Different anon from the one who summarized TSAMS here.

I just wanted to add on a detail because I personally think it’s important to Eclipse’s characterization.

Eclipse didn’t just make people hate Sun and Moon. He also made himself the hero and everyone’s friend. For example, in the false memory, Sun and Moon put the maternity chip into Roxy while Eclipse fixed her. Not only that, but he exaggerated the chaos of the wedding than how it was initially, if I remember right (ex. Sun almost killed Roxy).

In my opinion, this screams something different than if Eclipse just made everyone hate Sun and Moon. I think they might explore Eclipse’s loneliness and abandonment issues a bit more with this.

mmh MHH no no! dont tease me like this! -CRIES IN SPANISH- you make it sound soo cool!!!!! and interesting!!! BUT I KNOW.. I know.. they may rush this whole idea too.. just like Eclipse revenge and Sun arc.. but,,, if they dont, in fact, if they show now circles around Eclispe showing us show miserable the life of the brothers are, and his POV on how even after this, he feels empty.. then.. I may come back.. I may give it a try.. since, well.. Eclipse here is an interesting character.. the best one we have left (him and his Nice version? FOOD FOR THE SAD?? IS AMAZING!) so idk.. I may let the arc move on, evolve and.. if any Anon wish for tell me updates, im happy to listen and re think if I wanna be back..

#sams #my hopes are low #again loved the show but i dont wanan see it and be mad #I love the characters so much #im such a nerd for everyone but seeying the lack of logic hurts me #im pretty mediocre I know haha

Love reading your opinions on the characters and movie, it's refreshing to not see that repetitive hate and you make some good points

The discussions and others adding to that is also interesting

aww thank u anon! I just think these characters are so 3 dimensional it’s impossible to boil them down to one thing! isabela is the prissy oldest sister until you realize actually she’s not! luisa is the strong confident one until you realize no she’s not! These characters are so complex I just want to appreciate all of them!

I also love partaking in discussions and find your guys perspective interesting! It’s fun to dissect these characters and this story!

#encanto #encanto disney #disneys encanto #even the characters w 2 mins of screentime arent one note! #I love the characters so much #I truly believe the thing people want to see most in a potential continuation is characters and their interactions with eachother! #the movie has created such interesting dynamics and there’s still ones that haven’t been explored! #cough mirabel and camilo #cough dolores and Antonio #cough agustin and isabela #like me personally I do not want some half assed villain to take the magic if it means that’s the whole plot #like I would much rather a slice of life stuff #give me bruno learning to cook to bond with julieta! #give me grandkid sleepovers! #(we were robbed of the sisters sleepover concept) #give me alma growing and learninf but still having setbacks because healing from trauma isn’t a linear process!

Went to Cameo.

Got a personalized message from Keith Silverstein from Ulric, Brute and my favorite sadistic clown man Rascal.

Cried from listening to my childhood comfort character saying he was proud of me and calling me by name. Got recruited into the Bad End general group.

Cried harder from Keith saying he was proud of me too.

Drew a few lines from the message.

It’s been a single day and I’ve been viscously considering drawing out the entire message. I actually might, it makes me so happy. Decided to share my favorite clown man and the news with everyone else.

#glitter force rascal #rascal glitter force #glitter force #cameo #art #I love the characters so much #Brute didn’t understand what was going on but happy to see me #Ulric didn’t want to congratulate me but did regardless because he’s awsome #Rascal was Rascal and said he was proud #offered a team up and I got that wonderful maniacal laugh and a reference for Emperor Nogo #fuck yeah #and duh I’m teaming up with them! #those glitter gal pals won’t stand a chance against me!

Undertale is one of the best pieces of media ever made because I love most of the characters so much that I genuinely can't pick a favorite.

#like I love all of them so much #I love undyne #I love papyrus #I love sans #I love alphys #I love napstablook #I love toriel #I love mettaton #I know there's even more characters I love like mew mew and that transgender lion but I'm getting tired of listing them #undertale is so great #I love undertale so much #I love the characters so much #undertale #majora.txt

I am interested to know about The gravedigger and the beast.👀

of course! thank you for asking! the gravedigger and the beast, also known as hands in the deep dark earth is my nanowrimo project! it's a queer gothic romance following a lonely gravedigger and the monster that visits their graveyard at night, and it draws a lot on my own experiences with realising i was trans as a teenager. set in a victorian-esque society where magic is looked on with suspicion and fear, the story follows the gravedigger's slow realisation that they're capable of magic, and their gradual acceptance of it as a part of themselves that they can't change, even if it makes them something more like the monster in their graveyard than the ordinary people of the town. other characters include the jackalope-headed beast, upper-class society darling maria crawford, and lantern-maker emmeline underwood, whose choices in dealing with their own ties to magic will each affect the gravedigger's fate - and not always for the better.

i'll probably be posting a fair few snippets of this during nanowrimo, so please keep an eye out if this story sounds interesting to you!

please help me- i used to be pretty smart but i’m having so much trouble grasping the concept of diegetic vs non-diegetic bdsm!

gfkjldghfd okay first of all I'm sorry for the confusion, if you're not finding anything on the phrase it's because I made it up and absolutely nobody but me ever uses it, but I haven't found a better way to express what I'm trying to say so I keep using it. but now you've given me an excuse to ramble on about some shit that is only relevant to me and my deeply inefficient way of talking and by god I'm going to take it.

