i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think it’s important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, “i’m not the audience for this” and be able to just walk away 

there doesn’t have to be something wrong or “problematic” about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesn’t mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. it’s just not for you. 

There’s been several times when I’ve watched a thing and been like, they clearly did what they intended to do, and did it well, and I don’t want any part of it. This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art.

“This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art” is a wonderful line, I love it, I feel it in my soul

too good a take to be left in the tags

Recently, my son said to me after seeing a ballet on television: “It’s beautiful but I don’t like it.” And I thought, Are many grown-ups capable of such a distinction? It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it. Usually, our grown-up thinking is more along the lines of: I don’t like it, so it’s not beautiful. What would it meant to separate those two impressions for art making and for art criticism?

Everyone on the team did a great job - the voice acting is top notch.

obligatory welcome guide for redditors

A lot of the guides I've seen don't actually seem to understand how reddit works in comparison to tumblr so

• your blog is basically your own small subreddit. some people curate this heavily to fit a theme, like a sub, most people don't
• reblogs are culturally equivilant to upvotes but functionally equvilant to crossposting
• there is an algorithm. it sucks and nobody uses it. turn it off in settings. everything is generally chronological
• likes are functionally equivilant to saving a post
• you've probably already seen this but change your icon and put something in your bio or people WILL assume you're a bot. personal info not required
• generally, anything you would put as a comment on a thread should go in the tags or the replies of a post. only add comments in reblogs if you want it to become part of the base post
• tags are mostly equivilant to flairs, used for organization and commentary
• your dashboard is an aggregation of everyone you follow
• there is an r/all equivilant(trending page) but it sucks and nobody uses it
• our search also sucks. your best bet is using tumblr.com/tagged/[TAG] and not /search
• there are no mods
• by extension, reporting something doesn't put it in front of the mods, it sends it to staff, who may or may not do anything(usually they don't)
• there is no karma, there are no karma limits. anyone can reblog anything, comment/reply to anything, or post in any tag
• "reposting"(reblogging) old content doesn't matter. people can and will reblog the same post multiple times, including in a row
• CAVEAT. reposting someones art(NOT reblogging, making a new post) is a dick move. i know this is commonplace on fandom subs but its not necessary here. everything you post should be [OC] unless you are reblogging. or posting shitty memes
• we have our own sitelore, you'll pick it up
• (though im not opposed to bringing some over from reddit)
• our app also sucks. we do not have third party apps and any that claim to be are scams. sorry
• for desktop, most people use the XKit Rewritten extension for QoL improvements and to revert shitty aesthetic updates, much like old.reddit
• we have no idea where the porn rules are at either. add a mature content flag to anything you'd get fired for looking at at work, that's about it
