Sometimes someone will say something about a fictional character's choices and I'll think "do you want to be told a story, or read an instruction manual for Correct Behaviour"
I recently described my second novel's (early) plot outline to a friend and without giving too much away, it's a horror-romance about a woman whose lover is slowly transformed into a dangerous monster due to forces outside of their control. She wrestles with her fear and love, how useful her monstrous lover is in their current survival situation, how dangerous her lover could become, and ultimately at the end of the story decides that monster or not, this is a person that she loves and who loves her back, and goes back to save them from a horrible death.
And my friend's response was "well everyone will think the protagonist is stupid for not leaving Lover at the first sign they were turning into a monster. And then they'll think she's even more stupid for going back to save them when she could have used that opportunity to escape. I think the story sounds great but you should cut out the romance because she'd obviously just be afraid of Lover as soon as they become changed."
And I was just. So speechless. Not because I'm hostile to critique (it's actually very fun for me to be challenged because I love to Think About Things), but because this critique seemed to ask me Not To Tell The Story. My friend went on to explain that in real life this romance would be super toxic and would encourage women to ignore red flags and I, flabbergasted, am wondering when in real life you might be trapped in the Arctic being menaced by UFOs who have turned your doting partner into a Creetur
I'll add an obligatory addendum here which is that I don't think this is an issue with My Friend, who I love, but with the current Media Climate. Subtext is being scraped out of everything, readers and audiences aren't being asked to Think For Themselves or ask questions or mine meaning in the (mainstream!!!) art they're interacting with. I know from personal experience with pitching my first novel that publishers and agents are anxious when story elements are left deliberately ambiguous or without closure. Television shows and films are being written with dialogue that is overly literal, where characters say their thoughts and plans out loud to each other over and over again. Theatre revivals of old shows are having lines changed or added in to clarify what characters mean or how the audience should feel. It is not a flaw in the reader to internalise the structure of stories - that's how canons come to exist! It is, however, critical that storytellers resist this erosion of subtext and overly-precious need to police people's Interpretations of the work.
In other words, my concern with my friend's critique was not necessarily that SHE thought the protagonist was stupid for staying with her lover. It was that she thought the romance should be removed wholesale because it wasn't unambiguously Good. And mostly it was concerning because I don't think my friend arrived at that conclusion herself, but because our current mainstream media landscape is TELLING her to arrive at that conclusion.

reminder to visit museums, even if you feel out of place. you feel out of place because there is an established concept of inaccessibility of "high culture" to the masses, purposefully developed to distinguish between social classes.
take up space, read the plaques, get the audioguides. you are just as entitled and right in being there. visit museums, boycott museums, be expressive about your opinions about museums.
a lot of museums are free, or discounted for youth and students. take advantage of that. check your local art museum. check your local history museum. museums are there for you, they are there to educate the public, not to distinguish between class. it isn't a private collection, it's a public exhibit.
GO TO MUSEUMS!!!!!!!

''what if you regret it'' then you will expirience regret - a normal and unavoidable part of the human expirience.
the more you twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid regret the harder it will hit when it eventually catches up to you.
there should be big extended events in tomodachi life, like there should be a chance for one if your miis to spontaneously develop a zombie virus, and a zombie apocalypse starts on your island and lasts until one of your miis develops a cure or everyone is infected. (once everyone is infected it turns out there actually was no virus, and everyone was just kind of placebo'd into believing they were zombies)

Ideal work schedule:
I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks
I complete the list
I leave immedietly
The Clarifier would like to make just one more comment
idk i just feel like "it is more acceptable and in fact encouraged to mock anything enjoyed primarily by women" and "being enjoyed primarily by women does not make thing feminist and righteous" are thoughts that can and should coexist
oh and also "even if the thing is bad your criticism of it can come from a place of patronising misogyny"
this is my impression of what it would look like if the toddlers at my job could make traumacore edits about me
sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.

I consider myself a real hater but sometimes you really do go too far with haterism. once I had to break mutuals with someone bc they hated the entire art form of poetry and the final straw was when they started hateposting about soup. The food
Assign an aspect of nature to prev
Waves at the beach
Rushing breeze through leaves
A crack of thunder
Flow of a river
The shine of a gem
Dancing embers of a flame
Torrential rain
Slow falling snow
An emerald sea of grass
Austere cliffside
A maze of roots
The endless oceans
