*shuffling my playlist repeatedly* no obviously i dont wanna listen to that one right now. you moron. you fuckhead. come on. you can do better

i think a lot of people heard about chekov's gun and thought it only applied to like. actual guns. and that it wasn't meant to be extended to literally every element a writer puts in a story

chekov's gun is supposed to be about how no superfluous elements should exist in a work at all. there shouldn't be anything there that doesn't serve a purpose. on its face, it's a directive aimed at writers. but the inverse of that, for us the audience, is that if something is in a story, we can generally assume that it wasn't put there on accident. we can assume that it serves a purpose. even if it seems random and pointless at first, we have to assign it meaning, because otherwise it wouldn't be there. that random piece of characterization? the author must have considered it vital, or it wouldn't be there. the way the camera lingered on a specific thing? you can be sure it's important. the way characters dress, their backgrounds, their habits, it all says something about who they are and how the author intends you to see them. it's the basis of media analysis: why does this element exist? what's its purpose? why was it put there? people always say i'm great at media analysis, but this is really all i do. you recognize the elements, and figure out what purpose they serve.

realistically. the answer of "what do i do about this" is "just start posting no tags to empty it out" but if that were the solution id never have gotten past 200 here

"its not safe for me to transition right now" girl have you read the news its not safe to drink milk or eat medium rare cheeseburgers or go in public without a respirator anymore stop making excuses lets get you some estrogen
