Ok I have a rant about this and I’m going to go on it. https://twitter.com/1mpavidus/status/1356382506614841347

Stories have so many things in them and symbolism and depth to them is like my favorite thing.
Stories are a bunch of strands that come together and make a beautiful fucking tapestry. Each thread is important, even the small ones, the tiny details that are hard to notice. They all add to the totality of the tapestry.
It’s beautiful, and taking the time to examine everything that goes into to making that story is so rewarding.
Like one my big things about stories is connections. To me telling a story is sharing part of yourself with the world, it’s about putting part of your soul out there.
And souls are complicated, but they are so worth appreciating.

Take the time to see what people have put out there, put it together. Learn about others and connect with that part of them that they put out there. Looking deeper into it only serves to make more connections and to understand the storyteller more.
And sure, not all stories have a ton of depth to them, and they don’t need to.
But some do and that deserves to be appreciated y’know?

It’s so frustrating to me when people don’t look at the depth of stories because it’s like looking at a bunch of puzzle prices and going “oh cool shapes”
Like they all fit together, take the time and put them together so you can see the totality of it.

That’s not even a good metaphor really because stories are more than the sum of their parts.
Idk maybe this is why I struggle to get more things. I dive into things so much and spend so much time thinking about them and it takes a lot of energy to get into other things because I like *have* to go that deep into it. Idk why.
And I get that people don’t necessarily want to get as deep into things as I do and that fine, I can deal with that itch in my brain.
What I absolutely can not deal with is “it’s not that deep bro” because fuck you it is, and even if it isn’t I want it to be.

Because I enjoy analysis, I love thinking about things, sometimes to an unhealthy extent.
I can’t count the hours of sleep I’ve lost because I was thinking about fucking Godzilla and the metaphors that are tangled in those stories.
And I wouldn’t change that.

Because that’s what I like.
This was a mess of a rant but the point is:
It worth analyzing and understanding stories. Please think about your media.
I hope I communicated that.
