why would you write a fic about urbosa and zelda's mother and NOT make it smut

@coriander exactly as a fanfiction author and someone who opposes the freeform vacuousness of liberal poetics i feel like working within the structure of an existing corpus or set of interpretations can produce really good and powerful and meaningful things

but i also think it's more responsive and less improvisational?? i haven't really figured out what my feelings are regarding improvisational art/play tbh

@coriander oh yeah totally i definitely copied some pokémons and Spy Kids

i think the thing with youtube and streaming as a democratic media though is that like, star wars is clearly fake and there's complete freedom in how you interpret the thing. but when you watch someone stream you are literally watching them in the process of interpreting the thing for you, and there's maybe a compulsion to interpret it the same way…

obviously as someone who values literary criticism i am Not Against Watching People Interpret Things, but there maybe is a case that it becomes less (or differently) play-like, especially if you feel "i have to do this THIS way because youtuber did that and they're COOL"

@coriander the study was on 3-to-6-year-old children and the argument was that the children who watch youtube did not engage in as much “creative play” because they instead copied what they saw on youtube

i am not saying this is a good study or people should pay attention to it lol which is why i'm not linking it

but i do think the larger question about play which mimics recorded media versus play which is improvised is interesting

games are already shows but what they mean is the shows become less improvisational and more about signalling or repeating existing cultural currency
