My cishet straight man roommate: “I’m a *philosopher*. I have absurdly high standards for all art. I’m a manic pixie poet photographer who listens to Death Grips religiously. I don’t even watch video essays without critiquing them like Scorsese. Genre fiction isn’t art, only high art is art. Sabrina Carpenter isn’t a real artist, BTW; not like the Beatles.”
Also my roommate: “Haliey Welch is legitimately a postmodern performance artist.”
Me:
lois lane has never done anything wrong in her life ever is the thing. if lois has a thousand fans i am one of them. if she's mean to you and you're not grateful for that, that's your problem actually
not a week goes by without me remembering this jhonen vasquez strip and i so often want to reference it and i keep forgetting it is not, in fact, a well-known meme
someone at tumblr hq needs to turn down the dial on how often that bottom-of-the-page popup ad appears as one scrolls because my threshold between "that's cute" and "fuck off" is four times
do you. do you even want a story
Remember all you. THIS is the post that triggered Rita's ban.

I know my mental health is declining significantly when I start listening to stuff like “mommy dom asmr gf tells you she’s proud of you.”🗿
My boyfriend: art is a quasi divine thing, it is the pinnacle of human creation. Essentially, art is an artifice in which the artist imbues a particular lens in which a artist frames a particular object so as the viewer can interpret said object. Art exists separately from the medium; every medium can be used to make something entertaining or well crafted, but that doesn’t make it art, let alone good. Good Art will further its medium/media and/or give meaningful commentary on the world or human condition. *Good* art extends upon being aesthetically gratifying. This is why Sabrina Carpenter, genre fiction, blockbusters, Marvel, etc aren’t art, they’re merely entertainment.
Also my boyfriend: Hailey Welch is a post-modern performance artist

finished lightlark 2! this isn't a spoiler, it's bad
it's pretty much the exact same as the first book but more aimless and scattered. there's a lot of very obvious addressing the critique going on. a series of side quests around a plot which vaguely exists (not really) and an endless amount of grim fanservice. grim flashbacks are half the book and almost entirely a series of fanfiction tropes. it is extremely obviously cribbing off ACOTAR at every turn. it is not a duology and sets up another. the worldbuilding is really really trying to convince you it exists now but is infuriatingly bad. the author thinks you think there's any mystery if isla will date oro (no time or space) or grim (half the book and half a dozen sex or near sex scenes). isla has a magic giant warrior cat now. it's a panther. she names it lynx.
the book says her panther has pointy ears.
