competence and cringe
Have you ever heard of the 4 stages (or quadrants) of competence? They're a useful way of looking at your skills on a spectrum.
unconscious incompetence - you don't know what you don't know. You lack a skill, but you also lack any information about what that skill requires and so you don't know that you're bad at it because you don't know what good looks like. Ignorance is bliss.
conscious incompetence - you know what you don't know. You've learned enough about the skill now to be able to identify all of the pieces you lack. You can see all of the places were you need to work and improve. Knowledge is pain.
conscious competence - you know, but you need to think. You have the skill now, but you still need to think about it in order to do it well. You've improved to the point where all of the pieces work well together, but you still need to concentrace to make it all smooth. Mindfulness is key.
unconscious competence - you forget how much you know. The skill is so solid and practiced that it feels natural to you now. You don't even notice anymore all of the different pieces that make up the skill because they all work together so well that it feels like one action. There is no thought, only do.
I was thinking of this model today with respect to cringe and I think a lot of the same concepts apply.
unconscious enjoyment - You like a thing wholeheartedly and uncritically. It is wonderful and you love it and you can't get enough of it.
conscious dissatisfaction- You've been introduced to concepts of critically engaging with media. You've learned harmful tropes and stereotypes. You see the kinds of media that get praised by your peer group or by others you look up to. You want to "enjoy better" and like things that others find valuable. You are ashamed of your earlier, uncritical self. You cringe looking back at them or others who are like them.
conscious satisfaction - You feel that you still like something even though other people say it's problematic, and you still give yourself permission to enjoy it as long as you acknowledge all of its faults while you do. You miss the days of being able to like things without thinking about them so much or feeling guilty. You cringe now at how black and white you thought things were during your conscious dissatisfaction stage.
conscious enjoyment - You realize that interest and enjoyment are not moral compasses. You know that all media has its faults, that no creators are without their issues. You learn more about your own tastes and what you actually like, as opposted to what you think you should like. Looking back at yourself, the cringe is fainter. You have sympathy for past-you and maybe even a fondness. You don't enjoy unconsciously anymore, but you don't always feel the need to analyze every aspect anymore.
As always, I'm working my way through these concepts as I type them out into a tumblr post. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them!

i’ve started to think about ao3 audience interaction as kinda comparable to doing a live reading in an intimate little bookstore, like kudos are everybody who stayed til the end and applauded, comments are everybody who waited to come up to talk to you afterwards, and bookmark comments are the little snatches of conversation you overhear outside.
this helps me feel better/less anxious about responding to comments with some form of thanks, because if someone walked up to me in person and said they liked my work right after reading it, i would compulsively say thanks. it also helps contextualize audience size in a healthy way i think, bc most of us naturally crave more attention on our fic, but if we were actually in the room with even like 20 people applauding and five people waiting after to tell us how awesome we are we’d be fuckin elated.

Zexal Month: Redesign (Nistro)
Tumblr media
For this month I decided to do a few redesigns for Zexal Month and I decided to start with Nistro.
Actually, I have no issue with Nistro’s canon design and this is definitely one of the designs that I wanted to do for fun. I really like Nistro as a character, I think he’s really fun and I just really like his look. His Giant coat with orange fur is absolutely my favorite thing about his original design.
So for the redesign I went ahead and played around with what I thought would suit Nistro and his story best. He’s Heartland’s left hand man and an enforcer for the WDC. In this redesign, The outfit shown is an alternate design of what he wears when he enters the carnival himself.
When I was figuring out what to do with this design, I was thinking in terms of his relationship with Mr. Heartland, His role in Heartland City, and how he moves on from there. I figured that the clothes he’d be wearing would be dark, intimidating, and have a clean silhouette in the beginning when he’s first seen; It’d be a contrast to Mr. Heartland who’s ostentatious and colorful. 
Then when he joins the WDC so he could battle Yuma again, He sorta distances himself from Heartland’s control and reignites poorly smothered sparks inside him and he dons a striking flame jacket that intimidates his opponents and challenges Heartland. 
After the Tower fall and Dextra and him escape, he’s free of Heartlands control and dresses more casually with a triadic color scheme to match his newfound success as a wrestler.

“Ao3 needs an algorithm” no it doesn’t, part of the ao3 experience is scrolling through pages of cursed content looking for the one fic you want to read until you get distracted by a summary so cursed that it completely derails your entire search
