I wish I could rec a fantasy crime thriller, magic war drama, artifact heist, or a [mythical animals]-racing fantasy-documentary (if Seabiscuit were a dragon IG), but no one bothered to since it was more economical, production AND writing-wise, to make the 'Non-Fantasy' versions of those. [3/3]

Non-book backed "prestige" fantasy movies don't exist as it has significant demands for something modern writing is scarce in- sincerity, and if I'm honest, quality as well. [2/?]

(incoming ramble) I think a big reason is that 'actual' fantasy usually asks for a significant investment that is just not conducive to movie runtimes, so elements end up light or simplified to its own detriment. [1/?]

it's BS that even if you believe him fully about it NOT being a shock collar, no part of his reaction is good.

he acts with aggression over NOTHING. "she yelped b/c she hurt herself" and dude can't even practice 30 seconds of compassion in his own damn room

I think I remember seeing a tumblr speculation post about how the omegaverse would reconcile the "I am the alpha and the omega" and thought that was the extent of it

it's very much a premise/kink that wants to have its cake and eat it too- wants the shield of PWP "don't think about it" but also the prestige of "meaning something [more than porn]" with incredibly mixed results on both

one of my regrets since leaving CA is I didn't get to revisit the La Brea Tarpits and take my time with the exhibits 😔

creator/content have their places as useful words, stop treating them like Dehumanizing Microaggressions

"consuming media" also falls under this; "use 'engaging with media!'", ah yes, like *social media engagement*? do you see how this erodes useful language??

of the fibercrafts I've always wanted to learn crochet because of the Possibilities of making ~SOFT ORB CREATURES~ however actually learning it solo kills my brain (possibly because I'm left handed)

so I settle for Simple Sewing

now what I will say IS great about KoG/glitch productions is that they let their artists actually post their scenes and BTS processes to YT with commentary!!
