Beware The Ides Of March

if i was a soccer player i'd simply kick that ball in the goal instead of wasting everyone's time

no no no put me back in the loop I almost did it perfect please put me back just a few more tries and I think I could really nail it please put me back

something I think people have a hard time grasping conceptually both when it comes to talking about fiction as well as real life is that there's a difference between being technically cause-and-effect responsible for something vs something being your fault. if I never walked anywhere near a street again then I would never have a chance to get hit by a car, but this does not mean that it's someone's own fault if they get hit by a car while crossing a street because they never made the simple and savvy choice to never cross streets. if person X tells person Y something about me that X thinks is perfectly innocuous but makes Y get mad at me later, it is not X's fault that Y is mad at me even though they literally caused it to happen, Y is one who is at fault for being mad at me due to being the one who is mad at me. and so on and so forth.

one of my favorite types of content is people who analyse low brow media with the same seriousness with which one generally uses to analyse artsy/prestige media. not cynicism, no mockery, no acting like they're above it, even if they think its bad. everything has themes even when not intended to be there, everything says something about the context in which it was made even if its not trying to, and sometimes the lack of depth betrays a different type of depth in what the media does not realize that its saying much more than the little that its saying on purpose. even if the craft is bad.

one of the best parts of making up increasingly wild and specific aus with a friend is sending them posts like "this is sooo blorbo in torture chamber au number 15" and they reply back like "YESSS btw have i told you about my latest idea for how to torture them even more" and you get to enjoy a little snack and kick your feet with glee
