no one gets her (fictional character perceived by millions) like me
to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking.
All I want for Christmas is...
TDP ARC 3
It’s a Wonderful Life once again has made me bawl my eyes out.
Friendships as a teenager: we used to talk 5 hours every night now it’s down to 3… are we still friends 🤔? I wonder if they don’t like me anymore
Friendships as an adult: omg I’ve finally cleared up 20 minutes of my schedule to talk to my friend I haven’t spoken to in 4 months #bffs #we will find eachother in every life
I’m still so taken aback by people in the notes who claimed you need to be talking to people weekly or even daily to consider them your friend. how many people do you know? As an adult I feel like talking every day is sustainable with one person maybe 2 or 3 if your circumstances somehow are really conveniently aligned. yeah there’s people I talk to often there’s also people I don’t talk to for 6 months because there’s no way we’ll be able to coordinate time and energy and I still consider them my friends because this is real life and there isn’t a stardew valley esque hearts system based off of how many interactions we had this month
just fyi by the time youre in your 30s, most of the people you would call to help you cover up a murder are the people you text about twice a year. it's specifically because you can maintain the relationship on two texts a year that they are your closest friends. the reason everyone's interpersonal relationships are so unstable in your teens is because everyone's "best friends" are almost entirely circumstantial. you won't actually know which of those people are in for the long haul until the relationships have been stress tested by distance, conflict and silence.

Writing is stumbling over one plot hole after another and hoping you manage to fill enough of them to make it to the end of... whatever path this is. You thought it was a city street at first - straightforward and direct - but the characters keep developing minds of their own and pulling you off in every other direction so now you're lost in the woods with the wrong map and an existential crisis on your hands. There is no escape. Where am I and what was I doing?
Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane
i bet it feels so fucking good to be a girl in her twenties reading fanfiction in bed. oh wait that’s me. world of happiness

Pros: Clones
Cons: War
random dragon prince post but the posts saying that Aaravos made up the whole story about Leola is really aggravating to me - not just from a character standpoint, but a cinematic and writing technique standpoint too.
First - from a cinematic standpoint, shows generally do not show detailed flashbacks to support a story if a character is lying. There might be certain pieces missing that another character would fill in later, but the entire story is not a lie. There would not be another cinematic scene to support it.
Second - the writers would not take most of an episode to explain this story if it were a complete lie. It would be a total waste of production time and run time just to throw it away later on. They could spend that time developing another plot line or character arc but they chose to dedicate it to Aaravos. They chose to dedicate it to the context behind his actions.
Third - this episode is meant to explain much of Aaravos’s motivations. This is something that the previous seasons have all built up to, and it makes complete sense to place it at the end of the sixth season “stars” before the seventh season “dark”. This sets up a huge chunk of the premise of the next season and the final conflict. It also is cohesive and coherent with the theme of the show as it talks about cycles of trauma and violence and how institutional violence is extremely harmful and causes so many of these cycles.
There is just no reason, on a writing craftsmanship level, for Aaravos to be flat-out lying.
