this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .

The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly

#polls #if it's friendly i might still reblog it if i like the content enough #but overall it definitely makes it less likely for me to reblog #as a creative person myself i get it #putting hours and hours of effort and inspiration into something only for it to get ... basically no response #that's frustrating #that's discouraging #but my feelings do not mean i get to demand that other people interact with my work in a certain way #if you put your work up somewhere it can be interacted with for free you cannot justly demand repayment #even in the form of interaction #morfinwen rambles in the tags

Just realized i had an incredibly weird dream where apparently the world had ended and Jesus had come back, but we were all just ... waiting for the judgment. And you could still read books and stuff, but all the "bad" parts had been taken out??

I mean, i had been reflecting earlier on my struggles to understand how both original sin and eternal hell can justly coexist, but this was not a good solution.

#morfinwen rambles #dreams are weird #personal #also God was just ... there?? but like the only thing i remember seeing was. a ball of glowing light or something #He was Very Busy getting ready for the next step i guess #oh that's right! i was interacting somehow with this streamer i listen to the most. who is also an atheist #he was pretty blasé about God actually existing and all his previous beliefs being unquestionably proven wrong

I'm sick of internet negativity, so let's combat it: reblog this and saying something nice/pay a compliment to the prev in the tags.

#you seem -- i wish i had a better word for this -- young in the best possible sense #sincere and open and enthusiastic about what you love #but not immature or childish or self-absorbed

Shout out to that one bluegrass album: i'm not sure i'd like you any more now that i'm an adult, but i'm sure hearing one of your songs would send me right back to grade school.

I've wanted to do this poll for a while. Why? I have no idea, but here it is so maybe my brain will shut up about it.

Songs underneath the cut.

^ Not really my style at first, but then you hit that fourth verse (terminology?) and wow!

^ This one hurts.

My favorite from the album from the beginning, though as a kid i misheard the line "salvation army band" as "salvation oughta be banned" and didn't understand why my mom was listening to it.

^ I didn't have a distinct memory of this one until i was adding it to my Spotify playlist. When i heard it again, i had to replay it at least once.

questions for today:

how do you respond to someone repeatedly praising how quickly you learn something by comparing you to your co-worker who apparently is a very nice person but not very good at her job

why have i been getting so many spam or telemarketing calls lately

Apologies to everyone i accidentally followed-then-unfollowed in my attempts to boop them.

Mostly agree. I think the disconnect between the OT and PT - to say nothing of the EU - is part of why i struggle to categorize my feelings on SW.

I don't think that makes it "intellectually dishonest" to use the prequels to interpret the OT, though - they are canonically the same story. It's not a story that makes sense, so there isn't One True Canon Interpretation that harmonizes them, but any sufficiently thought out rationalization is equally valid, whether you're interpreting the OT through the prequels, the prequels through the OT, or something else. I would say it's intellectually dishonest to try to argue that one's preferred interpretation is canonical, or even the most accurate, as Star Wars is the most contradictory grab-bag of themes, characterizations, world-building and morality that i've ever seen.

90% of Star Wars discourse only exists because the series has plot holes, inconsistent characterization and poorly thought out worldbuilding and George Lucas wrote the chronological 2nd half before the chronological 1st half without having decided on his own lore, so you can debate 'til you're blue in the face about whether the jedi are evil and Obi Wan is a liar and Yoda is a manipulator but the bare facts are that all these takes are just headcanons and fanon which exist to reconcile fundamentally contradictory stories. These takes are totally retconned into the Original Trilogy from a series that was written later and you cannot be intellectually honest while using the Prequels to inform your interpretation of the OT in any way, shape, or form. I said what I said.

#star wars #i participated! #there are far too many people out there on either side of the OT to PT interpretation battle #who will claim theirs is the *only* right way to interpret Star Wars #there is no right way to interpret Star Wars #only an infinite number of varying degrees of wrong ones
