#beyond clarity
Text
I’ve realized that I equate being sanctimonious or even unnecessarily picky about spelling rules (North American versus the UK) with someone being over the age of 20 and being a picky eater
Oh wait! The picky eater is more valid.
#I hope the language dies faster#it’s one thing to tease your friend to get on their nerves for the sake of it#anyway from changing between styles and speeds and regional standards my ability to spell is destroyed#I actually used to be very good at it so I thought it was funny when people got up in arms about it or thought the standard mattered#beyond clarity#now I realize some people really do make the world’s smallest anthills into nuclear bombs#to any published book that has a spelling error in it:#I don’t fucking care#pay your editors more#and then pay them more even if they miss shit it doesn’t matter anymore#the only thing that matters is consistency in a work

no but i genuinely would be fascinated to see miguel drop his mentality of "the ends justify the means" and him and miles seeing eye to eye only for him to realise that miles is the exact kind of kid that he would have hoped his own daughter could have been. him facing miles after realising the extent of the horror that he inflicted upon him in not just his actions but his words. miles looks at him and sees a man beyond his limits and cannot hold any of it against him despite knowing that he has every right to hate him for what he did to him. miguel wishes he would hate him, because that would at least make the remorse easier to manage in knowing what he did to someone else's child
#spiderverse#spider man: across the spider verse#across the spiderverse#across the spider verse spoilers#miguel o'hara#miles morales#I dont know a lot about these characters beyond these movies but I just know that there is something that can be salvaged here#miguel is an asshole and I want to see him experience a wake up call that backhands him into finding the clarity to see what potential#the future can still hold for him. grief is not the end all be all and i think he should at least be given the realisation that his life#didnt have to end with the deaths of his family#mine

"How many legends of katabasis do we have, Ikora?"
"We currently have dozens of stories about descending to the realms of the dead, though research has indicated many more must have existed, lost in the layers of Human history we will never lay eyes on. Mathematically, there were likely hundreds."
"The return from the underworld, and Inanna cast off her veil... It makes sense. I did not understand, when I first felt clutching whispers. Carrying wisdom away from Kur when she strode into the sunlight again."

I'm glad the "Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize" meme is getting critiqued in its usage because... While the sentiment itself is absolutely true... I feel like sometimes, perhaps, it's not a work of fiction's fault that you're personally bad at picking up on satire
#im thinking about how i saw a person say futurama is bad because bad things still exist in the future#and its like. thats the point though?#the joke is literally the idea that if we never learn and grow from these problems as a society these are the hyperbolic extremes#that they would come to etc etc#do i think it was all well handled? probably not. it had a 14 year run im sure it fumbled lots of stuff and has shit that doesnt hold up#but i feel like dismissing it entirely based on just-#''but bad stuff happens. and i want the future to be better so this bums me out'' is just dumb LOL like thats literally the point#theyre taking the problems of today and making them into crazy hyperbolic extremes to mock them THATS WHAT SATIRE IS#there is a clarity of purpose youre just bad at picking up on it. NIXON WAS THE FUCKING PRESIDENT IN THAT SHOW FOR CHRIST SAKE#WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK ''AMERICA'S FAVORITE SUICIDE BOOTH SINCE ****2008****'' COULD MEAN?#idk. this site is bad media literacy r us why take it seriously. but i am. bc its frustrating#bc that quote on its own is sooooo good at explaining why some ''satire'' is bad and doesnt work#but ppl who dont know how to engage w media beyond a surface level have taken it and turned it into like#''this is bad bc i didnt get it'' ok. sounds like a you problem.#but posting this is scary bc im afraid itll be used for the other extreme .-.

