Reading by moonlight, Reading by daylight

i wont worry about it i say to myself with the always worried disorder

reblog if you’re anti censorship and against harassing real people over fictional characters

‘the protagonist should be endearing and relatable’ the protagonist should make the audience scream and start banging on the one-way glass of the fourth wall. the protagonist should burn their entire life down and make the world’s worst sandcastle from the ashes. if they aren’t the cause of at least 50% of their own problems what are we doing here

“male loneliness epidemic” and “friendzoning” are similar concepts to me in that the conditions they describe are literally experienced by everyone at some point in their lives but when its men its some sort of profound injustice that needs to be rectified by checks notes giving them unfettered access to the public good that is Women

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later

And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"

I don't think the current "depiction = endorsement" crowd will ever be able to understand this.

made a post about how I'm relieved and excited to be alive in 2026 and how I'm glad I exist in a time where music and education and communication are so expansive and accessible and said post wasn't even up for a single hour before someone started declaring that actually there are evil revolting breaches of human rights happening right now. not even an hour

this is kind of beautiful. I reckon we should all fabricate tweets from faint half-remembrances and letter them by hand instead of using screenshots

it hurts the lord when you listen to lustful, violent music. so crank that shit UP

together we can kill that old fuck

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

sorry but I do feel superior to anyone posting ai caricature of themselves. first of all you’re dumb. and second you’re lame as hell.

like yeah keep giving pictures of yourself to ai that’s such a great idea

no offense but reading is literally the cure to brain rot and there’s no work around to reading books
