The Goncharov meme is such a fun little spotlight on how people view media. Like, fake academic analysis about a movie that doesn't exist. Cool. But that's only the first level.

Next you have posts recreating a modern tumblr audience "discovering" an older piece of media and engaging with it through the lens of fan culture. Particularly tumblr-specific fan culture. Particularly in a way that feels like it got its blueprint from Dracula Daily. (Shitposts and memes, intense love for the most prominent female character, reads of complex romantic dynamics between characters, etc.)

Then you get fake discourse about the fake fan response to a fake movie that are quietly complaining about real ways real people respond to real media. I.e., America-centric readings, shallow, shipping-based readings, fans lionizing a protagonist not meant to be admired, etc.

(My personal favorite are posts that recreate the experience of being told a piece of media is so gay, you guys, only to watch it and find it isn't even remotely, that fans who wanted queer subtext wrung blood from a stone and thoroughly misled you.)

I also like the extra-meta ones about "this obscure movie being recently re-discovered," fake film history about copyright battles or the original cut being suppressed, etc. And of course, Johnny fucking Truant is here to give his editorial take on it, as he should be.

Pale Fire, House of Leaves, Goncharov. Humanity is such that every now and then we need to get really invested in fake arguments about a piece of media that doesn't exist.

Classical music subgenres

Fairy children dancing

ONWARD TO WAR

Electric guitars haven’t been invented yet so violins are still the sexiest instrument

Heavenly choir that’s way too long

Lost in a monastery and too timid to interrupt chanting to ask for directions

That one from the Bugs Bunny cartoon

Emilia’s garden parties are such fun!

Constance’s garden parties are not as fun as Emilia’s but still quite pleasant

Must we attend Gertrude’s garden party (Mother says we must)

Fairy adults dancing (NSFW)

You’ve heard this song a thousand times but your boss’ child has a flute solo so you have to keep nodding along

ONWARD TO WAR but with an indefinable Russian edge

An Italian man is singing from his belly so this is probably about love

(too quiet) TOO LOUD (too quiet) TOO LOUD

Intellectual supervillain shows off liberal arts education

Your boss’ other child has a ballet recital

Christmas

The other famous ballet that isn’t Swan Lake or the Nutcracker

Sitars?

The composer thinks cellos are sexier than violins

More dancing fairies but with an insidious tonal shift so you can tell it’s the weird kind with horns and this isn’t the nice part of the story

Church music that’s too bland to be heavenly choir or chanting

The Big Six

I spent my whole Masters using this. I can still remember the smell :') it's no thiophenol but it sure hung around

Lawesson's Reagent is a mild and convenient thionating agent for ketones, esters, and amides that allows the preparation of thioketones, thioesters and thioamides in good yields. #KingDraw #Reagent #science

Iron Fist Alexander is the most important NPC in all soulsborne games cause he exemplifies every aspect of fromsoft game design. He’s a silly jar man that gets stuck in the ground and asks for your help. He’s summonable for a giant festival boss fight. His body is filled with corpse meat. He laments his former home and swears to walk the path of a warrior never to return. In the end you grant him the hero’s death he always desired.

He’s got the funny, the horror, the lore, the gameplay, and the sadness all jammed inside his jar body, and is beloved by the community. Alexander is the most Soulsborne character of any Soulsborne character.

man the best thing I ever did for myself was refuse to force myself to accept other people's ideas of what I should be and what I should have achieved at this point

I get no joy from work, housing is basically unachievable, the future is bleak and not worthy of bringing a child into, so fuck it, I live for me now. If it brings me temporary joy, I'm doing the thing, even if it's doing nothing

I'm done playing catch up. I'm playing their game only as much as I need to exist with a modicum of comfort. I live for me now

“I feel like I am so far behind in life that I will never catch up. Everyone is doing so many things with their lives. I am just here. Frozen. I have been a ghost for years. I wonder if that is all I will ever be.”
