I saw a post on here saying that it was weird for people to be angry at the finale of Last Twilight because we're implying that Day's character arc and progression was pointless and by doing so were implying that any personal growth made by person irl who reovers from a temporary disability is pointless... I didn't want to reblog that post and add my response there because I don't want to come across as confrontational or hijack the post and points of the OP but I felt the need to put my thoughts out there.

I'll be honest, I think this is a bad faith argument. People aren't implying that Day's progression as a character was pointless. People are saying that the ending rendered the narrative pointless. This is a story after all, and narrative is important.

For 11 and 3 quarter episodes the narrative of the show centred on Day learning how to accept his disability, regain his confidence, and re-enter society all while falling in love and learning to accept love without assuming it comes from a place of pity. This was the story they were telling, this was the main narrative arc... and they undid it all in part 4 of the final episode by giving the stereotypical ending that reaffirms the idea that disability needs to be "fixed" in order for the person to have the happiest life that they can.

I agree that making the eye donation a plot point basically ensured that the ending would be a typical fix it type of situation. But plenty of disabled people, myself included, with chronic lifelong conditions, are tired of these plot points. And many people think that the narrative would have been stronger had Day's condition not been something that could have been cured. To able bodied people, that may sound like too depressing a fate, but that's the whole problem... not allowing life long disability to be normalised or to become something we don't pitty keeps these mindsets alive and perpetuate the cycle of assuming the lives of disabled people are lesser in enrichment and value.

Last Twilight had a real opportunity and it breaks my heart that it fell at the last hurdle...

I am not tagging the following post with #taylor swift and so help me if any of you do and I get swifties in my ask box I’ll riot but

you can think that a lot of the media’s hate and portrayal of Taylor Swift is unfair and misogynistic and ALSO think that she uses that as a shield whenever someone tries to hold her accountable for the terrible things she does do. like. at the same time. they can be simultaneous

she’s a talented musician and a coward. she’s broken records and racks up carbon emissions like her goal is for there to be no tomorrow. she has an incredible platform that she has built for herself and instead of using it to call for a ceasefire for Palestine, she aired her Eras Tour movie in Israel.

she’s a great musician. she is not a great person. move on

#rae rants #rae rambles #sw*ft*es piss me tf off #she has bangers! fine!#she also sucks

What do you comprehensively about focus of the heart? It’s definitely a project that’s certainly *there* with some talented folks on it.

This ask has been sitting in my box for a while, and I’ve resisted responding to it because I really don’t want beef with anyone on the project. My personal experience with those I have engaged with has been unpleasant, but that doesn’t fault their product nor everyone working on it. Also, I may jump around quite a bit because a lot of my feelings on FOTH have nothing to do with the game itself (it’s still in development) and everything to do with the “discourse” and reasons surrounding its creation.

Let me preface by saying, I’m incredibly impressed that the artists involved were able to come together to create a project inspired by the fandom they all love so much. Artist groups are a really great way to gain visibility as an artist. You could be making art that never reaches the people who would want to see it, but if you group together with other similar artists and support each other, your audiences begin to overlap and grow. That seems to be working really well for the people behind FOTH.

I should also warn that I am not the biggest fan of “fanon” content. I haven’t read a fanfic in its entirety in at least 10 years and I don’t make much content other than the occasional doodle and think-piece ramblings. I have nothing against shipping, headcanons, and AU’s. I partake in all of these myself, I have no issue with it. What I do have an issue with is people who say a creator intended for fanon that doesn’t exist in canon. Or people twisting dev’s words to their benefit, pulling things out of context to bolster their opinions. This has created conflict in the past between me and an artist or few on this project.

Shipping is very popular in the Horizon fandom, and has been since the first game was released. Zero Dawn provided us with many potential new friends for Aloy, some of which many fans were left confused as to how Aloy truly felt about them. After all, Ashly Burch who portrays Aloy is pansexual, and she claimed that over half the characters she’s played are queer. And Aloy, although inexperienced and unsure of herself in Zero Dawn, was definitely left flustered at some point by many of the popular shipping characters.

