absolutely hate when i can't think of where a quote or saying comes from but i know it absolutely comes from some piece of media i've consumed in the past and i agonize over trying to trace it back to the source and then give it up, and then i'm watching a piece of media and bam i found the root of the phrase and it's like. thor ragnarok. or something.

#kit to kit #two examples immediately come to mind one is thor ragnarok #ive been literally agonizing for maybe a year (when i remember to agonize) #over where the phrase 'im sorry you had to hear that. but you DID have to hear it.' came from #and i was like mean girls?? #high school drama??? #googling the words came up with nothing #and then i rewatched fleabag and olivia coleman says that to fleabag #and i was like yoooooo for teh longest time #and then also #the phrase 'i thought the world of you' with voice softer slash almost breaking in the middle #couldnt remember where it was from #fucking thor ragnarok #it bugs me especially cause im usually so good at connecting quotes to media ive consumed #like so good #but those two quotes slipped my mind everytime #and ive recently found out both of them #and it's like both a brain itch finally scratched #and an anvil to the skull

When tumblr decides to be normal about shows like Steven Universe and RWBY is the day I’ll know peace

#RWBY #steven universe #they are like. perfectly normal shows that people are so insane about but when you watch them its like. #this character did not have the correct reaction to this other character. irredeemable media #recently did rewatches of both while trying to ease my way through a depressive episode and like wow. #astonishing how normal and good these shows are! #if you were to purely consume them through popular internet discourse you would think that Steven Universe child was Adolf hitler #and that Ruby rose committed mass genocide on puppy farms #anyway

If you could fancast any actress to play Fanny, who do you think could do her justice, based on previous performances? How about Edward?

I am not the person to ask this, I hardly know the names of any actors, much less ones who are young (Fanny is 18 during the main novel). I personally think it would be the best if Fanny was a nobody actress and everyone else in the adaptation was famous, because it would represent Fanny's unimportance to everyone.

This is what my ideal Fanny Price looks like, based on hints in the novel:

Edmund Blair Leighton, Where There’s a Will

But honestly, they just need to get her personality correct and I'd be happy.

#mansfield park #fanny price #question response #adaptations #I do not consume enough recent media #And right now I'm watching Kdramas #So I'm really no help

missing clefdraki hours.... silly little fucked up fellas....

#i get so many hyperfixations in such short spans of time that i tend to gloss over such good ones #they're like one of my only recently short hyperfixations i actually will come back to frequently #which means they have the potential to be mega brainrot but my brain is fucking fried and on overdrive and i neeeeeeeed to slow down #because i just keep consuming media to distract myself from absolutely everything but im not taking the time to actually enjoy it :( #stellas gone mental #clefdraki #scp #dr kondraki #dr clef

Sometimes I can't wrap my head around the way people casually just read and interact with fandom and don't feel moved by so many different things

There is a human being out there who created something for fun, because they wanted to, and they decided to share it with us

There are a group of beings just like you reading, seeing, watching exactly what you are, interpreting it in drastic ways from the same exact media

There are entire worlds created, people, choices, loss and love and light made in the form of various forms of art, different experiences and abilities and understandings and representations

How can someone be so normal about being able to interact with another's creation? There own flesh and blood, time and energy, placed into physical form for us to UNDERSTAND?

How do you not stop to marvel at the unique use of brushes and words, the quirks in their line art, animation, and chapter titles? The way the images move, how the words are said, the song choice? Do you not look and let it completely consume you and everything you are? Does it not touch your soul and burn? Does it not leave you frail and weak? Bright and bubbling with laughter and joy?

How can you contain the marvel that is another's creation and keep it to yourself? How do you not explode with love for someone's art?

