The internet has always been heavily negative, but I can’t help but feel the past couple years it’s gotten so much worse
Like it’s not even just yelling over likes and dislikes, it’s now “If you don’t like/hate this you hate art and are ruining everything for everyone else!”

No. The correct way to understand this is to stop trying to make things fit together. You can watch different people playing Sherlock Holmes, in entirely different stories, without trying to make it add up. Stories are a dressing up box, not a jigsaw.

I know it is hard. I fail at this too. But instead of reacting to somebody else’s take on an article, try reading it yourself first.

if you want to be able to enjoy "bad" media here's my advice:
look at it as a piece of art made by an artist who made purposeful decisions instead of making a checklist of all the bad decisions you find
ask yourself why they did it that way, what they wanted to do, and you'll have a better time

My fandom hot take is we don’t really need hot takes anymore bc at this point they’re lukewarm at best. Regardless of what fandom you’re in lol.
“Unpopular opinion-“ actually a good 400 people agree with you! We talked about it already! We don’t need to keep whacking dead horses over n over n over!

I am truly content with my life at the moment. I'm living with my best friend, and she is so amazing she makes my heart sing with joy. We get to live our lives as we desire in the comfort of our very own home, I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world sometimes

Sometimes I worry I don't make it clear enough how angry I am at the state of the world, and the injustice that gets perpetrated both on a systematic and an interpersonal level. But if I did, then it would be you who would be doing the worrying

Part of me wonders if I'd just be happier experiencing other people's creations, rather than creating myself. I don't think that's an ignoble thing to think

I know I haven't shared many creative endeavours recently, I am constantly working on stuff, but to be honest at the moment I'm quite happy just to do it for my own amusement more than anything else
