so i wrote an 8-page essay about personhood and yoo joonghyuk in omniscient reader's viewpoint for my real life seminar for a real life grade that will be on my academic record forever. why? because im insane.
read "me, myself, and i: recognizing personhood in omniscient reader's viewpoint" here!
i would highly recommend reading this short text as an introduction to some of the theory and terms used in my essay; ive also included an extremely condensed version of the major points used for my paper under the cut.
narrative prosthesis: disability and the dependencies of discourse speaks on disability— and more abstractly, a deficiency in something— being a vital part of literary narratives, while also disqualifying disabled people from being perceived as human.
characters need to be missing something or deficient in some way in order to necessitate a story to be told about them, and at the same time this disqualifies them from being a "human person". essentially, disability is used because of its inherent implications: that there is a story to be told about it, and that there is a story that can be made from it. the end goal of the narrative is to either "fix" this disability/deficiency, or to "prosthesize" it with an equally narratively valuable explanation or compensation, hiding it from view.
disability and its place in literature is surrounded by a myriad of issues, such as how representations of disabled people are used to justify their abuse and exploitation. disability is viewed as the "master trope of human disqualification", automatically marking someone to be completely unrecognisable as a "normal" human, and when a disability becomes too apparent— both in literature and in the real world— a prosthetic is sought by the narrative or by social pressure in order to "compensate" for the disability, restoring it to an "acceptable" level.

Hill Country - written for @1dcountryfest
harry/louis | explicit | 11k | friends with benefits, family angst
Louis is a farmer. His family gives him hell for it, only because it’s not a nine to five job and he should set a better example for his siblings.
When he's invited (scratch that, required) to pay a visit for a will reading, he has to double down on his work chores in advance. But spring break is just around the corner in Austin, which means Harry's free and he really, really wants to hang out.

AH! Hello Dearest 💌 Anon! I hope you are doing well as well!
I'm so happy to hear that you are excited about the You Know Where the City Is update! I was worried people were going to be disappointed it wasn't a Ducklings update or a sickfic - BUT I really, really love this fic and am so excited whenever I finish a chapter and am able to post it!
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the chapter after you read it! 2014 Fictional!Matty and Fictional!Taylor, the bisexual disaster duo have a very special place in my heart and I enjoy writing them so much! Let me know what you think when you finish it!
Thank you so much for reading, for your support and for this lovely ask! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your night!

so I wasn't expecting my khux gameplay post to blow up this much because normally I just shout my khux thoughts into the void and that's that, but it's been really amazing and heartwarming seeing everyone's personal experiences with khux, like I can't say enough how much I LOVE looking at everyone's additions and tags :)
I had tried writing a long post about some khux feelings but it just wasn't coming out right. this post isn't about the game this is about me sorry tl;dr I'm a very anxious person and I love to see other people just as excited about khux as I am because I feel better about how much I like it. which is A Lot