I feel like a lot of people misunderstand the point of my analysis. It's not just random Rhysand bashing, because I bash and am critical of Tamlin on this account, too.
My point is that, as an abuse survivor and SA victim myself, I am telling you that Sarah J Maas ultimately FAILED to properly discuss the themes she attempted to cover in ACOMAF, by having the "heroes" be just as abusive as the "villains" whilst simultaneously trying to teach a lesson about why said villains are bad for being abusive. SJM tried to combine telling a lesson about abuse and red flags with a dark romantic fantasy, and because dark fantasies are inherently abusive it failed. So if the whole point of ACOMAF and the rest of the series bunk, and characters are retconned to the moon and back to even make ACOMAF happen and worldbuilding and characters continue to be retconned from book to book, then there's no real value to the rest of the series, there's no point in attempting to make sense of it, and it's probably best to just enjoy ACOTAR alone.
So that's what I do here, and why I can despise what Tamlin becomes and analyze his abuse like in this post, have no qualms about criticizing every character in this series (but especially RHYSAND), and simultaneously gush over Feylin and book 1.
#edited for clarity and reblogging because i have an influx of followers#acotar#its very freeing to no longer view ACOMAF and beyond as canon#no more doing mental backflips to make every single retcon fit together#acotar analysis

Its been forever since I posted a snippet of
BBC - The Fic
so here's a chunk from the next chapter. Hopefully i'll make some decent progress soon and be able to give you guys a ETA on part 2 release date.
“Alright, its ready.”
Donnie exited his lab with Casey’s replacement hockey stick. Only, what was in his hand didn’t look like a hockey stick. It looked like a flattened metal tube about eight inches long.
“Okay! Where is it?”
Donnie snorted, “Right here!” The tube suddenly grew in size, “It’s collapsible for easy carrying.”
“Woah…”
“I wish my swords had a travel size.”
“Nobody asked you, Leo.” Donnie replied as he held the weapon in front of them. “I reused several designs from my beloved but retired tech-bo. You have several different head and length options, as well as a biometric lock. Raph wouldn’t let me add the chainsaw option but you do still have a flame thrower and fire extinguisher-”
“IT HAS A FLAME THROWER?!” Casey interrupted as he took the tech-stick out of Donnie’s hands.
“Yes, it has a flame thrower. Please only practice with that in open areas.”
“Uh, Donnie,” Raph looked ready to pull the weapon out of Casey’s hands, “is giving him all these very lethal options a good idea? Does he even know how to use a flame thrower?”
Donnie scoffed, “It’s a flame thrower Raph, all you do is point and press.”
Casey curiously pushed one of the slide switches towards the butt of the stick. The standard hockey stick head was quickly replaced with a pitchfork.
“There’s slides and buttons. The buttons are hidden under grips and require force to push them, this is to stop any accidental firing. There are separate buttons for the flame thrower, extinguisher, and collapsible mode. One slide’s clicks determine the weapon head and the other the speed and intensity. Unfortunately I could not manage to add the snack feature and keep the collapsible length pocket sized-”
“Donald,” Casey cut in before Donnie could start using tech mumbo jumbo, “thanks. A lot. Its amazing.”
Mikey placed a hand on Casey’s shoulder and shook, “Please, please let me paint it.”
“Can you make it glow in the dark?”
“I can make it glow in the dark.”
#bbc the fic#hinacu wip#me writing the chapter outline: i can see every seen in perfect clarity#**scene#me now 6ish months later: i dont remember a thing beyond c3 going ''wow'' in gay. wtf am i gonna write#still really happy with chp17 but i wont drop a exerpt for that bc its pretty short

OC-tober Day 18: Swap
Had an idea I liked that I eventually realized I wouldn't have the time to fully complete, so here's the WIP that I may or may not return to at some point.
Anyway, yes, I did find a way to to still keep this prompt completely canon. Piper and Kryte just happen to be like that.
#art#digital art#ocs#oc-tober#bweirdoctober#App's art#Piper#Kryte#Shunari#MultiVerse Chronicles#October2023#OC-tober2023#for clarity Piper is yellow and Kryte is blue#still largely undecided on Piper's design beyond general color scheme#despite the fact that there's art of these 2 from 2020 on this blog#that's why Piper is just a bit less polished than Kryte#that and I'm just currently tired#but hey this is technically unfinished so whatever

