I am never inclined to make fun of tumblr's cheesy attempts to make money and generally support them even if you consider them cringe. Websites need money to operate and tumblr needs to find a way to make money consistently or it will cease to exist. I do not want tumblr to cease to exist, and the most common alternative method of making money is to collect and sell all of our personal data, which I do not want either. Websites that can support themselves via people willing to spend $25 bucks to commit to a bit is a sign of a brighter and more sustainable version of the internet.

#people are so weirdly averse to the idea of tumblr making money lol #like...websites need money to pay for things. your blog costs money to host and operate #the version of the world u want--where everything is perfectly free always but also never takes your data or asks anything of you #does not and cannot exist unless it's run on donations or something #and if tumblr tried to ask for donations you would eat them alive #so let them sell crabs and blue checks. this is the better universe. i promise

Ted Wheeler sees the Byers and says, “Thank god you folks are back. Between the two of these kids, I thought I was going to have to take out a second mortgage just to afford my phone bill,” and has absolutely no idea the chaos he has just unleashed.

#I’ve probably made this joke before but it’s my fav Ted Wheeler headcanon #fun fact I had to research for this post: even if the byers ain’t answer it still would have cost hella money if he was calling all the time #and mans had to call the phone operator to make the call long distance #he was putting in the work #byler #mike wheeler #i know what you are #will byers #stranger things

my least favourite thing from the watcher discourse has been people saying “WE never asked for higher quality” or “your most popular shows are where you just sit around and talk!!” - babes its likely not what THEY want to do for the rest of eternity lol. they’re allowed to want to grow as creatives and make things they are proud of?

#like i absolutely didn’t agree with their move to a paid model platform but this response isn’t the criticism u think it is #that and also the continious shit i saw about steven owning a tesla #like babes its HIS money? he’s allowed nice things and upgrades in his life lol? #AND the stuff about them making 100k from patreon with eat the rich comments #100k per month likely doesn’t cover all operating costs like you guys r thinking it does #they likely didn’t want to keep doing ad reads that interrupted their content structure and how they THEMSELVES percieved its value #as a former business major tho i def think even a little bit of market research could have stopped this lol #respectfully no one wants to pay for another thing #and the communication on it was unfortunately shit #but its not that big of a mistake that we tear em down like this #watcher #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim

One of the things that I was always a little confused about was how Mei Nianqing describes that over the centuries, as Jun Wu watched Xie Lian during his second banishment, he 'calmed down' from the displeasure of Xie Lian failing to meet Jun Wu's expectations in Lang'er Bay. Why would he calm down, watching Xie Lian? After all, he was suffering, sure, but we can see from Yong'an and Banyue that he was still living in accordance with his principles, standing strong despite his experiences. What made Jun Wu think that what he was seeing was a sign that Xie Lian, upon ascending and witnessing the sins of the gods up close and personal, would finally give in and become the second White No-Face?

And I realized that, just like he does across the entire series, he was probably projecting on Xie Lian, wasn't he? He probably thought (or, decided to believe) that deep down, each indignity Xie Lian suffered built up resentment and frustration, that he bargained with himself at every hardship, that he was struggling not only physically but also mentally. Surely a man like that would falter, to see that such indignities continue even among the gods.

And I wonder if this is perhaps a look into Jun Wu himself. Is this a sentiment Jun Wu developed over the years, accustomed to hiding away all the ugly and angry pieces of himself, waiting until he was alone to let them out? Or is this perhaps a sentiment that he always carried, deep down? Even as a prince, did he feel some little niggle of resentment when things didn't go his way? When soldiers killed civilians to take their land? When worshipers turned away but still expected to benefit off of him?

When his friends said he'd changed, to suggest human sacrifice, had he truly? Or was he simply finally showing a part of himself that he'd never expressed before? One that grew stronger the more he endured, but that had always been there, deep down?

Or maybe Jun Wu didn't think any of this at all, and he just wanted to see Xie Lian crack, one way or another. But I wonder if we can read deeper into this than that.

