Brother: listen LISTEN putting politics and messaging and whatever- no shut up I’m trying to talk- it takes away from the story! The story is the most important part! Not political alleg- whatever u said

Me *repeating myself again*: allowing creators to actually fully execute an idea within their story is what makes it good, obviously this also requires good writing but most things are inherently political and a lot of movies come across as bad because the political ideologies at play within the writing can’t be executed in full- what if someone sees something in fiction and goes oh that’s not that bad and begins sympathizing etc irl? Besides allowing the fullness of a story including both the in universe political aspects which often have irl implications makes the audience think-

Brother: no shut the fuck up stop talking to me about this I don’t care about real life I want to escape it in fiction I don’t want to see real politics in my movies!!!

Me (I know the answer): what’s your favorite show right now?

Brother: Andor

Honestly, I've played a few others IFs this year that have showed off REALLY cool ways to expand the feeling of character, and they're inspired me! Like, getting to pick small things right at the start, what you like to drink, your bad coping method, your snack, and some of it immediately shows up a bit later, like if you're coping method is drinking, pills or smoking and these are all usual questions that you get asked on a health information sheet, and the Hermit just goes :} that aint me.

Also next part up gets to go over what they want to talk about, whicm im really excited for, since it arranged their priorities slightly.
