#it!

[arianeemorythethird]

silly fandom thoughts but I keep running into fandom attitudes I find totally baffling and I've been trying to articulate why, and I think it's ultimately down to the difference between:

I am writing fic or meta about my blorbo, who is wronged and suffering. I may end up misinterpreting canon or flat-out villainising other characters and groups in order to cast my blorbo in the best possible light and emphasise their Suffering, but ultimately everything is about the blorbo.

I am writing fic or meta against my anti-blorbo, who is to me the ultimate villain regardless of what canon has to say about them. I may misinterpret canon or flat-out change canon relationships to make my anti-blorbo look worse and emphasise that their canonical loved ones actually hate them, but ultimately everything is about the anti-blorbo.

the first one can definitely be annoying, but ultimately i get where people are coming from? but the second one just makes me sad. idk!

like, the key iddy pleasure of the first one is "everyone realises how wonderful my blorbo is and how much they have suffered, all other characters reassure my blorbo that they've loved and valued, other characters spend most of their time thinking and talking about how great the blorbo is even when it doesn't really make sense to do so."

and I get why that's fun! even when I don't care about the character and/or the fanon annoys me, I can understand what people get out of it!

but the key iddy pleasure of the second one seems to be "everyone realises how awful my anti-blorbo is and how they have never actually experienced anything that might make them sympathetic, all other characters including ones that canonically love the anti-blorbo actually hate them, other characters spend all their time thinking and talking about how terrible the anti-blorbo is even when it doesn't really make sense to do so."

and I just don't understand why! why spend THAT MUCH energy on hatred! why is that fun for people!

BECAUSE "ALIEN" DID NOT START THE "HAUNTED HOUSE IN OUTER SPACE" MOVIE TROPE.

OVERVIEW: 1958's "It! The Terror From Beyond Space" isn’t a particularly memorable early sci-fi horror movie, but this long-forgotten obscuro did pave the way for Ridley Scott's "Alien" and arguably provided a blueprint for its story in the process. Notable for little else, the '50s indie sci-fi "It! The Terror From Beyond Space" is strikingly similar to "Blade Runner" director Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 horror sci-fi hit "Alien" in terms of both plot and premise. Winning critical acclaim upon release, "Alien" was seen by many viewers as an unholy fusion of earlier '70s blockbusters, "Jaws" and "Star Wars."

However, there’s an earlier, mostly forgotten sci-fi movie with a surprisingly similar premise which seems to have served as an uncredited inspiration for the creators, as outlined below. Some of the influential "Alien’s" similarities from "It! The Terror From Beyond Space" could reasonably be a case of parallel thinking, but some of them are simply too egregious to ignore."

I think getting over whatever connotations I had associated w the word “trauma” and realizing it has a broader application than single point in time events was kind of huge for me. Of course making the distinction that I’m not pursuing a diagnosis to have that label and have it justify everything or whatever but to realize that things I do/think sometimes do have explanations and naming them can be the first step to overcoming them

#I talked to mari a bit about this already in dms (if ur reading this hi you’ve helped me a lot ily) but yeah. therapist kind of solidified #it!
