World of Darkness blog for art and ocs

A thing I do find very appealing about Werewolf: The Apocalypse is that it's the game where every time you wanna get a new superpower, you (and potentially your entire pack) might need to do some absolute random bullshit that doesn't matter to anybody in the entire world except for the dipshit rat ghost or whatever you've been haggling with, but is potentially still dangerous and demanding. Like yes, sacred warrior of Gaya, I can teach you how to sweat special glue that lets you walk up and down anything, but first you'll have to storm Area 51 in order to liberate their lab mice

Shout out to the (many) times I got called an elitist gatekeeper for saying that the only real way to fully understand a work of fiction is to experience it firsthand and that summaries and reviews are not a replacement for that

To quote what a friend of mine said after she watched Jerry Maguire (1996) for the first time, having thought she knew what it was about because of its cultural ubiquity: “you miss a lot of a movie when you don’t watch it”

Now like there's nothing wrong with hearing an overview or reading a synopsis and going "nope," but just because you know everything you need to know about it to decide it's not for you--and can maybe speak to its cultural impact--doesn't mean you actually grok the work.
