Huh, This Here Is A Bit Odd

All at once? Yeah, that sounds cool, I wanna see that.

i keep seeing cop!dick posts on here so lemme just-

Hm. Well, we could go with "undead eternal nexus of suffering", probably? That is probably slightly worse than just going to hell... Does Hamlet go to hell, thinking of that?

how come you'll say tragedy is your favorite genre and then 100 thousand million people will be like "you should check out this adaptation of this famous tragedy but the twist is there's a happy ending this time." GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reblog to diminish the horrors from the person you reblogged from

Well, it's not exactly that, but it's pretty solidly in the something like that range, I'd say.

An Ancient Roman time-traveler would be really confused hearing "lactose-free milk" until they saw how it's spelled.

... I don't recall when exactly this was, but shortly after we have a firmly established infinite suffering Butcher ball, I doubt he'd approve a plan to try to move it to deeper waters so it stops causing issues. This annoys Taylor, who, of course, still Really wants the docks to be rebuilt, darn it.

Taylor was really in for coils image as “crime lord who will fix city” pre the Daihna plot twist

How long do you think it would take for her to hate his guts if he never told the undersiders about the drugged up kidnapped child in his basement I giver like two months before she wants to blow his brains out anyway

I thought that Hopepunk was just part of the broader what I'mma call Xpunk - where X is a thing, and punk actually just means future for some reason.

If grimdark isn't a genre, does that mean hopepunk isn't, either?

(With reference to this post here.)

"Hopepunk" is basically the culmination of nerd culture's mistaken propensity to treat genre as a prescriptive checklist of tropes. The term's proponents invented a definition of a genre of media they believed ought to exist, then went about looking for examples of media that fit that definition. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way – genres in media are something that can only be identified after the fact, as a description of emergent trends in the dialogue between creators. If you try to declare a genre into existence by fiat and work backwards to figure out which media belong to it by going down a checklist of tropes, you just end up with a random grab-bag of works which aren't meaningfully in dialogue with each other.

(Some definitions of "hopepunk" do admittedly somewhat resemble romantic fantasy, particularly the late 1980s to early 1990s strand, but as far as I can tell this is coincidental – it's abundantly clear that most of the term's proponents have never read a Mercedes Lackey novel!)