Also if u can't make a joke without getting upset when someone takes the stated premise of your joke as reflective of some given truth then you're not actually making a joke
#finally!#a rubric for satire beyond 'satire requires a clarity of purpose' etc etc#one might call it an imminent critique of imminent critique

There’s just something about how he sings that very specific part
#will wood#music#does anybody else understand?#honestly most of his songs are like this to me where it’s just a blur beyond one or two lines that provide absolute clarity

I don’t think Izzy actually likes or enjoys the humiliating things Calico Jack does to him, but I think that’s also very much besides the point for both of them. Izzy needs the catharsis of being taken apart and Jack likes taking things apart so he’s more than willing to do it and it’s just entertaining for him. Plus Jack eats ass like a man possessed and there’s always a 30% chance of that happening instead, so Izzy’s pretty much always game.
#izzy hands#calico jack#cjizzy#I go a step further beyond cons ‘izzy doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to recognize love’#and say he doesn’t have the emotional clarity to recognize whether he likes or enjoys things at all#at a certain point of things you don’t want/like happening to you sometimes your brain just can’t handle it and rewrites#and says we aren’t going to deal with liking or not liking things anymore#they’ll just happen and we’ll get something out of them even if we have to kill for it#and I think that’s where izzy has been for decades and that’s why it’s gonna take him longer to adjust and heal#I need to stop dumping my serious analysis in the notes of shippy posts

also it's only just occurring to me that like, i presume and enjoy how Unfixed In Time (or at least without peak specific precision) gtmpota is, while based on a book published in & set in the '90s, and here i am noticing how there being a Leave A Message For Brooke Specifically recording in understudy buddy is Not ['90s] when like, even if a middle schooler had a phone in their room it'd be a landline that shares its number with that of the whole household, but it's also decidedly '90s esque in being like an answering machine recording with the Beep tone / sound quality and all, as well as of course definitely being a message left via phonecalls rather than tina ostensibly reading out a text or something
#although it occurs to me that you could commit to cellphones and even smartphones just via whichever props are used#i definitely think of it as taking place at anytime from the '90s to present as well at every time simultaneously lol#goosebumps the musical#total tangent but i was thinking of things Animatically the other day including that i already incorporated zeke's wearing a digital watch#as a detail from the book and an aspirational trait for everyone (god i wish that were me) such that while listening to A Super Scary Play#i envisioned him going ''what time is it now'' and brooke answering ''2:21'' by consulting his very wristwatch herself lol#which reminds me today i had such a moment while already having just noticed the sounds of the clock ticking on the wall right beside me#namely wondering what time it is; going ''oh to have a way to peak conveniently find out Right Now''; Then recalling i could turn my head#i also can imagine that this just allows itself to be a little more period piece affixed in time Than Not#and that letting the answering machine message be recorded by just brooke / received by just her is for efficient brevity And clarity#rather than like requiring you to remember her last name or have a whole other adult cast member provide that line etc & such#like if the combo '90s / '00s / beyondness of this detail is mostly a happy accident then i embrace that too

The Orpheus and Eurydice fic is so fucking good. Did you ever write anything after they make it out, or?
Fic in question
But no! I have not - I just wanted to write the Orpheus and Eurydice aspect, and I also wanted to keep it open-ended. Glad you enjoyed it though! :)
#happy talks about his stories#happy talks pjo#iamonlyatiger#happy's asks#also if you reread the ending there's no clarity beyond nico opening the door and jason following him#that was intentional! i wanted people to make up their own ending either in hope or angst :)

how would one hypothetically tag an ao the previous blue dragon not the squirrel x reader fic?
#reinas.inretrograde#there is something about not even being a lover bc he couldn’t allow himself relationships like that#just an admirer from beyond your periphery#where he once saved your father from bandits and though you take after your parent and cast him away from your home despite his help#you cannot help but seed a fondness in your heart#so when you hear he is going blind you visit him one last time#and let him witness you in a light he’s never seen. with a clarity he’d never been allowed to have#by dragging his hands over the curves of your body and letting his fingers map out softness of your skin#anyways back on my yona of the dawn bullshit#hak makes me yearnnnnn so deeeeepp

