#idk idgaf about the tags this was just an angry rant

People that make it a joke to be like: "Omggg the introductions to classic books are soooo annoying, why would they put so much of this useless shit here?" after they only started reading classics to be a part of the pretentious booktok fucks who read classics just to say they read them... Hi, pretentious fuck who always reads the introduction... It is literalllyyy a free literary analysis you dipshits. If you're reading some abstract shit, well it was written that way and people have been trying to read and interpret it since it was published. There is 200% popular explanations or theories of the plot there, if not straight up quotes from an authors diary/notes on their process and intentions for writing their novel (if those were left behind by the author). Fun facts, relevant historical context, translation deep-dives (which are fucking great btw, translation is an art and even the best translations will always lose something) and more. Honestly, people bragging about not reading it is like. ok fine whatever. To call it useless is just indicative that you are a VITCIM of the media comprehension crisis. If you're just going to parrot some rando from tiktok who summarized the plot (badly) in fortnite terms (do not recommend) read the fkn intro instead. If you're not going to try analyze the book yourself, or if you don't know where to start- read the intro!!!111!!! I am old enough (21. sarcasm.) to remember the time when the media lit crisis was in full swing before Lolita blew up on tiktok where people were making the most bare bones, surface level interpretations of it, calling the author and people who liked the book pedophilic. Saying they didn't know why it was a classic because it was just some old man's sick fantasy. I'm pretty sure there are old arguments on this blog of me trying to explain it to people. Nabokov was very open about the true meaning of his novel, there were many resources for people on and offline, plus the book that I had (not special, from library and then one from B&N) had an intro AND author's note. Yet people only got it when it was oversimplified for them on tiktok? Introductions are literally some nerd who was so obsessed with the author/book that you're reading that they who wrote something (barely anything usually, not a fucking lot) to help you understand the book better. Obviously, its meant to be supplementary and you can and should find your own meaning. Plus, usually for compiled works, the introduction are the guy(s) who made the fucking book, but ofc they are only credited in the intro (& copyright page) because they didn't write it. Surprise, people actually have to pick what works go into those types of books. Intros are usually just: "wow, I love this author so much that I did research on their entire life, read every single word they left on this earth, read 50 decades of analysis of their works and researched the era they lived in to understand why and what they wrote the wrote better, " and you mfs that don't even read it call it useless. fuck you. Oh and before anyone with -80 IQ reads this and gets upset, if you want to avoid spoilers for the 103935405739 year old book, read it after you finish the book...

#no i don't read classics just to say I read them #they are genuinely the only thing I am interested in reading outside of manga and some fanfiction #so as someone who isn't hopping on booktok trends... #this is what my hater ass has to say #“waaa don't insult your reader they will disregard what you have to say or they might not even finish reading” #idgaf #eat macroplastics bitch #I gen hate most of the creatures that populate booktok im not sorry #booktok #classic literature #idk idgaf about the tags this was just an angry rant #istg the next time i see a joke like this i will **** **** #yall will spoil a 2 year old movie without hesitation but won't read the intro to dante's inferno because “spoilers”. ok. #literally just read it after. USE YOUR BRAIN #longpost #like comment and subscribe for more hate rants #long ass post #this isn't me trying to be pretentious I gen just think more people would benefit from reading the intros #YA books #that tag is filled with p//n btw

cw swearing / rant

i am an ________ fictive and i genuinely hate the fandom sm.

like why do you have to repost proship shit on the maintags? its so fucked up. idgaf about proship folk or what they do as long as they stay in they corner (it triggers me to see it but like, if i don't see it posted on maintags and such i don't really care. i won't go searching for shit that upsets me.)

but that isn't good enough for the fandom! they have to dig and find proship shit to be upset about then post it all over the tags all angry like yea bitch no one wants to see that, put it away.

i once looked up my source on tiktok and literally every single video was "hey look at this proship art i found of ________!!" like !?? get that off the main tags, put it away, why do people force proship stuff into the eyes of other people? if you are chronically online enough to go looking for stuff to upset/trigger yourself, i hope you get better mentally. but don't then post that shit everywhere where people are just regularly gonna be! not everyone wants to be upset. people who do that are worse than proship in my opinion cuz at least if i see "proship" in a bio i know the account isn't for me, people like this have no indication or warning that they post triggering material. like all it is is posting proship shit with main tagging and no tws for your followers who probably aren't proship, how is that any different from who you hate?

sorry if this sounds hard to read i haven't fronted in a while. idk how big of an issue it is now, but it was once bad enough to make me go dormant. i don't want to see proship stuff. if you hate proship accounts do it without basically making yours into one.

Im not gonna tag my shameless posts this season because all my opinions are unpopular but I still wanna document for my own memz so

Frank ranting. Grand. Always been the worst part of the show and its still going on, and on and on. At first I wanted to watch the whole ep but I had to skip his bits

I’m not invested in Tami at all but I think what she was asking was fair enough so meh whatever. Lip is less of a dick these days but still a dick

The girls rolling joints - horrifying, not funny im sorry but who the fuck thinks that’s funny. It used to be that they were doing some kind of commentary on how poverty makes it hard to be a good parent but now they’re just like LOL child abuse ammiright

Debbie continues to be a terrible parent - aces

Another great Milkovich character wasted on a relationship with a gallagher. SIGH

The whole 5 times exchange is just so ick to me I cannot

Since when is Mick hanging around doing nothing. I mean maybe enjoying the luxury of a holiday/honeymoon for a while, sure, he deserves that - but six months? He was always aware of needing to run scams or do jobs to make money - who is this guy theyre writing now? 

Pet names also ick. And Im a sucker for a pet name but what are these choices??

Idgaf about any of the shit at the bar. Idc if they’re seeling weed or doing a  gym or whatever the fuck. Why the hell did those 2 characters fuck? What was the point of that?

WAIT WHERES LIAM? I’ve just realised that - where was he?

Carl’s story bores me I’m sorry. Fuck the police and fuck the idea Carl would want to be a cop. Let him achieve and get a good job yes absolutely amazing but why a cop?!

So they’re making Debbie being a sex offender a joke too? Amazing. 

Ian being a dick about Mickey to random people is still a thing and still shitty. Sick of it. 

Theyre SERIOUSLY gonna have a conversation about mongamy and 1. Suggest Mickey wouldn’t want that and 2. Not talk about the fact that Ian cheated the whole time they were together before?? REALLY? Just rewriting history as ever

Mickey is faithful as fuck he would not want an open relationship. We’ve never even seen him fuck other guys!! Who is this character? Nothing wrong with non-mongamy (hello britin) but it has to be in character and make sense. This doesn’t. It’d be fucking typical for them to go down that route tho

Trying to force a pilot callback in Frank’s voiceover. Sure whatever, fine. Why everyone is suddenly so smiley and happy idk

And the preview looks like more making Mickey out to be an idiot, at least two fistfights between a married couple and the shitty milkoviches getting more screentime then they deserve (ie ANY) plus other petty shit about gentrification and a beauty pageant - really taking advantage of your final season after 10 years there guys well done 

The good part is that I really don’t care anymore. Im going to watch it because I’ve invested the time but at this point I’m over the show and the ship - fanfic and my own AUs are better places to be. Its annoying what they’re doing, I would’ve genuinely been angry had they gone the non-monagmy jealous route for their last season but they didnt so I’m just mildly annoyed, rolling my eyes and completely unsurprised. 

The one positive I will say is that they managed to comment rightly on the issues of COVID and BLM while not being insensitive or pushing a negative agenda and keeping everyone in character. That wasn’t bad. 

#imma have to make a tag so I can find the posts huh #s11 rants #that'll do
