30s, Queer (Lesbian), I love D&D. My brother got me hooked on Critical Role. (She/her)

‘don’t you want your favourite character to be happy???’ no? i want my favourite character to be interesting. i want me to be happy. which sometimes involves my favourite character being in exquisite agony

CRITICAL ROLE 4 EP 10: Blood for Blood

I really enjoyed the All Crew Fireside Chat, and would strongly encourage everyone to give it a watch. Not only for the cool behind the scenes details, but for the reality check of how many people and how many hours it takes to produce things fans on the internet will often conceive of as effortless or “well, just stick a camera in front of them and hit record, what’s so hard there?”

I think everyone should hear Marisha talking about frame rates when designing the set and Max explaining that a 45 second shirt bit in an ad took him 2 weeks of work and Ashly discussing how the cast couldn’t hear each other for the first 15 minutes of the London live show. For fandom enrichment.

audiences have no idea how to be uncomfortable anymore

watch movies that make you uncomfortable read books that make you uncomfortable go to plays that make you uncomfortable watch tv that makes you uncomfortable look at paintings and sculpture and artwork that makes you uncomfortable. it is spiritually and morally and ethically and artistically really really good for you. think about why you are uncomfortable. what biases do you bring to art? what biases does the art bring to you? how do you reconcile this? how does your worldview grow and expand and change? all this and more will be answered and available to you if you just engage with art that does not coddle you and treats you like an intelligent human being that can sit through discomfort

now say it with me: authors/artists dont owe you moral purity. an author/artist job is not to hold you by the hand & tell you exactly what is Good™ & what is Bad™. you should be able to think for yourself

"yes but depictions of (morally questionable thing) are only okay if its punished in the story" thats the hays code. you just reinvented the hays code