So why did it take the release of Burning Shores, a DLC that finishes with Aloy declaring her romantic attraction to a new companion, for the fandom to put together a dating sim? The Burning Shores DLC was released on April 19th 2023. The first post on the Official FOTH Tumblr was made on June 7th 2023. Their “About Us” post from the same day, says in the second sentence that they decided to create the game, “in the wake of negative internet discourse about fandom shipping.”

Negative discourse? What does that even mean in this context? Are they referring to devout fanon members harassing the game devs and Kylie Liya Page for the creation of Seyka as Aloy’s love interest? Who the fuck, other than people mad about Seyka, were creating fandom discourse around shipping Horizon characters at that time? Kylie Liya Page has literally been cyberbullied from the day the game came out. Yes, it’s died down considerably, but the only negativity surrounding shipping in the fandom was created by the very people who love shipping the most. Kylie was still experiencing the thick of this “negative internet discourse” six months ago.

So many of the very same people who desperately wanted Aloy to get her first romance, are the ones who were most off-put by Seyka’s story. It wasn’t good enough, it was forced, rushed, chosen “for me.” No, Seyka was chosen for Aloy, not you. A lot of people seem to forget that the role-playing element in Horizon is more of a tone-check. Heart, Brain, Fist. You’re not choosing Aloy's response, but how she responds. Is she going to address this compassionately, pragmatically, or stoically? Your attitude will be remembered in future conversations, but your choices have no effect on the quests or ending of the game. Your options in quests are to complete them as intended, or don’t do the quest.

We were never going to get multiple options for Aloy’s romantic partner in this game. She could still have another! Seyka doesn’t have to be the endgame, most people don’t end up with their first love. But how shitty would it be for us to lose Seyka completely as a character in the third game, because Kylie doesn’t want to come back and face that abuse again, or because the devs don’t want to subject her to that or lose more fans over it? What if they get rid of Seyka with a shitty write-off, and then Aloy ends up alone? We’ve now seen that she’s capable of opening her heart and experiencing that kind of character development. It would suck to have that taken away.

When you’re allowed to do whatever you want in fanon space, why go out of your way to harass the creators of the canon? Why bully fellow fans for having different opinions than you? You were already imagining these made up relationships that don’t exist, why does Aloy having a canon love interest ruin that? Why is Aloy having a canon love interest a disruption to fanon? It isn’t a disruption to fanon, clearly, as the creation of and support for FOTH has proved. Not only just by simply existing, but by their inclusion of Seyka in the game.

I was accused of being a bigot because I posted on my own blog that Aloy reads as a lesbian to me. I was harassed after Burning Shores came out for joking that we now have more proof of Aloy being a lesbian than bisexual. I’m a silly little lesbian, I see gay bitch, I want a lesbian. But that’s an opinion that exists in my mind, and on tumblr. It’s definitely not something I’m going to bring to the devs and accuse them of dancing around. Because still, as it stands, Aloy is most likely coded as pan/bi. It doesn’t warrant me or the thousands of other lesbian fans being harassed over a headcanon, though.

To me, and probably most people who genuinely feel normally about this game, there are way bigger issues in this fandom than anti-ship. There have been way bigger concerns surrounding how the developers and actors have been treated by the fans. There are way worse attacks conducted by fans who love shipping content than those who hate it. There have been worse attacks on people in this fandom by people "defending" their favorite ships than by outsiders in the gaming community that invade our spaces to tell us how mannish and ugly Aloy is. The people who think shipping is the biggest point of discourse in this fandom are most likely the same ones perpetrating it.

FOTH portrays their product as bravely pushing the boundaries on something that is going to receive backlash because it is shipping content. It represents itself as an amalgamation of all the shipping content in the fandom, dedicated to it. The language applied is intended to attract anyone who is cool with shipping, which I’m pretty sure is over 95% of this website. Definitely over 95% of the Horizon fandom. A genius move, from a marketing standpoint.

“What? That’s ridiculous, why are they facing negative discourse for a silly little dating sim? I’m cool with shipping, they get my support.”

