Utterly obsessed with these Shakespeare playbook covers from the late 1960s by Paul Hogarth

i think the thing i love about tos and spirk is that spock’s feelings for jim are a recurring actual subplot (the naked time, bread and circuses, basically all of the films, etc.)

yes you can argue about whether the feelings are platonic or romantic, but it’s not just subtext. spock canonically and explicitly has strong feelings for his captain and it’s a struggle he faces throughout the entire series and especially in the movies. i would go as far as saying it’s his whole character arc (along with just feeling emotions in general)

you don’t have to look for any subtext (although there is A Lot) because it’s quite a significant, real part of the show

There is a really frustrating thing where some kinds of speculative story are hard to write because they will be assumed to be bad (clumsy, harmful, regressive) metaphors for real-world events or people, rather than exploring completely speculative ideas. Like:

"What if a small group of religious extremists, persecuted in their own country, moved to an inhospitable uninhabited island and had to rebuild society there?" - But the Americas and Australia weren't inhospitable and were full of Native nations, why are you perpetuating the idea of Terra Nullius and manifest destiny? - Yes, that's because this isn't a metaphor for the British invading other countries, it's a metaphor for finding out how much of a person's religious practise is rooted in worldly concerns, vs how much they will really stymie themselves for the sake of God.

"What if 1/100 children born was a werewolf?" - But queer people are no danger to straight people, and disabled people don't have predictable patterns to their illnesses, and most people who have uncontrollable rages really CAN control them and are just lying, and no minority group has superpowers... - Yes, but that's all immaterial, because I wanted to talk about a load of other metaphors about the passage of time and responsibility and the relationship between humans and wildlife.

It almost feels like death of the author, like "Death of the most obvious metaphor" - If you couldn't reach for the (tormented) parallel between being an alien species and being stateless, what stories could someone tell? If your changeling-baby was neither disabled nor adopted, what would the story be about? Etc.

So, due to events and circumstances, I now have about 130 gig of data I need to use up in the next 28 days.

Any suggestions for how to do that?

(Note: I am in Australia, so torrenting is a huge pita that I will not be fucking with.)

no, you don’t understand. I am obsessed with these.

ouroborosorder

honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”

ouroborosorder

One of my dream projects has an NPC with a dog, and if you try to pet it, the owner tells you not to do that. If you try again, it bites you and you take damage. I want to do this entirely because I genuinely believe that this would make me feel way more grounded in the world than any “click button to see cute animation” would ever do, and also it would be really funny to have a game where people lose their runs because they tried to pet a dog they were told not to pet

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

clementine-kesh

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?

#fandom #I also see a lot of the 'an absence of evidence is evidence of absence' mindset #without engaging with like... editorial or technical reasons for the absence #sometimes a text is very clear that it is only showing specific‚ narrow slices of a character's life! (like PHM)#sometimes a text is super duper clear that there are layers of unreliable narrators influencing what the audience is shown (iwtv)#and sometimes a text is like. each series takes place in a different year but only covers about 10-15 days onscreen (early Red Dwarf)#and then you've got the layer of... do TPTB producing the text give a fuck about the absence in question?#is the absence intentional or is due to different priorities between author and audience?#anyway
