it's so sad that the people weren't ready for a game about the fucked up social and emotional dynamics of a group of weird little girls presented to us through the warped perspective of a traumatized young woman reminiscing on her repressed memories in a non-linear fashion using the flowery language and aesthetics of fairytales because that was the frame of reference her young mind used to process and understand this whole depressing mess at the time. i just know so many of us would eat that shit up nowadays if it were a recent indie game release :/

#rule of rose #no joke though i do think rule of rose was ahead of its time. as in the type of story it's telling is more well received today

I HATE RICKS BACKSTORY SO FUCKING MUCH

#IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!! #its soooo obviously just so hes easier to digest and woobify by both the writers and the fandom. its so obviously not planned ahead. ITS BAD #rick goes from being a sad character as in. heres this adult senior man whos only real close confidant is his 14y/o grandson #who he is regularly verbally abusive to because he needs that sense of control in his life after existing in a multiverse that has forced- #pop nihilism onto him as a survival strategy. THIS IS PATHETIC AND IT MAKES HIM A COMPELLING CHARACTER!!! #but then they take seadon 3s meme joke not serious backstory that is so obviously making fun of that trope and theyre like #lets make it canon. actually. wouldnt that be cool #to me its reminant of like when fandoms take a stupid mocking joke thats made in passing and misinterpret it as sincere #UUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH #AND FUCKING DIANE!!! IS COMPLETELT ROBBED OF ANY CHANCE TO BE A CHARACTER AND EXIST OR DO ANYTHING!!! #SHE ONLY EXISTS SO THE AUDIENCE CAN SYMPATHISE WITH RICK #thats the only reason for this backstory. so that rick is sad and you feel bad for him because his life sucks actually #hes recontextualized from a character who is ultimately his own biggest weakness into a character who just had a tough time. #dont you just feel so bad for him

(and let's not forget:)

#it had to be done #I feel like its so obvious maybe its actually been done before #but even if so - it deserved to be done a second time #also #what if I make this a shirt and wear it to the gig I go to #okay no; too small. #what If I make a banner of this and hang it up on the barrier in the front if the gig I go to 😌 #that'd be fun #anyway #felt a little bitter thinking about all my faves being excluded for AM so I went ahead and poured that rage into a meme #that's how you live in the internet #kisses to you all #// #my posts #Arctic Monkeys #The Car tour #lil jokey jokes

[gourmet-trash]

i know i'm not the first person to say this, but i've been seeing more of it than usual lately so it feels like it bears repeating:

don't put things like "this is so bad" or "i suck at summaries" or "sorry this is terrible" in your fic tags or summaries.

even if you FEEL like what you've written is bad, don't advertise that! even if you think your summary isn't good, don't call that out! you are convincing people that's the truth before they have even been given a chance to make that decision for themselves!

something i learned in a few public speaking courses/workshops i've been in over the years that i find oddly relevant to this topic is: do not apologize. specifically if you're giving a presentation and you say something incorrectly or you skip a data point - don't apologize! when you notice it, just calmly correct yourself or go back and cover the point you missed. you shouldn't say "sorry" if you can avoid it.

why? because people don't NOTICE that you've flubbed a lot of the time UNTIL YOU CALL IT OUT. they don't even think twice about it unless you make a big deal out of it. but when you make a big deal out of it, then it becomes A Thing. then that's something people remember about your presentation.

when you highlight that something is wrong or needs to be apologized for, you're putting that frame around the situation. saying "this is bad" out the gate primes someone to agree with you. saying "this is OOC" tells someone to be looking for the things that are OOC that they may not have really noticed at first.

i know for a lot of people who are new to writing, getting some positive feedback or a little validation on their work is the thing that makes you want to KEEP WRITING. but tags like "this is awful" make a lot of people automatically scroll past your story. you are depriving yourself of the opportunity to get that motivation if you're shoving your readers away before they ever show up! and you're steering away people who may genuinely enjoy your work by convincing them before they've even started reading that it isn't worth their time.

stop fucking doing that, little writerlings.

and if you're REALLY worried about it?? you're REALLY afraid people are going to hate what you wrote and leave flames in the comment box (i am so fucking old)?? make a burner account. post that shit anonymously. you might be surprised by the feedback you actually get.

