sorry lol I just agreed with that post so much and it got me thinking tbh. I think a lot of us have gotten into a habit of looking at a story so critically, trying to sniff out plot holes and 'bad writing' in a way that misses the fact that the point of a story is to tell a story. I feel like people forget about suspension of disbelief in their mission to analyze a work sometimes. I do think there is a place for in-depth meta analysis of a work, I think it's just as much a worthy fandom experience as any, and maybe that post wasn't even meant to criticize people doing that sort of thing at all, but I just. I think a lot these days about how much more enjoyment I get out of a thing when I decide to watch or read or play it with the intention of just letting it be what it is and not trying to fucking grade its quality or something. you don't have to rate and review everything you do. sometimes you can go 'oh they could have written this differently. but this isn't that version of the story' and then just carry on and not let that other version of how things could have gone haunt your experience. sometimes you have to go 'wow that was kind of dumb' and then just integrate the understanding that the thing you're watching/playing/reading is gonna be kind of dumb sometimes and keep going anyway. and it won't always work out this way, but sometimes you're gonna get a lot more entertainment and joy out of a thing by doing that than by keeping score in your head of the things it's doing 'wrong' or whatever, and I think enjoying a thing for what it is can be a much better use of your time than criticizing it for what it isn't, you know? we're not all film critics. we're not all book reviewers. we don't always need to give a measurement of the quality of everything we experience. you can just experience it. you know?

i love watching Hannibal with @goldenlilja because it's the first time she's ever seen it and i've watched it at least six times now and every time something happens i'm just like "oh no how could they do that" even though i already knew it was going to happen

GET TO KNOW THE MUN:
what’s your phone wallpaper : my lockscreen is katsuki and izuku (ahaha, of course it had to be my favs), meanwhile my homescreen is just stars. i like space.
last song you listened to : battle symphony / linkin park.
currently reading : funny. hilarious. i don't read. (does the bnha manga count?)
last movie : kingsman: the secret service!
last show : brand new cherry flavor. it's. an odd one, but kinda cool!
what are you wearing right now : black hoodie with koi fish on the back, my glow-in-the-dark gooigi shirt, and dark grey pants. very casual.

glasses ? contacts? : nope.
last thing you ate? : some very decadent cupcakes from my bday.
favorite color(s) : red!
current obsession : ohhh definitely bnha, a bit of overwatch since i'm playing it a lot recently (the season theme is sci fi and i love sci fi), and a dash of genshin. give me enough time and some more news from bioware and i'll be down the dragon age rabbit hole soon enough.
favorite fictional character : right now? hands down, katsuki. runner ups are izuku, dorian (dragon age), anders (also dragon age), reaper (overwatch), diluc (genpact)...