Like, I cannot fathom it

#fox speaks #this is about the Sonadow rec list I recently posted #but also just ever piece of media I have ever loved #like god damn #how do you not change everyday in the tiniest ways based on everything you consume? #fandom #fan works #ao3 fanfic

ROUND ONE: Typewriter keys vs. Lock pick

Propaganda:

Typewriter keys:

I have a typewriter and the keys are TEMPTING

They are round. They are shiny. They have letters like alphabet soup stuff. Some have fractions on them! Or punctuation! And when they’re on a typewriter and you hit them, they make a VERY nice clicking sound.

Lock pick:

Six of crows

Kaz did it. You can too. Escape the inescapable prison.

#eating the inedible #eating your asks #inedibles round one #Typewriter keys #Lock pick #okay #but the fact that my name is Kaz #for entirely unrelated reasons #like #i've never consumed six of crows media except for recently through osmosis #also since im commenting on that: #typewriter keys are very clacky

Hello Tumblr user Rio Sarioh! If you're bored; do you have a favourite book you like to talk about? What is it about, why do you like it? Or perhaps a movie or show of which you enjoy the writing? A fairytale? A poem?

Wow, creative writing. Any thoughts on that? Pretty swell, in my opinion.

Hope you have a nice vague nine hour time window and that your thing arrives in good condition!

HEY tumblr user tt04sty hope u r doing well and thank you for the ask. also my Thing has indeed arrived in good condition so thank god i didnt have to wait all day for it. to be frank questions about my favorite media make me feel like a deer in headlights bc for whatever reason whenever i get asked this i somehow forget every piece of media i've ever consumed or that has had an impact on me in any way and i don't know why. safe answer though is probably everything everywhere all at once which i know might come as an absolute shock to everyone (<- wrote a 16k word fic inspired by it) but generally just any media that is very Wacky and Surreal visual-wise but with a central theme of love and connection gets me really bad because i am very predictable and also a little pathetic. also as a gay asian living in the west with a very stereotypical asian mother you can probably understand why the movie had such an impact on me LOL.

also creative writing... i've only done one work of creative writing in the past few years and that was wind back the clock which i think about genuinely all the time. writing Character Study is the most cathartic and fun experience in the world to me and i prolonged publishing that for SO long because i just wanted to keep working on it forever. my writer's problem is that it takes me about 60 years to come up with an idea that i am captivated enough by to be able to put it into writing and actually stick to it for more than a day and that has only happened one single time in my 2 years in mcytblr. but by god i would kill a whole man to be able to do that all over again because i am regrettably a stem major and have not written an essay or anything else creative in years and while im enjoying it i do feel like im missing out on a crucial part of being a Person. i miss writing so much you have no idea. and i feel like the further i go into this Degree the more my Meta Analysis brain starts to rot and get replaced by Numbers and Formulas and Snippets of code. i'm losing my touch forreal

as far as other media goes... to be perfectly honest i have not been consuming much lately just because i have been very busy irl but i did just finish reading the red rising trilogy for the first time which was cool... also have probably watched about 200 hours of animal documentaries over the past few months LOL. actually on the topic of books i am going on a flight soon and will have a 9 hour stopover so if anyone has any book recommendations of ANY genre i would love to hear them. please tell me all of your favorite books i want to read them all

#this is kinda long sorry i sorta rambled. #really have Not watched as much stuff as i wouldve liked recently #other media that has changed me as a person that ive consumed semi recently... maybe disco elysium?? succession?? #also tft. i cannot lie i have been playing an ungodly amt of tft. its really shameful #thank you for the ask though!!!!!! i feel like i didnt really answer ur question but yeah . sorry about that LOL

I think one of the reasons why I have such a hard time reading books lately (and listening to audiobooks and narrative podcasts, for that matter) is that I feel compelled to take notes on literally everything whenever I try.

I’m pretty bad with names and thus have a very hard time keeping characters straight in my head, much less locations or finer details of lore. It comes easier to me when consuming visual media (like video games or shows), but if there isn’t a visual component, everything kind of blurs together in my brain.

