What They Don’t Tell You About Writing Is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

Ngl I totally forgot fandom discourse was a thing. I don’t care man, I have car payments

I love drawing them so much. It ain’t even funny anymore

its not funny but i do think about it a lot

I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.

“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.

— Roger Ebert in conversation with Hiyao Miyazaki

You know that whole "together in every universe" thing? But for Stobotnik it's just the one?

Its an outlier sure, an anomaly. But what if this strange accident the universe made was so potent and powerful that the rest of the universes suddenly became imbalanced and lacking. That they changed.

"I may not be there now, but I'll find a way to you."

And suddenly there he is. In every universe as if he's always been there and always will be.

His love like a catalyst, and chemical reaction. The universes may have felt Ivo didn't deserve it but damnit it knew that Stone did, And because Stone felt that Ivo deserved love, and his love was for Ivo, they gave them just this one gift. This blessing. It was all the two of them ever needed really.

Sorry 😔
