To me, the heart simply means that I had a great time regardless of quality

@Smug_Homeslice All parts of a story are equally integral imo. Themes without plots are literally just a list of interesting ideas! It is extremely, absurdly easy to make a list of 'cool shit to talk about'. Making that a story, a plot, that actually conveys things--that's the hard part.
English
I think “themes and such” is moreso critiquing how a stories conclusion fails to actually address its claimed themes in a satisfying (or at least whole) manner.
Themes are the most integral part of a story imo, but if what’s built around it fails to fully engage with them, then
the emiliest! 🌻@emilyis_emilies
“themes and such” being like an insult is weird to me because… i feel like. delivering your themes and message properly in a story is more important than like. having a perfectly consistent world forever. a story is meant to make you feel something, not just be wiki fodder
English
@nightwingojo its a way of saying a narrative is empty and doesn't have a strong enough plot to have its ideas/themes make any sense. It's applied to CSM a lot because the CSM ending (even in the eyes of its defenders) is rushed to all hell. There's simply not enough buildup.
English
ngl i still don’t understand what this themes and such meme means and why “themes and such” is bad
riley@bumblemio
sorry i fucking love themes and such. give me one billion more absurdist stories with deep meaning.

Here’s a really good one about sentences (quote tweeting so that more people can see this)! thebeliever.net/the-sentence-i…

@lilestradiol I would be interested in good ressources about narrative/ structure/ dialogue, do you have any recommendations ?
English
@SpaghettiKozak @lilestradiol @itsbasilbasil The thing is that “make sure it’s consistent and doesn’t harm the narrative” was 90% of the original advice regarding magic systems
English
@lilestradiol @itsbasilbasil I hope I'm not alone when I say I have an issue with this modern obsession with magic systems. The main issue is making sure it's consistent and doesn't harm the narrative in some way.
English
its rly funny and revealing when ppl post like "tips and advice for writers!!!!!"
and then the advice is about like, magic systems, medieval hairstyles, how suits of armor function, etc
And not like. Narrative, structure, dialog, character, etc. Lmao
English
This annoys me too, but truth be told the former is much more ‘useful’ advice. It’s hard to give immediately applicable a D.C.ice about something as broad and overarching as ‘character’. But “don’t fuck up suit descriptions” is much easier

themes and messages are delivered through the world & plot. Unless fujimoto’s plan was to beam the emotions he wants us to feel ala the blade runner novels, there’s no other way to get a message across.

@AsgharAbbas123 @Jaereku What the author intends or wants is irrelevant to the quality of their story. The ‘point’ is decided by the text and what the author was going for doesn’t matter at all. Fujimoto could’ve written an ending that better convinced people of what he had in mind.
English
@Jaereku YESSS, I wish more people realized this, when people are complaining about the missed character arcs, I can't help but feel that yeah, technically you are right but... Aren't you like, kinda missing the point or the thing that Fujimoto wants to exactly address?
English
@disrupthehuman @MagmaSlasher Because that is what happened. What do you think happened in the last chapter?
English
@MobiusMr @MagmaSlasher why do you think there's an ability to "rewrite time"?
English
by far the most hilarious people are the ones still holding strong to crying about the logistics of pochita being erased. the battle shounen mind is a fascinating thing.
English
@disrupthehuman @MagmaSlasher your argument is “since the story states its messy even the largest incongruences can be forgiven”. I don’t think this is true. Messiness’ implies that the power’s output is weird around the edges, not that it will randomly develop the ability to rewrite time.
English
@MobiusMr @MagmaSlasher what was the point of this reply, all you did was restate the argument that i already addressed.
English
@disrupthehuman @MagmaSlasher the internal logic of the story is that its messy, sure, but that doesn't permit his powers working entirely different from how it had for ~the entire rest of the series~ for no apparent reason than plot convenience.
English
@MagmaSlasher the internal logic is followed! the story explicitly tells you that it's messy and can't be predicted. that's the internal logic. you are suffering from scaling and power system thinking and its time to grow from that. i promise stories will be more worthwhile.

No it’s because the point of contemporary public art is not to either reproduce that which is real (made obsolete by the camera) or to propagandize the ruler (verboten in a republic) but to provide artists free reign to create non-commercially successful art
Possum Reviews@ReviewsPossum
I've been saying this for years. The reason public art is so ugly now is it's meant to erode your pride in your community and culture so those in power can reshape it with minimal resistance.
