i long for those days
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
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
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)
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”