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven officials blessing #xie lian #jun wu #illuspeaks #i think that by book 5 he was also operating under a sunk cost fallacy #like 'ive spent too much time on this to turn back- xianle is doing what i want no matter what he thinks about it' #considering he does basically just. give up at the end. and xie lian speculates on that #but he has a major issue with projecting on xie lian #so i wonder if this sort of underlying resentment is something that #well. jun wu definitely has it now. but i wonder if he had those sorts of feelings as a prince too #i like highlighting xie lian and jun wu's differences because it really accents how blind jun wu's actions were

Thinking about afraid of the dentist!Bruce and like

Bruce Wayne's dentist seeing all the #DoTheButtsMatch twitter trends and wanting so fucking badly to violate HIPPA and join in like

(ID in alt)

Because 1) honestly she loves the man but FUCK it's so annoying. She'd take a bitey toddler patient actively throwing a tantrum over Bruce Wayne any day, I mean she understands nervous patients because the man is so damn eccentric to boot she's never sure what kind of response to prepare for,

and 2) look, dental records are so very, very specific. Like ,"legally acceptable to identify the body" kind of specific. So she ALSO would absolutely know that Bruce Wayne very much is the Batman, so it would be the same level of trolling as the Wayne kids.

#brucie wayne #batfam twitter #batfam #batman #bruce wayne #bcause dentistry can exactly just be Field Medic'ed like some iterations have him avoiding the doctor and just having Alfred patch him up #theyve GOTTA have a dentist who's In The Know #and she is Tired #she could probably close her practice up and live off of just the operating cost of fixing the batfam's teeth #but Wayne had a program set up so she could offer free of charge services to local families im exchange for her discretion so #because dentistry CANT*

"Let people enjoy things" vs "let people criticize things" is incredibly tedious for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that these things are not actually contradictory.

#in most cases it costs you nothing to let specific people just enjoy a song or episode or [fill in the blank] without patronizing lectures #it also costs you nothing to let people analyze the operations of media and culture without butting in about the lore or whatever #like ... i know people really want this to be about how other people are engaging w/ media the wrong way #but basic consideration for others and not being an intrusive asshole covers a lot of ground here actually #anghraine babbles #general fanwank #anghraine rants

A lot of people are saying that Jake English is incredibly emotionally intelligent but not enough people are actually using it. By "not enough people" I mean everybody should use it always. He's so good at getting what he wants that every time he's refused something the person who dared to do so is wrecked with guilt for 4-5 business days. His actions are always justified and one time Jane reprimanded him he was so visibly upset and guilty she felt horrible for weeks. Everybody is on his side in every argument even if he's not doing anything. He knows things about people that are impossible to know and when Rose confronted him he said he just kinda stumbled upon said things accidentally. It's physically impossible to not do things he wants you to do and not be in place he wants you to be. Only person to match him is Karkat but after the single most explosive movie night they are cautionary allies and don't use their powers on each other. Let Jake weaponize his intelligence to a ridiculous extent.

#homestuck #jake english #he knows how his friends operate and using it to avoid them at all cost #he's an accomplished ceo in beta universe! he's a force to be reckoned with! #but social anxiety is actively kicking his ass #he's been nerfed :(

What do you think about how most people summarize orv's themes as love. I saw one of your reblogs about how it's too simplified for other works?

my general opinion is that saying "x is about love" is usually too damn vague as an analysis. while love is not a universal emotion (shoutout to loveless aros,) it's a common enough human experience that I really think that you need to specify what ABOUT love is being explored. is this a work about the depths of love? is it about the transformative potential of love? there are a thousand different ways love can manifest, and about a billion different ways a story can offer insight on the nature of love. I think it doesn't do justice to a story if you're not specifying what exactly it has to say about love.

all that out of the way, yes. many of orv's major themes are about love. specifically, it relates the love a reader has for a story to the love that a person can have for another human being. a story, like a person, can contain depths unknown to both author and reader - it is impossible to ever reach a complete understanding. there is always some element that will be impossible to communicate. something left hidden behind a wall.

but you can love that story, that person, anyway. you can offer your own interpretations, and try to understand as best you can. and the love and effort you put in matters deeply. the way that you can affect other human beings, specifically, matters deeply. even if it seems like your efforts will never reach that person, even if they are justifiably hurt by your efforts, even if your interpretations are wrong, even if you are the sole reader of a story. it matters that you were there and tried to love it as best you could.

