times are tough -- please take this work of utter self indulgence in the midst of my finals! two worlds collide, out of pure character-design-enjoyment convenience :)
while I'm at it, wanted to get my thoughts down: I just finished apotheosis! may just be post-finale feelings, but it is 100% my favorite campaign. everyone absolutely KILLED it. would not recommend listening to episodes 10-14 in a day, though -- unless you wish for utter mental turmoil. many thoughts, and no adequate words yet... however, MANY images! hope to get around to drawing some related things soon.

'I personally don't like this ship because I prefer this other ship' = a normal attitude to have/thing to say on your own blog/account/spaces
'I prefer this other ship so I must prove that it is MORALLY SUPERIOR to your ship and also the ONE CORRECT SHIP and you all are therefore WRONG and also STUPID for shipping that other thing, which I will now be reminding you of constantly. Also, as evidence for why I am right I will be slandering and mischaracterizing all of your favs <3' = please work on yourself

i feel like a lot of Discourse (read: fandom wank) happens in places that have forgotten or never learned the death of the author theory
(which i know is not sacrosanct but it is very useful for handling fandom spaces, particularly fraught ones)
for those who don't know, the death of the author theory goes like this: as far as the work is concerned, the author dropped dead the second that the final word was published, and thus cannot comment, object to, clarify, or expand on anything that is not on the page.
my understanding is that it's most strictly used to mean that that the author's interpretation of the work doesn't matter, but can be expanded to state that nothing which is not on the page matters. imo, the expanded definition is particularly useful for fandoms and needs to be adopted on a larger scale.
because what it means is this:
it doesn't matter what the creator(s) intended. it doesn't matter what they said in an interview. it doesn't matter what the actors think, it doesn't matter what supplemental materials say or imply, even if they're signed off on by the creator(s). it doesn't matter if everyone involved in making it hates your interpretation and says that it's wrong.
they don't get to say that it's wrong. they dropped dead the second the last episode/book ended. their interpretation is simply one more in a vast sea of others.
listen to me, fandom spaces. i am taking your face in both of my hands. embrace the death of the author. you will no longer be bound to the (possibly fickle) words of the creator(s), your interpretation can no longer be the wrong one. if the text can be used to support it in any way, even twisty ways, it's valid. you don't have to jump through hoops to defend it against haters who say you're wrong.
the death of the author. open your heart to it. live it. be free.

It's hard to tell
Whether
The world is getting worse
Or
I've grown and am growing up
As everything comes into focus
And I find
That Was has always been Is
#poetry#poem#original poem#growing up#the world we live in#I'm feeling pretty hopeless rn#not entirely hopeless#I wouldn't be here if all was lost#but if hope is a thing with wings#then I am clinging to it desperately#begging it not to fly away#or at least not to fly too far#it's so#so#hard#to look around#and see everything wrong with the world#and still recognize there is still good#that being here#and caring#genuinely giving a fuck#matters#that there is power compassion#however great#however small#that the powerful play goes on#and that the verse I contribute#will have impact#even if and when I can't see it#that all of this

not to be gretchen weiners about it, but do u think there is a way to make/force new words "happen"? this thought was originally inspired from thinking about neopronouns but it could be any number of things. any ideas ? (stop trying to make fetch happen !!)
there are definitely instances of "forced" lexical shifts! hell, in just recent decades we've had the change from "homosexual" to "gay" being the dominant mainstream moniker for that community/identity, partly in response to the pathologization associated with the former. i think the effectiveness of those changes depends a lot on who's innovating and what the target audience is.