#i know there's also the whole 'if you don't like your work why would someone else' argument #which is valid in its own way! #but most of the time these tags and comments read like people who are just worried about what people will say about their fic #so they're trying to get ahead of the imagined insults #or they're fishing for someone to swoop in and go nooo it's great! #i think most of us writers have our fair share of joking-not-so-joking self degradation #but there's a difference between “why did i stay up until 3am writing THIS?” #or even “i'm not super happy with this chapter but i can't hold up the story anymore over it” #and “I SUCK THIS IS BAD DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO READ IT” #be gentle with yourselves little writerlings #i know it's my go to writing tag but i mean this: #writing is hard #don't make it harder than it already is by doing this stuff #ao3 #fanfiction #fanfic #writeblr #gourmet trash talk

nothing like hanging out with new coworkers and finding out their number one brand of humor is just Racism 🙃

#or any other brand of ism #vent ahead #like i can tell that none of them are doing it in hate but fucking hell it's annoying me #its so much 'edgy middle schooler humor' like just trying to say the worst thing to get a reaction #nothing ive heard was even remotely clever #not that that would make it okay but it's like DAMN okay so you're racist and lazy #sorry for the rant im just annoyed and dreading this being the work environment all the time #my job has a reputation for being edgy on purpose but at the last location it wasn't like this #it was just roasting each other or making murder jokes #i feel like this takes it too far and for literally no reason but to try and get a cheap reaction #and it's also disheartening because i loved joking around with coworkers at the last place but i refuse to play along with this bs #and im not sure if i can bring it up without being labelled a wet blanket and basically becoming ostracized so uh #guess ill just take the slow route and not ever laugh or pretend i don't get it so they have to uncomfortably explain the joke #not whump #rant post

#this girl was joking about another girl in my batch fasting on karvachauth for her boyfriend and it was the light jokes so it was okay #but then she said why is she doing it her caste is completely different from his her parents would kill her #and that how college relationships are only for time being until you're in college and you're there for each other's support #and that nothing in college couples is that serious and they may turn out just good friends in future #and there's no reason to worship your love because it's just 'casual'??!! #ive so many feelings and a little heartbreak #ive already tried thinking about future but you know it 2ould just spiral me and thinking tha ahead doesn't make sense know #logically speaking she's right that we can go through SO MANY changes during the college years and no one knows anything ahead #but idk like i love him its not just oh im in college and ive got a boyfriend to get my nights busier and go on silly pretend dates #i didn't date anyone for nineteen years because i just wouldn't date anyone #its just surprising me as well how i came here so clueless and how everything led to each other and then into us #and i don't say stuff like marriage and kids because that's too huge. just too huge right now to think off #and that's also a way of keeping myself humble #and i would love love love to think about a future too not just yet it's too quick and im okay understanding everything rather than diving #but what she said. is so um its messing with my brain #ofc im not letting it over weigh me not at least from a person who's with multiple seniors #sends all her money to her so called youtuber bf #and goes to private places with some other guy #who's in everything for casual #but i don't know what im supposed to do with it right now #playing around my head #or maybe i should just trust the process

Astronomy Day & International Day of Radiant Peace & National Bakery Day

Person A is human baker who takes intergalactic requests for baked goods from the space station mall they are located in. Person B is a wealthy alien who comes in with an unusual request, a cake to bring to their peace treaty talks, but the key ingredient is a radioactive substance, but Person A tries to explain that working with radiation is harmful for humans and their cake will cost extra due to hazardous material pricing.

Do you recommend The Brittas Empire? I gave the first episode a go and found it kind of boring lol

I wouldn't not recommend it, but if you found the first episode boring it likely won't appeal. It has its moments, but it's not a particularly exciting show and definitely gets a bit one-note and repetitive sometimes. I've mostly been watching it for nostalgia - it's the first show I remember watching as a kid that explicitly had a regularly featured gay male couple in it, which was pretty huge for a sitcom in the 90s. It's not a bad show by any means, but not really a standout.

