im so dead tired of self aware genre fiction. i dont want the snarky knight or the brooding spaceman to joke about how overplayed something is. gimme back unashamed affect. gimme dudes speaking in thees and thous and starship captains making poignant speeches and shit and stop fucking worrying about being seen by critics or the general public as shlock
“oh haha isnt sci fi so silly lol look at me i know im writing sci fi but my characters are joking about how cringey this all is so like its fine right” i would bite your head off if i could, coward