Better Man is such a quintessential Taylor song because just the title alone is a core piece of her ethos and worldview.
#Taylor being described as a man-hater is insane to me. she LOVES them. she always wants the most from them#there is something so genuinely healing in her saying ‘I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man’#like. it’s a callout beyond all callouts because she doesn’t mean it first as a callout!!!! she means it first as an expression of truth#and sadness#has anything ever been better for the current cultural climate than Taylor Swift demanding that if men love her they Love Her For Real#and so many women learning that from her#and you know what if she HAD an agenda even the ‘good’ agenda herein described#it wouldn’t work!!!!!!!#but actually no one has ever been more agenda-less than Taylor Swift#and so the message comes through with far more clarity#Taylor sometimes speaks on issues of course and is generally thoughtful in her approach but her art 100% does not use that side of her brain#it comes straight from her heart. translated through her skill with words and musics#it bypasses agenda. it TEACHES.#anyway taylor swift is the answer to the gender divide/fight/problems folks you heard it here#among a few select others#not of this time or generation

it’s just i spend so much time sharing little things about myself in the hopes that it sparks a connection with people and also i guess that maybe sometimes people will think of me yk. to feel like i exist outside of my own head. i dont think this is a bad thing it’s just where im at it’s a natural want for connection and it like. works for me. and i also dont think it’s bad to have the friends i do that are like ‘surface level’ yk. i still appreciate them and love them. it’s just, this is where im at, desperately clawing in different spaces in my life to be known even tho it’s embarrassing lol. and it just sucks that i never had to try to with her. not only did we have this extremely insane chemistry right off the bat, she’s someone that in like every way has made it seem like she actively wants to know me. beyond just the polite and whatever kind of level. and it’s like, of course that feels absolutely amazing given ive been pining since day 1 but also i just like her a lot as a person. you know. and it all sucks and makes me wanna combust sometimes that things aren’t the way i’d like them to be between us of course lmfao but i also think she’s an incredible person and she’s managed to make me feel so safe and calm and simultaneously obviously fucking crazy and energized and whatever. u know. whatever my point is here im gonna be done now <3
#jk! it's like. she remembers shit abt me. not only these things that im basically handing to the world around me like hi hey please#think of me. she notices the stuff i dont make a point to point out. stuff that i say really offhandedly or to myself#she remembered what cup i was going to use our first time hanging out she remembered my posters even tho i only showed her my room for like#a second. shes looked up movies i mentioned she. in her also very drunken state. paid attention to the exact cup i was carrying around#that was actually just sweet and smart of her. when we left she was like Um hey. that's not the one u had lol#sometimes she references things i've said and i have to stop myself from going Oh ;-; on the spot#and early on we'd tease each other even though we. didnt really know each other. so it was over the most basic shit and that was#its own thing that felt all <33333 yk. stupid silly goofy#so now. shes not talking to me for whatever reason and i think lied abt why she didnt answer last weekend and it's weird#and it's like. yeah it sucks knowing they're still evidently goin strong. but also im like damn this person that i was prepared to#call a friend and really like. care about at this point. is acting like we're at square 1#and we're not close enough for me to Fully be like Yo dude wtf. but we're definitely beyond the point where it's like#oh this is someone i just hung out with once and we didnt rlly click so im just going to be polite but not engage#if that makes sense. yk.#so monday im gonna try to get some clarity on the whole thing but ig here's me lamenting rn#haha u thought u were getting just a regular non film girl vent post. sike#im not like breaking down over this i promise im just reflecting. and didnt want to get up for my journal. so here's this#film girl saga#long post
