oh yeah. it is what it is. i’m not unhappy with movies we have as they are. i was just thinking about an alternate universe for the sake of thinking / imagining for fun

I think most fiction, even that which creators have full control over, ends up kinda weird and off and shallow [to me]. Like Really Makes You Think indie games and shit. Most things feel like mimicries of that which has come before them

I exactly did not play Undertale Yellow at first because its genre makes it really hard for it to be novel. But I played it, for the people

I don’t disagree, there is a saying that goes around that there are about 9 archetypes of plots for any type of fiction, and everything is just mimicing predecessors

(apologies for the patriarchal language, thats just what they call them)

  • man vs man
  • man vs self
  • man vs nature
  • man vs society
  • man vs fate/god
  • man caught in the middle
  • male and female
  • man vs machine
  • man vs unknown

hm. i probably could have written person instead of man, it doesnt serve the point to be man specifically but im not bothering rn

I love books and things and such which feel like reports of a world rather than a plot. I like being in an environment

maybe you don’t see yaoi as adversarial combat but it’s textbook man vs man to me

now that i look at it this is more so archetypes of conflict. so maybe i said the wrong thing. not archetypes of plots, but of conflicts. plots could probably use some different words. romance, as u just suggested

Yaio is man vs man? Does that mean the men are fighting at who’s better at Yaio?
