reading this wrong but. to me it seems like a not insignificant amount of ppl here oppose any solution in which -> #<- jews would remain here? #or like i have seen ppl suggest that palestine should become a nation state in which jews can choose if they want to become citizens or go #and from a historical justice pov i completely understand that but u understand why that would be impossible to achieve realistically right #so actually what im saying is. are u really opposed to the 2 states solution for real reasons (valid) #or are you opposed to any solution that doesn't fit perfectly with your ideals and thus preventing any actual progress from happening #for the sake of us having this discussion in good faith. i personally believe in 1 secular state + right of return to palestinians #+ reparations + full equality under the law #which also doesn't sound very realistic in the current climate but yk #politics cw #did i make any sense at all with this

NGL I think one of my least favorite "gotchas" that I see/get while critiquing stories is "so how would you fix it? oh so you don't have an idea of how to rewrite the story to make it better? oh so basically you're just complaining that you don't like it and don't have actual critique."

Buddy.

Sometimes the reason I don't have a "solution" to how the author should've rewritten their story to be better, is because I'm not privy to the author's thought process, what their alternate story ideas were, what they talked about with their editor, what they might've been forced to do by deadlines, or even what they might've thought they were writing towards at first but then later changed the trajectory of their story to be about something else.

It's all well and good for me to say something like, idk, "I think Character A should've gotten more narrative focus because their story could have helped fix XYZ Plot Hole," but it could very well be that the author never intended for Character A to be a prominent character (just a secondary or tertiary character). Maybe using Character A to solve one Plot Hole would've gone against the writer's plans because then it would open up a different plot hole for something else they had planned later in the story. If it's an ongoing story, maybe something I see as a "plot hole" is actually a deliberate mystery that the creator left open to write about later-- or maybe the plot hole is because there was a deadline crunch and the author had to drop a certain character/plot point/etc because they couldn't fit it into the story any more. Maybe having Character A be a more prominent part of the story is just based on MY personal tastes and what I would want to write in MY version of the story, but completely clashes with the characters/conflicts the author wanted to focus on.

Because yes, there are some story critiques that are as simple as "part A doesn't make sense, you could just fix it by doing B", but there are also some story critiques where suggesting a viable "solution" would require BEING the author or someone involved in the production of the story to understand what limitations or plans were involved in the selection of that flawed plot point. There are also some story critiques where even if there is a "problem" and my critique offers a "solution," there could be another "solution" or even dozens that do just as good of a job fixing the issue, but involve vastly different characters, plot ideas, so on and so forth.

Being a good critic isn't (just) about going "the story would've been better if X happened" because the story is ultimately in control of the author and their vision, and without knowing what the author's vision was (something that you almost exclusively know if you're 1. the author or 2. their beta reader), it's impossible to definitively say "this plot point should've been cut/[completely different thing] should've happened instead" because THAT is the point at which you're complaining, not critiquing. I would argue that in some cases, trying to "fix" a story yourself actually makes your critique worse, not better, because it ends up being a case of you simply imposing your artistic vision over the author's to say "I think it would've been better this way."

At least if you just say "this part of the story was flawed because XYZ" without saying "it should have been ABC instead", then you're stating your grievances with the story without being presumptuous enough to assume that YOUR version of the story would fit the author's original vision, or the constraints they were working under, or the other versions of the story that they were debating over at the time before ultimately settling on one version (even if flawed).

There's a point at which "this plot is flawed, that should've happened instead" is just fix-it fan fiction and not actual critique that could help the writer write their story in a way that fits their vision.

#squiggposting #discourse #i think the closest you can get to definitively saying 'the author should've done X instead' #would be something like JRO and the handbooks he recently released where he actually revealed alternate plot ideas #or like what the reasoning was behind different plot points. as well as what he did and didn't include and why #because THEN with a more clear understanding of the behind the scenes/what the author wanted to achieve #THEN you would have more information to be able to say 'this alternative storyline would've solved this plot hole' #or to even say 'actually those alternate ideas weren't as good and picking the canon flawed plot made a better story' #like for god's sake ppl apparently don't understand that art and storytelling and creativity are subjective #sometimes if i don't have a solution it's not bc my critique is invalid. it's bc there's multiple ways to fix it #and i'm not the author so idk which way of fixing the story would best suit their intentions/purposes/limitations #despite what snobs seem to think it's very possible for you to say 'this is flawed' and not know what the fix for it is #it's like how you can eat restaurant food and go 'something about this tastes bland' #w/o having to know what ingredients went into the recipe or how it's supposed to taste #and in that case unless you literally know the recipe or are a chef you would come off as a dick #if you tried to dictate to the kitchen what they did wrong and how to fix it #for some reason story critics are terrified of ambiguity and uncertainty and subjectivity and idk why #it is very easy and not intellectually wrong for a person to say 'this is flawed' and not have a solution for how to fix it

Also I continue to feel for Sand, he is going to get dragged in this so badly. I know it does not conform with the shipping of a pair but I want Ray to just disappear from Sand's life for good.

When Sand said this to his mom, it just broke my heart seeing him hope.

#that boy is so honest for fucks sake #he is so clear in his thoughts #he js so sensitive and real empath #with adorable dreams and trying to achieve them #he should be left alone #pls P'Jojo dont hurt him #ofts meta #ofts #ofts sand #only friends #only friends the series
