i'm seeing translations of kto's interview around and he talked abt ljh's supposed backstory there… sorry but why did that have to come from the actor and not the show itself 💀

like as a writer, i know there are times when you come up with a character's story but you can't find a way to explicitly include it in the story, but it's supposed to manifest in the story and character somehow. this is one of those situations where that backstory didn't manifest at all in the character, so i'm left wondering if there's even a point to mentioning it

i'm even wondering if kto himself came up with it himself (like how yjg came up with his character's backstory in hdl bc the script was that dry)

just . meh

#rant #sorry the writing is just not top tier in this show #abt the last paragraph . maybe it did come from the writer and that was mentioned in the interview but not the translated excerpts #++ improvs and details abt the character that are added by the pd/actor are not faults of the writer btw #(like helloooo i'm sure ksy pd and ssk added so much to gu w/o phy's intervention that we just don't know of)#but going back to e a w . these side characters are as thin and flat as a sheet of paper #and even w y w's character arcs were either cut short or completely vanished somehow #idk i just have frustrations w this show's writing #i'm glad ppl had fun and liked the characters and the stories or w/e #but let's not claim that it's a perfect work #esp in terms of writing #and even directing!!! there was so much care and magic in the first eps that vanished in the recent ones #and the final 'parallels' to the first ep felt lazy and meaningless to me #or is that another issue with the writing lol

Listening to a podcast interview with the directors of Treasure Planet, and one of the most fascinating things is when they talk about how the '90s Disney animation climate was all about making these prestige animated films with stories that could have been done in live action (Hunchback, Pocahontas), and these guys fought to make films that could only be done (or at least be best done) with animation. Because it's kind of the inverse of their current philosophy of making everything live action even if it's a story that's better in animation. So anyway if the live-action Treasure Planet thing is really happening, it's like spitting in the face of this movie's intent.

#treasure planet #disney #also i may just have to keep this one in my back pocket for writing inspiration #because the way they talk about blending a classic story with their new take #and about how they try to distill the story down to its essence #like a caricature that keeps it simple and reveals the true heart of the story #is a lot like how i like to approach retellings #70-30 rule is a good term (that's what they used to describe their blend of past vs future aesthetic)#and thinking about that blend is esp helpful for the story i'm currently mulling over

the doctor isnt neurodivergent or autistic or adhd or nonbinary or genderqueer or asexual. what the doctor is, is Not From Here

#which necessarily of course says something abt their (non)whiteness #(i had all these words in quotation marks first so mentally add those to whiteness too)#but we've them be black for all of 1.5 episode now so #lets see how that develops you know #also i dont think i understand the politics of that part well enough to say much abt it #not that i probably understand the politics of these parts better but #im annoyed enough abt this Thing happening these years. in these 20s i guess. the 'representation' thing #to complain abt it anyway #the dsm isnt real and it isnt gonna fuck you buddy #maybe i'll read some books and then one day i'll write an essay driven by spite and pettiness #i wonder if i can make the thesis statement about the tension between their status of main character #in a 60 year running family adventure show vs this therapy thing we're doing now #like. you cant do that. in terms of like. what story is and does. what a character is and does. it strains #in an interesting way. like im not saying they Shouldnt have done it. im just observing. that you cant do that really. i think #or maybe you can! but i'll find that out #i also dont know shit abt narratology or whatever so. need to read books first. sigh #always have to pause my thoughts to read myself in first its so annoying. esp bc i rarely really do #bc then new thoughts new things to do you cant do EVERYTHING. you can do almost nothing. bane of my existence really #but like you might even be able to say smth interesting here about whether you can call them traumatised at all #remember that article i saw around on tumblr a few years ago i think that was abt like. some scholar in the middle east maybe #saying that ptsd is a western thing bc it necessitates a Post #all of this is western. psychiatry is western. its all stories. how you conceptualise trauma is a story #whos Other is story #where youre from is a story what you stand for is a story who you are is a story #ah. checked the article. dr samah jabr. palestinian. i'll start with her book maybe

one thing i think about the ghosting (that i allude to sometimes in my fic and given garlaath's existence as a concept) is not only the cultural trauma that rayla carries, but also the possible religious trauma. if you're ghosted, it would stand to follow that moonshadow elves don't believe you get to reunite with your village / loved ones in an afterlife. it's a complete shunning where they metaphorically (and somewhat literally) kill you if you refuse to die of your own accord in the line of duty. if you're ghosted, do you go to hell? does rayla already think she's damned on that level, and adds another level to thinking she'll never see runaan and ethari again? just something to think about

