Slash Shaming

xanthewalter:

“Personally, I hate the way so many shows get reduced to some ship or another, het or slash, by fans and by the media, but let’s at least have a level playing field here.”

I’ve noticed a theme in recent weeks, and wanted to talk about it.

Artist Statement:

We interact with the internet differently than we do with the real world in a way that separates our online lives from off offline lives. With the internet, we can allow ourselves to enter a dream realm with technology that works as fast as our imagination. It is an opportunity to create an online mask to hide our identities, create an ideal version of ourselves, or play completely different characters. These masks we create online now have the potential to seep into reality thanks to new technology. What I have created are digitally painted masks of personas and internet personalities that can live stream onto users faces to let them experience how different one person can be in these worlds and question how genuinely we let ourselves be perceived.

When I was in high school, I liked to pretend that I was a Russian foreign exchange student. I would do things like go into a pizza restaurant and tell them I’d never had pizza before, and they’d bring me into the kitchen and show me how to make an American pizza. It’s really fun. People relate to you totally differently, and show you a side to themselves that you never see in your regular voice. So I guess the short answer is just “By fucking around. —

“I swear to god, Steve, I will drop the PASIV out of this fucking window if you don’t tell me RIGHT NOW why you thought taking this goddamn job was a good idea, what with Bucky running around in our heads trying to shoot us out of our dreams.”

“Can’t you feel it, Clint? You’re antsy. We’re all antsy. We’ve been the best dreamshare team there is out there since Cobb’s disbanded, and we haven’t gone under in over a year.”

Avengers Inception AU → wherein Thor of Odin Corp. hires Steve Rogers’ elite dreamsharing team to perform inception on his brother, Loki, and a shade of their ex-resident thief Bucky (who was killed when the team’s last job went horribly wrong) tries his best to sabotage it.

Or: Steve extracts, Tony builds, Clint runs point, Natasha’s a master of impersonation, Bruce concocts, Thor’s a tourist, and things happen.

That wasn’t a season finale, and it wasn’t meant to be

mediumtrip:

lettersfromtitan:

So everyone keeps getting annoyed when Ryan Murphy says “We’re doing something that’s never been done on television before” because we have assumed he’s meant splitting the location of the show as they have for S4, or splitting the school year as they are in S4/S5. Neither of which, frankly, seem particularly innovative.

But I’m fairly certain that’s not actually quite what he’s talking about it. What I think he’s talking about is seasons as the structural unit of American television.

Back during S3 when Glee’s ratings were tanking and they were negotiating for S4, there was a persistent rumor that because of the split season plan Murphy wanted 30-ish episodes. That would, among other things, have gotten Glee close to the magic 100 episode number for syndication and allow both NYC and Lima stories to get equal time.

That didn’t happen, and S4 was 22 episodes.

But S4 wasn’t written like a 22 episode season. It was written like 22 episodes of a 30ish-episode season.

My belief, especially with Glee’s frequent/constant hiatuses, is that Murphy has jettisoned seasons as a narrative unit of measurement.

No one would be particularly pissed about this episode if it wasn’t the season finale.

And while it may be the season finale in the sense of now the hiatus is a long one and this is how Fox marketed it, I don’t think that’s what we just saw.

5.01 will actually be 4.23. And Murphy hasn’t been full of shit. He’s narratively jettisoned the typical structural unit of US TV and we’ve been rolling our eyes at his huge, ground-breaking change, because nothing on the business and marketing end has lent itself to us being told this or hearing it when we’re told it.

And the shocking two season deal? Not really about two seasons. Just about the space it takes to finish the story. Which is really the rest of the 30ish episode S4 and a 30ish episode S5.

Bolding mine. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
