When I was a kid I read a lot of sword and sorcery fiction from the 1970s and 1980s, and there was an extremely specific recurring trope I encountered in those novels and literally nowhere else.

There'd be this villainous duo – typically servants of the principal villain – consisting of a scheming mastermind middle-aged father and his hyperviolent lunatic teenage daughter. The daughter would constantly fuck things up due to her erratic behaviour, and the father would put up with it because they were stuck in this intensely toxic codependent relationship that left the daughter with no meaningful social relationships apart from her father, and the father unable to refuse his daughter anything she wanted, no matter how unhinged.

I ran into this exact trope in at least half a dozen different novels by as many different authors, all in the same subgenre of fantasy literature, all clustered around the same period of time, and nowhere else. (To anticipate the inevitable request for recs, Sorcerer's Heir by Paula Volsky springs readily to mind; I'd have to drag my library out of storage to pin down the others I'm thinking of – it's been long enough that I'm not confident of my recollection of specific titles!) For over thirty years this remained the case, and I was prepared to chalk it up to simply being an artefact of its time.

So, with all this context in mind, imagine my surprise when I checked what was trending on Netflix around November of 2021.

"It's impossible for a piece of media to have a perfect, thematically flawless ending."

Arcane:

#this ending means everything to me #it wraps up everything so cohesively and satisfyingly that it's borderline scary #its a cliffhanger without actually being one #this ending never leaves me alone #kinda mad because it ruined media for me #like if it's not this quality of storytelling im not satisfied #and thats a near impossible task #jinx arcane #powder arcane #vi arcane #caitlyn kiramman #mel medarda #jayce talis #viktor arcane #arcane #arcane league of legends #long post

So my friend recently finished Babel and they said creating homoerotic tension between robin and ramy only to kill them afterwards was a weak move.

What does that even mean? If you wanted to a read a happy queer novel why did you choose Babel? Why are you looking for a fairytale ending in a book that deals with heavy topics like colonialism, racism, sexism, poverty, slavery, war and whatnot. Death was always upon them. Being gay doesn't magically give characters plot armour. War doesn't care about anyone's sexuality.

#and this is not only about Babel #I've seen this take on so many other media #authors are not obligated to explore the queer chemistry between characters everytime they introduce one #babel #babel an arcane history #babel spoilers #ramiz rafi mirza #ramy #robin swift #babel rf kuang

what if we badly summarized the plots of our interests. I'll start

1. tiny neurodivergent bisexual with internalized ableism goes into a fantasy world and learns how to be an anarchist

2. chosen ones but make it an abuse allegory

3. kid goes to sleep and wakes up to literal mass murder

4. kid makes an entire fantasy RPG in his brain as his childhood friends lives fall apart due to their respective trauma

5. several lives are ruined because a kid stopped eating a sandwich and found a cool rock instead

6. several people are forced into high risk therapy by a morally ambiguous robot and also try to kill each other sometimes

7. a trans shark teaches a gay guy the power of incredible violence and fuck the police. the gay guy then proceeds to take that sentiment extremely literally.

Okay there's many popular fandom tropes that I Do Not Vibe With,but one of the ones that just most makes me go 'what a fucking waste' is the tendency for people to look at a dynamic, like, centered and based around a betrayal or hatred born of curdled love or frayed ties or being tragically at odds because of their most strongly held principles and then go 'yeah but what if every single fanwork you ever see in your life were vaguely sketched AUs where nothing ever went wrong and we replaced the central dramatic motor of the entire thing with quirky cafe dates or having fun at a waterpark or something?'

#this is most recently but not at all exclusively about Arcane #hate and violence on planet earth #<- just using this general inconsequential media bitching tag I think

Whenever my brain finds something, it enjoys it then decides that my tumblr followers should watch me fall into a pit of endless, mind-numbing brainrot.