orv also has a lot to say about love, self-sacrifice, and salvation. kim dokja's love of the story and his companions is a major motivator to why he destroys himself over and over. it's paralleled to his own mother, who sacrificed herself for his sake, and who he resented all his life and yet can't stop making the same choice when it comes to the safety of others. that sort of love and salvation hurts as much as it saves. it's as selfish as it is selfless. it's the same choice his companions make in order to get him back. they love him. they would be able to live with his resentment and guilt if it meant he would survive.

kim dokja's love for yoo joonghyuk, specifically, is both selfish and selfless. it is his love for yoo joonghyuk that was (unintentionally) responsible for much of yoo joonghyuk's suffering. the choices kim dokja makes out of love are what mitigate yoo joonghyuk's suffering, and eventually are what allows him to free himself from his eternal cycle. again, it is the love a reader has for a story, and the way that a reader both craves conflict and craves for the characters they love to overcome it.

it is the same love that drives yoo joonghyuk and han sooyoung to repeat the cycle again, as a choice this time. selfishly and selflessly. han sooyoung damns the world to apocalypse because she wished to save kim dokja's life. yoo joonghyuk chooses both regressions and his time in space to grasp at the chance to keep kim dokja alive. neither of their choices is guaranteed to save him. they know that. love alone isn't enough to save someone. but they make this choice because they love him, knowing that he would hate the choice. they create the story together because they want their sole reader to be understood by it.

and that's the end theme of orv's meditations on love and the nature of stories. if you love a story enough that it saves you... well, perhaps it's possible that the story, too, loves you back.

none of this is easy to describe in a sentence. I agree that it's probably easier to just say "orv is about love?" but I wish more people identified it further beyond that, since that usually is where the discussion just stops. I find orv's discussions on love to be some of the most compelling presentations on the topic that I've ever seen in fiction, and I like discussing it! i want to treat it with the complexity that it deserves.

#narrates #orv #see even with THIS long post I don't think I've captured everything orv has to say about love #it's a gigantic fucking novel and has SO MANY THEMES #also imo. when people say 'x is about love' it does often come at a cost of dismissing other themes in a work #in addition to either simplifying or straight up misrepresenting the work's actual depiction of love #which is why I tend not to enjoy it as a type of analysis. at least when it's expressed without much complexity or nuance #however i will say that I have seen some good posts on orv's handling of love lmao. i don't mean to say they aren't out there #or that they're not operating under the same level of specificity that i prefer #just that I personally want to always keep the conversation specific and complex whenever I get asked about it!

As funny as the trolley problem and the suffering builds character memes are (and I do love them), I personally think it ascribes a belief to Miguel he doesn’t explicitly hold in the text.

“Bad things are gonna happen; it makes us who we are.“ is a line that belongs to Peter B. Miguel doesn’t even approach the idea to Miles of this model justifying the suffering it perpetuates, even if it’s an understandable byproduct because of what this model asks you to swallow, what it asks you to concede.

Why would he claim that suffering builds character? The one time he believes he defied fate, it backhanded him so hard he’s still reeling from the trauma, and it took at least 8 billion lives as collateral including Gabriella. What did that suffering teach him but a despairing submission to fate?

To Miguel’s understanding of what happened, there’s not even a trolley problem. It’s “you accept the terms fate deals you, or it will destroy everyone - including those you wanted to save - regardless”. His perspective is far more aligned to utilitarianism and fearing that massive human cost happening again, more than it is morally justifying why the canon operates as it does.

#atsv #miguel o’hara #tunes talks spiderverse #that man is in the terminal despair vortex guys #the very fact Miguel doesn’t question why his understanding of the canon operates as it does #serves to doublebind him back into his sunk cost fallacy thinking #he can’t turn back because it would make the costs worthless. and to question the canon would be to invoke what happened to him when he #tried to defy fate #<- all of this is to his mind I mean #the actual details areeeeeee complicated and don’t make complete sense. but I understand WHY he ignores those inconsistencies #because incredible recent trauma (within the past couple MONTHS) and to examine would be to make the sacrifices meaningless #not trying to dunk on Peter either. it’s just lots of different people trying to make sense of what they believe is a terrible but #necessary sacrifice to save the universe.
