    This is kind of a weird thing about me but when I first started reading fanfic, watching online videos, etc, I actually experienced serious mental distress over this Like if I read a story that just didn't make sense I would freak out and think there was something wrong with mehttps://twitter.com/iridienne/status/1271680158966005761 …

    EXACTLY. That's my point. They have at a bare minimum been looked at by a fucking copyeditor and read, at least once, for a minimum level of "does this even make any fucking sense?"

        There's a certain feeling I get from certain bad books or bad movies that I think of as "surrealism" but is just incompetence Like I don't hate surrealism in itself but if I start getting that "surreal" feeling I do start to agonize over whether it's "good surrealism" or "bad"

        You know, it's like being gaslit When something happens in a story but it has no consequences, things just keep going as though something else happened entirely, stuff doesn't connect together that should

        David Lynch I think is compelling because he very much evokes this feeling while still obviously being competent enough that you know he's doing it on purpose His movies intentionally "make mistakes", the plot is full of holes, people's character is wildly inconsistent, etc

        Like that episode of Star Trek TNG with the jokey reveal that they're trapped in an alien simulation based on a very badly written Western novel The last guy in there killed himself because "I can no longer tolerate a world of contrived plots and stilted dialogue"

        It's a stupid joke but if you actually think about it's really chilling That's legitimately what I imagine the feeling of a psychotic episode being like, the sudden feeling of the world you're in being fundamentally fake It's why bad writing triggers this visceral disgust in me

        Hah. Whereas i grew up in Fandom back before people decided it was multiple, but i always had a lot of author friends even as a child, and they talked about their publishers. Which i think inoculated me against that to some extent?

        Like, i was always AWARE of the fact that publishers and editors were doing real work, not just being a "cartel" or whatever the fuck. I mean, they ARE a cartel, but they also serve an actual purpose that you can't just handwave away.

        What about something like Final Fantasy VII where the original translation is so broken it actually kinda doesn't make sense?

        For a while in the late 90s it seemed like everything coming out of Japan had to have a story that got really weird and fell apart at the end I blamed Evangelion

        Yeah, a big part of reading fanfic genuinely is developing an instinct for what's worth your time and a separate willingness to bail the instant it gets bad. I appreciate AO3's free form tagging because what people put there is way more revealing than the majority of summaries.