I don’t think I have aphantasia; I can visualize things in my head, albeit very vaguely. If a book or an audio drama gives me a detailed description of a place or a person, that image tends to vanish from my brain almost immediately and at best I only have a general idea of what they’re supposed to look like. I tend to remember faces better than names, so if there’s no visual component, characters become very hard for me to remember.

It’s not impossible; I have a pretty thorough knowledge of the characters from SOMA, for example, where almost all of the characters are introduced through text or audio logs. (Though I will admit that my knowledge mostly came from me obsessively re-watching playthroughs and video essays and reading the wiki until I felt like I sufficiently understood everything that was going on in the plot… I have a tendency to do that if a story grips me.)

I think a more successful example was from when I played Tacoma a while back, that’s a game whose plot is relayed entirely through environmental storytelling and audio logs; you never see the characters in the flesh. I knew right away I would have problems following the plot, so I grabbed a pen and paper, wrote down everyone’s names, and kept track of their relationships as I went through the story. That worked out pretty well, because Tacoma is a short game with a small cast of characters, and I was able to beat it in an afternoon. My notes all fit onto one page.

I think what I’m trying to say here is that fiction is hard for me to read because I’ll inevitably become hopelessly lost if I don’t also force myself to do homework. The last book I remember reading from start to finish was 2001: A Space Odyssey a few years ago, and I took copious notes while I did it. I’m currently stuck 3/4 of the way through the sequel, I think in part because the second book has way more characters than the first, and every time I try to pick the book back up I have to remind myself who everyone is.

I finally, finally started reading Ancillary Justice and I anticipate that this is going to be a problem. Thankfully the app I use to track books I’m reading added a feature where you can write down characters’ names and their attributes, so hopefully keeping people straight in my brain won’t be as much of an issue. I’ll see how it goes, I guess.

#long rambly post about why I think I find it hard to read books in recent times #I stopped reading fiction in high school and have had a very hard time picking it back up since then #however I am dragging myself kicking and screaming into reading books I know I will like. even if it’s extra work #idk if this is interesting or relatable at all. #my brain is weird sometimes. it makes me do weird things when I consume media #personal

It's Paul McGann's birthday folks!

HBD to the doc!!

they have the same hair. i literally can't say who's is who (intended pun)

disclaimer: In no way do I recommend watching this movie. I've got no clue what I watched but that dude who plays the doctor is so very pretty

#paul mcgann #doctor who #8th doctor #recently watched the dw movie #and well that was an... experience #i sense myself being dragged into annother wormhole #big finish here i come #i dont have the time for this #oh the things i do for dw actors #from what i have heard there is a lot of dodgy media outside of dw too that must be consumed as a paul mcgann stan

[wolvertooth]

tbh its kind of making me feel emotions going thru the websites of the artists listed in the wolvertooth yaoi anthology. cuz it really was only like a handful of people making art for this ship, and they all knew eachother, 20 YEARS AGO.......like its basically the same as it is now. and there was another group of artists in like the 2012 - 2017 era too. theres just been different small groups over the years. and especially for the older stuff, thinking about how much of it wasnt preserved cuz of being hosted on personal websites, so theres a bunch of work thats been lost to time. and ive come across a bunch of stuff thats been deleted too, only preserved thru deviantart reposts and tumblr reblogs, but also broken links implying there used to be something there.

i'll keep looking :,)

#if i could cry i would cry at this i think lol #just recently my whole perception changed on 'media' and its been a weird experience #the realization that everything is created by someone. every creation is on the same level. #fanart is the same level as anything published. there isnt some 'higher being' giving us these things. we give it to ourselves. #maybe this was something most people already knew but i grew up in fandom. it was normallized to idolize published media. #as well as idolizing creators in general #but its all the same....everything we consume is created by humans. #not everything is made with the same passion. but the people who drew fanart 20 years ago did it for the same reason i do it. #it felt like magic kinda went away after i realized all of this. but maybe thats ok. maybe its supposed to make me feel more connected. #maybe its supposed to take the edge off a bit. idk.
