very curious imo

yet we talk about “what is the history behind zelda’s tense relationship with her father” (not: “what is the narrative function of zelda’s tense relationship with her father”) and “what does it say when the U.S. responds in such a way to China” (not: “what is the history behind the U.S.’s response to China”)

very interesting inversion; things are the way they are in a work of fiction in order to make a point; things are the way they are in real life for a multitude of reasons which are usually not consciously determined or sensibly organizable into a firm narrative statement

i think it is very interesting the extent to which People On The Internet seem to concern themselves with Why Things Are The Way They Are in a work of fiction and not on What Those Things Are Saying

contrarily i seem to find the opposite happening in real life

*speculates on lore*
very good analysis!

in fairness the “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut currently sitting in the Notes app of my phone is really fucking good

i would like to remind potential employers that my academic area of expertise lies at the intersection of literary theory and sexuality studies

what if i published a “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut chapterfic

i’m a writer because anybody who writes long enough eventually gets good at writing (this is a lie) but you can always tell the assholes straight off (also a lie)

the problem with instrumental musicians is that anybody who makes music long enough eventually gets good at making music even the assholes

i had an idea once to do these little writerly sketches but it never really took off

everyone does prompt things for october but unfortunately i am a writer,

i’m glad something like the internet archive exists but i wish it was run by better people lmao

this is funny because the Internet Archive could literally just be like “hey we are a massive internet library wot has a huge repository of public‐domain content and wot archives old webpages” and that would be a 1000% better sell than “maybe in the future, CHINA”

signs the mission and/or public utility of your organization is ill‐defined and unclear :—

oh right i was actually doing something before i got distracted by the internet archive’s predictably bad attempt at sensationalist fundraising

i think that maybe if mr. nathan j. robinson had spent more time listening to people who were actually working and doing the things they were talking about, then perhaps mr. nathan j. robinson could have avoided what he has called « internal dysfunction and tension, of the kind experienced by many young organizations without clear structure » by learning from the mistakes of those who came before

my actual take regarding mr. nathan j. robinson’s points is that all of the best free content on the internet comes not from journalists but from people who are actually employed in doing the things they are writing about, who are getting paid for doing the things they are writing about, and who are writing about them in their free time above and beyond the thing that they are being paid to do

my disappointment is that mr. nathan j. robinson does not seem to even recognize that such people and writings exist
