One of my roommates cannot stand the way I play minecraft

Instead of looking for diamonds, fighting mobs, trying to go to the nether, doing potions/enchantments/whatever, I like to build these 1-block-wide platforms far above the ground that i walk on to explore without getting lost, attacked or generally inconvenienced. And they hate it

“If you don’t want to get lost just use a compass!” Takes redstone. Also I don’t want to. And on the ground there’s mobs

“Fight the mobs, they’re part of the game!” no. I get scared

“Just use mine carts!” And use all that iron?

“Then use boats and ice!” You need enchantments to collect ice. All my paths take is dirt and ladders (and torches)

“But they’re so UGLY!” Not the point

reading the source code of a videogame and playing it perfectly in my head

most annoying breed of author is actually someone who doesn’t respect a genre and sets out to subvert it.

I don’t think you’re ‘subverting’ anything just by stripping a genre of its classic modes of storytelling, sorry. yeah, you could just admit you thought that that specific subset of storytelling had nothing useful to say. you should probably shut up while you’re at it too, yeah.

I like a lot of fairy tale and mythology retellings, and even retellings that subvert the genre, but there are SO MANY fairy tale retellings that are like "ha! bet you never expected a WOMAN to be the hero!!!!" as if that isn't the plot of a good 50% of fairy tales where the heroine either has to rescue herself from a bad situation or rescue her beloved. People seemingly really enjoy telling on themselves that they've only experienced fairy tales from bad faith criticisms of Disney films rather than actually having read any of the originals before they set out to subvert them.

i dont mind when people are annoying online bc i remember back when i was 14 and so annoying online and its fun to be young and not know how to act we’ve all been there. Checks bio. oh theyre older than me

I don’t know if I should be amused or distressed by the realization that someday this post will probably be useful to linguists.

I dunno about linguists, but there might be some reddit refugees that appreciate it

Christians saved what was good from the pagan cultures they converted. This is why traditional music, literature, and art post-modernists hated even survives today. Monk saved the writings of the Greeks, Romans, Norse, etc. They kept the fairy tales and everything else which was good and brought it up to Christ-to God. Baptism is not just of a person, but a people, culture, and land.

This is what Christianity reclaiming the kingdom for God as he works through us and his Holy Church.

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.

"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."

Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.

The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."

I'm a "multiple interpretations of a character are valid" person until I see an interpretation that explicitly contradicts canon and then I start chewing on the drywall.

An interpretation that contradicts canon is not an interpretation, because at that point you're not interpreting the text, you're ignoring it.

Multiple interpretations are valid does not mean all interpretations are valid.

Art may be subjective, but that doesn't mean you can't be wrong.