#callum: well my religion doesn't believe in hell #rayla: wut #tdp rayla #tdp #the silvergrove #headcanons #worldbuilding #the dragon prince #raylangst #as a former christian / catholic (and esp as a queer one) i thankfully don't have #any religious trauma but #it's something i always find interesting exploring in fiction #whether it's how characters become devout on their own terms or their deconstructionist journeys #me writing 'twice as many stars' as a vague deconstructionism

am I the only one who's a little annoyed that trigun stampede has its own ao3 tag but trimax and trigun '98 share the same tag? they're all vastly different it doesn't make sense to me to have one adaptation share a tag with the source material and then have the other adaptation on the side when that other adaptation is already more faithful to the manga than the one that's sharing a tag with it

like either there should be a tag for each + a "trigun (all media types)" tag (please) or might as well make them all share the same tag at this point (please don't)

#bee talks #trigun #trigun stampede #the hobbit and lotr fandoms have this #there's a tag for each adaptation and the source material and then a tag that encompasses all of them #i really think they should go the lotr/hobbit fandom way #like idk personally i never write any trigun fics with trigun '98 in mind esp in terms of characterization and some key story points #and i don't want people being misguided into thinking that i do and then being disappointed

do i post my long explanation of empathy vs sympathy re: roman tonight or is that just excessive

#like warning it is Long. will cut it down some bc i wrote it in a mad frenzy at 3 am in my notes app last night but still #tl;dr: roman is intensely empathetic and entirely devoid of sympathy. the seemingly contradictory displays of compassion vs disregard/#cruelty are not contradictory at all and make complete sense if you understand the actual definitions of empathy and sympathy. i’d argue #that while rome’s capacity for empathy stands out in a show a #of people who are not prone to empathy his complete and total void of sympathy is much more unique in terms of humanity at large. it’s just #a show filled w cruel people so it’s less noticeable that the forms of cruelty he displays are rooted in empathy/lack of sympathy rather #than sympathy/lack of empathy like kendall and shiv (and just most people more generally)#sympathy is predicated upon difference distance and logical dissection of emotion while empathy is rooted in identification intimacy and #visceral experiences of emotion #you guys just literally do not know what these words mean. but that’s fine ! most people do not ! they are frequently confused and conflated #! that just doesn’t mean they SHOULD be. so . maybe i can help w that #also for further reading edmund burke is an absolutely fascinating figure to read esp his writings on british imperialism #although the term he uses is sympathy mehta & other later thinkers who have talked ab him have concluded that his cosmopolitanism of #sentiments/sympathy is much more like the modern definition of empathy (the words have shifted meaning slightly over the course of history)#or rather that the sentiment is empathy but the push to action is sympathy and combining together u get the cosmo. of sentiments #but basically burke is the founder of modern conservative thought basically. he is also the only british thinker who at the time of british #occupation of india actually spoke out against imperialism. this is because he viewed others not from a lens of sympathy/pity (feeling bad #for their plight) but empathy (identifying with their circumstances and placing himself within them)#love burke bc i find it so fascinating how someone i disagree with so frequently also holds a mindset that i value greatly and is anti-#imperialism despite everything else about him #kind of like rome in that sense. except rome’s sense of empathy is slightly broken because a) he doesn’t have any sympathy to supplement it #with and b) his visceral/emotion/gut instinct leading way of viewing the world + the way obscene wealth makes the rest of reality feel #fungible = inability to feel anything towards that which he does not identify #and unlike burke rome is too skewed by wealth and his upbringing to see resemblance in the masses and empathize w them #the other sibs function using sympathy and feel bad for the poor without having to relate to or understand them #but roman doesn’t do sympathy. he doesn’t feel FOR people he feels what people are feeling instead #but only so long as they’re seen as people. sympathy requires hierarchy so not viewing others as ppl v much allows for sympathy.#empathy requires some level of perceived horizontality so rome cannot empathize w that which is not horizontal to him #me: should i post this long thing? also me: posts another long thing in the tags that’s a long short summary of the much longer actual post #anyways. ahem. back to work

revolutionary girl utena is kinda blowing my mind... like this shit needs to be taught in schools i'm so serious

#the symbolism! the metaphors! the allegories! the subverting of themes and stereotypes! this is masterclass writing my god!#if i saw this when i was 18 i would've been a totally different person woah #the way this show is talked about at large always made it seem like it was this v queer driven show #and while it has v meaningful queer text it's sooo much more than that esp in terms of misogyny and power dynamics #even the filler episodes that seem ridiculous explore so many themes! the gags are so good too like it's all camp!#i'm not finished with the series yet but i already know i'm gonna be watching/reading so many essays/breakdowns about it HELP #rgu

C&F JK: Did any of your old flings talk down on Oc after knowing you two were set to marry?

Oc: Did you ever get rude looks or comments from any of the women Jungkook had in the past?

