look, fandom as a whole certainly has its own built-in biases and problems that need to be addressed 

but like

every so often i think about all of the deep, nurturing lifelong friendships that only ever happened because one day two internet strangers were like ‘oh hey, we agree on which fictional characters should kiss!’

people who are right now helping each other survive via connections they initially forged by liking the same sailor moon girl or something

the internet is a goddamn garbage pit but it is also a goddamn miracle

Not to be a teacher on main but a lot of people in the "video essay" community need a reminder on what an essay is. an ESSAY is NOT an explainer, an account of an investigation, or a summary of information. It certainly can involve those things. However, an essay is an argument for a particular idea backed up with analysis and evidence that supports that point of view. "the themes of Barbie, explained" is not really an essay. "how the themes of Barbie reinforce gender essentialism" is an essay. "the story behind this cooky subculture" is not essay. "how capitalism co-opted this subculture" is an essay. "all the ways Oppenheimer isn't historically accurate" isn't an essay. "here's why I think Oppenheimer is about the cult of individualism" is an essay. "I spoke to all these people about this topic and here's what they all said" isn't an essay. "I investigated this topic, spoke to these people, and here's how what they said supports my thesis" is an essay. At its most basic level, an essay answers the question of "why the fuck should you care?" at every point. It doesn't get bogged down in context or summarisation. A lot of "video essays" are not really essays they're just people saying, "I found this thing and I wanna show you the thing" and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just not an essay. Just because a video goes for longer than 5 minutes, doesn't mean it's an essay!!! I'm kinda annoyed at how the essay as a form is getting lost. A lot of people calling themselves video essayists are not actually making essays and as an essay enjoyer I am annoyed by this and think people need to call a long form video a long form video rather than calling all of them essays!!

Thinking about AMFMN Missa.

Thinking about how he tries, again and again, to be strong. Tries to refuse to be bothered by the fact that the person he's looking at wears his husband's face but isn't his husband. Tries to be willing and ready to fight him despite knowing it'd be his husband's body he's hurting. Tries to keep his composure in front of Chayanne and Tallulah just like their Papa Phil does. Tries not to let himself be overwhelmed by the fact that in order to get his husband back, he has to beat a GOD.

But every time he gets ready, every time he steels himself, every time he's braced for a fight and prepared to hurt Phil's body for the sake of saving him, something happens that knocks down his resolve instantly and sends him spiraling all over again, restarting the process of grief.

And every time that "something"— The moments Phil breaks through in a moment of clarity, the moments he can't shake seeing his husband's hands being the ones doing harm to him and their friends, the sight of Phil's body struggling so badly with housing a god it shouldn't be harboring —knocks him back down, he gets angrier. Angrier at himself for being so easy to crack. Angrier that as soon as he's prepared to do what he has to to save Phil, something else breaks his heart. Angrier that he's a grim fucking reaper, arguably the strongest person on the island because of it, yet he can't do shit when it matters most.

And then FINALLY, when things finally reach a head, he just SNAPS. But the worst has to happen before he does.

I am so unbelievably excited to write far enough into the fic for people to actually see what I mean by this. I am SO happy with how I've planned Missa's character in AMFMN.

#omg i didnt think this would blow up what #i think i understand what phil means now by not being able to comprehend how many people like a thing you do fjskfnsnf