#albertmasonry #the fact that tim and gavin were just.... explicitly a couple and it was never a joke is pretty far ahead of its time tbh #The Joke is never that theyre gay its that brittas hasnt fuckin noticed even tho theyve been together the whole time hes known them #honestly as good as chris barrie is at what he does its the supporting cast that make the show #carol and helen my beloved disaster women.........

[quinintheclouds]

Dorothea Gillim really went "I want to make a show that's so funny I'd unironically watch it, but for kids. I know! I'll hire writers from Family Guy, The Onion, and SNL!"

Add some A List voice actors and let them riff a bit, and that's how you get the chaotic satirical shitposty masterpiece that is WordGirl

#wordgirl #quinpost #seriously her goal was for the comedy to be the main thing and it's so funny my guy #I mean the show is self-described as satirical and a parody... and the 4th wall is practically non existent lmao #they're just like let's make a crazy plot with amazing characters and comedy as a priority and then add some vocab #like I'm sorry but this is 10x better than family guy; y'all are getting praised for the wrong show XD #no wonder it was my favorite show as a kid.... rewatching it was such a good decision #like I knew the show was hilarious as a kid but as an adult I'm able to see SO MUCH MORE bc I get the satire now #it's so meta and self-aware #ahead of its time truly #if it came out today it'd be so big on tumblr lmao #ok but why do we treat PBS Kids shows as less than cable shows? #like they're targeted to the same age but one happens to be educational #(and free.... hmmmmmmmm) #you know how many words I learned from wordgirl that weren't even featured words? they just use them and you pick em up from context clues #one of the earliest featured words was 'cumbersome' and man I used that word so much as a kid bc of it XD #they never should've taught me flabbergasted though; i still use that one all the time hgjkl;' #i'd actually forgotten what 'stimy' meant so my rewatch actually taught me a word at age 24 sdfghj #and I read the dictionary more than once as a kid #see? it IS possible to make kids shows that DON'T talk down to kids!! It's written like it's adults watching; just that the jokes are clean #cannot recommend enough; it deserves the attention it's getting and more

Everyone complaining about the new swoc (snow white of color) but trick r treat did it first and nobody said a damn thing

#happy halloween #snow white #disney #jokes a better comparison would be nobody saying a damn thing about kristen stewarts brown hair and pale lips in her snow white #BUT I’m not here to make good comparisons I’m here to spread trick r treat propaganda #I mean some fairy tale girlies complained a little but it was never An Issue yknow ? #at least rachel checks two out of three boxes. but apparently the skin color is the most egregious change out of the three #and she’s not even that dark! not that that would matter to me but like an actress 3 foundation shades down is enough to cause outrage?? #these ppl could never handle the lunar chronicles. truly ahead of its time #do I think the movie will be good? no. but it’s not the actress that’s making it look bad #at least in the movie itself. ik she’s said some shit in interviews but I don’t care #I want the movie to speak for itself we’ll get there when we get there #my words

RETURN TO ME MY BOY. RETURN HIM TO ME #BRING ME THE BOY #red dwarf #stupid smegging writing on stupid old tv shows #it is NEVER a good sign when a comedy show is like AND NOW WE WILL DO JOKES ABOUT MEN'S PRISONS #honestly so much of the show is timeless or even ahead of its time it is so annoying when they date themselves in a bad way #but hey. it came out 15 years before supernatural and it is 5000% better than that so... #in terms of selective canon erasing a few bad jokes is much easier than... needing to basically mentally rewrite the whole show XD #i have Trained For This Day. #by all that bisexual Dean Winchester and his husband Castiel has taught me #grumble grumble grumble grumble #ALL I WANT is a gay retelling of the series is that SO MUCH TO ASK #man #dave lister is so hot what is wrong with me #i am attracted to like 4 people a year and this year one of them is fictional character David Lister #NOW PUT.