It is ridiculous, isn’t it? Tumblr is full of shipping, how is a tumblr account for a dating sim finding itself in a position where it has to preemptively address negative discourse on the first day of the official blog existing? It’s because the negative discourse they’re warning against isn’t aimed at shipping, it’s aimed at the aggression seen from the creators on their personal blogs in regards to their favorite ship. But they opened with the discourse statement so that if they ended up receiving criticism from the people they bullied, there’d be a potential for fans of their project to blindly defend them because FOTH prefaced that all their haters just hate shipping.

That one statement from their account tells me that FOTH seems to be picksy-choosing what issues in this fandom warrant concern. Apparently, calling Aloy a lesbian is a bigger offense than sending death threats to actors and developers. Apparently, the worst discourse to happen in the Horizon fandom is because of those who defended Seyka from unwarranted hate and not the people who were enraged with her addition to the series. Apparently, FOTH wants to ignore all the harassment the devs of Horizon went through, but keep their fans aware that any so-called hate (criticism) that the FOTH creators face is simply unjustified and toxic. They opened their blog with an attempt to alienate anyone who might ever have a reason to criticize the game.

I won’t be playing FOTH, I have little interest in it besides innate curiosity. The closest I get to touching dating sims is fantasy RPG’s though, so I likely wouldn’t be playing it regardless.

As I stated in the opening, my feelings about FOTH have nothing to do with the game itself and rather the people behind it and the circumstances that brought it to fruition. I don’t think every artist behind it has the altruistic goal of simply creating something fun for everyone in the fandom to enjoy, I think some of them are just scratching an itch. If they were looking for something productive to place their frustration into, they found it. I’d be interested to know which pairings end up being the most fleshed out, and which ones are lacking. Especially since every artist got assigned to a character they genuinely enjoy. DM me privately to place your bets.

So, I guess, TLDR; I’m not going to try and stop anyone from playing Focus On The Heart, but I don't trust all the people working on it nor their intentions. For Reasons™.

#horizon #fanon #ask #rae rants #this is a fuckin long one holy shit #sorry i just love sociology and the reasons around why i dont like this game are too tumblr-sociological to resist explaining

some more jack harlow brain rot-- a certified music brat

hey yall hey music brain rot time because i'm considering music production as a major for uni

so on my way home i forced listened to lovin on me by jack harlow on the way home from school today, the unedited explicit version that is not radio appropriate and i have THOUGHTS

okay SO :

the whole "i dont like no whips and chains and you cant tie my down, but you can whip your lovin on me" overlay is... not good. at 0:31 in the song, the overlay drops and there's OBVIOUS POTENTIAL IN THE SONG the bassline is so so beautiful, as well as the cymbals (my music teachers got deported so i don't have a formal music education i don't know the fancy words) which compliment each other beautifully and at this point we have that cute little "young j a c k aka rico like suave (WHICH IS FUCKING INSANE FOR SOME KENTUCKY WHITE BOY TO KNOW WHAT RICO SUAVE IS BUT ANYWAY) young enrique speaking of aka". THAT BAR WAS FUCKING NASTY ILL OKAY? NASTY MF ILL ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? the flow on that bar was insane and RIGHT on the pocket i cannot it was amazing. giving very much white men CAN jump vibes, ya dig? AND THEN THIS BASTARD DROPS THAT FLOW COMPLETELY AND GOES INTO THE CHORUS/ BRIDGE THING (no formal training leave me alone) and the overlay happens again. sigh. my thing is there is so much potential (either in his bars or in the beat) and it just... goes to waste??? pisses me off real bad.

and then he has another nasty ill bar about young missionary WHICH DROPS THE OVERLAY AGAIN AND ITS JUST BASS AND CYMBALS WHICH IS FUCKING AMAZING and it was so good but i feel like that bar kinda fell off with that whole lord farquaad (unserious ass nigga) line where he loses the flow a little bit which pissed me AWF

but anyway. i think i should make in-depth music reviews a thing on this page, lmk what u think