SO. the way diegetic and non-diegetic are normally used is to talk about music and sound design in movies/tv shows. in case you aren't familiar with that concept, here's a rundown:

diegetic sound is sound that happens within the world of the movie/show and can be acknowledged by the characters, like a song playing on the stereo during a driving scene, or sung on stage in Phantom of the Opera. it's also most other sounds that happen in a movie, like the sounds of traffic in a city scene, or a thunderclap, or a marching band passing by. or one of the three stock horse sounds they use in every movie with a horse in it even though horses don't really vocalize much in real life, but that's beside the point, the horse is supposed to be actually making that noise within the movie's world and the characters can hear it whinnying.

non-diegetic sound is any sound that doesn't exist in the world of the movie/show and can't be perceived by the characters. this includes things like laugh tracks and most soundtrack music. when Duel of Fates plays in Star Wars during the lightsaber fight for dramatic effect, that's non-diegetic. it exists to the audience, but the characters don't know their fight is being backed by sick ass music and, sadly, can't hear it.

the lines can get blurry between the two, you've probably seen the film trope where the clearly non-diegetic music in the title sequence fades out to the same music, now diegetic and playing from the character's car stereo. and then there are things like Phantom of the Opera as mentioned above, where the soundtrack is also part of the plot, but Phantom of the Opera does also have segments of non-diegetic music: the Phantom probably does not have an entire orchestra and some guy with an electric guitar hiding down in his sewer just waiting for someone to break into song, but both of those show up in the songs they sing down there.

now, on to how I apply this to bdsm in fiction.

if I'm referring to diegetic bdsm what I mean is that the bdsm is acknowledged for what it is in-world. the characters themselves are roleplaying whatever scenarios their scenes involve and are operating with knowledge of real life rules/safety practices. if there's cnc depicted, it will be apparent at some point, usually right away, that both characters actually are fully consenting and it's all just a planned scene, and you'll often see on-screen negotiation and aftercare, and elements of the story may involve the kink community wherever the characters are. Love and Leashes is a great example of this, 50 Shades and Bonding are terrible examples of this, but they all feature characters that know they're doing bdsm and are intentional about it.

if I'm talking about non-diegetic bdsm, I'm referring to a story that portrays certain kinks without the direct acknowledgement that the characters are doing bdsm. this would be something like Captive Prince, or Phantom of the Opera again, or the vast majority of bodice ripper type stories where an innocent woman is kidnapped by a pirate king or something and totally doesn't want to be ravished but then it turns out he's so cool and sexy and good at ravishing that she decides she's into it and becomes his pirate consort or whatever it is that happens at the end of those books. the characters don't know they're playing out a cnc or D/s fantasy, and in-universe it's often straight up noncon or dubcon rather than cnc at all. the thing about entirely non-diegetic bdsm is that it's almost always Problematic™ in some way if you're not willing to meet the story where it's at, but as long as you're not judging it by the standards of diegetic bdsm, it's just providing the reader the same thing that a partner in a scene would: the illusion of whatever risk or taboo floats your boat, sometimes to extremes that can't be replicated in real life due to safety, practicality, physics, the law, vampires not being real, etc. it's consensual by default because it's already pretend; the characters are vehicles for the story and not actually people who can be hurt, and the reader chose to pick up the book and is aware that nothing in it is real, so it's all good.

this difference is where people tend to get hung up in the discourse, from what I've observed. which is why I started using this phrasing, because I think it's very crucial to be able to differentiate which one you're talking about if you try to have a conversation with someone about the portrayal of bdsm in media. it would also, frankly, be useful for tagging, because sometimes when you're in the mood for non-diegetic bodice ripper shit you'd call the police over in real life, it can get really annoying to read paragraphs of negotiation and check-ins that break the illusion of the scene and so on, and the opposite can be jarring too.

it's very possible to blur these together the same way Phantom of the Opera blurs its diegetic and non-diegetic music as well. this leaves you even more open to being misunderstood by people reading in bad faith, but it can also be really fun to play with. @not-poignant writes fantastic fanfic, novels, and original serials on ao3 that pull this off really well, if you're okay with some dark shit in your fiction I would highly recommend their work. some of it does get really fucking dark in places though, just like. be advised. read the tags and all that.

but yeah, spontaneous writer plug aside, that's what I mean.

#I found their original stuff while I was researching various waterhorses and their folklore for no reason #because one of the characters in their original work happens to be an each uisge #and then it turned out it ALSO included a lot of figures from welsh folklore in general #so yknow if you happen to have my incredibly specific hyperfixations you'll love it but even if you don't it's great #I didn't mean to bring up phantom of the opera so much it just happens to be very relevant to a lot of my talking points #I haven't actually seen it in years
