listen ive read a lot of fucked up manga, like, everything from uzumaki to oyasumi punpun to blood on the tracks. and generally they dont really fuck me up all too much. despite how harrowing all those examples are i dont feel like i get /too/ twisted up inside. or disturbed on, like, a fundamental level. but for some reason "inside mari" fucked me up. its not "scary", or the deepest, and its not even a series i would overall recommend to most but... for some reason after reading it i had like full on dissociative episodes for a few days. i dont know what about it got to me so much, because at its base nothing in it "scared" me- it's not a horror! its a psychological deep dive, a body swap story with a twist on a twist. i dont know what about it messed with me and i wish i could figure it out because i feel like there has to be a reason. but i literally dont know

you ever go through a period in your life where everything is just changing so much and you dont really adjust well to change but you also dont want things to stay the way they are but you also get kinda sad bc even if things were shitty there were still some things that were comforting but those things just arent as comforting anymore but you dont know what can comfort you now so you’re desperately trying to hold onto what was while also hoping for something new and its jusgdfhgntjkdgrgfwelrkgjflkhjg AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Adaptions need to know their chosen media and medium, their limits and strengths extremely well to pull off a good adaption. What can your medium do that the original couldn't, and is what you lose made worth losing by what you gain? What are you adding to this expirence that will make it stand up to (or taller than) the original?

honestly the bioessentialism/cisnormativity/etc in amazon tv's the wilds might not have taken me as offguard as it did if i hadnt first seen it lauded online as being sooo queer and progressive. like sorry to be a buzzkill but i think when youre doing your free marketing for your uwu gay shows if theres concepts like "inherent male violence" and words like "gynotopia" that go completely unchallenged by the narrative youre being stupid and cruel to the community youre pushing to watch it

what are your opinions on atcoe and russian object shows in general? im sorry if this has been asked before lol
I've Seen Three (Atcoe, CFMOT, and Ion) and I Enjoyed All of Them Well Enough But Atcoe is Definitely My Favorite. I Love When Shows Flesh Out The Gameshow Aspect so Them Setting the Show Up and Hiring People and Talking About Game Mechanics? Excellent. Wonderful. More of This Please. I Enjoy the Cast Set Up So Far and Traffic Light is Definitely a Standout Character to Me. It's So Goofy and Charming, Definitely a Top 10 Show for Me, Maybe Even a Top 5.
I Really Have Enjoyed My Brief Glimpse Into the Russian Osc Scene and Would Love Any Reccs Anyone Has. This Goes for All Foreign Language Shows Tbh, I Love to See What Exists Outside of the English Speaking Community

I don’t really care about shipping THAT much but honestly a lot depends on what about a pairing makes you like it. what about it draws you in, what doesnt, and why you want to change that thing. what it would become if you changed that thing, what changing that thing would do to it.
I saw a post about zukka the other day where OP was groaning about how many ppl make zuko into a babygirl for his long hair while acting like sokka is this hypermasculine hunter type, despite so much of his character deals with themes of inadequacy and wanting to make people around you proud/ take you seriously. also him liking shopping and arts&crafts and into theatre and writing poetry. OP said something like ‘it becomes about the viewers desire to fit a character to their own tastes, without considering who the character actually is’ which is such an eloquent way of putting it!
so when it comes to messing around with identities via ships its like… playing with gender and shit is fun! its good to explore and mess around and try things. if your outlet is through your favorite characters, hey, go nuts. but I think its really important to look at the way we feel and consider why we feel that way.
literally whenever i sit down to write something i go ‘okay. is this for me to be self indulgent and ooc. or is this to be faithful to the characters as they exist as narrative tools’ basically am i writing for Me or am i writing for Them. and i do both! but it just comes down to that I dont like taking characters out of the context of their stories too much. im a firm believer of ‘liking something because of something, not despite it’, so when it comes to m/f ships its like. okay well why am I drawn to this over a gay ship. do I think ‘damn i wish this was gay’ or is the fact that its mf add a little flavor. for me its all about the flavor
