I do think a lot of discussions of media could be improved by people’s willingness to say “yeah that’s a legit read but I don’t vibe with it personally for x/y/z reasons”. Like sometimes things can kind of be read one of two ways but one’s going to be much more appealing to you than the other and that’s fine! You don’t have to argue that your selection of evidence is objectively correct whereas other people’s is not, it’s actually perfectly okay if the deciding factor in your interpretation is taste. This is meant to be about enjoyment after all.

There is such relief in saying "Yeah but I don't like that read very much" or "Yeah but that's a very boring/upsetting way of looking at it" instead of making your whole fandom personality about arguing your view ought to claim unambiguous victory in the interpretation thunderdome. It's very cool and sexy to realize that you could look at the story in a way you hate and it would make sense, but it still wouldn't become the only way that makes sense. So you can just choose to Not Do That. Own your tastes!

I love when people are like “I can’t believe you reblogged that despite their user name, icon, bio, and last twenty posts” bc to me my dash is the only part of this website and I’m not slowing down to look at urls you could all be the same person

There’s this ask reddit post about your weirdest childhood and the story is about this guy who was playing in the woods by a creek with his friend when a guy in full late 1800s formal clothing including a top hat just walked out of the forest, said “Hello boys!” and kept walking. This is why I want historical clothing so badly. The ultimate prank.

give someone something to think about for the rest of their life

be the ghost encounter YOU want to see in this world

This reminds me of my great uncle who used to hunt with a musket because he enjoyed the feel of it, and he also had an assortment of deer hide clothes he’d made or bought from local first nations, and he went out hunting when he was like 14 and got lost and came across this man in the woods and was like,,,,, can you help, i’m lost. and the guy looks him up and down and my uncle realizes he’d unintentionally dressed in all his deerskin clothes and a coonskin cap when the guy asks him, “how long have you been lost for?”

something about netflix castlevania felt really weird but oddly familiar in the way the story is medieval low fantasy and yet every character is not only speaking in a super modern way but constantly dunking on eachothers backstories, dropping f bombs with impunity, and going on 5 minute tangents on whether or not vampires really are killed by running water and I couldn’t put my finger on it until I realized they all talk like they’re players in a dnd campaign

in my humble opinion in my expertise as a certified PhDnD, trevor belmont punching dracula and nothing happening isn’t a natural one; trevor belmont punching dracula is when you roll high and add your modifier for a total that’s more than twenty against the boss’s AC, and in response the dm looks you dead in the eye and says “miss”

One of the things I love about Mandalorian culture is that it basically involves loving who ever you want, raising as many kids as you want, wearing cool body armor and flying around on highly unreliable jetpacks, and trying to shoot a space wizard who can send bullets back at you which is peak herbo/himbo culture. But seriously you don't get in trouble for picking a laser sword that's the wrong color, being forced to never see your parents as a toddler because you could move blocks with your mind, or never allowed to have family or life outside the Jedi order. One of the things that the EU established is both how family oriented Mando culture and one of the reasons they dislike the Jedi is partially because they force a child to separate from their family.

Oh my God?

We stan 1 (one) culture of batshit insane jetpack warriors

OH LAWD HE ZOOMIN
