people really be like “why is this character not behaving 100% effectively in line with their values and intentions while experiencing overwhelmingly strong emotions :/ so ooc” as if they themselves don’t make 6 irrational emotionally fueled decisions before breakfast like everyone else
For me watching tv/movies if i am not totally wiped out is generally best accompanied by a low concentration hand activity
But i have a glut of stuff to watch atm and I have mended all my holey socks, hemmed as many reusable makeup wipes as I could possibly require, and I have negative 100 need for additional scarves/blankets
So i am soliciting suggestions of craft or other activities simple enough to do while watching tv (i.e nothing where a minor miscount of stitches would be unrecoverable without frogging etc) but also ideally have some practical use (bc there are only so decorative crafts I can do before they just turn into boxes of clutter)
tshirt that says SOMETIMES WHEN A CHARACTER’S ACTIONS DON’T MATCH THEIR WORDS IT ISN’T BAD WRITING IT’S A NUANCE THE AUDIENCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP ON
i will ALWAYS clap my hands excitedly and lean forward in my seat when someone tells a character to “keep your dog on a leash” only for it to turn out they’re referring to another person
the way it reframes the entire relationship dynamic between the two people being addressed. the way wilful loyalty becomes hopeless devotion. the way aggression and violence goes from honorable and rational to bestial and instinctual. the ways faith and trust intersect with codependency and reliance. the questions about power and who wields it in the relationship it opens up. the way it functions as both an insult and an expression of intimidation, of fearful submission.