Jungkook: "Mmh... No. I'm assuming they barely cared. And if they did, I wouldn't know because I didn't meet or see them after the wedding anymore."

OC: "Oh, no, I can't even say whom all he was involved with. Although I can imagine that some were envious enough to curse me behind my back."

Jungkook: "Wait. Why would you think so?"

OC, rolling her eyes: "Because, darling. Everyone in this world is in love with you."

haunted by the atlas/astro sibling relationship that only exists in my head

#they deserved so much better I'm sobbing #anyway they give me very similar vibes to green cousins/ Lloyd and morro #esp in terms of a potential redemption arc for atlas #but at the same time their characters are so very different too #atlas is way less at fault for his actions than morro and astro is infinitely more forgiving then Lloyd #(this is by design btw and not a dig at Lloyd. bro has been through so much)#but it's sososo interesting to think about #I'm emo about them sorry #rotates...#psii.txt #I will write more about this at some point #after my trans!atlas/daichi essay

ppl who are like "everyone is reading red robin wrong, there's no tension anymore between dick and tim, everything was completely resolved, look at these panels see they're completely fine :-)" im always like. Did dick tell you that

#like rr Is purposely ambiguous and up for interpretation a lot of the time #but i do not especially think that someone who signs up to read the Tim Drake Is Mentally Ill Book #with the sole aim of Proving that he and dick are perfectly fine and everyone should just write tim like the 7-year irl sadboy spiral #never happened #..........has much of anything worthwhile to say in terms of analysis #esp bc theyll like. have this big post where they do fully take panels out of context to be like see :) nothing wrong :) everything is great #honestly i do think dick believes that though. and i do not believe he has an accurate bead on the situation #this is certainly not the only way to interpret it but i do find it really irritating when someone #with a super reductive analysis that flattens all conflict insists its the only way to read it #dc #anyway. they can love each other and have a good working relationship and still have unresolved issues.#as you will in fact see if you read red robin with your brain instead of your ass

YALL PLEASE IK WE LOVE DILF DEKU BUT WHAT IF YOU TWO ARE DILFS AND MILFS. Like YALL met in the 90s when he was JUST hitting his peak of being #1 and ALL THE HOT 90s/2k PHOTOS OF HIM AND HIS GF TOGETHER (Who is now his wife) LIKE JUST TWO PEOPLE YOUNG AND IN LOVE. Him holding her hand and laughing as they are trying to quickly get away from the paparazzi and he has his arm out and trying to wiggle through fans and having the other around her waist. He’s always wearing every day clothes in all of them cause he was young probably early 20s and didn’t really see the reason of dressing up! OH and if his wife is a poc she has those hot make up looks black girls did back then! OH I loVE IT! There’s definitely pics of the two of them like him sitting on the floor while watching a early 2000s music video from America while she is sitting behind him on the couch practicing corn rolls on his BIG HEAD OHHH YALL. AND IF THEY HAVE LITTLE MIX KIDS OMFG LET ME STOP

normally i'd stick two asks together but i'm gonna answer you in separate parts bc i wanna respond to all of your thoughts, if that's alright!

but this reminds me a little of my childhood lover post (here!)... and how deku is always so sweet to you in public, so confident with your love that he's not afraid of showing it off .... and esp how well you've both aged, still both beautiful as the day you met.

i'm sure this is what you were going for with your imagery (which def brings this imagery to life) , but this also makes me think of the tik tok trends of people sharing pics of their parents from the 90s, or getting their photos done at vintage studios. the funny but sweet poses of people standing together in y2k clothes in front of colorful backgrounds. OR even prom pictures, with the silly background drapes hehehe.

also imagining having some 90s love song being your + deku's SONG. like the song you always dance together to in the kitchen, that your kids make faces at🥺

and they're definitely cute, just like u say! either dressed up in all the cute little tracksuits you can find or in daddy's nice hero merch and similar big, chunky sneakers. or maybe u even buy them jelly sandals to match the color beads and clips in their hair... so nostalgic :(

this is such a deku vibe!!

#deku #remember i am WHITE #I AM A WHITE LADY #AND I DON'T WANNA F*TISHIZE :((#but otherwise yes adorable !! esp being age appropriate m*lfs and d*lfs in love #who grew up together too and who the public love #getting your photoshoots on and everything #LMFAO just thought abt justin timberlake fan deku sajdhfkjashdfljk #on his suit and tie sh*t #LOL i laugh #my roommate saw a mouse in the middle of me writing this too (at 3 am)#and i took a break to be worried with her #so im sorry if this isnt well structured #lmk if i could've answered better too in terms of inclusivity for poc!#caitie things #gen #anon #queue
