I Have Redraw The 'Sleep Tight' Ending From Mr. Hopp's Playhouse.

Not an analysis post, but I just want to share to you this part that I noticed when I re-watched Yorknew City arc.

Remember in episode 56 or something when they had to search for the scarlet eyes to track Kurapika?

Look at the whole troupe looking for it:

They're all working so hard and then there's that MF clown:

THIS MF CLOWN

This man. He's just standing over some wooden boxes and not even trying to look like he's searching for the scarlet eyes. Not even trying put in a millimeter ounce of effort.

And you know what else is crazy?

Do you see where he's facing towards? He's facing towards somewhere in the right-corner of the place.

And of course he's looking down. And do you know who is in the direction he's looking at?

Frickin' Machi.

This man decided to spend his time hovering over Machi. Scarlet eyes who? Only Machi.

I bet he was flirting and bothering her all throughout xD

No wonder Machi is so done with him and Phantom Troupe assigned Machi to him. If this is how Hisoka is, then oml it all makes sense.

Of course, they just gave up on making him do work. He's beyond saving

I decided this needed its own post, so--

Here's some context for ""The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author."

and

"Your personal interpretation of the content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of it's author." 

You can't say, "Well it's okay to judge the morality of an author based on their fiction if you're correctly interpreting that fiction."

Because, my friend, every person who interprets a piece of fiction believes that their interpretation is the correct one.

The tumblr user who recently posted believing that Hayao Miyazaki had nationalist beliefs and made movies that supported fascism believed that their interpretation was correct, and judged Miyazaki's morals based on that assumption.

The people who think Nabokov wrote Lolita as an endorsement of child abuse rather than a work of fiction against child abuse believe that their interpretation is correct, and judge the author based on that assumption.

The moment you allow yourself to judge an author's morals based on your assessment and interpretation of their fiction–

➡️ you are opening yourself up to falsely judging victims who were writing about the abuse and injustice they suffered or witnessed, because you falsely believed you were supposed to root for the abuser.

➡️ you are opening yourself up to falsely judging people who were writing about the horribleness of crime and abuse, and injustice who fumbled the message or didn't portray it in a way that is clear enough for you.

Unless and until an author comes out and tells you why they wrote a certain thing a certain way, you cannot know for certain why they wrote it. You cannot judge their moral intent.

If someone writes a horrible dystopia and then in an author's note says "I wrote this because I think this is the world we should live in and aspire to you" please, please judge them.

If someone writes a book about child abuse and gives an interview where they say "I believe that this is the way we should treat children, this is good and just" please, please judge them.

But you can't know. You can't believe that you know.

You have to judge people on their actions in the real world and their words that they say they believe, not the fiction that they create.

Fran doodles :3

if there had actually been a hug option in the game, I would have been even more of an emotional mess

let them hug!!! (;﹏;)

no offense but some of y'all should really consume more weird media ok some of y'all are ready to clutch your pearls at the mere sight of the slightest offbeat concept in speculative fiction and this can't go on

everytime I see antis call themselves punk I lose hope in the internet again

I don't know how to say this but policing people's right to create and consume any fiction they want AND advocating for the corporal punishment of "thought criminals" cannot and will not ever be punk. shut up

Writing porn just for the sake of porn is super valid actually.

Smut and PWPs aren’t a fandom problem that needs to be solved. They belong here. They’re basically the backbone of fandom. Stop with your scarily casual purification talk.

We're entering this strange era of fannish existence where we are simultaneously trying to censor everything into oblivion and also be as invasive as we possibly can to celebrities and people of interest.

Like god forbid someone writes smut fic about Henry Cavill on their silly little Tumblr account, but its considered normal that "insider sources" are selling telling you all about his private relationships and paparazzi are photographing him buying groceries.

I can't say 'sex' on TikTok but Daily Mail can take photographs of female celebrities half-naked in their own backyards and talk about their weight and their breasts and how appealing they are or aren't.

We are obsessed with consuming real life, often invasive content about real people, but god forbid we start creating our own so we don't rely on exploiting them and their privacy.

hey y’all I just found the sloppiest, wettest sounding bass patch I’ve ever heard. here you go 

"i hate love triangles" "i hate cheating" "stop writing about love triangles and cheating" people write about love triangles and cheating because complex emotions and romantic conflict are deeply compelling themes. get good.
