“Erm Hollywood/ Gaming Industry/ Music/ publishers don’t make anything original anymore it’s just sequels, remakes, samples, and prequels!”
I’m going to hold your hand when I tell you this:
Support original art outside of existing pillar franchises and labels.
If you remain inactive in supporting new things, everything will stay the same. Studios, producers, and executives only produce games, movies, music, and TV shows if they believe there’s a fanbase for it. Many book publishers won't take risks on picking up an existing series unless they can prove a major return.
I’m done with this stale argument that everything sucks now. If you’re unhappy with the industry, do something about it or stop complaining. Stop hate watching and start engaging with content you enjoy. Take a chance on new content, you might be missing out.
The era of the hate-watching YouTube essay reviewer is slowly ending, and that's a good thing. Don’t let these reviewers, who often don't even watch what they critique, deter you from trying new things. They often have agendas to convince you that only their specific taste of art is worthwhile. They also don’t like a majority of things even indie.
Form your own opinions and seek out new things to enjoy. Deconstructing and hating is easy; constructing and loving is much harder.
You should be Loving someone
A very Neal Caffrey New York
i really wish i hadn’t charmed my therapist
maybe i wouldn’t be sitting in the position if i had
i wanted her approval just as much as anyone else’s
so i lied and cried at the right parts
reeling her in until-
snatch.
“this is not your fault”
but you see sarah,
it is.
all of it is.
but if i reveal my tactic of manipulation
my whole facade will come crumbling down
and you’ll begin to realize that i am not the victim of my own story
i’ve been pulling the right strings and moving the right pawns
but again, here i am
wishing i didn’t have to lie to you
because right now. i need you.
